ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 33 - Full arrow force.
Disclaimer: Still don't own Pokemon :/
It was the next day as Hau took Ash and Lillie to a bus at the bottom of a small mountain.
"Righto! Right up there is the Hokulani observatory also known to us trial goers as the location of electric trial." Hau explained as the trio boarded the bus.
"What's the captain like?" Lillie asked who had Vulpix on her lap and Kirlia next to her with Nebby sitting tightly in his bag.
Hau frowned.
"I don't like that look…" Ash moaned.
"Yeah… He was difficult, I'll say that much heh." Hau explain to Ash. "His name is Sophocles."
The bus started up and proceeded up the mountain.
"Hmm, I want to use Torracat but he has been playing up a lot recently… Is that something usual for the species?" Ash questioned.
"You could always ask the professor up top!" Hau told him.
"Wait? Kukui is up the Hokulani observatory?" Lillie said.
Hau nodded.
"Remember Molayne? He is the former captain up there and Sophocles older cousin. I guess he is visiting them?"
As they travelled up the mountain to the observatory, Ash noticed many of the features that the nature of Ula'Ula island and its manmade structures. One thing that stood out massively to Ash was a second but larger mountain and a giant desert dead smack in the centre of the island.
It was another ten to fifteen minutes before they finally reached a large metal building with a giant telescope pointing out of the said building.
The trio step out of the bus to find two familiar faces of Kukui and Molayne standing outside of the building talking as people passed in and out.
"Professor!" Ash called out.
Kukui turned and grinned.
"Ah! Ash, Lillie and Hau! So good to see you again! You a remember Molayne right?" Kukui said as he pointed at the dirty blonde man behind him.
"Welcome to the Hokulani observatory and the trial sight for the 5th trial of Alola!" Molayne said to the group.
"Professor? Can I ask you something about Torracat?" Ash asked.
"Go ahead." Kukui said.
"Well, it started when I was battling Hau when his Jangmo-o evolved to Hakamo-o. We activated blaze and he pushed himself to the max and won the battle but shortly fainted afterwards. However, the thing is, since then he has been extremely aggressive to me and the others around him, especially Hakamo-o." Ash told the professor.
Kukui just smirked.
"Well… I have two possible ideas to your problem. One! Torracat has a massive ego and a giant fighting spirt!" Kukui explained.
"Uh…" Ash blurted confused.
"OR… He is one the verge of evolving…" The professor said with a grin.
"Evolving!" Lillie said out loud.
"Correct. You see… Torracat evolves in to a Pokemon known as Incineroar. Fire dark typing first off, two very hot-headed typing's. Incineroar disregards the safety of those around it and will go through attempt after attempt to settle a score or too win. The heel Pokemon will attack anything that will get in its way or worse, play dirty and attack the opposing trainer. They are a hassle because if it doesn't respect its trainer, it will ignore him or her and do whatever it wants." Kukui explained about Incineroar.
Hau and Lillie looked in shock but Ash kept a straight look.
It reminded him of his earlier issues he had once with Charizard.
Just that Incineroar sounds a bit more violent which has been evident with Torracats behaviour as of late.
Kukui noticed the bracelet around Lillies wrist and gave a very shocked look.
"Lillie!? Is that a!?" Kukui stuttered as he pointed to the Z-ring.
She sweat dropped.
"Yes Professor. I have my own Z-ring. Kind of got semi on accident but hey! It's here now." Lillie explained.
"Wow. You've achieved so much since you left the lab. All of you have!" Kukui told the trio.
"Ash. The trial that is blocking you from continuing is just waiting inside." Molayne explained as he pointed at the door. "OH! Kukui, don't forget to tell them about Mount Lanakila"
"Mount Lanawhatnot?" Ash blurted out.
"Mount Lanakila is the tallest mountain in all of Alola. But it's just a regular mountain." Lillie explained.
"It won't be for long though." Kukui interrupted.
"What do you mean?" Hau said.
Kukui smirked.
"Mount Lanakila will be the location of the first ever Alolan Pokemon League."
