Today is the day I finally leave the brat behind. I admit that she grew on me a lot with her determination and willingness to train, but I had slowed my walking pace considerably just for her to keep up with me so I knew that this unlikely partnership wouldn't last but it's boring to walk alone all day.
Ava had been coming alone well, her ice training has been going much better and beldum was much much stronger than before but he was more focused on its steel type and physical attacks over psychic. Of course I made him train his psychic powers to the max as it is a major advantage it has over many many others.
Ari had finally broken through and managed to reach Mach 2. Charizard and garchomp still sparred everyday but they have even more caution now when they fight.
After amora left, we picked up our pace and reached Watson in 2 days, totaling 10 days since I battled brawly. I am behind schedule and I don't know what weird tasks oak will throw onto me in the middle of my journey, so I sped up a bit more and I am challenging Watson with beldum. Riolu will be back up cause even though beldum is extremely strong, Watson fights with 4 pokemon. Magnetite, electrode , manetric and magneton.
I walked into the gym which was basically favorited heavily towards wattson. The copious is amount of electricity coursing through the battlefields is a major boost to any electric moves and is basically like an electric field. This man is extremely biased, but I hope his personality is not negative.
"Hello, young man. Welcome to my gym. I am Watson but you already know that so let's not waste anytime and go to the battlefield."
We were walking towards the field when he started talking again.
"You are very quite. Is it because cat got your tongue?" Is he trying to tease me? Ohhhh you don't to that with me. I don't give a fuck what you say to others but you don't try and tease me old man.
"No I just have no need to use it for meaningless chatter, you do seem the gossiping house wife type, so I will let this slide."
"Haaahah young man nobody has ever been able to respond to me, let alone actually match me in a battle of words. Let us battle in the field and see if you are as strong there in the Field as you are with words."
"Go magnetite"
"Go beldum, psychic and tackle."
"Magnetite use discharge,"
Beldum was covered in a blue aura before magnetite was covered into a similar aura and slammed into the ground. Even after being slammed like a dunk, magnetite gave out a massive wave of electricity. BeLdum wasn't effected by the wave and it powered straight through it and into the magnetite. Magnetite was flung straight to the edge of the platform and nearly fell off.
" use tackle magn-"
Before Watson could even finish giving orders, magnetite was thrown off by a beldum using tackle.
"I guess I took you a bit too lightly. That won't happen again, go electrode"
"Beldum, range attacks."
"Tch" That is the sound of a annoyed Watson, cause I know that electrode is a suicide bomber.
Beldum launched a long barrage of psychics and rock throws. Electrode wasn't experienced enough to dodge all the projectiles and was hit by them.
In that moment beldum rushed straight into elctrode's .. Face, guts? Body and pushed electrode around a few meters before electrode looked triumphedly Looked at beldum and exploded.
"Psychic".
The exact moment electrode exploded, a barrier surrounded explode appeared and contained the entire explosion. The spherical barrier traveled straight to Watson and exploded. The explosion was very much weakened and the only thing it did to Watson was to cover in him soot.
Watson's eyebrow started twitching extremely hard." Go manectric"
"Playing mister stoic? Well then beldum is better than you at it. Take down, the crown is untrained."
Beldum s eyes grew for a second before it flew straight into the air and came down on the released manectric straight onto its crown.
"The crown is untrained, the rest of the body is completely trained but you never trained its defenses enough for it to actually hold up a against me."
The manectric weakly got back onto its shaking feat foe a moment before falling back onto the ground, fainted.
"Beldum is extremely heavy, a take down on a weak spot is more than enough to defeat your manectric."
Beldum is extremely tired and I don't know if I should bring him back. I mean he did take on 3 pokemon but I have a tradition of sweeping gyms so.
"Beldum wanna fight? Or wanna rest?"
He looked straight at me before looking back at the battlefield and staying there. I got the message.
"You gonna bring out your ace?"
"You're annoyingly good. Go magneton"
"Beldum psychic and take down. Rock throw from distances,"
"Magneton use thunder and agility."
Beldum was covered in a blue aura just before magneton was thrown around the field, magneton somehow magneton to concentrate enough to launch a thunder. Now normally thunder is a low accuracy but the electric field makes it much much more likely to hit along with much much stronger,
" rock throw, metal claw.."
Immediately, a bunch of rocks floated into the air before being launched at the incoming bolt of lightning. The rocks significantly did diminished the power of the bolt. Before it could reach beldum, beldum reached the bolt itself and went straight through it and appeared in front of magneton.
A claw made of metal appeared from both sides of beldum before impacting magneton at the same time. Magneton was thrown back but it managed to stay on the platform using its magnets as claws to dig into he field. The magneton got up and ready to use another thunder before it was covered in an pyschic aura and thrown off.
On the field there was a nearly fainted beldum and on the ground there was an beaten up magneton.
