Alright, first (Official) Pokemon story.
enjoy!
BEFORE YOU READ!
The style of battling I use is very different then that of the game- in all logic, why the heck would a Pokémon forget a move? In this story, a Pokémon is able to retain knowledge of previous moves, thus,-
Pokémon have more then 4 moves when battling.
Thanks
Here it is! The battles! Enjoy!
A few days after, everyone had made it to the Semi-finals. The next battle that Red was going to would be the start of the semi-finals.
It was interesting concept. A Round Robin between three groups of 16 trainers. Red was in one group while Blue in the other. Ironically enough, Paul was placed within Blue's group while Ash was in the third with Barry.
Red's group wasn't any issue. He had defeated nearly all of them with a single Pokémon, automatically causing attention to be drawn to him, and he being compared to someone by the name of 'Tobias'. As for whom this Tobias was, he cared little for. Pikachu was having no problem with fighting every battle. Even a Steelix was having trouble getting up after a direct Thunder.
It came to no surprise when Red was the champion of that bracket, Blue defeating Paul with a slight difficulty but both remaining on the top of their bracket. Barry and Ash were also on the top, the five of them taking places of the final 16. The others were trainers who seemed a little difficulty.
They were organized randomly once more, all of them managing to not be paired against each other. Paul was vs. a girl with the name Christi while Red himself was against a man named Don.
It was not a full on six and six battle. The games were now televised and broadcasted across all of the world, people and the champions watching interestedly. He knew that Cynthia was having her eye on him since his recent win with only Pikachu and that one time, Espeon.
He walked into the arena, silently surprised at all of the people in the stands cheering for him, apparently people that had already lost and were cheering for him for a bet most likely.
He walked in calmly, taking his position as the larger man Don, strode in, showing a predatory hooked grin while Red showed no reaction.
"And the Semi-final battle between trainer Don and trainer Red will commence! We have used a coin toss to determine who will have the first move…Don! Trainers, please reveal your Pokémon!" The announcer called out, the larger than expected crowd shouting eagerly at Don for what Pokémon he should use.
"Go! Golem!" The man cried, the heavy rock Pokémon roaring as it landed.
Red said nothing, and Pikachu bounded down.
"And Trainer Don has chosen Golem, a rock ground Pokémon. Trainer Red has decided to use Pikachu, an electric type. Does trainer Red know that electric attacks are not effective on Golem?"
Red's eyes rolled from the overdramatic commentator. He waited calmly for the ref's sign and when it went, he waited for Golem's attack.
"Golem! Use Bulldoze!" Don shouted with a dramatic pose, causing the creature to instantly move into a charging roll.
Pikachu held its position, facing down the charging ton of rock before dodging with a spring into the air from its powerful haunches, smacking down a powerful Iron Tail onto the back of the Golem, causing it to skid temporarily out of the Bulldoze and groan, flinching from the super effective strike.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Pikachu has scored a direct hit of Iron Tail on Don's Golem. What will he do next?"
There were many things Red missed on his solitude on the mountain, commentators were not one of them.
"Argh! Golem, Stone Edge!"
Pikachu expected the flying rocks, this time flipping acrobatically into the air, leaping from rock to rock with precision and jumping high into the air with Quick Attack before flipping over and over, looking to make another Iron Tail.
"No! Golem, use Defense Curl! Make it so Iron Tail won't do a thing!" Don shouted angrily, and just as the glow was casted over the rock Pokémon, Pikachu twisted, plummeting with surprising speed before slamming into Golem instead in a powerful Slam, sending the Pokémon rolling away.
Golem groaned, trying to shake itself and get up, only for another Iron Tail to slam into it, sending it flying into the stadium walls, crashing in a clear faint.
"There you have it! Red's Pikachu not only managed to defeat Don's first Pokémon, but with a type disadvantage and without getting a single hit!"
Don growled, returning Golem and pulling out another Pokeball before throwing it out, "Go! Glalie!"
The ice Pokémon formed, glaring at Pikachu who wouldn't back down.
"Go! Use Ice Beam!" Don shouted with a curse, Pikachu jumping into the air and using a thunderbolt to cause the ice beam to collide, shooting out a large puff of ice crystals that clouded the view of both trainers. Red didn't worry, the ice in the air was nothing compared to Mt. Silver, and Pikachu knew what to do.
