CHAPTER 15:

Attack of the Biker Dudes!

"There they are… you sure about this, boss?" a person in classic biker wear asked a tall, bald man in the same attire on a motorcycle as they both spied on Roy and Melanie.

"They defeated Team Aqua and Eon, so it'd be good for the Bike Gang. Send some members to challenge them." the boss of the "Bike Gang" replied.

"Yes, sir." The member saluted, then rode away on his motorbike.

Melanie and Roy were walking along Route 110, below Cycling Road. Presently, two people on motorcycles came rumbling up to them. They both pulled out a Poke Ball, calling out:

"Hold it, kiddies. You may call us Biker Bros. 1 & 2! Were you the two who kicked Team Aqua and Eon's butts?"

"Yeah. Want our autographs?" Melanie asked, smiling smugly.

"No, we want a battle! With both a' ya'! Go, Grimer!" 1 cried.

"Grim-er!" called Grimer. It looked like a pile of purple sludge with arms and a black mouth.

"EEEYUUU!" Melanie screamed.

"You too, Slugma!" shouted 2.

"Slug-ma!" droned Slugma in its low voice.

"Okay, it's time to battle! Carvanha, I choose you!" Melanie yelled, throwing out Carvanha's Poke Ball.

"Car-r-r-r-VANHA!" Carvanha snarled.

"Machop, come on out!" Roy called out.

"Ma-chop!" Machop said, back flipping.

Battle statistics: This is a two-on-two tag battle with no time limit or substitutions.

Roy's Machop and Melanie's Carvanha vs. B.B. 1's Grimer and B.B. 2's Slugma

BATTLE COMMENCE!

"Slugma, start with Harden!" said 1.

"You too, Grimer!" ordered 2.

Grimer and Slugma both shone in bright metallic color for a brief period, boosting Defense.

"Carvanha, use Water Pulse on Grimer!" Melanie shouted.

Carvanha opened its mouth, shooting out a blue ball of water, which turned into a wave, splashing Grimer, taking off about ¼ of his HP.

"Machop, use Rock Slide on Slugma!" Roy commanded.

Machop stomped the ground, making rocks fly up and drop on Slugma. The attack nearly knocked it out, reddening its HP.

"Grimer, Sludge Bomb!"

A toxic purple gas emitted from Grimer's mouth, which took on the form of several spherical shapes. They all bombarded Machop, doing some good damage.

"Slugma, Flamethrower!"

A burst of orange flames shot out of Slugma's mouth, engulfing Machop. The attack didn't do all that much, though.

"Machop! Finish this with Rock Slide!"

"Carvanha! Use Water Pulse!"

A wave of water knocked out Slugma, and a big rock hit Grimer in the right place, for it knocked it out.

"No! Grr… return, you two!" the brothers growled in unison, making Grimer and Slugma return to their Poke Balls in red flashes of light.

"Just you wait! Our boss will battle you next!" They rumbled away.

Roy and Melanie had rushed to the outskirts of Mauville City, where they saw the Bike Gang Leader.

"Ready for your last battle on this Route? Or anywhere?" he asked in his gruff voice, chuckling.

"Yes! Bring it off, Mr.!" Roy shouted.

"Bring it on, sonny. Call me Robert. You shall use two Pokemon against my one, got it? Muk, do it!"

"Muuuuk!" yelled Muk. It was a bigger purple blob of… muck. Like Grimer, but bigger.

"Marshtomp, do it!" Melanie yelled, throwing out Marshtomp's Ball.

"Marsh!" called out the Water/Ground-Type.

"Nosepass, go!" Roy shouted.

"Nose-pass!" grunted Nosepass.

Battle statistics: This is a two-on-one battle with no substitutions or time limit.

Melanie's Marshtomp and Roy's Nosepass vs. B.G.L. Robert's Muk

BATTLE COMMENCE!

"Muk, Sludge!"

A ball of sludge was coughed at Marshtomp by Muk.

"Marshtomp, use Mud Shot!" Melanie ordered before Marshtomp was hit.

Marshtomp spit a ball of mud at the oncoming Sludge, making it disintegrate. The Mud Shot continued toward Muk, which was hit by the super effective hit.

"Nosepass, Earthquake!" Roy shouted.

Nosepass stomped, making brownish-orange vibration rings shoot all over. Marshtomp was hit, but wasn't hurt that much. Muk, on the other hand, was hurt badly, since all Ground moves were good against it. Only ¼ of its HP remained.

"Muk! Use Brick Break on Nosepass!"

Muk's fist began glowing brown-orange, and he hit Nosepass. It took ½ of his HP away, regardless of high DEF, because Brick Break was super effective.

"Nosepass! Earthquake!"

More rings shot from where Nosepass stomped again, hurting Marshtomp, KO'ing Muk!

"No!" Robert cried, quickly recalling Muk.

"YES!" Melanie and Roy cheered, hugging each other. They soon noticed and broke apart, blushing.

"Fine, you may pass." Robert muttered, riding away on his motorcycle.

Nosepass and Marshtomp were recalled, thanked, and put back into their Poke Ball slots. Roy and Melanie ran on to Mauville City's Pokemon Center, ready for sleep and… the next day.

Author: I thought I should make at least one weird Chapter name. Hey, weird author, weird Chapters. (Record needle scratches) That didn't come out right. Next Chapter is Roy vs. Wattson!
