Chapter 4: Return to Luxuria Town, Battle Club! Elliot vs. Trip, Rematch!
"Oh man, am I glad that's over with." I groaned.
"Snivy..." "Gli..." My pokemon agreed.
I stared at the Poke-Ball in my hand. "I didn't think this guy would be so tough to catch! But we've got a new friend now!" I stared at the Poke-Ball. "...Should I let it out?"
Whilst Snivy shrug indifference, Gligar frantically shook his head. "I'llllllll keep it in the ball for now." I decided. "Phew, isn't this great? Been a whole day since we left Striaton, never had a camp out before. I suppose it is my fault we left the city so late..."
My pokemon looked at each other quizzically. "Anyway, thanks for your help Snivy, return." I returned Snivy to his ball. "Shall we hit the road, Gligar?"
"Gli." He nodded, hopping onto my head.
"Come on! It's this way!" A voice called.
"Slow down!" Another voice cried.
"Who's that?" I asked no-one as I walked back onto the main path.
"WOAH!" Suddenly three figures quickly braked in front of me.
One had a white and red hat on with a white and blue jacket, plus black slacks and red shoes, but more interestingly a Pikachu on his shoulder. The second one, a dark skinned girl, had hair that was so big it could be mistaken for a pokemon...by someone really stupid. And the third one was...
"Cilan?" I gasped.
"Huh? Elliot?" He responded. "It IS you!"
"Woah, Cilan. What are you doing out here?" "Gligar?" We asked.
"I've decided to go on a journey with my new companions here." He gestured to the other two.
"Cilan, do you know this guy?" "Pika?" The guy with spiky black hair asked.
"Yes, this is Elliot, a recent challenger at the Striaton Gym." Cilan introduced me.
"It's very nice to meet you." I nodded. "This is my partner, Gligar."
"Gliiiigar." Gligar saluted.
"I'm Ash, and this is my partner Pikachu." "Pikachu!" The first duo greeted me.
"My name is Iris, and this is Axew." "Axew ew!" The girl described herself, and the pokemon that was weirdly hiding in her hair. "I've never seen a Gligar before."
"Yeah, he hatched from an egg I got." "Gliiii." Gligar blushed from the attention.
"That's cool!" Ash smiled. "So, where are you heading now?"
"To my hometown, Luxuria. And then Nacrene City to challenge the Gym there." I explained.
"I'm planning to challenge the Nacrene Gym as well." "Pikapika!" The duo stated.
"I guess that makes us rivals, then." I smirked.
"Guess so." Ash smirked back.
"So, what type of trainer are you?" Iris asked. "I'm training to become a Dragon master."
"Dragon master? That sounds cool! I'd like to battle one of those!" I commented. "But I'm just considering myself a beginner at this point."
"Hey Elliot, since we're all heading to Luxuria, why don't we go there together?" Ash suggested.
"Sounds good." I didn't have a reason to disagree, when I was interrupted by the sound of my stomach. "Sorry, I didn't pack enogh food for last night, so I'm kinda hungry."
"In that case, why don't we all have a small snack before heading on?" Cilan suggested.
"Fine by me." Me and Ash said.
"Gligar!" "Pikachu!" Our pokemon sympathised.
Now I can safely say that I know how to make sweet, soft treats out of apples and batter, with a bit of sugar. I was still licking my fingers as we arrived in Luxuria Town. "Man, Cilan, your really a great cook!"
"Gliiiigaaaar..." Gligar agreed, rubbing his full stomach.
"Woah! This town has a Battle Club!" Ash pointed to the big building with the Poke-Ball symbol above it.
"Oh yeah, its our little towns pride and joy." I quickly reminiscented about the times me, Gligar, Cameron and Riolu trained there.
By the time I snapped out of my stupor, the other three had gone off! "Hey! Wait for us!" I called as I ran in after them.
"Elliot?" I looked to my left to see a burly man with an impressive moustache in a training attire with a red belt. "It's a surprise to see you here, I thought you'd left on your journey!"
