Surprise! It was my birthday yesterday! (March 31st) Too bad it was on a tuesday. It was a small birthday, but I enjoyed it anyways. However, I woke up today with the worst headache and the runniest nose, so I wasn't feeling well the whole day. I took some pills and It went away for about two hours, but now it's back and stronger than ever. So, I'm sorry if this chapter is a little chopped up or badly done. At least I wrote 70% of it before I got sick, which means it probably won't be that bad. Anyways, here's the 18th chapter of House of Pokémon Legends.

Chapter 18: Serena vs Rosa
"So I got here in the middle of Serena's ranking? Man." Krystal shook her head. She was sitting between the Johto legends, since nobody expected a newcomer so soon.
"Yeah. You missed the epic 6-0 battle against Lyra. Just exhilarating really." Red said with the heaviest tone of sarcasm he could muster and without taking his eyes off
The Daily BuzzNav.
"Well I'm not surprised. She never battled." Krystal shrugged. "No offense though."
"None taken." Lyra sighed in response.
"It doesn't matter because our battle will be the one that truly starts the tournament! I want to see your skills!" Rosa grinned at Serena, who already had her pokeballs in her hands.
"You'll get more than you can handle." She smirked in response.
"Really? Let's start the battle now so you can prove it."
"You said it." And they both dashed for the door.
(After the ride)
"Kyurem's cave always gives me the chills. Oh well, here we go!" Rosa released her Emolga quickly.
"Let's do this!" Her starter, Chesnaught, sprang out of its pokeball.
"Acrobatics!"
"Get back here Chesnaught! Go Yveltal!"
Chasnaught switched with Yveltal, who lost 43% of its health.
"Volt Switch!"
"Foul Play!"
Emolga actually went first and took another 37% before switching for Virizion, who was left with 58% after the Foul Play.
"Sacred Sword now!"
"Oblivion Wing quickly and heal!"
Yveltal was once again outsped, and this time defeated.
"Whatever. Gardevoir, Hyper Voice!" Her Gardevoir mega-evolved immediately.
"Energy Ball!"
Virizion went first but only dealt 29%. Mega Gardevoir then defeated Virizion in one hit.
"What!? That was a normal-type move!"
"Mega Gardevoir's ability Pixilate turns any normal-type move into a fairy-type and gives it 1.3x power."
"Fair enough. Golurk! Shadow Punch!"
"Again Gardevoir!"
Gardevoir went first and left Golurk at 16%, while Golurk defeated Mega Gardevoir in one hit.
"Golurk's ability Iron Fist gives every move associated with punches 1.2x power. How's that for an ability?" Rosa smirked.
"Not bad. Now Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"
"Earthquake now!"
Although they were both slow, Goodra struck first and defeated Golurk.
Rosa shook her head and released White Kyurem.
However, Serena foresaw this and switched to her Aegislash.
"Fine. Fusion Flare!"
"Iron Head!"
White Kyurem went first and took 74% of Aegislash's health, while Aegislash managed to take it down to 9%.
"Again!"
"You too!"
But Aegislash was not fast enough to evade its defeat.
"Chesnaught, Hammer Arm!"
"Fusion Flare one more time!"
White Kyurem was once again faster, but only took Chesnaught down to 48%. Chesnaught, on the other hand, quickly defeated the legendary dragon but lowered its speed.
Serena then switched Chesnaught with Pyroar so she could preserve her team.
"It's Emolga's time to shine! Acrobatics!"
"Flamethrower!"
Pyroar was surprisingly faster than Emolga, and defeated her right away.
"What!? That was a fire-type move! Don't tell me that Pyroar has some ability that makes it an ice-type or rock-type."
"Nope. But her ability Rivalry does 1.25x damage to those of the same gender. However, it only does 0.75x damage to those of the opposite gender, which is why I hadn't used her yet." Serena smiled.
"Grrrr. Samurott! Surf now!"
"Attract first!"
Pyroar was faster and Samurott became infatuated by the female Pyroar's move, which meant he couldn't move.
"Nice job Pyroar. Now Fire Spin with your Grip Claw!"
"Stop messing around and Surf!"
Pyroar trapped Samurott in fire, but only took 8%. Samurott could still not move. At the end of the turn Samurott lost another 12% to the Fire Spin.
"Now Hyper Voice!"
"Come on..."
Pyroar dealt 43% damage, but fainted due to Samurott's Surf. However, it still got damaged by Fire Spin, leaving Samurott at 37% health.
"That's fine. Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"
"Dragon Tail!"
But Samurott was finally defeated by Goodra.
"I'm down to my final pokemon. Dammit. Meloetta, Dazzling Gleam!"
"Earthquake!"
Meloetta took 41%, and Goodra took 58%. However, Meloetta's Sitrus Berry healed her up to 67% and Goodra's Leftovers healed her up to 65%.
"One more time!"
"Again!"
This time, Goodra was left with 24% and Meloetta was left with 4%.
"Quick Attack to finish Goodra off!"
"One more Earthquake!"
Meloetta struck first with Quick Attack, but failed to defeat Goodra. Meloetta then fainted, finishing the battle.
"I thought it would do more damage..." Rosa shook her head.
"You would've won if you used Dazzling Gleam one more time. Good battle though." Serena smiled.
(Back at the House)
"Now that is a battle!" Nate grinned.
"I'm not surprised." Calem smiled at Serena, who did the same.
"That was surprisingly good." Krystal nodded, catching everyone's attention.
"Any chance I can enter? Serena wouldn't have to restart, since I'm already ranked higher." She looked at Red.
"Can you ask me tomorrow? I kinda have a headache that just won't go away. I should go sleep it off." Red got off his chair and was followed by a concerned Leaf.
"Alright. That's fine by me. See you tomorrow then!"
Phew. I got that done. Now I can go to sleep and maybe it'll go away. That way I wake up tomorrow healthy, refreshed, and happy to see the results of this update. Again, I'm sorry if this chapter was short or badly done, I'm really not feeling well.
See you next time and I hope to see your reviews!
