Shayla Nakamura and the Johto Journey

I do not own Pokémon

Chapter 3: And so it Begins! (Part 2)

There we were, on the field that was owned by the Pokémon Center, getting ready for our battle. Mr. Casanova's fangirls were all there, cheering him on while Shayla had nobody there. Many of them glared at her and some even insulted her. She bet they would just love to be in her shoes right now.

"How about a little three on thee? You up to it?" he asked with a smug smirk appearing onto his face. This guy would just love to get punched in the face, wouldn't he?

"Only if you're up to it," Shayla reply with fire bursting out from my mouth.

"Perfect," I carefully heard, well, not heard, but she read the words upon his lips like an open book.

"The battle between Shayla Nakamura from Mahogany Town and Tron Surge from Vermillion City is ready to begin!" Nurse Joy said from the referee stands, "Are the two challengers ready?"

Shayla and Tron gave a quick nod and Nurse Joy shouted out, "Let the battle begin!"

Tron's fans screamed in delight as he sent out his Primeape while Shayla took her Cloyster out on the field. Well, this would be an interesting battle, Cloyster was weak against fighting types, a major disadvantage. But we'll see how this will turn out.

Of course, high and mighty, Tron sent out the first move, an offensive attack, "Primeape use Cross Chop!"

Primeape did what it was told, but Shayla had already had her tactics planned out, "Protect, Cloyster."

So far, Primeape tried using Cross Chop over and over again, but it didn't work, Cloyster remained unharmed. He kept on using it until he grew tired and his speed and accuracy fell. That was her chance, Cloyster's chance to attack.

"Cloyster, use Signal Beam!" Shayla commanded as her Cloyster opened up from his shell and started to unleash the attack at Primeape-from a close distance.

He unleashed the energy at Tron's Primeape and soon enough, Primeape was blasted to the other side of the field and fainted. It was a fairly easy win for Shayla, despite the type differences. "You know, Tron, even though Primeape is a fighting type and Cloyster has a disadvantage against fighting, he still won. Your tactics are like a book, I could read them easily. So try harder and stop being so predictable," Shayla lectured him as he returned Primeape back into his pokéball and got another one out.

"We'll see about that!" he yelled as he threw the pokéball into the air, "Go, Raichu!"

The ball capsule opened up and a golden yellow mouse pokémon started to spark up its yellow cheeks sending an orchestra of cheers and screams from the audience. "Rai-chu~!" Raichu cried out.

That's when Shayla smiled. Perfect, just what I was waiting for, she thought.

"Cloyster, Double Team," she commanded as Cloyster started multiplying into twenty clones. This is where it got good.

"Raichu use Thunderbolt until you find the right one!" Tron said, watching his Raichu unleashing all of its might into the fast-paced electrical waves.

Raichu's Thunderbolt did hit Cloyster and did a lot of major damage, but Cloyster still had a little bit more energy in him. Shayla kept the grin on her face and said, "Toxic Spikes."

And then, Raichu was badly poisoned from the poisonous spike that landed underneath his feet. Shayla then found a smirk creep onto Tron's face, almost like he wanted that to happen. Well then, he just doesn't know the strategies going on in her devious little mind.

"Raichu, here's your chance, use Volt Tackle!" Tron commanded his Raichu.

Raichu then began to speed up at the beat up Cloyster with lighting speed and defeated it. Although the dust on the battle field was covering the two Pokémon, Shayla knew it was time to switch out already. The field then cleared up and from the other side, she saw Tron with a cocky smirk fixed upon his lips. Oh how she hated that smirk, she just wanted to kill it.

She then grabbed Cloyster's pokéball, returned him, and whispered, "You did amazing. Thank you." As she put away his ball back into her bag, she grabbed another one. Shayla then threw the pokéball up in the air and yelled out, "The field is yours, Dragonair!"

The gorgeous dragon pokémon popped out of the ball and started to fix his eyes on the foe's Raichu. Dragonair had to be one of the most disciplined pokémon she has ever met in her entire life. Truth is, Dragonair wasn't her's, it was actually her mother's. Her mother, Neiva only gave Shayla her Dragonair because Neiva thought Shayla couldn't survive with only her Glaceon and Cloyster.

"Go ahead, make your move!" Shayla yelled as she stuffed her fists into the pockets of her white jacket. The only reason she would ever make her opponent make the first move is because it gives you a better chance to lower their attack and defense rates.

