So here's chapter 3. Enjoy
"AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" Jake screamed, jolting awake. He looked over and saw his Eevee, laughing mischievously while holding an empty Poke Ball. He turned his head and saw Shockwave, his Luxray, had given him a Thunderbolt to wake up, also smirking. He looked at the clock.
"Oh shit I'm gonna be late!"
He bolted out of bed, recalled Shockwave, and started to get dressed. 30 seconds later he was ready.
"Eevee let's go!"
Eevee hopped onto his backpack, which Jake put on and ran out the door, ferry ticket in hand.
"I've gotta get to Slateport for the Pokemon World Tournament!" He yelled while running. "Bye mom! Bye dad! I'll tell you when I've qualified!" He said, letting his ego show a little bit.
"Bye honey, be good!" She replied as he ran out the door.
"Bye son!" His dad called after him, but Jake had already left.
*15 minutes later*
"Where is it?" Jake asked. He looked around before finally spotting his ferry, running towards it.
"Alright! Time to kick some ass!"
Eevee rolled his eyes, used to his best friend's ego.
As they got to the ship, Jake handed over his ticket and climbed aboard.
Although it was only a few hours' travel, he was still assigned a cabin. Once inside, Eevee hopped off Jake's shoulder, while he started to "officially" get ready for the day. He still smelled of ash from Shockwave's electrical wake up call.
He showered and got redressed. Once he was ready, he decided to tour the ship, Eevee on his shoulder. He started to walk around, with no particular destination. After walking around for a while, he turned a corner and saw a battle going on. Having nothing better to do, he decided to join the crowd and watch.
On the makeshift battlefield, there was a tall, buff man in his mid-twenties. He wore a pair of black sneakers, black sweatpants, and a blue tank top. In front of him was a powerful looking Poliwrath. It was a blue, tadpole looking Pokemon with menacing eyes with a white belly covered by a black spiral going clockwise.
On the other side of the field was a boy in his mid teens. He was of average height, with a slim build. He wore sandals, gray shorts, and a red t-shirt. He was commanding a Bouffalant. The pokemon looked like a bull, with four muscular legs, yellow eyes, and had two horns protruding out of an afro.
"Bouffalant, Head Charge!"
"Grab his horns, then go into submission!"
Bouffalant's afro glowed with a red energy, with an orange circle at the front. It charged at the Poliwrath. Poliwrath, however, was able to catch the charging afro-bull by the horns. He then jumped, Bouffalant still in tow, and then rolled around causing damage to both Pokemon. Bouffalant came off worse, panting heavily from the super effective attack.
"Finish with DynamicPunch!"
Poliwrath ran towards the Bouffalant with a glowing fist. It struck Bouffalant square in the face, scoring a clean KO.
"Bouffalant is unable to battle!" one of the spectators, acting like a referee, said. "Poliwrath is the winner and the victory goes to Jim!"
"Hah. That's three victories in a row!" Jim exclaimed. "Is there anyone who can beat me?"
"I'm up for it," Jake replied.
Everyone turned around to the newcomer.
"Think you can beat me pipsqueak?" asked Jim.
"Based on the fact that you're an overconfident bastard, I KNOW I can beat you," Jake replied. "How does a one on one sound?"
"Fine by me," Jim replied, angry at Jake's comment. "Got a name?"
"Jake. Jake Smith."
The person who was the ref for the previous match volunteered to referee again. Both parties agreed.
"This will be a one on one unofficial match between the challenger, Jake Smith, and the challenged, Jim Brady. Each trainer will use one Pokemon. The match will be over when either side's Pokemon is unable to continue, or by forfeit. Are both trainers ready?" he asked.
He got two nods in agreement. "Then please send out your Pokemon."
"Conkeldurr, let's roll!" Jim shouted. A large, bulky fighting type appeared. His light brown body had two, short legs, and his upper body was supported by two massive concrete pillars. His face had a red nose that looked like a ball.
"Talon, engage!" Jake sent out a Braviary. He had a massive wingspan, and his body was mostly covered by blue feathers. His back and top of his wings were red, and he had white feathers surrounding his head like a crown.
"Braviary versus Conkeldurr, begin!"
"Take it out with a stone edge!" Jim commanded.
"Into the air and use Air Slash!" Jake countered.
Conkeldurr summoned three rings of stones around his body, before swiftly sending them at Braviary, however, he was too quick and was able to easily dodge and sent several slashes of air at his opponent.
"Block them!" Jim shouted.
Conkeldurr lifted his concrete pillars into the air, and held them in front of the attack, significantly reducing the damage taken.
Damn, Jake thought to himself. I need to get those pillars away from Conkeldurr. I've got it!
"Bulk up, followed by Aerial Ace!"
"Stone Edge!"
Braviary took a deep breath, enlarging his muscles before diving down at his opponent. Conkeldurr sent dozens of sharp stones at Braviary. They hit, but he powered through and slammed into Conkeldurr.
"Now gust!"
Braviary quickly started flapping his wings at the dazed fighting type, causing him to lose his balance. One of the concrete pillars flew out of his hands, landing several feet away.
One down one to go! "Use air slash, aim for the hands!"
"Ice Punch!"
Braviary sent a slash of air at the hand holding the pillar. However, Conkeldurr's one free hand glowed white and slammed into it, destroying the attack.
"Now Rock Slide!"
"Fly away!"
Conkeldurr slammed his one remaining concrete pillar into the ground, summoning a wave of rocks at Braviary, but he was well out of range.
"Razor wind, followed by Crush Claw!"
Braviary flapped his wings, causing a huge amount of wind to kick up. He then flew towards the distracted Conkeldurr, talons glowing. He struck out, causing Conkeldurr to drop his remaining concrete pillar. He looked like he was struggling to stand without the support.
"Finish with Brave Bird!"
Braviary climbed into the air, then quickly dove towards the ground, a blue aura surrounding his body. He then sped towards the defenseless Conkeldurr, crashing into it. Conkeldurr didn't get back up.
"Conkeldurr is unable to battle, Braviary is the winner! The victory goes to Jake!" The ref announced.
"Great job Talon. Be a sport and get his pillars please," Jake said.
Braviary obliged, retrieving the two concrete pillars and placing them next to the fallen Conkeldurr, who was beginning to wake up.
Jim, on the other hand, looked like he was going to blow a gaskit. "I can't believe I lost to some scrawny little Bastard!" He fumed. "Conkeldurr return." He recalled his fighting type and stormed off. "This isn't the last you'll see of me," he muttered.
Suddenly the loudspeakers cackled on. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, we are arriving at Slateport Harbor and will be docking in ten minutes. Please gather your belongings and prepare to exit the ship in an orderly fashion. Thank you for sailing with us."
Jake went over to the sidelines, where Eevee was waiting for him. "You ready to go bud?" he asked.
"Eevee!" came the reply.
"Alright hop on!" Jake smiled, lowering his shoulder.
Eevee complied, taking up the comfortable spot on his friend's shoulder.
"Once we dock, we'll head over to registration, then go walk around. Sound good?"
Eevee nodded.
The ship had arrived at the port, and the two started to debarked from the ship, heading towards the Pokemon Center.
So another battle. I feel like they make great filler, plus I enjoy writing them. Next chapter will introduce more main characters, as well as explain Jake's personality a bit more. Anyways, Please Review! I can't change anything if no one tells me what I can improve on. Regarding OC submissions, when you submit them, I don't limit Pokémon to four moves, so don't worry about that. Just list some moves that they will have. Also Im mostly interested in how the trainers battle more than anything else. Anyways, please R&R!
