Sorry that this was such a long wait. It's just that I've been held up by three things:

A) The freaking 'I' key on my computer is playing up and it's so sticky, which makes it 3x as hard to type than it normally is, because it's always there and I'm always focusing on it which really pisses me off.

B) This was a pretty long chapter, and a lot was going on (The POV's for this ep are all over the place!)

C) I've been getting the molds for my braces fitted, and the rubber bands they put in to expand the gap between my teeth are so irritating!

Well, enough excuses. It's time to get onto the episode!


Episode 51 – Lilly's Formidable Rage

We were all (except for Rosion and Cheren) in the Pokemon Centre Operating Room, where we all looked down at Servine in worry.

"Servine shouldn't have even been moving or talking today, taking her to that battle was a mistake," Nurse Joy explained to me.

"I know, but, Servine only cheered because she wanted me to win. She just, loves battling so much. I'd hate to take her out of it…" I muttered as I looked down at Servine. You could hear her heartbeat on one of those machines, and she was unconscious on the bed. She had an oxygen mask over her little mouth, and all of us were thinking the same thing.

"Will she make it?" May asked sadly.

"Most likely not…" Nurse Joy sighed as she looked down at the Grass Snake Pokemon. Cubchoo was looking down at her in worry, she didn't want her best friend to pass on.

"Come on Servine, remember all the good times we had, all the great wins. All of our triumphs…" I muttered as I looked down at her. "Please." Suddenly her heart rate was rising, until it was at a rapid speed. But then all of a sudden a small hospital in-room alarm was sounding.

"No, no, we can't lose her now!" Nurse Joy cried as she started to click some buttons on a computer.

"What do we do?!" I shrieked in panic. The alarm kept sounding and her heart rate was rising until…

The only thing I heard was (hospital style) BEEEEEEEEEEPPP. I looked at the machine and saw a flat line, and suddenly everything in my world started to close in, and I felt everything rush to me. All of a sudden, I heard James Bond, Skyfall, music being played.

"This is the end. Hold your breathe and countto ten."

"Feel the Earth move and then"

"Hear my heart bursssst, again…"

"For this is the end-"

"Oh shut up!" I roared to the person playing it on their ePod. I rushed over to Servine and preyed over my Pokemon, who was lying flat on the bed, dead… A tear rolled down my eye and cheek before it splashed against Servine. Suddenly, the memory of all our battles came back to me…


"Pidove, rock and roll!" I screamed as my pokeball hurdled through the air.

"Dove!" Pidove chirped as it entered, the white light swirling around its wings.

"Now blow out the fire with Gust!" I exclaimed, and Pidove immediately started blowing a ferocious wind that immediately put out the flames on both Snivy and the tree. Snivy was black, and had been burnt to a crisp. Here was my chance to catch it.

"Rock and roll pokeball!" I shouted as my pokeball rocketed through the air and tapped Snivy on the head. Snivy was zapped in by a red light and the pokeball rocked a few times, but stopped on the fourth. It clicked, so I rushed over to pick it up. I looked at the pokeball, I had really caught it...


"Rock Wrecker!" Snivy ran forward, still slapping Dwebble, who was just managing to form a rock in front of it. Dwebble then threw the red glowing rock and Snivy, who was shocked by the overwhelming size of it.

"Pull it forward!" I shouted and then Snivy wrapped the vines around Dwebble, successfully and pulled it forward. It then joined Snivy in the collision of Rock Wrecker. Another explosion was made and this time, through the smoke only one figure was left standing. Max looked closer and as the smoke finally lifted, Max saw the winning Pokemon.

"Dwebble is unable to battle; therefore the winner of this round is Snivy!" Max announced.


Then the Virbank Gym battle came to my mind, then the Driftveil Gym Battle and also, when Snivy evolved miraculously into Servine. I snapped out of my daze to see that Servine was being electrified by Nurse Joy, who was trying to restart Servine's heart.

"COME ON SERVINE!" I roared. I looked up to god, and I started to pray as hard as I could. He must help Servine, her life can't end so early… "Servine, come back to me…"


Servine's POV:


I was floating in the air, and I looked down to see my body dead on the bed.

