I'm glad you guys liked the idea of Syncronize. Many forget about that special ability, and pay a heavy price if they think they can beat Umbreon with Stats problems.

Now here's the next chapter, and it's time for Misty to show what she's got!

Chapter 10

The explosion soon subsided and both pokemon were ready to continue.

"Cloyster! Use Spike Cannon!" Cassidy said.

Cloyster then closed its shell and glowed white. It then launched a bunch of spikes at Gyarados.

"Quick! Another Hyper Beam!" Misty yelled.

Gyarados charged up its next attack, but before it could fire, it got hit in the head repeatedly by the hundreds of spikes coming from Cloyster.

"Gyarados!" Misty shouted in shock.

Gyarados collapsed from the attack, it then struggled to get up.

"Finish it up! Ice Beam!" Cassidy ordered.

Cloyster opened its shell back up and launched a powerful stream of ice right at Gyarados.

"Gyarados, you've got to use Dragon Breath right now!" Misty yelled with a hint of fear in her voice.

Gyarados tried to get up in time to launch the attack, but before it could attack, it got hit by the Ice Beam and was frozen solid.

"Gyarados!" Misty yells with concern.

Cassidy lets out an evil laugh. "Looks like I win that one!" She said, stating the obvious.

"Gyarados, return!" Misty said.

A bright red beam engulfed the frozen Gyarados, and it returned to its pokeball.

"That Cloyster is tough, but it's a good thing I brought this pokemon." She thought to herself as she took out another pokeball. "Starmie! I choose you!"

A purple creature in the shape of an eight-point star with a red jewel appeared on the field.

"You know, I love the red jewel on it so much, that when I beat you, I'll just remove that jewel from it permanently." Cassidy said with another evil laugh.

"You'll never poach my pokemon!" Misty said with anger. "Starmie! Thunderbolt!"

While Cassidy was laughing, Starmie launched a stream of lightning right at Cloyster. Receiving no command from its master, Cloyster got hit hard.

"What the -? No way!" Cassidy said in surprise.

Misty then smirked. "There's a taste of your own medicine for ya." She said.

"Use Withdraw!"

Cloyster quickly closed its shell and stopped taking damage.

"Whew! That was close." Cassidy said, wiping her brow.

Misty just smiled evilly. "I have ways of getting it out of its shell. Use Psychic!"

A blue aura surrounded both pokemon. Cloyster was then lifted up into the air. Curious as to what was going on, Cloyster opened its shell and started freaking out when it saw it was up in the air.

"Now, drop it to the floor!" Misty commanded.

Upon command, Starmie stopped its attack, and Cloyster fell to the floor.

"Now, Finish it with Thunderbolt!" Misty yelled.

Starmie launched another stream of lightning right at Cloyster.

"That's it! If I go down, I'm taking you with me! Cloyster! Explosion!" Cassidy yelled at the top of her lungs.

Cloyster glowed an intense white. It then exploded. The blast filled the entire battlefield. Smoke appeared after the explosion and both Cassidy and Misty anxiously waited to see if Starmie would emerge victorious.

"My Cloyster may've been defeated, but hopefully that Starmie is down too." Cassidy thought to herself.
