NOVEL WEB Chapter 10: Chapter - 10
Soon I made my first advanced holographic phone and sent it to Mom, Dad, and Professor Rowan to check it out. The phones are connected thanks to satellites and can be even called from the middle of the ocean and have much higher RAM and smooth controls with a very good camera I sent a E-mail to Professor Rowan about an App that will give trainers the necessary information on their devices and also help in tracking training and health with just a scan, I had sent the e-mail when I had stopped at a town to get some supplies.
He had given me a reply that he would think about it and also talk with another professor about the idea.
Soon I saw I was a bit behind my own schedule but I was way ahead of other trainers who started with me as the 2 trainers that started with me had just defeated Gardenia according to Professor Rowan. Soon I got on my bike put on my helmet and went towards Pastoria City.
While there I saw the rule book regarding psychics as per the rules a psychic is not allowed to use his or her powers during an official gym battle or league battle to either communicate or heal a Pokemon or mess with opponents and their Pokemon fair I guess. As this was done a lot before the league was created they had banned such practices and also strong Psychic/Dark/Ghost Pokemon are usually in the stands protecting the audience and maintaining the barriers around the field during the league conferences.
Soon I reached Pastoria city, and I went to the Pokemon center and gave Nurse Joy the Pokemon that I would use at the gym they had been resting since yesterday to relax and I went to the gym as the gym was just opening and I asked them for an appointment for an Advanced battle and after checking my poke-Dex they had allotted me a slot of 5:30 PM today.
After that, I went back to the Pokemon center collected my Pokemon, and got myself some lunch and a cup of coffee. After that went to the market to get my supplies.
3rd person POV –
While Jordan was out shopping, the word that the super rookie who was challenging Sinnoh gym leaders to Advanced battles and even took out the Ace Pokemon of gym leader by defeating a Lucario of the previous champion of Sinnoh league is now in Pastoria city and going to challenge crasher wake. Got the internet to buzz as well as the people of the city to go and get tickets to see an advanced battle. While that was going on some people cleared out their schedules to see this epic battle.
The crowd roars with anticipation as Jordan steps into the Pastoria City Gym, where the grandiose, water-themed stadium is already filled with fans. Giant screens showcase the gym's history and Crasher Wake's achievements, building up the excitement for yet another fierce battle. The arena has platforms for trainers to stand on, surrounded by deep pools of water for water-type Pokémon to battle freely.
The announcer's voice booms across the gym: "Today, we have a thrilling challenge! The experienced Gym Leader, Crasher Wake, faces off against Jordan, a rising star whose strength has already made waves in Sinnoh! Each side is bringing an arsenal of powerful water types, but only one will come out victorious!"
Crasher Wake tosses his Pokéball first. "Gastrodon, let's show them what we're made of!"
The Gastrodon emerges, confidently slithering across the platform with its dual-type power at the ready.
Jordan, steady and composed, sends out his first Pokémon. "Floatzel, you're up!"
The sleek and agile Floatzel stands proudly, its fur glistening as it glares down Gastrodon. Floatzel may be smaller, but it has an undeniable aura of strength.
Crasher Wake: "Gastrodon, start us off with Muddy Water!"
The ground-water Pokémon rears up and sends a deluge of muddy water crashing toward Floatzel. The murky wave is powerful, threatening to reduce visibility and accuracy.
Jordan: "Floatzel, dodge it with Aqua Jet!"
Floatzel speeds forward, enveloped in a stream of water, and manages to evade the wave just in time. With the boosted speed, it zips close to Gastrodon and circles around it.
Jordan: "Now, go for Ice Fang!"
Floatzel's fangs freeze as it bites down on Gastrodon, the chill making Gastrodon shudder as ice crystals form on its slimy body. Gastrodon tries to pull back, but Floatzel has it in a tight grip.
Crasher Wake: "Shake it off, Gastrodon! Use Earth Power!"
Gastrodon manages to summon a powerful tremor from below, causing the battlefield to rumble as golden energy surges upward. Floatzel releases its grip and leaps back, narrowly avoiding a direct hit.
Jordan: "Don't give it any room! Finish with Hydro Pump!"
Floatzel gathers energy and fires a high-pressure blast of water straight at Gastrodon. The force of the Hydro Pump sends Gastrodon flying back, and with a splash, it falls into the water below, unable to battle.
Announcer: "Gastrodon is unable to battle! Floatzel takes the first win for Jordan!"
The crowd is thrilled, impressed by Jordan's skill and Floatzel's speed.
Not one to be easily shaken, Crasher Wake calls forth Quagsire, his ever-sturdy water-ground Pokémon. "Quagsire, let's go! Time to dig in and counter Floatzel's speed!"
