章節 49: Chapter 47: First Gym Challenge P.3

Ark watched Shellders body flop down onto the floor. Although 'Dig' is a ground type move, it still has the added bonus of collision. Having something as large as Onix crash into you, is enough to break a grown mans body, if not more.

His face winced in pain as he witnessed the damage Shellder had incurred, however he didn't call it back. Ark watched Shellders expression and noticed a deep determination in its eyes. Instantly, Ark felt the resolve to continue on burning brightly in Shellders very being.

"Don't take that lying down Shellder, use 'Water Gun' again"

Shellder shot out a torrent of water aimed towards Onixs' head. The bolted forward but missed as Onix twisted it's head.

Ark clicked his tongue at the surprising manoeuvrability of Onix.

"Onix, use 'Tackle'"

Onix rushed towards Shellder, it's speed much slower than when it was underground however the likelihood of Shellder dodging from such a close proximity was small. Realising this, Ark chose a different move.

"Shellder, quickly use 'Withdraw'"

Shellder closed it's shell and shut it tight. Its movement became static but it's defense became stronger as it got more compact.

Onix crashed into Shellder directly from the front, sending it flying back into a rock. Noticing the intensity of the charge, Ark took a swift gamble.

"Shellder! Use 'Water Gun'!"

He didn't know if Shellder was able to, or whether he even heard him. He only hoped that at the very least, Shellder could get one hit on Onix. It would leave a bad taste in his mouth if not.

Shellders shell snapped open revealing it's bright eyes, immediately after it's shell opened, a powerful torrent of water, much more powerful than those before shot towards Onix. It's power was so fast that Onix could not react to the speed, causing a direct hit on the head. Onix's head snapped backwards as it fell, the ground shook as it impacted against the floor.

Silence dominated the battlefield as dust clouds covered the scene. Arks eyes stared in the direction Shellder flew off. His heart pounding as he anxiously waited to see the status of his partner.

Eventually the dust cleared to Reveal Onix slowly lifting itself up whilst Shellder laid on the ground with it's eyes closed. Arks heart sunk as he saw the condition of his partner, it was an intense clash, one that gave him cold sweats.

"Shellder is unable to battle! Ark, it is 1 vs 1 now, very commendable for a first try, so please don't get so down once this is over"

Ark held his tongue at Brocks comment, it may have been consoling, however to Ark it sounded more like condescension. Without replying, Ark retrieved Sylphs Pokeball. Placing all of his hopes into his childhood partner, Ark threw out her Pokeball.

As soon as Sylph appeared, she looked back at Ark, her eyes clear, no fear present. Ark smiled when he saw this, it helped calm down his beating heart.

"Begin!"

Brock sounded the start of the battle.

With his heart beat now calmed, Ark smiled as he gave Sylph her first instruction.

"Sylph, get it going"

Again with the vague commands, however Sylph immediately took action. She started running around the battlefield in a slight zigzag pattern. Her speed was still visible to the eye however it was astonishing for her small legs.

"Onix, use 'Dig'"

Brock planned to use the same strategy as last time, since it was an efficient way of dealing with small Pokemon.

A small smirk spread across Arks face.

"Sylph, dodge it when it goes to come up, then use 'Disarming voice'"

His demeanor was calm despite not knowing where Onix would come up from.

Brock frowned slight at the unusual calm that oozed from Ark. However, he continued forward, determined to win this battle fast.

The ground began to rumble below Sylph as she put effort into running whilst staying stable. Dirt and rock flew into the air as Onix burst through the crust of the battlefield, it's head violently tearing through all in it's path.

Brock smiled as it watched Onix come above ground. Instantaneously, his smile froze as he watched the scene.

As soon as Sylph felt the ground below her move slightly, she teleported to the right side of the battlefield. Her momentum carried on as she changed direction and launched a 'Disarming Voice' towards Onix. The sound waves shot at Onix without interruption, colidding with the side of it's head. Just like last time, Onixs head flew back slightly causing it's snake like body to fall to the ground. Tremors shook the battlefield as Sylph continued to move about the battlefield. Her expression was serious as she waited fr the next move, not a moment of complacency was seen in her movements.

"Good Job, Sylph. Perfect execution"

Ark spoke with pride as he smiled with glee. Unlike with Shellder, speedy movements and dodges were what Sylph had focused on. Not only that, the first time they used the new application of teleport turned out to be a raging success.

Before Ark could get too happy, Onix started to stir. It's movements were sluggish but it managed to lift itself up and oppose Sylph once more.

"A stubborn one huh?"

Ark clicked his tongue at the tenacious attitude of Onix. While it was a commendable trait, when you're the opponent, it's nothing more than an annoyance.

