Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Gathering Partners

Onix is it really that time? Iris was excited to witness the birth of a pokemon. Onix's egg was shaking a lot in preparation for the change from egg to rock serpent. Look Gabite you're gonna be a big brother! Right at the height of the glow, the light changed shape and extended to sixteen feet long. When the light cleared there was a charcoal gray colored Onix. He was almost black but not quite, you could definitely tell he was gray. (Iris) Oh my, you have an Onix!? Yeah I said, I got it as a gift from the Pewter's Family of Gym Leaders. He's from a clutch the Senior Gym Leader's Steelix had not too long ago. I traveled with the Vice Gym Leader for a few years. This little guy will always remind me of them, not like I actually need that.

Hey little man, I'm Ash and I'll be with you from now on! Let's be the very best, ok? (Onix) You're my Papa? I exuded my aura for Onix to recognize me. His eyes lit up already knowing what I feel like before ever seeing me. (Onix) Papa! Ok Onix, this is part of my team. This is Pikachu, he's the team captain and the oldest. (Pikachu) Welcome to the world little man. Next is Cloud, he's a Piplup and he was only born two weeks ago. (Cloud) Hello little brother! I'm very happy to meet you! This is Ty, he's a Tyrogue and the protector of the group. (Ty) *Waves at Onix* Welcome to the world little man! We will always be here for you!

(Onix) Hello everyone I am glad you like me. He said in an almost whisper like voice. Don't be shy, I said, no one here will hurt you! This is only part of your new family, we are very happy you are part of it now. I said to Onix as I pressed the button to the empty pokeball to his neck section. The energy sucked him in and *Ding* immediately. Welcome to the team Onix, I am glad you made it into the world safely. His ball wiggled right before I called him back out so he could finish getting to know the team.

Onix, this is Gabite, he evolved right before you hatched. (Gabite) Hey little man, big brother Gabite will always protect you! This lady here vibrating with excitement to meet you, is Pidgeot. She cooed at the big infant rock snake, finding another child to dote over. This quiet fella trying to hide back there is Wingull. (Wingull) Welcome wee one, you're safe with the strong. He then promptly flew off to an isolated corner of the battlefield.

I would change around pokemon as I saw fit. Right now I was using my more experienced pokemon to teach the one's with less battle experience. I think I'll have to keep Gabite around for Onix. At least until I catch Bouldore again. From when I got the Everstone, until today. I have been giving Ty powdered stone in his food til he finally finished it. I shouldn't have to worry about Ty evolving anymore.

My team was lavishing Onix with praise and welcoming him. Making the newborn feel comfortable among his new family. We had actually just wrapped up the meet and greet, returning our teams. When Trip walked on to our battlefield. He acknowledged us with a nod and a silent wave. Hey Trip! You and Snivy ready for a rematch? (Trip) Yeah! Do you think you can indulge me with a 3 on 3 match? Same as last time I thought, just not as much arrogance. Iris spoke in my ear: You really want to battle him again? Remember what happened last time!? Iris was unaware that I had already beaten him, and was about to beat him again. He sent out Servine, I held up a finger Dexter was already making the call. (Oak) Hello my boy! Do you need one of your pokemon? Yeah! Professor will you send me the peace keeper. Bulbasaur's face filled the screen, speak of the devil, I said. Wanna help me out buddy?

(Bulbasaur) You bet bro! Who is it? I'll crush them for you! Professor Oak came back to the unit with Bulbasaur's ball in hand. I sent Onix to the Lab so he could meet the Professor. Now Professor, Onix just hatched a few minutes ago, please take care of him. In a flash Bulbasaur's pokeball materialized in my hand. Trip was just about to complain when I held up the ball. Alright! A grass type for a grass type, Bulbasaur: I choose you! I allowed both Trip and Iris to gawk for a moment. While they gawked, I spoke to my friend. Bulbasaur? What do you think of the Unova Region? His eyes got big and then narrowed a bit. Trip put his Pokedex back in his pocket (Trip) is it strong!? He! Bulbasaur is a male, and I hope you brought a plate! Because Bulbasaur serves up heaping portions: Razor Leaf! The on coming sharpened leaves came at Servine. (Trip) Servine: Use Cut. Bulbasaur: Poison Powder and follow it with Leech Seed!

