System In Pokemon World! - Chapter 6

The first thing I did was enter the Pokemon Center to provide proper care for my pokemon and was reprimanded again for not feeding them properly. I began to question my choices of feeding my pokemon the store pokemon food and fruits we find in the journey.

Honestly I thought fruits were healthy for pokemon but it appears I was wrong. I waited for a few minutes and my pokemon were given back to me. I took them to the room to rest for the rest of the day since spending around a week or so in a forest fighting to become stronger was tough.

I knew that there has to be a balance between training hard and resting well. I also took the time to get to know them better while asking if they would prefer eating whatever the Pokemon Center gave them or what I gave them.

They preferred what I gave them even though Nurse Joy of Viridian City and Pewter city did not think highly of it considering their previous feedback. Oh well, I will just have to learn how to better prepare food for them since I knew little of it.

That gave me an idea. Looking into the system I looked for any skill/knowledge related to grooming pokemon and found bunches which were inexpensive. One of the low cost ones was the Pokemon Center food which was shocking.

Reading into the description I learned that the food was mainly focused on recovery and not too much on nutritional value all around. In other words, the food was perfect for recovery since it provides the nutrients for that but not for the growth of the pokemon.

Deciding to invest my points after defeating Brock into this I began planning my strategies. I knew Brock would have Geodude as well as Onix but it would always be best to prepare for anything unexpected. This was after all a different world and if Ash wasn’t around what else could change too?

Finishing our resting we headed for the gym since I felt that we were well prepared for the challenge already. Entering I looked around calmly since my pokemon were inside their pokeballs to not cause a panic.

This was also mainly because Beedrills weren’t seen as lovable bugs considering their nature overall. There was no field but I knew that it was just hidden away at the moment and could appear whenever the gym leader wanted. That is also one of the reasons I did not intrude too deeply.

Suddenly the lights turned on followed by the voice of Brock who said “Another new challenger that has just gotten his starter pokemon I presume considering the previous 4 trainers have all come from Pallet Town.”

I looked calmly at Brock who still had his ever closed eyes and green jacket. I shook my head and said “Everything except the starter pokemon. I caught my own starter instead of being handed one.” Brock nodded as he held no real opinion of such actions and said “I see but you are still to challenge my gym and I accept.”

The ground suddenly parted as a field began to rise. I waited a bit before stepping onto the stage. Brock simply jumped on it trying to fit his role as Gym leader. I didn’t mind since I always enjoyed a good role play when it comes to these things.

Grinning I wanted to build up my own momentum and said “I will beat you and get the Boulder Badge!” Brock nodded and said “I admire your spirit but it will take more than spirit to beat me. It will be a three one three battle. The trainer is allowed to exchange their pokemon during the fight while the gym leader can’t. I will be the referee.”

I nodded realizing that there was already a deviation between the game/anime and reality. Taking out a pokeball Brock threw it shouting “Go Geodude!” Geodude that was similar to a rock with bulky arms appeared saying “Geo dude.”

Thinking of my strategy I said “Go Butterfree!” Butterfree appeared pumped up for its first gym battle. I drilled the fact that this match was going to be one of the hardest the both will face. They took my word for it considering how Butterfree looked fired up.

Smiling I said “Butterfree use Tackle!” Butterfree swooped down and began heading towards Geodude. Brock was quick to respond “Geodude use Rock Throw!” I waited for Geodude to pick up a rock before shouting “Fly up and use Stun Spore!”

Butterfree flew up dodging the rock and began using Stun Spore. Brock shouted “Quick Geodude use Rollout!” Sadly it was too late as Geodude began using Rollout the stun spore had already covered its body causing it to stop a bit after.

Grinning I said “Use Confusion and Tackle until Geodude faints!” Brock shouted “Geodude use harden and try to endure until Stun Spore is over!” Butterfree did one of each attack while I said “In that case use Poison Powder and further weaken it!” Butterfree listened to my command and poisoned Geodude who wasn’t looking too good anymore.

After a few more minutes Geodude wasn’t able to endure and fainted. I said “Great job Butterfree but the real fight starts here.” Butterfree cheered “Freee~” Brock returned Geodude to its pokeball while saying “Not bad. You tricked me with that initial Tackle but you already planned everything out. Sadly you won’t beat my next pokemon. Go Graveler!”

I frowned and said “The evolve form of Geodude. Quite a dangerous opponent for my pokemon but I can deal with it.” Brock smiled and said “I will be looking forward to it. Now then! Graveler use Rollout and knock Butterfree out of the sky!”

I shouted “Butterfree fly up and use Web Field and keep dodging Graveler!”

