Ohata Shiruma
September 8th - Battle Class, outside
"Okay students! Today is going to be different." Started Koga. Some random student mumbled something like, 'This is the second class. How could it be that different?' "Today, we," he motioned between Lance and himself. "Are going to match several students up for a battle. So, when I call your name, step forward and get ready to battle."
"After seeing you battle yesterday, we tried partnering up people who have similar tactics, battle strengths typing, and others, as well as people with opposite tactics, and all that. Remember: I want a quick fight, we only have two hours."
"One hour, fifty four minutes, and forty-seven seconds." Reported Koga, using his famous ninja skills to check a watch the had hid in his robes, fast enough to immediately hide the watch before anyone noticed.
"Thank you... Koga." Lance replied, giving Koga a certain stare, while not as frightening as his most famous stare, still sent shivers up Koga's spine, as well as the other students who saw it.
"No... No problem." Koga gulped.
"Now... ELISE ROSE and OHATA SHIRUMA! Hurry up we don't have al day!"
I quickly ran forward, getting in position, with Riolu at my side. The girl who was partnered with me, Elise, stood several meters in front of me, in her place, a Ralts at her side. I frowned.
A fighting type against a psychic type? This wasn't really that fair... if Riolu was a normal fighting type. But he isn't! He's the best Pokemon , and he's going to show why!
Smirking ever so slightly, I inspected my opponent.
Standing at five foot seven, I had to admit(Not putting in appearance again. Too lazy. Look at last chapter if you want to know.), she was pretty cute. But being cute doesn't mean you'll win!
She said something to her Ralts, who raised its arms and gave out a cry, a purple light appearing around it. Oh shit, did the match start?
Riolu was knocked back by a confusion, clutching his head with his left paw.
"Riolu! Sorry, distracted. Hit 'em with a Force Palm!" Riolu shook off the pain in his head, and charged forward, a blue energy surrounding his palm. When he got close to the Ralts, he punched forward, sending the blue energy forward and smashing into the small Pokemon, knocking it up into the air. When Ralts landed against the ground, it got up easily, revealing little to no damage done.
"A fighting type attack?" Elise said, getting my attention. "I don't know about you... but you do know that Ralts resists that, right? Confusion!" Once again, Ralts was surrounded by a purple light, raised its arms, and blasted Riolu back, causing a slight headache to hurt him.
"I-I knew that! Just testing the waters!" I yelled back, face slightly red. But... she was right. I was distracted. This wasn't good. To be a great trainer... I can't be getting distracted and lose a battle so easily! "Riolu! Get up close and personal and hit that Ralts with a Bullet Punch!
Riolu snapped his eyes open and ran forward, thinking quickly, I communicated with Riolu through our bond. Riolu gave a quick nod, which I caught, and jumped up into the air.
"Quick! Hit him with a Disarming Voice!" Ralts opened her mouth, and a shrill, but beautiful, voice shot out. With a high note to shatter glass, Riolu was shot out of the air, but it was just as planned. As Riolu fell, he positioned his body so he was perpendicular with the ground, head first. Then, just before he hit the ground, he Force Palmed the ground beneath him, making a dust cloud appear from the explosion, covering some of the field, and hiding the two Pokemon from view. "W-what?" Elise said, surprise in her voice. Her hand was held up in front of her face, as she lightly coughed the words out.
Riolu closed his eyes in the dust, sensing for the Ralts through her own aura. When he found the right aura, a light pink with a green tint, he opened his eyes with another snap, and shot forward as fast as a cannon, palms ready. He wasn't going for another Force Palm. This time, it was going to be...
Riolu appeared right in front of Ralts, whose eyes were closed to keep the dust out of her eyes. Ralts coughed slightly, and opened her right eye, because she heard something in front of her.
A high-speed punch was inches from her face. Hitting once, twice, thrice, Ralts was knocked around. With the fourth punch, an uppercut, Ralts was propelled into the air, coming out of the dust cloud. But a fiery kick soon followed.
Riolu jumped up into the air, doing a total of three spins, catching fire to his foot, before falling down to the ground with a drop-kick style attack, hitting Ralts in the middle of her body, with the fiery kick. Ralts was blasted down at the ground, hitting against the grass beneath her, and bouncing up slightly from the force.
