Now here is what you all have been waitin' for!
Chapter 3: Can you FACE the heat?
After an astonishing rescue by Max, John and his fellow Pokemon have started to hit the road again!
"Man, I wonder how Max was able to get to us that quickly, eh Charmander?" John said.
"Char, Charmander," Charmander said, walking with more confidence this time. The pair walked in silence for a while, until a voice yelled, "LOOK OUT!!!" A boy that looked around the age of eleven was running swiftly toward John and Charmander. At first, John thought nothing was wrong, that was until a whole bunch of Pidgey started to chase down the brown-haired boy.
"We need help Eevee!" John screamed as he tossed Eevee's Pokeball.
"Eevee,vee!" Eevee exclaimed.
"Eevee! Use Growl to scare those Pidgey away!" John commanded. The Eevee yowled out a vicious growl attack and the Pidgey made a wise choice and backed off. "Good job Eevee, now return and have a nice rest."
"Whoa, thanks sir, I thought I was gonna be Pecked to death by those Pidgey," the boy said sheepishly.
"It's o.k, just don't call me sir, who are you?"
"I'm Mark, and I'm trying to find a guy named John, you know him?" Mark said.
"Why?" John said suspiciously.
"I really want to battle him, he's got like the best lookin' Eevee, and I want it REALLY badly," Mark said.
"Mark, I AM John," John said uncomfortably. Did Mark want his Eevee?
"Wh-, wh-, HOW DID YOU GET THE EEVEE?!"
"Uhh.... let's say it was very cheap and some guy sold it to me."
"Oh, YEAH? Well let's have a quick battle, one-on-one, and the winner gets the other guy's Pokemon of their choice!" Mark said seethingly.
"Hold on! You can't just battle for another guy's good partner, it's like some guy kidnapping your Pokemon!" John said. "But I won't back down from a battle though! Let's just forget about a refer-"
"I'll be the ref," a running Max said, as he sprinted toward the two of them. "I heard one-on-one, right?"
"Yeah, winner gets the guy's Pokemon of their choice," Max said.
"Fine, it's your Pokemon," Max said. "Get into place now, ALL RIGHT! This will be a one-on-one Pokemon battle with John from Pallet town and this guy from somewhere!"
"That's Mark from Viridian to you, stupid," Mark said, expressing anger on his face. "Yeah, and I choose you, Machop!!"
"Charmander! He's all yours!!" John said.
"Hey, Machop is a girl, so be quiet," Mark said.
"Oh," John muttered, he had never seen a girl Machop.
"BEGIN!" Max yelled.
"Machop! Karate Chop Charmander!"
"Dodge quick, then Scratch!" John said.
"Heh, I was expecting Apple Throw..." Max said. Machop had clearly missed his karate chop, and Charmander hit full force with his claws, knocking Machop down, but not out.
"Machop, SEISMIC TOSS!!" Mark screamed, as Machop began to reach for the fire lizard.
"Charmander, full power Ember!" John yelled. Machop was again on the ground, but this time John seized his chance.
"Charmander, finish him off with SLASH!!" John said. This time, Mark was ready,
"MACHOP!! EARTHQUAKE!!" Mark yelled at the top of his lungs. Machop crashed the ground, and Charmander was immobilized. "Now Mega Punch him!" Charmander was knocked flat onto the ground, and he was critically injured.
"CHARMANDER!! NOO!" John yelled in despair. At that, Charmander got up and unleashed a huge Flamethrower attack.
"CHAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!" Charmander bursted out.
"Machop! Use REVERSAL!!" Mark screamed.
Both attacks clashed, and a huge explosion had occurred. Will Machop win the battle, and will John's Eevee be Mark's? Or will Charmander come out on top, and will one of Mark's Pokemon be John's? Find out soon!!
Phew... 46:32 of working! That's 42 minutes and 32 seconds, COMMENT!
