A.N. Hello, friends! Chapter 23, and we're getting closer to the big important part! EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! XD so yea…this might be a little short.
Disclaimer: Pokémon, I don't own.
The tournament progressed on, until…
"Oi, policeboy." Phoenix said, elbowing me in the side. Hareta, Phoenix and I were checking the matchups for the next round of battles. "We're facing each other next."
"What?" I said, looking for my picture on the board. Sure enough, it was connected with a thin red line to Phoenix's picture. "Oh, boy…"
"Better watch out!" She laughed. "Like I said, I won't got easy on you."
I smiled. "Well, I wouldn't expect you to anyway. Who're you facing, Hareta?"
Hareta was examining the board closely. "I'm up against a guy named Fabio. Should be pretty interesting!"
Phoenix nodded. "We'll all do our best, 'kay?"
"Okay!" Hareta cheered.
"Yeah." I said.
"WE'RE GONNA ROCK THIS THING!" Phoenix yelled, waving her hands in the air. "M'kay, I'm going for a walk." She turned around and started walking towards the stadium exit.
"Don't be late!" I yelled after her.
"Why would I?" She yelled back. "I can't wait, Koya!"
"Well, neither can I." I muttered under my breath, already forming a strategy in my mind.
This time, our battle would be different.
A.N. Yeah, this one was really short. I'm sorry about that. But the next one is where things start really getting interesting. Okay? Hopefully that will compensate. Bai for now! -Sniv
