Chapter 11: Bet On Ed
"AW COME ON!" Sarah shouted. "How come THEY get the Galarian starters and not me?!" Sarah pointed to the Eds.
"Be happy at least you got a new Pokémon." Said Leon.
"Well, at least I have a Dragon." Sarah looked happily content with her Applin.
Ed and Grookey were poking each other, Edd was trying to calm down Sobble, and Eddy was kicking a can with Scorbunny.
But all this reminds Jimmy of something.
"Nurse Joy?" Jimmy asked worryingly. "I have an emergency. This new Pokémon looks injured.."
"Don't worry! I'll take good care of it!" Nurse Joy said with a grin as she takes the Pokeball to the Restoring Machine. "My my, you have a nice Milcery."
"Milcery?!" Kevin chuckled. "Sounds like a loser Pokémon!"
"Milcery is a Fairy Type." Leon commented, but this made Kevin laugh.
"FAIRY TYPE?! OH THAT'S RICH!" Kevin laughed harder.
"I think Fairy Type is cute." Nazz pats the Pokeball.
"We own three Fairy Pokémon." Marie replied through her research. "Apparently, they are immune to Dragon Type."
"Correct." Said Leon.
"WHAT?!" Eddy and Kevin shouted in surprise.
The machine beeps with Milcery coming out of her Pokeball.
"Applin! Dragonbreath!" Sarah ordered. The Applin blasted a stream of dragon energy to the Milcery. But it did nothing. "SO COOL! I WANT A FAIRY TYPE!"
Jimmy looks at the Milcery's happy face. Jimmy just picked her up and spinned her around thrice. Suddenly, she glows!
(Congratulations! Milcery evolved into Alcremie (Vanilla/Strawberries)
Leon chuckled to see an Evolved Galarian Pokémon.
Alcremie hugs Jimmy tightly and smoothly. Jimmy giggled.
Kevin looked at his new Pokémon, Dreepy. "At least I have a Dragon."
(New Pokémon:
Ed received Grookey
Edd received Sobble
Eddy received Scorbunny
Sarah received Applin
May received Blipbug
Lee received Yamper
Marie received Rookidee
Kevin received Dreepy
Jonny received Rolycoly
Rolf received Cuffant
Nazz received Clobopus
and Jimmy keeps Alcremie)
Suddenly Misty and another Gym Leader meet up witht the Cul De Dac.
"There you are!" Misty huffed.
"Hi Misty!" Ed said with his dumb voice.
"Hey there... Um.." Misty tried to smile while holding onto her cringe eversince he defeated her.
"Call me Ed!" Ed commented.
"Right... Ed!" Misty chuckled nervously. "Listen, about my position as Gym Leader, I am currently unable to make our battle official..."
"Awww... I had fun." Ed said a bit sadly. "Wait, what does it mean?"
"It means you TRULY haven't won the Cerulean Badge." Said another Gym Leader.
It was a slender, dark skinned woman in a blue and white soccer gear.
"Nessa, you're here to challenge the Ed who took down the toughest Water Type Gym Leader in one Super Move?" Leon asked.
"Correction: I am the best Water Type Master." Nessa told Leon. "And yes, I'm here to see the kid who defeated Misty."
"Well, you come to the right place." Said Leon.
"I'll make it quick and easy!" Nessa smirked. "Meet you in Waterpark Stadium!"
She and Misty left. Leon decided to look after the Cul De Sac kids and watched as they try training themselves by sparing, and Leon found the move that ENDED Misty's team as a whole.
It was then, Leon showed Ed the warning. He invites the Cul De Sac into Waterpark Stadium for another poor kid's challenge for Nessa.
"And the Roselia goes for another Mega Drain!" The announcer reported. "But what's this?! GIGANTAMAX!"
"Big Deal! We took down that Gigantic Gengar!" Eddy replied.
"I think it's about to do their worst, Eddy!" Edd pointed out.
"Roselia, Sunny Day!" The Aroma Girl commanded as the Sunlight grows harsher. "My Roselia will finish your Gigantamax water Pokémon! Now Roselia, Solarbeam!"
"Use Max Geyser!" Nessa ordered. The Gigantamax Pokémon used a massive pump of water to make it rain and pour down on Roselia, making it faint.
"And Roselia is unable to battle! Nessa wins!" The announcer reported as the crowd cheers.
"Oh no... Roselia, return..." The Aroma Girl recalled her Pokémon sadly.
"Well, looks like we need to train more, huh, Ed." Said May. Suddenly, everyone looked, and Ed was nowhere to be found.
Ed was in the field!
"ED!" Everyone shouted.
"Well, what took you so long?" Nessa grins.
"Oh no!" Ed remembered, "I left Lilligant in that Daycare! But Double D says Grass drains Water... The reason why I chose Grookey is because of my Lilligant! This Pokémon has the same spirit as her! And I will not let up!"
"Is it me, or did the dork ACTUALLY said something inspiring?" Kevin cleaned his ears.
