Ok, so we ended up resting two days before all of us grew sick of it and started training hard again.
I learned something great, all of us can barley sit still longer then five minutes before wanting to something.
So we went back into training, Haunter wanted to start messing about with [Shadow Ball] [Dark Pulse] [Shadow Punch] and [Shadow Claw] to try making something cool. He still didn't manage to get it, but he's working on it and showing some good progress.
Eevee was finally almost done with her moves, she had trained them pretty well and mastered most of them. She was now practicing control with her body. To move just as wants, and exactly how much she wants to move.
Koraidon, she spent the entire time mastering her [Flamethrower] attack to perfection. The flames had gone from yellow-orange to reddish now. I'm so proud.
Perhaps one day her flames will burn white. That's for the future though. She is now designated campfire starter though, she wore the title with pride.
"Hey you let's battle again!" That same person Eevee swept before appeared again and I sighed, and sent Eevee out again.
This was their fifth time rechallenging me and I was honestly getting sick of it. I wanted them to fuck off, because at this point I'm contemplating murder.
"Fine, but this is the last time, this is exhausting, at least get stronger a lot before challenging me again." I said as I ordered Eevee to attack and watched her sweep the fools whole team, again.
Six times in a row, truly an idiot. All six of his pokemon swept, I know my dear little Eevee wasn't the strongest pokemon, but damn did it same something when she could sweep a whole team without getting hit more then twice, and those had been mere grazes too.
"Fine you meanie!" They yelled before running off and I sighed in annoyance and moved off to finish my run. I was going to take a nap afterwards.
(I'm not sure, but this might become a running gag lol. Ash has Jessie, James and Meowth. Raven has this nameless idiot.)
•~~~~•
Raven smiled as he approached the gym, they had trained for this, and they would be damned if they didn't do well.
"Hello, I have an appointment for Raven Inanis, 2pm." I said as I approached the lady as I entered the gym.
"Oh yes, Mr. Inanis, I see you are here for your fourth gym badge yes?" She asked and I nodded. "Good, go on in and follow the signs directing you to the battle area." She said and I did that.
Mid walk however I paused and looked up at a man dressed in a purple ninja suit with a red scarf/mouth cover. I had heard the quiet creaking of the support beam. Perhaps this was a test?
"So I've been spotted. Well done trainer. I am Gym Leader Koga of Fuchsia City. I must remark your excellent hearing." Koga said as he dropped down to the ground and revealed his face.
"Only a fool doesn't train their senses if they intend to venture the wilds." I replied and he nodded in agreement before we moved to the battle arena, a dreary place with just enough light, as expected of the poison type gym.
"Now, referee." Koga said and I glanced upwards, because why not assume, and another person dropped down holding two flags in hand in the spot for the referee.
"This is a gym battle between Gym Leader Koga and Trainer Raven Inanis. This battle is fourth gym badge battle. 3 Pokemon will be used and only the challenger may substitute. Gym leader starts. Begin!" The referee declared and Koga grabbed his first pokeball and tossed it out.
"Muk!"
Ok, we can handle this first opponent.
"It's time for some fun, Haunter!" I spoke as Haunter started rising from my shadow behind me cackling away before he moved in front of me.
"Muk let's start things off with [Toxic]!" Koga ordered and I smiled. It was time to try something and hope for the best.
"Haunter, eat it." I declared to the astonishment of Koga and the referee.
"Haunter! Kakaka!" Haunter flew forward and opened his mouth wide and ate the poison in its entirety. Not a single drop spilled.
For a moment I grew worried that the poison was too much, but my worries were unfounded.
You see, we had been training in the forest and I had a thought, Haunter gleefully liked to suck on poison orbs like they were sucker candy, so he was basically ingesting the amount of poison enough to fully poison a pokemon with a lick, so why couldn't he eat such an attack?
So we found some poison type pokemon in the forest and had them use [Toxic] and Haunter swallowed it, I had antidotes on hand of course. Haunter managed to get them down like they were snacks, however I worried as the poison type gym leader Koga's Pokémon's poison would be much more potent then the forest pokemon, which I could tell it was by the look of it.
Haunter however only cackled away with much more energy, and I grinned, oh yes, this was just as I wanted.
"Good job Haunter. Now, let's have some fun. [Shadow Punch]!" I declared as Haunter cackled and two shadow fist appeared besides Muk and hit him hard.
"[Dark Pulse]" I declared a moment afterwards, and it seemed Koga snapped out of his shock, what a shitty ninja, and responded back.
"[Protect]!" Koga ordered and watched curiously as [Dark Pulse] slammed into [Protect] and harmlessly splashed over it.
Perfect.
"[Hypnosis] and [Lick] I ordered before the shield even fell apart and Haunter cackled as he made Muk fall asleep and licked him with his tongue, however luck wasn't with us as Muk only fell asleep and didn't get paralyzed. Oh well.
"[Hex] twice over!" I ordered and Haunter cackled again before he used Hex dealing massive damage to Muk. "Finish it off with [Shadow Ball]!" I said immediately after just as Muk awoke, but Koga was a gym leader and wouldn't get one last lick off.
"[Disable]!" He ordered just before the [Shadow Ball] landed onto Muk who was knocked unconscious.