Jordan sticks with Floatzel, who stands confidently despite already using considerable energy in the last battle.
Crasher Wake: "Quagsire, let's start strong with Yawn!"
Quagsire opens its mouth wide and releases a calming pulse toward Floatzel, aiming to put it to sleep over time.
Jordan: "Floatzel, don't let it catch you off guard! Hit it with Ice Punch!"
Floatzel rushes in, charging its fist with icy energy, and lands a clean hit on Quagsire. However, the Yawn's effects begin to take hold, and Floatzel's movements become sluggish.
Crasher Wake: "Quagsire, now's your chance—use Mud Shot!"
Quagsire shoots globs of thick mud that hit Floatzel directly, weakening it and slowing it further. Floatzel struggles to keep its eyes open, but Jordan sees the strategy.
Jordan: "Floatzel, return! Take a rest—you've earned it."
As Floatzel returns, the crowd murmurs in approval of Jordan's strategic recall, knowing it would be risky to keep Floatzel in its drowsy state.
Jordan then sends out his Alpha Milotic, a magnificent sight as it emerges, shimmering with an intense aura that leaves the crowd awestruck.
Crasher Wake: "So you're pulling out your Alpha Pokémon! Quagsire, be on your guard!"
Jordan: "Milotic, let's start with Dragon Pulse!"
Milotic unleashes a powerful blast of draconic energy that spirals toward Quagsire.
Crasher Wake: "Counter it with Protect!"
Quagsire creates a shimmering barrier that absorbs the Dragon Pulse, but the strain is evident as Milotic's raw power pushes against the shield.
Jordan: "Follow up with Aqua Tail, Milotic!"
Milotic glides forward with fluid grace, its tail whipping around with a powerful, water-charged attack that breaks through Quagsire's defenses, sending it flying.
Crasher Wake: "Quagsire, don't give up! Use Earthquake!"
With sheer determination, Quagsire lands a ground-shaking Earthquake, causing ripples that rock the battlefield. Milotic braces itself, but Jordan's confidence doesn't falter.
Jordan: "Milotic, end this with Ice Beam!"
The Alpha Pokémon's Ice Beam streaks across the field, encasing Quagsire in a layer of ice and knocking it out cold.
Next up, Crasher Wake sends out his Kingdra, his swift and powerful water-dragon type. This match-up promises intensity, as both Milotic and Kingdra eye each other with fierce determination.
Crasher Wake: "Kingdra, let's show them with Dragon Pulse!"
Kingdra unleashes a Dragon Pulse, but Milotic meets it with its own Dragon Pulse. The two energies collide, filling the arena with a brilliant flash.
Jordan: "Now, Recover, Milotic!"
Milotic glows, using Recover to restore itself after the intense clash. Its vitality returns, leaving Kingdra visibly frustrated.
Crasher Wake: "Fine! Use Hydro Pump, Kingdra!"
Kingdra shoots a powerful jet of water, but Jordan responds swiftly.
Jordan: "Counter it with Mirror Coat, Milotic!"
The Hydro Pump hits Milotic, but the Alpha Pokémon's Mirror Coat sends the energy back twofold, dealing massive damage to Kingdra and knocking it out.
The crowd erupts in cheers as Jordan's Milotic stands victorious yet again.
The gym fills with electrifying energy as Crasher Wake and Jordan each call out their aces—both Gyarados. But while Crasher Wake's Gyarados can Mega Evolve, Jordan's Alpha Gyarados matches its size and aura, making this an epic clash of titanic power.
Crasher Wake: "This is it, kid! Mega Evolve, Gyarados!"
The Mega Stone activates, and Crasher Wake's Gyarados undergoes a transformation, its body growing even more powerful. But Jordan's Alpha Gyarados stands unfazed, the two monsters of the sea staring each other down.
Jordan: "Let's give it our all, Alpha Gyarados! Use Thunderbolt!"
With surprising speed, Jordan's Gyarados sends a massive bolt of electricity toward its Mega-evolved counterpart.
Crasher Wake: "Counter with Hyper Beam! Don't back down!"
Mega Gyarados unleashes a Hyper Beam, meeting the Thunderbolt head-on in a dazzling explosion. Both Gyarados are pushed back but remain standing, each growling with fury and determination.
Jordan: "Now, Dragon Dance, Gyarados!"
Jordan's Gyarados starts to move rhythmically, boosting its power and speed. Crasher Wake realizes he needs to strike fast.
Crasher Wake: "Mega Gyarados, let's use Ice Fang!"
The Mega Gyarados lunges with fangs bared, coated in icy energy, but Jordan's Gyarados dodges, now even faster due to Dragon Dance.
Jordan: "Finish this, Gyarados! Aqua Tail!"
