Chapter 2: Fire verses Water
The first thing that Maria noticed when she entered the room was that a rockruff was running about, the second thing was that her houndoom ran straight over to a red haired girl who looked ready to go into a panic.
"What's wrong new girl? Afraid of Pokémon?"
She asked, smirking as the brunette with short hair stood up.
"Leave her alone!"
Maria just smirked at this and shook her head.
"sit down, I'm not going to hurt her."
Maria retorted, grinning as she whistled, causing the hell hound like Pokémon to return to her side.
"You have a mega stone as well…Why don't you stop babying your girlfriend there and put your skill where your mouth is!"
The look on the other girl's face said she had hit a nerve.
"I can't…Not with megaevolution."
The girl admitted before pulling blastoisnite out of her pocket, the implication hanging thickly in the air.
"Then send your rockruff out…Knight is itching for a battle anyway."
"Girls, take it outside. Last thing we need is more building damage due to someone using earthquake inside."
Ivan sighed, shaking his head at how pushy Maria was being, but then again, she was Markus's daughter after all.
Once outside the teens turned toward each other.
"Ready when you are!"
The dark haired girl stated, grinning as she motioned for her rockruff to move forward.
Maria glanced down at her houndoom and smirked.
"Lets go Knight."
"I swear you two…" Ivan grumbled before adding "Jewel, You go first."
He called, earning a smirk from the dark haired girl who nodded and said
"Fang, use quick attack."
"Houndoom, dodge! Then use flamethrower!"
Maria yelled, though Jewel just scoffed.
"Rockthrow!"
Maria flinched as a barrage of stones hit the dog like creature, scooting him backward across the field.
"Shit! Knight use fire spin!"
It went back and forward like this for some time until finally Maria's houndoom collapsed onto the ground. Maria rushed over to him, instantly spraying a kind of blue liquid into it's mouth, bringing it back around.
"Good match boy, Return."
She stated, holding out a ultimate ball for it to retreat into.
"here, your Rockruff needs healed too."
She stated, tossing the bottle to Jewel before sighing
"See you back in the dorms, I need to get him to a heal center."
Once she had left Jewel looked down at the potion and then up to Ivan.
"I thought everyone said she was on Team flame."
She stated, earning a sigh.
"Her father is Markus Sinclair, leader of team flame. That girl has more problems than people realize, though the cruelty of the father did not pass down to the daughter so to speak, not even when he would force her."
He answered before adding
"At least give her a chance, everyone is so quick to judge her based on her lineage that they don't see her for who she is."
