"You are so lucky that you made it this far," Fate spat. Owen laughed off the jealous comment and continued eating his dinner along with the others.

"So your battle's tonight," Lucy told Owen.

"Yeah, it's the first round of full battles!" Owen cheered, causing the people around to stare at him.

"And you're going to the finals," Janine announced. Owen smiled maniacally, and everyone else cheered.

"Do you have any idea who you're battling?" CJ asked. Owen stopped pounding down his chicken fingers and turned to CJ.

"I have no idea," he replied with his mouth full.

"Your battling Roland," Mint told Owen.

"Who's Roland?" CJ asked. Suddenly, everybody turned to see a huge Squirtle standing by their table.

"Well aren't you the cutest thing!" Fate exclaimed. Owen, Mint, and Lucy all squinted their eyes as they looked at the Squirtle.

"Is that-"

"SQUIRTLE! Let's go!" Roland came running into view and saw Owen sitting at the table. "Fancy seeing you here," Roland said to Owen as he bowed.

"Hey, long time no see. Are you ready for our battle?"

"I hope," Roland said as he angrily watched Squirtle get a bunch of attention from the girls. "I'll see you later." Owen waved to the boy and his Squirtle and continued to pound down his chicken fingers, ready for his battle.

•••

Owen stood in his trainer box with everybody sitting on the bench to the side of the battlefield.

"This is the round of 16! Each trainer will use 6 Pokemon, and may substitute freely! Roland, what kind of field would you like to fight on?" "

"Grass." The field was brought underground, and a grass battlefield was substituted.

Trainers, choose your Pokemon!"

"Go, Jynx!"

"Go, Meganium!"

"The battle will be Jynx vs. Meganium! Begin!"

"Jynx, use Ice Beam!" Jynx hit Meganium with a powerful Ice Beam that caused Meganium to yelp in pain.

"Meganium, use Body Slam!" Meganium belly flopped on Jynx, and slammed the female Pokemon to the ground. "Now use Solarbeam!" Meganium had to charge the attack for a long time because the sun wasn't out.

"Jynx, use Ice Punch!" Just before Meganium released the attack, Jynx punched the grass type in the face, and Meganium swallowed the Solarbeam, and then an explosion occurred. Both Pokemon were knocked out by the powerful energy from the explosion.

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle! Trainers, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Yanmega!" Yanmega looked like a bigger, and more gross version of Yanma.

"Charizard, let's go!"

"The battle will be Yanmega vs. Charizard! Begin!"

"Yanmega use Aerial Ace!" Yanmega soared towards Charizard, who appeared to not be pleased with his opponent.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Charizard charred the bug type Pokemon to the point of where it had ash all over itself. Yanmega dropped to the ground, and let out a weird cry of pain.

"Yanmega, use Bug Buzz!" Owen made a strange face because he had never heard of such a move. Yanmega began to buzz and unleashed red waves of energy towards Charizard who easily dodged the attack, and then spit ember out of his mouth.

"Charizard, Flamethrower!" Charizard showed no mercy, and Yanmega was engulfed in flames, and then knocked out.

"Yanmega is unable to battle! Roland, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Squirtle!"

"Charizard, return. Go, Electabuzz!"

"This battle will be Squirtle vs. Electabuzz! Begin!" Electabuzz growled at Squirtle, remembering the whopping that Squirtle had put on him.

"Electabuzz, use Thunderbolt!" Squirtle dodged the electric attack effortlessly. Electabuzz stomped on the ground angrily as Squirtle prepared to counter attack.

"Squirtle, use Water Gun!" Squirtle shot a Water Gun that was the equivalent of a Hydro Pump. Electabuzz punched the attack with rage, and didn't take any damage.

"Electabuzz, use Brick Break!" Electabuzz charged towards Squirtle with his right arm glowing white. Electabuzz swung at Squirtle, who reacted instantly.

"Ice Punch!" Squirtle blocked the fighting type attack, and both moves cancelled each other out. "Squirtle, return. Go, Breloom!" A strange looking kangaroo like Pokemon appeared.

"Breloom vs. Electabuzz! Begin!"

"Breloom, use Mach Punch!" Breloom sprinted forward with its fist glowing blue.

"Electabuzz, use Thunder Punch!" BOOM! Electabuzz planted his feet into the ground and was pushed back by the explosion. Breloom back flipped, and began bouncing up and down energetically.

"Breloom, use Sky Uppercut!" Breloom uppercut Electabuzz, but it became paralyzed because of Electabuzz' static ability.

"Electabuzz, use Thunder Punch!"

"Breloom, use Seed Bomb!" Another strange move was ordered, and Electabuzz crashed through the attack, and descend on top of Breloom and drilled it in the head. Both Pokemon fainted from exhaustion, and the battle was halfway over.

