CHAPTER 2

"Return electabuzz" the words seemed wrong on my lips. Once he returned I knew who I would chose. Her last pokemon was cherrim and was sure to use sunny day as soon as possible so I immediately chose arcanine. I had been right the first thing she did was use sunny day. It didn't take long only a simple command of a heat wave and once the wave of heat reached Gardenia's pokemon cherrim was out.

When she handed me the forest badge and said "it has been a little while since I've had a challenger like you, thanks." I felt strong but I knew it wouldn't last. This was only one battle of many to come. When I exited the gym I headed straight to my house. My mother must have been worried sick about me. But I was stopped in front of the pokemon center by a middle-aged lady with red hair and a white coat on. "hello," she said, "how is your day. I would like to tell you that there is a special challenge for trainers and their pokemon. The winner wins a gym badge and a special surprise." I was interested I had battled almost no trainers my whole trip to newbark and back. I also had seven gym badges. "what are the rules?" I asked.

"I don't know but if you want to know more just go inside and ask Wallace." so I entered and found the hoenn championship holder and asked what the tournament was, where it was, and when it was. He told me "Why it's right here right now. The rules are simple a one-on-one battle no time limit" suddenly the center split in two and a field came up between Wallace and I. the field was filled with water and mud. "I chose you mantine." he screamed while he threw the ball into the air. When the red beam hit the water I knew what to do. "Go electabuzz, use thunder punch on that pool of water and dive in." Wallace seemed shocked as if he had had no clue of electabuzz's ability. Mantine seemed to know what to do and immediately jumped out of the water but it was too late the mix of the attack and static had paralyzed the pokemon. In the air the pokemon lost it's glide and fell into the water. The final volts of electricity seemed to jump straight to the pokemon. Event mantine was water and flying the pokemon seemed untouched except it's paralysis. Unfortunately, now electabuzz was underwater. "Mantine use whirlpool to keep him down then use hydro pump."

"Okay electabuzz wait for the hydro pump and use a thunderbolt." So right on time electabuzz used thunderbolt but it bounced off the whirlpool and hit electabuzz. It was too much he needed a breath. "Use wing attack mantine.

"electabuzz jump on top of it and push towards the surface." he tried to do as I said but he was so tired he had to swim some to get there. Once on the surface, he got straight onto his platform. "aerial ace mantine." As the pokemon flew towards us I had an idea. "electabuzz finish it off with a thunder." The thunder hit mantine the second he hit electabuzz. They both flew against the wall and fell but mantine looked seriously damaged. Wallace's pokemon just lay there exhausted while electabuzz unsteadily stood up. Somewhere in the crowd that had been watching this whole time a young woman yelled "electabuzz is the winner." The crowd cheered as I withdrew electabuzz. I waited a moment when suddenly I'd realized I had just defeated the hoenn champion. Suddenly I remembered what the woman at the door had said and asked what the surprise was. "Check your belt," he answered." For a second time there was an unknown pokeball on my belt. I released the pokemon and out came a seadra but oddly it had one scale that didn't match the others and, it started to glow. Once again it started to evolve. I flipped open my pokedex to learn kingdra's attacks when suddenly all of the pokeballs in the coliseum opened up and let the pokemon free. It seemed as if the only pokemon that were calm were the fully evolved ones like: a togekiss, my kingdra, Wallace's mantine, and my arcanine. Suddenly a giant tube started sucking up all the pokemon. Suddenly all the trainers started recalling their pokemon back to their balls. But it was too late whoever they were, had gotten what they had wanted. The robot left.
