After a considerably bad start, Takuya is going to actually get this adventure rolling. While this may be little more then just 'filler' in a sense, it was enjoyable to write up, and I hope this is well-received.
- - - - - - -
The doors to the Pokemon center opened up, Eon sprinting out into the early morning sun. Jupiter chased shortly afterwards, followed by a quickly sprinting Takuya waving back at those inside the center as he left it. He glanced over his shoulder at the city's downtown area, a handful of skyscrapers attempting to grace the clouds with their presences while a crowd of small-to-medium sized buildings contained the area around the taller man-made works.
“I'll be back here...probably last, but I'll be back for God's sake.” The Gym Leader in Viridian was supposedly the first actual Pokemon champion, only for a day before being beaten by the still-missing current Champion Red.
Takuya ran his hand through his hair, taking care to avoid his handkerchief. He had it tied around his head, washed out and shielding the majority of a thick bandage from the elements, while also likely to keep the sweat out of his face. That aside, he looked no different.
“Hey, hey you! Yeah, you!”
Takuya turned to face a young kid, probably at the age of 9. “You look fresh, wanna battle?”
The blue-eyed teen smirked at the young boy, wearing a lime green backpack and a hat reminiscent of the Champion's. “Sure kid. I don't know what kind of change you'll have.”
“Hey, I've got 4 pokemon already!” The child held up all his fingers, then reached into his pockets, likely to grab one of them.
“Very well, you outnumber me.” He looked over his shoulder. “Eon! I choose you!”
The female Eevee skidded to a stop, before turning around and bounding toward the significantly older trainer. “Vee?”
“Get ready for your first official battle. But, before we do...” Takuya reached into his sack, grabbing his Go-Pro and turning it on. “How much money are you wagering on this battle? I only play for money. Not trades or keeps.”
“I bet my Ratta will floor your Eevee! 500 pokedollars!”
“Deal. I can spare that money.” Takuya held the camera up to his face, as the young boy released his Ratta onto the playing field. “Lets duel!”
“Ratta, Quick Attack!”
“Eon, Dodge and counter with Sand-Attack!”
The small ratlike pokemon darted forward, ploughing into the brown-furred pokemon's side, barring it's jaws all the while. Eevee was launched into the air, but landed on all fours and kicked up a considerable amount of dust on the path into it's opponent’s face. The Ratta shook it's head several times, trying to clear it's eyes. “Eon, Follow up with a Tackle Attack!”
“Ratta, Tackle!”
The two Pokemon rushed toward each-other, but Eon had a slightly quicker reaction time and hit the opponent in the head, knocking it backwards with several flips.
“Get up close and Follow with a Tail Whip!”
“Ratta, avoid that and Hyper-Fang him.”
Eon's ran up and attempted to whip the rodent, but Ratta would have none of it and quickly bit into the furry white tip of the female's tail. A loud scream in pain, and Eon ran several paces before rolling rapidly on the ground, trying to knock the offender off. It eventually did work, the young boy's rodent jumped off and attempted to get back into a combative stance.
“Eon, Tail Whip, and follow it up with another Sand-Attack!”
“Ratta, Dodge and Hyper-Fang!”
Ratta rushed to the side, but Eon leapt to it's side, body turned perpendicular to the rushing opponent and struck it dead in the face with it's bushy tail. The impact stopped the Ratta almost dead in it's tracks, falling onto it's side and skidding several inches, eyes rolled in the back of it's head.
“Ratta, return!”
“That's 500 in my favor, and I'll bet 450 that Eon can take out your next Pokemon likewise!”
“Pidgey, Come out and do your thing!”
The bird-type was switched out for the purple pokemon, and in response in called out it's name, ready for the battle to begin.
“I've got this...” Takuya whispered to himself. “Eon! Sand-Attack, try to blind it!”
“Pidgey, get up high and counter that with a gust!”
Takuya's quadreped was faster at engaging the move, but by the time the dust would have reached the normal/flying type, letting it's attack land right on the Eevee. It stumbled backwards a bit, the blast wasn't terribly powerful, but considering the fact that the furred creature had already taken a beating from Ratta, the damage done definitely affected it.
“Pidgey, Quick Attack!”
“Tackle him just as he comes in Eon!”
Pidgey's descent was faster then either Takuya expected, but thankfully for him, Eon made the attack super-early, striking the flying type out of the air. While both took damage, Pidgey's head-first spiral into the ground likely was more damaging then Eon as he landed back on all fours once more.
“Ugh! Pidgey, Tackle him!”
“Eon, Sand-attack and Dodge! He won't see you!”
Eon began kicking up as much dirt and debris as he could, rolling to the side just afterwards. Unfortunately for him, Pidgey flew right through the sandstorm, and before she could dodge the attack, it hit her square in the face, knocking her a considerable distance backwards. She landed paws up, completely dazed and unable to fight back.
