[Cues: Pokémon Anime Soundtrack – Burning Battlefield]
Battling Ella was a bit of a breeze for Crimson, and he had made sure to give Marquesha the Lucky Egg as she was able to easily take out her Eevee. Chuka had beaten her Growlithe despite the double disadvantage. Ella couldn't help the shame she had seeing Hanzi beaten like that. Unlike the last battle, this one was a double battle.
"Hell yeah. Seems Eden and Hanzi were real pushovers." Marquesha said flexing.
"And you've both proven your worth, ladies." Crimson said returning them both.
"Lector, Elsanna, come to my aid!" Ella said sending out her Scyther and Alolan Vulpix.
"Bulma, entry please?" Crimson asked getting the Pokédex out.
"Wait…the hell kind of Pokédex is that?" Heather asked.
"A custom model. Now about your request, Crimson." Dex Bulma said before starting up on the entry, "Alolan Vulpix, The Fox Pokémon, they live together in a skulk, helping one another. Before eating their prey, they freeze it solid with their –58 degree Fahrenheit breath. Think Sub-Zero…if it were a Pokémon."
"Well that was dark…" Lindsay said mildly disturbed.
Lector looked at Elsanna with a worried eye, but Elsanna looked impassive.
"But I prefer hot food." Elsanna said awkwardly.
"Screw it…let's just skip the shock. Kimiko, Atlas, prep for a takedown!" Crimson said sending out his Charmleon and Gyarados.
"Lector, Aerial Ace on Atlas! Elsanna, Aqua Tail! Go for Kimiko!"
Lector flips in the air, then it becomes engulfed in streaks of white light and flies into the Atlas as Elsanna had streams of cold water spiraling around her tails as she leapt up after Kimiko.
"Kimiko, square up with Iron Tail! Atlas, ready your defenses and return fire with Flamethrower!" Crimson said dramatically.
The moment Lector hit Atlas and heard that order, he looked at the grinning Atlas.
"Aw….shit." Lector said paling.
Atlas roasted the sword-armed bug and Kimiko rushed in clashing her metallic-boosted tail against a whirlpool of tails. The two landed on the ground and everything went silent.

Kimiko twitched falling on one knee panting but she turned to Elsanna who looked just as bad.
"Come on…" Crimson/Ella thought.
"I…you…crap." Elsanna said falling down and passing out.
"Game set match! Crimson, wins!" Kristen said as Crimson began healing up his Pokémon before returning them.
"So, Lindsay? You ready?" Crimson said steeled.
"Nope. You and I will fight…soon. You and Gary should go for it." Lindsay said sweetly. "I'm not ready yet."
Something about that was off to Crimson, but brushed it off. Fighting Gary was on his to-do list and he was more than happy to deliver.
"So how we doing this? Single, doubles, or triple?" Crimson said excitedly.
"Single, and we'll use all of our Pokémon." Gary said getting his balls out. "You've been holding back and half-assing."
"Then, I'll give you everything." Crimson said back-flipping to get some distance away. Dex Bulma pumped out music to set the tone for this first battle among rival.

"Nidorina, I choose you!" Gary said sending out the poison pin Pokémon.
"Lady Morticia, come forth from the shadows!" Crimson said as Lady Morticia seeped out of her ball and took presence. "And Sucker Punch!"
"Nidorina, Bite!" Gary said as Nidorina charged to clamp down on the ghost.
"Just as planned you attacked." Crimson said as Morticia gained a burst of speed.
She punched Nidorina with a powerful blow right about it is about to bite down on her.
"Sucker Punch only works if the opponent chooses to use an offensive move…thus Sucker Punch will never miss." Kristen said innocently as Nidorina.
"Cheap, but I'll give you props for getting me off-guard." Gary said returning the Nidorina. "I should have evolved it with the Moon Stone sooner. All right, Raticate, you're up."
"Ah yes, I have one as well. A shiny, but he's with the professor. He'll kill me when I tell him you have one." Crimson said before turning to his partner. "My lady, please come back to my side. I believe Marquesha will take care of this."
Morticia came back to his side saying, "As you wish.", and out came Marquesha screaming, "Who's skull am I cracking today?"
"I'm sorry, but the only thing breaking is you!" Raticate said confidently.
"Bitch, what chu say? Can't hear you with the sound of you dragging your rat dick on the ground!" Marquesha jeered.
Raticate hissed wanted to attack more than anything and Gary wondered what they were saying. Crimson was snickering like an idiot because he did know what they were saying.
"Whatever your Pokémon said got mine mad. That's fine, he won't feel guilty about this! Shock Wave!" Gary said surprising Crimson.
"Marquesha, return the favor!" Crimson said sternly.
"Drop down, ya bitch!" Raticate screamed.
"Hi-ho fucking silver!" Marquesha screamed.
Raticate releases a beam of light blue electricity while Marquesha fired a blue beam of electricity from both of her hands at him. Both were shocked beyond belief as the attack never and will continue to not miss.
"Come on, I can still fight rat dick!" Marquesha said trying to play that it had not hurt. "Crimson, what's your next order?"
"Metronome!" Crimson said as Gary called for Raticate to use Quick Attack.
Raticate raced in getting her before she could waggle her finger. However, Crimson suggested Mega Punch and she had an idea for revenge. Grabbing his tail, she smashed him a solid one to the jaw causing his teeth to crack. However, he returned the favor with an Iron Tail to give her a one-way trip to the ground. Down went Marquesha giving Gary the win. Crimson wordlessly returned her.
"First time ever that's happened. Glad it's you and not your douchehole cousin who did that." Crimson said sending back Morticia. "Morticia will finish the job."
"I won't be like her. I will deal with you personally." Morticia said glaring at Raticate.
"Well unlike him, I'll make you sweat! Raticate, Crunch!" Gary said as Raticate leapt up with his fangs bared.
"Ice Punch, my lady. I believe Marquesha's work needs to be finished." Crimson said as Raticate paled.
"Oh sh-" WHAM! CRACK! That Ice Punch had definitely broken his teeth as Raticate hit the ground out cold and in need of dental care.
The others could not help but cringe as both trainers returned their Pokémon. Two down and three more to fight, Crimson taught. What Crimson hadn't realized was Gary was a bit more driven than his canon counterpart. Seeing Crimson do so much was a driving point for Gary to grind…quite hard.

(A/N: Season 2 and we're off with a rousing battle. I feel Gary is the fitting character to give Crimson some difficulty. Let's be honest, Marquesha's mouth was going to get her knocked out sooner. A good way to keep her funny. Next episode will wrap up the battle! Hope you have the OP/ED selections. The ending theme will vary though depending on the mood. But what does Lindsay have planned?!)
