A/N: I've been thinking, I've posted Zach's Team on my profile; now I'm wondering if I should do the other characters as well. Oh, and I decided to keep the original rule of a trainer only having 6 Pokémon. Also, I base all my city descriptions on their Soul Silver/Heart Gold Versions. Main Characters and their Pokémon are based off real life people/Pokémon (somewhat)
Pure Gamer: ok, the description is something I can do, or at least try. The exciting/original thing, that'll be a little bit harder.
Chapter 14: Introducing the 5th
"Hello professor Oak" I said through the video-phone. "Ah, Zach, it's good to hear from you again; I take it you want to switch Pokémon?"Oak asked. "That's right professor, I'll be sending Rex your way, send Charles back to me" I explained. "Alright just a second" Oak said going off screen to get Charles. Eventually he came back and we swapped the Pokémon. "There you go Zach, I'll see you next time" Oak said cancelling the call. Well, that's one crisis solved, onto the next; what to do today. I had traveled back to Saffron City, mostly because it was in the middle of the region.
I looked into my bag for my badge case. When I found it, I opened it and checked my badges. It's been a while since I got one; I think Celadon City would be the closest gym. With that I set out, onto route 7. I looked around; Route 7 was shorter than I thought it would be. The grass was short and nicely trimmed, flowing in the breeze, there were a couple of nice dark green trees here and there, a lot of tall grass to my right, and an entrance to the Underground Path, although it was closed. Otherwise it was short; I strolled down the path, enjoying the sights. I reached Celadon City in about 5 seconds.
Oh gosh, the city was huge! No wait, the buildings just made it seem that way. The city had tons of buildings, it seemed the farther left you went the bigger the buildings. They also came in a variety of colors; blue, green, and gray. I figured one of the biggest buildings was the pokemart. There was a small purple building with dazzling flashing lights on it; I figured it was the Game Corner. After taking a stroll around town I found the gym, however there was somebody standing in front of it, "What's going on?" I asked. "Ah, are you a challenger? Sorry, the leader isn't here right now, please come again later" he informed. "Ok, see you later" I said walking off.
Great, I'm back to square one, "What're you looking so down for?" a voice asked. That voice, I recognized it from my childhood. "Erin!"I exclaimed. Erin was Savannah's older sister; in fact she's even older than me, only by one year though. She was wearing sleeveless jacket with a long sleeved lavender shirt underneath, and some jeans with tennis shoes. "What're you doing here?"I asked. "You mean you don't know this city is also known as Girl City, because of all the makeup and perfume?" she explained. "No, but that explains the smell" I said pointing to the left "Anyways, do you want to battle? I've got nothing better to do" I asked. "I don't think that's a good idea, I'm pretty strong" she explained.
"S…Still I want to battle" I stuttered. "Well, okay; follow me" she said walking out of the city into Route 7. "This should be a good place" she commented, pulling a pokeball off her belt "your funeral if you lose" she teased. "Starters first; 3 on 3" I added. We threw our pokeballs into the field. I sent out Sparky and she sent out her Empoleon. It was a very shiny color of black, obviously well taken care of; its beak was a shiny almost goldish yellow. Its eyes were a deep bluish color, I'm sure if stared into them, you would see an ocean. "Wait a second, Sinnoh Pokémon weren't discovered until recently; how is that your starter?" I asked. "They weren't released publicly, but I found this one in the water near the Bond Bridge" she explained. "I see, well no matter; Sparky use Thunderbolt" I say. "Pengy use Drill Peck" she ordered. Sparky shot off the Thunderbolt but it was cut through by Drill Peck and then proceeded to go on and hit Sparky. However, it didn't seem to do much damage at all. "Sparky, Volt Tackle" I say. "Pengy, Aqua Jet" Erin commands, the two attacks start, although Aqua Jet hits first. Not wanting to stop because of a little water, Sparky keeps charging on into Pengy. Sparky crashes into Pengy's stomach causing it to stumble backwards a few feet. When Sparky stopped charging Pengy grabbed him, preventing him from moving. "Now Pengy use Hydro Cannon" Erin ordered.
