"Are you sure you want to do this? I'm really strong," Bolt warned as he was staring at Tyson, who was on the opposite side.
"Let's do this!" was all Tyson replied as he threw two Poke Balls into the sky, releasing both his shiny Fletchling and Froakie.
"Shock their systems, Shinx and Pikachu!" Bolt cried, freeing his two electric types.
"This will be a double battle between Tyson and Bolt! Begin!" Alexis exclaimed as she watched with Fennekin, Vivillion, Ralts, and Chickortia.
"Quick Attack both of you!" Tyson commanded as both his Pokemon dashed towards the duo of electric types, leaving a trail behind. Both Shinx and Pikachu growled as they waited for their trainer to make a command.
"Pikachu, give me a Thunderbolt while Shinx use Charge!" Bolt countered as Shinx stood in one place with electric blue aura surrounding his body. Pikachu dashed to the charging pair and jumped into the air, letting out a blast of yellow electricity. Pikachu held his arms up, giving the move more juice.
"Evade with Double Team!" both Froakie and Fletchling duplicated themselves with multiple copies. As the Thunderbolt took out more than half of the clones, the real Froakie and Fletchling slashed Pikachu and sent him flying back. Pikachu regained his balance and leaned on all fours next to Shinx.
"Spark Shinx! Pikachu, make a path with Quick Attack!" Bolt yelled as Pikachu left a trail of white light after heading for the duo. Shinx released blue electricity over his body and ran in Pikachu's trail. Froakie and Fletchling dodged the Quick Attack, but Shinx smashed into Froakie as he fell on his back.
"Get Shinx back with Razor Wind!" Tyson screamed as Fletchling angrily, swiped both his wings back and forth, creating small razor shaped winds. The sharp winds slashed Shinx as he rolled back in Bolt's direction.
"Thunderbolt Shinx! Thundershock Pikachu!" Bolt instructed, with giving the two a clue who to aim their attacks. After they shrugged their shoulders, both let the electric moves out of their bodies. The large streams all over the battlefield, hitting anything in sight.
"Froakie, protect Fletchling with a Frubble Shield!" Froakie grabbed some of his bubbles off his back and sprung up into the air. Once in front of Fletchling, Froakie smashed the bubbles together as one wide shield. The Thunderbolt came first and Froakie pushed the shield in its way. The Thunderbolt gave a struggle, but was subdued. Next shot the Thundershock and was absorbed into the shield like the previous.
"Nice thinking," Bolt said as he popped up his collar. Shinx and Pikachu made their way back to their trainer and growled, unsatisfied with the battle so far. "We're not done yet!"
"I would hope so," Tyson said, turning his hat around. Fletchling and Froakie walked back, eyeing their opponents casually. "Double Team! Then use Aqua Shuriken and charge!" Tyson spat out as he pushed his arm forward. The duo copied themselves with more clones than last time. All the Froakie clones created a Water Pulse in a palm. The Fletchlings whipped up a Razor Wind and use it towards the Water Pulse. The combination made the winds rotate fast around the Water Pulses as the Tiny Robins picked up the Froakies into the air. The two groups of Pokemon charged at Shinx and Pikachu.
Shinx began to walk up and roared as he was enveloped in a blue light. He began to grow taller as his ears grew in size, along with more black hair around his chest and back. Once the transformation was finished, he roared once more. This time, more threatening and menacing.
Luxio, the Spark Pokemon. Strong electricity courses through the tips of its sharp claws. A light scratch causes fainting in foes. New moves: Swift and Thunder Fang
Bolt grew a smile on his face as he put his Pokedex away. "Luxio, use Swift! Then give Pikachu a boost so he can use Thunderbolt!" both the electric types nodded as Luxio swiped his tail, creating large yellow and orange stars. Next, Pikachu started racing towards Luxio and jumped on his tail like it was a spring. Pikachu flew towards both the barrage of clones and the swift. Pikachu put his arms down to bring out more juice as a large wave of yellow electricity at the Swift. The two moves mixed together to make the stars become a goldish, yellow color as they rode the Thunderbolt. One group by group, they was incinerated by the combination which resulted in an explosion. After the smoke cleared up, the real duo came out and prepared to hit Pikachu, who was still in the air.
"Hit Pikachu!" Tyson yelled as Fletchling released his hold on Froakie as he pivoted his fist towards the descending Pikachu.
