Hollis: I'm feeling awful about not updating lately, so here's a quick poem. Yes, I'm still alive. High school's just started, so you'll be seeing even less of me.

Umbremance: And I'm feeling not that enthusiastic, so I'll make the disclaimer short and to the point. HollisHawk is in no way affiliated with Pokémon, and doesn't own or claim to own anything canon to the Pokémon universe

In battle
No such guideline is important as
The Battle Spirit
The force that binds us all
To the Earth
Weather Fire,
Water,
Grass,
Air,
It does not matter.

As I fight
My opponent I spar with
Is my equal
Not lesser
Nor superior
We are perfect in
Our own way
Not better or worse

We both channel
The Battle Spirit
Our skills honed
With years of practice
I strike!
My equal lands a blow!
We both are shaken
By equally beautiful
Techniques

I grab my opponent
Lift them with my arms
I leap!
I fly high into the air
And come down
Seismic Toss!
Debris flies into my eyes
A sudden pain
Double-Edge!
