Capítulo 115: King Onix
After we finished breakfast the girls and I hurriedly prepared to depart, which consisted mostly of me explaining to them how the Capsules worked, and how to use them.
Unlike Dragon Ball, where just anyone could use a Capsule, Silph co had implemented a security measure to ensure that none of the Capsules could be stolen, especially with pokemon or people still inside. This was primarily the use of biometric scanners built into the Capsule itself before they opened, and beside the control panel that could turn them back.
As the owner, of course my biometrics were already programmed into all three. But before we left I made sure to register all of the girls as well, and then passed the collapsed Capsules to them in case May and I returned late tonight.
Once all that was done, Misty, Dawn and Joy all took off walking down the coastline while May and I mounted Pidgeot, and Lucario did the same on Charizard. Unfortunately for Lucario his steel typing made him weak to the intense heat that was radiating from Charizard's body, but he was the one who insisted as a form of endurance training.
Soon the landscape was passing by underneath us as we swiftly flew over the increasingly jagged mountains, though not at Pidgeot's top speed of course. Otherwise Charizard would never be able to keep up.
With no sign of the Mounatin Kingdom readily appearing though, May and I decided to pass the time by scrolling through the comments of May's Expeditions.
She had posted a video before we left camp saying that she would be online in a couple hours or so, but instead of just another video she would be going live this time. Naturally, there were plenty of comments about how excited her followers were to see her live, along with some.....less than respectful comments.

Pokegal137: May is going LIVE!?!🤩
JustaJynx: Be careful May!
TricksterHarley: It would be such a SHAME if anything happened to dear May! 💢
Megasimp6969: May! please show us your 🍒🍑🌮!
AtypicalNoctowl: @Megasimp6969, Dude.... CHILL TF OUT!
***
These comments and more appeared as May and I scrolled through them, along with several requesting different places and pokemon they had heard about, a few of which caught my attention as well. There were rumors of unique pokemon that could be found all over the world, like an Onix made entirely of crystal instead of stone, a giant Wiscash that had evaded capture for over a hundrd years, or a Sudowoodo that was made of gold.
A lot of comments were asking May to do pieces on these incredibly rare pokemon as well, which I was more than a little interested in.
This continued until I sensed something on the horizon to the right.
"Hey May, I think theres something over in that direction." I said, pointing to where I could feel the powerful mass of auras. A look at Lucario told me he could feel it as well.
"Ok! Lets go down there and start the live stream then, so that they can see the moment we arrive!" May declared as she pulled her camera from her bag, and I sent my consciousness to Pidgeot.
Slow down and get ready to land Pidgeot.
"!?!"
Pidgeot looked back at me in alarm as my voice sounded in my head, which also made Lucario look over curiously since he could probably feel his alarm. I just smiled knowingly at both of them, not answering their obvious questions.
Regardless, Pidgeot slowed his speed and angled downwards so that we would land a short ways away from where I could feel the powerful auras.
"So are you sure Ace?" May asked me curiously as she put the finishing touches on her equipment.
"Yeah, it seems like it. I can feel numerous powerful auras, and people say the mountain kingdom is known for having powerful pokemon. Either way, you should get some good content from this place." I told her, while also hoping I would find another strong pokemon to add to my team.
"Alright then!" May declared as she set her tripod up, linking her Pokenav and camera so she could film while broadcasting live.
"3...2...1.... And go!"
"Hello everyone! May here, bringing you another exciting episode of May's Expeditions! Today I'm doing a special livestream as we explore the mysterious area known as the Mountain Kingdom!
"It's dangerous region found in the mountains of eastern Kanto, that is home to numerous powerful pokemon that supposedly hate humans. But don't worry, cause I have my super dependable and strong boyfriend her with me, Ace!"
As she greeted her fans and announced the purpose of this video, May used a remote that controled the tripod of the camera so that it turned to look at me, introducing me to her fans as well.
***
Pokegal137: OMG! He's so hot! 😍
Megasimp6969: NOOOOOOOOOO!
