Master Quest: Chapter Two
Ravin Verses Landon

"Go, Eevee." Ravin spoke calmly as he unleashed his Pokemon. Eevee materialised from a beam of red light a few metres in front of its trainer.

"An Eevee? You are battling with an Eevee?" Landon asked as he fought back laughter. "Well, I did not know that you preferred the cute and cuddly verity of Pokemon."

Landon was expecting some kind of reaction but he was not expecting Ravin to merely laugh.

"You will find out just how cuddly my Eevee is rich boy." Ravin said. "Go Eevee, use quick attack on his Squirtle."

Eevee leaped into action, its whole body blurred as it gathered speed and rammed itself into the unsuspecting Squirtle.

"You will pay for that loner." Landon said angrily. "Squirtle, counter with a tackle." Landon ordered. The blue Pokemon in its red shell ran forward.

"Eevee, sand-attack." Ravin commanded. His Pokemon immediately followed his orders and a cloud of debris blew through the air, clouding the Squirtle's vision.

"Now, hit it with your own tackle Eevee." The Eevee slammed its body into the Squirtle once again. This time to water Pokemon fell to the ground.

"Get up Squirtle!" Landon ordered. "Hit his Eevee with a bubble attack." The Squirtle got slowly back to his feet and emitted a beam of small bubbles from its mouth and before the Eevee could react, the bubbles hit it and pushed it back a few inches.

"Squirtle, tackle Eevee." Landon instructed, the tiny turtle charged forward once more.

As Squirtle drew closer to his Eevee, a plan formed in Ravin's mind. Squirtle was just a few feet away from Eevee before Ravin gave any instructions to his Pokemon.

"Eevee, reflect." He called out moments before the enemies tackle connected. An invisible barrier formed around Eevee, causing Squirtle to bounce off it harmlessly and land, a short distance away, on his feet.

"Quick attack." Ravin called once more and his Eevee complied. The high- speed attack caused Squirtle to fall to the floor once again, this time the water Pokemon could not get back to his feet.

"You win this time Ravin but it was a flux, it will not happen again." Landon said coldly as he recalled his Squirtle to its Pokeball and walked away. By the time Ravin and congratulated his Pokemon and re-called Eevee back to its Pokeball, Landon had disappeared back into the town of Pallet.

"Wow, your Eevee was amazing." Sarah said excitedly as she ran to stand beside Ravin. "It's so cute as well, I never thought you would have a Pokemon like Eevee."

Ravin shrugged. "Looks can be deceiving I guess." He said simply.

"That was an awesome battle." Seth said as he joined Sarah. "Your Eevee must be ready to evolve."

"Maybe it is but I like Eevee the way she is at the moment." Ravin responded before he turned away from the others and followed the path Landon had taken. "See you around." He called over his shoulder.

"Hey Taylor, maybe you should of challenged Ravin to a battle." Sarah teased as the twins made their way back home.

"Yeah right." Taylor replied. "If his second Pokemon was sonly half as strong as his Eevee then he would wipe the floor with me."

"Not scared are you Taylor." Sarah teased as she nudged her brother with her elbow. "But I know what you mean, that Eevee has me all shook up." She added, her face taking on a more serious tone. "How do you think he could have gotten so skilled as a trainer?" Taylor asked after a few moments of silence.

"I honestly don't know, maybe that is what he was doing with all that time he spent by himself." She replied. "Anyway, we should stop worrying about it and go finish packing and collect our stuff, we have a long journey a head of us."

"Your right Sarah. Race you back home." He said with a laugh as he set off at a run down the street.

"Hey!" Sarah called after him. "Wait for me."
