Chapter XII: Brawly Battle pt. 1
Brendan ran out of Granite Cave to go to the Pokemon Center. But when he was out the cave, he saw May flirting with some guy. The guy had blue hair and what looked like blue eyes. He had nothing on but orange and blue swim trunks, and he was grinning to May. Brendan walked up to the two in anger.
"May," he asked. "Where's Muddy!"
"He's at the center," May said. "Just like you asked. Nurse Joy said that he was in BAAAD shape, and I got him there just in time. And while I was heading back to the cave, I saw this hot surfer guy, and I came to talk to him."
"Yeah dude," he said while grinning to Brendan. Brendan looked at this guy dully.
"Do you have a job," Brendan asked.
"Yeah dude," he said.
"What is it," Brendan asked.
"Uh…yeah dude," he said while smiling.
"Is all you can say 'yeah dude'" Brendan asked.
"Yeah dude," he said.
"Are you gay," Brendan asked while grinning.
"Yea…oh no man, I don't go that way," he said.
"Do you have a foot fungus," Brendan asked.
"Yeah dude," Brawly said. "Wait, um…uh…oh, no," he said while staring at Brendan, but he oddly buried his feet in the sand…
"May, what do you see in this dumbass," Brendan asked while looking at her.
"He's hot, and sexy." May said with sparkles in her eyes.
"So anyway, what's your job," Brendan asked.
"Oh I'm the gym leader of this place," he said.
"Really," Brendan asked.
"Yeah dude," he said while smiling. Brendan did the anime fall, then stood back up.
"God, he's an airhead," Brendan thought while staring at Brawly.
"So, did you go to college," Brendan asked.
"Yeah dude, it was, um…how do you pronounce the name of the school called Duke," he said while doing the thinking position. Brendan and May did the anime fall once again, then they stood up, and May whispered in Brendan's ear.
"He's hot, but what an airhead," she said while looking at Brendan. He just grinned and turned his back to the two.
"Well, I have to go to the center to see if my Pokemon is alright," Brendan said while starting to run to the Pokemon Center. It was about 5 minutes by time he got to the center. Brendan rushed inside very dramatically. There were two girls and two guys in the lobby, and they looked at Brendan like he was a retard.
"Help," he yelled. "It's my Pokemon, he needs help! He was scratched by a…"
"Shut the hell up kid," a fat older kid said while throwing a shoe at Brendan and hitting him in the face. "You and 4 other Pokemon trainers have their Pokemon in pain, so wait in line…" he said while Brendan stood up and threw the shoe back at the kid and glared at him.
"My Pokemon was taken to this ER by a friend of mine, and he's in the ER right now you dipshit…"
"This isn't an ER, it's a lobby to a Pokemon Center," some girl said while glaring at Brendan. "Goodness, you need a stupid slap or something…"
"And you need to get laid," Brendan said while looking down. Everyone oohed the girl as she glared at Brendan.
"Look, our Pokemon are in trouble, but people may we please just shut the hell up and go on with out business," a guy said while standing on a chair. Everyone looked at him, pulled off one of their shoes, and threw it at the guy.
"Shut up, no one gives a damn about what a fruit cup like you has to say," the first guy said.
"You're to talk," another girl said. "Look at all that extra baggage you're packing. What, do you eat 1000 pounds of food a day…" she asked.
"I'm not fat; you should look in a mirror and consider some plastic surgery. Oh wait, did I say some, I meant some for every part of your body…" he yelled to her.
"Whatever tubby," Brendan said while closing his eyes and shrugging his shoulders. Then while everyone else was laughing at the big kid, Brendan turned to the girl he was joking. "Oh stop laughing; tubby was right about you and the plastic surgery," he said while grinning. She stopped laughing and everyone else started to laugh.
"Hey you can't joke her like that you faggot," the guy who stood on the table and got pelted with shoes said. "And who knows, you look like some old rapist or something…"
"How do I look like an old rapist," Brendan asked while glaring at him.
"Two words," the other girl said. "Your hair," she said. All of a sudden, all of the others started to laugh.
"I have three words for you, you whore," Brendan said while turning to her. "Suck my…"
"Is the trainer who owns the scratched up Mudkip in the building," Nurse Joy asked while popping out of the ER room and into the lobby.
