Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!
Bonnie sighed at her luck. Of course she would be battling as the performance event semi-finals were going. She had confidence Serena would win the whole thing, but it still bummed her out to not be able to see the honey-blonde do it. "Well Squishy, what do you say we take this annoying girl down so we can at least catch Max's battle?"
"You seem to be rather close to Max, is there anything I should know about?" Squishy asked in that adorable accent.
Bonnie blushed as she waved her arms frantically. "There is nothing to know! We're just friends!" she screamed, stepping out into the field to see Georgia standing across from her, looking rather cocky if the blonde was asked.
One of the bots explained the rules before Georgia pulled a pokeball from her belt. "You and your dragons better give this dragon buster a good show, blondie. Let's go Beartic!" The polar bear-like Pokémon roared a challenge.
Bonnie rolled her eyes at the flamboyant display before grabbing her bag around. "Well she wants a dragon type." The blonde shrugged. Squishy leaped from Bonnie's bag and glowed, ending in his 50% form.
"Battle Begin!" the bot declared.
"Bertic, Ice Beam!" Georgia called immediately. The freezing Pokémon opened its mouth as the pale blue ball of energy built up.
Bonnie sighed. Not that old tactic. she thought dryly. "Use Land's Wrath." she ordered lazily. The ground began shaking, breaking Beartic's concentration and knocking it flat on it's back.
"Grr. Use Focus Blast!" an annoyed Georgia ordered as soon as the ground stopped shaking. Beartic got to its feet and did as instructed, firing the orb of energy and striking Squishy, dealing a considerable amount of damage.
"You alright?" Bonnie asked, doing her best to keep the worry out of her voice.
"Fine. Shall we use Thousand Arrows?" The order Pokémon suggested. Bonnie nodded and Squishy leaped into action. Projectiles shot from everywhere on the giant green Pokémon's back.
"Beartic, get out of there!" The dragon buster called in panic. It wouldn't do her any good as her Pokémon was struck the arrows, staggering but standing.
"End this with Dragonbreath." Bonnie ordered lazily. Squishy fired the attack, easily knocking the ice type out.
"Beartic is unable to battle, Squishy wins!" The bot declared.
"Beartic return." Georgia called, her partner vanishing into the pokeball. "You did great, we'll get em next time." she whispered, watching Squisy dissolve back into his core form.
Bonnie rubbed her legendary's head happily. "Awesome Squishy, you get some rest in case I need you later." she cooed. Squishy nodded and hopped onto a nearby rock, absorbing the sun's rays. "Dedenne, time to wake up." Bonnie declared, shaking the small Pokémon still in her bag.
Dedenne yawned before looking at his trainer. "Do I gotta?" he asked sleepily, eyes still half-closed.
"If you do I'll make some of your favorite macarons." Bonnie bribed. I've really got to do something about this gluttonous streak of his sometime.
"Ready, willing, and able boss!" Dedenne cheered loudly, hopping to the field as Georgia called out her Bisharp.
Five minutes and the battle was back on. "Alright Bisharp, start this off with Metal Sound!" Georgia ordered. Bisharp clanged her arm blades together, the sound making both Bonnie and her antenna Pokémon cover their ears. "Alright, now use Iron Head!" Bisharp's head blade began to glow a shiny steel color as she rushed her opponent.
"Dedenne, dodge and use Attract!" Bonnie ordered quickly. Having heard his trainer over the ringing in his ears, he sidestepped the attack and winked at the passing Bisharp, causing her eyes to go heartshaped as she cooed over the tiny electric-and-fairy type with words that made Bonnie blush red as a tomato. "N-now use Play Rough!" Bonnie ordered. Dedenne, blushing about as much as his trainer as Bisharp continued about how the two of them could go somewhere private after the match, immediately did as his trainer ordered if only to shut the dark-and-steel type up.
"Snap out of it Bisharp!" Georgia snapped. "Use Metal Claw!" Bisharp was unresponsive as Dedenne kept beating on her until she was unconscious.
"Bisharp is unable to battle. Dedenne is the winner!" The bot declared.
Georgia recalled her fallen Pokémon and whispered some comforting words as she glared across the field. "No way am I letting some brat make a fool out of me. Vanilluxe, let's take them down!" The snowstorm Pokémon let out a happy coo as it appeared. Another five minutes passed and the battle resumed. "Alright Vanilluxe, Mirror Shot!" Georgia ordered smugly.
That's a steel type move! Bonnie internally panicked. "Dedenne, dodge that!" she ordered aloud. As fast as the gluttonous Pokémon was, Vanilluxe was faster as the attack hit home, the super-effective move knocking the small rodent-like Pokémon out instantly.
"Dedenne is unable to battle, Vanilluxe wins!" The bot declared.
Bonnie picked the unconscious Pokémon up and set him in her bag. "Take a good rest. I'll cook those macarons later." she promised before walking back to her box and reaching for a luxury ball on her belt. "Let's end this Yui!" she called, throwing the ball to reveal a flareon.