"No, my time hasn't come yet!" I screeched but suddenly, before I knew it, I was in the cloud and heading towards a bright light. But then I saw the best thing imaginable…

"Mew," the mythical Legendary Mew whispered. "I am the God of all Pokemon." I looked around frantically to see that we were suddenly in front of massive gold gates that had 'Heaven' in gold across the top of the arch.

"Oh thank god I didn't go to hell," I sighed.

"Don't use that offensive language near me! I only brought you here to see if you wanted another chance, but now I'm thinking that maybe I was wrong in offering that to you." Mew started to float away.

"Wait!" I cried as I chased after it. "I do deserve another chance, I'm sorry. You see, I never got to test out my newly evolved powers, and I never got to experience the battles that I wanted to. I still wanted to battle so much more, bond so much more and become so much more."

"Ehh, it's a good enough excuse for me," Mew sighed as suddenly, I dropped from the sky and I went soaring through the clouds, before I saw Zynera City again. I slammed against the Pokemon Centre's roof and I blacked out, before, seeing the beautiful light of day again…


Back to Nick's POV:


"I can't believe that it's over," I said with a tear in my eye. I couldn't stand looking at Servine, so I ran out of the room crying, but as I looked around one last time to see my Servine, I saw her eyes slowly, slowly lifting. "SERVINE!" I smashed through the door and grabbed Servine, hugging her.

"How could you be hugging a dead corpse," May squealed with shivers running up her spine.

"Servine's alive, and healthy," I told them as I lifted away from my Pokemon. All of their faces lit up and they saw Servine's eyes half open.

"Servine!" Skyla shrieked.

"But how…?" Max asked.

"The heavens!" I replied happily as I hugged Servine again.

"There's no time to celebrate, we need to get Servine under care immediately," Nurse Joy warned me as she hooked Servine back up to all of the crazy hospital equipment again.

"I understand, just make sure Servine stays alive this time," I told her as I let go of Servine and then walked out of the room again, heading over to the Pokemon Centre café for dinner.

"Wait up!" May screamed excitedly as she ran after me, wanting food as usual...


"So Nurse Joy, who'll be watching Servine while you're at the Pokemon Contest?" I asked Nurse Joy as all of us (May, Max, Skyla, Nurse Joy and I) were walking over towards the Contest Stadium. The contest was going to begin in about half an hour and Nurse Joy, along with May, both needed to get ready.

"Oh, I have some assistant nurses watching over her. Along with Audino," she replied. We walked into the contest hall and after separating from Nurse Joy and May, we entered the main arena and found or seats.


May's POV:


I walked into the coordinator Dressing Room after getting dressed in my normal, knee high skirt that had pink frilling half way down where my boobs were. There was a blue gem below that with yellow curves spiraling out of that. It was an emblem. But as soon as I entered my eyes dashed over to the sight of Lilly.

"Oh no. You're in this contest," Lilly spat as she walked towards me.

"I could say the same about you," I replied coldly. "I haven't seen you since the Wallace Cup, where I DID apologize you know."

"You changed me for the better May, why would I want to become that wimp again? Besides, you, hurt me. You're not a friend," She hissed and walked through the door and went stomping down the hallway. I whipped my head away from her and started to approach the front of the crowd of coordinators, where I looked up at the screen where it showed all of the performances. The contest was about to begin. But I heard high heels clomping against the floor so I turned around, and saw Amelia enter!

"Amelia!" I called out to her. I saw her wearing her usual sea blue dress, with a white ribbon tied around her waist. I looked down to see her high heels which were also the same blue, with little white ribbons attached to the toe part of the shoes. I then looked up at her young face to see her pink hair tied up highly, and it seems as though she had straightened it to become a slightly waved ponytail. She also had a few strands of hair that were let down at the front too, and they curved around the left side of her face.

"May…" she greeted me.

"Hey! I saw that you got your third ribbon! But I also saw that match against Casey, sorry for your loss…" I muttered as I frowned.

"Oh. You saw that?" she questioned me.

