I do not own anything that Gamefreak claims as theirs, including pokemon. In fact, i've bought nearly every game version of pokemon so far (as well as White version). So yeah, i'm a big poke-nerd. I'm ranting now...read story please.

"Rex Sauros, a fun loving laid back trainer, but a very powerful one as well, has challenged the Elite Four and defeated them one by one." The announcer shouted into his microphone. Rex stood on the challenger's side of the arena. He was dressed in a black t-shirt, and black jeans, and green converse looking shoes. He wore an olive green trench coat. A single thick black stripe ran down either side of the coat and then transitioned to the coattails. His black hair spiked forward and to the right, which covered his right eye. "He now stands face to face with the toughest Champion of all the regions: Cynthia!"

"I've been watching you for a while now Rex. I look forward to this battle." Cynthia said, posing herself for combat.

"Let's get started." Rex's tone was completely serious.

"As you wish. Milotic, come on out!" The Champion tossed her pokeball into the air. Milotic emerged onto the field in a glimmer of watery spray.

"Emboar, show them your power." Rex released the fire pig from its pokeball.

"Emboar, Em!" The pokemon shouted.

"Apparently the challenger has chosen a fire type pokemon. Seems almost to be a rookie mistake." The announcer stated.

"This will be interesting." Cynthia said, a smirk crossing her lips. "Milotic, Hydro Pump." A blast of water shot towards Emboar.

"Emboar, Flamethrower."

"Em…BOAR!" The Flamethrower collided with Hydro Pump and began to evaporate the water into steam. An explosion resulted from the force of the moves.

"Another Hydro Pump, go!" The serpent powered up another water blast.

"Quick, Emboar Flare Blitz." Emboar used its flaming beard to coat itself in purple flames of extreme heat. Milotic finished charging its Hydro Pump and shot it at the fire pig. "Hold your ground, Emboar." The fire type braced for impact. The Hydro Pump never reached Emboar. Halfway across the field it evaporated into nothingness, not even steam.

"Ladies and gents, Emboar is using its Flare Blitz to stop Hydro Pump cold, or should I say, hot!" The announcer yelled.

"Impressive. But let's how you handle this. Milotic, take it up a notch to Hydro Cannon." Milotic blasted Emboar, completely dousing out his flames and knocking him to Rex's feet.

"Whoa! Emboar, you okay?"

"Boar." The fire pig nodded in response as it rose to its feet.

"I expect nothing less from your pokemon Rex. You've trained them well." Cynthia smiled. "Hydro Cannon, now."

"Flare Blitz, full power!" Again Emboar coated itself in purple flames, but this time the heat was so intense everyone in the stadium could feel the warmth. "Now brace yourself." Emboar took a stance as he let the cannon of water smash into him. However, the fire pig was perfectly undisturbed. Hydro Cannon was dissipating on contact with the flames. "Make your way to Milotic so you can tell her good-bye personally." Emboar started walking into the water torrent, slowly defeating the Hydro Cannon with each step it took.

"What! This Emboar's tougher than I thought. Full power, Milotic." Milotic gave her Hydro Cannon everything she had, and Emboar began to lose ground.

"Combine your Flare Blitz with Overheat. Use Heat Flare Emboar!"

"EmmmmBOOOAAAARRRR!" Not only did the audience feel warm, they felt like they were melting. Even Cynthia covered her face. The only person who seemed unaffected was Rex himself.

"Now, Emboar, run through that water straight towards Milotic." Emboar took off faster than anyone had expected a pokemon so large could do. In a blink the fire pig was upon the serpent which caused Milotic to lose control of its attack and stop to recover. "Head Smash." The pig jumped into the air while still coated in flames and launched head first into Milotic's head. The crash sent the water serpent flying behind Cynthia completely K.O.'d. Emboar landed back down in front of Rex. After recovering from the terrible recoil, the pokemon let loose a victory roar of spouting flames.

"WOW! And Milotic is unable to battle." The referee said in surprise.

"Good job, Milotic. Return."

"Beyond expectations, Emboar. Take a rest." Both trainers returned their first pokemon of the battle to their pokeballs.

Cynthia laughed loudly, then said, "I see you like to balance your pokemon's defense and attack. In Emboar's case, by using its extremely high attacks as a tool for defense. Most superb." Cynthia ceased her laughter and her placid stare returned to her face. "Join the battle, Aggron." Cynthia tossed her ball into the air again and released her pokemon to the field.

"Aggron!"

"Gyarados, show them your power." Rex's water serpent emerged from its netball in shining bright and glorious.

"It appears the challenger, Rex, has a shiny Gyarados. Just look at those red scales gleam!" The announcer yelled.

