Hey guys, The Red Riolu here! Wow another night's sleep and another over 100 views that make a total of over 500 views! Thanks to Unnamed Guest, Ashley and Aipom4 for reviewing! Over 200 visits too Wow! Thanks guys!
In this chapter Dan will meet his rivals and will have his 1st battle. Also some insights on his training with Jordan, Luke and Emil.
My answer to Aipom4's question is that: Yes Dan will meet his siblings Bella and Blake who are travelling together, but instead of Dan battling alone, he will be partnered up with a rival that will not yet be mentioned in this chapter. So in all, he will encounter all his siblings.
So at the end of this chapter I will try to give the summary of Dan's Pokemon.
NOTICE: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON!
ENJOY!
Dan woke up before sunrise to get some training before his battle with Ben later at noon. He got up his bed and checked the clock; it was 6:30am. Dan pulled off the covers, rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, took a towel and his bag then trudged into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, he put on his usual choice of clothes and tried to comb his hair down, but this time with some gel. Soon after he released his hand from his head, his hair stood up once again in its spiky fashion and sprayed gel on the bathroom mirror, the purple haired boy sighed and said "Why do I even bother."
Dan left the washroom with all traces of sleep off him and approached Luke, who was sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, to wake him up but before he could shake him awake the emanation Pokemon opened and eye in the same position and telepathically said "Don't, I'm up." Dan shrugged and walked up to Jordan who was peacefully sleeping on the bed.
The trainer tried to shake the little mouse awake but the Pokemon slapped his hand away and proceeded to sleep. Dan looked at him with an annoyed look and said "Jordan come on, we need to train alright?" The mouse Pokemon still didn't budge.
Dan then got an idea; he yelled to Jordan "I have a bottle of ketchup!" The mouse's eyes shot open and scanned the room for the said condiment but to no avail he looked at Dan and the boy said "Sorry Jordan, you wouldn't wake up so I had too."
The electric type looked at him menacingly with sparks coming from his cheeks and Dan thought "Uh-oh bad idea." Jordan released a bolt of electricity and shocked Dan until he smelled like smoke.
Luke looked at the duo and laughed while Jordan got off the bed and walked away from the purple haired trainer that had collapsed on the ground. Dan then said "I guess you're not a morning person huh Jordan?" The mouse looked at him and then turned away with his arms crossed.
Dan slowly got up, picked up his belongings and walked to the lobby of the Pokemon Center where Nurse Joy was standing at the counter and several trainers were up and about doing their business.
He looked at Jordan on his shoulders and at Luke walking beside him, shrugged and then went out the front door to look for a place to train. When he got outside the sun was just rising and he walked about the city to find a clearing where he could train.
As he was walking the streets of Viridian City he came across a crowd that was watching a battle happen between a guy with black hair and a green shirt and a guy with brown hair and a red shirt.
It looked like the guy with black hair was using some small monkey like Pokemon with a fire on his tail and the other guy was using a Ratata. He pointed his Pokedex at the unknown Pokemon and the device spoke "Chimchar, the Monkey Pokémon. Chimchar easily climbs the sheerest of walls and lives on mountain tops. When it sleeps, its flames go out."
Dan looked at it skeptically and said "A Chimchar huh?" As he watched the battle the black haired boy said "Chimchar Flamethrower" The liitle monkey shot a stream of flames from his mouth and directly hit the Ratata sending it a few feet back.
The other trainer then said "Ratata get up and use Hyper Fang" the rodent nodded and ran at the monkey with its teeth glowing but the Chimchar's trainer said "Quick dodge it and then follow it up with Flame Wheel"
The chimp nimbly jumped up, dodging the attack, rolled in the air setting himself of fire and came down smashing as a wheel of fire on Ratata. The small Pokemon was severely hurt and fell to the ground, obviously unable to continue.
A man then said "Ratata is unable to battle and the winner is Chimchar and Terry." The brunette walked over to the winner and handed over some money and then returned his Pokemon.
