It really has been a while since working on this, right? Welp, summer is almost over, so we gotta make last. Also, I know a lot of PBB fans miss this game when it got shut down. With that out of the way, let's begin! :)
The gym in Brimber City is closed. The Gym Leader told Sonic and I that Team Eclipse stole the Red Orb. So you know what? Without many more interruptions, we are going to Route 6 and stopping Team Eclipse for succeeding in their devious plan.
"Let's go, Sonic." I said.
"Okay." Sonic replied. And we make our way to Route 6. What could we expect later on when we get there?
This next Route kinda looks like Route 5. Once again, there are only two ways to go. Hmm, which one shall we go in this time?
"I'm suggesting we go left since there are torches by the wall." I said.
"Good idea, Nifty." Sonic responded. And we see a small patch of tall grass ahead as well. But of course, we encounter another trainer. These guys sure like to battle.
"If your Pokémon get burned by a Fire type Pokémon, your physical attack power will be cut in half. I need to remember to pick up some Burn Heals when I'm in town again." The trainer said.
"Well, I do have one, so... would mine count?" I asked. Still, I KNOW all this. I ain't no procrastinator.
"Go, Venonat!" The Bug catcher shouted, sending out his only Pokémon. Venonat is all you have? Okay, whatever. I'll defeat you pretty easily.
"Go, Charmeleon. You got this." I said. I sent out my Fire type starter. He literally gave me a hint of what he's afraid of for his Pokémon: fire.
"Use Ember!" I commanded. Smack! Super effective! But what? It's not down?! That is one bulky Venonat.
Wait a minute... FREAKING HELL! I got lucky.
Venonat is burned. How can I tell? It's outlined in a bright red, so it's taking damage periodically.
"Quick! Venonat, use Confusion!" My opponent screamed. Venonat's eyes turn a light blue and lifts Charmeleon up in the air, but then...
It let go and Charmeleon was put back down gently. Venonat just fainted from the burn. Yeah, definitely luck.
"I'm gonna need a Burn Heal because I just got roasted." The bug catcher said.
"Good idea." I replied.
Well, that wasn't too bad. Give me a challenge next time, aight?
Tall grass shouldn't be enough of a problem. I actually purchased a couple Great Balls right before I left to the next Route. After all, I'll need a good team in order to stop Team Eclipse. As I began walking along the tall grass...
"Rhy!" A Pokémon shouted. Ooh, it's a Rhyhorn!
"Oh, I'm so gonna catch you. Go Nidorino!" I yelled as I sent out my Pokémon. It's perfect as well. Simply put, I don't wanna use Frogadier since he can accidentally defeat the Rhyhorn, and I don't wanna use Charmeleon since he is weak to Rock and Ground type moves.
"Nidorino, use Poison Sting!" I shouted. Rhyhorn gets hit by the attack. Not very effective, very little damage. I gotta make sure I don't defeat it, but I'll lower its HP enough so I can catch it.
Rhyhorn runs towards Nidorino and attacks it with his horn. Horn Attack! Not bad for a level 10. I always make sure I check the levels of my Pokémon.
"Good job! Now use Peck!" I exclaimed. Nidorino attacks with its horn soon after, it did a couple more greater damage. Rhyhorn begins to attack again. This time, it's Fury Attack.
"Dodge it, and then use Double Kick!" I screamed. Look at that, two of that one attack, and Rhyhorn is struggling to get up. Yes, this is my chance! Don't run on me now!
"Go Great Ball!" I yelled as I threw the ball. Rhyhorn gets sucked in. Now we gotta wait for if he'll escape it.
One shake...
Two shakes...
Three...
Click!
Yes! Another member on my team!
"Alright! I caught a Rhyhorn!" I shouted, and my Nidorino cheers with me.
"Good job, Nifty!" Sonic said.
"Thanks. I guess I'll have him do the next trainer battle. He'll help me with defeating Team Eclipse, just like the rest of us." I replied. This time, we see a female with a gray shirt and a pink sweatshirt and jeans ahead of us. Perfect. This'll be a chance to try out my new Pokémon.
"I heard the volcano here hasn't erupted in a long time. Supposedly, there's an incredible Pokémon asleep in the volcano that could make it erupt. That's just a story my grandpa used to tell me." She said.
"I did hear that a couple times." I replied.
"Enough stories though. Let's battle." The girl continued.
"Come on and get him, Ponyta!" The lass shouted, sending out her first Pokémon. Perfect! I'll have the advantage.
"Go, Rhyhorn!" I shouted, sending out my new Pokémon. Let's see how this guy does in battle.
"Use Flame Wheel!" My opponent yelled. Ponyta curls itself up into a ball and starts surrounding itself with fire, and charges right at Rhyhorn.
"Dodge!" I exclaimed. Perfect timing, Rhyhorn dodges the attack.
"Now, use Horn Attack!" I commanded. Rhyhorn charges full speed, attacking Ponyta with its small but deadly horn. Awesome.
"Ugh, use Ember!" The lass yelled. Ponyta shoots out a small flame.
However, I let Rhyhorn take the hit. He doesn't even look hurt from the attack.
"You get my cool strategy now, Rhyhorn?" I ask. My Pokémon looks at me and nods. I guess Pokémon love me, because this guy already trusts me.
"Rhyhorn, use Fury Attack!" I screamed. Rhyhorn attacks Ponyta multiple times. 5 times exactly. Holy crap! That was lucky! Ponyta is down. That was an easy battle, but this girl has one more Pokémon.
"Go, Teddiursa!" She yelled, sending out her last Pokémon. I look at my Pokédex, and it seems like Rhyhorn has already learned a new move. That's a lot of dang EXP! I guess maybe it's the trust, I don't know.
"Okay, try it out. Use Smack Down!" I shouted. Rhyhorn sends out a small rock, and once it hits Teddiursa, the rock smashes it onto the ground. Neat.
"Use Scratch!" The lass exclaimed.
"Counter with Horn Attack!" I shouted. Teddiursa didn't get to attack. Rhyhorn was too powerful for such a move. Yep, Team Eclipse is so done for. Anyway, Teddiursa is down. Once again, I won this battle.
"I'm not telling anyone about the story of our fight." The girl whined.
"You don't have to." I suggested.
Easy much? Ugh. At least I'm gaining some progress. Moving on. Sonic and I get through a couple more patches of tall grass. No wild Pokémon attacked us, so that's good. Looks like we see another trainer dressed in blue up ahead.
"Sonic, would you like to do this?" I asked.
"Sure." Sonic replied. As we walk forward, the blue guy notices us.
"I heard there are some rare Pokémon ahead in the cave. My only problem is that I'm terrified of caves. Can I see your Pokémon instead?" He asked. Dude, the way you just said that. If that was me there, how exactly would I tell if you're a Team Eclipse member in DISGUISE?
"You'll get to see them in battle." Sonic responded.
I really hope this guy ain't in disguise...
"Go, Zubat!" The blue trainer shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. He has 3. Shouldn't be that hard.
"Come out, Rockruff!" Sonic shouted, sending out his Pokémon. Good things you have the advantage. It's always good to have that.
"Rockruff, use Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed. Zubat takes the attack of the many small rocks. Lots of damage! Not enough to take him down though.
