Gym battle with a twist.

Hikaru's Pov:

We reached the gym to find out that it was closed. I asked the nearest person where the gym leader was, she told me that she was at the contest building, acting as one of the judges.

"Oh boy." I said, after I thanked the lady. "I get to watch a pokemon contest." Heavy sarcasm dripped with each word spoken.

Jonny looked at me. "It can't be that bad." He assured, a smile creeping on his face.

"Yes it can." I argued, sticking out my tongue. "Have you ever seen a contest before?"

Both guys shook their heads, I sighed. "Good, because neither have I." Soon, we had reached the building. It was big with a ribbon on the front of it. I heard applause coming from inside. "I guess it has already started, hopefully it's almost the end." I entered, a woman at the front desk told me that the contest was half way done. I inwardly smiled, as we entered the stadium. I gaped at the size of it, I thought I was big on the outside, but inside it was huge. We found seats in the middle, just as a girl finished her performance with a piplup.

"Next up is Sarah, who is the last competitor, until we move on to the next round." The female announcer proclaimed. The girl stepped up, and I guess the routine she did was good, but I just thought it was weird, showing off a pokemon's cute side.

Jonny nudged me and pointed at one of the judges. "That's the gym leader, Fantina." I looked more closely at the woman. She wore a floor length dark sparkly purple dress, and had a crazy hair style, that I could not describe.

"She looks..." I started, but could not find the words to describe her.

"Crazy?" Paul offered.

I laughed. "Maybe." We watched several more battles, until the final battle. A boy name Rusty won the ribbon, even I thought he did good. I was relieved that it was over, but when I was about to get up, the gym leader had an announcement to make;

"Ze contestz, today was amazing wasn't it?" Fantina declared, in a French accent, making the crowd roar with excitement. She held her free hand up, and they quietened down. "Would you guyz like to zee anuzzer battle?" The crowd went wild, screaming and yelling yes, and I had a bad feeling about this.

"Very well, Iz a girl here named Hikaru here?"

I glared at Jonny. "Did you tell her my name?" I demanded, he smiled mischievously, and I knew he had.

"Zee iz not here?" Fantina asked as she and the crowed looked around.

I sighed and stood up, and let out Ace. "Take me down to the stage." I ordered climbing on him. He took off and landed on the stage. Fantina looked at me and smiled as I jumped down, and returned Ace.

"I am here." I said, a little bit nervous that a lot of people were looking at me, not to mention that I was on the TV too.

"Do you mind having a gym battle here? Everyone would love it." Fantina beamed. The crowd started chanting 'Do it', over and over again.

"Sure." I agreed managing a smile. Piko sighed and shook his head, but looked ready for battle.

"Parfait." Fantina said. A referee came onto the stage/battle ground, and said his usual- three on three battle, Fantina smiled and held out her pokeball. "I will zart first, go, duskull!" She danced while releasing her pokemon; a ghost pokemon with a skull for a face.

I smiled more confidently and looked at Piko who nodded. "Lets do it Piko!" I cried, Piko jumped down in front of me, cheeks sparkling with electricity.

Fantina looked at me with raised eyebrows. "Uzually challengerz send out dark types first." She said.
I shrugged. "I like to be challenged."

"You will be challenged." Fantina promised. "Enough talking, letz get to battling, zadow ball!" She called out.

"Use agility to dodge then use Thunderbolt!"

Duskull fired a shadow ball right at Piko, who disappeared and reappeared to the left, and electricity fired from his body, heading towards duskull.

"Do you think that will be easy?" Fantina tsked, "Dodge, then uze confuzion." Duskull dodged the thunderbolt, and his eyes turned blue. Before I could utter any commands, Piko's eyes swirled.

"Crap, you ok Piko?" I asked, Piko just stumbled around.

Fantina smiled. "Now, uze zadow ball encore." Duskull fired another shadow ball at Piko.

I gritted my teeth. "Piko, if you can hear me, spin around and use thunder shock!" Piko did unleash a thunder shock, but not how I had planned. Thunder fired randomly, while Piko spun, it managed to hit the shadow ball back to duskull, doing damage with it being encased in electricity.

"Piko return." I called, as Piko staggered to where I was, and sat down by my side, still confused. Fantina looked at me with one eyebrow raised, I shrugged. "I didn't want to lose Piko that quickly." I grabbed a pokeball. "Ace, you're up."

"Bien, bien, you're a thoughtful trainer, alwayz looking out for her pokemon." Fantina praised, as the referee started the next battle.

"Thanks, now aerial ace!" I started off the battle, Ace surrounded himself with a white light and flew fast to duskull.

"Zadow ball!"

Duskull was gathering a shadow ball, when Ace hit, causing critical damage. 'One more hit.' I thought, as I watched duskull struggle to get up.

"Will-O-Wisp!" Fantina cried, dancing around again, as the crowd applauded. I blocked them out, trying to concentrate on the battle.

"Dodge using agility to get close to him, then use brave bird!" I called calmly, despite the millions of people watching me.

Ace disappeared and reappeared for several times as will-o-wisp chased him around, until he got close enough, then a blue-ish white light surround him, as he hit duskull, rendering him unconscious.

"You're a very bien trainer." Fantina grinned, recalling her pokemon, then grabbing another. "Letz zee how you will deal with this one, go drifblim!" She released a purple balloon-like pokemon in front of her.

