Icy and his pokémon now train to fight what may be their toughest battle yet. And now. --------------------============== EPISODE 103 ------------------------- ------------- To Be A Master --------- ===== PART 1 --- A New Plan == Icy's pokémon were pretty worn out by now. The day's battles were coming to a close. The final match was about to begin. Icy took his pokémon to be healed then, he and Sara went to the Grand Stadium to watch the match. "Welcome back pokémon fans. Well, it's been quite an eventful day and we are down to what should be the last battle for the night. So far, Nicky, from the Seafoam Islands, has defeated the first two elite trainers. Now he faces the third, Agatha. Ahh, it looks like the battle is about to begin." Nicky looked at his pokéballs. "Hmm. Gotta beat her ghosts now." Nicky selected one of the balls. Agatha took her place. "Let's get this over with fast little boy. I'm already late for a date." Agatha threw in her pokéball containing Gengar. Nicky choose a Sandslash. "Sandslash, go underground now!" His Sandslash quickly disappeared into the earth. Agatha didn't look too worried. Meanwhile, Icy jotted down some notes. Just as Sandslash came through the ground under Gengar, Gengar faded and Sandslash went through him. Confused, Sandslash looked all around for its opponent. "Gengar, lick attack now!" Icy remembered well how this part went. Gengar appeared right in front of Sandslash and licked him. Sandslash looked sick but still stayed on its feet. Agatha just grunted, upset that the attack wasn't enough to paralyze Sandslash. "Sandslash, slack attack!" Sandslash swiped Gengar a few times but it did little more than separate Gengar temporarily. Gengar pulled itself back together again. "What?!?" Nicky was shocked at the punitive results of the attack. "Let's finish this off the right way Gengar. Hypnosis followed by dream eater." Gengar's hypnosis waves put the already worn down Sandslash to sleep, then Gengar followed up with its dream eater attack. Sandslash was beaten and Nicky held its pokéball out to return it. "Humph, this is all too easy." Nicky decided it was time use a new strategy. { If I can't use regular attacks against that ghost, I'll try going with a more defensive approach. } Nicky pulled out his second pokéball. "Vileplume, it's your turn now! GO!" The large plant pokémon jumped out from the pokéball and planted itself on the field in front of Gengar. "Vileplume, stun spore." "Gengar, night shade, don't let it find you." Gengar's nightshade kept Vileplume from knowing where to target its spores. "Now you will watch your Vileplume go down as well. Gengar, lick it now." Gengar licked Vileplume but it had no effect. Icy checked his pokédex, which he had begun to use now more often. "Vileplumes are grass and poison. This particular situation favors Vileplume because it doesn't need to move in order to attack. Vileplume uses long-range projectile or spore attacks. In this battle, Vileplume's attacks can damage Gengar." "Vileplume, poison power. wait, no, sleep powder!" Nicky commanded. Vileplume emitted sleep spores. This time, Gengar was the one sleeping. "Mega drain now." Vileplume sucked all of Gengars energy away. Agatha had to recall her beaten Gengar. Icy continued to watch the battle. "According to 'Dee', Vileplume is impervious to Gengar's poison attacks. I think Leafy would be able to do the same." "But isn't Vileplume the evolved form of a Gloom? Are you sure that Leafy is as powerful as that Vileplume?" "Leafy can be just as good as that Vileplume! She trusts me. She won't let Gengar beat us again. Tomorrow, we'll be training for these situations." Agatha sent out her second pokémon, a Haunter. Nicky decided to keep Vi leplume in the match. "Haunter, hypnosis attack." Nicky couldn't afford to let Vileplume be defeat now. "Petal dance Vileplume. Confuse Haunter with it." Vileplume began her petal dance. Haunter tried to remain focused, but the petals swirling around Vileplume were distracting him from his target. "FIRE!" Vileplume sent the petals flying at Haunter who was able to dodge most of them. "Quick, sleep powder!" While the last of the petals were being fired off, Vileplume added