Looking from both Pokemon, to their respective trainer, Lance called out the results. "Winner! Ohata and his Riolu!"
"W-what?" Elise cried out, knees bent slightly. She then ran to her fallen Pokemon, and picked her up, casting down a worrying gaze at her Ralts, Lily.
"Good job Riolu!" I said, a cheerful smile on my face as I high-fived the fighting Pokemon. Since it was discovered that there was a fairy type, scientists went crazy researching them. They discovered a few types that they were good against, and some that they were bad against. Steel being one of them. Though, in the past, if a Ralts had gotten hit by a steel type attack, they would be given a normal amount of damage as other same power moves... It was weird. It was as if, being classified as the type, made you that type...
If I said Riolu was actually every type, would it become true? Probably not. Pokemon could only have two types.
Walking forward, I handed his opponent, Elise, a few Oran berries that I stole from one of Kurai's bags. Of course, Kurai saw me give the girl one of the berries, and immediately knew where I had gotten it from. Especially since I pulled it out of the same bag that was labeled, "Kurai's bag of Oran Berries." Needless to say, when I looked back at him, he was pissed. Holding the brown bag up so he could see it in full, I stuck out my tongue at my roommate, only to make him more red in the face.
"Thank you." Elise said, smiling up at me kindly. She fed one of the blue berries to her weakened Pokemon, and stood back up. She slipped slightly in the grass, but I easily caught her. "Thank you. Again." She said, a blush on her face.
"N-no problem." I said, returning the smile.
"...are you finished with your... Love confession?" Lance said, with a straight face. We both jumped away from each other, face red, as the entire class, minus a few who didn't care, socially awkward, and whatever category Kurai fell under, laughed.
After we left the field, Lance continued the class. "Next up, we have... KURAI MASTERS and KHRIS STONE!" Whispers immediately began.
Kurai Masters... the last Principal's son, and the Great-Grandson of the first Principal. Khris Stone... the current Principal's... sister? daughter? Meh, you can never tell how old Steven is, what with his silver hair. He could be twenty, or he could be fifty! Who could ever tell?
Some say he's actually a hundred. But that is obvious bullshit.
Shaking my head lightly, I watched the fight, excited to see who would win.
Khris Stone
Same day, same place
I walked forward at the same time as my opponent. I was finally matched against Kurai! I'll admit. He was a strong trainer. However! I was leagues above him! Obviously!
Smirking, I commanded my Jirachi forward. Jirachi lazily floated forward, smiling the smile she always smiles.
"Shock." Kurai said, and the Shinx jumped off his shoulder, from being in the middle of sleep. I blinked. Wasn't his Shinx asleep? For, like, the last ten or so minutes? How did he respond so fast? He had started to move when Kurai said the 'Sh' in Shock, so how did he wake up so fast. And the look on Kurai's face... He didn't know either? Okay, let's stop thinking about this.
Lance looked from the two students, from Kurai, to me, and back again. "Fight!" He said, signaling the start of the fight. "Psyshock!" I yelled quickly. Jirachi shone with a purple light, and shot a condensed wave a purple energy and some pebbled that was on the ground, at the Shinx.
With calculating eyes that would chill any blood, Kurai watched the attack and judged the strength of it. He knew Jirachi was a legendary pokemon. Who didn't? The wish-granting Pokemon... Whoever meets this Pokemon, would own the world itself. But... Smiling a sly smile, Kurai knew from his last fight with a legendary Pokemon, how to deal with this.
In truth, he was actually holding back with that battle, to gather information about legendary Pokemon and how strong they were. He was impressed, but not that impressed. Psychic Pokemon were difficult to deal with, but that didn't mean they were always the strongest. But, even if he had gone all out, would he had won against that Mew? Metronome was an over-powered attack. It could be anything from Splash, to Luster Purge. You can't really do much against that kind of attack. Even if Metronome wasn't used, it Mew still would've been strong.
He wasn't trying to insult Opal and her Mew, they were a powerful combo, and he knew they were stronger with each passing day. With all these students... friends... rivals, around him, Kurai could only smile. 'School will be interesting,' He thought, and swung his arm forward. "Shock, jump around it, and rush in with a Charge into Spark!"
'SHI!' Shock cried, and jumped to his right at the last second, the Psyshock missing by a few inches, and ran forward, electricity zapping around him, sending his fur standing up.