The purple powder made its way towards Servine while the Leech Seed was making its way overhead. Using my aura bond to Bulbasaur, I issued one command. Solar Beam! The light started gathering before Trip even called out the next move. (Trip) Alright Servine: Use Leaf Tornado! While the leaves were gathering and slowly starting to spin. Now Bulbasaur! SOLAR BEAM! (Bulbasaur) Yeah! Take this! Iris had taken point as our referee for this match. (Iris) Servine can't continue, Bulbasaur wins this round. (Trip) Vanillite: Let's Go! Bulbasaur: Return, you did exactly what I needed you to! Thanks old buddy! As the crimson flash cleared I said how that bit of payback feel? Bulbasaur's ball wiggled in response. Oshawott: You're Up! (Oshawott) Sweet! My turn to kick your ass.

(Iris) Battle Start (Trip) Vanillite: Use Icy Wind! On the ground in front of you Oshawott, spin on your back and use Razor Shell. Showing off the beginnings of what will become one of our strongest Counter Shields. Come out of it into Aqua Jet! (Trip) Icicle Crash! Oshawott: Don't stop! Use Razor Shell to defend! Keep pushing forward buddy! Instead of the Aqua Jet freezing it slushed up and became a Brine Water Aqua Jet with Oshawott's frozen Razor Shell mixed in. (Trip) Vanillite: Get out of there! Oshawott crashed down on the floating snow cone. Only the edge with the ice blade hit Vanillite sending him flying away end over end. (Trip) Vanillite: Use Harden, then Icicle Spear!

In response to this now, Oshawott: Use Ice Beam! The Ice Beam caught the spears and sent them spinning back at Vanillite. While also gaining mass from the Ice Beam Trip was stunned by the clap back at his attack. By the time he remembered he was still in a battle, it was too late. The overpowered Icicle Spears crashed back on Vanillite. (Iris) Vanillite can't continue, Oshawott takes the match. Trip ground his teeth (Trip) YOU'RE FROM THE BOONIES! HOW!? That Oshawott is the same one from Professor Juniper's Lab. How is it THAT strong already!? I told you, I said, I came to conquer your League. Call out your last Pokemon (Trip) Grrrrr Frillish: Get in there! It looks like you're losing your patience there little buddy? You ok?

Here I said in a disarming voice, I'll use a pokemon I only caught three weeks ago. Magikarp: I choose you! My slate gray and burnt orange angry fish. I don't know where my guy got his insane move pool. But for a Magikarp my specimen is definitely in a league of his own. (Trip) HA HA HA HA HA! Did you really just challenge my Frillish with THAT useless thing!? Magikarp: Dragon Breath! (Trip) What!? No way that's poss, his words were cut off by the green flame hitting Frillish dead on. BOUNCE AND FINISH THIS WITH WATER PULSE!

*BOOM* Frillish hit the ground and slid to a stop in front of Trip's feet. (Iris) Frillish can't continue, Winner, Ash and Magikarp. (Trip) But How!? I told you last time, you made an assumption. That was, that this is my first time doing this. Or that I didn't already have a small army of pokemon to wreck shop with. I shrugged, either way, I repeat! I came to conquer your Pokemon League. I won't leave Unova anything but Champion. But if you think you've seen me battle? You better check yourself! Because you haven't seen anything out of Ash Ketchum yet! Like I told you, get strong enough so this never happens again! It's the only way to stop the feeling from emerging. With that, Magikarp: Return. We'll see you around Trip, keep working hard at it. Iris waved at him and we left.

