//------------------------------// // Battle for the Last Badge part 2 // Story: Luna's Pokémon Journey // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// It’s been two days since Lumi had her Pokémon battle against Juan and now it was Luna’s turn, both trainers was ready to battle. The boys and Lumi was on the stand to watch while Sebastian stood ready as the judge. “This battle between the gym leader and the challenger Luna Moon will now begging, each trainer will use five Pokémon each, for the first round they will use two of their five Pokémon in a double battle. The first round will be over when either the gym leader or the challengers Pokémon are no longer able to battle and for the second round they will use their remaining Pokémon, your second round will be a one on one battle and will be over when either trainers Pokémon are unable to battle, during the match only the challenger are allowed to witch her Pokémon.” “Are you ready for our battle Luna?” Juan asked her. “As ready as I can be.” She told him while picking her first two Pokémon she would use. Juan smiled. “Then let get this battle on the way, here is my two Pokémon.” He took out a Pokéball and threw it. “Come out Whiscash and Seaking.” Out came a Pokémon no one expected. Luna and the gang on the stand was surprised that of his chose. “Hey, why is he using Whiscash and not Sealeo?” Ace asked. “He’s trying to see how Luna can handle when he change his Pokémon.” James told him. “That means he will probably do it in my and Shadow’s match.” James just nodded. “That’s just great.” Ace groan as he look back at the battle stage. Luna was a little frustrated, she was hoping that Juan would use Sealeo. ‘Damn it, there goes my strategy out the window.’ She took out her Pokéball’s and threw them. “Come out Grovyle and Espeon.” Out came the wood gecko and sun Pokémon. When Espeon saw who her partner was she was surprised, she thought that her partner was her little brother Jolteon so why did Luna change it up? Espeon then took a look at their opponent and when she saw Whiscash she understood why, there was no way Jolteon’s attack would affect the whiskers Pokémon. She just had to accepted it. “You have the first move Luna.” Juan told Luna. “If you say so, Grovyle use bullet seed on Whiscash and Espeon use swift on Seaking.” Both of her Pokémon attack. Juan was as calm as ever. “Both of you dive.” Both his Pokémon disappeared under water and the attack missed, Luna couldn’t help but curse when that happened. “Whiscash, use mud bomb on Grovyle and Seaking use horn attack on Espeon.” Both Pokémon came to the surface, Whiscash shout out mud from its mouth while Seaking headed towards Espeon. “Dodge the attack Grovyle, Espeon use psychic to stop Seaking.” Grovyle jump away to avoid the attack while Espeon eyes started to glow and that stop Seaking dead in its track. “Send Seaking back to Whiscash.” Espeon did that and Seaking flew towards the whiskers Pokémon. “Dive under water Whiscash.” He did that and Seaking just landed in the water, not taking that much damaged. “Use hyper beam on Espeon.” Whiscash came right back up and fired a yellow beam from its mouth which headed towards the sun Pokémon, Luna and Espeon had no time to react and the sun Pokémon was hit hard, so hard that she was send flying out of the battle field and right into the wall behind Luna, Espeon landed on the ground unconscious. “Espeon is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. Everyone was in shock how powerful Whiscash was, especial Luna. For Lumi, it was déjà vu, she experienced how powerful the whiskers Pokémon was in her battle. Luna called back Espeon. ‘That didn’t work.’ She put away the Pokéball and took out a new one, she then threw it. “You’re up Ivysaur.” Out came the seed Pokémon ready for battle. Lumi, Ace and Shadow was surprised when they saw Luna’s second Pokémon. “I didn’t know that Luna had an Ivysaur.” Said Lumi. “Her Bulbasaur evolved a few week ago.” James told her. Back to the battle, Luna was ready to attack. “Grovyle, use leaf blade on Whiscash and Ivysaur use razor leaf on Seaking.” Grovyle’s leaves on his arms started to glow and then he leap towards Whiscash who could not move thanks to the effect of the hyper beam, Ivysaur send away leaf’s towards Seaking. As hard it was to admit it, Juan couldn’t do anything to help Whiscash, the whiskers Pokémon had to recover after that hyper beam. “Dive Seaking.” The goldfish Pokémon dived under water making that Ivysaur attack missed. While that happened, Grovyle was headed towards Whiscash who couldn’t move. Grovyle hit him so hard that Whiscash flew through the air and landed in front of its trainer, with starts in its eyes. “Whiscash is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. Juan called back Whiscash. “You did a good job, take a good rest.” He then look at battle field and saw that his odds was against him, if he tried to attack with Seaking then the goldfish Pokémon had to be on the surface, then Luna’s Pokémon could attack. He wasn’t sure what to do right now. While Juan was think of what to do, Luna knew what to do. “Grovyle, use leaf blade on the water.” That got Juan attention, he watch as Grovyle slashed the water which create an opening in the water which forced Seaking up