~ *Sylveon

Despite her headstart though I easily blocked her oncoming attack.

"Not bad but-"

"HUUUWWARRGH!!!"

I grabbed her other foot in time before she kicked me.

"Let me finish. I-"

Eevee tried punching me while I had both her feet firmly locked in place. I caught it. As I did the other one.

"Grrrr...Echerrr...Grrr..."

"Why are you so eager to- Whoah!"

"WRAAAAGGGGHHHH!"

"Oof! Mmmmrff..."

Eevee suplexed me face-first into the dirt. Making it easy for her to get out of my grip.

"Aagh! That hurt! And don't you dare underestimate me again prettyboy!"

"Mmmmrff...Bah! I didn't! Koff! Koff! Ack! Pouff! Wow that impressive! But you won't catch me off guard like that again love."

"What did you call me?!"

"Don't think nothing by it. It's just- Aah!"

"YOU JERK!! HYAHH!!!"

She missed slugging me in the face, but somehow managed to kick up alot of dirt and dust from her strike to the ground.

"Lucky miss. But you can't dodge this!"

She launched a Shadow Ball at me with perfect precision I had a hard time dodging it.

"Ha! I got you!"

Eevee used Quick Attack at me, but left herself too open on the chest for me to counterattack. I kicked her in the collarbone and tossed her backwards.

"HUAARK! Agh! Oof!"

We both recovered at the same time, much to my amaze, which barely giving enough time to dodge her next kick.

"Your kick was too weak! Take this!"

I dodged her kick and barely blinked in time to respond to a second one. And what surprised me more is that they were both glowing. In seconds, I already knew what move she was using.

"Do you know the move, 'Double Kick', *Eevee?"

"Wha- How did you-"

"Two synchronized glowing kicks? Not really that hard to figure out."

I smiled at her with amusement as her face began to turn bright red.

"Why you- HUARGH!!"

I let her punch me in the face. She looked up in surprise to see me feel no pain or no blood pouring down my nose.

"What the-"

"Ever seen Calm Mind before? It improves my special attack and special defense by one. Pretty cool huh?"

"What- I- Uh! Arghhhhh!!!!"

Eevee used Shadowball but I easily batted it away like a fly. I charged at her with a Quick Attack and punched her. And in retaliation she punched me back.

"Good one."

Eevee wiped away the mark I made on her face.

"But not good enough."

We both used Quick Attack and instead of being tightly locked we were trying to land a blow on each other.

"Trrr! Trr! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rarragh!!"

"Ha! Hyah! Hyah! Grr! Hyah! Urgh! Hyah!"

She pushed me back hard and used Double Kick on me.

I blocked it but was now unable to attack back.

"Ha! Hyah! Hrrrrrgrhrhrgrhhrggghhhrggghh! Argh! How are you so evasive damn it?!"

"With lots of practice."

"Hmmph!!Hmmph!!Hrragh!!!Hraggh!!! Ragh!!! Take this!!!"

She used a Shadowball at me with I blocked but still took some damage. But I could do nothing to prevent a punch to the gut."

"Hurk!!! Aagh..."

I covered my stomach but was blinded by her Double Kicks to my face.

"Sylveon!"

"Aagh! Don't worry Eevee I'm fine."

I said to her as I blocked *Eevee's ongoing Double Kicks with one arm.

"Well aren't you cocky? Just give up already you're through."

"I will never give up. I never do. And I'm not about to start now."

"Well come on then! Show me what you got! Huuuuu...HUUUUUUUAAAAAQAAARRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!"

Eevee launched a deafening Growl at me that I had to cover my ears the deafen the piercing noise.

"Ah...ha..."

"See? You are weak. Now take this!"

I looked up to see another Shadow Ball coming my way. In just seconds though I realized her weakness and how I can take that to my advantage. So despite the piercing noise in my ears I kicked it out of the way much to *Eevee's surprise.

"Hey! How did you do that?!"

"I can't explain now!!"

I launched Swift at her, and since it was undodgeable, it batted her away and deactivated the Growl.

"Oww! That hurt!!"

Eevee charged at me with a Quick Attack. I looked at her in boredom and flicked her forehead once she was within arms reach.

"Oww!"

And before she could even react my ribbons grabbed her and slammed her facefirst into the ground.

I felt a slight rumble in the earth and heard a deafening crunch from where she landed.

My ribbons let her go and I turned to look back in concern.

I was very surprised to see dizzy eyes on her face.

"I guess that means I won?"

"What?!!!"

Eevee and Ryu ran on over to observe *Eevee on the floor.

"Wow! I wish it was that easy to defeat her in class. What's your secret dude?!

"Her speciality is quick and powerful attacks, along with excellent precision and aim. But defending herself up close was her weakness as well as her pride overclouding her judgement. Along with that and hurting her pride just a little, it only made it easier for me to defeat her."

"That's it?! No new cool technique or nothing?! Just hurt her pride and fight her up close and you'll beat her?! Wow that's crazy..."

"Uh yeah guys that's nice and all but...What are we going to do with her now?"

"Can't we just leave her here-"

"No! She needs treatment and we have it for her at home. Leaving here while she's unconscious is not a very noble thing to do Ryu!"

"Okay! I was just kidding but umm whose gonna carry her back?"

"I'll do it."

I easily scooped her up and turned back to Eevee with a nod.

"Such a gentleman. Well come on let's go!"
