Pokemon: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald

Chapter 12: VS Roselia
[Rusturf Tunnel]
"Stereo, clear the way, Uproar!" Brendan commanded his new pokemon, which was a dull shade of blue and had two round ears and a large mouth.
"Loau- Dred!" The pokemon roared destroying the boulders in its path with its voice. Brendan took off the new, red, goggles he was wearing.
"Alright, the way to Verdanturf Town is finally cleared!" Some of the construction workers behind Brendan and Wally cheered.
"Thanks for everything" One of the workers said shaking Brendan's hand. "Because of you we cleared the way without harming the Whismurs."
"Of course my Loudred was perfect for the job, thanks to Whismer's soundproof ability." Brendan replies looking at his pokedex.
Pokedex:
Whismur: Normally, WHISMUR's voice is very quite - it is barely audible even if one is paying close attention. However, if this POKEMON senses danger, it starts crying at an earsplitting volume. WHISMUR is very timid. If it starts to cry loudly, it becomes startled by its own crying and cries even harder. When it finally stops crying, the POKEMON goes to sleep, all tired out.
Loudred: LOUDRED's bellowing can completely decimate a wood-frame house. It uses its voice to punish its foes. This POKéMON's round ears serve as loudspeakers. LOUDRED shouts while stamping its feet. After it finishes shouting, this POKéMON becomes incapable of hearing anything for a while. This is considered to be a weak point.
Soundproof: Unaffected by sound moves.
"Wow, you sure are lucky that you caught a Loudred while I was in the Pokemon Center." Wally said impressed.
"Yea, I also got some training done with Roxanne too." Brendan smiled putting his goggles into his red backpack with a black volcano symbol on it.
He took out a small, yellow device then called someone through speed dail.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Roxanne, we've cleared the rubble in Rusturf Tunnel and made it to Verdanturf Town."
"Good, when you're done with Wally, head west then north to Lavaridge Town."
"Yes ma'am," He hung up then turned to Wally. "Come on, Wally, I got to get you to your uncle's house."
"Hmm, how did you know my uncle lives here?" Wally asked.
"Oh, well," Brendan had forgotten that he was paid to bring Wally to Vendanturf, without letting him know. "You told me yourself, remember?"
"No, not really," Wally said getting suspicious.
"You were talking in your sleep at the Pokemon Center." Brendan lied again.
"Oh, I didn't know, I did that," Wally says believing him. "I bet you think I'm weird."
"Yea, you're insane Wally," Brendan added sarcastically returning Loudred to his ball.
The two of them walked through the peaceful town. They saw the Pokemon Center, a Pokemon Mart, and a special building on their way to the neighborhood.
They stopped by a house with a green rooftop. "Well this is it," Wally said.
A Young lady came out from the main entrance. She looked a lot like Wally in a feminine way, her hair was like Wally's but a bit different, and both of them shared their bright Emerald eyes.
"Wallene is that you?" Wally called out to her running through the lawn and jumping above the two roses that seemed randomly placed there.
"Wally!" she exclaimed running down the stairs, meeting Wally half-way and embraced him in her arms. "It's been so long Wally, how've you been?"
"I've been doing great; Brendan's been around to help me."
Aww, it's like watching a reunion movie. Brendan thought to himself then pictured him and his mom having the same moment. Why'd I have to go thinking of that woman?
"Thank you for bringing my cousin here safely, Brendan."
Brendan snapped out of his daydream then replied, "Oh, no problem, it was fun I guess."
"Please come in" Wallene invited the boys in. They all enter the house and Wally introduced Brendan to his family members. Wallene stepped out of the house while everyone sat in the living room.
"Where's Wallene, going?" Brendan asked Wally.
"Oh, she went to see her boyfriend." Wally answered. "It was one of those workers that we meet at the cave; guess the rubble stopped them from seeing each other."
"Oh, I see," Brendan smirks. Wow, I'm so good; I even save peoples' love lives.
"Brendan, I'd love to thank you for bringing Wally here," Uncle Emerald said with appreciation. "My brother told me he was too busy to drive down here so I was going to get him myself, but he told me he had it covered."
The lights suddenly went out and the three of them went out the house. "Honey, stay in here I'll go handle it." Uncle Emerald assures his wife.
"What happened?" Brendan asked and thought he was the only lost.
"It's Wattson," Wally replies. His uncle starts getting frustrated.
"Who's Wattson?" Brendan asks another question.
"He's a selfish tyrant who taxes the people of Vendanturf Town and Slateport City." Uncle Emerald punches the wall. "He stays in Mauville City and acts as a king over there, taxing people out of their salaries for electricity."
"People had tried to stop him, his been going at it for two years now." Wally continued.
"How about I go and stop him?" Brendan offers a hand to the people who have been so courteous to him.
"No way, I should go, it's my family's problem. I should end Wattson's reign." Wally implies.
"No Wally, you know you're too sick to handle this," His uncle reminded him then turns to Brendan. "And I don't want to burden you; you've helped us so much already."
"Big deal, if I don't go you'll never be free of him." Brendan tries to convince him.
"I see there's no stopping you, thank you Brendan."
"No, Brendan Ruby, I challenge you to a battle!" Wally exclaimed furiously. "Whoever wins will fight Wattson!"
Brendan smirks retrieving a ball from his belt, "I accept."