CheckmyArbok: Damn... She's taken...
Bren-tothe-dan: I knew I should have gone to Kanto with her....
Maximus123: @Bren-tothe-dan, Big bro is still the best!
***
My brow twitched at some of the reactions of them finding out May had a boyfriend, with most cursing me for daring to date the woman they admired. But I had to push down the urge to call them a bunch of worthless virgins live before everyone who was watching.
"Anyways! Just over this ridge is a whole herd of wild and powerful pokemon, that Ace and I will show you all now. But be quite, as none of them should know we're here." Saying that, May turned and started walking towards the crest of the small hill between us and the pokemon, while I grabbed the tripod and followed her.
Once we managed to peek up over the edge though, all of us were stunned by what we saw.
Gathered in a small valley below were more than a hundred pokemon of various species, each and every one of which radiating aura to show how strong they all individually were. Most were obviously training as they battled against one another all throughout the valley, while others were catering to the others by either tending to their wounds, or bringing them food.
However what caught my attention specifically was a truly massive Onix that rivaled, or even surpassed Brock's Steelix in size. And even more amazing was that I could see the other pokemon deferring to it, either catering to it or paying it respect whenever they went by it.
"What's with that Onix?" May asked curiously.
"It looks like the one in charge around here. Like a king or something." I answered, to which Lucario nodded in agreement.
"That does in fact appear to be the case."
I pointed the camera down into the valley as we watched the pokemon going about their business, until May hurried back in front of it as she continued,
"As you can see, there are a multitude of powerful pokemon down before us, all paying tribute to a massive Alpha Onix, like it is some kind of king to them. But aside from it, you can also see quite the variety of pokemon as well.
"There appears to be pokemon from the Geodude line, Machop line, Tyrogue lines, Spearow line, Ryhorn line, Mankey line, Kangaskhan, Onix line, Magby line, and even a couple from the Charmander line. They all appear to be living together in relative harmony, coexisting and helping one another in different roles just like any other society."
I watched with a smile as May, using her knowledge from growing up as the daughter of a famous pokemon professor, pointed out all of the interesting things that we could observe about the Mountain Kingdom from our vantage point. Things like how the entire group worked together in different roles, what those roles were, their apparant hierarchy, and significant habits that wild pokemon typically didn't possess.
And the entire time her audience was eating it up, with numerous comments and questions flowing constantly that I would occasionally repeat to May, allowing her to answer them to the best of her knowledge.
This continued until I noticed Lucario look up in alarm, before focusing his attention downwards. Before I could ask him what was up though, I could also sense what he had noticed right as the ground began to shake beneath our feet.
"We're about to have some company May." I told her, right before the ground erupted around us.
The three of us were showered in bits of rock and dirt as several rock and ground type pokemon appeared, a few Geodudes, some Dugtrio, and an Onix(not the king down below).
"Uhhh... Hello?" May uttered fearfully as the pokemon all glowered at us with undisguised hostility, while Lucario prepared to fight if need be.
"Please be at peace. We're not here to hurt any of you." I told them in a soothing voice, or at least I hoped it was. But it appeared that none of them believed me as the Onix began to growl and rumble threateningly.
"Um Ace... Translation?" May requested fearfully.
"They're telling us that humans aren't welcome here." I replied calmly, keeping them all in sight while also ready to grab my pokeballs if need be.
Before that though, I focused my attention on one of the Geodude that was showing the most hostility in it's aura towards us, and recalled what had happened with Sabrina last night.
I never had managed to read her mind, not even close. But I did manage to get a general grasp on how to read minds in general, so long as they weren't actively defending against me.
With my intent focused on the Geodude, I plunged my consciousness into it's mind to try and read it. And I had met no resistance! Instead, there was a surge of memories belonging to the geodude of when it belonged to a group of humans before finding refuge in this valley, humans that cruelly mistreated it and abused it in the name of making it stronger.
Though some of the training I put my pokemon through could also be considered abusive by some, like Charizard training to resist water type damage, they had all consented to it and endured it willingly. I never pushed them into doing something they refused to do, or risked hurting them in the process.