"Hey Don George!" I greeted him. He and his identical brothers ran the Battle Clubs around Unova, I constantly ask myself how it is biologically possible. "I have! I'm just popping back into town for a bit."
"So were you planning to have a battle here? It's been kinda slow without you here." He admitted.
"Maybe." I shrugged, looking at my three new friends wo were huddled around one of the Battle Club's video phone.
"Who are you talking to?" I asked as I walked over, looking at the screen. "No way! Trip?"
"Elliot? Your there too?" Trip said in surprise.
"Yep, we met on the road here and decided to go together." I told him.
"How do you know Trip, Elliot?" Ash asked.
"We met two days ago and had a battle." I said.
"If your there, then I'll accept a battle from you." Trip nodded. "I'll be there in a minute." And with that the line was cut off.
"Wow, Trip seemed a lot more eager to battle Elliot then Ash." "Axew." Iris and her pokemon commented.
'Maybe it's because I beat him?' I thought.
Soon Trip walked in. "Welcome back, Trip." Don George greeted him.
"Thank you, Don George." Trip returned the greeting. "So Elliot, are you ready to battle?"
"Hold on! Why can't I battle you first?" Ash asked.
"I'm more interested in battling Elliot." Trip stated.
"Hey, I don't mind letting Ash battle you first." I offered.
Trip looked sceptical about the idea, but admitted defeat. "Okay then, let's have a 6-on-6 battle."
"6-on-6?" Ash echoed. "Sorry, but I've only got five pokemon with me."
"Really?" Trip said with a hint of surprise. "Okay then, a 5-on-5 battle."
Me, Gligar, Cilan, Iris and Axew watched from the sidelines as Don George refereed, I have to say that I was pretty impressed by both their teams.
Ash started out with an Oshawott whilst Trip chose a Tranquil, which knocked out the otter pokemon with a single Aerial Ace. Next Ash used Tepig (I was really surprised he had more then one starter) but it also fell to Aerial Ace. Next Ash used Pikachu, which finally defeated Tranquill with a Volt Tackle.
Trip's next choice was his evolved starter, Servine. I was shocked as it overpowered Volt Tackle with a Cut attack to defeat Pikachu. Ash responded with Snivy, who managed to infatuate Servine with Attract before finishing it off with a Leaf Blade.
Ash substituted Snivy for Pidove whilst Trip used a male Frillish, which took down Pidove with a single Water Pulse. Snivy fought a good battle, but its attacks were cancelled by Frillish's Cursed Body, and was defeated by Hex.
"Ash! Are you okay?" Iris called as we walked over to him.
"I'm fine." He reassured us. "Snivy, thanks so much, return and take a good rest." The starter was returned to its Poke-Ball.
Trip walked back after healing his pokemon. "So now Elliot, can we battle?"
"Sure." I nodded. "How about a 4-on-4 battle?"
"Fine by me." Trip shrugged.
And so we took our positions on either side of the field, the giant screen above us showing a headshot of me and Trip sepreately, with four Poke-Ball symbols underneath them.
"This 4-on-4 battle will now begin!" Don George announced. "Both sides may use substitutions, and the match ends when either sides pokemon are unable to continue! And...begin!"
"Tranquill, go!" Trip tossed a Poke-Ball.
"Tranquiiiill!" The bird pokemon emerged, on the screen, the first Poke-Ball under Trip expanded and showed a headshot of Tranquill.
"I thought he'd start off with Tranquill..." I mumbled as I got out my Pokedex.
'Tranquill, the Wild Pigeon Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pidove. It is believed that a peaceful place without conflict exists deep in the forest where Tranquill live.'
I began thinking. 'I obviously can't use Snivy, and Rufflet is outmatched in terms of evolutionary strength. I could use Gligar, but putting him up against a full health battle ready Tranquill is too risky...looks like I have no choice.'
I got out the Poke-Ball and looked at it. "Alright, this is our first battle together, so let's do our best." I knew it could hear me in there. "Your up!" I tossed the ball into the fray and the pokemon popped out.
