Now, on with the story.
***
It was the day after Rick's first match, and Rick had already pseudo-randomly selected a field and an opponent for the second round of the Indigo League the same way he'd selected the Astounding Mandi on the Water Field for the first round of the Indigo League.
It turned out he would be fighting on the Rock field, and he'd be fighting against some girl named Jill.
In fact, he was standing on the red platform on the Rock Field right now. Rick had been chosen to be the Red trainer again.
A girl with blond hair and wearing a green jumpsuit hopped onto the green platform. She was obviously Jill, the Green trainer.
"And now, a second round Indigo League match is about to begin!" the announcer said.
"Pixie, go!" Rick said, sending out Pixie.
"I choose Mileena!" Jill said, sending out a young woman in a purple ninja outfit.
Rick pointed his Pokedex at her.
The Pokedex said, "Mileena. She is a character from a series of Earth video games called Mortal Kombat. She is an expert at martial arts, can throw energy daggers, has a teleport kick move where she disappears into the ground only to reappear above the opponent to kick them, can knock the opponents off their feet with a rolling move, and has various different ways of outright killing an opponent. These ways include repeatedly stabbing the opponent with daggers, eating the opponent and spitting out the bones, putting an amount of nails that would fill up a can into her mouth only to spit them at the opponent, and turning into a skunk and killing them with poisonous fumes. Of course, in the Pokewomen world, it is forbidden to use these capabilites to kill an opponent under pain of arrest. Mileena also can also make friends by looking into a mirror that breaks upon having her reflection in it, plus she can turn the opponent into a baby."
Rick gulped. That was one long description. Obviously Mileena was pretty tough.
Rick said as much to Pixie, who replied, "Ha! I can kick this woman's---"
"Now, let the battle begin!" the announcer interrupted.
"Pixie, throw an energy ball!" Rick said.
"Maybe I should tell you right now, it's called the 'big bang'," Pixie said. (Author's Note: I've recently found out that's what Pixie calls it in the Monster Rancher show.)
Then Pixie threw the newly christened 'big bang' at Mileena.
"Mileena, cancel it out!" Jill called.
Mileena threw energy daggers, cancelling out the 'big bang'.
"Pixie, ram into Mileena!" Rick called.
Pixie flew downwards, attempting to knock Mileena off her feet.
Pixie succeeded, smashing Mileena into a rock.
"Mileena, use your teleport kick!" Jill said.
Rick grinned. His Pokedex had said that the teleport kick had Mileena disappear into the ground, and then reappear above.
So Rick knew where to have Pixie attack.
As Mileena was disappearing into the ground, Rick said, "Pixie, fire a big bang above you!"
Pixie obeyed, firing her big bang attack straight above her.
Good thing, too, because just then Mileena appeared.
Mileena got blasted with the big bang and was knocked unconscious.
"Mileena is out of the match!" the referee said, raising the red flag.
"Darn it!" Jill said, recalling Mileena.
"Ooh, an early victory!" the announcer said. "That was quick. Let's hope Jill's next Pokewomen is better."
"Oh it is, trust me," Jill said. She threw a Poke Ball and said, "Go, Cammy!"
A woman dressed in a combat suit jumped out.
Rick pointed his Pokedex at her.
The Pokedex said, "Cammy. This is a character from a series of Earth video games called Street Fighter. Cammy is an expert at martial arts and has a number of special techniques and also a number of extremely powerful moves that can be very damaging."
"This is gonna be good!" the announcer said.
"Cammy, do a Cannon Drill!" Jill said.
"What the heck is a---" Rick began, but then he was interrupted when Cammy spun horizontally through the air feet-first, slamming into Pixie.
"Now follow it up with a Thrust Kick!" Jill said.
Cammy landed on the ground, and then jumped vertically into the air, one of her feet sticking at a diagonally-up angle.
But Pixie dodged this attack and blasted Cammy to the ground with a big bang.
But Cammy got back up again.
"Ooh, good thing Cammy's more resilient than Mileena was," the announcer said.
"Cammy, try that Axel...Knuckle...thingy...whatever you call it!" Jill said.
Cammy spun around and tried a backhand.
Except Pixie was too high up, and Cammy missed.
Pixie grinned, and then bowled Cammy over with a sonic blast.
But even after this powerful attack that Rick had taught Pixie to defeat Lt. Surge, Cammy was still up.