Tron gave his signature smirk and commanded his Raichu, "Use Thunderpunch!"

Perfect. Now, wait for it, wait for it. she thought in her head as the electric mouse started to approach Dragonair at a fast pace.

"Hyper Beam, Dragonair!" Shayla ordered as Raichu got in the perfect position-three feet away from him.

Dragonair then began to store up the energy and released it when Raichu was right in front of him, creating another critical hit. Despite the dust blanketing the field, Shayla saw that Raichu was on the verge of fainting. But in the corner of her right eye, she saw that Dragonair wasn't fast enough and the Thunderpunch hit her hard. As the dust clouds lifted up, both contenders were struggling to stand up and everything was so still. Silence was blaring through Shayla's ears as she continued to watch Dragonair suffer from the pain. And soon enough, in a slow five seconds, the two fell down slowly...very slowly.

Shayla, still struck with shock, stumbled to find Dragonair's pokéball in her bag. At the tips of her fingers, she pulled it up from the bottom and returned Dragonair inside. "I'm sorry," she whispered at his pokéball. She knew that he was going to have emotional pain later on. When Dragonair was with Shayla's mother, they were unstoppable, unbeatable. And now, Shayla must have broke him, shattered him in a trillion pieces.

"I...uh...Glaceon, go!" she stammered out as Glaceon pranced on the battlefield with pride at the same time as the guy's Jolteon bolted on. The Jolteon then tried to back out or hesitate. "Jolteon, get back out there, you're the only one left," Jolteon's trainer said to him as Jolteon just stared at the ground.

From the other side of the field, Shayla saw him whisper something in the Pokémon's ear. And from that point, it got Jolteon all jazzed up and ready to battle. I guess a little pep talk was the trick to get him all ecstatic...or electrified in this case, Shayla thought at the sight of the electric type.

This time, the guy gave her the chance to make the first move, of course, he knew her strategy, so he was going to take advantage of it. "Glaceon use Blizzard!" she commanded and right on time, Glaceon hit Jolteon with a major hit, not a critical, but it was pretty hard. Jolteon almost froze but didn't with the help of his determination.

"Jolteon, use your Thunderbolt!" the guy ordered, sending out a tremendous flash of lightning produced by the electric fox-like Pokémon. That had Shayla's mind clearing out of the mist.

"Glaceon, dodge quickly and use your Ice Beam at the ground!" Shayla cried out. Glaceon barely made it, maybe she got hit a little, and it did some damage but not a whole chunk.

When she had her chance, Glaceon ice beam-ed the field, leaving a fine layer of sheer ice. With the field all slippery, Jolteon could barely keep himself up. "Glaceon, here's your chance, use Shadow Ball!" Shayla demanded. Glaceon then took her time to create the dark ball as Jolteon began to fall down.

"Jolteon, from the ground, try to use your Shadow Ball, too!" the guy said, making Jolteon create a dark ball as well.

Next thing that happened was that the two Shadow Balls were released, and they collided into each other with a tremendous force. Boom! went the two spheres of darkness as they smashed together, sending smoke everywhere. No one could see the two. Not even Shayla.

Unknown Person POV

"This is nice, isn't it Umbreon?" I asked my special looking fox-like friend as we leaned on an Oran Berry Tree, covered by the shade.

"Umbre~!" the dark type agreed with glee. Now, this isn't the case of a normal Umbreon, this is the case of a SHINY Umbreon. Sure maybe there's not much of a difference in moves but in appearance, there was. He was special, very...important to me. A memory of my grandfather...

Boom!

Wait...what was that? Umbreon and I turned our head towards the Pokémon Center. Could it be? Are there any robbers? Any members of Team Rocket? Any...bad people? Well, what better way to figure it out than checking it out?

"C'mon Umbreon, we're going to do some investigating," I said to him as we started to run off to the Pokémon Center.

Okay, so this is not my best work, but I guess it would do. Sorry I didn't update on Friday, there was a very urgent family emergency. So I would want to give a special thanks to: PokemonGirlieGirlwho favorited, alerted, and reviewed this story and favoriting me on the favorite authors thing. I would also want to thank: Nari88 for alerting this story.

So, that's pretty much it and I'm currently working on the next chapter right now. Thank you all for reading this chapter! Stay tuned!