The two boy's faces lit up in a heartbeat.
"The actual stadiums will be at the base of the mountain and residence can stay at the Tapu Village which is under renovation as we speak. The elite four and the champion will, however, rest at the peak of the mountain. Winners of the league will have to brave the odds through the mountain, face the Elite four and then the champion if they make it that far." Kukui told them all.
"This… This is amazing!" Hau shouted.
"Seeming we don't have an official system of qualification set up just yet, we will be inviting past winners of the Island challenge and those that excelled as well in it. Trial captains and Kahuna's automatically qualify. And trainers that complete the trial's this year will be in a shot to win."
Ash grinned at Kukui.
"Hmm, I actually believe there might be someone taking on the trial right now. We should have a look." Kukui suggested as he took the three inside.
The hallway was very long as Kukui escorted the trio down despite Hau was here yesterday already. They could see Molayne looking through a viewing screen.
"Oh Kukui, Ash, Lillie and Hau. You've just arrived in time to see the end!" Molayne explained.
The group moved over to the viewing screen to see none other than Zach standing in the room with his Lucario and a midnight form Lycanroc.
The two Pokemon were back to back as they scanned the room completely.
"They may be slow but they pack a punch!" Zach shouted out to his Pokemon.
Ash noticed a short and overweight gingered haired boy in the corner on a tablet.
"Is that the trial captain over there?" Ash asked Molayne.
"Yep. That's Sophocles over there." Molayne explained.
A blast of electricity was fired out of the darkness of the roof as both Lucario and Lycanroc jumped out of the way. A magneton and a Magnezone appeared with the duo electric steel type looking like they had already taken some damage.
"Mag! Mag! Mag! ZONE!" The totem Magnezone cried as it fired a flash cannon at Lycanroc.
"Stone edge as a shield!"
The midnight variety of Lycanroc slammed his fist into the ground as a rocky pillar appeared in front of the red wolf. The flash cannon hit it directly and spilt apart on contact.
Zach pressed the Z-ring on his wrist as orange aura surrounded Lucario.
"Lucario! All out Pummelling!" Zach commanded as the Aura Pokemon roared into the air as he let loose the wave of punches.
The electric types struggled to move fast enough to dodge as eventually the damage was done with both falling to the ground unconscious.
"YES! We didn't!" Zach celebrated.
"Lcy!"
"Cari!"
Sophocles walked over and handed him a yellow Z-crystal.
Molayne opened the door as everyone walked in with Zach turning around to notice who it was.
"Ash! Lillie and Hau!" Zach said as he walked over to them with Lycanroc and Lucario.
"Congratulations on the victory Zach." Ash said to the Unovan born.
"You guys here for the trial as well?" Zach asked.
Hau shook his head.
"Nah, I did it yesterday. Ash though…" Hau smirked.
Sophocles turned to Ash.
"You are Ash?" the ginger asked.
"Yeah?" the kanto born responded back with a confused tone.
"You don't look that tough."
"You Sophocles?" Ash asked back, slightly more aggressive.
"Indeed I am."
Ash sighed as it was going to be one of those days.
"Let my trial do the speaking thanks." Ash told him as Sophocles grunted.
"Hmph, whatever, I would like you to even try and understand my trial!" Sophocles smirked.
"Excuse me, but did I say something to you to offend you?!" Ash protested.
"Tsk, follow me if you have the guts." Sophocles told him as he sat down on a chair.
"Your trial is simple. I'll play a noise and you guess it! All battles are double battles without argument thank you!"
"I wasn't arguing…" Ash grunted through his teeth.
Molayne, Lillie, Hau and himself moved behind the glass to watch the battle.
"Your first sound!"
It was a very familiar sound with a happy tune to it. But he couldn't pin what it was.
"Hmph! You are no match for this tri-"Sophocles announced before being cut off by Ash.
"That would be the healing sound from a Pokemon centre." Ash answered as Sophocles gave a semi shocked look that he got so fast.
"Ho-How did you get it so fast!?" Sophocles.
