Chapter 6: The Fighting-types versus the Poison-types (part 1)
As Pikachu, Snivy, and their armies prepared to go to the Kanto region to face the fighting-types, the general populous cheered for them to unify the Kanto-Johto region. However, what they did not know is that while their generals were signing the pact unifying them, the poison-types, led by their own general, Nidoking, had invaded the Kanto region during a thunderstorm. This army has hidden in a cave on the northern shores of the Kanto region and waited for the storm to pass so that they may move south and sneak their way towards the fighting-types´ position near Viridian City. As they were getting close, one of Lucario´s generals, Hawlucha, spotted them in Pewter City and rushed back to him to tell him of the unexpected company. When news of the poison-types´ arrival in the Kanto region arrived to the main camp, everyone but Lucario was frightened to hear that they were in danger. Lucario simply laughed, as though he expected this sort of thing to happen. "I have to say, I´m impressed. Coming here by the cover of a thunderstorm... an excellent assault strategy from their leader." he started. He then grinned and turned to Hawlucha. "Hawlucha, take a small army of two hundred Panchams with you to combat this enemy. The rest of the army will soon arrive, surrounding the poison-type army in a crane formation." he said to his trustworthy general.
"Alright then. We´ll meet them in a fish scale formation in the meantime. Hopefully, this small army can hold out just in time for you to come in, my lord." Hawlucha replied as he then took two hundred Panchams with him and headed back towards the poison-type army. This small army met two thousand poison-types outside of Pewter City, right before the entrance to Viridian Forest. Nidoking, seeing Hawlucha and his men, laughed. "I expected to be fighting a much greater army of fighting-types." he said as he prepared to attack. He then noticed the fish scale formation that the enemy was in. "Well, looks like we´re focusing on defense, aren´t we?" he said mockingly.
"Oh, don´t underestimate us. We´re much tougher than we look." Hawlucha replied.
"Yes... so I´ve heard." Nidoking then said as he signaled for his army to line up in a key chain formation. Hawlucha had a determined look on his face as the key chain formation was set up. "That´s a mistake on your part." he said.
"Oh, is it? Or is it a way to neutralize your little fish scale formation?" Nidoking replied.
"Well, we shall see now, shall we?" Hawlucha said as a battle horn then sounded. Some of Nidoking´s army, consisting of Gulpins and Trubbishs started rushing towards Hawlucha´s army. "Stand your ground, men. Today, we show our opponent our fighting spirit." Hawlucha then said to his men as he led the counter attack against the rushers. He used Hone Claws to increase his attack stats, and then used Karate Chop against five Gulpins. The Panchams saw how quickly the Gulpins were dealt with and gained courage. They then attacked the rest of the rushing Pokemon, alternating between Arm Thrust for the Gulpins and Comet Punch for the Trubbishs. Within a matter of a minute, the poison-type rushers all fainted while the small fighting-type army experience only three casualties. "Hmm... I have to admit. That was pretty impressive." Nidoking started, acknowledging the strength of Hawlucha and his men. "However..." he then said. "That was only one hundred of us. You have yet to see the power that poison-types are capable of." And with that said, Nidoking sent one of his generals, Arbok, along with five hundred poison-types to deal with Hawlucha and his army of 197.
