High on top of Mt Silver a heated battle is going on with two powerful trainers.

The trainer with the red cap sends out a large pokemon with a big belly that takes up most of its body.

"Snorlax!" yawn the sleeping pokemon.

"A Snorlax," the trainer with the black and gold hat said. He thought for a while than he took out a pokeball and returned his Pidgeot. Gold then send out a long red serpent like dragon. The dragon serpent roared its presence.

"This is my Gyarodos. I caught him when Team Rocket was sending signals that cause pokemon to evolve and anger them," inform Gold. Red just stirred when he said team rocket.

"Team Rocket. I thought they were disband three years ago," Red replied in a serious tone.

"They were trying to bring Team Rocket back but they failed because I stopped them," Gold grinned at Red.

This trainer defeated Team Rocket... I thought Giovanni gave up his evil ways Red decided to put the subject away and got focus on the battle.

"Snorlax lets start with Belly Drum." Snorlax started to pound its chest to maximize his power while hurting himself in the process.

"Gyarodos his Snorlax must be weak by using Belly Drum. Use Aqua Tail," Gold call out. Gyarodos lift its tail and water started to twirl around it. A red band tied around his tail began to twirl in the direction of the Aqua Tail.

"Snorlax use Rest to regain health." The sleeping pokemon fell on its back and started to do what they are known to do a lot, sleep. Gyarodos smacked Snorlax in his stomach with his tail making Snorlax flinch in its sleep.

"Gyarodos now power up with Dragon dance. Don't stop until I tell you to." A dark red aura surrounded Gyarodos increasing its attack and speed stats.

"I'm not going to let you. Snorlax Sleep Talk," Red remarked. Snorlax got up on his feet and ran as fast a Snorlax could ever run with his fist glowing white.

"Gyarodos Dragon Pulse." The red serpent fired a blue-greenish sphere from its mouth striking Snorlax in his stomach. Being strike by an attack, Snorlax lost its focus and the glow on its fist disappeared. Snorlax collapsed on his back with snot bubble coming out of its nose.

-"Ahh…Chesto Berry Cake. (Snore) Leichi Berry Pie mmm…"-mumbled Snorlax in his sleep with drool coming out of his mouth. Gyarodos sweatdrop and began using Dragon dance again.

"Snorlax use Snore this time." Taking a deep breath Snorlax did a giant Snore that it started to damage Gyarodos. Gyarodos recovered from the attack quickly and prepared to launch its next attack. Snorlax begin to stir in his sleep. He let out a big yawn before standing up ready for its next command.

That Pokemon is lazy but packs a lot of power and he is very sturdy Gold thought. "Gyarodos do your Rain Dance." A blue orb began form in gyarodos's mouth. He fired it into the sky making a large blue explosion. After the explosion, rain soon started falling down. Typhlosion put on his angry scowl because he was going to get wet again. Gold notice his Typhlosion expression and returned him in his pokeball before he would start going on a rampage.

"Snorlax Rollout attack," Red commanded. Curling into a ball Snorlax began rolling towards the red serpent.

"Gyarodos keep him back by using Hydro Pump," Gold countered. Gyarodos fired water at high pressure from its mouth at the rolling pokemon. The Hydro Pump kept Snorlax from moving any further. Gyarodos was using all its strength to hold Snorlax back. As Snorlax's Rollout attack keeps on getting stronger every second, he begins to push back against the water attack. Snorlax's Rollout soon becomes so powerful at it went through the Hydro Pump as if it was nothing.

"Gyarodos stop your attack and use Giga Impact," Gold quickly commanded. Gyarodos immediately stopped his Hydro Pump. A purple sphere began swirling around his body began to form. He began charging at Snorlax with his Giga Impact. When both powerful attacks collided a white flash blinded both trainers. When the light faded a cloud of smoke blocked both pokemon from view. As the smoke began to clear Snorlax came into view. He was badly bruised but he still manage to stand up. The smoke clear up and Gyarodos was lying in a crater motionless.

"Gyarodos!" Gold shouted in distress. Gyarodos's eyes slowly open up to Gold's voice. Grunting in pain as he slowly picking himself up; Gyarodos gave Gold a nod and turn to his foe. Raising its tail the red bandana turn out to be a Focus Band.

"Focus band. It sometimes will give a pokemon the determination to survive an attack that can knock him out," Gold explains with his hands in his pocket. "Gyarodos lets make this count. Use Taunt."

"Use Rest Snorlax," Red said as quickly as he can.

-"Going to sleep during the battle. What a wimp. Fight me like a real pokemon you fat ass,"- Gyarodos taunted. Snorlax got mad at Gyarodos that he didn't obey Red to use Rest.

