OOC: Aura Sphere seems to miss in the show, so I thought I would add that. Honestly, I don't see why a pokemon can't jump over it unless it immediately goes after the pokemon like a heat sensor or something...
It was a strange pokemon that appeared, and it was nothing he had ever seen. Quickly, he pulled out his pokedex to see what it was.
"image removed" Yanmega (shiny), the bug/flying pokemon. By churning its wings, it creates shock waves that inflict critical damage to foes.
"Dang," Jason muttered, unable to believe he was looking at a rare shiny.
"Yanmega, use Ancient Power!" Falkner ordere quickly.
Jason blanched, not ready. "Totodile, use Water Gun!"
"Tot!" Totodile cried, unleashing the blast of water.
"Yaa!" Yanmega called, dodging the attack and unleashed the blast of sharp rocks. First its eyes glowed, and then sharpened rocks appeared from the ground and bashed into Totodile, blasting the poor gator back.
"Diiil!" Totodile screamed, landing a bit awkwardly and looking dead beat.
"Take a rest, Totodile," Jason ordered, nodding to his side by Lucario.
"Dile!" Totodile agreed, eyes widening in curiosity as it stared at Lucario for the first time. "Dile?"
"Later," Jason murmered as the gator poked Lucario in side curiously. "Go, Heracross!" he called.
With a burst of white light, the great bug appeared. "Hera!" Heracross called, slashing his horn about in the air. It turned toward Yanmega, and suddenly the air filled with an angry buzzing as the two eyed each other up and down.
"Yanmega, Silver Wind," Falkner ordered.
"Yaa!" Pumping its dragonfly wings quickly, it unleashed a blast of a silvery substance toward Heracross.
"Dodge it," Jason ordered.
"Cross," Heracross spat, looking incredulious at the command. It could take this attack! "Hera!" Opening its shell to uncover its wings, Heracross pumped the tiny wings quickly, picking up the air current and destroying the incoming bug attack with ease, smirking at Yanmega the whole time.
Falkner gave a small smile. "It seems that your pokemon often do no listen to your commands," he commented softly.
Jason scowled. "Heracross, Aerial Ace!"
Nodding, Heracross charged, whole body glowing as it attacked with the flying attack. "Herr!" Slashing angrily at Yanmega, it sent the giant pokemon back in the air, but it easily got back into place. It was obviously well trained.
"Close up Night Slash," Falkner commanded.
"Yaan!" Yanmega cried, many arms glowing a sickly black color as it charge at Heracross, intent on swiping the giant beetle.
"Heracross, hit it back with Horn Attack!"
"Cross!" the bug type called, charging with a horn a glow. "Heeer!" The horn bashed into the glowing claws, and soon it became a fight of pure strength.
"Yaa," Yanmega growled lowly, swiping Heracross in the gut with one of its many legs. "Mee!"
"Cross!" Heracross roared, using Yanmega's distraction to bash its claw into Yanmega's side in a messed up version of Mega Punch. It was amusing, but just ended up acting as a Scratch attack as it left little marks.
The two lfew back a bit warily.
Jason grinned at the gym leader. "That dark type attack won't do much against Heracross being both a bug and fighting type," he mocked.
"Sonicboom," Falkner ordered.
"Cro!" Heracross was pushed back by the wind slash and rubbed his arm carefully from the impact.
"Never give your opponent an opening to attack," Falkner told him.
"Alright, well here's a taste of your own advice! Heracross, Focus Punch!"
"Crooos!" Heracross called, arm glowing with power. Grinng up at Yanmega, it leapt, intent on bashing its head into the ground.
Falkner looked on a bit carelessly. "Protect," he said simply.
"Meg," Yanmega said with a simple gri, erecting a powerful blue shield around itself.
"Croos!" Heracross yelled, bringing down his fist on the shield, gritting his teeth as nothing happened.
"Yanmega, Ancient Power," Falkner ordered.
"Dodge!" Jason yelled.
"Yaa!" The sharp rocks were flung at the retreating beetle, hitting the poor bug in the back.
"Heraco!" Heracross cried out in pain, lying on his stomach for a moment.
