Chapter 52: Sensed For Six
The next morning after a well needed rest, Angelina and Jeremy were in the lobby of the Pokemon Pavilion to find out who they were battling in the sixth rounds.
Reaching a counter, Angelina had to fish for another Magikarp, this time coded B2. She looked up at the computer and showed her next challenger was a girl with lite long brown hair and green eyes. Her match was at 2 o'clock.
"What about yours?" Angelina asked her best friend.
"Mine is some guy that specializes in Grass-types," Jeremy replied, "It's not till 4 o'clock and I have a few hours to strategize."
"Oh okay," Angelina said.
Back at the cabin; Angelina, Marcus, April, Aunt Vicky, Christina and Jeremy sat down at the kitchen table as Jynx served everyone some hamburgers and french fries along with some soda.
"Did you manage to get information on your challenger?" Jeremy asked Angelina after taking a bite of her hamburger.
"Uhm," Angelina echoed with her mouth full of hamburger, "Not yet," she swallowed, "I'm gonna use Delibird again, and Raichu, and Azumarill!"
"Just remember you have to use six Pokemon," Jeremy pointed out.
"Oh that's right," Angelina slowly said. "Then maybe I'll use Absol, Golem too, and-"
"Charizard!" Marcus interrupted with a laugh, "Set them all to blaze!" he joked around and laughed some as did everyone else.
Aunt Vicky puts Christina down for a nap, while April, Marcus, and Jeremy enjoyed some television. Meanwhile, Angelina was busy looking up information on her next challenger.
Julianna Branson: ID-65321
Most used Pokemon: Altaria, Delcatty, Grovyle, Growlithe, Dewgong, and Electrode
'She's from the Hoenn Region,' Angelina thought to herself, 'And three of the six Pokemon are found there.'
"Hey Angel, did you forget about Ritchie's match?" Jeremy yelled from downstairs. That really jogged the female trainer out of her brainstorming. They ran down to the stadium and greeted Ritchie in the locker room, even Ash and his friends showed up to wish him luck too.
Everyone took their seats and the battle begins. Both trainers are fairly equally matched and they are soon both down to their last Pokemon. Ritchie's opponent Assunta chooses Ivysaur and Ritchie sends out Sparky. Ash was enthusiastic about cheering for Ritchie more than his friends and sister. Ivysaur rushes past Sparky almost as soon as he had appeared and used Vine Whip to sweep Sparky off his feet. None of Sparky's Thundershocks were connecting as Ivysaur jumped into the air and unleashed a Solarbeam that struck Sparky and hurled him into the ground. Just as Sparky gets up, he is knocked out by Ivysaur's Tackle. He struggles to get up again, but Sparky faints and Assunta wins the battle.
Everyone was very disappointed that Ritchie lost, Angelina didn't blame her brother for running off to cheer up his friend. She was going over last minute plans in the locker room before she made her way onto the field. Her opponent, Julianna had already taken her place in the other trainer box. She wore a black pair of jeans and a blue blouse with white sneakers.
"Six Pokemon each!" the referee announced, "Both trainers may switch at any time! No time limit!" he said as the red-and-green wheel on the scoreboard between Angelina and Julianna's pictures started to glow and spin around. It then slowed down and stopped on the red section. Angelina was green this time. "The red trainer, Julianna will choose her Pokemon first!"
"So," Julianna looked at the plain slightly dirted field. She smiled and grabbed a Pokeball from her belt and threw it. The white light revealed a large blue phoenix-like Pokemon with white cheeks and two long cloud-like wings.
"An Altaria!" the announcer gasped as did the crowd.
Angelina whipped out her Pokedex. "Altaria, the Humming Pokemon. A dual-type Dragon/Flying. By singing melodies in its crystal-clear voice, this Pokémon makes its listeners experience dreamy wonderment."
'Perfect,' Angelina thought to herself as she enlarged a Pokeball, "Ice-Wing, go!" she threw it and called on the delivery-bird Pokemon.
"Deli-Deli!" it squawked and stared at the floating dragon.
"Angelina has the advantage," April said to everyone beside her.
"Go Angelina!" Aunt Vicky shouted.
"Delibird vs. Altaria, begin!" the referee called.
"Altaria, start off with Dragonbreath!"
"Counter with Ice Beam!"
"Al," the light dragon inhaled some air gently, "TARIA!" it roared and fired a greenish flame out of its mouth.
"Deli!" the Ice Pokemon yelled as it's small mouth unleashed a baby blue beam of ice.
The two attacks met for a moment before Ice Beam overpowered the Dragonbreath and hits Altaria in the chest section, leaving small ice blocks on it's fluffy cloud exterior.
"Now Ice-Wing, use Ice Beam again!"
"Delibird!" the delivery-bird Pokemon once again bellowed out a baby blue beam of ice, quickly striking Altaria in the chest again and freezing more of it's cloud like veil. Altaria cried in pain and shivered from the cold.
"Use Take Down!" Julianna commanded.
