Episode 1: Kick Into Battle. PokéRider JAX is Born!
Opening: Welcome to the World of Pokémon! This world is inhabited by mysterious creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Others use them for fights. Myself...I study Pokémon as a profession. Or at least, that’s what I was supposed to do. The body that I found for myself certainly has that as one of its primary features. Oh, I guess that I should introduce myself before this becomes too confusing. I am Experiment 601807 of Project Gi.A.C.S. (Gigantmax Alternative Combat System). I am actually a Pokémon, known as Rotom. I am a Ghost Pokémon that has the innate ability to posses various machines and technology created by humans. I am currently trapped within a device that is commonly mistaken for a Rotom Phone.
No, this was not by choice. However, I make do with what I have. I was born and raised in the Region known as Galar. Galar is rather unique, even compared to other parts of the Pokémon World due to the phenomenon known as Dynamaxing. A mysterious power that allows Pokémon in certain areas to grow to enormous size and sometimes even change their appearance. The reason for this mysterious power is still unknown to the general public. Many experiments are being conducted to find out as much as they can. I’d love to tell you about it, but that wasn’t exactly *my* department.
No, my captors were more interested with another strange Phenomenon that shouldn’t exist in our world. The power of PokéRiders, masked humans with the ability to either Transform, Fuse or Mimic the powers of Pokémon. At first there was only one PokéRider in Kanto (now called “PokéRider Red” to help avoid confusion of other PokéRiders such as PokéRider Blue and PokéRider Dash), but every region seems to have one or more PokéRiders. The latest being Alola’s PokéRider Fight, of whom, the Gi.A.C.S. development team based their own development research on. They wanted to replicate the Switch Belt without the need of the very rare Z-Crystals (unique to Alola).
Unfortunately (and also fortunately depending on your perspective), their highly unethical experiments succeeded… All I can remember is that the good Professor Collins (one of a few, I’d say) managed to get me and three completed JAX Drive Keys out of the building before the entire facility was utterly destroyed in a horrific lab accident… the accident, that I believe, released the threat known as the Dynoxious.
“Today is the day. Today’s going to be the day! That I, Beans Jappin, will finally defeat the Spikemuth Gym Leader and get my Dark Badge!”
“Not you again,” Piers, the RockStar Gym Leader sighed, “How were you able to keep your endorsement for this long?”
“Because I am that good!”
“The Gym Challenge doesn’t even start until tomorrow,” Piers scratched the back of his head, “Besides, it’s been eight years in a row, Shorty.”
“Don’t Call Me Short!” Beans stomped.
“Why does that part make you angry,” Piers’s sweat-dropped.
“Just stop looking down on me and face me already,” Beans pulled out the Pokéball for his first Pokémon.
“Fine fine,” Piers being rather bored pulled out his Pokéball and not his microphone stand, “but I’m rather tired of this same old song and dance routine.”
(Ten Minutes Later)
Beans is nearly pulling out his hair in frustration, “Why Is this So Freaking Impossible!!!”
Piers pat the losing Trainer on the back, “I mean, your Pokémon are clearly strong. Not as strong as the Champion, but still.”
“I still loose even though you can’t even Dynamax!”
Piers’s face went pale at this remark before he slumped into a depression right next to the shorter Trainer also in a depressed state. The various members of Team Yell felt just as bad for Beans as they did Piers their Gym Leader. This pity party caught the attention of one girl. A usually cheerful girl named Harper, who consistently traveled with Beans as he traveled and trained.
“Here,” she handed the two of them a takeout bag of (not even cold) burgers, “you guys need a bit of a pick me up.”
“Thank you Harper…,” the two groaned as they accepted their food.
“Although you do raise a good point,” Piers opened up after a minute or two, “You’re clearly a skilled trainer. You consistently show that to me, even though I know that I’ll win in the end-”
“HEY!”
“So why is it that you can never seem to defeat all five of my Pokémon?”
Harper made the face of absolute shame for she knew exactly why Beans always lost. Beans specialized in defeating Dynamaxed Pokémon. She couldn’t remember a single time Beans had ever won a full out Pokémon Battle unless either his opponent was that weak or their final Pokemon was Dynamaxed. The fact that he never lost a single battle in a Dynamax Den was proof of that much, which of course was why her father, Samuel Collins, constantly got a letter of recommendation for him.
