Day 02: 'Playing a video game'

Non-Despair AU, Set in their school years

Summary: Gundam believes he is the very best (like no one ever was), but Sonia thinks she can beat him.

Gundam laughed, clutching his 3DS in his hands tightly, stylus tapping the lower screen as he chose his team of Pokemon. He glanced over at Sonia, who was doing the same, but in a much calmer matter.

"Okay, 'Naka. Are you ready?" Sonia asked, looking up.

"Yes, princess. Prepare yourself, for my team shall come through victorious!" Gundam announced, sending the battle request. After setting up their items and choosing the orders of their teams, the two began their battle.

Sonia's first Pokemon was a Flygon, Gundam choosing a Pidgeot.

Sonia grinned, choosing to use Stone Edge on the opposing Pidgeot, glad she had taught the move to her Pokemon. The Flygon's Quick Claw let Sonia's Pokemon move first, and nearly took out Gundam's Pideot, had it not been for the Focus Sash it was holding.

"Oooh…I nearly took it out!" Sonia complained.

"The mighty Focus Sash lets the powerful Pidgeot hold on!" Gundam shouted, laughing heartily. Sonia pouted at him, but he merely smirked. His Pidgeot used Twister, but the move only took out half of his opponent's HP. He grumbled, mood quickly changing.

The next round, Pidgeot was taken out with Quick Attack. Sonia giggled when Gundam glared at the top 3DS screen. He wasn't going to take this loss lightly, Sonia assumed - he took his Pokemon very seriously. Gundam sent out a Weavile next, whose Ice Beam outsped Flygon, taking it out. He grinned smugly at Sonia, who rolled her eyes playfully, sending out an Infernape.

"Hmmm…good choice…" Gundam muttered, Sonia choosing to use Flare Blitz on her opponent. Gundam switched out, sending in an Aromatisse, which made Sonia frown. Fairy-types were weak to Fighting-type moves, weren't they?

Unfortunately, she had forgotten it was the opposite, and Gundam's Aromatisse caused her Infernape to faint to a critical Moonblast. Sonia sighed - Infernape was one of her best Pokemon.

"Damn it! I forgot the type resistances…" She cursed. Gundam patted her shoulder in a slightly awkward manner.

"Do not worry - I often forget them as well," He said.

Soon enough, however, Sonia had gotten her revenge - taking out the rest of Gundam's team besides one of his many Dedenne, named Cham-P. Sonia still had two Pokemon left - Talonflame and Garchomp, the former of which was battling at the time.

"Cham-P is my best Pokemon; the fiercest, fastest that I have trained," Gundam muttered, "Please move first, little electric mouse…"

His wish was granted, and the Dedenne's Thunder fainted Talonflame.

"Hahahah! I have won!" He cheered. Sonia sniggered; he had failed to realise that Garchomp had been sent in, its attack chosen - Earthquake, "Hmm? What is this? Ha! The Garchomp shall fall to Cham-P's Play Rough!"

Sonia laughed out loud; this Garchomp was extremely speedy, and the Earthquake took out Dedenne in one-hit. Sonia was declared the winner.

"Yes! I did it!" She cheered, throwing her arms up, "I love my Garchomp!"

Gundam stared at his screen in shock. Sonia playfully nudged him with her elbow, knowing that this was the first battle he had lost in a very long time, "Cheer up, 'Naka. It's only one battle."

"Yes…one battle," Gundam muttered, before standing up, pointing a finger of his bandaged hand at Sonia. The open window behind them blew in fresh air, causing his scarf to flare around him. The scene would've fit into some kind of action movie, if only they were standing in a battlefield and not playing Pokemon on their 3DS'.

"Sonia! I challenge you two a rematch!" Gundam shouted, picking his 3DS back up.

A/N: Did Gundam win the rematch? Nope. He didn't win until their fifth battle in row.