"Allllll!" the dragon started to fly near Delibird, when it was about a foot away it stopped as Delibird looked up at it, Altaria's cloud part of it's body was weighing it down, leaving it immobile.
"Now use Blizzard!" Angelina smiled triumphantly.
"Deli!" the delivery-bird grew in size as it inhaled a large amount of oxygen, exhaled a chilly breath of frozen particle, hitting the lazy Altaria and engulfing it in an ice block.
"Altaria is unable to battle! Delibird is the winner!" the referee said as Julianna's first light went out.
"Good job so far," Marcus said.
"And Delibird takes the lead with its Ice advantages over Altaria!" the announcer said to the wild crowd.
Julianna withdrew Altaria and thanked it, then latched the Pokeball to her belt and enlarging another one. She threw it and summoned a delicate feline Pokémon with tan-colored fur and purple ears. It purred softly and primly licked a paw before looking up at its opponent.
Angelina whipped out her Pokedex. "Delcatty. The Prim Pokemon. It is highly popular among female Trainers, they are used in competition for their style and fur."
"Delcatty, use Thunderbolt!"
"DEL!" the cat's light fur started to emit some static, forming into a blue lightning bolt and fires it at the opponent.
"Ice-Wing!" Angelina cried out, knowing electrical attacks were super effective. Her Pokemon took the attack head on, however it managed to hang on. "Okay good! Now use Aerial Ace!"
"Deli!" Delibird's body becomes surrounded by white streaks and flies toward Delcatty with top speed. It thrusted it's whole body into the fancy Pokemon's chest area, knocking back Delcatty about four feet.
"Delcatty, use Take Down!"
"Use Blizzard!"
"Catty!" the Prim Pokemon got back up on all four and sprinted at Delibird.
Delibird waves the wing holding its tail back and forth and an icy wind filled with small snowballs comes out, hitting the charging Delcatty and sending her skidding backward on her stomach as she howled in agony. Delibird stopped it's attack and cried with joy.
"Finish off with Ice Beam!"
"Delcatty, counter with your own Ice Beam!"
Both Pokemon opened their mouths and quickly fired a lite blue beam at the same time and were both knocked to the ground as ice quickly formed and shattered, sending the shards of ice everywhere. Delibird flew out of range while Delcatty got the worse of it and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Delcatty is unable to battle! The winner is Delibird!" the referee yelled as another light went out under Julianna's picture.
"Keep it up, Angelina!" April yelled.
"Awesome job, Ice-Wing!" Angelina congratulated her Pokemon as Julianna withdrew Delcatty.
"Deli Deli!" it chirped.
'This will shut them up,' Julianna thought as she enlarged a Pokeball and released an orange furred, canine Pokemon that growled at Delibird.
"Growlithe, use Flamethrower!"
"Growl!" Growlithe inhaled and exhaled a red-orange stream of hot magma at the speed of light.
"Ice-Wing, dodge!" Angelina ordered, but Delibird was unable to outrun the flames and was engulfed by them. When the flames dispersed, the Ice Pokemon still stood but with minor burns. "Okay, now use Ice Beam!"
"Deli!" the delivery-bird squawked and formed a blue beam colored baby blue of ice and released it at Growlithe.
"Growlithe, Take Down!"
"Use Quick Attack, Ice-Wing!"
Growlithe's body became surrounded by a golden aura while Delibird disappeared and reappeared in great speads with white energy trailing behind it. Both Pokémon collided together, trying to knock each other down.
"You can do it, Ice-Wing! Aurora Beam!" Angelina shouted.
"DELI!" the Delivery Pokemon creates a glowing bluish green orb from its mouth, and launches a glowing green and black beam at Growlithe, whom takes the hit directly and falls over in defeat.
"Growlithe is unable to battle! Delibird wins!" the judge said over the roaring crowd as he held up the green flag and another light went out under Julianna's picture.
"Can't believe an Ice-type knocked out a Fire-type!" Jeremy said, feeling proud for his best friend. "You can do it, Angelina!"
Julianna withdrew Growlithe and latched the Pokeball on her belt after thanking it. She smirked and enlarged a Pokeball, kissing it and throwing it.
"Grov!" a huge green raptor like creature formed, glaring at Delibird.
"And Julianna goes with her Grovyle!" the announcer stated. "This Pokemon is the evolution of one of the three starters for beginner trainers in the Hoenn Region!"
"There's gotta be more to that," Angelina said, taking out her Pokedex again.
"Grovyle, the Wood Gecko Pokemon. The leaves growing out of Grovyle's body are convenient for camouflaging it from enemies in the forest. A master at climbing trees, no Pokemon can ever hope to catch a fleeing Grovyle however fast they may be."
"Just what I needed to here," Angelina smirked. "Get'em with Ice Beam!"
"Use Leaf Blade, Grovyle!"
Before Delibird could blink, Grovyle used the sharp leaves on it's right wrist to slash Delibird in the forehead four times, causing the bird Pokemon to cry in pain as Grovyle grinned viciously.
"Now finish it with Dragonbreath!"