With a mighty swing, Jordan's Gyarados slams its Mega counterpart with a powerful Aqua Tail, sending it crashing down with a huge splash. As the water settles, Mega Gyarados reverts to its normal form, unable to continue.
Announcer: "Jordan wins the match, overcoming the Pastoria Gym with his powerhouse team! What a battle!"
The crowd's cheers shake the arena as Jordan stands victorious, his Pokémon by his side. Crasher Wake approaches, impressed.
Crasher Wake: "Kid, you've got guts—and power. You earned this badge. Keep up the great work!"
Jordan accepts the Fen Badge, his hard-won victory shining in his hand as he celebrates with his team, ready for whatever challenge comes next.
3rd person POV –
Professor Rowan's Lab - Sandgem Town, Sinnoh
Professor Rowan watches the broadcast intently, his hands folded under his chin. Next to him, a few of his research assistants stand, jaws dropped in awe.
Professor Rowan: "An Alpha Gyarados and an Alpha Milotic… and he's tamed them both so naturally. This level of control is rare, especially for a young trainer barely two months into his journey. Extraordinary."
One of Rowan's assistants, Emma, stammers, still trying to process what she just witnessed. "I thought Alpha Pokémon were near-impossible to tame, especially ones as powerful as Gyarados. And Milotic too? How is Jordan doing this?"
Rowan nods solemnly. "Alpha Pokémon often challenges even seasoned trainers with years of experience. For a young trainer to command not one, but two, and hold his own against the likes of Crasher Wake… This boy is redefining what it means to be a prodigy."
Professor Oak, who's visiting from Kanto for a research conference, raises an eyebrow. "Rowan, is this the same Jordan you had mentioned in our past discussions? The boy with an IQ of 198 and a remarkable aptitude for Pokémon?"
Professor Rowan: "Yes, that's the one. His mother, Lily, assists me in the lab, and his father is a high-ranking Ranger. This young man is a fascinating combination of intelligence, discipline, and empathy. It's no wonder he's making waves, even this early."
Oak chuckles, his eyes twinkling with admiration. "Ah, it's always exciting to see a new generation of trainers shake things up. But with Jordan's skill level… I can't help but wonder just how far he'll go."
Jubilife TV Station - Sinnoh
The newsroom is buzzing. Journalists, camera operators, and editors are frantically working on coverage of the battle. Amelia, a field reporter, speaks to the camera as the footage of Jordan's battle plays behind her.
Amelia: "This battle is all anyone can talk about today! Jordan Smith has done the unthinkable, defeating Gym Leader Crasher Wake without losing a single Pokémon. And if that wasn't enough to leave us speechless, he did it with two Alpha Pokémon—Gyarados and Milotic, each larger and more powerful than usual. Let's hear what the people have to say about this incredible feat!"
The camera cuts to an enthusiastic crowd of fans and spectators outside the station, who are clamoring to share their thoughts.
Fan 1: "That Alpha Gyarados! Did you see the size of it? I've never seen anything like it! And Jordan took down Crasher Wake without breaking a sweat! This kid is insane!"
Fan 2: "I don't know how he managed to tame both an Alpha Gyarados and an Alpha Milotic, but that's got to be something special. It's like he's a natural-born trainer. I don't think anyone else has Pokémon like his."
Fan 3: "He made a Mega Gyarados look weak! That's next-level power, man. And he's only been a trainer for two months?"
Fan 4: "I heard he won the World Scholastic Tournament too. Honestly, it's not fair! This kid's got both brains and power. He's gonna be unstoppable!"
Amelia finishes with a smile. "The public response is overwhelmingly positive. People are captivated by Jordan's story, and the buzz only grows louder as he continues his journey!"
Pastoria City Gym
Crasher Wake sits on the bleachers in the now-empty gym, reviewing footage of the match on his Poké-Dex. A slight smile creeps onto his face.
Crasher Wake: "That kid… his Gyarados could match a Mega Evolution in sheer power. And his Milotic was calm and poised through it all, like a true performer. He's got what it takes to go far."
One of Crasher Wake's gym trainers approaches, still visibly awestruck. "I've never seen a battle like that, sir. I didn't think anyone could tame an Alpha Gyarados, let alone an Alpha Milotic as well. It's like Jordan's in a league of his own."
Crasher Wake: "Yes, but let's not forget that taming Alpha Pokémon isn't just about strength; it takes understanding, respect, and a bond of trust. Jordan's achieved that in record time."
The trainer looks thoughtful. "So, do you think he'll become a Champion?"
Wake chuckles, his eyes shining. "I'd bet on it."
Hoenn Region, Pokémon Trainer Steven Stone's Estate
Steven Stone, Hoenn's Champion, is in his office, reviewing footage from Jordan's recent battle. As the Alpha Gyarados appears on-screen, Steven's usually calm demeanor falters.