"That's me," Brendan said while walking to the ER. Brendan turned to the other trainers and flicked them off while he stuck out his tounge. The fat guy grabbed his shoe from the counter, and threw it to Brendan, who just closed the ER door and the shoe thudded on the door.
"Are you Brendan," Nurse Joy asked.
"Yeah, why," he asked while they turned a corner.
"Well, let me just say that your Mudkip will be just fine…oh what the hell," she said while loosing her cheery voice and shaking her head after the three dots. "Look kid, I'll give it to you straight and not sugar coat any of this." She said. "Your Mudkip is jacked up. And I mean, jacked up badly." She said.
"Will he be okay," Brendan asked pretty worried.
"You're actually worried about your Pokemon," she asked in shock.
"Uh…yeah, why," Brendan asked while looking at her in suspicion.
"Oh, nothing," she said while they walked into a room. In the room, there was a bed, some chairs, and a bunch of wires connected to some gadgets.
"Ooh, high tech," Brendan said while smiling goofily.
"What did this to your Pokemon," she asked.
"Some Larion I battled in Granite Cave," he answered.
"Did it use any specific attacks?" she asked.
"I think it was Metal Claw," Brendan answered while looking at Muddy. His Mudkip's face was completely bandaged, he was laying on his side, and a bunch of wires were connected to his face that were connected to the machines. "My Muddy's gonna be okay, right?" Brendan asked while staring at his Pokemon emotionlessly.
"He'll be out of the bed by tomorrow or the day after," Nurse Joy said while looking at Mudkip as well. "That girl brought your Pokemon here just in time; anymore time to spare, he could have died," she said. Brendan stared at his Pokemon still. He couldn't believe that his best Pokemon was about to die; what would his father think if he heard this.
"Do you think I'll still win my gym battle without my strongest Pokemon," Brendan asked.
"I donno, just good luck in the gym," she said silently. After a few moments, she looked at Brendan. "But you might be able to win, because gymleader Brawly is a real dumbass," she said while breaking the silence and the worried tension. Brendan laughed then looked at Nurse Joy.
"I know," he started. "I saw him at the beach, and all he was able to say was…"
"Yeah dude," they heard him say from down the hall. After a few seconds, May and Brawly walked into the room where the Nurse and Brendan were. "So is your Pokemon okay dude…ooh, shiny spit dude," he said while looking at all of the mechanics in the lab.
"I told you you say spit and not the real word May," Brendan said while grinning to May.
"Shut the hell up. Oh by the way, we came in here and saw some fat kid, two girls, and a guy who looked like a geek talk about some stupid kid wearing black, red, and had white hair." May said while glaring at him.
"We just talked." Brendan said while looking down. "Man those guys were fags," Brendan thought. "But if Muddy can't get out of bed until tomorrow or the day after, how will I beat Brawly for a badge?" he thought to himself…
After another 25 minutes talking to the Nurse and whatnot, May, Brendan, and Brawly made a nice agreement. Brawly drove May and Brendan to Granite Cave so they could train their Pokemon some more until sunset, and Brawly would surf with his Pokemon just like he scheduled. Then in sunset, Brawly was going to drive them to his gym, and let Brendan battle him for a badge. So lets fast forward this to about Brendan training his Pokemon, without Muddy.
"Ooh Brendan," May said while looking at Nuzleaf. "Where did you catch that thing, and where's Warrior," she asked while looking around.
"This is the evolved form of Warrior," Brendan said while the two were grinning. May pulled out her Pokedex, got a scan on Nuzleaf, then put it back and noticed his Aron.
"Aron," she asked. "What about the Larion you were attempting to catch," she asked.
"Well, after you left, Warrior beat the mess out of Larion, but when I attempted to catch it, this Aron jumped in front of the ball, and was sucked in." Brendan said.
"But wouldn't a healthy Pokemon escape from the ball," May asked.
"Yeah, but I threw it really hard because I was mad about what it did to Muddy, and the ball hit this thing in the face, so…"
"Ouch," May said while closing her eyes.
"So anyway, lets get some training done, shall we," Brendan asked while he turned to the Warrior, Monkeyman, Horny, and Aron.