“Total mystery to me,” Beans shrugged, pulling out the Pokéball for his Corviknight, Mordread to help taxi them back into the Wild Area for some more training.
“I wish that I could help, but you know,” Piers shook his head, “If I make it easy for you then I’d have to do it for everyone. I can’t play favorites.”
“I know. Ready to go Harper?”
“Just about,” Harper readied her bag, she hated flying, “Can we stop off in Hammerlocke first? Dad texted me saying he has something he wants me to take care of.”
“Alright, it’s not that far out of our way,” Beans stroked the chest of his trusted companion, “isn’t that right, Mordread.”
Mordread gave a deep dark stare that could look deep into your very soul. This great beast had been the first of the short master’s collection. He had seen so many battles. So many victories, so many loses… Yea, so many had begged this mighty beast for the sweet release of Fainting and returning to the land of the Blackout, of which he swiftly carries out.
“Then we can have a big pot of Sweet Decorative Curry.”
Mordread danced in place like a little girl trying not to “squeee-hehehehe” in excitement…. That usually would scare everyone else and then he wouldn’t get his sweet sweet reward.
“Alright, let’s g-”
Harper was cut off by the sound of a huge explosion coming from outside of town.
“What was that?”
“Piers! Piers,” a pair of Team Yell Grunts came rushing in, “something crazy’s happened in Hammerlocke!”
“What!?! Marnie is staying in Hammerlocke!”
“Wait, isn’t she’s in Motostoke waiting for the Gym Challenge to start right now,” one of the Grunts asked, obviously confused.
“Oh, right…,” Piers sighed in relief, “still what could be going on in Hammerlocke?”
A female Team Yell Grunt was looking at her Rotom Phone for any sudden news bulletins, “Looks like there was a terrible accident in one of the underground laboratories.”
“Dad!”
The two of them wasted no time getting themselves hooked onto Mordread to fly straight to Hammerlocke. Even with Harper’s usual hatred of flying, the Corviknight managed to get the two of them into the city at a relatively fast pace. Harper tried to call her dad to see if he was alright, but received no reply from him for the entire flight.
Upon reaching the borders of the walled city, it was very clear that the whole city was in chaos. While the explosion itself was relatively small, there was also a sudden increase of Dynamaxed Pokémon going wild. As soon as they landed, Beans didn’t even have time to unclip himself before Harper was already running in the direction of the lab.
“Hold on Harper,” Beans shouted, “It’s not safe!”
“Dad,” Harper shouted as she rounded a corner out of Beans’ sight, “Dad, where are you!?!”
Just then, behind Beans, a Dynamaxed Greediant smashed its way through the corner of another building.
“Ugh,” Beans finally managed to unclip himself, “Mordread, go catch up and protect Harper! I’ll be fine on my own.”
The Raven Pokémon nodded his head before taking off into the sky.
“Somebody’s got to stop all of these Pokémon before somebody gets hurt,” Beans prepared for battle with any other surprises that might show up before he caught up to Harper himself.
The chaos continued throughout the city. Even various Gym Leaders and Champion Leon himself came to the aid of the citizens, but they all had their hands full. Thus they failed to notice the true danger was hunting down Dr. Collins and the contents of his suitcase.
“Really now, Professor Collins,” a former associate of his stated as he blocked the runaway’s escape, “stealing from your employer? For shame.”
“It’s my research Patrick,” Professor Collins clutched the briefcase close to his chest, “And I’m not going to allow it to be misused.”
“You can’t hold back progress, Doc,” Patrick Seiz tilted his head as he took out a Drive Key and his Rotom Phone. He pressed the button on the surface and a metal key shot out. The key announced its power, “Eat!”
“No don’t,” Professor Collins tried to stop him from inserting the key into his Rotom Phone, but it was too late.
