Capítulo 71: First true challenge
"AAAAAH!" the grunt screamed in pain after his legs were broken but I ignored it as I had Tank wrap him up in string shot silk from the chest down. "Was that really necessary? Not to say that I'm not grateful for your rescue but this is rather excessive isn't it?" the Devon employee said with concern as he looked at the screaming grunt. "I'm a healer so I can be a little rougher than needed to ensure the criminal doesn't escape." I said with a reassuring smile. The man sighed in relief "What a relief! Again I can't thank you enough for the help!" he said gratefully.-
"Here , this can't compare to the value of my papers but it's the least I can give you for your help!" the man said while handing over a pokeball with a blue and red top , a great ball. "Do you want an escort out of the woods or do you think you can handle it from here while I take this one to the nearest officer?" I asked and the man shook his head. "I never did find a Shroomish so I think I'll stay a bit longer , thank you for your help though!" the man said with a grateful smile.-
I nodded before walking over to the screaming grunt and healing his legs back to normal before tossing him over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Oi! Lemme go you bastard! Just you wait nobody crosses team aqua you'll see!" the grunt yelled while squirming but I ignored it. Thankfully we were pretty close to the edge of the forest so it didn't take me long to reach the neatly flattened dirt road that led to Rustboro. There were a whole bunch of new trainers on the side of the road battling or looking for a good opponent.-
Nearly all of them saw my team and immediately noped out of my way after recognizing the vast power gap between their teams and mine. I ignored the stares I was getting and found the nearest officer or rather they found me. Someone had used their pokenav to inform the police what they saw so an officer was sent out to investigate. "What's going on here!?" the jenny yelled from the Dodrio she was riding on. "This guy is a member of the criminal group known as team aqua and tried to rob a member of the Devon corp in the woods before I captured him." I explain calmly.-
"You are going to be challenging the Rustboro gym correct?" the jenny asked seriously and I nodded. "Then leave the suspect here with me and make sure you don't leave the city for the next week an officer will find you if there is a problem." she said and I dropped the dude on my shoulder like a bad habit. "I'll be going now." I said as I started to walk away. The jenny looked like she wanted to say something but chose to remain silent and watched as I left.-
I didn't waste the opportunity provided by the newbie trainers on this road and started challenging as many as I could to battle with Rune. It was almost funny how many of the trainer double checked to make sure that I would ONLY be using Rune. I wasn't all that surprised to find that most of those that accepted to battle did so because they were using water types but they were in for a rude awakening since they thought they had a type advantage.-
If Rune wasn't a shiny electric variant Charmander they would be right but unfortunately he was and they quickly learned how deceptive appearances could be. Rune didn't get much experience from those battles as he basically one shot those pokemon. The first real challenge for us was a guy with a Seedot. It was pretty clear to me from how he didn't shy away from my challenge that he was fairly confident. Like usual I balled up Rune and stood twenty paces away from the guy to imitate an official battlefield. "Rune , set!" I called once the referee in the form of another trainer started the match.-
Rune appeared on the field at the same moment as the guys Seedot that to be honest just looked like an acorn with legs and eyes the size of a basketball. "Swords dance!" I called seriously after seeing the level on that pokemon , twenty four. "Amnesia!" the guy called out and I mentally cursed. Rune was a special attack specialist so the Seedot getting a double up on special defense practically halved the damage of his moves. Swords dance was actually meant to make the guy think that Rune preferred physical attacks but clearly that plan failed.-
"Thunderwave!" I called out hurriedly and the guy frowned as the energy hit the Seedot and paralysis took hold. "Harden!" the guy called but the Seedot twitched to show the paralysis was acting up. "Thunder shock!" I commanded and the guy frowned even deeper before he seemed to figure out why my Charmander was using electric type moves instead of fire. It was far too late for that though as the arc of electricity struck the motionless pokemon. "SEEE!" the mon cried in pain when hit and it's paralysis worsened. Yes it can get worse unlike in the games if the body is flooded with enough energy.-
Basic paralysis is inconvenient but not un workable but the worse it gets the less chance of pulling out any moves at all until finally it kills you if the body is saturated enough. The reason for this sudden jump in danger is because of what the energy is effecting at any time. If given too much energy the paralysis takes hold of the heart and well that tends to be fatal last time I checked. Of course by league regulation in a trainer battle no more than three bouts of paralysis inducing moves were allowed before the affected pokemon needs to purge the energy or forfeit.-
"Synthesis!" the guy called with a frown. It was a brilliant move on his part as by using synthesis the Seedot sped up it's metabolism thus burning through the stored electric type energy much faster than normal. "Double thunder shock!" I called and Rune obeyed. Two more burn marks appeared on the grass type and it was recalled as the guy knew it reached the league limit and I wasn't going to allow him to purge the energy. "That was just bad luck , you actually gave me a bit of trouble by choosing to use amnesia at the start." I said with a smile as I took the prize money.-
"And I thought your Charmander was merely a strange looking royal variant but it turned out to be a mew damned triple variant of all things! Where did you even find a monster like that?" the guy asked with a smile showing he wasn't sour over his loss. "Rune here actually came to me believe it or not , same with my entire team now that I think about it." I said with a grin.
