Better and Tougher
Chapter 38: Into the Mind of a Monster! Final Episode of the Ocean Adventures
"You, Yetis Masorga, and your puny Swinub cannot defeat Numel. It has been trained for this very battle, and you're going down now!" boomed an angry voice, it was the god of the temple. "Numel, start off with Flame Wheel!"
"Swinub, calm the fires with Powder Snow." Yetis commanded to which the humped one unleashed a circulating shot of fire. It didn't get too far, for upon contact with the mighty snowstorm that Swinub produced, the ice melted and the fire turned to steam. A stalemated first strike. But this equal grounded war wouldn't last.
"Don't be afraid buddy." Yetis smiled as he knelt to pat the pig on the back., "Win or lose, I'm still proud of ya." he smiled, and Swinub smiled back with a hoggish squeal. "Takedown!" The pig was back in action, dashing across the field at a fast speed to unleash his fury.
"Rock Throw!" commanded the deity, to which hardened lava spewed from the camel's back. Hot, and solid, these molten rocks looked like bad news.
"Swerve about, and move in for the kill!" Yetis told the pig as it dodged the assault of rocks, growing close enough to strike.
"Not going to happen so easily." the deity seemed unimpressed, "Leap up and body slam..." it said to the dopey camel. Oddly enough, it managed to jump most easily, and began falling fast with its hooves ready to pounce.
"Don't let that thing escape you now!" commanded Yetis. "Leap up and follow through!" the swine was determined, excepting no hogwash answers, it leapt into the air and slammed into the Camel's underbelly. It was too much for the camel, who fell sideways and collapsed.
"Another win, that makes 2. Carl, you're battling again. This is going to be a snaking battle of serpentine proportions. No mercy from Seviper!"
Carl, who had been watching Yetis' battle, was ready for this. "Ekans," he spoke to his side, "Go in there and show em who's boss." at this, the snake slithered into the battlefield, awaiting the fray.
"Bite that lesser snake." laughed the deity, figuring this would be a very easy battle to win. The bigger snake, the glossy black one with fangs, lunged at Carl's Ekans with its sharp fangs ready to feed like a vampire. The snake of course, easily dodged.
"Counter it, use Iron Tail!" he commanded, having Ekans use its newest move. The snake's tail began to glow, the usual purple tip was a now a more metallic shade of the color, glowing with power and energy. Ekans swung his tail rodeo style, and moved in to beam the fang mouthed snake.
"Grab the tail in your teeth then wrap its body!" this, made Carl gasp, but it was too late to reassign the snake some new orders, because by then, it already had whipped its tail for a lunge. Only to have a fatter portion of its tail grasped within a Viper mouth. From there, it quickly rammed at Ekans with its body ready to loop about and squeeze. "You cant escape now."
"This looks bad." Kim stated. Ekans was being squeezed, constricted by a bigger snake. Its face was level with the face of a nastier pokemon, but Carl had a few ideas.
"Ekans, muster your energy, and go face to face with a glare!" Carl commanded, to which the snake attempted to twist, the grip however, was tight. Ekans wasn't feeling too well, maybe because such constriction can suffocate the living. What could it do. It only knew one option, one possible way to escape certain defeat. It started to glow. Yes, its that time again folks.
"Holy cow!" said the ever stupid Elise.
"Hey!" went a feeling hurt deity. "I should smite you for that insult."
"No stupid!" Kim corrected, "Ekans is... evolving."
And after about 3 seconds, the glow stopped. Ekans had grown nearly %50 percent longer, and it grew a cobra fan that displayed a vibrant variety of shades of purple, red and yellow. "Chaabok!" it shouted, still in pain.
"Alright, I got a Chabok!" smiled Carl, listening to it say its name.
"Actually," Yetis corrected, "It's called Arbok, the evolved form of Ekans."
"Ok... Arbok!" Carl commanded, "Try and go eye to eye with that Seviper!" Carl ordered. To which, the snake easily managed eye contact with its foe. It stared in slight confusion at this action. "Glare, now!" and then, Seviper never knew what happened. It was a Point-blank stare, and boy did it hurt the beasts eyes. "While its down, bite its tail and toss it around... like a rubber chicken!" Carl said. Arbok merely glanced for a second as if to infer, 'Why did I never pick up on how stupid your foolish analogies were before now?' but went about doing what it had to do. It grasped the Seviper in its more powerful jaw, and began spinning it around like as if it were a wild dog shaking around prey. In circles, it twirled the beast, "Now toss it at the wall." Carl smiled, as Arbok complied, and its prey fell victim to the power of the wall. "Yea! Good job buddy!" he smiled, giving the now larger snake a hug. It however, had other issues to work out.
Still out of her pokeball was Charmeleon, and Arbok was hardly a prizewinning face to look at, even though its fan was a rich variety of color. There were love issues that would need to be worked out.