Looking around for a moment, the flame Pokémon spotted the blonde and smiled. "Mommy!" she cheered, hopping into Bonnie's arms and nuzzling into her chest. "Does this mean I get to help you today?" Yui asked excitedly.
"Yep, then we're gonna go watch Daddy win his match." Bonnie replied, smiling at the "daughter" she and Max had raised when they found her egg a couple years ago. That was also about when people started picking fun at them now that the blonde thought about it. Yui jumped from her mother's arms and glared at the ice type across from her. The battle resumed and Bonnie didn't waste any time. "Use Fire Fang!" Yui's mouth was set ablaze as she charged.
"Use Protect!" Georgia ordered, her Pokémon surrounding itself with a dome of energy that easily deflected the attack. "Now use Blizzard!" Vanilluxe exhaled, its straw and mouths blowing the freezing air and snow
"Use Flame Charge to block it, then hit with Iron Tail!" Bonnie ordered, hoping the fire type could hear her over the winds and the cheering crowd.
Yui heard her as she surrounded herself in flames, her bushy yellow tail glowing a steely silver as she charged through the blizzard. "Take this!" she called, slamming her tail into her opponent. Vanilluxe staggered but remained upright as it waited for another order from its trainer.
"End this with Mirror Shot!" Georgia ordered, her Pokémon soaring high before firing the shot.
"Block it with Ember!" Bonnie ordered. Sure it was a relatively weak attack, but it was Yui's favorite and the kid had mastered the art of puppy-dog eyes. The flareon exhaled, small flames matching each shot and causing them to explode in midair. One managed to strike the still shooting ice type Pokémon, dealing damage but not finishing the job.
That was about when the burn from Flame Charge kicked in, knocking the snowstorm Pokémon out. "No!" Georgia snarled.
"Vanilluxe is unable to battle, Yui wins! Which means the match goes to Bonnie." the bot declared as the flareon in question hopped into her mother's arms.
"We did it Mommy!" she cheered, nuzzling into her mother's chest again.
"We sure did, sweetheart." Bonnie giggled. "Come on, let's go see your dad's match." she declared, turning and leaving the arena.
...
Max gritted his teeth angrily. Iris was proving to be a problem with that Dragonite, even if it was her last Pokémon since he had taken Axew and Excadrill with little problem. Of course now that damn Dragonite had taken out both Sacar and Cutter (His Scizor) and now he was down to his last Pokémon. Normally he would use Yui, but it was Bonnie's turn to watch her so that meant only one option was left. He unclipped the master ball around his neck and took a deep breath as he enlarged it. "Alright Jirachi, let's do this!" he called. The wish Pokémon appeared, rubbing her eyes sleepily before seeing Iris. The psychic and steel type instantly woke up, glaring both trainer and Pokémon down.
"Oh come on! Does everyone living on this island have a legendary Pokémon on them?" Iris snapped, understandably peeved about the seeming abundance of legendary and mythic Pokémon appearing in this tournament.
"Nah. Just me, Ash, Andre, and Bonnie." Max admitted. "All the others weren't interested, although I've heard Brock was considering going to see if Uxie was interested." Five minutes passed and Max noticed Bonnie and Yui waving at him before the battle restarted. "Alright Jirachi, use Future Sight to start things off!" The wish Pokémon nodded, shooting a beam of light into the sky.
"Don't give that attack a chance to hit! Use Flamethrower." Iris ordered. Dragonite nodded, shooting a jet of flames from his mouth and striking his opponent with the super effective move.
"Jirachi!" Max called in worry.
Iris laughed. "You called out a steel type to fight my Dragonite when he already took out that dumb bug of yours? What a little kid." she taunted. "Alright, now use Dragon Rush!"
"Dazzling Gleam!" Max ordered angrily. Both Pokémon were encased in a colorful aura, dashing toward each other. Thankfully, the fairy type attack canceled out the dragon type one and Jirachi landed the super effective move before Future Sight struck. Dragonite endured the hits, but it was close. "End this with Icy Wind!" Max called triumphantly.
"Dragonite, Flamethrower!" Iris countered. Both attacks met in the middle, but Dragonite was still weak from the double dose of powerful attacks and his attack was pushed back, the ice type attack knocking him out.
"Dragonite is unable to battle, Jirachi wins! Which means the match goes to Max!" James declared happily.
"Who's a little kid now?" Max mocked, cradling his Pokémon with a smug grin. Iris only glared at him as he left the stadium.
The bespectacled ravenette was instantly tackled by his best friend and daughter. "That was amazing Daddy! You and Auntie Jirachi were so cool!" the Yui declared.
And done. I know the intro of Yui is kinda sudden, but I got bored and figured why the hell not? Next up is the battle between Clemont and Trip, and possibly probably a bit of interesting stuff after. How will the battle go? Will Clemont prevail or will he be defeated by Ash's Unova rival? The answers to come, as the journey continues.