-Unova's Aces-

As we made our way to the Sand Baths, we traveled through the same area where I originally met Pidove. As I thought of her I pulsed my aura in the forest. A familiar and soothing aura landed on my hat. I smiled, Pidove did you have knowledge of me coming? She nodded as she cooed her acknowledgement. I flared my aura and she jumped off my hat. She grew in size returning to her form as an Unfeazant. Holding up a pokeball Unfeazant caught herself again. I smiled at her, good to see ya' again girl. As we approached the sand baths, we were met by my irate Sandile.

He rushed up excitedly to Ash (Sandile) Oh man am I happy to see you again Ash! Why am I a Sandile again? What is all this? I picked him up and hugged him to my chest. Shhhh Krook I whispered in his ear, things will make sense in a few seconds. As I finished saying that, he began to evolve first into Krokorok, then immediately into Krookodile. The big fella stretched and popped several joints. (Krook) That's much better, I wasn't comfortable in my old body! I held out a pokeball and he tapped it with a claw and re-caught himself. We then informed the owners that they were about to have a hot spring here soon.

They closed down for a few weeks while everything settled down. They even offered us a free pass for helping them avoid any trouble it might have cost. We got back on the road after that shorter stop. Heading towards the Battle Club to meet Don George again. During our trip we stopped in a clearing we found, Everyone come on out! Isn't this field nice? Take a break, (Onix) Papa? Yes son? Why is the angry fish so strong? Hahaha! He is close to evolving, he will become a very powerful Gyarados is the days to come. Then the anger and power will make perfect sense. Onix looked at me puzzled but accepted the answer.

Speaking of! Hey Onix? Would you like a name or, is Onix good with you? (Onix) I don't know? Let's try one and see if you like it? How about Ore? Ores are required to produce metal. Eventually you'll become a powerful Steelix like your Mother and Father. This brought a fire to the little guy's eyes (Ore) yeah! I like it, can I keep it!? You sure can little man. Ok everyone! Listen, this is Ore from now on. This is Krook he's my Krookodile from this region. Oshawott climbed on his shoulder (Oshawott) What's up dude? Long time, no see! They bumped fists and had a giggle. (Krook) Well, ya' know? Waiting for this guy to scoop us up again is exhausting. The pokemon laughed at that

(Iris) WOW it's really nice to see you again Krook! (Krook) Thanks Iris. Hey wait a second? You can understand all pokemon too!? (Iris) No, just the ones that exhibit a certain amount of dragon attributes. Gabite was hesitant but also excited since Krook was so much stronger than he was last time. Krook stopped and did a double take (Krook) Gible? Gabite scratched the back of his head (Gabite) it's Gabite now, I evolved yesterday. (Krook) AWESOME! We're gonna have to spar some time! As we approached Accumula Town, I was a bit apprehensive. I'm acutely aware that none of my fire types have had a good life.

Pignite, you Charizard and Infernape have had the worst lots of the bunch. I'm sorry for that, I thought to myself as Iris and I entered the town. At the Battle Club I called Professor Oak and readjusted my pokemon. I also called Professor Juniper and informed her of my captures til now and that I had made it to Accumula Town. (P. Juniper) That's great Ash, is Oshawott behaving for you? Oh yeah! He's great he has Magikarp, Wingull, and the rest of my water types to work with as I rotate his training partners. Did I give you to the number for my mobile transport unit?

(Juniper) Yes I have it, you can transport your pokemon as needed. Thanks a lot Professor Juniper, Oshawott is doing just fine Professor. Ash, I'm getting another call, get a hold of me whenever you need me. Stay safe out there, bye! Bye Professor, will do. I hung up and got back to Iris on the battlefield watching a match. When I walked up to her she waved and pointed at the Servine battling a Watchog. This was the kid I battled last time around. It was about time I use him, when I stepped into the trainer box.

