Chapter 9 New Friend, New Rival, New Move

A New World, A New Journey

Adrienne and her Pokemon are under OC contract by Spyder Rider. Thanks for helping me with this chapter and borrowing them to me. You should check out his stories as well.

Argons POV

Right after the introduction between Calem and Adrienne, they decided on a three on three match. The one who wins two of three wins the match.

So far, Thumper lost against her shiny Phantump named Peppermint and Kitsune seems to win the battle against the shiny Tailow named Ace. And here it is.

"Kitsune! Flamethrower!" called Calem and Kitsune hit Ace with the Flamethrower, knocking him out.

"Well, that's one to one now. The next battle decides." said Adrienne after making sure Ace was ok. She doesn't seem to mind the lose and was rather excited for the final Battle.

Calem had a smile himself on his face as he took my Pokeball in his hand. "Alright then. Here comes my last Pokemon. Argon! Take the field!" And with that, he throw my Pokeball and released me. I got in my now typical battle stance and waited for my Opponent to be send out. I was totally nervous. This was going to be my third battle and so far, I had one win and two loses (I count the Toxicroak as my first defeat and Calem's recall in the second gym battle as my second).

"Alright, Shadow! Let's finish this!" Said Adrienne and released a Frogadier. That's not going to be easy. I maybe have the type advantage, but not only was he evolved, but I didn't know any good grass type moves. I only had Absorb, but not much practice with it.

Or, to make it short, this could be my third defeat.

But I will make sure to go down with a fight!

"Argon! Quick Attack!" Called Calem and I started running towards Shadow while concentrating energy in my legs like I learned to get faster. I slammed into him, but it seems to have no big effect on him.

"Not bad. But to beat me, you need more as that." said Shadow. It wasn't a taunting tone but more of advice.

"That was just the beginning." I said to him.

His eyes started to glow and a rainbow colored beam shoot from his forehead as he used Extrasensory. He hit me and I stumbled back a few meters. He didn't gave me time to recover as he followed with a Dark Pulse attack.

I managed to get up and used Agility to barely dodge the next Dark Pulse. I run around him and attack with Quick Attack anytime I saw an opening... which wasn't often. Occasionally I got to use Iron Tail to try and lower his defense.

"Your Treecko is really fast. But it doesn't seem to have much battle experience." commented Adrienne.

"Maybe. But he already managed to beat a Gym-Leader Pokemon." said Calem. "In the end, it's all strategy."

"That's true. And here is my strategy for a Type disadvantage. Shadow! Ice Beam!" called Adrienne.

Shadow opened his mouth and a ice blue sphere formed before several blue beams shoot out and tried to hit me. I dodged as best as I could, but got hit in the end. My feet were now frozen to the ground and I couldn't move away.

Calem called to me to use Iron Tail to break the ice, but a second Ice Beam froze my Tail to the ground.

"Sorry, but that's it for you." said Shadow as he prepared another Ice Beam.

"Damn! If that hits me, I will be down for sure." I thought and looked down at the ice covering my feet. "What can I do?" I looked over to Calem and he doesn't seem to have an idea either.

"I can't lose... not again... I already beat an Gym Leader Pokemon in my first official battle!" I thought angrily.

Calem's POV

"Damn! I really didn't expected her to use Ice Beam. What can I do?" I thought and started to think about different tactics. But no one of them would really work...

*BAM!* *BAM* *BAM*

I heard something that sounded like punching and looked up to see what it could have been. I saw Shadow stopped his Ice Beam, probably surprised by the sound as well, and look ahead. I turned to see what he was looking at and saw Argon punching the ice around his feet with his fists again and again. His punches getting stronger with every hit.

But what surprised me more, was the sound he was making with each Punch...

"Geck! Arbor! Geck! Arbor!"

I never heard a Pokemon saying something else as their name. Except for Psychic types who could talk in our language per Telepathy. But Treecko is not a Psychic type and from the look of confusion from Shadow, I would say, even he don't know what Argon is saying.

I could see the anger on Argons face. He seems to really don't want to lose against Shadow. Probably thinking I would be disappointed with him. The punches got harder and I could even see his fists getting a bit red.

I was about to shout out to him to stop before he would seriously hurt himself. But then, his fist started to glow and I thought he was using pound, but was proven wrong when the glow stopped and his fist was now covered in a metallic color. With one last punch with his now steel fist, he broke the Ice that had trapped him.