"Zubat, use Leech Life!" The opponent yelled. Zubat approaches Rockruff with sharp teeth.
"Counter with Sand Attack!" Sonic commanded. Rockruff throws sand, and Zubat stops its attack.
"Now use Bite." Sonic continued. WHAM! Right on the head! Zubat is down.
"Go on, my second Zubat!" The blue guy shouted, sending out his second Pokémon. Really? Zubat ain't the best Pokémon, but at least its final evolution is cool.
"Ugh... use Rock Throw." Sonic said bluntly. Unlike the last time, this Zubat goes down in one hit. Rockruff's throws are getting much faster, so Zubat couldn't really dodge even if it tried.
"Patrat! You're up!" Sonic's opponent shouted, sending out his last Pokémon. Still not good enough though...
"Rockruff, return." Sonic said, sending Rockruff back.
"You sure, Sonic?" I asked.
"Yes, I want to give Popplio a chance as well." Sonic replied. And just after he said that, Popplio comes out. Looks like someone wants to impress again.
"Popplio, use Water Gun!" Sonic shouted. Another jet stream of water, and Patrat is almost down. Nice job, Sonic. For some reason, the opposing trainer didn't say to attack yet. Why?
"If the opponent ain't gonna attack, we'll take it from here! Use Aqua Jet!" Sonic exclaimed. Popplio surrounds itself with water again, and at full force, charges right at Patrat.
"Use Bide!" The blue guy yelled. Oh, so that's why he didn't attack! For Patrat to use Bide and take the hit.
"UNLEASH!" Blue person screamed.
"Quick, block it with Icy Wind!" Sonic shouted in a worried tone. Just in time, Popplio freezes Patrat with its ice attack.
"Yes! You did it, Popplio! Now let's finish it!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Pop!" The sea lion barked happily. Then it glows. Yes, another evolution! Now, the newly evolved Popplio has a lighter blue skin, and its ears grew bigger with a white round tip at the end. It also grew much bigger, and has some kind of dress around it as well as its tail growing larger.
Brionne.
Awesome evolution.
"Yay! Now, Brionne, use Disarming Voice!" Sonic yelled. Once Patrat gets free from the ice, Brionne yells its heart beam to defeat her opponent. Yeah! Nice job, Sonic! That's why evolution is so freaking cool!
"Wow, your Pokémon are really nice." The blue student complimented. Ok, that's some proof. I guess I'll let the disguise thing go.
"Why, thank you!" Sonic said.
It's up ahead. The entrance to Mt. Igneus.
"Yep, we're going in." I said. But just before we could go in...
"Stop right there, fools!" A man shouted. This man had black hair and some kind of orange and black uniform with a moon on the middle, like during some kind of solar or lunar eclipse. Wait...
Is this a member of Team Eclipse?!
"Why stop?" I asked coldly.
"Nobody's allowed to go past here. Team Eclipse will not allow intruders." The man replied. Plus, this dude does not look happy.
"Oh Arceus..." I groaned as I rolled my eyes.
"What, you two won't leave?" The rude guy asked.
"Of course not! I'm not gonna listen to a single word you say!" I yelled.
"Then I guess we're going to have to battle." The Eclipse Grunt continued.
"Wait!" Sonic exclaimed.
"What's up, dude?" I asked.
"Let me help on this battle. I don't wanna leave you left out against Team Eclipse." Sonic responded.
"Oh, so you wanna make this a double battle? Very well then!" The Eclipse member said.
"You're going down!" I threatened.
Ok, here goes. My first battle against an Eclipse member... besides Linda. WHY THE FREAK DID I MENTION HER NAME.
"Come on out, my Pokémon!" The Eclipse Grunt shouted. His two Pokémon were a Poochyena and a Zubat. Oh, you're so dead. Sonic and I will defeat you easily.
"Go!" Both of us shouted in unison. I sent out Rhyhorn and Sonic sent out his newly evolved Brionne.
"Zubat, use Leech Life on Rhyhorn! Poochyena, use Tackle on Brionne!" The Eclipse Grunt yelled. When Zubat attacks, Rhyhorn just pushes him out of the way. Basically my new Rock and Ground type Pokémon is disappointed by the weak skill of the Zubat.
Brionne actually went flying a little, but it didn't take any damage when it landed, since it did a twirl and landed on her feet, showing off against the Eclipse Grunt.
"Rhyhorn, use Smack Down on Zubat!" I commanded.
"Brionne, use Aqua Jet on Poochyena!" Sonic shouted. Rhyhorn easily lands his attack. Zubat was too easy to defeat.
Somehow, the Poochyena was still alive from the attack. Eh, we still got this.
"Grr... use Bite on Brionne!" The Eclipse member screamed. The tiny wolf begins to approach...
"Horn Attack." I said bluntly. Shablam! Poochyena didn't see it coming. Nice try, Team Eclipse. You got no match against us.
"This isn't good. Don't try anything funny!" The Eclipse Grunt threatened.
I just shrugged and Sonic laughed with me.
Even after the Eclipse Grunt lost, he blocks the entrance. Coward!
"What are you doing?!" I screamed.
"I'm still not letting you in. I cannot let you idiots ruin our plan." The evil team member replied.
"You..." Sonic said. I put my hand in front of my friend, telling him to let me handle it.
I approach the Eclipse Grunt with a blunt look, and then I give him a fake surprised look.
"*gasp*, There's something on your face!" I said with a fake surprised accent. I slap the Eclipse Grunt the hardest I can, making him fall to the floor.
"IT WAS PAIN!" I continued with an evil smirk (Do you get the reference?). Sonic looked at me confused, and a bit scared at the same time.
"What?" I said.
"Why did you do that?" Sonic asked.
"He still didn't give in, I had no other choice." I replied. I'll admit something. I'm usually a pretty relaxed guy, but once someone gets on my nerves, they won't like what happens next. Sonic still stares at me. I give up...
"Whatever. Let's just go in." I said, and then I enter the volcano, with Sonic following behind me.
Out of all the things I wanted to do in my life, entering a volcano was NOT one of them. Still, the inside of Mt. Igneus looks pretty cool. And dark.
The wild Pokémon here are all Fire types. Not that I would care though.
"So, it does look like Team Eclipse would do something here." Sonic said.
"Indeed. Let's make sure we get the Red Orb back before it's too late." I responded. As we kept walking along, minding our own business, we encounter another Team Eclipse Grunt. Same look as the last one.
"Hey, how did you get past the guard outside?" He asked.
"By slapping him." I replied bluntly. Sonic was still confused on why I did that earlier. Dude, I had no other choice!
"You know, it really doesn't surprise me. He was weak in my opinion." The Grunt said. Oh yeah? Name one person who you know got slapped by someone before in their life. Tell me now.
"All donations go to Team Valor. Sign up now." I teased. Still, I want to see if my wish can come true.
"You will not beat me, though." The Eclipse Grunt warned.
"Correction: We will beat you though." I said, smirking. I look at Sonic, and he nods at me. It's on, Team Eclipse.
Let's do this.
"Go Slugma!" My Eclipse opponent shouted, sending out his (only?) Pokémon. Really, dude? Slugma is all you have? Ugh, I'll have to make this a single battle then. Already, this member is lame.
"Since he only has one, let me handle it, Sonic." I said.