"Sure, let's do it," May said while pulling out Taillow, Chaka, Beauty, and Skitty…
The two trainers came out of Granite Cave with their Pokemon trained harder than before. Brendan's Aron is pretty strong; it knocked over a huge boulder while training, but Brendan knew that brute force wasn't everything. As soon as they left Granite Cave, they saw Brawly come in front of the cave in his orange car. The two headed into the car, and then they were on their way to the gym.
"So, are you ready for your battle Brendan," he asked while looking at him in the mirror.
"Yeah, my Pokemon will whip your ass." Brendan said confidently.
"Confidence is good, but make sure it doesn't become overconfidence dude," Brawly said while smiling to Brendan.
"Deal," Brendan said. After another 5 minutes, they made it to the gigantic fist gym again. Brendan was first to the gym door as Brawly came to open it. Then all three of them walked inside the gym. When May and Brendan took a look at this place, they each had a look of odd confusion on her face.
"What the hell is this," May asked.
"Um…yeah, what you asked," Brendan said while staring at all of the holes on the gym ground.
"This is my Pokemon Gym," he said while heading to a corner. "Don't let these holes fool you, I'm not stupid like everyone says I am," he said while pulling out a Pokeball.
"Oh yes you are," Brendan said while pulling out a Pokeball as well and went to his corner.
"My rules are simple; use all the Pokemon you possibly have, I only have two. The guy coming out that door over there," Brawly said while pointing out some guy coming out with two flags, a red one and a green one. "He will be the judge. So pull out your best Pokemon, and let's go," Brawly said.
"Well technically, I can't do that," Brendan said mysteriously.
"Oh, right," Brawly answered while pulling out a Pokemon. What came out was a big gray Pokemon with black tights and a golden belt with a red P on it. Brendan pulled out his Pokedex to tell him more on this odd thing.
"Machoke, the Superpower Pokemon. Machoke is the evolved form of Machop. Machoke's thoroughly toned muscles possess the hardness of steel. This Pokemon has so much strength, it could easily hold a sumo wrestler on one finger," the Pokedex said. Brendan put up his Pokedex and glared at this big thing, then decided to try out his new Pokemon first.
"Well, I choose you, Iron Heart," Brendan said while pulling out Aron.
"Aron, Aron ron ron ron (Iron Heart huh, I like that name)," Aron said while smiling.
"Machoke, Low Kick," Brawly said. Machoke jumped in the air, and came down beside Aron. Then it gave a nice low kick to Aron. It flew all the way to the side of the gym, and slammed in the wall.
"That was a cheap attack Brawly," Brendan yelled as his Pokemon stood up and glared at Machoke.
"It wasn't cheap, didn't you hear the bell," Brawly asked.
"Iron Heart, use Tackle," Brendan yelled. Aron jumped over a lot of holes, and then ran for Machoke.
"Just stay where you are Machoke," Brawly said. Machoke just looked at the little Pokemon rush for him, and then grinned as he got closer. Brendan noticed something was going on (for once), and then concluded that it was something that would cost him.
"Iron Heart, stop," Brendan yelled. Aron landed near a hole, then stopped and looked at Machoke. All of a sudden, a rumble came from underground, and then Machoke jumped back onto a hole. Then, water shot up from the hole and shot him up almost to ceiling.
"Machoke, Tackle Aron from the air." Brawly said. Machoke put his hands to his side and straightened his legs so he could fall faster, and grinned at Aron.
"Quick, move Iron Heart," Brendan yelled. Aron moved back, but Machoke changed its plans, grabbed Aron before it could move further back, and threw it to the air while it turned onto it's back and slammed there.
"You read my mind Machoke," Brawly said. "Now, use Dynamicpunch when he comes down," he said while Aron was falling.
"Geysers, man I gotta think up of something," Brendan thought as Aron fell from the ceiling. "Quick, use Mud Shot onto the ground to stop your fall," Brendan yelled. Aron shot some mud to the ground, and then his speed decreased. But it still fell victim to Machoke's punch, because he charged while his fist turned pink. It punched Aron on its side, and it flew all the way to the other side of the gym. Brendan's Pokemon had some circles in it's eyes while it was laying motionless on the ground.
"Aron is unable to battle, Machoke wins," the judge said while pointing his red flag to Brawly.
"Chose Machoke's next victim," Brawly said while grinning.
