Hey everyone! This chapter is mainly a battle scene, and personally I don't think that I am very good at describing the battle scenes, so sorry! Read and enjoy! OH yeah, and PLEAAASE R&R ME! Then, I will probably want to finish chapters faster if you guys R&R, oh, and special thanks to Scribbles and dbzgtfan2004 for all of the support! THANX GUYS!
Breakfast was over. Everyone went into their rooms to change into their bathing suits so that we could go to the beach. Except Brock, he was busy feeding the pokemon and cleaning up the kitchen. He said he would meet us there later, though.
I opened the door to my closet and pulled out a pink and orange bikini. I quickly put it on glancing at my reflection in the mirror. 'Oh great, Misty, your hair looks like crap. How are you going to impress Ash with that?' I tried styling it up in the side ponytail I always had it in, but then decided to just leave it down. It actually looked cuter like that.
Soon, we were all gathered by the door ready to leave. "Alright, so is everyone here yet?" May asked impatiently. "Yeah, I think so, oh well let's go," I sighed. We all rushed out the door and left the house.
Once we reached the beach, I laid my towel out in an open, sunny spot and sat down. The others joined me soon after. Gary sat on his navy blue towel beside me; on the other side of him was Max. Max was sitting, and figures, reading a book. On the other side of me was May and beside her was Ash, 'OF COURSE!' I decided to try and be nice to her.
"Hey, May, who was that guy Drew Max and Ash were talking about earlier?" I tried to sound like I cared. "Oh, nobody, he's just a boy that I used to lose against in competitions until this last one I entered. He is really good at coordinating, and other things involving pokemon." May said as she smiled and stared of into the ocean. "In other words, she's in love with the guy. Dunno why, but I do know he likes her too!" Max said laughing. "SHUT UP I DO NOT!" May screamed as her face started to turn red with embarrassment.
"Yeah, Misty your just like May, you both love someone but you are too afraid to tell them!" Gary said smirking. "What is that supposed to mean?" I said turning my attention towards Gary. "Nothin, just that you are to big of a wuse to admit that you like me." That was the last straw, he has made jokes about me for the last time. I am taking a stand, NOW! "That's it Gary! I have put up with your stupid jokes and lame sense of humor long enough!"
I stood up and shoved my finger in his face as I held a Great ball above my head. "I say we battle! If I win, YOU leave ME ALONE! AND you STOP making jokes about me liking you, cause I DON'T! Do we gotta deal?" He stared up at me for a second, then he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a Poke ball, "Deal, but if I win, which I assure you, I will, then"- He paused for a moment, then he grinned and looked over at Ash for a second as they both stared at each other. "-Then YOU have to go out with me, Misty. Do we have a deal?"
Ash glanced at Gary and gave him a menacing stare, and then his face filled with anger and frustration as he moved his gaze towards me. "Are you really going to do it?" Ash asked me as he stood up and clenched his fists. "Of course, it's payback time for Gary. Ash, don't worry, I'll win, I ALWAYS win. I haven't lost a battle yet. Gary will probably be no problem. I mean, YOU could hardly beat him, so I SHOULD be able to!" I smiled at Ash as he gave me his 'not so sure' look.
"Ha, ha, not very funny, Mist." Ash's face turned solemn. "But you better win…." He said, more to himself than to me. 'Why does Ash suddenly care, oh I get it now. It's Gary, he hates when ANYONE hangs out with Gary. Figures that he doesn't really care.' I thought.
"Alright, fine, deal. Let's battle. Right here. Right now!" I shouted throwing my hand up and pointing my finger towards the sky. "Okay, is a three-on-three battle alright with you, Mist?" I grinned, "Yeah, sure. But just remember not to get too used to calling me that. Cause after I win, you stop with the nicknames."
"Yeah, yeah, okay. We need a judge, though. Brock, Max? Does one of you two wanna judge?" Gary asked looking over at were max was sitting and then glancing up at Brock who had just arrived. "Sure, I guess I will." Brock replied as he got in position on the side. I walked in the opposite direction that Gary went and took my position as well. 'Say g'night, Gary, cause I'm about to take you out.' I thought aloud.
"Alright, let's get it started! Go Tropius!" Gary called out as he tossed a Great ball into the air. Within seconds, a 6'7" tall brown and green colored dragon-like creature appeared, with a long neck and short stubby legs. It looked to weigh in at about 221lbs. It had three green leaves shooting out of its back, and had yellow fruit hanging from its chin. Its head was also green as well as around the end of his neck to his body.