"Okay, Nifty. Good luck." Sonic replied. Now the battle REALLY begins.
"Come out, Frogadier!" I shouted, sending out my starter. I'll let Rhyhorn have another chance. I'll make this fast.
"Water Pulse." I said. Nice try. Slugma is already almost down. Hmph, it's confused as well.
"Slugma, attack!" The Eclipse Grunt commanded. Slugma ended up hitting himself and fainted. Wow. You were easier than the last guy. You're more lame. No, BOTH of you are really lame.
"Wow, you suck." I responded.
"What happened? My Pokémon must not be having a good day." The Grunt confessed. No, it's because you suck. One Pokémon? Ha! Gimme a break...
Team Eclipse ain't really impressive. So far, they're just... not so good at battling. I mean that was said with a lot of seriousness.
I wonder who is next to battle me? More likely they would get rekt. Sonic and I see a lava pool up ahead, and there's a slope that goes upward. Look, another Eclipse Grunt by the start of the slope! He wears some kind of workers hat on his head, so his hair doesn't show. Ok, let's get this over with.
"I was told to wait here and escort out any intruders." He said as he pointed at us.
"We made it this far. Don't make me laugh." I said sarcastically.
"If you won't leave on your own, then I will have to force you out after I beat you in a battle." The Eclipse Grunt shouted.
"Let's get him, Sonic." I said.
Don't try to impress me or anything like that. I'm just saying.
"GO!" The Grunt shouted, sending out two Pokémon. The two Pokémon turned out to be a (yet another) Zubat and a Grimer. Two Poison types. Yeah, this will be easy. This Grunt should've seen the Pokémon I caught earlier.
"Go, Rhyhorn!" I shouted.
"Let's go, Rockruff!" Sonic shouted, both of us sending out our Pokémon. Okay, we both have Rock types on our team. Get ready, Team Eclipse. Even further on you will be defeated easily.
"Zubat, use Wing Attack! Grimer, use Sludge!" Eclipse Grunt yelled. You still didn't pick a target, dude. But it looks like Zubat is heading for my Rhyhorn while Grimer attacks Rockruff.
"Rhyhorn, use Stomp." I said. Rhyhorn jumps in the air to avoid the attack, and drops down, stomping right on Zubat. Wow, it's already down. I guess considering Rhyhorn's weight and Zubat's size, I could see why. Meanwhile...
"Counter with Rock Throw!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff grows its rock bunch, and it destroys the poison attack.
"Great job! Now use Bite!" Sonic continued. Nearly down! Awesome job!
"Wanna end it with a combo?" I asked.
"Sure." Sonic replied. Get ready. For a Rock move combo attack! The Team Eclipse Grunt looks worried, as if he doesn't know what to do next.
"Rockruff, use Rock Throw again!" Sonic screamed. The rocks get closer...
"Now Rhyhorn! Use Smack Down to speed up and power the move!" I added. Rhyhorn sends its own big rock, and just like that, Grimer is down.
"Would you two leave if I asked you nicely?" The Eclipse Grunt asked.
"No. Not even close." I replied.
We must be getting close to wherever this plan is taking place. Walking along this path, and we see some kind of tunnel on the right. I look closer, and it looks like we need a certain move in order to get farther into it. Anyway... another Eclipse Grunt stands in our way.
"Let's go, Sonic." I said, and my friend nods with me. Speaking of, where is Jake? He said he'd meet with us by now! Eh, we still got this. We made it this far.
The Grunt spots us.
"Team Eclipse will achieve its goal!" He yelled.
"Yeah, no." I said.
"We will not allow brats like you to get in our way." The Grunt continued.
"We're gonna stop you." Sonic responded.
"Prepare to be driven out!" Eclipse member shouted. Good luck, you'll need it.
Let's see who this guy has.
"Go Ekans!" He shouted, sending out his (once again only?) Pokémon. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! Oh my Arceus. Team Eclipse, please tell some of your Grunts to have more than one Pokémon. Please.
"Sonic, you wanna get this guy?" I asked.
"Leave it to me." Sonic responded. I would go ahead to use Rhyhorn, but he doesn't know a Ground type move yet.
"Let's go, Brionne!" Sonic yelled, sending out his Water type. Go get em!
"Use Aqua Jet!" Sonic continued. Brionne, full speed attack right at Ekans. Excellent! That was impressive.
"Ekans, use Wrap!" The Eclipse member shouted. Ekans slithers over to Brionne.
"Quick, use Icy Wind!" Sonic screamed. Luckily, Ekans gets frozen in time from the attack.
"Great, now use Water Gun!" Sonic added. And from that water beam... yep, it's over. Eclipse idiot...
"I am just a pawn in Team Eclipse's grand scheme." The Grunt confessed. No wonder you're a Grunt.
"We will prevail in the end." The guy continued.
"No, because we're going to stop you." I teased.
Almost there! I wonder how far we are? Close, because I can see another tunnel, and another Eclipse Grunt with black hair is by it. We defeat this guy, we'll stop their plan.
"Our plan is almost in effect now. I'm afraid you will miss the show after I beat you in a battle." He warned.
"Let's find out, shall we?" I wondered.
Okay, I hope this guy doesn't only have one. All these Grunts are lame. Our current Eclipse Grunt is ready, but what will his Pokémon be?
"STOP THESE FOOLS!" He screamed, sending out two of three Pokémon. I checked my Pokédex, don't worry. Let's see who these two are. Two Numels?! Oh. My. Freaking. Arceus. You're so dead.
"Counter him, Frogadier!" I shouted, sending out my starter.
"Help out, Brionne!" Sonic shouted, sending out his Pokémon.
"Numels! ATTAAAAAACK!" The Grunt screamed. The two just run up to us.
"Water Pulse." I said bluntly.
"Water Gun." Sonic added. Bam. Two water attacks, and they're down. Yeah, none of you guys are good at battling! You should look at yourself, seriously.
"Crap. Go Zubat!" The Grunt exclaimed, sending out his last Pokémon. I looked at Sonic and nodded, aiming for another combo.
"Frogadier, use Water Pulse one more time!" I yelled.
"And Brionne, fill it up more with Water Gun!" Sonic shouted. Water Pulse is shot out, and Brionne makes it bigger with Water Gun.
"NO! Dodge it, Zubat!" The Eclipse Grunt exclaimed. Too late. Zubat is down, he got hit by the attack. You didn't stand a chance.
"Well, maybe you will get to witness our plan after all." Our Eclipse opponent said.
"And we will end it here." I said with a smirk.
We go inside the next entrance in the volcano, and we see something intense about to happen, I just know it. We climb over some kind of rock that is there for some reason, and we get closer to this "plan".
We see 3 Eclipse Grunts, and another one who might be an Eclipse Admin. This Admin had red, spiky hair, and some kind of red face mask to prevent his mouth from being seen. He had slightly different clothing from the Grunts, and of course, he does NOT look happy. Dang. Not only that, the Admin is by some kind of pedestal. What could it be used for?
"Oh, hello there. You two are just in time for the show." The Admin said.
"You idiot. You were part of kidnapping my parents. Give them back!" I shouted.
"What's this? You want your parents to be set free?" The Eclipse Admin mocks.
"Yes. What part did you not understand?" I asked.
