Welcome to the worst chapter of my life. Sorry, couldn't get a chapter out last week because had exams and was studying before it and resting after so I'm a week late (yay). Well this chapter imo is just… bad but I thought I'd post it anyway to show you my shame :) Enjoy
Ep 3: The Flock of Miss-Flight
"Alright Fennekin finish this with Flame Charge!" Bree commanded the small fox Pokemon. Fennekin drenched herself in fire before charging forwards and knocking over the Spewpa. Fire scorched Spewpa and it quickly fainted after only two hits. Fennekin had majorly levelled up since our battle yesterday. It was already strong enough before but now she was over powered. "Alright, go pokeball!" Bree threw the small device at the fainted Spewpa and it hit her on the head. The pokeball wobbled a few times until a delightful PING sound was made. "Yes! I caught a Spewpa!" Bree's face was filled with delight. This was her first caught Pokemon, so she was really excited.
"Congrats Bree!" Kevin told the early-teen. He had already caught himself a Bunnelby so I was the only person who hadn't caught a Pokemon out of the group. "You need to catch up!" he pointed at me with a wide smirk on his face. I smiled and nodded back to him. A funny thing then happened. I didn't know whether it was a coincidence or if it was fate. The flock of Fletchinder and Fletchling that had injured Staraptor were now causing a ruckus in the sky. They were fighting with a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto.
"Ge-otto!" all of the Pidgeotto screeched as they flapped their wings and created a massive Gust that started to knock the native Kalos Pokemon back. All of the Fletchling were knocked back by the vicious wind but the Fletchinder kept their position.
"Fletch!" the Fletchinder all then spat out a fiery Ember attack but combined, it created a massive blazing ball. The fire ball slammed into the other flock and they all were knocked into the trees. The Fletchling joined the Fletchinder in the sky and they all seemed to have a devilish look on their faces and they looked down upon their prey.
"Who do those birds think they are? Why do they just go and attack everything they see?!" I asked with gusto in my voice.
"Tyler why are you getting so worked up over this?" Bree questioned me with a hint of worry in her voice.
"These birds hurt Staraptor. Now they go and attack a wild flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. They need to learn how to respect others!" I looked down at the pokeball that I felt in my hand. I didn't know how it got there but I felt as if my hand was telling me to battle these birds and teach them a lesson. "Chespin, show time!"
"Pin!" my Pokemon cried as he burst out of the small spherical device. I could feel myself getting worked up and I no longer felt apart of nature in this forest, all I felt was strength. I was strength. I am strength.
"Chespin, Vine Whip!" I commanded it. Chespin quickly threw two vines at the birds who had surely noticed we were here now that Chespin was out and attacking them. The Fletchinder were quick and avoided the attack with ease but the Fletchling started to get slapped silly by the attack. "And now Tackle!"
"Ches!" Chespin screeched as he whooshed into the sky and went head on towards the Fletchling who were still dazed from the previous attack. But Chespin didn't even reach them because two Fletchinder swooped down from the sky and slammed into Chespin with a double Flame Charge attack! "PINN!" Chespin fell from the sky and went straight into the ground, leaving a small indent into the rock hard earth. I gasped and looked up at the powerful birds who stared down at us with pride.
"Bree, let's help out!" Kevin told the young blonde girl. She nodded and got out her pokeball as Kevin did the same.
"Fennekin/Froakie, go!" the two yelled at the same time. I stared over at the latter of the two. You could tell they were strong, just by their energy and the way that they'd so willingly stand up for me. Why don't I have that. I want it, but yet still lack it.
"Kinnn," Fennekin said while she rolled her head around. She then stopped and put one paw forward, a fearful expression crossing her face; she was ready to battle. Froakie did the same but came out of his pokeball with a bit more energy and cheer.
"Kie!" he roared towards the birds.
"Now, Ember/Bubble!" Fennekin and Froakie both reared backwards and then fired their respective special attacks. Both of them hit the flock of native Kalos Pokemon, of course Froakie's doing more damage as it was super-effective. I watched them all, two trainers, two Pokemon, fighting a fight I should be fighting alone. It had nothing to do with anyone here but me. But that's what friends are for.
"Chespin, get up and use Rollout on all of those birds!" I shouted out. Chespin got up and nodded before curling up into a ball and charging forward at breakneck pace. Chespin steam rolled through all of them, shooting them out of the sky. Not for long though, the birds quickly flew back up and all started to spray a hot Ember out, injuring Chespin and stopping his Rollout attack. Chespin fell to the ground with swirls for his eyes and I sat there helplessly and had to leave it to my friends.
"Sorry guys, now you're the only ones who can battle. I got you into a bad situation that you shouldn't even be involved in…" I muttered with a guilty tone. I sat there sad faced and continued to watch the battle.
"Froakie, use Quick Attack!" Kevin ordered without any regards to my comment but a smile. Froakie zipped forward but was countered by a quick Fletchling who also used Quick Attack. Although that little bird was no match for Froakie and so was sent flying back into the ground. Froakie then proceeded to smash through the flock and deal some serious damage.
"Now Fennekin, use Flame Charge!" Bree then added to the mix and got her Fennekin to charge towards them too. They were really taking this head on.
"Kin!" Fennekin screeched as she drenched herself in a gorgeous fiery coat before charging up at the Fletchinder, who was unsurprisingly, also using Flame Charge. They collided and little embers started to fly everywhere. No Pokemon was backing down but in the end it was a draw and both Pokemon were sent flying back. I watched this cold war and couldn't help but feel like this wasn't the right thing to do.