"Yeah, I saw it being repeated yesterday on Coordinator T.V," I explained.

"Right." The roughly 19-year old and I walked up and looked to the screen, to see Rosion starting to speak. This was it. I'm sure that this is where I get my fourth ribbon!


Back to Nick's POV… Again:


"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Zynera City Pokemon Contest!" Rosion announced as the contest began. "Today, our coordinators will be fighting for the Zynera Ribbon!" Rosion held up the sky blue ribbon with white streaks going through the middle, and waved it over towards the crowd. "Now, to introduce today's judges! We have the one and only Done George from the Zynera City Battle Club!" Don George got up and put his two hands together like a Hindu, before bowing to the crowd. "And then we have the one and only Kelly Kenton!" Kelly got up in her usual way and waved wildly at the crowd. "And finally, our Zynera City Nurse Joy!" Nurse Joy simply sat in her chair and softly waved at the crowd. "So, let's let this contest get underway. Please welcome our first contestant: Lilly!" Lilly started to sprint onto the stage with a smirked look on her face and a pokeball in her hand.

"Alright Zebstrika, show them the power of an Electric-Type!" Lilly exclaimed as she threw her pokeball into the air.

"Strika!" Zebstrika hissed as she came out onto the battlefield, and stomped her hooves against the ground.

"Zebstrika, start with Shock Wave!" Lilly ordered her Pokemon. Zebstrika's mane started to turn yellow, along with all of the other white stripes on her body. Zebstrika then slammed her hooves against the ground and suddenly, a massive wave of electricity appeared and shot out from around her body like a dome. But, it went up into the crowd and electrified all of us!

"Shocking…" Rosion sighed as she fell over. "But, powerful, the crowd will definitely tell you that!"

"Now Zebstrika, a play of beauty…" Lilly murmured and although we didn't know what she meant, Zebstrika knew exactly what she meant.

"Zeb-strika!" Zebstrika screeched as all of her white stripes and mane started to shine yellow again, but this time, a whole lot of electric yellow shards exploded off of Zebstrika's body.

"That's Magnet Rise," Max analyzed. Suddenly Zebstrika then shot up a massive bolt of lightning, which was Thunderbolt, but it stranded out and hit each and every one of the little shards. In a burst of electricity they all became massive stars and flowers of lighting, and they shone beautifully over Zebstrika!

"Now finish, Flame Charge!" Lilly instructed her Zebstrika as she suddenly burst into flames, the roaring fire causing all of the floating objects to get pulled down to the ground, exploding into little sparkles as they did so. As the fire was extinguished, the performance was over and Lilly ran off stage with compliments.

"What a stunning display of power, beauty and excellence!" Rosion screamed. I knew that May would be gritting her teeth at that comment, but she still had a long time to wait until her performance came…


"And Amelia is our 16th competitor today, out of the 30 glorious competitors we have!" Rosion declared as Amelia ran out onto the stage.

"Alright Leavanny, enter please!" Amelia called as she threw out a pokeball.

"Lea-vanny!" Leavanny cried as she came out of her pokeball, the blue and white light shining against her body.

"Now it's time to use Leaf Storm!" Amelia told her Pokemon. Leavanny threw her hands up in the air, and leaves were suddenly starting to be summoned by the Forest God. She was soon surrounded with them and when Leavanny started to spin, all of the leaves fired off of her and took to the skies where they started to dance around, flying above people's heads and they also made formations. One was of Leavanny dancing and another was of a Sewaddle, probably Leavanny reminiscing the old days… "Leaf Blade!"

"Lea! Lea! Lea-vanny!" Leavanny called as her arms lengthened and turned green before slashing up all of the sculptures angrily, and the big screen showed a close up of Amelia, and she was gritting her teeth... angrily? But why? "Vanny!" Just before Leavanny slashed the last sculpture it suddenly turned into a man, who I somewhat recognized but she was so quick that the man was shattered into hundreds of sliced up leaves in seconds. Leavanny jumped back down to the ground and the camera then went over for a top view, and on the big screen it showed that all of the fallen leaves made a broken heart. What is Amy up to…?


