Chapter
4- Pokémon Vs. Predator
(
“Here
it comes!” Ash yelled. The pokéball 001 threw hit the ground and opened. In a
bright flash of light, a pokémon materialized, a large pokémon. It there it
stood, over two metres high, a fully trained, powerful Tyranitar…
“A
Tyranitar…!” Brock gasped, “No… not just any Tyranitar… it’s huge!” he
exclaimed. He was right. Being a breeder, he was able to tell the strength of
pokémon by looking at it, and this Tyranitar was incredible, “It’s got to be at
least level 100!”
“Level
100, eh?” Ash answered, then turned his cap and threw his pokéballs, “Then we
can’t afford to hold back… not even one bit! Everybody! Go!”
The
pokéballs opened up, adding Totodile, Noctowl, Cyndaquil, the last of Ash’s
six-pokémon deck to the battle.
“None
of you may be as strong as him” Ash said to the pokémon, “But let’s show him
the power of teamwork!” Misty and Brock had already called out their pokémon,
so they were set. “Everybody… attack!” Ash yelled
“ATTACK!”
001 Shouted. Before the pokémon could react to Ash’s command, Tyranitar
charged, flailing his arms and tail wildly, breaking the group apart and
scattering them. “Heh, alright Tyranitar! Use Mega Punch!” 001 called out
Tyranitar
roared, and charged. He swung his massive fist and slammed Bayleef into a tree
and smashing right through it.
“AH!
No! Bayleef!” Ash yelled
“He
took it out in one hit!” Brock gasped
“Alright!
Now slam that Kingler!” 001 pointed at the giant crab.
“Kingler!
Quickly, crab-hammer the face before…!” Ash didn’t even have to finish the sentence
for Kingler to get the point. Quickly, he smacked the Tyranitar in the face
with the heavy claw. Tyranitar was surprised by the blow and stumbled.
“And
opening!” Misty yelled. Every pokémon on the field fired an attack, and they
all flew towards the giant pokémon’s back.
“Tyranitar!
Use rage!” 001 commanded. Tyranitar stood upright as each attack slammed him on
the back, hurting him, but not necessarily harming it.
“No!”
Ash yelled
Tyranitar
turned around and growled. That round of attacks just made it stronger.
“We’re
dead…” Ash shook
“No,
wait a minute Ash! If Tyranitar’s doing a rage attack, then he’s gone berserk
and 001 won’t be able to control it!” Brock told him
001
crossed his arms and smiled “It’s only like that for you rookie trainers. I
trained mine specially to obey me, no matter what!” He laughed, “Tyranitar!
Crush these insects!” He pointed at Onix, “Begin with that Onix!” Tyranitar
roared and charged.
“Onix!
Hurry! DIG!” Brock yelled. Onix dived into the ground quickly, barely dodging
Tyranitar.
“You
think that’ll save you?” 001 spoke, “Well guess again! Use FISSURE!” Tyranitar
roared and with all his might, he literally ripped the ground apart. The ground
split and looked like an earthquake had torn it up. “All right Tyranitar! GET
HIM!” 001 laughed. Tyranitar dived into the deep crevice. Some roaring could be
heard, from both Onix and Tyranitar. There was a loud smashing sound. “Good
work Tyranitar! Now seismic toss that snake!” Tyranitar jumped out of the
darkness of the deep cleft, holding Onix over his head. With all his might,
Tyranitar hurled the rock snake to the ground.
“ONIX!
NO!” Brock yelled and ran to the injured pokémon. Onix was all cracked and
hurt. There were numerous chunks missing from the rocks and the body was
covered with scratches “Onix! Speak to me!”
Onix
let out a weak groan, indicating that it was still alive, although not very
much.
“Onix…”
Brock spoke sadly. This was the second time Onix had been pulverized by a
Tyranitar. Brock’s sad expression changed into an angry one, “Tyranitar! You’re
going to pay for that! PINECO! EXPLOSION!”
“What?!”
Ash gasped
“He’s
not gonna…!” Misty spoke
Brock
held the glowing pokémon over his head, and hurled it at Tyranitar like a bomb.
Pineco hit Tyranitar in the face, followed by a huge explosion.
“WA!”
Ash yelled, turning his head and covering his face from the smoke
“GYA!”
Misty also yelled and covered her eyes.
