The First Match
"Welcome back, all you beautiful viewers! My name is Puck, and I'm joined by the other announcer who doesn't have the name, because the author is too lazy to give him one."
"We're coming to you live, from the Pokemon League, here in the Sinnoh region. All of the trainers have been assigned teams, and opponents. On this beautiful monday morning, we're going to push these trainers to the limit."
"I'm sure that almost none of the viewers really care about what we're saying anymore, so let's give you the first pair from team one. Pokemon Trainer Lyra, of New Bark Town, versus Pokemon Trainer Barry, of Twinleaf town, who appears to have the home field advantage."
"We're about to kick this battle off in about five minutes, so whatever you do, don't you dare go away."
Lyra stood on her end of the field, staring at the blonde haired boy across from her. She'd looked over the ins and outs of his battle technique and was fairly confident in herself, especially knowing that Ethan would be there to cheer her on. She looked down at the pokeball in her hand and held it close to her chest. She had faith in both herself, and pokemon. With all of that, she felt like she would be unbeatable.
"Hey, no hard feelings if you lose Johto Girl." Barry shouted from the other side of the field.
"Oh sure, he remembers where I'm from, but not my name." Lyra said to herself.
"The match will begin in one minute. Any spectators should take your seats now!" The announcer spoke over the speaker system in an excited way.
"Don't worry about me, I'm on a winning streak, and I don't intend to lose that any time soon." Lyra boasted, making him step back a little.
"Trainers, draw your pokeballs." Puck's voice said calmly. They both had Pokeballs in their hands now, and were ready to send out their pokemon.
"On your marks, get set, throw!" Both trainers wound back and hurled their pokeballs forward.
"Alright Staraptor, let's go!" Barry shouted, as the bird pokemon flew out of the pokeball, did a U-turn, and landed in front of its trainer marvelously.
"Let's go, Azumarill!" Lyra shouted at the same time, Throwing her pokeball and sent out the water fairy type.
"Azoom! (Yay!)" the Pokemon cried happily. Azumarill looked up at her opponent and froze in fear.
"Well, before the battles even started, it looks like Barry's taken the advantage over Azumarill with Staraptor's intimidate ability!" Puck's voice rang out over the speakers.
"Intimidate? That's going to make Azumarill's huge power less effective. How did I overlook this?" Lyra thought to herself with nothing but worry in her mind.
"Three, two, one, begin!" The announcer said, making both trainers tense up, and focus.
"Staraptor, we practiced this, use Steel Wing attack." Barry commanded, causing the large bird to leap off the ground and fly straight at Azumarill, with its wings giving off a polished tint look to them.
"Azumarill, jump!" Lyra said, reacting swiftly to Barry's initial attack. Azumarill leapt over the bird, avoiding the attack all together.
"On your way down, hit it with a body slam!" Lyra smiled, seeing how Azumarill would've hit the bird on the way down anyway. She heald her breath and hoped that the body slam would enact a paralysis effect on Staraptor.
Staraptor, underneath Azumarill came crashing into the ground below, making Barry step back a little. Azumarill hopped off, and got into formation with Lyra again. Staraptor got up off the ground and gave another cry, before focusing intently on her Pokemon.
"Looks like that Body Slam didn't cause Paralysis, but it definitely did some damage though." Lyra smiled at her small victory.
"Don't get too cocky! Staraptor, Steel Wing! Again!" The bird pokemon hesitated for a moment, before following its trainers order. Once again, Staraptor took off toward Azumarill with blazing speed
"Azumarill, hit it back with an Aqua Tail!" Lyra said. The little ball on Azumarill's tail began to glow in a blue light, before Azumarill leapt toward Staraptor, and in mid flight, turned, and slammed its tail into the pokemon, knocking Staraptor out.
"Staraptor, return." Barry sighed in a defeated tone. "You had great hustle buddy, don't worry about that first round, I'll still win this for you."
"Great job Azumarill, but there's no time to stand by idle ceremony my friend, we're not out of this yet." Lyra congratulated, causing Azumarill to smile happily.
"Alright, you might have the advantage, but that ends here! Torterra! Let's go!" Barry said, throwing another pokeball onto the field.
"Watch out Azie, that's a grass type." Lyra instructed, making her pokemon go into a state of focus.
"Zu, zumarill. (Okay, let's do this then.)" The pokemon smiled.
"Torterra! Use Energy Ball, quickly!" The pokemon suddenly formed a green ball in its mouth and shot it towards Azumarill, hitting the pokemon square in the chest, causing smoke to form off of the attack. Azumarill stumbled from the hit briefly, but got its balance, and was ready to fight again.
"Azumarill, use Body Slam!" Lyra instructed. The pokemon charged toward Torterra with all of its might, and leapt on top of the grass pokemon's head, flooring it. The attack didn't do as much damage as it did to Staraptor, but it gave an even better result. Azumarill sprang off of Torterra's head, and landed in front of Lyra. Torterra slowly got up, as a couple sparks began to jump off its body.
"Good! Its Paralyzed, Azumarill, Aqua Tail!" Azumarill didn't hesitate, and charged the beast in front of it once again.
