Pokémon Soul

Chapter 10 - Spring Tides

All three boys look ahead to see a buff red mosquito flexing at them while levitating over the water with its large, orange wings.

"Stay back and do NOT join in, no matter what," Kazuki tells the other two while pulling out five Pokéballs from his pocket. Seeing Kazuki get up from the jet ski makes the mosquito widen its stance, seemingly taunting him. It patiently waits for Kazuki to make a move, but when Kazuki moves his head, the mosquito notices Daxon, and for some reason, this makes it go berserk. It flexes so fast that it does around 50 poses in 1 second and rushes towards Daxon. Kazuki quickly summons one of his Pokémon and falls into the water.

THUD!

It took a second for Daxon and Charles to realize, but Kazuki never fell... A furry crab turned all the surrounding water to ice, and using it as ground, Kazuki was able to kick the creature directly in its chin with all his force, making it back up a decent amount. With the big bug being distracted with wiping its proboscis like an anime character, Kazuki decided to not give it a chance to retaliate.

"Grapploct! Use Octolock! Lopunny! Slam the ice!" Following Kazuki's orders, an intimidating blue octopus with yellow marks on it that make it resemble a wrestler appears from the ice. Along with it, a feminine brown bunny appears next to Kazuki and jumps into the sky. The octopus quickly attaches to the beast, rendering it unable to move, and the bunny crashes onto the two but uses the bug as a platform to backflip back onto the ice, slamming the grapploct and the beast into unfrozen water. Kazuki takes out a Pokeball with a holographic image of the grapploct and returns it to the ball. He then stares at the furry crab and then at the hole, prompting it to quickly head towards the crack and patch it back up with its icy punches.

Grapploct used Octolock!

Lopunny used Bounce!

The move missed...

Without warning, the mosquito emerges from beneath the crab, sending it flying into the sky and causing Lopunny, who was near the ice, to be pushed back. "Now it's getting serious!" Kazuki grins deviously at the bug, and if the monster could smile back, it would. Kazuki rips off his open beach shirt and takes an odd black, somewhat sharp martial arts headband out of his pocket. He puts it on and ties his long hair into a messy man bun.

"あなたはここで死ぬでしょう, マッシブーン!" Kazuki yells out, getting into a fighting stance, Lopunny, Pangoro, and Grapploct following behind. The *"Massivoon" clenched its fists so hard it made a decently loud boom, and suddenly a yellow and red aura started to surround it.

Crabombinable fainted!

???'s Beast Boost: The wild ???'s attack rose!

"Daxon, Charles. Get another gym leader quick!" Kazuki screams at the other two who were staring in awe. Lopunny quickly runs over to them and breaks the ice surrounding the jetski with an extremely forceful kick, freeing them. Lopunny hands them Kazuki's unlocked phone, and the two boys nod. Lopunny looks at Kazuki, who seems to give it a signal, and suddenly...

WOOSH!

Kazuki's Lopunny dropkicks the jetski, sending the two unexpecting boys at insane speed towards land while destroying all the ice in the jet ski's path.

"AAHAHAHAHSHDGHAGAHS HOW STRONG IS THAT LOPUNAAAAAAAAAAA-"

BOOM!
