Pokémon Trainer Hero
Chapter 23: Old enemy, New world. part 2
The pokeball popped open and instead of the normal blue light, a black light emerged from the device and formed its shape. The shape gained corporeality and revealed itself to be a Tyranitar...at least it looked like one. For some reason, something was very very off about this pokemon. It looked much much more pissed off than usual, as if it were a time bomb ready to be set off at any moment! Its colors were far darker and it looked physically stronger. Little black crackles of energy electricity coursed around its body after the initial appearance. It even gave off a menacing aura, one that made even the heroes feel their hair rise on end!
Bayo smiled under his mask, at their erections and thrusting his arm out, similar to Gar, he shouted, "Dark Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam!"
"RUN!", Gar yelled at the top of his lungs while turning on his heels and booking it as hard as he could!
Moltres and the other heroes followed after him with equal force behind each foot and wing flap to escape! As they were running, the Dark Tyranitar opened its mouth and quickly charged a beam that fired out in an energy laser of pure destruction! But this Hyper Beam attack was much different, as the color looked far darker, its width much thicker, its range far longer, and the destruction was more powerful! It flew over the heroes heads and just narrowly missed Moltres, which in turn hit the building across from it, causing the building to explode and getting knocked over in the process!
Seeing this the two heroes ran even harder, grabbing Gar along the way, and ducked into an alleyway for cover! The three of them hid near some tumpsters and dropped off Gar to catch their breaths! Soon Moltres followed in and took guardianship of the alleyway entrance as several more Hyper Beams cascaded past their hiding spot and destroyed even more of the city block!
After the heroes caught enough of their breath to speak, Hawks piped up and half exhausted asked, "Isn't that the laser Dinosaur you brought out during that meeting-?!"
Gar cut the heri off and firmly shouted, "It's a Tyranitar, not a Laser Dinosaur! And yes it is!"
"What's with it?! I haven't seen a full display of its power, but even I can tell something is different with that one!", Miruko asked as she tried to peek out into the street, only to pull her head in when another Hyper beam soared past!
Gar wiped the drool from his face and answered, "Your right, it is different, it's been affected by the power of that Dark Ball, Bayo was holding!"
Hawks looked at him confused and asked, "Why are you so freaked out of that little device? Is it really that bad?"
Gar nodded fearfully and explained, "It's worse than you think! A Dark Ball is what you would call an Evil pokeball! It's a ball that makes pokemon evil and brings their power to the max!"
Hawks raised an eyebrow as he calmly asked him in a straight tone, "Aren't they already that? I mean, you did say that Tina-tar thing can restructure mountain ranges."
Gar facepalmed and explained further, "That's literally just its nature! Pokemon are like your world's animals, they only do things because it's what their biology tells them to. They're not naturally wicked….except for Dark and Physic types, but they're a different story.", the two heroes just looked at the teen even more confused now. Gar saw this and gave them a short briefing, "But that ball is anything but natural! Once a pokemon goes into their, their most carnal, savage, and wicked impulses become dominant! In addition, it adds the Dark type to any pokemon or beefs it up if they are already a Dark type!", suddenly another Hyper Beam soared past their spot and grazed one of the buildings, causing rubble to fall all over them! Moltres shreeked and flapped its wings to casket the building pieces back. Gar shielded his face as he finished off, "And unfortunately for us, Tyranitar is a dual Dark Type."
"Evil animals with superpowered quirks? Just when you thought you've seen it all.", Miruko whistles while leaning back.
"Well, can you take care of it? You are a pokemon master or whatever?", Hawks asked him hopefully.
Gar looked at Hawks pleading face and felt a stone drop into his stomach. He bit down on his bottom lip as he replied anxiously, "I am, but I'm at a severe disadvantage here."
"Why?! You have that giant flaming bird! Why can't you fight it with this?", Miruko exclaimed!
"Moltres is a Fire Flying type, two types that are weak to Rock. A type that Tyraniatr so happens to be!", Gar shouted as another Hyper Beam grazed their hiding spot! "I came here expecting to fight an Ice type. I didn't bring any other pokemon!", Gar shouted while shielding his face again!
"Well that was pretty dumb!", Miruko shouted back!
"I was rushing to get over here before more damage happened!"
"And how is fire and flying weak to rocks?", Hawks interjected.
Gar looked at the winged man wildly and explained passive aggressively, "Have you ever heard the saying; kill two birds with one stone? Also, have you ever tried to cook or melt a rock?", Hawk said nothing in reply, but instead opted to pull his glance away from Gar, who said with a huff, "I thought so."
Yet another Hyper Beam grazed their hiding spot and hit a portion of the building, making it more unstable! The heroes saw the looming danger if they stayed there any longer, so they had to think up a plane quickly!
