BLUE POV

I had just ended a tasty capuchino with chocolate when this guy appeared, he asked if i was the oldman's grandson and i didn't answered, most of the times when someone was trying to be friendly was try to get to my grampa and i was getting tired it, so i decided to start being a nocturnal owl, when there was less people and it worked with high success but there was always someone that would bother me even at night but then he started talking about my victory in cerulean and asked for a pokemon battle

'so it's one of those'

i looked at what seemed to be his team, a slowpoke and a hoothoot

'they are fairly common and aren't nearly as difficult to get, he seems weak'

so i asked how many badges did he have and answered 2

'with a team like that im suprised you maneged to get any'

the number of badges indicated that he probably was really weak and broke, and when you are born in a family like mine the 100$ or 200$ of bets are used as napkins so i told him i wasn't interested and poked fun at him because who goes to the city with an electric gym with a water and flying type? this guy clearly had those badges because of a fluke but then, he showed me a tm that he said was psychic

'wait he has the psychic tm? from sabrina? then why didn't he made his slowpoke learn the move? he is either lying or'

i looked back at his slowpoke

'it cant be right? learning psychic takes a while to learn and he says he only has 2 badges'

suddenly this became more interesting, kadabra would benfit from that tm and this battle all of the sudden promised not to be as boring like the rest, and if he was lying there was a quick way to know, so we went to the pokecenter and i asked nurse joy if she could confirm that the tm was indeed psychic and when it resulted that it was, we went to the arena

'just who is this guy?'

So we went to our positions and he sended his slowpoke to the field

'if you are gonna send a psychic i'm not gonna be less'

"TIME FOR BATTLE go kadabra"

and with that the battle started.

the slowpoke stood still and just yawned and then stood still

'is this guy serious? Maybe he is just so broke that he needed the money of the bet but then, why not just sell it?'

so kadabra disappeared and i saw how the cheeks of slowpoke grew bigger and i knew what was gonna happen

'kadabra go back'

and a second later there was a water gun where kadabra was,

'kadabra always attack behind his back he is a reactive pokemon he won't attack unless you do'

and with that mental order he nodded and dissapeared from sight

'12 left'

when he appeared behind his back ready to launch a shadow ball he dissapeared too and appeared behind his back launching another water gun but this time it was stronger

'teleport and charged water guns nothing i haven't done myself, i can deal with this'

'11'

this time kadabra maneged to hit his shadow ball while he was chargeing his move and then fell sleep

'crap, that yawn was the move not just slowpoke being lazy, but i can tank a water gun even if charged'

i didnt expect the 6 water pulse that came his way all hitting on kadabras face makeing him go down so i returned him

'change of plans'

" Time to go all out, go wartortle"

he then returned his slowpoke that seemed pretty hurt even if he only took one hit

'that's kadabra for you'

and released his hoothoot to continue the battle.

The hoohoot took flight and that was his first mistake since wartortle started launching ice beams at him and while he dodged his trainer talked.

"hoothoot time to go all out"

'all out? what does that mean? its a hoothoot what he could possibly have that cou- is he putting on ear plugs?'

and then the uproar started and i covered my ears and wartartle kept launching ice beams till it finaly hitted makeing hoothoot go down in one hit

'Finally ! my ears where starting to hurt pretty bad'

wartortle seemed a out of breath but good over all and all he had left was a pretty hurt slowpoke victory was at my finger tips, when slowpoke got out of his pokeball he only seemed slightly out of breath

'so he has regenerator, thats why he changed, but it dosen't matter i know that he can put me to sleep so'

" wartortle shoot a water gun every time he opens his mouth"

victory was still possible even if his slowpoke could still teleport he shouldn't have many left all i gotta do is resist and the battle would be mine and then the trainer smiled

'i dont like that'

POV END

it was unlucky that hoothoot couldn't do more, i expected him to use hypnosis but he started useing ice beam and i didnt have the time so with a sigh i took the ear plugs from my back and asked hoohoot to go all out which maneged to disrupt the ice beam for a second before he kept going makeing hoothoot go down but the wartortle seemed hurt so i still had a chance , i released slowpoke to the field and looked at blue's expresion that was of surprise for only a second before it went back to the composed one he had during all the battle so we continued.