“Yeah! You got 'em Pidgey!”
“Her.”
The child raised an eyebrow. “Huh?”
“Eon's a female, regardless of how rarely you see female Eevee's in the wild. With that, you get 450 yen back. But I'll amp it up. 750 that my next Pokemon will take out both of your remaining ones!”
“Ha! No way that's happening!”
Takuya crossed his left hand's fingers, hoping to whatever god above that he could take advantage of his next pokemon with just a basic Thundershock and Charm. “Pichu, come out to battle!” His right hand tossed the ball into the air, spilling it's respective Pokemon onto the ground.
Pichu looked around in concern, unfamiliar with the setting. “Pichu, I don't know if you can understand me, but there is an opponent over there, and I need you to use Thundershock attack, quickly!”
“Oh wow! It's so tiny!”
Pidgey looked over it's shoulder at it's trainer, unsure about what to do as it's trainer's hesitation to react with a command left it stunned. Because of that, it didn't see the bolt of Thunder coming and striking it right in the chest, knocking it onto it's back and terminating it's round in the match.
“What!?”
“Your young, and your eagerness is stunted by your lack of knowledge. Eon already whittled Pidgey's health down a bit, and Flying types are super weak against Electric Attacks!”
The younger kid clenched his fist, then reached in and grabbed his next pokeball. “Taubsi, I choose you!” Another Pidgey came flying out, this one just a tick smaller then the other one.
The blue-eyed teen raised his own eyebrow for a second, then shrugged it off. “Pichu, use charm!”
The small mouse-type pokemon lowered the corners of it's mouth, water gathering in it's eyes. It's hands clapsed together infront of it's chest, and the creature fell to it's knees. Ready to break into tears.
“Taubsi, Don't Look!” The boy's second bird-type pokemon didn't respond. “PIDGEY! IT'S A TRAP!” Despite it's owners' shouts, Taubsi didn't react at all except to stare back.
“Pichu, drop the act and Thundershock him!”
Obediently, the small electric-type responded with a series of sparks arcing across it's back and face, culminating in a bolt of electricity that flew across the expanse and struck the hypmotized Pidgey square in the chest.
“Taubsi! No!”
“HA! It's Super-Effective! Especially against Living Things! Now take a look at this! Pichu, Tail Whip her!”
While Pichu was a considerably slower runner in comparison to Eevee or Ratta, the other Pidgey wasn't going anywhere, trying to recover from the attack AND still bewildered by the sudden change in tactics the enemy had made. This game the tiny mouse pokemon enough time to run up, and whip him hard across the head, knocking the bird-type onto it's back again.
“Spam it Pichu!” In a lower voice, he whispered to himself. “I don't want to spam the Thundershock. He'll flat out run out of energy and possibly damage himself.”
Pichu continued mindlessly slapping the sense out of the Pidgey, and in a short amount of time, the younger trainer recalled their pokemon in order to preserve it's safety. He mumbled to himself while putting the ball back in his pocket.
“That was too close. If your second Pidgey wasn't a female, I doubt Pichu would have had enough to overcome it. Anyways, Your next one?”
“Huh?”
“You said you had 4. I've seen three of them thus far.”
The kid shuffled his feet awkwardly. “...the last one is a Magicarp. I can't use it out of water.”
Takuya blinked a few times. “Very well. We'll end the match here then.” He ended the recording and turned off the Go-Pro, his footage caught and what would be a good starting amount earned. “Just remember, there are type advantages and disadvantages. That will come into play heavily as your journeys continue.”
“Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I'm still in school and I just like battling people! I'm going to be a manufacturer, just like my mom!”
“Ok...” Takuya wanted to cut the stalling, get the money, reheal Eon, and get set northward. “800 yen. Thank you.”
The young child groaned, digging into his pocket and forking over several bills. “It was enjoyable battling with you. In truth, this was my first trainer battle.” The teenager turned around, shouting out. “Jupiter! We’ll be off shortly!”
- - - - - -
“One on one?”
“I don't care what other Pokemon you have. I saw you just evolve your Spinarak, uncommon as they are here, into a Ariados.”
“What's the bet?”
“Considering that our types won't cancel each-other out, and that you've probably been on the road for a while, I'll deal...1500 yen.”
“Too high! Ariados isn't comfortable with is body yet. How about 1000 yen?”
“Someone is not confident. You realize if you win, you'd get a huge bonus.” The teen ran his hand through his hair. “Tell you what, 1200 yen, I won't go any lower.”
“I'll take you up on that! But...For an extra 300 yen, I'll bet that my Ariados can take out your Jolteon in 5 moves.”
“Very well. I'll do the opposite. I bet Jupiter can knock out your Ariados in 5 moves for 300 yen.”
The bug catch stepped back, the Ariados climbing off of his back and in-between the two combatants. “If neither of us beat the other in the first 5 moves, then it's just the 1200. Remember to pay it straight up to me, Doug!”