"Tirtouga!" It snapped, as its image appeared on the screen.
"What's that pokemon?" Ash asked as he got out his Pokedex.
'Tirtouga, the Prototurtle Pokémon. Tirtouga can dive underwater to half-mile depths,and can also attack onshore.'
"I thought Tirtouga's were extinct, how did Elliot catch one?" Cilan thought aloud.
"I just found it in a river whilst I was fishing." I told them truthfully. "Okay Tirtouga, you ready to battle?"
The pokemon shot me a look, but nodded.
"Even if its prehistoric, it won't matter if it's not strong." Trip smirked. "Use Aerial Ace!"
"Traaaaanquiiiil!" The pokemon shot at my pokemon at incredible speed.
"Use Withdraw!" "Tirtouga." It slipped into its shell as Tranquill slashed past it, before popping out with an annoyed look.
"Use Double Team!" "Tranquilquilquilquil!" The Tranquill turned into a flock of fakes. "Work Up!" All of them were bathed in a faint red aura. "Now Aerial Ace!" The Tranquill's returned to being one, that once more swooped at Tirtouga.
"Withdraw again!" "Tirtou." Once more it hid inside its shell, but the hit was much more forceful and sent it flying!
"Tirtouga!" I cried, but it just popped out of its shell. "Alright! Use Smack Down!"
"Tiiiiiirtouga!" A metallic gold orb of energy surrounded in orange energy appeared in front of it's open mouth. It then fired the orb at Tranquill, where it exploded. Tranquill suddenly shot straight down with a big crash.
"Tranquill!" Trip cried as the bird struggled to its talons.
"It fell straight down!" Iris gasped.
"Smack Down sends any airborne pokemon immediately downward, Elliot chose a good move to combat a Flying-type like Tranquill." Cilan commented.
"Great job, Tirtouga!" I praised it. "Now use Bite!"
"Tirrrtougaaaa!" it leapt at Tranquill, jaw wide.
"Dodge it!" "Tranquill!" Tranquill skimmed across the ground, quickly avoiding the attack.
"Though Tranquill is grounded, it can still fly in some sense." Cilan hypothesized.
"Use Icy Wind!" I followed up.
"Tiiiiiiiiirrrrrr..." Tirtouga lasily opened its mouth, the inside of it's mouth started to glow light blue and it released a wind with light blue sparkles in it from its mouth at Tranquill, who cringed and tried to shield itself with its wings.
"Don't flinch! Aerial Ace!" "Tr...Tranquill!" The attack took us by surprise, and Tirtouga couldn't retreat into its shell before it was sharply hit, flipping it onto its back!
"No! Tirtouga!" I cried as the pokemon uselessly tried to flip itself back up.
"Now use Air Cutter!" "Traaaaaanquil!" Tranquill waved its wings in an 'X' like motion and a light blue 'X' shaped energy was released from the tips of its wings, hitting Tirtouga's exposed stomach.
"Finish it with Aerial Ace!" Tranquil once more dived at Tirtouga.
"Tirtouga, return!" The red beam caught and returned Tirtouga just in the nick of time. "Phew...that was close." On the screen Tirtouga's image shrunk and turned light blue.
"All right Gligar, your up next!" "Gligar!" Gligar flew up to meet Tranquill, the second symbol becoming his headshot.
"I've been waiting for Gligar." Trip smiled. "Use Aerial Ace!"
"Counter with Acrobatics!"
"Traaaaan!" "Gliiiii!" The two pokemon met head on, both being thrown back from the impact.
"Gligar! Use Rock Tomb!" I cried.
"Gliiiiii..." Gligar put its pincers together in front of it and silver sparkles formed in between its claws. It then raised its appendages up in the air and the sparkles expanded, forming into a silver orb of energy. The orb then grew larger until it was much bigger than Gligar's body. Finally, the glow faded out from the orb, forming into a large gray boulder with a transparent silver glow. The orb rested in Gligar's arms, before it threw it at Tranquill. "Gar!"