Amy's Thoughts/Flashback:


I can't believe that bastard, Trent. This performance is inspired to him… That day, why'd the hell I do that…?

"Darmanitan, faster!" I ordered Darmanitan who was galloping throughout the fields of Route 7.

"Land!" we heard a Pokemon cry. We both looked up at Twist Mountain to see that the twerp – Nick – and his Servine had nailed Landorus with a Leaf Blade. We then looked down at the reason why we were here, that bloody bastard Trent.

"Get on," I instructed him as I held my hand out. The badly injured and scared Trent looked at me weirdly before grasping my hand and getting on.

"Why are you here, why are you saving me?" he asked awkwardly.

"Team Rocket orders, bastard," I replied bitterly to the man.

"Still, you could've ignored them. Team Rocket don't even care if an agent dies anyway," Trent reasoned.

"Well, we were partners for a long time. I thought that I owed it to you," I explained. "But once I drop you off in Zynera City, I never want to see your face again."

"Amy, please-" I interrupted him.

"Would you like me to just leave you here right now then?!" I snapped. He shook his head and Darmanitan got going again, galloping towards the site of my next Pokemon Contest: Zynera City.

Err… I still hate that damn bastard, and I know that I never should've saved him now…


Back to Nick's POV and Amy's performance:


"Now use Bug Buzz!" Amy added. Leavanny threw her now red arms up and a horrible screeching noise that she was making rose. Red waves that were coming from her arms stunned us all, up until the point where the redness took control of the leaves to make a throbbing, fiery broken heart. Amelia growled again before Leavanny fnally stopped, and the performance ended.

"An emotional performance…" Rosion murmured as Amelia stormed off of the stage. "Anyway, moving right along… Our next contestant is May!" May sprinted out of the arch that connected backstage and the actual stage with a pokeball ready in her hand.

"Emolga, take the stage!" May called as she threw a pokeball high into the air while spinning.

"Molga!" Emolga squealed as she twirled into the air.

"Emolga, it's time to start with Sky Attack!" Emolga was engulfed in a furious white glow that waved around her agile body. "And now, bite yourself with Thunder Fang!" Emolga opened her jaw wide, and electricity appeared on her two fangs, before she chomped down on herself and an electric explosion appeared. Before you knew it, Emolga was in a dynamic coat of lightning, almost like a Volt Tackle. Emolga then shot up into the air like an electric bullet. "Emolga, put on the brakes!" Suddenly Emolga stretched out her membrane and she came to an abrupt halt, which also made all of the electricity from her body fly off and hover in the air. "Now use Electro Ball!" Emolga created a sphere of electricity and small lightning bolts, before throwing it up with the other electricity when suddenly, BOOM! The whole sky was smoke.

"What is May doing, covering up Emolga like that?" Max asked.

"I'm not sure but if I know May correctly, she's gotta plan. She wouldn't let all of her experience go to waste," I assured Max. And surely enough, the smoke quickly whisked away to find Emolga in a large sphere of thin electricity. It was transparent and every known and then a quick little lightning bolt would circulate the shield.

"Wow…" the crowd muttered in awe.

"Now Emolga, use Air Slash!" May commanded while throwing her fist into the air.

"Ee—molga!" Emolga screeched as her 'wings' turned blue and she whipped them forward, sending out half a dozen razor blade-like discs that bounced up against the shield, destroying it and the Air Slash attack itself at the same time. Then, a shower and explosion of beauty fell over the stage as Emolga flew down to meet May; blue, white and yellow sparkles rained over the two, and it made Emolga shine even more!

"What an absolutely awesome and beautiful performance!" Rosion cheered as May and Emolga started to run off of the stage.

"That performance contained everything needed in an Appeals Round performance. It had beauty, strength, will power and of course, cuteness," Kelly complimented her. "I can speak from experience here, your Emolga's strong. Of course, I did raise one of my own back in my day." Once May had disappeared off of the stage it was a long wait until the results, but after 14 more coordinators had performed it was finally time to reveal who would be going through.