"Dude, ever trainer has heard that sound before." Ash responded as Sophocles groaned, whilst flicking a switch on the wall as a green light above them turned on. It was just one of three.
The room flickered back and forth into darkness as at one point it stayed in darkness to quickly return to light as Ash found himself surrounded by four little bug like Pokemon. They each were grey with 3 stubby legs in each side with two large pincers under its eyes.
Rotom appeared to explain about the bug like Pokemon.
"Grubbin, the larva Pokemon. Grubbin's strong jaw enables it to scrape trees in order to collect food for itself as the large population of the species lives underground. However, they tend to often live near or with electric type Pokemon to avoid common predators such as flying type Pokemon."
Ash looked at the four bugs and smirked.
"Alright then. Salandit! Dartrix! Come on out!"
The fire poison type and the grass flying type appeared as Salandit hissed fire at the bugs while Dartrix's did a backflip on arrival out of the pokeball.
"Salandit! Smokescreen! Dartrix, fly out of it and use leafage around them like a ring!"
Salandit created the tactical cover as Dartrix flew into the air and out of the made the flowing ring of leafage.
The smoke cleared away as the Grubbin's used bug bite and Vice grip on Salandit who tried her best to fight all four of them off.
"Dartrix! Fly over and grab Salandit! While in the air, Salandit use ember at the lowest heat possible!" Ash shouted as Dartrix flew into the air.
"Why would he set his own attack on fire?" Lillie questioned as Zach and Hau looked at each with a confused look. The older men in Kukui and Molayne smirked.
Salandit spat out the embers as little glowing flakes as they caught on to a few of the leaves created by leafage. However, it wasn't long till each leaf was on fire as the ring got closer and closer.
"Finish this!" Ash yelled.
Dartrix flung one of his quills into the ring of fire as it lost all control of being in a form of ring and swallowed the four bug types up with the fire burning them and the remains of the sharp leaves cutting them. All four were shot out at a violent speed, knocked out completely.
Sophocles jaw dropped as all four Grubbin ran off as fast possible.
Salandit cried happily while Dartrix cleaned his feathers from any dirt that might have gotten on them.
"To the next sound then…" Sophocles said dejected as his first part of the trial was wiped away so easily.
The sound this time was of a Pokemon that you could tell it was electric due to its sound.
But again, Ash knew the sound instantly as he has the annoying bastard living him.
"That would be Rotoms cry." Ash answered.
"DAMMIT! How did you know!" Sophocles whined.
"That thing has been a pain in my arse the day I got him." Ash explained.
"Heard that." Rotomdex responded.
"Good, you were meant too." Ash snapped back.
"Love you too." Rotom snapped back as Ash rolled his eyes.
"Hehe, I see those two still have some differences…" Kukui laughed.
"Don't get me started…" Lillie moaned.
As before the room flickered between darkness and the current light as two Pokemon appeared this unlike the four from before.
They were green and very cuboidal with two brown little stubs as legs on each side. Its mouth was silver and sharp with it going downward on the front of its face with its eye being light blue.
"Bus, the bus Pokemon. It's literally a bu- "Rotom joked instead of giving the correct info with Ash groaning.
"Rotom, come on." Kukui called out.
"Fine!"
"Charjabug, the battery Pokemon and the evolved form of Grubbin. They are known for storing electricity and are considered very useful for camping or other activities far from any source of electricity, however can be a pain to move around due to the Pokemon being very slow thanks to its short legs."
"Cha-r-r-r-rja!" the duo beeped.
"Back in there now guys!" Ash told his Pokemon who both glared at the bug electric types.
The two Charjabug's charged up and let out a spark attack, hurling it right at Salandit and Dartrix.
"Fly out of the way Dartrix and Salandit, block it with flamethrower!" Ash told them.
The two did as told with Dartrix now in the air.
Ash thought back to what Rotom said about its speed and looked at Dartrix.
"Dartrix! Dive in with wing attack and be prepared to dodge. Get both their attention!"