"Dodge, Tranquill!" Tranquill just barely dodged the attack, it was showing signs of tiring, probably from its battle with Tirtouga. "Now, Air Cutter!" Tranquill flapped its wings and unleashed its attack.
"You dodge too!" Gligar quickly swooped out of range. "Rock Tomb again!" Gligar repeated its attack, this time Tranquill was too tired to dodge, and was crushed by the boulder.
"Tranquill, no!" Trip gasped as the smoke cleared to reveal Tranquill with swirled eyes.
"Tranquill is unable to battle! Gligar is the winner!" On the screen, Tranquill's image turned black and shrunk.
"Yes! Awesome jod, Gligar!" "Gligar!" My pokemon smiled.
"Your Gligar's as strong as ever." Trip sighed as he returned Tranquill. "But this time it's different! Servine, go!"
"Servine!" The pokemon smirked as it appeared.
"There's Servine, you ready, Gligar?" "Gli!" He nodded as he flew back into the fray. "Alright! Use Poison Sting!"
"Use Leaf Tornado!" Servine whipped up its attack, now more powerful thanks to its evolution, and easily overpowered Gligar's purple needles before sucking him in and slamming him into the ground.
"Gli...gar." Gligar grunted as he stuggled to his feet.
"Use Rock Tomb!"
"Gliiiiiigaaaar!" Gligar threw another boulder.
"Use Cut!"
"ServineservineservineservineSERVINE!" Servine ran straight past the boulder and slashed Gligar with one of its glowing leaf stubs!
"Gliiiii!" He cried as he was thrown to my feet.
"Gligar!" 'That Cut was really strong, even though its got those stubby arms!'
"G...Gli..." Gligar once more got up.
"Good job Gligar! Use Brick Break!"
"GliiiiiGAAAAR!" Gligar flew at Servine with a glowing pincer.
"Cut again!"
"SerVINE!" "Gligar!" Cut overpowered Brick Break and hit Gligar! My partner collapsed back with swirled eyes.
"Gligar is unable to battle! Servine is the winner!"
"Woah...Servine really is strong..." "Pikachu..." Ash and his pokemon breathed.
"Gligar..." Gligar sobbed at his loss.
"Gligar, you were awesome, thank you." I comforted him as I got out a Poke-Ball. "Rufflet! Battle time!"
"Ruff! Rufflet!" He chirped as he was released.
"A Rufflet huh?" Trip thought aloud as he got out a Poke-Ball. "Servine, return." Servine was recalled, and his screen image turned light blue.
"Looks like Trip's focusing on type matchup." Iris thought aloud.
"Frillish! Your up!" "Frill, Frillish." The jellyfish-like pokemon emerged with its creepy look.
"Now it's Frillish..." I got out my Pokedex.
'Frillish, the Floating Pokémon. Frillish can constrict its foes using its veil-like tentacles and numb them with poison. It is said to live in dens some five miles below sea level.'
"Rufflet! We gotta be careful with this guy!" I called up.
"Rufflet." He nodded.
"Let's start strong! Use Air Slash!" "Ruuuuufflet!" Rufflet flapped its wings and launched energy buzzsaws.
"Use Protect." "Frillish." A green energy shield appeared in front of Frillish, blocking the attack.
"Now use Water Pulse!"
"Friiiii..." Frillish put its tentacles in front of its body and formed a light blue ball of energy in between them. It then pushed the ball with its tentacles, slightly making it smaller. It then threw the orb at Rufflet.
"Double Team!" Rufflet copied itself, making the attack pass harmlessly through them. "Now use Air Slash!" All the Rufflet's launched their attack, which this time hit successfully, causing Frillish to cringe in pain.
Counter with Water Pulse!" Frillish launched its attack again.
"Dodge it!" Rufflet flapped out of the way.
"Why isn't Frillish using a different move?" Iris asked no-one in particular.
"Since Rufflet is part Normal type, Frillish's Ghost-type attacks won't work on it." Cilan explained.
"Wing Attack!" I called for.
