Pokemon: Sign-in System

Chapter 12: Shiny Scyther



In the ensuing half-hour, Adrian embarked on an exhilarating journey through the dense wilderness, where he uncovered a multitude of Pokémon boasting professional-level qualifications. Among his discoveries were not only several Professional-level Pokémon but also the occasional glimpse of ones that reached the Ace level of qualification. However, despite these impressive finds, there remained a longing within him for something even more extraordinary. Though he felt no urgency in his search, he quickened his pace, driven by a burgeoning anticipation.

In an unexpected moment, as the vibrant foliage swayed gently in the breeze, a dark shadow flickered past him, vanishing almost instantly into the depths of the forest. At first, Adrian thought he must have imagined it, but then his Pokémon detection ability activated, revealing vital information about the elusive creature.

It was a Scyther! Adrian's heart raced at the realization; its combat power exceeded that of his own Gabite, sparking excitement within him. A SHiny Pokémon! This was a momentous occasion, as he had never encountered one in his previous adventures. Such Pokémon were akin to legends and as prestigious as pseudo-legendary Pokémon within the Pokémon world. Even a Shiny Weedle would be considered a remarkable find, but here was a Scyther, a creature so much more valuable. The prospect of one day evolving into a Scizor, a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, made it an invaluable asset for any Trainer.

He couldn't contain his exhilaration. "The Halo of the Goddess of Luck truly works wonders!" he shouted joyfully, determination surging through him as he made his way toward the direction where Scyther had disappeared.

As he ventured deeper into the woods, he finally spotted the remarkable Shiny Scyther amidst the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. Its most striking feature, without a doubt, was the razor-sharp scythes on both of its arms, shimmering ominously as they caught the light. The creature moved with impressive grace, its body equally defined by sharp edges and angles on its thighs, showcasing both elegance and danger. Yet, what made this Scyther exceptionally captivating was its unusual black coloration. Unlike its typical green counterparts, this black Scyther exuded a powerful and commanding aura, reminiscent of a leader Pokémon within its group. Its presence suggested confidence and strength, indicating it had likely earned a dominant position through both its physical stature and combat prowess.

Though not overwhelmingly stronger than other Pokémon, the perfect proportions of the black Scyther indicated a formidable balance between attack and defense—a true marvel of nature. As Adrian observed the creature, he felt an overwhelming sense of discovery, as if he had stumbled upon a rare gem hidden within the forest's depths.

He quickly realized he wasn't the only one captivated by this extraordinary find. Trainers watching the live broadcast were equally enthralled. Following the dramatic showdown with Beedrill, Adrian's recognition had skyrocketed, capturing the attention of many. The director, monitoring the broadcast, noted that Adrian's segments now dominated a staggering quarter of the entire stream, even surpassing slightly more famous trainers. Despite not engaging in battles for the past thirty minutes, viewers were hanging onto his every action, spellbound by the unfolding adventure.

As the black Scyther graced the live broadcast, the audience erupted in a chorus of gasps and exclamations. The chat overflowed with enthusiastic comments and emojis, causing the viewer count to spike. The director's grin grew wider as he witnessed the impressive engagement metrics, secretly thrilled at the success of the broadcast.

"This kid is incredibly lucky," he mused, admiring the way Adrian effortlessly drew in the audience. The show had become an exhilarating ride filled with breathtaking moments, each surpassing the last. Just when it seemed that Gabite's evolution was the pinnacle of the day, Adrian managed to encounter a shiny Pokémon, solidifying his position as the star of the event. At that moment, a hint of envy flickered within the middle-aged director as he thought of his own experiences.

In the forest, Adrian took a cautious step forward, anticipation bubbling within him as he wanted to examine the magnificent creature more closely. With every step he took, the viewers' hearts raced alongside his, eagerly awaiting the next thrilling moment in this unfolding adventure.

However, he inadvertently stepped on a branch that lay beneath his feet, causing a sudden and sharp clicking sound to echo through the surroundings. In that instant, he noticed a flash of light gleaming in Scyther's eyes. With a remarkable burst of speed, it vibrated its wings rapidly and disappeared behind the nearest tree in the blink of an eye. Adrian was now left exposed in the open, fully aware of the imminent danger.

The tension in the live broadcast room was palpable, with the audience feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement far greater than his own. They were both envious of Adrian's position and terrified of what was about to unfold. After all, Pokémon of unique colors often signify enhanced strength and exceptional abilities, which added to their apprehension. Yet, despite the stakes, Adrian maintained a calm demeanor in front of the camera, showing no signs of panic. He understood that engaging Scyther in battle was unavoidable; his goal was to make Scyther yield willingly, and without a battle, it was almost impossible.

"Scy!"

Scyther, filled with a fierce determination, brandished his sharp sickles menacingly at Adrian. His striking appearance, complete with a sleek black exoskeleton that resembled armor, only heightened the sense of danger. The cold, calculating temperament radiating from Scyther created an unsettling atmosphere, making Adrian feel as though he was being targeted by a skilled assassin. The air was thick with tension as both the audience and Adrian prepared for what was about to happen.

He immediately turned to Gabite, urgency in his voice as he commanded, "Gabite, unleash Dragon Breath!"

 

A dazzling blue aura erupted from Gabite's mouth, spreading out like a shimmering net across the battlefield, wrapping around Scyther and intensifying the surrounding Contest Condition with an electric energy.

 

The black Scyther stood resolutely, betraying no signs of panic as the Dragon Breath drew nearer. It was clear that this Pokémon was no novice; its battle-hardened instincts took over. Just as the Dragon Breath surged toward it, Scyther's muscles coiled with power, and in an instant, it vanished from sight like a flash of lightning.

