Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Roller Romance. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Pokémon, Nintendo, Game Freak and a few others do.

(Shalour City)

Riolu launched a Shadow Claw at Golbat while Korrina's Lucario launched an Aura Sphere at Ekans.

"You guys don't know when to quit!" Leo said before he grabbed another Poke Ball from his belt and threw it.

"Mienshao!" Mienshao yelled before a Drowzee blocked her way, Korrina released another Pokémon and now it was 2 on 2.

"Machoke!" Machoke growled before one of the Team Skull grunts responded.

"Golbat, Sludge Bomb!" The grunt yelled as Golbat fired the orb of toxins at Machoke.

"Mienshao, Hyper Beam!" Leo ordered as the Pokémon nodded and fired the beam of energy from her mouth.

It cut through the attack and slammed into Golbat, slamming it into the grunt. Drowzee turned to them as the other grunt shouted out an order.

"Drowzee, Thunder Wave!" The grunt yelled as Drowzee lifted its hand and streaks of lightning shot from the sky, this slammed into Lucario, Mienshao, Riolu and Machoke, throwing them back.

"Lu!" Riolu yelled as it rushed forward, Leo went to say something, but Riolu instead hit Drowzee with a Brick Break attack, slamming it with punches and kicks which toppled the Pokémon.

"Lu!" Riolu yelled before the small Pokémon fell over, injured.

The grunt went to grab another Poke ball before the sounds of sirens could be heard, the two Grunts skated away as Leo recalled Riolu into his Poke ball.

"He never listens to orders…." Leo stated, Korrina skated over to him with Lucario.

"I think we're ok now, they look like their gone and not coming back for a while." Korrina put in, Leo nodded and put the Poke ball on his belt. Korrina withdrew the wheels on her blades back into her shoes.

"Yeah, but I'm betting money they will be back sooner or later, they didn't look ready to give up when we started winning." Leo put in, Korrina nodded and rocked back and forth on her heels.

"Maybe, but for now, we don't have to worry about them, I'm going to go back to the gym, come back when you can, I'll talk with you when you get back." Korrina stated before she popped the wheels back into her roller blades and skated away with Lucario following her.

"I guess I don't have anything better to do once I hit the Poke center." Leo stated before he skated away, looking for the nearest Poke center before he would go and find Korrina.

(Shalour City Gym, 20 minutes later.)

Korrina sat with Lucario as she let her hair down and took her skates off, she also put her helmet to the side as Leo walked in, Riolu wasn't at his side, but Mienshao and Toxicroak were.

"Riolu ok?" Korrina asked, Leo held up a Poke Ball in his hand and twirled it.

"He's ok, but I don't want to let him out at the moment. I love the little guy, and he's as loyal as your Lucario, but he's bad at taking orders. He enjoys battle too much to give up, even when it isn't a good idea for him to be fighting." Leo stated, Korrina took the ball from him and looked at it.

Despite it being a simple Poke Ball, it was one of the first Poke balls Leo had been given when he had grown up in town.

"You can't entirely blame him, remember the first battle we had? Riolu was so happy to fight and nearly defeated Lucario." Korrina said, Lucario nodded as Leo sighed and sat down before Korrina put the Poke Ball in his hand.

"I know, but I want him to be a lot more different than this, he has to be willing to respect me and keep fighting without rushing into fights over and over…. I like that he's so eager to fight, I like battling with him at my side… But he isn't going to get anything done if he keeps rushing in, Korrina." Leo stated, Korrina rolled his eyes.

"Besides battling me, I'm guessing you're going after those Team Skull thugs we saw outside?" Korrina asked, Leo nodded.

"Yes, I will, I hope you come and help, you're the master of Fighting Pokémon… If anyone can stop these guys, it will be both of us." Leo said before he left.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I know it's a short chapter, next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out unlike my other Pokémon stories, Korrina and Leo have known each other for years. Next chapter will be in a few weeks or so and will show Leo looking for Team Skull. Until next, next Monday or so, Lighting Wolf out!
