Pokemon:Ruin hunter

Azalea town.

The bright sunshine shone through the open window as Noah slowly rised from his bed.

He sat on his bed staring at the wall for a few minutes.

He then stood up and went towards the bathroom.

Lampent was doing his usual stuff and golbat hanged upside down on the ceiling.

Turtwig looked out the window with gleaming eyes and larvesta closed it's eyes trying to go back to sleep.

Which wasn't possible because torchic was standing on top of him.

After a few minutes Noah returned from the bathroom and wore his clothes.

It was what he usually wore.

'I bought like 20 of these.' Noah knew one single dress wouldn't last forever.

Seeing that they were going to leave turtwig jumped into the kangaskhan pouch.

Lampent and golbat floated behind Noah.

Noah approached his other two pokemon and gently scooped them up and placed them in his pouch.

'All set, now I will challenge the gym and go to the union cave, slowpoke well and finally llex forest.' Noah was interested in this mysterious forest and considering it was close to his next destination he didn't mind checking it out.

'The gym leader's name is Bugsy....' The name told him all he needed to know about the gym.

He then looked inside the pouch and decided to send out the fire bug and fire chicken.

'They will get the job done.' Noah then double-checked his bag.

'Potions, antidotes, awakening, berries, canned food and the most important thing- the silver wing.'

'I don't even know how I am supposed to catch or defeat lugia.' Noah was considering selling it at a high price in the market.

'But money can't learn aeroblast.'

He walked through the small town famous for their worship of slowpokes.

Vendors filled the streets selling all kinds of slowpoke merchandise.

He then suddenly froze unsure of what he just saw.

He turned his head to the left and looked towards the stall selling Pokemon merchandise.

Especially focusing on slowpokes.

The most famous ones that were sold were the dolls.

But Noah's eyes focused on something else.

It was a slowking crown.

He wasted no time as he headed towards the stall slapped a stack of money on the vendor's hand and wore the crown on his head.

He then charged towards the gym with newfound confidence.

Meanwhile the vendor was wondering chasing after Noah because he didn't pay the full amount.

Infact he didn't pay even half of it.

'Nah, I don't wanna do it, that hat was already rotting on the shelf for almost a decade I think.'

But because of his laziness he decided to not chase after Noah.

__________________________________________

A few minutes later.

Azalea gym.

Noah looked at the trainer standing at the other side of the stage with no expression on his face.

'A twink huh?'

The trainer in question was the azalea gym leader Bugsy.

The moment Noah stepped into the gym he started yapping about bugs, bugs and more bugs.

But seeing Noah's visible disgust towards bugs the leader wisely decided to start the match.

The gym's inside appearance was that of a forest.

'Does he think a forest will give advantages to his Pokemon?' Noah took a wild guess.

"It will be 3 vs 3 match." Bugsy said as he sent out a green spider.

It was a spinarak.

"Go torchic."

Noah took out torchic and threw it at spinarak.

"Spinarak wrap the torchic with string shot."

"Use ember to burn away the strings."

The foe spinarak shot out a string of web towards torchic to which torchic simply burned it away.

"Torchic use scratch."

Torchic got close to spinarak and used his claws and scratched spinarak's legs.

Small scratch marks appeared on spinarak's legs.

"Spinarak poison sting."

A needle coated in poison shot out of spinarak's mouth.

Due to torchic being too close with spinarak the needle hit and a purple hue appeared on torchic's face.

Torchic has been poisoned.

'I think he can take out spinarak before he faints.' Noah still had some hope for torchic.

Even though torchic is a pretty strong Pokemon he has never battled and just hatched a week ago.

Noah had never used him in a battle.

"Torchic use ember."

This time it was the enemy's turn to curse for being too close with their opponent.

A small lump of flame shot out from torchic's mouth.

The flame successfully hit spinarak.

The flames spread because of the terrain and kept on buring spinarak.

Spinarak's screams of agony resounded throughout the gym until he fainted.

'Brutal.' Noah commented in his mind.

Torchic kept on standing despite him being poisoned.

"You did well spinarak now rest well." Bugsy recalled his Pokemon and sent out another one.

It had a stoic face that could rival larvesta's.