"Onix, use 'Wrap'"

Onix pulled it's body towards Sylph and reached out with it's tail. Noticing this, Sylph took evasive manouveurs using teleport. She waited for the tail to get as close as possible before dodging in a completely different direction. Since Onix was injured, it was a breeze for Sylph to evade its feeble attempts at the 'Wrap' attack.

"Lets end this Sylph, use 'Confusion'"

Sylphs movements stopped as a purple aura radiated from her body. She faced the charging Onix and held her arms out wide. A purple glow appeared around Onix as its movements ceased.

"Onix, break free! Shake your body as much as you can!"

As Brock witnessed Sylphs attack, a small voice in the back of his mind screamed danger. Thus, he immediately made Onix try to free itself. Alas, the giant rock snake could not break free. Sylphs firm control held it in place.

"Sylph lift it up high, do it slowly"

Sylph nodded as she raised her arms slowly, Onix's body followed, defying the laws of gravity. As soon as Sylph lifted it high enough, Ark calmly spoke an order.

"Drop it. Then use a continued barrage of 'Disarming Voice'"

Sylph cancelled her 'Confusion' causing Onix to start falling down towards the ground. It twisted violently in an attempt to shield it's landing, alas Sylph had other plans.

She launched concentrated 'Disarming Voices' at Onix, continuously battering different parts of its body as Onix roared in pain.

"Onix! No!"

Brock cried out in fear as he watched Onix crash onto the ground. Cracks forming across the ground where it landed.

"Make the call Brock"

Ark spoke calmly as he watched over the devastation. He felt that it may have been slight overkill towards the end, however Ark knew that in battles, it is better safe than sorry.

Brock stared at Onix for a few seconds before calming his distorted breathing.

"Onix is unable to battle, Sylph is the winner. This means the match goes to Trainer Ark"

With that announcement, a bright smile grew across Arks face as he held out his arms. Sylph immediately teleported to Ark and jumped into his embrace. Sheer joy radiated from the two.

As the two were celebrating, a gobsmacked Jenny walked down from the balcony and approached Ark.

"You actually did it! And in such a strange way"

Jenny joined the duo in their hug as she spoke her disbelief to Ark. Although she had no real notable interactions with Brock, his strength was widely known. Therefore, Jenny found it hard to digest the fact that the guy who was beaten up by a Scyther in the forest managed to best Brock in what was a terrific battle.

"Of course I did. Sadly, we lost Shellder but the two of them did amazing. Had I been a bit more experienced, I probably could have won with just Shellder."

Ark spoke the last part of his sentence as a whisper in Jennys ear. He was not afraid of causing trouble, however he had respect for Brock and felt only scumbags trash talk especially after such a thrilling fight.

While Ark and Jenny were hugging like a family with Sylph squeezed in between, Brock recalled his fainted Onix and approached them.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a small object.

"Congratulations Ark, you bested me fair and square. It seems I still have a lot to learn about Pokemon, so I thank you. As for your win, this is yours, the Boulder badge"

Ark separated from Jenny and reached his hand out, taking the badge from Brock.

"It was a good battle Brock, I will see you around"

With those parting words, Ark and Jenny left after he recalled Sylph into her ball. Their next destination, the Pokemon Center.


章節 50: Chapter 48: Basking in victory

Ark and Jenny took a slow stroll towards the Pokemon Center. Their mood was vibrant as the sweet sensation of victory comfortably wrapped around them.

"By the way, when do you have to be back?"

As much as Ark wished to stay with Jenny, he knew she was working on something right now. Therefore, he did not want to keep her held up for too long since if left alone the work would pile up and eat away at even more of their alone time.

Jenny seemed to be on the same page as she released a tired sigh and buried her head into Arks shoulder.

"Walk me to the station after you've dropped off your Pokemon, I still have stuff to do"

Jennys voice lacked any motivation as she spoke about work, as did Arks reply.

"Ok, that's fine. We still need to celebrate though so how about this weekend?"

Jenny immediately nodded her head with a happy smile.

"Sounds good. I will hold you to that, there will be hell to pay if you forget it"

A shiver ran down Arks spine as he heard the end of Jennys statement. His basic survival instincts made activated his 'Sage Mind' causing the information of the event to be permanently saved in his long term memory.

"I promise, let's head to the Center still then. I am sure Sylph and Shellder are really wanting some rest and treatment right now"

The two carried on forward, hand in hand.

When they got to the Pokemon Center, they met Nurse Joy at the front desk who stared at the duo with a look of pure disbelief. As the Head Officer in Pewter City, Jenny and Nurse Joy were in constant contact and knew each other as though they were best friends. Therefore, Joy could not believe her eyes as she saw Jenny leaning into a mans shoulder so openly, not only that, it was the rookie trainer Ark.

