GOLD AND THE SPECIAL POKEMON EVOLUTION.
Part 3-John VS Phil. The final form of Croconaw!
By Ninetalesuk.

*Victory Road*

(John Gold is now an advance Pokemon trainer. Its taken him 5 months but now, hes a strong
trainer. He won 8 Johto GYM badges, defeated a band of criminals known as Team Rocket and is
now heading to the Indigo Leauge where he'll face the Elite Four, the most POWERFUL Pokemon
trainers in the world! But, after all his hard earn training, there was something wrong in his
team..... Croconaw.... Croconaw hasn't evolved since Goldenrod City after he defeated Harley.
Something is wrong with Croconaw but, John will never find out what it is.....)

JOHN:*Sigh* Not long till I finally arrive in the Pokemon Johto Leauge!

(Walking through Victory Road will lead John to the Indigo building, holding the Elite Four AND
the League champion, Lance the Dragon trainer! John met Lance during his journey and now, hes
going to see him again, this time in a BATTLE! He was about to exit the Victory Road when....)

VOICE:Hey, geek!

(He turned around to see a familiar face..... Phil Kimer, his rival!)

JOHN:Phil?! You haven't given up yet, have ya?
PHIL:Nope... I have become a better trainer since then, geek.
JOHN:I ONLY wish you stop calling me a 'geek'!
PHIL:No way! So, where are you going?
JOHN:I'm entering the Pokemon Indigo League!
PHIL:What?! You?! A weakling?!
JOHN:I'm not a weakling!
PHIL:Prove it in a 5-on-5 Pokemon battle!
JOHN:All right!

(The battle begun! Phil selected his first Pokemon, Scizor!)

PHIL:All right, Scizor! Lets show this weakling!
SCIZOR:Scizor!
JOHN:Oh yeah? Well, I choose....

(John threw the Poke-ball to let Ninetales out).

JOHN:.... Ninetales!
NINETALES:Nine!
PHIL:Ninetales, huh? Well, we will take care of that! Scizor, Metal Claw!

(Scizor leapt towards Ninetales, holding its scissor-like claws out).

JOHN:Quick, Ninetales! Fire Spin!

(Ninetales opened his mouth and blew out a powerful Fire Spin, trapping Scizor).

PHIL:No!
JOHN:Yes! Now, Flamethrower!

(Ninetales fired out a strong Flamethrower, hitting Scizor with sucess!)

PHIL:Ah! Useless Pokemon!

(When the Fire Spin disappeared, Scizor was on the floor. A red beam covered him and returned
him into the Poke-ball which Phil held out).

PHIL:Grr, Scizor needs more training!

(John has just returned his Ninetales into the Poke-ball).

JOHN:Ninetales doesn't need training.
PHIL:Right, now for round two!

(Phil threw another Poke-ball, letting a Magmar out).

PHIL:Try THIS one for size!
JOHN:A Magmar!

(Harley, the ex-champion of the Goldenrod championship had a Magmar as a Fire-type. John defeated
Harley's Magmar with the help of Totodile, after the battle, Totodile evolved into Croconaw. But,
John decided to let Croconaw rest. He brought out another Poke-ball and threw it, letting his
Nidoking out).

JOHN:Go, Nidoking!
PHIL:Nidoking, huh? I can beat him!
JOHN:I don't think so! Go Nidoking, Earthquake!

(Nidoking jumped into the air and slammed onto the ground. Magmar made a huge jump as soon as
Nidoking used Earthquake. Then, Magmar blew out a strong Fire Blast. Nidoking was off guard when
the Fire Blast hit him, knocking Nidoking to the ground. John ran over to him to see if Nidoking
was okay).

JOHN:Nidoking!!!! Are you all right?! Can you get up?!

(Nidoking tried to get up, but fell down again. Phil laughed as he returned Magmar into the
Poke-ball. John did the same to Nidoking).