Geodude meanwhile had been routinely thrown into a lake to try and help it get over it's fear of water, which only made it's fear even worse since it was a literal rock that couldn't swim regardless of how much it tried. And that wasn't even including the times it was used as a practice dummy to train fighting type moves, which it was also weak against.
It had nearly died more than once under their cruel treatment, before finally being deamed useless and thrown away when it was incredibly weak. The only reason it survived was because it was discovered by a Machop that was out training, and brought it back to the valley to heal it's wounds.
"We're nothing like those people." I told the Geodude after pulling my consciousness back from it.
"DUDE!" It cried irritably in objection, having lost all of it's faith in humans.
"Even if you don't believe me, we haven't done anything to be attacked for. So either let us go, or you can take us to your king for him to decide."
"""!!!"""
To call the Geodude and the other pokemon surprised would be an understatement when I referred to their king, which they probably didn't expect humans to know about.
A couple of them then began conversing amongst themselves quietly, though they made sure to keep an eye on the three of us as they did so.
"What are they talking about?" May asked me in a voice just barely above a whisper.
"They're discussing what to do with us since I mentioned their king. Basically, they're suprised that a human would realize, and acknowledge, that there would be a king amongst pokemon." I told her in an equally quiet voice.
The microphone on the camera picked it up however, and that, along with May asking me for a translation earlier, was apparently sending the viewers into a frenzy since I could understand what pokemon were saying. There was a constant stream of comments and questions regarding that, along with those worried about the current situation.
If it weren't for the group of angry pokemon around us, I probably would've spent some time going through them all for a laugh.
After a couple minutes of deliberation, the group of pokemon turned their attention back towards us as the Onix began to growl at us.
"What now?" May asked.
"Now, we go and meet the king." I told her, before we were forced to march down to the valley with the pokemon surrounding us in case we tried something. Which was funny considering Lucario and I could deal with them if need be, AND Pidgeot was flying up above us.
But I was curious about this Mountain King, so I decided to go along with them.
Soon we entered the valley and gained the attention of the rest of the pokemon there, and they quickly surrounded us as they began crying and roaring at us angrily. But I just ignored them while focusing my attention on the only calm pokemon amongst the crowd, the king Onix.
Soon we were before him, and with a single deafening roar, the entire valley fell silent as they awaited it's decision. Then, a much quieter rumble came from it's throat as it demanded to know what we were doing there.
"Greetings king Onix. I am Ace, and this is my girlfriend May, along with my partner Lucario. We came here to see if the stories of the mighty Mountain Kingdom were true, and were amazed to find that the stories did not do this place justice." I replied to it, obviously doing all the talking while May continued streaming, and Lucario prepared to fight if need be.
There was another rumble as king Onix demanded to know what we intended to do now that we found this place, to which I smirked while saying, "Easy. If possible, I would like to add one or two pokemon here to my team with how strong they all are. But if not then, we will be on our way."
Immediately my words were met by deafening cries and roars of indignation and fury, as every single one of the wild pokemon around us became agitated, while one of the Machoke charged forwards and swung it's fist at me. I didn't even look back at it as Lucario stepped between me and Machoke, and caught it's fist in his paw, holding it in place without returning a single hit of his own. But I knew he was just waiting for me to give the go ahead.
King Onix then roared again to restore order, calming the surrounding pokemon once more before turning it's attention back to me. It then said in it's usual rumble that none of the pokemon here would ever agree to go with me due to the treatment many of them had received from humans in the past. Several of which were released or thrown away after being mistreated, while the rest of them were often attacked by greedy humans that sought only to possess them for themselves.
"I understand, but that is why I would like a chance to prove myself!" I declared in a voice loud enough for all of them to hear me, before I pointed at king Onix arrogantly.
"King Onix! I challenge YOU to a battle! If I win, then not only will the three of us walk out of here witout being attacked, but YOU will join me as a part of my team!"
Stunned silence met my declaration, as I readily challenged the strongest pokemon there to a battle.