I walked up to beldum and took his surprisingly heavy body into my hands and said" you did great buddy. I guess you have my blessings to be with a ava." I could sense a pulse of happiness and embarrassment before it fainted, to this day I don't know whether of the battle or the embarrassment. Aww man it is so cute,
Who knew a 10 kilo solid ball of metal with pyschic powers could be so huggable.
"I admit my defeat. Here take this badge. Thanks for the fight." He looked a bit but hurt but he was sensible enough to not allow his emotions to affect business.
2 days later
It took a while to get back to on schedule but guess what happened? Professor oak forwarded a request from birch. The worst part of the request is that I have to backtrack to brawly gym to get some letter from Steven stone and deliver it to Devon Corp chairman who is currently residing in lava ridge town which coincidently was where mr Moore was residing as the gym leader. The only good news is that we have permission to fly over the entire region.
(Mr Moore is flannerys grandfather and previous gym leader)
Sigh. I guess it is time for ari to have some exercise. I threw out Ari's pokeball and out came an extremely large and majestic pidgeot standing in a normal position." Ari we have to go fast. Extremely fast. Delivery from dewford to lava ridge.""Pi". It glared at me because I haven't used her much outside of as a traveling mule.
"Here, I will brush your feathers, if you are fast enough, then I may even make spicy berry porridge." Hearing me, it's eyes lit up and it got into a position ready for flight, as if asking when it can begin.
I got onto ari and adjusted my aura to the necessary conditions when flying on ari." I am ready, full speed"
We looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds before I realized that he didn't know where we are and where dewford is. " East" she nodded and took off at Mach 0.77.
After reaching the designated altitude, she sped up to Mach 2.1. At this speed I could feel the ridiculous amount of wind in my face and the speed by which everything passed by below us Is really hard to believe. If we take into account sleep, breaks and any other stops, it should take 2 days to go and come back to lava ridge. 1 day to reach and get the letter and another day to fly back to here before going to lava ridge by foot.
1 day later
It got boring quick to play with the clouds and to do a few tricks. I ended up meditating on ari's back. My aura abilities are in the middle of an explosion of power. I have made many a moves that were extremely convenient. Such as aura pull and push which were extremely weak and barely enough to summon pokeballs. Or aura observe, sending a pulse of aura through a pokemon to act as an sonar allowing me to see any injuries or internal bleeding. It doesn't work on metallic or non human pokemon though
And I finally made my strongest move. Aura avatar. I want to create a susanoo made from aura. It is a major work in progress. I can barely cover my one arm in solid aura before I ran out of my massive supply.
I finally reached dewford. It took so much flying but I was done. "Hello nurse joy, I was just asking to see where I could find Steven stone?"
"Oh you are the person they sent? Steven is in the granite caves, he loves to explore them."
Just as I thought things could get any worse, I got a call from MOM! Shit.
I scoot off into the wilderness to avoid being heard.
" Hello mom. How-"
"Don't 'hello mom' me you young man"
"I wasn't tying to do anything"
"Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you caught that soy in Devon. Now they are saying that you beat up another team from Hoenn. You know have three evil teams out for you. What! Do you want me to not care?"
"No mom it's just not like that. I was asked by the champion himself to find the spy. I even have the recording of him"
"Sigh, but what about the roasted chicken team"
"Mom, team magma sent a spy to spy on me and when that failed they attacked me but I am much stronger than them."
"Fine but unless you have some miracle which ca-"
"I may or may not have a daughter in law candidate."
...
"Who is she. Is it that sweet girl from camp or is it daisy. You are such a bold bo y. Ohh I can already see the grand babies running around, calling me grand mom. Tou have my blessings dear."
"Only if you babysit them from time to time. Children would love some time with their grand mom."
"I Don't mid at al.. wait young man, don't think you can getaway with this."
"What if I told you that multiple girls have crushes on me?"
"What, ooh my little boy is so big now, he will have all the ladies falling for him. How many?"
"Well there was Serena, daisy, green, Rebecca(Fighters daughter), Melanie(Bulbasaur reserve) and there is finally Giselle. That is without counting all the fans that I have."
My mom was practically shocked and in bliss. The thought that I was lying never crossed her mind because I had never lied to her ever, as long as not telling the truth and bullshiting doesn't count a lying. The sheer amount of joy radiating off from her was unmeasurable. She reminded me off daisy during her finals.
"Sadly, I wont be having any kids until I am 18 at the very least. Plus all of these girls have a large crush on me. Large it may be but a crush can fade with time and effort."
She wasn't saddened, not one bit at all
"Oh I know that. I just know that at the very least one of them will end up with you. Oh I am so happy"
She completely forgot about my escapees and we talked for nearly one hour before she hung up.
"Man That was exhausted. Sparring one-on-one with charizard isn't as tiring as this was. Ari let's go. If reach tommorow night, we will only be tiny bit behind schedule."
It looked at me before pointing out her dirty feathers. Practically asking me to brush them.
"If I brush them, then they will get dirty during the return trip. If I brush you after reaching, then you can Look as graceful as you want."
"Pi"
Sigh, I wonder where my favorite large pidgey who didn't care about appearances and wanted to wrestle in the mud went? Is this how fathers feel after their daughters grow up? I can already feel the nostalgia from a few months ago.