"I guess I'll pick, Warrior! I chose you!" Brendan yelled while pulling out Nuzleaf out of it's ball.
"Nuzleaf, Nuzleaf nuz (Time to kick some ass)," Nuzleaf said while looking up at Machoke. "Nuzleaf nuz nuz(On second thought, I'm screwed)," Nuzleaf said in worry as he ran behind Brendan.
"Come on Warrior, you can do it," Brendan said while moving behind his Pokemon. Nuzleaf nervously walked up to the battlefield and stared at Machoke in fear.
"Come on Nuzleaf, hit him with um…headbutt," Brendan yelled confidently. Nuzleaf just walked up to Machoke slowly, then lightly headbutted it in fear before running away quickly. "Oh come on Warrior, you're a warrior! Prove yourself to May by showing how tough you are," Brendan said.
"Yeah, I want to see you battle toughly Nuzleaf," May yelled to Nuzleaf encouragly from the stands. Nuzleaf looked at May, and then got a mean look on his face. Then he turned to Machoke with his new face on.
"That's the spirit Warrior," Brendan said while turning to his Pokemon. So, use Nature Power on Machoke," he said. Nuzleaf glowed yellow, then shot a purple power to Machoke. "And this will take your Pokemon out Brawly," Brendan said confidently. All of a sudden, the ground shook, and a nice geyser popped right from under Nuzleaf's feet, and his power quickly shot to the ground instead of Machoke as he shot up into the air.
"Alright Machoke," Brawly said while grinning. "Use Submission when Nuzleaf comes down to the ground." He said. Nuzleaf was falling, then Machoke jumped up and caressed Nuzleaf in his arms as he flipped continuously while they were falling. When they were about to hit the ground, Machoke stopped flipping, and threw Nuzleaf to the ground. Afterwards, there was some smoke, and Machoke flipped back to Brawly's side as the smoke cleared, and Nuzleaf was on the ground with the same circles in it's eyes as Aron had.
"Warrior," Brendan yelled as he ran to his Pokemon, dodging holes on his way to it.
"Nuzleaf is unable to battle, the winner is Machoke," the judge said while pointing the red flag to Machoke and Brawly.
"Have you had enough yet Brendan," Brawly asked while grinning.
"I know if Muddy was here, he'd kick this Machoke's ass in a heartbeat," Brendan thought to himself while he was glaring at the ground. "But this thing is powerful; it even intimidated Nuzleaf by just looking at it for Mew's sake. But now I'm reduced to Monkeyman and Horny. The problem is, is that Horny is a bug Pokemon, Monkeyman's a normal Pokemon, and looking at the chart, Normal and Bug Pokemon are weak against Fighting Pokemon. If only that Poisonpowder had hit, Machoke would have had a lot of damage. I guess I'll have to keep fighting," Brendan thought as he pulled up another Pokeball.
"I chose you, Monkeyman," Brendan said as he pulled out his Slakoth.
"He's doomed," the greeter yelled from the front door as he looked away quickly after he yelled it.
"Slakoth, why would Brendan do something as stupid like that," May asked out loud. "Oh, he is stupid," she answered herself while she laughed at Brendan's stupidity.
"Dude, you're screwed," Brawly said as another geyser popped up somewhere on Brendan's left. Brendan didn't know how, but he saw a pattern to these geysers worked.
"Monkeyman, use Faint Attack," Brendan said. Slakoth fell over and looked out. Machoke came over to it in wonder, and as soon as he got close, Slakoth poked Machoke in its eyes and watched it walk around the arena in pain. "Now, use Yawn," Brendan said. Slakoth yawned loudly and watched as the yawn cloud went over to Machoke with its hands at its eyes.
"Machoke move up 11 o'clock," Brawly yelled. Machoke moved about it's northwest, and he fell into a geyser. After a few seconds, Machoke came up on the geyser, and the white yawn cloud floated into the water shooting up.
"Damn," Brendan said. Machoke straitened it arms and legs to fall faster once again, and it's anger was visible in it's bloodshot eyes. Brendan then got an idea as it was falling down.
"Machoke, Tackle," Brawly yelled.
