Chapter 12: Volkners surprise
Tank:
Without a moment to let Volkner think I called out "Ven, use sleep powder" Vens huge for on his back shook and a light green cloud of spores filled the room and made Ambipom fall asleep while Volkner covered his mouth in the nick of time. With Ambipom asleep, now we the perfect chance to take advantage of this while it lasts. I told Ven "now use sweet scent" the flower let loose a violet cloud of spores with a sweet smell to it, knowing this smell will let Ambipoms evasion, making it easier to hit his Pokémon. Unfortunately for Volkner, Ambipom was so suffering from the effects of the sleep powder so I took the opportunity to tell Ven "use leech seed" seeds shot from the flower and attached onto Ambipom and started to leech Ambipoms life making it easier. Volkner was surprised how quickly leech seed was effective so he used a potion called awakening to wake Ambipom from his deep slumber. But Ambipom was starting to get wrapped up in vines and plants leeching the life out of it. Then I told Ven "finish this with double edge" Ven charge at Ambipom and hit hard knocking the vines and plants off of him and making the Ambipom faint before the leech seed take Ambipoms life away.
I told Volkner "don't worry, I wouldn't of allowed Ambipom to die" Volkner send to smile knowing I have respect and care for Pokémon and not just for my own. He called back his fainted Ambipom then sent out his Jolteon. My Umbreon and Eevee watched the battle, wasn't expecting it to be as intense as it is. I smiled and said "looks like you're on your last leg, once I defeat your Jolteon you'll pass on your badge" he simply smiled and lifted his jacket to show where he keeps his poke balls saying "what makes you say I only have 4, Pokémon?" on his belt was another 2 poke balls that haven't been sent to do battle. I said "Ven, use vine whip" the vines go and try to whip Jolteon but the Jolteon jumped and dodged the attacks, it was as I expected, he's fast. But where there's speed endurance doesn't tend to follow suit. He called out "use quick attack" in blinding speed the Jolteon disappeared and hit Ven several times with light his. I said "Ven, use poison powder" a deep purple cloud comes out of the flower on Vens back and filled the room with the prompts spores. Volkner caught on to what I did, using Jolteons speed to spread the poison faster and damaging him. Before the poison could get too the other people, I have to get rid of it or someone might get hurt. I told Ven "use petal blizzard"
The leaves lifted up and many petals appeared and started to make huge guests of wind with petals filling the stage and room. Each petal damaging Jolteon and diluted the poison spores in the air making it safer for everyone. The Jolteon skid to Volkner and fainted. He called back Jolteon then sent out his Luxray and on calling out the Luxray he said "use thunder fang" it moved fast and struck Ven with is fans and paralysed Ven. He held on to been and gone told his Luxray "now use discharge" Luxray made electricity sort it and shock everything around it hitting Ven heavy and dealing heavy damage. Eevee looked at Umbreon who seemed to be eager to do battle and let loose but he knew he had to take care of Eevee on his back. I told Ven "use synthesis" Ven made this break into the ground and leaves turned to the light and started to heal himself using the light, wounds faint away. Volkner send impressed with the battle and said"Luxray use thunder fang" I noticed there was still a charge from the discharge and it all move to Luxrays fangs making his bite stronger and paralyses Ven. Luxray jumped back and growled a little. Volkner smiled and told me "you're not the only one who knows what you're doing but I will say I'm impressed, your indeed a great trainer. In fact I'm so impressed" he reached into his pocket and held the beacon badge as he continued "I'm ready to pass this to you when I lose this match" I felt honoured to have my skills recognised in the middle of the my like this and I want going to disappoint the last gym leader. I said "Ven use vine whip" the vines went to whip Luxray but missed several times as Volkner told me "being that forward with your attacks won't help best speed for for"
We smiled as we both knew I had a plan but I knew what to do with the vines. After a few strike's, Volkner caught on to my plan and I told him "yes but you know what people say, hate makes waste and this is why" the vines Ven was using to whip Luxray wasn't to hit Luxray directly but was to distract the Luxray to catch him in a trap and tied him up then slammed him on the ground and rocks on the stage created earlier from other attacks. This did heavy damage to Luxray and finished him off by slamming him on the ground in front of Volkner. He sent it his last Pokémon and smiled. I called Ven back and Volkner asked "not going to used the venusaur to take on my last one?" I shook my head and held my poke ball out replying "i believe in my team, they have never let me down and they never will" he smiled at my answer and sent out Ekectivire while I sent out Tyrantrum, my newly evolved Pokémon from earlier in the match. He seemed good to right so I used a potion on him to bring his health back up to fill. I said "you know you shouldn't have let me heal Tyrantrum" he nodded and replied to me "but then the victory of beating Rable wouldn't have been honourable and as a gym leader I have to up hold the standards in every match" an honourable gym leader like him, even in defeat is a great role model for trainers to follow.
