Chapter 8

The sun was starting to set as Chris walked to the battle pier ,Chris was extremely excited as this would be his first battle.

"this is gonna be great"Chris thought to himself


A few minutes later Chris arrived at the battle pier ,it was a great big thing made of wood and steel,and there  were lots of battle pitches all over it.Chris walked over to the Entrance,a small man was sitting in a little cubicle thing,handing out emission tickets.

"excuse me,do you know how much it costs to get in?"asked Chris

"its free"explained the little old man

"ok then"replied Chris

"how many Pokemon do you have with you?"asked the man

"I have three"answered Chris

The old man handed Chris three emission and told Chris to go to the far battle pitch at the end of the pier.

Chris did so,as he walked there he walked past many other trainers batteling their Pokemon against someone else.

As Chris came nearer to the pitch he saw someone standing at one side of the pitch,it looked as though the person wanted to battle him.

Chris approached the pitch,the peson seemed even bigger now,he was wearing a black leather  jacket and a t-shirt with a red letter R on it he also had a cigarette,he looked awfully familiar.

"who are you"asked Chris

"I'm Mark,I wanna give you a battle"he replied

"sure"said Chris

Chris walked to his trainer square and Mark walked to his,Chris was sure he'd seen this man before,he reconised his evil eyes,that's when it hit him,It was the man that shot him!

"how about a three on three"asked the man

"ok,then"replied Chris as the rage built inside him,he clenched his fists and then picked out a pokeball.

"Pokeball go!"Shouted Chris and Mark at the same time,Chris' ball flew into the air and opened while Mark's ball landed on the floor and opened.

Two silvery figures appeared,they slowly changed colour and turned into their Pokemon form.

Chris' Taillow hovered In the air while Marks's Rattata took a battle pose on the ground.

"taillow,that's the git that shot me and you,do everything you can to beat him,and when we have beaten him,ive got a surprise for him!"whispered Chris to Taillow.

"rattata,Use hyper Fang!"ordered the TR member Mark

"dodge it Taillow!"shouted Chris

The tiny little rat pokemon jumped into the air with its teeth bearing trying to bite into Taillow,but Taillow was way too fast for the little rat.

"now use a quick attack"Ordered Chris

"try and dodge it" Commanded Mark

Taillow Flew high into the air to pick up spped.Taillow Came plummeting down as fast as it could,the rattata tried to dodge it but it was too late,Taillow slammed its beak right into Rattata,knocking it down immediately .
"Return,you weak rat"said Mark as he plucked the pokeball from his belt and called back his Rattata.

"now for my second pokemon,This won't be as easy to beat"Chuckled Mark

"ok then,here we go,Pokeball go"shouted Mark

The Pokeball flew into the air and opened up,a sliver figure appeared,the sliver slowly faded and revealed a Charmander.

"ok,good job Taillow,Return!,pokeball go!"Said Chris as he Called back Taillow and threw another pokeball.

"poli,poli"said the happy Poliwag as it came out of its ball.

"Charmander use Flamethrower"ordered Mark

The red lizard pokemon Charmander took a deep breath ,sucking lots of air,Then the Charmender breathed out releasing a flamethrower attack.
The red hot flames headed straight for poliwag,the little tadpole pokemon ran around in circles as the flames followed it.

"poliwag! Use a water gun on the ground"Shouted Chris to his struggling Pokemon.

Poliwag took a deep breath,taking in moisture from the air and then released a large water gun attack on the ground.
The little pokemon was shot into the air.

"now Poliwag,Use another water gun on Charmander"Ordered Chris

Poliwag once again released a large water gun attack,The stream of water headed straight for Charmander,the little lizard had no time to move and the water gun  hit it right on its tail making it faint.

"return Charmander"Said Mark as he took The pokemon's pokeball and returned it.

"good job Poliwag,that was great,Return!"said Chris as the red beam from the pokeball sucked Poliwag inside.

"now for last Pokemon,Pokeball go!"shouted Mark from the other side of the pitch.

The pokeball flew through the air and landed dead in the center,the ball opened and once again a silver figure appeared, it slowly faded and a Venasaur appeared.

"What the…"stammered Chris

"Hmmm,this is gonna be tough,grass are weak against flying so Taillow is my best bet"said Chris to himself.

"I choose you!….Taillow"Shouted Chris as the ball flew into the air and opened.
"Taillow use peck"Commanded Chris

Taillow Flew over to Venasaur and landed on top of its head and started pecking,This irritated Venasaur so it tried to shake Taillow off ,but had no luck.

"Venasur use vine whip and constrict that stupid bird"shouted Mark

Two vines appeared coming from the flower on Venasaur's back,The two vines came down and grabbed hold of Taillow,the vines became tighter and tighter hurting taillow badly.

"Stop It"Shouted Chris

"you want me to stop kid?,no way! I'm only just getting started!"Said Mark Evilly

"venasaur throw that thing to the ground and then use body slam"Ordered Mark

The Giant venasaur threw Taillow to the ground and then threw its great heavy body on top of him.

The venasaur got back up of Taillow  and went back and sat down.

"Taillow!"Shouted Chris as he ran over to the Injured Taillow.

"its ok now Taillow,its gonna be ok" Reassured Chris

"and you!,You should be ashamed of your self"Shouted Chris to Mark

Chris laid the taillow onto the floor and then ran at Mark,he had his fists clenched,he was ready for a fight.Chris ran up to the TR member and punched him right in the stomach,but this just angered the TR member.
Mark pulled back his fist and punched Chris right in the face ,Chris stumbled back and fell o the floor holding his face.

While this was happening the two of them didn't realise what was happening behind them,The injured Taillow was glowing a magnificent silver,It was evolving .

Its tail grew a lot longer and his body quadrupled in size,it had evolved into a swellow.

The TR man continued to hit Chris ,The pain was awful,Chris was going in and out of conscience.

The proud Swellow saw what was happening and flew into the air,Swellow circled round for a few seconds and then dived head first at Mark.

Swellow Came plummeting down and hit the rocket right on the head knocking him out completely.

Swellow then landed next to Chris and pecked his two pokeballs which had fallen onto the floor in the fight,the balls opened and Poliwag and Chikorita came out.

Swellow explained to the two pokemon what was happening and what to do,and then they got to work..

Chikorita used its vine whip to lift up the rocket,and Swellow picked Chris up by his shoulders,while poliwag managed to get the venasaur back into its pokeball.

Swellow,Chikorita and poliwag took Chris and the rocket to the police station.