Now I can't heal Snorlax. He is weak so I am going to finish him. "Snorlax use Body Slam on Gyarodos," Red order. Snorlax jumped in the air and landed on top of Gyarodos. For gyarodos this was the last straw. Gold return his unconscious Gyarodos.

"Pidgeot lets end this," Gold announced sending out his bird pokemon. "Air Cutter Pidgeot."

-"Geez give me a chance to make my entrance,"- Pidgeot barked back. Pidgeot open his wings to fire his attack. The Air Cutter pelted Snorlax making him curl into a ball to reduce the damage.

"We can't hide forever. Snorlax use Body Slam." Getting on his feet Snorlax did another giant jump that looks impossible for his size. Still being hit the Air Cutter he slam into Pidgeot and both began to fall towards the ground. Snorlax landed on top of Pidgeot with thud making a crater.

"Snorlax get up on your feet." Rolling on to his side Snorlax push himself onto his stubby feet. Pidgeot was nowhere to be found where Snorlax landed. There was only a hole in the crater.

"Now use Air Slash my clever Pidgeot," Gold ordered maintaining his usual smirk. The bird flew out of a hole behind Snorlax with a white light surrounding his right wing. Pidgeot was so wet that he went slower than his normal speed because the water weigh him down. Pidgeot slash at the air firing air that cut the giant pokemon's back. Snorlax let out grunt and fell onto the ground face first unconscious.

"That caught me off guard," Red remarked returning his pokemon.

"My Pidgeot went into the hole that was already made by my Ampharos. When he was falling he position himself to fall straight into the hole. There was water inside tunnel so Pidgeot got wet. Sorry about that, Pidgeot," Gold apologized to his Pokemon. Giving him a glare Pidgeot began shaking off the water in his feathers.

Well time for my most annoying pokemon Red thought. He sent out a large grass pokemon. With what look like a palm tree on its back this pokemon looked like a tropical pokemon. Standing on four legs and with warts it looked like a frog.

Another rare starter pokemon. Red has two rare pokemon Gold thought jealously. He took out his pokedex to learn more about it. "Venusaur, the Seed Pokémon. Venusaur uses its large petals to capture sunlight and convert it into energy," inform the Pokedex in its robotic tone. I think I am going to stick with Pidgeot.

"Venusaur use Mix Spore." What does Mix Spore do? Gold pondered but than he shook his head. I think I don't want to find out. Venusaur started to shake his red flower and purple, yellow, and white spores began to float towards to the bird. The rain washed away the spores before they even came close to Pidgeot.

"Ha, your attack didn't work cause of the rain. Try using something more suited for the rain," Gold recommended.

"Venusaur let's change the weather. Sunny Day," Red smirked thinking how his strategy going to go.

"Pidgeot use the Heat Wave and Whirlwind combination," Gold ordered. "Wait! Let's call it Heat Storm. Yea, that sounds good. Pidgeot Heat Storm." Firing a red sphere from the middle of its flower into the sky Venusaur made the clouds disappear thus stopping the rain and making harsh sunlight to hit the area they are fighting. Pidgeot used Heat Wave while using Whirlwind to power-up the attack. The attack hit Venusaur head on and did a lot of damage due to his weakness against fire and flying attacks. A green glow surrounded Venusaur and his plant grew even bigger due activating his ability Overgrowth.

"Venusaur Solarbeam," Red calmly order. Venusaur aim his plant at Pidgeot and fired a light green beam that strikes the bird in his chest. Pidgeot fell to ground cover in water cause of the rain. Pidgeot started to get up but suddenly fell into the water again.

"Venusaur now heal with Synthesis." Venusaur's body glowing white began healing himself using the sun's rays.

"Pidgeot are you okay," Gold shouted concern for his pokemon. Gold observe his Pidgeot who had his eyes close and was snoring. What is he…sleeping! Wait when he used his Mix Spore attack it was a probably combination of Poison Powder, Stun Spore, And Sleep Powder. He wasn't aiming at Pidgeot. He was aiming for the water Gold came to the conclusion. Looking around he saw that the whole battlefield was cover with water. All this water is contaminated. I must be careful not to get affected by the water. I must send a pokemon that flies and I need to figure a way to get rid of this water.

"Pidgeot returned." Returning his pokemon with one hand while he sending out another with his other hand. "Go Togetic." A white fairy like pokemon took Pidgeot's place. With her tiny wings flapping she was able to avoid the water below her. There were blue and red triangles on the bottom half of her body. The top of her head looked like a crown.