"You must be the child of those two archaeologists we abducted back in Mitis Town." The Admin continued.
"Yes I am. Of course, you can know that I do look different than them. I guess it's maybe my hair..." I said as I smoothed my spiky hair. I always wondered, why is it always that color? However it was formed, I like it.
"Your parents have been rather difficult to work with. They were not cooperative at first," The Eclipse Admin explained, "It wasn't until after we threatened to harm their family that they gave in to our requests."
"You fool!" I exclaimed.
"They must have been afraid for you. They have every right to be," The Admin continued, "I'm afraid if you are here to stop us, then you are too late."
"And why is that?" Sonic asked.
"According to legend, I need only lay this orb on the pedestal behind me in order to awaken a powerful, sleeping Pokémon." The Eclipse Admin shouted, an evil chuckle afterwards.
"That's what the Gym Leader told me." I said.
"Why would you do such a thing?!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Why awaken such a beast you ask? That's for us to know. I'm afraid you two will not be privileged to find out the purposes to our actions at this time." The Admin said. There was awkward silence for a minute.
"By the power and strength of Team Valor... (even though I haven't join them yet)..., we will stop you!" I shouted, pointing at him.
"I grow weary of speaking to you, fool. It is time for me to carry out our plan!" The Eclipse Admin yelled.
"I will not allow that!" I continued.
"What?! You won't allow that? You fear for the town's safety, do you?" The red-haired man asked.
"If you awaken the beast, it will destroy maybe half of Roria. We will not let you do this!" Sonic protested.
"Well, if you're only here to get in my way, then I'm afraid that the only way to be rid of you is with a Pokémon battle," The Admin said, "I warn you though. I am one of Team Eclipse's Admins. I will not be defeated!"
"BRING IT ON!" I screamed.
"And I'll join in too!" Sonic exclaimed. The Admin is angry now. Perfect.
"You wanna do a double battle? Fine!" He exclaimed. He pointed to one of the Grunts.
"YOU! Join me on this fight!" The Eclipse Admin commanded.
"Of course, Admin Harry." The Grunt said, and reveals the Admin's name. Ok, here we go.
It's too late for turning back. Get ready, Eclipse Admin Harry. You're about to taste our wrath.
"Go, Honedge!" Harry shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. Woah! I heard the evolution for that Pokémon is really good! Not bad so far, but let's see what your Eclipse partner has.
"Houndour, get them!" The Eclipse Grunt shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. I'll accept it. At least it's not too repetitive like Zubat.
"Charmeleon!" I yelled. My Fire type comes out of his ball.
"Yeah! Let's go, Rockruff!" Sonic exclaimed. Look at that, both of our starters in this battle. Well... you already know I have 2 starters. Ehh...
"Charmeleon, use Ember on Honedge!" I shouted.
"Heh, not today. Use Pursuit!" Harry yelled. You really just tried to counter, didn't ya? Ooh, it's on now.
"Houndour, use Bite!" Harry's partner shouted.
"Rockruff, jump and then use Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed. It is a direct hit. Yeah, these guys are going down.
"Grr... don't expect you two to win that easily." Harry warned.
"That's what you think. Today changes. Charmeleon, use Dragon Rage!" I shouted. Now, I know my types and I know Dragon moves won't do much, but I have a plan.
"No, use Metal Sound!" Harry screamed. Honedge creates a screeching sound, making the move disintegrate. Perfect, this is my chance!
"Now use Ember!" I exclaimed. The next thing Honedge knew, it got hit with the fiery attack. One hit KO, sucker.
"Houndour, use Ember!" Eclipse Grunt by the Admin shouted.
"Rockruff, run to Houndour and use Bite!" Sonic yelled. Houndour shoots it fire attack, but Rockruff dodges. Bam, not very effective, but he's down. Team Eclipse, you stand no chance. You about to get rekt.
"Time for my next one. Go Vullaby!" Harry shouted, sending out his second Pokémon. Eh, at least its evolution is... good.
"Get em, Raticate!" The Eclipse Grunt shouted, sending out his next Pokémon. But when I take a look at it...
it's now brown like it normally is. It's black! I heard some Pokémon from the Kanto region change their form and type when on the Alolan Islands. How did this guy manage to get one that early? Eh, not that it matters. This is Team Eclipse we're talking about.
"Okay, switch out, Charmeleon." I said.
"Char." My Pokémon said, and runs back to my side unlike when I usually return him.
"Need that advantage, huh?" Sonic asked.
"We're not gonna let Team Eclipse win this round. Go Rhyhorn!" I yelled, and sent out my newest member.
"Oh, whatever. Advantages won't help you. We're one of the strongest organizations in the world!" Harry bragged.
"That's what you think. Wait till you see what's coming up for you next." I said with my usual smirk. Harry faced me with an angry look.
"No more of this crap! Vullaby, use Pluck!" Harry screamed. Vullaby raises itself into the air a bit, and its small beak grows bigger and glows white as it charges to Rhyhorn.
"Quick, use Horn Attack to counter it!" I yelled. Both attacks make their move, and Rhyhorn gains its advantage. After all, it's a Rock type. What did you expect?
"Raticate, use Hyper Fang!" The Grunt shouted.
"No, no. Rockruff, block him with Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed. But the attack didn't land. Raticate had enough speed to dodge it.
"Looks like the tables turned on you." Harry teased, and after he said that, Raticate lands its move. How dare you make fun of my friend like that! Team Eclipse. What a joke.
"Rockruff! Do you have enough strength to move on?" Sonic asked.
"Ruff Ruff!" Rockruff barked.
"And I guess I will go for this friend as well. Vullaby, set up with Nasty Plot!" Harry yelled. Vullaby begins thinking hardly, and thus raises its Special Attack a lot. But honestly... what's the point if your Pokémon is mostly a Physical attacker? Haven't thought about that, haven't you?
For an Admin, you're not the greatest. Seriously.
"Raticate, use Bite on Rhyhorn!" That Eclipse Grunt shouted. Oh, going for me this time I see? Okay, fine. Let me show you how it's done.
"Rhyhorn, use Fury Attack!" I yelled. You know what happens with big Pokémon, right? Compared to Rhyhorn, that Alolan Raticate made itself a bigger target. Now THAT'S how you battle.
"Grr... this guy ain't messing around." The Grunt exclaimed, not too happy about that.
"Don't give up just yet. There's a chance that he will still lose." Harry laughed. He said it out loud though.
"IDIOTS! I can hear everything you're saying!" I screamed.
"That's none of your business to eavesdrop! Vullaby, use Pluck!" Harry shouted.
"Rhyhorn, use Smack Down!" I yelled. Let's see how Vullaby can counter this rock attack.
Ha! Nope, as much as it would try.
"We will not let you win this fight!" Harry and the Eclipse Grunt shouted in unison.
"Are you done?" I asked. I can sense they had a plan, considering they looked at each other and nodded.
"Raticate, use Assurance on Vullaby!" Eclipse Grunt yelled. Raticate gets behind Vullaby and hits it, gaining it some speed as it charges towards Sonic's Rockruff.
"Now, Vullaby! Use Fury Attack!" Harry exclaimed.
"Sand Attack!" Sonic shouted worriedly. Luckily, Vullaby gets hit by the sand, its eyes stinging. Wait a minute...
