Chapter 5

For a week Cyril stayed at the PokeCenter, going out every day to train his Nidoran.

Then after Pidgeotto had healed, he went out to train her.

After training for 1 more week, he left to go to take on the Gym Challenge, but was stopped by Jen.

She had that same high skirt.

"I challenge you to another battle!"

She said to him.

"Are you sure???"

Cyril replied, with a smirk.

Jen seethed., and her eyes narrowed.

"You only won that one because of pure chance!"

She accused.

"Fine. What kind of battle?"

"2 on 2."

"Fine. Go, Pidgeotto!"

"Go, Clefairy!"

"Caw!"

"Cleffa, Cleffa!"

The two stood off, facing each other.

"Pidgeotto, fly around it and Peck attack it!"

"Clefairy, Metronome!"

Pidgeotto flew around Clefairy, stabbing it furiously with its sharp beak.

Clefairy avoided it by trying to beat it away with it's weak hands, but to no avail.

Finally, the tiny Clefairy blew its temper.

It stood up straight, not noticing Pidgeotto's furious attacks, and started glowing.

At first, Cyril thought it was evolving, but then he realized Clefairy was using Self-Destruct!

"Pidgeotto, get away from there! Its using Self-Destruct!"

Pidgeotto looked over to him questioningly.

The next minute, the glowing Clefairy exploded.

Pidgeotto flew backwards and smashed into a tree trunk, beaten and bloody.

Meanwhile, Clefairy was still in its spot, but there were scratches and bruises on it with a steady stream of blood trickling out of it's mouth.

This one was a draw. ***************

"Go, Weedle!"

"Go, Nidoran!"

"Nido!"

"Wee!"

"Nidoran, Poison Sting attack!"

"Weedle, String Shot!"

A flurry of needles flew at Weedle, who quickly spat a web of blue goo at the needles.

It enveloped them, clustering the together, but making them very inaccurate.

Weedle easily dodged them.

"Good! Now, Weedle, String Shot that Nidoran to the ground!"

"Wee!"

"Nidoran, dodge it!"

But it was too late.

The thick, sticky goo enveloped Nidoran before it could move.

"Good! Now, Weedle, Poison Sting attack!"

Weedle charged at Nidoran, who could barely move, and him on the side.

Nidoran tried to struggle against it, but finally collapsed with a sigh.

"Hah! I beat you! Whaddaya have to say now, huh?"

"Stop smirking or I'll wipe that smirk off your face myself, bitch."

Cyril said under his breath.

Her eyes narrowed.

"What-did-you-say-?"

Her face had turned beet red.

"Oh nothing, nothing at all!"
