Chapter 32: Vs. Crasher Wake

I walk into the gym followed by Barry, Roark, Dawn, and Riley. I face Crasher Wake. "I challenge you to a gym battle!"

He smiles. "I was waiting for you, Chris."

A referee walks to the side of the battlefield. "Let the battle begin! Send out your first pokémon!"
I send out Luxio and Crasher Wake sends out Gyarados. I grin. "Charge, then Spark!"

"Use Bite!"

Luxio starts collecting electricity, then Gyarados bites at him. Luxio jumps left, but his leg gets caught in its mouth. "Use Shock Wave!"

Luxio sends out a wave of lightning, dealing immense amounts of damage to Gyarados. Gyarados backs off, growling. Luxio nods to me. "Spark!"

"Twister!"

Gyarados whirls its head around, creating a whirling gust of wind. The twister pulls Luxio in, dealing some damage. "Luxio! Get out of there!"

Luxio disappears from sight as he whirls around. Suddenly, a bright light shines through the debris. The tornado dies down and a Luxray stands in the center of the field. Dawn cheers me on along with Roark. Barry stands up. "You better not lose! If you do, I'll fine you big time!"

"I guess I won't lose, then!"

I smile at Luxray. "Ready?"

He nods and smiles. "Use Thunderbolt!"

Luxray fires a bolt of lightning at Gyarados, knocking him out of the air. Crasher Wake returns him. "Thank you for battling. You did great."

"Luxray, come back."

He nods and runs to my side. I pet him, then he lies down. "Ready Riolu?"

"Yeah!"

He runs out to the battlefield. Crasher Wake throws a pokéball. A Quagsire stands in front of Riolu. "Bring it on, Chris."

I grin. "Riolu, Force Palm!"

He runs forward, surrounding his arm in Aura. "Dodge it and use Mud Shot!"

Quagsire jumps in the water surrounding the arena and swims around. Riolu looks around, guessing where he'll leap out from. He leaps out from behind Riolu and jumps over the battlefield, firing several Mud Shots at Riolu. Riolu looks around. Some mud is covering his eyes. "Riolu!"

I look at Riley. He nods. "Listen Riolu. Use your Aura. Sense where he is."

I hear water splashing near me. Riolu turns that way, then looks behind him. Quagsire leaps from there, readying another Mud Shot. He is surprised to see Riolu following him. "Aura Sphere!"

Riolu creates an azure orb and tosses it at him. "Water Pulse!"

"Jump into the air and use Force Palm!"

Riolu leaps into the air and jumps off of the Aura Sphere. It is thrown into the ground, creating an explosion of Aura. Riolu brings his arm back and charges up his Aura. I let my Aura flow around me. Riolu thrusts his arm forward, making contact with Quagsire. A shockwave rocks the building as a blast of Aura expels around the two of them. Two figures drop to the ground, shrouded in smoke. I feel a massive amount of Aura coming from Riolu. The smoke clears and I gasp. A Lucario is looking back at me. I smile. "Riolu, you did it! You evolved!"

Lucario nods. "It was the training we did together. I really got to know you. But now, I'm ready to fight."

Quagsire stands up. I reach into my bag and grab Lucario's Mega Stone. "Lucario, catch!"

I throw the stone to him. He grabs it and looks at it. He flinches when it glows. I look at my Key Stone. It's glowing. "Ready?"

He nods. "I'm ready."