“In-FecK-TeOn,” the Rotom Phone’s screen flickered as the Rotom inside grew twisted and poisoned. Its oval eyes turned into triangles and teeth sharpened. This strange form change had been observed a few times by Professor Collins, but to see it up close was frightening. The creature then latched onto Patrick and shrouded him in the light of Transformation. Professor Collins didn’t bother to wait for his former colleague to finish changing before he ran for it.
“Give it up. Doc,” the large bodied monster yawned, “you can’t escape me.”
“You think that I could considering you’re using Snorlax as the Basis for your Transformation,” the doctor jokingly shrugged to an invisible audience before a small (but much more powerful) Max Strike formed below his feet. Even though he had time to get out of the way, the aftershock of the attack was still like being hit by a truck. The good doctor flew across the street and into a brick wall. The briefcase he was carrying flew in a different direction.
“Dad,” Harper caught sight of her father getting hurt and barely noticed the humanoid Pokémon that had hurt him.
“Harper,” the doctor was losing consciousness, “Sweetheart. Run.”
“Dad, no.”
“Run,” Dr. Collins begged her.
“Don’t even bother.”
Harper finally noticed the creature before her. It looked like a Snorlax, but somehow smaller and walking on slightly longer legs. He also had a very large tree growing out of his stomach. Despite how silly he looked, his eyes glowed a vicious red. It was clear that this… Thing was not a Pokémon, but some sick twisted hybrid creature.
“What the heck are you!?! Some kind of Pokémon?”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I’m a Dynoxious. The next step of both Human and Pokémon Evolution!”
“Harp-….run,” Dr. Collins pushed his daughter to leave him.
“Dad!”
“Oh well, can’t leave any witnesses,” the Dynoxious charged at the two of them. Harper screamed before a Mordread swooped down with a Brave Bird. Amazingly enough, it had no effect on Patrick aside from being a slight annoyance. The Snorlax Dynoxious grabbed the bird by the throat and threw him, crashing into a wall. Mordread tried to get back up, but Fainted.
“See? Superior to Pokémon in every way. Nothing can stop even…,” it was only now the creature noticed that his targets were no longer where he saw them last. Harper and her father were already halfway down the street being helped by Beans.
“Ugh, not more running…,” the Dynoxiou huffed as he through his body weight as best he could to run after the two of them, “This would be so much easier without this stupid tree growing on my belly!”
The Dynoxious then took hold of one of the fruits that was going on it to eat for energy.
“That thing one-shoted Mordread,” Beans shouted his frustrations, “What kind of whacked up experiments were you doing, Doc?”
“I… where’s…,” the confused doctor looked of the briefcase.
“Dad, what are you?”
“We need to…,” the doctor pointed to the case when he spotted it, “use Rotom…giacks...”
“Jacks,” Beans questioned, but the good doctor finally blacked out. He become nothing more than dead weight for his daughter and Beans. Luckily, the Dynoxious wasn’t stupid enough to just outright attack again without remembering the package he was supposed to retrieve took top priority.
“Oh that’s right. I need to get back the Experiment he stole.”
Beans wished that at least one of his Fighting-Type Pokémon weren’t still recovering from the fight against Piers, but after seeing how this Normal-Type could take down his Steel Bird even that didn’t seem like an option either. Still, he had to do something to protect Harper and her father. He made a mad dash for the briefcase.
“Oh no you don’t,” the Dynoxious stomped the ground summoning another pillar of light to get between Beans and said briefcase. The explosion of light wasn’t enough for Beans’ reflexes. He knew how to avoid being seriously hurt or damaged by Max Attacks from all of his Max Raid Battling experience. Still, it meant that he had to move pretty fast to get to the briefcase and not be hurt too badly himself. Beans flew into the air as the case smashed open by the aftershock.
From inside the case flew a Rotom (yes, you met me already), who was already well panicked from all of the commotion he heard from inside the case. The Rotom Phone zipped around apparently looking for something. Three somethings to be precise, but the enemy was already onto him.
“No, don’t you dare try to escape Experiment 601807!”
“A Rotom Phone,” the human closest to me yelled, “you’re hunting us down because of a freaking PHONE!?!”
“Excuze me, *BTZZZ* but I am not Juzt a phone….,” I looked down at my body, “Okay, so maybe I look like one, bu-*TZZZ* We don’t have time for thiz.”
