Chapter 4: Emerald VS Yellow
"All spectators please welcome the primary participant for this competition, the reason it was held in the first place, Frontier Contestant: EMERALD"
The crowd went crazy; it was oblivious who their favourite contestant was.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome his opponent, the hero of Kanto, Amarillo Del Bosque Verde!
Also known as Yellow of Viridian Forest!"
The cheer this time wasn't quite as loud, but Yellow wasn't offended. After all, she knew that Emerald was the one all these people came to see.
"Emerald," yellow began in a soft voice, "I don't want to fight my friends. But if they need me to fight, even if it's against them, I won't hold back!"
"I didn't want, nor, expect you to." Emerald replied.
"Let the Battle commence!"
They each sent out their first Pokémon.
"First battle is between Emeralds Sudowoodo VS Yellow's Ratty, her Raticate"
Emerald began thinking of his strategies. 'Since I have both Sudowoodo and Sceptile with me in this competition…' Emerald thought to himself. 'She probably won't send out her Pikachu; in that case…'
"Sudowoodo, use rock slide!"
"Ratty, dodge towards Sudowoodo, then use Hyper Fang!"
As Ratty closed in, his teeth began to glow.
"Sudowoodo, get ready to use counter!"
The Hyper Fangs raw power, regardless of type, was able to deal considerable to Sudowoodo. But that might not be such a good thing…
Sudowoodo was able to turn Ratty's attack in to advantage by getting it to lower its guard so it could deliver such a powerful attack.
"Ratty has been knocked unconscious, leaving Yellow with only one Pokémon left to battle with."
"RATTY, NO!" Yellow shouted in concern.
"The sheer power of that last attack, added to the fact that Counter is a Fighting Type move, your Rattata didn't stand much of a chance." Emerald revealed. "Hurry and send out your next Pokémon"
"GO, KITTY!" Yellow threw the pokéball on to the stage.
"Yellow has chosen Kitty, her Butterfree, as her second Pokémon."
"Kitty, slow her down with String Shot!"
"Sudowoodo, Rock Slide!"
"Before she can get you, use Supersonic!"
Sudowoodo became dizzy and wobbled right under his own Rock Slide.
"That should've finished it…" Yellow said anxiously.
She was wrong; Sudowoodo got right back up and executed the Rock Slide move that Emerald had intended to hit Butterfree with.
The attack hit the mark and rocks piled on top of Kitty.
"Butterfree is no longer able to battle, EMERALD WINS!"
The crowd was ecstatic, throwing items on to the stage in glee.
Yellow called back Kitty and approached Emerald.
"How was Sudowoodo able to withstand that last attack?"
"I'm surprised you didn't notice," emerald muttered. "The whole battle, Sudowoodo was holding a Focus Band."
"So you were relying on that working?" Yellow inquired. "Isn't that kind of a risky strategy?"
"Not at all," Emerald said, and sent out Sceptile.
Yellow looked in Sceptile's hand. "The Quick Claw!" Yellow exclaimed.
"Correct, in the event of Sudowoodo being defeated, I wanted Sceptile to be able to finish the battle as quickly as possible."
The two contestants shook hands, and left the stage.
