Jay finally arrived at Oak Town. Jay first headed to the Pokemon Center and healed his Pokemons. "OK, I'm going to the mart now." Jay got to the mart. "I want to buy 5 Pokeballs and a potion." said Jay to the seller. At last, he headed to the TM shop. Solarbeam for Grovyle and Volt Tackle for Pikachu.
"OK, finally, I'm going to The academy" After a long walk, Jay arrived to the academy, but he saw somebody in the battlefield...! "I-I must battle him!" said Jay to himself, so he ran towards the guy in the battlefield. Then, Jay said with a smile: "Hey, I'm Jay, wanna battle?" Jay said to the guy.
*************************
Nick was sitting atop a rock, enjoying the day while Charmander played in and around the various boulders, when a boy called out to him.
"Hey! My name is Jay! Wanna battle?" He said. Nick got down from his perch and approached Jay.
"Hello. I'm Nichola Derrin. You may call me Nick if you wish. As for battling, I think it would be a great experience for Charmander." Nick replied. He signaled for Charmander to come out from where he had hid once the boy showed up, and Charmander obeyed. Charmander slowly walked up to Nick, and hid futilly behind his leg. Nick smiled at this, and picked him up.
"Isn't that right, Charmander?" Nick asked the lizard Pokémon, who hesitantly nodded.
*************************
. Jay then said with a smile: "Haha. Cute Charmander you have! So? Let's start the battle?" Jay said to Nick.
"I'm gonna use my Gible I just caught." said Jay. He sent out Gible. Jay was so excited to start the battle. Nick is Jay's first rival in the academy. Or friend, right? :p. Jay then thought: Aww, what was Gible's move again? I can only remember Dragon Rage....
***********************
Nick grinned, and took his position on the far side of the field. Charmander hopped atop one of the rocks, ready for battle.
"Okay, um, use Slash!" Nick shouted. Charmander leapt at the Gible, and slashed at it's face.
"Alright, Jay, it's your move!" Nick shouted. He hoped that Charmander could win this one. That would be awesome!
Nick then snapped himself back into a serious battling composure, almost like he used to look when he was a good trainer.
*************************
Nick was ready. He send out his Charmander and his Charmander used Slash at Gible. Charmander slashed at Gible, it wasn't very effective sincse normal type moves aren't effective against Ground type Pokemons...
"OK Gible, use Dragon Rage!" Jay shouted. Gible used Dragon Rage on Nick's Charmander, and it succesfully hit the Charmander. Now is Nick's move. "Be careful, Gible!" Jay shouted to Gible.
*************************
Nick grimaced as the slightly powerful dragon type move slammed into Charmander. He winced when Charmander was pushed into a rock by the attack.
Okay, we can NOT
take another hit like that... Nick thought sadistically. He mentally went through all of the moves that Charmander knew, but none were super-effective against either Ground or Dragon types. Nick swore under his breath, but although he was sure there was no way of winning, he might as well give Jay a run for his money.
"Charmander, Flame Wheel!" He shouted. Charmander got up, and charged at the Gible at high speed, fire springing up around him. Charmander collided with the Ground and Dragon type, pushing it back.
*************************
Damn! OK, hold on Gible...! Jay thought...
"Gible, keep using Dragon Rage and try to dodge every move Charmander has! Then the Gible refused and used Sand Tomb.
Whoa...great Gible! If we keep like doing like that, then were gonna win! And if he knows how to use Sand Tomb...then he must know how to use Sandstorm! G-Great! Jay thought smiling. "OK Gible! Try to dodge his other move with Dragon Rage!" Jay shouted to Gible.
************************
Nick nodded as Charmander was trapped with Sand Tomb. It was a reasonably weak move, it would just continue over the next few minutes.
Nick nodded and said, "Charmander, use Ember!". The Charmander nodded, and fire sprung up around Gible, burning it. Nick grinned. He hadn't had this much fun battling for a long time!
*************************
Charmander used ember on Gible, causing him to burn. "Now, Gible! Sandstorm!" Jay shouted to his Gible. The sandstorm raged,raged more and more...it became a strong sandstorm!
Great! The sandstorm doesn't affect Gible! Gible's burned and Charmander is being hurt by the sandstorm. Wonder who will win? Heh...interesting battle! Jay thought.
*************************
Nick covered his eyes as a sandstorm kicked up in the battlefield. He tried to see Charmander, but could not.
"Bite! USE BITE!!!" Nick screamed into the sandstorm. He heard the crunch of teeth hitting skin, and a slight yelp from the Gible. He grimaced.
Not looking good... he though. This battle was taking a slow turn for the worse. Both the sandstorm and Sand Tomb would hurt Charmander, leaving him lacking the amount of energy to survive a strong hit.
*************************
Charmander used Bite. It's not very effective since Gible is a Ground type Pokemon. "GIBLE, Charmander can't see anything, now, use Dragon Rage again while Charmander is not seeing!!!!!" Jay shouted.
I think I've got this one. Jay thought. "Gible, try not to faint by your burn!" Jay shouted to Gible.
*************************
Nick heard a brief explosion, and saw a flash of blue light. Hopefully, if he could get one more hit in...
The sandstorm died down. Nick looked expectantly among the rocks for Charmander, but was dismayed to see that he had fainted.
"Alright! You won! It was a great battle!" Nick said to Jay as he emerged. He walked up to him, and held out his hand for a handshake.
"Here's to hoping it'll be a bit more even!" he said. He then saw something glowing, and turned to see...Charmander was evolving! Nick smiled, and walked over to him. The glowing stopped, and Charman-no, Charmeleon, got up, shaking itself off.
"Char," it said. Its voice was deeper, and it seemed stronger. His Pokedex beeped, and he opened it to find that Charmeleon was trying to learn Flamethrower! As he already had six moves, Nick decided to get rid of scratch.
"Haha! Yes! High five!" Nick said. Words could not encompass the amount of joy that he was feeling.
*************************
Jay won. It was a great battle. Jay was so happy that he finally found a rival in the academy. Not rival, but friend. "Ehh, Gible, come back before you faint too!" Jay said to Gible. Then Nick said: "Alright! You won! It was a great battle!". Jay then smiled and both Jay and Nick saw the Charmander glowing. Then Charmander stopped growling. No more Charmander because...Nick's Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon! Nick then looked at his Pokedex and the Pokedex said Charmeleon could learn Flamethrower. It has already six moves so he decided to get rid of Scratch. "Awesome! I hope my Gible someday evolves too! Garchomp...that would be awesome! Well, Nick, your a great trainer. Let's battle again someday! And don't forget to catch more Pokemon!" Jay said smiling to Nick.
