Leaf was sitting in the waiting room waiting for her number to be called.
"And now number 36 Leaf Green!" she heard be called.
Leaf gulped before she got to her feet and walked to the battle field.
"And number 56 Layla!"
Leafs opponent was a girl with dark brown skin and long reddish brown hair. She wore a small pink top, green shorts and pink leggings.
"And now to determine the number of pokemon that will be used." on the overhead screen there were the numbers one, two and three. A light surrounded one then it switched to another number rapidly until if finally stopped on two.
"It had been determined that both trainers will be allowed two pokemon. The battle will be over when both pokemon on either side is unable to battle. Substitution's are allowed. Trainers release your first pokemon!" the referee said.
"Nidoran let's go!" Leaf said.
Nidoran came out of his pokeball and growled.
"Let's run them down Tauros!" Layla said.
Out of her pokeball came a giant pokemon. It had light brown fur and a huge mane around its neck with even darker fur. On its head it had two big curved horns and three tails that were whipping around as it dragged one foot along the ground in anticipation.
"Begin!" the referee said.
"Nidoran use horn attack!" Leaf said.
"We'll use horn attack too!" Layla said.
Both pokemon ran towards each other and hit, because Tauros was bigger Nidoran was sent flying into the air and landed hard.
"Are you ok Nidoran?" Leaf asked.
Nidoran quickly scrambled back to his feet and nodded.
"Tauros use take down!" Layla said.
"Dodge and use double kick!" Leaf said.
Nidoran quickly leapt to the side and then hit Tauros twice in its side making it snort in anger.
It's three tails started to glow silver and it quickly spun and sent whipped his tails into Nidoran who cried out and was sent rolling along the ground.
"Alright Nidoran come back!" Leaf said as she returned her poison type and grabbed her second pokemon "Bulbasaur let's go!"
"Bulbasaur." she said.
"Tauros take that Bulbasaur down!" Layla said.
Dodge and use razor leaf!" Leaf said.
Tauros charged at Bulbasaur but she jumped up and over the charging pokemon before launching several leafs at its backside which made it cry out.
"Giga impact!" Layla said.
Tauros turned around and charged at Bulbasaur. Its entire body became surrounded with purple energy while orange streaks swirled around it and hit Bulbasaur and sent her flying.
"Bulbasaur!" Leaf said with worry, that looked like one strong attack.
Bulbasaur got back to her feet but her legs were shaking.
"Razor leaf!" Leaf said.
Bulbasaur shot several leafs right at Tauros who made no move to dodge and was hit full force and groaned.
When it still didn't move Leaf was suspicious but said "now vine whip!"
Bulbasaur shot out her two vines and whipped Tauros across the face.
Tauros then roared and charged forward.
Looking at its legs Leaf got an idea and said "trip Tauros with vine whip!" Leaf said.
Bulbasaur shot her vines right at Tauros's galloping feet and after a few attemps she wrapped one around its foot and pulled it to the side making Tauros stumble before falling to the ground.
"Now razor leaf!" Leaf said.
Bulbasaur shot her leafs right at Tauros who was getting back to its feet and it groaned.
"Now tackle!" Leaf said.
Bulbasaur shot forward and slammed herself into Tauros's face and made it fall again.
After a moment the referee called "Tauros is unable to battle! This round goes to Bulbasaur!"
"That was fantastic Bulbasaur!" Leaf said happily.
"Bulbasaur!" she said also happy.
"That's one tough Bulbasaur. To be able to get back up after a giga impact is amazing." Layla said.
"Yeah Bulbasaur's one tough girl." Leaf said.
"Well let's see how you do against this. Now Meowth let's go!" Layla said.
"Meowth!" it said.
This pokemon stood on two legs with two wiskers on both sides of its face. It had cream colored fur, black ears, a tail and a gold charm on its head.
"Alright Bulbasaur use vine whip!" Leaf said.
"Aerial ace." Layla said.
Meowth shot forward right through Bulbasaur's vines and slammed into her.
"Razor leaf!" Leaf said.