Raticate charges towards Rockruff with its move it used earlier. Okay, looks like we're not the only ones who are confident in combo attacks. That Admin... I guess I could give him some credit. But they still kidnapped my parents! They are still bad!
"Ack! Rockruff, return!" Sonic shouted as he grabbed a Poke Ball.
"Raticate. Use Pursuit." The Eclipse Grunt said with a smirk. Before Sonic could switch out, Rockruff fainted by the attack. I don't blame. After all, Pursuit's damage doubles when the opponent is about to switch out.
After that was done, Sonic switched to his next Pokémon.
"Go Brionne!" He exclaimed. Brionne does a little pose before it gets into a battling format. Alright, let's go. We're gonna win this battle.
"End this turn with Disarming Voice!" Sonic yelled. This is one of those attacks that go for both opponents in double battles. Raticate didn't have enough time to dodge, but Vullaby did.
"Ha! You missed!" Harry mocked.
"Rhyhorn, use Smack Down." I said. And there we go. Finally this part is over. Thank Arceus...
"W-Well, joke's on you! We still have one more Pokémon!" Harry exclaimed.
"Yeah, what he said!" The Grunt added. Well, just show me who you two saved for last. I am partly curious.
"If you got one more, then show me." I said. Looks like I got this easily. These Team Eclipse people... they really don't know who I truly am.
"YOU ASKED FOR IT! Come on out, Lunatone!" Harry screamed. Okay, not bad. Now you're really living up to that team name. What about your partner, eh?
"You too, Watchog!" The Eclipse Grunt yelled. Okay, an okay Normal type... I guess. Okay, let's get this over with.
"Rhyhorn, return. And now... let's go, Frogadier!" I exclaimed as I sent out my next Pokémon and returned my last one used in this battle.
"Come on, Nifty! Let's show them how it's done!" Sonic said.
"You got it! Frogadier, use Water Pulse!" I commanded. Let's see how these guys counter THIS!
"Lunatone. Break it with Psywave." Harry responded. Lunatone's eyes glow and it sends out a massive, thin wave of psychic power, and dissolves the Water Pulse. Welp. I stand corrected.
"Brionne, Aqua Jet!" Sonic yelled. Brionne charges while surrounded in water...
"Watchog! Use Retaliate!" The Grunt shouted. Watchog interrupts the incoming attack with something so devastating and powerful. A physical attack I couldn't describe... it's madness!
"You two seem a bit tired from this battling. Allow me to make you fall asleep. Lunatone, use Hypnosis!" Harry exclaimed. Lunatone sends some kind of rings right at both of our Pokémon.
"Don't focus on it, guys. Frogadier, Quick Attack!" I yelled. Lunatone couldn't have anymore time to counter that. My Frogadier is just too fast. You better thank me, boi!
"Brionne, Water Gun on Watchog!" Sonic shouted. Watchog dodge the attack. For an okay Normal type, it sure does have pretty decent speed.
"Super Fang." The Eclipse Grunt said. Watchog's fangs grew and it charged right at Brionne.
"Quick, dodge it!" Sonic screamed. Too late. Brionne didn't dodge and it took a lot of damage. Super Fang is a really powerful attack, too! I have no words...
"We're not going to end this. Brionne use Aqua Jet!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Watchog, use Retaliate!" The Grunt shouted. And both attacks collide, but Watchog got the upper hand, so it knocked Brionne back with brute force.
"Lunatone, end this fool with Psywave!" Harry yelled. And Lunatone sends its massive psychic wave, and Brionne was struggling to get up. But as I looked closer...
Frogadier took the attack! It ran in front of Brionne and took the damage.
"Ha! Foolish fool. You oughta lose that battle after something like that!" Harry teased.
"No, you're wrong about that, Harry," I said with a smile, "You see, Sonic and I are friends. And friends stick up for each other. Even in tough situations."
"Grr... every word that comes out of your mouth makes me want to cringe even more." Harry exclaimed.
"Does it really? I appreciate it." I teased.
"I hate you." Harry said.
"Love you too, Eclipse idiot." I replied with a laugh.
"AAAAH! ENOUGH! I WILL FINISH YOU MYSELF! Lunatone, PSYWAVE!" Harry screamed.
"Frogadier, use Water Pulse!" I shouted. As Frogadier shoots his most powerful attack, it begins to absorb the Psywave. How long can it keep up.
"Brionne, can you get up?" Sonic asked. It accepts the request and nods. Once it stands up, it begins to use a new move. A big blue orb forms from its nose, and she shoots it right Where Frogadier's Water Pulse was. Wait a minute. That move that Brionne just used...
That is Water Pulse!
Both of the Water moves collide together, it grows bigger, and heads right towards Lunatone. By the time it got hit by the combined attack, it fainted. That's how it's done! Now we gotta deal with the Grunt.
"You'll go no further! Watchog, Super Fang!" He screamed. Gotta watch out for that powerful attack.
I look at Sonic, and we nod at each other.
"Brionne, use Water Pulse one more time!" Sonic yelled. T was a small one, but this was part of the plan. Watchog takes the attack, and rubs its eyes as it tries to get the water off.
"Now Frogadier, use Quick Attack and finish him!" I shouted. And there we go. For amazing speed, Watchog gets knocked over and faints.
"You little twerp..." Harry groaned.
"Who knew you could beat us..." The Grunt added quietly.
I gave Sonic a high five, we had just defeat one of Team Eclipse's Admins. We gotta feel proud about that.
"You did awesome, Sonic! We showed them what for!" I cheered.
"Yes we did! That was a close battle, I didn't know what we could expect." Sonic said. And now we hear Harry talk now. Great...
"Well, it seems you two are quite strong for such new trainers." He complimented.
"I can accept that from you." I said.
"No matter, I have come here to carry out a very important task." Harry said with a smirk, even though we couldn't see it. Ugh, I knew it! I knew these fools wouldn't listen!
"Of course you wanna do this..." Sonic responded.
"I will not let my leader down! Prepare yourselves for the awesome power within this volcano!" Harry screamed. And he put the Red Orb on the pedestal. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking. Oh Arceus...
The world around us turns a bright red, and we all look the lava beside us. A few seconds later, a Legendary Pokémon emerges. It was all red with some black markings around it. Sharp claws and teeth, a long tail, and it was HUGE.
It's the legendary Pokémon of land: Groudon.
I can't believe it! I am seeing Groudon right before my very eyes! I began to shout.
"Holy sh-!"
"Groudon, the giant sleeping within this volcano, has now awoken!" Harry screamed.
"What have you done?! You know what this will do, right?!" Sonic yelled.
"With his power, Team Eclipse will more fully be capable of carrying out its purposes!" Harry replied. Dude! You got it ALL wrong! It's not like they'll hear our words anyway...
"Fear this mighty Pokémon, foolish people, as I now manipulate Groudon to do our bidding!" Harry exclaimed.
"Do not do this! You are gonna get freaking destroyed!" I shouted.
"Shut up! Let the boss finish his work!" Another Grunt said. Harry walks up to the lava legendary.
"Groudon! It was I who woke you from your slumber! You will now help Team Eclipse fulfill its purpose! I command you now, Groudon, to follow my exact orders!" Harry commanded.