"Now for the big guns. Cammy, do your Spin Drive Smasher!" Jill said.
Suddenly everything darkened, while Cammy flashed.
Then everything returned to normal brightness.
Cammy did a Cannon Drill.
Or at least that's what it looked like to Rick at first.
Except then Rick noticed that Cammy had shadows trailing behind her.
Cammy slammed into Pixie, but this time, instead of just slamming into Pixie, Cammy's legs hit Pixie multiple times.
Then, Cammy went into a Thrust Kick.
Or At least that's what it looked like to Rick at first.
Except then Rick noticed that Cammy had shadows trailing behind her.
Again.
Cammy slammed into Pixie, but this time, instead of just slamming into Pixie, Cammy's legs hit Pixie multiple times.
Again.
After this two-phase attack, Pixie fell to the rocky floor of the Rock field.
"This is incredible!" the announcer said. "This super attack has knocked Pixie senseless! This might be over for Pixie!"
Come on...Rick pleaded. Get up!
The referee was about to rule Pixie out of the match when Rick's months of training Pixie and the other Pokewomen paid off.
Pixie stood up.
"Wow! Pixie pulled through!" the announcer said.
"No problem! Do another Cannon Drill!" Jill said.
"I don't think so! Try some lightning!" Rick shouted.
As Cammy did a Cannon Drill, Pixie shocked her with lightning.
Cammy soon fell unconscious.
"Cammy is out of the match!" the referee said.
"And another victory, but this time not so easily gained," the announcer said. "Now Jill has only one Pokewoman left."
"Go, Nakoruru!" Jill said, throwing a Poke Ball.
A girl with very long black hair, wearing a red-and-white outfit, and with a sword and a cape, popped out of the Poke Ball.
Rick pointed his Pokedex at her.
The Pokedex said, "Nakoruru. This is a character from a series of games called Samurai Showdown. She is adept with a sword and a cape, and has many techniques. She is of the Ainu race."
"This'll be a cinch," Rick said. "Some lightning should do the trick."
Pixie threw lightning at Nakoruru.
Nakoruru leaped aside.
"Anna Mutsube!" Nakoruru said.
She literally slid along the ground, covered with energy, sword outstretched.
Pixie flew into the air, doding the attack, but Nakoruru was ready for that.
"Lela Mutsube!" Nakoruru said, doing another version of the Anna Mutsube attack.
This time she flew into the air doing the move.
Pixie tried to fly to the side, but the attack grazed her arm anyway.
"Wow, looks like Nakoruru's come prepared! She's obviously been well-trained," the announcer said.
"Try a big bang!" Rick shouted.
Pixie threw her big bang attack at Nakoruru.
But Nakoruru came prepared for this, too.
She flicked her cape, deflecting the big bang back at Pixie.
Pixie was blasted onto the ground, and Nakoruru leaped on her, pinning her to the ground.
Nakoruru held her sword high, ready to deliver the finishing blow.
Sword...
That's it! Rick thought. Most swords were made of metal, and Nakoruru's sword looked like it was made of metal, too.
And as anyone interested in science would know, metal conducts electricity.
"Pixie, fire some lightning through her sword!" Rick said.
Pixie sent electricity through Nakoruru's sword.
Nakoruru's hair stood on end as the electricity travelled from the sword into her.
Nakoruru stepped back, faltering.
"Now a sonic blast!" Rick said.
Pixie concentrated and clapped her hands together at a speed that broke the sound barrier.
Doing the sonic blast, Pixie knocked Nakoruru clear to the other side of the field.
Nakoruru slumped to the ground, unconscious.
"No!" Jill shouted.
"Nakoruru is out of the match! The winner of the match is the Red trainer, Rick!" the referee said, raising the red flag and pointing it at Rick.
"Yahoo!" Rick said.
"I knew I could win," Pixie said.
The crowd cheered, as both trainers recalled their Pokewomen.
As Jill walked off, Rick reflected on how he'd won yet another round of the Indigo League. But he wasn't a Pokewomen master yet by far...
To be continued...

You're probably thinking, "Oh no, not another new trainer fic that the author won't bother to finish!" Well, let me tell you, I hate those kinds of fics too, and let me tell you in advance that I DO plan on finishing this fic. I never start a fic that I don't intend to finish. In fact, if I'm lying about planning to finish the fic, may I get pounded by a madman. E-mail all questions and comments to bleifer@msn.com.
