WARRIOR
Written by Warrior
Lavender Town, a town that seems to pull you in. The noble purple town. A town of mystery and folklore. The ghost stories of Lavender Town are plenty, but of course I didn’t believe them. I thought they were just myths and stories. But after my 6th gym badge of the Kanto league I felt pulled back there. I was plagued by nightmares, horrible nightmares that destroyed my sleep. I had returned to my home in Fuchsia City; however my house no longer existed. I asked around to find the answers, but it seemed my family had left the region, I was all alone now. I had been gone some time, but this was uncalled for. That night the nightmares were stronger then ever, they wouldn’t stop. I saw myself in a fierce battle with a shadowy figure; we were in Lavender town, well what was left of it. In my dream the town was destroyed. The shadow told me this was what would become all of Kanto; he told me that he would rule the region. In each nightmare I would try to stop him at all cost, but he would always destroy my Pokemon. I always woke up after this. By midnight I decided that I had to go to Lavender town and put a stop to this madness. The trip to Lavender from Fuchsia was a short one, but the gate was closed off for the night. This annoyed me, but I decided it couldn’t get much worse….it began to rain at that moment. An old man approached the gate at that moment.
“Young man what brings you to Lavender town at this hour and weather” asked the old, old man.
“I decided to visit Pokemon Tower….to um pay my respects to the Pokemon” I lie.
“This gate is closed until morning, but you need shelter, come with me boy”
“Thank you sir” I reply.
The kind old man gave me a place to stay the night and a meal. He then gave me a warning about an odd character tormenting Pokemon Tower.
“If you plan to go up there be on alert young man, this Shadow Trainer is challenging all that step foot on the last floor of the tower”
“What should I be afraid of?” I ask sarcastically.
“This trainer is no natural being, he is a ghost, he battles with Pokemon long deceased. He sees no rules, if you stay too long he will fight to kill young man…”
“I don’t believe in ghosts old man, if he is a trainer I shall challenge him”
With that I left for Pokemon Tower, feeling brave. The tower looked old and in bad shape. The inside of the tower was alarmingly cold and the air was shallow. It smelled of decay and a dense foul fog covered each floor, I could feel many eyes watching my every movement. I hear voices, screams and heavy breathing; somehow I didn’t feel so brave anymore. I made my way up the tower, each floor was much worse. The fog was messing with my vision; I could hear voices warning me to leave. I finally made it to the top of the tower, I saw a boy my age dressed in all black, looking at a grave. He turned around; he had skin pale as stone, eyes blood red. This was the Shadow Trainer.
“Welcome to your downfall brave warrior” said the ghost.
“I don’t know what you are, but I challenge you to a Pokemon battle!” I yell at him.
“Ah ha ha ha, you can’t win this, I am the Shadow Trainer, master of darkness, and you will die today warrior”
His Pokemon rose from the grave, a decayed Charizard. It shot a purple flame thrower at Wartortle, it was ice cold.
“Wartortle, use hydropump go!”
It was a direct hit, a hole formed in the Charizard.
“Charizard, thunder attack now!” yelled the ghost.
Lightning crashed threw the roof of the tower, striking Wartortle hard. Pale moonlight lit the floor now, I could see dark gas coming out of the hole in the Charizard, I knew Wartortle was in big trouble. Suddenly a Gastly appeared and used sludgebomb on the Charizard, he countered with shadowball.
“Wartortle, icebeam now!”
The evil Charizard was frozen solid, the Gastly used thunderbolt. The decayed being shattered, revealing a Gengar, his evil eyes shone blood red.
“Ha ha ha, well done warrior, but this battle isn’t over yet, Gengar use hypnosis!”
Wartortle evaded the attack and countered with hydropump. Gengar was defeated. But just as in my dreams, the ghost picked up Wartortle and began to choke him.
“I may have lost boy, but I’m taking him with me, ha ha ha”
Gastly shot the ghost with thunderbolt, piercing right threw him. I didn’t waste this opportunity; I called out Magmar to finish this now. All three Pokemon attacked the ghost, causing him to fade away.
“Interesting, your bond with your Pokemon is strong warrior, farewell” said the destroyed ghost.
I departed the tower, Gastly decided to follow me; I guess he wanted a trainer. When I saw the old man it old him what happened, he didn’t look surprised.
“Well done young man, you have restored peace to this town; my name is Mr. Fuji, good luck on your journey.
I left the town wondering what had just happened and how I survived it all. I wondered if the Shadow Trainer was truly gone. For the first night in weeks I slept nightmare free.
