Zach's Adventure ch.5

A/N: Ch. 5 and Zach now has 2 rivals. I forgot to mention, any Pokémon can be found in any region, however Zach didn't know that till recently. Also, Ash is in the Hoenn Region at the time, so no Sinnoh Pokémon, yet.

Walking out of the Pewter city Gym, I was feeling pretty proud, well for about 2 seconds…

Meanwhile

"Night Slash in three, two, o...Halt, another person approaches" says?

Back to me

"Hey Zach! Let's Battle!" says Connor, who ran so fast upon seeing me, he broke the speed of sound. I was frozen in shock for a second but then responded "maybe later I need to rest after" I point behind me to the gym "that". Apparently Connor wasn't checking his surroundings because after I finished talking he ran into the gym saying "Gym Badge Gym Badge Gym Badge!"Yep that was Connor, anyways this gave me time to patch up Albert.

Walking into the Pokémon Center I dropped off my Pokémon (all 3 of them, I have GOT to get more) and headed to my room, just as I thought this became a usual thing (refer to Ch.3).I was about to lie on my bed, my nice, soft, comfy bed when HE appeared at my window. "Yo" he said (it's?), not wanting any drama before my nap I threw a pokeball at his head, he falls backward, and I close the window and the blinds. I finally hit the hay about to fall asleep, when he starts knocking on my window "you can't ignore me forever!"

That tears it, you can take away my trainer's license, and you can take away my Pokémon, BUT YOU DO NOT TAKE AWAY A MAN'S SLEEP! I slam open the window and yell "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BATTLE!" my first time challenging someone to a battle, Connor could wait, this guy is MINE!

Time Skip, 10 min.

I was holding onto Sparky's pokeball, angrily, ready to strike, because of our strong bond I knew he'd follow my every order. We had Connor as the referee (he finished his gym battle and wants to get this over with so he can battle me) and we were ready to fight. "GO!" we said

An Umbreon and Sparky entered the field. "Eeveelution Fight!" Connor yells, I then notice something about his Umbreon, it's shiny. "Impressed?" He says cockily, by comparison to Connor he was even more irritating. Anyways, first move, "Sparky use Thunderbolt!"Sparky charged up the attack and shot…and missed, Umbreon easily dodged the attack like it was nothing. This would take some strategy, as I was thinking He gave an interesting command "Midnight use Speed Shadow Claw!"…what? Oh well, if he uses a combo I'll use a combo "Sparky use make shift Volt Tackle!" the two combo attacks collided causing an explosion to occur. When the dust cleared we saw both the Eeveelutions had fainted, a draw.

I stood there for a second, a draw not much of a victory. "Good battle, everyone" I said putting on a fake excited attitude. "I agree, a good battle, my name is David" he said I finally decided to give him a look, he had a dark blue jacket, with a black shirt, the shirt had a blue ring in the middle , to resemble his Umbreon, and jeans. Interesting, I thought. All of us exchanged numbers and we headed back inside the Pokécenter, we dropped off our Pokémon with Nurse Joy and headed to the cafeteria. After a heavy lunch (we were all hungry after our big battles), we set out on our own paths: David… well he didn't really say, Connor went off to the Cerulean Gym, Me? I went to catch more Pokémon. However, our destinies were intertwined, we would meet again.

Time Skip, 1 hour

We (me, Sparky, Flare, Albert) had traveled all of route 3 and still hadn't found any Pokémon … okay, I take that back, I hadn't found any STRONG Pokémon. Just tiny, adorable, weak ones and annoying trainers.

Thud!

Arceus! I have GOT to stop walking when I'm talking to myself, I hope it's not that Tyranitar from before. … Yup that would be my luck, it was that exact same Tyranitar from the day I started my journey, except it seemed weak, like it's been attacked several times. Ok, Zach think, catch the Tyranitar and bring it to the Pokecenter but have a disobeying powerhouse? Or use thehyper potion I found while walking down route 3. Hyper Potion seemed like the better choice, so I grabbed it out of my backpack, the Tyranitar seemed to understand and showed me its wound, after healing Tyranitarit gave me a long appreciative lick, showing it was thankful for the healing. Back to my original question should I catch it? or let it go?, my question was answered for me as Tyranitar proceeded to grab an empty pokeball from my belt and put it in my hand, I understood it was coming with me. I proceeded to lightly press the pokeball to the dinosaur's head

1, 2, 3, ding!

Tyranitar was caught! I had a Pokémon that could demolish anything! ... Better not use him too often that just seems like cheating. I decide to name him Rex. With my new Pokémon in hand I ventured forward into Mt. Moon!

Time Skip, 25 minutes

"Hmmm I think we're lost" I say to the team, they sigh in depression, it hadn't taken but 2 seconds for us to get lost in the cave. We sat down and decided to take a break, I gave them lunch but I wasn't hungry, because the sound of my chewing wasn't filling my ears I heard something.

"Sol"

I turn my head in the direction of the sound and see an Absol, pissed off, we had apparently stopped on his territory (his, the voice was deep enough). "Guys battle positions!" I exclaim, upon my call Flare came to help. "Flare use Flame Wheel!" I say Flare then proceeds to wrap herself in fire and launched toward the Absol, The Absol, without much effort, dodged the attack. This Absol reminded me of Midnight, I had to catch it, this much agility would greatly help me, plus it seemed strong. While I was thinking it had charged up a Razor Wind and shot it "Flare dodge it and use…" Flare dodged and decided to try out a new move it learned while battling, it charged up the fire and shot, it came out in a spiral, Fire Spin. It caught both me and Absol by surprise, and the Absol was caught in the middle of the vortex. The Absol started to stumble, it wasn't going down just yet. It's time to use another item I found on route 3, "Great Ball! Go!" The blue pokeball flew to the Absol and caught him.

1, 2, 3, ding!

Absol was caught, and I really felt proud now. I decided to name him Ace, it just seemed to fit. I now had 5 Pokémon (though, I could only use 4) and I was feeling like I was top of the world. Ace came out of his pokeball and showed us how the way out of the cave. When we were out I looked at my team, and decided that a Flying type would be a nice addition.

And now for another agonizing walk down route 4, life just likes to torture me, huh?

A/N: The Combo moves are as follows:

Thunderbolt + Quick Attack = Make Shift Volt Tackle

Shadow Claw + Quick Attack = Speed Shadow Claw

That's all for now, this is the biggest chapter so far, isn't it?