Dan looked at his Pokemon and turned around to find a place to train. After several minutes he got to the park and decided that he would train there. He walked over to one side of the park and released Emil from his ball and told the three of them to line up. Dan pulled out his pokedex and said "Okay guys, I'm going to check out your moves and stats to see on what we could train on. You first Jordan." He pointed the device at Jordan and it spoke "Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon. Apre-evolvedform ofPikachu. Despite their size, Pichu releasebursts of electricitythat can shock even humans. However, Pichu are unskilled at controlling their electricity, and sometimes release it by accident when surprised or when laughing and shock themselves. This Pichu is a male and its nature is Adamant. Its known moves are Thundershock, Iron Tail, Reversal, Agility and Volt Tackle."Dan looked at Jordan and said "That's some pretty good moves, so I guess you could warm up by builing up your speed first, so I guess that's five laps around the park." Jordan nodded and started to run around the park.
Dan then pointed the pokedex at Emil and it said "Rufflet, the Eaglet Pokémon. Rufflet's talons are powerful. Able to crack open even the toughest Berries. It often challenges stronger opponents to battle. This Rufflet is a male and its nature is Brave. Its known moves are Wing Attack, Peck, Quick Attack, Aerial Ace and Gust." Dan looked at Emil and said "I guess you should warm up now too, do what Jordan does but you have to fly around alright?" The Eaglet Pokemon nodded and flew into the air zooming around the park.
Finally he looked at Luke who was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed and arms crossed. He pointed the device at him and it said "Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. Riolu has the power to see and understand emotions like happiness and anger in aura waves. This Riolu is a male and its nature is Naughty. Its known moves are Force Palm, Karate Chop, Protect, Shadow Claw and Aura Shpere." Dan looked at the Riolu and said "That's some nice moves you've got. I heard that you couldn't even learn Aura Sphere till you were a Lucario, and Shadow Claw and Protect, that's some unusual moves you've got up your sleeve. Luke?" Dan looked at Luke once more but only now did he notice that he was sleeping, not leaning with his eyes closed.
Dan closed his eyes and a tick mark grew on his head and he yelled "Luke wake up! We have some training to do!" The emanation Pokemon's eyes shot open with surprise and looked around to see his trainer glaring at him and he said "Sorry Dan, I fell asleep" Dan's eye twitched and he said "It says here Riolu's have tough endurance, so do ten laps around the park."
Luke straightened himself up and started to run around the park. Dan remembered what his father said about training his Pokemon, the best way to train your Pokemon is to train with them. So Dan ran after Luke and Jordan and started doing laps himself.
After a couple of hours of jogging and running, Dan then started to train their attacks, he said to Emil who was perched on his shoulder "I want you to evade the attacks that Luke and Jordan throw at you got it?" The bird nodded and said "Ruf Rufflet Rufflet Ruf (Sure Dan, but make sure that I battle really tough enemies soon.)"
Emil flew around dodging Luke's Aura Sphere attack and Pichu's Thundershock. In the process of training, Jordan learned Thunderbolt and Emil learned Whirlwind. Luke was then practicing fighting moves with Dan while Jordan and Emil were training together.
Soon after, they were all tired and exhausted from training. Dan checked the time on his pokedex and it said that it was 10:30am. He looked at his exhausted team and said "Take a break, in an hour and a half we will have our battle with Ben." All three Pokemon fell tired and exhausted to the ground.
Dan opened his pack and took out three bowls and filled it Pokemon food then distributed it to his Pokemon. The three Pokemon ate their food while Dan took out some chips from his bag and started to eat it. Dan saw Jordan and Emil chatting with each other while eating and Luke was silently eating his food at a distance from the group.
When everyone was satisfied, Dan told everyone to rest for the remaining time and wait till the battle. Jordan hopped on his shoulder while Emil perched on his other one. Luke on the other hand sighed, and stood up, walked near the tree and sat under the shade.
Dan fixed his things and saw this; he walked over to Luke and sat down next to the Riolu and looked at him. He was leaning against the tree with his arm resting on his knee while his eyes were closed. Dan scooted closer to him while Jordan and Emil went to the other side and said "So what was your reason for running away that night?"
The trio looked at Luke but he didn't reply, Jordan shook him but then he started to snore. All three of the sweat dropped and Dan looked at Jordan and gave him a mischievous grin that Jordan returned in kind. Jordan was readying to shock Luke but suddenly Luke slapped his palm at Jordan's face, opened an eye and said "Don't even think about it Jordan."
Emil and Dan looked incredulously at Luke and at Jordan. Jordan moved away from Luke with a startled look on his face and the emanation Pokemon said "The reason I ran that night was because I didn't know you. I am usually uneasy around new people. The only people I am ever comfortable with are you and my old master."
