"Okay, Axew use dragon rage and Deino use flamethrower", command Trent.
The tusk pokemon fires an orange orb from its mouth and irate pokemon fires a stream of fire from its mouth. Both the attack collided making a mini-explosion.
"Good now rests both of you", he said as he sits down against the tree. Both of his pokemon also lies beside him. They are training since morning as Trent prepares for the tournament organized by Prof Brick.
"You two are doing pretty good. Rest for now. Then we will practice iron tail and crunch", he said. Both of his Pokemon nodded and trio lies in the shadow of the tree.
Trent, the confidence of his pokemon and faith in them, walks towards the Driftveil City.
"Now, I will prove everyone how good I am", he thought and continues his walks towards the big city.
"Trent, you come how, how are you? Are you okay? Are you heart?", said the lady in her mid-30s as Trent entered in a white house.
"Mom, I am good. I caught cool Pokemon", he said as he picks out two pokeballs and a small tusk pokemon and a levitate pokemon appeared.
"They are so cute", said the lady as she picks up the pokemon's and started to cuddle the. They both are enjoying the company of a lady. Trent is also smiling watching his mother loving his pokemon.
The next day, Trent wakes up and gets ready.
"Today is the day", he thought as he rushes towards the Professor's lab. He arrived just in time as he sees some old and some new faces gathered in the arena. Professor Brick is standing in front of him.
"So, I announce the start of Prof. Tournament. You young heroes will display your abilities in this tournament", Professor announced.
Professor Brick randomly shuffled some cards with trainers' faces on it and placed them on a large board. "These are the match-ups for round 1", he said. "First round will be a one-on-one battle. The loser will be eliminated", he continued.
Trent sees his card with some unknown trainer.
After a few battles, Trent's turn comes. He is standing on one side of the field. He is wearing a white t-shirt and a black shirt on it with blue jeans with white shoes. On the other side, a trainer similar to his age is standing, he is wearing a green shirt with black shorts.
"This is a battle between Trent Fernandez and Ken Wills, Both trainers will use one pokemon. Now begin", said Brick as he raised both the flags in his hands.
"Axew, I choose you", said Trent as he throws a Pokeball and a Tusk pokemon appeared on the field.
"Deerling goes", said another trainer as a deer pokemon appeared on the other side of the field.
"Axew, use iron tail", said Trent
"Deerling use tackle", said Ken
Axew rushes towards Deerling with its tail glowing white. Deerling also rushed towards Axew but is his by the glowing tail.
"Good Axew now dragon rage", command Trent
"Now Deerling, jump and use double kick", commands Ken
The Tusk pokemon fires a blue orb at Deerling but it jumps in time and hits Axew with multiple hits with its legs.
"No Axew. Use dragon rage again", cried Trent
"Deerling use the tackle to end this", commands Ken
Deerling rushes towards Axew but Axew fires another blue orb from its mouth sending Deerling backward.
"Now Axew, use dragon rage", said Trent as he is sensing his victory
"Deerling use double kick", commands Ken
Axew fires another blue orb of energy that hits Deerling who is still injured from the last attack. The orb hits Deerling knocking it out.
"Deerling is unable to battle, Axew is the winner and Victory goes to Trent", said Prof. as he raises the flag of Trent's side.
"Wow Axew we did it", said Trent as climbs on Trent. He then shakes his hand with Ken and returns to his seat.
After this, Trent goes on to win two more battles with his Axew against an Emolga and a Pidove, placing his in the last four.
"So here are the semi-final battles", Said Brick as he shuffles four cards and places them on the board. Trent looks at the board and finds himself against a familiar opponent.
"So, you finally make this. But I will defeat you" Trent hears a voice from behind. He turns back and finds a boy wearing a black shirt and baggy green lower. He is a little taller than Trent with brown hair.
"I will defeat you Shawn", said Trent
"We will see", said Shawn and goes away.
"This battle is between Trent Fernandez and Shawn Blaze. The battle is of one-on-one pokemon. Whose pokemon is not able to battle further or forfeit losses. Now begin", Prof. Brick said.
"Axew Go", Said Trent as the Tusk pokemon arrive
ed in the field.
"Vanillite, I choose you", said Shawn as he throws a Pokeball and a small Fresh Snow Pokemon appeared.
"Wow, an ice type. This is gonna be tough", thought Trent.
"Vanillite use ice beam", command Shawn
"Axew dodge and use dragon rage", said Trent
Ice pokemon fires a stream of ice from its mouth but Axew jumps and fires a blue orb of energy from its mouth. It hits Vanillite but didn't do any damage.
"How is that possible", said Trent as he is shocked to see that
"Still a loser, Vanillite use icicle spear", said Shawn as he taunts Trent
The Fresh snow Pokemon fires multiple spears of ice an Axew, hitting the super-effective move.
"Now Finish it with ice beam", commands Shawn
"Axew use iron tail", said Trent
The snow pokemon fires another stream of ice from its mouth but Axew's tail glows grey and it counters the ice attack.
"Good Axew use iron tail again", said Trent
"No, Vanillite use ice beam", commands Shawn
Axew's tail glows white again as it hits the ice pokemon who is charging its ice attack
"No iron tail to end this", said Trent
Axew again hit Vanillite with iron tail knocking it out.
"Vanillite is unable to battle, Axew wins and Victory goes to Trent", announced Brick.
"Wow Axew we did it", said Trent who holds Axew in his hands and smiles with joy. He then sees Shawn emotionless returning his pokemon back to its Pokeball and leaves.
"Tepig is unable to battle, the winner is Gothita and victory goes to Jasmine", announced Brick as Trent noticed his opponent in the final.
In the Evening,
"So this is the battle between Trent Fernandez and Jasmine Rose. Both Trainers will use one pokemon. Which Pokemon is unable to battle or forfeits loose. Begin", announced Brick
"Gothita standby for battle", said the trainer on the other side of the Trent as she throws a Pokeball and Fixation Pokemon appeared. Jasmine is wearing a pink skirt with a white shirt and grey shoes.
"Deino, I choose you", said Trent as the Irate Pokemon appeared.
Everyone is shocked as they see a new pokemon from Trent. Trent uses only his Axew so far.
"A new pokemon, I am surprised. Gothita uses confusion", said Jasmine.
The Fixation pokemon's eyes glow pink but it didn't have any effect on Deino.
"Seems you need some practice, Deino use flamethrower", commands Trent with a smile
Deino fires a stream of fire from its mouth hitting Gothita and causing massive damage.
"Now use crunch", said Trent
"Gothita, use tackle", commands Jasmine
As the Irate Pokemon's teeth glow white as it charges towards Gothita and hits Gothita with a super-effective move and knocks it out.
"Gothita is unable to battle, the winner is Deino and Victory goes to Trent Fernandez", announced Brick
"Yeah we did it we won", cheered Trent as he sees Jasmine returning her pokemon and appreciate her for battle.
Prof. Brick gives Trent an ultra-ball as a reward and wishes every trainer for their journey.
