Chapter 7- Falkner
I looked at my pokemon within the pokeball but since I really couldn't see the pokemon from inside I called it out. "Go pokemon." That is what I say when I don't know what pokemon it is but this time I had a pretty good idea of who it was.
"Bellsprout." The pokemon wobbled back and forth, back and forth, then forth and back. Totodile watched and followed the Pokémon's movement. It was relieving seeing Totodile get a new friend.
"Sprout." It cheered happily and Totodile did the same.
"Bellsprout I'm Desiree and I'm your new trainer. Are you okay with that?" Bellsprout nodded.
Totodile walked right up next to Bellsprout and yanked it's leaf. It glanced at my pokemon for one minute then looked sad it began to sob really loud. I covered my ears and thought to myself 'Great now I have a pokemon that throws fits'. Totodile looked at me asking "What did I do? I was just playing?" I chuckled softly and picked up Bellsprout. I rocked it back and forth like a child trying to stop it from throwing a tantrum.
"It's okay Totodile didn't mean to do that he was just saying hi." I placed the calmer Bellsprout down to see I sighed "Great now I have a special Totodile and a childish Bellsprout." I whispered to myself. How am I supposed to survive in battle?
Totodile walked up to me and tugged on my ever so large backpack that's when I remembered that I had my egg in my gigantic bag. When we pulled it out it was glowing as if it were ready to hatch.
"I see you have a pokemon egg." A voice said to me while I was paying attention the attractive glowing egg. I whipped around to see who the voice belonged to it was none other than Falkner. " Too bad it's not a flying type." He must've known already what it was. "It'll hatch in a day or so." He walked off just leaving me there wondering what the heck just happened.
"Maybe it will be a Reshiram." I joked I doubted a giant legendary from Unova would hatch despite the egg being mostly white. Totodile looked at the egg in fear he stepped a few steps back then politely waved at it. I laughed at my polite and gullible pokemon. "Time to train." I knew I needed to do this especially since Totodile couldn't use any other attack unless it was physical. I didn't know what Bellsprout could do.
I reached into my bag for my pokedex that Professor Elm had given to me finally after I caught Totodile. I pointed the device at my pokemon the small device scanned Bellsprout and read "Vine Whip, Stun spore." I gulped that wasn't a lot of moves for me to use on a pokemon that was strong against grass types. How inconvenient!
"Bellsprout can you use Vine Whip?" I asked politely getting a positive answer by getting the attack I had asked for. I observed the attack completely.
"Great now can you use stun spore." As the yellowish dust poured out around the sky I felt success. Totodile hid its snout in my bag to keep from paralysis.
"Let's go challenge the gym now." I cheered as we ran to the gym entrance.
"So you decided to challenge me." Was what Falkner said when I ran into him at the door. I replied with the most expected answer, yes.
We faced each other the gym floor looked like any other typical pokemon gym in Johto there were normally two sides in each gym so we could battle facing each other. Pokeballs in hand we were ready to have our battle. Falkner looked at me his malicious grin told me he already knew the results of the battle.
"Pidgey come on out and use Gust." Falkner ordered.
"Totodile come on out and use bite." I ordered.
Totodile charged at the bird and did probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen I do. He jumped up and did a flip so that he would point downward into a dive and took a big chomp out of the bird. The weight was too much and both were grounded. Pidgey lay on the floor unconscious but Totodile was still standing. But he did take damage from it. Now the stronger pokemon would come out it always was the finale and normally very hard.
"Go Pidgeotto use Quick attack." It was way too quick to do anything for Totodile and the impact was horribly strong. It was all it took and I had only one pokemon to use.
"Bellspout go!" I called "Use Vine Whip!" I watched as Bellsprout brought its leafy whip that lashed at the bird. It was still airborne. I swallowed hard if Falkner used any sort of flying type move it was over for me. I was running out of ideas if I were to do anything I would need to do it now. I racked my brain to see if I could find an solution. I got it!
"Bellsprout use stun spore." Bellsprout did what it was asked.
"Fool! I can just fly above the cloud and wait it out. In fact do it Pidgeotto!" Falkner smiled his sneaky smile.
Now it was time to act on my plan. "Bellsprout use Vine whip and bring Pidgeotto down!" I ordered looking at Falkner's knocked for six look. He never anticipated a move like that one from a team like us. The cloud cleared away and Pidgeotto stood there paralyzed with true shock this must of never happened to a team like those two always the typical style.
"I haven't seen that since-" Falkner stuttered but didn't order Pidgeotto to do anything because he really couldn't.
"Now one more vine whip!" I ordered and Bellsprout followed through. Pidgeotto was out for the count. I jumped and celebrated I won!
"What a great battling style I really appreciate it." Falkner looked shaken from his foundation he surely didn't expect that! I snickered. Was I proud? Of course I was! And when I got my shiny new badge it didn't help my newly found ego. I placed it in my new case for badges.
I thanked him for the great battle and left. When I got out of the door I felt a tremor from the back of the bag. I rushed to get my egg out of my backpack it was ready to hatch.
