Hey, this is chattingchick1 here. We(my mom and me) just got a new computer and I'm going to try and type the next chapter. If the font is too small or big, tell me and I'll not do that in the next chapter.(That is, assuming I haven't lost any reviewers) In fact, that's the reason why I haven't updated in the past 2-3 months. The computer I mean. The old one was so messed up I couldn't get anywhere on the Internet. More good news! A friend came over for a visit and he had a GBASP! I took a few minutes to go through the Pokemon League and refresh my memory a bit since it's been 4 or 5 months since I've played a GBA game. The graphics and attacks are a whole lot better compared to the Silver version(I had to downgrade to a GBC and only have 2 or 3 color games...)

Also, I made a mistake in my last and this chapter. I forgot to include Sidney's Absol in the battle. After writing the chapters I played Sapphire and realized it.

So, without further ado, let the story continue...

"The Legend of The Elite Four"

Chapter 8: "Pheobe... Introduced"

"So, you're the girl who captured the legendary water Pokemon, Kyogre. An interesting change of events." Sidney simply stated, his piercing eyes looking at Kyogre.

"Kyogre! Ice Beam!" Kyogre shouted a battle cry as it shot the Ice Beam at Shiftry. Shiftry was caught off guard and was frozen. "Shiftry, return!" He then sent out his last Pokemon, Cacturne.

"Another grass dark combo, huh? Kyogre can handle it. Go, use your Double Edge!"

"Cacturne, use your Cotton Spore and dogde it!"

The cactus Pokemon easily escaped from the attack because of the Cotton Spore's effect. Kyoge was slowed down so Cacturne acted like it sped up.

"Kyogre!" Harmony shouted from the side. Come on, Kyogre! I know you can do it!

And in a flash of blue lightning, Kyogre was tackling Cacturne, powering up for a close range Blizzard attack.

"Ah!" Harmony yelled. The attack had sent a chilling blast of frosty wind over the room. Her yell turned into a happy laugh when she saw Cacturne down for the count. "You won, Kyogre! You did great!"

Sidney made sure Cacturne was alright before walking over to Harmony, "Congratulations, Harmony. Defeating me in a Pokemon battle is impressive, but I'm sure defeating the whole Pokemon League will make your boyfriend like you even more."

"Huh?" Harmony said. After realizing who he meant, her face went a dark red, "Matt is NOT my boyfriend!! Why does everyone think we go together?? I don't even like him!"

Matt gasped, "You don't... like me?"

"I meant... Oh, Matt. I didn't mean it like that. I only like you as a friend, not as a boyfriend."

Matt frowned, Well, there goes my chance with her...

"Hmf." Harmony's expression was angry. She returned Kyogre and headed to the door, "Come on, Matt, let's go." Matt smiled at Sidney as Harmony dragged him to the next room.

The door closed behind them and the pokeballs in Harmony's and Matt's belts glowed. "It must be an automatic healing system." Matt said, "It heals any Pokemon or Pokeball that moves across it."

"How convienent."

"Aah! I went blind!" Harmony yelled. There was a laugh from the other end of the room, "You didn't go blind, dear girl." The unknown voice said, "You have entered the Room of Darkness as I like to call it."

"The Room of Darkness?" Matt called out blindly.

Harmony threw a Pokeball, "Go, Blaziken! Light up this room!"

"Blaze!" Blaziken let off flames from his body and it lit up the center of the room. "Good, now I can see." Harmony smiled, "Now that I can see, where is the second of the Elite Four? I came to battle, not play hide-and-seek!"

The voice laughed once again, "So, you're the one who beat Sidney. How amusing. Sidney beaten by a girl."

"I'm a Pokemon trainer, not some weak girl off the streets!"

"Yes, I understand." The mysterious voice stepped out into the light, "Well, you found the right place. My name is Pheobe, the best Ghost Pokemon trainer around. Let's have some fun, Dusclops!"

Behind Harmony, Matt said, "She must be the second Elite trainer and since she uses ghost Pokemon, the room is dark."

"Your boyfriend is quite intelligent." Pheobe stated. Matt chuckled and prepared for Harmony to yell again. But Harmony stayed silent. She ignored that comment and said, "My name is Harmony from Little Root Town. I want to you to know the trainer who defeats you. For my first Pokemon, I choose Swampert! Blaziken, go beside Matt. I'm used to the darkness by now." Blaziken quickly jumped to the side, obeying its trainer's orders.

"Dusclops, use your Shadow Ball!"

"Swampert! Defend with Mud Shot!" The Mud Shot negated the Shadow Ball.

"You're tougher than I thought, Harmony. You struck me as the weak type. Most get scared after my first attack. Dusclops, use your Shadow Punch!"

Swampert dogded it and the Shadow Punch disenigrated in the dense air. Harmony smiled, "Pheobe, it'll take more than a Shadow Punch to get rid of me!"

It may be a 2 weeks until I post the next chapter b/c I'm behind on writing and I like to be a few chapters ahead. I haven't been writing b/c I haven't had a GBA to play Sapphire with! RR!
