Chapter 28 - Destroying the City!

Intro-kun: Returning to System in Pokemon World! Our young Zane plans to destroy the city, but what does he mean by that!? Will Zane wreak havoc or do something else? What is his goal in doing so!? Find out now!

Ending our training it was time for us to begin destroying the city! I went over to the pokemon arena with a Squirtle mask. Of course, I had to bribe Misty for her to leave me alone for 3 days while keeping a note of her location. I need to make the most out of this after all! I only hope she doesn't blow a fuse at the end.

My eyes turned into red dots and my smile became devilish as my teeth looked razor-sharp. I laughed and said, "Soon they will all lose their mind hehehe!" If anyone saw me they would think I was going to commit some sort of crime.

Well, someone did see me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and a woman's voice, "Sir! I must ask you for what purpose you are here for?" I turned around to see officer Jenny with a very strict gaze. I laughed evilly and said, "To break the spirit of children hehe." 5 seconds later I was in handcuffs.

Realizing I screwed up I shouted, "Wait! I was joking! I just wanted to pokemon battle! That is why I'm at the Pokemon Arena officer Jenny! I swear! There was no ulterior motive!" Officer Jenny frowned as she said, "It didn't sound like you were lying! I can't let a random person going into the pokemon arena and hurting kids' spirits."

I waved my hand and said, "But I'm a pokemon trainer! Look! I have my Pokedex right here and my gym badges!" After she verified them she de-cuffed me and scolded, "Don't go around joking like that. What if someone misunderstands and you get arrested?" I rubbed my wrists and said, "I know, I just couldn't help myself."

Officer Jenny nodded and rode off in her motorcycle. Returning to my evil face I said, "Now it's time to crush the spirits of the kids in the Pokemon Arena hehe!" I went inside and 5 hours later I was the only trainer inside.

I sighed and said, "Damn it! I only got to fight 45 trainers! Not even a quarter of my goal! Fortunately, they will come back hehe." I whistled as I left the place with swagger. I decided to enjoy myself a bit.

5 hours ago

I entered the arena and quickly got myself into a battle. It was a guy with a Vileplume. The guy grinned as he said, "Come on! Take out your pokemon! I will knock it out like nothing!" I smirked behind the mask thinking, 'C.o.c.ky brat! I will have to show him what true arrogance is!'

I mocked him, "You and that flower of yours! Ha! I have seen a Bellsprout that is more intimidating than that! Come on out! Dratini and whoop this kid's ass!" The battle began with me insulting the poor guy at every turn.

The guy shouted angrily, "Vileplume use Stun Spore! Teach this brat a lesson!" Vileplume who was also angry shook its petals ferociously releasing a ton of Stun Spore. I countered by saying, "Dratini use Thunder Wave and disperse it while hitting Vileplume!"

Dratini body became covered by electricity as it roared, "Draaaaa!" It sends out waves of electricity dispersing the Stun Spore into a beautiful sparkle but also shocking Vileplume. I mocked the kid, "Ha! Told ya so! I guess it must be 'shocking' knowing how weak you are!"

The kid gritted his teeth and said, "Vileplume use Vine Whip and hit that Dratini!" I said calmly, "Agility and Wrap around those vines to get to it." Vileplume extended its vines trying to whip Dratini but thanks to Agility it dodged and wrapping around its vines it slithered towards Vileplume.

The kid was too 'shocked' by this that he forgot to give an attack, "Oh no! Vileplume shake it off!" I said mockingly, "Dratini Wrap around it and use Dragon Rage!"

Dratini who slithered onto Vileplume's body wrapped it tightly before releasing a raging Dragon Rage from its mouth. A small explosion happened and once the dust dispersed it was settled. Vileplume fainted. The kid ran towards Vileplume shouted, "Vileplume! Are you alright!?" I withdrew Dratini and said, "Better luck next time kiddo. If only you trained at the best placed called Pokemon Training Field then you might have stood a chance."

The kid gripped his fists and shouted, "You will pay for this!" He rushed out taking his Vileplume to the pokemon center. I smiled evilly and said, "All according to plan." All the next matches ended in a similar way of me defeating the trainer before sending them off to the Pokemon Training Field.

Honestly, I knew I was going to get a scolding, but I needed this! The more frustrated they become the better! They will train hard and level up their pokemon and return here to battle me where I will beat them! They will train again and return to be beaten again! It was a catch and release method I just thought about! I also spread a few rumors here and there about a certain gym leader and the best training spot.

The night was noisy for the Pokemon Training Field and just like planned. The kids that I beat in the Pokemon Arena returned the next day with confidence and with buddies too! I knocked them all down with some difficulty. It appeared these brats learned from their mistakes and each other mistakes!

This was not in my calculations but fortunately, they were still too inexperienced to beat me! Anyway, considering that they did such a thing, I became more brutal in defeating them. I showed less mercy as I went with the most cunning and unexpected attacks causing them all to become speechless when Zubat used holes dug by a Sandshrew to sneak up on it.