Pengy began charging up the water in his mouth, Sparky was obviously freaking out, and he was struggling and struggling. Suddenly he stopped, I noticed rain clouds began forming; "JOLTEON JOLT JOLT!" Sparky shouted, the moment he did a giant lightning bolt shot down from the clouds and shocked Empoleon. "Thunder" I whispered, the attack finished and Sparky managed to break free of Pengy's grip. "Quick Sparky while he's recovering; use Volt Tackle" I exclaimed. Immediately, Sparky charged at Empoleon with all his might. "Pengy stop him" Erin said lowly. Suddenly, Pengy shot a wing out in front of him, and grabbed Sparky by the head. "And now, shoot" Erin said. Pengy finally shot the Hydro Cannon that he made earlier. Sparky was engulfed in the water in a matter of seconds. Type advantage didn't matter at this moment; a Hydro Cannon is strong enough to hurt almost anything. Eventually the attack stopped and Pengy dropped Sparky.
Sparky stood up, this was NOT over yet. I just noticed, the rainclouds from earlier were even bigger. "Sparky shoot a bunch of Thunder bolts into the clouds" I commanded. He looked at me with a confused look, but did it anyways. "What are you planning" I heard Erin whisper. I also heard a slight rumble in the clouds, "Now shoot a Thunder into the clouds" I said. He followed the orders without asking, the rumbling got even louder, and it was ready. "Now, shoot a Shadow Ball at Pengy" I said in triumph. Sparky shot off the dark energy ball, about halfway to Pengy a giant Thunderbolt shot from the clouds and covered the Shadow Ball in electricity. With the absorbed electricity the Thunder Ball sped up and hit Pengy. Finally, Pengy fell to his knees, then the ground. "Great job Pengy, return" Erin said. "You Too Sparky" I say.
"Alright, go Albert" I exclaim. "Pidgeot go" Erin said. Albert hit the field and Pidgeot hovered over it. Her Pidgeot's wings were a nice light brown color. Its talons were long and ready to attack. This time she had the type advantage, "Albert, Power Whip" I command. "Pidgeot, Air Slash" she said. Albert shot out a vine, but Air Slash deflected it. "Pidgeot, Hurricane" she commanded. Crud, the clouds were gone and the sun was out; for those who don't know, Hurricane has a 70% accuracy that increases to 100% in sunlight. However, this is also good for me. "Al use Solarbeam" I order. The two super attacks collide, cancelling each other out and creating a dust cloud. "Pidgeot, Sky Attack" Erin said behind the dust. I had no clue where the attack would come from or when. "A…Albert Magical Leaf" I say. Albert shot the leaves in every direction of the dust. We heard nothing from the other side. We got worried and prepared for the worst. Suddenly Pidgeot shot out of the dust; it was covered in a white light.
It smashed straight into Al, and almost knocked him into me. The dust finally cleared and we could see again. Al was running low on energy; I bet he could take one more strong hit tops. "Al use Energy Ball" I order. "Pidgeot, Air Slash" Erin said plainly. Albert shot off the energy ball, which was deflected by Air Slash. "Pidgeot, finish it up with Fly" Erin commanded, Pidgeot flew high up into the sky and started diving down towards Al. "Al stop it with Solarbeam" I order. Al began charging up the beam, but by the time it was finished Al had already been tackled by Pidgeot. Al fell to the ground, what little of a Solarbeam he had charged scattered to the wind.
"1 to 1, it all comes down to this" I said. "Yup" Erin replied. We threw our last pokeballs. I sent out Jack and she sent out Garchomp. It was a deep blue in body color, and red underbelly. Its eyes were black, the only color it had was its yellow pupils. It had a fin on its back, with piece in the middle missing. "Jack use Mach Punch" I called out. "Chomp use Dragon Claw" Erin said, the two hand attacks collided, they seemed evenly matched; "Jack, Bullet Punch with your other hand" I command. Jack immediately shot his left fist towards Chomp's face. "Chomp, Dragon Claw on your other hand" Erin countered. Chomp pulled up his other claw in order to deflect Jack's Bullet Punch. I was running out of options, Jack only knew punching moves. Although, when I saw his eyes as he was struggling to win; he had a special kind of determination, I didn't need to guess why, he wanted…no, needed to win. He needed to prove he was strong enough to take down any opponent. "Jack, back off" I ordered. He obviously didn't want to, but he did it anyways. "And come back in with a Mach punch!" I exclaimed. He smiled and charged back in with his high speed punch. "Chomp, Dig" Erin commanded. Right before Jack could make a connection Chomp suddenly sunk into the ground, as if it was water. "That's really weird" I commented looking at the rippling patch of grass where Chomp once stood. "Yeah, well, he is the Land Shark Pokémon, it probably felt natural to him" Erin explained.
