Chapter 20: Suicune’s Roar of Anger
It was quite a sticky, and stinky, situation Katsuro had found himself in. Alexandra and her shiny Roserade had him cornered as she was overlooking the hose from the sewage waste truck dump the murky water into stream. Katsuro wondered what would cause him to pass out first, the stench from the raw sewage or the pain from Dark Sero’s thorny vines. He looked on to Alexandra as she stood in the rear lights of the truck. Only her upper body was clearly visible with her lower body dark as a shadow. The purple eye shadow making her face look uglier then usual.
“So, you and your friend stole that truck! What for,” demanded Katsuro. Alexandra just scoffed and snapped her finger. The thorny vines tightened their grip on Katsuro and he could feel a few thorns slice through his skin. “Ahh,” he yelled in pain.
“Let him go Alexandra,” shouted Shane.
“Well what do we have here, a couple of stalkers? My, my you boys are so persistent,” teased Alexandra as she walked closer to Shane and Katsuro.
“Rose,” snarled Dark Sero as it kept its tight grip on Katsuro. Alexandra walked up until she was inches away from both Shane and Katsuro. They could smell perfume that could’ve been made from a Bellosom’s flowers. Her perfume was refreshing over the smell of the sewage.
“What are you and Allister doing? You’re going to enrage the Pokémon living here,” said Katsuro. Alexandra laughed maniacally. Suddenly the boys were unsure of what to think of the situation.
“That’s exactly the idea, silly boys. We are going to enrage the protector of the waters, Suicune!” Shane and Katsuro became alarmed. Katsuro tried to swing his arm to hit Alexandra but Dark Sero continued to restrain him and a thorn pierced itself further into his forearm. Katsuro just yelped in pain again.
“You may have Katsuro out of action but that I’ll still take you on,” said Shane as he brought out a pokeball and pressed the button to enlarge it. “Lairon -”
“Now Murkrow,” shouted Alexandra. Camouflaging with the dark night sky it seemed as though Murkrow appeared out of nowhere when it was sitting on top of the sewage truck the entire time. Murkrow swooped down and began pecking at Shane’s spiky hair.
“Hey, hey, not the hair. NOT THE HAIR,” shouted Shane as he flailed his arms around him tyring to keep Murkrow away from him.
“You got plenty of hair gel to restyle it Shane,” said Katsuro. Finally Shane managed to hit Murkrow in the face. Murkrow became angered and instead of pecking at his hair Murkrow swooped down and aimed for Shane’s crotch. Shane buckled down in pain and growled at Murkrow.
“Ok, the hair,” he grunted. Murkrow flew back and perched itself on Alexandra’s upper arm as she bent her elbow outward. Shane and Katsuro both looked on in anger.
“That’s enough playing around Alexandra,” said Allister as he stepped out of the driver’s seat of the truck and took the last bite of his rice ball. Then he pointed at Katsuro. “You, you’re that boy who crashed into my high speed movement sensor a while ago. It can’t be a coincidence that you’re here before me now,” said Allister.
“The monks told me about you and the Unown showed me all I need to know about you. You’re Allister, and if you think the Legendary Pokémon would side by you then you’re demented,” retorted Katsuro. His comments earned him more cuts on his arms and legs from where Dark Sero was restraining him.
“Oh dear, you sound just like Monk Daichi and the others. Very well, if you can’t see things my way, I will force you to vanish from my sight,” said Allister as he threw a Pokeball into the air and out popped a Houndoom. Houndoom howled into the night and the howling sent shivers down Shane’s and Katsuro’s spines. “My loyal friend Houndoom, punish them at once with your Flamethrower!”
Shane and Katsuro gasped as Houndoom raised its snout upward and flames began to leak out from its jaw. Houndoom was preparing to char boil them and they had no way to defend themselves. Shane was still in pain from Murkrow’s attack and struggled to get back up on his feet as he reached for his pokeball. Then Houndoom lowered its snout and opened its mouth. There was flash of light as the flamethrower attack launched out and streamed toward the boys. Katsuro closed his eyes and for a moment everything around him stood still. He could feel the heat from Flamethrower come closer to him as he began to sweat.
“Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnneeee!”
Katsuro gasped as rings of water surrounded him and Shane. Theses rings of water, where have I seen them before, Katsuro asked himself in his head. Then suddenly he remembered the vision from the Sinjoh Ruins. Suicune could use Aqua Ring. He began to wonder if Suicune was nearby.
“We’re going to enrage the protector of the waters, Suicune.”