PHIL:So, now we are tied, geek! I trained Magmar strong!
JOHN:Magmar wasn't strong! True, you beat my Nidoking, but maybe that Fire Blast was a critical
hit to my Nidoking!
PHIL:Details, details.... Now, geek, time for round 3!
JOHN:Right!

(John brought out Bellossom!)

JOHN:Try HIM for size!
PHIL:With pleasure!

(Phil brought out a....)

JOHN:......Poliwrath?! Your using a Water-type against a Grass-type?!
PHIL:Correct. As soon as I caught a Poliwag, all I had to do was train it to Poliwhirl and face
some kid holding a Water Stone that can make Poliwhirl evolve into Poliwrath! During your
travels, you should know that Poliwrath is a Water AND Fighting type!
JOHN:Of course! But, Bellossom will beat Poliwrath! Bellossom, Petal Dance!
BELLOSSOM:Bell!

(Bellossom started to twirl. Phil smiled).

PHIL:All right, if THATS the way! Poliwrath, Dynamic Punch!

(Poliwrath jumped towards Bellossom and knocked her down! John was shocked).

JOHN:Bellossom! NO!
PHIL:Your in trouble now, geek! Once a Pokemon that knowns Dynamic Punch and used that attack,
it will not only cause damage to the Pokemon like Bellossom, it will also confuse them!
JOHN:Oh no!!!

(When Bellossom got up, she was in a daze. Phil had no choice but to return Bellossom into her
Poke-ball. Phil laughed as Poliwrath was returned into the Poke-ball).

PHIL:FINALLY! I'm winning!
JOHN:Right! My turn!

(John threw the Poke-ball to let his Noctowl out. Phil laughed as he threw another Poke-ball,
containing his Golbat).

PHIL:Hahaha!!!! This is gonna be interesting, geek! Noctowl VS Golbat!
JOHN:Lets make this quick!
PHIL:Golbat, Take Down!
JOHN:Noctowl, Hypnosis!

(Before Golbat charged towards Noctowl, the Owl Pokemon's eyes glowed and Golbat started to fall
to the ground. Phil roared with rage as Golbat was sound asleep).

PHIL:ARGH!!!!!!!! GOLBAT!!!!!!! YOU ARE A USELESS POKEMON!!!!!!!!
JOHN:Golbat is NOT a useless Pokemon. Hes weak because you haven't trained him well.
PHIL:I HAVE!!!! I HAVE TRAINED THAT USELESS GOLBAT!!!!

(He held Golbat's Poke-ball out and returned the Bat Pokemon into the ball).

PHIL:(Grumbling) If ONLY I could evolve this useless Golbat into a Crobat! Then, your history!

(John sighed and returned Noctowl back into HIS Poke-ball).

JOHN:Forget it! You know, I thought you have learned something from the Indigo champion, Lance.
PHIL:The Dragon Trainer?
JOHN:Yeah!

(John met Lance during his journey before they faced against the evil criminal band known as Team
Rocket that uses Pokemon as tools for money. During his search through the Team Rocket base,
Lance met Phil and, as you know Phil wanting to be the most powerful Pokemon trainer on Earth,
he challanged Lance to a battle and lost to a Dragonite. Phil scoffed and drew another Poke-ball
out while John did the same).

PHIL:Huh! That Dragon Trainer was lucky to beat me!
JOHN:Oh really(?) Then, how come I beaten you for the first 4 times?
PHIL:Its not gonna happen this TIME, geek! Out of our 5-on-5 Pokemon battle, we had 4 and we
have tied 2 together! Your Ninetales and your Noctowl and my Poliwrath and my Magmar! Now, let
the final battle begin.
JOHN:*Sigh* Fine, fine. Lets bring it on.

(John threw his Poke-ball and Espeon came out).

JOHN:Go, Espeon!
PHIL:Espeon, huh? Good.... I choose....

(Phil threw his fifth Poke-ball and out came a Gengar).

PHIL:........ Gengar!! Ha! You will never win against this one!
JOHN:Wanna bet? Espeon, Psybeam!
PHIL:Gengar, Night Shade!