"And the 8 coordinators moving on to the next round are up on screen!" Rosion told the crowd as 8 faces flickered on one by one up onto the big screen. May's face suddenly popped up at third, and then right after her was Amelia and her emotional performance. Three more faces came up but no Lilly, and then finally at no.8 there Lilly was, last up.

"Hey, should we go congratulate May?" I questioned Max.

"Yeah!" he agreed. We both then ran out of our seats and within a couple of minutes we had arrived in the Dressing Room, but, we had also arrived into a confrontation.

"I may have not done the best in the Appeals Round May, but no doubt, I'm beating you in the finals!" Lilly snapped as she stormed past me and headed out to her match. I looked on the screen, and Rosion had just announced the matchups like 30 seconds ago and I saw that it WAS possible for May and Lilly to face off in the finals.

"I've tried to make immense with that girl over and over but she likes to hold onto a grudge. I'm sorry Nick but I'm beating her!" May assured me.

"I know, she's the same way with Casey…" I sighed. We then returned to our seats while May waited in the Dressing Room, but we arrived to find a pouting Skyla.

"WHY'D YOU GUYS LEAVE ME?!" she roared while stamping her feet on the ground angrily. Max and I's sweat dropped as we sat down next to the angry girl…


"And Lilly and her Swoobat are moving onto the finals!" Rosion announced as Lilly and Swoobat (who evolved from her Woobat) had just beaten down a girl and her Oshawott. "Now ladies and gents, it's time for the second semi-final battle! It's Amelia vs. May!" May and Amelia came running out from either side of the stage and they both had a pokeball in their hand.

"Alright Chikorita, take the stage!"

"Blastoise, enter please!" Amelia cried as she threw a pokeball.

"Chiko!" Chikorita squealed as she happily danced around the field, that was, until Blastoise came along.

"Toise!" Blastoise roared at her.

"You have a Blastoise?!" May shrieked. Amelia put her thinking face on as a reply to May, and then you saw her mouth twitching like before…


Amy's Thoughts/Flashback:


We just arrived in Zynera City and I was about to dump Trent off at the local Hospital, but somehow, my heart, my body was stopping me. But, I fought it.

"Get off," I ordered him relentlessly, before my heart would stop me again.

"Amy…" he muttered, but I was scowling at him through my eyes so he hobbled off of Darmanitan and tried to walk to the Hospital doors, but immediately collapsed.

"Let's go Darmanitan!"

"Man!" Darmanitan agreed as he started to gallop away.

I thought that that would be the last time I'd ever see Trent, because I told the rat bastard to stay away but then, after my performance…

I was walking down the hall to the Dressing Room right after my performance but suddenly I was gagged!

"MMM! MMM!" I tried to speak but a cloth was over my mouth, and I was dragged into a small room, my skin peeling off of my legs as I was dragged away. I was slammed into the corner of the room and when I looked up, I saw Trent. He quickly shut the door and then un-gagged me. "What do you want?!"

"I want to help you."

"YOU THINK GAGGNG ME AND SCRAPPING OFF MY SKIN IS HELPING ME?!" I roared.

"No, not that," he quickly replied. He put a pokeball in my hand. "Use Blastoise in the final round, or any round you like. He'll win you the Zynera Ribbon for sure." I threw the pokeball back up at hm.

"I'll do it with my own two Pokemon," I assured him. I started to go for the door but he stopped me.

"Take the pokeball or you won't be going… anywhere…" he muttered at me. My legs started to shake at the sight of the 25 year-old man, me only being 19. I nodded and snatched the pokeball off of him, and I quickly stormed out before anything could happen.

And now here I was, with Blastoise, even though I assured myself I would do this with my own Pokemon. But, May's one hell of an opponent and I needed real strength to defeat her. Blastoise, I'm ready!


Back to Nick's POV… for the 3rd time:


"Blastoise, use Flash Cannon!" Amelia ordered right off the back, without replying to May's question. Blastoise reared back, before two massive silver beams shot out from the two large bazooka cannons on his back.

"Chikorita, jump and use Razor Leaf!" May screamed.

"Chiko!" Chikorita cried as she barely dodged the vicious attack and then started to whip her leaf around and around, a mirage of leaves entering the sky every time she did so.

