Chapter 2 - Heat the Soul (Please R&R)

Don walked through a bush and saw many large battle grounds with trainers battling each other with people around a few arenas and saw another version of the classic trainer, with a Poke ball image all over his outfit. He challenged Don, who happily accepted. They made their way to the nearest arena and prepaired to face off.

I choose you Infernape! Hah!" he called grinning" How do you like my Pok mon? Almost immediately, Don grabbed his Pokedex to see what he was up against, and it replied,

Infernape, the flame Pok mon, it uses unique fighting moves with fire on its hands and feet. It will take on any opponent." It finished with its robotic, dull, monotone voice.

" Lucky us Luxio," he mumbled to his Pok mon," It's not going to run away in fear... Well at least not from us", but Luxio had already stopped listening and walked forward to fight against the Pok mon almost twice his size.

Come back," Don said," Did I choose you; how do you know I wont be using a different Pok mon?" Luxio just glared at Don, reminding him that he was the only Pok mon Don owned. Don mumbled something but it couldn't be heard over the taunting of his opponent.

"Ok, Luxio go out there and make me proud!"

The Infernape, that didn t look very well trained and poorly looked after, was not just standing around, its fists and feet started glowing with great heat and large flames; but Don was not scared because he knew very well the speed of Luxio and with his own hidden power, they were unstoppable." Whoosh! Boom! Don seemed to underestimate the power of this Infernape and his opponents words clarified everything,

I took my Pok mon to the Indigo Plateau, but was stopped by the champion. I really hope that your puny pup has a hidden weapon or it is about to become extinct! Enough words, Infernape, flame wheel! the dark trainer commanded.

The Infernape curled into a ball engulfed by flames, rushing to the much smaller Luxio.

Luxio! Dodge, use charge and finish with thunder bite!" Don said with a calm tone, calculating the fight from all angles and keeping an eye out for any surprizes. The flame surrounding the Infernape grew as it came closer to the small Pok mon; the Luxio panicked and rolled aside narrowly being missed by the flame, then it started to glow brightly, absorbing any energy nearby, it jumped up to the unaware ape and with bright glowing, pearly white teeth; biting it at the back of its neck, electrocuting the monkeys body.

Infernape, shake off the tingle and use fire punch and don't miss!" the trainer with a blue shirt horridly commanded. The Infernape looked as furious as its trainer and its Blaze ability kicked in, but Luxio was ready and knew that it takes a second to work, so Luxio rammed into it using a quick attack and finished the beast off.

No fair", the trainer bellowed," I, Jason the great, will not loose to a NooB; I choose you Charizard go out and destroy him! Now!" he screamed angrily,

Summoning a giant, winged, mythological looking beast, it had an orange hide and cr me front, with a flame tipped tail. It stood on two legs with large, sharp claws and an intimidating face with two horns at the end of it. Don called Shinx over and whispered,

I thought this was a one on one challenge. Seems like you have a challenge ahead of you boy, do you want to take him on?" Luxio started jumping around, constantly nodding, Ok boy, he seems exited about this one. Be extra careful. I m going to rest near that tree." Don said to his battle happy Shinx.

Roar! Lux! the Luxio taunts. They both look up to see large flames and an even larger red dragon with a black scar covering its face that was clearly angry and very powerful, but already injured and untrusting of its trainer. Luxio ran forward and with his teeth glowing and gave the Charizard a powerful thunder bite. Don just called Luxio said that he should have fun and he responded with a happy growl.

So Don saw that he was not needed and saw a Ralts on a tree. Seemingly hiding behind a few branches, but it didn't see Don yet. Don steadily snuck closer, slowly and quietly because he could not use Luxio to weaken the still oblivious Ralts.

Quickly Don threw the Poke ball and it swallowed the small Pok mon in a red glow and collapsed on to the ground, shaking vigorously and rolling on its sides.

Ping! That was the signal that the tiny psychic Pok mon was caught, so he took the ball and minimised it, attaching it to his belt holster. As an afterthought he remembered the battle between the electric dog and the fire beast, but he had a world of faith that Luxio would win. He happily galloped to the scene of the war.

The arena was nearly completely destroyed and it was clear who was winning, the other trainer looked as though he was going crazy, pulling out his hair and shouting out words that did not make sense, but the Charizard was not listening, it was blowing fire out in every direction, but it seemed nothing could stop the much smaller, happy and now glowing Luxio. Luxio charged towards the dragon with glowing teeth and claws, about to finish the fight, but something caught Don's ear, the words of the now sobbing trainer,

Charizard! Blast ngh... Burn! Don's eyes flashed wide at this command, he slowly saw the Charizard tail flame glow bright silver, releasing a massive amount of heat.

Don saw that the Charizard's attack was not aimed at Luxio but at a girl fighting on the next field with a bright red belt. He panicked and started running saying,

Hurry, quick, move" between breaths, but the girl was not bothered and continued her match. Don quickly turned back to see the progress of the now glowing, heated, energy wave, still aimed at her. No! Don thought I'm not close enough and it looks like its Blaze ability just kicked in as well.

Don's only Poke ball fell on the floor releasing the newly caught Pok mon, staring around wondering what happened. The Ralts was the last thing on his mind, it was the fact that that he and his Luxio could not reach their targets in time.

Goodbye girl with shiny, red, Pok mon belt."

Boom! The Charizard's blast was released and is now going to reach Don then the red belted girl and her large and rather beautiful Milotic.

Blink! Don saw a flash and was in the girl s arms, without hesitating he grabbed her and just kept running.

Shink! Luxio finally reached it and with little effort, knocked it down.

The girl on the other hand was furious and was hitting him in the head with Don only knew as a sharp and painful object, but that was still not what his mind, it was the nearing ball if fire that was burning the small hairs off of his almost flat-cut head. The girl looked up and instead of her continuous screaming of 'put me down', she was now screaming 'run faster' and was hitting reasonably harder.

When Don could not take the beating anymore he just skid around, slipping and collapsed on his back, happily keeping the 'pain' safe.

Whoosh! The flames grew everywhere, slightly burning the tips of his now grass stained jeans. Trainers from all the arenas helped take out the fire, with water gun attacks and sand traps.

When Don finally tried to get up he saw the Ralts he just caught sitting next to him, holding his Poke ball and wearing a grim face; as Don started to get up, but was jumped on by an exited Luxio, knocking Don's wind out.

Ok boy, move one side, I need to get up." the tired Don said. So one again he attempted to rise and was jumped on by a slightly heavier body, but this time Don was too weak to open his eyes fully and in the solar glare, he saw a bright light, big hazel and long shiny hair on a heavenly figure, Don said weakly,

I think I'm being taken away by an angel.", but instead of the greeting he was expecting, he was met by the words,

O, I'm sure you can do better than that angel" and a surprizing kiss on the cheek. Then he remembered he just saved the red belt.