"Glalie? Glalie get out of the-"
"LIE!" They heard a loud shriek, the ice settled and Pikachu sat, ready for attack with a knocked out Glalie, Pikachu had apparently taken advantage of the clouded sight and two more Iron Tails.
"Gah! Fine, return! Go Houndoom!" The dog creature growled, glaring at Pikachu who glared back, electricity sparking as it hissed.
"Go! Houndoom use Flamethrower!" Don commanded, Pikachu activating a Quick Attack to slam into Houndoom before the flames could be released, knocking it over then biting its neck with a crunch, although not very effective.
"Ohh, another prime example of Pikachu's speed!"
"Houndoom! Inferno!"
Pikachu's eyes widened but before it could let go, fire blasted it back, sending it skidding across the ground with a wince.
"The first hit on Pikachu!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, jumping back upright but looking particularly singed while its tail whipped back and forth angrily.
"Hah! Use another flamethrower-"
"CHU!" Pikachu roared, electricity arching upwards before firing down upon Houndoom in merciless display of anger at being hit. The dog howled in pain, contorting as it collapsed. Once the electricity gave up, Houndoom was down for the count with a severely mad Pikachu.
"That's it! Three of Don's Pokémon are down without any of Red's Pokémon being taken down! We will have a short break before we resume again!"
Red nodded to his Pikachu who bounced back, jumping onto Red's shoulder as he moved to the sides, running his fingers through a few chunks of singed fur.
"Hey Red!" Red looked up, seeing Blue above him leaning over the railing, "Ash is In the other Stadium with Paul next to him. I figured I should drop by." Blue grinned, looking not the least surprised.
"Hey, you knock that guy out with Pikachu only, will ya'?" Blue asked with a small grin, Red gave a nod, returning to the field while Pikachu ran forward once more.
"And Pikachu is chosen again! What will Don chose?"
"Go! Aggron!"
The large Rock Steel Pokémon roared, looking at Pikachu with little interest while Pikachu growled, staring at the creature with slight hesitation.
"Aggron! Use Take Down!"
"Pika!" Pikachu yelped, jumping and using a faint quick attack, yelping as it hit the hard metallic skull of the beast.
"Hah! You're Pikachu can't beat my Aggron!" Don laughed, and Red looked at Pikachu and the creature carefully, considering.
Red snapped before flipping his hand, causing Pikachu's ears to flatten as it charged towards Aggron, electricity curling around it in a Volt Tackle. Aggron growled as it hit, using Metal Claw by Don's command, and grabbing the Pikachu by its tail, causing it to thrash loudly.
"Pikachu chu!" It yelped and again Red snapped his fingers, his Pikachu flipping and it's paws glowing white, slammed them into the gut of Aggron.
It roared, letting go and swaying slightly, Pikachu landing and spinning, delivering a swift Rock Smash onto the jaw of the best before performing a flip worthy of a contest and landing, Aggron passed out and fainting behind it due to the Close Combat and Rock Smash maneuver.
"No! Aggron! Return, go Scyther!"
Pikachu blinked, looking at Red who nodded then Pikachu shrugged, jumping and sending another electrical current towards Scyther who shrieked before also, falling over from the super effective move.
"Gah! Fine- go! Gyarados!"
The large sea dwelling creature roared, glaring at Pikachu who glared back, only stepping back two tiny steps.
"Go! Rain Dance!"
The Gyarados wriggled, and rain collected.
Pikachu paused, looking back at Red with a look that almost said 'Is this guy for real?'
Without a single look, Pikachu tensed before shouting "Pika!" And a giant bolt of electricity shot down from the sky, instantly hitting the large creature and causing it to wriggle from the double super effective move.
"I don't believe it! Red has beat all six of Don's Pokémon with only his Pikachu!"
Red snorted, Pikachu jumping on Red's shoulder as they walked out, ignoring the crowd.
"Hey Red! Good job, competition's just getting easier, eh?" Blue grinned Red said nothing.
Nonetheless, it was easier.
