3. Battle! Blaze Vs Florence!

Battle! Blaze Versus Florence!

"Prove it to you? Oh, you mean beat you in a Pokemon battle. Why not? My Pokemon can use the warm-up. One on one battle, then?" Blaze asked, his ruby eyes glaring. "All right then." Florence answered, grinning.

"Go, Marowak!" Blaze shouted, tossing his Pokeball up into the air. "Go, Scizor!" Florence yelled, mocking the intensity of Blaze. "We can do it, buddy." Blaze scoffed, laughing at his naviety. "I thought you were going to call it honey."

The Scizor, however, was not the crimson of a normal Scizor. It was a light green color, rather like that of its pre-evolvotion. "A color change doesn't make it a better a battler." said Blaze, amazed that this baffoon had a shiny Pokemon. "Well, he is my special guy."

"I'll pretend you didn't say that." Dead-panned Blaze. "Marowak, use Bone Rush!" Marowak charged forward, its bone glowing white. "Scizor, use Fury Swipes!" Bone met metal in a test of strength, as Scizor forced Marowak on the defensive. "Marowak, Ice Beam!" A light blue beam shot out of Marowak's mouth, but before it could hit its intended target, Scizor leapt into the sky, its wings outfolded.

"Scizor, use Steel Wing!" Scizor began its decent, its wings glowing a bright silver, slashing trees in its path. "Marowak, Dig!" Marowak tunneled into the ground, out of harm's way. "Thunder Punch!" Marowak brust forth from the ground, its right fist crackling with electricity, slamming it into the head of Scizor.

Scizor was knocked back into trees, crashing through undergrowth, before skidding to a stop. "Marowak, Flamethrower!" Florence, tears beginning to form in his eyes, leapt at his Scizor, getting in the path of the attack. Marowak was forced to send his attack astray.

Florence rushed to his injured Pokemon, cradling its head on his lap. "Better luck next time, buddy." Florence said to his hurt Pokemon. "Better luck next time, loser." Blaze said, mocking Florence and his love for his Pokemon. "Do you have no love for your Pokemon?" Blaze didn't respond; rather, he ignored the question completely, leaving this fool to tend to his Pokemon.
