Pewter Gym (2)

...

Lan smirked "It's over"

BOOOOOM!!!

An intense explosion shook the arena.

Once the smoke cleared the trainers could see the battleground.

Geodude was lying face up with swirls in its eyes while Cyndaquill was hiding behind the last large boulder on the battlefield.

Lan smiled when he heard the Ref announce " Geodude is Unable to battle Cyndaqil wins the battle. Can the Gymleader please send out his next Pokemon."

The Ref was interrupted by a swirling mass of blue light that surrounded Cyndaquill.

Lan sighed ' I was going to keep him from evolving so that we could work on his fire control but I decided against it. He has been pushing himself ever since he had seen Magicarp evolve.

QUILLLIAVA! it roared while flaring the flams from its space near its tail and on its head.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Name: Quilava

Sex: Male

Age: 1 Year

Type: Fire

Status: Healthy

Evolution: 0%

Moves: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, Quick Attack, Flame Wheel, Double Team, and FlameThrower

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lan observed Quilava while glancing at the results of the scan. Looks like he is healthy his body is definitely bigger than the standard the Pokedex states. His body looks full of muscle especially his legs. I see Ember upgraded to Flamethrower and he learned FlameWheel that will help him out with his lacking physical attacks..

Lan "Nice battle Quilava you look awesome leave the rest to the others."

Quilava nodded as Lan returned him.

Brock was brought out of his stupor by this and threw out his next Pokemon.

Brock "Go GRAVELER"

Lan smiled and just tossed out his Pokeball.

Bulba! Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur sang to itself while swaying its body back and forth seeming to dance while it moved its vines like it was composing a song.

Bulbasaur abruptly stopped and looked around at the new environment then back at Lan who was shaking his head. It shrugged and seemingly skipped onto the battlefield where a huge boulder was waiting on it.

"Graveler Graveler" (I will Crush you bug)

"Bulba? Bulbasaur" (Bug? I am no bug but you are fat)

"Gav Gravvel" ( NO FAT ALL ROCK)

Bulbasaur waved its vine in a deprecating manner.

Their conversation was cut short by the Ref's "Let the next Battle begin!"

Bulbasaur smiled and immediately its demeanor changed to a serious one ready for the battle. While seeing this Lan nodded while thinking 'Bulbasaur is a pretty good trash-talker but he can learn a couple of things from me. Could that be considered a move?... I should ask the system but on the other hand, isn't that the same as <taunt>?'

While Lan's Internal Monolauge Lan was stoic on the outside while the battle commenced without commands.

Graveler immediately started throwing rocks and boulders using <Rock Throw> and <Rock Tomb>.

Bulbasaur nimbly responded by dodging some and slapping some of them with <Vine Whip>

Seeing its attacks fail and the smug face of Bulbasaur Graveler charged head-on with a full-powered Roll out drowning out its trainer's voice in the background.

Bulbasaur smirked and started to weave his two vines together quickly creating one thicker Vine. It smirked and swung its Vine with all that it could, colliding with his opponent.

Boom! Graveler was sent into the wall at the side of the stadium.

"Bulbasaur. Saur." (A Homerun Indeed)

Graveler fell out of the wall with swirls in its eyes.

Bulbasaur turned around and walked to his trainer who was silent just staring at the battle.

Bulbasaur put on his Puppy eyes as it wanted to battle again. Its opponent was not that tough.

Lan was brought out of his thoughts from Bulbasaur tugging at his pants with his vine and saw its Puppydog eyes. He then scanned the battlefield and saw the fainted Graveler. He sweatdropped a bit as he forgot the battle while he was lost in thoughts. He could feel his Pokemon's intentions and merely nodded.

Brock was gritting his teeth in anger. First he somehow lost to a fire pokemon that is weak to his rock and ground type and second, his other Pokemon just ignored his commands to be decimated by its opponent.

He then called out his most trusted starter who he uses on his main team. "Go ONIX"

Onix Roared once it got to the battlefield. It turned to Brock and saw the frustration in his eyes then turned to face its opponent vowing to battle with all it could.

