(Lightning's P.O.V)

I felt the cold ice from the Aurora Beam touch my skin. I felt weak but knew I couldn't give up. I used Slam on the Spheal. It hit the ground head first.

"You need to use more force on your moves, Lightning,"my dad said,"if you wanna win that tournament then you have to do better than that." Dad was pushing me to do my best because he was the champion of the Kalos Picachu Tournament. He wants me to win this year but im not certain i will.

"But Dad, I've been training all day."

"Ok, you can stop training for the day but we start again first thing in the morning." I agreed and went to sleep in my new bedroom.

We just moved into the east side
of the forest. I liked where we were before. But my dad thought it would be safer for us here.

When I woke up I ate some berries and went straight to training outside. I saw Dad talking to another picachu. He introduced me to him.

Lightning, this is Pete, our new neighbor. He will be training with you from now on."

When I heard this my heart sank. I kinda felt better when I realized that he was my same age. I'm not one of those friendly picachu who get along with everyone. I like my own space and stuff with nobody bothering me. So this was gonna be tough.

"So you wanna battle or what," I said to him.

"Sorry, I came here to train not to hit a practice dummy."

I almost exploded with anger.

"Oh we'll see who's the better Pokémon over a battle if you're not scared."

"It's on, yellow bunny."

That was it, Pete is officially going to get buried in the ground.

I made the first move by using Thunder Shock. He looked in pain but still stood on his feet. He used Electro Ball. It hit me in the stomach. I flung to the ground in pain.

Pete yelled across,"give up?" I gave no response. I quickly got up and did thunder wave. He became paralyzed.
I gave him some Lum Berry that I've saved for an emergency. Before I gave it to him, I did my happy dance in front of his stupid face.

"I won and you didn't. Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Uh-huh." I loved bragging and seeing the look on his face.

After I gave him the Lum Berry, he came up to me.

"Sorry about earlier. I just wanted to make some friends. Can we just forget about that?"

I felt unwilling to accept his apology but he has no friends. I pause for a moment to think.

"Fine. But on one condition."

"What,"he asked a little scared.

The next morning, I sat outside on a lounge chair. Pete came up to me with a tray of berries.

With a bad look on his face he said,"may I offer you some rabuta berries?"

I laughed so hard. He looked at me like he was gonna kill me. I think this was a start of a long and painful relationship.

Hope you enjoyed! Feel free to add some comments or suggestive tips.
