Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 31 - Electabuzz



Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader to a pokemon battle"

Girl 1 "Sir do you like perfume?"

Julian "Well I don't use any but I don't dislike them either, I think they smell nice"

Girl 1 "Any person who likes perfume is welcomed inside the gym, sir please wait near the battle arena I will go and call the gym leader for you"

Julian "works for me"

Julian walks inside and heads towards the battle arena when he reaches there he looks around to see that the battlefield is a simple one and there is nothing he can use for his advantage

Julian 'I will use Elekid in this battle even though he will have a type disadvantage it might help him simulate his evolution into Electabuzz then I will have to find an electirizer so that he can evolve further into Electivire'

While Julian is pondering how to battle and making a strategy, A lady walks in with blue hair, dark green eyes, and a blue bodycon style uniform she is, of course, the gym leader of Celadon gym Erika, when she looks at Julian she is surprised by how handsome Julian is but she gets back to her track as she has to perform her duty, she walks and stands across the battlefield and waits for Julian.

Seeing that Erika is already here Julian also walks towards the battlefield and takes his stance.

Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a pokemon battle"

Erika "I gym leader of Celadon gym accept your challenge, But first the rules we both will use three pokemons, unlike me, you will be able to switch pokemons during our match"

Julian "I understand"

Erika "Then lets start, go Tangela"

Julian "Come on out Elekid"

Elekid comes out with arrogance on his face as he generates Electricity between his two horns

Erika "Aren't you a little overconfident by using an electric type pokemon against my grass type?"

Julian "It's not overconfidence, my Elekid just likes hard challenges"

Elekid also shows off his powers by generating more electricity between his horns after listening to Julian to intimidate his opponent but Tangela doesn't get fazed by it

Erika "We will see about that, Tangela use vine whip and grab on to Elekid"

Julian "Elekid dodge then use swift"

Elekid dodges the coming vine whips towards him and sends out multiple star-shaped projectiles towards Tangela

Erika "Tangela counter it with sludge bomb"

The swifts and sludge bomb colids together creating multiple explosion, Julian doesn't waste any time and continues

Julian "Elekid quick thundershock"

Elekid quickly sends out a zap of electricity towards Tangela hitting it, even though Tangela gets hurt it is not very effective, but there are still some after effects of thundershock as Tangela is covered by lite amount of electricity which activates every 15 seconds and zapping Tangela a little but it doesn't do a lot of damage.

Elekid "Even though that thundershock is strong it cannot cause critical damage to my Tangela"

Julian "The battle has just started let us continue, Elekid use swift again"

Erika "Counter it again using sludge bomb"

Julian "Use thundershock now"

Erika "You think you can pull off the same move again, Tangela quickly dodge then use vine whip and drag Elekid"

Tangela dodges the thundershock and uses vine whips and gets a hold of Elekid and slowly starts to drag Elekid towards it

Erika "What are you going to do now?"

She smiles and looks at Julian but she suddenly starts to frown seeing that Julian is smiling widely instead of getting worried, she then suddenly realizes but it was too late

Julian "Now Elekid shock wave"

Erika "Quick Tangela let go of Elekid"

But Elekid doesn't give a chance to Tangela and holds the vine whip with his hands and suddenly sends out shock wave which at the same time hits Tangela when the after-effects of the previous thundershock flare again but this time it becomes more powerful because of the shock wave simulating it causing Tangela to suffer a massive amount of shock immediately making it unable to battle.

Erika "You were actually waiting for that after effect to flare up again so you can simulate it to make it more powerful"

Julian "Well you are right but you figgered it out a little too late"

Erika "I have to admit that your Elekid is indeed strong"

Julian "Elekid, you did great"

Elekid, hearing Julian prase him arrogantly puffs his chest and bangs it with one of his arms then suddenly he starts to glow

Julian 'Who would have thought that just praising him a little would have simulated the evolution, but it a good thing'

Julian couldn't do anything but shake his head seeing that it only took single praise to evolve his Elekid when Elekid finally stopped glowing he was bigger stronger and had gained a little more arrogance he was a little bigger than a normal Electabuzz standing 1.3 meters tall.

Julian 'Looks like my special training and care can turn any pokemon stronger and bigger haha, System display Eletabuzz's stats'

Julian 'Looks like Shock Wave and Thundershock has been upgraded and he even learned two new move Brick Break and Iron Tail'

Seeing Julian's Elekid evolve into Electabuzz Erika becomes a little nervous as she already thought that Elekid was powerful but now he looks more powerful.

Erika "Go Weepinbell"

Julian "Eletabuzz lets continue"

Erika "Weepinbell use razor leaf"

Julian "Counter it with Thunderbolt"

Electabuzz sends out a large amount of electricity towards the upcoming razor leaves and burns it completely

Erika "Weepinbell spread sleeping power all over the battlefield"

Weepinbell spreads the sleeping power all over the battlefield and waits for Electabuzz to fall asleep but her surprise Erika sees that Eletabuzz is not affected by the sleeping powder

Erika "But how?"

Erika cannot believe one of her very effective moves didn't work

Julian "Electabuzz has an ability called vital spirit which prevents it from falling asleep"

Erika doesn't know what to do because of she tries to come in contact with Electabuzz the same fate will fall upon Weepinbell as happened to Tangela, Julian also didn't give any time for her to come up with a new strategy as it will simply extend the battle which he didn't like

Julian "Electabuzz use quick attack"

Erika who was still thinking of a way to fight back didn't get a chance to command Weepinbell as it was too late as Electabuzz sent Weepinbell flying back

Julian "Now finish it off with Thunderbolt"

While Weepinbell was still in the air it was again attacked by a huge thunderbolt causing it to faint.

Erika called back her Weepinbell to its Pokeball and was now was ready to send out her third and final pokemon.

Erika "Go Gloom"

Julian 'this is going to be troublesome if Electabuzz smells the stench that comes out of it pistils'

Julian "Electabuzz keep your distance from gloom"

Erika didn't expect Julian had already warned his pokemon about the danger but she should have expected that as Julian from the beginning was fighting using his brain, her only chance is to win is to get Gloom near Electabuzz.

Erika "Gloom use acid"

Julian "Dodge"

Electabuzz dodges the coming acid as it falls on the ground causing the ground to bubble and rot.

Julian 'These acid attacks are really potent and can put most of the pokemon in huge trouble'

Erika "Gloom now get near Electabuzz while its distracted"

Julian "Electabuzz always has his attention on his opponent even if he is not looking, he is never distracted, Electabuzz send it back using swift"

Gloom gets hit by multiple swift and sends it rolling back

Julian "Let's finish this, use thunderbolt"

Electabuzz sends a powerful Thunderbolt at Gloom who is still on the ground.

Erika "Gloom try to dodge"

But its no use as the thunderbolt already reached gloom and electrocutes it causing it to faint, Julian had easily won the battle after Elekid evolving and from there it was really a one-sided battle.

Erika sends Gloom back and gives Julian the Rainbow Badge, Julian takes the badge and walks out of the gym.

Julian 'I already have seven badges but the eighth badge will be very difficult as the last badge is in Veridian city and Giovanni being the leader I have to defeat Mewtwo, its good that I have Gengar and Mewtwo is still severally lacking as its still forcefully controlled by the machine attached to it limiting it battle potential, lets forget about it now, three months have passed since I started my journey and it will come to a finish soon then another will begin soon after, I will travel everywhere in this world and if possible even outside this planet but for that there is still a long time'