sleep powder to the remaining. Some of the sleep powdered petals his Haunter. It slowly fell asleep and Agatha recalled it. "That's amazing! That Vileplume beat two of her pokémon! If Leafy can do that too, I'm set!" "I don't know Icy. Don't you think Agatha will be ready for that type of attack next time?" "Even if she is, Leafy won't be beaten by her lick attacks. Leafy can work on perfecting the attacks that worked in this battle. I'm having Dee keep an analysis." Agatha was getting slightly ticked off now. "You may be good now kid, but we'll see just how good you really are. Go Gengar!" Nicky decided now was the best time to use Vileplume's ultimate attack. "Vileplume, charge it up now!" "Gengar, confusion ray attack!" Agatha smiled with her plan but then frowned seeing Vileplume was still charging up. An expired Full Heal canister was lying in Nicky's hand. "S***!" Even with the small amount of sunlight left, Vileplume was able to fully charge its solar beams. "Crap, Gengar night shade." "Solar beam now!!!" The field became completely dark. It was like time had just stopped itself and stood still now. Icy and Sara looked around but, like the rest of the spectators, couldn't find the two pokémon. Suddenly, the intense beam of light from Vileplume's solar beam ripped through the darkness over the field. The audience was stunned for a moment. It all happened so quickly. The darkness cleared away, revealing a bright white Gengar and a panting Vileplume. Agatha was shocked, but not a white as her Gengar. "This can't be. Gengar return. Arbok go!" Agatha's Arbok slithered onto the field. Nicky determined it was time to let Vileplume sit it out. He returned it to the pokéball then selected another. "Ok Butterfree, your turn now!" Nicky selected a Butterfree to fight the venomous Arbok. Icy's eyes lit up. Sara opened a silver pokéball and let Aura watch. (Aura is the golden Butterfree that Sara now owns, remember?) "Wow, a Butterfree. Let's see what he does with it." Aura seemed very happy to see another of her kind battling. "Butterfree, psybeam now!" Agatha knew Arbok would go down in an instant if the psybeam hit it. Arbok dodged the beam just by a hair then lunged for Butterfree with jaws wide open. "Confusion now!" Arbok was only a foot away from sinking its venomous fangs into Butterfree when it suddenly found itself confused and bit its own tail. Arbok figured out what had happened a little too late though. "Psybeam Butterfree!" Butterfree finished Arbok off with just one hit from the psybeam leaving Agatha with only one pokémon left. "Darn. I'm not going to win this one. Oh well, I can still weaken your pokémon so you can't beat Lance. Hmm, what am I saying? I hate that jacka** of a trainer. Nevermind. Go Golbat!" The enormous bat appeared hovering over the field. "Bite now!" Golbat swooped past Butterfree then snuck up from behind. It sank its fangs deep into Butterfree's back. Butterfree screamed in pain. "NO! Butterfree! Return now!" Nicky was about the cry but help the tears back. Icy was reminded of how he felt when Buttercup was almost killed by Blaine's Magmar. Nicky gathered himself and took out another pokéball. "Raichu, go! Thunder attack, NOW!" The Raichu began to light up. The sky roared with thunder. Suddenly, enormous lightning bolts came striking down to Raichu. Raichu channeled all the electricity towards Golbat. Golbat puffed out some smoke before hitting the ground and fainting. Nicky had won. "Wow. What a battle! Nicky looks like he might be able to take out Lance as well. Due to the time, that battle will be postponed until tomorrow morning. Remember, the snack bar opens 30 minutes before the match so get your refreshments." he continued to babble on and on as the crowd filed out of the stadium. "So Icy, are you going to battle the Elite 4 tomorrow?" "Yes. But not in the morning. I'm going to use that time to strategize. My pokémon and me have a great deal of training to do. I WILL become a pokémon master!" Sara and Aura followed Icy back home. Tomorrow will be one of the biggest days in Icy's life. Will he finally fulfill his dream of becoming a pokémon master? What's Lance really up to anyway? What will happen to Nicky?
