Chapter nineteen: Richan to the Rescue
'Onia! Enough of your daydreaming and help us!' That shout from Toby was enough top snap Onia back to reality. Toby was facing another hovering beedrill, trying to pin it down with his attacks.
Sapphire was having it worse. She was battling a seviper, and since she was wounded pretty badly, it gave it an advantage. As soon as it knew that Sapphire had dropped her guard, it lunged at her, mouth wide open in hopes of biting her. Luckily, Sapphire jumped, but yet unfortunately it got her on her front left leg. It's jaws clamped on tight on Sapphire's flesh. Now that it knows that it had immobilized Sapphire, it dropped a heavy dose of venom for it's poison fang attack.
The venom made her a bit drowzy, but at the same time, she saw a chance to attack as well. She raised her free paw, which the effort almost made her pass out, and slashed at the seviper with her full might. Her claws got in deep into the seviper's flesh, just deep enough to make it bleed heavily.
Soon the ground area that the both of them are in are splattered by a purple-ish red blood. The seviper's jaws lost strength the more it bled. Soon it just had to let loose on Sapphire's leg. It's long body dropped on the ground, lifeless.
When an arbok rosed and was preparing itself to attack Onia, a small cloud of dust appeared, but this time, no new pokemon came to fight. As soon as the miniature cloud of dust disappeared, Onia saw that it was Beai, dusting herself from the fall.
'Hey Beai!' Onia called out, waving her leaves high up in the air hoping to catch Beai's attention. Onia raced to meet the little flower pokemon, but the arbok rosed, throwing Beai to the side.
'Foolish girl! What is the meaning of using me as a cusion to soften your fall? I am no pillow!' It roared. Beai was getting up before it lunged at Onia. It's fangs out like sharp daggers, ready to hack, stab and kill.
Beai managed to get up, and positioned herself for a twirl. As soon as the fangs of the arbok are near Onia, she spun herself. As she spun faster, small elegant petals filled the air. It was her petal dance technique. The petals flew to the arbok and it enveloped it's whole body.
All the petals, looking small, safe and smooth, stung as it clung to the arboks body, almost immobilizing it.
Onia looked at Beai with a relieve and yet jealous face. The petal dance was beautiful even to the mere pokemon eye.
Little did Beai know, an ivysaur was launching an attack behind her. It stood up, and jumped. It's heavy body added a bit of speed to it's attack, but a whizzing sound pased Beai's ear. It turned to be a long thin needle, white with a bit of a lavendar-ish glow.
A poison sting? Beai thought. She turned, and saw that the poison sting had puntured the ivysaur in it's abdomen. Not being able to complete it's attack, it fell over on it's magenta bud. Impossible! That's one of Richan's moves! Don't tell me, he's near?
She then turned and saw a rustling bush, shaking wildly. She raced towards the bush, and brushed at it with her hands. She saw a familiar roselia in a battle pose. 'Richan?'
'Hey Beai, it's been a while hasn't it?' The roselia flashed a smile, a signature smile is more like it.
'Richan...? Is that really you...?' was all Beai managed to get out due to total surprise. A tear was now a bit visible in her eye.
'Yes, it's me. Sorry about what I said earlier.' Richan's smile then faded and was replaced by a face of guilt. He looked down to the ground, not wanting to see beai's face, like a little boy who had did someting bad and would not confront his mother.
Hearing the words I'm sorry brought sudden tears to her eyes. She smiled, small, but it soon widend a bit.
Little did Beai know that the ivysaur from before rosed to it's feet. 'Sorry to break up the little reunion between you two, but I'm still here, I am not dead yet!' It rammed at Beai's abdomen, causing her to cough up blood. The blood splattered on the ground like water on concrete. Beai was half-consious when the attack finished. She was fighting for breath.
Richan's eyes widened at the sight. Surprised at how fast it had happened, and what was happening. Soon chill winds began to pick up. Knowing that it's his que to look up, He stared into the sky. A familiar blue glow caught his eye.
As soon as it landed, it was a pokemon that was quite familiar. 'Tolea! It's you!' Richan called out, wide-eyed and surprised. The rikkaenzeru was back, helping then with the poison part of the whole battle.
She didn't say anything, and went up to the ivysaur. It stared at it with winter cold azure eyes. The ivysaur flinched and said, 'so? Why am I being afraid of you?'
'Because you should. Leave or perish, your choice.'
'I'd rather fight than run away like a little baby.' it replied back sharply, it's eyes starting to narrow.
'Fine, it's your choice anyway, and you picked a bad one.' Was all Tolea said as she arched her body for an attack. The ruby on her forehead glowed a brilliant garnet, and her wings wide and spreaded out.
Soon chill winds started to pick up as the ruby glowed. A multi-colored beam came out of the ruby and so did a blue aurora. The blue aurora surrounded the multi-colored beam, forming a even powerful beam.
The moment it hit the ivysaur, it had passed out. It was a poison/grass combo so it was super effective, Tolea's move.
'Well, that was kinda' fast,' Tolea said, closing her eyes. The rikkaenzeru was tired out from using such a technique. I wonder how Toby's doing...
