Chapter 23 by tactician tactician

Did your mouth get you into trouble..... again?

Not if your luck and the power of loyalty has anything to say about it

Thanks to the fact that he had sent out a flying type you knew sending out Queeny would be a bad call, (birds eat bugs after all, that's like preschool level there) so Charmander it is, though you made sure to throw the ball more to the right near the tall grass instead of right in front of you and next to the lake. With the Apocalyptic look on his face you weren't taking the chance on whether he was bluffing before or not. Though this was more of a cautionary act it seemed to have been a smart move, as no matter how angry both the bird and the trainer got, Charmander seem to be having a blast, he was using the tall grass to quickly move from one place to another poking his head or tail out to entice the bird to dive only for it to miss as the poked out part returned to the grass, it was actually kind of hilarious watching the impromptu game of Whack-A-Mander.

As you noticed the Pidgey make a noticeably slower dive this time, you called out.

"Charmander use ember now."

"You didn't see any affirmation from him really except the tail of your Pokemon start to wag as flecks of fire flew through the air. As the bird saw the incoming fire and tried to quickly stop it dive, it had managed to stop it's dissent, but it's rapid wing beats made things unfortunately worse for it. The sudden gust of wind it produced added much needed fuel to the embers making them grow and fuse together into a surprisingly hot flash of flame. The sudden heat and light hurt your eyes for a second but once it was clear you saw a cloud of smoke hovering in the air. Before you could say anything Charmander poked his head out of the grass and a singed Pidgey dive bombed him hard knocking him out of the grass and hard against the cobblestone path, you could see very easily Charmander while awake, was stunned and now out in the open ment he would be an easy target so you returned him to his ball. Remembering an interesting little trick you read ones were pokemon placed in a pokeball are allowed even for a split second to re-orient themselves allowing them to instantly break out of confusion or being dazed. But as you reached for your other ball to unfortunately have to use your Weedle and hope the bird was too weak to fight back, when something really unexpected happened.

Out of the lake shot a black ball as it flew out of a cannon, nailing Pidgey hard. It didn't help the flying-type that the black ball was roughly the same size as it, so unfortunately as the strange ball fell to the ground like a dead weight the bird followed suit. It wasn't until the ball landed and bounced a few feet from you that it uncurled revealing its gray tail and spiral belly making you realized the cannonball was in fact a dazed and in no condition to move at all Poliwag.

"What the fucking hell was that just now?"

Blue's yell was reasonably understandable as you look at the lake to see a PISSED Yellow Magikarp trying to burn a hole in Blue with it eyes. You looked her over to see she had a few scrapes and other than a red bruise on her forehead she was relatively fine. Which meant....

"I....think Sushi tackled the Poliwag out of the water and into your Pidgey....Great job Sushi! Your the best."

You quickly ran over to the side of the lake hugging the Pokémon to you, with skill like that, who cares if your shirt now smelled like fish you were giving the Pokémon a great big hug. she deserved it. As you noticed blue was still shocked speechless, you fished out a potion from your bag.

"I'm sorry if this stings but it will help you feel a little better ok?"

With a few sprays from the purple bottle the fish winced, but with its name proclamation that sounded like it was in relief, you knew the stuff was working.

As you saw blue compose himself and retrieve another ball you gave a quick call of "return" and your Magikarp was safe in her ball.

"Squirtle it's up to you!"

The blue turtle stood ready as you pull out you're only Pokémon that was 100% right now, and with a plan in mind you really hope it works.

"Go! Queeny! Use poison sting!"

Without any hesitation the Yellow bug lunged forward, the stinger on her head leading the way.

"quickly use withdraw and counter."

Squirtle quickly retracted both its arms into its shell and waited at the last possible moment as the stinger almost reaches the shell and then the blue turtle thrust its belly forward, deflecting the stinger and hitting the bug in the head at the same time knocking her away.

"this is why you don't bother naming your Pokémon. you're just going to get attached to them and do stupid shit that gets them killed. Now use tackle and squash that thing into paste."

You watched as Squirtle squatted down and held his knees like a sumo and then charged forward about to slam into Queeny.

It was all you could do to keep the smile off your face.

"Queeny quickly! Use String shot! tie him up!"

It raised up off the ground looking as if it was never hurt to begin with and shot out a string of high pressure webbing, quickly wrapping around and pining the blue turtle's arms to its shell as the shell was encased in sticky strands of yellowish white silk.

"that's it Queeny now slam him."

With surprising strength for a little bug it began to spin in place pulling on the string and flinging the helpless Pokémon against rocks, the ground, a tree and the ground again before the silk string connected to the bigger clump snapped making the Squirtle roll a little, before it slowly stood back on his feet looking pretty banged up.