"So how do we take it down?", Miruko asked.
Gar ruffled his hair anxiously as he tried to pull the info from his highly stressed brain, then finally blurted out, "Well Dark Tyranitar is a beefier Dark type now, so it's even more vulnerable to Fighting, Steel, and Bug. It still holds a weaker version of its Rock type so it's also weak to Ground, Water, Grass, and Fairy.", he looked at the two heroes and asked seriously, "Do any of you have these type advantages?", the two heroes stared at each other, having no idea what he was talking about, and simply sat there with their mouths open. "Hawks I can count you out since you're obviously a Flying type.", Gar cut off any answer they had before, while the bird man shrugged nonchalantly. Gar looked at Miroku and asked the rabbit woman,"What about your Miroku? How close are you to a Fighting type?"
The woman took back her trademark aggressive smile and exclaimed while a thumb pouting at herself, "HA! Fighting is my middle name!"
"I thought it was Yuir?", Hawks teased her with his tongue sticking out.
Miruko slapped him and asked, "Anyone got a plan?"
Gar racked through his brain for an answer and then quickly blurted out, "Me and hawks will distract and stun the Dark Tyranitar, and then Miriko will come in for the kill. And be sure to hit it will all you got! Tyranitar are living tanks that sculpt mountain tops! That rocky armor anti just for show!"
Miruko smiled boldly and stated, "Be it rock or steel, these legs will break through anything!"
"For our sake I hope so.", Gar signed under his breath anxiously. "Hawks, you distract it, and Moltres will stun it!", Gar told the winged man, who gave a thumbs up.
Hawks flew out from their hiding spot in a pinch, using Dark Tyranitars recharge time to gain some ground! He dashed past the pokemon in a streak of red, disorienting the pokemon, and grabbing its attention from the dustriction.
"Hey Laser Dinosaur, look over here!", Hawks called to the pokemon from behind. The pokemon turned around, ready to attack, but was suddenly stopped when several feathers jammed into its eyes, nose, and ear holes. "Ha ha, now you're blind.", Hawks laughed at the creature while it thrashed around in irritation!
Seeing this, Gar sent out Moltres and commanded, "Moltres, use Flame Burst!"
The pokemon repeated the same fire move again that exploded when it hit the pokemon head on! Although it looked like it didn't affect the creature too much, it still stunned it long enough for Miruko to jump in!
"Now Miruko!", Gar shouted at the rabbit woman!
Miruko jumped out from their hiding spot and booked it to the stunned Dark Tyranitar! Once she was just a few feet from the pokemon, she jumped into the air with feet forward and let out a war cry as she whooped the pokemon in its stomach! However, her attack only seemed to deflect or bounce right off its body and left the woman to flop on the ground. As this happened, Dark Tyranitar shook off its stun and rubbed the ash and feather remnant from its face.
It looked down at the floored woman who looked back up with a look of surprise. Dark Tyrainatar then craned its head back and then shot it out forward while letting out a gut wrenching, ground shaking cry! "ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!", it screamed into the woman's face with such power it caused her long hair to flop widely behind her, as it lifted up a threatening arm!
Miruko froze up from the oncoming attack and tried to block it with her kicks, but was quickly saved by Hawks, who swooped in at the last minute and flew off with her just before Tyranitar crushed the spot where the woman sat! Gar followed after the two with Moltres close by, and straight into a new alleyway to hide. Hawks placed the squirming and unhappy Miruko down as all three of them sat to catch their breaths and replan for a new attack.
After Gar caught his breath again, he angrily turned do Miruko and demanded, "What the Distortion World was that?! I thought you said you were a Fighting type! But that blow was just a Stomp, not a Mega Kick! You're supposed to hit it with all you got!"
"And I did!", she yelled back angrily!
"If you did, then why did it take that attack like it was nothing!?", Gar got into her face!
"Then you tell me what I did wrong!", Mirikuo got back in his face while poking his chest!
"Uh, guys!", Hawks said fearfully between them.
The two angry people looked at the bird man who fearfully pointed to the alleyway entrance. Both turned their heads and saw none other than Dark Tyranitar standing their meaning!
Tyranitar looked like it was about to attack, but Gar was far faster and shouted in command, "Moltres, keep Dark Tyranitar distracted!"
Moltres rushed from above and tackled Dark Tyranitar with such force it caused the pokemon to stubble backwards! But Tyranitar grabbed the bird and threw it to the side! Just before Dark Tyraniatar could focus its attention on the heroes, Moltres spewed out a red hot Flamethrower directly into the monster's face! The creature went blind and stumbled back trying to get out of the torrent! This gave Moltres another chance to attack and the bird tackled the pokemon again, but this time grabbed hold of its face and arm with its talons! Moltres lifted the huge pokemon into the air, moving it away from the three, while striking it with its beak!
