Pokemon: The Distorted Trinity
Season 1: Re-Education
The Evaluation Battle, Part 1
"He better not miss our battle!"
Wyatt muttered angrily as he looked to the bottom bunk where Ken usually slept. It was Friday morning, the day the entire school would be engaging in their evaluation battles. Although it was a good chance for the teachers to figure out how they should handle curriculum for the year students found a certain joy in it as well. It was a perfect chance to see where one stood amongst others in their class as well as learning more on their potential competition in the future.
The bed had been made nicely and Ken was nowhere to be found. His things and pokemon seemed to be gone as well. "That kid, he must have left early to train or something." Glaring at the clock for a short moment, Wyatt grabbed his things as well and set out to the school building.
Once inside he followed other students towards the school main battlegrounds and where the battles would be taking place. The evaluation battles would be split into four different battle testing grounds; two for the Red students and two for the Blue students. This fact that seemed to catch Wyatt off guard as he entered the second Red battleground where his own fight would be taking place.
Upon entrance he approached a boy with a large silver afro and also wearing an Entei Red coat along with black trousers and shoes. "Hey, Jason, have you seen my room mate?" The boy he had spoken to quietly shook his head and continued looking over to where a battle was currently taking place.
Wyatt frowned and cross his arms. "You know, I'm already annoyed that he's missing at a time like this, your quietness isn't really helping." The afro head didn't responde for a moment before saying, "Sorry, I don't really have much to talk about. Your buddy being missing is kind of odd though. Are you sure nothing happened to him?"
Wyatt thought about it for a moment but nothing came to mind, so he shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sure he's fine though. Anyway, what's up with all these Yellow students in the stands? Shouldn't they have some sort of test too?"
Jason shook his head. "Nah, the Yellow students have an evaluation test too but theirs doesn't involve battling, so they took it yesterday. Today's pretty much a free day for them to watch the rest of the school."
The black haired trainer laughed a bit. "How lame, a class without battling at all. I cant believe Kid actually considered being in a dorm like that. Good thing I edited his form after he turned it in."
Jason turned around, his eyes widened for only a moment as he looked at Wyatt. "Well, Yellow students do learn some battling related things, but for the most part they learn information on pokemon and how to take care of them. But you're the reason your dorm buddy is in a different class than he signed up for?"
"I'm only doing what's best for him. Besides, can't really be rivals if he doesn't battle. Don't tell him though. Something tells me he'd be pretty mad if he knew."
Jason looked back to the battle ground for a moment and began to leave the stands. "Seems like my name is up." Wyatt began to smile a bit.
"So I should be coming up any moment now right?" The afro head shrugged his shoulders, mimicking what the freshman had done earlier. "Sorry, I don't know. These things usually take all day though." Wyatt seemed to instantly deflate at hearing this but looked out to the arena in anticipation of Jason's fight.
The referee looked to both students. Jason's opponent was a girl with short black hair and of course in Red jacket along with jeans and running shoes. "Battle between second year student, Taylor from Goldenrod City and second year student Jason Jenson of Oreburgh will now begin!"
Jason was the first to release his pokemon. "Tyrant, prepare for battle." On the field appeared a small dark green reptilian like pokemon with a large horn on the top of its head. This pokemon was soon recognized by Wyatt's pokedex as Larvitar. "Come on out, Lickitung!"
"Tyrant, Stealth Rock!" The Rock Skin Pokemon didn't waste a moment as its eyes began to glow. Moments later large stones began to float out of the ground and surround the ring. The moment the rock type finished however, Likcitung was standing right before it, the pink pokemon's tongue glowing brightly. "Brick Break!" Taylor commanded.
Larvitar was just barely able to dodge the devastating blow launched by its opponents tongue before following up with an attack of its own. "Tyrant, while its body is open, Iron Head." The pokemon's rocky exterior seemed to turn into steel as it collided with Lickitung's side with it horn and sent the normal type skidding back along the dirt.
"Lickitung and I are just getting started. Water Pulse!" Jason gritted his teeth as the Lickitung fired an orb of water at Larvitar. "Counter it with Ancient Power!" The rock/ground type's eyes began to glow again as more stone were lifted from the field, these however circled around the small pokemon before firing at Lickitung.
Upon impact with the water pulse attack several stone had shattered, but after repeated blows the water type attack finally lost power and burst to the floor in a puddle. There was little time to celebrate however. "Lickitung, wrap!"
The normal types tongue extended from its mouth and managed to coil around Larvitar, completely restricting its movements. "Now, Brick Break!" The Lickitung nodded in response before swinging its glowing tongue overhead and slamming the rock type into the ground. Larvitar seemed to be barely holding on to consciousness.
