Joe's Adventure in Chuso Chapter 4

Joe walked out of the Guava City Gym, and he was greeted by a Shadow Triad.

“Aren’t you Joseph, the one who defeated Rainbow Rocket last year?” He asked.

“Yes, that would be me.” He replied.

“Well, we plan on liberating humans from Pokemon by turning them into animals!” Said the Shadow Triad.

“Animals?” Asked Joe.

“They’d be like Pokemon,” Explained the Shadow Triad. “But smaller with no powers.”

“But that would be boring!” Exclaimed Joe.

“But it will be safer.” Said the Shadow Triad. “I must defeat you before you stop us.”

“Can I at least heal my Pokemon first?” Asked Joe.

“Alright.” Said the Shadow Triad. “But make it snappy.” Joe rushed into the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon, and then got out again to fight the Shadow Triad.

“I’m ready!” He said. “Send out your Pokemon. I’ll be ready.”

“Your funeral, dude.” Said the Shadow Triad. “Go, Liepard!” Liepard was sent out.

“I choose you!” Said Joe, pulling out his laptop to retrieve his desired Pokemon. “Machamp!” Machamp was sent out.

“Liepard!” Said the ST. “Use Aerial Ace!” Liepard got out his strong claws and scratched Machamp with them, leaving the Superpower Pokemon with a third of her HP.

“Machamp!” Said Joe. “Use Cross Chop!” Machamp delivered four vicious chops at Liepard, and the Cruel Pokemon fainted.

“You just got lucky.” Said the ST, returning Liepard to his Poke Ball. “Liepard just has poor Defense stats. Go, Houndoom!” Houndoom was sent out.

“Great as usual, Machamp!” Said Joe, returning the Superpower Pokemon to her Poke Ball. “Go, Poliwrath!” Poliwrath was sent out.

“Houndoom!” Said the ST. “Use Thunder Fang!” Houndoom bit Poliwrath with electric fangs, leaving the Tadpole Pokemon with half his HP.

“Poliwrath!” Said Joe. “Use Brick Break!” Polwrath used his rough fists to punch Houndoom with, leaving the Dark Pokemon with half her HP.

“Houndoom!” Said the ST. “Use Thunder Fang again!” Houndoom tried to bite Poliwrath again, but luckily, the Tadpole Pokemon dodged the attack.

“Poliwrath!” Said Joe. “Use Surf!” Poliwrath summoned a tidal wave that managed to knock out Houndoom.

“How on Earth did your Pokemon get so strong?” Asked the ST, returning Houndoom to her Poke Ball.

“Simple.” Said Joe. “I trained so that all my Pokemon were at least Level 40, even if some of them aren’t that good at battling.”

“Interesting.” Said the ST. “Go, Cacturne!” Cacturne was sent out, and he had a Focus Sash tied on his ‘hat’.

“You deserve a rest, Poliwrath!” Said Joe, returning the Tadpole Pokemon to his Poke Ball. “Go, Kricketune!” Kricketune was sent out.

“Kricketune!” Said Joe. “Use X-Scissor!” Kricketune slashed at Cacturne by crossing his scythes as if they were a pair of scissors, but the Scarecrow Pokemon was left with one Hit Point left.

“Cacturne!” Said the ST. “Use Spikes!” Cacturne scattered spikes around Kricketune’s feet, and any Pokemon that Joe switches in will get hurt a little.

“Kricketune!” Said Joe. “Use Bug Buzz!” Kricketune buzzed like a Beedrill to inflict damage, and the Scarecrow Pokemon fainted.

“You’re tougher than I thought.” Said the ST, returning Cacturne to his Poke Ball. “Go, Sharpedo!” Sharpedo was sent out.

“That was great, Kricketune!” Said Joe, returning the Cricket Pokemon to his Poke Ball. “Go, Dedenne!” Dedenne was sent out, but he got hurt by Spikes.

“Dedenne!” Said Joe. “Use Thunderbolt!” Dedenne hit Sharpedo with a strong bolt of lightning, and the Brutal Pokemon fainted.

“Sharpedo just has poor Special Defense stats.” Said the ST, returning Sharpedo to his Poke Ball. “Go, Absol!” Absol was sent out.

“That was excellent, Dedenne!” Said Joe, returning the Antenna Pokemon to his Poke Ball. “Go, Pangoro!” Pangoro was sent out, but he got hurt by Spikes.

“Absol!” Said the ST. “Use Air Slash!” Absol attacked with a blade that could slice even the sky, leaving the Daunting Pokemon with half his HP.

“Pangoro!” Said Joe. “Use Drain Punch!” Pangoro delivered a punch that not only dealt lots of damage to Absol, but also restored his HP.

“Absol!” Said the ST. “Use Play Rough!” Absol tried to play rough with Pangoro, but luckily, attack missed.

“Pangoro!” Said Joe. “Use Sky Uppercut!” Pangoro attacked Absol with an uppercut thrown skyward with force, and the Disaster Pokemon fainted.

“I still have one more chance!” Said Absol, returning the Disaster Pokemon to his Poke Ball. “Go, Scrafty!” Scrafty was sent out.

“You deserve a rest, Pangoro!” Said Joe, returning the Daunting Pokemon to his Poke Ball. “Go, Mimikyu!” Mimikyu was sent out, but she got hurt by Spikes.

“Mimikyu!” Said Joe. “Use Play Rough!” Mimikyu played rough with Scrafty, leaving the Hoodlum Pokemon with 65% of his HP.

“Scrafty!” Said the ST. “Use Payback!” Scrafty attacked Mimikyu with all his might, but because of her special Ability, the Disguise Pokemon didn’t take any damage. Her disguise got busted, however.

“Mimikyu!” Said Joe. “Use Play Rough again!” Mimikyu played rough with Scrafty, leaving the Hoodlum Pokemon with a quarter of his HP.

“Scrafty!” Said the ST. “Use Iron Tail!” Scrafty hit Mimikyu with his tail, leaving the Disguise Pokemon with about 80% of her HP.

“Mimikyu!” Said Joe. “Finish him off with Wood Hammer!” Mimikyu slammed her body into Scrafty, which not only knocked him out, but also damaged the Disguise Pokemon with recoil.

“This isn’t good.” Said the ST, returning Scrafty to his Poke Ball. “I gotta tell Ghetsis, wherever he is.” The ST then ran off to the nearest Pokemon Center.

“We all did a great job, everyone!” Said Joe, returning Mimikyu to her Poke Ball. He then pulled out the paper Jennifer gave him. “The next Gym is in Orange City, and the Gym Leader is Rebecca, who uses Rock-Type Pokemon. However, it’s getting late, and I need to get some sleep.” Joe went to the nearest hotel to get some dinner and sleep for the night.

Author's Notes: When a Pokemon holds a Focus Sash, if it were to be hit with an attack that would knock it out, it would be left with one Hit Point, instead.
The Shadow Triad were a trio of Trainers in Black and Whites 1 and 2 who were followers of Ghetsis. In the games, they all had similar Pokemon, so to spice things up, I decided to have each of them specialize in different Types. You'll find out which as the story progresses.
