"Pinsir, Go!"</div> <bR> <div> "Scyther, attack!" Slash called out milliseconds behind. "Cut!"</div> <bR> <div> "Pinsir, Tackle!" Henry ordered. Scyther charged it, blade first. But,</div> <div> Pinsir ducked beneath the swinging slash, and slammed it hard.</div> <bR> <div> "Quick Attack!" Slash commanded. Scyther shot forward, super-duper fast.</div> <bR> <div> "Vice Grip!" Henry said calmly. Pinsir caught Scyther in its claws,</div> <div> holding it tight.</div> <bR> <div> "Break free with Swords Dance, and then use Cut!" Slash cried. Scyther</div> <div> began to swing its blades around, breaking itself out of Pinsir's</div> <div> terrible grip. It then delivered a massive Cut across its face. "Now,</div> <div> Slam!"</div> <bR> <div> "Pinsir, Mega Punch!" Henry told his Pokemon. As Scyther shot at the</div> <div> seemingly wounded Pokemon, it delivered a massive punch, which sent it</div> <div> flying. "Now, Aerial Take</div> <div> Down!"</div> <bR> <div> Pinsir slammed Scyther with incredible force. The other bug type Pokemon</div> <div> crashed hard into the ground.</div> <bR> <div> "Scyther, give it another Quick Attack!" Slash shouted. Scyther shot at</div> <div> Pinsir as fast as it could, but Pinsir caught it with its claws and</div> <div> lifted it up.</div> <bR> <div> "Seismic Toss." Henry commanded emotionlessly. Pinsir shot up, holding</div> <div> Scyther. It then, threw the bug Pokemon down as hard as it could.</div> <bR> <div> "Fly attack!" Slash ordered. Scyther stopped in mid-air, as it shot up</div> <div> and tackled Pinsir while it was floating down.</div> <bR> <div> "Slash it!" Henry said. Pinsir delivered a massive swipe across</div> <div> Scyther's face, and then, slammed it hard into the ground.</div> <bR> <div> "Scyther, Double Team!" Slash told his Pokemon. He must've been</div> <div> desperate, as Scyther appeared to become three Pokemon. "You'll never</div> <div> find the real one."</div> <bR> <div> "Really?" Henry asked calmly. "Time to show you the wonder of TMs..</div> <div> Pinsir, Fire Spin attack!"</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Out in the field, Alex and Nightmare gasped in surprise. "That's</div> <div> impossible!" Alex cried, "How on earth did he come up with that?!"</div> <bR> <div> Pinsir's huge swarm of flame wrapped around the three Scyther's, and two</div> <div> disappeared. The remaining one was burned. It screeched in pain, as the</div> <div> fire finally dissipated, leaving it half-dead.</div> <bR> <div> "Skull Bash!" Slash cried. Scyther charged at Pinsir, head first. But,</div> <div> Pinsir caught it between its large, silver claws.</div> <bR> <div> "Guillotine." Henry ordered. Pinsir finished Scyther with the most</div> <div> powerful move a bug Pokemon could learn. Scyther fell, defeated.</div> <bR> <div> "Hmmf." Slash grunted, as he recalled Scyther. "You've won the Pokemon</div> <div> battle, but not the true fight. This day will be a draw."</div> <bR> <div> "Not if I have anything to say about it." Henry said calmly. "Let's go."</div> <bR> <div> "Henry, you don't have to do this!" Tom shouted, "Don't get yourself</div> <div> killed, just call it a draw!"</div> <bR> <div> "I can't, Tom." Henry replied. "This is to prove that Team Rocket truly</div> <div> can't beat us."</div> <bR> <div> "Well, sorry to crush your pitiful little dreams, then." Slash told him.</div> <div> "The rules, Alex?"</div> <bR> <div> "Basically, it's no holds barred. In other words, you can fight with</div> <div> weapons, your own hands and feet, you can fight anyway you want. The</div> <div> only way to win is if your opponent is completely knocked out." Alex</div> <div> explained. "Let's begin."</div> <bR> <div> "Fine with me!" Slash laughed devilishly, as he sent a foot flying at</div> <div> Henry. To his surprise, the Pokemon Master caught his foot, spun him</div> <div> around, and sent him flat on his face.</div> <bR> <div> "Idiot." Henry muttered, as he flipped backwards, bounced off a tree,</div> <div> and dropkicked Slash. He skidded back, and crashed into a nearby rock.</div> <bR> <div> "You'll pay for that!!" Slash promised, as he charged at Henry. Again,</div> <div> the Pokemon Master (literally) beat him to the punch, as he delivered a</div> <div> massive blow to his face. Henry then placed his head between his</div> <div> underarm, and did a DDT onto the ground. A DDT is a type of wrestling</div> <div> move that involves slamming one's face hard into the ground. Henry then</div> <div> lifted Slash up, and threw him into a tree. Slash rebounded off it, and</div> <div> kicked Henry in the face. The Pokemon Master skidded back, but quickly</div> <div> recovered, and kicked Slash between the legs, delivering the most</div> <div> powerful attack in history, the Low Blow. As Slash was disoriented,</div> <div> Henry did something unexpected. He raised both his middle fingers, and</div> <div> flipped Slash off. Slash was too surprised to react, as Henry kicked him</div> <div> in the stomach, turned around, grabbed Slash's neck with both arms, as</div> <div> he dropped down, and slammed Slash's head off his shoulder. This was</div> <div> another wrestling move, known quite well as the Stunner.</div> <bR> <div> "What?! Impossible!" Alex shouted in disbelief. He looked on at his best</div> <div> fighter, who lay in a heap.</div> <bR> <div> "Henry.won?" Nightmare couldn't believe it, either.</div> <bR> <div> "You did it, Henry!" Timber said happily.</div> <bR> <div> "Alright, Alex. Henry won both matches. We beat you, two out of three."</div> <div> Tom smiled.</div> <bR> <div> "You haven't won anything!" Alex growled. "You may have beaten us today,</div> <div> but I assure you, you won't beat us tomorrow!"</div> <bR> <div> Nightmare set Slash's unconscious body onto Alex's hovercraft, as he</div> <div> climbed aboard as well. Soon, Team Rocket lifted into the air, and</div> <div> disappeared.</div> <bR> <div> "Later, losers." Tom waved. "By the way, great style, Henry. Where'd you</div> <div> learn to fight like that?"</div> <bR> <div> "An old TV show called WWF Wrestling. There was this guy on it, called</div> <div> Stone Cold: Steve Austin, who did that exact move. I thought it would be</div> <div> cool if I myself learned it." Henry answered. "Anyway, what say we move</div> <div> on?"</div> <bR> <div> "Yeah," Timber nodded. "Hey, Tom, isn't the next place we're going your</div> <div> hometown?"</div> <bR> <div> "Yep!" Tom said happily. "Our next stop is Vermillion City!"</div> <bR> <div> "Well, if you two would actually move, we might make it there by</div> <div> tomorrow morning." Henry told them.</div> <bR> <div> "Oh, yeah! C'mon, let's go!" Tom shot forward, running faster than a</div> <div> Rapidash.</div> <bR> <div> "May I ask why you decided to join up with this guy?" Timber asked.</div> <bR> <div> "I was about to ask you that very question." Henry replied. "C'mon, we'd</div> <div> better catch up to him before he disturbs the peace."</div> <bR> <div> "Yeah." Timber agreed. "Let's go."</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