"Thunder Fang on Froakie and then throw him into Fletchling!" Bolt ordered as Luxio's fangs grew longer and sharper. They glowed yellow and emanated some electricity from them as he jumped to grab Froakie's arm. Froakie screamed in pain as Luxio swung him and hit Fletchling, who chirped in pain by the power of the lingering electricity. Both Pokemon dropped to the ground and had swirls in their eyes.
"Froakie and Fletchling are unable to battle. The victors are the team of Bolt, Luxio and Pikachu!"

A few hours after the battle, the trio and their Pokemon was hanging out. Riolu was talking to Ralts while Fletchling and Vivillion was flying around the rest spot. Chickortia and Fennekin sat in the shade, not wanting to get dirty what so ever. Luxio, Pikachu, Chimchar, and Froakie was playing tag with each other while their trainers was eating at a table.
"Lunch is ready!" Alexis announced as she put 2 plate of smooth cut sandwiches in front of Tyson and Bolt respectively. Bolt and Tyson started shoving the food in their mouths as Alexis giggled as her friends' antics.
"How's your moves for your contest going?" Bolt asked, making some food falling out his mouth.
"Ok I guess," Alexis responded, looking out at their Pokemon. "I'm thinking about using Vivillion for the appeal round and Fennekin for the battle round."
"I could help if you want Lexi," Tyson suggested as he bit off another piece of his sandwich.
"Sure, that would be great!" Alexis said, getting up from their table.
"I'm not too sure about that Tyson," Bolt intervened. "You focused on that one set up as a finishing move. You need to adapt to your battle and Alexis can't practice with somebody who'll bring her down."
"Excuse me?" Tyson asked, getting angry. "Are you really the one talking Blondy?"
"Yes I am!" Bolt yelled, looking at Tyson. "You have to think about Alexis' sake and your self-growth in a positive way. You need to really become a trainer."
Tyson walked over to Bolt and stood in front of him. Tyson swung at Bolt, making him fall on the ground. Bolt jumped back up and punched Tyson repeatedly. Tyson recovered and pushed him on the ground and began trying to choke him. Bolt kicked him off and shook him until Alexis came and broke them up.
"STOP!" she cried, looking at both 16 year olds. "Do you two realize what you guys was doing? You two are friends and friends don't fight!"
"Whatever," Tyson said as he walked away.
"Where are you going?" Bolt asked the gold haired boy.
"None of your business," was all he said as he walked off. Froakie looked off and chased after his trainer.

"Who does Bolt think he is, telling me how to battle?" Tyson asked himself, walking off the track. "I have 1 badge already! I've held my own…I did better than some trainers against the Champion!"
Eventually, he stopped and fell to the ground, feeling his face. Once he gets to his nose, he flinches in pain as he just retreats his hand. A rustle then was made as Tyson turned to see his starter walk towards him.
"Oh hey Froakie," Tyson spat out as he turned back around. Froakie jumped on his shoulder. Tyson looked to his starter to see a worried expression on his face. "What do you want?" he asked, turning on his Pokedex Speech Translator.
"You can't be mad at Bolt for trying to help you," Froakie said, looking at his angry trainer.
"He can't tell me how I should battle!" he yelled, scaring Froakie. Froakie fell off his shoulder and went directly in front of him.
"You can't blame him!" Froakie screeched, causing Tyson to fix his face. "We got our butts handed to us! It didn't even madder if Shinx had evolved into Luxio or not, we still would've lost! Bolt was trying to help us!"
Tyson scoffed as he looked up into the sky. "What does he know about battling? He's just some Electric Trainee or something."
"He worked with Professor Sycamore and knows Clemont, a GYM LEADER! How wouldn't he know about battling?" Froakie snapped.
Tyson glanced at the Bubble Frog with awe as he shook his head. "I'm sorry Froakie."
"You should tell that to Bolt."
Tyson nodded his head and got up from the ground. Froakie smiled and jumped back onto his shoulder.
"Let's head back buddy," Tyson said as he prepared to turn around until a blast of electricity was shot in the air.
"What was that?" Froakie asked, causing his trainer to shrug.
"Let's check it out!" Tyson suggested, running towards the electricity.

"How do you think Tyson is right now?" Alexis asked, brushing Fennekin's tail. Bolt finished washing his face with a wet yellow rag.
"I'm sure he's fine," Bolt replied. "Let's just practice for your contest. Let's see Vivillion's performance."
"Ok. Vivilion come over here so we can practice!" Alexis called out to her first catch. Vivillion landed on Alexis' head and fluttered her wings in anticipation.