"GOL!" A large Golem roared angrily as it started to step towards me to punish my insolence, only to be halted by a growl from king Onix. Who then went on to make a declaration to the rest of the pokemon gathered around us.
"What's it saying?" May asked me yet again to translate, to which I replied,
"Basically, he's saying that no one has the right to call themselves king if they back away from a challenge, and if he loses and joins me, it just means he was too weak to begin with." But, as he continued going and turned his attention towards me, I cocked a brow before a smile spread on my face.
"Also, he says that I have no right to come in here and challenge the king right off the bat. If I want to battle him, then I and my pokemon must prove ourselves by defeating three of his generals in battle."
I began to grow excited at the challenge, as this would be my team's first real battle ever since we fought Gengar. I knew several of them would relish the chance to test their strength after so much training. May however turned back to her camera, and excitedly declared,
"Do you hear that viewers?! Get ready to see an Ace versus king Onix matchup, right here! Will Ace win, or will he hit rock bottom? Stay tuned and find out here, at May's Expeditions!"

Capítulo 116: Battle of Monsters
After King Onix declared that there would be a battle between his generals and my pokemon, all of the surrounding mountain pokemon began to move as they crowded around a raised rocky section that was obviously an arena. May, Lucario and I also moved to stand on our section as the opponents, she with her camera that was still streaming onto Pokevision all the while.
As we got into place though, I also noticed a certain group of pokemon move to the opposite end, all of which were significantly more powerful than the others around us. Among them was a large Golem, Kangaskhan, Primape, Machamp, Magmar, and a large Fearow.
As I quickly swapped out some of my pokemon for the coming battles though, the Machamp on the other side stepped forward and flexed it's muscles intimidatingly.
The Machamp was a powerful and impressive specimen, covered in numerous scars that depicted the numerous battles and hardships it must have gone through to get where it is now. But then it surprised me as it looked at all of the pokemon surrounding us, and did something unexpected.
*STOMP STOMP CLAP!*
"!!!"
*STOMP STOMP CLAP!*
*STOMP STOMP CLAP!*
*STOMP STOMP CLAP!*
Following it's lead, all of the other pokemon began to follow along, stomping their feet or hitting their fists against the ground before clapping their hands. Soon the entire mountain was shaking and shuddering in time with the beat, triggering numerous rockslides and minor earthquakes with the force being created by all of the pokemon.
If it were anyone else in my place then they probably would've been terrified, but I felt my heart rate increase with each passing second that they continued.
"W-what are they doing?" May uttered in a small squeak that I barely heard over the thundering rumbles of their beat, her earlier excitment from my challenge seemingly vanished.
"It's an intimidation tactic." I told her, but it was obvious I was far from intimidated. In fact, the only reason I wasn't singing the lyrics that went with this beat was because no one would even be able to hear them.
Instead I had a massive smile on my face as I began to stomp and clap along with all of the pokemon, surprising them this time when it was apparent I wasn't intimidated by the display.
***
Supernerd765: Am I the only one that thinks this beat slaps? 🎶👏
MuscleGurl345: Some of these pokemon have definitely been in professional fights.
Brawlerguy: FUCK YEAH! I'M GETTING PUMPED UP!
***
The beat continued until the Machamp that started it roared out, and they all fell completely silent now that everyone was in their places. May, Lucario and I on one end of the arena, the generals on the other, and King Onix to the side as the officiator.
"Groooooooooa!" King Onix declared, commanding that the combatants for the first round to come forward.
I waited to see who my first opponent would be as the massive Golem stepped up onto the arena, slamming it's feet down and taking a stance like a sumo wrestler as it did so.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" It roared challengingly, while I automatically grabbed one of the Pokeballs on my belt. I knew EXACTLY who I was going to use for this round.
"Go, Wartortle!"
"WAAAAAAAAAR!"
With a cry, wartortle appeared before the Golem appearing equally ready to battle as he stood to his full height of almost six feet. I could tell he was especially ready to go as he recalled the battle against Brock's Golem, which was why I chose to send him out for this round.