I zipped own to the human’s belt, “We must save the Professor.” I released the connectors to wrap it’s way around his waist before handing him. Naturally he was rather confused by his new accessory. I zipped down and as best as I could pointed out the red JAX Drive Key on the ground.
“Quickly human,” I shouted, “push the button and stick thiz key into me.”
“This thing,” Beans asked as he pick up the drive. Though in his eyes, it looked like a thick Cinderace themed Flashdrive with a big button on it.
“Yes, now hurry.”
The human complied by pushing the button. This prompted the drive to flip out a metalic key and state “Kick Style”.
“No, you don’t,” the Snorlax creature ate another fruit before trying to summon yet another Max Strike.
I zipped down to attach myself to the belt and activated my “Protect” function. (Really it’s just a Max Guard that I can only activate once per day as it takes a lot of power to do so without becoming Dynamaxed myself. Which I can’t do in this body.) Luckily, it was just enough to stop that attack. Beans was shocked by this.
“I can’t block the next attack,” I explained to my very confused partner, “*BTZZZ*Stick it in me, yell Henshin *BTZZZ*and flip the handle up like it’z a switch. *BTZZZ*Now.”
“Alright,” Beans stuck the JAX Drive Key in which gave me a great amount of power… Though I did not expect there to be…. music. None of us did.
“I am… risking my life…,” Beans was understandably angry, “for a weirdo Music Player!?!”
“Just say Henshin*BTZZZ*,” I buzzed, I was embarrassed enough for the both of us.
“Henshin!” Beans flipped the non-metalic half of the key upwards, locking it into place. I released my light of Transformation. The Scientists that worked on me would call it Evolution, but in reality it was more akin to the power of a Ditto than the Evolution of Slowpoke or Slowking. My body was designed to take all of the power and information stored on the Drive Key to infuse it into the human wearing my belt.
When the light faded, the figure standing before everyone was no longer Beans Jappin, but the newest PokéRider, I proudly announced after that final silly jingle, “PokéRider JAX, Kick Style!”
“Whoa, I feel so much stronger,” Beans checked out the armor of his new body,“Okay, this is super weird.”
“Conzentrate on the battle!*BTZZZ*”
“Wait, what!?!”
The Dynotious ate yet another fruit that seemed to have grown from his body before launching another Max Strike. Luckily, Beans’ natural reflexes kicked in (no pun intended). He leaped a bit higher and further than he thought he would. This is because in order to help him dodge I accessed the move Bounce without telling him. Even so, he recovered rather quickly. The moment he noticed that he was about to hit a building he backflipped so that he could land feet first into the wall. Then sprang back out towards our enemy.with “Flame Charge!”
The Dynoxious blocked the first attack, but he was too slow to stop JAX from landing a few more blows. I, of course, didn’t have to give him any instruction on how to fight. Although, he was understandably shocked when his kick turned into a “Double Kick!” This knocked Patrick back a half a foot.
“How am I doing this,” JAX asked me as he had a moment to breath.
“Project Gi.A.C.S. allowtz my wearer to aczetz the Powerzzz of Pokémon*BTZZZ*,” I explained, “in thiz caze, Cinderace.*BTZZZ*”
Patrick tried to move to strike JAX down, but since he wasn’t using a move, his attack was easily dodged.
“So I can do things like Double Kick?”
I buzzed as I acknowledged the command, making him do a succession of kicks into open space Yes, I realize he didn’t actually want to perform the move, but I cannot resist my programing.
“Yeztz. And they are all voizte activated.”
“Cool,” JAX stated before dodging yet another attack from the Snorlax creature, this time a proper Max Strike. Unfortunately this one had hit its target. JAX hadn’t taken the full hit, but it still hurt.
During this whole ordeal, I spent my time analyzing the enemy Dynoxious. It is in my also programing after all.
“That’s strange,” I commented.
“Getting hit?”
“Hitz attackz.”
“Oh and the transforming into a Pokémon man isn’t.”
