I am a Gallade. My name is Soul, and I along with my wife, a Gardevoir named Alex, are eagerly awaiting our battle that we trained together our entire lives for. If only we knew what we were getting ourselves into. I heard the muffled sounds of a crowd cheering and a loud familiar voice of our trainer

"Gallade, Gardevoir I choose you, GO!"

I felt the sensation of flying and instantly, in a flash of light we sprung out of our pokeballs. All around us were screaming people ready to see a fight. I looked at the opponents a Blaziken and an Onix. And this is where our story begins.

"Alex, are you ready?"

"Yes Soul, but I'm nervous"

"Don't be, I'll protect you"

"Ok"

Alex wasn't much of a fighter but she was more powerful than she gave herself credit for. Just as she said that I heard a command "Blaziken use flamethrower!" I looked over and saw a huge stream of fire barreling towered Alex.

"Alex MOVE!"

She turned her head and her eyes widened. She launched herself into the air just in time to dodge the blast.

"So that's how you want to play?" I mumbled under my breath. I started running at the Blaziken with full force. I heard a gasp of shock from almost everyone in the stadium

"What?" I thought "We have a mind of our own too you know."

The Blaziken was preparing for the hit when I launched myself into the air, as the blazikin looked up Alex was right behind me to lay a devastating blow on Blaziken. I landed onto the Onix's head and started to smash its face without the thought of stopping. Unfortunately its thrashing shook me off and I hit the ground with a deafening thud. As I was struggling to catch my breath the Onix grabbed my foot with his tail and hung me upside down in front of him. His vile breath smacked me in the face. He started to swing me around

"Oh $ #&" I said aloud.

He let me go.

I saw my life flash before my eyes. I was heading toward the wall at a speed that I didn't want to think about. Just as my head was about to make contact I stopped. So suddenly that I was confused for a second but then I saw the Blaziken knocked out on the floor and Alex with an arm extended toward me

"Of course" I thought "she used physic to save me!"

I landed on my feet but before I could say thank you,

I screamed "WATCH OUT"

She tried to dive out of the way but Onix's tail was too fast and struck her legs and I heard a sickening 'crunch' and a blood curdling scream.