We all stood still as we witnessed Argon breaking the ice with his new attack. He just stood there with his fist still on the ground where the ice was and trying to catch his breath.

He then stood up and hold his fist in front of him, looking at it with surprise. I don't think he actually expected that to work. He looked over to Shadow and smirked while speaking in his normal language again: "Tree tree."

Even if I couldn't understand Pokespeak, I know what he was saying. "Round two." I came out of my wonder and prepared for the counter attack.

Argons POV

"Never thought that would really work. I only wrote about this move in my own FanFictions and never thought it could be real. But I just created a new move!" I thought giddily as I looked at the shocked face of Shadow and heard Calem giving orders again.

With a Quick Attack I closed the distance between us and then used my new move, which Calem called fittingly *Iron Fist* to hit Shadow in the face and throw him a few feet away. Keeping up with our temporally advantage, I continued with another Quick Attack and an Iron Tail.

Shadow and Adrienne recovered quickly and countered with another Ice Beam. I don't let it hit this time and dodged with Agility. I got behind Shadow and used another Iron Tail. But he was still standing. "What does it take to get him down?" I asked myself and prepared another Quick Attack. I really need to learn more moves.

The fight was really dragging on now and we all were heavily breathing from exhaustion. Shadow and me were pretty beaten up by now as well.

Adrienne looked to Calem and said: "Alright. I think the next attack will decide."

"Let's finish this then. Argon! Use Iron Fist!" Yelled Calem.

"Stop him with Ice Beam!" Countered Adrienne.

I run forward and my right arm turned Metal again. Shadow use his Ice Beam, but I was nearly able to dodge him. He got my right arm, which was now covered in an block of ice. But I didn't sopped and run forward.

Before he could use another Attack, I slammed my Ice covered fist in his face and send him flying and rolling over the ground. I stopped and tried to catch my breath while I shockingly saw him standing up again. He looked at me and smiled before he fell over again and kept now lying there unconscious.

I looked for a moment stunned and then smirked lightly while saying to myself: "That makes 2 wins..."

I was suddenly scooped up from behind and found myself in a tight hug by my Trainer Calem who was jumping in joy. He stopped and hold me under my arm pits in front of him while he bombarded me with questions: "THAT WAS AWESOME, ARGON! I didn't know you could do an attack like that! Where have you learned that? Did someone taught it you? Did you make this up yourself? And what's up with that strange words you spoke?"

I just stared at him overwhelmed from the questions. He calmed down and sighed. "Sorry. I forgot you can't speak our language."

He sat me down on the ground and said: "Are you ok? I will get you and the others soon to the Pokecenter. But I think we have something else to do first." He said and I nodded. He then walked over to Adrienne, who helped Shadow up. I followed him over and got to Shadow, who looked not really upset from the lost battle.

He saw me approach and smiled as he held his hand out to me. "That was a good fight. I really didn't expected that new move or you suddenly speaking a different Language."

I took his hand and shook it while wincing a bit from the still fresh wounds from hitting the ice so hard, now that the Adrenaline is wearing off. "Well, I didn't really expected this to work. I think it was just luck on my side."

Shadow shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest and said with a serious tone: "It needs more as just luck to create a new attack in the middle of a battle and even more skill to master it so fast."

I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment by his praise. "Thanks..." I said.

Shadow chuckled and moved back to his trainer while saying: "I'm sure we will meet again, Argon. I'm expecting you to become even stronger and give me the chance of a rematch."

I smiled at the thought of getting another chance for an awesome match like that and said: "You can bet on it!" I think I just made not only another friend, but a rival as well. Never had I this much fun in my life. I thought back to my old life as a human and how hard it was for me to make friends there and how much I have already made at my first days here.

I was swooped up again by Calem and he sat me on his shoulder where I hold myself with one arm on his head steady to not fall down. "Alright, Argon. I got Adrienne's Holo-Caster number, so we can stay in contact."

I looked at him with an raised eyebrow and knowing smile. Calem saw that and stuttered while getting a bit red. "Äh öh... I mean... to... stay in contact for... a rematch! And to... exchange tactics and... tips..." I just nodded slowly and looked away.

"You are just jealous!" said Calem and walked to the Pokecenter to get us healed.

"That was fun." I thought as I snickered in silent.
