Hai guys! Meet Ann! He speaks in bold.

*whacks OnlyNeeded151 over the head* Where in the bloody hell have you been?!

I BELIEVE answered that question on my profile, which has been updated, I think.

Ok, ok. But I thought you were dead. THREE MONTHS! THIS IS INEXCUSABLE!

Let's just read the story.

FINE!


Sapphire could sense someone behind her. It was painfully obvious, but she decided to wait for that person to make their move before reacting. So she stayed still, pretending she had no idea.

Then the person jumped at her.

Sapphire rolled underneath the branch she was sitting on, and hung there with her hands and legs wrapped around the trunk. The flying tackle missed her, and her attacker landed where Sapphire was a second before. Quickly, before her attacker could regain their balance, Sapphire let her legs drop, and as they swung backwards, she put extra strength into it, so her legs swung up and landed on the branch. Simultaneously, Sapphire let go of her arms; everything she did put together was effectively a backflip back onto the branch. It knocked Sapphire's attacker off the branch and onto the ground.

"My branch," Sapphire laughed, baring her teeth as she grinned. Now she could see that her attacker was a girl dressed as a ninja.

"Go, Quilava!" The ninja girl released her pokemon. Sapphire didn't recognize it, but she felt as if she'd seen it before..

"Well, 'm always up for training," Sapphire muttered, "Go, Toro!"

Sapphire released her Blaziken before examining her foe. The ninja-dressed-girl was standing on ground, staring up at Sapphire. It was bit unnerving.

The girl ran up to the base of one the trees surrounding Sapphire, and began to climb it.

"Double Team from the trees!" the ninja shouted.

Sapphire smiled as her Quilava scrambled up the tree and attempted to follow it's trainer's orders. Several copies of the Quilava surrounded Sapphire as it struggled to stay on the tree. It was clearly not used to fighting this way.

Sapphire nodded to her Blaziken and they both jumped straight twenty feet in the air, plus the ten feet above the ground branch they were sitting on.

"Hi Jump Kick!" Sapphire shouted.

Toro dove foot first at one of the Quilava surrounding the tree where Sapphire was previously. It made contact, knocking the Quilava to the ground. All the other fake Quilavas disappeared. The ninja stopped running circles around the tree in amazement.

"How?"

Sapphire smirked and dove like her Blaziken, but this time towards the trainer. This also knocked her off the tree, and she landed on the forest floor next to her Pokémon. Sapphire got up and dusted off her hands.

"Not so tough now, are ya'?"

Sapphire checked the trainer. Out cold. Then she turned to the Quilava. It was shaking with fear, afraid Sapphire was going to finish off what little HP it had left. Sapphire bent down, and it closed it's eyes. Then Sapphire started stroking it's fur.

"It's ok," she whispered.

The Quilava started calming down, seeing she meant it no harm.

Sapphire continued stroking it's fur. "I thought that ya' not to getting in the trees was a sign that ya' knew my plan. I was right, wasn't I?"

The Quilava nodded it's head as if it could understand her.

Sapphire was a bit confused. "Hmm.." she thought.

Suddenly, a blast of fire came shooting out of the Quilava's back, scorching Sapphire's hand. She jumped out of the way, holding her burnt hand carefully. As Sapphire watched, the Quilava moved into attacking position.

Sapphire jumped onto a branch moving in perfect unison with her Blaziken. "You're loyal to your trainer, and ya' obviously don't wanna give up.. So let's finish this fight!"

The Quilava ran at Sapphire, eager to finish the fight. It let out a smokescreen. Sapphire's eyes were burning. She knew she had to counter it soon. Fortunately, she knew just how to. "Jump up!"

Sapphire and Toro jumped to the top of the trees and stayed there. They were above the smoke line. But the smoke was gradually moving up. When Sapphire got enveloped in smoke, she beckoned to her Blaziken to stay very still. They stove there, as still as possible, waiting for the smoke to rise above them.

BAM

Something slammed into Sapphire from behind. Sapphire fell off the tree, but landed on all fours, ready to fight. She glanced up to see Quilava somehow managing to jump through the trees, still attempting to follow his trainer's strategy.

"Toro! Flamethrower!"

Sapphire's Blaziken let out a flamethrower, headed straight for Quilava, who stood it's ground against the powerful attack.

When the fire died down, Quilava stood there proudly, unscathed.

"Even if ya' are a fire type, that should've dealt more damage.."

BONG

Sapphire suddenly slumped to the ground, revealing Lyra behind her holding a frying as if she had just hit someone with it.

"Doughnuts!"

Lyra ran to her Quilava and hugged it before quickly checking it's body for burns or injuries. She quickly pulled out a hyper potion and sprayed her partner.

"Are you ok?" Lyra as, unknown to her, Toro towered behind her, ready to win this battle for it's trainer.

Lyra saw her Quilava's back burst in flame, and, by instinct, rolled to one side to see her pokémon take a hit for her, before unleashing it's fire upon the enemy.

"Quilava!"

Her Quilava was fighting a losing battle for her. Lyra knew she should, had to, help. She spotted Sapphire, knocked out, lying where Lyra had hit her with the frying pan. Lyra ran over and grabbed a pokeball from the unconscious girl's belt.

"Return!" She shouted.

Toro was returned to his pokeball, but he immediately started kicking and punching the see-through top angrily.

"Hmph." Lyra glanced at the Blaziken. "That'll teach you to hurt my pokemon."

She ran to her hurt pokemon and hugged him. "When you mess with my pokemon, you mess with me."

Lyra quickly grabbed all the pokemon off Sapphire's belt and stowed them in her bag. Then, she called out to the woods.

"I've got her."

Janine dropped out of the trees. "Well, it sure was a strange battle."

"Pfft. I would have lost. I just decided since we're just trying to kidnap her, I can fight beside my pokemon, so why not? I do it all the time, actually. Anyway, if we're gonna kidnap her, we're gonna have to actually DO something!"

"…I don't care. Let's just get back to Blue and get 4."

"Ok." Lyra called out her Noctowl. "You go ahead of me."

Janine shrugged and flew ahead. Lyra pulled out a blue notepad and flipped to a certain page and quickly scanned it. Then she glanced at her pokemon.

"Fire-proof fur, huh…"

Lyra returned her Quilava to it's pokeball and jumped onto her Noctowl's back. Noctowl got the message and flew off, it's trainer smiling at the pokeball in her hand, seeing the beloved pokemon smile back at her.

"Maybe there's more strategy to battles than I thought.."

Maybe. Just Maybe.


This was NOT worth the wait.

Hey, I'm a lazy person.

I hate you.

Put a sock in it, I'm now going on a mass updating spree, where I update THIS, and THAT, and repeat.

Fine, just don't take as long in the future.

No promises.

I hate you.

Touché.

I suggest to whoever's reading this to find different authors to read, because this one SUCKS.

Fine. Maybe I do. But I was BUSY.

Watching youtube videos?

Yes.

Reading fanfictions?

YES.

WRITING STUPID PROFILE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION ON THEM WHATSOEVER THAT NO ONE WILL READ?!

YES!

I just proved you're a terrible author.

No, but seriously, now I'm going to update EVERYTHING, post, like three new stories, and then work on them some more.

Okay, but I don't see you updating Blues and Greens.

I'm stuck, sorry.

Ok, I'll thank them from all my stories.
