A New Start As A Trainer/ Chapter 13: First Battle Goes Hectic
#13 of A New Start As A Trainer
Hey guys. Got some good news and bad news.
Bad news: TripleX's schedule got changed due to him having a new semester.
Good news: We will continue to write stories as BEST as we can.
We are very sorry, though we will continue.
................
"SHIT! What'll we do? We can't run for it!" Cried Lucas. He immediately let go of Lucario's hand when he heard the reporter. Lucario wasn't happy about that, and Latias noticed the aura Pokemon's reaction. She started to get more and more suspicious of the two. She decided to talk to either both of them after the battle...... alone. As she's pretty convinced after seeing Lucario's upset expression from Lucas releasing each other's hand/paw.
"Then I guess we WILL have to fight then. CRAP! I was hoping this wouldn't happen!" Exclaimed David.
"Why? Nervous that you aren't very good?" Lucas joked while crossing his arms.
"No, I didn't want anyone to see that I have Latios and Latias with me!" He yelled, signalling that both Eon Pokemon were still visible.
'He DOES have a point there.' Thought Lucas.
"So, are you up for it?" Called from the lady reporter, tossing her Pokeball up and down (no pun intended you sick pervs xD).
"Guess we have no choice..... But yeah, we're up for it!" David called back.
Lucas quickly added in, "If we win, you edit out Latios and Latias. That way no one will know he has them in Sinnoh."
David was shocked and somewhat happy that Lucas added that as relief washed over him.
The reporter nodded and then shouted, "Let the BATTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE BEGIIIIIIIN!!!!" Then the lady reporter and cameraman threw their Pokeballs into the air, releasing a (female) Gardevoir and a Magneton, on the opponent's side. On the heroes side (just using it) was Lucario and Treecko. The battle then took its course.
"Uh huh, this will be easy...... Gardevoir use Physic on that Lucario!" The lady reporter ordered. Gardevoir obeyed and puts her palms together as the physic Pokemon closed her eyes as they slowly started to glow light blue.
'Crap! I knew this would happen!' David thought. He knew very well that Gardevoir had the advantage over Lucas' Lucario since Gardevoir is a physic type. Which is super effective against fighting types, and that's what Lucario is. "Treecko quickly use Quick Attack on Gardevoir!" David called in desperation. He did not want to let that Gardevoir to open her eyes and unleash its move on Lucario. He just hopes that Treecko would get there in time.
The gecko Pokemon did what he was told and went all on fours and began to gain high speed towards the concentrating Gardevoir, along with a white glow behind the gecko's trails.
"Oh no you don't, Magneton use Supersonic!" The cameraman shouted. After the command Magneton's eyes starts to glow red and immediately starts firing multiple transparent rings from its eye towards Treecko. But due to Treecko's incredible speed from his quick attack, he was able to avoid the rings, but just barely.
Lucas at the time thought he needs to do something now as he could see Treecko was having difficulty going towards Gardevoir from all the rings coming from the Magneton. "Lucario help out Treecko by using Aura Sphere on Magneton." Lucas spoke to Lucario. The aura Pokemon quickly withdrew his paws as he was ready to produce an aura sphere. When it was ready, Lucario aims at the magnet Pokemon as he was about to release it, but somehow he just stood there. "Lucario what are you waiting for? Use that Aura Sphere!" Lucas said, as he could only see that his mate is not even moving an inch. But that's when he slowly saw something glowing around the aura Pokemon.
"L-Lucas I...... I can't move!" Lucario said as he panicked in his spot. He tried to move, but it didn't do any good. So when both Lucas and Lucario look straight ahead, they can clearly see that Gardevoir already had her blue glowing eyes open. And when the physic Pokemon slowly moves its head upward, so did Lucario. "Lucas what do I do?!" The aura Pokemon said in fear as his whole body was being lifted up into the air.