The others won also, the match drawing nearly to a tie for 'Barry', Whom Red still had yet to meet. He was mostly interested in Paul's performances, who seemed to be having issues with faster attacking Pokémon. It was something that Red wouldn't be able to help with in the short day between his and the next round of matches.
"Contestants! Please draw your eyes to the viewing board, where tomorrow's line up will be displayed."
Red watched with slightly narrowed eyes as the faces flickered, showing the 10:00 AM battle of Blue and Barry, Ash sending a sympathetic look at Barry (Who Red was finally able to see), who ignored it arrogantly.
"Next for the 12:00 PM battle…Red and Cameron!"
Red gave a slight sigh, seeing him being paired up with one of the lucky males who had happened to have an easy pass up onto the Semi-finals. Red said nothing at his opponent meekly waved at him.
"For the 2:00 PM battle…Alexis and Jimmy!"
Red lazily looked up at the board, stiffening as he caught sight of the cheeky boy with the golden hat displayed for 'Jimmy's ' picture.
Red's heart stopped as his eyes locked on the golden ones of the photo, refusing to turn and look at the trainers around him.
"Red- it's not him." Blue suddenly muttered, standing nearby Red as he smiled and waved to the crowd, not saying anything.
"Anyways, I think this is more important." Blue nodded to the board as it displayed one more time.
"And for the final battle at 4:00 PM…Ash and Paul! Travel safely and see you all tomorrow!"
Red didn't let his eyes leave the picture of Gold, he didn't want to turn and have to see the arrogant cocky little chatterbox with that impossibly friendly Typhlosion.
He didn't want to have to see him, nor battle him again.
"Red." Red turned, looking at Paul who had an emotionless look on his face, he gave a slight glance to the pairings list before Red gave a slight nod, looking over at Blue who was in front of Ash, and returned a slight nod.
Red brushed past Paul, the latter following behind as they walked out of the stadium, ignoring the crowd of people that clustered around Red, having already predicted that either He or Blue would win.
"I don't know if I'm going to beat Ash. I don't know what your friend has been telling him. I'll use everything I and my Pokémon have learned." Paul stated as they were walking quietly down the road, hat pulled low on Red's face while both had their hands crammed into their pockets.
"I'll watch your battle, although I know you're going to win." Paul shrugged and a small smile flickered over Red's face.
"…Thanks."
They split, each heading to separate rooms while Paul paused slightly, looking down the hall to where Red quietly opened his own door, his Pikachu jumping inside happily while Red followed silently.
Part of Paul wondered why the near same kid he knew as Ash turned into something so similar to…him.
Part of Paul didn't want to know.
Red awoke early the following day, managing to not only walk out at the same time as Blue, but meet him on the path towards the stadium, receiving a small smile as he walked with his long time rival.
"Excuse me, you'll have to go into the stands-" An official stated before Blue waved a hand, "What? Sorry, he's my friend. He can go in the reserved spot, right?" Blue asked and the official apologized, letting Red and Blue walk out on the stadium floor, Red taking the official seat on a bench on the arena floor.
"Welcome to the Semi-finals! In addition to a six on six Pokémon battle, the field will change terrain randomly. The field will be reset after each break, which will occur after the first challenger has run out of three Pokémon. The two battlers today are…Blue and Barry! The field has randomly been selected as a rocky terrain!"
Red watched with slight surprise as the entire field shifted into a large area with rocky spires and dirt. Never in their universe did this happen, and Blue was obviously surprised by it, although he just looked at his opponent with blonde hair and a orange shirt.
"You're going down Blue! I don't care how you got this far, but I'm gonna' beat you!" Barry shouted, pointing determinedly while Red arched one eyebrow.
"The two challengers will release their first Pokémon. Randomly selected, Blue has first attack!"
"Alright! Let's show them Skarmory!" Barry shouted, throwing the Pokeball into the air before a large silver shrieking bird appeared, flapping wildly.
Red observed the creature, recognizing the Skarmory .
"Go get it Jolt!" Blue nodded, gently tossing the ball to show the fast yellow Pokémon, which barked once at Skarmory.
"Blue has chosen Jolteon! Who has a noticeable type disadvantage vs. Skarmory!"
"Jolteon, use Pin Missile." Blue nodded, his Pokémon sending out an array of projectiles.