I stood looking for a signal that would show Chomp's position. "Dragon Rush" Erin said plainly. Suddenly, a fin, glowing with a darkish blue color, I'm guessing Dragon energy, emerged from the ground and hit Jack in the left foot. I don't think he knew what was going on, as when Jack went stumbling backwards after the attack. "Open a hole in the ground" Erin ordered; Chomp popped his head out of the ground for a second before submerging again. 'What are you planning' I thought. "Dragon Rush from the front" Erin commanded, the fin emerged again like before and went straight for Jack. This time Jack jumped backwards "stop, and submerge" Erin ordered. I suddenly got an idea in my head, "Jack use Mega Punch on the ground!" I exclaimed. Jack gave a, somewhat, psychotic smile. He smashed his fist into the ground, breaking the surrounding area into jagged slabs of the earth. Jack jumped back again, in case the rubble collapsed. "Sand Tomb" Erin said triumphantly, only then did I notice that Jack was standing on the hole made earlier. Suddenly, a small tornado of dirt surrounded Jack and trapped him in place. "And now Dragon Rush, straight up" Erin said pointing up with her left hand. Chomp shot out of the hole, covered in the same blue energy his fin was earlier and tackled Jack from beneath him. Jack was shot towards the sky and ended up landing in front of me.
I kneeled down and said to him "come on, get up Jack, and show them your true power". Jack got back up, he was a little wobbly, but he was up. He tightened his belt and clenched his fists; this was showing he was going to use the Black Belt's power and Iron Fist's power. I calmed down; this was not the time to be stressing out. "Close Combat" I said slowly. Jack ran as fast as he could, it sometimes seemed like he was warping from one spot to another. His fists started glowing a slight red color. Eventually he reached Chomp and started punching with all his might; he was going for an all out final attack. "Chomp come back at him with Dragon Claw" Erin ordered. The two fist attacks kept colliding with the opponent's body and face, neither side seeming to tire. As I was watching the two go at it, I noticed something was moving on Chomp that wasn't his arms. I looked closely; it was a fang 'Dragon Fang' I thought, wait, if Chomp was this strong on his own than…! Erin smirked "so you noticed? Chomp engage the Dragon Fang" she called out. The fang around Chomp's neck started to glow and his fists got even faster.
"Crud, Jack switch to Mach punches!" I yelled; his fists switched from red to white in a matter of seconds. His fists sped up to almost as fast as Chomp's. However I noticed they had both tired out, time for the final hit, "Jack, finish it with Bullet Punch!" I yelled, He raised his right fist and shot for it. "Chomp, let's end it with Dragon Rush" Erin yelled, Chomp charged straight into Jack and Jack punched Chomp right before he hit. They both stood locked in position for about 5 seconds. Then they fell backwards onto the ground. The result was a tie.
"It's a tie, let's leave it at that, for now" I compromised. "Agreed" Erin approved "Well I gotta go, see ya later" she said walking off. "Wait!" I said running up to her "Let's trade pokegear numbers" I explained. "Oh, that" she remembered. We swapped numbers and she started walking off again.
"Great, another crazy person has entered my life" I sighed and walked back to the pokecenter. "I'd like a room and my Pokémon healed, please" I tried to ask politely. "My, it's been a while since I've seen a boy come to this city" Joy commented. "Don't remind me" I groaned grabbing the room key and putting my pokeballs on the desk. I walked to my room and plopped down on my bed. I would need my energy for tomorrow's battle.
A/N: Wow, that battle scene was longer than I thought it would be! I wonder if it's because I tried describing Erin's Pokémon. Anyways, in case you didn't figure it out, the title refers to the introducing of Erin, our fifth (and hopefully final) main character.
Pure Gamer: How did I do?
