Edd vs Roark
As the Eds waited for Roark to return from the Pokemon Center, Edd decided to spend a little more time with his Pokemon.
"Hello, my friends. We're going to have our biggest battle so far coming up, so I just want to say that I'll do my best to lead you all to victory. I also believe that you will all do your best as well. We haven't been together very long, but I hope we go far in our journey together." said Edd. His Pokemon look at him with adoration in their eyes at his kindness towards them. Edd spent three hours relaxing and bonding with his Pokemon before Roark came back.
"Hello, Edd. Sorry it took so long to get my Pokemon healed." said Roark.
"That's okay, sir. It gave me more time to bond with my Pokemon and go over strategies I can use in our battle." said Edd.
"A wise decision, young man. Shall we get started?" said Roark.
"Yes, sir." said Edd. They both entered the gym and step out onto the battlefield. Ed and Eddy were in the bleachers, waiting for the match to start. Ed was admiring his new Coal Badge, while Eddy looked at Ed with envy.
"Man, I can't wait for my match, so I can get a badge and pokedollars. Ed got more money from Roark than we did from other trainers. Gym leaders must have lots of money." said Eddy.
"Look, Eddy. It's Double-D." said Ed excitedly, pointing out onto the field.
"I can see that, Ed. I'm not blind." said Eddy. Edd and Roark go on opposite sides of the field and stand ready. The referee steps onto the center of the field.
"This is a match between the gym leader, Roark; and the challenger, Edd. Each side will battle until either trainer Pokemon are all unable to battle. Let the battle begin." said the referee. He steps off the field and Roark and Edd each pull out a pokeball.
"Geodude, I choose you." says Roark as he throws a pokeball. It opens, letting out Geodude.
"Geo." says Geodude.
"Budew, I choose you." says Edd as he throws his pokeball, releasing Budew.
"Budew." says Budew.
"All right, Budew. Use Worry Seed. says Edd. Budew shoots out a seed that hits Geodude. Geodude suddenly looked nervous.
"What was that about?" asked Roark.
"You see. I'm not sure whether or not you have more than one Geodude at your disposal. In case that's a different Geodude and it has the Sturdy ability, Worry Seed will change Geodude's ability to Insomnia; an ability that prevents it from sleeping. That way, if it has the Sturdy ability, it won't work now." said Edd.
"Impressive planning." says Roark. "But it'll take more than that to stop us. Okay, Geodude. Use Rollout." says Roark. Geodude rolls into a ball and rolls at Budew, slamming into it.
"Budew!" screams Budew in pain.
"Oh, dear. I know about that attack. It's power double each time it's used in a row." says Edd.
"You know your stuff, young man." says Roark.
"Knowledge is very important in lots of things; including Pokemon battles. Okay, Budew. Use Absorb before it uses Rollout again." says Edd. Budew releases an Absorb attack, which hits Geodude, causing a lot of damage, and restoring a decent amount of stamina to Budew. Also, it did enough damage to knock out Geodude.
"Budew!" says Budew as he looks back at Edd, happily bouncing up and down.
"That seemed like a critical hit. Did you do that for me?" asked Edd.
"Budew!" Budew happily says.
"What's a critical hit?" asked Eddy from the bleachers.
"You see, Eddy. There's a chance that an attack will do more damage than it would have normally done. That's a critical hit." explained Edd.
"Geodude is unable to battle. Budew is the winner." says the referee
"Good work, Budew." says Edd.
"Budew." replies Budew. Roark returns Geodude to its pokeball.
"You take a good long rest, Geodude." says Roark. He pulls out another pokeball. "Okay, Onix. Come on out." says Roark as he throws the pokeball, releasing Onix.
"Onix!" Onix roars.
"Okay, Onix. Use Bind." says Roark. Onix wraps itself around Budew and squeezes it.
"Budew!" screams Budew.
"Quick, Budew. Use Stun Spore." says Edd. Budew releases yellow pollen out of her body, coating Onix with it. Onix suddenly started twitching.
"Onix!" yells Onix.
"What was that?" asked Eddy.
"That was Stun Spore, Eddy. It can cause paralysis to an opposing Pokemon, reducing its speed, and also making it that there's a chance it won't attack." explained Edd. Edd looks back at Budew. "Budew! Use Absorb!" says Edd. Budew hits Onix with an Absorb attack, doing damage to it and healing Budew some more.
"Hurry, Onix. Use Tackle on Budew." says Roark. But paralysis kicks in, preventing Onix from attacking.
"Budew! Use Absorb once more." says Edd. Budew hits Onix with another Absorb attack, this time knocking it out.