"Dodge! Use Spikes!" Barry shouted louder than necessary while Skarmory rolled, dodging the projectiles with normal speed before spikes impacted the ground.
Red could see Blue's logic, he wanted to test how fast Skarmory was before blindly attacking, now that he knew, it was time to use speed.
"Use Steel wing!" Barry shouted and the bird cried out, diving quickly and trying to avoid the large rock columns.
"Jolteon, use Thunderbolt to redirect it and use the rocks for a full on strike." Blue nodded, Jolteon firing out multiple strands, forcing the bird to twist and get closer to the ground, Jolteon leaped, kicking off of a spike and landing on Skarmory's back much to the birds confusion.
"What? Get that thing off Skarmory!" Barry cried out, over exaggerating while Jolteon placed a perfectly executed Thunderbolt, zapping the bird as it shrieked and landing harshly, Jolteon jumping off.
Skarmory hissed, jumping upright but looking exhausted while it glared, Blue calculating carefully.
"Hit it with your Air Cutter Skarmory!" Barry cried out while Jolteon glared.
"Agility, use Thunderwave." Blue nodded, his Pokémon sprinting off and firing a Thunderwave from all directions, causing the bird to tumble.
"Slash!" Barry cried out as a last defense while the bird struggled on the ground.
"Thunder Fang!"
Jolteon snapped its jaws shut, the bird shrieking before fainting, Jolteon running back in a ready position while Barry managed to look panicked.
"You may have gotten Skarmory, but you won't get my next one! Go, Heracross!" Barry shouted, sending the fighting bug like Pokémon onto the field.
Red arched one eyebrow. He didn't see how a Heracross would have any effect on Jolteon unless it knew a ground type move.
"Heracross! Use Earthquake!"
Ah, there it was.
Jolteon panicked slightly, wincing from the ground attack as it tried to get up after its shaky fall, it glanced up only to cry out as it was hit with a powerful Brick Break, causing it to skid across the rocky ground and slam into a spire, out for the count.
"Good job Jolteon." Blue smiled, recalling his Pokémon while looking at the tensed and ready Heracross.
"Go! Use Retaliate!"
"Arc!" Arcanine howled, being summoned while somehow in the air already in a pounce, catching the Heracross off guard.
Red smirked, the audience gasping as obviously nobody had ever called a Pokémon out while in mid move.
The move slammed into the Heracross, double powerful due to Jolteon's recent fall. Arcanine howled with power, its paws crunching down while Heracross spun, slamming into the ground before not getting up.
"No! Gah! I know fire's weak against water, so come on out Empoleon!"
Arcanine stood ground, wincing suddenly as Spike's took effect, now that it was standing. It looked at the Empoleon, looking baffled as Blue pulled out the pokedex.
"It looks like Blue has never seen an Empoleon before! Will this be the break Barry needs?"
"Empoleon! Use Aqua jet!" Barry pointed with a cry, Arcanine taking it upon itself to dodge with Extremespeed while Blue hassled his pokedex, trying to figure it out.
Empoleon.
Abilities: Torrent.
Level: 59
Blue winced as he looked at the large water bird, Arcanine finally landing a hit but was slapped away by a not very effective Metal Claw.
"Arcanine, it's a water steel type. Try to get in close with an Extremespeed."
Arcanine obeyed, racing forward and dodging another Metal Claw as it jumped, roaring in pain as it was hit under its stomach with an Aqua Jet, wincing but battling through and clamping down with its teeth.
"Empoleon!" Empoleon shrieked, arcing with electricity from a thunder fang.
"It seems Arcanine knows Thunder Fang and is putting it to good use!"
"Emploeon, use Hydro Pump!"
"Hang in there Arcanine!" Blue shouted, clamping further and howling as the powerful torrent of water blasted it away, Empoleon glowing blue previously as Torrent was activated.
Empoleon shuddered from the Thunder Fang, slowly dropping while Arcanine didn't manage to rise, two of Blue's Pokémon out while three of Barry's remained.
"Three of Barry's Pokémon are defeated, we will have a short break."
Barry rushed out, freaking out over something of a fine when talking to someone Red didn't care to look for, instead looking at Blue who let out a sigh.
