The next battle has arrived!
Tad was walking to the next gym in the Unova region. “I hear that they have some pretty awesome fighters over there!” Tad yelled as he suddenly felt the need to dash. He dashed for the gym, but unfortunately it was closed. “I can’t even…” Tad’s voice faded as he backed up. This was awful! Tad quickly ran into the mountains to regroup.
Pohatu heard someone making a lot ruckus over by the mountains and he decided to check it out. “The shadow monsters or the Mavericks may be back,” he said as he approached the mountain. Tad punching the mountain at a pretty impressive rate. “What do you hope to accomplish?” Pohatu inquired.
“My name’s Tad and I’m going to become a Pokemon Master!” Tad said as he ignored the question. “Why?” Pohatu asked as he looked at the kid with disdain. “Because I want to be the very best, that no one ever was!” Tad said as he smirked to himself. Tad stopped punching the mountain and turned to Pohatu.
“How about it, let’s have a Pokemon battle!” Tad said as he took out his Pokeball. “Why not…let’s test the limits of your abilities!” Pohatu said as he dashed towards Tad, but the pokeball had already been dropped to the ground. A white blinding light went up around the area.
Pohatu quickly punched at Tad, but a creature had grabbed his arm. The mighty Poliwrath had entered the battle! If Poliwrath were as powerful as the legends said..then this could be a tough battle, Pohatu thought as he took out his Skyblaster. He fired, but Poliwrath countered with a Waterblast, which pushed them back.
“Poliwrath use Double Team!” Tad yelled as 6 Poliwraths appeared around Pohatu. Pohatu slashed at the first one, but it vanished into thin air. “Whether they’re illusions or after images it matters little,” Pohatu said as he kicked the ground. The tremor made the fakes disappear.
“Now where’s the real one,” Pohatu thought as he looked around. Suddenly from under him Poliwrath’s arm grabbed him and yanked him underground. “Big mistake creature, the ground is my turf,” Pohatu said as he punched Poliwrath at close range. “Poliwrath use your Mega Kick!” Tad yelled.
Poliwrath kicked Pohatu with immense power that sent him flying out of the ground. Poliwrath jumped after him and threw a solid punch. Pohatu quickly evaded, but Poliwrath shot an ice beam. The blast froze Pohatu’s legs. Pohatu quickly took out his Skyblaster, but Poliwrath crushed it in his fist.
Pohatu quickly punched the ground, which sent him back up into the air. He charged at Tad in a last ditch effort to end this. “I told you already Pohatu…I’m going to be the Pokemon Master!” Tad yelled as he jumped behind Poliwrath. “Poliwrath, use Mega Kick!” Tad yelled as Poliwrath hit Pohatu with everything he had.
Pohatu finally lost consciousness. “Good work Poliwrath,” Tad said as he returned him back to his pokeball. “Nobody’s going to stop me and anyone who tries will be crushed,” Tad grimly stated as he decided to go to Arlong Park. Meanwhile Pohatu awoke in a cave of darkness. He could sense other robots and he knew that he may have a fight on his hands!
Pohatu doesn’t punch and Poliwrath can’t learn Mega Kick. And Pohatu’s faster than that. Pohatu’s also been frozen before and smashed out of it with ease. And Pohatu’s Skyblaster is on his shoulder, so he doesn’t have to take it out so much. He also isn’t a robot, he’s more of a cyborg. But I did like some aspects like when Pohatu destroyed the illusions and some of his lines seemed like something he might say. I also liked what I presume to be hints at future fights at the end
Well, maybe most can’t, but it seems that Tad must have special learning methods

I made sure to only use attacks that his specific Poliwrath has learned so instead of a composite Poliwrath, it was this one. Pohatu doesn’t usually punch, but sometimes it just feels so satisfying to throw a nice punch. Well, Pohatu technically isn’t a robot in the technical term, but sometimes you can just use robot as a general term for machine type beings.
Yeah, I like hinting at future fights so that the stories can have a bit of continuity to them. Once a week on saturdays I choose one of the top 10 battles to turn into a story. Aside from that I’ll just pick a fight that I want to turn into a story and just have fun with it. Of course since they both have more fights on the blog, they’ll definitely be back at some point