"Torterra, Energy Ball!" As Azumarill sprang into the air for its attack, Torterra fired the green blob at Azumarill, hitting it once again. Azumarill's tail slammed into Torterra's back, and Azumarill leapt back towards Lyra, looking like it was okay. That was until Azumarill's injury got the best of it, and it fell over, fainted.
"Azumarill, come back. You did great pal." Lyra smiled, recalling her pokemon. She put Azumarill's pokeball back in her bag, and took out a different one.
"Looks like it's pretty much all tied up right now, with Lyra ahead by only some damage, and a paralysis effect on Torterra." Puck announced.
Lyra glanced over to the jumbotron where they had displayed the teams yesterday, to see what was going on in the battle. Based on observations from spectators, Torterra had only Forty percent of its HP left, and the pokemons Icon was surrounded by a yellow light, to indicate the paralysis effect.
"Alright, we've got the advantage still, so give it your best, Togekiss!" Lyra smiled, throwing the final evolution of Togepi onto the battlefield. The pokemon appeared in a bright light, and was giving a warm smile.
"Togekiss, Air Slash. Try to make it flinch!" Lyra smiled, seeing as the odds of Torterra flinching were sixty percent, due to Togekiss' ability, Serene Grace. The ability allowed for a pokemon move with a secondary effect, have double the chance of activating the effect.
"That's not good, Torterra, return!" Barry said, making Torterra return to him. He took out another pokeball, and threw another one onto the field. The fiery horse exploded onto the field in a burst of flame.
Togekiss began to flap its wings rapidly, sending large, sharp,crescent shaped, air slices toward Rapidash, landing many of its hits.
"Rapidash, use poison jab!" The pokemon dashed forward, and ran head first into Togekiss, slamming its horn into Togekiss' chest.
"Great, no flinch."Lyra thought to herself. Togekiss let out a cry of pain from the super effective attack, and purple bubbles began to form around Togekiss.
"Poison! That's not good. Okay, think, what does Togekiss have that will be good against Rapidash?" Lyra thought to herself. She directed her gaze toward the field once again and shouted her command.
"Togekiss! Ancient Power!" Togekiss lifted rocks off of the ground, that began to glow a purple aura. The rocks were sent flying toward Rapidash, but despite the steed's best efforts to evade, the rocks hit, and knocked out Rapidash.
"Rapidash, come back." Barry sighed. He pulled out another pokeball, and hurled it at the field. "Floatzel! I choose you!"
The sea weasel pokemon stood proudly in front of its trainer, with an almost smug look on its face.
"Floatzel! Ice fang, quickly!" Barry said with excitement. Lyra knew she needed to act before the match could finish. With Togekiss slowed slightly by the Poison, Floatzel managed to chomp at Togekiss' body, effectively hitting it with the Ice type move. Togekiss flew to the ground, and stood in front of its trainers, hoping she'd come up with a strategy.
"Togekiss, muster what energy you have left and hit it with an ancient power!" Lyra said enthusiastically. Togekiss managed to fly into the air, and begun creating a silvery white orb in front of it. Togekiss launched the orb towards Floatzel in a near blinding speed, and with some of the power leftover, Togekiss glowed in light, giving Togekiss a stronger look to it.
"Floatzel use-" Barry started, but was interrupted by Lyra giving Togekiss the command for a signal beam attack. Before either Barry or Floatzel could react, the weak flying and fairy type sent a colored beam straight into Floatzel's chest, and sending the sea weasel flying, knocking it out. Togekiss then landed out of exhaustion, and suddenly fell over after the attack.
"It looks as though we've got a double knock out on our hands from Togekiss' Signal beam, and the poison effect on Togekiss, knocking both of the trainer's pokemon out. Would each trainer draw your next pokemon, and throw them at the same time." Puck announced
"You did great Togekiss, take a long break." Lyra sighed. She quickly swapped Togekiss' pokeball for a different one in her bag, and checked to make sure that Barry was ready. When he was, they both nodded, wound up, and hurled their pokeballs onto the field.
"Pokemon trainer Barry has sent out Snorlax, while pokemon trainer Lyra has sent out Butterfree. Let this battle resume!" The unnamed announcer said, and the two trainers started going at it again.
"Butterfree, Sleep powder!" Lyra smiled. Butterfree took off towards Snorlax and began to flap its wings to release green cotton looking powder over Snorlax's head. Snorlax went from a look of anger, to drowsiness, to sleep in a matter of seconds.
"No! Snorlax, wake up!" Barry pleaded.
"Butterfree, supersonic." Butterfree stared at Snorlax's head until a few golden colored rings shot from Butterfree's wings and hit Snorlax in the head, to put it into a state of confusion.
"Snorlax!" Barry shouted, trying to wake the pokemon from its deep slumber.
"Bug Buzz." Butterfree began to flap its wings again to create a very high pitched buzzing sound, and kept it up until Snorlax awoke from its sleep, and looking very angry.
