Third Floor
OOC: Thank you so much for the TM!!
As Jason was running up the stairs he noticed something circular on the floor, he examined it carefully and saw the words TM 01 Focus Punch engraved in it.
"Ah sweet a TM". Jason placed it into his backpack then carried on up the stairs. As he got to the nexts floor, he noticed a man lying on the ground, humming boredly as two flying pokemon flew in circles above hi. Upon noticing Jason's footsteps, he jumped up, a wide grin appearing on his face.
"Ah! A challenger! I was hoping someone would be brave or stupid enough to challenge the Tower," he said with an easy grin. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Seven."
Jason stared. "Is that your real name?" he asked hesitently, to wanting to insult the man.
Instead, Seven just laughed. "Certainly not!" he said, trying to muffle his laughter, giving Jake plenty of time to look him over. He had vibrant blond hair that seemed bleached and some of the brightest yellow eyes he had ever seen. "Well, let's get started! Double battle is what we'll have, and so I chose these two joksters!" he said with a grin.
Jason stared at the two pokemon, having never seen them before. He quickly took out his pokedex and pointed it at them.
Chatot, the Normal/Flying type. It keeps its rythm by flicking its tail back and forth. It can also learn to speak a few human words. Attacks known: Sing, Aerial Ace, Heat Wave.
As if to prove this point, both Chatot's sang, "Battle! Battle!"
Jason grinned. "If you insist. Go Totodile and Heracross!"
With a burst of white light, the crocodile and large bug appeared called out their battle cries of "Toto!" and "Hera!"
"Alright, Totodile use Water Gun! Heracross, use Horn Attack!" Jason ordered quickly.
"Ha! Both of you nice little birdies use Aerial Ace!" Seven ordered.
Both chose their own Chatot, but as Totodile blasted its water attack, it did hit the Chatot, making it weaker, but it gained momentum mid air and hit Totodile right in the side with its talons, causing the small water type to wince from pain. Heracross and the other Chatot hit midair, horn against talon, causing them both pain on equal grounds as Heracross was so powerful and Chatot was fighting up against a bug and fighting combo, making flying attacks super effective.
"Totodile, Heracross, both of you attack one Chatot and hit it at the same time!"
They nodded and both sped towards the flying Chatot on the right, bodies glowing with power.
"Now none of that, both of you attack with Aerial Ace again," Seven said eagerly.
Totodile's body was glowing with its Rage attack, and upon it's arrival of Chatot, it proceeded to beat the helpless bird with its fists and teeth, a furious anger in its eyes that somehow made Jason shiver as it snarled furiously. "Tile!" Totodile screamed, punching the pokemon one last time to give Heracross a chance.
Heracross attempted to use its Horn Attack on the hurt Chatot, but the other one came to its aid, ramming Heracross right in the chest with its Aerial Ace and sending it skidding backwards, but not too far thanks to the sharp claw on its foot. "Hera," Heracross winced, managing to swing its horn forward and mircauliously hitting the retreating Chatot. "Cres," Heracross said with determination, though still weakly from the harsh attack.
"Alright, I think this is enough," Seven said patiently. "Both of you, go on both of their sides and finish with Heat Wave!"
Jason blanced. "Heracross, quick, use Endure!" Heracross glowed red for a moment. "Good, now pick Totodile up and begin spinning around while Totodile uses Water Gun!"
Blinking in shock at the command, Heracross quickly picked up the small gator and began to spin, just as the Chatot's got to their position and sent out the monstrous fire attack. Taking a deep breath as he was spun, Totodile unleashed his Water Gun, praying that Jason's plan worked.
And it did. As the water was shot out at all sides, creating a churning whirlpool around the room, it hit the Heat Wave dead on, creating a small explosion that hurt all the pokemon.
"Hera," Heracross breathed, grinning at Totodile as he put the gator down.
"Tild!" Totodile said happily, flashing the giant bug a thumbs up.
"Chatot, get up and use Aerial Ace!" Seven called loudly at the beaten birds.
Weakly, they both got up, flapping their wings awkwardly as they tried to dive at the two pokemon. Jason grinned as he saw the weak attack.
"Alright you guys, finish it!"
"Heraco!" Heracross said eagerly, flying at one Chatot with it's Horn Attack.
"Tildo!" Totodile cried with just as much eagerness, running at the other Chatot as its fingers glowed slightly with its Scratch attack.
As one, all four pokemon attacked at once in midair, a serious tension going through the air as they all wanted to desperately win. But the thing was, both Chatot's were simple guards, and Heracross and Totodile wanted to get to the top to discover the secret, and thus their determination was much stronger.
"Cross!" Heracross screamed, horn jabbing into Chatot's side with his furious cry,
"Dile!" Totodile screamed, small claws Scratching furiously on the other Chatot's face with a snarl.
As one, both Chatot's fell to the ground, one right after the other and right on top of each other. "Cha," one began, "Tot," the other said as they both fell unconcious with silly grins on their beaks.
Jason sighed in relief as his two pokemon high fived each other. "That was great, you guys," he said, walking up to the two of them and patting them on the backs.
Seven returned his pokemon, chuckling as he did so. "Good battle!" he said happily. "You've made my day, especially since its been so boring!" To Jason's shock, Seven actually ruffled his hair in congragulations. Jason wasn't so sure what to make of this criminal having a warm spot for him.
"Let me ask you something," Jason said. "You could have won if you used Sing. Why didn't you?"
Seven scowled, the first emotion other than happiness that had appeared on his face. "Sing? A little pansy and girl move? No way. The only people who put another's pokemon to sleep is because their own pokemon isn't strong enough to handle it while it's awake. Poisoned and Paralyzed... well, that's ok since the pokemon can still attack." Seven chuckled again. "Well, you best go on up to the last level, but good luck. The boss is up there."
Not sure what to make of this boss, Jason recalled his Totodile before taking out the TM he had found earlier. "Here, Heracross. You're a fighting type and deserve a fighting move," he said. "You might need it, because a boss is always the most powerful of a gang."
"Herc," Heracross said in thanks as Jason put it in front of his eyes. A beam of light shot towards Heracross's eyes, making it blink in confusion before it smirked. The data had been transferred into its brain.
Jason grinned. "Thanks, buddy. Return." And with that he ran up the stairs, not once hearing Seven chuckle in amusement as he watched him go...
