Zach's Adventure Ch.4
A/N: chapter 4, as usual and Criticism is appreciated and will be added at some point.
"Albert, it's boring but it'll do" I state flatly looking at my newly caught Pokémon. It looked at me with curiosity and obedience. "Well might as well train, Hey Flare want to help?"The Pokémon nodded. We are, currently, still walking through Viridian forest (we're lost). Anyways, let's see if Al was worth catching.
I pull out my (blue) pokedex and check Al's moves. "Vine Whip, Razor leaf, Absorb, Sleep powder" explains Dexter. "Wow, pretty good" I say to the hairball, who smiles (?) proudly. "All right Albert use razor leaf!"Albert immediately responds by shooting bunches of leaves at Flare "ok Flare use Ember!" Flare responds by accurately hitting each leaf dead center. "Good job both of you!"I encourage my words seemed to have reached them as they now looked determined. "Alright now use vine whip!" what followed was well … strange, but awesome.
Time Skip, 1 hour (long, huh?)
Smash! I slammed open the doors to the Pewter city gym. There sitting in the back was an 8 year old that kind of looked like Brock "My name is Forrest! Are you here for a gym challenge? Because I'm the gym leader!" "Yeah I'm here for a challenge!" We both grab pokeballs "GO!"We say in unison. An Onix and Albert appear on the field. "Onix use Take down!"Forrest yells."Albert dodge and use Razor Leaf!"Al does a little twirl to dodge then stops to use Razor leaf, the rock snake is hit by the dozen leaves. It falls to the ground, defeated. "1 down 2 to go" I say to myself, true to my word he had 2 more pokeballs on his belt. "Go Geodude!" he says, "Geodude use Rock Throw!" Geodude picks up a rock (from out of nowhere) and throws it (rock throw, duh) Al, of course dodges it. "Al use Vine Whip!" I yell, you know earlier when I said something weird happened well it was this, Instead of 1or 2 vines coming out 30 to 40 came out and hit the rock creature simultaneously. Geodude fell to the floor from the harsh beating.
1 left and I still haven't lost a single Pokémon, pretty good for a first gym battle even if this does count as cheating."Go Groudon!"… Wait what "… Gotcha! Ok go Fortress!" that's more reasonable… wait no it isn't. "A steel type isn't affected by grass, time to swi…" "Fortress Mean Look!" "…tch, never mind" I say. With Albert now trapped I had to think up a new strategy, ok grass works but it's not very effective against steel, right? I think so, here we go, "Albert use Sleep powder!"I yell to the hairball. He responds immediately and sprays his dust. "Fortress, Rapid Spin!" …Dang it, the spinning pushed the dust away. "Ok then, use Vine whip!" Albert did so (less excitedly) "Fortress Rapid Spin, again!"Forrest said with a wicked grin, again the attack was reflected .Things weren't looking good, that is until Al turned to me and said "Tan Tang Tangela!",somehow I understood "all right show me!" Tangela shot out dozens of leaves, but they weren't green they were purple, Magical Leaf. "Fortress use Rapid Spin!" said Forrest not noticing the difference. The leaves were about to be reflected, but then "Strike from above!"I said, knowing that Magical Leaf could be controlled. Just as expected the leaves went above Fortress and hit him on the head. Fortress spun around a little more than stopped and we saw he had been defeated.
I had won my first gym battle, I had won my first gym battle that was all I could think as Forrest walked over to me, Boulder Badge in hand. "Here you go, The Boulder Badge!"Said Forrest. I was so excited!, I looked over at Albert and he was sleeping peacefully, I couldn't help but chuckle."Thanks Forrest, you put up a great fight!"I exclaimed, "Thanks, you too!"He said. With my new Boulder Badge in hand I set off ready to catch more Pokémon and take on Cerulean City! Oh, yeah and find Ash along the way.
Meanwhile
"Bre Umbreon…"said an Umbreon watching the whole battle with its Trainer "Yes Midnight that is the one we're looking for" Said? "The one that also started with an Eevee…"
A/N: dun dun dun Cliffhanger! Find out who this Mystery man (boy) is next chapter. Btw, I don't own him or Midnight (the Umbreon) they belong to another one of my friends.
