Pokemon Indigo League Stories Part 2

Battle in the freezing Raid

"And Sheer Cold may be up next! Let's spread out!" Gary commanded.

"But if it's Blizzard, we're finished!" Goh argued. " Now gather behind Boldore!"

The Pokémon grunted as they ran to Goh's Pokemon.

Articuno screeched.

"Wait, is that Sheer Cold?" Goh exclaimed as he watched in confusion.

" NO!" someone yelled as they ran to the Pokemon and shielded them just as Articuno released the attack.

Blizzard hit the kid hard, and they gritted their teeth.

But they held their stance.

" You will not hurt my brother and his friends you hear me?"

Ash gasped as the kid fell to the ground. " Wisty?!"

Wisty held a hand up. " No Ash." She said firmly. " This is my battle."

Just then, Chikerita, Sprigatito, Charmander, Eevee and Pikachu ran to her and jumped on her.

" Oof." She grunted. " You guys are heavy!"

Articuno screeched, and Wisty turned. " Okay guys let's go. Charmander, fire spin! Eevee, turn into Flarion and use flamethrower!"

" Char Char!"

" Flarion!"

The fire types let the fire out, and Wisty turned to Chikerita and Sprigatito. " Now use razor leaf!"

" Chika!"

" Sprigatito!"

" Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Ash yelled

" Pika... CHUUUU."

Articuno dodged and used Sheer Cold.

But Wisty was ready.

" Guys go go go!" She exclaimed to her Pokémon. " You know what to do!"

She threw a bunch of other Pokeballs. " Altaria Amura Deerling Sprigatito Girafarig Ferret Totodile let's go! Use your powers!"

Wisty’s eyes narrowed, determined as she kept her focus on Articuno. Even though the icy winds whipped around her, she stood her ground, barking out commands to her Pokémon with unwavering confidence.

“Eevee, use Psychic Beam, now!” Wisty called, feeling the energy pulse as Eevee’s eyes glowed a bright blue. The psychic energy beamed straight at Articuno, making it flinch and momentarily breaking its concentration.

Wisty struggled to her feet with Eevee’s help, brushing off the frost gathering on her arms. “Thanks, Eevee,” she muttered, a quick grin of gratitude flashing across her face. But her focus remained steady. “Alright, Chikorita, Sprigatito—wait, we’ve got no sun for Solar Beam…” She paused, thinking fast. “Okay! Forget that! Everyone—use your strongest moves now!”

Chikorita and Sprigatito nodded, their eyes blazing with determination as they charged forward. “Chikorita, use Energy Ball! Sprigatito, Seed Bomb!”

The two Grass-types launched their attacks, sending glowing green energy and a barrage of seed-like projectiles toward Articuno. Just as Articuno dodged to the side, Wisty called out to her other Pokémon.

“Altaria, Amura, Deerling—triple Hyper Beam!”

The three Pokémon gathered their energy, releasing three beams of immense power that converged on Articuno. The Legendary Pokémon screeched, narrowly dodging the beams, but Wisty wasn’t finished.

“Girafarig, use Thunderbolt! Ferret, Hyper Fang! Totodile, Ice Fang!”

The Pokémon moved as one, attacking from all sides, each hit slowly chipping away at Articuno’s defenses.

Meanwhile, Ash, Goh, Gary, and Horace watched, tense but unable to interfere.

“Wisty!” Ash called out, unable to contain himself any longer. “Let us help you!”

But Wisty shot him a look, her fierce gaze stopping him cold. “No, Ash! This is my battle. Articuno’s my responsibility, and I won’t let it hurt my family or my friends!”

Articuno’s eyes glinted, and with a deafening cry, it unleashed Sheer Cold once more, aiming straight for Wisty.

But she was ready. “Everyone—now! Scatter and counterattack!”

As Articuno’s icy blast tore through the air, Wisty’s Pokémon swiftly dodged, firing back with everything they had—flames, lightning, energy, and fierce bites.

“Eevee, Quick Attack! Sprigatito, Scratch! Charmander, Ember!”

One by one, they rushed Articuno, each hit landing harder than the last, until Articuno finally faltered, hovering weakly in the air.

With one last push, Wisty called out, “All of you—final attacks together!”

Her Pokémon unleashed their strongest moves simultaneously in a burst of energy that collided with Articuno’s last Sheer Cold, sending an explosion of frost and light through the clearing. When the snow settled, Articuno gave one final, weary screech before taking flight, retreating to the mountains.

Wisty collapsed, catching her breath, as her Pokémon gathered around her, nuzzling her and cheering.

Ash ran over, dropping to his knees beside her. “Wisty, are you okay?”

She gave a tired smile, raising a thumbs-up. “Yeah, Ash... we did it.”

And with that, she let herself fall back, her Pokémon snuggling close to keep her warm as they all finally relaxed, their victory echoing across the silent mountains.