"An Aggron, huh?" Rex said in a deadly serious tone. But then his tone changed to that of a kid in a candy shop."How awesome! So cooool! I have one too! Except mine is freshly evolved and…" Rex ranted on while making excessive movements to explain what he was saying. Cynthia stared in amazement at how such a strong trainer could act so childish. She looked over towards his Gyarados and saw the pokemon shake its head, almost as if this was a constant thing that occurred to it. She then looked towards her Aggron which returned its trainers confused look.

"Aren't we having a battle here?" Cynthia called out to Rex, whom froze in an awkward pose.

"Oh, yeah. That's right." Rex returned to his deadly serious tone. "Let's finish this with one move, Gyarados." The pokemon roared in response.

"Brace yourself, Aggron."

"Rise and Surf, Gyarados!" Rex shouted. Suddenly a tidal wave appeared behind Gyarados that rose taller than the stadium. The water serpent rode the immense wave on its crest until it crashed into Aggron. Cynthia closed her eyes and prepared to be hit by millions of gallons of water. Nothing happened. She opened her eyes to see the water pass harmlessly over her head while it carried her Aggron and crushed it into the stadium wall. Rex's shiny Gyarados came crashing down in front of Cynthia, perfectly poised after riding its own personal tidal wave. Like the Emboar before, Gyarados roared in victory at the one-hit K.O. it had dished out.

"Aggron is unable to battle." The referee stated with a dropped jaw.

"By the deities of time and space, another one-hit K.O. by the challenger." The announcer screamed in excitement. "Makes sense, seeing how that's the biggest Surf I've ever seen."

"Sorry, Aggron. You'll get them next time. Return."

"Perfection, Gyarados. Return." Rex laughed. "That's probably the second strongest Surf I've seen her use. My team seems determined to win this league."

"Hmmm, you're an odd one, Rex. I can't quite pinpoint your attack style." Cynthia said slightly excited.

"But that's what the first two pokemon are for; to determine a trainer's battle style." Rex said, returning to his deadly serious tone. "Interestingly enough though, you're the only champion I've fought that doesn't give their style in your first two pokemon. Especially seeing how you let me K.O. your Aggron on purpose to try and determine my battle style."

"Hmmm, you knew, huh? You're much better than I first expected. And now I see you don't have a particular style, rather, you have a different technique for each pokemon you use."

Rex's facial features grew stern, "You're the first person to actually see that I do that."

"Yes, and if I'm right, I suspect you tried to throw me off by using the type moves of your pokemon so I would believe your techniques cater to your pokemon's type, when in reality you train them by how their personality reflects their power."

"WHAT? You…you…you- How did you figure that out!" Rex pointed an accusing finger at the clever Champion.

"You almost had me until I realized that your Emboar used Head Smash instead of a fighting move like Brick Break. That clued me to that you chose that attack because your Emboar is so prideful of its strength, which it displayed when it spouted fire in triumph over a water type. Same with your Gyarados. You chose the attack Surf because your Gyarados takes pride in its beauty. Gyarados's physical attack is usually stronger than its special attack, but using a move like Waterfall is not as pretty as Surf. She showed that when she landed in front of me with a perfect pose already planned out for when she uses Surf." A huge smile came across Cynthia's face. "Since you train by personality, there is no way of me knowing which attacks your pokemon are best with. I can't go by typical stats. You are going to be a really fun trainer to battle!" Cynthia nearly squealed with girlish joy, but immediately recomposed herself.

"Wow…I can't believe…you figured…all of it out." Rex looked as if he was about to burst out into anger.

"Impressed?" Cynthia asked slyly.

"YOU'RE SO AWSOME." Rex shouted and jumped around.

"Huh?"

"You figured out all of that from just two pokemon! Strong, sexy, and clever! Such an epic combination!" Rex seemed to be geeking out over Cynthia.

"Excuse me?" Cynthia asked with her hands on her hips, and a little more than thrown off by the challenger's compliment. She had a furious blush across her face. Cynthia was angry, but she was more so flattered.

"Uuhhh. Nothing. Let's continue the battle." Rex said while rubbing the back of his head with his hand and holding a duskball in the other.

"Yeah…let's." The Champion said a little coldly. She threw a pokeball into the air to reveal her Lucario ready for battle.

"I see you actually plan to take this round seriously." Rex said in his deadly serious tone. "So I should quit playing around as well." Rex threw his duskball into the middle of his side of the field and released a Haxorus. "Haxorus, show them your power." Haxorus let loose a ground shaking battle cry.

"Now this is going to be fun." Cynthia's exposed eye sparkled with anticipation.

This is my first romance fic. I wanted to try making one, but i kinda wanted to emphasize the Infinite League. I'd appreciate who ever read this would comment on anything they would like to see between Rex(OC)/Cynthia, or anything i could improve on. Thank You!