"Just hang in there!" Lucas called up. He was starting to panic himself as he then looked at David for any answers, but David was too focus on the battle with his eyes looking intently at the gecko Pokemon.
'C'mon Treecko get through that damn attack.' David thought as he was frustrated from the Magneton's attack on the gecko Pokemon while gaining his way towards Gardevoir, who had her eyes open and was already using physic on Lucario.
Even if the supersonics were giving the gecko Pokemon some difficulty, he somehow manages to get around them and was heading straight towards the Gardevoir, but he was started getting tired from all the dodging he had to do.
Lucario at this time thought that he was going to be K.O. if this attack were to be successful. He still had his aura sphere in his palms, but he can't even friggen use it as he's paralyzed in mid air. The aura Pokemon only growled in frustration, feeling absolutely helpless and vulnerable throughout this battle.
"Hurry up! Bring that Lucario down...... HARD!" The lady reporter said as a smirk was planted on her face, thinking that this was going to be an easy win.
The physic Pokemon was going to bring Lucario down, but she had to wince from the sudden pain coming from her stomach as she closed her eyes tight in pain and hold onto her stomach.
"Yes! Way to go Treecko!" Cheered David along with the Latios and Latias at the sidelines. David saw that the gecko Pokemon effectively head butted the Gardevoir just in time. But he soon realizes that dodging from all of the supersonics Treecko did really put his stamina down to a low level as he was continuously panting.
"Magneton use Supersonic again, and this time don't miss!" The cameraman snapped while holding the camera on his shoulder, getting all the action. The magnet Pokemon only replied by its eyes started glowing red again and aimed itself behind the gecko Pokemon.
"Treecko watch out!" David called towards the gecko Pokemon, but he feels like it might be too late for the small Pokemon. Treecko looked from behind and saw that Magneton was right behind him. He knew he couldn't dodge its attack now, so the gecko Pokemon fatefully braced himself for what's coming at him.
Once Lucas saw that Lucario wasn't surrounded by the light blue aura anymore he quickly shouted, "Lucario use that Aura Sphere now!" He said. Lucas then looked worriedly towards David's Treecko as he was about to be hit.
"Did someone order an Aura Sphere? Rrrrraahhhh!" Lucario yelled while he was in mid air and was free from the physic Pokemon's grasp. He immediately put all the strength he could possibly muster in his aura sphere. And with much force, he sent the Aura Sphere spiralling towards the Magneton Pokemon.
Everything seemed to be going in slow motion as the Magneton was about to unleash it's supersonic towards Treecko. While at the same time, Lucario's Aura Sphere was coming fast towards the magnet Pokemon.
During that time Treecko was waiting for Magneton's attack to hit him. But as seconds go by, it didn't for some reason. The gecko Pokemon then let his guard down and looks behind him, but what he saw next was a blue blurry ball out of nowhere impacted the magnet Pokemon, just as it was about to hit him. The attack misfired as the transparent rings flew at some other direction, unaware to everyone that the transparent rings DID hit something.
Treecko had to cover his ears due to the loud collision of the blue ball made against the Magneton, and shutting his eyes from the brightness from the explosion.
Lucario grinned to himself as he saw his aura sphere hit right on target. He knew that the supersonic attack wouldn't hit Treecko as it went off flying to who knows where. He then gracefully landed on his padded feet and putted himself in a battle stance. Looking straight ahead at the clouds of smoke his aura sphere made as he was ready for anything else that would come at him.
Right after the smoke slowly disappears, Gardevoir was instinctively coughing from the smoke as she levitated into the middle of the battle field as well as the physic Pokemon looks woozy all of a sudden.
Once all of the smoke vanishes, everyone could see that Lucario was in front of the confused Gardevoir while Treecko was behind her, and for Magneton. The magnet Pokemon is without a doubt knocked out. Since Magneton was part steel type and that it's weak against fighting type, it was a no-brainer that it did quite a bit of damage against Lucario's Aura Sphere.