“Deal. Jupiter, you're up!” The Jolteon took his place in front of Takuya, pawing the ground in anticipation. The two humans and two Pokemon stared each-other down for what seemed like eternity when...
“Ariados, Poision-Sting!”
“Jupiter, Thunder-Shock!”
The two attacks launched simultaneously, and landed at the same time also. Jolteon stumbled backwards as the needle-like projectile was launched from the arachne Pokemon, while the red-themed Pokemon twitched and stumbled forward, dealing with the electric shock.
“I can't afford to let Jupiter take a poison shot like that again. If he does, he's likely to get infected and might as well be finished...” “Jupiter, rush it with a Tackle!”
“Ariados, counter with a String-Shot!”
The quadruped rushed toward it's opponent, and while he did take a face full of webbing, the amount it slowed him down was minimal as it still slammed head-and-shoulders-first into his opponent, sending his opponent back several feet.
“Ariados, Constrict him while he's still there!”
“Jupiter, Whip him!”
Jolteon's attack went out of the gate first, smacking his near foe with his rear feet before spinning back around. In kept the Ariados from countering. “Jupiter, hit him hard with a Thunder-Shock!
“Intimidate with the scary face Ariados!”
Ariados's attack went off first, even if it wasn't technically an attack at all. Rearing onto it's back legs, the front of the arachnid curved up, the head just a bit higher then the Jolteon's head. With a sinister gaze it looked down at the quadruped, opening it's jaws as wide as it could. In mid-charge, the Jolteon was distracted...and intimidated, stepping back as he did so.
“Don't let it get to you Jolteon! Do as I said and finish it off with Thunder-Shock!”
“Poison Sting him now!” The Ariados balled up, rolled forward, then struck it's opponent with it's tail, the stinger imbedded deep with it's collarbone.
“So close to the jugular...Jolteon, I keep telling you, Thunder-Shock him!”
The attack finally went off, just as powerful but considerably slower. Ariados stumbled backwards, trying to regain it's composure while's it's rival heaved, the poison certainly taking root in it's body this time and impairing it's sight and stability.
“Jupiter...Thundershock! Spam it!”
Jupiter proceeded to do just that, repeatedly charging up and striking the Ariados with it's high-intensity volts.
“Ariados, Constrict him!”
“Hold on Jupiter...You've got this, just hold on. Keep spamming!”
The arachnid pokemon wrapped itself around Jolteon's face and the front section of it's body, attempting to break it's focus and wear it down faster the poison was already doing. It became quite a mess, the quickly weakening Ariados loosing and regaining it's grip while a slowly-dimming aura around the Jolteon continued to disperse it's energy into the target.
“Hold out...Hold out...” Takuya had dropped the camera from his eye-level, although it was still pointing at the ongoing battle. His right fist clenched. “Come on! You've tackled worse interior threats then that poison!”
“Ariados, Keep it up! He's loosing it!”
Slowly, the arachnid rolled off, flatening itself onto the ground as it twitched uncontrollably. It's trainer rushed up as Takuya similarly ran up toward his own pokemon. “Jupiter, are you injured badly?” The electric-type turned it's head to look at it's trainer, only to collapse shortly afterward from the poison. He pulled out his pokeball, summoning the electric-type back inside of it to slow the poison's spread.
“Why...you've killed him!”
Takuya quickly looked over to the bug-catcher, rage in his eyes. Quickly assessing the situation, he attempted to resolve the situation as peacefully as possible. “He's not dead. Recall that arachnids curl up into a ball when they die. They're both going to be pretty messed up for some time, but he'll recover pretty fast. I can see him breathing through his legs right now.”
“Grrr.”
“Take this.” He tossed the bug-type trainer a berry. “It should help heal him a bit faster.”
“I know what fruit does!” The man angrily grumbled, reached into his pocket, and pulled out several bills, slamming them on the ground. “Here's your fucking money. Go drink yourself to death with it.”
“I'm underage. Thanks for the experience though.” Takuya came up, pocketed the money, and walked out.
“That's about all for the day. Eon and Pichu have had enough expierence for a day, and I don't have any poison cures.” The teenager waved his fingers in the air as he walked away from his recent battle ground. “I guess it's a good sum. I pulled in 4870 Yen, but I lost 3280. I got 1590 out of today, and that's not counting the ad revenue I might get from Saturday's raw video.”
He threw his arms behind his back, cracking his wrist joints as he laced his fingers together and pulled them. “Pewter City is a little less then a Klik away, I'll get there in no time. Restore the group, finding a suitable sleeping spot, and get some rest 'till the morning. Oh, and I need to think of a name for Pichu. I really don't condone the practice of addressing your Pokemon by their type.”
The male stopped suddenly, looking side to side. “Your talking to yourself again...”
