Hello, again.
Pokken Round 5, Begin!
Don't own Naruto or Pokemon.
Pokken Round Royale
Nikorra glanced at the other so far winners, trepidation within her. This was going to be a tough match, and not just for it being a battle royale between herself and the other winners.
Said other winners, after all, Gardevoir, Gengar, Kurotora, and freaking Darkrai! A Legendary!
Granted, Gardevoir was more than likely to drop first, but still! That left one that was small, fast, and willing to go for the bits, and two ghosts. One of which could mess with her head in such a way she couldn't truly fight against. If at all.
Either way, this will be tough. Nikorra tensed her stance, ready to move whenever the signal rang. Best to focus on either Kurotora or Gengar.
When the fight officially started, however, they and Gardevoir converged attacks on Darkrai, making Nikorra sweatdrop. Or they can all attack Darkrai and leave me alone...why do I feel offended?
It didn't quite help when Darkrai swung Gengar into Kurotora's path while dodging Gardevoir's attack with relative ease, and without seeming care that she wasn't a part of the 'fight.'
At least until she found Gengar thrown towards her, which allowed "Dark Pulse!" to knock Gengar back. That works.
She barely ducked and rolled when Darkrai suddenly shot at her with his own attack.
"Two can play at that game, Darkrai. Fire Blast!" Nikorra shot the blast before focusing "Shadow Claw!" towards Kurotora, who had attacked with his own copy a little on the low side. "We really need to talk to you about your preferred target areas after this, Kurotora. I need that."
"Darkrai doesn't have one." Kurotora answered, only for Darkrai "Oh really? Dark Void!"
Nikorra couldn't help but blink when a few moments later, Kurotora managed to blush from severe awkward embarrassment and absently say "If that's true, then I'm so glad I'm not a Legendary. Too big."
She...stuck to tossing him out of the arena towards her team. That conversation could wait.
Gardevoir was quick to be knocked out right afterwards.
And now the- Nikorra suddenly froze, paralyzed. Shit!
She tried to glare at the cackling Gengar, only for the paralysis to get in the way. Now she was effectively out until either the paralysis wore off or she was taken out. Dammit! Move!
It was when she managed to face the Ghost and Dark-types that she discovered one little detail: it didn't stop her from preparing an attack. So all she needed was to make sure her mouth was open in the right direction at the right time.
She...didn't expect "INFERNO OVERDRIVE!" to come out instead of "Fire Blast!"
The resulting blast of fire caught practically everyone off-guard, as they didn't quite the attack, let alone how it basically showed up right on Gengar and Darkrai.
Darkrai, being a Legendary, was able to escape with a few burns, but Gengar was as good as fried.
"Overdid it, huh?" Darkrai asked rhetorically, chuckling, "I'll be nice and make this quick, then."
Nikorra grunted as she forced movement, at least she got the craziest idea in her head. If I can just time this right...
"SUCKER PUNCH!"
Darkrai wasn't the only one that blinked when the Dark Void attack he had used was knocked back passed him, notwithstanding Nikorra saying "I missed."
"...you are insane, Nikorra GhostClaw of the Uzumaki." he told her, unnerved. No one was crazy enough to try to bounce a Legendary's attack back! FORGET SUCCEEDING!
Nikorra managed a smirk as the paralysis started wearing off. "I'm an Uzumaki. We're not exactly known for normality."
She then turned invisible and charged in a slight curving run, just barely dodged by Darkrai when she went for "Shadow Claw!"
It was made even worse for the Legendary when invisible clones showed up.
This is just bullshit! Darkrai thought as he dodged continuously, really regretting not keeping his sensory training up to snuff.
Might have helped...maybe...
Didn't matter much, as he out of the blue felt a set grab him from behind and flipped up, backwards, and into the ground, followed by a foot variant knocking him out.
"WE HAVE A WINNER!" came loud and clear as Nikorra powered down, returning to visibility. "In the form of one crazy girl, Nikorra GhostClaw!"
"Uzumaki are known to sooner or later to do stuff like this, Lord Zygarde!"
Nikorra had to face-palm at her mother's words. I sure hope that's not true, for Hikari's sake. Then again, I've never truly been a normal kid, even as Naruto.
Not to hate Gengar, Gardevoir, or Kurotora, but Legendaries in particular aren't known for being stupid. Darkrai would know at least a few ways to handle them in a fight.
Nikorra, on the other hand, has a few things beyond normal Pokemon abilities. Combined with typical Naruto unpredictability, it was a pretty done deal (at least beyond the fact this was a random chapter with absolutely no before-hand ideas for it).
At any rate, after this, we'll be back to Konoha for the next (more canon) mission/arc (and hopefully bigger chapters).
That's all for now. Until next time, please R&R.