It was green and unmoving.

It was a metapod.

"Metapod use harden."

'Yeah no, I know what he is trying to do.' Memories of Cynthia's spiritomb spamming double team appeared in his mind.

"Torchic ember."

A lump of flame shot out and hit metapod.

But metapod's body shined with a metallic lustre as he toughened it out.

"Torchic use ember again."

The same thing happened.

"Again."

For the third time.

"Again."

Fourth.

"Again."

Fifth.

During this time metapod was spamming harden while being inside the flames.

The poison on torchic was worsening as he started to lose his balance.

'Fuck it's over for torchic.' Noah considered recalling torchic back.

"Torchic one last time."

This time the lump of flames was anything but small.

Torchic used his all to charge up this move and send it out towards the metapod.

Even though harden raised it's defence it still took damage and fire was super effective against it.

Finally the metapod couldn't take it anymore and fainted.

The area around the metapod was completely charred black.

'Torchic is at his limits.'

'But I think he can make it.'

Noah called out to torchic:" Torchic! Do you want to continue or come back?"

Torchic did not respond and kept on standing.

'Nevermind, let him keep on fighting.' Noah sighed and waited for Bugsy's next pokemon.

"Go scyther." Bugsy released a green Pokemon with scythe-like hands from his pokeball.

The moment it was released Torchic started feeling some kind of pressure.

"Are you sure you aren't switching out? Your pokemon is about to faint." Bugsy felt some pity towards the little chick seeing it's wobbly feet and trembling body.

'But my chicken is too prideful and does not like being pitied.'Noah did not reply.

"Scyther slash."

"Torchic ember."

Bugsy did not use his sword dance strategy, seeing the weak Pokemon he felt some pity.

And scyther was faster than torchic.

Scyther seems to have teleported before torchic and slashed towards torchic with blinding speed.

Torchic was sent flying throughout the forest until he crashed into a wall.

'Its over.' Noah sighed as he took out torchic's pokeball.

But he stopped when he saw something unexpected.

No one had expected it.

Torchic was poisoned during the first battle.

Drained his stamina during the second one.

It was supposed to lose in the third one.

But he stood up like he wasn't the one who was sent flying away just now.

'No wait, he already lost.' Noah looked carefully and saw torchic's eyes have rolled back into it's head.

"Impressive, your torchic is still standing after fainting." Bugsy always respected strong Pokemon whether they were bug-types or not.

'Well he took out two pokemon with no experience though.' Noah felt proud of it.

He tried to recall torchic back but before he could do so torchic charged at scyther with wisps of flame in it's mouth.

He was growling while running.

Torchic's anger surpassed the laws of fainting.

Torchic jumped and held onto scyther's cleave

with his claws and if one looked carefully they can see the claw going through the cleave hand.

Torchic did not waste anymore time and blasted scyther's face with a point blank ember.

If that can even be called ember considering it almost burned the entire gym down if not for the sprinklers that was set in the room.

Torchic did not stop and kept on frying the poor bug.

Because of the fire's obstruction no one could see that a white light enveloping him.

Finally Bugsy could not take it anymore and recalled scyther back.

He then looked towards Noah and said:"I admit defeat and the badge will be given to you after I put out the fire."

'Reasonable.'

"Sure." Noah replied and waited for the flames to subside.

He sat under a tree far away from the fire and started thinking about what he should do next.

He completely forgot about the fact that his chicken was surrounded by flames.

'Today is Friday after obtaining the gym badge and healing my Pokemon I will try to catch that lapras.'

Noah wanted a good water type because he is going to explore more caves in the future.

'It was either a gyarados or lapras.'

'Gyarados is a personal favourite of mine.'

'But lapras is rare and it's species are going extinct.'

'it was a really hard choice.'

Noah chose to have both.

'If the red gyarados exists in the anime I am gonna catch it no matter what.'

Noah never watched the anime.

He then saw Lampent carrying a fainted orange chicken towards him.

It was torchic who evolved into a combusken.

'Damn it, I completely forgot about him.' Noah stormed out the gym and rushed towards the Pokemon center with his newly evolved chicken.

He can come here later for the badge.
