~Dragons, Dragons, and More Dragons!~

"Here we go," Dustin said as he stood outside the temple like gym of Blackthorn City, his friends and him entered into the amazing lobby.

"Wow," Jen gasp at the magnifecent of the colors and statues of dragons. "What an amazing gym..."

"Why thank you," Clair laughed as she walked into the lobby, now dressed in a black like suit with a cape. "I'm glad you made it here, how is Dratini?"

"Just fine," Jen winked, "The cutiest little thing ever!"

"You have an awesome gym," Shane complemented Clair.

"Thanks," she smiled, "Now Dustin are you ready for our match?"

"Sure am!" Dustin smiled with a hint of truimph.

While Dustin and Clair took their places in the trainer's box Shane and Jen make their way to the bleachers. The stadium was a water one with two big platforms and two little ones placed in the water.

"The challange today," a short old man annouced, he was the judge. "Will be held between Leader Clair and Challenger Dustin, three pokemon each, the challanger may switch one time, the leader can not, Begin!"

"Hope your ready to handle the power of dragons!" Clair smirked and threw a pokeball, from the light merged a huge red dog/breast, it howled from the big platform.

"An Arcanine!" Jen gasp. "Whoa, Clair does have some tricks."

A picture of the dog appeared below Clair's picture on the board on both sides of the gym.

'Hm...' Dustin thought for a moment and then enlarged a pokeball, "Totodile has a huge advantage since there's the water," the threw the pokeball, "Go Totodile!"

"Toto!" it squeeked as it stood on the other big platform, a picture of it appeared below Dustin's on the board.

"Arcanine!" Clair ordered, "Dragonbreath!"

"Ar!" it howled as a green fireball charged in it's mouth, "Ar!" it bellowed out a powerful jet of green flames at Totodile.

"Jump in the water!" Dustin countered.

"Dile!" the gator jumped into the cold blue water, dodging the green flame attack.

"Now shot it with Water Gun!"

"Arcanine use Flamethrower!"

"Dile!" it squirted a jet of icy cold water at the dog, smacking it in the chest but not hurting it any.

"Huh?" Dustin was confused, 'That water attack should have hit the spot.'

"Shake it off Arcanine!" Clair commanded, "Dragonbreath!"

The shaggy dog shook with out moving it's feet and dried it's damp fur, "Arc!" it deveolped and launched another green flame, the gator swam under and dodged the attack however.

"Great job," Dustin complemented his small gator pokemon. "Now from underwater use Water Pulse!"

"Toto!" it replied and swam to the bottom of the pool, slaming both hands on the ground and cause a huge geyser from the pool to spray Arcanine hard, knocking it into the pool.

"We got it now!" Dustin smiled, "Totodile-"

"Go underwater!" Clair ordered.

"Wha?!" Dustin was totally confused, 'How it's a fire type?'

"Arcanine use Body Slam!"

The dog swiftly went underwater and charged at Totodile, smacking it with it's nose and slaming it into the air, out of water.

"Jump up and use Dragonbreath!" the Dragon Mistress directed with finesse.

"When it's jumping spray it hard!" Dustin countered, not so elogant though.

As soon as Totodile saw the huge dog bark and jump out of the water it sprayed a powerful gush of blue water, spraying the dog in the face head on and knocking it back into the water. Totodile landed on one of the smaller platforms safe.

"Jump back up agian!" Clair ordered.

"Ar!" the mighty beast howled as it jumped from the water and landed on to one of the larger platforms, glaring at Totodile. "Ar..." it fell over with swirls in it's eyes.

"Arcanine is unable to battle," the judge informed them as the dog's picture faded.

"Return!" Clair withdrew the dog and whispered words of gratitude before enlarging another pokeball. "Your Totodile is strong," she threw her pokeball, "Go Kingdra!"

A mighty blue dragon marine creature grunted as it landed in the pool and let out a powerful roar, scaring Totodile.

"I hope Totodile can handle this Kingdra," Shane replied to Jen.

"It's Dragon Claw should be enough," Jen responded.

"Go Totodile Dragon Claw!" Dustin shouted.

"Agility!" Clair replied.

"Toto!" it's claws grew in a shade of crimson, it leapt near Kingdra and slashed, missing as Kingdra appeared behind the gator.

"What?!" Dustin was amazed.

"Hyper Beam!" Clair ordered.

"King!" it grunted as an orange orb formed in it's mouth like hole, "DRA!" it fired the orb in the form of a beam, smacking agianst Totodile's back and leaving a burnt mark.

"Totodile!" Dustin yelled in fear.

"Dile..." it fell on it's stomache with X's in it's eyes.

"Totodile is unable to continue," the judge smiled as Totodile's picture faded out.

"Good try Totodile," Dustin said as he withdrew it, shrunk it down and thanked it for it's hard work. "I choose!" he grabed his fastball but an alarm went off. "Huh?" he asked, "What's that?"

"Someone is entering the Dragon's Den!" the short judge shouted, "Lady Clair we must stop them!"

Clair noded, "Return," she recollocted Kingdra, "We must continue our battle later, someone is trying to enter the Scared Land of Dragons!"

"We'll help!" Dustin responded.

The gang along with Clair entered a huge cavern behind the gym by riding Clair's Lapras, they came through the entrance and into a huge area full of flowers and peaceful surroundings.

