Nightshroud: The Beginning
Chapter 6
"Wes and Rui!" Michael said.
Wes smirked. "Long time no see, Michael!"
Nightshroud returned Garchomp and turned to walk away.
Rui saw him walking away. "Wait!" Nightshroud stopped walking. "Your name's Nightshroud, right?" Nightshroud nodded.
"Hey!" Nightshroud looked at Wes. "You're really good since you defeated one of the great trainers of Orre." he complimented. Nightshroud nodded.
Prof. Krane interuppted the conversation. "So Wes, what brings you here?" he asked.
"We are actually coming to live here." Wes answered.
"You're moving into the lab?" Prof. Krane asked. Wes nodded.
"Cool! We got two more people living in the lab!" Jovi said.
"I see. You're living here as well." Wes said to Nightshroud.
Nightshroud nodded. "Yes." he finally said.
Prof. Krane thought for a moment. "Well, I do have a couple of spare rooms. If you're serious, then you're welcome to stay here as long as you like!" he exclaimed.
Wes nodded then turned to Nightshroud. "Since you're so good, I challenge you to a battle." he challenged.
Nightshroud seems to be not surprised. "Fine. I accept your challenge!" Wes smiled. "But lets do it tomorrow. It's getting late, and I have to let all of my pokemon out."
Wes thought for a moment. "Lets see those pokemon of yours."
The group went back to the backyard. Nightshroud released all of his pokemon from their pokeballs except for the eon duo and Mewtwo. He also let Lucario and Gallade out.
Everyone was amazed on how many pokemon Nightshroud had. Even Wes was amazed.
Prof. Krane examined them. "Wow! I've never seen so much pokemon before! Especially these ones!" he said looking at Nightshroud's Unova pokemon.
"They're my Unova pokemon." Nightshroud said.
"Unova! I've never been there, but they say the pokemon there can't be found in any of the other regions!" Prof. Krane said.
"Amazing!" Michael said.
Then one of Nightshroud's pokemon appear. The pokemon is fox-like, mainly slate-gray in coloration with red and black accents on its head and feet. Its ears are triangular with dark insides, and it has a large, whorled scruff of fur on its head, tipped with red coloration. Its eyes appear to posssess no pupils, and its eyelids and circular "eybrow" markings are red. It possesses a ruff of black fur around its neck, and limbs tipped with red. Its tail is bushy, and when it opens its mouth small fangs can be seen developing.
"Aw! Who's this cuttie?" Jovi asked.
"That's Zorua." Nightshroud answered. "Be careful! Zorua is one tricky prankster!"
Michael turned to Nightshroud and asked "You said you won 4 Regional Pokemon Leagues?"
Nightshroud nodded. "Yep! Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova!" Everyone looked at Nightshroud amazed. "Not only that, I also defeated every Elite Four in all those regions!" Everyone was surprised.
"And!" Jovi said.
"And . . . that's it. I never challenged the champions!" Nightshroud said.
"Why?" Michael asked confused.
"Because . . . it's a secret." Nightshroud answered.
Everyone was confused. Prof. Krane then looked at his watch. "Well, I'll be showing Wes and Rui to their rooms. Everyone else go to your own room and get some sleep."
Wes and Rui followed the professor, but not before Wes turned to Nightshroud then say "You're gonna need rest for tomorrow."
Later that night, Nightshroud let Latias, Latios, and Mewtwo out of their pokeballs. "Hey guys!" he said.
'Hey Nightshroud!' Latias said excited. She then tackled Nightshroud in a hug. A few moments later, she got off and helped him up.
"Thanks! Anyways, I have a big battle tomorrow, and you guys can watch! But you have to be and stay hidden!" he explained.
Mewtwo smirked. "That's not gonna be a problem."
Nightshroud nodded and opened a window. "You guys can get out and explore!"
The eon duo and Mewtwo got out and explored for a while. They then got back.
"How was your little exploring?" Nightshroud asked.
'It was fun!' Latias said.
"It was fine." Mewtwo said.
'Now that we're here, we better get some rest. You got a battle tomorrow!' Latios said.
Nightshroud nodded. The group then headed to bed and sleep. Well, Latios adn Latias found a clearing while Mewtwo is just sleeping on a tree branch.
