Flygon wheeled around in midair, raising it's tail up in front of it's emerald green body, before sharply slamming it down, sending a powerful Sandstorm straight towards Blaziken. The sand twisted and writhed through the air, like a snake. br

"Blaziken, quick, get out of there!" May, the brunette haired coordinator yelled from the front of the battle field, her eyes wide with fear and excitement. br

Hearing its trainer's command, Blaziken swiftly leaped into the air with such force, a trail of flame could be seen on the ground. The sandstorm died down, and Blaziken landed softly on the earthy ground again. br

"Absol, now use Iron Tail!" Drew called from the opposite end of the battle field, a stern look in his eyes. br

The white furred Pokemon began to run towards Blaziken, its tail glowing a light shade of silver, signifying the Iron Tail attack. br

"Beautifly, use Psychic on Absol!" May called to her multicoloured butterfly Pokemon, which was carefully surveying the battle. br

Drew heard his opponent's command, and, realising that Psychic could ruin his plan for victory, yelled another command to his dragon type ally, Flygon. br

"Flygon, use Quick Attack and stop Beautifly! Now!"

br
Flygon let out a rather loud cry before zooming in on Beautifly, whose eyes had begun to glow a light blue. br
"Beautifly, look out!" May called out to her Pokemon, who was now about a metre away from the dragon Pokemon, but it was too late. Flygon's tailed slammed hard into Beautifly, who was sent flying backward by the blow. Beautifly skid along the ground, sending dirt flying through the air.

br
"Beautifly, please, get up!" May desperately called to her Pokemon, but Beautifly didn't respond. She took out a Pokeball and a red light was emitted, pulling Beautifly back.

br
br
Absol's Iron Tail hit Blaziken square in the chest, and it was thrown onto it's back. Absol jumped back to join its comrade, congratulating Flygon on it's victory.

br
"Yeah, good work Flygon!" Drew called when he saw that the attack had worked without a hitch.

br
Now it was just Blaziken, against Drew's Flygon and Absol, and May knew that those two weren't going down without one helluva fight. May straightened herself up, and so did Blaziken. It was obvious Blaziken was exhausted, but it wasn't going to give up.

br
"Flygon, now use Steel Wing! Absol, Water Pulse!" Drew yelled, as his Pokemon cried out. Flygon's wings glowed silver and Absol started to generate waves of water around itself.

br
May gasped at the call of attacks, before looking at her tired Blaziken. She thought for a moment, trying to figure out what to do next. She knew that if she dodged Water Pulse, Flygon's Steel Wing would probably hit, and vice-versa. Either way, Blaziken would be in trouble. Unless…

br
br
Blaziken evaded Absol's Water Pulse attack, and with mere seconds to spare, jumped onto Flygon's back, taking half the damage of the Steel Wing attack. Flygon looped in the air wildly, trying to get Blaziken off of it.

br
"Good work, Blaziken, now finish it with Fire Blast!" May felt happy now, things were looking up for her.

br
Blaziken opened it's beak, and sent a gush of flames down onto Flygon. Everyone heard Flygon cy out in pain, before hitting the ground with a thud. Drew gasped, before returning Flygon to it's Pokeball.

"Good work Flygon, you were great."

br
You were awesome, Blaziken! Good job!" May congratulated her Pokemon, and then her gaze switched to her opponent, who, oddly enough, looked none too disappointed by the loss of his one Pokemon. In fact, he looked happy.

br
br
And he was. Drew was happy, because May had gotten a lot stronger than she used to be, and so had her Pokemon. He smiled, before returning Absol to it's Pokeball, too.

br
"Good battle, May. You win."