001
didn’t say anything. He just stood there and growled. The smoke cleared, and
Tyranitar was still strong, well standing anyways. It held one hand over a
wound on its right arm, and it’s left eye was closed. The entire left side of
its face had been burned. Some of the spikes on his head and a few on his back
were chipped or broken off.
“Amazing!
Brock knew that no attack could defeat Tyranitar completely, so he used a
kamikaze to weaken him!” Ash exclaimed
“That
attack was a critical hit and must have taken away a lot of Tyranitar’s HP!”
“It’ll
take more than that to take Tyranitar down! Use fury attack!” 001 yelled
Tyranitar
flailed his limbs and thrashed wildly. The pokémon were sent flying everywhere.
“Grrr!”
Ash growled. Tyranitar swung his arm and smacked Crobat out of the air like a
fly. The only one he hadn’t hit was Totodile.
“Tyranitar!
Stomp!” 001 yelled. Tyranitar raised his foot, ready to stomp the little
pokémon flat.
“Totodile,
bite him!” Ash yelled. Tyranitar stomped his foot to the ground, but Totodile
moved, then jumped up and bit Tyranitar hard on the shin. Tyranitar roared in
annoyance. The bite hadn’t really hurt him, but it was very irritating.
Tyranitar tried to shake Totodile off, but its jaws were locked on.
As
Tyranitar was occupied with Totodile, the others who had been hit were quickly
recovering. “Geodude, do you think you’re up for another battle?” asked Brock
“GEO!”
It responded
“Perfect!”
Brock snapped his fingers
“And
could you handle another fight Staryu?” Misty asked. She got the same answer
Brock got from Geodude.
Ash
watched Tyranitar try to shake Totodile off. Totodile’s jaws were starting to
ache and he was sweating.
“Staryu!
Attack from behind with double edge!”
“Geodude!
Use a mega punch!”
Tyranitar
turned his head and saw the two pokémon flying at him. He swung one arm and hit
Geodude, and his tail slammed Staryu. The two were thrown back, but slowly got
back up. This fight was too serious give up.
Ash saw
this, and called out another attack for Totodile to use, “Totodile, use CRUNCH!”
Totodile opened his mouth and let go from the bite attack. He held on with his
hands to the shin, opened his mouth wide, and snapped at Tyranitar’s ankle.
Tyranitar’s
eyes opened wide. The bite penetrated his thick hide and was really, really
painful. It grabbed Totodile by the head with one hand, ripped the pokémon off,
threw it into the air and slammed it hard with its fist, sending it flying and
crashing into a tree.
“AN
OPENING!” Ash yelled. Tyranitar turned his head just in time to see Geodude
strike with his rocky fists and Staryu spinning straight into him. The two pokémon
slammed Tyranitar’s face, causing him to stumble back and fall to the ground. “Everybody!
While he’s down!” Ash yelled. All the pokémon dived onto Tyranitar, biting,
scratching, whipping, or using whatever special they could use to hurt it.
“Grrr… Tyranitar!
Use fury attack!” 001 yelled. From under the big mass, Tyranitar burst,
throwing, punching, slashing, kicking or slamming with his tail at all the
pokémon around him. They were thrown into different directions.
“Even
after all those attacks, Tyranitar just keeps on going!” Misty gasped
“What
did you expect? I’ve been training him since before you were born! This pokémon
is unbeatable!” said 001
“That’s
what you think! Pikachu, use Swift!” Ash yelled
“Rock
Throw, Geodude!” Brock yelled
“Staryu!
Water Gun!” Misty yelled
“Counter
them and attack!” 001 yelled. Tyranitar shielded himself from the water jet
with one arm. That arm also shielded his face from the hundreds of stinging
little stars coming from Pikachu. He swung his other arm and smashed a stone
that was thrown at him by Geodude. The round of attacks finished, and it was
his turn. Tyranitar roared and charged at the three pokémon.
“PIKA?!”
“HA!”
“Geo-DUDE!”
Tyranitar
grabbed Geodude and slammed him into Staryu, and then threw the rock pokémon to
the side.
“Staryu!
No!” Misty yelled, then remembered on of its moves. “Recover!” Staryu got up
and glowed. Its wounds healed and it regained a lot of HP.
