Pokemon Battle
DISCLAIMER: Do I own Pokemon? No, I don't.
"Here's the game, everyone who can have Angel and myself draws a card from my deck." A Pokemon deck appeared in Keegan's hands. "I bring the monster to life and everyone's card battles. Whoever monster is still standing, wins."
Julian chuckled as him, Damon, Joan, and Branton drew cards.
"I knew you were going to bring Pokemon into this."
Everyone went into Joan's gym and Keegan worked his magic by bringing all four pocket monster cards alive.
Joan's card was Jiggly Puff. A big walking balloon with arms, big blue eyes and cat ears. Julian drew an ugly giant squid with eyes called Tentacruel. Branton drew this giant red dragon called Charizard and seemed very satisfied. Damon, on the other hand, was offended. His card was a glowing black ball with fangs and eyes named Gastly.
"Is this some sort of joke?" Damon asked Keegan after Gastly came to life and announced its name. My brother only smirked.
Stefan smothered a chuckle.
"Alright trainers, Pokemon. Fight." Keegan instructed and promptly plugged his ears.
"Tentacruel, hydro pump Charizard." Julian ordered immediately and his monster shot a stream of water at the lizard.
"Charizard duck and give it a seismic toss!" Branton ordered and his monster ducked the possible defeating blow, picked up the squid, circled in the air and slammed it into the floor with all its momentum.
In a puff of smoke, the water Pokemon vanished.
"Looks like you don't get Angel." Jasmina said smugly.
"Or her cute brother." Morigan added setting my teeth on edge.
Keegan watched the battle with a slight grin.
"Gastly, lick Charizard." Damon ordered and the floating ball dashed over extended this big pink tongue and licked the lizard.
Charizard turned a sick looking purple and started stumble along the gym. The sight cracked my friends and I up but Branton was livid.
"Alright you stupid gecko, torch the ghost" he screamed then added, "And roast that walking marshmallow."
Jiggly Puff and Charizard puffed out at the insult delivered to them both, right before Gastly ran right into them both with a tackle attack.
Damon laughed at the stunned Jiggly Puff as it walked around in circles before falling on its back. Keegan chuckled too right before Charizard torched Gastly, then his jaw dropped.
"Angel watches Pokemon all the time so I know what these monsters can do." Branton told Keegan. He shrugged and continued to plug his ears.
"Charizard now roast the marshmallow." Branton ordered and the lizard roared drawing a great big breath to torch the Pokemon.
"Jiggly Puff, uh " Joan said before she remembered something. "Double slap attack!"
Jiggly Puff popped up, jumped up into Charizard's face and slapped him a couple of times. Joan cheered as the giant took a few steps back.
"You stupid gecko!" Branton shouted.
Keegan shook his head and murmured "I wouldn't do that."
"Flame thrower attack the thing!" my eldest brother ordered his Pokemon.
Joan desperately looked to Keegan for inspiration and he just looked back with his ears plugged. Suddenly it hit her what Keegan had tried to convey this entire battle.
"Jiggly Puff slumber song, Now!!" she cried.
Before the deadly flames of Charizard could leave his mouth, Jiggly Puff began to sing and slowly and surely the giant fell. The moment Charizard fell completely asleep, in a puff of red smoke, he was gone.
"The winner is Piper Joan Riley." Keegan said calmly as he placed his hands at his side.
I cheered along with Jiggly Puff and Joan. Finally, I was free.
Graduation was extraordinary. The blue robes brought out the best features of Madelyn and Joan. When Madelyn's name was announced it seemed like half the audience, including most of the students cheered. When Joan stood up and gave her valedictorian speech everyone listened in awe.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Joan began. "Today marks a new beginning and start of the greatest journey of our lives. For some of us, we will be leaving everything we know behind."
She smiled and looked at Madelyn and the rest of us standing in the audience. "For a lucky few, the journey we face won't be alone. "
Joan continued to address the audience. "These years of schooling have taught me much. History, math, science but also about mankind. I've learned that being popular and being known are two different things. I've learned that appearances are deceiving."
I could see Madelyn looking at Julian as Joan looked at my family and me.
"I've learned that friends aren't who you hang with but who you care about." Joan smiled again, "I can honestly say that my best friend isn't Carry or Drew, one of the girls that I shop with but Madelyn Olslin, the girl who helped me with my calculus and listened to me gripe about homework." Everyone laughed.
"But the most important lesson that I've learned is to see others for who they are inside, not who they pretend to be." Keegan smiled beside me as Joan laughed.
"You meet a lot of interesting people that way." She said with a smile that everyone in our group wore.
