~Chapter 4~

"We're not going so easy on you kids, y'know!" Amy pressed the small button in the middle of the pokeball, making it grow like before. "Let's kick some ass, Torchic!"

"Go. Totodile!" Michael did the same, casting the Pokeball out on the field to reveal a shining bright light that synchronized with Amy's.

There a blue little animal that resembled another reptile popped out of the ball. His mouth was quite large, and he seemed quite small for something that could do any damage. Then again, they couldn't say anything; Their Pokemon were small as well. It let out a screech from it's mouth before landing in the field with another Pokemon who stood by it.

This Pokemon was as small as a chicken with orange and yellow coloring around it's body. It's wings were like leaves in a way, but much smaller when it came to sharp tips. Finally, it's talons were quite long for it's size; This was probably because it was such a small bird.

"These must be the Pokemon they took from the lab." Alecksus pulled out her Pokedex again, and turned it on to look at the info of the Pokemon. This also went for Lylli, who took out her own Pokedex. It was time for analyzing; Maybe they could give them advantages?

"Torchic: The Chick Pokemon. A flame tends to burn inside it's stomach, so it makes it very warm to hug. The fireballs it launches burn up to 1,800 Degrees Fahrenheit."

And then the other Pokemon as well.

"Totodile: The Big Jaw Pokemon. It has the habit of biting anything with it's developed jaws. Even the Trainer must learn to be careful with it."

'A Water Pokemon and a Fire Pokemon, huh?' Alecksus grit her teeth, knowing that this was an all or nothing match that was at hand. Treecko was already out of his Pokeball, but she wasn't sure if Charmander was strong enough at the moment to even take it on. After all, the heavy breathing signaled something totally different.

Lylli looked down at her Pokeball, closing her eyes and nodding to herself before tossing it up in the air. "Do your best! Charmander, go!"

"Lylli.." Alecksus' eyes softened. "Okay. Treecko, let's do this!"

"Don't think it'll be easy," Amy pointed her finger at Alecksus' Treecko, "Torchic? Scratch it!"

The bird chirped, running towards Treecko and hopping on one foot to have it's Talons aim at his face. Treecko braced itself.

"Dodge it!" Alecksus cried out to her teammate, making it jump into the air and start flying down at the Torchic. "Now, Attack!"

"Hah!" Treecko inhaled some air, taking the Torchic with it. However.. Something was wrong. Wouldn't that have dealt some damage to any Pokemon?

"Ah! It learned a new move!" Lylli grinned, "I wonder what moves Charmander knows... Attack the Totodile!"

The Claw on the Pokemon illuminated a clear white color. Even though it was already running out of energy before, it didn't seem to hesitate on attacking the Pokemon in front of him.

"Totodile, Water Gun!" Michael's finger was already pointing towards the Charmander. "Knock it back onto the ground."

"Huh?" Alecksus' eyes widened, "Treecko! Protect Charmander by using..." She opened up the dex again, reading off the skill's name. "Absorb! Yeah!"

"What?" Amy's eyes widened, clenching her fist in frustration. "Torchic, Ember!"

Within seconds, Treecko took in the attack of the Water Gun, but he wasn't dealt as much damage. Alecksus shivered at the thought of the pain from Charmander taking in all the water as a Fire Pokemon. She watched as Treecko used Absorb on the Totodile, but was then knocked back by the Ember.

"Treecko!" Her hands covered her mouth, the pupils in her eyes dilated. "That Torchic's giving us some trouble..."

"Charmander, now's your chance!" Lily twisted around to where her partner was at. "Attack the Torchic with Scratch!"

"Huh?"

"Char!" Spoke out the little Pokemon, knocking down the Torchic into the ground.

"My.. My Torchic!" Amy ran up to the field, picking it up from the ground and cradling it in her arms. "You.. You little brats! Michael, you better finish them off!"

"Mm." His nod was firm, and his expression was unreadable. With Amy's words in his mind, he pointed at Charmander. "Water Gun! Now!"

"Lylli!"

"Huh?"

"Aah!" The Charmander was slammed into the ground from that attack, rolling like a barrel around the grassy field. He was struggling to get up, that's for sure. The Treecko that Lecksi had was becoming furious at the treatment the Charmander was getting, and dashed into battle on his own.

"T-Treecko..." Alecksus was in awe from what the small Pokemon was doing on it's own. It was as if it reflected the bond of her and her sister itself. Whenever one of them was in a pinch, no matter what happened, they were always there to help each other out. Alecksus' face turned into a small grin, pumping her fist into the air. "Finish off that Totodile! Use Absorb once more!"

"Gah!" Amy backed up, "D-Dodge it, Totodile! Dodge it!"

The Pocket Monster didn't comply, in fact he was kind of fearful of the energy that was being sapped up from his body before it was too late. Treecko had easily defeated the little reptile, because it had fallen on the floor as soon as it fainted.

"..." Lylli looked at their Pokemon, and then screamed in delight. "We won! We beat them, Lecksi!"

"We... W-We lost...?" Amy fell onto her knees with her Torchic in hand, whining. "That's not fair!"

"..." Michael sighed, looking at his Totodile. "Awesome job, pal. Return to your Pokeball.."

Alecksus and Lylli held each others hands, jumping up and down and singing a victory cheer that they made up on the spot. Michael and Amy weren't very amused, so they ended up leaving without a word; Not to mention, the two little Pokemon had given each other a high five and danced around them as the sun continued to shine in the light.