"Ready for a rematch?" I asked him, though this wasn't the same Golem.
"Wartortle!" He cried, acting so serious he wasn't even doing his usual bully Maguire dance.
For a moment the two pokemon glared at one another, ready to move at a moment's notice, before another roar from King Onix signaled the start of the match.
"GOLEM!" With a cry, Golem immediately summoned a powerful Sandstorm that swept throughout the entire arena.
'Raindance, and then Hydro Pump.' I ordered Wartortle through telepathy, briefly surprising him when he heard my voice in his head. But to Wartortle's credit he didn't let that distract him too much as he did as I ordered.
Quickly performing his bully Maguire dance, the vortex of sand was replace by fat raindrops that began to pour down on top of all of us, revealing where Golem was within the Sandstorm perfectly so that Wartortle could follow up with his Hydro Pump.
Opening his mouth wide, Wartortle shot out a blast of water that slammed into Golem with enough force that it was pushed back a few inches, before it dug it's feet into the ground to brace against the water.
"Tch."
I clicked my tongue when it was apparent that Golem wasn't taking much damage from the attack, combined with the water from the rain. That must've meant that it had the Sturdy ability, which of course worked differently from the games.
Originally Sturdy was an ability that prevented one hit KOs on the pokemon that possessed it, leaving them with just one health point. In this world however, Sturdy increased the pokemon's defensive capabilities to allow it to take significantly less damage from attacks, especially ones that it would be weak to.
But that didn't mean that the Golem was unbeatable.
Even as Wartortle kept up the Hydro Pump, Golem tucked it's arms and legs in close and started rotating it's body at high speed, carving a trench through the hard stone underfoot as it used Rollout.
'Aqua Jet!'
Wartortle quickly closed his mouth to cancel the Hydro Pump and shot forward as well, water coating his entire body as his speed picked up.
For a moment all we could see was a rocky cannonball, and a bullet of water hurtling towards one another, before they clashed in the middle of the arena. Water and rocks exploded outwards from the point of collision, forcing me to throw up a wall of aura to protect May and I, as well as her camera, while Lucario proceeded to simply deflect them with his paw.
Along with all of the water and rock shards, both Golem and Wartortle were similarly blasted back from the collision thanks to the strength of their respective attacks. I had to admit, I was fairly proud of my not-so-little turtle for going head-to-head with a Golem in terms of strength.
Wartortle managed to twist in midair and land squarely on his feet, sliding back a bit further before coming to a stop. Golem meanwhile tumbled to the ground before using it's momentum to roll back to it's feet as well.
Then, without missing a beat, it reached down and ripped a large chunk of stone out of the ground that rivaled it in size, and threw it at Wartortle.
'Use Aqua Tail to smash it apart!'
"WAR!"
With a cry, Wartortle leapt up as water type energy gathered on his tail, which he swung down in a flip to slam against the rock. The water type energy washed over the rock, weakening it before the rock shattered from the applied force of Wartortle's tail.
No sooner had he landed on his feet did Golem shoot forward to grab onto Wartortle, who reacted just in time to lock hands with it before Golem pushed him all the way to the edge of the arena.
"Hold on Wartortle!" I cried out loud to him. "Use Hydro Pump!"
"WAR!" He cried out in frustration, but, instead of doing as I commanded, something else happened.
Wartortle's entire body was enveloped in light before his figure began to grow, and grow, and GROW. And once the light faded, standing there was my newly evolved Blastoise.
He stood nearly ten feet tall, his shell and body both a darker brown and blue respectively, and now there was a pair of cannons that protruded from his shoulders.
I didn't even realize the smile that had formed on my face until my cheeks started to hurt, and even then I didn't stop smiling. Now I had TWO fully evolved starters, both of which were alphas!
And as if to demonstrate just how good of a thing that was, Blastoise then proceeded to firmly plant his feet at the edge of the arena, and start lifting Golem upwards.
"GOL!?!" Golem exclaimed in disbelief as Blastoise lifted it into the air using the strength developed from our training, before thowing it up high.
