Tepig-Caesar- Level 16; Moves Ember, Flame Charge, Tackle, and Tail whip.
Looking up at the Striaton Gym, Caesar at my side. We had spent two day training for this fight. Working mostly on speed, someone tried to give use a Pansage for the battle against Cress but I refused. Caesar and I could do this on our own.
"Ready Caesar?" Snort with a lot of fire was my answer, Caesar was very large now weighing closer to 100 lbs and two feet tall hopeful he would evolve soon. The gym was built to look like a restaurant, which it is. Sighing I look for the gym guide, they were was always near the gym plack.
"Hello there, I'm Clyde, this gym's guide." A man wearing a suite without the jacket, he had silver hair and sunglasses. "You're here to battle?"
"Yes sir." Caesar called out his specials names in conformation.
"Well, let me tell the brothers." Clyde walked over to the checkout counter, suddenly two people walked out, they were dressed as waiters/waitress.
"You have to battle these two then you will be able to fight the brother Cress. You only have to fight these two once. If you lose against the leader, then you can come back tomorrow and battle him again." Clyde explained as we moved to the middle of the room, it was early enough there were only a few people eating.
"That sounds fair, Caesar and I only need today. We will get the badge." I was very confident in my Pokemon.
"Good! Then Waiter Maxwell will go first." The male waiter walked to the spot across from me.
"I shall be your first course, go Lillipup!" He called as he threw out his only pokeball.
"Caesar, this should be quick."
"Ready? Battle"
"Caesar Flame charge! Then Ember" Caesar body slowly became engulfed in fire as he ran at the other pokemon, at the same time he was also letting out ember from his nose. The Lillipup didn't even get to attack, he was down.
"Wow...Well I guess it's Waitress Tia's turn." Clyde said amazed on how quick the battle was. We spent a few days training, it looked like it paid off.
"I will be your second course, go Patrat!" I guess that have to stick with the whole restaurant theme, though she had two Pokemon.
"Caesar one more time!" He did the same combo as before, Patrat was out. Tia then sent out Purrloin, Caesar tried to do the combo for a third time, but the speed bost sent him way off course and into a, thankfully, empty table.
"Caesar!" Thankfully he was okay, Purrloin got in a scratch. Before Caesar was free of the table cloth.
"Caesar, use tackle." We need to slow down, it was different than using this outside. We had less room to work with. This battle was a little longer, using only tackle and ember but we won.
"Good job kid, you ready to face the gym leaders?"
"Yes, sir." I quickly healed Caesar up a bit while Clyde went to get the leaders.
"Welcome to the Striation Pokemon Gym!" Cilan the green hair brother said.
"I'm Chili! I light things up with Fire-type Pokemon." Chili the redhead.
"I'm the Water-type specialist and My name in Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
"And my name is Cilan, I like Grass-type Pokemon. Umm...you see..." Cilan started out. "As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."
"Oh, enough! Listen up!" Chili broken in. "The three of us will decide whom you'll battle based on your first type of Pokemon you chose!"
"That is indeed the case, and seeing as your first Pokemon was Fire-type. It seems we shall battle." Cress said moving into the middle of the room with sent out Lillipup, I knew he had the water type Panpour next. This battle was going to be quick if I hope to win.
"Caesar Flame Charge ember combo!" I was quick to call out, knowing it should only take one hit, maybe a tackle. Once it hit, it was a OH-KO.
"Wow amazing. Panpour." This is it.
"Work-up!" Cress called out, shot it upped his attack.
"Quick Caesar! Flame Charge!" Trying to keep his speed higher so hopefully he could dodge easier.
"Panpour water gun!" Crap! Caesar got a face full of water, it pushed him back, he didn't land his attack.
"Caesar tackle!" Hoping the normal attack would do enough damage.
"Water gun."
"Dodge Caesar!" He was just able to dodge, and latched another tackle. This went on of a while, Caesar dodging water attacks while trying to get his own in. Cress even used a potion, Caesar even had blaze kick in.
"Caesar, can you go on?" I asked after he was hit with a water gun again, sliding past me a bit.
"I'm good, I can go on!" Caesar yelled as he ran past me.
"I thought so!" Looking at Panpour was looking tried, having done so many water-guns and most missing, was starting to wear him down. Suddenly he started glowing, yes he was evolving! Once the glowing died down, I could see a Pignite standing were Tepig once was.
"Arm Thrust!" I hoped that the new move would be enough, thankfully it was, Cress was not ready for Caesar to evolve but I was.
"Wow...I lost." Cress said looking down at him Pokemon. "Why, you're quite remarkable. It's the Pokemon League's rule, so please take this badge." Cress pulled out said badge from his waiter's vest.
"As you know, gym badges are proof of a trainer's abilities." Thanking them, and giving Caesar a potion I headed back to the Poke- center. (Not going to do the Fennal Part) Walking out around mid afternoon I head to the place the locals called Dreamyard. I thought I saw some Team Plasma guys walking over there. They just didn't seem right to me, I had to find out.
"Hey White, are you going to the Dreamyard? You looking for the mysterious Pokemon too?" Pokemon?
"No just having a look around." I gave her a smile as she fell into step next to me. Suddenly just as we were about to go around a wall, we heard a cry.
"Did you hear that? Come on!" Bianca walked by me, I looked at Caesar.
"How much you want to bet it's the Plasma group?" Caesar was now around four feet tall, I didn't have to look down much to see him.
"I would lose that bet." He said as we walk o were Bianca was standing.
"Oww..." A small pink Pokemon was laying on the ground in pain.
"Oh poor thing..." Bianca talking caused the pink Pokemon to try and float away, we slowly walked closer.