The next morning, Nightshroud and Wes are on opposite sides fo the battlefield. Prof. Krane, Michael, Jovi, and Rui are on the bench. The eon duo and Mewtwo are hiding in the forest watching the battle.
"The battle between Nightshroud and Wes is about to begin!" a sceintist said. "Each side will use 3 pokemon, substitutions allowed, and the winner will be determined if one side's pokemon are unable to continue! Are you ready?" Both trainers' nodded. "Battle Begin!"
Wes took out a pokeball. "Flygon, battle." He threw the ball and it opened. A light came out and took form of Flygon.
"Flygon." Nightshroud remembered Drew's Flygon. He took out a pokeball and threw it. "Lets go, Unfezant!" The ball opened and light came out and took form of the female Unfezant.
"Well, this is it." Michael said. "We'll see who's better!"
"Use DragonBreath!" Wes ordered. Flygon released a powerful blast of breath.
"Use Gust to deflect it!" Nightshroud ordered. Unfezant flapped her wings and blew a strong wind and the DragonBreath was cancelled.
"That's brilliant." Wes complimented. "Use Dragon Claw!" Flygon's claws glowed and charged at Unfezant.
"Use Aerial Ace!" Unfezant sped towards Flygon. The attacks collided and forced both pokemon back. "Use Air Cutter!" Unfezant released razor-like wind.
"Use Screech!" Flygon screeched and the Air Cutter attack was cancelled.
'He used my strategy against me. Impressive' Nightshroud thought.
"Amazing! Simply amazing!" Prof. Krane said. Michael nodded in agreement.
"Yeah! The both of them are perfectly matched." Rui said.
In the forest, the legendary pokemon are watching at ease. 'Wow! This is really intense!' Latias said.
'You wanna talk about intense, wait until their final pokemon battle.' Latios said.
Back to the battle.
"Use Quick Attack!" Unfezant came at Flygon with a speedy attack.
"Use Screech!" Flygon screeched again and Unfezant was knocked down by the force of Screech.
"Unfezant!" Nightshroud said. He then remembered that Roark and Byron used the same technique. Unfezant got up.
Wes smirked. "Use Rock Slide!" Flygon summoned large boulders and launched them at Unfezant.
"Use Quick Attack to get out of there!" Unfezant dodge all the rocks using Quick Attack. Flygon got in front of Unfezant.
"Use DragonBreath!" Flygon fired the powerful breath and hit Unfezant.
Unfezant fell to the ground. Nightshroud is thinking of a strategy. Suddenly, his mask beeped. He pressed a button on it. The mask made another 'beep'.
"No way!" Nightshroud said. "You just learned 2 new moves!" Wes is shocked. Nightshroud smirked. "Well, lets use one of them. Use Air Slash!" Unfezant fired a blade of air and hit Flygon.
"Regain yourself Flygon!" Flygon stopped falling. "Use Dragon Claw!" Flygon's claws glowed and charged at Unfezant.
"Use Gust!" Unfezant blew a strong wind and knocked Flygon back making the Dragon Claw unsuccessful. "Use Aerial Ace!" Unfezant sped towards Flygon.
"Use Screech!" Flygon prepares to screech.
"Stop the Aerial Ace attack and use Air Slash!" Unfezant stopped the attack and switched to Air Slash. As soon as Flygon was about to screech, the attack hit.
'Amazing! He stopped the current attack and switched to another attack!' Latios said.
"Use Rock Slide!" Flygon summoned large boulders and launched them towards Unfezant.
"Use Aerial Ace to dodge them!" Unfezant used Aerial Ace and dodged all of the rocks. "Now attack!" Unfezant then charged at Flygon.
"Use Dragon Claw!" Flygon's claws glowed and hit Unfezant. The collision forced both pokemon back. "Use DragonBreath!" Flygon released the powerful breath.
"Use Air Slash!" Unfezant released the blade of air. The attacks collided creating an explosion.
"They're evenly matched!" Jovi said.
"I agree. This match will be awesome!" Michael said.
The smoke cleared to reveal both pokemon still standing. Nightshroud smirked. "Now lets use the other move, Sky Attack!" Unfezant surrounded itself with a white aura and flies up.