"RuffLET!" Rufflet's wings glowed white and it caught Frillish flying past with them, but after the attack had made contact, Rufflet became covered in a shadowy aura, and its eyes widened in shock and horror.
"Cursed Body..." I said through gritted teeth. "Now Rufflet can't use Wing Attack until the end of the battle!"
"Water Pulse!" This time the attack hit , it expanded and surrounded Rufflet in a large orb of water. The water then swirled around from all sides, causing the water to explode and throw Rufflet out, who had yellow stars for eyes with more spinning above his head.
"Damnit! I can't deal with confusion right now." I cursed as I got out his Poke-Ball. "Rufflet, return." He was quickly called back to his ball.
"Guess he had no choice." Ash admitted.
I got out my fourth choice. "Snivy! Battle time!"
"Snivy!" The grass snake smiled as he was released.
"Woah! Elliot has a Snivy too!" Ash marvelled.
"Gotta admit, I didn't expect that." Trip chuckled.
"Well now your gonna see just how strong Snivy is!" I declared. "Use Vine Whip!"
"Sniiiivy!" Snivy grew two vines that he sent towards Frillish.
"Protect!" "Frill!" Once again the attack was blocked. "Now use Night Shade!" "Friiiilliiiiiish..." Frillish's eyes became surrounded in a purple aura. The aura was then replaced with a bright pink glow and Frillish's body glowed pale pink. Frillish then held out its tentacles and waved both of them up and down in a fast-paced hypnotic pattern. Releasing multiple pink rings from the outline of its body at Snivy.
When Snivy was hit by the rings, its body becomes outlined in light purple, and it clutched its head in pain before falling to its knees. "Don't give up, Snivy!" I yelled. "Use Grass Pledge!"
"SniiiiiiVY!" Snivy pounded the ground with its tail, causing pillars of leaves to surround Frillish, but it just floated over them!
"Use Water Pulse!" Frillish launched another water orb.
"Dodge it!" Snivy jumped out of the way just in time. "Now use Vine Whip!" Snivy lashed at Frillish and scored a hit, but it gained a shadowy aura and a pained look. 'Cursed Body again!?'
"Water Pulse!"
"Dodge!"
Snivy once again avoided the sphere of water, though he panted a little. "Snivy, return!" I returned Snivy quickly.
"Why did he return Snivy?" Iris asked.
"I think it was to give Snivy a chance to rest." Cilan guessed correctly.
"Tirtouga! One more time!" I tossed the ball and released the pokemon, who gave a bland look towards its new opponent.
"Frillish, use Night Shade!"
"Withdraw, Tirtouga!" The pokemon tucked into its shell as the enemy released its attack, though Tirtouga still gained a pink aura and came out with a pained look on its face.
"Use Water Gun!" "Tiiiiirtouga!" Tirtouga fired a stream of water from its mouth at Frillish.
"Protect." It once again defended itself.
"Follow up with Smack Down!" "TirTOU!" Tirtouga spat the orange ball of energy just as Frillish's Protect came down, hitting it and bringing it crashing down.
"Frillish! Get up! I know you can!" Trip cried as Frillish tried to pick itself up.
"Finish it up with Bite!" I called with a fist pump.
"Tiiiiiiirtougaaaaaaa!" Tirtouga threw itself forward and bit down on one of Frillish's tentacles, though he also suffered the effect of Cursed Body before Frillish fell back with swirled eyes.
"Frillish is unable to battle! Tirtouga is the winner!"
"Way to go, Tirtouga!" "Gligar, Gli!" Me and my partner congratulated it.
"Tirtouga." It nodded at the praise.
"It's not over yet." Trip said. "Timburr, your turn!"
"Timburr, Tim!" The log carrying Fighting type said as it appeared.
"So he has a Timburr too..." I once again got out my Pokedex.
'Timburr, the Muscular Pokémon. Timburr always carries a wooden beam. When it can easily lift its heavy burden, it is close to evolving.'
"We can't underestimate it, Tirtouga!" I advised. "So let's keep our distance and use Water Gun!"
"Tirtouga!" He fired water from his mouth again.