“Oh no, Suicune’s come to our rescue but fallen into their trap,” Katsuro said under his breath. He looked over to Shane who was now standing with his left arm being soaked by Aqua Ring. He held his pokeball in his right hand and then threw it into the air.
“Now Quagsire, it’s way beyond payback time,” shouted Shane as he threw his Pokeball. Quagsire emerged from the flash of light from the pokeball and appeared by Shane’s side. At that same moment a strong breeze of wind slashed by Katsuro cutting the thorny vines and causing Dark Sero some pain. Katsuro was free and he was also ready for some payback.
“Sneasel, you’re up,” shouted Katsuro as he brought out his transparent pokeball. Even before being released from the pokeball Sneasel showed it was ready for a revenge match against Alexandra. It jumped out as the pokeball opened up and then dug its claws into a tree branch. Sneasel then scrapped off the bark to help sharpen its claws and warn Alexandra and her shiny Roserade that it was stronger now.
“You still haven’t evolved that thing? Grow up Katsuro or you’ll never beat me,” teased Alexandra.
“Evolution doesn’t mean much. It’s what attack we know like this one: Ice Punch!” Sneasel ran in with its right paw glowing with a light blue aura. Ice began to form around the base of its paw and stretch up to the end of its sharp claw as Sneasel closed in to Dark Sero. Dark Sero was prepared and used Sludge Bomb to send Sneasel back. Sneasel didn’t back down, it kept on side stepping out of the sludge bomb’s line of fire and closed in. Finally Dark Sero was hit with Ice Punch and the ice stuck to the left side of its face. Dark Sero fell to the ground with shards of ice around it.
“Murkrow, Drill Peck!” Alexandra’s Murkrow began diving at Sneasel while spinning like a corkscrew. Then Shane’s Quagsire appeared.
“Use Yawn!” Quagsire opened its mouth and a puff of white air appeared. Murkrow dived through Yawn and was enveloped in the white stream of air that would’ve put it to sleep. However Murkrow’s Drill Peck was successful as it rammed its beak into Sneasel. Then it ascended into the air while showing no signs of being sleepy.
“That Murkrow has Insomnia Ability! We gotta think of something else Shane,” warned Katsuro. Suddenly the winds picked up speed. The smell of sewage waste became strong again as the winds pushed it toward where everyone was battling. Katsuro and Shane plugged their noses instantly. The stench reminded both boys of seeing a Muk up close. Soon a light blue figure could be seen. It was Suicune and it was leaping around on the water’s surface.
It was truly an amazing sight. Suicune was glowing light blue and the dark blue mane on its back flowed in the wind magnificently. As Suicune landed on the water’s surface it too began to glow light blue. The water was being purified and relieved of the pollution Allister and Alexandra were dumping into it. Then a ball of air began to form above Suicune’s head. It began charging an Air Slash attack. Once the ball of air was as big as its head it fired it at the truck, destroying it in one shot and preventing more raw sewage from being dumped into the lake.
Shane and Alexandra were amazed by Suicune’s entrance but Katsuro became worried. He knew this is exactly what Allister wanted. On second thought, Allister hadn’t participated in the battle yet. Katsuro gasped, and looked around. Allister had seemingly disappeared along with his Houndoom. Suddenly, he made his move.
“Gengar, use Mean Look,” shouted Allister. He was now on the other side of the truck. When the Aqua Ring attack Suicune created block his Houndoom’s Flamethrower he knew Suicune was close by. He signaled for Alexandra to distract the boys while he recalled Houndoom into its pokeball. Then he slipped away to prepare for his upcoming encounter with Suicune. Now at last the moment he’s been waiting for had come. The first Legendary Pokemon that would capture was going to be Suicune. Now that Gengar floated toward Suicune and a black aura appeared around Suicune as Gengar used Mean Look it was surely his day to celebrate.
“Oh no, Suicune run,” yelled Katsuro.
“It’s no good Katsuro! You should know that now Suicune is under Mean Look’s spell its not going anywhere and there’s nothing you can do about it,” said Alexandra. She then snapped her finger and Dark Sero got up with both bouquets on its arms glowing green. Then its eyes glowed green as it began using Giga Drain. Quagsire then became enveloped in the green aura.
“Sneasel, stop Dark Sero with Faint Attack!” It was too late. Shane’s Quagsire began crying out in pain as the green aura suddently erupted into stream of green energy heading to Dark Sero. Quagsire was losing too much health. Sneasel ran in and hit Dark Sero while glowing with a black aura but it had recovered enough energy from Giga Drain to take the attack.