I grabbed up his ball, I threw it. Mawile: I choose you! (Don George) Today's Battle Club match Will be Dewott vs Mawile, Battle Start! (Random Boy) Dewott, use Razor Shell. Mawile: Dodge it and use Iron Head. (RB) Spin in place, cut it! I grinned Mawile: Dazzling Gleam! Mawile was very proud of having strong fairy tae. The Beam of Fairy Energy sent Dewott end over end and left him without his scalechops. (RB) DEWOTT!! Are you ok!? The Dewott grunted his response as he slowly rose again. (RB) Alright Dewott! You're ok, use Hydro Pump! His Dewott frowned and pulled in a deep breath preparing to fire the jet of water. Mawile: Finish this with Fairy Wind!

Mawile's Fairy Wind blew apart Dewott's Hydro Pump and he received the Fairy Wind head on. Knocking him out (RB) Dewott NO! (Don George) Mawile takes the match.

Awesome! I fist pumped (Iris) good job Ash! She said as I shook hands with the boy I battled. Don George, do you have a bracket for Double Battles? I have a few water types that need to flex their muscles. As I was dialing the Officer Jenny in Johto. (Officer Jenny) Hello Jenny's desk, how can I help you? Officer Jenny! This is Ash Ketchum, I sure hope you've been well. Listen, is Squirtle available for a few hours? (Jenny) Sure thing Ash, am I sending him to Oak Labs?

No I'm in Unova right now. I have a mobile transport unit. I gave her my number and waited for Squirtle to show up. I switched out for Buizel, Kingler, Poliwhirl I already had Cloud and Magicarp. (Poliwhirl) Ash I thought about it a lot the last few days. I want to be a Politoed! You bet buddy! I took my bag off and fished out that Kings Rock I was carrying. Ok everyone gather around! Poliwhirl is about to evolve into Politoed. I held out the Kings Rock and Poliwhirl took hold of it. The bright light flashed and flooded the area my tadpole pokemon grew to about twice his size.

The light dissipated and revealed a dark green toad with neon green highlights. He was a bit different than other specimen with the overly long double curls that hung backwards like hair, in a v. (Politoed) This, he paused for a few moments to take in his own countenance. (Politoed) This is AWESOME! He leapt and caught some prodigious air. He landed as light as a feather. How do you feel Toad? Is that ok? Or do you not want a name? (Toad) No! No, I like it. I believe it suits me. Great! (Squirtle) Awesome man! You look good, You feel stronger! (Magikarp) Very good old friend, we will battle and I will test that new strength.

(Toad) I look forward to it, old friend. Magikarp's eyes got as big as a small car. His grin growing exponentially, at Toad. I love being able to understand my family and speak to them. If I cherish one thing about being given another chance to live, it's this. The depth of our bonds is immeasurable now. A random girl walked in (RG) I hear you're looking for double battles. I'll take that challenge! Make your choices, I held a hand out. Motioning for her to choose, while I grabbed my team, this is gonna throw them all the way off. My oldest water types! Kingler/Squirtle: I choose you! She threw out a Deerling and a Durant

(Don George) this will be a double battle, Battle Start! Both of you: Water Gun! Two different sized streams of pressurized water shot out of claw and maw alike. Squirtle being a full time firefighter has the best speed, accuracy, and power of any water type around, let alone of his species. Deerling got sent rolling on the ground back to her trainer's feet. Durant used a Roll Out to defend herself against the Water Gun. (RG) Deerling: use takedown! Nope! Kingler: Earthquake, Squirtle, Rapid Spin: Let's Go! Durant jumped to avoid the majority of the attack. However Squirtle veered off mid-air and struck at Durant sending her end over end to the ground. From the contact point I hollered out: Gyro Ball, follow it up with Mud Shot! Deerling had no time and the poor girl was way out of her league.