"Oh yeah? You do know who you were messing with, right? MORTAL FOOL!" Groudon screamed. He roars right in Harry's face, knocking his hair off. Sonic managed to chuckle by that, but I didn't because I was in FREAKING AWE FROM SEEING GROUDON, HOLY CRAP!
"Uh..." Harry whispered. He was now looking pretty terrified.
"What now, Admin?" The last three of the Grunts asked.
"EVERYBODY RUUUUUN!1!" Harry screamed, and he and the other Grunts ran away as fast as they could. I had no idea what to expect. Welp, we're dead.
I see the Brimber City Gym Leader walking to us. He must be here to stop this madness.
"The Gym Leader! What are you doing here?" Sonic asked. I snapped out of my trance and looked at them.
"I have to grab the Red Orb quick, before Groudon gets out of control!" The Gym Leader replied. He ran over to the pedestal and grabbed the Red Orb immediately.
"Groudon, please forgive us for disturbing your rest. We promise that we won't disturb you again. There is a village right outside this volcano with a lot of good people in it. If the volcano erupts, it could destroy the entire village and hurt many innocent people! Please accept this apology and we'll be on out way." The Gym Leader pleaded.
Groudon took at look at him, and then Sonic. Then he looked at me, but it was more towards my Bronze Brick necklace.
"Okay, I'll go back. But just once for you mortals." Groudon bellowed, and then sank back underneath the lava. Well, that was something awesome and terrifying at the same time. Everything is normal now. That's good.
"I'm actually kind of surprised that Groudon let us go that easily. For a second, I thought we might've been toast." The Gym Leader said.
"I was shocked as well, uh..." I started, but I stopped. Truth is the guy never told us his name.
"Sebastian. That's my name." The Brimber City Gym Leader continued for me. Okay, that's better.
"It was a close call." Sonic said.
"Did you see the way Groudon was looking at you though?" Sebastian said to me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It was as if he saw something in you." Sebastian replied. I realized what he was talking about.
"Now that you mention it, he was looking straight at my necklace." I said as I twirled it around a bit.
"Maybe that's why he just left like that." Sebastian wondered.
"I think that necklace might be something special than just a gift." Sonic responded.
"I have a feeling that we might see Groudon again someday." Sebastian said.
"I hope so. I never expected to meet a Legendary Pokémon in my whole life!" I exclaimed.
"Either way, you two did a good job showing Team Eclipse who's boss. I can let everyone back in town know that their homes are safe." Sebastian complimented. I nodded.
"It was pretty close, but we managed to win in the end." I said.
"Hey, you two should stop by my gym. I'd love to see how strong of a trainer you two are." Sebastian suggested.
"I was about to go there after this." I replied with a laugh.
"Alright, well, I better get going. I'll bee seeing you two soon, hopefully." Sebastian said, and then walks back to Brimber City. Sonic looks at me. I know what to expect.
"We should make our way back." I said
"Agreed." Sonic replied. And we walk back.
After we healed our Pokémon once we made it back to the city, we smiled.
"Let's battle the gym." I said.
"Yeah!" Sonic exclaimed. We walk to the entrance, and it was right by the volcano. Nice. But once we opened the door, and other slams open as a person walks out of it. Oh no...
It's Kevin.
"You?!" I shouted.
"Oh. It's you two again. I'm certain you and little friend here are here to challenge the Gym?" Kevin asked. I was about to speak, but Sonic interrupts.
"Yes, that's right! As you can see right here, Nifty and I have our first badge back at Silvent City!" Sonic said as he showed Kevin his badge case, which had our first Gym Badge inside.
"Well, I already have 2 badges. Looks like you're the ones who are slow." Kevin teased.
"You know well that we have just single handedly defeated Team Eclipse from awakening Groudon!" Sonic yelled. They did kinda succeed... but they failed since Groudon is smart, knowing who is chosen in his eyes.
"What's that going to accomplish? Just because you did that doesn't mean you're strong." Kevin said.
"Oh, we are strong! You just don't know that!" Sonic yelled.
"If you think you're so strong, then how about we battle? It's the only way." Kevin challenged.
"FINE! You're going down!" Sonic screamed.
"Welp... here we go again." I said with a facepalm.
They are gonna battle outside the Gym entrance. Sonic beat Kevin last time, so I know he can do this. What could go wrong?
"Come on out, Rockruff!" Sonic shouted. His first Pokémon for this battle. Good idea to show this idiot.
"Once again, you're starting with that weak Pokémon." Kevin mocked.
"You're wrong! Rockruff is one of my best partners!" Sonic exclaimed.
"No, people with Pokémon who can't do a thing are weak. You're weak." Kevin said. I hate this guy. I really do.
"Oh yeah? Well let's see another one of your Pokémon! Let's see what you can do!" Sonic yelled.
"Whatever you say. Go, Frillish." Kevin said bluntly, sending out his first Pokémon. Sonic might have the disadvantage, but he still has determination. As long as he believes.
"How about you make the first move? I want to see you try." Kevin insisted.
"Okay, I will! Rockruff, use Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Use Bubble Beam!" Kevin shouted. Well, that happened. As much as I would say that one attack would be stronger than the other...
it didn't. They collided.
"See what I mean? This is why I would suggest getting stronger Pokémon." Kevin said.
"I won't let that happen! Rockruff, use Bite!" Sonic yelled.
"Up in the air, Frillish." Kevin commanded. Frillish avoids the attack, and stays up there for a few seconds.
"Now use Ominous Wind!" Kevin exclaimed. Rockruff suddenly gets knocked back by some purple wind. Ooh, neither of these two are messing around.
"Don't let that stop you, Sonic! You need to counter and attack!" I shouted to my friend. Sonic looks at me and winks. I bet he has a plan.
"Frillish. Water Pulse!" Kevin yelled.
"Rockruff, dodge it and then use Bite!" Sonic shouted. From Kevin's eyes, he didn't really see Rockruff get hit by the attack. Now he got surprised once Frillish suddenly got hit by the sudden move. Awesome!
"Hmph... it seems like you're a bit prepared for this. Not that it matters." Kevin said.
"Nifty and I did a lot of battles together. We even saw the legendary Pokémon, Groudon!" Sonic complimented.
"Liar! You're lying! Frillish, use Recover!" Kevin screamed.
"Rockruff, use Sand Attack to stop the healing!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff shoots is dust of sand at Frillish's eyes, making it stop its healing process.
"How dare you!" Kevin exclaimed.
"How dare you." I said bluntly. Must I say more? I bet we already know this guy is... not cool. Not cool at all. AT FREAKING ALL.
"I'll get you for that. Frillish, use Bubble Beam!" Kevin shouted. Frillish launches its powerful water beam.
"Rockruff, counter the attack with Rock Throw!" Sonic yelled. Once again just like at the beginning of the match, the attacks collide, and none of those seemed stronger than the other.
"Great, now use Bite!" Sonic added. As Rockruff runs to land his attack, Frillish dodges it. But then Rockruff turns around from half of that dodge and lands the attack. Hey, nice mind games.
"Speed ain't nothing. You were just lucky on that one shot." Kevin scoffed. No dude, speed is everything. Have you SEEN the battles I have done? This guy though... he just thinks he's perfect when he's NOT.