AN: Yes! I gave it a name! It sounds good considering that string shot used in a wide scale created such a field in my mind. Butterfree flew up into the air and began spraying a white mist while trying its best to avoid Graveler.

Sadly Graveler speed was superior to Butterfree’s and Butterfree was hit once slamming it against the ceiling but holding strong it continued while I shouted “Use Stun Spore with Web Field!” Suddenly the white mist became yellowish and Graveler who was moving around slowed down to a stop.

Brock was shocked at the result as he said “Impossible! Graveler try to break free!” Graveler who was using Rollout fell victim to the field and Stun Spore. The more it rolled the more it wrapped itself in the sticky web while Stun Spore added the killing blow completely paralyzing Graveler into an immobile state.

I shouted “Alright Butterfree! Defeat Graveler with Confusion and Psybeam!” Butterfree began relentlessly attacking Graveler who kept struggling until it completely stopped moving. Sighing Brock withdrew his become and said “What a terrifying field. Where did you learn such a move?”

I shrugged and said “An old man taught it to me. He was very wise and also insane.” Brock nodded and said “I see. Well then, for my last Pokemon its Onix!” Onix appeared startling Butterfree who went towards me. It was breathing heavily and looked a bit roughed up.

I knew that Graveler Rollout did a large amount of damage and it was already a miracle Butterfree could fly. Leaning down I patted Butterfree head and said “Good work. Take a good rest.” Butterfree nodded as I returned it to my pokeball.

Taking out Beedrill pokeball I said “This is my second pokemon and also my last pokemon with me at the moment. Come out Beedrill!” Beedrill appeared with its red eyes staring down Brock’s Onix. It was clearly excited for a battle against Brock’s Onix as it was flying from side to side.

Brock shouted “Onix use Rock Throw!” I shouted “Beedrill use Rage and attack with String Shot onto Onix eyes!” Beedrill eyes glowed with intensity as it used Rage and shot several shots of String Shot trying to blind Onix without luck.

Onix dug its tail into the ground before yanking it throwing something only in my nightmares could dream of. I wasn’t afraid of Rock Throw previously since Beedrill could dodge it by flying around Onix but the current Rock Throw I was terrified.

I quickly shouted “Beedrill use Fury Attack and make a hole to pass through!” The Rock Throw Onix used was different as the terrain was changed thanks to Web Field. A bunch of rocks covered with web making appear like a net flew towards Beedrill.

Beedrill sensing my urgency tried to strike as fast as it could to make an opening from this net but it was useless as Beedrill slammed onto the ground caught by the remaining strands of the web that it didn’t cut through in time.

Seeing this Brock shouted “Onix use Headbutt and finish it!” Gritting my teeth my brain ran several possibilities but none allowed my Beedrill to escape. I deciding to do an all or nothing move “Beedrill use full power Poison Sting attack!”

Beedrill who managed to make enough room to use its arm stabbed forward with all its strength as Onix Headbutt landed causing the rocks to explode outward and a layer of dust to cover the area that it struck.

I sighed knowing Beedrill fainted already but I kept looking on. Once the dust cleared it revealed Beedrill who has indeed fainted but also Onix who had a large crack running across its head. I was astonished as Onix suddenly roared in pain.

Calling back Beedrill Brock shouted worriedly “Onix are you okay!?” Onix calmed down and looked at Brock nodding even though it was clearly in pain. Brock asked “Onix can you continue to battle?” Onix nodded with determination.”

Taking out Butterfree I said “Well, were down to our last pokemons. Go Butterfree.” Brock smiled and said “I won’t lose after that! Onix use another Rock throw and defeat Butterfree!” I shouted “Butterfree dodge it and use confusion on Onix head!”

Onix threw rocks covered with web at Butterfree but knowing what would have happened I had Butterfree dodge first and attacked using Confusion causing Onix to fall on the ground. Onix had yet to faint but it was having difficulty getting up. Brock gripped his fists wanting to stop the match but being the Gym Leader he couldn’t do such a thing lightly.

Sighing I noticed both their pain. In the end I said “I surrender. Let’s go Butterfree. You guys did great.” Butterfree flew towards me landing on my head and began resting. Brock was shocked as he said “Wait! Don’t go! The match isn’t over!”

I shook my head and said “It was over the moment your Onix suffered that injury. Don’t go pushing your luck. Take it to the pokemon center quickly and heal it.” I walked out rubbing Butterfree head and complimenting it for its efforts.

It was just a badge and I had two years to win it. There was no rush in all honesty. Brock looking at Onix quickly withdrew it and did what I said to do. He went to the pokemon center as quic
