9 THE UNDERGROUND ARENA CONTEST

Next morning , We headed to Platehead Town which is just close distance in Pewter City. Platehead Town has no Gym so we decided to go there for visit and to catch pokemon .

It takes 20 minutes of walk when we finally reach the town, we recognized that all houses here are made of rock like igloos . There are many trainers here came to catch rock type pokemon and to trade theirs.

As we walk by near the 3rd block , we were approach by a man offering something to us.

" Are you trainers ? , You want to have a trip to Hoenn Region ?"

" Yes were trainers . " I said.

" Oh , what ?? can you repeat what you said ?" Hiennrich asked.

" I'm offering a two ticket for Hoenn Region . " and then showed a plane ticket to Hoenn Region.

" Are these Legit tickets ?? " I asked Quietly.

" Yes." the stranger said.

" How much will pay for this ? " Hiennrich asked.

" Its free , But there's an exchange ."

I wonder what will be the exchange he said , I don't think that it will be good so I told Hiennrich to leave him .

" Bro , It might be dangerous to accept his offer ." I whispered at him.

" Relaxed let's asked for more of its dangerous we'll go ahead ". Hiennrich whispered.

" What now ? Are you Interested ??" the stranger said.

" What is the condition ?? " Hiennrich said bravely.

" You must defeat the owner of this tickets in a pokemon battle ." The stranger added.

" Who is that ?? and where is he ?? " I asked .

" Follow me and I'll get you there ."

We follow the stranger to the quiet road and take us to a dark place , we can't see what's in our way the only guide is the light we had been following .

And then a few minutes we reach the ..

An arena ?? This is what he saying ??

" This is a Underground Arena ! " I said .

" Indeed ."

I saw that the Arena is a masked man who is currently fighting a trainer . he is using a ghost type pokemon, A Dusknoir facing a trainer's pokemon Sandslash .

Dusknoir is a primarily black Pokémon somewhat resembling a cyclops. Its cylindrical head is light gray with a single eye that has a yellow iris and a red pupil. There is a yellow band near the top of its head, and a short, yellow antenna with a disc-shaped tip extends from on top. Six flat projections extend from the base of its neck and surround its head, resembling an upturned collar. Dusknoir has well-developed arms with two yellow bands near its wrists and large, gray hands. On the front of its torso are two almond-shaped marking, and on its back are two circular markings. Both sets of markings resemble eyes. A yellow band encircles its body, zigzagging along the front and forming a long curve around the back. It has a wispy tail in place of feet.

The antenna on Dusknoir's head allows it to receive transmissions from the spirit world, which tell it to bring people there. However, It has also shown it protecting people from being taken to the spirit world. The band on its body can open, similar to a mouth. It uses this ability to take spirits into its body and carry them home or as it travels to unknown places.

That masked man easily won the match , its Dusknoir was dominating since the fight started. Its movements was truly Incredible that the enemy pokemon can't even lay a hand on it. I am starting to like this pokemon maybe someday I will catch a Duskull and trained it hard to turn it into this Dusknoir .

" Hey , Bro ! come here ! ."

Hiennrich called me so loud that some other spectator look at me , I feel little bit embarrass and so I hurriedly run unto them . The stranger lead us to a function room where we meet some challenger , all of them wants to win and get the prize .

The event crew give us a paper and told us to fill it up in order to register for the battle . Hiennrich immediately fill it up so that he'll fight first before me .. He's totally excited to get the prize but I really don't want to fight in this kind of Pokemon Battle System .

Hienrrich approach me and force me to fill it up but I refuse because it may result some consequence after we had this fight . I hesitated a lot of times to fill it out , and until Hiennrich turn to fight begun . So I just left it blank and watch Hiennrich's fight first .

"Another challenger has come , Its Hiennrich from Pallet Town who will faced our Game Master Aizen . This battle is a one on one pokemon battle the one left standing will be the winner. Let the battle begin ! " The announcer said and after that scream as the match has started.

" Which pokemon you choose ?" the GM said .

" I'll use this one ! " Hiennrich threw the pokeball and summons his pokemon. " Let's do it , Ghastly !"

Ghaaaahh .. Ghastly..

" Nice pick ." GM said. " Come out now Heracross !"

Heraaaa.. Heracross...

Heracross is a bipedal, beetle-like Pokémon covered in a blue exoskeleton. There is a long, pronged horn on its forehead. The horn ends in a cross on the male and a heart-shape in the female. On either side of the horn is a short antenna with a spherical tip. Heracross has oval, yellow eyes. Its forearms have a pair of spikes near the wrists, while its thighs have a single spike each. It has two claws on its hands, and a single long claw on each foot. There is a single pair of wings covered by its carapace, which can been seen during its release from a Poké Ball in the 3D games.

Mega Heracross is bulkier than its previous form. Thin orange markings now rim its head, hands, and shoulders. Additionally, there is a half-circle, orange marking over its eyes. It now has a long, pointed nose that curves slightly upward. Its back now lacks wings and is completely yellow. The horn on its head has grown into a large, simple spike with two smaller spikes on the front. The antennae have lengthened as well, and now have ovoid tips. Mega Heracross's forearms have thickened and lost their spines. This Pokémon has a high body temperature, so it opens the shells of its arms and torso to allow heat to escape. Mega Heracross boasts such incredible strength that it can lift objects up to 500 times its own weight between its horns. However, it is left with muscular soreness after reverting to its original form.