“Katsuro, forget her. We need to save Suicune,” shouted Shane. Katsuro nodded and reached for his pokeball. The headlights on the truck still worked and showed Suicune was busy battling a Gengar. Gengar kept disappearing and then reappearing as it launched attack and dodged Suicune’s. Suicune kept using Aqua Ring to recover but it was obvious it was at a disadvantage battling a Ghost type in the dark. Katsuro reached for another pokeball.
“Xatu let’s go!” Xatu appeared next to Shane as it stared outward toward Suicune. Then suddenly Katsuro saw something. He saw an odd type of pokeball hit Suicune on its snout and then Suicune turning red and being forced into the pokeball. Then the pokeball fell into the lake near the truck. Katsuro closed his eyes and shook his head, but as soon as he opened his eyes again he saw a Pokémon encased in ice. Katsuro never saw that Pokémon before as it was oval shaped with spikes on top.
“Katsuro, quit spacing out,” shouted Shane. Katsuro gasped and came to his senses. The vision suddenly stopped and he now saw a slightly different battle scenario occurring. Dark Sero kept on firing Sludge Bombs, this time they were aimed at Shane’s Spoink who kept on dodging them by bouncing high on its tail. “Spoink, use Psychic!” The pearl on Spoink’s head began to glow and then a strong force hit Dark Sero.
“R-rose… er… rade…” growled Dark Sero as it tried to withstand the intense force of Spoink’s attack. However it was already weakened by Sneasel’s attack and it finally gave it. Dark Sero flew backwards and crashed into the remains of the sewage truck Suicune destroyed. Katsuro then forcused on Allister and Gengar.
“Xatu, use Ominous Wind on Gengar!” Xatu flew up and above the lake. The eye patterns on Xatu’s chest began glowing red as Xatu began flapping its wings more viciously with blades of purple energy flying towards Gengar. Gengar saw the attacks coming and swiftly dodge them in mid air.
“Stop it boy. My battle is with Suicune now so you’ll have to halt your interference. Gengar, punish Xatu with Shadow Ball,” commanded Allister. It only took a second for Gengar to gather energy into a ball and then fire the Shadow Ball at Xatu. Katsuro gasped as Xatu crashed into the lake. Without even thinking, Katsuro jumped into the water and swam towards his fallen Pokémon.
“Xatu, hand on,” said Katsuro as he quickly held his breath and dove under water. Keeping his eyes opened under water was useless as it was dark at night. However after several seconds of searching with his arms spread out in front of him he found Xatu. He grabbed it by one of its wings and began swimming to the surface. It only took five second to reach the surface and Katsuro breathed heavily once his head was out of the water. Xatu then also popped out of the water but was too weak to fly out. Katsuro had to drag Xatu through the lake and then recalled it into his pokeball.
“Are you OK Katsuro,” asked Shane.
“Yeah,” replied Katsuro as he tried to catch his breath. “But I’m more worried about Suicune.” They looked on as Suicune as hit by another Shadow Ball attack.
“You boys should worry about yourselves. Dark Sero maybe out of action but my Zangoose is more then willing to tear your Pokémon to shreds,” said Alexandra as she threw another Pokeball. Her Zangoose appeared on the ground on all fours, growling with ferocity.
“Time for round two Spoink,” said Shane, but Spoink seemed to be missing in action. “Uh… Spoink?” Katsuro tapped Shane on the shoulder then pointed down on the ground. Spoink hadn’t been bouncing on its tail so it went under cardiac arrest again. Shane sighed and just recalled it into his pokeball. Katsuro’s Sneasel looked on to Zangoose. Zangoose growled at it stared down Sneasel. Sneasel growled back since it wanted revenge for the one shot knock out last time they battled.
“Zangoose, use Crush Claw!”
“Sneasel, Icy Wind!”
The two Pokémon clashed with Zangoose running on all fours straight into Sneasel’s Icy Wind, However Zangoose didn’t stop as snow began to form on its head and back. With its claws extending, Zangoose came in range to strike Sneasel. Sneasel kept on exhaling the Icy Wind attack but Zangoose stood up on its legs, and slashed Sneasel in the face with the Crush Claw attack. Sneasel tumbled backwards, dug its claws into the ground to prevent it from sliding too far back, and got back up on its feet. The two Pokémon began staring each other down again.
“Faint attack, Sneasel! You can do it!”
“Not so fast, Zangoose use Close Combat!”