"Well, let's see you try and get past this. Rockruff, use Bite one more time!" Sonic shouted.
"Tsk tsk. Frillish, use Bubble Beam." Kevin commanded. It was too late for Rockruff to dodge the attack this time. It got hurt badly, but it seemed like it was still okay to battle. Yeah, that's what's up!
"Don't give up yet, Rockruff! Use Bite!" Sonic yelled. Kevin seemed annoyed when Sonic did the same thing like last time. I'm not. I'm more than impressed, and that's no lie.
"Have you learned nothing? Frillish, Bubble Beam again." Kevin said in an annoyed tone. But this time...
"Dodge!" Sonic exclaimed. And Rockruff jumps to avoid the attack.
"Now finish him with Rock Throw!" Sonic screamed.
"DODGE IT NOW, FRILLISH!" Kevin screamed. Too late, idiot. Frillish takes the attack, and it faints. Not so much now, huh?
"Great job, Rockruff!" Sonic complimented.
"Ruff ruff!" Rockruff barked happily as it wags its tail and sticks its tongue out.
"Hmph... so you were lucky, big deal. I still got a couple more Pokémon by my side." Kevin said as he returns Frillish to his ball. Keyword: COUPLE. It seems like Kevin caught another Pokémon. I wonder who it could be?
Kevin pulls out an Ultra Ball this time. HOW THE FREAK DID THIS GUY GET AN ULTRA BALL THAT EARLY IN HIS JOURNEY?! Phew... okay, I am calm. Let's see what comes next.
"Allow me to show you two true strength. Gible! Let's go!" Kevin shouted as he threw the ball.
"Gib, Gib!" The small land shark Pokémon exclaimed. Wow, the pre-evolution of a pseudo-legendary. Okay, that's cool. BUT I STILL HATE YOU, KEVIN.
"Rockruff, use Rock Throw!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff threw its rocks AND the attack lands, but Gible seems to be fine. Wow, that's bulky.
"Gible, use Take Down!" Kevin yelled. Gible began charging up and surrounding itself in some kind of white energy, and it charged right at Rockruff.
"Quick, use Tackle!" Sonic exclaimed. Rockruff tries to counter the attack, but he fails miserably. Take Down IS a more powerful move...
"Wow, you do suck. You should know better on the power of these kinds of moves." Kevin said with a smirk.
"Well, I-I can still show YOU! Rockruff, use Bite!" Sonic screamed. Rockruff ran the fastest it could to attack Gible.
"Heh... use Sand Tomb." Kevin commanded. Gible punched the ground and some kind of small sand tornado sucked Rockruff in, and spun the poor dog around for a bit before disappearing.
"Now finish with Dragon Rage!" Kevin exclaimed. Once the tornado ends, Gible shoots out a powerful blue cloud attack, and Rockruff couldn't have enough time to dodge or counter it.
Rockruff falls to the floor. He fainted.
"See what happens? You should catch more stronger Pokémon." Kevin said with a small laugh. Sonic walked up to Rockruff and gave him a caring smile.
"It's fine, Rockruff. You did your best." Sonic cooed. Rockruff jumped onto Sonic's shoulder. Clearly it wants to watch this battle and doesn't want to be returned to his ball.
"You want to watch?" Sonic asked. Rockruff nods, a determined look on his face.
"Okay, we can still do this." Sonic responded, pumping his fist. Sonic gets back to his side of the battlefield and Rockruff stays by Sonic's side until the end of this battle.
"Brionne! Come on out!" Sonic shouted, sening out his next Pokémon. Brionne does a little twirl as it lands onto the field.
"Another starter, eh? I guess it's for the advantage and whatnot... Gible use Sandstorm!" Kevin yelled. Gible roars loudly, and suddenly a sandstorm comes in. Oh Arceus... why at a time like this.
Meanwhile, all the residents in Brimber City seem to have gone indoors. Great job, Kevin. You scared everyone. FREAKING. EVERYONE!
"Ack! Great, my eyes are stinging from this." I groaned. I'm not the only one apparently! Sonic seemed to have struggle from looking, and even Brionne does. Gible I can understand is fine, but...
HOW THE HECK IS KEVIN WITHSTANDING THIS CRAP?!
"You do know what happens in a sandstorm, right? Pokémon that are not Rock, Ground or Steel types take damage." Kevin instructed. YEAH, I KNOW THAT, YOU IDIOT.
"T...That will not stop us! Brionne, use Aqua Jet!" Sonic shouted. Brionne surrounds itself in that water, and the ability for her to see again, and charges right at the tiny land shark.
"Gible, use Take Down!" Kevin yelled. Gible does the same thing with his white energy and collides right at Brionne. Both have taken damage, but they both seem to be alright as they fall back onto their side of the battlefield.
"Impressed yet?" Sonic asked with a smirk.
"Not even a little." Kevin scoffed. Idiot...
"Okay, whatever. Brionne, use Water Pulse!" Sonic exclaimed. Brionne shoots her big water orb from her nose.
"Gible, dodge it and then use Dragon Rage!" Kevin commanded. Gible does a dodge roll and shoots its powerful attack without even a warning. That's why Brionne didn't have enough time to dodge or counter.
"Hang in there, Brionne! Use Disarming Voice!" Sonic shouted. Brionne shouts a huge heart beam.
"Counter with Take Down!" Kevin yelled. Gible disintigrates the attack and continues charging towards Brionne.
"Do a dance move to jump in the air!" Sonic exclaimed. Brionne smiles as it jumps into the air like a ballerina.
"Sand Tomb." Kevin continued with a smirk. Brionne got trapped inside the Sand Tomb. After a few more seconds of that sandy torment, I hear Kevin begin to land another attack.
"Dragon Rage to finish them!" Kevin shouted. Sonic had an idea when he saw the opposing attack come closer.
"Brionne, use Icy Wind!" Sonic screamed. Brionne shot her icy dust from her nose and froze the attack. Go ahead, Sonic! Finish that not-so-cool dude!
"Now Brionne, use Aqua Jet!" Sonic yelled.
"TAKE DOWN!" Kevin screamed. Both attacks collided. When the smoke cleared up, both Gible and Brionne fainted. Wow! I'm actually surprised by that. I'm not kidding.
"Return, Brionne. Take a good rest." Sonic said as he returns Brionne to her ball.
"Hmph... good job Gible..." Kevin mumbled as he returns Gible to his ball. Both of them only have one more Pokémon now. It's now or never.
"Let's finish this, Kevin. We shall show you!" Sonic yelled.
"Heh heh, that's what you think. This battle will change everything." Kevin replied. Both Kevin and Sonic brought out their Poke Balls. It's a starter battle.
"Quilladin! LET'S GO!" Sonic screamed as he sent out his starter.
"Quill!" The Spiny Armor Pokémon shouted as he lands on the field.
"Hmph... go, Torracat." Kevin muttered as he sent out his starter.
"Tor!" The fire cat Pokémon exclaimed. Last time, Sonic managed to defeat Kevi last time with this same type matchup. What could happen here? Welp, here it goes.
"Quilladin, use Pin Missile to start!" Sonic yelled. Quilladin sends out some harp needle missiles from the needles on his head, and sends them right at Torracat. But now... Torracat uses its quick reflexes to... freaking dodge without its trainer telling him to do so. Welp...
