Seeing this many Pokemons, Alex and s.h.i.+ny Pidgey were scared, but his grandpa and his pokemons were all vigilant. They were eyeing the surrounding in case of sneak attacks.Out of the three Pidgeot one came forward and cawed at them as if to surrender the Pidgey but Michael replied," Do you take me as a fool. I know you won"t leave us so why bother to be polite." He said harshly.
Pidgeot didn"t seem to take it kindly and sent a tornado of wind towards them but it was countered by Sandslash sandstorm.
Had he used stone wall it would have blocked the vision and put them at a disadvantage.
This attack initiated the war. All of them started to partic.i.p.ate in the attacks.
Three Pidgeot were blocked by the Sandslash and the others faced off Pikachu. Taurus stayed behind and took down the sneak attackers.
His grandpa too had a staff with him and also attacked the ones who also protected the younglings.
Sandslash vs Pidgeot
The Pidgeot are one of the fastest Pokemons but they were trapped in the sandstorm of Sandslash. whenever they we"re trying to escape it they were stopped but either rock throw or rock edge.
In the sandstorm Sandslash only attacked from a distance because if it is not a finis.h.i.+ng move he might be attacked and won"t have a chance to retaliated.
While in the sandstorm the Pidgeot used gist, wind attack and twister but Sandslash evaded them by burrowing underground or with a rock barrier.
The movement of Sandslash was not hidden from the leader of the group because of his keen eyes were more advanced then the other two.
Seeing the attacks not affecting he used hurricane which disrupted the movement of Sandslash getting the chance he used heat wave and stopped the ongoing sandstorm attacks.
The Pidgeot leader then signalled other Pidgeot to leave. He knew he couldn"t take leave or else this powerful Sandslash alone could take down the entire group.
His sandstorm was being countered by the wind control of Pidgeot or the other Pidgeot would have already lost by now. The Pidgeot thought only their clan leader could take this Sandslash down. so he had to restrain him or fail the leader.
Seeing the opportunity the two tried to run away but Sandslash himself was an experienced battler he tried to stop them by rock tomb. This could have stopped them had it not for Pidgeot using brave bird to destroy the obstacles.
He though hurt by recoil looked at the Sandslash gloating. By this one Pidgeot escaped the siege but seeing Taurus near he once again surrounded them with sandstorm and now started to attack them .
Lack of one Pidgeot lessen the pressure on him but increased it on the two left behind.
Meanwhile
Pikachu vs Pidgeotto
While Sandslash took on Pidgeot he took on nearly a dozen Pidgeotto. It would have been difficult for any other Pikachu but for a well trained one then they could take them on.
The Pidgeotto had number advantage but their attacks were plain and simple to be avoided by him with his speed. He attacked them with thundershock. He could have taken on them if given time but they kept him on his toes.
Whenever surrounded he would use quick attack to climb them paralysed them with thunder wave or took them down with thundershock.
This was effective but also took a toll on it"s stamina. His moves weren"t causing much as they replaced the fallen ones.
This also let more and more bypa.s.s him and reach taurus and Michael.
If it was only them they could survive but with Alex there they too were trapped. The longer they stayed the more difficult it would be for them
This was noticed by an experienced trainer like Michael so he told Taurus," Taurus take them away. Protect them. " The pokemons already knew this might happen so they already were prepared but having experience this is different.
For Taurus to leave his friends here was painful but he was already told if they were stuck then what to do.
He mooed at Michael then took the surrounding ones down by a blizzard. It gave them an opening and then he picked up Alex by it"s mouth had him ride him and escape the opening.
Alex who was surprised by this action told Taurus to stop and let them go help his grandpa and others but he didn"t listen and continued to run.
Alex turned around to see his grandpa"s soft smile encouraging him to leave. Alex was spiritually mature but not having experienced the war and lose of loved ones made him emotionally weak.
This along with his good heart and his bright views about pokemons and the world made it difficult to accept this reality.
Taurus ran full speed for some time but soon the escaped Pidgeot attacked them from behind with air slash.
Taurus though in hurry was cautious he dodged the attack. He then dropped Alex on the ground and motioned him to head back. They were about few minutes walk from the town now.
Taurus not waiting for his response rushed to attack the Pidgeot to get rid of the grievance of leaving his partners behind.
Alex now knew he was too weak to help and protect them so he ran quickly towards the town. As he reached near he saw a familiar old guy, Jamie. He was the travelling companion of his grandpa.
After narrating all he knew as fast as he could he turned unconscious. Jamie noticed the few important words in his incorrigible speech. " "Pidgeot attacks", " Grandpa trapped" , "Taurus nearby stopping other pokemon".
He released Bouffalant and had him take Alex to his house and then he released his own Pidgeot and rode him to find Taurus.
Our hero had seen the horror of Pokemon and dangers of wild. What will happen to grandpa and his Pokemons stay tuned.