“Man,
that Tyranitar wouldn’t know when to quit if it bit him in the face! Speaking of
which, use mega drain Crobat!” Brock yelled. Crobat swooped out of the
darkness, mouth wide open, fangs bared; it snapped Tyranitar right in the face.
Tyranitar slammed the Crobat away from him, but the damage was done. A fair
amount of HP was not only lost, it was given to Crobat.
“Kingler!
Bubblebeam! Noctowl! Use quick attack!” Ash yelled
Kingler
fired a huge wave of thick foam and bubbles at Tyranitar. Tyranitar popped them
with as much ease as a child would have with a plastic bubble blower. But this
left an opening. Noctowl swooped out of the air and slammed across Tyranitar’s
face. It’s arm quickly shot out and grabbed Noctowl by the neck. Noctowl
screeched in pain as Tyranitar squeezed with a crushing grip, which would soon
snap Noctowl like a twig.
“Crobat!
Hurry, use confuse ray!” Brock yelled. Immediately, the entire area went
totally black, and a few bright flashes of light could be seen. Then the dim
light in the forest returned, and Tyranitar was staggering, struggling to stay
on its feet from the attack. While it was dazed, Noctowl released itself from
Tyranitar’s grip, and pecked at it’s face before flying a fair distance away.
Every one of the team’s pokémon got up. All of them were about at half HP and
some were fainted, but the ones up were able to fight.
“We
have to stop attacking individually! Surround Tyranitar and attack from all
sides!” Ash yelled
“Follow
Ash’s lead!” Misty told her pokémon.
“Listen
to Ash’s orders!” Brock called out to his pokémon
Tyranitar
looked left and right. In every direction, all around him, there was a circle
of pokémon, and even above him there were flying types.
“All
right!” Ash said, “Water gun!” Every water pokémon moved in front of Tyranitar
and fired a combined high-pressured water jet at Tyranitar. Tyranitar dug his
feet to the ground and shielded himself with his arms in the “X” position
“All
water pokémon, stop firing and then shoot again in two seconds! Politoed! Use
ice beam on the water guns when they fire!” Misty yelled. Politoed stretched out
his hands and fired a beam of ice as the water guns resumed firing. The water
froze into solid ice, flying at a high speed. The solid ice pillar smashed into
Tyranitar.
“Tyranitar’s
too strong and he’d break out of the ice if it froze him, so an impact attack
is a much better solution!” Misty said
“Great
idea Misty!” Ash gave her a thumb-up, and then pointed at Tyranitar “Time to
feel the burn! Flamethrower Cyndaquil!” Ash yelled. Cyndaquil opened his mouth
and fired a huge burst of flames at Tyranitar. The flames stopped, and
Tyranitar was still standing. His body was bruised and some spikes were cracked
and chipped, but he wasn’t really hurt. He looked angrier than anything else.
“Death
from above! Attack from the air, flyers!” Ash yelled
“Enough
playing around Tyranitar! Now show them what you’re truly made of!” 001 yelled.
As Noctowl and Crobat swooped down, Tyranitar grabbed them out of mid-air, and
bashed their heads together.
“Ah!
Noctowl!” Ash yelled
“No,
Crobat!” Brock yelled
Tyranitar
tossed their limp bodies aside. He looked left and right, he was completely
surrounded. Tyranitar then jumped into the air and stomped the ground hard. He
sent a shockwave through the ground, tripping all of the pokémon surrounding
him. As they fell, Tyranitar charged forwards and attacked.
“What?!”
Ash yelled
“I don’t
believe it! Tyranitar did an earthquake attack, and when the pokémon tripped,
he used that as an opening!” Brock exclaimed
Tyranitar
slammed Totodile with his tail. Geodude lunged forwards to punch, but both of
Tyranitar’s hands caught him, and he rammed Geodude with his head, dazing the
rock pokémon. He swung Geodude hurled it at Kingler, knocking him over, but not
knocking it out. Tyranitar outstretched his arms and charged at Kingler. Kingler’s
claw shot slammed it with a crab hammer attack, stunning Tyranitar. Kingler
then clamped his claw over Tyranitar’s head. Tyranitar swung his heavy tail
over and bashed Kingler. The crab immediately lost its grip and fell to the
ground. He looked and saw Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil backed off a bit in fear, and
then opened his mouth and fired a flamethrower. The flames didn’t stop
Tyranitar from charging, and Tyranitar punched to the ground, but Cyndaquil
moved and dodged the hit. Tyranitar spun and tried to slam him with it’s tail,
but Cyndaquil also moved and dodged it. Tyranitar then lashed out, Cyndaquil
dodged each hit, but Tyranitar punched to the ground, and Cyndaquil jumped up.