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle! Trainers, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Arcanine!"

"Go, Typhlosion!"

"This battle will be Arcanine vs. Typhlosion! Begin!

"Arcanine, use Flamethrower!" Arcanine shot a quick breath of fire at Typhlosion, who dove out of the way of the fire type attack.

"You use Flamethrower, Typhlosion!" The same thing happened, but the roles were reversed this time.

"Arcanine, use Extremespeed!" Arcanine checked Typhlosion, which caused the latter of the two too become pissed.

"Typhlosion, use Quick Attack!" Typhlosion slammed into Arcanine, which caused Aracnine to become really angry too.

"Arcanine, use Flare Blitz!"

"Typhlosion, use Flame Wheel!" The moves collided, and the Pokemon fought back and forth. Arcanine prevailed, and hit Typhlosion into the crowd! Blue static appeared around Arcanine, and it winced in pain due to recoil damage.

"Typhlosion is unable to battle! Owen, choose your next Pokemon!" Owen looked up at the giant scoreboard, and both him and Roland had 3 Pokemon left.

"Go, Feraligatr!"

"This battle will be Feraligatr vs. Arcanine! Begin!"

"Aranine, use Extremespeed!"

"Feraligatr, spin 360 degrees and use Hydro Pump!" Owen countered tactically. Arcanine was smacked by the super effective attack, and was knocked backwards.

"Arcanine, use Dig!" Arcanine dug underground, and Owen lost sight of the Pokemon. Arcanine shot up from underneath Feraligatr, and headbutted the water type. "Now use Dig again!" Arcanine dug another hole, and that's when it hit Owen.

"Feraligatr, use Hydro Pump in the hole!" Roland freaked out, and Feraligatr did as he was told. Arcanine was hurled out of the hole with swirls for eyes.

"Arcanine is unable to battle! Roland, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Ursaring!"

"Feraligatr, return. Go, Charizard!"

"This battle will be Charizard vs. Ursaring! Begin!"

"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Charizard fired off a powerful Flamethrower that just missed Ursaring.

"Ursaring, use Shadow Ball!" Ursaring hit Charizard in the wing, and took him out of the air. Ursaring walked towards Charizard, rather slowly. Ursaring stood over Charizard triumphantly, but little did it know that Charizard wanted that to happen.

"Charizard, use Dragon Rage!" Ursaring was knocked back by the powerful attack, and stumbled backwards. "Now use Seismic Toss!" Charizard grabbed Ursaring and went in for the kill. The two spun around in the air and then fell towards the ground. SMACK! Charizard and Ursaring were both knocked out by the deadly attack.

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle! Trainers, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Squirtle!"

"Go, Lickitung!"

"The battle will be Squirtle vs. Lickitung! Begin!"

"Squirtle, use Hydro Pump!" Squirtle nailed Lickitung with the insanely powerful attack.

"Lickitung, use Thunderbolt!" Lickitung stomped on the ground and then let out a powerful Thunderbolt. Squirtle dodged the attack with ease, causing Lickitung to become frustrated.

"Squirtle, use Hydro Spin!" Squirtle began to use Rapid Spin, and then Hydro Pump. Lickitung didn't stand a chance against Squirtle, who knocked out the pink Pokemon in just two shots!

"Lickitung is unable to battle! Owen, choose your las Pokemon!"

"Go, Feraligatr!"

"The final battle will be Feraligatr vs. Squirtle! The winner will move on to the top 8! Begin!"

"Hydro Pump!" both trainers shouted. The moves cancelled one another out, and both fatigued Pokemon looked at one another with a killer intention.

"Squirtle, use Rapid Spin!" Squirtle withdrew into his shell, and it spun towards Feraligatr.

"Feraligatr, catch it with Bite, and then use Ice Beam!" Squirtle was stopped, and then its shell protected it from the Ice Beam. Squirtle retreated back to Roland, and both trainers planned on ending the battle with one last attack.

"ICE PUNCH!" they both screamed in unison. Squirtle and Feraligatr swung at one another and the moves collided. BOOOOOOOOOOM! The smoke left the field, and both Pokemon were staring at one another. Feraligatr and Squirtle grinned at each other slyly, before Feraligatr collapsed.

"Feraligatr is unable to battle! Roland is the winner!" Owen withdrew Feraligatr and hung his head as he walked out of the arena.

"How could this happen again?"

I almost brought back Wartortle to face off with Roland's Squirtle, but that would've been cheap. Anyways, Owen lost again, but this time he was out in the top 16 not the top 8. I will be posting the next chapter within an hour, and the Hoenn adventure may start tonight, but more likely tomorrow. Till next time, I'm out.