"Knock it away with Strength." "Tiiiiiiimburr!" Timburr gained a red aura, swung its beam back and wacked away the Water Gun!
"That's some Strength!" Ash commented.
"Use Low Sweep!" "Timburr!" Leaving its pole behind, it dashed forward and kicked Tirtouga in the face! Pushing it back a few steps as the pokemon returned to its weapon.
"Use Icy Wind!"
"Defend yourself!"
As Tirtouga blew, Timburr held its beam up as a shield, protecting it from the attack!
"Now use Dynamicpunch!" Timburr jumped on top of its pole!
"Tiiiiiiim..." Timburr clenched its fist as it glowed red. "...Buuuuurr!" It suddenly dived towards Tirtouga!
"Quick! Withdraw!" Tirtouga hid just as Timburr's fist hit its shell with a devastating bang, jumping back next to its pole. I held my breath as Tirtouga popped back out...with swirled eyes.
"Tirtouga is unable to battle! Timburr is the winner!"
"Return, Tirtouga." I withdrew him. "Thanks for all your hard work, you deserve a good rest." I got out another Poke-Ball. "Rufflet! It's on you!"
"Rufflet!" My bird pokemon once more burst out of its ball.
'Wing Attack is still disabled, so we're gonna have to try our best with your remaining moves...' "Use Air Slash!"
"Strength!" Timburr once again knocked the attack away. "Now, Dynamicpunch!" Timburr hopped on its pole before jumping skyward towards Rufflet.
"Double Team!" Rufflet divided, making Timburr miss. The pokemon flailed in the air for a bit before falling face first back to the ground. "Now's our chance, Rufflet! Use Sky Drop!"
"Rufflet!" Rufflet grabbed onto Timburr and began flapping frantically, however he had to let go halfway up, panting heavily.
"Guess we still haven't got that move sorted out yet." I laughed nervously as Gligar and Rufflet sighed.
"An imperfected move?" "Pika?" Ash and Pikachu said.
"It appears Rufflet doesn't have the strength to lift Timburr." Cilan acknowledged.
Timburr just looked annoyed as it got back its beam. "Timburr! Use Strength!" "Timbuuuurr!" Timburr jumped forward with a red aura and pulled back its pole.
"Air Slash!" Rufflet launched more buzzsaws made of energy, surprising it and hitting it full on. The Muscular pokemon fell out of the debris smoke with swirled eyes.
"Timburr is unable to battle! Rufflet is the winner!"
"Alright! Win three's on you, Rufflet!" "Gliiiigaaar!" We all grinned.
"Servine! It's up to you!" Trip said as he threw the Poke-Ball.
"Seeeeervine!" Servine once again appeared.
"Stay on your guard, Rufflet." I said.
"Use Cut!" Servine jumped up with a glowing leaf.
"Double Team!" Rufflet once again avoided damage with its illusionary clones, though Servine landed on its feet.
"Servine! Leaf Tornado!" "Ser! Seeeeervine!" Servine whipped up the familiar green twister and threw it forward.
"Stop it with Air Slash!" "Ruuuuufflet!" All the Rufflet clones launched an Air Slash, the two attacks collided with a big burst of wind and leaves that blew Rufflet out of the protection of its vanishing clones!
"Now use Cut!" "SerVINE!" Servine slashed Rufflet with its glowing leaf, making him fall to the ground with swirled eyes.
"Rufflet is unable to battle! Servine is the winner!"
I returned Rufflet. "Thanks for fighting so hard Rufflet, so rest up, okay?" I then looked at Trip and Servine. 'Those two are really strong together, so in order to win, I have to create that kind of bond between me and Snivy!'
"Snivy! It's up to you!" I shouted as I threw the Poke-Ball.
"Snivy!" He said as he appeared. The two members of the evolutionary family stared at each other with stoic seriousness.
"We're winning this, Snivy! Use Tackle!" "Sniiiiiiivy!" Snivy ran forward with his impressive speed.
"Use Cut." "Serserserserservine!" Cut once again over powered my pokemon, throwing it back.
