Chapter 20: VS. Typhlosion!
Reaching into his pocket, Gold brought out a Pokeball, containing his Typhlosion. He quickly glanced back at Diamond and Dawn before looking back at the Blizzard that was about to approach him. He tossed the Pokeball in front of him, releasing his starter Pokemon, Typhlo, the Typhlosion.
Upon being released, Typhlo quickly banished the ice storm with a phenomenal Flame Wheel. Typhlo curled into a ball, releasing flames from the fire on the back of it's neck. Once it was finished, the stage was slightly flooded with water.
Dawn squeaked a bit as she splashed in the water, "Ah! My shoes!"
Diamond sneered as he thought to himself, "Who is this guy...-gasp-. Wait a minute!"
...
...
"It appears a young boy and his Typhlosion are trying to calm the Red Gyarados. Oh bless his heart! Oh my! The boy has_____"
...
...
Diamond realized that Gold was the boy who was on the documentary he saw earlier in the year.
He looked to Dawn, as Dexter and Queen completely unthawed, "Dawn, let's get outta here. This guy can handle Uranus."
Dawn returned Queen, as Diamond returned Dexter, "This is our fight, too!"
Diamond shook his head, "No, we have to leave. He can take care of this!" He immediately ran out of the Contest Arena, with Dawn reluctantly following.
---
"Argh...you're not going to get away this, boy!" Uranus said as she pressed a button on her orange jump suit. The suit began to form around her body into a copperhead orange armor. She extended her hand as she held Froslass's Pokeball in it, "We will finish this."
A red beam shot from her Pokeball, as she returned the Ice/Ghost Pokemon. A jet pack came onto her back as she blasted off towards the ceiling, wit Gold staring up at her as she exited.
"That's still gross. Your anus. I mean, who comes up with these names?"
---
Nightfall had came upon Hearthome City.
Diamond sighed as he rested his cheek in his palm, while waiting for his Pokemon to be healed at the local Pokemon Center. He was sitting at a table, across from his mother, and unfortunately, Dawn.
"I still say we shouldn't have ran out! We could've defeated that old lady. She even got away because of you!" she slammed her fist down onto the table.
Diamond sighed thinking to himself, "I wish I could calculate a way to shut this chick up!"
A ding came from the desk as Diamond, being the gentleman he was, retrieved his and Dawn's Pokeballs.
Diamond's mother looked at the two uneasy, "You two really shouldn't be fighting like this. It isn't necessary."
"What do you mean it isn't necessary, mother!?"
Diamond's mother furrowed her brows as she stood up a little as if to say, "Who are you raising your voice to, young man?"
"Sorry mom..." Diamond slouched down in his seat.
The doors of the Pokemon Center slid open as two familiar face walked into it.
---
To the right was Pearl, with a new Pokemon by his side. It was a small, chubby, pink Pokemon with a fake egg in it's pouch.
To the left was Gold, grinning, "Heh, that's right, I had that old hag runnin'!"
Pearl beamed and said, "No kidding?"
"I don't kid!"
"Seriously?"
"Serious!"
"You lie!"
"I tell the---"
"SHUT UP!!!" Diamond sat up, annoyed by the two's conversations, "We get it, okay!!??"
---
Gold lowered his eyelids as he wagged his finger at Diamond, "Is that how you react to the guy that saved you?"
"You didn't save anybody," Diamond said, "I decided to walk out. Let you handle it."
Pearl snickered and said, "About time Diamond didn't play hero!"
Diamond sneered at Pearl, but then looked to his ankles, noticing the pink Pokemon clinging to Pearl's pant leg, "Happiny!"
Diamond snickered a bit, "A Happiny, Pearl?"
Pearl groaned uneasily, "Ah, a hiker gave'er to me. He said it was a powerful Pokemon inside, wasn't expecting a Happiny. Gold here managed to help it hatch quickly, though. He's amazing! It was like magic!"
---
Diamond's mother giggled and said, "Well then, you're an all around amazing guy, aren't you?"
Gold immediately grabbed Diamond's mother's hand and kissed it, "That I am, Miss."
Diamond stood up, a vein appearing on his four head as he slammed his palms onto the table, "Alright, that's it! Me and you outside!"
Pearl's eyes widen, "Ah, Diamond, I've never seen you so angry? You're...acting out of character!"
Diamond glared at Pearl, "You shut it!!!" He pointed to Gold, "Right now!!!"
Gold grinned as he held his hands up, closing his eyes, "Fine...fine..."
---
Out in the dark streets of Hearthome stood Diamond, standing a few feet away from Gold.
Gold, being the person he was, had an overconfident look on his face, and rightfully so. He was a more experience Pokemon Trainer than Diamond, even though he was a Breeder.
Diamond, still angry, took out a Pokeball and threw it forward, releasing Sam, his Kirlia, "Don't screw this up Sam! You've been screwing up a lot lately!"
Sam gulped a bit, "Kir..."
Gold, took out his Billiard's Cue as he lobbed a Pokeball into the air. He gently tapped the Pokeball with the Cue as it burst open, releasing his Typhlosion, Typhlo.
Diamond proceeded, "Psybeam!"
Sam's eyes started to glow as cupped it's hands together, releasing a beam of rainbow colors toward Typhlo.
"Flame Wheel!"
Typhlo curled into a ball and zipped forward, it's body becoming engulfed in flames. True enough, the beam hit Typhlo, but the Typhlosion kept on wheeling towards Sam, before hitting the Kirlia dead on, sending it sailing into a lamp post.
Diamond clenched his fists, "Sam! You haven't gotten any stronger since you've evolved! Get it together, now!"
Sam slowly stood before teleporting behind Typhlo.
Gold smirked, wiping his nose.
---
"Diamond sure is putting a lot on Sam." Pearl whispered to Dawn,
Dawn nodded and said, "Yeah, he's been acting weird lately."
Diamond's mother had left to hotel, just before the battle.
---
"Swift, Typhlo!"
Typhlo somersaulted forward and turned around to face Sam, now releasing golden stars directly at the Kirlia.
Again Sam was battered and beaten to a pulp, now lying there, defeated.
Diamond exhaled deeply from his nostrils, "Ugh!!! Sam, you weak idiot!"
Sam slowly came to, just in time to heed its trainer's words.
"Sam, you weak idiot!"
"Sam, you weak idiot!"
"Sam, you weak idiot!"
---
Sam slowly stood as it turned to the forest, "Kirlia. Kir." Without a second thought, Sam had disappeared into the bushes.
Diamond, still in rage, turned his back as well, "Good riddance."
Pearl shook his head as he walked past Diamond, "Not cool, man..."
Dawn shook her head as well, leaving the area with Pearl.
Gold returned Typhlo as he walked toward Diamond, "All jokes aside, now. Me being a breeder, I understand what a Pokemon truly feels. Your Kirlia feels that you haven't been treating it well or trusting it. And it seems that your friends now don't trust you."
Diamond watched Gold leave behind Pearl and Dawn and then looked back over to where Sam had vanished. He slowly bit his bottom lip, exhaling deeply, and then turned to walk out of Hearthome City.
