I was awoken by someone opening the shades to my room and saying, "rise and shine sleepyhead!" I groaned and reluctantly opened my eyes to look at the clock. "What the hell Blaze? It's only 9:30." Blaze, the Blaziken, looked at me and said three words that made me instantly forgive him for waking me up so early. "I made waffles." I jumped up, pulled on a pair of jeans, and ran down the steps yelling, "WAFFLES!" When I made it to my kitchen I was not disappointed, I saw a plate piled with waffles on the table. I ran towards them only to watch as Blaze picked them up and held them over my head. I tried jumping for the plate but Blaze had a good 10 inches on me so I couldn't reach it. He looked at me and smiled, "You can't have waffles yet." I groaned, "Why not?" He tried not to laugh and said, "You didn't say please." I just looked at him. "Are you serious? You're holding my waffles hostage just because I didn't say please?" He nodded. I put up my hands in surrender. "Fine, can I please have my waffles?" He handed the plate of waffles to me but not before he stole one. "Hey!" Blaze just laughed and walked away saying, "I made 'em so I can eat 'em"
After I ate breakfast I got a shower and got changed into a clean pair of jeans and a AC/DC t-shirt. I was about to leave for the day but there was one problem. Blaze wasn't anywhere in sight. I walked to the bottom of the stairs and yelled, "BLAZE GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" I heard a muffled thump and a soft string of curses before Blaze opened the door to our room and walked out rubbing his head. "Are you okay?" I asked. He nodded and said, "Yea but you surprised me and I hit my head on one of your shelves." "Ouch" "Yea"
We were just laying in the middle of the park when I remembered something. "Hey Blaze, I heard that there is a tourtament type thing happening in town today. Wanna go?" Blaze sat up and shrugged. "I don't see why not. I haven't had a good battle in awhile so it might be fun." I jumped up and said, "Lets go! I'll race ya!"
Trying to race Blaze was a huge mistake. About halfway there I just gave up and sat down as I watched him literally run circles around me. He stopped and said "Lets just walk the rest of the way" I quickly agreed.
When we reached the town center I realized two things. 1. It wasn't a toutament it was a first person to defeat this certain trainer one on one wins a prize and 2. The prize was an all expense paid Ferry trip to the Johto region. I really wanted to win this. I turned to Blaze but before I could open my mouth he said, "Yes I want to do this. I've always wanted to visit the Johto region." I went to the guy running the thing and he signed me up and gave me a number. I was number 3. 'Must not be a lot of people up to the challenge' I thought. From watching the two battles before me I found out that the trainer had two very strong pokemon. He had a Steelix and a Venusaur. I smiled to myself 'This should actually be pretty easy. The only thing that kept others from winning is that the usually relied on a full pokemon team and not one pokemon' I thought 'Luckily I've only ever used Blaze so this should be fun.' Soon it was my turn to fight. The other trainer sent out his Steelix first. "Blaze use flamethrower!" I yelled the trainer quickly responded yelling "Steelix dodge and use tackle!" The Steelix was to bulky to dodge effectively so it charged through the fire at Blaze. I saw this coming and yelled "Blaze dodge and use sky uppercut!" Blaze gave a small nod and quickly sidestepped. Then as the Steelix turned around to face him Blaze got it right in the jaw with sky uppercut, sending the Steelix skidding along the ground on its back. When the dust cleared the Steelix was still on the ground, unconscious. The other trainer growled in frustration and returned the Steelix to its poke ball. "Go Venusaur!" He yelled. With that the second half of the battle started. After about five minutes of exchanged blows both the Venusaur and Blaze were looking a bit worse for wear. I knew that we only had one shot at ending this so I yelled, "Blaze finish him of with blast burn!" The other trainer sensing defeat yelled to his pokemon, "Venusaur dodge!" But since the Venusaur was tired he wasn't able to get out of the way of Blaze's attack quick enough and was hit head on by the attack. The other trainer returned his Venusaur to its poke ball. I walked over to him and said "Good battle, the name is Nikolai. Yours?" The other trainer didn't say anything back but instead he walked away grumbling something about a cheating Russian bastard. "Well that wasn't very sportsman like." I said to myself and Blaze. Blaze nodded. "Good job you won!" I looked over to where the voice was coming from and saw the guy that was signed me up earlier holding a ticket. He handed me the ticket and said, "Don't worry 'bout your friend here" He said while motioning to Blaze, "Pokemon get on for free. The boat leaves from the docks here tomorrow at 10 so don't be late." I shook his hand and said thanks. All I could do was look at the ticket. I couldn't believe it I was going to Johto!
A/N- Good? Bad? So-So? Lemme know what ya think!