"Yanmega, finish it with Bug Bite," Falkner ordered.
"Heracross!" Jason yelled out in worry. "Protect yourself with Horn Attack!"
"Hera..." Heracross said weakly.
"Mega!" Yanmega called out in victory, mouth wide open, a green substance covering its teeth in a disgusting way. "Meee!"
At the last moment, Heracross raised his horn, stopping the giant bug in midair and leaving to dangle awkwardly in its horn. Smirking, Heracross slammed the shocked Yanmega into the ground, making it screech out in surprise.
"Cross," Heracross said boldly, getting back up and looking ready.
Jason grinned. "Good job, Heracross. Let's try another Focus Punch!"
"Cross!" Arm glowng with power, Heracross charged at the tired Yanmega.
"Yanmega, Protect," Falkner said simply.
"Megg," Yanmega said, erecting the blue shield once more.
"Heeeerrr!" Heracross roared in anger, pounding into the blue shield to no avail.
"Yanmega, Sonicboom!""
Blue shield disappearing, Yanmega pumped its speedy wings and sent the air slash at Heracross, striking it back. "Meeega," Yanmega taunted.
"Her!" Heracross cried out in pain.
"Heracross, pull yourself together and use another Focus Punch!" Jason ordered.
Nodding, Heracross charged, arm glowing with power.
"You never learn," Falkner said with a sigh. "Yanmega, Protect."
Jason smirked as the blue shield came to life, confusing the gym leader. "Fly over the shield but keep your focus!" he ordered.
Eyes lighting up in understanding, Heracross gave a hearty laugh and flew over Yanmega, arm still glowing with power.
Falkner grit his teeth as the Protect failed and disappeared. "Ancient Power!" he ordered quickly.
"Dodge and use that Focus Punch!" Jason yelled with excitement.
"Croo!" Heracross called eagerly, wings pumping quickly as it ducked and wove under the sharp rocks. Eyes narrowed, Heracross called out a, "Hera... Crosss!" before landing the incredibly strong punch on Yanmega, sending the poor bug type crashing into the ground and creating a small crator.
"Yanmega, Sonicboom!" Falkner ordered quickly.
"Mega! Mega!" Yanmega huffed out, completely wiped out.
jason laughed. "It's over, Falkner. Heracross, finish it with Aerial Ace!"
Nodding, Heracross charged, wincing as the Sonicboom crashed into its stomach, but otherwise ignored the pain, too eager to get this battle finished. "Heracroooosss!" he roared, swiping his body down on the fallen Yanmega.
"Yaaa!" Yanmega screamed, but shaking furiously in pain, wings pumping extra hard to keep it in the air. "Yan... mega," it said at last, falling to the ground.
Heracross stood over the fallen pokemon, but when it was clear that its opponent wasn't getting up, Heracross fell on his butt, completely wiped out. "Hera."
Jason cheered, running up to his pokemon and hugging the surprised pokemon hard around the middle. "You did it!" he cheered. "You were awsome!"
"Tototo!" Totodile cheered, hugging Heracross around the horn.
"Lucario," Lucario smirked, startling the giant beetle.
"Hera," Heracross said in wonder, smirking back and playfully nudging the pokemon.
"Cario," Lucario laughed, elbowing back as the two had their manly moment of play fighting.
"Congragulations," Falkner said, recalling his unconcious pokemon and walking up to Jason and his pokemon. "As proof of your win in the Violet City gym, I award you this TM: Aerial Ace, and the Zephyr Badge." He handed them over to an awed Jason.
Jason held the items in his hand. "Woah," he said as he and his pokemon stared at the items proudly. "Thanks!" he said energetically, shaking Falkner's hand.
Falkner laughed. "It is I who should be thanking you for that excellent battle. If your are still interested in gym battles, you should go down the next route, where you'll come across a cave, but first I suggest you look around town. There's Sprout Tower, and then we have some old ruines a bit aways."
"I'll look into it," Jason said, grinning up at the elder man. Getting up, he led his pokemon to the outside world. "Come on," he told them. "We've got to get you guys healed up before we go anywhere."
His pokemon heartily agreed as they limped toward the pokemon center.