As it was in the air, it couldn’t dodge or anything, and Tyranitar spun and slammed
it with his tail. Cyndaquil went down hard. Tyranitar looked behind him, the
next one was Pikachu.
“Pikachu…
use thunderbolt!” Ash yelled
“Pi-ka-CHUUU!!!”
Pikachu fired the attack, but Tyranitar didn’t even seem to feel the hit… “PIKA!”
As Tyranitar charged, Pikachu ran and slipped under its legs and ran.
“Corsola!
I choose you!” Misty threw a pokéball, releasing the coral pokémon, “Use
ancient power…”
“TYRAN-NITAR!”
Before Corsola could do an attack, Tyranitar slammed to pokémon into submission.
“HA!”
Staryu fired a water gun at Tyranitar
“PI-KA-CHUUUU!”
Pikachu used thunder on the water jet. Tyranitar screamed when the electrically
charged water hit his body. Because of the water, electric attacks now affected
him. Ash and Misty stood behind Pikachu and Staryu.
“Pikachu!
You and Staryu are the only ones left! Be careful!” Ash said
“We
cannot lose to him, otherwise it’ll be all over for all of us!” Misty said
“Look
at him!” Ash said, “He’s injured and slowed down, cracked and he has a burn status
damage! He shouldn’t be able to last much longer!”
“Well
neither could you, and Tyranitar always outlasts his opponents!” 001 yelled, “Tyranitar!
Use thrash!”
“Move
away Pikachu! That attack will finish you off!”
Staryu
flew into the air, safe from Tyranitar, but the same couldn’t be said for
Pikachu. Tyranitar lashed out and punched. Pikachu dodged and Tyranitar’s fist
cracked the tree. Tyranitar stomped, attempting to crush Pikachu, but Pikachu
ran.
“Swift
attack!” Ash and Misty yelled at the same time. Hundreds of stinging little
stars flew, and each one hit Tyranitar. Tyranitar charged forwards, but Pikachu
and Staryu split.
“We can’t
keep up like this!” Ash said
“We
need a stronger attack that’ll affect it!” Misty said, “Staryu! Use…” In a bright
flash of light, one of Misty’s pokéballs opened up, and out came Psyduck. “That’s
what we need! Psyduck! Use confusion!”
“Psy?”
Psyduck leaned his head over to the side, completely clueless.
Misty
sighed, “I forgot… he needs a headache…”
Tyranitar
charged and swung his fist, to hit Psyduck,
“Tyranitar!
STOP!” 001 yelled
“Tar?”
Tyranitar’s fist was only inches away from Psyduck’s head.
“That
pokémon is a living bomb! If you hit that thing, then we’re dead!” 001 yelled
As 001
was telling Tyranitar about the danger of hitting Psyduck, Ash and Misty took
that opportunity to hit.
“Staryu!
Double edge!”
“Pikachu!
Skull bash!”
From
the left, Staryu spun like a shuriken and slammed across Tyranitar’s face.
Right after that, Pikachu shot from the right and bashed the other side of
Tyranitar’s face with his head. Tyranitar stumbled backwards, dazed from the
two hits. He then regained his posture and flailed at them with his tail.
Staryu flew through the air and Pikachu moved around, both of them dodged the
tail. Tyranitar roared in fury and swung his tail downwards, but Pikachu and
Staryu moved…
“Tyranitar!
NO!” 001 yelled. Tyranitar looked, his tail was just above Psyduck’s head. One
more centimetre and he would have unleashed the full fury of Psyduck.
“AN
OPENING!”
Staryu
fired a water gun, and Pikachu electrified it. Tyranitar roared in pain as it
felt electricity surge through its body. The attack ended, Tyranitar roared out
in rage and tried to walk, but stumbled. It was moving a lot slower now.
“YES!”
Ash yelled, “Not only is his HP down and burned, but he’s also paralyzed!”