"Blastoise, counter with Skull Bash!" Amy retaliated. Blastoise jumped into the air and he turned into a rampaging blue bullet as he smashed through all of the leaves created from Razor Leaf. He then went surging into Chikorita, and she helplessly fell from the sky. "Now use Ice Beam!"

"Blast!" Blastoise screeched as he shot out a frozen-cold beam of ice, which slammed into Chikorita and made her roll even further back to May. Chikorita stood up after the super effective attack but you could tell that she was already struggling.

"Chikorita, use Petal Dance and then Tackle!" Chikorita started to surround herself in a mirage of pink petals, which waved around her body. She then unleashed them at Blastoise, who was pelted with the petals but then got stuck inside a cylinder of them! Chikorita then jumped, and slammed through the Grass-Type shield, crashing into Blastoise. "Now wrap this up! Throw Blastoise into the air with Vine Whip!"

"Rita!" Chikorita squealed as she jumped back a little bit after Petal Dance had disappeared and then shot out her two vines, wrapping them around Blastoise's two cannons. "CHIKO!" Chikorita threw Blastoise into the air and it looked like the end for the heavy turtle Pokemon.

"Now, it's time to use Razor- whaaaa…?" May stuttered as the leaf on Chikorita's head was starting to shine and become more of a yellow colour. The harsh sunlight shone against it and then Chikorita fired out a long yellow beam which collided against Blastoise, and went… BOOM! Blastoise came rocketing back down to the ground and made a massive indent into the stage, making different parts of Earth be lifted up. "Yes Chikorita, you learnt Solarbeam!"

"Err…" Amelia growled. "We're getting back in this! It's time for Hydro Cannon!" Blastoise opened his mouth up and started to create a water fury inside. The sphere became large and that's when Blastoise finally unleashed it and the aqua sphere then rocketed for Chikorita.

"Solarbeam!" May countered. The leaf on Chikorita's head raised up and light started to absorb into it before she quickly fired off the powerful beam, which had powered up quickly because of the harsh sunlight. BOOOM! The Solarbeam and Hydro Cannon attacks collided and grey smoke started to poor out from the two attacks.

"Here's our chance! Hydro Pump!" Amelia roared.

"Toise!" Blastoise roared along with her. Out of the two cannons on Blastoise's back came pouring out long streams and cylinders of water, which both flew through the smoke and somehow navigated themselves into Chikorita, and the Leaf Pokemon was hit by the powerful attack!

"Does anybody else see this battle as more of a battle battle than a contest battle?" I asked Max and Skyla.

"Does anyone in the crowd see this battle right here as more of a battle battle than a contest battle?" Rosion questioned the crowd right after I did.

"You know, Rosion's right. It does seem more like a battle," Max replied.

"Yeah..." Skyla agreed. I sighed as no one listened to me as usual.

"Chikorita, get back up and use Razor Leaf!"

"Skull Bash!" Amelia quickly retaliated.

"Blast!" Blastoise screeched as he flew through the air like a bullet, well, he was a bullet. He then started to come crashing down towards Chikorita, after swarming through the Razor Leaf attack like last time.

"Alright, use Vine Whip to jump on top of Blastoise!" May commanded. Chikorita pushed her vines down onto the ground and went soaring into the air, avoiding Blastoise. She then jumped back down on the still-flying Blastoise and got ready to attack again. "Now Petal Dance!" Chikorita started to spin the leaf on her head wildly while an array of petals spilled around Blastoise and Chikorita, injuring both of them. "Now, SOLARBEAM!"

"Chiko…" Chikorita murmured while she gathered sunlight into her big leaf, but Blastoise was going down to the ground quick, so she had to make this attack quick too. But then, just as they were about to crash into the ground… "Chiko—i!" Chikorita fired the yellow beam quickly and then, all you heard was… BOOOOMM! A massive yellow explosion came as the two hit the ground, and Chikorita's small body came shooting out of it, and with a thud, she hit the ground. The dust finally cleared to reveal two struggling to stand Pokemon but then one caved in. BZZ! BZZ! BZZ!