(RG) DEERLING NOO! She hung her head and said Deerling: Return as the flash sucked her unconscious pokemon back up. You did well girl. Next time we'll win! Durant are you still with me? Squirtle: Return! (RG) Alright Durant: Use Iron Defense! Kingler: Iron Defense right back at them. Follow it up with Ice Beam! (RG) Durant: Use Metal Burst Kingler: Use Mud Bomb then get in close with Metal Claw! Kingler was able to get the hit off, the Iron Defense Durant threw up held. However, it sent Durant flying into the wall and the concussive force is what knocked it out. (Don George) Durant is unable to continue, Kingler and Squirtle take the match. I shook the girl's hand and told her she should keep working hard. After all her Durant is definitely tough stuff.

With that the girl left, there was another boy who thought his opponents would be Kingler and Squirtle. (Don George) Do you wish to battle this young man? He asked the boy that was waiting to battle me. Boy was he ever surprised, Totodile/Corphish I choose you! (Random Boy) Boy! You sure do have some awesome pokemon. Looks like you've traveled a lot! I scratched the back of my head mareepishly. Yeah, they're the best! I said, ready to battle? (RB) Yeah, we won't lose to some visitor! Dewy/Zweilous Let's Rock! (Don George) This match will be a double battle, Battle Start! Alright guys I trust your skills fully, lets show them. Totodile: Water Gun, Corphish: Bubble Beam! (RB) Dewy: Razor Shell, Zweilous: Hyper Voice! Totodile: Scary Roar, Corphish: push back with RAZOR SHELL!

The Hyper Voice didn't affect Totodile as much until. (RB) Zweilous: Use Taunt, then Crunch. HEADBUTT: TOTODILE! Follow it up with Aqua Tail. (RB) Zweilous: Dragon Breath! Break it up with Dragon Tail Totodile! Zweilous' Dragon Breath really packed a punch! Because Totodile found himself skipping across the battlefield. (RB) Dewy: Water Pulse Now! Corphish! Harden and bat it away with X-Scissor! Totodile got up with a grunt of effort, as he was hit again by a Double Hit this time. Totodile was really getting beat up due to his size and current move pool. He got up again growling and hissing at Zweilous. (RB) We've got that water type on the ropes Zweilous. Finish that weakling with Dragon Pulse! Corphish being who he is took that Dragon Pulse that was meant for Totodile. He was sent reeling and slid to a stop by my feet.

Hey Corphish, you still with me? He jumped up even redder than normal. Steaming from his anger, he exploded into an Aqua Jet. Alright Corphish! I can always count on you! Keep moving buddy: Metal Jet! (RB) Dewy: use Water Pulse to stop it! Not today! Go Corphish, Spin and Do it! Corphish corkscrewed his Aqua Jet, while lighting up his claws with a Metal Claw attack. He was mid-spin when he pulled up on Dewott. He took the hit right in the face, sending him flying in a corkscrew motion. Coming to a sliding stop at his trainer's feet, unable to battle. (Don George) Dewott is unable to continue Corphish takes the match. YES! I fist pumped the air, Corphish: Return.

In a flash he is back in his pokeball, Thanks Corphish! You were impressive as always. Take a rest, you've earned it today. His ball wiggled as he acknowledged my words. Well, one to go! Shall we continue? (RB) Yeah! I'm not losing to you again! Zweilous: Use Thunder Fang! Finish this nuisance already. Totodile: Dodge it and hit it with Iron Tail. Totodile's Dodge wasn't quite fast enough and Zweilous connected the Thunder Fang. TOTODILE NO! Be strong little buddy! You've never backed down to anything. I know you can do this! It's time TOTODILE! (RB) shut them up once and for all Zweilous: OUTRAGE! The auric pressure rose exponentially all of a sudden. Zweilous got his attack off but, *Flash* His body grew. He got thicker in the mid section, and his arms grew quite a bit longer and bulkier.