“We
make a great team!” Misty cheered, and high-fived Ash
Tyranitar
roared. He tried to charge forwards, but he was shaking and couldn’t keep his
balance easily, he felt weaker and heavier than he ever did in his life.
Pikachu and Staryu charged towards him, and he couldn’t move fast enough to
counter and hit. They slammed into him, Staryu spinning around him and hitting
him, Pikachu running, ramming into him or whipping him with an electrically
charged tail. (Slow motion) he looked forwards, Staryu spun right in front and
Pikachu was still in mid-air. Quickly, before anyone could react, he smashed
the two pokémon with a very strong hook. The two were thrown a few meters away
and landed painfully on the ground. Tyranitar growled, he could move, not very
easily, but more than enough to do a finishing attack.
Tyranitar
roared and jumped into the air, arms and legs outstretched, he was going to use
Body Slam on Pikachu and Staryu! Pikachu and Staryu rolled out of the way…
(CRASH!)
Tyranitar landed
“NO!”
001 yelled… not only did miss… but he landed on Psydyck!
Tyranitar
lay on the ground on his stomach. He was sore all over and had little HP left.
The worst part was that he missed, and doing that attack really, really hurt.
Suddenly, there was a strange blue glow on his body. Tyranitar was lifted into
the air, and Psyduck stood up, not looking clueless any more. Psyduck was
glowing, and his eyes shone deep blue. Psyduck raised his hand into the air,
and swung it, as if he were throwing a baseball. Tyranitar flew through the air
and crashed through several trees. Psyduck slapped into empty air, and
Tyranitar went spinning at a nauseous speed. Then Psyduck pointed his hand
upwards, and Tyranitar was shot higher into the air, his body ripped through
the thick leaves blocking the light, and letting in a ray of sunlight. Psyduck
turned hand and put his thumbs down. Up in the air, Tyranitar hung upside down,
and then plummeted to the ground. There was a loud crash, and it looked like a
meteorite had hit the earth. The dust cleared. Tyranitar was standing on its
head. There was one weak groan, and Tyranitar’s legs and tail fell to the
ground, so it was flat on its back… Tyranitar was defeated!
“Tyranitar
has fainted! We Won!” Ash cheered. Everyone cheered. They had defeated
Tyranitar!
“Tyranitar,
return!” 001 called back the giant pokémon. “This isn’t over! Take this!” 001
hurled three large metal rings. They opened up and then clamped around Ash,
Misty and Brock, pinning their arms to their waists. A small red light on each
of the ring flashed, and a clicking sound could be heard.
“WHOA!”
Brock yelled
“AHH!”
Misty fell over
“GRRR…!”
Ash struggled, trying to break free, but it was no use.
“Heh…
struggle all you want! It’ll do you no good! Those rings can easily hold a
Rhydon…”
“You
may have us tied up, but you forgot one thing! Pikachu, thunder attack!” Ash
yelled
“Pi-ka-CHUUUU!!!!”
Pikachu sparked and fired his strongest attack.
“GWAAAA!”
everyone yelled. Besides 001, all the trainers were shocked. Apparently the
metal attracted the lightning.
“HA!”
Staryu fired a powerful blast of water into 001, sending him flying. “AHHHH! I’m
blasting off!” He yelled as he flew over the horizon.
The
rings all sparked, and the red lights faded. The locks opened up and they fell
to the floor, useless.
“Ah…
that’s better,” Ash looked up, “We did it!” Ash exclaimed, “We’ve defeated a
Team Rocket elite!”
“We
didn’t just beat him, we did it together!” Misty said happily
“That
just shows that if we work together, we can achieve anything!” Brock also
cheered.
(In the
background, you hear a loud crash, followed by a YOW! OWW! MY HEAD! Followed by
a whole lot of swearing.)
“Did
001 crash already?” Brock asked
Ash
looked at the clock on his pokédex, “No, but judging by the time, faker’s ropes
have snapped already.”
“Huh?”
Brock and Misty blinked, they didn’t know what he was talking about
(Location- Dark Forest Exit/Teal Ville Entrance)
“I can
see Teal!” Ash said happily
“We’re
leaving the forest finally!” Misty also exclaimed happily
“Instead
of gawking at the city, let’s go!” Brock also said, and they ran as fast as
they could into the city of
What did you think of my fic’s ‘Boss