Now that they had some breathing room to figure out a different plan, Miruko turned back to Gar and exclaimed, "So are you gonna tell me how I should improve my attacks Mr. 'Pokemon master'!"
Gar facepalmed got her question and exclaimed back to her, "You don't need improvement, you need to do it right!"
Miruko gave him an unusual confused look and shot back, "And how's that?! Fighting is just hitting something harder than you normally would."
God rolled his eyes while blowing out air and explained, "Psh! Not in my world it isn't. In my world, fighting comes from one's spirit, their desire, their burning passion!", Miruko looked on at the teen and listened with interest and confusion. "Every attack they throw has their all and all put into it, no matter what! It's the burning force that drives them! And it's what comes out of every attack they land!", Gar then pointed a finger at her with an intense passion in his eyes so strong it looked like fire and exclaimed with an authoritative tone stated, "And that's what you have to do too! Give it all you got, 110% and more so! Don't just fight, feel your fighting spirit explode through every movement!"
Miruko now had a look of shock, amazement, and self questioning written on her face. Her mouth hung open as her eyes stood wide and her body held a nervous tightness to it.
She looked down at her gloved hand and, tightening it into a fist she asked herself softly, "Have….have I really not been putting all of myself into my fighting?"
Before she could contemplate more or any of the other two men could say anything, Moltreses injured body suddenly flew into the alleyway and crashed into a pile of garbage!
"Moltres!", Gar shouted in shock as he ran to The Legendary Bird Pokemon and gently cradled its head up. "Are you okay?", He's softly asked the injured pokémon.
Before the pokémon could even squeak back, Dark Tyranitar was already back on top of them! Looming over there hiding spot with its dark aura filling every last crevice of the small space! Tyranitar went to attack the teen and his downed Pokemon, but Hawks threw his feathers at the creature! Irritating it and drawing it's attention away!
Miruko was still in a stunned position, looking wide-eyed and flabbergasted staring at her hands. Almost looking down on herself, as if contemplating if she was a real hero or not. While Hawks was desperately trying to keep Tyranitar busy as Gar tried his best to haul his injured pokemon to safety!
"Miruko, whatever you're gonna do, do it now!", Hawks stressed to her in a pleading shout!
Miruko then closed one of the hands she was looking at with a tight fist! She ground her teeth as a shadow immersed her downturned face! Hawks thought she was giving up or having an identity crisis. Hawks mentallly cursed Gar for putting Miruko out of commission. Suddenly the woman shocked and surprised both people and pokemon when she suddenly started to scream! But this wasn't a scream of terror or pain, no, this was a true full passionate war cry!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!", she yelled as her hair flew up in the air and a strange energy flowed around her like some kind of super saiyan! Everyone staring at her was now both impressed, confused, and very afraid!
She then flew from her spot in a mad sprint towards Dark Tyranitar, who had flinched from the overpower sight of the woamns new found….whatever. She jumped into the air once more, but this time it was like pure energy was flowing for every fiber of her being, making the scene look like something out of a japanese sci-fi movie!
She then whipped her leg in front and swung it in the direction of Dark Tyranitar's shoulder, while screaming, "EAT THIS!"
This time the blow didn't just bounce straight off the pokemon, instead the blow was absorbed by the pokemon and the force of the attack was so powerful that it knocked the huge pokemon clean off its enormous feet and sent it flying across the street! Dark Tyranitar's face described one of shock and pain, as its armored hide practically cracked from the impact and ended up skinning its face a good bit while being thrown and skidded across the pavement! The pokemon only stopped after it crashed right into a light post and laid there in an unmoving steaming pile! Then everything went quiet as everyone processed what just happened.
"ALRIGHT MIRUKO!", Gar shouted exuberantly, while cutting the silence short!
"WHOOHOO!", Hawks cheered with him!
Mirkuo was out of breath with adrenaline running all through her body. Sweat collected on her forehead and her heart beat at such an excited pace. She was shaking and tense at the same time and she didn't know how to react to it.
She looked at her handy work and stammered out, "I-I did it? I really did it. And it felt so….so... great!"
"See, I knew you had it in ya!", Gar exclaimed, giving her a thumbs up!
She looked back at Gar and gave him a smile with a thumbs up. While this was happening, Dark Tyranitar was already getting back up on his feet and shaking off the dust, looking ready to start round two!
Miruko saw this and getting into an offensive stance she told the other two boys, "Now let's take this overgrown lizard down!"
"Now that's what I'm talking about!", Gar exclaimed while pulling out a Full Restore and unloading the whole thing on Moltres.
