Chapter 77: Unexpected
Gary returned his fire dog and did the courtesy handshake with Richy, who seemed way happier than he probably should have been, after Gary got away from the hyperactive child the screen shuffled through the battles.
Otoshi vs Brock
Brook looked up, "Well that's me, hey Ash you think I can win."
Ash shrugged, "Maybe but you're definitely at a disadvantage and we don't know anything about his team sooooo¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "
Brock walked over to the stage and was met with Otoshi on the other side, "I suppose this could be considered a rematch couldn't it."
"Yes, I guess it could since you battled me when I was still a gym leader, if I recall correctly I was your 2nd gym leader"
"3rd, I got one of the unofficial badges before you."
The announcer spoke up, "It seems these trainers have some history. Let's see what battle this grudge match will bring. On this side, we have the tough Brock, and on the other the righteous Otoshi, if both trainers are ready, get ready and battle!"
Brock sent out Graveler while Otoshi sent out Marowak.
Brock didn't have too many good choices for this battle, Marowak countered most of his Pokemon, Zubat would be the best to use in this situation but currently, he is not trained enough to validate Brock using him, currently, his best shot at beating Marowak was Kabutops, but he needed to weaken the Ground type first.
"Graveler Rollout," Brock commanded as his rock revved up and shot at the dinosaur.
"Deflect him then Bonemerang," Marowak held his bone like a sword and when the rock got close he did a quick slash pushing Graveler off Course, to follow up he threw the bone, the first one knocking him out of the ball and the second hitting him in the face before it flew back to Marowak.
"Now Double-Edge," Marowak slammed his bone into the ground then launched himself, getting covered in a light green aura then using that to slam into Graveler, dealing chip damage to himself.
"Graveler Earthquake," Graveler slams his arms into the ground making it begin to shake, though the boat is fine due to the specialized field. Still, it makes Marowak lose his footing and get hit.
"Now Stone Edge," without letting that opportunity go to wait a baroque of stones flew out from the ground aiming at Marowak.
"Parry them and let's end this with Bone Rush," Marowak used his bone to flip up and rushed forward and with his bone started hitting every rock that he could hit, a few took some chip onto him but he managed to deflect most of them as he approached Graveler and launched a furious combo that launched him out of the field and unable to battle.
Brock expected as much returning Graveler he pulled out a second Pokeball being Kabutops.
"Marowak Rock Smash," Marowak took the first move and charged his one as he ran to strike at the new fossil Pokemon.
"Parry with Aqua Cutter," Kabutops' scythes glowed blue as they clashed with the bone, they exchanged 2 strikes before Marowak attempted to use his size to get behind to strike, but Kabutops blocked that one with his other arm.
"Bone Club,"
"Liquidation,"
Marowak's bone began to glow white meanwhile Kabutops' blades extended with water, they both continued their clash striking multiple times and deflecting the other one until Kabutops let himself get hit to force the bone into the ground then with the other blade hit Marowak.
"Thunder Punch," instead of the traditional way of using it, Marowak lams his bone into his head then it starts igniting in yellow electricity, and then he jumps back into his clash, when the two clash the water in the claws conducts electricity making Kabutops take damage and dispelling the water.
"Don't give up now X-Scissor"
"The final clash, Bone Club"
Kabutops ran forward crossing his arms as they glowed Green, meanwhile, Marowak got into a stance with his bone and moved at impressive speeds to clash with Kabutops.
When they collided there was only 1 hit confirmed, Kabutops fell to one leg but Marowak fell over.
The announcer had to step in, "Unbelievable, Brock had drawn blood on the king in this entire tournament Otoshi has only sent out Marowak, and in every battle he would take minimal damage but now he is down." The crowd started cheering like it was the end of the match even though Otoshi had more Pokemon.
He returned Marowak and pulled out his second Pokemon, revealing it to be a Parasect.
Kabutops was tired but got back up to continue the battle.
"Parasect Leaf blade," Parasect's claw started glowing green as he moved in for a powerful strike, most Parasect are usually slow, but this one started skittering over to hit Kabutops.
However Kabutops was still faster even while tired, he got behind to slash, unfortunately, that was what Parasect wanted as he shot spores from the mushroom on the back, using Stun Spore to slow him down, that gave him the perfect shot so Parasect turned and delivered a powerful x4 grass slash, leaving him unable to battle.
Brock returned Kabutops and pulled out one final Pokemon, his Onix.
"Curse then Rock Tomb," Onix gets covered in a mysterious light that ups his defense and attack at the cost of his speed, making him slower than Parasect, but he still has time to launch boulders from the ground aiming at the Zombie Mushroom.
Parasect attempts to counter with a Seed Bomb but since Onix acted first Parasect could only get rid of a good few of the flying boulders still getting a direct hit from the rest.
"Leaf blade," Parasect recovered from the damage and ran forward trying to find a blindspot.
"Onix Slam," Onix attempts to use his big tail to hit the insect but it dodges and climbs on top slashing around the lower torso of the snake before jumping off and releasing a spore in hopes of paralysis.
Thankfully Onix managed to resist the spores and used his tail again to grab the Parasect.
"Parasect Bullet seed," as the bug was getting crushed it started spitting out seeds aimed into the face of the Rock type.
"Now Gyro Ball," Onix gets some blue circles surrounding his body then he starts spinning, striking at the Parasect, and since he is slower due to curse it deals extra damage.
