LAST TIME ON P. P. V. T.B.:

She continued her laughter in a maniacal manner. 'Yes', she thought, 'Roy will so be crushed in a humiliating defeat. Heh…' She smiled evilly again, and then she walked off toward her home at the outskirts of Littleroot, cackling all the way.

Very suspenseful… heh heh… okay, here's Chapter Zapdos. I mean… Chapter Dos (Spanish for 2)

Chapter 2:

The Battle of Lovrina Part 1

After getting a breakfast of sausage and eggs, collecting his Poke Dex and Poke Balls from Birch, (Which, by the way, Lovrina did that the day before, just to say.) Roy went outside of his hometown. As his feet stepped on to Route 101, Roy drew in a deep breath, and sighed:

"Here we go…"

While trekking along the beautiful Route, he saw many different Pokemon. Zigzagoon, which looked like raccoons, only with very furry, jagged brown and white body "segments" and four white feet. Wingull, which were seagulls with long, yellow beaks with a black tip, a ribbon-ish tail with blue at the end, yellow claws and feet, and a blue band around the middle of each white wing. Lastly, the rare Surskit, which had long blue legs, an oval-shaped body, which had black eyes and red half-circles underneath, and a yellow "stick" surrounded by a hair-like thing. Since Roy was a bit of a genius at Pokemon species, he didn't need to look 'em up in his Dex.

Soon after, he reached Oldale Town. For 1000 Pokemon Dollars (From now on, will be symbolized by a "$") he bought 5 more Poke Balls, five Potions for $1500, and three each of Paralyze Heals, Antidotes, and Awakenings costing $1650 total. Roy had $5500 to start, so he had $350 left. Two words: sca and ry. Anyway, with satisfying provisions, Roy once again set out, this time to Route 103.

He hadn't even seen a Wingull on the Route when he found (Insert evil music here.) Lovrina!

"Well, fancy meeting you here. Heh heh…" she taunted.

"Gah, whaddya want, Lovrina?" Roy asked in an agitated tone.

"What else? I so challenge you to a Pokemon battle!"

Roy sighed. He thought that Lovrina wouldn't be persistent enough to battle him. But with his Machop, he was sure to win! He had gained its trust and gotten rid of the stubborn attitude back in Oldale, which also led to its learning two moves it wouldn't by leveling up: Rock Slide and Rolling Kick. So, with a tendency for victory, he drew out the specially marked Poke Ball from his belt.

"You ready for this?" Roy asked coolly.

"I am so ready!" Lovrina replied.

Roy through the Poke Ball, calling out:

"Machop, let's do this!"

Machop grunted as he came out of the Ball, "Ma-chop!"

Machop looked like a little kid, except it had no toes, it had a tail, three head crests, and huge muscles.

Then Roy noticed Lovrina holding the Poke Ball out so he could see a purple eye on it!

"Oh no…" he moaned, knowing what it was.

Lovrina chuckled as she through out the Poke Ball, and shouted:

"Ralts, go for it!"

Ralts squeaked, "Ralt!"

Ralts looked like a little white creature with green "hair", two red head crests, and two arms, and appeared eyeless. But it did have eyes; brown ones.

Battle statistics: This is a one-on-one battle with no substitutions or time limits.

Roy's Machop vs. Lovrina's Ralts

BATTLE COMMENCE!

"Machop, start with your Low Kick!" Roy ordered.

With leg glowing faintly, Machop jumped up toward Ralts, and kicked it hard. But, since Ralts was part Psychic AND really light, it didn't do too much.

"Ralts, Confusion!" Lovrina shouted.

Underneath the "hair", Ralts' eyes began to glow light blue, which enveloped Machop. Using its Psychic-type abilities, Ralts hurled Machop around violently, doing enormous damage, as it was a super effective hit.

"Machop, no!" Roy cried.

Since things are in such bad shape for our hero with only his Fighting-element Machop pitted against Psychic-type Ralts belonging to Lovrina, that he may not be able to pull through. Will he be able to get out of this battle alive if the only moves that are reliable are Rock Slide and Focus Energy? How can Roy pull this off? Will he? Find out next time!