Ed gave Grookey a Jawbreaker as Grookey stuffed his mouth with the tasty treat. But Ed checked his team. "Oh wait! There's my Lilligant!"
Lilligant and Grookey had a worry look on their faces. They are afraid one of them would get replaced.
"Oh no!" Edd said while biting his nails. Suddenly Grookey and Lilligant started crying.
Ed looked sad. "Don't cry!" Ed told his Pokémon. "I actually like having you two on my team! I don't care if I have to follow the stupid formula! Maybe I'll be the best Grass Type trainer!" Lilligant and Grookey looked at Ed as Ed hugged his Pokémon.
"Oh boy, it looks like that poor kid is having an emptional time with his Pokémon! We'll have to wait folks..." The announcer said with a yawn.
The crowd booed Ed.
Ed spread his arms wide to show he loves his Pokémon. Grookey found something in Ed's pocket. It was a Spirit Seed.
(Spirit Seed: A Seed with a small soul inside. Said to have mysterious power to make Pokémon evolve.)
(And now ladies and gentlemen! I present to you my own JNL Evolution!)
Lilligant takes the Spirit Seed and starts evolving.
"LILLI!" Lilligant starts shedding her elegant petals and flower and grows a new one, but this one's dark and glowing. "Lilligant!"
(Congratulations! Lilligant evolved into a JNL Lilligant!)
Jonny took out his Pokédex, as Plank (His Sudowoodo) examined the new Pokémon.
"JNL Lilligant! The Moon Flower! Said to have the power of the spirits and the moon! She lost her beauty due to sadness and regained a new form when it's happy again."
"So the Lilligant became sad and happy again and now it evolved?!" Nazz explained with awe about Ed's new Pokémon.
JNL (Electric/Ghost)
"Well, folks! We have a NEW Pokémon evolve right in front of us!" The announcer announced!
(JNL Lilligant would like to learn Shadow Ball and Thunder!)
(3.. 2.. 1.. Ta Da!)
(JNL Lilligant forgot Mega Drain and Absorb and learned the 2 moves!)
"Alright!" Ed stood in a fighting stance with his Pokémon.
(Ed's Team:
Quilava: Fire
Sligoo: Dragon
JNL Lilligant: Ghost/Electric
Grookey: Grass)
(Nessa's Team:
Blastoise: Water
Greninja: Water/Dark
Drednaw: Water/Rock
Tentacruel: Water/Poison
Arctovish: Water/Ice
Araquanid: Water/Bug)
The crowd cheers 100% for Nessa, but not Ed. However, this did not stop the Cul De Sac Kids from cheering Ed.
"YOU CAN DO THIS ED!" Edd cheered.
"Go get em again, Big Guy!" Eddy cheered. The Cul De Sac kids cheered on but they were booed by the fans.
(Gym Leader Rematch Begin!)
(Ost Playing: Elite Four Theme - Sun & Moon)
(Gym Leader Nessa wants to battle!)
"Let's get them, Blastoise!" Nessa calls out her Pokémon.
"Lilligant! Let's go!" Ed called out.
"Blastoise! Ice Beam!" Nessa ordered. Blastoise shot a stream of ice at JNL Lilligant, but it was just effective. "WHAT?! That Lilligant is not a Grass Type?!"
(JNL Lilligant 76%)
"Lilligant! Thunder!" Ed ordered quickly before Nessa recalls her Blastoise. JNL Lilligant zaps Blastoise with a huge amount of sheer energy!
(Blastoise 0% KO)
Blastoise faints.
(JNL Lilligant's Ability: Grave Digger)
(Lilligant took Blastoise's Sitrus Berry! She used the stolen item immediately!)
(JNL Lilligant 100%)
"Lilligant! Return!" Ed recalled. "Go! Quilava!"
Quilava roars.
'Is he planning to change the field?!' Nessa thought. 'No matter, a Dynamax can finish him off!' "Drednaw! Let's go!"
"Oh boy! Looks like Ed is going to have her by the ropes!" Eddy commented.
"But doesn't that Pokémon Dynamax?!" Jonny asked. Plank (Or Jonny's Sudowoodo) gets scared of the thought of rain. "It's alright Plank! We'll get through this!"
(Ed's Arcane Core lights up!)
"Quilava! Vaporize!" Ed commanded. The Quilava's mouth lit up with shining bright light as he spits out a scorching sun ball that made the Stadium swelter.
(A Harsh heat wave sets across the field!)
"I've always wanted to fight weather wars!" Nessa recalls her Drednaw.
"ED! IT'S A TRAP!" Nazz warned.
"Huu?" Ed watched as Nessa recalled her Pokémon and made the Pokeball from a small Pokeball to a beach ball sized one. She hurled it behind her and Ed watched as he sees a Giant Mega Evolved Pokémon!
(OST Playing: Mario Luigi: Pokémon BW Boss Battle!)
"Dreadnaw! Max Geyser!" Nessa ordered. The Gigantamax Drednaw blasted enough water to put out the desert sun and made it rain, but at the same time, flooded Quilava.