Parasect getting tired, but Onix wasn't doing too well himself, so he just prepared another Leaf Blade. Onix saw this and prepared something on his own, his head becoming surrounded by a whitish-blue aura as he darted forward aiming a brutal Head Smash.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Parasect launched itself as well repairing its blade for a clash, and when they both connected with each other both Pokemon fell.
The announcer spoke up, "Double knockout, Brock is out of usable Pokemon, Otoshi still has one, therefore Otoshi is the winner."
The ground started cheering as Brock went up to Otoshi so they could give their thanks.
The screen started randomizing the next battle and since there were only 2 left the battle was
Yellow vs Green
Ash meanwhile had been walking around and saw Misty giving Yellow a pep talk before pushing her forward, Yellow took a deep breath and walked up the stairs.
Ash walked next to Misty to see her off, he gave her an encouraging smile and she got slightly embarrassed and ran to her side.
Meanwhile Misty looked at Ash, "So who do you think is going to win, you grew up with those two after all."
"I have an idea of how this could go but I'm not going to say it,"
Meanwhile, as soon as Yellow and Green stepped on each side of the field they saw each other.
"Hey, Yellow It's been a while hasn't it," Green said in a carefree tone.
"Oh hey Green, I guess it has been, it's funny how things turn out isn't it," Yellow said trying to sound casual but was nervous inside.
"Yeah, but sorry about this but I want to win soooo (ง'̀▾'́)ง"
"I'm not going to just give up. I got stronger so I'll show you just how strong I am."
The announcer finally stepped in, "It seems this is a battle between friends, but there can only be one victor so let's see what these two ladies have in store for us, 3,2,1 you may start."
Green sent out a Clefairy and Yellow sent out Ratty.
"Ratty Quick attack." Ratty dashes forward aiming to get early damage in the pink Pokemon, but Clefairy does a spin and manages to avoid it.
"Clefairy Disarming voice," Clefairy's mouth opens and from it purple pink energy is shot out like a song hitting Ratty and disorienting him.
"Double Slap now," Clefairy takes the opportunity to run up and give the rat a nice slap to the face twice.
"Ratty try Super Fang," Ratty looked at the pink ball that slapped him and ran forward into a jump, as he was falling his teeth grew in size and bit into Clefairy, halving his HP.
"Alright then if that's how you want to play it, Cosmic Power." Clefairy did a quick meditation and his defenses went up.
"Now Moonblast," Clefairy charges a pink orb in his hands and shoots it at the Rat
"Ratty dodge then Return," Ratty ran forward towards the approaching ball and jumped over it as it exploded behind him then when he got to Clefairy he unleashed a barrage of attacks, Return is based on how much the Pokemon likes the trainer, and Yellow's Pokemon really like her so they all do max power.
Clefairy took the hit and even with the upped defense still took heavy damage but was still up.
"Clefairy Gravity the Stored Power," Clefairy released energy that began exerting pressure, and then a purple beacon of power erupted out of him, aiming at Ratty.
Ratty was used to high gravity thanks to training with Ash's Clefairy but he still couldn't move normally, so Ratty tried to dodge it but still received damage from most of it.
"Let's finish this with Pound," Clefairy ran towards the big Rat Clefairy's arm started glowing as he slammed Ratty into the ground.
Yellow returned Ratty and looked at his ball, then she pulled out another Pokeball releasing Kitty.
Green whistled, "A shiny pretty nice, don't suppose you'll let me have it,"
Yellow looked surprised, "Uhh n-no Kitty was a gift, what we are battling, why are you asking that!?"
Green knocked her head and then got back into it, "Sing" Clefairy started playing a lullaby, but due to the abysmal 55%, it missed.
"Kitty Gust," Kitty flapped his wings and powerful winds stirred up and pulled Clefairy off his feet and into the ground.
"Now Psybeam," Kitty's eyes began to glow and Clefairy got enveloped in purple light and picked up to be slammed back down multiple times.
"Now Dazzling Gleam," Clefairy releases a rainbow-collared ball beginning to light the whole field and hitting Kitty.
"Kitty let's try Sliver wind," Kitty began shooting Silver crescents of energy each slamming into Clefairy until he eventually went down.
Green returned her Pink ball and pulled out a different one, "Not bad Yellow better than I thought but you better not count us out yet, Nidorina!"
The Blue poison type stepped up and got ready.
"Nidorina Sludge Bomb," Nidorina started shooting out brownish-purple gunk each aiming at the flying Pokemon.
"Kitty String shot then Psybeam," Kitty set up an intricate web around the field, most of the globs of gunk got stopped by the webs, and the rest managed to hit Kitty but he didn't let that stop him as he slashed more psychic energy and slamming into Nidorina.
Though Nidorina tanked it nicely, "Ice Beam," Nidorina started charging blue energy and started shooting out a beam of Ice. Kitty started dodging and using the webs from before to block the ice, but his left-wing still got hit at the very end.
Kitty was barely still up, he was probably only still able to fight because of the Adrenaline that was beginning to wear off.
"Kitty Electroweb," Kitty shot out a web that grabbed onto Nidorina and pulled her into the web getting her stuck, as Kitty started blanking out, he used everything he had left to shock the Poison type, and the room started lighting up, and by the end Kitty fell to the ground, and Nidorina was unresponsive with both having spirals in their eyes.
Meaning both of them had 1 Pokemon each.
