"So what do you think I can use this for?" Jason asked to Vaporeon as he tossed the Dusk Stone up and down as he walked down the pier with his loyal pokemon.
Vaporeon, whom was enjoying the water and was swimming leisurely with his tail kicking up water, glanced up at his trainer. "Va," Vaporeon yawned, not really caring.
Jason huffed. "Some help you are," he grumbled, pocketing the item and glancing up ahead as he finally settled onto land. For good measure he stretched, mentally congragulating himself for almost reaching a new city. "Woah, check that out!" he called to Vaporeon as the water type walked out of the water, body sleak and shiny. He pointed at an orange pokemon with two tails. It had just popped out of the water, body sleak and wet before it shook itself in a fury to rid itself of the dripping water. Curiously, Jason checked his pokedex.
Buizel, the jet pokemon. It spins its two tails like a screw to propel itself through water at high speeds.
"Sounds both fast and strong," Jason commented, putting the red device away. "Hey, Buizel!" he called to the pokemon. Catching the water type's attention, Buizel tilted its head to show that it was listening. "Wanna battle!?"
A smirk so similar to Jason's spread across Buizel's face. He gestured with a paw. "Bui!"
"Sweet! Get ready, Vaporeon!"
"Va!" Vaporeon barked, jumping in front of its fellow water type, but as soon as he did, Buizel snorted. Vaporeon's fur bristled as he was basically brushed aside.
Buizel was the one who decided to start the battle off. "Zell!" he roared, body becoming a quick blur of orange as it sped quickly towards Vaporeon. With a loud bark, Buizel smashed right into Vaporeon with its Quick Attack. "Buizel!"
"Por!" Vaporeon yelped, stumbling over his own feet as he was bashed backwards. "Va!" he snarled, attempting to swipe the speedy water type with his huge tail, but Buizel had already scuttled back in time.
"Vaporeon, Tackle!" Jason called to his pokemon, watching with interest as Buizel's tail began to glow.
"Po." Vaporeon gave a quick nod before he started charging, webbed ears curled down and head lowered.
"Zel," Buizel spat, spinning. To Jason's surprise, a blast of strong wind shot straight out his pokemon. Vaporeon yelped as the Sonicboom blasted into his head, faltering, but he still kept running.
"That's it!" Jason cheered for his pokemon. "Keep it up!"
"Vaporeo!" Vaporeon called, encouraged by his trainer's calls. Buizel gritted his teeth as his opponent kept charging. With a bellow, he began spinning once more, sending more and more blasts of Sonicbooms. "Por! Por! Por!" Vaporeon called as he dodged each blast. With a smug grin, Vaporeon performed one if his own spins and slammed his tail right into Buizel's gut.
"Zel!" the smaller pokemon gasped, tumbling back and clutching his stomach.
"Good one! Now, use another Tackle!" Jason commanded, pointing a finger at the snarling pokemon.
"Por!" Vaporeon preened, charging again, but Buizel was having none of that. With another bellow, he formed into a blur and blasted right into Vaporeon so that now this time it was Jason's pokemon that had the breath knocked out of it. "Pa!" Vaporeon gasped, staggering a bit from the Quick Attack.
"Bui!" Buizel smirked, tail lighting up once more for another Sonicboom.
Jason scowled. "Sand Attack!" he bellowed.
Eyes gleaming, Vaporeon all to eagerly swept his paw deep into the beach sand and blasted heaps of sand that must have just burned as it got right into Buizel's face and eyes. "Buuiz!" Buizel cried, shaking his head and swiping furiously at his face. Jason, for a moment, felt bad, but that was before Buizel started blasting Sonicboom's all over the place in an effort to make a blind hit.
"Vapro!" Vaporeon yelped, shuddering as one grazed his shoulder, but the water type was doing a great job dodging all the other offending attacks. Unable to take it anymore, Vaporeon slammed into Buizel with a good Tackle.
"Zel," Buizel moaned, sliding back a bit. His eyes were firmly shut before he opened his muzzle to the sky and unleashed several blasts of water, causing it to rain.
Jason blinked. Why on earth would Buizel use Water Sport? His answer was answered as the water fell onto Buizel's face, easily washing away the Sand Attack. To say Jason was impressed was an understatement. "Vaporeon, try another Sand Attack!"
"Zel," Buizel scoffed, taking a deep breath and blasting a Water Gun straight at Vaporeon. The blast of water went straight through the flinging sand and washed all over Vaporeon. "Zellb," Buizel exclaimed proudly, thinking he had finally won, but he could only blink in shock as Vaporeon began to glow.
"Vaap," Vaporeon moaned happily, feeling his health come back from that refreshing attack.
Jason, having no idea what was going on, pulled out his pokedex
. Water Absorb: The pokemon heals up to 1/4 of its maximum hit points when hit with a water type attack, it intoned.
"Nice," Jason commened, grinning widely at a nervous Buizel. "Vaporeon, you ready for this?" Vaporeon bobbed his head up and down eagerly. "That's just what I wanted to hear! Tackle!"
"Vaa!"
Buizel growled lowly and began spinning once more, sending out its Sonicboom attack. "Ze!"
Vaporeon grinned impishly as he dodged the attacks almost effortlessly thanks to that boost of strength. Buizel seemed to realize that it was too late and that he would continue to dodge each attack, but before Buizel even took a step back to get away, Vaporeon slammed his tail right across the other water type's side, sending it skidding toward the water. "Poreon!"
"Zee," Buizel groaned, staggering to his feet.
"Wow, its still up," Jason commented, blinking at the pokemon. "Vaporeon, try another... what?" Buizel was shaking his head and holding up a paw in defeat.
"Bui buizel bui," it panted, grinning at the two. It lowered its paw and took a deep breath, obviously worn out but pleased with the battle. "Zel," it said, nodding to both Vaporeon and Jason before padding into the water and offering a wave in return before disappearing altogether.
Jason waved back. "Thanks for the battle!" he called back.
"Preo pro!" Vaporeon barked, sitting down with a sigh, feeling extremely pleased with himself for that hard battle. A hand running down his head sent deep purrs rumbling in his throat.
"That was a great battle, Vaporeon," Jason congragulated. "Come on, let's get out of here."