“Fair enough,” I buzzed, “bu a Dynoxiouz workz itz a double-edged sword. *Btzz*Bezt I can describe it. *Btzz* Think of it like how a normal Pokémon equipped with a Life Orb would perform. *Btzz* Strong attackz for the pritze of low Stamina. *Btzz* He should have fainted by now on hiz own from all these Max Strikes.”
“Max Strike? Oh, I think that I know why,” JAX smirked before charging directly at his opponent, now with a clear target in mind, “Blaze Kick!”
The Snorlax tried to dodge, but JAX wasn’t aiming for him, but rather his fruit and tree.
“No,” the Dynoxious panicked. Partly because his natural instincts made him absolutely hate loosing his food supply. The other part was that JAX managed to figure out how he managed to keep on his feet for so long. He tried to stop drop and roll to put out the flames, but it was too late. Fruit can’t grow on burnt branches and it wasn’t like the tree was an actual part of his body.
Gigantmax Snorlax can’t use Max Strike,” JAX explained to me, “because all Normal Moves would turn into a move called G-Max Refresh instead. It’s similar to Max Strike, but it also restores held Berries.”
That’s when I realized the fruit that he was growing were Sitrus Berries. Without them, he’d faint for sure.
“Oh*BTZZZ* I can’t believe that I made such an error. Great job,*Btzz* He’s going to be losing energy now,” I congratulated, “*Btzz* but we must finish him off before he tries something*Btzz* more drastic.”
“Okay, how do we do that?”
“*Btzz* Press my face.”
“Seriously?”
“*Btzz*, it’ll activate your final attack,” I explained, “*Btzz*but you’ll only have one shot. *Btzz* So don’t miss.”
“Alright,” JAX shrugged before doing as he was instructed.
“*Btzz*RIDEZ UHP!”
JAX performed a low kick around where he was standing summoning a ring of fire, followed by a tower of fire that launched us into the air. JAX was surprised at first as his body seemed to be moving all on it’s own. Which it wasn’t. It was moving at my command for the first part. JAX seemed to understand exactly how this attack sequence was going to work too. Once the tower reached its peak height, he flipped and drew in all of that fire energy into a single red ball. To which, he kicked straight into and continued his decent straight into the enemy.
“Pyro Ball*Btzz* Im-pact!”
The Snorlax Dynoxious tried to resist, but it was all in vain. The flaming body of JAX’s Kick Style Attack crashed right through and meager defenses that he had put up. This resulted in a Dynamax style explosion. The Rotox infecting him crashed, releasing the Rotom inside and breaking the Infected Key into useless scrap.
Now that we were out of energy, I powered down myself. This meant that I couldn’t witness as Beans Transformed back into his normal human form and collapsed himself. Leaving us at the mercy of Harper Collins to decide what to do for her saviors and father.

“Oh well, can’t leave any witnesses,” the Dynoxious charged at the two of them. Harper screamed before a Mordread swooped down with a Brave Bird. Amazingly enough, it had no effect on Patrick aside from being a slight annoyance. The Snorlax Dynoxious grabbed the bird by the throat and threw him, crashing into a wall. Mordread tried to get back up, but Fainted.
“See? Superior to Pokémon in every way. Nothing can stop even…,” it was only now the creature noticed that his targets were no longer where he saw them last. Harper and her father were already halfway down the street being helped by Beans.
“Ugh, not more running…,” the Dynoxiou huffed as he through his body weight as best he could to run after the two of them, “This would be so much easier without this stupid tree growing on my belly!”
The Dynoxious then took hold of one of the fruits that was going on it to eat for energy.
“That thing one-shoted Mordread,” Beans shouted his frustrations, “What kind of whacked up experiments were you doing, Doc?”
“I… where’s…,” the confused doctor looked of the briefcase.
“Dad, what are you?”
“We need to…,” the doctor pointed to the case when he spotted it, “use Rotom…giacks...”
“Jacks,” Beans questioned, but the good doctor finally blacked out. He become nothing more than dead weight for his daughter and Beans. Luckily, the Dynoxious wasn’t stupid enough to just outright attack again without remembering the package he was supposed to retrieve took top priority.
“Oh that’s right. I need to get back the Experiment he stole.”