Bulbasaur saw its next opponent and happily started to sing because he was very large and looked tough. while thinking 'Mom always said that there are strong Pokemon out here in the outside world. Now let us see just how strong they are'

Ref "3 2 1 .... Start"

Onix Roared and Immediately used <Dig> to tunnel under the field.

Bulbasaur was weary and looked around confused where he was going to be attacked.

Lan "Calm down feel the vibrations in the ground. It can only attack you from the ground now so just keep alert."

Bulbasaur nodded and kept vigilant.

Lan did the same and extended his senses around the battlefield trying to feel the minute changes. He felt a disturbance coming from directly behind Bulbasaur converging to the surface.

"Bulbasaur jump and use <Vinewhip> below you"

Boom!

Bulbasaur jumped but was hit by Onix mid-jump. It hit Onix causing some damage but it knew that he got the worse of the exchange. The two fought from a distance hurling attacks at each other. Bulbasaur with its <Vine Whip> and Onix's <Rock Throw>. Onix was slowly making its way to Bulbasaur.

Lan "Bulbasaur don't give in, maintain distance with everything you got."

It nodded and started to shoot leech seeds at the enclosing Onix. It looked at Onix with slight fear in its eyes when its mom's voice rang in his head ' USE THE FORCE LUKE....(JK)'

...

[Flashback, Hidden Forrest]

' ABSORB AND USE THE LIGHT TO HELP EMPOWER YOUR ATTACKS.

Young Bulbasaur nodded at Venasaur. He then saw his mother absorb light and send out a massive glowing razor leaf seemingly cutting through the air itself. The young Pokemon was shocked and tried to do the same but failed miserably.

WITH TIME YOUNG ONE. WITH TIME.

[Flashback end]

...

Bulbasaur smirk grew as he now kind of knew what his mother was saying then. He calmed down and felt the surroundings and the faint rays of sun it then gathered that energy into its bulb. Once he was about to lose control he released the energy how he was shown.

...

Lan could see Bulbasaur in a difficult situation but he could not help out and just place his confidence in his new addition.

Suddenly yellow specks of light condensed from the air and floated towards Bulbasaur's bulb.

Brock shouted "SOLARBEAM!!! ONIX BE CAREFUL!!"

Bulbasaur's bulb shone a little until he roared and sent out a very large leaf blade that had a faint glow to it. It cut through all the rocks in its path and collided with Onix sending it flying and causing a Loud scream from the large rock snake.

When the dust of the battle settled Bulbasaur could be seen knocked out. Its last attack drained all its energy. Onix was struggling in pain from the last attack and had a large gash in its body where it collided.

"Bulbasaur is unable to battle the battle goes to Gym Leader Brock. Challenger, please send out your next Pokemon."

Lan returned Bulbasaur "You finally learned RazorLeaf Congrats" and smiled he started to take a Pokeball from his waist when he heard.

"Stop this battle is over. Onix Return. I forfeit the battle he is too injured in this state"

Lan sighed 'Good trainer not making his Pokemon hurt more from this situation' "Thank you for a good battle. Your Onix is strong."

Brock laughed "I should be telling that to your team" he rubbed the back of his head. He gave Lan a badge and told him that the next gym closest would be Curelean city. Lan thanked him and was about to leave when Brock stopped him.

Brock "Can you tell me how you won the first match. It has been bugging me for a while."

Lan smiled but it was hidden behind his scarf that covered most of his face. (just not his ridge on the nose and above.)

"Dust Explosion"

He then turned to walk away but tossed a stone to Brock saying "Have your Onix eat this it will help him recover better. Just make sure you beat the new trainers from Pallet Town."

Brock was still stunned at the stone in his hand as it was rare and valued for rock trainers. It was a Hard Stone and if Onix ate it he would recover and his body would be able to be harder than before"

Before he looked up and wanted to thank the mysterious trainer whos eyes struck fear into him for the gift the trainer was gone. He didn't even hear his footsteps from earlier.

Brock "Gold Huh? Pallet Town?"

He heard snickering from behind him and caught the old Ref mutter "Bad Ass".