Heracross's claws allow it to dig into the ground for sturdy footing or climb trees. Using its horn, it throws opponents or competitors for food. It can lift and throw objects 100 times its own weight. It lives in forests, where it feeds on tree sap. Heracross has been known to compete with Pokémon such as Pinsir for food. The same episode also shows Heracross allowing Butterfree to feed on tree sap after Heracross has finished its meal. In addition, it is shown to suck sap from Grass-type Pokémon such as Bulbasaur. In Alola, it has a rivalry with Vikavolt, but get along with Pinsir well, sharing a common enemy.

" Wow !! a Heracross ! " Hiennrich said while still mezmerized with seeing a Heracross .

" I guess you want a Heracross ?? "

" I want it really bad ." Hiennrich demanded.

" What's the matter with the Heracross ??"

" Heracross are one of the most important pokemon in our Family , even my ancestors had their own Heracross as a pokemon , in short , We are Great Family of Heracross Trainers ." Hiennrich added.

" Ahh , I see well if you want a Heracross you must win over me to have a trip in hoenn to catch your own Heracross". Aizen Said.

" Well then , I promised I'll defeat you ! Ghastly start attacking with Sucker Punch !! "

Ghaaaahh ..

" Heracross dodge it . Fly and use Horn Drill !"

Heerraaa ..

" Ghastly dodge it by make yourself in ghost form ."

" What a nice tactic ! "I said out of nowhere.

" Smart kid huh !! " Aizen said silently.

" Heracross use Psychic ! "

" What ?! " Hiennrich was shocked that Heracross can do Psychic and now was worried about Ghastly condition.

" Heracross slammed it !! " Aizen Ordered its pokemon.

Ghastly just slammed on the ground many times , Many spectator now knew what's gonna happen and that is Aizen wins again.

" No ! Ghastly ! ." Hiennrich scream worriedly.

Ghaaaahh..

" You can do it ! Overcome it !! " He screamed.

Ghaaaahh... ssstttly.... ( Ghastly scream so loud)

Then a bright light emerge to Ghastly which means only its is evolving , a seconds later it turn into a Haunter .

Hauu... Haunnnteerrr...

Haunter .

" Nice !! " Hiennrich gladly said.

" Let's fight back Haunter !"

Haunnn .. terrrr..

" Use Dream Eater ! "

Haunnn....

" No Heracross !! " Aizen said

Heracross is fast asleep and Haunter is just attacking it from inside its mind . The effects of the attack can be seen in Heracross.

" Finish it now with Shadow Ball ."

Haunnnteerrr ...

Haunter launches a circular shadow beam that hits Heracross and slammed it to the ground a dust explosion appeared which reveal that Heracross was fainted.

" We have the third lucky winner !! " announcer screamed.

Hiennrich raised his fist through the air claiming his victory against the GM.

" Yes !" Hiennrich said .

" Well done kid , You defeated me ." Aizen said

They shake their hands and bow to each other just like what is done in Normal Pokemon Battles . Hiennrich stared at his new pokemon and smiled as wide as its new Haunter.

" You did a great job Haunter "

Haunnnteerrr ..

The match official gave the prize of Hiennrich and raised his right hand . He waved his hand which is holding the prize. He looked at me and tell me that I grab the match .

After the match , we headed to the function hall and I finalize to fill up the Registration form for the match. Before my battle starts we watched the matches held first before mine , with that 4 matches he had no one beat him.

And my match has finally begun , The announcer called my name ..

" The next match will be BJ from Noxlas Lake Town versus our Game Master Aizen. This is a one on one pokemon battle , One who left standing will be the winner so without further do let's start the match ."

I choose what pokemon I'll be calling in this one on one battle and I came up with choosing Growlithe.

" Come on out , Growlithe!"

Grooww .. lithe ..

" A fire type pokemon ?? , Then I guess I'll use this one ."

" Let's do it , Croconaw !"

Croocoonaw ...

Croconaw is a medium-sized, bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon with a blue and yellow body. Croconaw has three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on its head like a crest, one with two points on its back, and a diamond-shaped spike on its tail. Black markings surround its red eyes. Its lower jaw is yellow and pronounced, and its chest has an asymmetrical, yellow pattern resembling a spotted animal skin. Although Croconaw has been described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible with four visible when the mouth is closed. It is capable of regrowing lost fangs. Its teeth are positioned like barbed fishing hooks and are impossible to pull out with ordinary strength. Croconaw can rarely be found near water.

I am on a sudden death situation because Growlithe is a fire type pokemon and its opponent is a water type pokemon it might is dangerous to take a risk , Growlithe might suffer serious injury after this fight or even the worst one .

If a fire type pokemon will faced a water type , the water type has the greater advantage . Fire types will be suffering serious Illness after the fight even they win. Fire types Fire core will be Cool down and this could be dangerous for fire type . The symptoms were Pale skin color, Loss of weight, Loss of appetite , discoloration of eyes . There are ways to prevent the Illness , to give the fire type a Lava Stone Exposure . Since Lava Stone is very rare stone and it is very expensive in the market many cases results from death .

I called Growlithe and asked it if it is willing to fight against all the odds.