Beans wished that at least one of his Fighting-Type Pokémon weren’t still recovering from the fight against Piers, but after seeing how this Normal-Type could take down his Steel Bird even that didn’t seem like an option either. Still, he had to do something to protect Harper and her father. He made a mad dash for the briefcase.
“Oh no you don’t,” the Dynoxious stomped the ground summoning another pillar of light to get between Beans and said briefcase. The explosion of light wasn’t enough for Beans’ reflexes. He knew how to avoid being seriously hurt or damaged by Max Attacks from all of his Max Raid Battling experience. Still, it meant that he had to move pretty fast to get to the briefcase and not be hurt too badly himself. Beans flew into the air as the case smashed open by the aftershock.
From inside the case flew a Rotom (yes, you met me already), who was already well panicked from all of the commotion he heard from inside the case. The Rotom Phone zipped around apparently looking for something. Three somethings to be precise, but the enemy was already onto him.
“No, don’t you dare try to escape Experiment 601807!”
“A Rotom Phone,” the human closest to me yelled, “you’re hunting us down because of a freaking PHONE!?!”
“Excuze me, *BTZZZ* but I am not Juzt a phone….,” I looked down at my body, “Okay, so maybe I look like one, bu-*TZZZ* We don’t have time for thiz.”
I zipped own to the human’s belt, “We must save the Professor.” I released the connectors to wrap it’s way around his waist before handing him. Naturally he was rather confused by his new accessory. I zipped down and as best as I could pointed out the red JAX Drive Key on the ground.
“Quickly human,” I shouted, “push the button and stick thiz key into me.”
“This thing,” Beans asked as he pick up the drive. Though in his eyes, it looked like a thick Cinderace themed Flashdrive with a big button on it.
“Yes, now hurry.”
The human complied by pushing the button. This prompted the drive to flip out a metalic key and state “Kick Style”.
“No, you don’t,” the Snorlax creature ate another fruit before trying to summon yet another Max Strike.
I zipped down to attach myself to the belt and activated my “Protect” function. (Really it’s just a Max Guard that I can only activate once per day as it takes a lot of power to do so without becoming Dynamaxed myself. Which I can’t do in this body.) Luckily, it was just enough to stop that attack. Beans was shocked by this.
“I can’t block the next attack,” I explained to my very confused partner, “*BTZZZ*Stick it in me, yell Henshin *BTZZZ*and flip the handle up like it’z a switch. *BTZZZ*Now.”
“Alright,” Beans stuck the JAX Drive Key in which gave me a great amount of power… Though I did not expect there to be…. music. None of us did.
“Poe-kay Ride. Pa-pa-pa-PoeKayRyeDur!
Poe-kay Ride. Pa-pa-pa-PoeKayRyeDur!
Poe-kay Ride. Pa-pa-pa-PoeKayRyeDur!”“I am… risking my life…,” Beans was understandably angry, “for a weirdo Music Player!?!”
“Just say Henshin*BTZZZ*,” I buzzed, I was embarrassed enough for the both of us.
“Henshin!” Beans flipped the non-metalic half of the key upwards, locking it into place. I released my light of Transformation. The Scientists that worked on me would call it Evolution, but in reality it was more akin to the power of a Ditto than the Evolution of Slowpoke or Slowking. My body was designed to take all of the power and information stored on the Drive Key to infuse it into the human wearing my belt.
Kick them into space!
A PokéRider’s Ace! When the light faded, the figure standing before everyone was no longer Beans Jappin, but the newest PokéRider, I proudly announced after that final silly jingle, “PokéRider JAX, Kick Style!”
“Whoa, I feel so much stronger,” Beans checked out the armor of his new body,“Okay, this is super weird.”
“Conzentrate on the battle!*BTZZZ*”
“Wait, what!?!”
The Dynotious ate yet another fruit that seemed to have grown from his body before launching another Max Strike. Luckily, Beans’ natural reflexes kicked in (no pun intended). He leaped a bit higher and further than he thought he would. This is because in order to help him dodge I accessed the move Bounce without telling him. Even so, he recovered rather quickly. The moment he noticed that he was about to hit a building he backflipped so that he could land feet first into the wall. Then sprang back out towards our enemy.with “Flame Charge!”