Dan looked at him intently and said "By old master you mean my brother? He has jet black hair but the difference is that he has grey eyes." Luke looked at him and said "Yes, your brother, before he sent me to you, he told me to go easy on you because he said I can be a handful."
All four of them laughed and said "You got that right." He looked at his pokedex and the time was 11:50am. Dan looked at his team of Pokemon who were chatting with each other; he clapped his hands to get his attention and said "Guys! We've got ten minutes till our battle so we best get going."
Dan stood up and Jordan climbed on his shoulder once more and took his cap and put it on his head. Emil perched again on Dan's other shoulder and Luke slowly stood beside Dan and they started to walk to the park's battle field.
SCENE CHANGE
Dan walked to the park's battlefield area and there he was, Ben was standing near one of the battlefields. He saw Dan and waved at him and yelled "Hey Dan! Over here!"
He quickly approached Ben and said "Hey Ben, so we gonna do this or what?" Ben grinned and said "You bet we are now get ready for the fight of your life." Dan walked away from Ben and into the trainer's box on the opposite side, a referee came near the field and said "The battle between Ben Banton on Viridian City and…" he looked at Dan and he replied "Dan Ketchum, Pallet Town." The referee nodded and said "And Dan Ketchum of Pallet Town." When people heard the name they gathered around the battlefield hoping to watch the champion's son battle. "This battle will be a three on three match, trainers choose your Pokemon."
Ben adjusted his net that hung on his back, grabbed a Pokeball from his belt and said "Go Beedrill." The Pokeball opened and released a flying insect Pokemon. Dan pulled out his pokedex and it said "Beedrill. This Pokémon is an evolved form ofWeedle, following itsKakunastage. Itsstingis highly poisonous." Dan looked at his shoulders and said "That Beedrill looks tough, so Emil you up for the job?" The eaglet Pokemon nodded and looked excitedly at the bug Pokemon and flew on the field eager for the battle.
"Rufflet vs Beedrill, let the battle begin!" Ben immediately commanded "Beedrill Poison Sting" Poison spikes came out of Beedrill's needles and flew towards Emil.
Dan yelled "Beedrill dodge it." The eaglet Pokemon calmly flew to the right, evading the attack. Dan then said "Quick Attack Emil, then chain it with Aerial Ace."
The flying type zoomed towards Beedrill then Ben said "Dodge it Beedrill" The bee Pokemon quickly moved away but then Rufflet disappeared and then left the bug Pokemon unaware of where he was. Suddenly Emil reappeared behind Beedrill and landed a direct hit behind Beedrill.
Dan cheered and said "Alright now follow it up with Acrobatics." Ben watched and yelled for Beedrill to stay strong as Emil repeatedly landed swift hits at different parts of Beedrill's body.
Dan then yelled "Finish up with Aerial Ace" The flying type then zoomed towards Beedrill but then Ben yelled "Now catch him with your needles" Rufflet's eyes widened as his beak was caught between Beedrill's two needles.
Dan yelled "Emil get out of there." Ben grinned and then said "Poison Jab Beedrill" One of Beedrill's needles started to glow purple and quickly delivered a hit to Rufflet's body, sending him up into the air.
Dan then thought of a plan and said "Get ready Emil." Ben said "Follow up with Twineedle." Beedrill shot after Emil with amazing speed with both needles ready but then Dan yelled "Emil use Gust to push him off balance then use Aerial Ace."
Emil nodded and blew a gust of wind towards Beedrill and sent him back, and while he was off balance, Emil zoomed in with the Aerial Ace landing a direct hit and sending Beedrill crashing towards the ground. Ben yelled "Beedrill NO!"
The referee raised one of his flags and said "Beedrill is unable to battle, the winner is Rufflet." Ben raised his Pokeball and returned the fallen Pokemon and said "Nice job Beedrill, you deserve a good rest."
Ben looked at Dan and said "Not bad Dan, now let's see you handle this one for size. Go Pinsir!" Ben threw a pokeball and out came a brown Pokemon. Dan thought while pointing his pokedex at the Pokemon "What is that?" the machine spoke "Pinsir. This fearsome Pokémon uses its powerful claws to put the squeeze on its opponents." Dan thought "Emil has taken a lot of damage from Beedrill but…" The bird looked at him and smiled "But if he wants to battle, he can battle."