"Hey, Nurse Joy! Good news!"

Startled by the sudden address, Joy reset her expression and displayed her usual friendly smile. While her curiosity was still eating at her, she knew that Jenny would probably explain after Ark had stated his news.

"Good news? What news do you have, Ark?"

Many guesses circulated around in Joys mind as she watched Arks vibrant expression and Jenny's loving smile. One in particular seemed to stick out to Joy the most, that being... A baby. The intimacy shown by the two meant their relationship had advanced, so it wouldn't be strange if they did come with news of a baby on the way.

"I'm sure you remember where I went earlier today. I had my first gym battle."

Joys eyes widened slightly as she recalled the early hours meeting she had with Ark as he left for his gym battle. Embarrassed by her presumptions, Joys cheeks reddened slightly as she noticed Jenny snickering out of the corner of her eye.

"You had your battle already?"

Ark nodded at the red-cheeked Joys question. He spotted the change in Nurse Joys behaviour however decided not to get involved after glancing at the mischievous smile on Jenny's face. Some things were safer staying out of.

"Yes, I can safely say that my Gym Challenge Journey has begun, with this."

He extended his hand out with a small badge in his palm. When Joy looked down at the outstretched hand, she gasped in shock. Although she saw how happy Ark was, she did not think he could beat Brock on his first attempt even with a type advantage.

"You really beat Brock?"

Disbelief staining her face, she turned to Jenny for confirmation to find the same mischievous smile but this time it had a deep pride within it.

"Yeah, he should probably be by with his Pokémon in a bit. For now, could you take mine?"

After handing over his Pokemon, Ark turned around to leave with Jenny in tow. Just as they were about to walk away, Nurse Joy called out to Jenny.

"Officer Jenny, I will call you later regarding an important matter"

Jenny nodded, her smile never leaving her face.

"Of course, it will be a detailed discussion"

Whilst the girls cryptic talk was oncoming, Ark looked up at the roof of the building, wishing they'd have this conversation elsewhere.

Jenny and Ark were walking towards the station, the time of day was slowly approaching dusk as people finished work.

"Do you really have to go back even though it's getting late?"

Despite knowing the answer, Ark couldn't help asking.

"I have a few things to finish before my shift is over. At least this way, I get quite a bit of time off on the weekends so I don't feel like complaining much:

Tightening his grip on her hand, Ark didn't reply. He knew that any more comments would be childish.

Standing outside the station, the couple held each other in silence, enjoying the warmth between them.

"I'll come pick you up on Saturday okay?"

Ark spoke as he nuzzled his face into her hair. Jenny pulled her head back before placing her lips on top of his in response.

Alone on the streets, Arks steps were light as he thought over the eventful day. Not only did he get to spend time with Jenny, he managed to beat Brock and see the fruits of his training. He walked the same path he had done many times today yet no matter how many times he did, he never got bored of the sights. Even back in Pallet, he enjoyed the sights every morning, the days seemed to always been bright even when it was raining and the atmosphere always seemed pleasant.

Eventually, Ark stepped into the Pokemon Center, heading straight towards the food court. His stomach grumbles as he saw a few people sat down eating, the luscious scent of freshly cooked food filling his nostrils. Following the enticing scent, Ark walked to the counter, his mind already deciding what sort of dish he would order today.

One of the many questions that Ark refused to find the answer to was actually how food was made and it's ingredients. It may seem like him lacking the guts to inquire, however he knew that if he heard an answer he did not like, he may have to stop eating all together or sign up for an only berry diet. Especially if Grass Pokemon were used in vegetarian dishes, it would likely scar him for life.

"I'd like the daily special please"

Ordering at the counter, Ark waited patiently for his food. As he was later than usual, there were quite a few empty tables.

"Coming right up Ark, go take a seat and Chansey will bring it out for you"

Nurse Joy spoke to Ark with a smile. Ever since witnessing Arks relationship with Jenny, she decided to treat the rookie trainer with a bit more favouritism. After all, the quicker he got stronger, the happier Jenny would be.

"Thanks Nurse Joy"

Ark located a table and sat down. Reaching into thin air, he pulled out one of the books that he picked up at the store. It's title read 'PokeTech Vol 1' and was a descriptive guide that featured all of the most commonly found technology that trainer will use. Whilst he had the basic understanding, Ark wanted to find out the inner workings of tools such as Pokeballs. The mystery behind it made him curious as to how it even worked, after all it was similar to his Pocket Storage yet it could store living beings and had it's own flow of time. His thoughts were inclined to finding out how it worked and hopefully using that information to create an efficient way of linking his Storage together with his bag or using it for something slightly more special.

Whilst Ark was deep into his reading, he failed to notice a certain individual was watching him.