"NOW! Hydro Pump!"
"BLAAAAAST!"
Roaring in affirmation, Blastoise aimed it's dual cannons and fired twin blasts of water that put his earlier Hydro Pump to shame. The attack was so powerful, that it blasted Golem clear out of bounds and into one of the surrounding cliff-sides, disqualifying it.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhn!" King Onix roared out, confirming Blastoise's victory over Golem.
***
HardasOnix: DUDE! That Blastoise is a monster!
PunchingreignsSUPREME: Go! Go! Master! Kick their asses!
IloveCleffa: Yay! Yay! Lets go May!
***
With our first victory confirmed, Blastoise shuffled back over to me with a proud smile on his face as he stopped right in front of me.
"That was amazing buddy." I told him with pride, patting one of his arms as I did so.
"Blaaast." He rumbled happily from the praise, before I returned him to his Pokeball for some rest.
This was turning out to be a great side-stop! Even if I didn't end up capturing King Onix this was all already worth it.
I then turned my attention back to the arena as the next general stepped forward, a massive Kangaskhan that stood over ten feet tall.
"KHAAAAAAAAAAN!" She roared challengingly at me, stomping her feet as she did so.
"Oh? You think size matters?" I asked with a smirk, already knowing which pokemon I was going to use next.
"Go, PARASECT!" I cried while throwing the Pokeball out, before it opened to reveal a MASSIVE living mushroom that made the ground shudder with each of it's movements.
"SEEEEEEEECT!" It roared in response to the Kangaskhan's challenge, standing at nearly twice her height.
It was followed by another groan from King Onix, and the second match began.
"Khan!" Kangaskhan roared again as she charged Parasect while amassing power to deliver a devestating Giga Impact. It was an exceptionally powerful physical move on par with Hyper Beam, but would render the user unable to move for a brief time afterwards due to the extreme amount of power it used.
But who said I had any intention of letting it hit Parasect?
'Use Bullet Seed!'
"Sect!" Parasect roared as it complied with my command, firing it's massive seeds at the incoming Kangaskhan.
Each one was about the size of cannonballs, and carried enough force that Kangaskhan was blasted backwards when they impacted her. What was normally a devestating attack to begin with was positively horrendous when you considered how much harder those seeds hit with the momntum Kangaskhan had already built up.
The pokemon general hit the ground hard and rolled to the edge of the arena, leaving her battered and bruised as she tried to pick herself up.
"Finish it." I commanded it, and Parasect complied as it unleashed a massive torrent of draconic energy from it's mouth, Dragon Breath.
Still injured, Kangaskhan was unable to avoid the attack as the draconic energy washed over her body completely. And by the time Parasect as finished the attack, Kangaskhan was completely unconscious.
"""..."""
Stunned silence met the end of the battle, with none of the surrounding pokemon, let along King Onix, knowing what to do or say.
***
VibrantDaisy: There's that monster of a Parasect...
ImaSnorlax: Is that thing even a pokemon anymore!?!?!?!?!?
ConfusedCorphish: Dude's got an army of monsters in the making!
***
"Nice job Parasect." I commended my pokemon while returning it to it's pokeball, which gave a quick jerk of affirmation in my hand before I returned it to my belt.
By this point the surrounding pokemon were stupified at how my team had won TWO matches against their generals, and they were starting to get antsy for a win themselves.
"CHAMP CHAMP!" Cried out the Machamp from earlier as it stepped onto the arena this time, flexing all four of it's arms as it did so to show off.
"Want me to wrap this up partner?" Lucario asked as he made to step forward.
"Sorry, but not this time." I told him, wanting to give some of my other pokemon a chance.
"Go Grovyle!"
"GroVYLE!" Grvyle declared to his opponent while flexing his body as well.
'It's got you beat in terms of both strength and exerience, so you have to win through speed.' I communicated to Grovyle via telepathy. He too was confused momentarily from hearing my voice in his head, but focused on the opponent before him.
And with another roar from King Onix, the battle began.
