Chapter 27: Shaymins resolve

Nei:

I didn't them to arrive this soon nor did I expect him to attack with a 3 headed dragon off the bat, it shows how serious they really are. We could barely move, thanks to the thunder wave but fortunately I think I know what I can do to counterattack. I moved my leg and tapped the pokeball I dropped. It called out pikachu and I smiled as the thunder wave was drawn to pikachu. Saturn was surprised and demanded "how could the thunder wave wore off so quickly!?" I stood there and looked to him and replied "it's something you didn't consider, this pikachu has the ability lightning rod. That means all electric moves used are drawn to him and on top of that his special attack also increases for the electrical move absorbed. Can you guess how much power he gained from absorbing thunder wave off the 5 of us?" Saturns expression turned to worry as I told pikachu "use thunder bolt" normally this is a reasonably strong attack but with lightning rob ability, the power reached higher.

Pikachu shot the charged lightning bolt to Hydreigon and Saturn jumped as the lightning struck the dragon into the side of the cave with force, equal to that of a hyper beam. I smiled at Pikachu as Saturn sent out Tyranitar and Toxicroak. Glaceon stepped forward and joined the fight 3 on 3 and I knew how I was going to win this battle, thanks to me using surf as a defensive wall gave me an advantage even if Saturn used it to paralyse us all. I turned to Azelf and Uxie, who seemed worried and I smiled to them saying "don't worry I won't let him harm either of you" looking at Hydreigon, Tyranitar and Toxicroak I knew what they were weak too but I pulled out my pokedex and analysed them and confirmed my thoughts. Hydreigon is a dark dragon type meaning they're weak to fairy type for 4x damage and double damage from fighting, bug, ice and other dragon types. Tyranitar is a dark rock type meaning they're weak to fighting types with 4x damage and double damage from ground, bug, steel, water, grass and fairy types. Toxicroak is a poison fighting type meaning they're weak 4x damage from psychic and double damage from flying and ground types.

"blastoise, use water pulse" a water pulse was sent to all 3 of Saturns pokemon and hit Toxicroak as he used himself as a human shield, no surprise why with having not being very effective. Saturn commanded "Tyranitar, use dark pulse" I dark pulse headed to Pikachu, I'm guessing to prevent me from using lightning to such a degree. So Blastoise used himself as a shield, like Toxicroak did. "Pikachu, use the water and strike using thunder and Glaceon use ice beam" Glaceon used ice beam to make an ice wall using the water while Pikachu shot lightning into the sky and because of the water the thunder that struck down spread it range hitting all of their pokemon at once. Unfortunately, due to their types not much damage went through even for lightning. Azelf and Uxie watched in amaze as they didn't expect this to happen, or to this degree. Saturn commanded "Hydreigon, use dragon breath" it shot dragons fire to and through the ice wall I made defensively and i stood there with a smile as he continued "Tyranitar, us-" he looked and say Toxicroak and Tyrantitar held to the ground by ice then turned to me as I explained "I got Glaceon to form the wall because it also freezes the water Blastoise used to flood this cave earlier, it makes it easier for me to do this, Blastoise use hydro cannon" both barrals opened and shots a powerful water attack at Tyranitar and knocked him down in a single hit and even blasted the wall behind him wide open.

Blastoise, like Hydreigon, must recharge due to using such an attack but because I targeted his Tyranitar for the moment I have the upper hand 2 against 1. I don't think such tactics would work on Saturn a second time, after all rumour has it that this guy is the new leader and was 1 of the 3 best under the previous leader. He's not to be underestimated and either way I look at this, he won't be easy to beat. I must take the chance to get the upper hand "Glaceon use icy wi-" before I could finish, Shaymin used magical leaf afew times and attacked me. Azelf and Uxie were shocked as was everyone else while he kept attack being cut with each leaf rotation. I fell to my knee as I started to bleed from where I was intensely cut and looked up as Shaymin snarled and barked "I said only I will defend him, me, not you!" he then attacked with magical leaf again then I got up and moved dodging the leaf attack as Saturn grinned and saw how to turn the tables. He commanded "Toxicroak, use poison jab" Toxicroak moved fast and struck Pikachu, getting him poisoned. I tried to give them orders by I was too busy dodging magical leaf and Glaceon tried to freeze the leaves using icy wind, it wasn't turning out as I planned and Pikachu was in deep pain.

I have to get to Pikachu quickly but this Shaymin won't stop. Azelf and Uxie used protect to shield me from the leaf attack and flew with me as I made my way to Pikachu to heal. I treated Pikachu's poisoned state then tended to his wounds as Azelf and Uxie continued to use protect. I don't know what I can do now, I wasn't anticipating Shaymin to attack me like this but now I have an extra problem to deal with. I got up and so did Pikachu and I looked at Toxicroak, Hydreigon and Shaymin wondering what to do next as Saturn gave a command "Hydreigon, use hyper voice" he took a deep breath and roared out pushing all of us back as it damaged everyone, even the lake spirits.