Dartrix flew downwards with both wings glowing, smacking both the bugs before they realised what was going. They both turned to Dartrix, forgetting about Salandit completely.
"CHARJABUG! Behind you!" Sophocles yelled.
"Flamethrower!" Ash shouted as Salandit let out the beam of fire. The two trial Pokemon didn't even get time to turn around and find out what had happened and returned out of the attack burnt and unconscious.
"THIS IS NOT FAIR!" Sophocles complained.
"I mean, I'm just trying to win." Ash muttered to the ground as a second green light went up.
"GRR! This next one won't be so difficult! Sound and Pokemon!" Sophocles shouted in anger.
It was the cry of a Pokemon Ash had never heard before but sounded very like Grubbin and Charjabug's thanks to the electric vibe it was giving.
"Checkmate Kanto boy!" Sophocles smirked as Ash rolled his eyes.
"Rotom, lead a hand." Ash whispered to the dex.
"And I get what out of it?" Rotom questioned.
"HEY! That's cheating!" Sophocles complained.
"Shut it. You've done nothing but complain today." Ash growled before turning back to his Pokedex.
"Nothing cause you're expected to do it or do I have to get the professor to change some settings?"
Rotom's screen flashed an explanation point.
"NO! No, no, no! The cry was a Pokemon called Vikavolt!" Rotom panicked.
Ash turned back to Sophocles.
"Vikavolt." He answered with having no idea what Vikavolt was.
"THIS. IS. NOT. FAIR!" Sophocles shouted having a tantrum on the floor.
"See what I mean be difficult." Hau whispered to Lillie.
"Yeah, he was like this for me as well but not this bad." Zach explained.
"Maybe I should go lead a hand…" Molayne said out loud.
"Molayne, he has to learn from these mistakes. Besides, it's just the heat of the moment." Kukui explained to his old friend.
Molayne just nodded.
"FINE! THAT'S IT!" Sophocles yelled as he pressed the button with a Grubbin and a Charjabug appearing but the roof opened up with something zooming down through it with a familiar orange glow to it.
The Pokemon stopped moving as growled intensely at Ash.
It was a dark blue with a robotic like orange face with glowing yellow eyes. Its wings flapped violently with two legs on each side coming off its main body. On the end of the body was a fleshly like structure that slightly glowed yellow. Coming off its face was two large spikes with mini but sharper spikes in the inside.
"VIKAV!" the Pokemon roared.
"Vikavolt, the stag beetle Pokemon, the evolution of Charjabug and the final evolution of Grubbin. It flies around fast to observe all possible locations it can electrocute thanks to the powerful source of electricity stored in the abdomen on its back. It creates rail like charges through the two spikes coming off its face. Vikavolt is known for its rivalry with Pinsir."
The Vikavolt flew all over the place.
"Let the totem fight begin!" Sophocles yelled as Charjabug used charge on Vikavolt with Grubbin keeping watch to make sure the opponent doesn't attack.
"Shit. Flamethrower Salandit!" Ash swore as Salandit fired the Flamethrower at the evolution line. Vikavolt however, released a powerful discharge to block the move completely and made sparks fly everywhere.
Charjabug used spark while Grubbin used string shot to slow the duo down but Salandit kept burning it while Dartrix sliced through it.
"Smog and Leafage!"
The poison cloud floated over but Vikavolt moved out of the way in time while the other two didn't due to their speed as they were trapped inside the cloud with the onslaught of leaves coming at them. Once the cloud faded, Grubbin was knocked out while Charjabug was just holding on.
Vikavolt floated down near Charjabug who used the last of his power to use charge to give Vikavolt that extra little boost.
Charjabug fell on to his side as Vikavolt fired multiple electro balls at the due.
Ash slammed his Z-ring with the red flare moving around Salandit.
"Inferno overdrive!" Ash yelled as Salandit created the ball of fire as it grew bigger and bigger. Vikavolt didn't move as the ball was released, moving towards the totem.
Vikavolt created a sphere of electricity around it as the inferno overdrive devoured it.