"And Blastoise is out, which means that May moves onto the finals to battle Lilly!" Rosion announced. May's face lit up and she ran over and hugged her weak Pokemon.

"You're the best!" May assured Chikorita as she got out her pokeball and returned the carefree, fun loving Pokemon.

"May, please stay on the field because we're going to be moving right onto the finals!" Rosion instructed May. She suddenly had a concerned look on her face but when she looked across the field, it was like Amelia had turned into Lilly because there she stood. "Now, 5 minutes are on this finale battle clock, so begin!" May fumbled Chikorita's pokeball in her hand and quickly switched it for another.

"Stoutland, let's take the lead!" Lilly yelled confidently.

"Alright Minccino, take the stage!" May countered as she threw her pokeball backhand, almost like me.

"Stout!" Stoutland barked threateningly at his opponent.

"Ccino!" Minccino squealed as she started to run around Stoutland excitedly.

"I just love Minccino's energy!" Rosion cheered along with the crowd as Minccino finally started to calm down.

"Minccino, take that energy and use Quick Attack!" May shouted. Minccino was already near Stoutland so it was an easy hit for her, a white trail covering the collision. "And now, Tail Slap back to back!" Minccino started to roll in the air while still near Stoutland's head and her now white glowing tail continuously kept pelting Stoutland over and over until one of his legs collapsed. "Jump, and then it's Swift time!"

"It's time to finally fight back! Alright Stoutland, use Shadow Ball!" Lilly retaliated.

"Min!" Minccino squeaked as she whipped her now yellow tail forward, and released an array of stars which flew down to Stoutland. He then started to create purple and back energy at his doggy jaw and then threw the ball at the Swift attack, and created a minor explosion.

"Now it's time for Thunder Fang!" Lilly ordered. Stoutland opened his mouth wide to reveal deathly sharp teeth, which were quickly engulfed in electricity, before he jumped high into the air and through the small smoke cloud before he gnawed down on Minccino's tail. Minccino started to freak out about having Stoutland on her tail and she started to flail around in the air wildly.

"Minccino, calm down and then use Tail Slap!" May instructed Minccino. Minccino nodded as she fully calmed herself and then made her tail start to power up with energy, and it quickly stopped the attack and caused Stoutland to drop to the ground like a bomb, grey smoke pouring out of his mouth. "Now, use Slam!"

"CCINO!" Minccino roared as she surged down from the sky and then pummeled Stoutland right in the back, indenting him into the ground even more.

"Looks like we're taking over this battle Lilly," May bragged to her opponent.

"Oh no you're not! Stoutland, use Attract!" Lilly immediately countered. Stoutland winked at Minccino and suddenly pink dust-formed love hearts appeared and swirled around Minccino, but before May could retaliate, Minccino was infatuated. "Now, it's time to use Giga Impact!"

"Land!" Stoutland barked as he was surrounded in a purple energy, with orange lighting sourcing outside of the shield near Stoutland's head. While Minccino was staring dozily at Stoutland, May could do nothing because she knew Attract had Minccino under its complete control. Suddenly, the Giga Impact hit with a slam and Minccino was sent rolling along the stage.

"It's combination time! Use Slam and Swift!" May called. On an off chance a move can hit, and it did this time! Minccino started to furious spin while her tail shot out numerous stars, which all surrounded Stoutland in a ring of stars. Minccino whipped her tail a final time and one last star went into the vortex, suddenly commanding all of the stars to start pelting Stoutland. While Stoutland was being hit Minccino started to stampede across the field on all fours before slamming her head into Stoutland, making all of the remaining stars explode, also making Minccino's fur shine.

"We will not put up with this! Use Thunder Fang to throw it in the air!"

"Stou—tt!" Stoutland howled as he bit down on Minccino's tail hard, electrifying the little Pokemon as he did so. Stoutland then threw her high into the air so that she was vulnerable to attack.

"Alright Stoutland, time for Giga Impact!" Lilly screamed. Stoutland charged into the air in a ball of purple energy, orange streaks also surrounding the oval bubble. Stoutland crashed into Minccino and sent her higher into the sky before she quickly started to drop down to the ground again.