The Dynoxious blocked the first attack, but he was too slow to stop JAX from landing a few more blows. I, of course, didn’t have to give him any instruction on how to fight. Although, he was understandably shocked when his kick turned into a “Double Kick!” This knocked Patrick back a half a foot.
“How am I doing this,” JAX asked me as he had a moment to breath.
“Project Gi.A.C.S. allowtz my wearer to aczetz the Powerzzz of Pokémon*BTZZZ*,” I explained, “in thiz caze, Cinderace.*BTZZZ*”
Patrick tried to move to strike JAX down, but since he wasn’t using a move, his attack was easily dodged.
“So I can do things like Double Kick?”
I buzzed as I acknowledged the command, making him do a succession of kicks into open space Yes, I realize he didn’t actually want to perform the move, but I cannot resist my programing.
“Yeztz. And they are all voizte activated.”
“Cool,” JAX stated before dodging yet another attack from the Snorlax creature, this time a proper Max Strike. Unfortunately this one had hit its target. JAX hadn’t taken the full hit, but it still hurt.
During this whole ordeal, I spent my time analyzing the enemy Dynoxious. It is in my also programing after all.
“That’s strange,” I commented.
“Getting hit?”
“Hitz attackz.”
“Oh and the transforming into a Pokémon man isn’t.”
“Fair enough,” I buzzed, “bu a Dynoxiouz workz itz a double-edged sword. *Btzz*Bezt I can describe it. *Btzz* Think of it like how a normal Pokémon equipped with a Life Orb would perform. *Btzz* Strong attackz for the pritze of low Stamina. *Btzz* He should have fainted by now on hiz own from all these Max Strikes.”
“Max Strike? Oh, I think that I know why,” JAX smirked before charging directly at his opponent, now with a clear target in mind, “Blaze Kick!”
The Snorlax tried to dodge, but JAX wasn’t aiming for him, but rather his fruit and tree.
“No,” the Dynoxious panicked. Partly because his natural instincts made him absolutely hate loosing his food supply. The other part was that JAX managed to figure out how he managed to keep on his feet for so long. He tried to stop drop and roll to put out the flames, but it was too late. Fruit can’t grow on burnt branches and it wasn’t like the tree was an actual part of his body.
Gigantmax Snorlax can’t use Max Strike,” JAX explained to me, “because all Normal Moves would turn into a move called G-Max Refresh instead. It’s similar to Max Strike, but it also restores held Berries.”
That’s when I realized the fruit that he was growing were Sitrus Berries. Without them, he’d faint for sure.
“Oh*BTZZZ* I can’t believe that I made such an error. Great job,*Btzz* He’s going to be losing energy now,” I congratulated, “*Btzz* but we must finish him off before he tries something*Btzz* more drastic.”
“Okay, how do we do that?”
“*Btzz* Press my face.”
“Seriously?”
“*Btzz*, it’ll activate your final attack,” I explained, “*Btzz*but you’ll only have one shot. *Btzz* So don’t miss.”
“Alright,” JAX shrugged before doing as he was instructed.
“*Btzz*RIDEZ UHP!”
JAX performed a low kick around where he was standing summoning a ring of fire, followed by a tower of fire that launched us into the air. JAX was surprised at first as his body seemed to be moving all on it’s own. Which it wasn’t. It was moving at my command for the first part. JAX seemed to understand exactly how this attack sequence was going to work too. Once the tower reached its peak height, he flipped and drew in all of that fire energy into a single red ball. To which, he kicked straight into and continued his decent straight into the enemy.
“Pyro Ball*Btzz* Im-pact!”
The Snorlax Dynoxious tried to resist, but it was all in vain. The flaming body of JAX’s Kick Style Attack crashed right through and meager defenses that he had put up. This resulted in a Dynamax style explosion. The Rotox infecting him crashed, releasing the Rotom inside and breaking the Infected Key into useless scrap.
Now that we were out of energy, I powered down myself. This meant that I couldn’t witness as Beans Transformed back into his normal human form and collapsed himself. Leaving us at the mercy of Harper Collins to decide what to do for her saviors and father.