The next day
Finally I reached lava ridge town where the illustrious Devon Corp dude is. I swear to god if he shows a single sign of arrogance I will shove this important letter down his throat. Especially if he is extremely arrogant.
But first before that comes my battle mr. Moore for the fire type badge. Whatever it is called, it is such a chore to remember the names of the badges especially when you have been in more than a single region. I need to beat him before flannery takes his position cause he is extremely strong and is said to be ex-elite four. A one-on-one with charizard or garchomp would be very illuminative on their current levels.
"Hello I am ash Ketchum and I was hoping to see if Mr. Moore is free for a battle."
"Actually he retired a few da-"
"I have been waiting for. I shall end my career with a boom." I heard an old voice come from behind me and I saw a old man with bushy hair and a weird sort of robes. He was extremely serious and he had a typhlosion by his side,"One-on-one on along with one arrangement"
"What are your terms? Old man." I said as we walked towards the completely barren field with an open top. This is very different form the show and I can say that it is completely neutral.
"Haha the young ones have grown. I want to fight your old pokemon. I hope you don't mind if my daughter observes."
"Sure, wynaut."
"Sorry garchomp but it shall be charizard fighting this time. A fire on fire. You would have an unfair advantage and I want a completely good brawl."
"Go charizard"
"Typhlosion. I hope you have one more fight in you. We are going out with a bang"
The typhlosion jumped onto the field just as charizard flew in. They both looked into each other's eyes before letting loose an huge roar. Charizards roar was higher pitches but more rattling while typhlosions roar was deeper and a teeny bit louder.
The roars themselves could be heard through the entire town and into the forest. Some of the pokemon with stronger sense could hear it from around a kilometer. The loud typlhosion roar was heard many a times but the new competitor was also heard so a large portion of the town came into the spectators seats while flannery, who was standing near railing, had her jaw on the floor. A large amount of cameras were also on me.
The spectators seats were very far away from the field itself, around 40-50 meters.
"Heat up the battle field with blaze ty" So he also had blaze.
Btw* ty stands for typhlosion. All orders by Moore will be followed by ty.
"Charizard show him he isn't the only one who can do that."
Both of their flames expanded to an high degree while charizards flames turned blue.
"Dragon claw"
"Fire punch ty"
They both rushed straight into the center of the field and met With their fists creating a huge smokescreen and shockwaves. The entire spectator row was covered blown by a large wind and flannery fell on to her ass.
"Not bad kid!"
"Can you stop talking and start fighting cause I don't have time for these things"
I am sure that my battle maniac side was showing along with charizards as we had a major smiles on our faces.
"Flamethrower ty"
"Show them the the true master of flame Charizard. Flamethrower."
A massive blast of red flames fire Met the near tsunami of blue flames and clashed in the middle. There was no time for the flames to battle cause a massive charizard came flying straight through them and delivered a punch covered in blue flames.
Typhlosion was sent skidding back but it retaliated with a full force inferno. Charizard flew straight into the sky and then dived straight down onto typhlosion with its claws having a metallic shine. By this point both of the pokemon were battling on their own. The shockwaves had blown most of the speculates to the Edge of the gym or to their seats but I was standing there taking it like it was a breeze of wind.
Typhlosion curled into a ball of flame and launched itself onto charizard like a massive pinball. Charizard materialized two dragon claws and caught typhlosion with them. Even after being caught typhlosion was caught, it was rotating at a unbelievable speed and send Charizard skidding a few meters.
typhlosion used this moment to break free from charizards claws and onto the ground. Before typhlosion could center itself, it was hit by a take down from a massive charizard. The sheer amount of heat emanating from the field was enough to make the ground melt. Even from nearly 50 meters, the audience could feel the extreme heat from the battle.
"Inferno rush" the only command given since the initial clash. Charizard immediately obeyed by creating an avatar of a dragon which was completely engulfed in a massive blue flame avatar of a even bigger dragon. The entire dragon took about a 1/3 of the entire field.
This was inferno rush. Dragon rush covered in flames. The strongest move made by charizard.
It charged straight at typhlosion who could only erect a tiny barrier of fire as resistance. The barrier was crushed like paper and typhlosion was thrown onto and through the wall of the gym straight into the forest. All the blue flames immediately gathered straight into the avatar of charizard before being taken into the massive avatar to increase it size.
Charizard flew into the sky and gave out huge primal roar that could be felt from miles away, every single pokemon saw a massive avatar of a charizard roaring.
The flames immediately dissipated and charizard was nowhere to be seen. Before the audience could react, I had called charizard back and took the badge from a weirdly happy Moore before booting out of there and into the forest before anyone could think about what happened.
The next day
Yeah it turns out I was trending on ..well everywhere. Every household in hoenn and kanto had seen my face in the tv at least once. My battle had made national? Regional? News and my battle was analyzed by a lot of people but here I am taking a sauna bath with charizard, as a reward.