-"Yay another battle,"- happily cried Togetic. Togeticbegan twirling around in the air.

"Hey Togetic. Avoid the water below at all times. The water has status afflicting affects," inform Gold. Togetic gave him a nod and turned towards Venusaur.

"Togetic use your Extrasensory," Gold quickly demanded. Togetic began by raising her arms in the air and her eyes turning pink. A glow the same hue of pink as Togetic's eyes surrounded Venusaur. He grunted in pain as he began to get stretch apart by psychic powers. Togetic soon got tired and dropped Venusaur on the ground.

"Leech Seed." In the blink of an eye Venusaur shot a Leech Seed from his flower. The seed hit Togetic in the middle of her chest and began sprouting vines. The vines wrapped around her body and stop her wings from flapping. Togetic fell in the water because her wings were immobile. The fairy pokemon soon fell asleep.

Damn, another one inflicted by the status water. I need to get rid of the water, but how…? Looking around Gold just saw water but then saw a boulder protruding in the water. I think I got a plan but it might not work. What other choice I have?

"Return Togetic," Gold recalled his Togetic.

"Venusaur recharge yourself." Venusaur with a white light surrounding started using Synthesis to heal himself.

"Ampharos I need you," Gold announced sending his electric pokemon on the boulder. "Listen the water contains status affects. I'm going to need you to get rid of it."

-"That is quite a trick. But I shall make it go away,"- Ampharos got in his battle pose.

-"What a weirdo"- mumbled Venusaur. -

What does he think he can accomplish with Ampharos. He can't even move around a lot. He has something plan. Got to stop him! "Venusaur full power Solarbeam," Red yelled.

"Ampharos use Light Screen." The lighthouse pokemon raised his arms to make his Light Screen. The Solarbeam slam into the Light Screen but Ampharos didn't fall into the water.

"Now Ampharos I need you to use Dig to make a tunnel. There is piece of dry land behind so you can start," Gold pointed at the ground that was too high for the water to reach. Ampharos did a back flip and landed on the dry dirt. Not wasting a second, Ampharos started to dig into the mountain.

So that's what he was planning. He is going to drain out the water by making a tunnel. I couldn't see behind that boulder to know there was a patch of dry land. I need to stop him Red thought.

"Venusaur stop him by using Petal Dance." Lower pedals shot from Venusaur's plant and destroyed the boulder leaving it in crumbles. Ampharos was nowhere in sight and in his place was a hole protruding in the ground.

"Venusaur take him down with your Earthquake," Red coldly said.

"What? AMPHAROS WATCH OUT!" Gold loudly warn. Venusaur got on his hind legs and slam his front legs into the ground. A shockwave made the ground shake violently and Gold fell on his ass. Red didn't even flinch from the earthquake. When the shaking subsided, Gold quickly got up on his feet.

Red retrieves a pokeball from his belt. "Do you need a pokemon to get your Ampharos out of the ground?" Red offered through his pokeball in the air and catching it with his the same hand.

Is my Ampharos already down? No, I must believe he is okay. I trust my pokemon. Ampharos does have a move to protect him from the Earthquake. Gold turn his head to Red and smirked.

"That won't be necessary, Red," Gold replied in a confident tone. Red raised an eyebrow in confusion. Red observes the water for any movement but sees nothing. Red was about to release his pokemon to save Gold's pokemon when a giant green sphere shot out from the middle of the pool of contaminated water. The water began to drain into the hole. The green sphere landed on in front of Gold and dematerialized. A yellow pokemon that was inside the sphere let out a cry.

-"Did you think a small shake would stop a great magician like me? I always have a trick up my sleeve,"- Ampharos asserted raising his flipper like arms in the air.

"Im…impossible! That was Protect right," Red stammered. Getting his act together, Red put on his serious face.

This the last time I going to underestimate him. I am going to go all out from now on. I have two pokemon left and he has four let. I can not let him defeat me so easily. I will live up to my name as Red the trainer from Pallet town! Red changes his face from a frown to a smile.

"My Ampharos has lost of tricks up his sleeve. Like this one. Ampharos use Heal Bell," Gold order. Ampharos grabbed his tail and began to shake it. A soothing sound of a bell chiming started coming from Ampharos tail. The sound started to cure Gold's pokemon from status affects.

"Venusaur Frenzy Plant," Red cried pointing at Ampharos. Venusaur started to glow a bright green light. He slam his front legs into the ground making giant vines sprouted out of the ground below the light house pokemon. The vines wrap around Ampharos crushing his body. Letting his last cry Ampharos fell unconscious.