"I messed it up with Arcanine. I should have used Gyarados, he knows thunder also." Blue sighed, looking at Red who gave a faint smirk and a nod, translating to 'Now you think of that?'
"Just wait, I'll still beat this kid. He's good, but not that bad. Maybe a gym leader at best, not Elite Four material." Blue shrugged, rising back to his position while Barry appeared again.
"Go! Hitmonlee!" Said Pokémon appeared and Blue almost laughed at his luck.
"Go, Alakazam." He smirked, said psychic Pokémon appearing while Barry cursed his luck. Alakazam winced from the spikes still taking effect.
"Reflect." Blue nodded, his Alakazam creating its protective move while Barry growled, pointing quickly.
"Hitmonlee! Use Mega Kick!"
"Teleport." Blue commanded quickly, Alakazam vanishing behind Hitmonlee and waiting an order.
"No! Hitmonlee, turn around!"
"Psycho cut."
Hitmonlee howled as Alakazam brought his glowing spoons down, colliding them on the Pokémon, who managed to redirect his Mega Kick- which did little to hurt Alakazam due to Reflect.
"Confusion, and finish this." Blue nodded, Alakazam obeying and Hitmonlee was out.
"No! Fine! Go for it Staraptor!" Barry shouted, throwing the large black bird into the air.
"Show us what you got!" Barry shouted, beyond frustrated obviously.
"Return." Blue stated calmly, recalling his Alakazam while Red smirked, anticipating the switch.
"What?" Barry gasped as Blue instead sent out a new one.
Gyarados roared, and Staraptor flinched, looking at the gigantic intimidating creature with fright.
"Staraptor! You've got this! Use Brave Bird!" Barry shouted, drawing out the command while Gyarados looked at the diving bird, eyes narrowing as it obeyed the unspoken command.
Thunder fell from the sky, striking the poor bird and letting it cry, smoking as it hit the ground, knocked out from a single strike.
Barry swallowed, knowing now that it was useless as he sent out his final Pokémon, a Roserade.
"Use Razor Leaf!"
"Ice Fang."
Red closed his eyes, not wanting to watch but knowing how the battle would end as he heard Barry's scream of 'No!'.
Red smiled, did Barry actually expect to win?
"It's over." Red opened his eyes, Blue looking at him calmly as Red stood, walking out of the stadium and brushing past the reaching hands and gushing complements. He hurried to the Pokémon center, handing over his fainted Pokémon and Gyarados just for good measure. Red would battle the stranger next, but he knew that the attacker wasn't very good just from his narrow losses.
"Red." He turned, seeing Paul in the doorway, a nod to Blue in which he returned as Blue paused.
"…Hey Red, do you mind if we watch on the floor?" Blue asked, and Red gave a shrug, not really caring as they moved back towards the stadium.
It was 11:20 right then, the matches had been split apart with plenty of time in case one went for longer.
Red was in the stadium, where people were already filtering in, wanting to get the best seats for the apparently 'Legendary' battle. A few people tried to lean over the railing, throwing things at Red to sign and autograph.
"Déjà-vu, eh Red?" Blue smirked, noticing how the fans seemed desperate enough to send their Pokémon down with shirts and other things to sign.
"You mean you've done this before?" Paul asked with slight interest, looking at Blue with a sly look of his eye and a cold emotionless voice.
Blue stared at Paul with a slight arch of his eyebrow as he shook his head.
"Well, what do you know. You actually act like him." Blue let out a low whistle as they ignored the fans, Paul brushing by them even easier then Blue did.
"Anyways, back in our…home…" Blue hesitated while Paul casted him a look, "You mean the alternate dimension?"
Blue casted Paul a look of surprise before glaring at Red, who made no move to comment or defend himself.
"…Yeah, anyways, Red and I are popular in our home, we had this happen to us for a while." Blue shrugged, glancing at his watch to see the time before seeing that the battle was nearly then.
"Anyways, you're almost up Red. Do us a favor and knock them dead." Blue smirked, leaning against the complementary seats while Paul did the same, watching calmly as Red took the stage.
His opponent walked out, his shaggy hair tied back while he wore a bright green coat, very hurtful on the eye.