The two walk out to the front lawn standing on opposite ends of each other. Wally threw out his first pokemon.
"Go, Sniper!"
"Nin-ca-da!"
"Too, easy, go Venom!" Brendan grins. "There's an extreme difference in power between these two bugs. Venom use gust!"
Dustox's wings fluttered blowing the Nincada unconscious. "Next!"
"Go Grace!" Wally threw out Ralts immediately.
"Wanting to lose a bit too quickly, don't we?" Brendan implies. "Go Fang!"
Poochyena jumps out of the ball. "Look at the new moves I taught Fang!"
"Grace, Confusion!" Wally becomes a bit more impatient. Ralts obeys releasing and wave a psychic power but Poochyena stood unaffected.
Brendan chuckles a little, "Psychic doesn't work on dark types and since that's all Ralts knows this battle is done; Fang dig."
Poochyena hurries underground. "Now bite!" Poochyena burst out from under Ralts and bites, putting half her body in its mouth.
"Wow, these kids are violent." Uncle emerald watched the in suspense.
Poochyena spat the unconscious Ralts out of its mouth then he started glowing.
"Finally," Brendan said as if he knew his Fang would evolve. He pulls out his pokedex.
Pokedex:
MIGHTYENA gives obvious signals when it is preparing to attack. It starts to growl deeply and then flattens its body. This POKéMON will bite savagely with its sharply pointed fangs. MIGHTYENA travel and act as a pack in the wild. The memory of its life in the wild compels the POKéMON to obey only those TRAINERS that it recognizes to possess superior skill.
"Good, Fang, now return," He recalled his new pokemon. "Next?"
Wally was now at the point where he was tearing up but highly irritated. "Go, Forest!"
A large gecko with a large leaf sitting on its head appeared.
Oh great, I forgot that Treecko trained with me and Roxanne while Wally was resting. Brendan thought, biting his lip. "Fine, go Blaze!"
Wally looked into his pokedex.
Pokedex:
The leaves growing out of GROVYLE's body are convenient for camouflaging it from enemies in the forest. This POKEMON is a master at climbing trees in jungles. This POKEMON adeptly flies from branch to branch in trees. In a forest, no POKEMON can ever hope to catch a fleeing GROVYLE however fast they may be. Its strongly developed thigh muscles give it astounding agility and jumping performance.
"Okay Blaze use, ember!"
Combusken shot a stream of fireballs which started burning the front lawn. Grovyle jumps dodging the attack.
"Good, Forest now use Leaf Blade!" The leaves on Grovyle's arm flashed as he dove down for Combusken. He slashes Combusken's stomach.
"Use Pound!" Grovyle swung its leaf at Combusken but Combusken caught the leaf in its beak.
"Good, Blaze use Ember!" Combusken's beak begins to heat up then he blows a direct hit of fireballs at Grovyle's leaf stem.
Grovyle stubbles back but before he could counter, Combusken runs up and kicks him in the face then his stomach.
Grovyle faints and Wally looks at the ground. He's eyes seemed blood stained at the bottom of his emerald pupils.
"Roselia," He whispers softly. Brendan looks at Wally with confused gaze.
"What did you say?"
"Roselia!" Wally screamed and the two roses from before popped out, revealing itself.
Brendan looks at his pokedex.
Pokedex:
ROESLIA shoots sharp thorns as projectiles at any opponent that tries to steal the flowers on its arms. The aroma of this POKEMON brings serenity to living things. On extremely rare occasions, a ROSELIA is said to appear with its flowers in unusual colors. The thorns on this POKEMON's head contain a vicious poison.
"Okay, old friend versus old friend, get out here Eevee!" Brendan threw out his favorite pokemon.
Eevee came out with its ears perked.
"Eevee Dig."
"Roselia, Poison Sting!"
Eevee digs into the lawn and the poison stinger's shot its tail. Eevee glowed purple for a moment before continuing to dig.
Wally eyes became a dry green color with a red swear sitting on the bottom. "Use Ingrain."
Brendan was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"So you think you've won?" Wally asks himself. "Well, let's see if a poisoned Eevee can escape the ground, when it's caught in my ingrain roots. Mega Drain!"
Roselia begins to glow as if it was healing but it hadn't received a scratch yet.
"What are you doing to Eevee!?"
"You're Eevee will be buried alive!"
Oh no, his sickness is getting to him at an alarming rate. Uncle Emerald thought to himself.
"Eevee! Eevee! If you love me, you'll survive this!" Brendan cried into the hole in the ground then he stubbled back as if he expected a blast. "Use Return now!"
For a moment it was silent, except for the sound of the roots surging energy through the ground, then the sound ceased.
The grass on the lawn starts to crumble apart and through the cracks followed a strong heavenly light that erupted from the ground creating an explosion of white light around Wally and the rest of his fainted pokemon.
After the outburst, Brendan slowly walked in the massive hole in the ground and picks up Eevee then walks away from the house.
Wally sits on the ground surrounded by his exhausted pokemon. Roselia lies in his arm while his other hand covered his left eye. "Where are you going, Brendan Ruby!? We're not done yet!"
Brendan continues to walk way with Eevee in his arms.
"Wow, that Wally kid is psychotic." A voice said.
"Yea, we need him on our team." Another voice said.
A pair of Twins appeared on the rooftops of another house around Wally's current resident.
"We'll show both Team Aqua and Magma, the power of our team."
