He sat there, watching the TV. The battle between Zoe and Dawn was epic. These two top trainers demonstrated incredible techniques. It was extraordinary, and it inspired him to become not only a league champion, but also a champion Pokémon co-ordinator, like his idol Nando.
They were both at the end of their game. Zoe had unleashed a shock wave boosted psycho cut from Gallade, and Dawn was using Togekiss to fly Piplup up to meet it, with its peck move so strong that it had grown to incredible lengths and was turning a deep shade of crimson. The two extraordinary moves met, and then a flash of light appeared. The clock ran out, and Zoe was the victor, by the slightest margin Jamie had ever seen in his afternoon he went out to train, and he sent out his first two Pokémon, the act that would ensure his getting through the first round of his first ever contest. He sent out Scyther and Torkoal.
"Now Scyther, jump on top of Torkoal! Now Torkoal use fires spin around Scyther, and straight up!"
Just like they had practiced, the spots on Torkoal's back began to grow a deep red, and then a massive spiral of flame burst from its back, surrounding Scyther.
"Now Scyther, Razor Wind!"
At the base of the spiral a white light began to grow, and then Scyther released the Razor Wind, creating flying discs of flame to surround the pillar. It was an awe inspiring sight, one they had spent countless hours working on.
" Now, Quick Attack to the top of the pillar, then use Wing Attack downwards to release the flames!"
Scyther leapt up, and you could see its figure at the very top. Then as it began to descend, the pillar was splitting into two columns, then disappearing after it had separated. Scyther was a white blur, parting the column, until it landed on top of Torkoal, and nothing remained but a few embers and a gust of wind that appeared when with the force of Scythers landing. They were ready.
