"You two have been getting on my nerves for the longest time now... It's time I put you both in your place!!! Here and now!!!"

"Not if we can help it!"

He screamed out and the aura surrounding him seemed to increase dramatically. The color so intense and bright it was almost blinding.

Every dose of energy residing from within him blowed out that you could practically feel it.

It was terrifying.

He used Quick Attack so fast that we couldn't dodge it at all. Sylveon blocked, I used Protect.

"Pokemon are so weak and selfish. Never caring about anything but themselves. And they just want to selfishly increase their strength to keep their own asses safe. They will never change. And they never will."

I couldn't even process what Ryu was saying. But I could say his words were having an effect on both of us. What he wasn't realizing though was that what he was saying was starting to piss me off.

"You're wrong! Pokemon live to be strong because of the families we have to protect! They are the reason we keep fighting everyday!! And since they believe in us so much we know that we can't ever let them down! Yes we struggle! But that's okay! No life is easy but that doesn't mean you shouldn't live yours to the fullest. We're all one and the same. It's how we live our life that defines who we truly are. And whether we can keep protecting our families and loved ones. I refuse to hear what you think about us when it's not even true! And I will help my friend, no matter what!"

"Then defeat me and prove you're actually worth something!!"

Ryu swiftly broke my Protect in half with a Karate Chop. But I was already prepared with a Sand Attack and I launched it directly at him.

"Well lookie here... Looks like we got a smart alec here."

"What the- Ahh!"

Ryu punched me so hard in my face that I slid along the dirt in a heap. I was temporarily dazed that when I looked up I had trouble making out the grainy image of two blue blurs fighting in the surrounding dust cloud.

As my vision started to recover, I managed to see Sylveon kick Ryu into a tree in time.

"Oh...w-w-wow..."

My head started to get dizzy again but my eyesight still stayed intact. Sylveon turned to me in relief but he merely clutched his stomach close looking too worn out to approach me.

"Ugh...At least you're okay Eevee."

"Yeah I am...I think..."

Sylveon stood up, clenching his teeth as he went, clearly trying to hide his pain.

"Sylveon. Just admit it hurts already."

"I'm fine. How are you feeling?"

"Dizzy. But I'll snap out of it soon."

"That's good."

"Hey! Did you forget me?! HUARGH!!"

Ryu jumped up, prepping to kick Sylveon from above. Sylvekn launched a Swift attack at him and he fell back down to the ground.

"Aww... wish I knew Swift..."

"Don't worry you will. Once you turn 16, it's going to pretty cool to learn how to use since it's not all that difficult. So having fun with it is something to look forward to."

"I can't wait."

Sylveon offers to help me up and I accept.

"Oww...That f*ing hurt!!!"

"Oh we almost forgot about you. Hahahaha!"

"You won't be laughing anymore once I take control of your friend! So show me what you really got, because I'm just getting started!!!"

"Oh really? We were too."

"That's right! We're going to show you whose boss around here! So look out!!"

Bluffing when your terrified is difficult that I started to wonder how Sylveon did it so easily.

"ARGH!!! SHUT UP!!!"

"Let's go."

(Note : Will the remainder of the fight be a struggle or can they fight back? Find out in Ch 67 ~ Eevee!)
