Chapter 54: Leader of the Dead

When Pokemon go Bad #2: Leader of the Dead.



Marble was exploring the Rock Tunnel north of Lavender Town, hoping to find a lead to Dragonair’s family there. “Dum, da dum...” said Marble, as he frolicked through the cave.
“Ahh.” said a wicked looking hoodlum in the distance, staring at Marble through his sunglasses.

(!)

???: Hey kid, you’re in luck!

Marble: Huh? What do you mean?

???: If you can defeat me, I will give you the Land of the Dead badge, it will automatically fulfill your greatest dream.

Marble: Alright, you’re on!

BATTLE TIME!

Marble Vs. Chris!

Marble grabbed one of the 5 Poke Ball’s on his belt. “Go Gyarados!” he said, tossing it onto the battle.
“Gyarados!” said Gyarados, angrily wailing and leering angrily.
“Haha.” said Chris. “I’ll show you who’s gonna be in charge!” he said, smiling conceitedly. “Go Gyarados!” Chris said, throwing his own Poke Ball, unleashing his Gyarados.
“Oh wow!” said Marble, astonished at what he was seeing. Chris’s Gyarados looked like it had been enhanced by steroids. Its eyes looked scary and it wore a T-Shirt that said
“I L♥ve Toxic Waste.” “Alright Gyarados.” Marble commanded. “Use Dragon Rage!”
“Gyarados!” Marble’s Gyarados roared, and shot vicious tornadoes at Chris’s Gyarados, not appearing the least bit fazed.
“Alright Gyarados.” said Chris. “Time for a Thrashing!”
“GYARA!” said Chris’s Gyarados, much more brutally. Chris’s Gyarados jumped onto Marble’s Gyarados, beating it to a pulp.
“Oh my God! Gyarados!” screamed Marble in concern.
“Ha, do you see that I’m gonna beat you?” asked Chris.
“Return Gyarados.” said Marble, taking out another Poke Ball. “Go, Gyarados #2!”
“Gyarados!” said Marble’s second Gyarados. This Gyarados was formerly “Meaky,” and had become a bit more powerful than Marble’s original Gyarados (though the original is still strong in its own right).
“Another Gyarados?” asked Chris. “This is gonna get boring. Return Gyarados.” and Chris recalled his steroid Gyarados. “Boy, are you in for a treat!” he said with a gleeful smile, as he threw a Poke Ball revealing into a new figure.

Domino Hurley
Type: Human/Ghost
Special Ability: “Put that Away.”

“Hahaha, welcome!” said Domino Hurley. It was a small, hooded, Grim Reaper Pokemon. You could see its face, and it was a skull bearing a gregarious smile.
“What is that!?” Marble asked, having not encountered Human-Type Pokemon before. “Anyway, I will beat it, Gyarados, use Thunderbolt!” Marble commanded.
“Gyarados!” said Gyarados, crackling up electricity before shooting it towards Domino.
“Use Put That Away!” Chris commanded.
Domino pulled out a gun, pointed it in the air and said “Put that away...” the pointed the gun at Gyarados. All of a sudden, the electricity went back into Gyarados, unharming it.
“WHAT?” asked Marble, stunned. “Gyarados, use Bite!” he ordered.
“Show him to his Office!” Chris ordered to Domino.
Gyarados was launching to Domino Hurley, but Domino abruptly dodged and landed on Gyarados’s snout. “Let me show YOU to your new office!” Domino said, and smashed Gyarados’s head in with a sledge hammer.
“Oh no! Gyarados!” shouted Marble, to see his Meaky tormented like it was. “Return!” Marble said, recalling Gyarados #2.
“Alright, what’s next?” Chris casually asked.
“Nngh..” Marble grunted and grabbed his Poke Ball. “Alright, you’re up. Go Bill!”
“Psyduck!” said Bill.
“Hahaha. This one will be fun!” said Chris, throwing his Poke Ball revealing another new figure.

Mr. Math
Type: Human/Normal
Special Ability: Calculator Smack

“Hi everybody!” said Mr. Math with a smile. It was a medium sized, nerd looking math geek. He wore a white button up shirt, had pens in his pockets and seemed to have calculators attached to his hands.
“Mr. Math, use Numbers!” Chris commanded.
“The square root of a googol plex to the socatoa to the ed-it-it-it...” Mr. Math started to ramble on and on with nobody listening.
“Psy.....” Bill said, and fell asleep.
“Bill! Wake up!” Marble shouted.
“Nah-ah.” Chris said. “Mr. Math, Calculator Smack!”
“Certainly!” said Mr. Math, and he jumped up in the sky and with a calculator in hand, smacked Bill’s head in. Bill lay on the floor fainted.
“Agh! How can this guy be so powerful!” said Marble.
“Alright, I got one Pokemon left.” said Chris. “Are you gonna make this last fight interesting?”
“Go Dragonair!” said Marble, throwing a Poke Ball.
“Dragonair!” said Dragonair, ready to battle.
“Then lets go, Gigolopuff!” Chris said, throwing a Poke Ball to reveal a Jigglypuff.
“Jigo-low, PUFF!” said the Jigglypuff. It was definitely male, was muscle bound, had a goatee and mustache, and was wearing blue flare sunglasses.
“Attack with Bind!” Chris said. Gigolopuff obeyed, apparently knowing the move, and launched hair from under his armpits, binding Dragonair with a nasty stench.
“Dragonair!” said Dragonair.
“Dragonair, we will not stand for this!” Marble said, pissed off at this guys dominance. “Use Fire Blast!” Marble commanded!
“Dragon!” said Dragonair, and it breathed flames from its snout and burned Gigolopuff's hair up, and its body.
“Jigo-low!” said Gigolopuff.
“Now use your own Wrap!” Marble commanded. Dragonair wrapped the body of Gigolopuff, overpowering it and causing it to faint.

BATTLE END!

Chris: Ah, looks like I win, with 3-1!

Marble: What are you? I’ve never seen such Pokemon before!

Chris: Your worst nightmare!

*Chris vanishes*

Marble: Huh? Where did he go?

Chris was at the Pokemon Center outside of Rock Tunnel’s North Entrance, he appeared to be waiting. A convertible pulled up and in it was Steve & Bob and Bob’s Meowth. “Hey Chris, how did it go with you?” asked Steve.
“I murdered a Kangashkhan!” said Chris. “Baby was scared to death!” Chris said Cruelly.
“Well, get in!” said Bob. “We’re gonna go to the Southern Islands!” said Bob.
“Yeah, we know of someone going.” said Meowth in his Brooklyn Gangster accent.
“Hah, sounds like real fun.” said Chris, hopping into the convertible. “Say, where did you pick this baby up from?” he asked, noting the car.