'Agility, and then Leaf Blade.' I commanded through telepathy.
"..."
Grovyle affirmed my commands through a silent nod, before following the former as his body lightened considerably, and then following the latter as he disappeared and reappeared behind Machamp.
"GRO!"
Grovyle cried as he swung the blades made of grass type energy down at Machamp's exposed backside.
"Champ." Machamp smirked as two of his arms moved to block the attack without it even needing to look back.
"..."
I could feel Grovyle's irritation from being blocked like that, prompting him to open his mouth to spray Machamp in the back of the head with a Bullet Seed. But all that accomplished was making Machamp swing it's arms back, sending Grovyle flying back before he landed gracefully on his feet.
No sooner than when he'd looked up was Grovyle jumping back yet again as Machamp lunged at him to strike, one hand covered in flames for Fire Punch, another in frost for Ice Punch, another crackling from the Thunder Punch, and the fourth one with a metallic sheen from Bullet Punch.
"Move!" I shouted at Grovyle as Machamp threw a Fire Punch at him, before following it with a Ice Punch, and then Bullet Punch.
Grovyle was moving entirely on the defensive with Detect as Machamp pressed it's attack relentlessly, never giving him a moments respite as he had to dodge attack after attack.
Maybe I SHOULD have sent Lucario in instead?
But now wasn't the time to worry about that, as I had to focus on keeping Grovyle from getting hit while also finding an opening for him to counterattack. Detect doesn't last forever, and with each attack Grovyle avoided the higher the chance it wouldn't work the next.
'Try and get some distance with Quick Attack!'
"..."
Grovyle silently complied as he pushed his body to move faster to avoid the next attack, and dart around Machamp to try and get away. Unfortunately, Machamp appeared to be waiting for that moment as it swung one of it's fists around at him, and caught Grovyle in the side.
Thankfully it was just the Bullet Punch, which wasn't super effective like the Ice and Fire Punch would've been, but it was still a devestating hit that sent Grovyle flying across the arena to the other side.
"Grovyle!" I exclaimed worriedly.
"Gro..." He groaned painfully while trying to himself up, one of his hands on his side where he had been hit.
"Get out of the way!"
"CHAMP!"
*SMASH!*
Immediately after I tried to warn him, Machamp jumped through the air with all four of it's fists lit with flames to bring them down onto grovyle. Thankfully Grovyle managed to roll out of the way in time, only for Machamp to cave that entire area of the arena in through it's brute strength.
Just as I was relieved that Grovyle managed to avoid the attack, he hit the ground hard again and rolled several times before coming to a stop, allowing me to see the scorch marks on one side of his face. Apparently only three of Machamp's fists hit the ground, while the fourth had swung up to slap Grovyle as he tried to get away.
"Damn it..." I swore as my mind raced to try and figure out how to turn the tables. That Machamp was just too outrageous.
"Get up!" I roared at Grovyle, lest that Machamp try to attack him again.
Thankfully though the Machamp seemed to be taking it's time as it approached Grovyle, having seemingly already won with how one-sided the match had been so far.
"Gro...." Grovyle groaned as he struggled to his feet, refusing to stay down. As he rose though, his entire body suddenly began to shimmer with a green light as his aura started to skyrocket.
"Overgrow..." I uttered as a small hope kindled that we might be able to reverse the situation.
Overgrow was the ability that all grass type starters possessed, which would increase their strength, particularly their grass type moves, significantly when they were close to being defeated. But the surprises didn't stop there.
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVYLE!"
With a roar unlike anything I had ever heard from Grovyle before, there was suddenly a massive amount of energy being sucked out of Machamp that filled Grovyle's reserves and then some.
"Giga Drain..." I uttered once again, dumbfounded at the new move that he had learned.
While in the game Giga Drain was just a stronger version of Absorb and Mega Drain, in reality it was a move on par with Solar Beam as far as grass type mastery. Though not as powerful, Giga Drain was a double threat in that it not only sapped energy from whatever it was used on, but it also refueled the user's energy and even healed some of their wounds.