"What's Sky Attack?" Jovi asked.
"Sky Attack is one of the most powerful flying type moves!" Prof. Krane answered.
"Quick! Use DragonBreath!" Flygon released the powerful breath.
"Go!" Unfezant dived down. She collided with the DragonBreath making the attack break apart and head towards Flygon. The attack hit and Flygon fell to the ground.
"No, Flygon!" Wes said. The dust cleared to reveal Flygon lying on the ground with swirls in its eyes.
"Flygon is unable to battle! Unfezant wins!" the scientist said.
All of Nightshroud's pokemon watched the battle in awe.
'Amazing! Nightshroud and Unfezant were awesome!' Latias said.
"Agreed." Mewtwo said. "Nighshroud and his pokemon are really strong."
'Yeah! But it's only the beginning.' Latios said.
Wes returned Flygon and took another pokeball out. "Tyranitar, battle!" He threw the ball and it opened. A light came out and took form of Tyranitar. "Use Rock Slide!" Tyranitar summoned large boulders and launched them at Unfezant.
"Use Aerial Ace to get away from there!" Unfezant sped up to try and get out of the Rock Slide attack.
Wes smirked. "Giga Impact!" Tyranitar was surrounded by a purple aura then a yellow-orange energy covers is and charged at Unfezant.
Nightshroud was shocked. "Quick! Get out of there!" But it was too late, Unfezant was already hit. She fell to the ground. The dust cleared to reveal Unfezant with swirls.
"Unfezant is unable to battle! Tyranitar wins!" the scientist said.
'That Tyranitar is really strong.' Latios said.
Mewtwo nodded in agreement. "Yes. That Tyranitar must have been raised well."
Nightshroud returned Unfezant. He then held his left hand up. "Go, Gallade!" A light came out of the glove and took form of Gallade.
"Well, this will surely be an interesting match." Mewtwo said.
"Use Leaf Blade!" Gallade's arm extended and glowed green and charged at Tyranitar.
"Use Earthquake!" Tyranitar stomped and created a strong quake. The quake made Gallade stumble and the Leaf Blade attack cancelled.
Nightshroud thought for a moment. "Use Leaf Blade again!" Gallade use Leaf Blade and charge at Tyranitar.
Wes shook his head. "This again? Use Earthquake." Tyranitar created another quake.
Nightshroud smirked. "Jump Gallade!" Gallade smirked and jumped up to avoid the quake and dived down and hit Tyranitar.
Tyranitar stumbled back. "That's also brilliant. But no matter, use Rock Slide!" Tyranitar summoned large boulders and launched them at Gallade.
"Use Close Combat to deflect them!" Gallade delivered a series of punches and kicks at those rocks. "Now attack with Close Combat!" Gallade ran fast and hit Tyranitar with punches and kicks.
'Yes! That's 4x super effective!' Latios said.
"Giga Impact!" Tyranitar surround itself with purple aura and orange streaks and charged at Gallade.
"Protect!" Gallade surrounded itself in a sphere. Tyranitar ran into the sphere and was knocked back. "Now, use Leaf Blade!" Gallade hit Tyranitar with Leaf Blade.
"This is getting good!" Jovi said.
Wes gritted his teeth. "I was saving this as a last resort, but I'll accept it. Use Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar released on orange beam from its mouth.
"Use Psycho Cut!" Gallade's hands glowed blue and sliced the Hyper Beam.
"What!" Wes said.
"I trained Gallade to deflect powerful special attacks like Hyper Beam." Nightshroud said. "Use Close Combat!" Gallade charged at Tyranitar.
"Use Giga Impact!" Tyranitar charged at Gallade with purple aura and orange streaks. The attacks collided. Wes smirked. "Use Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar prepare to fire the orange beam, but Gallade punched it and the beam exploded.
The smoke cleared to reveal that both pokemon are lying on the ground with swirls.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle!" the scientist said.
"In result of deflecting these attacks, Gallade still took a little damage." Mewtwo said.
'Now it's down to one pokemon.' Latios said.
"This is it! It all comes down to this final match." Michael said.
Nightshroud returned Gallade to the glove while Wes returned Tyranitar to the pokeball and said "You did a great job!" together.