"Grov!" the raptor like Pokemon inhaled a breath and exhaled a greenish flame, quickly devouring Delibird and mystically burning it. When the flame died away Delibird fell over, under it's shaggy fur was two swirly eyes.
"Delibird is unable to battle! Grovyle wins!" the judge said as Angelina's first light went out.
"Awesome job," Angelina said to her Pokemon after she withdrew it, then latches the Pokeball to her belt and enlarging another one. "Let's go, Charcoal!" she threw it and and released the fire-dragon Pokemon. Its loud roar shook the whole stadium.
"This battle is just getting started!" the announcer man told the clapping crowd.
"Heat things up with Flamethrower!" Angelina directed.
"Grovyle, dodge and use Quick Attack!"
Charizard reared back it's head and brought it back into place, exhaling an amazing jet of red and orange flames towards Grovyle, but the Wood Gecko Pokemon quickly ran out of the way, leaving behind a white trail as it ran behind Charizard then slammed into it from behind, knocking the Fire-Dragon onto the ground.
"Charcoal, get up and use Fly!" Angelina told Pokemon, watching him bound into the air and soar above the battlefield on its massive orange and blue wings.
"Grovyle, take it down with Leaf Storm!" The leaves on Grovyle's arms began to glow white before changing to a green color, at which point he launched a Leaf Storm at Charizard.
"Charcoal, use Dragon Pulse!" Charizard opened his mouth and fired a turquoise ball of energy that broke through the light green glowing leaves and struck Grovyle in the chest. "Now finish with Flare Blitz!"
While Grovyle was reeling from the attack, Charizard surrounded his body with reddish-orange flames and shot towards Grovyle like a missile. It knocked the wind out of the Grovyle and sent it flying off the battlefield and into the wall, landing on the ground with swirls in his eyes.
"No!" Julianna gasped.
"Grovyle is unable to battle!" the referee called out, raising a green flag. "Charizard wins!"
"Nice try," Julianna complemented as she withdrew the Grass-type and latched it to her belt. "I'll use Electrode!" she smiled and threw the Pokeball, revealing a Pokemon that has a mouth and resembles an upside down Pokeball.
"Elec-trode!" the ball sparked up some static.
"Charcoal, use Earthquake!" Angelina ordered.
"Explosion!" Julianna shouted.
Charizard swung his tail down and crashed it into the ground that begins to shake violently. Meanwhile, Electrode began to glow white as it gathers up electricity and exploded completely, leaving smoke all over the arena.
"Oh no!" Marcus gasped as the smoke died down.
"Electrode is unable to battle! Charizard wins!" the referee said as Julianna's fifth light went out. Charizard was still alive and flying in the air as it stared at the black Electrode.
"Return!" both trainers said as they withdrew their Pokemon and put up the Pokeballs.
Angelina knew her Charizard can no longer participate in the battle, but she had four other Pokemon in waiting and wasn't the least bit worried. Her opponent had one Pokemon left and wouldn't be able to knock them out unless she had the advantages. 'This battle is mine,' She smiled as she enlarged her third Pokeball and threw it, "Sparkette go!"
"Rai!" the mouse landed on the field with static sparking from her yellow cheeks.
"Dewgong go!" Julianna threw the Pokeball, knowing it was her last ditch effort as the Sea-Lion Pokemon took it's place into the pool on the field.
"Julianna is down to her last Pokemon while Angelina has four remaining!" the announcer responded. "Will she be able to turn this battle around or will Angelina be victorious?"
"Dewgong, use Ice Beam!" Julianna commanded
"Sparkette, dodge with Agility!" Angelina shouted.
A light blue ball forms on Dewgong's horn and fires a light blue beam that Raichu avoided.
"Good work! Now use Thunderbolt!" Angelina ordered.
"Rai-Rai!" Raichu's cheeks crackle with yellow electricity and released many powerful bolts from her body that struck Dewgong hard.
"Dew-gooooong!" the ice/water type cried as the static died down and straightened out.
"Use Take Down!" Julianna shouted.
Dewgong swam quickly across the pool and slams into Raichu with great force. Raichu was sent sailing through the air, but landed on her feet.
"Dewgong, stop them with Blizzard!"
Dewgong opened its mouth and released a storm of frost-biting wind, pelting snow, and sheering ice at Raichu.
"Sparkette, use Thunder!"
"Rai!" the female rodent cried out as a massive blast of electricity materialized in the clouds and fried the Ice-Lion Pokemon just as the blizzard disappeared. Dewgong crashed to the ground as black marks covered it's white fur, it's eyes were crossed out.
"Dewgong is unable to battle! The battle goes to Angelina Murakami of Pallet Town!" the referee declared as Julianna's final light went out and the crowd cheered loudly.
"Yes! I won!" Angelina shouted in excitement. She knelt down and hugged her Raichu. "Great job, Sparkette!" She didn't even bother to notice her opponent walk out of the stadium without saying a word.
"And Angelina Murakami comes out the winner! She will be moving on to the quarter finals!" the announcer exclaimed as confetti came down from everywhere.
