Chapter 46: Jupiter Vs Lace

Lace:

After leaving Nei to fight the battle, I headed up the staircase to the far right and passes through the second floor with little difficulty. Sylveon and Glaceon not too far behind, I was still surprised with how much Flareon had been healed in such a short time but im glad to see that Vaporeon is relieved to have her lover by her side. Walking through hallway after hallway, we finally managed to get our way out of the mountain. With how the enemy has been and with the gym leaders doing what they need to with the paperwork, to get team galactic kicked from office, we have them pinned and victory should be certain. Climbing the side of the mountain and taking the entrance to the far left, expecting the worst while hoping for the best.

Entering the cave, we saw the steep wall along with a staircase leading to the higher level and a huge waterfall with a plunge pool at the base. It seems like theres a ledge near the waterfall and next to the waterfall was a figure I couldn't make out right away. Vaporeon used ice beam to freeze a staircase up to the top where a familiar person stood, Jupiter. She was waiting and stood with a grin on her face saying "wondered how log it would have been before we met again" I could feel the arrogance in her voice as it weighed heavy. Looking to Vaporeon, who was in front of Flareon protectively and with Sylveon and Glaceon behind me but they're not part of my party so would the do what I say? Seems like I had no choice but to use more of my team.

Jupiter threw 2 pokeballs up and called out Mightyena and Golbat. Mightyena is a dark type, Golbat is a flying and poison type. The Mightyena is weak to fighting, bug and fairy type moves while Golbat is weak to rock, electric, psychic and ice type moves. I knew who to called out. Turning to Vaporeon I told her "you look after Flareon while we take care of her" hold up 2 pokeballs and threw them both up, calling out my Vespiquen and Luxray. Luxray being my electric type while Vespiquen being my flying and bug type. Keeping calm, it was as if I knew Jupiters next move just from the look on her face. With such arrogance and over confidence, she will make the first move and mot likely would be the Golbat with a supersonic to deafen us and attack while we're vulnerable. Good thing I planned and before I could even speak, Jupiters Golbat fly up to the ceiling and screeched loudly.

Covering my head, the sound was so loud, it even made part of the cave shake as the spikes above shattered and fell down to me. Rolling out of the way I smiled and told Vespiquen "double team" more of Vespiquen appeared and surrounded Mightyena, they span around making it hard to see which one was the real one and could harm, this provided a good decoy. I called out to Luxray "use thunderbolt" the tail sparked as lightning was shot to the Golbat, directly hitting as it screeched loud dealing double damage. Golbat flew into the darkness where I couldn't see it and Jupiter kept her grin as Mightyena roared out.

Vespiquen was forced back into the pokeball and as much as I had confidence in Luxray, I know he can't beat her by himself. So, I called out another pokemon, my Milotic and gave the signal. Milotic's fins and tassels sway and Jupier made Mightyena prepare a bite move on Luxray. With the both of them bounding around, trying to latch onto each other, I could tell she was trying to stall me from moving on. Jupiters overconfident smile turned into by confusion as the temperature in the room dropped and ice was forming on the ground. The cold winds blew and formed icicles formed on the ceiling above our heads. The Golbat was taking heavy damage as its wings froze up and dropped to the ground, warm air could be seen as it was breathing hard. Ice coated the floor and made spikes in the ground blocking pieces of the cave from our battle.

Golbat fainted from the cold, that was 1 out of 6 finished but the battle was far from over. Especially with her Mightyena still able to fight, cold but still a threat. The eeveelutions that were with me stood back and stayed out of it. I noticed a tingle on my leg and when I looked, I saw there was thread wrapped around my legs. I didn't notice that her Golbat had sent out more pokemon to fight where they couldn't be see, my blind spot, and held me down. Luxray was fighting the Mightyena and Milotic was out of my sight due to the ice spikes in the ground. I was completely vulnerable when the pokemon, Galvantula lunged and went to bite using its fangs, using bug bite.

With just enough of a reflex, I was able to avoid the worst-case scenario but with a wound above my eye, bleeding, I needed a medic and before I could react my Milotic was hit with an electro ball attack. Heavily damaging and slamming Milotic against the ice-covered wall. Things were getting worse by the second, no wonder she was confident. I threw another pokeball into the air and called out Incineroar which heated up and blasted fire in all directions, melting the ice quickly and hit Galvantula, dealing double damage and burning it heavy. The ground wet and Galvantula knocked out, this mean 2 of her 6 were unable to fight and I had 3 of my 6 out to battle. It had been a long time since I had to fight on this level and when I turned to them, the eeveelutions were alright that's to the ice formed. Although the battle is in my favour, I have a bad feeling what will happen next. Little to my knowledge, an ally was on their way that would turn the tide of our battle.
