Chapitre 26: Chapter 25
I walk to the Galar mine with Rain right next to me. When we went inside of the mine we decided to explore before heading to Motostoke. I looked around and saw a few lights sprinkled around the cave walls. There were also a few pokemon wondering around the entrance of the mine.
One of the pokemon sounded an alarm. Then the pokemon around the cave entrance ran away hiding in the restricted area. It is area that is blocked off with caution tape and signs saying that it is a dangerous area filled with pokemon that are to high of levels for beginner trainers to catch. There is also an elite trainer along with a pokemon ranger guarding the area. They are holding dex scanners to see if a trainer is allowed in the area or not.
I walk past the area when the ranger locks eyes with me. She steps out blocking my path.
She pulls out a pokeball," Kid when you lock eyes with another trainer you are forced to battle."
The elite trainer throws his pokeball," Yup it's like an unofficial rule used by more experienced trainers to get money from newbies."
Then something that I think is a pokemon or a small child dressed as a cheerleader steps out," Double battles are the best way to finally get money after these two spend our whole budget on clothes. I need money to buy food dang it!"
Then a floating thing with a piece of wood on it is also dressed as a cheerleader appears out of nowhere. I read the sign it says finally an easy way to get food for the boss.
I look at Rain," Would you like to do a double battle with me?" I also take out Echo's pokeball ready to release her to battle. I make sure that Leilani is strapped in the baby harness I got earlier when exploring town. She wiggles around a bit on my chest then sighs going back to sleep.
Rain grins," Yeah lets show these two what real teamwork is like." Then he tosses his Trapinch's pokeball out on the field.
I release Echo." Echo show these adult trainers that we will not lose to them!" Echo lands next to Trapinch. They both nod to each other.
Then the ranger releases a Nickit and the elite trainer released a Bronzor.
The cheerleader raises a pompom," The rules are that each side is only allowed to use one pokemon each. That means one pokemon per trainer. When one side does not have any pokemon left they lose and give money to the winning team. Good luck trainers."
Then the area that the battle is being held is secured by a safety barrier to prevent any stray attacks from coming out and harming the people or the environment outside the battle. The cheerleaders start waving their pompoms cheering for the opposing team.
The ranger smirks with her blue eyes flashing from underneath her bangs," Nickit use Sucker Punch on Trapinch!" The Nickit's paw formed energy around it then punched Trapinch in the face. It landed and caused Trapinch to fly a few feet back from the impact. Then Trapinch stands back up shaking off the dust that was covering it.
Rain shifts his hat to the side," Trapinch use Sand Tomb on Bronzor!" Trapinch bites the ground then shots sand at Bronzor. It traps Bronzor in a small area with sand swirling around it. Some sand hits Bronzor in a few places causing slight damage.
I look at the field to figure out my first move. Then I remember that Echo has a fighting type move that Nickit should be weak to.
I make sure to cover Leilani's earholes," Echo use Double Kick on Nickit then use Ember on Bronzor." Echo jumps into the air lashing out at high speeds at the Nickit. Two high powered kicks landed forcing the Nickit to slam into the barrier surrounding the battle field. The Nickit falls to the ground bruised and singed from the voltage from the barrier. Echo leaps back to her side of the field all the while shooting ember at Bronzor. The fire from the ember mixes with the sand causing Bronzor to faint from the damage.
The elite trainer sighs," Bronzor you did better than I expected for your first battle. I should have used my other pokemon. Oh well can't expect to win every battle." Then Bronzor is returned to its pokeball.
Then the small cheerleader screeches," The boss will not be happy with you idiot." Then the two cheerleaders join forces to attack the elite trainer. They rip off a hat revealing blue hair underneath it. Then a light bulb goes off. The two people we are battling are Jane and Jayden from Team Mafia. That means that Morpeko and Duskull are the cheerleaders. The leader they keep mentioning is Psypsy and they are challenging new trainers to get money for him. I will not stand for it I will beat them and take the money to give to the Motostoke police.
I glare at them," Echo use Flame charge to take out Nickit!" Echo growls then charges with flames surrounding her. She charges at Nickit causing it to faint. Then the protective barrier went down cancelling out any residue effects left by the battle.
The pokemon ranger grits her teeth," You brats win this round but next time will not be as easy." Then she helps Jayden up off the floor. They whisper furiously between each other. I caught part of the conversation about running and taking the money with them. They also mentioned wanting to give the money to their boss.
I look at Rain whispering," Rain those are the same people who destroyed the Pokemon Center bedroom. They are taking money that is not theirs to use for some nefarious plan. They also probably did something awful to the elite trainer and ranger who were supposed to be here."
Rain glances back at me," Yeah we need to take them out quick before they run. Trapinch headbutt the two trainers over there." Trapinch runs over knocking over Jane and Jayden. I run over with Rain and Echo in front of me.
Morpeko grabs a bag from out of nowhere shirking," We need ta leave they know why we're here." It tries to run but slips and falls from the heavy weight of the bag. Then Duskull grabs the other two and uses Confuse Ray on Trapinch. It causes Trapinch to start dizzily moving around shooting Mud Shot. Thankfully in it's confusion it did not hit us bit it did manage to hit the bag. This caused the bag to slip out of Morpeko's paws to Rain. He grabs it kicking Morpeko away from him.
We ran with the money to the exit leading to Motostoke. We did this while being chased by Jane. Jayden, Morpeko and Duskull chased us to the end of the cave. When I see a familiar figure arguing with someone else. If we run fast enough we could have help. So I run faster with my friends to ask for help.