We all watched as the scorch marks on Grovyle's face began to rapidly fade, along with the injuries on his side. But the changes didn't stop there.
As the Giga Drain continued, and Grovyle absorbed more and more energy from Machamp, his body was soon engulfed in another brilliant glow that matched that of the glow Blastoise experienced earlier.
We watched as Grovyle grew several feet taller, and a large leafy tail sprouted from his backside, until the glow faded to reveal an entirely different form.
"Sceptile!"
Crying out while flexing his arms, Sceptile took a stance to once again enter the fray with his newfound strength.
"Champ." Machamp growled in irritation after having it's energy stolen from it, before tensing it's muscles in preparation for the next round.
"Alright! Lets go Sceptile!" I cried out in excitment from having yet ANOTHER one of my starter pokemon evolve. Now I had a fully evolved fire, water, AND grass type.
But I would have to wait until later to celebrate as I mentally ordered Sceptile to use Agility yet again. With how high his specs were after evolving, combined with the lingering affects of Overgrow, he should be quite the speed demon by now.
And I wasn't wrong as Sceptile vanished from his place and reappeared behind Machamp, delivering a powerful double Leaf Blade to it's exposed backside.
"Fuck yeah!" I exclaimed from FINALLY getting a real hit in on the Machamp, before Sceptile darted away while using Bullet Seed to pepper it from afar.
After that though, Sceptile used Quick Attack to move in close before Machamp could react and used Leaf Blade yet again, before doing the same a third time.
As I told him at the start of the match, he was using his speed to employ hit and run tactics without giving Machamp the chance to fight back. It also helped that Machamp had a large amoutn of energy taken from it thanks to Sceptile's Overgrow empowered Giga Drain.
But I could tell this match was far from over. The scars decorating Machamp weren't just for show, they depicted the MANY battles it had been in over the course of it's life. Some of them looked as if they even could have been life threatening.
'Don't let up, and don't let it catch you.' I mentally warned Sceptile, while using my aura to help him determine which direction Machamp's attention was focus when he attacked.
For a moment it looked as if we might actually win, which was unbelievable after how one-sided the battle had been earlier.
But then came the next shift.
Right as Sceptile darted into Machamp's blind spot for his next attack, he suddenly lost all of his momentum as two of Machamp's arms grasped him in a hold.
"Huh?" I uttered in surprise as Sceptile suddenly stopped, before trepidation filled me.
"Get out of there Sceptile!" I tried to order him, but Machamp's grip was too strong as Sceptile tried, and failed, to fight it.
Meanwhile Machamp's energy suddenly began to spike as it prepared to deal the finishing blow against my grass starter, and I realized what it had been doing for all this time.
While Sceptile and I had been focusing both of our attentions on the direction it was focusing to make sure Sceptile didn't get hit, Machamp had been purposely letting him attack it while building up energy for a single powerful attack, Revenge.
"MACHAMP!" The fighting type pokemon roared as it swung Sceptile up over it's head so that he was in front of him, before cocking back it's remaining two arms.
I could only watch helplessly as Machamp proceeded to lay into Sceptile with a series of punches that made use of all the energy it had built up from the numerous attacks Sceptile had dealt to it, dealing double the damage it had received in the past few minutes.
When the chain of attacks finally came to and end, Machamp released Sceptile's arms to deliver the last blow, sending him flying across the rings before coming to a stop at my feet. And once there Sceptile did not move.
"CHAMP!" It cried out victoriously, triggering an uproar amongst the pokemon around us as they celebrated their first victory over me and my pokemon. While they celebrated, I quickly let Chansey out so that she could tend to Sceptile's wounds until we could get him back to Joy.
"Take care of him Chansey." I told her seriously.
"Chansey Chansey!" She declared in an equally serious tone, promising to do just that.
"Now is it my turn?" Lucario asked as the Machamp stepped out of the arena, only to be replaced by the Primeape.
"No." I answered him, before proceeding to rip the cast off of my arm as I flexed my hand experimentally.
"It's my turn."
