"Go, Princess! Tackle attack!"
"Free!"
"Scyther, dodge it and use swords dance!"
"Scyther! Scy..."
"Princess, string shot to slow down Scyther!" I called out.
"Ooh! What a direct slash attack from the magnificent Scyther!" The Emcee boomed over the microphone.
"Gah! Princess! Are you alright?"
"Free.." Princess struggles to get herself back up into the air. I'm tempted to switch her out to give her rest, but she manages to get back into the air.
"Oh! What a strong-willed Pokémon that is!"
Scyther's trainer, Kaden, stood agape staring.
"What?! How can that weakling still fly? That should've KO'd it!" Kaden exclaimed angrily.
I clenched my fists, "Princess, sleep powder!"
"Free..! Free!"
It hits; Scyther fell asleep.
"What?? Scyther, wake up!" Kaden yelled out.
"Scy...scy...ther..." Scyther snored.
After a few moments, the referee called out, "Scyther is unable to battle, Butterfree is the winner!"
I stood with my face dropped and then I smiled with excitement as Princess flies toward me.
"Alright! You were amazing, Princess!" I congratulated as I look over to Kaden. He returned Scyther to his Pokéball when his girlfriend and friends surrounded him. They begin to walk toward me.
"How did you do it?" Kaden asked rudely.
"How did I do what?" I retorted, smirking.
"Don't play dumb, Hannah," his girlfriend responded, "How did you win?"
I turned to Karmen, "It takes strategy and skill to win, plus another thing."
"How? Kaden is more skillful than you are!" Caleb jumped in.
"A-Axew!" Caleb's Axew was not happy about my win either.
"What other thing?" Karmen interrupted before I could say anything.
"It's something I noticed we all show towards our Pokémon," I replied, pausing so that they have a chance to think about it.
I spoke up again, "We need to treat our Pokémon with love and trust. Mrs. White taught us that in Pokémon Care class, remember?"
"I was showing love and trust to Scyther! How could I have lost?" Kaden shouted, coming at me.
The girls, except for Karmen, constricted him.
"Let's let the judgement to the teachers, hm," I tilted my head, "so we don't end up having a brawl."
Kaden growled, "No. I want to hear it from you."
He managed to break free from Natalie and Tyeesa...
He coming closer...