Sneasel and Zangoose booth ran toward each other. Sneasel hit Zangoose first with a claw glowing black, but Zangoose countered with multiple punches and finishing with a devastating scratch from its claw. Sneasel flew backwards and was knocked out.
“Sneasel! Sneasel are you ok,” said Katsuro. Sneasel just laid there on the ground, dazed and faintly repeating its name. Katsuro quickly recalled it. Suddenly they all heard Suicune roar! Alexandra and the boys looked on and saw Suicune’s head crest glow bright blue. Allister and Gengar looked on in awe. Finally Suicune howled, its head crest still glowing and then it finally unleashed a blast of cold air and ice. Gengar became trapped by Suicune’s Sheer Cold attack. Allister had to wrap himself in his red cloak as the freezing winds blew past him. Once Sheer Cold had cleared Gengar was encased in ice.
“Goodness me, what power,” exclaimed Allister as he recalled Gengar. Then a black aura reappeared around suicune and then faded, signifying that Mean Look no longer held Suicune prisoner. Now was its chance to flee, or so it thought. As soon as Suicune turned around Alexandra’s Murkrow was staring at it with its eyes glowing black. It was Mean Look all over again! Suicune counted with an Air Slash. The attack sliced through Murkrow and it disappeared. Suicune looked around and there were dozens of Murkrow surrounding it. Murkrow had used Double Team earlier to trick Suicune. It seemed Alexandra and Allister were prepared with a Plan B.
“Now Zangoose, hit Suicune with False Swipe while Murkrow keeps it distracted,” ordered Alexandra. Zangoose hopped onto the real Murkrow’s back and then they glided toward Suicune. Suicune’s head crest was glowing light blue again as another Sheer Cold attack was being prepared. Zangoose jumped down and then slashed Suicune.
“Hey, leave Suicune alone,” yelled Katsuro.
“Try and stop us,” retorted Alexandra.
“Fine, we will, right Larvitar?” Katsuro threw another Pokeball and his Larvitar appeared. It was also angry at the two people trying to capture Suicune.
“Flygon, you help too,” said Shane as his Flygon came out of its pokeball. “Use Dragon Breath to eliminate the Murkrow copies.”
“Larvitar, make it hard for Murkrow to fly around. Use Rock Slide!” Shane’s Flygon exhaled a stream of an orange flame that hit many of the Murkrow copies. The copies vanished as Flygon hit each one and flew around trying to eliminate them. Once the illusions dissapeared Larvitar spotted the real Murkrow with Zangoose flying on its back. Larvitar used Rock Slide and caused rocks bigger then Murkrow to collapse down on it and Zangoose. They were knocked into the lake.
“Yeah, take that,” cheered Katsuro. Zangoose easily swam across the surface of the water while Murkrow seemed to struggle. Alexandra knew if she recalled it into her pokeball Mean Look would ware off again and Suicune would surely escape. She knew she had to think of something quickly.
“Zangoose, change of plans. Hit Suicune with False Swipe!” Zangoose obeyed Alexandra’s commands. It swam across the water toward Suicune. Suicune was using Aqua Ring to heal itself. Zangoose jumped up from the water and swiped it with its claws repeatedly. Shane and Katsuro became angered.
“Flygon hit Zangoose with Dragon Breath!” Flygon let out a high pitch cry as it flew in towards Zangoose. Larvitar jumped up and landed on Flygon’s back and rode in towards their enemies. Murkrow had finally escaped from the lake and began flying to intercept Flygon and Larvitar.
“Larvitar, shoot Murkrow down with Dark Pulse!” Larvitar’s horn glowed with dark energy that seemed to be a strobe light in the dark. A beam of darkness was shot out towards Murkrow and hit it, causing Murkrow to flinch. Flygon flew in and was now inches away from Zangoose and Suicune. With orange flames leaking from its mouth, Flygon stared down the Cat Ferret Pokémon.
“Use Detect!” Zangoose waited for the perfect moment while Flygon opened its mouth and let out a steam of orange flames. Zangoose was just treading water when Dragon Breath was streaming its way. Then suddenly Zangoose cut through the water and dodged Dragon Breath with amazing speed. Katsuro and Shane watched in shock as not only did the attack fail, but Dragon Breath ended up hitting Suicune instead.
“Cuuuuuunnne,” cried out Suicune in pain. Then sparks began covering its body. Suicune had become Paralyzed much to Shane and Katsuro’s dismay.
“Suicune we’re so sorry. We never meant to hurt you,” pleaded Shane.