"When did you get a Tropius, Gary? What happened to your Arcanine and Nidoking?" I asked in amassment. "Heh, I still have them, but this guy here is a grass type. You, have water type. I mean, come on Mist. I'm not stupid enough to go against a water pokemon trainer with a fighting type or a fire type pokemon. That's a move only someone REALLY stupid could make, like Ash for instance." Gary said chuckling. "Now make your move, Mist. I don't have all day." Gary insisted impatiently.
"Alright, go, Kingdra!" I yelled as I tossed an Ultra ball into the air. There was a flash of light, then, a sea horse-like pokemon emerged. It was a light blue dragon-like, sea creature. He was about 5'11" tall and weighed in at 335lbs. Its fins were white and had strands of blue hanging off of them and waving in the wind. Its nose was pointed forward, his eyes staring at its opponent with its deadly reddish eyes.
"Go Kingdra, use Hyper Beam!" I called to the dragon as it began to attack. A ball of red, yellow, and blue started to form at the tip of Kingdra's nose. Suddenly, it shot out lashing towards the defenseless Tropius at the other end of the beach. "Okay Tropius, dodge that attack with Fly!" Gary yelled. As soon as the Hyper Beam attack was only inches away from Tropius, his three leaves shot back and lifted the grass pokemon high up into the clouds.
"Oh no, Okay Kingdra, get ready for a surprise aerial attack!" I warned the dragon-type pokemon. Soon enough, Tropius emerged from his hide out in the clouds, and came racing down out of the sky headed strait for Kingdra. "Quick Kingdra, use Twister!" Kingdra began to spin around faster and faster until finally he was inside of a raging tornado. It worked.
Tropius lost site of Kingdra, and was shot to the ground by the Twister. "Good job, Kingdra! Now use Hydro Pump!" The raging twister disappeared as Kingdra drew back his head, and shot it forward as water came raging out from his nose-hole. It shot at full speed right at Tropius. What luck! It was a direct hit, too! "Okay, Tropius, we've played around long enough! Now use, razor leaf!" '
Tropius was weakening from the head on attacks, but his attacks didn't show it. They were still really strong, probably because Kingdra is a water-type pokemon, and Tropius is a grass-type, and grass is strong against water-types!'
The attack hit Kingdra by surprise and sent him shooting back. "Okay, now, Tropius, use Hyper Beam!" Tropius drew his slender head back readying himself for the blow. Soon, just as it happened with Kingdra, A ball of red, yellow, and blue appeared for a second, and then shot out of his mouth straight for Kingdra!
"Okay, Kingdra, let's finish this! Use, Ice Beam!" Then, a ball of pure white ice and blue crystals formed at the tip of his nose. It started to shine with a yellowish gold glow, and then it shot out lashing forward heading straight for its opponent. As soon as the attack was released, Tropius's Hyper Beam attack crashed into Kingdra sending him flying backwards. Then, sure enough, the Ice Beam attack shot into Tropius sending him back as well.
"Okay, both pokemon are unable to battle! But, Misty's Kingdra DID fall first. So, the winner of the first round is—Gary Oak! Sorry Mist." Brock announced in sorrow. "WHAT! That is NOT fair! How could Gary beat ME? Humph! Oh well, I'll beat him next time." I said sighing. Then I turned towards my poor, almost unconscious Kingdra.
"It's alright, buddy. You did really well. If he wasn't so strong, you could have beaten him. They had an advantage on you since he was a grass-type pokemon, so you did really well. You deserve a good rest, so, here ya go! Return!" I said calmly as a flash of light engulfed Kingdra and brought him back into his Poke ball.
"Okay, round TWO! Opponents, choose your next pokemon, and remember, chose wisely." Brock stated. "Alright, I choose you, Rhydon!" Gary shouted as he threw a Great ball into the air. A flash of light revealed a 6'3" tall ground type pokemon. He must have weighed about 256lbs. It was a grayish brown color, with a tan stomach and a long, almost black colored tail.
He had a long, sharp horn on the tip of his nose and his body was covered in a rough rock-like layer. His eyes were set in my direction. I then heard a strange rough sound that I then found out was coming from the pokemon. It opened its mouth and made a warrior call, "RHHHYYYYDON!" His open mouth revealed two extremely sharp fangs almost as sharp as his claws.