The referee raised his flags and said "Rufflet vs Pinisr, Battle Begin!"
Dan immediately said "Emil Quick Attack" Emil rushed towards Pinisir but Ben said "Pinsir use Harden"
Pinsir stood tall and hardened its skin. Emil crashed into Pinsir but the Pokemon looked unaffected. Ben then said "Grab him Pinsir"
Dan's eye widened and said "Don't let him touch you Emil, use Fury Attack" Emil repeatedly hit Pinsir in the face with its beak but it still managed to grab him. Ben then said "Now use Vital Throw" Pinsir growled and threw Emil towards a nearby tree. The eaglet Pokemon crashed there and fell to the ground with swirls in its eyes.
The referee raised his flag and said "Rufflet is unable to battle, the winner is Pinisr."
Dan ran over to Emil, picked him up and said "Emil are you alright?" The bird Pokemon nodded and Dan said "You did a nice job buddy now take a rest." He put him down on the floor next to Jordan and Luke. He looked at the field and saw that the Pinsir had taken damage from Emil's attacks so he said "Jordan, you're up." The mouse Pokemon did a fist pump and leapt to the field.
The referee yelled "Pichu vs Pinsir, Battle Begin!" Dan said "Jordan use Agility"
The mouse Pokemon nodded and ran around Pinsir with an increasing pace. Ben then yelled "Pinsir hold your ground then use Harden" The Pinsir stood straight and hardened its skin once more but then Dan said "Jordan hurry, before he finishes, Iron Tail."
Jordan ran forward and smashed his tail on Pinsir's head before he could finifh, the bug Pokemon grunted in pain and then its trainer said "Grab him" Dan then smiled and said "Oh no you don't, Jordan stay in place."
Jordan did as he was told and was grabbed by Pinsir, Luke then said "Dan, what are you doing?" Dan grinned and said "Watch"
Ben said "Wow Dan, what was that? Pinsir ready your Vital Throw." Dan then said "Ben, never make contact with an electric Pokemon. Now Jordan Thunderblot!" Jordan released a large amount of voltage at point blank range which lit up the Stag Beetle Pokemon and then the bug Pokemon fell to the ground smoking and with swirls in its eyes.
The referee raised his flag and said "Pinisr is unable to battle, Pichu is the winner!" The crowd cheered and then Ben returned Pinsir and said "Nice work" He then looked at Dan and said "For your first battle, you're pretty good. Now let's see you deal with this Pokemon, Go!" Ben threw his third pokeball then out came a green pokemon that resembled a mantis. Dan pulled out his pokedex then it said "Scyther, the Mantis Pokémon. Its claws are sharp as swords, and it is a powerful flyer. This Pokémon is rarely seen by humans and almost never captured." Dan nodded and said "Jordan! You ready!" The mouse turned and gave him a grin. Luke and Emil cheered for their friend.
The referee raised his flag and said "Pichu vs Scyther , Battle Begin!" Ben quickly said "Scyther Swords Dance" The mantis Pokemon did a graceful dance with his arms and began to glow a red aura.
Dan smiled and said "Jordan Thunderbolt" The mouse Pokemon shot a bolt of electricity at the Scyther but then Ben yelled "Deflect it Scyther" The pokemon yelled and then swung one of its arms, intercepted the bolt and sent it in a different direction. Dan then muttered "Guess ranged won't do, so let's get physical. Jordan Iron Tail!"
Jordan ran to the bug type with his tail glowing and attempted to smash it on its head but the bug type raised its arm and blocked it with its arm glowing red. Dan's eyes widened and said "That Fury Cutter, move Jordan!" The mouse scrambled back to their side and then Ben said "How do you like my Scyther? He's my starter Pokemon, he is pretty fast and strong too huh?"
Dan nodded and said "You did a good job raising him, but not Jordan get in there with Iron Tail." Jordan once again attempted to hit the bug type with Iron Tail but the bug Pokemon blocked it once again and this time Ben yelled "Rapid Fury Cutter" Dan panicked because he knew each time Fury Cutter hit, it got stronger.
Dan watched as Jordan was repeatedly hi with the bug type attack. With a final stroke Jordan was sent back in front of Dan. He then said "Come on buddy, get up." The Pichu nodded and stood up once more. Dan said "Follow my lead alright, Jordan Quick Attack"
Jordan rushed in front of Scyther but Ben yelled "Guard yourself with X-Scissor" Then the Pichu leapt over the attack and landed right in front of a open Scyther. Dan then yelled "Now Jordan Volt Tackle!"