"Let's see it!" Bolt cried, motioning all the Pokemon over.
"Let's do this! Vivillion, use Energy Ball!" Vivillion fired a small green orb in the air. "Now use Gust to lift yourself up!" Vivillion flapped her wings, creating a small wind. She flew into the motion as she went higher and higher, leaving some dust as she ascended. "Now grab the Energy Ball with String Shot and spin!" Vivillion grabbed the sphere with a long thread on silk and began to twirl.
"Now cease the String Shot and fire a Psybeam!" Alexis shouted, putting her hand up. Vivillion bit the string as the orb descended to the ground. Vivillion blasted a beam of pink and blue psy-waves that smashed into the Energy Ball. The collision created multiple specks of light green, blue, and pink that fell down. Vivillion finished the performance by landing on Alexis' hair, flapping her wings.
A roar of claps was created by the Pokemon and one trainer as Alexis bowed.
"That was great!" Bolt yelled, creating a blush on Alexis' face. "Now, let's train you and Fennekin for the battling round."
Fennekin walked in front of her trainer as Vivillion flew off her head.
"Luxio, let's test some of your new moves and power!" Bolt exclaimed as his starter dashed in front of him, growling in response. "You can have the first move."
"Thanks, use Ember!" Fennekin spat several darts of small fire at her opponent. Luxio bowed down with a grin on his face.
"Swift to blow it back!" Luxio leaped into the sky and swung his tail. Multiple large stars appeared and over took the small flames.
"Ride the Swift to use Scratch!" Fennekin nodded and jumped on the closest stars. Each time she hopped, she added a trick to it. After the last star, Fennekin cut Luxio's face. Luxio was pushed back a few, but wasn't fazed by the attack.
"Thunder Fang!" Luxio's fangs grew sharper and had several electricity surrounding it. He bit into Fennekin's skin. She cried in pain as she was thrown in the air. "Thunderbolt while she's weak!" Luxio released a blast of light blue electricity in the Fox's direction.
"Use Psybeam and add a twirl to it!" Alexis commanded as Fennekin spun in a circle, emanating a wave of blue and pink waves that intercepted the Thunderbolt. The two moves canceled each other out as smoke was created. Then, Fennekin rammed down with an aurora of fire around her and hit Luxio. Luxio growled and barked at Fennekin, which made Bolt smirk.
"Spark now!" Luxio slammed into Fennekin with blue electricity around him. Fennekin struggled to get up as Alexis picked her injured starter up.
"Good job Luxio!" Bolt yelled, petting the Spark Pokemon. Luxio smiled as the duo walked over to their training partners.
"Thanks Bolt," Alexis said as Luxio extended his paw to Fennekin, who shook it.
"Great! We should head out now."
"Not without Tyson," Alexis said, causing the blonde to sigh.
"Fine, I'll go look for him," Bolt said, with Luxio standing next to him. "Let's go buddy," Luxio barked in response as they started the search.

The team of Tyson and Froakie stood above a hill, looking out to a small yellow round bodied Pokemon. He had black stripes around the center of his body and two long yellow horns that stood on the top of his head.
Elekid, the Electric Pokemon. Elekid stores electricity in its body. If it touches metal and accidentally discharges all its built-up electricity, this Pokémon begins swinging its arms in circles to recharge itself.
The Elekid began swinging his arms, attempting at creating a large surge of electricity. However, the only thing he got was a small wave of voltage. He began to get red and stomped his feet in anger.
"He must be trying to use a move," Tyson examined as he began walking down the hill.
"What are you doing?" Froakie asked, which made Tyson smile.
"Helping that Elekid," he answered. Froakie shrugged and followed his trainer down the hill. Once the Elekid saw them, he began swinging his arms.
"I'm not here for trouble. I just want to help you," Tyson said, having his arms out. Elekid nodded at the duo.
The Electric Pokemon began swinging his arms again to try to release a strong blast of voltage. But once again, he only put out a tiny surge that tickled Froakie. Froakie laughed at the 'move' which made Elekid stomp in anger.
"Chill Sparkplug," Tyson joked, which made Froakie snicker. "I have a way that will help you out. If we spar!" Elekid looked confused as Froakie pumped his fist.
"Let's battle Elekid!" Froakie yelled, which made Elekid smirk.
Elekid backed up to create space as he began punching the air.
"Let's start with Water Pulse!" Froakie charged a small aqua orb and launched it towards Elekid. Elekid began swing his arms in circles and began charging up electricity. Again, he let out a puff and was hit by Froakie's main attack.