Everyone gave a look of uncertainty as Vikavolt was yet to respond from the attack.
That was until a large discharged was fired right at Salandit and Dartrix with the latter managing to dodge just in time. Salandit, however, wasn't as lucky and flew into the air as Vikavolt zoomed out of the remains of the Z-move with mere scratches.
Everyone gave a look of shock as both Sophocles and Molayne smirked.
"Bu-But that was a super effective Z-move! Vikavolt should be on the ground!" Zach exclaimed.
"You see. The thing about Vikavolt is that it can store enough electricity to form a protect so powerful, it can block even the strongest of Z-moves." Molayne explained to everyone as they turned back to the battle.
Vikavolts two front spikes glowed green as it charged at the falling Salandit.
Dartrix tried to help by throwing his quills at Vikavolt but the bug simply moved out of the way as it rammed Salandit with a powerful bug buzz.
The fire type crashed in to the ground with swirly eyes as Vikavolt returned to the other side now glaring for blood at Dartrix.
"You did everything you could girl. Take a nice rest." Ash said as he returned Salandit.
"Alright Dartrix. Just us now." Ash said to the starter.
"Trix!"
Vikavolt again, let loose a wave of Electro balls.
"Dodge then use leafage!" Ash shouted as the bird moving out the way of each of the electro balls and let out the leafage attack with Vikavolt simply burning them with electricity.
Dartrix glared at the electric totem and grabbed the one of the leaves that acted as bowtie and pulled on it. To pull on it really hurt and he stopped as soon as he saw Vikavolt flying in again.
"Wing attack!" Ash yelled as his flying type's wings glowed white while Vikavolt charged in with a bug buzz attack.
The two collided, doing damage to one another as they both cried in pain. Dartrix twirled around and began to fling his quill darts at Vikavolt but again, the stag beetle Pokemon just dodged them. Dartrix again tried to pull on the leaf, making it budge a little more but this cried in pain from doing so.
"What is Dartrix doing!?" Hau questioned.
"I don't know…" Lillie said with concernment as the odds weren't in Ash's favour as it stood right now.
Kukui on the other hand, had a conflict look on his face, trying to decide between two things that might have driven Dartrix into doing the self-harm to himself.
Either was going insane or…
"Dartrix! How you are holding?" Ash called out as Dartrix panted with Vikavolt charging again at him. He tried to pull the leaf a bit more but caused the antagonising pain to himself.
As Vikavolt moved closer, Dartrix tried again to fling his quills at Vikavolt but as the same result, the bug was just too fast. The totem slammed into Dartrix and electrocuted him at the same time as the bird fell on his with the bug flying back again to the other side.
Sophocles smiled as Dartrix showed no sign of getting up.
Everyone behind the glass looked in shock as Lillie covered her mouth. Kukui smiled as he had decided on what he believed was going on.
"Too faint and pass out to a world of darkness known as sleep then come back as fighting ghost. Heh." Kukui said out loud as everyone looked at him with Molayne catching on.
"I see Dartrix is unable to battle and I am superi- Huh?" Sophocles began to brag until Dartrix rolled on to his stomach and got up slowly.
"Dartrix! I don't want to see you get hurt anymore! You can barely stand!" Ash said to his Pokemon.
"Datri!" the bird moaned as he sloppily fired the quills at Vikavolt.
"Finish this Vikavolt already!"
Vikavolt shocked the flying quills and had the look to finish this.
"TRIX!" Dartrix cried as he yanked on the same leaf again, pulling it out so much it was loose and fired a quill off it like a bow.
The quill hit Vikavolt directly with it giving the totem no time to react.
Dartrix began to glow white as everyone gasped with the bird growing bigger. The white glow soon turned purple as it merged off the evolution of Dartrix and became an arrow which the new Pokemon grabbed and fired right at Vikavolt, with the bug slamming to the ground.