"Welcome once again to the Semi-finals! In addition to a six on six Pokémon battle, the field will change terrain randomly. The field will be reset after each break, which will occur after the first challenger has run out of three Pokémon. The two battlers today are…Red and Cameron! The field has randomly been selected as an ice terrain!"
"Well, this is already in Red's favor." Blue muttered, Paul giving a small grunt as he realized the same. The field was shown with large patches of ice and snow, causing it to look dangerous with the large chunks of ice protruding from the ground.
"We have randomly chosen who will have first attack…Cameron! We now await the challengers to reveal their Pokémon."
Cameron smirked, reaching in his green coat to grab one of his Pokeballs- a Quick Ball Paul noticed dryly.
"Go! Walrein!" Cameron shouted, a large seal like Pokémon landing with a roar, causing Red to briefly scan it with his pokedex.
Walrein.
Ability: Thick Fat. Hidden ability: Oblivious
Level: 50
Red's eyes narrowed as he observed the large Water-ice type.
"It seems that yet again, Red is paired up against an unknown Pokémon! Will he stick to the Pikachu he always battles with, or will he use something different?"
Red snapped and his Pikachu jumped down, like expected.
"Why does he continuously use that?" Paul asked aloud, Blue giving a slight shrug.
"Red's like that. He doesn't like to show off. If he can finish a battle with only one Pokémon, he will. I guess he thinks that he doesn't need to use a stronger one, or one with a type advantage."
Paul stared, watching intently.
"Go! Use Blizzard Walrein!" Cameron shouted, and Red smirked slightly, his Pikachu bracing itself slightly.
"A direct hit…Ladies and Gentlemen, I can hardly believe my eyes! Red's Pikachu took the entire attack and looks as if nothing happened!"
"What? Hail!" Cameron shouted, Walrein roaring as hail started plummeting, hitting Pikachu but the beast did nothing in retaliation.
"The idiot. Red's trained on Mt. Silver, if he can survive the snow up there, a hail is going to do nothing." Blue snorted while rolling his eyes.
Red said nothing, and his Pikachu remained motionless.
"I don't believe this! It seems that Red's Pikachu has been trained to sustain damage from icy environmental attacks, and it sure looks like it's paying off!"
Red snapped, causing his Pikachu to slouch slightly, dropping into a ready position while Cameron obviously looked startled at the lack of attacks.
"Walrein! Use Ice Beam on that rat!"
Another snap of fingers.
The ball took time to charge, and time was what Pikachu didn't need at that moment.
The creature started running at an insane speed, gaining while Cameron was visibly panicked at the speed Pikachu used.
"Hurry!" Cameron shouted at his Walrein, which tried to release the Ice Beam just as Pikachu spun, slamming an Iron Tail into the jaw of the beast and forcing its head down, incidentally freezing its body into the ice.
"Wal!" It roared, attempting to break free of the ice as Pikachu landed in front of the thing, tensed and ready as slowly it stood on its hind legs and just…stared at Walrein.
Then, a gigantic strike of lightning lit the beast.
It roared, thrashing as the heat melted the ice and a large area around it into a freezing puddle, the Walrein fainted from the electricity.
"No! Return, go- Flygon!"
"Fly!" The large green dragon looking creature roared, landing heavily on the ground as Pikachu sprung away, looking at the creature in surprise.
Once again, Red used his Pokedex to figure out the type of the thing.
'Dragon Ground, perfect.'
Red snapped his fingers, moving them across his chest while Pikachu nodded, jumping away and observing the creature warily as it took to the air, wings buzzing quickly and with power.
"Flygon! Use Dragonbreath!" The beast let out a plume of purple fire, causing Pikachu to spring away, crying out from an unexpected Earth Power to catch it unprepared.
Red grunted in slight alarm as when Pikachu stood, a Rock Slide tumbled, hitting it once more and trapping it beneath several layers of rock.
"Impressive." Blue muttered, standing up and looking at the pile while Paul's hands curled into fists.
"It looks like Red's Pokémon is down for the count!"
"Flygon! Take no chances! Earth Power and split that down the middle!" Cameron shouted, Flygon slamming into the ground and splitting it down the middle, causing the rocks to snap and slide, letting it draw silent before a loud screech of pain from Pikachu, before the entire stadium drew silent.
