Touya's Battle (a Pokémon Fanfiction) (Pokémon Watty Awards 2015) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 3: Team Plasma Returns - Part 2: Driftveil Tension

Touya's POV

The crowd cheered as Pignite used Flamethrower. It hit Magneton, defeating it. Colress was defeated. Nate won. Hugh, Rosa, and I cheered from the top of our lungs. We were both proud of our friend.

Colress walked up to us.
"Congratulations, Nate. I am impressed." He returned Magneton to its Poké Ball. The two shook hands. Rio and Pignite smiled at each other. Colress then turned to leave. Pathor stared at the doorway.

"I don't trust that man," he said.
Cheren walked up to us. He looked serious.

"Word is that Team Plasma is in Driftveil. A giant ship with their emblem is docked at the pier."

We ran outside to see Travis, Kai, some grunts, and a Buizel. Wait, I thought. It can't be. The Buizel was Jet! Travis' Partner Pokémon! We followed close behind until we found Cheren was right. There was a blue-and-white ship docked by the market with the Plasma emblem. As soon as the group got on board, Travis turned around to face us.

"So. You're going to try to stop us, Touya?" he growled. We ran onboard.

"I don't want to fight you, Travis, but it seems I have no choice." My hands became fists. "I will stop you and get the friend I know back!"

"Very well," He pointed at us. "Get them!" He nodded and stood in front of Pathor. Kai and the grunts threw their Poké Balls, and Whirlipede, a Liepard, a Golbat, and two Seviper all faced us.
"Rio! Genesect! Pignite!" Nate yelled.

"Servine!" Rosa called out.

"Dewott!" Hugh followed. All the Pokémon were ready now. They charged each other, Pignite fighting Whirlipede, Rio and Genesect trying to blast Liepard and Golbat, Servine and Dewott parrying the Sevipers' razor-sharp tails, and Pathor facing Jet.

"I don't want to fight you, Jet," Pathor pleaded, "Remember our mission a year ago? Remember Cassie, Tessa, and Mirage? Remember our team?"

"I do," Jet said. "But Travis has changed. And as his Partner Pokémon, I must fight alongside him, no matter what!" He charged with Aqua Jet, but Pathor dodged.

"So be it," he said. He lunged at Jet, swords extended, and hit him with Psycho Cut. It met a Sonic Boom, both canceling each other out. Then, Drain Punch met Ice Punch, knocking each back. They lunged at each other.

Nate's POV

Whirlipede!" Kai yelled, "Steamroller!" Whirlipede charged.

"Pignite!" I yelled. "Use Flame Charge!" Cloaked in fire, he charged. I looked over at Rio. He was flying on Genesect with Golbat shooting at him with Poison Sting. It prepared to use Air Slash, but a Psycho Cut intercepted.

"So. You're here for the party too, huh?" I turned to see Shade jump on the ship. He slashed at Golbat, Genesect transformed and fired a Flash Cannon at Liepard, and Rio used Copycat to copy Flash Cannon and do so as well. Both fainted when the smoke cleared. Whirlipede and the Seviper were defeated, and Pathor's Psycho Cut knocked Jet to the ground. Man, they did a good job. He turned to face us, two words leaving his mouth:
"Let's go."

We ran off, returning Servine, Dewott, and Pignite to their Poké Balls, and returned to the market to report the event to Clay, the Driftveil Gym Leader.
----------------------------------------------Shade's POV

I saw Touya, Nate, and Rosa walk out of the market. These people are peculiar, but friendly. After they talked, they turned to me.

"So, Shade," Nate asked, "where are you going to now?"

"None of your business." I said.

"You can trust us, Shade." Touya smiled. I sighed.

"I'm headed to the Moor of Iccirus to meet up with the Swords of Justice. We will be training there."

"Mistralton City is on the way there!" Rosa exclaimed, "You can come with us." I nodded. It was great to have human friends. But I was now determined to defeat Team Plasma as well. I knew there was bound to be a battle ahead. But we were prepared.
