"So, a cave rat coming here, huh?"
Jason groaned as the next person he met said this. "Really, do all you Team Unknown people have the same brain? That's what your partner said earlier!"
The man's face darkenes. "Enough words. Let's battle. Go!"
Jason rolled his eyes. The man was too blunt to be normal. Did these people even have an education? Deciding to ponder on this another time, he watched as the two pokemon appeared in front of him. They were both Eevee, and they both gave a high squeak as they appeared. "Alright, go Lucario, and go Elekid!"
With a burst of white light, Elekid appeared right beside Lucario. "Ele," she said as they both took fighting positions.
The grunt smirked. "Eevee, Helping Hand," he commanded.
"Ve! Ve!" the two cried happily as they both started cheering for one another, even going so far as to bump heads with one another. Jason had never seen the attack before, but for some reason, the two looked stronger.
"Good, now use Tackle!" the grunt commanded, looking as if he had a plan that work no matter what.
"Don't let them!" Jason shouted. "Force Palm and Thunder Punch!" he commanded.
"Luu!" Lucario howled as it ran forward, his hand crackling with small sparks.
"Ele!" Elekid barked as she too ran forward, he own hand sparking but at a much higher levek as it was full of electricity.
Fists faced forward, the two aimed their fists right at the two Eevee who were right infront of them. With a smirk from the two fox pokemon, they both disappeared, earning loud gasps from Jason and his pokemon. The Eevee quickly reappeared right by Elekid's and Lucario's side, quickly butting them in the sides.
"Ca," Lucario spat as he was pushed forward. He took a quick swipe at where Eevee had stood, but the normal type was gone.
"Id," Elekid grunted, quickly sending a Thundershock at her own Eevee, but it too was gone.
The grunt laughed loudly. "Helping Hand is a very special attack that boosts the power and wariness of a pokemon," he boasted. "Now, use Tackle again!"
Jason grinned. "Helping Hand may be nice, but I have an attack that never misses! Aura Sphere!"
"Cario!" Lucario roared as he powered up the attack and shot it towards the two charging pokemon. The sphere exploded right infront of them, sending them skidding bakwards.
"Now's our chance! Thunder Punch!"
"Helping Hand!" the grunt barked.
"Ve! Ve!" the two pokemon cheered, looking like they were being pumped up. Just as soon as the two were surrounded in light, and looking as if they felt slightly better, Elekid landed her electrical punch right on the Eevee to the right, thoroughly electrocuting it. "Veeev!"
The Eevee on the left growled angrily as it watched its friend get hurt right in front of it. "Ve!" it cried, quickly butting its powered up body into Elekid and making her go skidding back.
"My power continually grows thanks to this attack," the grunt ontinued to boast. "Tackle!"
"Car," Lucario said as he helped a breathless Elekid get up. She gave him a quick smile of thanks before they turned their attention on the two Eevee. "Ca," Luario said, pointing at one of the Eevee.
"E!" Elekid said happily, noticing as well.
"Good, its been paralyzed!" Jason said happily, thinking it must have been Elekid's static ability. "Attack only the charging one with Force Palm and Thunder Punch!"
The two pokemon smirked at each other and ran forward, fists crackling with energy as they came up on the lone Eevee. "Vee," it growled, determined not to show any weakness as it charged recklessly in.
"Helping Hand!" the grunt barked at the flinching Eevee that stayed behind.
"Vee," it grimaced, trying to power up its partner with its voice, but as it couldn't move, nothing happened. It could only look on it fear as its friend was pounded on both sides by the two larger pokemon. "Veee!" it shouted out as its friend tumbled head over heels away from the two, shaking horribly as the two stood over them. "Ve! Ve!" it said, trying to power up its friend.
The grunt grimaced as he took in the sight of them. "Helping Hand!" he barked.
Jason let out a laugh. "You rely too much on that. Helping Hand is good, yes, but when one of your pokemon has a status problem, it doesn't work so well anymore, does it?" The man glared. Jason turned to look at the two pokemon that were shakily standing. Eevee's had such a ridiculiously defense that it was almost sad. Not to mention he had a fighting type that could cause super effective attacks to them. "Aura Sphere!" he commanded.
"Luc!" Lucario barked as he powered up the blue sphere and shot it forward.
"Helping Hand!" the grunt snarled. "Make each other stronger!"
"Ve... Ve..." the two pokemon panted, throwing desperate glances at their trainer. Couldn't he see that Helping Hand only gave them energy in spirit, not a healthy body? They could only scream as the blue sphere exploded right in front of them, throwing them in seperate directions. "Vee!"
"No! This will not end! Tackle!" the grunt roared.
"It's over," Jason said coldly as the two pokemon staggered towards them. "Finish it with Thunder Punch and Zen Headbutt," he ordered.
"Ele!" Elekid cried, running forward as she pumped her arms in a circle, releasing a Thundershock as soon as she was pumped up with energy. The attack hit, but to her surprise, while the Eevee screamed in pain, it still managed to throw its body at Elekid's, Tackling her back. "Ki!" Elekid grunted as she skidded across the ground. Sitting up with a wince, she let out a deep breath as she saw the Eevee was unconcious.
"Lu! Lu!" Lucario barked as Eevee kept trying to Tackle it. The blye coyote kept dodging by jumping over the smaller pokemon.
"Stop fooling around and finish it!" Jason called to his pokemon. He shook his head. Sometimes his pokemon cared more about himulating the opponent instead of simply finishing them off.
"Aario!" Lucario called back as it waved a black paw in the air. Looking down at the Eevee as it jumped in the air, Lucario slammed its head down right on Eevee's, his head surrounded with a purple glow.
"Vee..." Eevee groaned as the psychic attack tore at its mind and body. It collapsed in a pile at Lucario's feet, its body twitching occasionally.
"Good job," Jason congragulated his two pokemon who returned to his side, looking a little tired. He turned to the grunt. He had his head lowered. He gestured that he would do nothing. After all, he had no pokemon, what could he do? Returning his pokemon, Jason rushed deeper into the cave.
"So... you're the problem," a new voice said slyly as Jason neared some water. He jumped as he saw a woman with long, red hair. She had a much neater uniform, showing she was of higher rank. "I think its time to get rid of the problem... Go, Yanma!" With a burst of white light, Jason's opposng pokemon appeared.
He looked at his pokeballs, noticing that the new Spoink he had recieved was bouncing up and down in its ball, giving him eager looks. "Are you sure?" he asked the psychic pig. "These are some strong guys here." The Spoink gave him another nod. Not wanting to let the pokemon down, he threw his pokeball, getting prepared to do battle...