Elekid got angered as he lunged towards Froakie, leaving a trail of white light behind him.
"Counter with Cut and Quick Attack!" Tyson instructed as Froakie's fist grew sharper as he dashed towards Elekid. The two Pokemon clashed as Froakie was flipped in the air. Elekid swung his arms once more as he tried blasting Froakie with another move and nothing came out.
"Double Team then Bubble!" Froakie did some hand symbols as he duplicated himself. The Froakies spat out multiple blue bubbles that bombarded Elekid. The Electric Pokemon was thrown back as he struggled to get up.
"You have to stop trying to do that move," Tyson said, which made Elekid shake his head.
"He's stubborn like you," Froakie responded as Elekid stomped his feet.
"What are you trying to do?" Tyson asked Elekid as he looked behind him. A Luxio ran up and started to talk to Froakie. "A Luxio?"
"It's mine Tyson," Bolt said as he walked up towards his friend. "The move Elekid is trying to use is called Thunderbolt. But the outcome is a low-powered Shock Wave."
"Wow," Tyson said as he watched Bolt walk up to Elekid. Luxio walked over to the duo as he nodded his head towards the Spark Pokemon. Luxio released a blue surge of voltage into the sky, which put Elekid in awe.
"You have to build up power from your chest, then swing your arms. Finally, watch the magic!" Bolt said as he and Luxio backed away. Elekid took a deep breath and began to channel some power. Several sparks of electricity formed around his body as he swung his arms repeatedly. A strong blast of yellow electrical energy was released, which made Tyson fall back in shock.
"You did it Elekid!" Tyson congratulated as he picked the round yellow Pokemon. Elekid got embarrassed and shocked Tyson, which made him jump back down. Bolt, Luxio, and Froakie laughed as Tyson got back up.
"Look Tyson, I'm sorry that I tried to degrade your battling skills," Bolt apologized, giving a smirk to Tyson.
"No I'm sorry. I should've listened and not have gotten self-defensive," Tyson apologized as Bolt looked up at him. "Can I tell you something?" Bolt nodded as he sat down.
"Let it rip buddy," Bolt said, watching Tyson sit down too.
"My dad had left my mom and me when I was 8. He said it was going to work out in the end and flew away on his Charizard," Tyson let out, making his listeners get more into the conversation. "When I was 5, he gave me this necklace," he said, taking off his necklace and the green gem shinned. "He said it would help me ascend when the time was right and I wore it every day till the day he left. I put it back on after my battle with Owen because I felt stronger. Strong enough to beat him when we meet again."
"Wow. You have a backstory too huh?" Bolt asked, looking at Tyson. "I'm an orphan. I found my Luxio when he was a Shinx and we worked together trying to survive. Professor Sycamore found us and took us in. That was around the time when I met Clemont. He was and still is my role model and got me to love every electric type. I got sent on a mission to go to Santalune Forest by Sycamore one day and met Pikachu."
"Looks like we are fighting for something then?" Tyson asked, which made Bolt grin.
"Yep. We'll help each other out no matter what," Bolt said, offering his hand to Tyson. Tyson nodded his head and shook his hand.

"Ready to head out?" Alexis asked, picking up Fennekin in her arms. Her two friends put a thumbs up as Froakie leaped on Tyson's shoulder and Luxio walked next to Bolt.
"Camphier Town here we come!" Bolt shouted as they walked towards the old town. Suddenly, a small yellow Pokemon jumped in front of the trio.
"Elekid? Why are you here?" Tyson asked which made the electric type walked over to him, pointing at his Pokebelt.
"He wants to join you," Bolt said, which made Tyson looked confused.
"Why? You helped him master Thunderbolt," Tyson stated, which made Elekid stomp his feet.
"You believed in him and tried to help him. That's all he needed," Elekid nodded at the information and touched an empty Poke Ball. Tyson watched the capture succeed as he jumped up and down.
"With Elekid, I'm definitely going to win the Parfum Tournament!" Tyson exclaimed, causing his friends to smile.
Wow, how do you like that? Tyson captured an Elekid, who is kinda like a hot head! Recap time! Tyson and Bolt battled, which the latter won, thanks to Luxio evolving. The two trainers had a fight and eventually made up, which ended in a capture of Elekid!
How do you like Elekid?
Who is your favorite electric type in the story so far? Luxio, Pikachu, or Elekid?
