Ugh.

I looked at the clock. It was 9:30, and I was practically a zombie. I don't remember half the things that happened last night, but the one thing I remembered was that Elesa and I both fell asleep at around 4:00 in the morning.

I got up, suddenly remembering that I was in Elesa's flat. I watched her get up right after me, still wearing last night's clothes. It was a good night from what I remember, but I was still to hung over to remember the details.

"G' morning. How'd you sleep?" I asked her, still half asleep.

"Great. Doesn't look like you got much sleep at all.." She giggled. I loved it when she was happy. "By the way, you seem to ave forgotten that you have a battle today. And it's in FIFTEEN MINUTES." she said/screamed.

"Shit!" I yelled. I pulled on my favorite blue overcoat and ran out the door before forgetting something. "Pokemon. Pokemon are important". I ran back and grabbed my pokeball. I hadn't given my pokemon much choice as I had been out with Elesa all night. Elesa just changed into some skinny jeans, a graphic tee, and a cashmere sweater. She didn't need any pokeballs, because she had been ousted by Morty and his Gengar. Anyways, if I do end up beating Falkner, then I will go on to battle the winner of Whitney and Skyla's battle. The winner of that is the winner of the championship.

All these thoughts bought a smile to my face as I walked out of the condominium and into Elesa's car. It was a nice coupe, with custom rims and a beautiful paint colour (yellow, naturally). Elesa must have seen me staring at the car.

"Like it?" she asked. "I did it myself".

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm really into cars." She said enthusiastically. "But right now, you have a battle to win". She was right. I had to kick some bird butt to make it to the final. I sat in the passenger seat, buckled up, and we sped away.

Elsea was probably going thirty over the speed limit when we hit the freeway. I was really panicky. I really did not want to die, or worse, get arrested.

"Elesa! Slow down!" I said nervously.

"It's okay. This wouldn't be the first time I went this speed." She said.

I passed out.

When I woke up, we were at the stadium, with five minutes to spare.

"Come on Volkey, we can't miss this battle and leave thousands of fans upset!" She said. So I got up and ran to the waiting room, which was about a two minute run.

I walked inside panting. Falkner spotted me.

"Whoa there, I didn't know you were that interested in battling me" he said. He paused for a few seconds before saying something equally pathetic. "You're dead meat, 'Volkey'".

"What?"

"Volkey? Isn't that what she calls you?"

"Yeah, but-"

"I never thought that you would get yourself a girl, mate. But do you realize that you're gonna have to leave her tomorrow?"

My heart stopped. I WAS leaving her tomorrow. This was my last day in Nimbasa. I stayed here for less than a week, and I already fell in love. Falkner was right. He was.

But no. No it wasn't over. I had a day, and I needed to show her that I loved her. Today I would. I would give this battle my all. I would win the tourney and I would dedicate my win to her. I would show her that I loved her.

"Don't worry right now Falkner, you have something else coming for you right now." I smirked to him as the match referee ushered us onto the battlefield. Show him, Volkner, I said to myself. Show him.

Falkner and took his position and I took mine. The referee stated the rules quickly and then sat down at his desk. I pulled out my pokeball. I had prepared this pokemon for this battle. I sighed, and released him.

"Go! Rotom!" I yelled.

"Go! Charizard!" Falkner followed suit.

Charizard. I must say, Falkner, that's a hell of a choice. But can it match my Rotom in speed? Rotom was in Frost form, so it looked like a giant refrigerator with eyes. Falkner smiled. Charizard was a fire type, while my Rotom was Ice. We were both at par with each other now. I made the first move.

"Rotom! Shadow Ball!" I commanded. With immense speed, Frost Rotom flew into the sky and launched a badass shadow ball. Charizard had definitely been slacking off during training, because by the time that Charizard noticed, Rotom's Shadow Ball hit its face. It skidded a few meters, but instantly jumped up and recovered.

"Charizard! Flamethrower!" yelled Falkner from the other side of the stadium. Charizard also flew into the sky and hovered, looking for an opportunity.

"Don't let that Flamethrower get near you!" I told Rotom. Rotom scurried for protection under trees and behind rocks, randomly zipping around. Charizard couldn't properly aim, and so he didn't shoot at all.

"Never mind Charizard, just fly high into the sky and use Earthquake!" commanded Falkner. Shit was getting heated. Charizard flew up into the sky, and he was barely visible as he rocketed towards the ground.

"Rotom! Get off the ground!" I yelled. "Rotom!". He couldn't hear me, I knew it. He was scared stiff by the oncoming Earthquake.

"Rotom! Please, just listen to me and get off the ground!" I screamed. I couldn't do it. Charizard was speeding towards the ground, with his legs out and bracing for the impact.

"ROTOM!" I screamed violently, in a last-ditch attempt to escape the Earthquake. It was too late.

Granules of stone and dirt shot at me after Charizard's impact, like razors brushing up against my face. Then I felt the ground under me churn, making me fall over. I covered my face with my jacket and faced the winds, holding a wide stance. Once all of the dust cleared out I saw Rotom. In the sky. Hurt, but not badly.

"Yes! Rotom yes!" I cheered. But this was no time to celebrate. Charizard was weakened by the devastating attack, and I needed to use that to my advantage. "Rotom! Use Blizzard!".

Rotom spun around and around, making the air around him cool. In a matter of seconds, the temperature in the stadium went down drastically. High speed winds were gusting, and there was snow everywhere, making it next to impossible to see. That was exactly what I needed.

"Rotom! Now use Thunder!" Rotom got very near charizard, and used a near fatal Thunder on Charizard. You could hear the fire dragon moan though the howling winds. But then I heard more noises. Rotom was squealing and shouting. And then silence.

Silence.
