Chapter 101

"Razor Leaf!" I commanded.

Whipping his leafy arms while mid-air, Victreebel unleashed a rapid fire bevvy of large razor sharp leaf projectiles.

They tore through the air rapidly, and Blastoise's eyes widened. The huge turtle quickly retreated into its shell, the huge carapace gleaming slightly.

A sound like dozens of swords slashing against a steel wall ran out, with a-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick.

The shell stood strong against the barrage of attacks.

Briefly.

Bit by bit the huge shell was forced back and back, before being carried back through the air itself and slammed into a tree from the sheer force of the attacks slicing into the shell.

The tree snapped at the middle and fell backwards, while Blastoise slumped out of its shell with a groan, shaking its huge head and pushing itself up.

Heh, Victreebel and Bellossom may not be main fighters like most of my pokemon, but, that isn't because they're weak. No, they train just like all the rest of my pokemon. It's preference, not lack of strength.

They just love cuddling and playing over blood pumping battle.

"Blast!" Blastoise roared as it regained its bearings and lumbered forward before throwing itself into a lunge, a familiar roaring white aura of power, much larger than the one that surrounded the Wartortle from earlier exploding into existence around its body.

Rocketing through the air with Skull Bash, Blastoise aimed to mow Victreebel down and push on straight through to me and the rest of my pokemon, not backing down at all.

Good.

I liked that.

This turtle had some big balls to it.

"Dodge it, then Vine Whip!" I countered.

Victreebel at my order, bounced in place and then shot into the air, shooting straight above Blastoise and letting the huge water type pass right through Victreebel's previous position.

It didn't stop and continued on with its momentum, eyes meeting mine.

Before it could reach though, multiple vines erupted from Victreebel's neck and struck down like blinding fast serpents.

They as one slammed down into Blastoise's back, missing the shell entirely though and instead expertly and accurately smashing into the back of the huge water types head and slammed it into the ground, cutting off its Skull Bash enhanced momentum.

While it lay there stunned, the vines continued on, slipping around it, one wrapping around Blastoise's neck, two around its legs, two around its arms and one around its mid-section and then Victreebel landed and shrieked, then heaved Blastoise right up into the air despite its huge size and bulk.

"Blaaaaa!?" Blastoise's cried out in shock, eyes flying wide as it rose high up into the air.

To its credit, it was only surprised for a few moments before writhing and struggling with all its strength to break free.

Sadly for it, Victreebel's vines aren't quite so easy to break free from. I'd watched him crush a boulder with just one of them.

"Blaastoise!" with its struggles seeming futile, Blastoise roared once again and my eyebrows rose as its body was consumed by a massive watery aura that rocketed it higher into the air at breakneck speeds.

Aqua Jet?

Well, a pretty good attempt, but mid-air like that, with Victrebeel already rooted, means my pokemon has the most leverage here.

And Blastoise wasn't the physically stronger of the two despite its size.

Victreebel shrieked and pulled, and Blastoise was torn from the air and slammed down into the ground hard enough to quake the ground beneath my feet and create a crater beneath the fully evolved water types body.

And then it was rose back up into the air by Victreebel.

Blastoise shook its head, shaking off the blunt force impact and glared down at Victreebel, "Blast!" opening its mouth, Blastoise fired off a rapid fire barrage of glowing blue bubbles each as big as my head and as fast as bullets.

Victreebel didn't bother dodging or rather, with his position, couldn't really without loosening his grip, the bubbles slammed into Victreebel with explosive force and despite resisting the water attacks, they rocked him noticeably.

Powering through the attacks, Victreebel pulled and slammed Blastoise down into the ground once more. The bubbles continued all the way down until the turtle was slammed into the ground.

"Stun Spore!" I cut in before Victreebel once again lifted the Blastoise up into the air.

What a stubborn and durable turtle.

While Blastoise was shaking off the impact once again, Victreebel obeyed my orders and bent over, mouth facing Blastoise and spat out a massive cloud of orange spores that washed over the downed water type.

They washed over its form and sunk into its body and immediately its tense muscles went slack, its head slumping and even the scowl on its lips slipping away as it was paralysed by Stun Spore.

It wouldn't last long though.

It would be enough though.

It was time to put the training Victreebel and Bellossom had went through with Shiftry to use.

"Sunny Day then Solar Beam!" I ordered.

At my voiced commands, Victreebel rose back up, body glowing with orange-red light, before spitting out an orb of the same coloured energy that shot up into the air and ballooned in size, becoming a miniature sun that lit up the island and cast solar rays directly down upon us all.

Then Victreebel bent over once more, mouth levelled at the paralysed Blastoise. An orb of shimmering golden-white energy spiralled into existence, growing rapidly.

Within two seconds, it was so big it took up all over Victreebel's mouth, which was saying something considering he could easily fit three of me in there.

"B-bla…" Blastoise groaned and its limbs twitched, slowly it began to move and try to push itself up.

It was too late though.

Victreebel's ability after all is Chlorophyill, just like Shiftry.

With a shriek, Victreebel unleashed his attack, the orb of energy erupting into a massive blinding beam that swept over and slammed into and over Blastoise's body.

The attack continued for a few seconds, the roar of the beam drowning out all other sound, and went it finally dyed down, a massive trench had been carved through the ground and directly in the middle of the trench, kneeling on all fours, body scorched and emitting trails of smoke was Blastoise.

"Blaaaa!" its eyes glared straight at Victreebel and beyond, straight into my eyes.

It still hadn't gone down yet!?

Holy shit, this thing might be as durable as Gary's Wartortle!

Still, another round of Raz-

The glare left Blastoise's eyes and it sighed, before its eyes rolled up into the back of its head and the huge turtle collapsed face first into the dirt unconscious.

…Well that was anti-climactic.

Still, pretty impressive of it nonetheless.

Quickly palming a pokeball, I wasted no time in rushing over to the Blastoise and tapping the red and white sphere to its comatose form.

The ball clicked open and fired out a beam of red light that swept over the huge pokemon, and seconds later it was pulled inside, the ball clicking shut and vibrating lightly in my hand.

A few moments later, a familiar ping of success, the forty seventh I've heard today actually rang out from the ball as the capture succeeded and Blastoise became mine.

I stared at the pokeball for a moment, before grinning and sticking it to my belt. Thankfully, my pokedex has the transfer system that allows for the transference of pokeballs to Viridian City, though I can't call them to me without a transfer machine.

No idea how my phone has that capability to be honest, but, there's no answers I can find for how it changed, so I just gotta roll with it.

Anyway, thanks to that handy dandy feature, I'd already sent all the Squirtle and Wartortle I'd caught off to Viridian City.

'Nurse Joy is gonna end up pulling her hair out.' I couldn't help but chuckle.

I'll need to do something nice for her. Sure, the league provides funds for sponsors looking after pokemon, and the sponsor got a small little bonus added on for each pokemon they looked after, and with all the pokemon I've got Nurse Joy is bound to be making a pretty penny off of me-

But I still dumped forty four pokemon on her to look after today. Gyarados, Dragonite and Blastoise will be sticking with me for now until I get them on board with the grind train.

Shaking my head, I made my away over to Victreebel, "Good job mate, You took him down solo!" I praised.

I had to spread my arms wide to catch the huge plant pokemon as he launched at me.

Thankfully, while awkwardly shaped, he's much lighter than Golem so I could hold him mid-air as he nuzzled me without falling on my ass.
