Chapter 58: Sweet Victory Road

Well, there I was. Victory Road. The obstacle between me and the Indigo Plateau.

I battled Pokémon after Pokémon, levelling up my team. Gyarados moved around multiple rocks as well to help me get through.

I don't want to go into the very little details about all the Pokémon I encountered, there were a lot. But here was one of my encounters. A giant brown Pokémon with claws and a yellow circle on its belly.

Ursaring

194

Normal Type

Hibernator Pokémon

5'11" (1.8 m)

277.3 lbs (125.8 kg)

Although it is a good climber, it prefers to snap trees with its forelegs and eat fallen berries.

Evolved from Teddiursa at Lv 30.

I had Graveler take it out with DynamicPunch.

I kept on walking and I saw a bunch of men crowding round something. They spotted me and started throwing a riot. I was scared. Who were these people? I stared through them and I saw Silver, out cold. I tried to go over to him, but the men stopped me. They then started making some sort of call.

The air around me heated up. A big Pokemon with fiery wings flew at me.

Moltres

237

Fire/Flying Type

Flame Pokémon

6'07" (2 m)

132.3 lbs (60 kg)

This legendary Pokémon scatters embers with every flap of its wings. It is a thrilling sight to behold.

Legendary Pokémon.

It approached Silver. This was bad. I ran at Moltres, screaming at it to leave Silver alone. It clearly wouldn't do it without a fight.

Suicune was sent out. Suicune used BubbleBeam which really hurt Moltres. Moltres came back with Flamethrower. Suicune endured it. Suicune used another BubbleBeam on Moltres. This was a Critical Hit and knocked out Moltres.

The men were shocked. They all fled.

Silver was laying on the ground. He was still breathing, but he was clearly beat. I nudged him and he woke up. "Uurgh. What happened?" He saw me. "You beat them?" I shook my head as I explained to him about Moltres, pointing over at the fainted Pokémon.

Silver went over to it. "YOU beat Moltres? Which Pokémon did you use?" He then eyed Suicune. "That can't be. You were able to catch Suicune?! What did Eusine think?!" I told him that Eusine was fine with it. "Unbelievable. Meet me at the end of Victory Road. We need another battle."

As he walked on however, he was attacked by a large, grey Pokémon with a horn.

Rhydon

207

Ground/Rock Type

Drill Pokémon

6'03" (1.9 m)

264.6 lbs (120 kg)

Its brain developed when it began walking on hind legs. Its thick hide protects it even in magma.

Evolved from Rhyhorn at Lv 42.

I had Suicune use BubbleBeam on Rhydon, knocking it out in one.

"I could have taken it on my own." I asked him to show me his Pokémon. They were all knocked out savour for his Golbat, who was barely hanging on. "Maybe not. Let's make it through this cave together, then we will battle."

We walked along. I was battling all the Pokémon as he watched on in awe. I was telling him about my training styles and, for the first time in the journey, he acknowledged me.

Soon, we reached the end. I got out some revives for him to use. "You had them the whole time?!" Silver asked. "Never mind. They are yours. I'll quickly nip to the League Centre to heal up. Wait here."

I did just that. He came back out a minute later. "Okay. You promised me. Let's do this!"

Silver's first Pokémon was Sneasel and I used Typhlosion. Sneasel started with Quick Attack. It struck Typhlosion but Typhlosion came back with Flame Wheel, knocking it out.

Next was Golbat. I used Ampharos which used ThunderPunch and knocked out Golbat in one.

Magneton vs Graveler. GRaveler used Earthquake finishing off Magneton in one fell swoop. Same with Haunter.

Kadabra. Graveler used Earthquake which almost knocked out Kadabra. Kadabra used Psybeam back, inflicting little damage and causing confusion. Graveler hit itself next turn. Kadabra used Disable, meaning Graveler couldn't use Earthquake. Graveler tried Rock Throew instead, but it hit itself again. Kadabra used Psybeam. It was a Critical Hit and knocked out Graveler.

I used Ampharos. It used ThunderPunch finishing Kadabra.

Finally, was Feraligatr. Ampharos used ThunderPunch, beating it.

"Unbelieavable" Silver said. "But why? I always battle with my Pokemon. Why are yours in the 50s?" I told him its because I love my Pokemon to. He just battles with them. Silver just stood in silence. "I don't deserve to take on the League." He walked back down Victory Road. I asked where he was going. "I am looking for my Father. The best bet? Kanto. I need to get stronger while I'm there to. I suppose I should wish you good luck."

As Silver disappeared into the darkness of Victory Road, I looked into the light of the Indigo Plateua. This was it. The place where I would become Champion. In my way? The Elite Four and the current Champion.
