Chapter 65: Chapter 65 – Rico and Jonathan vs. Anton
Looking at Rico, Jonathan responded back, "We'll fight back, together."
Eventually, Rico turned serious and nodded. "Okay, big brother." Then to Riolu and Litleo, "Let's fight back."
Then eventually, Riolu and Litleo then serious nodded in agreement.
And so, Rico, Jonathan, Riolu, Litleo, and Greninja come out of the cafeteria and faced the Vandals with serious determination. Adrian, his father, and their Pokémon are still hiding though.
"Hey you!" Rico shouted at the leader of the Vandals.
The leader of the Vandals and some of his grunts then looked at him and Jonathan.
"Leave this ship at once!" Jonathan demanded.
"Oh, what do we have here?" the leader responded back in style. "A tough-looking man and a cute, little boy."
Meanwhile, the captain and the crew members are being locked up at their cabin.
Back at the main deck, Rico wasn't that offended by the insult made by the leader of the Vandals, but Jonathan is.
"How dare you say that to my little brother?" Jonathan responded back.
The leader, Anton, then laughed. "Oh, really? He's your brother? How cute."
"I said leave this ship at once," Jonathan repeated his demand.
"That it! Let's have a battle!" Anton retorted back. Then to his Pokémon, an Electivire, "Electivire, let's go!"
Electivire did so and stepped into battle.
"Greninja, you're on," Jonathan said to Greninja.
Greninja did so and stepped into battle.
"Riolu, Litleo, you're up," Rico said to Riolu.
Riolu and Litleo did so, and they stepped into battle and next to Greninja.
Seeing this unfair match, Anton scoffed, and responded, "I can win this with just one Pokémon"
"Really?" Rico thought in his mind.
And so, as Anton's minions and the hostage passengers watched this, the battle began.
"Electivire, use Shock Wave!" Anton commanded Electivire.
Electivire then used Shock Wave, striking Greninja, Riolu, and Litleo with a quick jolt of electricity.
"Quickly, dodge it!" Rico and Jonathan commanded Riolu, Litleo, and Greninja simultaneously.
Riolu, Litleo, and Greninja then dodged Electivire's attack with speed.
"Then use Focus Blast and Flamethrower!" Rico commanded Riolu and Litleo.
"Greninja, use Water Shuriken!" Jonathan commanded Greninja seriously.
Riolu, Litleo, and Greninja then used Focus Blast, Flamethrower, and Water Shuriken simultaneously, striking Electivire with combined power. Unfortunately, it didn't fall to the deck floor, but Anton was shocked with anger at this.
"What the…? You little…!" he responded to this. "How could you attack all at once?"
"Well, we worked together, of course," Rico replied back with serious coolness.
This angers Anton a lot more, and he commanded Electivire, "Use Thunderbolt!"
Electivire then used Thunderbolt, loosing a strong electric blast at Riolu, Litleo, and Greninja.
This strikes Riolu and Litleo severely, but Greninja managed to dodge it quickly.
"Oh, no, Riolu, Litleo, are you two okay?" Rico asked upon seeing this.
Riolu and Litleo then responded with pain, but yet, they managed to get up, not paralyzed at all, much to Anton's shock.
