Ch6-Its Revenge Time

Day before the journey

As luck would have it, Riolu finally mastered bullet punch and she is also ready for official battles, she has grown a little taller now and has also grown some muscle. By the time I reach the pewter city, I can confidently say that she can wreck Brock's Onix.

I already packed everything that's needed for my journey tomorrow. Riolu learnt a lot from Arcanine and was saying her goodbyes to him, she was a bit sad but also excited for tomorrow. I opened my Pokedex and scanned her to check if everything is perfect for the journey.

'Perfect, now time for one final day in pallet town', as my brain was filled with various thoughts about tomorrow I slowly fell asleep.

I got up early and cross-checked everything. I bid my goodbyes to Oak and was readying to step out, I saw Gary and Ash waiting for me at the gate.

"Good luck out there Gunn, make sure you become the champion so that I can knock you out of that seat" said Gary.

I was surprised at his awkward and arrogant encouragement and 'I think it's his way of giving me a send-off.'

"Don't listen to him Gunn, have a great adventure and make sure to show me all the amazing Pokemon you have caught."

"Sure guys, I will do my best. Right Girl?"

"Riolu Lu"

I walk out of the town bidding my goodbye to them. I put my Riolu down and asked her

"Finally, we got our time to be alone"

Riolu nods at me.

I take out the luxury ball, "And also this is a Pokeball and I will release out as soon as you get inside, it also helps you stay inside it when you are tired."

without even thinking twice she clicks on it, soon she turns into a red light and gets sucked in, a click sound can be heard after three shakes. I release her out the very next second. She hops on to my shoulder and settles down after finding a comfortable position.

"Before we go to the next town I want you to know something, when I first came here there was this shitty shiny rat which made me bedridden for 2 months, now as I have you looking after my back, its time for a bloody revenge."

'That rattata would be a perfect and tough opponent for her, I am also sure that piece of shit would be around here and all I need is to lure it out.'

Hearing what I said, Riolu was leaking her aura out with rage. I can see her fighting spirit oozing out, this is gonna be one heck of a battle.

"Then why wait, let's go kick some ass."

I went to the same spot where I was surrounded and looked around, there was not a single sign of rattata. So, I put some pokemon food on a fallen leaf and acted like I went ahead. After some time me and Riolu slowly came back to hide in a bush. As she has prankster ability, I can use screech on it directly and then back it up with bullet punch, I can try circle throw but wild Pokemon in the game run away after using it, so I am not sure if it's the same here.

We waited for around 15 minutes and when I had the thought of giving up, I heard a sound from a bush ahead of us and it was a normal rattata, it looked around warily and then smelled at the food but surprisingly it did not eat and went back as if to call someone. After a minute, a shiny rattata came out with the normal one showing the way, it came closer to eat the food and there were no other rattata following it. I think it wants to monopolize the food as its very rare to find something specially made for Pokemon.

I was worried about the other rattatas before but now it can be one on one or maybe two on one.

I was waiting for the rattata to put its guard down so that I can sneak attack. Riou was against the idea of sneak attacking because she wanted to fight head-on but I had to explain it to her about how strong the opponent is, as it knows double edge and Ice beam. I am sure it's around level 18 in the gaming terms caz it did not evolve yet.

When it was the right time, I immediately asked her to use her most powerful move blaze kick. Riolu jumped out channelling fire energy within seconds and hit the rattata right on its torso. Not expecting the sneak attack the minion rattata was stunned and the shiny one flew like a pyro ball hitting the tree ahead.

The shiny rattata got up after giving us the look of surprise, I did not even give the time for it to think, "Riolu screech and stack it up with bullet punch", prankster gave the ability to outspeed the rattata. So, before it knew she finished Screeching and was on her face with a bullet punch. The other rattata already ran off by this time and I thought this would be more than enough to defeat it, as screech halves its defence and rattata have low defence.

But reality was shit, it was readying a double edge and I am sure Riolu can't handle a stab move of that range from a level 18 Pokemon. 'Fuck!!!!! I was so dumb to think this would be like pokemon games and I already started to panic, even screech won't be useful now.'

'think think think ah.....fckkkkkk ' then a light bulb glowed inside my head.

"Riolu use endure and screech right after that."

"lu Rioluuuuu"

Rattata came straight like a bullet and hit spot on with its double edge, I am sure it has less than half of its health with recoil and the damage done before. Riolu used screech after enduring the attack and the Rattata was stunned with recoil.

"Now use quick attack and stack it up with bullet punch."

I am sure it will faint after this because two screech attacks will take its defence to single digits and I was spot on. The moment the bullet punch hit, it was down.

Riolu's legs were shaking and she was about to faint any time now but she lifted her right hand as if forming a fist and shouted like a warrior.

"Riolu lu Rioluu"

Aura from her was leaking like ocean waves and I felt her transmission inside my head in the form of feelings 'proud and excitement ', I was happy that she can project feelings after all that meditation.

I immediately threw a Pokeball on the fainted rattata. I am sure he will fetch a good amount for his shiny colour and his move pool. If not, I will sell him to the league for research. (i smirk evilly)

The pokemon was caught without any resistance and I sprayed a basic potion on Riolu.

I patted her and said

"You were absolutely stunning in that battle my girl, I am very proud of you, now take some rest on my shoulder because you deserve it more than anyone."

I put rattata's Pokeball in my belt pouch and went towards Viridian City.

No cliffhangers XD

Fun fact:

Wobbuffet main body is simply an inflatable decoy, the real body is the small black tail with eyes that hides behind it. Because of this, Wobbuffet cannot actually attack (other than by using struggle), but instead counters opponent's attacks by bouncing back at them in true punching-bag style.