"Guys stop!" I commanded my two friends. All of the Pokemon and my two friends looked my way. All of them looks vicious and ready to attack. Yep, even the humans looked like they wanted to pounce on me. "Look, I was trying to teach them a lesson about not being mean to others but now, we're being mean to them! I know the whole 'have a taste of your own medicine' but I don't like that, and I've gotten all worked up over nothing. This is why I don't get worked up, this is why I don't get motivated because I always do something I'm not supposed to, something that doesn't go by my morals."
"Tyler, that's what happens to everyone. They get energetic and worked up and they go crazy, but in a good way. You got crazy for a good cause, you did it because they hurt your brother's Staraptor. You're no different from anyone else," Bree assured me. Huh, I'm not different eh? Truth is, I actually like being different. Whatever, now there's a big scene for nothing.
"Birds, we're sorry for causing you any hurt or pain. Please, go home but just don't be mean to everything or everyone you see. Otherwise soon you'll have no friends. Not even each other," I warned them. "So again, sorry for the troubles, and we'd kindly like you to leave." The birds squawked and squabbled among themselves for a few seconds until a few of the Fletchinder pointed their wings in the opposite direction of us and, they were off. "Talk about a long walk for a short drink of water."
"You ok Tyler?" Kevin asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fi-INE!" I screamed as I suddenly felt a peck on my foot. "Ouch!" I looked down to see a Fletchling who was persistently pecking my foot. "Hey, that's not nice!" Fletchling didn't care and kept trying to peck at it, while I was craftily avoiding it. I looked up at the sky and could no longer see the flock. "Um, you little brat, your friends are gone."
"Fletch?" Fletchling questioned as it looked around but then seemed unfazed.
"Wow I guess you'd become so mean already that you weren't even friends with them…" I muttered. Fletchling seemed angered by the remark and flew up into my face and pecked me on the nose a few times. "Ouch! No wonder you have no friends." I couldn't believe I just said that aloud. I'm usually not mean to others in this way, especially not to Pokemon. However, he did peck my foot.
"Ling!" Fletchling cried and pointed at me before walking back a little, then squawking again.
"I think it wants to battle Tyler," Kevin suggested.
"You'll need Chespin healed then!" Bree quickly ran over and 'potioned' my Chespin, making him awaken and feel all better again. She ran away with a smile. I looked over at Fletchling and it seemed to be as worked up as ever. "Alright, battle begin!" Before I could even call a command Fletchling was already attacking with a speedy Quick Attack right off the back. Chespin had no time to avoid the attack so Fletchling landed a clean hit.
"Chespin, use Vine Whip!" Chespin sent out two green vines and they surged towards Fletchling. As Fletchling flew up to get away, so did the vines, chasing the bird through the sky.
"Ling!" Fletchling cried as it started to spin and speed up, using some crafty skills to avoid the Vine Whip. Quickly after that, Fletchling straightened out and started to dive directly towards Chespin, wind currents flying from around its body. It was an Aerial Ace.
"Chespin try to dodge!" I encouraged my Pokemon. Chespin jumped into the air but Fletchling immediately changed its flight course and slammed into Chespin, sending him high into the air. Fletchling stopped the Aerial Ace but its beak grew; it was a Peck attack. If Fletchling landed this Peck then it would be all over for Chespin and I. Fletchling grew ever closer to Chespin and I was frantically thinking of what to do. "I got it! Chespin, use Rollout!"
"Pin!" Chespin said with a sigh of relief. He then started to frantically roll until all you could see was a spinning green ball. Fletchling tried to bash Chespin hard enough to stop the attack but instead, was rebounded off of him. Chespin then dove down and pressed his spinning body up against Fletchling, dealing even more damage. Fletchling smashed into the ground and struggled to get up. Although before she could fully get up and fly away Chespin came in for another round of Rollout and knocked its brains out. Fletchling collapsed onto the ground, knocked out.
"Alright, this seems like the perfect time…" I muttered to myself. I looked down, anticipating the moment. The moment I'd remember for the rest of my life. "Go, pokeball!" I threw the empty pokeball towards the small bird. Everything seemed to slow down as I watched the pokeball soar through the air. I could hear music playing in my head, victorious music. The pokeball grew ever closer to it until, suddenly the world came back into normal speed as Fletchling was hit on the head with the pokeball. One shake, two shakes, three shakes…! PING! I stood there for a few seconds, not believing I actually caught a Pokemon!
"Yes, I did it, I caught… A Fletchling!" I roared as loud as I could. I ran over and grabbed the pokeball and proudly thrusted my hand into the air. A toothy grin covered my face as I had just caught my first Pokemon!
"Nice work Tyler!" Bree cheered as she came over to admire the Pokemon.
"You were a little late, but you finally caught up to me eh?" Kevin chuckled. I smiled over towards the two and then towards Chespin. Yes! Now I'm definitely winning my Gym Battle against Viola!
TO BE CONTINUED…
NEXT EPISODE – BRING IT ON VIOLA!
I'm hoping you didn't read that chapter lol. Yes, it was very bad but I wanted to have Tyler get a badass Fletchling and it just so happened that I'd already had a badass flock in the story. Trying to put the two plots together though? This is the poor result. Anyway I'm hoping the next chapter will be much better as it's when the group takes on Viola! Who will win, who will lose. Stay tuned pls.
Until Next Time - MonfernoFreak
