"Where did this brat come from?!"
"How dare you interrupt us!?"
Turning their heads, they saw a young boy.
Although Sawyer was already ten years old, he was half a head shorter than most kids his age, making him look even younger.
This, however, only made the two Team Magma Grunts grin menacingly as they turned and closed in on him.
They had just happened to be left out of the mission to seize the rocket fuel from the Mossdeep Space Center. So, they decided to take their frustration out on this brat!
"Chaa-ba!!"
Seeing their hostile expressions, the Treecko on Sawyer's shoulder leaped down, its yellow-green eyes narrowing.
Just like Ash's Grovyle, it had a cool-looking twig dangling from the corner of its mouth.
"Come on out, Poochyena!!"
"Take this brat down for me, Zubat!!"
The two Team Magma Grunts sneered, sending out their Pokémon.
Before Sawyer could even toss out another Poké Ball for a fair battle, his opponents' two Pokémon were already attacking.
"Poochyena, use Takedown!!" The small and agile Poochyena immediately took off running, its body glowing with a faint golden light as it charged forward menacingly.
Sawyer subconsciously reached for his notebook to think of a countermeasure, but Ash's words suddenly flashed through his mind.
"During a battle, you must always keep your eyes on the battlefield!"
As for notes, that was something to be dealt with after the battle was over.
At this thought, Sawyer put away his notebook, his gaze becoming firm as he stared straight at the charging Poochyena.
"Treecko, dodge it with Agility!!"
Treecko immediately started to run, its form blurring into a zigzagging bolt of lightning, completely evading Takedown.
"Zubat, use Air Cutter!!"
The second Team Magma Grunt commanded with a sinister laugh. This wasn't a fair battle; they were simply ganging up on him!
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Whoosh!!*
Zubat flapped its short wings, launching blades of blue-and-white wind.
"Chaa-ba!!"
This time, Treecko didn't dare to run around on the ground. Instead, it leaped high into the air, evading every blade.
"Now, Bullet Seed!!"
Sawyer shouted, his expression excited.
For a while now, he had only watched Ash's battles from a bystander's perspective. This was a rare chance for him to battle on his own, and even if his opponents were two thuggish Team Magma Grunts, it still made his blood boil with excitement.
*Dak! Dak! Dak!!*
A dense volley of green seeds struck the Zubat, dealing negligible damage.
"Heh heh, Poochyena, use Sand Attack!!"
However, just as Treecko landed, it was met with a faceful of sand, completely blinding its eyes.
"Chaa-ba..."
Treecko rubbed its eyes in discomfort, having completely lost its sight for the moment.
"Zubat, use Mean Look!!"
The other Team Magma Grunt didn't forget to add insult to injury.
The spectral single eye conjured by Zubat completely blocked off Treecko's escape route, trapping it on the battlefield.
"Heh heh."
"Heh heh."
Outnumbering it two to one, Poochyena and Zubat surrounded Treecko. Behind them, the two Grunts laughed wildly.
"Finish off this reckless brat's Pokémon! Poochyena, use Bite!!"
"How dare you mess with the great Team Magma! Zubat, use Poison Fang!!"
The next moment, both Pokémon rushed towards Treecko, their mouths open wide to reveal sharp, dangerous teeth.
But their target, Treecko, was frantically rubbing its eyes, a completely blind lizard at that moment.
"Treecko, calm down! Listen with your ears!"
Sawyer's composed voice helped Treecko calm down as well.
Just as Ash believed in his Pokémon, Sawyer also believed in his Treecko.
*Boom...!*
A feeling like an explosion erupted in Sawyer's chest, making him feel as if he and Treecko could accomplish anything.
"Is this the Bond that Ash was talking about...?"
Sawyer wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt like he was finally experiencing the bond between a trainer and their Pokémon that Ash had spoken of.
The two dangerous biting moves were closing in.
"Treecko, dodge with Agility!!"
Treecko was an inherently calm Pokémon, capable of standing still with its eyes closed all day.
Now that its sight was gone, its mind became even more focused.
"Chaa-ba...!"
*I hear them!*
Treecko's body moved swiftly. It ran like lightning, consecutively dodging the Bite and Poison Fang.
*Dak! Dak! Dak!!*
It even leaped high into the air, firing a dense stream of seed bullets from its mouth that exploded against Poochyena!
*Smack!!*
As it landed, it delivered a powerful tail lash, sending Zubat flying several meters away.
Gaining the advantage even while fighting two against one stirred an immense sense of pride in Treecko's heart after it landed.
"Chaa-ba!!"
It raised its head and let out an excited low roar.
The next instant, a strange white light burst forth from Treecko's body. Its form began to expand and change within the light...
When the light faded, a robust Grovyle stood before Sawyer.
"It... evolved?"
Sawyer stared blankly, unable to react for a good while.
The newly evolved Grovyle, however, was jumping on the spot. Both its physical strength and speed had increased significantly.
*Zing! Shwip!!*
As it moved, the long leaves on its arms were covered in a layer of verdant green light, extending outward into sharp, luminous green scythes.
"Did it master Leaf Blade?!"
Sawyer's breathing grew ragged, his expression just as excited.
He naturally recognized this move; it was the signature technique of Ash's Grovyle.
In the next moment, as if sharing one mind, Sawyer and Grovyle simultaneously turned their hostile gazes toward the two Team Magma Grunts before them.
But just as Grovyle was about to unleash its Leaf Blade...
*Whoosh! Whoosh!!*
Two beams of red light suddenly shot out, recalling the Poochyena and Zubat.
"Hmph... brat, consider yourself lucky today."
"We'll let you off this time. You won't be so lucky next time!"
The two Team Magma Grunts spat their threats and then promptly turned tail and fled.
*They could have fought, but there was no need. What awful luck today!*
Only the stunned Sawyer and Grovyle were left on the spot, bewildered by the turn of events.
Seeing that the incident was over, Sawyer finally walked forward and hugged his Grovyle... which was now even a little taller than him.
*Clap! Clap! Clap!!*
Just then, a clapping sound came from behind the boy and the lizard.
"That was a truly splendid battle~!"
A voice full of praise followed.