"Thanks Ampharos. Your work won't go to waste," Gold complimented returning him. Gold release his Pidgeot in the air. The clouds in the sky began to cover the sun causing the snow to fall on the battlefield again.

"Pidgeot use Heat Storm while Venusaur is immobile," Gold quickly commanded. Pidgeot fired his Heat Storm at Venusaur who couldn't move due to the recoil from the Frenzy Plant. The attack hit the giant plant pokemon in his face.

"Giga Drain Venusaur." Recovering from the attack Venusaur began sucking energy from Pidgeot and using the energy to heal himself. Gold watch his Pidgeot fall to the ground with a daze look on his face. Gold return him before he hit the ground

"Thanks Pidgeot. I couldn't ask anything more from you," Gold quietly said. Pidgeot was heavily damage from the battles he fought in. It is reasonable for him to get knock out by a weak attack Gold thought.

"Well it's up to you. Go Togetic." Togetic materialized in front of Gold's twirling around happily. It's not call the happiness pokemon for no reason Gold thought.

"Venusaur capture him with your Vine Whip." Two long vines extended from Venusaur's back to wrap around Togetic's little body. The fairy pokemon grunted in pain as both vines began to squeeze her body.

"Razor Leaf while he is under your grip." Venusaur fired sharp leaves from his plant.

"Magical Leaf Togetic." Togetic fired his own set off sharp leaves with psychic powers to control their movement. Both attacks cancel out each other.

"Togetic try to escape with Shock Wave." Togetic released electricity from all parts of its body. The electricity got conducted by the vines and travel to Venusaur. Getting shock by the attack he let go of Togetic. Flapping her tiny wings Togetic flew towards Gold's side of the battlefield.

"Togetic use Future Sight. Then Air Slash that overgrown plant," Gold remarked.

"Venusaur fire another Sunny Day," Red order. Both pokemon began there moves. Togetic closed it eyes and started to see into the future. Venusaur fire another red sphere from his back into the sky. Shortly sun rays started to engulf the field. Once the fairy pokemon open its eyes a white glow began to form on her right wing. She charges at Venusaur to get close enough to fire the attack. Red waited before Togetic got a few meters away to take action.

"Now Venusaur," Red loudly exclaim. A green vine shot out of his back and capture Togetic again. The white glow on Togetic's wing disappeared. "Now Sleep Powder."

He fell right in to my trap Gold thought. "Togetic protect yourself with Safeguard." Venusaur released his Sleep Powder from his plant. A white glow surrounded Togetic than it vanished. The Sleep powder fell on Togetic but she didn't fell asleep due to the Safeguard.

"Now give him an Encore, Togetic." Struggling in the vines Togetic clap its hands together and a clapping crowd could be heard all around the filed. The clapping made Venusaur blush and he started fire Sleep Powder over and over again.

Now I can't tell him to do another attack. He will just keep firing Sleep Powder until the Encore wears of. Red bitterly thought.

"Togetic get out of Venusaur's vines." Togetic got of the vine with little trouble. The vine dropped to the floor while Venusaur was to busy to notice Togetic has gotten out.

"Now Air Slash in his face." Togetic slash the air with her wing sending her Air Slash right into Venusaur's face. Venusaur flinched from the attack.

"Keep using Air Slash." Togetic kept on firing a barrage of Air Slash at Venusaur. Venusaur took every Air Slash and countering with Sleep Powder. After a few Air Slash attacks a green glow surrounded Venusaur and his leaves grew bigger. The clapping also began to die down ending the Encore.

"Venusaur Sludge Bomb." Venusaur open his mouth and shot out a big pile of sludge at Togetic. The sludge hit the Light Screen and exploded on contact. Togetic dropped to the ground. Some the sludge got in her eyes. She tried to get it out by rubbing her eyes.

"Venusaur finish her with Frenzy Plant," Red commanded. Venusaur slam his front limbs into the ground. Thick vines shot out of the ground covering Togetic. Yelps of pain could be heard from the vines. When the vines untangled an unconscious body was laying on the ground.

"Togetic!" Gold cried out to his fainted pokemon. In the sky a white flash appeared. A purple thunderbolt came down and hit Venusaur. Venusaur let out a cry and fainted.

"That was Togetic's Future Sight. She sees into the future and fires an attack into the future," Gold explain retrieving Togetic in her respective pokeball. "You did good Togetic," Gold complimented.

Red returned his fallen pokemon. He congratulated on his Venusaur's hard work.

I thought it will come to this. Time for my trump card Red thought. Red slowly got a pokeball from his belt. He pushed a button on it to enlarge the pokeball.

All comes to this Gold thought. He got his last pokeball ready to fight.