As you could hear Blue trying to encourage Squirtle to brake out of the webbing you noticed your Weedle seize up onto the tip of her tail and look up fireing a lot more string shot in a gentle spray that just started falling down around it and onto itself, as it did this it started to glow, shocking both you and Blue.

"Queeny, your evolving?"

Before you knew it the glowing stopped and there stood a Kakuna. But with one small difference from what you were used to seeing. You like anyone else aspiring to be a trainer would have of course looked at Pokemon magazines and books showing pictures of all kinds of different Pokemon. and since of course you always wanted a Beedrill you looked up stuff not only about it, but the previous evolutionary steps. You figured it was because the pictures were always of naturally occurring Kakuna and not trainer raised ones, it being the only explanation you could think of.

Like any other cocoon pokemon, Kakuna looked like a seamless hard shell covering over an in between of a Weedle and a Beedrill The only exception being two slits for the eyes to see out of, and for Queeny, a stinger still on her forehead.

"that would make sense, after all I did hear once that naturally caught Kakuna like Medapod can only use Harden. But a evolved Weedle and Caterpie use the moves they had before as there cocooned forms as well as learn harden."

You made a mental note in your head to tell Green and Oak about this later as you see Squirtle straining to free himself and the silk looking about ready to break.

Quick Queeny poison sting before he can break free."

As if being pulled by a rope the Kakuna shot forward without looking like she was moving her body heading towards her target like a missile.

"Quick you got to get out of its way!"

The Squirtle panicked as he tried to jump to the side just as the bug-type zoomed by unfortunately it's stinger scraping the side ripping the webbing which was enough for him to finally break free his arms stretched outward in triumph as he broke free.

"dive into the water before it can tie you up again, it can't do shit in the water, then use bubble. Bombard that thing to bits."

Squirtle quickly did as ordered diving into the water with a slight splash then slowly resurfacing like a miniature sub before releasing a huge wave of floating bubbles.

"Queeny quick use Harden"

Her body seemed to shimmer just as the bubbles reached her and with a series of flashes started going off like small bombs. You watched on in a strange mixture of calm and horror as with each rapid boom your pokemon was lifted into the air, up and up before landing a few feet from you covered in black scorch marks.....head first into ground. But with a quick once over surprisingly it didn't look like any of the shell body was damaged at all. But you could tell pretty quickly she was in no condition to continue fighting so back in the ball she went.

Thinking quickly you bite your bottom lip and hope this works.

"Sushi go! Stay underwater and tackle."

As the beam of light hit the water you didn't even see as she instantly dived in deep.

"please you really think that culinary reject is going to do squat to my Pokemon. Squirtle use bubble!"

He tryed that was shore and unfortunately all you could see was the blue turtle and not your own Pokemon but as he continued to use the attack and seem to get frustrated the more he tried the lake started looking more like a bubblebath. After a little bit Squirtle stopped to catch his breath when he started jerking back and forth in shock and surprise the fin of your little Sushi poking out from time to time gliding through the water looking more like a shark fin with each pass, you even giggled to yourself as you hummed the Jaws theme a little as Squirtle was getting very frustrated and sluggish.

"I don't get it. Sure Squirtle can't hit it, but his shell is tough enough that none of those attacks should even hurt him."

"Sushi use tackle! Hit him with everything you got!"

The three prong fin disappeared in the water. And for a few seconds the only thing anyone could hear was Squirtle calling out his name in frustration. Before Squirtle was hit from below rocketing him into the air, followed by Sushi coming out of the water after him. She looked so beautiful the sun sparkling of her yellow scales as her body moved from side to side The same as any other fish type would use to swim. Then as she started to lose momentum and fall back into the water, she spun in place slapping Squirtle with her Tail slamming him into the ground a few feet from the lake in a vicious spike, and gracefully re-enter to the water.

You watched as Squirtle slowly stood up from the small gouge in the ground before falling onto his hands and knees panting heavily. It was at this point Blue saw something you noticed before Squirtle jumped in the lake a slight cut on the turtles arm.....bleeding purple.

"Shit that fucking Kukuna actually did manage to hit him with a poison sting no wonder he look like he was getting weaker..............grrrrrrr! Fuck Shit you Mother FUcking CUNT! I GIVE UP!!! Squirtle return.

You try very hard to contain your excitement for a brief moment. Wanting to make sure he wasn't lying, (he'd been known to say one thing and do another before) but after retrieving his Pokemon into its ball he fell to his knees and just stared at the ground.

Remembering a certain detail you quickly through a lureball at the Paliwag and return Sushi to hers before you finally let it sink in.

'I just beat Blue!'

So what spoils go to the victor?