"…Is this the end of Red's Pikachu? Has the trainer Cameron finally managed to defeat Red's first Pokémon?"
Red paused, before pulling his hands apart and clapped loudly, the sound resonating through the area.
The ground exploded from under Flygon, catching it unprepared as it jumped, wings flapping as it tried to get into the air, crying out as a Brick Break smashed into its neck, its tail wrapping around the Flygon's body as it pulled itself onto the back of the creature, hanging on tightly.
"Well, I don't believe it! Red's Pikachu not only knows how to take four super effective hits, but also executed a perfect Dig and Brick Break in close succession!"
"Flygon! Shake it off! Use Dragon Tail!"
"Fly!" Flygon shouted angrily, spinning with a glowing tail as it attempted to get the Pikachu off of its back, moving its tail up to slam into the Pikachu, but it had already jumped, causing the Dragon Tail to slam into the Flygon's body with a cry of agony.
"No!"
"Pikachu Pi Pika Pi!" The Pikachu shouted, adding in an Iron Tail for good measure as it flipped, landing on the ground looking up, ready for another attack.
It's eyes widened as suddenly, large rocks slammed into it, causing it to be too much to take five super effective attacks.
"Chaa!" It cried, falling to the ground limply as the Flygon slammed into the ground also, both out of battle.
"…Impressive." Blue shook his head, but Paul scowled.
"No. That Flygon was a ground type, if anything it was hiding its true strength due to how weak it was. It used distant attacks and didn't bother getting close to Pikachu." Paul scowled, and Blue gave a sharp nod.
"In some situations, that's the only way to attack. I'm interested to see who Red uses next." Blue nodded.
"Incredible! Pikachu is unable to battle, Cameron has proven to be the first trainer to defeat Red's Pikachu. What Pokémon will he use next?"
"Go! Breloom!" "Bree! Breloom!" Breloom shouted, landing and slipping slightly on the ice before scowling at Red, and awaiting battle.
Red said nothing, setting Pikachu's Pokeball back upon his hip and pulling out another one, sending it out.
"Es-Espeon." Espeon shouted, sitting calmly while observing Breloom with little interest.
"Amazing! Red has just sent out his Espeon, a Pokémon which we have only seen once before in Red's possession. All other Pokémon of Red's are still a mystery!"
"Breloom! Use Leech Seed!" Cameron shouted, and Red narrowed his eyes. Without even asking, the seed's halted in mid air before being ripped apart brutally from a psychic attack.
"No! Stun Spore! Then use Leech Seed again!" Cameron desperately shouted, waving his hand for emphasis as Breloom obeyed, firing off the golden dust and more seeds.
Just like before, the seeds were torn apart and the gold dust dissipated as it hit a reflective screen Espeon had created sometime in the match.
"It seems Cameron's Breloom is unable to hit a single attack!"
"That's it! Get in there and use Mach Punch!"
"Bre…Loom!" Breloom shouted, charging quickly towards Espeon.
"Esss." Espeon practically purred, her eyes glowing as Breloom was lifted off the ground, kicking wildly as it didn't touch the ground, it crying out in panic.
Espeon calmly sat upright, and started walking forward nearly lazily, pausing a few inches from the flailing Breloom before a beautiful glowing light started to form in her mouth, and suddenly, a Psybeam was let loose only inches from the still flailing Breloom.
The poor creature was sent flying into the air, limp as it came tumbling down, fainted before it impacted. Cameron stared slack jawed at Espeon who lazily walked back towards Red, waving its twin tails as the break was declared and Cameron stored off the field.
"Nice job with Espeon." Blue nodded, patting the lavender creature on its head before the cat looked at Paul interestedly before shrugging and butting her head against his hand for him to scratch her.
Paul gave her a few scratches before looking at Red, who was watching him closely before looking back at the field.
It was pretty banged up, the ice was in bad shape from Flygon's rock attack. Espeon didn't damage it in any way but it was replaced none the less.
Instead, a large grassy field was exposed, the grass tall enough to hide Espeon if she sat down.
"Interesting arena. I bet you're going to have fun." Blue smirked to Red who rolled his eyes, walking out and Espeon walked out also, taking her place on the field.
"Go! Shedinja!"