"Minccino, get back up and use Quick Attack!" May finally countered. Minccino got up and I saw that her eyes were no longer hearts; the Attract status had worn off! Minccino sped up into the sky with a silver-white trail following behind her.

"Now use Take Down!" Lilly roared. Stoutland was engulfed in a full blood orange coating and then plummeted down from the sky, and collided with Minccino. BOOM! Both Pokemon came soaring out of the smoke and Minccino struggled to get up.

"It's time to finish this, use Thunderbolt!" Stoutland reared back and a quick bolt of lightning shot out from the Dog Pokemon, and quickly made its way over to Minccino.

"We can't take another hit! So jump and dodge!" May told her Pokemon.

"Min!" Minccino squealed as she jumped up, and barely missed the jolt of electricity. Minccino then jumped back down to the floor and growled at Stoutland menacingly.

"You're right! We can still win this! Alright then, use Shadow Ball and then Tail Slap!" May ordered. Minccino gathered energy at her small mouth of the colours of purple and black, before throwing the ball from her mouth.

"Counter Shadow Ball!" Lilly roared. Stoutland gathered up dark matter to make his own Shadow Ball, although he was a lot faster making it before he speedily unleashed the attack. The two Ghost-type moves collided, and cancelled each other out.

"With only 30 seconds left on the clock, it looks like May's gonna win this!" Rosion analyzed. I looked up at the big screen to see that May was leading by about 25% of the points.

"May, you may have beaten me not once, but twice," Lilly started. "You may have beaten down my confidence, but you shaped me into a different person. You may have hurt my soul, and you crushed my heart. You were my idol, but now you're my mortal enemy." The clock ticked over to 15 seconds. "BUT I AM WINNING THIS!" Lilly threw her hands into the air and was ready to finish May off with her bare hands. "Stoutland, Hyper Beam!"

"No, Minccino, continue out with your Tail Slap!" May commanded.

"Stout-land!" Stoutland howled as he shot out a red laser beam immediately at Minccino, who was galloping for Stoutland at the time with a shining white tail. Minccino rolled once and then threw her tail first at the Hyper Bema, and she tried to fight off the attack.

"You can do it Minccino!" May cheered for her Pokemon.

"Stoutland, max power!" Minccino started to put all of her energy into the attack, and likewise with Stoutland, until one Pokemon pulled through. BOOOOM! Right then and there, everything erupted in an explosion and the whole field was filled with smoke. You could see the clock ticking away through the smoke, and when it lifted it was only at 3 seconds…

"Oh my!" Rosion shrieked. BZZ! BZZ! BZZ! The clock hit 1 just as the final buzzer went off, and it ended the contest.

"I knew that I'd finally beat you one day," Lilly snickered to May as she devilishly looked over at her and her fainted Minccino.

"Not next time Lilly. Never again…" May muttered as a tear rolled down her cheek in sadness as Lilly preyed over the girl.

"Oh it'll happen again. You're never defeating me, you pathetic slut!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

NEXT EPISODE – Battling Roxie: Attack of the Poison! Pt.2


Hey guys – so another long chapter. Also, Lilly finally beats May! Yay (for some). Also Chikorita learnt a new move, Solarbeam, so that'll be a helpful addition to her plethora of moves. Next episode, as you can tell by the title, will be the rematch against Roxie! Who's psyched for that? I am, so hopefully it will be up at the end of today, although that stupid 'I' key will be annoying the fuck out of me (excuse my language). And Amelia... Oooo... Well I gave you guys some flashbacks, but why was Amy mad at Trent (I actually don't know why yet myself)? Hmm… What else to say except about Servine. So he didn't die but I just want to say, sorry if any of you don't like the thought of pokemon dying. For some odd reason I had the weirdest dream the night that I posted last episode and the person that reviewed was saying "You're a f*cken psycho for killing a Pokemon" and "I f*cken hate you and your story now" so I just want to say I'm sorry if that DID offend any of you. Anyway, Pokemon Listings…