A powerful gust of wind followed in its wake, sending ripples through the air and altering the path of the Dragon Breath. Adrian tightened his grip and narrowed his eyes, determination etching his features. "Gabite, move in closer!" he commanded, sensing the moment of opportunity.

 

With swift precision, Gabite launched herself forward, its speed peaking as it darted silently in front of Scyther, which had just come to a stop. The air crackled with tension as a fierce whirlwind from Scyther's Fury Cutter surged toward Gabite.

In a heartbeat, Scyther pivoted with razor-sharp reflexes, its head snapping around to meet the attack. Gabite's Dragon Claw sliced through the air, leaving a deep, angry mark along Scyther's neck and shoulders. The impact echoed with a low groan from the black Scyther, a testament to the ferocity of their clash.

The battle was escalating, each moment more intense than the last. The blue dragon energy that had once surrounded Gabite slowly began to dissipate, its form returning to a more grounded state as the scar on its shoulder began to slowly bleed. It stared at the injury with a calculated focus, not allowing the pain to distract from the mission at hand. Gabite's expression was a mixture of determination and calculated calm, its eyes narrowing as it assessed the situation.

Scyther, agile and precise, hovered in mid-air, the buzzing of its wings reverberating through the stadium. Its sharp, green body shimmered as it maintained perfect control of its movements. It was clear that it had been trained for speed and grace, capable of darting in and out of combat at a moment's notice. But now, as the battle continued, it became increasingly clear that Gabite was no ordinary opponent.

When Gabite's dragon claws were about to strike, Scyther's wings vibrated at an incredibly high frequency, the rapid motion sending it soaring into the sky with the precision of a master aerialist. This immediate lift gave it a temporary advantage, but Gabite was not going to let it escape so easily. Adrian, always thinking a step ahead, issued the next command in a calm yet commanding tone.

"Gabite, use double cut!"

With the order, Gabite's two fins, located on its arms, suddenly flared outward, their edges turning sharp as they began to glow with intense, white light. The light wasn't just a visual cue—it was an indicator of the power and force behind the attack. Gabite's body leaned into the attack as it surged toward Scyther, the fins resembling the sharpest of blades. The battle was no longer just a test of power; it was about precision, timing, and adaptability.

Scyther's wings, already in full motion, quickly adjusted to the shift in Gabite's position. Scyther's speed allowed it to narrowly dodge the first incoming cut, its body twisting in the air with surprising grace. However, Gabite's cute wasn't just a simple two-strike attack—it was designed to be continuous and relentless. The second cut came in immediately after the first, and Scyther was left with little room to maneuver.

The fins sliced through the air like two razor-sharp scythes, their speed and force unmatched. Scyther, struggling to maintain its aerial position, barely managed to parry the strike with its blades, though the force of the blow sent a shockwave through its body. The audience watching through the live broadcast could feel the weight of the battle through the screen, their attention captured entirely by the intensity of each exchange.

The students watching the broadcast in their classroom, initially uninterested and frustrated by the mandatory assignment, began to feel the thrill of the battle. They had been tasked with analyzing the fight, but the skill and strategy displayed by the two Pokémon quickly changed their attitude. As Gabite's double cut continued to land powerful strikes on Scyther, the students noticed the subtle shifts in strategy, the use of evasive maneuvers, and the careful timing that went into every attack.

One middle school teacher, who had assigned the analysis, immediately posted an emergency notice in the class group. The message was direct and urgent: "Watch the live broadcast of the graduation assessment in Velmor now, give a profound analysis of the battle between Scyther and Gabite, and write at least a 1,000-word review!" The notice was met with a mix of groans and reluctant compliance. After all, it was the holiday, and the last thing anyone expected was to be tethered to a classroom task.

But as the students reluctantly turned their attention to the live broadcast, the atmosphere in the room changed. They began to pay closer attention, noticing the intensity of Gabite's attacks and Scyther's agile evasions. The battle wasn't just about strength—it was a display of strategy. Gabite was powerful, but Scyther's movements were fluid, relying on its speed and precision to avoid or deflect blows. The two Pokémon seemed locked in a delicate dance, each testing the other's limits, waiting for an opening.

Suddenly, the student who had initially been uninterested found their focus completely captured. They watched as Gabite's relentless attacks pushed Scyther to its limits, each strike a reminder of the raw power at play. The strikes were fast, precise, and brutal. Scyther's wings buzzed frantically as it narrowly avoided a fatal blow, the wind from the force of the attack whipping around it. Yet, despite the pressure, Scyther managed to remain airborne, constantly shifting its position to stay one step ahead of Gabite's relentless barrage.

The live broadcast continued, each second bringing a new level of excitement. The audience, like the students, had been captivated by the skill and intensity of the battle. They were no longer just passive viewers; they were fully engaged, analyzing the strategies, tactics, and sheer force behind every strike. It became clear that both Pokémon were giving everything they had, and the outcome of this battle was far from certain.

The students, now fully immersed in the analysis, began to take notes. They weren't just watching a Pokémon battle—they were learning about the importance of preparation, strategy, and adaptability in the face of adversity. This wasn't just a lesson in Pokémon battle—it was a lesson in perseverance, tactics, and thinking on your feet. Gabite's powerful strikes and Scyther's rapid movements were a testament to the trainers' foresight and the Pokémon's training.

As the battle raged on, the students found themselves unexpectedly captivated. Their initial resistance had faded, replaced by a deep appreciation for the level of skill and strategy that went into each move. The teacher's assignment, which had seemed like a nuisance just moments ago, had now become an exciting opportunity to engage with the very real excitement of a high-level Pokémon battle.
