And for our 4th battle today we have Jamie from Blackthorn City vs. Lyra from New Bark Town!
Jamie and Lyra stood across from each other on the battlefield.
"Time to see what Jamie's made off." Ash said to himself.
And now let the battle begin!
"Chikorita, let's go!" Yelled Lyra as her 1st pokemon took the field. Jamie took out a ball and threw it onto the field.
"Quilava, go time."
Jamie sent his volcano pokemon into the battle.
"So it's Chikorita vs. Quilava." Said Brock.
"This battle has got me so pumped! I can't wait to see how Jamie battles." Yelled Ash.
Chikorita, use tackle!
Chikorita charged strait toward its fiery opponent.
Flamethrower!
Quilava shot a wave of fire from its mouth and scorched Chikorita.
Chikorita is unable to battle, Quilava is the winner! The crowd erupted as Lyra retuned her grass partner.
"Wow, with just 1 attack." Said Dawn in shock.
"I know that there are a lot of strong trainers here, but I guess now that he's 1 of them." Said the breeder.
"We'd better watch out for that guy." Said Gary.
Tyler just sat there sulking as everyone forgot that he beat an elite 4 member and no one considers him a threat. He shook his thoughts out of his mind and turned his attention back to the battle.
"Come on out Girafarig!" Called Lyra. Her 2nd pokemon took its spot.
Use psybeam!
Girafarig shot a pink beam from its horns.
Dodge it!
Quilava quickly jumped to the side.
Use flamethrower!
Quilava shot its fire attack again.
Quick use light screen!
Girafarig created a cube/crystal like barrier that defended it from the flames. Jamie grit his teeth.
Now confuse ray!
Use crush claw!
Quilava tried to execute its attack, but the confusion stopped it him thinking straight.
"Errrrrr, Quilava return." Jamie said solemnly.
"So Jamie is switching pokemon." Said May.
"Let's see what else he's got." Ash said as everyone looked to see Jamie's next choice.
"Honchcrow your turn!" Jamie said as he threw out his 2nd pokemon.
Use night slash!
Counter with double hit!
Honchcrow and Girafarig charged towards each other and collided in the centre of the battlefield. Honchcrow flew back into the air as Girafarig struggled to stay on its feet.
Hit it with dark pulse!
Honchcrow let loose a beam of purple rings that landed a direct hit on the side of Girafarig's body. After the smoke cleared it lied on the ground, motionless.
"Girafarig is unable to battle, Honchcrow is the winner!" Called the official. Lyra was down to her last pokemon while Jamie still had 3 of his. Lyra, still determined to win picked her last ball and throw it out on the field.
"Maril it's up to you!" She yelled as her water pokemon took its place.
"Honchcrow return." Said Jamie with a big smirk as he recalled the big boss pokemon. He grabbed another off his belt and threw it.
"Electabuzz, you're up!" The electric pokemon took its position on the battle field.
"So it's down to Maril vs. Electabuzz." Said Iris.
"Jamie has the advantage at this point. It's going to be really hard for Maril to defeat Electabuzz, let alone his Quilava and Honchcrow." Said Brock.
"It looks like Jamie totally has this battle!" Yelled Max.
Maril use watergun!
Maril shot a stream of water from its mouth.
Use thunder!
Electabuzz blocked the water and sent a powerful electric current at the small water type.
Finish it with thunderpunch!
Electabuzz's fist started to spark with electricity and gave a shocking punch to the helpless water type.
"Maril is unable to battle, Electabuzz is the winner and the victory goes to Jamie from Blackthorn city!" Announced the ref as he made his official call.
"He took that match 3-0 ." Said Misty.
"Poor Lyra. Said Dawn.
"Man is he strong. I can't wait to battle that guy!" announced Ash.
"I hate to admit it, but he has the right to be cocky. But I still don't like it." Said Gary.
"Like you were any different through Kanto" replied Ash
"Your brother is pretty strong Tyler." Tracey said as he looked at him.
"He may be good, but he has a lot further to go." He said.
Here are the results from the day 7 matches!
Cynthia
Chris
Lucian
Jamie
Cilan

"I had no doubt that Cynthia was going to win." Said Dawn happily.
"Isn't she the Sinnoh region champion? She will be a hard opponent to beat." Said Max.
"Hey Tyler, what do you say to… Tyler? Where are you?" Ash notice that Tyler was missing from the group. They just assumed that he had already gone off to the pokemon centre, so they all decided to do the same.
"Ha! Piece of cake." Jamie was walking down the path to the pokemon centre. The sky was dark and the street lights lit up the night. He was walking while thinking of his recent battle victory. "I'm going to win this tournament even if I have to…?" Jamie's train of thought was interrupted be another winning trainer.
"Don't act so smug. It's not like you beat anyone who was a recognized powerful trainer." Said Tyler as he finally found his brother.
He responded to say. "Maybe… not yet." He turned to face his rival and brother. The 2 of them were just staring at each other refusing to say anything.
"It looks like you've made some new friends." Jamie said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, there a pretty friendly group. Anyway I know that you've beaten me in all of our regional league entries, but I plan to beat you in this one."
"You've never been able to do it before. What makes you think that you can now?"
"Because this time, I've got a secret weapon. One that you haven't even seen before."
"Unlikely. If you had some kind of power, you would have won by now. But since it's never happened I'm assuming you're bluffing."
"I'll show you in the tournament. Good luck to you in the rounds to come." Said Tyler as he walked off. Jamie watched him has he had another thought come to mind.
"You're the one who is going to need it. I happen to have a secret of my own."
