Doctor Doom whipped out his Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon, apparently named Articuno, in front of him.
“Articuno, the legendary ice Pokemon. It must like to have its food frozen before it eats it because it is sad that it Is capable of creating a blizzard at a moment’s notice. Be wary, this one can probably kick your ass too.”
Doom was not pleased with his Pokedex’s opinion.
“You have a knack for capturing Pokemon above your station Richards. No matter, this time I am prepared. Go, Thor!” Doom tossed his Pokeball and Thor the Pikachu raced out of it and growled beside his master.
Richards snorted. “You would fight a legendary with something that has not even evolved to meet its maximum potential yet, Victor? I see your time in the Pokemon World has not done you any service. Your plots end here! Articuno! Ice Beam!”
“Dodge.” At Doom’s command Thor flashed out of the way of the ice beam which left the grass where Thor had been standing frozen solid.
Articuno’s repeated use of Ice Beam came with the same result of Thor dodging them.
Doom smirked at his rival.
“Can you feel it, Richards? The heavens themselves cry at how pathetic your legendary is!” As he spoke Doom coaxed the clouds above into action, and after a moment a light drizzle started to pour down, which was quickly intensifying.
Richards’ eyes narrowed at the sudden rainstorm. He had not seen Victor use any of his magic, but he was sure that he had.
Before Richards could chastise his rival, lightning struck.
Well, technically speaking it would be thunder struck.
“Thor! Bring down the hammer. Thunder!”
Thor charged up for only a moment before a crack of thunder could be heard overhead as a massive lightning bolt zipped down from the heavens and struck Articuno. The bird screeched in agony as Thor did not relent on the attack for several seconds. Finally, most of his energy spent, Thor stopped his attack and panted slightly.
Doom was pleased with the sight before him.
Articuno had scorch marks all over its body as it weakly hovered a few feet above the ground. Every time the bird tried to suck in air there was a terrible wheezing sound from its chest.
“It appears your new friend is… on ice,” Doom said maliciously.
Richards smiled at the comment.
Doom frowned, because smiles were to be frowned upon.
“Show Victor Von Doom that legends last forever, Articuno! Blizzard!
A moment before where there had been a downpour, there was now a maelstrom of snow and ice in its place and the scorch marks on Articuno were vanishing under the intensity of the storm.
Doom tilted his head upward slightly as a sign of respect towards the Articuno.
Doom likes a challenge!