"Now, Torracat, use Fire Fang." Kevin commanded. Torracat's fire gets fiery and charges at Quilladin.
"Uh... Rollout!" Sonic exclaimed. Quilladin curls up into a ball and rolls the fastest it can. Torracat swiftly dodges and lands its attack from behind the rolling Pokémon. Quilladin didn't expect that to happen, and now it suffered the consequences. Poor guy...
"Grr... just watch! Quilladin, use Needle Arm!" Sonic shouted. Quilladin's right arm becomes more spiky and charge right at Torracat.
"Double Kick." Kevin said. Torracat turns around and kicks Quilladin with its hind legs, but Quilladin, dodges at JUST the right time.
"Now use Rollout!" Sonic continued. This time Torracat couldn't dodge and got hit. A lot of damage! Not bad!
"Type advantage... of course..." Kevin mumbled.
"Let's keep moving on. Quilladin use Bite!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Heh heh heh heh... Torracat, use Lick and counter that fool." Kevin commanded. And that was the first time I heard this idiot say "fool". Torracat interrupts the incoming attack by licking Quilladin with its huge tongue.
And now Quilladin is paralyzed. Oh no...
"Oh no, Quilladin!" Sonic shouted, concern in his voice.
"What 'cha gonna do now?" Kevin asked in a mocking tone.
"We're gonna show you who you have been messing with! Quilladin, use Pin Missile now!" Sonic yelled. Quilladin sends its powerful missiles, a bit weaker, but still functional. Torracat took the hit, but it seemed to have been a bit hurt by the attack.
"Dodge it, and then use Fire Fang!" Kevin exclaimed. Torracat dodges the attack, and then runs at Quilladin with all his strength.
"ROLLOUT!" Sonic commanded. Quilladin curls into its ball and attempts to try and attack Torracat. But...
The paralysis got ahead of Quilladin and made him freeze in return.
"GAH! DODGE IT, QUILLADIN!" Sonic screamed. Quilladin tried to run...
"Finish him." Kevin said. But Torrcat was too fast and landed its fiery attack. Quilldin fainted. Oh no... Kevin, the idiot who thinks he's strong, won against my best friend.
Sonic stood still with a shocked look.
"No... oh no..." He said quietly. I could still hear him though.
"That was too easy..." Kevin mumbled with a snarky smirk.
"Quilladin, return." Sonic said as he returns Quilladin to his ball. Rockruff ran over to Sonic, asking if he was okay. Sonic fell to his knees. Woah! I have seen signs of depression from other people before, but I have NEVER seen Sonic do that before!
Kevin walked over to him.
"You're not strong, you really suck. If you want to get stronger... find some better Pokémon, scum." Kevin insulted. THAT'S IT! HE HAS OFFICIALLY BROKEN THE LINE! I AM NOT GONNA FIGHT BACK BECAUSE HE JUST FOUGHT, BUT STILL! How dare you treat my friend like that!
"Ruff, ruff ruff ruff!" Rockruff barked angrily, and then growled at Kevin. But Torracat ran in front of Kevin and hissed at Rockruff. Rockruff whined and hid behind Sonic.
"Listen up, idiot. You have come between me and my friend. If you ever try and insult him again like that, then you won't like what I have to offer!" I said in a determined tone. I did my best to stand up for the friend I cared about most. Kevin just scoffed and shrugged.
"Eh, whatever. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go get the third badge." Kevin said, and then he walks away with a chuckle, with Torracat following him. I growled at him.
"Not. Freaking. Cool." I said to myself. I looked at Sonic and my anger turned into concern. He still looked pretty depressed.
"Sonic? Are you okay?" I asked him. I began to see Sonic shake a little bit. Suddenly he ran away from me and ran into the Pokémon Center.
"SONIC! Wait, Sonic!" I shouted as I held out my hand, but he was already gone. I sighed in defeat. Rockruff looks at me and whines. He looked like he was about to cry.
"Oh, come here." I said in a baby-talk voice. I lean down and gently pick the dog up. I began to walk to the Pokémon Center, but I got interrupted by someone calling my name.
"Nifty!" That voice shouted. It was Jake. I wonder why he wasn't at Mt. Igneus like he said he was gonna be.
"Hi, Jake." I greeted as my other friend walked to me.
"Who was that guy that walked to the next city?" Jake asked.
"That, Jake, is an IDIOT known as Kevin," I explained, "All he cares about is strong Pokémon, and he'll insult anyone who is weak. Do not go near him ever."
"So what happened exactly?" Jake asked as he cocked his head a bit to the right.
"He challenged Sonic to a battle and won. Sonic got a bit depressed after the fight..." I replied as I lower my head. Jake felt bad.
"Oh no! Is he gonna be okay?" Jake asked once again with true concern in his voice.
"I'm about to find out. I'll be right back, Jake." I said, and then I walk into the Pokémon Center. I sure hope Sonic is okay...
"Sonic? Sonic, are you here?" I called out. I looked over to one of the benches and I saw Sonic sitting on one, his face lowered so no one can look at him. He wasn't crying though, THANK ARCEUS. I gently put Rockruff down as he follows me to where his trainer is.
I sat down next to Sonic.
"You alright? This isn't like you." I asked calmly.
"Nifty... Kevin is just... right about everything he said." Sonic confessed. That took me by surprise. SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! I would never hear my best friend say something like that!
"What are you talking about?" I exclaimed.
"I don't think I'm ready to be a trainer. I think I'm just gonna go back home." Sonic continued. I then stood up as I had an angry look on his face.
"No." I said.
"W-What do you mean? I can't even win the battles I truly needed!" Sonic yelled.
"Listen here, Sonic, we have come so far! We're already at the 2nd gym," I explained to him, "We got ourselves a mighty team, and we are on a goal for one thing: to save my parents and stop Team Eclipse! We will continue organizing our team, and we will take back what's ours!"
"But... Kevin literally said that I suck and I am not strong." Sonic admitted.
"Forget what Kevin said! He is the true scum there," I protested, "Plus, he didn't do things that we have seen for ourselves. We have stopped Team Eclipse from destroying a city! We witnessed the awakening of the legendary Pokémon, Groudon! And I got this necklace that saved us all! If Kevin was there to even TRY, he wouldn't even be CLOSE! So if there's advice you need... forget whatever Kevin says to you and stand up against him! You are better than this, Sonic! You are one of the best trainers! IN. ALL. OF. RORIA!"
I know that we aren't really the best yet, but we're pretty good for making it this far.
Sonic began to feel a bit more better with each passing sentence I said.
"Yeah... you're right! Kevin didn't do half of the stuff we did. Next time we meet, we will defeat him!" Sonic exclaimed as he stood up.
"Now that's what I like to hear!" I cheered.
"Let's heal our Pokémon, and then it's off to the gym." Sonic said.
"You got it, my dude!" I exclaimed with a wink. We walked over to the front desk, and Nurse Joy does the rest for healing our Pokémon.
Kevin... we will show him.
A/N: Once again, the Internet ain't being the best XD. Anyway, I hoped you like this! It'll take me a while to make each chapter, but note that this story WILL be finished, so don't worry! I'm here all the way ;). Have a wonderful day, dudes! :D