"Don't hesitate! Get behind Servine and use Tackle again!"
"SniVY!" Snivy spun and skidded behind Servine before ramming into it in the back.
"Leaf Tornado!"
"Grass Pledge!"
The two attacks collided, sending leaves scattering everywhere. "Cut!" Servine jumped through, attack ready!"
"Dodge!" Snivy dashed back, but Servine swiped again and threw it at me!
"Snivy!" I cried to the weakened pokemon, lying on the ground from the huge amount of damage it had taken.
"Is it...over?" Iris said worriedly.
"C'mon Snivy! You gotta get up!" "Gligar!" We pleaded.
"S...Sni...vy..." Snivy gradually pushed itself into a standing position. "S...ni...SNIVY!" Suddenly a green aura burst forth around Snivy, and its tail glowed green with energy.
"What's going on?" "Gligar?" We gasped.
"It's Snivy's ability, Overgrow!" Cilan marvelled. "It only happens when Snivy's incredibly weak, and its Grass type attacks gain a major power boost."
"Wow! Your amazing, Snivy!" I cheered.
"Snivy." He smiled.
"That won't stop us!" Trip declared. "Use Cut again!"
"SerVINE!" Snivy defended itself as it was slashed again, being pushed back from the force, but recovering.
"Let's show them your power, Snivy!" I nodded. "Use Grass Pledge!"
"SNIIIIIVY!" Snivy furiously pounded the ground with its tail, giant pillars of typhoon engulfed leaves ripped out of the ground and slammed into Servine, throwing it clear across the battlefield and sending it crashing down with swirled eyes.
"Servine is unable to battle! Snivy is the winner! And the victory goes to Elliot!" On the screen, Servine was blackened, and me and my pokemon were moved to the middle of the screen, where 'WINNER' appeared above us in gold.
"You did it, Snivy!" I smiled as I picked him up. "You were so awesome battling out there, thank you!"
"Snivy." He smiled.
Trip returned Servine, and took a picture of us with his camera. "I won't forget this loss either..."
"Wow! That was so cool!" "Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu smiled.
"You and your pokemon were amazing!" "Axew!" Iris and Axew added.
"Your pokemon working with you so vividly, what a delicious recipe for success!" Cilan commented, making me hungry.
"That's one for the Battle Club history books!" Don George finished.
"Thanks, everyone." Me and my pokemon smiled.
"Elliot." I looked at Trip as he walked over. "I'm going to continue to get stronger, when I do, battle me again."
"Anytime." I nodded, before he walked out.
"Ash, I'm sure you'll be able to beat Trip one day as well." Iris said.
"Yeah!" Ash agreed. "And Elliot! I'd like to battle you someday too!"
"Pikapika!" Pikachu followed.
"Me too, I hope soon." "Gligar!" "Snivy." We said, shaking hands.
So, after updating my Battle Club record, me and my new friends parted ways, with Gligar on my head and my team in their Poke-Balls.
"I really hope we meet them again someday, Gligar." I told him. "To be honest, Ash kinda reminds me of Cameron!...I wonder what Cameron's up to right now?"
"Gligar." He shrugged.
"I guess you right...but whatever! Next up, our Nacrene City Gym Battle! Let's do this thing!"
Phew! Oh man this chapter was WAY longer then I thought it would be! But did you enjoy the battle? And which pokemon was most epic? Tirtouga, Gligar, Rufflet or Snivy? Say so in a review!
I just love writing battles, Not Official Staff, I guess I just can write Triple Battles...meh.
I hope this is soon enough Thief-chan! And I hope this battle was action-packed enough for you!
You dissing on Snivy's Razzorow? Well, mine in Black 2 is awesome! It knows Aqua Tail! Yeah, a Grass type learning a Water type move! Where's your Arceus now?
Thanks for your ideas WildFang12 and ebony umbreon (Wooo! Roggenrola!) I'll definitely consider them.
Once again, I don't own pokemon or the anime, duh. Thanks for reading! Reviews are appreciated!
