Pokemon: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald

Chapter 11: VS Hariyama

"That's impossible."

Right beside Brawly stood a fat, sumo-wrestler pokemon that stood up to his shoulders and had enormous orange palms.

Pokedex:

HARIYAMA practices its straight-arm slaps in any number of locations. One hit of this POKEMON's powerful, openhanded, straight arm punches could snap a telephone pole in two. HARIYAMA's thick body may appear fat, but it is actually a hunk of solid muscle. If this POKEMON bears down and tightens all its muscles, its body becomes as hard as a rock.

How can he predict an evolution like that? May begins to feel uneasy.

"How about you go first," Brawly suggests.

"Kippy, use Mud Shot!" Marshtomp breathes in deeply and spits a row of medium sized mud balls at Hariyama.

"Bulk Up, Hariyama."

Hariyama stands firm with one palm straight forward. The Mud Balls splattered in his palm.

"That didn't work so use Water Gun." Marshtomp obeys and spits out a stream of water.

"Stand firm, Hariyama." Hariyama stood in the same position and the water washes the mud off his hand.

May starts getting irritated, "Fine, use Take Down!" Marshtomp thrust its body forward towards Hariyama.

"Now, use Arm Thrust." Hariyama stands the same way but as Masrhtomp comes into contact he thrust his palm forward forcing Marshtomp back onto the ground.

"Darn it, Kippy return," She called him back into his ball and threw out another ball from her bag. "Go, Lola!"

A dark violet, full-grown swallow pops out of the ball.

"A Swellow, well this should be interesting." Brawly whispers to himself, amused.

"Alright, Lola, use wing attack!" Swellow dives in, its wings shines in the bright sun light.

"Hariyama, just like surfing, flow with the water, use Arm Thrust." Swellow dives into Hariyama.

Hariyama intercepts the attack by catching Swellow with his palm but without stopping Swellow's attack he swings his palms to shift the bird pokemon into the ground.

"Lola, you're doing great, get up and use Aerial Ace this time."

Swellow simply chirped and fell back up into the air.

"Hariyama, Arm Thrust again."

Swellow dives back down performing a loop before colliding with Hariyama's palms. Hariyama does the same movement and slams Swellow into the ground for the second time.

Good, May smirks to herself. "Alright, Lola use Aerial Ace again!"

Swellow forces his body back up high into the air.

"Too bad, the girl doesn't learn," Hariyama got his palms ready. "She would've been a great apprentice."

Swellow dives, Hariyama's palms thrust forward and Swellow braces for impact.

"Now Lola, use Endeavor!" Swellow's beak hits Hariyama's palm but before he could slam Swellow into the ground a surge went through his body. Hariyama's eyes widen through the shock and fainted.

May sighs in relief, "Whew, great job Lola!" Swellow flew into her arms and hugs her trainer.

"Return, Hariyama," He said retrieving his pokemon before turning back to May. "Nice job, May of Littleroot."

"Thanks Brawly, you weren't bad yourself," May complimented the surfer.

"Yea, I know," Brawly responds somewhat obnoxiously. "You have this spark hidden within you, have you tried Pokemon Contest?"

"Pokemon Contest?" May asked and Lola chirped with her. "Swel- lo?"

"Yea, it would be perfect for you" Brawly said as he flashed an ID badge with a pirate symbol on it. "If you join Team Aqua, that is."

"Well, it does sound interesting." May awes the Badge.

"Good, then all I need is a yes and I can make the call to the Lieutenant." Brawly persisted trying to seal the deal.

"Yes, of course I'll join Team Aqua!" May jumps in excitement.

"Alright," Brawly smiled pulling out his pokenav. "Our Lieutenant will have you contest battling, in no time."

"Hello?" A voice picks up.

"Yes, this is the Lieutenant speaking, is that you Brawly?"

"Well you do have an eye for talent, I'll be in Slateport city tonight. Why don't you send her over?"

"Good, I look forward to who you've picked this time." The phone hangs up, a yacht pulls into the scene and a tall man with shiny light greenish hair wearing a white hat stared onto the ocean along the rails.

"That Brawly is always up to something," He smiles.