Bulbasaur quickly fired many leafs at Meowth before it had a change to launch another attack and was hit.
"Come on Meowth use shadow ball!" Layla said.
Meowth jumped away from Bulbasaur before forming a black ball between its paws and hurled it at Bulbasaur who was sent flying.
But Bulbasaur somehow managed to get back on her feet.
"Now slash!" Layla said.
"Tackle!" Leaf called.
Bulbasaur and Meowth both started running towards each other, when Meowth got close it's claw extended and started to glow white before it slashed at Bulbasaur who cried out and tripped before sliding along the ground.
"Bulbasaur is unable to battle! This round goes to Persian!"
"You did great Bulbasaur." Leaf said as she returned her grass type and grabbed her second pokeball and said "now let's go Nidoran!"
"Nido." he said when released.
"Alright Nidoran use horn attack!" Leaf said.
Nidoran took off and ran straight for Meowth with his horn lowered ready to jab Meowth with it but it was very fast as it quickly leapt over him and slashed his back.
"Ran!" Nidoran cried out.
"Again!" Layla said.
Moving quickly Meowth quickly slashed Nidoran again and again making the pink pokemon cry out.
Meowth was snickering but then it started to glow purple and cried out in pain.
"Meowth! What happened?" Layla asked with surprise.
"You just activated Nidoran's ability poison point now your Meowth's going to have to battle while being damaged." Leaf explained.
"Come on Meowth we have to end this quick! Use slash!" Layla said.
Meowth ran forward and tried to slash Nidoran again but it was slower now because of the poison so he was able to dodge it.
"Double kick!" Leaf said.
Nidoran ran forwards and jumped and kicked Meowth twice in the face making it groan.
"Shadow ball!" Layla cried.
"Dodge it!" Leaf cried.
Unfortunately the attack came too fast and Nidoran was hit and cried out but he leapt back up to his feet.
Nidoran growled and opened his mouth and launched a stream of green liquid at Meowth who cried out loudly as the liquid hit it's skin.
"What's that?" Leaf asked before she checked her pokedex.
"Venoshock. When this move hits an opponent who has been poisoned it's power is doubled." her pokedex said.
"Wow. That's great Nidoran!" Leaf said happily.
"Ran."
"Meowth!" the scratch cat pokemon said in a fury.
"Now slash!" Layla said.
Meowth sprinted forward quickly with its claws extended but Nidoran managed to dodge it, just barely.
"Alright Nidoran horn drill!" Leaf said.
Nidoran lowered his head as his horn started spinning and charged forward and hit Meowth's exposed stomach with his spinning horn making it cry out in pain and when Nidoran pulled away fell to the ground.
"Meowth is unable to battle! This match is over and the winner is Leaf Green!" the referee shouted.
"Yes!"Leaf said happily.
"Nidoran!" her poison type said equally as happy as he jumped into her arms.
Leaf left the arena and met up with Dawn, who instantly hugged her happily, and Red, who still had his Pikachu on his shoulder, who gave her a cute smile and a thumbs up.
"You were great Leaf." Dawn said when she released her.
"Ran!" Nidoran said at their feet with a pout he'd helped too hadn't he?
"Your right I'm sorry. You were wonderful too." Dawn said as she scratched his head.
"What did you think Red?" Leaf asked.
"You've gotten stronger then you were back in Pallet." he softly said.
"Thanks. So have you already battled?"
He nodded and scratched Pikachu's head making the little yellow pokemon squeal "cha!" happily.
"So, first rounds done." Leaf said.
"Round number two is tomorrow." Dawn said.
"Can't wait." Leaf said happily.
A/N sorry. I wanted this to be longer but just couldn't do it without dragging it on and on.
Now the Red not speaking when battling. Originally I wanted him to be able to give his orders to his pokemon with his mind (telepathy) but after making a deal with a friend I can now no longer do that.
I plan on having him speak at least once in every chapter he appears in but he's still going to be quiet because he doesn't like to talk.
Now I'm pretty sure that's all I have to say so until we meet again.
Jaffa3 out.