The pokemon's eyes shot open and the bird shot back up to its feet while igniting its fire plumage on full blast, spreading its wings, and sounding off a battle cry into the air!
"Ho oh! Now things are really getting interesting. I like that. Kukuku.", Bayo said from the sidelines as he tried to look cool and composed, but couldn't help from bouncing like an excited child. He looked into his Dark pokemon and commanded, "Dark Tyranitar, use Earthquake!"
The pokemon then lifted its huge arm into the air and slammed it into the ground with such force that it caused the entire street block to shake violently! However, Hawks grabbed Miruko and flew off into the air before they could be hit by the attack! Alongside Gar, who jumped on Moltres's back and flew off before they could be affected!
Once in the air, Bayo switched gears and told Dark Tyranitar to use Rock Throw. The pokemon grabbed a huge chunk of the street and was ready to lob it at the flying heroes, until Gar gave another quick command, "Moltres, use Air Slash!"
The pokemons wings glowed and flapped hard, creating windy razor blades that struck the pokemon and the earthen chunk it was holding, shattering it to dust and blinding the pokemon in a cloud! Dark Tyranitar blew the cloud aside with its huge arms and proceeded to take another shot at the flying heroes. But when it took a step to garb a new chunk of earth, the ground beneath its feet suddenly caved in and the pokemon felt its body fall backways! Gar pumped his fist into the air seeing his plane work: hitting the ground with Air Slash and making it to unsable for Dark Tyranitar's huge weight to hold.
Just as Dark Tyranitar felt himself fall back, he just as quickly felt his body get lifted back up, and then continued to go up and up until its body was lifted off the ground!
"Hope you can fly as well as you can hit!", Hawks called out to the pokemon as nearly all his feathers were being used to lift the huge pokemon into the air from the back!
Mirkuo then ran in, gaining air on a small staircase made of hawks feathers. She jumped into the air and came down while shouting, "Full Moon, Tromp Kick!"
Miruko landed a hard blow on Dark Tyranitars face with such force it made the pokemons face cave in for a brief moment before breaking the feathers and crashing against the grund with such force the street broke apart into a perfect Tyranitar indent! Dark Tyraniatr tried to lift its head up from the ground, but the strain on the pokemons face was too real, and the creature dropped its head as swirls formed in its eyes.
"Dark Tyranitar has fainted! Buzzt. Moltres, Hawks, and Mirko win! Buzzt.", Rotom announced while popping out of Gars pocket.
"Alright! Nice job team!", Gar shouted in victory while landing with Moltres.
"That's definitely one for the album.", Hawks commented while snapping a picture on his phone.
"Guys! Celebration after our business.", Miruko told the two boys.
"Oh yeah, Bayo.", Gar realized while snapping his fingers.
Bayo took out the dark ball and redtuend the dark pokemon. He looked at the ball and then softly giggled to himself before looking at the group of heroes and saying, "As usual, you always manage to beat me, even when you're at the disadvantage, Gar. Kukuku."
Gar pointed a demanding finger while exclaiming, "Give up Bayo. There's three of us, plus a legendary! No matter what you throw our way, well just knock it out of the way!"
Mirkou kicked the air a few times to intimate the boy, while Hawks turned two of his feathers into swords, and Moltres spewed hot ash from its beak!
Bayo smiled under his mask while laughing and told Gar, "Kukuku. I'd love to stay and fight you some more Gar-Gar, but I have other things to do. Things that need my presence. I've done what I came to do, so I'm gone. Well see each other again soon, Ta.", with that the black shadow tentacles emerged from the ground and wrapped around the boy before pulling him down into the ground, disappearing from sight!
Miruko tried a desperate attempt to grab the boy, but she wasn't quick enough and only hit the concrete ground with a trace of Bayo left. She kicked the wall adjacent to her and shouted angrily, "Dammit! He got away!"
"So what's this mean for us?", Hawks asked Gar.
Gar looked around at the state of the city street and couldn't help but wonder one thing. What was Bayo trying to do? What was the purpose of destroying a city block? Street lights were gone, cars were crushed, had exploded, toppled over or thrown around. The ground looked like several sinkholes and fissures opened up and then stopped, fire hydrants exploded with water gushing all over, power lines fired off in the streets, store fronts were wrecked beyond identification. Steam and smoke from debris and fire billowed into the air like chimney stacks, covering large parts of the damaged area in an eerie haze like fog. Even buildings, large and small, had been damaged beyond repair or completely demolished or even toppled over like domino's. Moltres could sense Gars growing anxiety and draped one of its wings over the teen back affectionately.
Gar sighed fearfully and in a shaky voice he answered, "Something really bad."