"Nice job, alright Snorlax, Crunch!" Barry commanded, happy that his pokemon had finally awoken. Snorlax reached up and grabbed Butterfree by the wing, then biting down harshly on the butterfly's body, causing it to cry out in pain.
"Butterfree, Sleep powder!" Lyra cried, seeing as her pokemon was now injured, and in deep trouble. While still at Snorlax's mercy, Butterfree tried as hard as it could to flap its wings and create the attack. Suddenly, the same cotton like powder from before began to form, and Snorlax looked drowzie again. Butterfree managed to get free and flew out of the behemoth's mouth.
"Butterfree, keep using bug buzz!" Lyra instructed. Butterfree kept on flapping its wings and created the buzzing noise again, causing Snorlax to stur.
"Snorlax!" Barry cried.
Snorlax suddenly got up, to everyone's surprise and appeared ready to fight once more.
"Snorlax, use another Crunch attack!" Barry smiled happily, and Snorlax began to charge Butterfree, but this time in a zigzag pattern. Before long, Snorlax fell over, and fainted from the confusion.
"Good job Butterfree!" Lyra said happily while Butterfree was struggling to keep itself in the air.
"Alright, Heracross! Let's go!" Barry said, throwing out his only Pokemon that haddn't battled yet.
"Butterfree, Supersonic!" Lyra said with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, Heracross was moving around the battlefield, making the attack almost impossible to land.
"Heracross, Night Slash!" Barry instructed. Heracross jumped at Butterfree and slashed at the butterfly, causing Butterfree to fall to the ground, fainting.
"Butterfree, come back, you did great out there." Lyra sighed. "Alright, it's just this Heracross, and Torterra left, I shouldn't send out Espeon or Meganium because of its obvious type advantage, so that leaves me with you." she concluded pulling out the Pokeball.
"Dragonair, I choose you!" The dragon pokemon slithered onto the field, and sent a harsh glare towards Heracross.
"Okay, Dragonair, use Thunder Wave!" The pokemon began to rattle its tail, until suddenly jetting forward and stabbing at Heracross, paralyzing the beetle pokemon.
"It's close, hit it with a Close Combat attack, Heracross." heracross suddenly leapt forward, and in a flurry of punches, kicks, and slashes, managed to land multiple consecutive hits, greatly weakening Dragonair.
"Dragonair, use Aqua tail." Lyra beamed, seeing as she was extremely close to victory.
"Heracross, another Close Combat attack!"
Dragonair slithered towards Heracross again, and slammed its tail into the unmoving beetle. Sparks suddenly shot off of Heracross, indication that the paralysis had taken its toll. Heracross slid across the ground, and got onto its hands and knees to try and get up.
"Once more, Aqua tail, finish it!" Lyra said with a big burst of excitement. Dragonair smirked, and sent it's tail down on Barry's crippled pokemon, but didn't make contact. Heracross had rolled to the side, breaking out of paralysis, and managed to hit Dragonair with the Close Combat attack. The attack knocked the wind out of the serpent, and it fell to the ground, unable to continue with the battle.
"You gave it your best shot, good job buddy." Lyra said, letting her excitement come back down to earth. She took a deep breath, and checked which pokemon she had left. She picked one, and with a heart warming smile, threw the ball onto the field.
"Espeon, your next!" At first, the pokemon appeared to be asleep standing up, with a chuckle, Barry, not trying to let up at all, took the chance to attack.
"Heracross, Night Slash." heracross nodded, and with its remaining strength, charged straight for Espeon, until it suddenly began to float. Barry was confused, until he noticed that Espeon wasn't asleep at all, and had its eyes wide open. Espeon was glowing a flaming blue color, the same shade as the aura that surrounded Heracross. Suddenly, Heracross was flung back to Barry, and was unable to continue the battle after that.
Barry recalled Heracross, and pulled out his last pokeball.
"Okay, Torterra, make me proud." Barry said in a last ditch attempt to steal victory. "Crunch attack!"
Torterra charged Espeon, until it to began to levitate into the air, and was then slammed back down into the ground, knocking Barry's last pokemon out. The pokeball's red light surrounded Torterra, and it returned to Barry.
"Great job Espeon!" Lyra said, running up to her Pokemon and giving it a big hug.
Barry walked over to Lyra with a confused look on his face. He took a deep breath and spoke.
"I can't believe I lost, I mean, losing to Lucas and Dawn is one thing, but I didn't think I'd lose to anyone else! You know what? I'm going to train twice as hard. There won't be any letup from me next time."
"I can't wait, that was a fun battle." Lyra said, extending her arm to meet his. Barry smiled, and shook her hand, causing the audience to applaud.
"Well, after that amazing first round, I can already tell you, unnamed announcer, that these matches are going to get heated."
"Oh yeah, I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire match."
"This was just the first round, so if you viewers out there know anyone who isn't watching, tell them to watch. Otherwise they won't know what they're missing."
"We're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, Pokemon trainer Blue, from Kanto will be taking on Pokemon trainer Hilda, of Unova."
"That's right, stay tuned while we cut to the Author's Notes house, TV commercials."