I pulled out my 'Dex, because I had never seen one before.

'Drifblim, the Blimp Pokémon. Because it travels on wind currents, Drifblim's movements are unusual and unpredictable.'

"Ok, this will be fun." I said to myself, then looked at Ace. "Ace, you ok?" I asked, knowing he had taken damage from the previous battle.

"I'm fit to go." He assured, as the referee started the second battle.

"Gust!" Both of us yelled at the same time, then looked at each other before bursting out in laughter, everyone just stared at us bewildered. Our pokemon glanced at us before using gust at each other, creating a small tornado.

At this I got an idea. "Use gust harder, then use air slash!"

Ace flapped harder, his wings glowing blue as he used air slash on the tornado, hitting drifblim.
Fantina looked at me with amazement. "Have you ever considered being in contestz?"

I shuddered, and grimaced at the same time. "No, I'm really NOT into contests, I like adventures and battles."

"If you ever change your mind, you know where to find mwa." Fantina said doing another dance,

"Now back to ze battle, drifblim use thunderbolt!"

Before I could say dodge, drifblim shocked Ace, knocking him unconscious, I recalled him. "You did good, now take a nice long rest." I looked at drifblim first, he was breathing heavily, only a few more attacks, then I looked down at Piko. "You ready?" I asked.

Piko nodded, the confusion wearing off. "Yep, lets bring it!" He cheered, running out into the field.

Both pokemon stared at each other, waiting for us to make our commands.

"Thunderbolt!" Both of us said in unison again, this time we only giggled. They released their thunderbolts at the same time, canceling each other out.

"Hidden power!"

"Dodge with double agility!" I yelled, Fantina looked at me with confusion. I smiled. "Double team, mixed with agility!"

"You are already uzing combinationz in your attackz?" She asked, as Piko used double team, dodging the hidden power with agility.

I shrugged. "It's not that hard, you just got to figure out the right combinations." I saw that Piko had gotten close to drifblim. "Volt tackle!" I ordered with a smirk. Piko didn't have to run that very far, he encased himself in electricity, and tackled drifblim, knocking him unconscious.

Fantina returned her pokemon, whispering words of encouragement before putting it away. She grabbed her last pokemon. "I haff zaved the bezt for lazt." She said, dancing longer this time before calling out; "Letz do ziz with style, mismagius!" A purple pokemon came out, she wore a hat like a witch and had a flowy skirt, with three gems on her middle. I pulled out my 'Dex again to scan this one.
'Mismagius, the Magical Pokémon. Mismagius chants incantations, and while some cause misery, some give happiness as well.'

'Oh joy.' I thought as I looked at her, then at Piko, who was breathing heavily, hopefully he could get her health down before he collapsed.

"Psywave!"

"Thunder wave!"

Mismagius charged and let loose a purple wave heading towards Piko. He also charged and released an electric wave, they collided, parts of each hitting both pokemon.

"Now use magical leaf!" Fantina shouted

"Crap." I said to myself, as glowing green leaves appeared. "Use thunder shock like a shield and surround yourself, try and hit mismagius too!"

Piko kept spinning around in circles, with electricity around him like a shell. It grew bigger, but several magic leaves managed to hit him, knocking him unconscious back in my arms, not before he took some more health of mismagius

"You did good buddy, now you can rest for a while." I said putting him on my shoulder and pulling out a pokeball. "I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but you forced my hand." I said, "Come on out Sole!" I almost yelled, Sole came out, looking for a good battle.

"I waz beginning to wonder if you would have a dark type." Fantina said smirking.

"Of course." I replied, and the last battle started.

"Magical leaf!"

"Blizzard!"

Fantina's jaw dropped a little, when mismagius' leaves were frozen and dropped to the ground by the blizzard, that was now covering the field.

I smiled. "Use dark pulse, then follow it by night slash!"

Sole, using the blizzard as a cover, fired a dark pulse in her direction, then, running towards her, his paw glowed dark purple.

"Use Will-o-wisp!"

Mismagius manage to block the dark pulse, but not the night slash, she was almost out.

"Bite!"

"Hidden power!"

While Sole was still near, he bit down on her neck. She hit him with hidden power, knocking him backwards. It looked like she could still go, but then fainted, leaving me the winner. I jumped in the air and ran over to Sole, squealing as I went.

Fantina smiled as she recalled her pokemon, she came over to me, while I was hugging Sole. "Wazn't that a parfait battle?" She asked, speaking into a mic, the crowd agreed. "Here iz the Relic badge, proof that you have defeated me." Fantina handed me her badge, I refrained from doing my strange pose this time, because there was a crowd, so I happily took it and placed it in my case.

Everyone left, I had managed to escape without too much trouble. I noticed the sun was setting, as we reached the pokemon center.

"I guess we can head out for Oreburgh City tomorrow." I commented as we ate in the dinning hall.

"I am going to Snowpoint City." Paul stated, I was a little saddened about this. Jonny looked relieved that he was going away. We finished our dinner, and said our goodbyes, as we went to our room. I got the bathroom first, and took a quick shower. After releasing my pokemon, I crawled into my bed, said goodnight to Jonny who was already in his bed, and immediately fell asleep.