"Okay then, Go, Corsola!" I shouted as I tossed a Net ball in front of me. Suddenly, a Pink coral-like pokemon appeared from the ball. It was about 2'0" tall and weighed 11lbs. She had three horns sticking up from her back with two spikes on each of them. On her head was another horn as well as two a few inches below her mouth that she used as hands. Her belly and her four stubby, little legs were a whitish blue color, but the rest of her was covered in a light pink color.
As soon as the little coral pokemon was released, it let out a loud, high pitched, "CORSOLLLAAAA!" then it glanced at me for a moment and let out a loud sigh and then smiled brightly. I smiled back at her as we both glanced across the beach at our competition. "Alright Corsola, are you ready to beat these losers?" I said looking back down at the lovable little pokemon. "LAA, Cors, Corso." She replied with a smile. So I knew what she meant.
"Good, then let's get this battle over with, starting with, Bubble Beam!" Corsola let out another adorable yelp of her name, and then relinquished a fast beam of bubbles from her mouth. "CORSO- LLAAAAA!" She cried as the bubbles crashed into Rhydon. "Okay, quick Rhydon, use Mega Horn!"
Rhydon stood in a daze for a moment because of the damage from the last attack, but soon the sharp horn on his head began to glow a bright gold color. And then, Rhydon started charging towards the defenseless Corsola. He stopped a few feet in front of her, and then threw down his head at a rate faster than you could blink. His horn crashed straight into Corsola's side as she called out in pain,
"COOOORRRRRRSOLLLLAAAA!" I covered my eyes for a moment because seeing an innocent pokemon like Corsola get attacked isn't something I liked to see, especially since she's one of my favorite pokemon. "Okay Corsola, use Recover! Then, attack that Rhydon with, Spike cannon!" Corsola then started to glow a bright whitish color as she used recover to rejuvenate herself.
Then, she faced Rhydon again and began to glow once more. But this time, it wasn't a whitish glow; it was a pink, blue, and yellowish glow. Suddenly, she curled her face under her feet so that her back was facing towards Rhydon. Then, she shouted towards the sky as spikes flew from her back straight towards her opponent.
Before Gary could call a counter attack to Rhydon, he was hit head on with spikes. He yelled out in pain for a moment, and then stood breathing hard trying to recall what happened, since it happened so fast, and to store up some energy to ready himself for another attack. "Okay, Rhydon, use Rock Blast!"
Rhydon stood up straight again, and stomped his feet on the ground for a moment before shouting as loud as he could, "RRRRHHHHYYYYYDDDDOOOOONNN!" Soon, like a telepathic power, rocks started hurling at Corsola. One hit her for a moment, and a thousand more were coming.
"Okay Corsola, use, Mirror Coat!" Corsola glowed yet again but this time it was a purple like glow. Then, all of the rocks that were being hurled towards her, stopped in mid air for a moment when they reached Corsola, and then shot back at Rhydon. He was hit again, and again, until finally all of the rocks were back on the ground and Rhydon was trying to force himself to keep standing and not faint.
"Okay, Rhydon use, Horn Drill!" Rhydon started breathing hard again, and then his horn started to spin around faster and faster until suddenly Rhydon was practically lifting himself off of the ground he was charging so fast towards Corsola. In fact, he was going so fast, I hardly saw him attack. But he did, I knew he did, when I heard Corsola yelp in pain. "COOORR! SOOOOLLAAAAAAAAA!" I felt so bad; finally I decided to do a double attack and defense move.
"Okay Corsola, this battle is almost over! So hang in there! Use Recover, then use spike cannon once more as hard as you can! Finally use Bubble Beam attack!" I shouted my commands as she followed them by glowing to use Recover. Finally she let out another happy Cry, "CORSOLAAA!" She smiled at me, and then rolled into a ball as her back shot spikes out towards Rhydon.
"Okay, quick, while they're distracted, use Bubble Beam! And make it a strong one!" She came out from her ball, and drew her head back. Suddenly she cried, "COR…..SAA…..LLLLAAAAAAA!" As she let out a stream of fury bubbles quickly heading towards the lingering Rhydon that was about ready to faint. Finally, the Bubble Beam reached the opponent knocking him from his feet onto the rough, sandy, beach.