I also had Beedrill completely surround a poor Rattata with Double Team before going Twin Missile. Anyway, the gist of the story was that I used all their attacks against them while also using my pokemon moves in a more cunning manner to destroy them.

I grinned madly as my goal was getting nearer! Previously I defeated 45 and now a good 103 came at me. These kids sure have good friends! They thought that they could overpower me by exhausting my pokemon! Too bad for them! I was keeping an eye on my pokemon every need! Proper feeding! Proper rest! Proper massages! Proper petting and playing! You will never beat me like that haha!

I had to take this into consideration since I knew that things weren't going to be easy after all. Only an idiot would not consider a barrage of attacks with the aim to exhaust him! Anyway, I initially had 10k points in my bag and I wanted 20k more points. I wanted to use 25k for a better recipe of Poke Cubes/blocks.

This was very important for my pokemon future! I did not care if I had to be slightly evil to get what I want after all! I was only 2 battles away too! I still wanted a spare 5k points just in case though. You never know when you need points and then find out that you used them all.

There was also another reason… money! Misty made me invest 60k on her! That made me roll over in tears whenever I think about it! Fortunately, the system had my back! Every 5 matches gave me 2.5k poke dollars! If I fought 200 times then I would earn a grand total of 100k!

I began drooling thinking about all that money! "Spearow use Quick Attack!" Shaking my head, I shouted, "Butterfree use Acrobatics and knock it down!" Butterfree moved gracefully to the side dodging the Spearow with a foot raised. Kicking down, Butterfree swatted Spearow into the ground knocking it out!

The kid shouted, "No! My Spearow!" Today was the 3rd day so I decided to be nicer since it would be the last day I would mess around. I nodded and said, "Good Spearow. It had a brilliant Quick Attack, but you forgot to consider that my Butterfree used Agility previously to dodge it. This gave it an advantage in speed. Afterward, my Butterfree kept its movement to a minimum and used Acrobatic to knock your Spearow down. You need to be smarter in the ways you attack. Instead of going to a straight Quick Attack, I would recommend using Quick Attack to reach your opponent before canceling it and using Gust to attack my Butterfree giving me little time to defend."

The kid was surprised but gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Why are you telling me this!" I shrugged and said, "I have seen enough kiddo. I wanted to see what the trainers in this town had and I did. I want these city trainers to become stronger and look at yourself now! Your Spearow is clearly faster than before. I can tell you put it through intense training in a single day to do that! The bond you created with your Spearow is much stronger now, isn't it? Can't you feel the growth both your Spearow and yourself have had?" It was the classic bullshit ability developed by protagonists with some truths of course.

The kid hearing my words calmed down and smiled saying, "You're right. I'm sorry for getting angry. Spearow, you did great! You got much faster than before!" Spearow who heard its praise became delighted and chirped, "Spearow!" The kid laughed and said, "Thanks, mister! I guess we misjudged you. You said all those mean things to encourage us right? You also told us about the best place to train to make us stronger!"

I nodded saying, "You're right! I wanted to help you all improve and that is what I'm doing!" Internally I said, 'That and strengthen my pokemon and reap myself some nice rewards from the system!' The kid laughed happily and said, "Let's fight again tomorrow!" I shook my head and said, "Actually, I was thinking of ending my fighting of this Arena today."

This kid was stunned before saying hurriedly, "Why? Is it because we can't beat you? I'm sure if you give us a bit more time we can defeat you. You have no idea how many trainers are giving it their all just to defeat you and claim themselves the champions of the arena."

I replied calmly, "Sorry but I have other things that I want to do." The kid looked sad for a moment before asking hopefully, "Next time then when you have free time?" I smiled behind the mask thinking that might actually be fun and said, "Of course! Next time I come by we will have another exciting battle just like this one!"

The kid nodded and left. News spread and I became famous! More trainers came over to fight me and finally, the day ended with 132 battles. My pokemon were exhausted and so was I. I smiled bitterly and said, "Good work you guys. The next few days will be break time!" My pokemon cheered weakly as we left for the pokemon center.

Handing them over to Nurse Joy who gave me a suspicious look which I shrugged off. I went to bed to rest! I was about to fall over until I had my collar grabbed by a certain redhead. She asked angrily, "You! Were you the one causing the panic in the city! I heard a bunch of trainers begging me to train them once they learned I was a gym leader!"

I laughed and said, "Ah! About that! I heard some random passerby destroyed the Pokemon Arena trainers and made them all train in good nature. I just gave the poor kids I came by advice but the great and beautiful Misty who was a very experienced Pokemon Trainer and Gym Leader! Such a kind-hearted and beautiful girl wouldn't be so mean to help the poor needy trainers get stronger right? It also made good train-

She let go of me with a blush and sparkly eyes saying, "Oh gosh! You should have just warned me! I was so worried about how I looked! I can't give a proper lesson if I don't look at my best! Thos-" I toned her out as I fell on my bed which felt like heaven. Finally! Relieve from my hellish training! I blacked out causing Misty who was over cloud nine to stomp her feet angrily when she realized that I fell asleep when she was talking.
