The never-ending determination of the trainers sparked up as to be geared up to take in stance for the battle;
And thus, the battle began.
Red smirked with his face lightly scrunched up. "You sure?" He taunted, attempting to agitate the opposing trainer.
"Completely, so don't go easy on me, pal." Leaf replied, a tad vexed with his question, but nevertheless, her smirk never left her face. Leaf wasn't exactly the sweetest type of female but rather independent and bold, but when judgement calls for it, she tends to take the right to be the most lovable yet bittersweet girl towards that person.
Red's hazel eyes glinted vibrantly as a speck of light filtered through his eyelashes; a firm grip on the capsule that contained of his starter Pokémon. "I choose you, Charmander!" He yelled out with jubilancy, hurling up the Pokéball to the air that released the orange salamander.
"Daisy, come on out!" Leaf yelled out – with no idle moment, the girl swiped up a Pokéball to send out the bulb Pokémon.
Determining whose Pokémon was faster; Red took in his turn and yelled out a command to commence the battle. "Charmander, Ember!" Red seemed to have an advantage over her, using a Fire type over a Grass type.
Charmander grunted in response and jumped back to have distance, then the salamander inhaled deeply until a ball of fire emerged from his mouth increasing in size in gradual speed.
"Don't let that hit you, Daisy! Use Tackle!" Leaf called out as it was a chant, outstretching her arm to the side to openly express her determination.
The Bulbasaur nodded with an inaudible grunt in understanding, it lurched forward from her previous stance and began to rush towards the salamander; and that's when it hits, the poor Charmander accidentally swallowed the ball of fire as impact was made which doubled its damage.
"Chaaar!" Charmander cried out in agony as he shaking his head vigorously as he coughed smoke.
Red gritted his teeth in mild frustration, but he knew that being over-brained to the battle will surely hinder him. "Smokescreen!" He called out to his Pokémon.
"Chaaaar!" The salamander squalled, a dark fog surging from its mouth to release a vast smoke through the area.
Both Leaf and Daisy impulsively going into a misfit of coughs from inhaling the choking and dirty air – with narrowed eyes, they try to scan through the surroundings for the salamander and trainer.
"Where could they be?" Leaf uttered in question, frowning as she glanced at the bulb Pokémon.
Daisy was trying to be cautious with her surroundings, but with the smoke watering her eyes, she wasn't able to focalize anything but worry about herself. She found herself terrified on the next action the courageous salamander was to pull off on her.
"Chaaar!" The bulb Pokémon quickly stiffened at the familiar cry of the Charmander.
"Scratch and Ember combo! Go!" Red called out longingly as the smoke dispersed to reveal the two partners.
Charmander grinned with small fangs that shone vividly as he jumped to the bulb Pokémon; its little claws suddenly emerged into a sharper and long form as dangerous as knives, and then came an aggression of fire spinning about in front of his mouth as it gradually formed a tad bigger than the last one.
The salamander smirked during this as it took heed to initiate the combined move which appeared a lot stronger than it sounds. "Char!" He cried out, quickly swiping his claws once to the Bulbasaur's forehead and finally gushed out an arcane ball of fire which burnt out the energy of the grass type.
"Daisy!" Leaf called out in worry as she watched the salamander oust her dear starter Pokémon off its position, leaving a high-risk burn due to its weakness; and it appeared to have fainted. The white-capped trainer ran towards her Pokémon and scooped the small one in her arms. "You did great, Daisy. You deserve a rest." She said carefully, tone touched with sweetness. She held up a Pokéball and returned Daisy back to the digital universe.
The trainers' Pikachu seemed to have levelled up a stage during the commence of the two starter Pokémon;
Leaf's Pikachu levelled up!
lvl. 13
Thundershock
Tail Whip
Quick Attack
Electro Ball
Red's Pikachu levelled up!
lvl. 15
Growl
Thundershock
Quick Attack
Electro Ball
I forgot to nickname my Pikachu, Leaf thought with a frown. She believed that nicknaming her Pokémon would make them unique and the one-and-only, surely enough, she won't ever forget the names she's thought off.
The white-capped trainer inhaled deeply, but her voice hitched abruptly as a voice rang in her mind. "She was to be a legend." It announced, its voice hushed yet echoed wafted through the brim of nonexistent darkness in her mind.
Leaf was drizzled with questions, what was this voice's tactic? In no other practical way, the trainer was just to maneuver over the thought of it. How was a beginning trainer like her able to uncover this enigma?
"Hey, Leaf!" Red hollered in impatience at the brooding trainer, but as he noticed her slowness in response – the red-capped trainer decided to give out his spur to withdraw the battle and console her from her supposedly distress. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked cautiously as he jogged towards her deep in thought state.
Leaf blinked twice quickly to regain her dominance of consciousness, but unusually, she felt conceited from rousing up; she lost her plumes for the battle because of the voice that filled her with uncertainty.
The concern of the red-capped trainer played with her heartstrings as she stared back at him with a sad smile. Leaf found herself making up a decision impulsively as she met his face, considering that she was going through some complications, she was certain that her fellow crony can soothe her. His warm presence was solace to her.
"I just-" She started carefully yet the girl somehow was impetuous upon it as she thought she was taking her decision wrong. "I'm scared." Those words drowned in fear, disturbed upon her delusion.
Red perked up in interest yet he was overflowing in concern. "For what?" He figured that she might have been startled by something when she seemed to be preoccupied, or it was rather something else – but being a good friend he is, he would say that actions are more consoling than words to force out; he slowly towered over her and wrapped his arms around her, as well whispering sweet nonsense to her ear.
"And she cared for someone."
POSTED BEFORE THE END OF TODAY, BOO YAH!
Okay, I just want to remind to you guys about how this story goes, just a new idea.
I thought it could be a little like Pokémon origins, like skipping a few scenes to speed it up. I know this is supposed to essentially focus on like her journey but I don't want to rush myself. :/
A lot comes ahead, especially writer's block, get a life writer's block.