"Onix is unable to battle. Budew wins." says the referee.
"That's two down. Keep it up, sockhead." cheers Eddy from the bleachers. Edd looks at Budew. Deciding she's battled enough, Edd decides to return her to her pokeball.
"Budew. Return." says Edd. "You did astounding, Budew. Take a break." Edd puts Budew's pokeball in his pocket and pulls out another one. "PIplup, I choose you." says Edd as he throws Piplup's pokeball, releasing him.
"Piplup." says Piplup. Roark pulls out his last pokeball.
"Time to turn this around. Cranidos, I choose you." says Roark as he throws the pokeball, releasing Cranidos.
"Cranidos!" Cranidos roars.
"Piplup. Use Growl." says Edd. Piplup growls at Cranidos, lowering its attack power.
"Cranidos. Use Headbutt." says Roark. Cranidos charges at Piplup and slams its head into Piplup, knocking it back.
"Piplup!" yells Piplup. Fortunately, thanks to Piplup's Growl attack, the Headbutt didn't do too much damage.
"Piplup! Use Water Gun!" says Edd. Piplup releases a large spray of water out of his mouth, hitting Cranidos, doing super-effective damage to it. "Good thing rock-type Pokemon are especially vulnerable to water-type attacks."
"This isn't over yet. Use Headbutt again!" says Roark. Cranidos charges at Piplup and hits him again.
"Piplup." Piplup says as he struggle to stand up.
"Are you okay, Piplup?" asked Edd. A blue aura suddenly surrounds Piplup. "That must be Piplup's Torrent ability. Now's my chance to finish this battle. Piplup! Use Water Gun one more time." says Edd. Piplup releases a powered-up Water Gun and hits Cranidos with enough force to send it flying and slams against a wall hard enough to embed Cranidos into it. When the dust cleared, They saw that Cranidos was knocked out.
"Cranidos is unable to battle. The winner of the battle is the challenger, Edd." said the referee.
"Double-D won!" Ed cheers.
"Way to go, sockhead." says Eddy. Piplup runs up to Edd and hugs his leg. Edd pats Piplup's head. Deciding to let Budew join the celebration, Edd releases her from her pokeball. Budew runs up to Edd's other leg and nuzzles it.
"I'm so proud of both of you. You battled marvelously" says Edd. Both Pokemon looked up at Edd and smiled. Suddenly, they both froze up and started to glow. "Oh my. They're both evolving." Both of them soon stopped glowing, showing they both changed. Piplup was taller, had two crests on his head which reach his beak, most of his upper body was dark blue, and his lower half was light blue with four white spots on his lower torso.
"Prinplup." the newly-evolved Prinplup said. Edd pulls out the pokedex and points it at Prinplup.
Prinplup, the Penguin Pokemon, and the evolved form of Piplup. Its wings deliver wicked blows that snap even the thickest of trees. It searches for prey in icy seas." said the pokedex. Edd looks over at his newly-evolved Budew; who now had slender arms and pointy legs, a green leaf covering both sides of her body like a poncho, the top of her head resembled something like a green crown, and on the end of each of her arms was a rose; one red and one blue.
"Roselia" says the newly-evolved Roselia. Edd points the pokedex at Roselia.
"Roselia, the Thorn Pokemon, and the evolved form of Budew. The beautiful flowers on its arms have toxic thorns. Don't even think about picking those flowers." said the pokedex.
"Incredible. It looks like each of you learned a new attack. Prinplup now knows Peck and Metal Claw, and Roselia now knows Poison Sting." says Edd. Ed and Eddy run up to Edd.
"You did it, Double-D." said Ed as he hugged Edd tightly. Edd started to turn blue.
"Ed...Can't...breathe." says Edd. Ed releases him.
"Good work, Double-D." says Eddy as he pats Edd's back. Roark walks up to him.
"This has been an eventful battle. Two evolutions at once. As the victor, you have earned this Coal Badge." says Roark as he hands Edd the Coal Badge and some pokedollars.
"Thank you, Mr. Roark." says Edd. Edd puts the Coal Badge in his badge case and the pokedollars in his pocket. Eddy walks up to Roark and looks up at him.
"Looks like it's my turn now." says Eddy.
"We will have our battle soon. But first, I must get my Pokemon healed." said Roark.
"I'll be waiting right here." said Eddy. Roark exits the gym.
"Are you ready for your battle, Eddy?" asked Ed.
"I sure am, lumpy. Just you wait and see." said Eddy.
"Don't be too overconfident, Eddy." said Edd.
"Yeah, yeah." says Eddy.
