Melanie was now taking us to the tournament. I sat snug in my pokeball will we were
getting there. I was so glad she was letting me and the others go. After Petal and
Wikina had woken up, we had left the Pokemon Center for the town stadium. Soon it
was time to go out on the battle field.

Soon we were about ready to go into battle and Mel let me out of my pokeball. The
others were out aswell. There was a Ponyta and an Abra there aswell.
'Okay guys,' Mel said, 'I know we haven't had any time to train, but I know you can
do it. The first battle will be two elements only so to make the most of it, I'm using
Flara and Sunraye, and Hammerhead and Wikina.' Sunraye, I guessed, was the Ponyta
and Hammerhead, the Abra. But why was she using Wikina? She was Water and
Hammerhead was Psychic. It didn't really worry me though cause the battle was now
starting. Petal and I sat on a bench near-by to watch the battle. Mel took one side of
the field, while another trainer took the other. The trainer was a boy with short, dark
brown hair and hazel eyes. He grabbed a pokeball of his belt.
'Go Blossom!' He yelled, tossing the ball. A Hoppip burst from the ball and faced Mel,
who yelled, 'Go Sunraye!' and toosed Sunraye's pokeball. Sunraye came out and
looked at Blossom.
'Sleep Powder!' The trainer yelled. Blossom flapped her little leaves about and a fine,
blue dust came flom them and floated towards Heatwave.
'Stop it with Ember!' Mel called. Sunraye took a breath and shot a small stream of fire
at the on coming powder. It stopped the Powder and then the Ember hit Blossom,
knocking her back a bit.
'Petal Dance!' The trainer yelled. Blossom got up and started spinning around. Leaves
shot out and flew at Sunraye. They hit her but she stumbled back, almost unharmed.
'Use Flamethrower!' Mel called to her. She obeyed and shot a large burst of flames at
Blossom. Her attack hit Blossom, making her faint.
'Way to go Sunraye!' Mel said as Sunraye ran back to her. The trainer recalled
Blossom and Mel recalled Sunraye. The trainer grabbed another pokeball and yelled,
'Go Rosebud!' Mel grabbed a pokeball and yelled, 'Go Flara!' Flara came out and a
Bulbasaur came out of the boy trainers pokeball.
'Vine Whip!' The boy yelled.
'Flame Wheel!' Mel yelled. As Rosebud's Vine Whip reached out to lash at Flara,
flames burst up around him, knocking the vines back. Then the flame flew at Rosebud,
KO-ing her.
'Well done!' Mel cheered and the boy recalled his second fainted pokemon. Next Mel
called out Hammerhead and the boy called out a Charmander called Firetail. It was a
tough battle but Hammerhead finally finished off Firetail with a Shadowball. Then it
was Wikina's turn against a Growlithe named Lavaflow. This would be a tough battle.
Even though Wikina had the type advantage, Lavaflow looked like he had the strength
advantage.
'Body Slam!' The boy yelled. Before Mel could tell Wikina to do anything, Lavaflow
threw his body on the ground, shaking the earth. I could feel the ground shake and
Wikina had trouble keeping on his feet.
'Take-Down!' The boy yelled. Lavaflow ran at Wikina while she wasn't stable and he
sent her flying through the air. She landed roughly and could barely get up.
'Finish it with Fire Blast!' The boy yelled. Lavaflow took a huge breath and blew an
enormous Fire Blast at Wikina. She managed to jump to her feet before the fire
reached her and her eyes began to glow. The fire stopped and flew back at Lavaflow.
This caught him by suprise and he fell over. He got up quickly though.
'Psywave!' Mel called. Wikina's eyes glowed again and she raised her arms. Huge
psychic waves flew at Lavaflow and he was hurt even more.
'Finish it with Hyper Beam!' Mel yelled. Wikina's golden eyes glowed once more and
she opened her mouth wide. A small ball of yellow light formed inside her large mouth
and started to grow. It was soon the size of her mouth and that's when she launched it.
The Hyper Beam struck out at Lavaflow and that finished him off. The boy recalled
him to his pokeball in disbelief. So Wikina was a Psychic aswell as a Water type, it
might of had something to do with her colouring.

Later on, back at the Pokemon Center, Mel healed us again.
'I found out that in the rest of the battles, I'll only need three pokemon. I have another
pokemon so I guess you four are free to go!' She said to us. We all said our proper
good-byes and then we left town. I sort of enjoyed being someone's pet, even though I
didn't battle. At least it wasn't long now until we got to Evolution Mountain. I just
hoped we could get the Power Stone.