"Well done challenger, but don't get cocky, let's go Venomoth!" Koga tossed out his next Pokemon. "Venomoth use [Supersonic] and [Stun Spore]!" Koga ordered immediately afterwards and I smiled.
Nice try Koga, but you wouldn't get us that easily.
"Haunter, disappear!" I ordered immediately in return and Haunter sunk into the ground. A moment later a solid shadowy fist smacked Venomoth.
"Venomo!" It cried out as it tried to prevent itself from crashing into the ground and just barley made it.
"Venomoth are you ok?" Koga asked and got a fluttery nod. "Good. Once you see Haunter, use [Psybeam]!" Koga ordered and Haunter's cackle was heard all around.
"[Confuse Ray]" I ordered and Haunter cackled as he floated down from the ceiling, seriously do ninja of all people not look up?
However a [Protect] sprung up blocking the [Confuse Ray] and letting a solid [Psybeam] hit Haunter who was sent to the ground, however he managed to recover and fly through the ground instead of slamming into it.
"Good job Haunter, now use Payback!" I declared as Haunter cackled as he appeared below Venomoth and landed the attack full force dealing double damage since he was just hit.
"Veno!" Venomoth cried out as it flew up into the ceiling and then slammed back down onto the ground unconscious.
"You did well Venomoth." Koga said softly as he held the recalled Pokemon. "You're Haunter is well trained Mr. Inanis, however if you believe you can sweep us, then you are gravely mistaken." Koga said as he tossed out his final Pokemon.
"Forretress!"
Wtf!?
"Time out! Time out! How the hell does this count as a gym pokemon? Forretress is literally a Bug/Steel type pokemon! Hell it literally only can learn like 3 poison type moves in total!" I said with disbelief.
"Referee?" Koga asked unsure. This had never been an issue before apparently.
"The trainer is correct." The referee said after a moment of typing in a phone.
"Well then I apologize for our error in judgement trainer. Forretress return. Come on out Ariados!"
Actually a poison type, however my hypnosis tactics are useless, this pokemon has insomnia as an ability.
"Haunter, start with [Shadow Punch]!" I ordered sharply, because I'll be honest, I'm getting annoyed with this gym, I was planning on switching out Haunter, but now I wanted the vindictive pleasure of sweeping Koga for my fourth gym badge with Haunter. That'll be two whole gyms swept by Haunter.
Too bad I can't make Haunter evolve right now, that would make this so much more hilarious and funny.
"Dodge it and take to the walls and ceiling, don't stop moving, start spinning your web." Koga ordered and I hummed in thought as Haunter cackled and sunk into the ceiling again.
Hm, now that's an idea.
"Haunter, use [Shadow Ball] as a core fused with [Dark Pulse]!" I ordered and was curious if Haunter could pull it off. It was a miniature version of what we tried earlier involving four moves, but this was a single one.
To my glee, a pure black version of [Shadow Ball] was held between Haunter's hands. I think I would name it-
"[Dark Ball]!" I declared grinning as Haunter cackled and fired it off at Ariados.
"[Shadow Sneak]!" Koga ordered as Ariados sunk into the shadows just avoiding being hit by the new move. "[Swords Dance]!" He followed up with as Ariasdos appeared on the ceiling surrounded by ethereal swords.
"Haunter use [Night Shade]-" I was cut off by Koga.
"[Sucker Punch]!" Immediately a fist made of dark energy slammed into Haunter pushing him out of his hiding spot in the ceiling.
"Haunt!" He cried out as he hit the ground, but not unconscious. Ok, I know it's just supposed to be a technically friendly battle, but I was mad.
"Haunter can you still go on?" I asked worried though and heard a weak "Kakaka." In return as he floated upwards, though I could see how tired and exhausted he was.
"Ariados use [Psychic]!" Koga ordered the moment it was clear Haunter was still good to go, and I decided we were done, it was time to end this now.
"Haunter block it using [Payback]!" I ordered and Haunter didn't even cackle as he shot the attack off blocking the [Psychic] attack.
"Now use [Shadow Ball] followed up by [Shadow Punch]." I declared with seriousness, I didn't even feel the battle lust anymore. I was just annoyed and angry.
I felt like I was being treated like a fool by Koga after the first match, and it wasn't nice. I expected a lot more from a gym leader and a team rocket member. Hell, I'm pretty sure Koga was supposed to become an elite four member eventually.
Disappointing.
"Aria." The spider like bug pokemon softly declared still conscious and I huffed.
"Ariados use [Pin]-" Koga was cut off by a fist of dark energy slamming into Ariados and I realized what happened.
Even in such a hurt and exhausted state, you still surprise me Haunter.
[Sucked Punch]. Truly, I'm lucky to have such amazing Pokemon.
"Victor, challenger!" The referee declared and I softly returned Haunter to his pokeball, a rare occurrence.
"Thank you Haunter, you did very well. I'll make sure to buy you an extra large poison orb and spell tag for this." I whispered softly into the pokeball knowing he could hear me.
"You did well challenger. I admit my defeat and hope we can have another battle in the future. The gym badge and the TM for Sludge Wave. As well as a gift, for your Haunter. A poison orb filled with very toxic poisons." Koga said and I decided just to offer a small thank you and took the items and headed out to the Pokemon center.
Once my Haunter was fully healed, we'd be out of this city and onto route 19, the ocean sounded much better then here, this city has just been one annoyance after another.
