25My Pov
I finally made it to Trovita Island. Here, I needed to earn a Spike Shell Badge. I didn't know if the Gym Leader was a girl or a boy. That's when a whirlpool starting pulling Lapi into it.
"Lapi, use Surf to escape the whirlpool!" I exclaimed. She did just that and managed to surf out of the whirlpool's reach. We reached the shore. "Are you okay, Lapi?" I rubbed her face, to help her calm down. Lapi nuzzled her nose against my face.
"Hey, you!" a voice snapped. I jolted up and turned around. There was a boy and a little girl standing a few feet behind me. "I saw how you and your Lapras managed to escape that whirlpool.
" Yeah, well... it was just a ditch effort." I said.
"Ditch effort or not, that took skill that most challengers don't have." The boy said.
"Challengers? Does that mean your the Trovita Island Gym Leader?" I asked.
"That's right! This is my brother, Rudy." The girl said.
"So, are you a challenger?" Rudy asked. I nodded. "All right. Let's go then." We walked for a while before we came to a stone platform above several whirlpools. "We'll each use 3 Pokémon, however, they mustold be the same types. Go, Electabuzz!" I pointed my PokéDex at it.
"Electabuzz, the Electric Pokémon. It loves to feed on strong electricity. It occasionally appears around large power plants and so on. Normally found near power plants, they can wander away and cause major blackouts in cities." the PokéDex said.I only had 1 Electric-Type with me and that was Sparky.
"Go, Sparky!" I exclaimed.
"Electabuzz, Quick Attack!" Rudy exclaimed.
"Sparky, dodge it!" I exclaimed. Sparky jumped up and caused Electabuzz to skidded across the ground. "Now, use Double Kick!" Sparky kicked Electabuzz in the back twice.
"Electabuzz, Thunderbolt!" Rudy commanded. Electabuzz zapped Sparky with Thunderbolt, but it didn't do anything. That's right. Sparky's ability was Volt Absorb, which restored the Pokémon's HP when hit with an Electric-type move.
"Not gonna do you much good. Sparky, Shadow Ball!" I said. Sparky shot a purplish-black blob at Electabuzz and knocked it into a large rock, knocking it out. Rudy returned Electabuzz.
"Nice job, using your Pokémon's ability to win. Let's see how you handle this one. Go, Exeggutor!" Rudy said.
"Exeggutor, the Coconut Pokémon and the evolved form of is called 'The Walking Tropical Rainforest.' Each of the nuts has a face and will of its own. Legend has it that on rare occasions, one of its heads will drop off and continue on as an Exeggcute." the PokéDex was a Grass/Psychic type, so I could use either. Since I didn't have a Psychic type, I decided to go with my Grass type.
"Go, Root!" I said.
"Exeggutor, use Barrage!" Rudy commanded. Exeggutor shot several spheres at Root.
"Root, use Bullet Seed to counter it!" I said. Root shot a barrage of seeds, countering the spheres. "Now, use Razor Leaf!" Root spun and shot leaves at Exeggutor. The leaves knocked the Coconut Pokémon off its feet. "Use PoisonPowder." A purple mist covered Exeggutor and poisoned it.
"Use Barrage again!" Rudy commanded.
"Dodge it!" I said. Root jumped out of the way.
"Confusion!" Rudy exclaimed. Root was hit by a kenetic zap of energy and was knocked out. "Final round. This will decide the match. Go, Starmie!" I thought and decided to use Tide.
"Go Tide." I said.
"Starmie, use Thunderbolt!" Rudy exclaimed.
"Tide, use Iron Tail to absorb it." I said. Tide's tail glowed and he absorbed the electric attack. "Now, attack!" Tide slashed Starmie with his electrically charged tail. Starmie bounced off several rocks before coming to rest in the ground. It's core blinked several times before it went out. Rudy returned Starmie and walked over to me.
"Nice job. As the rules of the Orange League dictate, I present you the Spike Shell Badge." Rudy said. I took it and looked at it. It was shaped like a Triumphant Star Turban with a small gemstone on it. I only had 1 more island; Kumquat Island. I used Lapi to surf to the island. I arrived in no time.
"Vivian!" a voice called. I was instantly caught in a hug by someone. I looked up to see a woman.
"Um... ma'am? I think you have me confused for someone else." I struggled to say. The woman let go and looked at me.
"Oh! I'm sorry. It's just you look a little like my Vivian. She set out on her journey a while back and she had an Eevee just like you do." the woman said.
"My name is Cinder. I was hoping you could help me find the Kumquat Island Gym." I said.
"Of course I can help you find it, me being the Gym Leader." the woman said. It turned out this was the Gym Leader, Luana. She specialized in double battles. She was using a Alakazam and Marowak. I pointed my PokéDex at them.
"Alakazam, the Psi Pokémon and the evolved form of Kadabra. It does not like physical attacks very much. Instead, it freely uses extra-sensory powers to defeat foes. Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its IQ (intelligence quotient)is said to be around 5000." Then at Marowak. "Marowak, the Bone Keeper Pokémon and the evolved form of Cubone. It is small and was originally very weak. Its temperament turned ferocious when it began using bones. The bone it holds is its key weapon. It throws the bone skillfully like a boomerang to KO targets." the PokéDex said. A Ground-type and a Psychic-type. I decided to use Tide and Kitty.
"Go Tide and Kitty!" I said.
"Alakazam, use Reflect! Marowak, use Boomerang!" Luana said. 2 walls of light surrounded the Pokémon and Marowak threw it's bone at Tide.
"Tide, jump and use Bubblebeam! Kitty use Safeguard!" I said. A veil cloaked my team and Tide shot a barrage of bubbles at Marowak's bone, knocking it in the air. "Quick, both of you use Shadow Ball!" Both of them shot a purplish-black blob at each of the opponents. They hit.
"Alakazam, use Hyper Beam!" Luana commanded. Alakazam shot an enormous beam at both my Pokemon.
"Kitty, use Psychic to lift Tide in the air!" I said. Kitty's eyes glowed as Tide was lifted into the air just before the beam hit him. "Now, use Silver Wave!" Silver Wave was a combination of Surf and Silver Wind. Tide used Surf and Kitty sent Silver Wind into the large wave, turning it to a glowing, silver wave. It crashed down and wiped out both of Luana's Pokémon. She returned both of them and walked over to me.
"I've never seen a combination like that before. I'm proud to present you with the Jade Star Badge." Luana said .I took it and looked at it. It was shaped like a conch shell with a gemstone on it. I decided not to challenge the Orange League. When I went back to Pallet, Professor Oak told me that there was a different region called Johto. I decided to go there. The only things I took with me were my pack, Hoppy and the G.S Ball. I got on the boat and headed to my next adventure.
Ok. I'm done with this one. I will try to at least get my Johto and Hoenn stories done before the end of summer, but I'm really hooked back on Codename: Kids Next Door. I really want to have my Unova story done by the time November comes. That way, I can alternate between my Kalos story and my Alola story.