Dartrix's evolutions wings were now brown with three circular feathers like fingers at the end of each wing. His body was still white but the bowtie leaves he had as a Rowlet and Dartrix was now loose and dangling down with four large brown feathers forming a cross over top of them. His head and upper body was surrounded by leaves, almost like a cloak with a single brown feather on top of his head.
Ash grinned as the new Pokemon stood defensively with his wing covering his body.
"Decidueye, the arrow quill Pokemon, the evolved form of Dartrix and the final evolution of Rowlet. Decidueye drops the flying typing for ghost for reasons scientists are yet to understand. It can draw its feather arrows at a tenth of a second, meaning it is ready to attack before the opponent has even processed what was happening. Nobody has ever seen a Decidueye miss its target before, being able to fire its arrows from distances up to 100 yards away."
Ash was surprised that Decidueye loses the flying type but with ghost gives him immunities to both normal and fighting.
"That purple arrow it used was known as spirit shackle, a move only Decidueye can learn, locking its target in to battle." Rotom explained.
Ash nodded and grinned at his new Grass ghost type.
"Spirit shackle!" Ash called out.
Decidueye fired the purple arrow as it slammed right into Vikavolt. Sophocles now had a nervous look.
"Get close and use it again!" Ash commanded with the bird fading away into the shadows to re-appear. He kicked Vikavolt in the face with a powerful strike, flipped upside down and fired the arrow at point blank range.
Vikavolt fell again and this time, struggled to get up.
"Leaf blade!"
It was attack after attack as Decidueye slammed both wings at Vikavolt with the bug trying to flee, trying to escape the onslaught of attacks. Next was a buffed-up Leafage with it managing to now cut up the hard covering around Vikavolts body. The arrow quill Pokemon slammed his foot on Vikavolts head, smashing it on the ground, got it underneath his head and flicked it up in to the air with very little resistance, firing another arrow right in to Vikavolts chest as the bug landed on the ground with now no movement. Decidueye faded away and reappeared back in front of Ash with his wings folded like arms.
"YES! We did it!" Ash celebrated as he wrapped his arms around Decidueye and ruffled his feathers.
"Dyu!" the bird cried.
Everyone from the glass walked in as Sophocles flicked a yellow crystal towards Ash who just caught it.
"There, the Electrium-Z. With you will have access to the Z-move, Gigavolt havoc." Sophocles explained with a bit of annoyance.
"This is from me as well. As a former steel trial captain, I use to give these out. The Steelium-Z to use Corkscrew smash." Molayne explained as handed one to Ash, Hau and Zach.
"And these are from me." Kukui announced.
"Huh?"
"You see Ash, Hau and Zach. You all have Pokemon that have access to special Z-moves." Kukui explained.
"Special?" Ash questioned as Kukui dropped a green crystal with a feather symbol in it.
"Decidueye, Incineroar and the final evolution of Popplio and Brionne, Primarina all have a special Z-move only they can use." Kukui explained.
The professor handed one to Ash and another to Hau. They were for Decidueye and Primarina.
"I won't be needing the Incineroar one. Litten wants to prove his strength as he is." Zach explained with his starter next to him.
"Hmm. Then perhaps Ash could make use of it, seeming his Torracat seems close to evolution?" Kukui suggested.
"Yeah go for it." Zach said passing him Incineroars Z-Crystal.
"Wow! So many new Z-crystals." Hau laughed.
"MOLAYNE! MOLAYNE!" A scientist yelled. "ITS BAD! LIKE VERY BAD!"
"What's up?" Molayne said confused.
"Gu-Guzma was spotted in Malie garden!"
Everyone instantly changed from a look of happiness to a sense of dread.
"Hmm, why don't we test these bad boys out?" Ash suggested to Hau and Zach.
"Count me in. I'm in for some revenge after the tournament." Zach announced.
(Meanwhile, at Malie Garden)
Skull grunts were all over the place as Guzma and his Golisopod rested on a golden bridge. Near was a woman with pink and yellow hair.
"Sir, what exactly are doing here might I ask?" the lady questioned.
Guzma smirked.
