Paul's POV
I was surprised that we were able to get dad's Dewgong out so quick. It was too easy. But, I stayed on my toes. Tyranitar was fiercely tough. This wasn't going to be easy. I looked in my hand and saw the soothe bell that Ash had just gave me. I couldn't help but wonder why he kept it.
Was what he said about me being his friend before I told him my secret true? And if it was, that meant Ash had always knew-like Ranee-I would eventually come back to my senses. I smiled. I looked at Ash and thought, 'Your dad would be proud.' I quickly redirected my attention to the battle. Ash went next and said to Pikachu, "Pikachu, Volt Tackle!" "Pika!" The yellow mouse said. Pikachu ran towards my dad's Tyranitar with absolutely no fear. The memory of Ash's father doing the same thing way back when came into my mind. I smiled.
I decided to cover Pikachu-just in case. "Torterra, Leaf Storm!" "Terra!" The content Pokémon said. Leaf Storm blended into the Volt Tackle-like in a contest-making Pikachu shine. 'Huh, so that's what a contest move looks like.' I thought. The two attacks hit dead on but I knew that without a fighting type move, we were toast. But, we had to try-for my honor, for my brother's honor, for my mother's honor, and Ash's fathers' honor. Tyranitar seemed weakened but we were far from done.
Just then, Officer Jenny pulled up. Ash and I smiled. Now, all we had to do was to win this battle. Ash commanded, "Pikachu, Iron Tail!" I went after Ash and said, "Torterra, Frenzy Plant!" My dad sneered and commanded, "Tyranitar, Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar's Hyper Beam was launched and Pikachu quickly dodged it. It was headed right for Torterra. Without hesitation, I jumped out in front of Torterra and the Hyper Beam hit me. I went back a little and collapsed. The last thing I saw was Torterra looking at me filled with worry.
