Author's Note: Hi-hi! I like to update as soon as I can, so here it is! Chapter 2! R&R! I do not own Pokemon!

Chapter Two

The next morning, Kitsune woke up feeling stiff. Instantly, the thoughts of yesterday came rushing back into her mind.

I should've at least said goodbye, she thought, thinking about her heartbroken parents. But I can't go back. Well, not yet at least.

Kitsune stood up from where she had been sleeping, only then realizing it was still wet from tears.

Wow. I must have cried a lot. Which reminds me, I need all the time I can train, if I want to be invincible. Better start now.

Kitsune walked a few feet away from the closest tree. Then, she shot glowing red embers at the tree, scorching it. Good, she thought. But not good enough.

Then, Kitsune got an idea. Focusing her energy on how mad she had been at Crimson, she shot flaming hot embers at the tree. The heat was so intense; it burned the tree in half.

That's more like it.

Kitsune kept on practicing. By the end of the day she had learned Lava Plume and Overheat. And even though she was proud of herself, she couldn't help but think, even if I learn all the fire attacks, it won't be enough to beat him. After all Crimson is really strong, and because of our ability Flash Fire, it couldn't defeat him.

Then, all of a sudden there was a rustling in the bushes.

"Who's there?" Kitsune asked, getting into her battle position.

"I could ask you the same question," a high-pitched, feminine voice giggled. A beautiful Glaceon stepped out from where she was.

"My name is Kitsune. You're not going to hurt me, are you?" Kitsune asked, cautiously stepping back.

"Of course not, silly! By the way, you can call me Cyan," she giggled, then added, "So you're training?"

"Yeah. So what if I am?" Kitsune asked.

"I'm not insulting you or anything. Besides, I'm on an adventure to become the world's most powerful Pokemon."

"Cool. I guess you could say I wanted to be the most powerful Pokemon… but I really only want to defeat this rude Vulpix I knew before I ran away. And I want to prove to him I'm not just a spoiled and stuck-up alpha."

Cyan looked amazed. "You're an alpha? That's so cool! And you're a Vulpix, so that means you're the next alpha of the Shenikari Clan, am I correct?"

"Yeah… though I doubt I'll ever go back until I get really strong. And even then, I will probably refuse to become the next alpha."

"Oh."

"Anyway, I have to get back to training," Kitsune said. Cyan's jaw dropped as she watched Kitsune perform an Overheat of glittering goldish-orange flames. It burned the tree in half.

"Wow! That's strong. So, do you mind if I… you know… battle you?" Cyan asked.

"Battle? Sure! But doesn't it bother you that I have the type advantage?"

"Not at all! That's what makes it more interesting! Besides, I have a few tricks up my sleeves," Cyan said mischievously.

"Ok then, let the battle begin!" she announced. "Flare Blitz!" Kitsune cried, as she became engulfed in sparkly golden flames and tackled Cyan. Cyan looked hurt, but she didn't show it.

"Earthquake!" Cyan jumped on the ground, and the impact was so strong it split the earth. Kitsune looked dazed, but she soon snapped out of it.

"Overheat!" Kitsune cried.

"Discharge!" Cyan exclaimed. Both attacks collided at the same time, packing a huge explosion. Smoke churned around Cyan and Kitsune, but only one remained standing.

Author's Note: Yay! Cliffhanger! So, who will win? And what will happen? And yes, I know Glaceon can't learn Discharge. But this is my story, and the characters I use are special!