"I got bone to pick with A LOT of people Plumeria. I could read you the whole list, but I'll leave it short and say Kukui is on top." Guzma explained as he watched his crew wreak the garden.
Plumeria sighed.
"Is there ever going to be a day when you tell us what happened?" She asked.
Guzma looked at Golisopod.
"One day. Not today."
The team skull boss turned as saw a group walk towards them as he smirked.
"Right on time as always Kuk!" Guzma shouted out as the gangster grinned sadistically at the professor. "Oh? What's this? Brough the crew along as well. Eh, more fish for me to fry then!"
Golisopod began to grow and stepped forward with Guzma forcing his arm in front.
"Guzma! You have no reason to be here!" Molayne shouted.
"Oh, just my luck! If it isn't the class nerd, mister four eyes get everything right!" Guzma taunted.
"We'll take you on!" Hau shouted.
Guzma just grunted in response.
"Stay out of this kid. Leave this to the adults. You beat once but I didn't care if I lost. Kukui was out so it was redundant by then." Guzma shouted as Plumeria stood beside him.
"Admit it Kukui! You are the reason I am like this and you know it!" Guzma laughed.
Everyone turned to the professor who had a straight look on his face.
"Would it be within your interests to observe a purely destructive force? If so, then look no further than right in front of you, for if destruction was a human, then it would be me, your trustworthy acquaintance, its yah boy!" Guzma yelled as he pointed at the group.
Golisopod stepped forward and fired a wave of pin missiles at the group.
Everyone dodged out of the way as Ash brought out Decidueye, Hau got Raichu out and Zach released Lucario out as the three all got into defensive stances.
Plumeria through a pokeball forward as large blue Pokemon appeared with purple spikes piercing out of them. Two front parts lifted up as a purple face appeared with a sadistic grin.
"Toxapex, the brutal star Pokemon and the evolved form of Mareanie. This Pokemon can survive on both land and in the ocean but is more commonly found at the bottom of the sea floor. It is known for eating Corsola as pieces are left behind. Its poison is so intense, it will leave the victim in agonising pain for three days and three nights without proper treatment. Even with it, after effects will soon come in full flood."
"Decidueye! Spirit shackle!"
"Raichu use iron tail on Toxapex!"
"Lucario, attack with bone rush!"
Decidueye fired the arrow at Golisopod with the arrow hitting directly at the hard scale Pokemon. Lucario slammed the bone on Golisopod who caught it the second-time round. He snatched out of Lucario's hands, placed it behind his neck, snapped it in half and used razor shell twice before throwing Lucario into the air. The aura Pokemon landed in front of Decidueye and got up shakily.
Raichu flew in as his tail glowed silver.
"Baneful bunker!" Plumeria shouted.
Toxapex lifted his two legs down as the body glowed purple and the spikes grew longer.
Raichu slammed his tail into Toxapex but did nothing as he felt a sharp pain emerge from his tail up to his body.
"Golisopod! Surf!"
"Use sludge bomb!"
Golisopod made the wave as it crashed into everyone was the poison infused with the water as they jumped out of it.
Raichu groaned in pain as the poison from Toxapex was kicking in.
"Raichu! Thunderbolt!" Hau commanded as Raichu unleashed the electric energy.
"Golisopod brace yourself…" Guzma muttered.
The thunderbolt crashed down on the enemy Pokemon. Toxapex tried to shield himself but didn't realize Raichu was zooming at him, resulting in the alolan form to slam in to him as the electric psychic type flew pass, turned around to attack Golisopod who stayed completely calm.
"NOW! First impression!" Guzma shouted.
Golisopod's eyes lit up as his claw glowed a murky green as he slashed his claw into Raichu. The electric instantly fade away that was around Raichu who landed in front of Hau. Both Toxapex and Golisopod has paralysis but Golisopod only had it around his arm.
"Raichu!" Hau shouted as he kneed down next to his out cold electric type.
"Close combat Lucario!" Zach shouted as Lucario's fists glowed blue as he charged at the two.
