CHAPTER TWO
Joseph walked along the road, beaming at his two new Pokemon.
"Stop right there Joseph!"
Joseph turned around to see Alex standing a little down the path.
"Hey, Alex, check out my two new Pokemon"
"Oh I will," he said, "POKE BALL GO"
In a flash of white light, a Pokemon emerged from the poke ball.
"Mudkip" it said.
"Joseph, you are gonna pay for taking those Pokemon. I wanted one of them so I could have two. But you took them. You had five years to get a Pokemon but you waited until now."
Joseph stared at Alex, "I don't have the slightest clue about what's going on, but if you want a battle, I'll give you a battle."
"GO EEVEE!"
The Eevee Joseph had just received popped out of its poke ball, ready to fight. Professor Birch was sitting in a tree near the road. Waiting for the battle to start.
"Let's make the first move Eevee, USE IRON TAIL, GO!"
Eevee jumped up high flipping in the air, its tail shined white. It came down with a force, but the Mudkip jumped to the side, causing Eevee to leave a huge crater in the ground where its tail hit.
"WATER GUN MUDKIP!"
The Mudkip opened its mouth and a humongous spray of water shot out at Eevee. Eevee couldn't dodge it all the way and took a hard hit. It skidded on the ground but quickly jumped back up again.
"You ok Eevee?"
"Eevveeee" it said.
"Awesome, NOW GO, USE SAND ATTACK!"
Eevee kicked up a humongous wall of sand, blinding Alex and his Mudkip.
"WAAAAHH!" screamed Alex, "WHERE'S THE EEVEE?"
The sand was everywhere; Alex and his Mudkip could see nothing.
"Use shadow ball Eevee."
Through the wall of sand came a black ball of energy. It ripped through and hit Alex's Mudkip dead on target. It flew back and collided with Alex. They fell to the ground in a heap.
"D-dang it Joseph, how are you so strong, you never battled before."
"I know, but I watch other people battle all the time. I know enough moves and strategies to take you down"
"I won't forget this Joseph, I will beat you. You are now my official rival."
Alex took off down the road, rushing past Joseph. Joseph watched him go.
"That was quite a battle Joseph"
"Huh! Professor? What are you doing here, I thought you left."
"I was going to leave, but then I heard that kid shouting he was going to make you pay for something."
"Yeah . . . About that, umm . . . Do you have any idea what that was about?"
"I think he was angry that you took the last two Pokemon."
"That's it? That's why he was so pissed at me. Damn it, now he's gonna follow me around for revenge!"
"But you did do extremely well in your battle. I was surprised myself. How did you know that Eevee could use shadow ball?"
"I saw it on T.V."
"So T.V. isn't that bad for you after all."
"Thank you for the two Pokemon Professor Birch."
"Your welcome Joseph."
Joseph turned and walked down the road, back to his house. Professor Birch watched him as he walked, and then, he to, headed back to his ship. The captain was waiting for him, "how was the fight, it wasn't that long. Did Joseph win or lose?" asked the captain as Birch boarded the ship.
"He won. He took down Alex like he was nothing."
The captain nodded, "I see"
"We are leaving now," Birch said to the captain. As the boat started up and was leaving the port, Professor Birch walked out and stood at the bow, thinking about the battle. 'That Joseph will make an excellent trainer' he thought to himself.
Soon the boat was out into the deep water. Night had come, and Mossdeep city was barley visible in the moonlight. Professor Birch was in his room, looking over the pictures he had secretly taken during the battle. Then, he noticed something strange. "The eyes of the Eevee were glowing!" he said. He studied the pictures for an hour. 'The eyes were glowing the entire time, but they glowed even brighter when it attacked' he thought. "What could this mean?"
As Professor Birch studied the pictures a while more, he heard a knock on his door.
"Birch come quick, there is something strange outside."
Professor Birch ran outside to investigate. There was a black shape rising out of the water on the port side of the ship.
"What the hell is that?" said Birch.
Suddenly, the black shape shot out of the water, revealing that it was actually a submarine. The entire crew stared at it in awe. A man soon emerged from the top of the sub. He was tall with white hair down to his shoulders. He wore an all black suit with a fur hood down. He had a mark under his left eye that looked like a half moon.
"Professor Birch I assume?" said the man.
"yes" replied Birch, "what do you want?"
"I am called Zelsa, leader of team Moon. I want the Eevee that you have on board."
"I have no Eevee with me."
"that means that you left it at Mossdeep. Am I right professor?"
"I'm not telling you anything Zelsa."
"so you did leave it there. Heh. Well, we can't have you rushing back to warn everyone now, can't we? COME OUT TYRANITAR!"
He threw a poke ball high into the air. A humongous Tyranitar popped out of the ball and landed with a thud next to Zelsa. The weight of the gigantic Pokemon caused the entire submarine to sink a little deeper into the water.
"ABANDON SHIP EVERYONE" shouted professor Birch. The entire crew jumped off the starboard side of the ship, and swam as far away as they could before Zelsa did what he was going to do.
"TYRANITAR, HYPER BEAM!" shouted Zelsa. His Tyranitar opened its mouth and a beam of orange and yellow light poured from it and collided with professor Birch's ship, causing a massive explosion that sent humongous waves out in all directions. Professor Birch and his crew watched their flaming ship sink down to the bottom of the sea.
"good job Tyranitar, now return."
The Tyranitar jumped back in its ball. Zelsa opened the hatch of his submarine, and jumped inside.
"set a course for Mossdeep, the prize we seek is somewhere on that island"
The submarine sank down until it was completely submerged, and slowly made its why to Mossdeep.
