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!