"Monkeyman, use Scratch when Machoke comes close," Brendan said. Slakoth stood up and watched as Machoke was going to tackle it. Then, Machoke reached out his hands, but Slakoth jumped up and scratched its face when Machoke got close. Machoke flew over to Brawly, then stood up and glared at Slakoth in pure anger.
"Machoke, use Counter on that thing," Brawly said. Machoke ran as fast as he could to Slakoth, and since it didn't have any nails, it slapped him all the way to the stands where May was. Slakoth had the circles in its eyes and his leg was twitching at random moments.
"Slakoth is unable to battle, the winner is Machoke," the judge said while pointing the red flag to Machoke. "Damn kid, your losing hard," he said while losing the officialness in his voice.
"I know right," Brendan's Pokedex said.
"Shut up you stupid thing," Brendan said while pulling out his last Pokeball he had available. "I'm deeply counting on you, Horny," Brendan yelled as he pulled out Heracross.
"If Horny loses, then Brendan will have lost the match," May said out loud in worry.
"A bug Pokemon, haven't you learned your lesson yet," Brawly said. "Machoke, let's wrap this up; use your strongest Dynamicpunch," he said while grinning. Machoke's fist glowed pink, and he ran over to Horny to punch him.
"Horny, fly up in the air," Brendan said. Heracross shot up into the air and watched as Machoke punched air where he was just formerly at. "Now use Take Down," Brendan yelled. Heracross glowed yellow and shot down to Machoke. Then it hit him with its horn, and Machoke flew over to the other side of the gym.
"Machoke, go up two geysers at 12 o'clock," Brawly said. Machoke shook its head, and then jumped two geysers. Then the ground rumbled, and Machoke shot up on a geyser to charge at Heracross.
"Now, use Double-edge on Heracross," Brawly said.
"Horny, Focus Punch when Machoke gets close," Brendan yelled. Machoke straightened its arms and legs to go faster to Heracross. Heracross's fist glowed white, and when Heracross was about a foot or two away, Heracross shot a nice Focus Punch to Machoke. Machoke's face dented in, and he fell to the ground making a loud thud.
"Oh no Machoke," Brawly said. Machoke was badly banged up, but it managed to stand up and glared at Heracross. Brendan sadly grown overconfident and he grinned at Machoke's pain.
"Alright Heracross, use Horn Attack," Brendan yelled. Heracross shot over to Machoke, and was ready to take him out.
"Machoke, grab Heracross and slam 'em on the ground," Brawly yelled slightly angered.
"Heracross stop," Brendan yelled worriedly. Heracross stopped abruptly, but Machoke grabbed its wings, turned around and slammed Heracross onto its face, hard.
"Ouch," May said from the stands.
"One word: KO," Brendan's Pokedex said happily.
"Got the business," the greeter said.
"Alright Machoke, finish this battle with Dynamicpunch," Brawly said. Machoke's fist glowed pink, and then he shot his fist to Heracross.
"Do something Horny!" Brendan yelled. Heracross turned onto it's back, and shot some purple liquid right into Machoke's face before the attack connected.
"What the hell is that?" Everyone in the arena asked at the same time. May pulled out her Pokedex for an answer.
"Attack name: Toxic. Toxic poisons the opponent with an intensifying poison," May's Pokedex said.
"Oh yeah, Fighting Pokemon like Machoke are weak against Poison Pokemon anyway," the greeter said.
"But Heracross is a Bug and Fighting Pokemon, not Poison," the judge told the greeter.
"The battle's still mine," Brendan said. Machoke held its eyes in pain while screaming to everyone. "Horny, finish the match with your Mega Horn," Brendan said. Heracross's horn glowed white, and he went under Machoke's feet, and shot him up in the air. Then Machoke fell down, but did a nice kick to Heracross's face when he came down. Heracross flew over to Brendan with circles in it's eyes.
"It's over dude," Brawly said. "I won the match…" Brendan fell too his knees, and looked to the ground in shock.
"The winner is…" the judge started. But all of a sudden, a small mummy came into the arena, but they all saw little black eyes in between the bandages.
"Mudkip (let's go)!" the thing yelled in joy…

Chapter 12 you guys. Sorry for the late update; I was feeling lazy for the past few days, and I thought that I should get back to work on them. Next Chappie is when we finish the battle with Brawly, and they find Steven, finally.