I blinked. He dodged it? What? They were completely taken by surprise with that attack! Or... at least I think so. No, I know so!
"Jirachi! Stop going easy and blast that Shinx with a Confusion!"
"Ignore it and press on!"
Shock was assaulted by the Psychic attack, and gritted his fangs together, but pressed on, just like his trainer said. he ignored the force that tried to send him backwards when the Confusion landed, and ignored the splitting headache. Instead, he ran forward, facing the floating legendary Pokemon, Jirachi.
Surprised was written into my face, at seeing the small electric type continue on, even when he was hit. Before I could order Jirachi to do another attack, the Shinx jumped forward and head-butted Jirachi in the face, shocking her. Jirachi cried out, and was knocked back, but wasn't really that heavily damaged.
"Use Psychic to launch him back!"
"Shock Wave quickly! Just as the Jirachi was surrounded by a purple light, and Shock was lifted off the ground, outlined by that same light, he fired off a Shock Wave right at the Jirachi's face, damaging her even more. Jirachi fought through the electric pain, and threw the small Pokemon away from herself, as per her trainer's orders.
Shock hit the ground on his side, and rolled across the grass for a few feet, before he shot up to his feet, already running towards the Steel and Psychic type, electricity surrounding his body.
"Nice Charge!" Kurai shouted, a pleased look on his face. Happiness, rage, and excited energy filled Shock's face, as he ran forward, ready to continue his fight against the Jirachi.
"Pointless! Psyshock!" Jirachi fired another round of highly condensed purple energy, mixed in with some pebbled and rocks, at the Shinx.
"Counter with Shock Wave!" Shock rolled his head back, stopping his body, and then flung his head forward, crying out a ,'Shiii-', and shot a Charged Shock Wave towards the center of the Psyshock. An explosion sounded, and the two Pokemon were surrounded by smoke.
"Tackle!" I heard my opposing trainer call.
"Stop him with Psy-" Then Jirachi was launched out of the smoke by the connecting Tackle. "Tch, too slow?" I muttered to myself as my Jirachi came to a stop, nearly hitting the ground. "Psychic! Lift him up and slam him down!" Shock was outlined by a purple light, and he was lifted up into the air.
"Charge and keep charging!" Kurai called out, a confident but worried look in his eyes. Shock did what was requested, and electricity surrounded him, strengthening his electric attacks. He was then thrown to the ground, body smashing against it. He cried out in pain, eyes closed, but he kept Charging up.
Lifting the Shinx again, Jirachi lifted her arms, and then... swung them down, and the Shinx hit against the ground once again. But even then, he kept Charging. His fur coat was now surrounded by yellow electricity.
"Slam him!" I yelled out, realizing that the extended Charge might actually be dangerous.
"Flash him!" Just as Shock was being levitated into the air, he flashed his fur.
In the Pokedex, Shinx is listed as the, 'Flash Pokemon.' These names come with reasons. From a unique ability, to the shape of the Pokemon. Based on another animal, or inanimate object, or even an ability. In Shinx's case, it would be the ability he has when he is in danger.
When danger is sensed, all of its furs dazzles and blinds its foe. In that time, Shinx can get away.
However, in this case, Kurai is using Shinx's natural ability, to fight his opponent.
Lance smirked at the strategy. The students' covered their eyes in pain. Koga had on sunglasses, that weren't there five seconds ago. Jirachi was blinded and with a shriek, released the flashing Shinx prematurely. I, was, of course, blinded by the sudden brightness.
Shock easily landed on the ground, though injured greatly, he still had enough power. The flash didn't take up the Charge he worked on, taking abuse after abuse, and so, he was still surrounded by electricity, that was dangerously zapping the grass underneath him, burning it through its heat.
How much could an electric type Pokemon take from its own electrical powers? In Shock's case, he can control up to a total of six charges with Charge perfectly. And he Charged six times.
"Now, get up close and release your new move! Charge Beam!" Kurai had taught Shock this attack via TM the other day.
Shock ran forward, a fang sticking out of his smile. He was enjoying this battle. I slowly opened my eyes, and saw the Shinx almost at Jirachi. "Confusion!" I yelled at the Jirachi, but she didn't move. She was holding her eyes with her hands. Dammit! I mentally cursed.