"Rhydon is unable to battle; Misty and her Corsola are the winners of the second round! Prepare yourselves for round three!" Brock declared to the group as a few of them clapped. "Awesome teamwork skills, Corsola! Return for now, you deserve a long rest." I announced in glee as the little pink pokemon let out a yelp as she disappeared inside of the Net Ball. "CORSOOOLLAAA!"
"Alright, Mist, time for the final round. Prepare to lose, come on out, Grovyle!" Gary threw a Great Ball into the air as a flash of light reveled a wood Gecko Pokemon. It was about 2'11" tall and weighed about 48lbs.
His bottom jaw all the way to the end of his tail is red. The rest of his body is a lime green color. On his hands, there are three small dark green leaves on each of them as well as two dark green leaves as a tail and one on the back of his head shooting back. His eyes were yellow and he had two sharp clawed-fingers and two sharp toes. "GRO. VYL, VYLVYL-GROVYLE." The pokemon stated calmly.
"Alright, my turn. Go, Azurill!" I shouted as I threw a Luxury Ball out onto the field. Suddenly, an adorable blue baby pokemon appeared. It was about 0'8" tall and weighed about 4lbs. He was a little blue mouse-like pokemon that sat on top of its big ball-like tail. He had little white circles were his cheeks are and big black eyes.
He was smiling up at his trainer, me, which is something he does a lot. Normally, I would carry him around everywhere and never put him down, but then Tracey gave me a luxury ball for him, so then I decided to put him in his ball more often so that my pokemon won't think that I am picking favorites with them.
"Okay, Azurill, use Bubble." I said in an almost-baby-voice. Azurill rocked back and forth on his tail for a moment before relinquishing his Bubble attack. He opened his smiling mouth and an array of bubbles came single file out onto the field and carried themselves over to Grovyle, who just stood there confused for a moment. Then, the Bubble attack hit him, and hit him hard. It sent Grovyle flying backwards. Then, he stood up angry now.
"Okay, Grovyle, payback time. Go, use Leaf Blade!" Suddenly, Grovyle lifted himself into the air and pulled back one of his arms. Then, the three leaves on that hand started to glow yellow until he struck Azurill with it. Azurill went flying back into me. "Are you okay, Azurill?" I asked the hurt little pokemon. He looked up at me and smiled again, and then replied, "RULL AZUR. RILL RILL!" I smiled back at him, and then looked back up at our opponents.
"Okay, Azurill, use Ice Beam!" Azurill shoot itself forward as a ball of hard blue crystals and white ice started to form and glow in his mouth. Suddenly, without warning, it shot out of his mouth and went straight towards Grovyle. He was thrown back for a second, but then he stood up again, this time panting and trying to gasp for air from the hard blow.
"Go Grovyle, use Furry Cutter, and then Slam!" Gary commanded as Grovyle approached Azurill once again. "Azurill use Water Gun!"
Azurill did as I commanded, but it had hardly any effect on Grovyle. He kept charging closer and closer to Azurill, until finally he was inches away. Grovyle jumped into the air above Azurill, this frightened the baby pokemon, and then came crashing down on him while repeatedly pulling back his arm and striking Azurill with his leaves. This went on 4 times.
Then, Azurill started to linger back and fourth when the Grovyle went back to his position on the other side of the field. I could hear my heart in my ears, and it felt like my stomach was in my throat because I couldn't breath or speak for a brief moment. 'No, Azurill, PLEASE don't faint. If you lose….then I have to'- Suddenly the Grovyle attacked again but this time he used Absorb.
The little blue mouse-like pokemon fell to the ground and looked up at me with tears in his eyes. 'NO!' I though in my head. "That's it! Azurill is unable to battle! Gary and his Grovyle are the winners!" Brock announced as everyone around got silent.
I felt myself slip to my knees on the smooth, hot, dry sand next to Azurill. "Good try, he was too strong for you. It's alright, Azurill, time for you to take a break." I lifted up the luxury ball as a flash of light pulled him inside of it like it did to the others.
I sat like that for a long time, not knowing what else to do. Then, suddenly, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. "Good battle, but like I said, I'm the best. I knew I would win! So, ready to go on our date, Mist?" Gary asked glancing down at me wit a smug grin on his face.
"I-I-I guess….. That I have no choice, do I." I stated solemnly. With that, Gary grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. "Good, then let's get out of here." He turned around to smile at Ash,"See ya, Ashy-Boy!"
