Chapter 8: VS Wingull
Petalburg Forest
Wally was laughing in the woods until he found an old man who seemed injured. When Wally ceased laughing, Ralt's horn stopped glowing.
"What happened mister?" Wally seemed concerned as he knelt down next to the man.
"Someone stole my peeko!" the elder wailed. "A man in a blue bandana stole my poor peeko and ran for Rusturf Tunnel."
"I'll get your peeko back for you." Wally promised, Ralts tugged on his pants. "Come on Grace, We've got a mission to do." Ralts smiled slightly but Treecko frowned.
"Okay, we'll look for your friend while I take you sightseeing." Mr. D offered.
"Alright," Brendan agrees, as he gathered his stuff together. "You lead the way."
"There's someone we need to see first."
"So this is Rusturf Tunnel?" Wally wondered as he walked into the cave.
"Don't move any closer!" someone in the shadows demanded.
"Did you take that old man's pokemon!?"
"And What if I did?!"
"Then I'll have to take it back, Forest, Grace, Ninja go!" He said summoning all three of his pokemon.
Brendan had a bored expression written all over his face as he walked with mister D. They reached a school house near the outside of town. Mister D walked in while Brendan followed.
"Hey gramps when are we gonna do something f…" Brendan stopped talking as if he was stunned by the appearance of a female teacher who seemed to be in her early twenties, who wore a dark blue dress ending right above the knees, with pink bows in her hair.
She's cuter than Jasmine of Olivine city. Brendan blushed as Mister D talked with the instructor.
"And who is this you've brought with you?" she asked looking over at Brendan.
Brendan jumped a bit and his face stopped reddening.
"Oh, he is umm, I never got your name."
"I'm Brendan Ruby of Olivine City." Brendan introduced himself to the lady.
"Nice to meet you Brendan, I'm Roxanne of Rustboro" she replied, smiling to his greeting.
"Brendan, Roxanne is the most respected leader of Rustboro." Mister D informed.
"You mean like a Gym leader?" Brendan eyes widen in admiration.
"Umm, what's a gym leader?" He wondered. "But no, we simply look up to her as a leader here; she's our city's future."
"You mean because she teaches, right?" Brendan thought of the most logical meaning.
"Yeah you can say that." Roxanne smiled at Brendan's adolescence.
At that moment a youngster burst into the schoolhouse, panting. "Mrs. Roxanne! Something's happening at Rusturf Tunnel a Green haired kid went in and never came out!"
"What?"
Wally! Brendan thought.
"Brendan, I want you to handle this but put these on first." She said handing him some new stylish red and black shoes.
Brendan switched his shoes and took off.
Wow these shoes feel so free like I'm running on air. Brendan thought as he glided through the city folks and the grass. He saw the cave opening and zipped right in. He stopped in his tracks, noticed Wally and he's three pokemon were on the ground wounded.
"Wally!"
"You wanna end up like him?" A voice suggested.
"Whoever you are, I won't let you go easily!" Brendan growled.
"What's the matter is he your best friend?" The voice teased.
"Brendan he's part of a group called Team Aqua, watch out" Wally whispered tugging on to Brendan's pant leg before fainting.
"I don't care what team he's in," He turned to the grunt and pointed at him. "Because of you I might not get paid!"
"Paid?" the grunt wondered.
"Go Fang and Eevee!" Brendan yelled throwing out two pokeballs. Poochyena and Eevee hopped out of their balls with perked ears.
The Aqua grunt stepped out of the shadows with a Wingull and a blue-green gem in his hand. "Let's see how tough this Pecko bird really is" he smirked. "Go."
"Peeko?" Brendan pulled out his pokedex.
Pokedex:
WINGULL has the habit of carrying prey and valuables in its beak and hiding them in all sorts of locations. This POKEMON rides the wings and flies as if it were skating across the sky. WINGULL rides updrafts rising from the sea by extending its long and narrow wings to glide.
"Useless info for battling" Brendan thought as Wingull flew in, "Fang return, Eevee use Shadow Ball!" He commanded retrieving Poochyena back into the ball.
"Dodge it." Wingull zipped around the purple ball flying at it and shot a stream of water at Eevee. Eevee shook the water off.
Darn it, gotta think fast! Brendan started getting worried. "Eevee Dig!" Eevee dug into the ground.
"Idiot! Digging doesn't work on a flying type." The grunt laughed.
Eevee popped out of a new hole. "Dig again!" Eevee ran diagonally and dug again popping out of a new hole.
"This is getting stupid, Wingull finish this with Water Gun" The grunt grew irritated.
"Last Dig Eevee!" Eevee hopped into one of the holes already dug, dodging the water attack.
Brendan smirked. "Now's the time Eevee, Return!" Eevee made a hole in the middle of the other four holes then growled, which was followed by a white aura. The Aura shot out of all five holes the four diagonal holes creating a boxing light, trapping Wingull inside.
"I love it when a trap comes together," Brendan grin. "Shadow Ball, Eevee."
Wingull floated helplessly in the cornered room of white aura when a dark blue and purple ball shot up from below and hit Wingull directly. Wingull fell to the ground fainted.
"HA!" Brendan yelled with his fist in the air. "How do you like that!"
The grunt smirked "That wasn't the only bird I brought with me." He raised the hand with the gem in it and sure enough more Wingulls and Taillows started popping their heads out of the small craters in the cave walls by the dozens.
Brendan looked around at the birds, "oh great more birds." Brendan brought out all his pokemon. "Venom, Blaze, Fang, and Eevee this will be the toughest battle we've ever had."
"Yes it will!" A familiar voice called out to him. "Rock tomb!"
It was Roxanne riding on a miniature mountain with a big nose that slammed into the ground causing the cave walls the crumble and bury every bird and crushing the Aqua grunt under the pressure on the stones.
"Cause I'm your next opponent." Roxanna smiled climbing off the mountain pokemon.