Jason didn't seem to be giving in. "Tyrant, Bite!" The pokemon opened its jaws and bit into Lickitung's tongue. "Lickitung, just hang in there, this will finish it! Water Pulse!" Despite the pain going through the pokemon's tongue it managed to fire off another sphere of water, this one rolling down the length of its tongue and slamming into Larvitar with full force.
"Larvitar is unable to battle! Lickitung is the winner!" The ref raises his flag as Jason returned his pokemon. "You did great out there Tyrant. Now, Sand Shark, put this pokemon in its place!" He threw out another pokeball and released a dark blue creature with several fins and spikes along its body. Wyatt didn't need to scan this one on his pokedex. "Woah, that's a Gabite. So cool!"
Once the battle began Jason was quick to go on the offensive. "Sand Shark, Metal Claw!" The dragon type's claws began to glow and appear to turn into some sort of steel as it rushed towards Lickitung.
"Water Pulse, go!" Lickitung fired off another sphere of water, but Gabite easily managed to avoid this mid charge and slashed at the normal type's side; the same spot where Larvitar had struck earlier. Lickitung fell to a knee due to the pain.
Back in the stands Wyatt's eyes had widened at the sight of this. "That Gabite is pretty strong, and fast as well. It must be one of his more trained pokemon."
"Sand Shark, finish this with Body Slam." The Lickitung opened its mouth and attempted a wrap attack but was cut short as Gabite's body crashed down on it hard. The pink pokemon was crushed to the ground and lied there, unconscious.
"Lickitung is unable to battle! Gabite is the winner!" Taylor pouted and pulled out another pokeball while returning her first. "I'll show you! Your pokemon might be powerful, but it has a huge weakness to ice types! Go, Delibird!" Her next pokemon was a small bird with a red body and white feathers.
Taylor smiled triumphantly, but that soon faded as the stones surrounding the field all flew at flying/ice type and slammed into its tiny body with force. It was now Jason's turn to point his opponent's flaw. "You forgot about Tyrant's stealth rocks he set up at the start of the battle. Your little bird just took about four times the damage it normally would from Stealth Rock. Which means this should be more than enough to end it. Take Down!"
Before the wounded bird had a chance to react it was rammed by Gabite and sent flying across the arena. By the time it touched the ground it was already knocked out. "Delibird is unable to battle! Gabite is the winner!"
Taylor seemed to be fuming at this point as she released her final pokemon. "Lunatone, let's turn it around!" This pokemon seemed to be a levitating rock in the shape of a crescent moon and had large red eyes on both sides of it. Upon entrance it was attacked by the floating rocks as well, but fortunately not as badly as Delibird. "Lunatone, Gyro Ball!"
The moon like pokemon began to spin and glow while flying at Gabite on the opposite side of the field. "Sand Shark, meet him head on with Metal Claw!" The dragon type rushed in with glowing claws and collided with Lunatone. As they clashed there seemed to be a power struggle for a short moment before both pokemon were pushed away and across the ring.
"Future Sight." Lunatone's eyes glowed for a short moment. "Confusion!" Lunatone now fired a pulse of psychic energy that managed to hit the dragon type directly in the chest and send it skidding back a bit.
"Sand Shark, let's end this before that future sight attack show up. Metal Claw again!"
"Confusion!" As the dragon type approached again it was hit by another psychic blast, but seemed to ignore the pain long enough to land a power blow to Lunatone and send it to the ground. "Now, one last Metal Claw!"
The dragon type lifted its claws once more and struck the rock pokemon, but at the same moment a blast of energy appeared from the sky and struck Gabite in the back, causing it to hit the floor as well.
The referee approached and lifted both flags up. "Both pokemon are unable to battle. However, Jason Jenson still has one usable pokemon, thus, he is the winner of this evaluation battle!" The afro headed boy returned his Gabite and thanked the referee as well as shaking hands with Taylor.
Once back in the stands he was greeted by the over excited screams of Wyatt. "Woah, that was great! Your Gabite is really strong and even managed to beat that girl's entire team by itself."
Jason scratched his head a bit out of embarrassment. "Well, it was a team effort. If not for Tyrant's Stealth Rocks and weakening that Lickitung in the first fight then things would have ended up much different."
Just then a boy in dirty clothing and messy brown hair stepped into the stands. Wyatt turned around and saw him before Jason and broke into a smile. "Well if it isn't Kid. What's up with those dirty clothes and where the heck have you been? You missed Jason's awesome battle!"
Ken smiled. It seemed this was one of the few times he'd let being called Kid just slide. He instead pulled out a pokeball and presented it to the two. "I managed to catch my secret weapon for our battle."
-The Evaluation Battles have started, and although he has arrived late, Ken seems to have an ace up his sleeve. What could it be?-
Alright guys, that's another chapter done. Hope you liked and you'll read and review.
I'd also like to thank Draco Oblivion for his submission of Jason Jenson, the big star of this chapter pretty much.
See you next chapter~
