As the clouds flew by, a young girl pranced along the lonely sidewalk of the park. It was cool today, and she enjoyed the emptiness of the area. As she moved towards a fountain, her Lombre followed, running with its arms in the air. The girl sat on the fountain, her pink skirt folded perfectly beneath her. Her long hazel hair flew in the wind as her blue eyes stared into the air. She loved today, it was different than usual. She sighed in relief as Lombre hopped onto the fountain beside her.
"Lombre!" The pokemon said as it held its stomach.
"Lombre, are you hungry again?" She said in a sincere voice. The two had almost recently stopped at a pokemon center to eat. "All right then, lets go get another bite." She smiled at her pokemon who continued to stare at her blankly.
Ciel hopped off her seat, her pink boots gracefully touching the ground. Lombre followed shortly after, and the two left the park. Ciel hated cities, but since her hunger was starting to return it was her only choice other than starve. When they finally reached a pokemon center, Lombre broke away from their walk and sped into the heavy sliding door. She followed it into the building, which was three stories high. The two walked up to the desk clerk, another Nurse Joy, just like in the other towns and cities.
"Welcome to Varis City Pokemon Center, how may I help you?" Nurse Joys were always in a happy and helpful mood, which was wierd due to the fact that they had to stay at their desks unless they really needed to. Ciel told the Nurse about their situation, and she pointed her into the food court, which was floor two.
Ciel and Lombre walked up a flight of stairs into a room filled with trainers, tables, and food. Lombre tried to speed into the fray, but Ciel held him back. "Not this time, you wouldn't want to get lost would you?" She said as she stared at the other trainers. Everyone was caught in the complex hustle and bustle of the modern world. She and her Lombre walked over to a table and sat. About five minutes later a man walked up to her. He held a book in his hands, and he looked old, not old as in grey hair, no teeth, and the inability to hear clearly, but old as in really wise. She looked up at him, confused.
"Ciel," He said in a cold shivering voice. " Time is near." His tone was very flat, and when he was done he stared at the girl, who statred to stare at him. Then shortly after that he walked away.
"What?" She said, shocked at the man's dark message. Butterflies started to gather in her stomach, and her appatite receded. She was confused, shocked, and scared at the same time. "Maybe, he was just trying to scare me." She said in disbelief. Nurse Joy walked up to her table with two plates, but by the time she got there, the two were nowhere to be found.
"Arcanine, use flamethrower!" A man said. Arcanine spewed an intense flame at Lombre.
"Lombre, jump and use water gun!" Ciel yelled. Lombre dodged into the air as the heavy stream of fire missed its feet. Lombre then opened its mouth and a powerful stream of water launched. The blast of water hit Arcanine, who then flinched.
"Arcanine, take down!" Arcanine ran towards Lombre who was just landing from its jump. Not having enough time to retaliate, Lombre took a direct attack. Lombre flew into the air, and shortly after hit the ground as hard as a boulder.
"Lombre!" Ciel screamed in terror. Lombre lay on the ground, not out yet. Lombre flipped into the air, landing in front of Ciel, panting.
"Hey, can you go on?" Ciel said. Lombre nodded. "Good, now use-" At that moment Lombre fainted onto the ground. The man looked at her, angry at her weakness.
"Get your pokemon to a pokemon center!" Ciel stared at him. "What are you waiting for, your not a trainer, your a discrace to trainers everywhere!"
Ciel called Lombre into a pokeball. She slowly rose to her feet, and took out another ball. "One more go."
"Fine by me!" He said in a malevolent voice. He returned Arcanine, and sent out another pokemon. "Nidoking, go!" The pokeball flew into the air and at that moment a huge dinosaur pokemon was released. "Good luck fighting Nidoking!" He laughed at her, what was once an innocent battle was now a brawl from the gods.
Ciel unclenched the ball and released it into the air. A pokemon was released and this time it was a Jigglypuff. The pink ball look ready for combat, despite its cute look. Ciel's opponent just smiled, a Jigglypuff was sure to be an easy win.
"A Jigglypuff...HAHAHA!" The man was now laughing like a maniac, which angered Ciel. This time she'd win.
"Jigglypuff, use pound!" Jigglypuff leaped into the air pulled out its fist and socked Nidoking right in its face. Being cocky, Ciel's opponent stood in confusion, Jigglypuff wasn't supposed to be this good. Retaliating from his recoil, the man called out to Nidoking.
"Dynamic Punch!"
"Use rollout to dodge!" Jigglypuff rolled into a ball and rolled behind Nidoking. It poofed out of its ball like form, now mid air. "Sing!" Jigglypuff began to sing in a melodic rythem.
"Ji-gal-lee puff, Jig-al le-ee-ee puff..."
Nidoking began to close its eyes, and slowly fell to the floor.
"You know what to do next!" The pink ball began to gather solar energy into a small ball which progressively became larger. After a while, the sphere became a couple yards wide barely held on the tip of its hands. Jigglypuff launched the ball into a stream of bursting energy. Nidoking took the hit and fainted.
She had won the battle, and on the other side her opponent stood, speechless.
Still not happy, Ciel recalled her pokemon and recalled and receded deeper into the city.