Jordan rushed towards Scyther and covered himself in electricity and tackled the Scyther's stomach with the super effective attack. Scyther was sent back and fell to the ground with swirls in his eyes.
The referee raised his flag and said "Scyther is unable to battle and the winner of the match is Dan Ketchum!" The crowd cheered and Dan hugged Jordan as he leapt towards him. He then said "Awesome job buddy! You rock!"
Ben returned his Scyther and walked over to Dan and said "Well that was the best match I have ever had. Nice job Dan." The two boys shook hands as Dan's three Pokemon stood by him and cheered.
Suddenly a voice said "I challenge you to a one on one battle. And I want to go against him." The boy with the Chimchar from earlier moved out of the crowd and pointed towards Luke.
Ben then whispered to Dan's ear "Watch out dude, that's Terry Waltzer. The guys is really good at battling and I heard he comes from Sinnoh."
Dan looked at him and said "Alright I accept your challenge."
The two boys approached the battlefield and then the referee said "The battle between Dan Ketchum of Pallet Town and Terry Waltzer of Twinleaf Town will now begin. This will be a one on one battle. Trainers choose your Pokemon."
Dan looked at Luke and said "Luke you're up." The emanation Pokemon nodded and walked on the field. While Terry said "Chimchar, lets battle" Out of the ball, the fire type appeared on the field jumping with energy.
The referee announced "Riolu vs Chimchar, Battle Begin!" Terry commanded "Chimchar Flame Wheel" The chimp shrouded itself in a ball of fire and rolled towards Luke.
Dan then said "Luke use your Force Palm." Luke looked at him and nodded, as the Flame Wheel was approaching, his hands glowed green and then he placed it in front of him and then caught the attack and then released a pulse of force that sent the Chimchar back.
Terry then said "You're good, just as I expected from the son of a champion." Dan nodded and said "Thanks, you aren't half bad yourself." Terry smiled and nodded.
Dan then said "Luke Aura Sphere" Luke formed a red Aura Sphere in his hands and fired it at Chimchar. Terry then commanded "Chimchar Dig"
As the attack was going to hit, Chimchar burrowed itself on the ground and dodged the incoming attack. Luke then looked around to see where the chimp may come out. Dan then said "Luke ready a Karate Chop"
As soon as Chimchar burst out of the ground, Luke hit him in the neck with a Karate Chop and sent him flying back. Terry then said "Chimchar! Buddy get up!" The chimp growled and glowed bright white. Its tail got longer and his body got taller. Dan recognized this as evolving and soon a new Pokemon stand before him.
Dan pulled out his Pokedex and it said "Monferno, the Playful Pokémon and the evolved form ofChimchar. Monferno launches aerial attacks off of ceilings and walls and its fiery tail is used as one of its weapons." Dan nodded and said "It evolved huh? Guess this got interesting didn't it Luke?" The Riolu smiled at him and said "I guess it did, order away Dan."
Dan said "Go Luke, use Shadow Claw" Luke's hand glowed a shade of blue as he ran towards the newly evolved Modferno , Dan smiled because he recognized this as Focus Punch. Terry yelled "Fire Punch Moferno!" The two fighting types' fists collided and caused a explosion, Dan then said "Aura Sphere" Terry yelled "Flamethrower"
The two attacks collided and cause another massive explosion, both Pokemon looked close to fainting and then Dan said "Focus Punch! Full Power!" Terry then commanded "Fire Punch! Max Power!"
The two Pokemon ran towards each other with fists glowing and then they both hit each other in the face at the same time. The two stayed in that position for five seconds then both fell to the ground at the same time.
The referee raised his flag and said "Both Pokemon are unable to battle. This match is a tie!"
Dan ran towards his friend with Jordan and Emil on his shoulders and said "Nice job Luke, that Modferno was tough but you managed to par with it." Luke nodded and said "Yeah, I am pretty great." The trio laughed and helped him up.
Dan approached Terry, held out his hand and said "Good battle Terry." The boy smiled, grasped his hand and said "Same to you but remember this, were rivals now alright?"
Dan smiled and said "Rivals? Well same goes for me Terry."