Steven: "Two Alphas… and he's only just started his journey. Jordan has immense potential."
His friend and fellow Champion, Wallace, glances at the screen and whistles. "That's some serious Pokémon there. An Alpha Gyarados and Milotic? Most trainers would consider themselves lucky to encounter one in a lifetime, let alone tame two."
Steven: "It's not just his Pokémon; it's his strategy. Look at how he used Floatzel to handle Gastrodon, how he shifted to Milotic for Kingdra, and how he saved Gyarados for the end, knowing Crasher Wake would use his ace. This boy is incredibly intelligent and tactical."
Wallace raises a brow. "Should we be worried? With skills like that, he might become our competition in the Champion's League someday."
Steven grins, clearly thrilled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
Lily Smith's Home - Sinnoh
Lily, Jordan's mother and Professor Rowan's assistant, watches the replay of her son's battle, beaming with pride. She receives a call from Jordan's father and her husband James Smith, who's out in the field for the Sinnoh Ranger Unit.
Lily: "Did you see him, dear? He was amazing!"
James: "More than amazing! That Alpha Gyarados of his… the way he controlled it, he looked like he'd been training it for years."
Lily smiles, wiping away a tear. "He's been a natural with Pokémon ever since he was little. I had a feeling he'd go far, but this… it's beyond even what I imagined."
Alola Region, Champion Kukui's Office
Professor Kukui and his girlfriend, Professor Burnet, watch the replay of Jordan's match on the Alola Champion network.
Kukui: "You see this, Burnet? That's one seriously strong trainer! And with two Alpha Pokémon, no less."
Burnet: "It's incredible. Alpha Pokémon don't just respect strength; they respect character. Jordan must have a unique connection with each of his Pokémon. I've only seen such bonds among the strongest trainers."
Kukui: "He's still just a kid, though. Imagine where he'll be in a few years if he's already taming Pokémon like that."
Burnet nods. "Let's hope he visits Alola someday. I'd love to meet him in person."
Galar Region - Leon's Home
In Galar, Champion Leon sits in front of his television, watching the broadcast on his home network.
Leon: "Alright, Jordan, you've got my attention. Two Alpha Pokémon, huh? That's no easy feat, even for a Champion. And he's controlling them so well, it's like he's been training for years!"
Charizard, Leon's partner, roars approvingly, clearly impressed by Jordan's Charizard counterpart, Gyarados.
Leon: "Think he could give us a run for our money, Charizard? Because I'd love to see him try!"
Leon leans back, chuckling. "Jordan Smith… something tells me we'll be seeing a lot more of you soon."
Public Reactions Across the World
As the news of Jordan's victory circulates on social media, comments flood in from trainers, fans, and everyday people around the globe.
Commenter 1: "I can't believe he managed to beat Crasher Wake without losing a single Pokémon. And did you see the size of his Gyarados? That's an Alpha if I've ever seen one!"
Commenter 2: "It's amazing, but I have to wonder… how did he manage to tame two Alpha Pokémon in such a short time? He's either really lucky, really talented, or both!"
Commenter 3: "People keep saying he's just a 'newbie,' but that battle proved otherwise. He's a force to be reckoned with, and he's just getting started!"
Commenter 4: "I bet there are already rumors about him joining the Champion's League someday. If he's this good now, imagine him in a few years!"
The buzz around Jordan's achievement only continues to grow, with people from all regions watching his journey unfold with a mix of admiration, curiosity, and excitement. With each victory, he carves his name further into Pokémon history, challenging the limits of what young trainers can achieve and sparking inspiration across the world.
Jordan POV –
After my battle I went to the Pokemon center and handed over the 3 Pokemons to nurse Joy for healing and asked her to feed them their food I gave her the pre-packed food I made as I was going to rest for a few hours and I think after seeing my condition she agreed and after that, I went and got myself some rest in the Dino house, outside the city.
I slept for about 5 hours and I then got myself and my Pokemon some food, got back my Pokemon from Nurse Joy and after coming back to the Dino home I went back to sleep. Yeah, this continues travel and training has burned me down. While I am happy to get my 4th badge I think I should take a few days off and just relax. As I thought about it my eyes closed and I went back to sleep.
I woke up the next day at 10:00 AM. I called Mom and told her about me staying in Pastoria City for a few days to rest and relax as I thought I was all burned up. Mom was of course happy and told me to rest and they would be there as well, I looked confused at Mom and then I got a surprise from Dad. It turned out he was also at home for a week. And we both looked exhausted and it was like we hadn't slept for weeks when I did sleep for hours on end. In the afternoon Mom and Dad came to the city with the help of Dad's Alakazam.
