"Go, Togekiss! Battle dance!"
"And Cynthia has chosen the flying type Togekiss to challenge Sabrina's fighting type! Gallade is now at a disadvantage!"
The psychic calmly pointed her Pokéball at the Blade Pokémon, returning it to its Pokéball with a brief flash of red light. Idly fingering her selection of Pokéballs, she slowly selected one. There was a slight risk in using it, but she was confident it would do the job well. She sent it in with the same flick of the risk and watched her opponents face for any reaction, but the Champion continued to simply smile at her as the light from the Pokéball vanished, leaving the purple figure of the Human Shape Pokémon Jynx looking up at her opponent. She tilted her head back, emitting an eerie wail that echoed throughout the stadium.
"Sabrina sends out Jynx, and Cynthia has the first move!"
"Togekiss, Flamethrower!"
Like she hadn't expected that.
Counter with Focus Blast.
Putting her hands together, Jynx sent a ball of blue light flying towards the Flamethrower, slamming into it and stopping it in its tracks. Smoke covered both Pokémon and they flailed around wildly in the darkness, unable to see. Frowning, she wound a strand of blue hair around her finger. Her Pokémon should stay calm in any situation- she was not pleased with Jynx's panicking. Then again, she supposed she could forgive it this time. A psychic type's worst foe was a dark type after all.
Perish song.
Somewhere in the black smoke, a haunting tune sang out and twisted, red music notes drifted out as the remaining smoke cleared. Both Pokémon were on the floor, recovering from the initial effects of the song. Tossing her hair back, Cynthia motioned upwards, calling for her Pokémon to get up and fly. Slowly, he complied, soaring upwards somewhat sluggishly. Clearly, Cynthia wanted to get as many hits in before returning her Pokémon.
Very well then, Blizzard.
"Flamethrower again, Togekiss!"
Gritting her teeth as Jynx was sent smashing backwards, the Blizzard melted on contact, Sabrina cursed. She should have seen that coming. Clearly, a new approach was required.
Psychic. Stop anything it throws at you.
As the next Flamethrower made its way towards her, Jynx raised her hands, surrounding it with the pink glow of Psychic. But as she began to push it back, a cry of pain tore out of her mouth and she was surrounded by flames. Sabrina's eyes widened in anger. Burned? And she hadn't realised it until it was clear to everyone? What was wrong with her?
"Togekiss, finish it with Aura Sphere!"
Maybe it isn't possible to fully predict what the future holds...but I know Aura Sphere cannot be dodged, Focus Blast if you will.
This time, Jynx came out on top. Focus Blast shattered Aura Sphere and hit Togekiss full on, albeit minus some of its initial power. Togekiss circled downwards before pulling itself back up inches away from its opponent. For a moment the two Pokémon eyed each other before their trainers simultaneously called their commands.
"Aura Sphere!"
Focus Blast.
The two moves collide once again, and once again, Focus Blast hit Togekiss. But as Togekiss tumbled backwards, it was recalled by its trainer, disappearing just as another bout of flames enveloped Jynx. The ice type dropped to her knees and collapsed.
"Jynx!"
"Gallade is unable to battle! Lucario wins!"
Caitlin clenched her fists tightly. Cynthia had only lost two Pokémon, Milotic and Spiritomb, while Sabrina was down to two.
"I told you Cynthia'd win. Told you, told you," Barry bounced on the couch in glee. "She's more than a gym leader, she's a Champion! And she's gonna win! Pay up!"
"It's not over yet. She can win!"
"Yaaaaah, boo sucks!"
Pulling a face, he stuck out his tongue and danced around her. She watched him with growing resentment, a burning feeling clouding her senses.
"Stop it! STOP IT!"
As she screamed, a vase on the far side of the room shuddered and toppled onto the floor, shattering and spraying water and petals around the room. Barry froze and stared at her in awe.
"You sure have some voice…"
She didn't hear him, she simply stared at it in shock and fear. Had she done that? She hadn't meant to…but what else could happen if she lost control?
