Welcome to the third chapter!

Reviews: Thank you Pete the Rock for telling me about pokemon in the video games section. I would have never found that out.

And to Goddess of Angels and anyone else who think or know Pikachu is a boy…. I think that I stand corrected. I can't remember in any shows about them saying that. But Pikachu will remain a girl in the story so I don't confuse the readers.

Please enjoy this next chapter.

I'm off Balance

"I want to love you for the rest of my life." He holds her close.

"Dylan… I…" She pulls away, turns around and blushes.

"Are you okay Maura? You're breathing really fast." He puts his hand on her shoulder. Part of his black, medium length hair covers his face. His eyes show how worried he is about Maura at the moment.

"He loves me so much… so deeply…and I love him. But there is something wrong." She thinks in her head. Still breathing fast, she walks over to a park bench and sits down.

"It's okay my love. We will live here someday in this nice, calm, silent town. Just you, me, and our pokemon."

"NO! I CAN'T!" She holds her head and looks at the park with wide eyes. She looks down at her shoes as Dylan walks over.

"Silence is impossible, no music?"

"Music? What is this music you are talking about?" Maura's face expresses a sign like she just had a heart attack.

"MUSIC, NEED MUSIC!" Maura wakes up in her bed seeing her Blaziken trying to fix the cd player she leaves on at night. She grabs a picture of her and Dylan off her night stand and hugs it. Maura's mom opens the door and peeps inside.

"Is everything okay sweet heart? You were screaming and yelling in your sleep for about a good fifteen minutes."

"Just a bad dream mom, I'll be fine. I'll never eat raspberries before bed again." She makes her mom laugh then hops out of bed and hugs Blazeka. Blazeka smiles and grabs a flat head screwdriver.

"I herd you scream Dylan's name. And look at that my young lady! You are holding the picture!" She points at the picture in her daughter's hand and smiles. Her eyes are full of excitement.

"Mom… please don't start." She says sadly. Her shoulder slumped down and now was walking towards the living room with mom. Queen and Princess were sitting on the couch watching a talk show.

"I bet you miss him. Moving from Orre to Kanto is a big jump."

"I don't miss him one bit. He's my x-boyfriend now and I don't care about his silly promise." They just moved to Pallet Town about 5 weeks ago. Maura told her mom that the area they lived in was too silent and moving to a more populated place would be better. She had also won most of the dance contests in Orre and wanted to move on to new places. Maura's mom thought it was a good idea because her sister lived in Kanto and they would be able to visit family. But at that time too, Dylan and Maura had arguments about this decision.

:Later at the big tree:

"That was a bad dream!" May exclaimed. Misty, Maura, and May sat under the tree talking. Maura seemed to be off balance when she was talking.

"Don't let it get to you. You have a match against Ash later."

"Yeah, you're not allowed to use Blazeka this time or no music. Just don't send out any bug pokemon."

"Don't worry Misty. I don't own any bug pokemon so you are in luck!"

"Phew… thank goodness" Ash comes running over with none other then Pikachu on his shoulder. The two seemed excited and happy.

"Maura, May, Misty!" He stopped next to them to catch is breath. Pikachu joined the girls on the ground and sat next to Misty.

"What is the news Ash?"

"Professor Oak has to run over to Mt. Moon later so he wants our battle to begin now!" Ash is all smiles about it and Maura is not too thrilled. She sighs and tries to avoid eye contact with Ash.

"Great… I'll be over in about three minutes. I'll catch you later."

"Okay then! See you in three!" Ash and Pikachu run off to the battle field.

"Cheer up girl! You're going to beat him no matter what!" Misty smiles and puts her hand in the center of the mini triangle they are sitting in.

"Misty's right! There is no better power then girl power!" May puts both of her hands on top of Misty's.

"Okay, you girls are right! It's time to see girl power in action!" Maura too puts two hands in.

"GIRL POWER!"

:two minutes later:

"The battle between Ash and Pikachu vs. Maura and Gardevoir will begin!" Maura is nervous again, but for a different reason. When she looks at Ash, it's like she's looking at Dylan. They look alike.

"Dancerrella, just use the wind as your musical guide and begin with Return!" Dancerrella puts her hands together like she is preying and puts her head down.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack lets go!"

"Pikachu!" She begins running towards her target then slows down as she sees hearts form around Dancerrella. Dance just stands on her tippy toes balancing waiting until Pikachu is close.

Pikachu avoids the attack and strikes Dance on the legs. She falls down and quickly summer salt's then stands back up. She notice's that her owner is not focused on the battle and begins a Physic Attack on Pikachu.

"Pika, Pikachu!" While in mid air, she wiggles to try and escape the attack. Ash opens his mouth to call an attack, but Dance's eyes turn bright purple and send Pikachu crashing into a tree.

"Ah… oh! Good job Dance!"

"Now Pikachu, try an Iron Tail!" Pikachu stand up and charges after Dance. Still on her tippy toes, she stands there waiting for her to get close. She also waits for a command this time.

"Light Screen!"

"Dance's energy dropped a lot during the Physic Attack. Light screen may not work." Oak predicts. Pikachu jumps in the air as Dance waves her hand to create the Light Screen. Pikachu's tail collides with the Light Screen creating flashing lights. Dance puts more energy into the screen as Pikachu tries harder to break it.

"Go girl you can do it! More power!"

"Come on buddy! Break it!"

Pikachu's cheeks begin to spark creating more power into her attack. Light Screen shatters creating a huge explosion. Both trainers get worried about their pokemon as do their audience. Queen begins to howl, but settles down after her owner tells her to stay put.

The smoke clears and everything is visible again. Both pokemon are struggling to get back up. Pikachu is lying on her stomach pushing her self up. Dancerrella is lying on her side trying to push her self up as well. Slowly the two stand on their feet, using every last bit of energy in their souls to be standing. Neither pokemon giving up at all.

Then Ash and Maura call out attacks at the same time.

"Thunderbolt!"

"Physic!"

Both pokemon nod at each other then fall down not ruing what they did. Oak grabs the flags and makes the official call.

"Both pokemon are unable to battle. The battle is declared as a tie."

"Dancerrella, my poor baby!" She runs to her pokemon in tears. Ash runs over to Pikachu as well. Everyone on the side lines is shocked about the ending of the battle. Misty holds her head down, wondering if she should have told Ash her weakness. Yeah, having no music is a weakness to Maura. But it also turns out to be her strength. Using the wind as a guide, even if the pokemon she uses is not a flying type.

"Maura, Ash, here. I'll heal your pokemon, they battled great." She calls out her Azurill to use refresh on them. Both of the pokemon and trainers smile and thank Azurill and Misty.

"It's no big."

"Azurill!" Ash walks to the side a little bit.

"Hey Ash… can I talk to you later?"

"Sure. Where at?"

"Pidgey Trail at sundown?"

"Sounds good to me."

Okay that's the end of the chapter. What do you think about that intense battle? Please review and I shall add chapter for very soon!
