Zapped [A Pokemon Fanfiction] *on hiatus*

Route to Santalune

I yelped and rolled to the side as the lead Geodoude aimed a Rock Throw straight at me, barely dodging the attack. The attack sailed over the pot Chespin was hiding in and plowed straight into Conner. The super effective attack sent Conner flying, knocking him back several paces.

Genevieve and Morgan noticed the commotion and looked at the attacking Geodude. "Geodude?" Morgan asked, "I didn't know any lived around here. I thought that they preferred rocky terrain."

"Obviously, they're here now," Geneveive stated, lifting up her Pokedex and scanning the Geodude.

"Geodude, the Rock Pokemon," the Pokedex said in a mechanical voice, "Geodude is often found on mountain roads with half of its body buried in the ground so that it can observe mountain travelers."

The three Geodude heard the mechanical voice and turned to face Genevieve and Morgan. "Why do I get the feeling that's not good?" Morgan questioned, backing up a step.

The three Geodudes curled into balls and rolled towards Genevieve and Morgan. Both dove to the side, barely avoiding the attacking Pokemon.

"Hey, it's not nice to go picking on random people and Pokemon!" I yelled at the Geodude. The three Geodude turned to face me and the leader used Rock Throw. I leapt up into the air, avoiding the rocks. I landed next to the pot Chespin was hiding in. When the lead Geodude rolled at me in a Rollout attack, Chespin jumped out from the pot and struck the Geodude with a Vine Whip attack. Conner, who had recovered from the initial attack, followed up with an Ember.

I looked over to the two Geodude who were focusing there attacks on Genevieve and Morgan. Morgan had released Pidgey to fight the Geodude, but the Flying/ Normal type was having trouble landing a hit on the two Geodude. "Chespin," I stated, "Go and help Pidgey. Conner and I can handle this Geodude."

Chespin glaceed at me. "Are you sure?" he asked.

I nodded. "Genevieve, Morgan, and Pidgey need your help right now," I answered.

Chespin raced towards Pidgey and the other two Geodude. As Conner and I watched him go, Conner asked, "Are you sure that was a good idea, Amanda? This is the lead Geodude we're battling, and there's no doubt that it will be stronger than the other two."

"I realize that," I noted, "But facing two against one is harder, and I couldn't let Genevieve or Morgan get hurt because Pidgey was at a disadvantage."

"You make it hard to argue with you," Conner replied, "Let's give this Geodude a battle that it won't forget."

With that, Conner aimed an Ember at the Geodude, and I followed it up with a Quick Attack. The Geodude jumped to the side then used Rock Throw, aimed at Conner, but I hit the rock with a Thunder Shock and turned it to rubble. Conner hit the Geodude with an Ember attack, but it did little damage.

The Goedude used Tackle on me and I attempted to counter with Quick Attack, but the Geodude was stronger and its attack overpowered mine, sending me tumbling back a few paces. Conner tried to hit the Geodude with another Ember, but the Geodude used Rock Throw and landed a super effective hit on Conner.

While the Geodude was focused on Conner, I used Quick Attack, although didn't do very much damage, because it was a Normal- type move. The Geodude attempted to use Rollout, but I dodged the attack. Conner stuggled to his feet and used Smoke Screen, surrounding the Geodude in a thick, black smoke. Using the smoke as a cover- up, I used Quick Attack and Conner followed it up with Ember.

The both of us paused while the Smoke Screen gradually cleared. Revealed at the center was the Geodude, still standing.

"This Geodude's starting to get annoying," Conner complained, "Its defense is so high, I feel like we're not even scratching it."
