"You sure you want to do this?" Gary asked tauntingly. His Wartortle was out and standing before him.
"Yes Gary I'm sure," Haley said through grittted teeth. "And that fake Eevee - it didn't work."
"Huh? What's an Eevee?"
all except Gary fall over in exasperation
"Stupid! That's not going to work." Haley snapped.
"So it didn't. But I'll get you now anyway. We'll each use three Pokemon, since that's all you have. Feel lucky I'm giving you the handicap," Gary sneered.
"Whatever. Now are we going to talk or fight?"
"Eeee!" Ponyta added. She was standing bravely before the Wartortle, though knowing she was going towards certain defeat.
"Battle. Wartortle, Bubblebeam!" "Ponyta, jump over that Wartortle and smash its back legs with your hooves!" Haley yelled. Ponyta did as she was told, and the last bubble popped harmlessly against her hoof. She reared and came heavily down upon the Wartortle's feet.
"WAAR!" the turtle cried out, eyes filling with pain-induced tears. It couldn't move.
"Wartortle you idiot! You let that pony hurt you! Water Gun now!" Gary shouted.
The Wartortle twisted its head to face Ponyta and shot her in the face with its Water Gun. Ponyta fainted and collapsed - falling down on top of the Wartortle, her hoof striking its head. Ponyta weighed more than twice as much as Wartortle, so she fainted it by just falling on it, and her hooves are 10 times harder than diamonds, so that was also a knockout, especially since she hit its head. They remained in a still heap, the only moving thing the dying blue flames that were Ponyta's mane and tail.
"Ponyta, return." Haley said.
"Wartortle, come back." Gary said. "Fine then. Go, Growlithe!"
Haley gasped and her eyes filled with tears upon seeing a Growlithe.
"Haley! Don't let your past get in the way! I know you can do it!" This was Ash's voice. Haley nodded dimly.
"Pii pi ka chu," Pikachu said, hopping onto her shoulder and wiping her eyes with a tiny paw. Somehow this gave Haley strength.
"Thanks, Pikachu. Vulpix, Bite attack now!" Haley yelled. Vulpix leapt up to Growlithe.
"Growlithe, Bite it back!"
Teeth met teeth, and both of their mouths began to bleed.
"Grrrowlithe!" the puppy Pokemon said, a challenge to try again.
"Growlithe, Fire Spin!" Gary yelled.
"Vulpix, try to dodge its flames!" Haley yelled. Vulpix knew she couldn't dodge, so as the flames came ever closer, Vulpix opened her mouth wide and used her own Fire Spin. They two forces battled for seconds that seemed to last an eternity and a half to Haley.. and began to slowly, ever so slowly, edge towards Growlithe, who began to panic.
"Growlithe, more flames!" Gary yelled.
"Vulpix, switch to Flamethrower!" Haley yelled.
"Vullllll!" Vulpix said, her eyes turning red. "VULLLLLLLL!"
The flames shot towards Growlithe and roasted it.
"Vulpix, Bite attack now! Go for the throat, the stomach, the eyes, or the snout!!"
Vulpix sunk her teeth into the Growlithe's muzzle, who yelped in pain and then laid still.
"Fine! Growlithe, return! Go, Kangaskhan!" Gary yelled. "Take Down!"
Vulpix didn't have a chance. She fainted as soon as she was hit.
"Vulpix!" Haley cried out. She rushed to Vulpix's side and scooped her up. "Oh, Vulpix.. don't worry, we're going to win this." She walked over to Ash, Misty, Brock, and Lance. She handed Vulpix to Misty, Ponyta's Pokeball to Lance, and Vulpix's (empty) Pokeball to Ash. "Don't drop that," she said. She handed her pack to Brock. She then walked out to her side, firey hatred burning in her eyes.
And then she said one of her most well known lines..
"You -- will -- pay."
Gary was scared on the inside at the burning hatred in her eyes and voice, but didn't show it.
"Let's battle," he said.
"Meowth, go!" Haley yelled.
"Meow!" Meowth announced.
"You think you can beat me with a cat? You're even dumber than I thought you were," Gary said tauntingly.
"Whatever. Meowth, Toxiclaws now!"
Meowth's claws glowed green and began to steadily drip poison. When the poison hit the ground, it sizzled and a 3-inch deep hole appeared and the grass there wilted.
"What's that?" Ash said, confused.
'Toxiclaws,' Ash's Pokedex announced. 'A very powerful, very dangerous move that only Meowths and Persians can learn.'
"Toxiclaws?" Gary said doubtfully. "Never heard of it."
"Meowth, Scratch now!" Haley said.
"Kangaskhan, slam it into that tree!" Gary yelled. Meowth came at the Kangaskhan, who easily knocked him into a nearby tree. Meowth laid there, gasping and trying to get up.
"Meowth!" Haley cried. "Meowth, please, get up!"
"Ha, I knew I'd win!" Gary yelled.
"Meowth!" Haley cried again. She sounded a thousand miles distant to Meowth. He gave up and collapsed, when something new inside of him awoke.
No, he would not faint. The Girl needed him. He would stay consious, no matter what it took. And then his body tingled. He felt new power surging throught him. He yowled in pain, and then it stopped.
He opened his eyes to find himself much higher up. He looked up. The Girl was standing over him, smiling. She held a mirror up to his face. She was saying something that he couldn't understand.. then she said something he DID understand - Persian. He realized that he had evolved. He was no longer Meowth as he had been all of his life. He was Persian.
Fury at the Kangaskhan who had nearly knocked him out rose inside of him and bloomed like fire feeding on brush. His claws began to glow green again, and he lurched forward at the Kangaskhan, scratching its face crazily, as though his life depended on it. He did not touch the baby, however; he felt pity for it because it could not fight. Poison surged through the Kangaskhan's veins and when it reached the heart it began to course around it, cutting it off from blood. The Kangaskhan fainted, and Persian removed his claws. The poison immediately vanished, but the Kangaskhan remained fainted.
The battle was won.
"I. I can't believe it. I really can't," Gary said. "You know, you really make me mad."
Haley wasn't listening. She was reviving Vulpix and Ponyta with her Max Revives.
"And you know what else? I'm going to get you back for it. Charmeleon, go! Flamethrower!"
Haley couldn't move in time. The flames came closer and closer. Everyone stood frozen with fear and shock, unable to help. And then Ponyta stepped in front of Haley.
"Ponyta, no!" Haley cried. And then the flames hit. There was a huge explosion as the tree under which Haley was standing burst into flames. With her last strength, Ponyta pushed Haley out from underneath the tree. Then the flame horse vanished into the raging fire. There was then a piercing scream, a combinaton of Ponyta's of pain and Haley's of remorse.
"Ponytaaaaaa!" Haley cried.
"Squirtle, go! Water Gun!" Ash yelled.
"Squirtle! Glugglugglugglugglug!" the tiny turtle said. He put out the flames to reveal a badly burned black horse. No dancing blue flames. No glimmer in the eye, no flash as the sun reflected on her shiny hooves. Still as death. Haley rushed to Ponyta's side, crying hard.
"Ponyta! No! It can't end this way! Please, get up! Please!"
No response. Haley felt Ponyta's neck. No pulse. Still as death. Haley rose and turned a demonic gaze on Gary. She threw her jacket off and marched stiffly towards Gary.