"Ya know, you people make me sick." said God, "You need only one more victory, can you pull it off, Elise? We'll find out. You are going to play it by book, bird for bird!"
"You talk funny." said the ever blissful Elise. "But Hoot-hoot will have fun fighting you., right boy?" she smiled, receiving a hoot in responsive nod. The bird itself was odd. It had 2 large eyes, and almost looked to be cursed with only one foot. Its wings looked featherless, and its head seemed to possess what looked like blue colored cylinders, capped with a cone for eyebrows. A definitely weird beast. "Hoot-Hoot, get it!" she smiled.
The deity had one thing to say, "You didn't let me finish." he sighed, "Now Miss Moron, you will be fighting Taillow." he unleashed the yellow bellied bird. "Quickly start off with Quick Attack." he commanded as the bird soon proved to be a vigorous warrior built to kick butt! Hoot-Hoot never even had a chance to blink.
"Hoot-Hoot, use Peck!" commanded Elise, to this, the freaky beaky owl flew forward hardly as fast as Taillow, and used its flattish beak to unleash a weak peck attack.
"Is that the best you can do?" wondered the god. "Make this quick, use double team!" he told the little bird, who began doing multiplication of himself.
Elise however, was ready for such ordeals, at least Hoot-Hoot was, she smiled in a foolish way, "Foresight." she said. From that perspective, red eye beams were directed all around, infra-red. The fake birds were easily vaporized, leaving only one real one. "Hit the real one with Hypnosis." she said, as the red eye beams began to co-exist with a hypnotic beam of sleep power.
"God Damn!" said Yetis... who was smote shortly after. "I wasn't referring to you!" he shrieked with extreme 'pissed off'-ness.
"Oh, right." said the god, "My bad."
"Elise is hot!" said the mermaid girl, Tanya, who was obviously referring to her battling skills.
"You know how much it turns me on to hear that coming from someone such as your or Kim?" Carl smiled as his brain went into perv mode.
"You know how much I want to kill you?" Kim said, not too amused by Carl's perverted jokes.
Meanwhile, it seems that Elise's Hoot-Hoot has easily managed to break the double team, and Taillow was now snoozing. "I win!"
"No, you don't win." said the deity, mimicking her voice. "You need to beat the crap out of it to win, not give it nap time."
"Fine, fine. Hoot-Hoot, just bombard it with tackles so we can all go home." she sighed. The bird flapped its tiny wings and used its plump body to quickly sumo tackle the beast. Unfortunately, its eyes opened before it could even strike.
"What gives?" said Kim.
"Mint Berry!" said the deity smugly. "This team was designed against you. Always expect Hypnosis from an Owl! You'll pay dearly for this. Wing Attack!" he commanded, as Taillow zipped like a jet fighter, whizzing into Hoot-Hoot with wings ablaze with energy. Hoot-Hoot still had some energy in it however.
"You wanna play rough, fine! Hoot-Hoot, use Confusion!" Elise told the plump owl, as it snatched the bird and began mentally pounding the tar out of it. This tar would be used at a later date, along with the feathers being ripped off this bird, to tar and feather it... but you don't get to see it, haha! The Mental blast of wall smashes and such was too much, and Taillow was down for the count. "We... I won?" she wondered.
"She won!" cheered Carl, "We've beaten God at his own sick-minded games!"
"Well, you did win. As promised, you will earn a wish." said the god reluctantly.
"Yea, yea." said Carl, "But, can we see what you look like before we make our wishes?" Carl wondered.
God sighed, "Very well, you will be of a very limited population. You will stare into the face of a god!" it said, as a light began to glow, a figure appearing!
Well, well... what's this? The end of the chapter? Duh! I need cliffhangers here, even in the ocean! What will this deity look like? What if I said you could help give him (or her or it, or anything) a make-over? I'm a bit stumped as to what it should be. As always, be sure to submit trainers, but remember people, TM moves aren't something you find every day. One or 2 extraneous moves here or there is fine, but c'mon, I don't want to feel like I'm in a battle against Lv 100 pokemon. (Then again, Im appalled to using levels in this.) Remember, as far as normally learnt moves go, don't mention them, the pokemon should have them by default. Maybe if you intend to be met much later, then you can submit your high powered twink teams, but try to keep things reasonable with the pace of the story. Remember, if you want to be seen sooner, don't go super high leveled, or you might not get to be in until we get to the League Finals. That'll be more than 50 chapters or so away, trust me. Remember though, keep reviewing, and do not be afraid to point out mistakes I make, and flaws in grammar and writing. Until next time, Keep Writing, Keep Fighting! By the way, if you're wondering, after next Chapter, I'm getting Started on Carl's rival, Mark's mini-series, Odyssey of an Enemy. And our first Submitted trainer will be used, it's *******************. OOPS! Static connection, guess you'll just have to find out now, huh? It'll get to you all soon, just click the button called Review, and it'll work like magic! Peace!