But at the mean time, after the cameraman groaned in defeat and sent back his Magneton, everyone else at the moment was puzzled about on why Gardevoir was all confused while the she herself was holding her head. (Can you guys guess how she got confused? ;D)
..........
Mini Flashback
Just as the Magneton was about the hit Treecko with its supersonic, an aura sphere made contact with it just when the magnet Pokemon released the attack.
Obviously it misfired and it hit something else. What went unknown to everyone is that when Gardevoir had just recovered from Treecko's head butt in the stomach, she suddenly got hit at the side of the head from transparent rings and got knocked off balanced and was sent to the ground.
The physic Pokemon shook her head to get the dizziness out, but it wouldn't go away. She then tried to get up, but she had trouble doing so. Although when she got up to the point where she was now levitating, she was still dizzy and now there was smoke everywhere, making her surroundings even more disoriented. When supersonic hit Gardevoir, the attack causes the her to become confused, which supersonics was meant to do. Gardevoir then had to move, since the smoke was starting to fill up her lungs as she began coughing.
She didn't know where she was going, just as long as she can get away and breath. The clouds of smoke were slowly disappearing and now all the physic Pokemon can see, barely, in front of her was a blue blur standing there doing nothing.
End of Mini Flashback
..........
Both Lucas and David didn't know how the Gardevoir got confused, nor didn't care at the time since they wanted to get the battle over with.
"Lucario now's your chance, use Metal Claw!" Lucas said to Lucario. The aura Pokemon then spread his arms as the spikes on top of both his paws glow white as they started to grow, transforming into three claws.
"Treecko use Pound!" David called to Treecko. The gecko Pokemon then went all on fours, ready to charge at the physic Pokemon.
In union, both Lucario and Treecko charged at Gardevoir at both ends as they were quickly closing the distance.
"No! Gardevoir snap out of it!" The lady reporter called in desperation, seeing both of her opponent's Pokemon closing in after her physic Pokemon.
While running the aura Pokemon brought one of his arms back, ready to slice Gardevoir with his three metal claws. Treecko on the other hand was running towards the dizzy Gardevoir until he was half way and jumped in mid air and spun himself around, using his tail to hit his target, mostly aiming at the back at Gardevoir's head.
"No! Don't hurt my precious Gardevoir!" The lady reporter shouted as she realized that her shouting wasn't having any affect and couldn't do anything. But that's when she pulled out her Pokeball and returned the physic Pokemon. The red beam surrounded the Pokemon and got reabsorbed back into the ball while both Treecko and Lucario were about to hit their opponent.
The aura Pokemon was going to slice Gardevoir with his metal claw, but soon saw that Gardevoir was being returned. He tried to stop, but it was too late as he swings his arm down and rather cutting the physic Pokemon or through thin air, he unfortunately sliced against his ally...... Treecko.
Treecko was spinning himself at the time, so he didn't know that Gardevoir was returned into her Pokeball. So when he swung his tail around to hit, who he thinks it's Gardevoir, he only saw Lucario.
At the same time, both of their attacks hit. Fortunately Treecko's tail didn't directly hit the aura Pokemon's head, but he did felt something caught on his tail. Although it quickly snapped off and hit the ground somewhere. The object didn't go unnoticed to a certain red Eon Pokemon as she picked it up.
What was unfortunate was that even though Treecko's Pound didn't hit Lucario, his Metal Claw did. The aura Pokemon widen his eyes in horror as he saw his claws slice against the gecko Pokemon's midsection as the small Pokemon cried in pain. He was then sent flying to the side of the battle field and then skidded a few feet after he dropped to the ground.
"Treecko!" David cried worriedly as he instantly ran towards the gecko Pokemon. The crowd behind the reporter and cameraman all gasp in shock at what they just saw before them. "Treecko! Treecko are you okay, buddy?!" David said as he went up to the gecko Pokemon and was on his knees, cradling his head.
