Chapter 3:
John smiled at the question. "Do you even need to ask? I'll be using Lotad of course!"
"Hey John, I don't think I have ever seen you battle with any other Pokémon than Lotad!" Fran commented "any way I'll be using my prized Sneasel!" With that a flash of light and suddenly her Sneasel was standing there with her. It crossed its arms as it walked along side the group. The three then looked a Kt.
"Err well I'm not sure who to use." She chewed the side of her lip. "Any way, Ben you haven't said who you will use!" Now the group looked at Ben.
"Wha! Aw come on I asked you guys first!" He protested. "Fine I was going to use Riolu." 'Aww' came a voice. "Since I used Growlith last year for the one on ones." Ben continued ignoring Growliths disappointment.
"Hey apparently this year they are doing a mixed year random battles." Fran said. She saw the confused looks on her friends faces. "The school gives both trainers 3 school Pokémon. They are to the same level, and are selected by random. It will show the trainers skill at commanding Pokémon which aren't their own!" She explained.
"Riiight. I think I'll stay out of that one." Kt glanced down at the pokeballs on her belt. "These guys are a handful as they are!" The other three sniggered at this. "Sshh." Trying desperately to get them tis top laughing. "I heard that after the exams we are allowed to have evolved Pokémon!" At this the other three did stop laughing. Excitement appeared in their eyes.
"We're allowed to let our Pokémon evolve?" John asked sounding slightly sceptical. Kt nodded. The four walked back to their dorms deep in thought. As Ben opened the door he was tackled to ground by an over enthusiastic Growlith.
"Would please stop doing that Growlith?" Ben complain. "You were just behind us as well!" Growlith just started to lick his face again. 'I wanna evolve first! Can I? Please? Oh let me evolve!' A paw came into Ben's very distorted field of view and pulled Growlith off. 'You know he said he would evolve you as soon as he could' Riolu said as he dragged Growlith off. "Thanks Riolu. Growlith I'll evolve you when I can but I need a fire stone to do so..." He drifted off into thought.
"Oi lazy get in the room or stay out side and close the door!" Fran's voice came from the lounge. "Your letting the warm air out!" Ben scrambled to his feet and went in.
-Next day-
"Riolu, battle stance!" Riolu appeared on the ground in front of Ben. He was on one knee and a paw.
"Budew, take the stage!" The Pokémon appeared in front of its trainer looking around at every one watching.
"THIS SHALL BE A ONE ON ONE POKÉMON BATTLE. LAST POKÉMON STANDING IS THE WINNER. BEGIN!" The judge shouted. Ben looked at his opponent. She was about the same size as him and looked determined. He hadn't seen her that much because he was in the other class.
"Budew use stun spore!" The Pokémon fired the spore towards Riolu.
"Riolu doge!" Just before the spore touched him, Riolu darted to the side. "Quick attack!" He darted forward going in a zigzag pattern. The trainer didn't seem worried.
"Grass knot, let's go!" The Budew started to glow green. The grass in front of Riolu twisted it's self and tired it's self together. One of his feet got caught under it and he fell face first.
"Riolu, up!" Riolu stood up and jumped into the air. "Force palm!" Riolu held out his paw and a blue aura started to surrounded it. Suddenly Budew was being pulled upwards as Riolu accelerated downwards. Just before they hit, he slammed his palm down. There was a flash of blue. Riolu landed on all fours and stood up. Budew fell to the ground. It got back up but seemed to be tiring.
"Budew razor leaf, let's go!" The Pokémon jumped into the air and swung it's head. Razor sharp leaves were flung towards Riolu. Riolu jumped backwards at his masters command. He managed to miss most the leaves but a few hit him square in the chest. Riolu fell to one knee.
"Quick Budew use sunny day!" The small Pokémon started to glow and sent a ball of light into the sky. There was a flash and the sun light became more intense.
"Riolu finish it off with ice punch!" Riolu started to charge forward, arm held back. There was a crack as ice surround his paw.
"Budew, solar beam!" The Budew started to gain a ball of light above its head. Riolu was almost there. A blast of light erupted towards him.
"Riolu jump!" He did as his trainer told and jumped. The solar beam skimmed his back paws and Riolu winced at the pain. He was now above the Budew. Swinging his fist down, still covered with ice, it made contact with the Budew's head. Ice formed around its bold as it fell to the ground.
"BUDEW IS UNABLE TO BATTLE. BEN IS THE WINNER AND WILL PROCEED TO THE NEXT ROUND." The few class mates around the field clapped. Both trainers returned their Pokémon. They walked into the middle of the field.
"Good fight" they both said whilst shaking hands. Ben then turned and ran off to find John and see how he was doing.

First time really writing a Pokémon battle so let me know how I did. Quick note, I'll probably lose track of what moves each Pokémon knows so er... Well they will use more than four. Hope you enjoyed and stay tuned!
