The Battle Factory

And The Celestic Contest

Before going to Celestic Town for the pokemon contest the gang were stopping at somewhere else first. The contest wasn't till tomorrow so it was okay. The place they had come to was Sinnoh's fourth battle facility; the Battle Factory. "Hey this is just like the battle factory back in Kanto" said Ash. He was right because the battle factory was a metal factory exactly like Noland's battle factory. "I wonder if this frontier brain invents things like Noland does?" said Brock. "Actually I do" said a voice.

The voice came from a young man in a smart suit and Matt was with him. "Good to see you kids here" said Matt. The man introduced himself as Factory Head Thorton the frontier brain of the battle factory. "So Thorton do you invent things like Noland of the battle factory does?" asked Ash. "Yes in a way, I know Noland well," said Thorton "I like to invent machines for pokemon. So are you kids here to battle me?" "I am my name is Ash" said Ash. "Well Ash I accept your challenge" said Thorton. Thorton led Matt and the gang to a big metal warehouse; this was where the battlefield was. Thorton had an apprentice named Wayne who also acted as the referee for the battles. He explained the battle was a three on three pokemon battle and whoever knocks out all three pokemon first wins. Ash and Thorton took their places on the battlefield and Matt, Brock, Dawn and Tomo sat on the side seats. "I wonder what pokemon Thorton uses?" said Dawn. "Well Noland had different types of pokemon, so maybe Thorton does the same" said Brock. "That's incorrect I'm afraid," said Matt "Thorton does use many different types of pokemon to help him work in his factory, but for the battles he only uses one type pokemon". Dawn, Brock and Tomo wondered what that was.

Thorton sent out his first pokemon, a Magnemite. 'He probably either uses electric types or steel types' thought Ash. Ash called out his Breloom to battle. "Breloom is part grass and fighting type and Magnemite is weak to fighting type" said Brock. Ash started off by telling Breloom to use mach punch, but Magnemite used metal sound to put Breloom off. Breloom use energy ball" said Ash. Breloom fired an energy ball attack and it hit Magnemite. "Impressive" said Thorton. He ordered Magnemite to use lock on. "Oh-oh, I reckon Magnemite is going to use zap cannon" said Tomo. "But electric type moves are weak against grass type pokemon aren't they?" said Dawn. "Yes but zap cannon is a very strong electric type move and it can cause paralysis" said Brock. Truth be told Magnemite did use zap cannon but Breloom protected himself with protect, and then he punched Magnemite with sky uppercut. "Nice Breloom now finish this with mach punch" said Ash. Breloom punched Magnemite before it had the chance to do anything and it fainted. "Ha-ha the first win" said Dawn. "I wonder what pokemon Thorton will use next though?" said Brock.

Thorton returned Magnemite and sent out his next pokemon a Magneton. "Do you think Thorton uses the Magnemite evolution line?" asked Tomo. "Bingo, that's exactly what Thorton uses in his battles" said Matt. "That figures" said Brock. Ash knew Magneton would be stronger than Magneton, having battled Magnetons before, and told Breloom to be careful. "Okay Breloom use leech seed" said Ash. "Use thunder wave Magneton" said Thorton. Before Breloom could fire a leech seed attack, Magneton struck Breloom with thunder wave and poor Breloom was paralyzed. "Oh no," said Dawn "with Breloom paralyzed it's going to be hard for Ash". Ash tried to have Breloom attack Magnemite with energy ball, but Breloom was too paralyzed to move. "Okay Magneton use tri attack" said Thorton. Breloom got hit by the tri attack but it was still alright to continue. "Breloom use seed bomb" said Ash. Breloom managed to fire a seed bomb attack, but Magneton countered it with magnet bomb. Then Magnemite attacked Breloom with tri attack and Breloom got hit by the attack and fainted. "Oh man that Magneton is strong" said Dawn. "Yes but Ash isn't beaten yet" said Brock.