(Espeon fired his Psybeam and Gengar fired his Night Shade. Both attacks collided with each
other, causing it to make a small explosion! Espeon and Gengar were blown back by the blast and
fell to their trainer's feet, knocked out. John knelt beside Espeon while Phil returned Gengar
into the Poke-ball).

JOHN:Espeon!!!! Are- are you all right?
PHIL:Ha! Looks like Espeon is out!

(Growling, John returned Espeon into his Poke-ball and suddenly....)

JOHN:Its a tie!
PHIL:What?
JOHN:Its a tie! BOTH Espeon and Gengar were knocked out so, we don't know who won at all.
PHIL:Oh really?

(Phil threw his last Poke-ball and out came....)

PHIL:Go.... Meganium!

(Meganium stood there as John brought his Poke-dex out).

JOHN:Lets see....
POKE-DEX:Meganium, the Herb Pokemon. The evolved form of Bayleef, which is the evolved form of
Chikorita. Its herbs on its neck gives off a lovely smell.
JOHN:Why bring Meganium out?
PHIL:Ha! So YOU can bring your final Pokemon! This will be the final battle! Of course, I will
win since your last Pokemon is a Water Pokemon and Meganium has the advantage!
JOHN:Right!

(John brought Croconaw's Poke-ball out and brought the Big Jaw Pokemon out).

JOHN:Final battle! Go, Croconaw! Slash!
PHIL:Meganium, Tackle!

(Croconaw jumped and brought his claws out but, Meganium ran and tackled Croconaw to the ground.
Phil smiled).

PHIL:Good! Now, use Body Slam!!!

(Meganium jumped and slammed onto Croconaw).

PHIL:YES! Keep Body Slamming him till hes dead!
JOHN:WHAT?! You can't kill a Pokemon, you'll be arrested!
PHIL:So what? That Croconaw is weak! And, so are you! Weakling!

(Croconaw heared what Phil said about his trainer. How dare he said that! Going to kill him? This
has gone too far! Croconaw remembered being a Totodile and staying at New Bark Town with Prof.
Elm. Totodile remembered how upset Prof. Elm was when Phil stole Chikorita. Phil stepped over the
line for trying to kill him! Croconaw quickly moved out of the way before Meganium used another
Body Slam. Croconaw smiled as he felt a bit of energy inside of him. The had the same energy
when he was a Totodile and became Croconaw which means...... John, Phil and Meganium gasped as
Croconaw glowed and started to evolve....)

PHIL:What the....?
JOHN:Croconaw! Your evolving into a......

(And, standing in Croconaw's spot, was FERALIGATR! John pointed his Poke-dex to his new Pokemon).

JOHN:....Feraligatr!
POKE-DEX:Feraligatr, the Big Jaw Pokemon. The evolved form of Croconaw. It uses his strong jaws
to crush his enemies.
PHIL:Ha! Evolved or non-evolved, Meganium can still win! Razor Leaf!
JOHN:Oh yeah? Quick, Feraligatr! Use Blizzard!
PHIL:Blizzard?!

(Feraligatr took a deep breath and blew out a powerful ice blast, hitting Meganium and his Razor
Leafs. Meganium fell to the ground, knocked out. After Phil returned Meganium into his Poke-ball,
he fell to the ground on his knees).

PHIL:Why?! Why did I lose?!
JOHN:You HAVE got the right Pokemon, Phil. Its just you. You don't give your Pokemon love and
surport. Prof. Oak gave me this Poke-dex because he knows how much I care for my Pokemon. If
ANY wise Pokemon trainers gave you any advice, thats including Lance the Dragon Trainer, of how
to be a stronger trainer, you should use them.

(John patted Feraligatr on the head and returned him back into the Poke-ball. He turned to Phil
once more before leaving the Victory Road).

JOHN:Until we meet again, Phil. Farwell.

(Phil looked at the ground again and started at the 6 Poke-balls containing his Pokemon).

PHIL:Goodbye..... John.....

THE END.