Shock jumped into the air, and, with a loud cry, unleashed all of his built up electricity, and sent out a beam made entirely out of electricity, and blasted the Jirachi. The Charge Beam was an appropriate name, especially when used after using Charge. For starters, you charged up electricity, instead of just shooting what you had, you gathered some more and fired it with what you already had. So, with this attack, Charge was technically used seven times, and with the seventh, a beam was unleashed, following the gathering of electricity. What's more, it was released at point-blank range, with no space to dodge.
The heat gave off from the electricity, could've been counted as a weak Fire type attack, and the shock from the amount of electricity could paralyze even a Ground type Pokemon.
With a good strategy, and build up of power, anything was possible. Well, even with the charged up electricity at max, Shock still couldn't use it to fly, even for a few seconds, but that didn't matter, since that phrase was only a figure of speech.
The Jirachi was surrounded in an electrically charged explosion, that blasted the Jirachi into the ground, creating a small crater.
When the smoke was cleared, it showed Shock, barely standing from the exhaustion and damage, with one eye closed and Jirachi, who was just trying to get up. Then, with one last failed attempt to get up, Jirachi fell back and hit the ground, unable to battle. Moments later, Shock fell down, but stayed conscious.
"Winner!" Lance announced with his loud voice. "Kurai Masters and his Shinx!" A smile was on his lips, but he quickly hid it by coughing.
I stood there, staring down at where Jirachi landed, which was several meters behind me. Eyes wide, I took in what happened. I lost?
I lost? Did I seriously just lose? Are you serious? No way did that just happen. Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I looked to my right.
"Good fight." Kurai said. Carefully placed on his right shoulder, was his, now passed out, Shinx. He passed some Oran Berries he had from a bag, that was taken back from Ohata, and turned around and walked away.
Good fight? I repeated in my head. Blinking several times, I felt tears enter my eyes, but anger filled my face. Crunching my teeth together, I was filled with hatred of Kurai. I will get back at him!
He must have... cheated! I am the strongest! I will never lose!
But, as if God was saying that I wasn't the strongest, Lance called out to me.
"Get off the field! It's time for the next battle!" I slowly walked away. An extremely tired Jirachi floated after me, having been forgotten on the ground.
Lance watched the girl leave, and saw her own Pokemon follow after. He shook his head. It was at a time like this, that the trainer would help out their own Pokemon. Ohata had fed his Riolu some Oran Berries, and carried him away, after having given his opponent some of the Berries for her own Pokemon. She, too, carried her Ralts away.
Kurai did the same as Ohata, but what did Khris do? She left her weakened Pokemon on the ground and walked away. Either she was still shocked at her defeat, or she just didn't care.
Either way, she would be getting a talk after class. "Next is..." Lance continued the class as soon as Khris and her Pokemon was off the field.
Okay, that does it for this chapter! Don't worry, I will be writing longer! Eventually!
Anyway, tomorrow we have a half-day at school, but I'm going to the library with a friend to work on a project for Latin...
Anyway, let me talk about some things that happened this chapter.
1.) Fairy Tail opening 16 is pretty good.
2.) The thing with Opal and her Mew, was not meant to be taken as, "They suck." It was more... saying that Kurai held back, but still didn't know if he would have won if he had went all out from the start. Even if he did, he still could've lost, it could've been a tie, or he would've won, but Shock would've been out at the end of the fight, just like this one.
3.) Khris receives an early defeat and a hatred of Kurai. Now, the person who sent me Khris is going to be pissed, but why should I really care? Anyway, he really likes making OP characters, so yeah. Anyway, now how did a Shinx beat a Jirachi? Well, better planning. If you didn't notice, Jirachi only attacked, and didn't use wish to heal her wounds! Khris, thinking she's the best, thought she would easily win, and just kept on attacking. Kurai, on the other hand, thought about his attacks. He took advantage of Shinx's special ability, which is flashing their fur to blind their foes to run away! He used it to win! That is strategy. Like using protect to defend against a Solar beam! Strategy!
Anyway, if you have ANY complaints about anything that happened this chapter, please let me know. Remember, I will still find out where you live to break your arms and legs for complaining, and then thank you for the complaint, and use it to better my story.
KURO
OUT!