When the light cleared there was Croconaw Holding Zweilous in place. Now you're evenly matched buddy! HYDRO PUMP! Still holding on to Zweilous' body, Croconaw opened his maw and unloaded a stream of water. Nearly the size of his body, Zweilous was almost drowned by the water as it battered him into the wall behind his trainer. Zweilous crumpled off the wall, when the torrent of water stopped pummeling him. (Don George) Zweilous is unable to continue, Corphish and Croconaw take the match! I jumped in the air ALRIGHT CROCONAW YOU EVOLVED!!! You're awesome buddy, I said as I hugged my newly evolved Croconaw. (RB) WOW! Your Croconaw is really something else! I hope we can battle again sometime! Sure thing, I said as I shook his hand.

I turned to Don George, I believe we'll catch a lunch break and be back in a while for a couple more battles? (Don George) That's ok by me Ash, you've done well for yourself today. Your pokemon are quite strong as well. Thanks Don George, I owe it all to them! We'll see ya' in a few minutes, I grinned at the man, Iris and I took off to get something to eat. While we ate, next up I'll use Buizel and Cloud will get his first battle. Also I have Wingull and Toad to battle with as well. (Iris) Your pokemon are really cool Ash! They're so strong when they battle for you! It's really awesome to see your bond with them in action. Thanks Iris, I owe it all to them, they really do the hard part. All my pokeballs wiggled when I said this.

Back on the battlefield after a nice lunch. I greeted Don George, and thanked him for his work with these battle clubs. (Don George) Oh ho ho! Thank you young Ash, it's trainers like you that keep our doors open. Still wanting to work with double battles? You bet! There was a new challenger waiting for me. The other trainers heard there was someone here, with shiny and foreign pokemon beating the locals. The trainer looked to be about my physical age. (RB) Hmmm you don't look so tough, I think the other trainers were blowing hot air. They were just weak trainers with even weaker pokemon. No yahoo from the middle of nowhere can beat us! With those few words I changed my mind and decided to embarrass him. (Don George) This will be a double battle, Battle Start! Squirtle/Corphish: I choose you! This made the kid grin (RB) Samurott/Drudigon: Let's crush them! DRUDIGON: FLAMETHROWER, SAMUROTT: HYDRO PUMP!

Corphish: Put that out, Bubble Beam, Squirtle: Push back with Hydro Pump! Squirtle and Samurott almost broke even, this made the kid take a step back. (RB) What the hell is that!? How can a starter be matched up to my Samurott!? NO! I WON'T ACCEPT IT! DRUDIGON: IRON HEAD! Samurott: Use Aqua Jet and Razor Shell to end that Corphish. I don't think so, Corphish: Aqua Jet, back it up with Razor-Slash! A combination of Razor Shell and Night Slash. Samurott and Corphish broke even, and this infuriated the boy even more. Squirtle: Dodge and hit it with Aqua-Bash! Squirtle did just that and was able to knock the Drudigon off its feet. (RB) WHAT!? Drudigon get on your feet, NOW! Squirtle: Water Gun, right between the eyes!

The dragon reeled from the attack, Squirtle has been a firefighter for so long that his Water Gun alone is extremely pressurized. When the attack ceased, there was a couple of scales missing from it. Ouch! Squirtle you've gotten stronger! Awesome! Switch up: Water Pulse! Corphish and Squirtle changed who they were facing unleashing twin Water Pulse attacks. Samurott couldn't bat it away, Squirtle's Water Pulse exploded on Samurott's Scalechop. Cracking it and making Samurott wary of the tiny turtle. (RB) Drudigon: Smash it with Dragon Tail then use Iron Head!

As the Iron head got close, Squirtle: Rapid Spin as I saw him beging to lose ground. Show him Squirtle! GYRO BALL! Despite the power Gyro Ball provides, it wasn't enough. Squirtle was sent flying end over end, skipping on the ground. Ending up on his shell, SQUIRTLE GET OUT OF THERE! (RB) Finish it! Drudigon: Dragon Breath! Squirtle: Use Water Gun on the wall and follow it up with a counter shield! Hydro Pump! (Squirtle) You got it Ash! The Dragon Breath splashed off the Counter sheild. Giving Squirtle a chance to get on his feet.

