~It's been quite a few years since the tragedy befell our kingdom, since the crown was overthrown and usurped by a gang of thieves and hooligans. The entire kingdom was sent into poverty and chaos, and now, we live in a time where Pokemon fight just to survive, and we don't fight with things like moves and all that fancy stuff anymore, instead, we fight with swords like warriors. It was a strange adaptation, hearing about Pokemon that had abilities like Synchronize in the past, now just to be replaced with the ability to summon an elemental armor and weapon. Though perhaps the only downside to this is that since we're basically conjuring up our armor and weaponry, it'll naturally take a lot of energy, and once you start tiring out, even if you haven't taken damage, your armor and weapon fade. Those with higher stamina are capable of using their ability for extended periods of time of course~

I woke up early as usual, looking around the empty field I fell asleep in, "Good.. No one's around.." I said to myself.

~My name's Watt, and I'm just your average Pichu, though I'm actually older than other Pokemon think. I haven't evolved yet, because lets face it, who could be happy in a world like this? Especially since my village was burnt down, and I was separated from my best friend.~

I continued to walk through the empty field, thinking about the days where I really had fun, drifting off into a daydream as I walked..

"Aren't you a little far away from home kiddie?" A voice mockingly asks me, though it seemed it came from nowhere.

I suddenly had a strange feeling in my gut, you know, the one that warns you that something bad is headed your way, so I jumped back, just so see a Pokemon emerge from the ground beneath me, already in its armor with its sword drawn.

"I see it now, too cowardly to face me in a duel like a real Pokemon, so you need to pull some sneaky tricks?" I say in a taunting voice. As the dust cleared up, I donned my armor and summoned my sword, soon coming to find that my opponent was a Sandshrew.

"Ahh, so it's a duel you desire? Be my guest! I'll be more than happy to hack you to bits!" He shouted out, "Then after that, I'll take your precious belongings and sell them for as much as I can!"

~That statement may sound quite hostile, but in the society we have now, it's considered normal to encounter something like this~

We stood at our preferable battle stances, both donned in armor of our respective type, and I thought to myself, "I won't be able to put a dent in his armor.. Not with the type disadvantage I'm facing.."

He charged at me, a battle-cry erupting from his vocal cords as his sword made contact with mine. In any normal fight, I could have held my ground, but being at a disadvantage, I was knocked back quite a bit.

"What's the matter? Did you forget that Electric Types can't scratch Ground?" He grinned as he said this, knowing he could easily slice me in half if he had the chance.

I growled at his remark, already knowing I couldn't harm him, trying to think of a way to best him. Then my gaze turned towards my fallen rucksack laying in the dirt, smiling to myself.

"Come at me then if you think you're so tough!" I shouted out.

"You're just asking to get your ass chopped up now aren't you!" He yelled as he charged towards me.

He swung his sword in my direction as he ran, just like I hoped he would. I was able to dodge off to the side, and rushed over to my bag, sifting through it before he could catch me. Only moments later, I had to jump aside to avoid another assault from the Sandshrew.

"Now you're just pissing me off boy! Quit running and fight me!" He yelled.

~Now I just have to say, the one thing I love about Electric Type armor is the fact it increases our speed when we need it. We aren't the only type with a hidden ability in our armor, all types have a hidden ability, though using them eats up a lot of our energy~

He started charging at me, aiming to make another swing at me.

"HIDDEN ABILITY: LIGHTNING SPEED!" I yelled out, suddenly vanishing, only to reappear behind him. "What's the matter, can't hit me?" I teased, narrowly avoiding another attack by dashing to the side, appearing on his right.

"So you needed to use your hidden ability just to outrun me? Don't think this will help you any!" He smirked, knowing this would drain my energy quicker.

He hacked and slashed all around himself, trying to strike me as I seemingly teleported around him with incredible speed. This happened for only a few minutes however, before he started to lose his temper.

"ENOUGH!" His voice boomed out, "It's time I end this once and for all boy!"

I jumped back a decent distance, preparing myself for whatever he had in store, smirking at him tauntingly.

"Oh you think this is fucking funny!?" He yelled, obviously pissed off, "Let's see how you like this!"

"HIDDEN ABILITY: EARTH TREMOR!" He yelled out, slamming his blade into the ground, laughing maniacally as his special attack shook the ground.

I braced myself as I felt the ground beneath me suddenly quake beneath me, gasping as I took the hit.

He laughed as he heard the attack hit me, but his joyous mood soon turned sour as the dust settled, and he saw my silhouette still standing.

"How the hell are you still standing!?" He yelled out, in utter shock, expecting me to be laying dead on the ground.

"Shuca berry.. Weakens a Super Effective Ground Type attack.." I said with a smile, watching as his armor and sword slowly faded away.

"D-Damn it!" He exclaimed, falling to a knee as his armor faded, "How can it end like this!?"

"Simple.." I said, smirking in such a mocking manner that still pissed him off, "You were unprepared, and lacked fitness to win this fight.." In a swift moment, using the last bit of energy, I flew towards him with my enhanced speed, driving my sword through his heart. "And now you suffer the consequences..."

He choked slightly, gasping as he felt his life slowly drain from his body, my sword and armor vanishing due to my lack of energy now. As my sword vanishes from his wound, blood started to gush out.

"Fighting.. Isn't for the faint of heart.." I drop to a knee, laughing slightly at my awful pun.

After some time had passed, I got back up, grabbing my rucksack, and continued through the fields, heading towards a nearby city.

~I didn't feel bad about what had happened in that field, because in the society we had, it was kill or be killed. The weak were the ones to perish, and in that fight, Sandshrew was dubbed the weaker party. My current destination grew closer, but what would happen when I got there, was anyone's guess.~