"We found you, Munna!" We heard voices to our left, two people walked out wearing the Team plasma uniforms. I was right.
"Come on!" He kicked the poor thing.
"Huh? Hey who are you?!" Bianca called out, she must not have seen the speech at the Plaza. "What are you doing?!"
"Caesar get ready..." I spoke in a low voice to my Pokemon.
"You haven't heard about us? We are Team Plasma, we fight to liberate Pokemon from foolish humans!" The guy spoke, he girl kept kicking the Munna.
"Hey stop!" I called out, there was no need to hit a Pokemon. The Munna was really hurt.
"I will ask you once more to stop, if not I will use force." I stepped in front of Binaca.
"Hey you're Pokemon trainers. We must rescue your Pokemon from you!"
"White!" Bianca called as the guy let out his Patrat.
"Well aren't you two big hypocrites! Flame charge!" Patrat didn't stand a chance.
"You must not have taken him seriously because their kids! Whatever I'm next!" The girl yelled as she pushed the guy away. She sent out a Purrloin, I was puck to put it down with another Flame Charge.
"...I can't believe we lost. Whatever..." They went back to hurting the Munna. Just as I was about to get Caesar to remove them, their leader appeared.
"What are you two doing goofing off? We team plasma, shall separate Pokemon from foolish people! If you cannot fulfill your duties..." The whole time Ghetsis was talking he was disappearing and reappearing around us.
"Whaat..." The two grunts run away, and then Ghetsis was gone, and a Musharna popped up by the hurt Munna.
"...What just Happened,,,,"
"I think Musharna used illusions to trick the two grunts away... Bianca I think you should ask if you need to take Munna to the center." I said walking slowly toward the to floating pink Pokemon.
"Please..." Munna cried out, once Bianca was close enough to pick the poor thing up.
"Go ahead, you have to bring her back to her mom okay?" I yelled out as she run back to the city.
"Don't worry Bianca will bring Munna back, all nice and healed."
"I trust you, I shall wait." With that Musharna disappeared.
"Well Caesar, I think we will be seeing more of these Team Plasma people. I don't think the leader knows, or at least I hope, that his grunts are hurting Pokemon." I told Caesar as we walked out of town. Route 3 had a little kindergarten area a short way from the city, I was able to play with some kids before making my to the cave that was a little off shot from the route.
"White, stop!" Looking behind us I could see Cheren running from the city. "We both have the trio badge, so let's see which of us is stronger."
"Okay!"
"Go Oshawott!"
"Caesar..." He walked out from behind me, while he couldn't hide behind me, it was still hard to see him
"Wow, Caesar evolved. When?" Oshawott looked jealous, his rival was getting strong faster than he was.
"While battling Cress, it is what help us get the badge." Just before we could battle...
"Out of the way!" Two Plasma grunts came running from the city.
"What in the world..."Cheren said, before I could answer I heard Bianca call out.
"Hey did you see were those two people go?"
"They headed toward the cave," I said.
"Why were you chasing after them?" Cheren asked seeing the little girl hiding behind Bianca.
"Miss...my...My Pokemon..." She looked so close to cry, gripping Bianca's dress tightly between her hands.
"Ok it's okay! Please don't cry!" Bianca bent down to hug the little girl.
"Cheren I think we should go after them..."
"I think your right. Bianca stay here, White and I will go and get the Pokemon back." Cheren began running away with Oshawott right behind him, I was quick to follow him. I sent the two girl a quick wave. Caesar was right beside me. We ran to the cave, just as the two grunt disappeared into the opening.
"Ready White?" Cheren asked before we walked in.
"As I'll ever be." We both walked into the cave opening, seeing the two grunt with nowhere to go.
"Hey two trainers!" The turned around and let their Pokemon out. Cheren and I were quick to put the two weak pokemon out.
"What?! There strong!"
"How could we lose with the right way on our side." Just as they were about to hand over the pokemon two more voice called out.
"Hey! Don't return it!" Two more grunts came out from the back of the cave.
"How can Pokemon robbers be so self-righteous!" My friends angry at the grunts
"Does it matter, either way they are nothing more than low lives." I said looking at the two released Patrats, they looked a little stronger than the other grunts, but to enough to worry about it. Just like the last two they were quickly defeated, and they did the same spiel about liberating Pokemon before they throw us the stolen pokeball and left.
"How can they justify stealing Pokemon...Well I better go and return this Pokemon." Cheren gave me a quick wave before leaving the cave,
"Knowing team Plasma there may be a hurt Pokemon around here. You ready to look around?" I asked Caesar once I was sure Cheren was gone.
"Yeah, I hear something from where the grunts were at." Motioning for Caesar to lead the way in the dim cave. Up ahead there was the mantel Pokemon Roggenrola, it was hard to see how he was hurt but the fact he didn't move when we were close showed how hurt he was.
"Hold on, sweet heart I got ya." Thankfully he was mostly stuck on his side, a potion spray later he was running around us yelling his thanks before he disappeared into the darkness of the cave.
"Wait!" I heard a voice call out just before we left the cave.
"Hmm.." Looking back I see a Drilbur, he was very beat up.
"Oh are you okay?" I asked once he was close enough.
"Are you going to go after those people!" He asked wincing as the potion was sprayed on his wounds.
"I think so, our paths keep crossing. Why do you ask?" I smiled at him pulling out another potion.
"Take me with you! I was released because I was took weak!" I looked to Caesar, whom was watching the mole Pokemon the whole time we were talking.
"I believe he will make a great partner." Caesar smiled at him, the mole Pokemon looking very happy. I pulled out a dusk ball, pointing it the now healed Dilbur.
"Welcome to the Team Ryu." His spark was what I was looking for.