"Poison the ground to make it slippery!" Plumeria said as Toxapex spewed the poisons on the ground as soon as Lucario stepped on it and slipped over. Thankfully, being part steel, the poison didn't affect him. But now Lucario had Golisopod standing over him.
Golisopod placed his claw around Lucario's neck as Golisopod uses a powerful brick break in the lower half of Lucario's body.
"Razor shell!" Guzma shouted.
The bug water type slammed Lucario on the ground and proceeded to slash at Lucario as the fighting steel type lost conscious.
Golisopod picked him up and threw him up near where Raichu landed.
"Well, Kuk! Seems your little pets are failing against a reject right here!" Guzma shouted out.
Kukui looked at him.
"It was your own fault Guzma!"
"IT WAS NEVER MY FAULT! BLAME GUZMA FOR THIS! BLAME GUZMA FOR THAT! ARHHHHHHH!" Guzma shouted at the top of his lungs, while pulling at his hair.
"Guzma! Please stop before you hurt yourself!" Plumeria pleaded.
"Tsk. What is there left to hurt Plume!" Guzma groaned.
Ash looked down at his Z-ring with the green Z-crystal with the feather arrow in it.
"Let's do this." Ash said to the grass ghost.
"Deye!" Decidueye responded as they both stepped forwards.
"Hmm? Oh, it's you." Guzma groaned.
Ash slammed his Z-ring as purple, ghost like aura fused with Decidueye who pulled out three arrows.
"Decidueye! Finish this with Sinister arrow raid!" Ash yelled.
Decidueye fired the three arrows at Toxapex and Golisopod as they glowed a faint purple as they twirled around the two. Eventually, each arrow split into three more and so on. The force of the building storm of arrows was so strong, it managed to lift the two up and twirl them around in the arrow tornado that was slowly building. Loose leaves flew in and glowed green as the tornado was at full force.
Guzma and Plumeria watched helplessly as they listen to the cries of pain from there Pokemon who were getting cut up in the tornado.
Decidueye plucked one more arrow and pulled it back off the vine like bow. Except this arrow glowed a violent green with green sparks flying off it. He let go and fired it towards the tornado as he turned around with his wings folded. As soon as the arrow touched the tornado, it exploded with the whole park shacking.
Golisopod and Toxapex both crashed into the ground, unconscious as Plumeria looked shocked and Guzma with no expression at all.
The duo returned there injured Pokemon and fled.
Guzma ran a bit and turned.
"This isn't over…" Guzma muttered through his teeth.
"Woah. That was amazing…" Lillie exclaimed as Decidueye cleaned his wing.
"Professor? What happened between you and Guzma?" Ash asked as it began to spit rain.
Kukui sighed.
"I'll tell you when we reach the Pokemon centre and get healed up."
Author's note: And here we go Chapter 33.
A lot went down.
Real life stuff first.
Dusk Lycanroc. Mixed opinions but I see it as a positive.
Why?
We are now getting USUM News.
Mimikyu is also speculated to be getting a new form due to having the same placeholder as Lycanroc (which was Dusk) plus the next anime episode is about Mimikyu losing/destroying his disguise.
Dartrix is now Decidueye. We see Zach again. They all get the Electrium-Z and Steelium-Z while Ash gets Decidueye's Z-crystal and Incineroars one, meanwhile Hau gets Alolan Raichu's and Primarina.
I know Vikavolt is slow in game but we haven't seen it yet in the anime so we will pretend is fast.
Guzma is here again.
Reason why Sinister arrow raid isn't what you might be use to is the fact I reckon Decidueye's burst attack in Pokken looks way cooler and decided to switch that around and make the arrow tornado his Z-move.
Regarding the Eevee poll, their is two clear favorites with one ahead by just a little but I'll leave it up for a bit more so till now and next chapter, you will have the opportunity to decided Eevee's fate.
Next chapter is something I didn't plan till it came up with a conversation with a friend and thinking back to somethings said in the game.
Look forward to Guzma's past ;)
So till next time. Review, Suggest or PM me! Spectre out.