(RB) FIRE BLAST!

Corphish was unaware of Squirtle being a firefighter. So he jumped out in front of him, trying to protect his teammate. Corphish took that Fire Blast being engulfed by the flames Corphish got angry, truly physically, painfully ANGRY! Everyone but Ash heard PHIIISHH! Before Corphish exploded into a kaleidescope of light. Within the glow and the flames Corphish grew to three times his initial size. The Killing Intent he was emanating was stifling. You would swear a Gyarados was on the field. (Crawdaunt) COWARD! You strike at my partner while he's most vulnerable! His fully evolved voice was menacing. (Crawdaunt) YOU'LL PAY!!! He roared out still wrapped in flames.

That single phrase sent out a shock wave of power dispersing the flames. While he simultaneously shot an overpowered Dark Pulse at Drudigon. Squirtle had many pokemon friends over his life but he had never had a teammate sacrifice himself like this. Especially since they hadn't spent more than twelve hours together total, over the years. This in turn gained Squirtle's ire, (Squirtle) Crawdaunt is right, you're cowards! I don't like cowards. In a bright flash the one evolution I had been waiting for happened. In less than five minutes I gained a Crawdaunt and now a WORTORTLE! The newly evolved turtle roared out. (Wortortle) I'M BRINGING THE PAIN BABY!

Launching himself at Drudigon charging what appeared to be an Aura Sphere! What was truly surprising was that there was an Ice Punch holding said Aura Sphere. Both moves should be impossible for Wortortle! Not without TM's anyway, on top of that Wortortle was faster than before. Wortortle hit a hasty Fire Blast from Drudigon. While Crawdaunt was engaged with Samurott again. He jumped up after another Razor Shell exchange. (Crawdaunt) TAKE THIS! A black ball of energy with a purple hue formed. A move that should never come from this species without TM'S, SHADOW BALL! He fired at Samurott only to have the giant otter slice it in half. Avoiding any damage from the attack, but being left in shock.

For the second time that day he was faced with an extraordinary pokemon. Not only that but both of said pokemon evolved during this battle. They're rather pissed at him and his teammates. AQUA JET: LET'S GO! Both Crawdaunt and Wortortle took off like actual jets. (RB) You two better not lose to them! (Wortortle) Ash, are all the trainers in this region so arrogant? Looks like it so far buddy, I answered through the auric bond. (RB) Drudigon: Use Dragon Rage, Samurott: Use Hydro Cannon. (Crawdaunt) Hey Ash! Let me show you a new move. He gathered another ball of darkness but this one had a red tint to it. He slammed the ball down on the ground (Crawdaunt) NIGHT DAZE!

What an amazing moveset my Crawdaunt has under his belt. Wortortle has moves that are out of his supposed move pool as well. I really do have the best pokemon. I was brought back to reality when I heard (RB) Drudigon: Use Dragon Pulse, Samurott: Ice Beam! WOW I thought, this kid really has a problem with being bested. Awesome! Let's finish this! Crawdaunt: Dark Pulse, Wortortle: Water Pulse! I punched the air in front of me. The Dark Pulse ate through the Hydro Cannon and struck Samurott right in the nose. While Wortortle's Water Pulse was just a distraction for the Gyro Ball aimed at Drudigon's ribs. Both of the angry kid's pokemon hit the floor simultaneously. Wortortle landing right next to Crawdaunt after his last strike.

(Don George) Drudigon and Samurott are both unable to continue. Wortortle and Crawdaunt take the match! (RB) Awww man, those are the breaks! Your pokemon are really strong! I enjoyed our battle today. I learned a lot! I'm glad you did, I said, maybe you should explore Kanto, Johto, Hoenn. Lots of strong pokemon there! I'm sorry, I'm not very good with names, he said. I'm Ruben and you've already met Drudigon and Samurott. I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region. I hope we get to battle again too! I shook his hand and he left the battlefield.