"Hey what the hell was that for?! That was so uncalled for!" Lucas shouted towards the reporter angrily. He could not believe what she just did, but he didn't have time to be mad as he quickly went up to his companions, who were all around David and the gecko Pokemon.
"David I'm so sorry! I..... I didn't mean to I-" Lucario exclaimed, but stop speaking when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Lucario it was an accident." Lucas said when he went up to the Lucario, squeezing his shoulder reassuringly. David looked up to them and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah don't worry about it. Treecko has been through worse." David said, but quickly paid his attention back to the gecko Pokemon as he was starting to open his eyes.
"Ouch...... wha-what happened?" Treecko said, a little woozy as he puts up his paw against his head.
"Treecko I'm really sorry for what I did. It was truly an accident." The aura Pokemon said down towards Treecko with a guilt expression.
"What?" The gecko Pokemon asked while looking down at himself, and what he saw made him remembered the past event when they were about to defeat the reporter's Gardevoir. What Treecko notice were three long cuts going from his left shoulder down across his chest, until it stop down to his right rib cage.
The cuts weren't deep, but it still hurts as well as the cuts started oozing out blood. David noticed this and rapidly undid his sweater and wrapped it around the gecko Pokemon cuts, so the bleeding would stop.
"Aww..... look how cute he is." Latios said teasingly as it looked like to him was a newborn wrapped around in a blanket. (That actually would look rather cute. ^^)
It was then that David went up to his feet, with Treecko being cradled in the trainer's arms. After that everyone went up to the lady reporter and cameraman.
"So, did you have a good reason for returning your Gardevoir?" Lucas said rather angrily, but tried to keep his cool down, with help from Lucario keping a paw on HIS shoulder.
"Well I just didn't want her to get hurt." She retorted "Beside...... you two were going to win anyways." She added while fixing her hair.
"And since you guys won by default, we'll edit out the Latias and Latios as promised." The cameraman said while giving the two trainers their reward he was holding for them.
"And we'll edit out when those two collided was well." The lady reporter said, indicating Lucario and Treecko.
"Yeah, that would be appreciated." Both Lucas and David replied while Lucario and Treecko nodded.
So with all of that said and done the reporter and cameraman went back to where they came from along with the crowd that followed them. But not before a few people from the crowd went up to the two trainers to congratulate them on their win; even if they won by default.
"Well.... that was intense." Lucas commented when the crowd slowly disappeared, remembering that it was his FIRST battle saught through completion (first battle was with the jackass Shane in Chapter 6). Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright let's keep going. We need to get Treecko to the Pokemon Center. Then we'll get your Kirlia and my Lucario." David said to everyone as they didn't argue about it.
As everyone was going to head back to Jubilife, a certain Latias went up to Lucario to stop him. "Hey Lucario can we talk?" The red Eon Pokemon said. Making the aura Pokemon stop on his tracks while everyone else went ahead.
"Uh sure, what's up?" Lucario replies, wondering why Latias wanted to talk to him.
"Well first of all......" Latias paused as she reached behind her back and took out a familiar necklace to the aura Pokemon. "I think you dropped this." She said as the red Eon Pokemon handed him his necklace.
The aura Pokemon widens his eyes in surprise. "How...... how did you get this?" He exclaimed while looking down at his necklace on his paws.
"When you and Treecko accidently attack each other, I saw his tail snap your necklace off." Latias explain, "And I just so happen pick it up for you." She said cheerily.
Lucario nodded in appreciation, "Yeah thanks Latias." He said while putting on his necklace again, making sure it STAYS on.
"Oh and I have a couple of questions to ask you." Latias said in a rather serious tone, making the aura Pokemon feeling somewhat uneasy.
"S-sure go ahead." Lucario replied.
For some reason from the seriousness from Latias' voice, he suddenly felt very nervous now, but he doesn't know why.
..........
Okay, THAT is done. Now on to the next chapter.
We'll send it out whe it is done, okay? BYE!