(Quilava 0% KO)
"Just what I wanted!" Ed smirked. "Lilligant! Go again!" Ed summons his faithful Plant Ghost Pokémon.
(JNL Lilligant's Ability: Grave Digger)
(JNL Lilligant robbed Quilava's Solar Panel)
"So that's where my solar panel was!" Edd said with joy but then he gets confused.
(Solar Panel: Fully charges Solar attacks and Electric Moves. 3 uses only.)
"Lilligant! Solar Beam!" Ed ordered.
'I FELL FOR HIS TRAP!' Nessa screamed in her mind.
Lilligant blasts a giant stream of light at the Gigantamax Dreadnaw with the Solar Panel charged all full power.
(Gmax Dreadnaw 200% HP to 0% HP)
Nessa looks at her Gigantamax Pokémon exploded with energy and faints. "Dreadnaw return!" Nessa recalled her Pokémon.
"DID YOU SEE THAT FOLKS?! THAT GHOST/ELECTRIC LILLIGANT JUST SINGLE HANDEDLY A GIGANTAMAX POKÉMON!" The announcer stood shocked.
"Leon told me Max Raids are common in the Galar region." Said Ed. "So I found out how to find a way to turn the battle around!"
Nessa smirked. "Clever boy... But the fight isn't over yet! Greninja!"
Nessa sent out a Non Galarian Pokémon Starter.
[A/N Prepare for MY exclusive moves!]
"Lilligant! Return!" Ed recalled Lilligant. "Go, Grookey!"
Grookey growled in battle.
"Wanna spice it up, Ed boy?!" Nessa taunted.
"Oh do I! Hold the peppers!" Said Ed.
"Oh what are we having here, Folks?! I sense a Triple Battle!" The announcer reported.
"Go! Tentacruel! And Araquanid!" Nessa sent out her second and third last Water Pokémon.
"Sligoo! Lilligant! Come out!" Ed sends them out.
"Araquanid! Tentacruel! Greninja! Surf!" Said Nessa.
Ed's team had taken a big flooding amount of damage, but luckily, some of it wasn't an effective hit.
(JNL Lilligant 34%
Grookey 56%
Sligoo 34%)
"Grookey! Drum Kick!" Ed ordered. Grookey threw his Branch like a Boomerang to Tentacruel, and a sound wave splashed among the rest of the Pokémon.
(Drum Kick: Fighting : The user throws an object to make a deep soundwave using the enemy's body. The user may also use its foot if desired to be used as a Physical Attack.)
(Greninja 70% Super Effective
Tentacruel 70% Not Very Effective
Araquanid 80% Not Very Effective)
"Lilligant! Thunder on Greninja!" Ed commanded. JNL Lilligant shocked Greninja with great power!
(Greninja 0% KO)
"Sligoo! Flamethrower on Araquanid!" Ed finoshed his turn as Sligoo blasts a flaming stream to Araquanid.
(Araquanid 56%)
The crowd cheers for the three on their last Pokémon.
"Well then, time to put my Fossil Pokémon to the Test!" Said Nessa. "Come out, Arctovish!"
Nessa sends out an ugly hybrid of a fossil Pokémon.
"Cool!" Eddy was amazed.
"Looks like its body parts don't belong together.." Edd said worryingly.
"YOU CAN DO THIS ED!" Shouted Leon. The Kids looked at Leon. "You got this, kid!"
"You can do it, Ed!" Edd shouted.
"We're rooting for you!" Said May.
"Yeah!" Said a familiar voice. "I'm on your side, Ed!"
"C - Cynthia?!" Edd shivered.
Ed's Arcane Core lit up.
"It's time!" Ed used the power of the Arcane Core. "Blackout!"
(Ghost + Electric = Shadow Cloak)
(Shadow Cloak: Ghost: A Ghost Terrain that hides the Ally Pokémon in darkness. Or it just Fully increase the Ally's Evasion and Fully decrease Enemy's accuracy. Effects and Field Effect lasts for 3 turns.)
The stadium becomes shrouded within darkness as Lilligant, Grookey, and Sligoo are fully camouflaged.
"I CAN'T SEE A THING!"
"WHERE DID THEY GO?!"
"Finish them off! Thunder! Drum Kick! And Flamethrower!" Ed called the final orders. As the Pokémon sweeps Nessa's team, the darkness leaves, leaving Ed's Pokémon triumphant! "ALRIGHT!" Ed and his Pokémon scream in joy.
Nessa couldn't believe she lost. "HOW?! Well I guess I found out HOW you beat Misty."
The Cul De Sac Kids leaped with joy while the crowd cheers. Ed and Nessa shook hands as Ed got his Cerulean Badge back.
(What?! Grookey is evolving?!)
Grookey grows up taller, leaner and with a nother stick.
(Congratulations! Grookey evolved into Thwacky!)
"Well, this was fun." Said Nessa.
"I couldn't agree more." Said Leon.
After the ceremony, the Cul De Sac Kids was rewarded for free stays at the Waterpark City Hotels.
The team was then deciding to rest and dream their new dreams of becoming Pokémon Masters.