in the air. “Use bullet seed and razor leaf.” Both of her Pokémon attack and there was nothing Juan could do as Seaking was bombarded with seeds and leaf’s. When it was over, Seaking landed in the water unconscious. “Seaking is unable to battle, the first battle goes to Luna.” Sebastian announced. Back with the rest, they were a little disappointed. “That’s it? The battle lasted almost as long as mine.” Said Lumi. They all agreed, it was short. But, as with Lumi’s battle, she isn’t done. When they had switch side, they got ready their next Pokémon. Juan was up first. “Here’s my first Pokémon, go Luvdisc.” Out came the rendezvous Pokémon which landed in the water. Then it was Luna’s turn, she took out her Pokéball and threw it. “You’re up Shelgon.” Out came the endurance Pokémon ready for battle. When James saw Luna’s choice, he was very confused. “What the…? That’s not right.” Everyone look at him. “What do you mean?” Shadow asked him. “She said she would use Skarmory, not Shelgon.” James answered hi. “Is that a problem?” Lumi asked. James place hand under his chin. “Maybe, maybe not. It’s been a while since she has used Shelgon, we just have to see how it’s goes.” They all look back at the battle. “Luvdisc, use water pulse.” She attack with a ball of water. “Meet that attack with zen headbutt.” Shelgon’s ‘head’ started to glow as the endurance pokemon started to run towards Luvdisc. Shelgon took the attack head on and it look like it did nothing, Shelgon kept on attack. “Move it Luvdisc.” The rendezvous Pokémon managed to dodge Shelgon attack. “Use attract.” Luvdisc send away a kiss which headed towards Shelgon. All of them could only watch as the kiss connected but nothing happened which confused them all. “What’s going on? Why doesn’t attract work?” Lumi asked. “There’s only one reason that attract didn’t work, Luna’s Shelgon is a girl.” Said James. Lumi and the boys shouted at the same time. “A GIRL?” Luna was also surprised, she had no idea that Shelgon as a girl. She couldn’t help but smile. “I guess one learn something new every day. Let’s keep on attacking Shelgon, use dragon breath.” Blue smoke came out from her mouth, Juan was still in shock, so he forgot to tell Luvdisc to dodge and the rendezvous Pokémon was hit, and the effect of dragon breath took effect, Luvdisc was paralysed. “Another zen headbutt.” Shelgon head started to glow again and she dashed towards Luvdisc who couldn’t move, Luvdisc was hit hard and send flying backwards. Luvdisc landed in the water unconscious. “Luvdisc is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. Luna pump her fist up. “Alright, two more to go.” Juan called back Luvdisc. “Good work, take a rest.” He got ready his next Pokémon. “It’s your turn Sealeo.” Out came the ball roll Pokémon which landed in the water. Right now, Luna was feeling confident. “Use zen headbutt.” Shelgon dashed forward again. That made Juan smile. “Bad move Luna, use ice beam.” A blue beam came out from Sealeo’s mouth which hit Shelgon hard, so hard that it create a small explosion. When the smoke cleared they all saw Shelgon lying there unconscious. “Shelgon is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. The gang was disappointed when they saw that. “Ah man, Luna got cocky.” Said Ace while placing a hand on his face. “It’s a common mistake, anyone can do it.” Said James. Back on to the battle, Luna called back Shelgon. ‘Idiot, I got cocky.’ She look at the Pokéball. “I am not making that mistake again.” She put away Shelgon’s Pokéball and took out a new one and threw it. “You’re up Jolteon.” Out came lightning Pokémon ready for action. “Use thunder bolt.” Jolteon let out a cry as electricity came out from its body and headed towards Sealeo. “Dive under water.” The ball Pokémon did that and that made Jolteon attack miss. Luna couldn’t help but curse. “Dame it.” She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Alright, let’s try this. Run around the field Jolteon.” Everyone was confused why, Jolteon to but he didn’t question his trainer as he started to run around the pond. Juan was also confused. ‘Why is she doing? No matter, I’ll stop her.’ He wait for the right moment when Jolteon was closest to Sealeo. “Use ice beam on the ground.” When Sealeo came up to the surface, Luna just smile. “You fell for it.” When Juan heard that he realized what mistake he did. ”Jump and use thunderbolt.” As Sealeo was about use ice beam, Jolteon jump into the air and realest electricity which he the ball Pokémon hard. When the attack was over, Sealeo lay in the water unconscious. “Sealeo is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. Lumi, Ace and Shadow was stunned off what just happened while James just smiled. ‘Nice work Luna, by moving Jolteon around the field Juan make a mistake. Let’s hope you can keep it up.’ He leaned back and waited for Juan last Pokémon. Juan called back Sealeo. “Nice work, take a good rest.” He look over to Luna who had a confidence look on her. “I must say, you trick my good with that stunt.” He then gave her a serious look. “But don’t think were done yet.” Jolteon walk back to Luna. “Bring it on.” Juan didn’t smile this time. “You ask for it.” He took out his last Pokémon. “Come out Milotic.” Out came the tender Pokémon ready for battle. “Alright Jolteon, use quick attack.” Jolteon started to run very fast towards Milotic. “Let’s see if you handle this, use blizzard.” A literally blizzard came out from Milotic mouth which stop Jolteon dead in its track, he couldn’t move. “Now, use Dragon tail.” Milotic tail started to glow green as she headed towards Jolteon. “Move it Jolteon.” It was no use, the blizzard had made him unable to move for the moment, he got upper cut by Milotic dragon tail which send him flying which send him flying through the air. Jolteon landed on the ground unconscious. “Jolteon is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. Lumi couldn’t help but grimace when saw what happened. “I forgotten how strong his Milotic.” Ace and Shadow couldn’t help but agree. Luna called back jolteon. “Nice work, take a rest.” She put away the Pokéball and took out a new one, she then threw it. “You’re up Ivysaur.” Out came the seed Pokémon ready for battle. “Use petal dance.” Ivysaur send out pink leaf’s towards it opponent. “Doge it and use ice beam.” Milotic managed to avoid the attack and then she send away an ice beam. “Dodge it.” Ivysaur jump backwards to avoid the attack. “Razor leaf.” As soon as he landed he send away leaf’s towards Milotic who this time didn’t have any time to dodge the attack she was hit, and she felt it. “Recover.” Milotic started to glow, and her wounds was healed. “Use ice beam again and keep on attacking.” Milotic attack with the same attack again. “Dodge it.” Ivysaur jump to the side this time and managed to avoid the attack but Milotic keep on attacking and eventually managed to hit Ivysaur who took a lot of damaged. “Use dragon tail.” Milotic tail started to glow green as she dashed towards Ivyasur who was still dazed, he got hit in the head by Milotic tails. He was out. “Ivysaur is unable to battle.” Sebastian announced. Lumi watch as Juan’s Milotic managed to beat two of Luna’s Pokémon like it was nothing, it was like her battle all over again and she hated it. Luna called back Ivysaur and took out her last Pokémon. “It’s now or nothing.” She threw the Pokéball. “Let’s do this Grovyle.” Out came the wood gecko Pokémon ready for battle. “Use leaf blade.” The leaves on Grovyle’s arms started to glow and they became like blades as he ran towards Milotic. “Use ice beam.” Milotic shot out ice from its mouth towards then running Grovyle, he managed to dodge the attack while he ran towards the tender Pokémon. Before Milotic could react, she was slash by Grovyle’s attack, and she was hurt. “Quickly, use dragon tail.” Milotic tail started glow and then she gave Grovyle an upper cut which send him flying. “Now use another ice beam.” Milotic attacked him while he was in the air, the ice beam send him flying backwards to Luna, Grovyle landed on the ground hard. Luna could only watch as Gorvyle landed in front of her. “Grovyle, are you ok?” She asked with worry in her voice, the wood gecko tried to get up, but he had taken a lot of damage. ‘Damn it, I am not going to let it end like this. Not when I am this close to the league.’ She clenched her fist. “Grovyle, don’t you dare give up. We have gotten so far since we left on our journey so don’t you dare give up, you hear me? Get up and fight because I believe in you.” That was all he needed to hear, he placed a hand on his knew to push himself up. “GroVYLE.” Once he was up he started to glow and grow, and when he was done a new Pokémon stood there. “SCEPTILE.” I look like a giant version of Grovyle with yellow seeds on it back and a tree branch as a tail? Luna took out her dex to see what kind of Pokémon Grovyle had evolved into. Sceptile the forest Pokémon and the evolved form of Grovyle. Sceptile has seeds growing on its back. They are said to be bursting with nutrients that revitalize trees. This Pokémon raises the trees in a forest with loving care. Luna couldn’t help but smile when she saw the data. “This is so cool.” She put away her dex. “Let’s win this Sceptile, use leaf blade.” Sceptile’s leaf on its arms started to glow as he dashed toward Milotic with incredible speed which took Juan of guard, Sceptile slash the tender Pokémon way hard then before. “Use ice beam.” Milotic shot an ice beam at Sceptile. “Block it.” Sceptile crossed it’s arms and took the attack. “Now use x scissor.” Then Sceptile arms started to glow as he hit Milotic with that attack. Milotic flew backwards a little. “Use recover.” Milotic started to glow and then most of damage was healed. “Time to finish this Sceptile, use solar beam.” The seeds on his back started to glow. Back with James and the others, they were surprised that Sceptile had learned solar beam. Juan on other hand, wasn’t going to lose. “Stop him Milotic, use ice beam.” Milotic attack. “Dodge the attack.” Sceptile jump back and managed to avoid the attack while charging the solar beam, then it was ready. “Alright, fire the solar beam.” A ball of light appeared in Sceptile’s mouth as he fire a yellow beam towards Milotic who had no time to dodge it. The tender Pokémon took that attack head on and it created a small explosion, when the smoke cleared they all saw Milotic lying on the ground unconscious. “Milotic is unable to battle, that means Luna is the winner.” Sebastian announced. Luna couldn’t believe it, she had won.
