Drapion recalled being a Skorupi. In fact, only a few months passed since she evolved. Even so Drapion is working to become a Champion Fighter. As a Skorupi, she seen many...
Flashback*
Skorupi stood up to see the battle between Electabuzz and Magmar. It was intense. Lots of other Pokemon went to watch, including Skorupi's friend Ducklett and Nincada.
"It's quite cool to watch champs like them. I wanna become one," Skorupi had said.
Magmar blasted Electabuzz with a Flamethrower, and Electabuzz got right back with a Thunder Punch. Skorupi watched with awe...
Present Time
Drapion sighed. The two she'd watched evolved into Electavire and Magmortar. Stronger, still. Her friend Swanna didn't want to become a fighter. But Nincada wanted to become a ninja. Well he's a Ninjask now, and part of the Secret Stars, a ninja cooperation. It includes a Greninja, a Sceptile and a Sawk.
"I won't be a ninja. I want to become a FIGHTER. And I will..." Drapion said. So she trained everyday, every night. Fighting her dummy, blasting rocks. It was tiring, but worth it. Kinda.
One day, a Scyther visited Drapion.
"Wondering If you wanna battle. I do. I never fought a Dark type before." He asked.
Drapion shrugged. "Sure, I guess." So the battle was on.
Scyther attacked with X Scissor, landing a direct (but ineffective) move.
Drapion counterattacked with Cross Poison, but missed. She didn't like where this battle was heading. Drapion isn't a fast Pokemon in general, so it was hard to dodge attacks. Scyther got another few hits with Fury Cutter.
Drapion grunted, and fired a Pin Missle. They got their mark.
"You...are pretty strong..I have to say.." Scyther said. Drapion nodded.
"You are not too bad yourself. Thank you for the battle."
After, Scyther departed. Drapion was left thinking what to do, really. It was gloomy living in the marshes. And stinky, too, but Drapion got used to that.
A while later, Magmortar had walked into the forest, Pokemon surrounding him, asking for a battle. But none defeated him, not even the water types. Drapion saw her chance and rushed there.
"I wanna have a battle with you."
Some gasped in amazement. But drapion's size did look like it can take on a large Magmortar.
"You're on." Magmortar growled, getting ready. So did Drapion. A Mimikyu was the judge.
Soon, they fought. Drapion attacked with Hyper Beam, a rather powerful move. Magmortar stopped it with Flamethrower. "That's all ya got?" He sneered, launching a Fire Punch.
Drapion shot a Cross Poison, but the Fire Punch got right through.
"Arghhh!" Drapion cried in pain. Magmortar sure is strong. Drapion shot a Pin Missle, and a FireSpin countered it. Drapion couldn't get a hit in.
She tried Poison Tail. Magmortar grabbed it and slammed Drapion onto the ground. Mimikyu cringed.
"Ouch," he muttered.
Why did I do this?! Drapion thought, gnashing her fangs. She was distracted and a Fire Spin blasted her right-on. Drapion was heavily burnt and Magmortar had not one scratch.
"Give up?" Magmortar asked. Drapion struggled to rise, but the fiery champion pinned her down.
"Consider this my win, Judge! Once again, I win!" Cheers echoed through the forest. But admist the crowd, Drapion swore she saw Swanna and Ninjask, their faces worried.