slowpoke started chargeing and when he opened his mouth he found an opposicion of equal strenght made by a bubble beam stopped the water gun dead in his track and i smiled

"slowpoke use last resort"

a look of comprension later and slowpoke started chareging again and then dissapeared

'7'

slowpoke appeared behind wartortle and hitted him with a charged water gun while the wartortle used withdraw sending him a couple of meters in the air

'6'

he appeared where the wartortle was gonna fall and launched another water gun that launched him upwards

'5'

slowpoke appeared in front of him and hiited him with his tail but a diference with other times its that now the tail was shining with steel energy which sending him farther than other times

'4'

Did you know that a turtle's stomach is not as hard as its shell. A turtle's shell is composed primarily of bones and dermal plates that provide protection from predators and give them structure. On the other hand, a turtle's stomach is made up of soft tissue and muscles that help in the digestion of food. Although the stomach may be tough, it is not as tough as the shell and does not have the same protective function .

you didn't Knew it ? Well i do and we are gonna take full advantage of it.

slowpoke appeared behind him and this time launched another water gun followed by a iron tail downwards sending him to the ground letting a crater followed by slowpoke falling in his stomach forceing wartortle to go out with a pained face that was recived with another water gun

'3'

slowpoke backed down and was at a 5 meter distance, looking how wartortle came out of the crater slowly while chargeing and when he oppened his mouth and wartortle launched a bubble beam it meant it was over.

'Another lesson that i gave my pokemon is that when a pokemon releases a move they will be inmobile for a few moments, enough for you to use a move of your own'

'2'

Slowpoke appeared behind him and launch a barrage of water pulse to him and put wartortle on the ground for good.

When the battle ended slowpoke used one of his last teleports to come near me and i started scratching him behind his ears that resulted to be where he liked it the most.

I returned him and started looking at blue that had returned his wartortle as well and he was looking at the cracked floor that was left after the battle, then he looked back and started walking towards me and whistled.

"thats quite a monster of slowpoke you have there you know? now i know how you maneged to win those gym battles"

" thanks, he is my pride and joy, your wartortle wasn't half bad himself"

" i hope so, he was my starter so i don't know what i would do if he was, but im curious, how do you plan to beat surge with a water and flying type? perhaps you plan to catch a dugtrio in the diglett cave?"

"nothing like that, im actually takeing the S.S Anne that would leave me in fuchsia city and take my third badge there"

" you are going to the S.S Anne? me too wanna have a remach in there? i heared they have a battle arena there i cant let my 100% winrate go down"

"100%? i just beat you"

"i didnt use my full team so it doesn't count, unless you wanna battle the other 2 in my team?"

"i think im fine for now, besides i remember something about a bet where you put 30000$ to match my psychic tm, sounds familliar?"

he laugh and gave me the money without any kind if remorse

'just how much money does he have?'

we went to heal our pokemon and talked till our pokemon healed and then we said good bye.

When i looked at my phone it was 1: 26 Am so i decided to celebrate going to the river where we started fishing and hoothoot did a thing that i usually never see.

'he is so cute when he is sleep, i wish he did it more'

i limited myself to pet slowpoke while hoothoot sleept on my jacket and went to bed at 5 Am.

When i woke up and realized that yesterday wasn't a dream i decided to spend a little bit in a meal more complete with a plate of pasta with Octillery ink and salmon

'huh, so not all food is made of pokemon '

and bought another 2 plates to hoothoot and slowpoke since they like fish and ended up costing 100$

'100 for all that seems a little expensive but i gotta celebrate with better food than magikarps and goldeens, they deserve it'

After that we ended with a tea for hoothoot a cold coffee for me and chocolate ice cream for slowpoke and decided that today would be a relaxing day since tomorrow we would go to the S.S Anne, so we spended the rest of the day swiming in the river , correction, i was swiming while slowpoke just floated, and hoothoot fished with his mouth the magikarps and goldeen that he decided where too near to us and then eat them.

It was a good day to be alive and i couldn't wait for tomorrow