Wes took out another pokeball. "This has been a great battle so far. But now this all ends. Espeon, battle!" He threw the ball and it opened. A light came out adn took form of Espeon.
"Espeon." Nightshroud thought for a moment. "Pikachu, lets do it!" Pikachu nodded and jumped into the field.
This is it. The final match. Who will win?
"Espeon, use Swift!" Espeon sent multiple gold stars at Pikachu.
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!" Pikachu's tail turned iron and deflected the Swift. "Use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fired a powerful bolt of electricity.
"Use Psybeam!" Espeon fired a multicolored beam. The attacks collided creating an explosion. "Use Quick Attack!" Espeon sped towards Pikachu.
"You use Quick Attack too!" Pikachu sped toward Espeon and the attacks collided, forcing both pokemon back. "Use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu is preparing to fire the powerful electricity.
"Use Psychic!" Espeon held Pikachu with Psychic. Then it tossed Pikachu. "Now Psybeam!" Espeon fired the multicolored beam.
"Use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu quickly got up and fired the attack. The attacks created another explosion.
"Use Swift!" Espeon fired the golden stars.
"Use Electro Ball!" Pikachu fired a ball of electricity. The attack broke through the Swift and hit Espeon.
"Use Psybeam!" Espeon regained itself and fired the attack.
"Use Iron Tail to deflect it!" Pikachu's tail was turned to iron and hit the Psybeam. "Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fired the attack.
"Use Psychic to stop it!" Espeon's Psychic stopped the Thunderbolt and broke it. "Now use Swift!" Espeon fired the golden stars.
"Use Iron Tail!" Pikachu used the attack and deflected the Swift. "I will be the very best. I can't lose here. I will not give up!"
"I will not give up either! I will do whatever it takes to win!" Wes said.
"I WILL WIN!" Nightshroud and Wes said.
Suddenly, a blue twinkle came up in the sky. Everyone looked up in the sky. Then the blue twinkle dive down heading straight for Wes. The twinkle seems to be a fragment. The fragment hit Wes's Snag Machine. The machine's side now has a glass container containing the fragment.
Then, the crystal on Nightshroud's mask is glowing. Everyone looked at the mask. The crystal from Nightshroud's mask turned from red to blue. "What just happened?" he asked.
"I have no idea." Wes said. "But lets focus on our battle! Use Psybeam!" Espeon fired the attack, but somehow it has gotten more powerful.
"Use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fired the attack, but like Psybeam, it has gotten more powerful. The attacks collided and created an explosion. A big explosion.
'Wow! What an explosion!' Latias exclaimed.
Mewtwo nodded. "Somehow, those attacks has gotten more powerful than normal."
'Could it be those crystals?' Latias asked.
'That might be the case.' Latios said. 'But lets watch the battle before we jump to conclusions.'
"Wow! Somehow the attacks are stronger!" Jovi said.
"This is suspicious!" Prof. Krane said.
"Whatever it is, this is gonna be an exciting battle!" Michael said.
Nightshroud and Wes shook off what happened and called the same attack. "Quick Attack!" Both pokemon charged and collided faster and more powerful. The collision made an explosion.
The smoke cleared revealing both Espeon and Pikachu lying on the ground with swirls.
"Both pokemon are unable to continue! Since all 3 pokemon on both sides are out, I officially call this a tie!" the scientist said.
"A tie!" Michael and Jovi exclaimed.
"Well, it doesn't matter, it was a great battle!" Rui said. "But I do wonder, how did those attacks got stronger?"
"I don't know, but I will figure it out!" Prof. Krane said.
'Aw, a tie!' Latias exclaimed. 'But, that was a great battle!'
Latios nodded in agreement. Mewtwo was just wondering what happened.
Wes returned Espeon. "You did great!"
Nightshroud just picked Pikachu up. "You okay, buddy?" the electric mouse nodded. "You were awesome!"
Nightshroud and Wes were standing in front of each other. Then Wes smiled and said "That was an amazing battle!"
Nightshroud smiled in return. "It sure was!" Then the two shook hands. After that they are starting to become good friends.
Well, what do you think?
Well anyway, I was thinking of putting Professor Ivy in the later chapter. But I'll let you decide.
Should I have Prof. Ivy in this story? Why or why not?