"Everything looks ok," Dustin said as he and the gang got off of Lapras and onto the land.

"It's not," Clair replied as she withdrew Lapras. "Come on!"

Everyone made it to a clearing in the beatiful land when Clair sensed something. Three Dratinis came floating to her, chirping in fear.

"What is it?" Jen asked Clair.

"The orb of the den is missing," Clair informed them. "The Scared orb of the Dragon...we must find the thieves..."

"We're right here," a voice replied, two figured jumped from the sky and in front of the gang, one holding the shimmering orb. "Remember us?"

"Christina..." Dustin replied. "....And Brittany!"

"It's the punk from the Tower," Brittany laughed as she held the orb.

"Hand back that orb," Clair shouted, "You have no idea what that item is used for!"

"Oh yes we do!" Christina laughed. "If you want the orb your gonna have to battle," Christina held a pokeball with her right hand. "Charizard go!" she threw it as a huge red dragon formed.

'Arcanine and Lapras are tired and Kingdra can't fight on the land,' Clair said to herself and enlarged a pokeball, "Go Dragonair!" she threw it and a fimilar long dragon formed. "Use Dragonbreath!"

"Dragonbreath!" Christina ordered.

As Dragonair opened it's mouth Charizard blew out a greenish flame, hitting Dragonair in the face and burning it's silky skin.

"Dragonair?!" Clair gasp.

"This'll call for backup!" Shane said and threw a pokeball, summong Noctowl, "Hit it with a Confusion!"

"Flamethrower Charizard!"

The mighty dragon roared and unleashed a dark redish/yellow flame, burning the flying owl and knocking it out.

"Return," Shane gasp, "This is one mean Charizard!"

"Go Quilava!" Dustin threw his pokeball and called on the mouse, it's body light up in flames. "Flamethrower!"

"Help Quilava out!" Clair ordered Dragonair, "Flamethrower!"

Both pokemon roared as two powerful redish flame jets hit Charizard hard in the stomache, but didn't hurt it.

"Ha!" Brittany laughed, "Christina's Charizard is unstopable!" she stuck out her tounge.

"Use Dragonbreath!" Christina ordered.

"Safeguard!" Clair countered.

Charizard blew out a powerful green flame at Quilava, the long dragon glew blue and took the hit, Dragonair was unharmed by the attack.

"Finish them off with Hyper Beam!" Christina smiled.

Charizard opened it's mouth and formed an orange orb, firing it in the shape of a beam, smacking into Dragonair and knocking it into Quilava, both pokemon fainted.

"Return!" Dustin and Clair said together as they recolloceted their fallen partners.

"I have nothing left," Clair said to Dustin. "This can't happen they can't get away!"

"None of my team is strong enough," Shane and Jen said in unision.

Dustin enlarged his ultraball, "I'll give Pupitar a try!" he threw it and the rock type formed with a grunt, making Christina and Brittany laugh.

"What a twarp!" Brittany laughed. "Take care of it," she laughed.

"Flamethrower!" Christina commanded with a laugh.

Charizard roared and unleashed a powerful redish flame, burning the tough skin of Pupitar and leaving black marks, Pupitar grunted in pain and shut it's eyes.

"Pupitar..." Dustin slowly said as his pokemon grunted in agony. "Pupitar you can't handle it," he enlarged his ultraball, "Re-" he started but Pupitar began to glow white.

"Wha?" Shane and Jen gasp.

"Your Pupitar is evolving..." Clair informed everyone.

Pupitar grew in size, as it light died down a whole new figure appeared, a huge tyrant, it roared a powerful yell, echoing through the Dragon's Den.

"Tyranitar..." Dustin gasp, he then jumped up, "Yes! You evolved!"

"That's not enough," Christina laughed, "Dragonbreath!"

"Show it your Dragonbreath!" Dustin retaliated.

Charizard's green flame almost hit Tyranitar when it blew out a strongest greenish/blue flame, devouring Charizard's attack and the red dragon.

"NO!" Brittany whined, "We allways lose..."

"I can't..." Christina withdrew Charizard, "Believe it....."

"You'll never get this orb!" Brittany laughed and started to run the opposite direction of Clair and the gang.

"Dratini go get the orb!" Jen threw her pokeball and called on her newest memeber of her team. The small dragon flew fast and caught up with Brittany, it wraped it's tail around the orb and took it.

"No!" Brittany yelled, "We're in so much trouble!" she ran away with Christina behind her, the two made it far until three wild Dratinis appeared in front of them.

"Nice dragon..." Christina and Brittany stoped in front of the dragons, "Um.....we didn't mean to hurt you..."

"Dra..." the three Dratini's eyes turned to flames as they slamed their tails into the two rockets, knocking them into the air.

"We're blasting off agian!" the cried as they were thrusted out of sight.

"Good job," Jen said as she took the orb from her Dratini, she walked to Clair, "Here you go," she handed it to the leader.

"Thank you," Clair smiled and took the orb.

"Tyranitar!" Dustin huged his newly evolved pokemon, he couldn't get his arms around it entirely but tried to anyways.

"We'll continue our match as soon as we get to the gym," Clair told Dustin, who only smiled at his new Tyranitar.

***Kinda short agian, but Dustin finally got Tyranitar, the second orb is safe, yeah! anyways the final badge battle is the next chapter! please R&R!***