A strange Pokémon appeared, levitating while Espeon looked at it in confusion, Red using his Pokedex and stilling in surprise.
"Use Shadow Ball!"
"Esp!" Espeon growled, jumping out of the way and trying Confusion on the creature, stumbling in surprise as it failed.
"Again!"
Espeon was jumping this time she took full cover in the grass, ducking low to try and hide out of sight as the odd creature looked for it, scanning the grass in confusion.
"Well, it seems that Red is in trouble! He has Espeon who is paired against a Shedinja, a rare Pokémon which is immune to nearly all attacks!"
Red growled, clenching his teeth together as Espeon appeared, slashing her tail at the Pokémon, only to fumble as it passed harmlessly through the Pokémon, she cried out as a Shadow Ball hit her.
Once again she hissed, growling at the Pokémon before trying various attacks she knew, each time getting more and more desperate before she leaped to Red's side, letting out a desperate "Ess! Espeon on!"
"We've got it now! Finish this with Shadow Ball!" Cameron smirked victoriously as the creature sent one more towards Espeon, who tensed, about to jump out of the way.
Red shook his head and snapped, pointing to the ball and snapping again. Espeon looked at him startled but obeyed by shooting a Psybeam at the Shadow Ball, halting it as the attacks hit before exploding.
Her eyes alit with understanding as she yowled at Shedinja, spitting and hissing in her angry and dirty state, having taken several Shadow Balls and still remained.
"Finish this!"
Espeon waited, once a Shadow Ball had been formed, she used confusion, grasping the Shadow Ball and pausing it in mid air before letting it turn back and slam into the Shedinja, knocking it out instantly.
Red wasn't surprised at its little health, the fact it was near impossible to hit really added to the slight panicky it inspired.
"Tropius!" He called, a large flying grass type appeared as it roared at the tired Espeon.
Red pointed to the roof, confusing trainers but the Espeon sat, glowing blue as it closed its eyes.
"It appears that Espeon is using Morning Sun to absorb its health!"
"Stop it Tropius! Use Body Slam!"
Espeon flashed her eyes open, catching Tropius as it nearly fell on her, pausing as it held the massive Pokémon in the air as it struggled.
"Leaf Storm!"
Espeon cried out as she was struck, being sent skidding as she winced, picking herself up and glaring.
"Air Slash!"
"Esp Espeon!" Espeon growled, a powerful Psybeam slicing through the compacted air and striking Tropius who grunted, falling a few feet before rising, sending off a Leaf Tornado as commanded.
Espeon quickly destroyed it with a Psycic, then using the attack on Tropius itself as it dropped in surprise, crying out as it rose on four legs.
"Magical Leaf!"
"Esp!" Espeon cried, trying to dodge the colour changing leafs but wincing at how banged up she was looking, especially now that she hadn't restored a proper amount of power from Morning Sun.
"Finish this with SolarBeam!" Cameron shouted, and Tropius stilled, leafs extending on its back while it glowed a soft white.
Red pointed to the sun and the loyal beast started absorbing energy once more, glowing a soft blue which increased in color as nearly a minute grew by, each storing power.
"Release it Tropius!" Cameron shouted, Espeon slowly flicking her eyes open before glowing once again, this time, the compacted energy of the Solarbeam slowing and slowing before it very very slowly changed directions.
"What? No way- Tropius, Whirlwind!" Cameron shouted desperately, knowing that the Espeon would finish the job unless gotten rid of.
Espeon was recalled, but the redirected energy was too much, it slammed into Tropius, knocking it out and already, Cameron's last Pokeball was being sent out.
"Finish whatever it sends out Wailord!" Cameron shouted, the crowd gasping at the gigantic size of the largest Pokémon known to man.
Red blinked in surprise as Snorlax appeared, apparently the commentators already running on about how good looking his massive Pokémon was.
Red blinked, looked at the huge water Pokémon, and snapped his fingers.
Thunder struck down while Snorlax cried out with a confident "Laaaaax!"
Wailord fell over knocked out.
That time, the crowd didn't even bother announcing a winner as Red recalled his Pokémon, ignoring the cheers of his victory, it was getting annoying.
Review! Thanks for reading, and I hope the battling isn't too odd for you to understand.
