Chapter 4: Thunder and Lightning

It was an unforgettable sight; the entire town noticed the collision of the two forces and stared in awe as they waited for the dust to clear and reveal the winner. The clash of the forces created a thunderous sound that was so shocking it startled the nearby wild Pokémon. Once it appeared the Pokémon were done attacking, the smoke cleared. There laid the two rivals both fainted; the match was a draw.

"Articuno use ice beam! Tyranitar use blizzard!" Apollo commanded his Pokémon.

The ice bird stood on the floor of the abandoned power plant and blasted his brother with a white lightning-like beam of cold energy. The green tyrannosaurus aided Articuno with his powerful blizzard attack as he exhaled a freezing wind at the thunderbird. Zapdos managed to avoid the ice beam by neutralizing the attack with a thunderbolt, but he shivered as he was simultaneously blasted with a powerful icy wind. The thunderbird flapped his yellow and black wings to soar higher in the air and avoid his attackers. His attempt to flee failed as an armada of various Absols, Rhydons, and Houndooms blasted him dark pulses, rock blast, and overheat attacks. In addition to this assault, Zapdos was being hammered with Articuno and Tyrantiar's blizzard attacks. The thunder bird lost consciousness as a result of the powerful assaults and collapsed as he went head first into the ground of the power plant.

"Ultra ball go!" Apollo exclaimed as he threw the yellow and black ball at his victim.

The capturing process was swift, for Zapdos didn't have the energy to fight back, and the ball clicked signaling that he was captured.

"All that is left now should be Moltres. Now all I have to do is find out where he is. Although I think I know someone who might know where to find him." The gruff commander cackled as he boarded the plane.

"So where are we going to go now?" Cloud asked Leon as they were walking through a dirt path surrounded by plenty of trees and grassland.

"Let's see… in order to qualify for the Pokémon league championship, we'll have to do one of two things. One: we go the traditional route and collect badges from eight elected officials that we know as gym leaders. Two: we could battle trainers like crazy and go for a high rank in the Pokémon league trainer database. We just became Pokémon trainers so option two will be a lot harder to achieve. However the first option isn't exactly easy either. After all since its April we only have till summer time to collect all the badges in time for the regional championship. Honestly I think we should try both options. That way no matter what, as long as we do well we can qualify for the regionals no matter what."

"Wow, you really thought this through. All I asked for was basically the next town."

"Well I want to be prepared. As long as we stick to the plan, we'll be fine on going to the championships. If its town you're asking though, the closest town with a gym leader is Plain town."

"Plain town?"

"Don't ask me, I didn't make the name!"

Leon and Cloud walked through the thick layers of grass for hours, to say the least. Plain town was north of Barrier town and in order to get there the trainers would have to past two formidable obstacles: Mt. Baleful and the Plain town forest. Luckily for the two, their P.I.H. held data of a map of the entire Mythril region. The sky began to dim and the boys still hadn't reached Mt. Baleful, due to the excess in different wild Pokémon. Leon didn't bother catching any of the Pokémon he faced simply because he had already devised a plan for the Pokémon he wanted to raise and how to raise them. Cloud on the other hand didn't catch anything because none of the Pokémon he seen appealed to him, he wouldn't be caught dead raising a Bidoof, not the son of the dragon master and heir to the Highwind clan. They were just beginning to set up camp when suddenly Leon heard a rustle in the bushes.

"Hey cloud you know what that sound is?"

"Beats me; I'm so tired I feel like I'm going to collapse on this hard ground any minute now."

Just as Leon began to recognize the sound, out of the bushes appeared an incredibly short humanoid Pokémon with big white wings extending from the creature's back and gold legs. Along with this he had the head of a falcon, his acute green eyes staring at Leon in the darkness, as well as another pair of wings that he appeared to use as arms. The Pokémon was colored in a light shade of yellow throughout his entire body, and his falcon head was as white as his wings. On top of this, the Pokémon had a gold Mohawk on his head. Leon hastily pulled his P.I.H. out of his pocket, and tried to figure what kind of Pokémon it was through it's built in Pokémon encyclopedia.

The P.I.H. showed a picture of the Pokémon Leon was in a staring contest with and stated "Kyriki (key- re- key), the royal falcon Pokémon! They constantly battles amongst each other to test each other's strength and skill. They are known for their great speed and can fly up to 180 miles per hour. Kyriki is classified as an electric and flying dual type."

The Kyriki held out his wing and motioned as if to say come on, let's see what you got! Leon smirkedand released his Squiro from his poke ball.

"Alright then Kyriki, let's dance!"