“Lar-Larvitar! Tar tar,” cried out Larvitar. Suicune had both of its eyes shut from the pain it felt from being paralyzed, but it looked up and nodded at Larvitar as if to say “it’s alright.” Katsuro walked to the water’s edge and watched as Suicune suffered and Zangoose floated back toward the legendary Pokémon.
“Alexandra, our time is now,” said Allister.
“Yes Sensei. Zangoose, Flase Swipe. Murkrow, banish our foes with Icy Wind!” Zangoose leapt out of the water. Water droplets glistening from the headlights of the sewage truck as Zangoose flashed a sinister smile. It was as though Zangoose was prepared to slaughter Suicune with pride. Flygon and Larvitar began flying in to stop Zangoose but Murkrow began flapping its wings and exhaling blue powder. The cold wind hit Flygon and Larvitar for a super effective hit on both of them. Both Pokémon beingn hit by the Icy Wind attack grunted in pain.
“Larvitar, you got to stop Zangoose before it’s too late! Please Larvitar, you have to try,” pleaded Katsuro! Larvitar had it’s eyes closed as it endured the cold wind and tried to shied itself with its stubby arm.
“L-Lar… vit… tar.”
“Larvitar, don’t just do it for me! DO IT FOR SUICUNE!” Suddenly Larvitar felt a surge of energy and regained it’s will to fight. It opened its eyes and then raised its head up high.
“LARVITAR! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!”
Suddenly Larvitar’s body began glowing white while it stood there on Flygon’s back. Murkrow became shocked as to what it was witnessing and stopped using Icy Wind. Zangoose didn’t care and continued its assault on Suicune. Allister and Alexandra looked on with a sense of dread as Larvitar began evolving. Katsuro felt a strong connection with his Larvitar. It was as if Larvitar was using his courage to gain the energy to evolve. Once the evolution was complete the light faded and now a Pupitar was riding on Flygon’s back. Pupitar’s body was tilting downward after evolving, but it soon looked up and gave Murkrow and angry stare.
“Murkrow, use Icy Wind again,” shouted Alexandra.
“Dragon Dance, then Outrage!” Pupitar began to rotate its body and create an orange-blue aura around it. Murkrow began flapping its wings and blow the Icy Wind attack toward Pupitar and Flygon. Then suddenly Pupitar stopping rotating and launched off Flygon like a rocket. With its body glowing bright orange and blue, it slammed into Murkrow and then jumped up. Murkrow lost track of Pupitar and became confused as to where it disappeared to. Pupitar then suddenly smashed into Murkrow from above and cause it to crash into the wreckage of the sewage truck’s cabin. Finally, Pupitar jumped out and let itself become confused on the lake’s edge.
Alexandra became furious that Pupitar manage to beat her Murkrow. She looked out to the lake and saw that Suicune was now collapsing from exhaustion. Zangoose had now done its part. “From bitter defeat we shall taste sweet victory,” said Allister as he held out an Ultra Ball. Then without saying anything he threw it at Suicune. Suicune looked out and saw the Ultra Ball coming. It wanted to run but it was now in too much pain to move as it laid there on the water’s surface. Katsuro watched as the pokeball hit Suicune on its dark blue mane flowing out from its torso. Suicune turned red and was sucked into the Ultra Ball.
“Please, no. Not Suicune,” said Katsuro fearfully. The Ultra Ball floated on the lake and shook only once. Then it opened up and Suicune popped out. Suicune cried out angrily and began charging up an Air Slash attack. The sphere of air above Suicune’s head swelled up until Suicune jutted its head forward and aimed it at Zangoose. Zangoose took the hit and was knocked into Allister’s arms. Allister fell backwards and landed on his back. Electric sparks surged through Suicune’s body as the Paralysis rendered it immobile again.
“Sensei, are you alright? Nevermind, I’ll take care of Suicune myself,” said Alexandra as she held out a Net Ball. Katsuro looked in awe, it was the same Pokeball Xatu showed him in that vision. He looked over to his Pupitar and saw that it was still confused from Outrage’s effect. Shane’s Flygon seemed a bit preoccupied with making sure Zangoose was down for the count. “Suicune, surrender to me now! This Net Ball is your new home!”
With that Alexandra threw the Net Ball. Katsuro began running into the lake but Suicune was too far away and wading through water was much slower movement then a Net Ball being thrown in the air. Katsuro had tears running down his eyes the moment the Net Ball hit Suicune. His heart rate also began rising dramatically as the lake’s water was now up to his waist.
“SUICUNE! NOOOOOOOOOOO!”
