Amy47101: Hi! Malory wrote this part! I wrote the ending though. Now for the million dollar question: Why does Paul have a fizzy drink addiction?
Malory79080: …?
Amy47101: Wait! Wrong question! That was for something completely different! Real question: Who's gonna win?
Malory79080: Oh! Now I get it! Enjoy…
Disclaimer: We both don't own Pokemon.
Chapter 4: Time to Battle!
Dawn's POV
I smirked at him smugly while he opened his mouth with astonishment.
"Fine." He says a puts out his hand.
I take his hand and shake it with my hand.
"Let's battle now!" I exclaim. I'm pumped for this battle.
He starts shaking his head at me while smirking.
"I'm not sure you noticed but Piplup and Eevee have both fainted. And I don't think Snivy can take it much longer. Why don't you heal your Pokemon at Professor Juniper's lab?" He says pompously.
I huff at him, realising my mistake.
"Wait here. I'll be right back!" I say and dash off.
o.0.o
When I get back to where Paul is standing, I start laughing. He's talking to a tree! Too funny!
"Stop that! Your laugh is even more annoying than your actual voice." Paul growls.
"I'm sorry! It's just that you were talking to that tree!" I say [still laughing] pointing to the tree.
Paul smirks. Why is he smirking? He should look embarrassed. Or annoyed. He shouldn't be smirking!
"For your information, that so called tree is actually my Pokemon. Meet Torterra." He says adding quotations to the word 'tree'.
Paul steps out of the way to make me see a gigantic Pokemon with a tree on its back! Now that I think about it, since we're in a forest, it looked like Paul was talking to a normal [poor] tree. When it was actually the tree on Torterra's back!
I cringe but I compose myself with a civilised [?] question.
"Is that the Pokemon you're using?"
He grunts. I take that as a yes!
"Well here comes my Pokemon!" I say and step put the way to let Paul see my Pokemon: Piplup.
"This should be a breeze. You chose a water type. I have a grass type. Any person should know that grass is super effective against water." Paul says with his [stupid] signature smirk.
"We'll just have to wait and see who wins. Don't let Pokemon smarts get to your head." I say with a wise smile.
He grunts and frowns. I give him a triumphant smile.
"Let the battle…begi-"
"WAIT!" Some one says and rudely interrupts me.
Paul and I turn to see Professor Juniper and her assistants lined up a little way away from the battlefield.
"What do you want?" Pauls asks rudely.
The now formed lines of assistants smile at us and take out some popcorn boxes out of nowhere and start to watch us intently.
"I'm going to watch this battle out of research for the lab. I don't know why these excuses of assistants are here." Professor Juniper says and points at the assistants.
One of the assistants steps forward and starts to speak:
"This is going to be the highlight of my life. I'm not missing this for the world!"
The others nod and carry on watching us both.
"Well you guys clearly need to get out more." I say.
They nod and start to take out some popcorn. They then stuff it in their mouths.
"I'll be the referee!" Professor Juniper exclaims.
She positions herself on the side of the decided battlefield and waits for our signal.
Paul and I both nod with a battle frown on [My one is beautiful but Paul's is just plain ugly].
"Let the battle…BEGIN!" Professor Juniper shouts.
I make the first move.
"Piplup, use Whirlpool!" I command.
Piplup nods and some water starts to warm in his hands. The water gets bigger and bigger until Piplup thinks it right. He suddenly throws it out and [since Torterra is so slow] it hits Torterra directly on the head!
When I take a good look at Torterra again I gape. It doesn't look I marked Torterra AT ALL!
Paul gives me a smirk.
"When will you ever learn? You're not gonna win. You'll fail and lose." Paul says, his voice getting lower as he finishes his sentence.
I frown.
Paul's POV
This is just too easy.
"Torterra, use Energy Ball!" I command.
Torterra starts to concentrate and slowly he forms a green ball of power. Torterra then releases it and we [Dawn, Professor Juniper, the idiot assistants and I] watch as it makes it way to Piplup.
This should be a one hit KO.
"Piplup, dodge!" Dawn shouts desperately.
Luckily [damn it] for her, Piplup manages to jump out of the way. Piplup lands on the ground with a satisfied smile.
"Don't think that you'll win because of this detour. I'll still win. You just got lucky." I say with my signature frown.
"And don't think that I won't KICK YOUR BUTT because you almost him my Pippy!" Dawn counters back.
"Pip Piplup!" Piplup screams at Dawn.
Dawn gives him an apologetic smile and he calms down.
She's got a screw loose. I can count on that.
"I don't think Piplup likes being called 'Pippy'." I taunt.
"Whatever! Piplup, run around Torterra while using Water Gun!" Dawn commands.
I watch with curiosity as Piplup starts to run around Torterra while spouting out water from his beak.
This could be fatal [not]. I better take action.
"Use Protect!" I command.
Dawn's POV
Torterra grunts [A/N has anyone noticed that Torterra grunts like Paul?!] and I watch in horror as a green force field surrounds Torterra, blocking my Piplup's attack.
Piplup can't hold his attack any longer and pulls out. Paul has his stupid satisfied smirk on.
"I'm sorry Dawn but this is your last battle with me. I'll take my Snivy with pleasure. Torterra, use Frenzy Plant." Paul says in a deadly voice.
I gape [with everyone else] as enormous vines surround Piplup, take hold of him and squeeze the life out of him.
"PIPLUP!" I scream.
When I look at Piplup again and I a tear falls from my eye. Piplup looks like he could die! Poor him…
"You're just a sissy. Only sissies cry." Paul spits at me.
I ignore him and keep looking at Piplup, tears rapidly falling on my face.
"C'mon Piplup. You gotta get up. Please get up." I say, bending down.
Piplup groans and slowly gets up. I break out a smile but keep it small. Piplup looks so tired. I'll have to go easy on him.
"Piplup, use Peck." I say.
Piplup starts to run [slowly] and picks up the pace, his beak sharpening and growing.
"Protect." Pauls commands simply.
The protect phase happens again.
"C'mon Piplup!" I push.
To my delight, Piplup breaks through the force field! Unfortunately, Piplup loses balance and lands on Torterra's back at pierces through one of Torterra's leaves on the tree on his back.
Torterra screams in pain.
Piplup and I look confused at Torterra. How can one leaf hurt him?
"Weakling! Get up and do better!" Paul shouts at him.
Something snaps in my mind. Torterra hates it when the tree on his leaf is damaged!
"Piplup, jump on Torterra's back!" I command.
"WAH?!" Professor, the assistants and Paul cry.
"Now Peck on Torterra's tree until it snaps!" I say with a smile.
Piplup obeys.
When Torterra's tree snaps, Torterra screams so hard. Then he faints.
"WOOHOO! I WON! YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH ME! HOW ABOUT THAT?!" I scream at Paul.
Paul sighs, defeated.
The assistants clap and I curtsey.
o.0.o
When every one has left, it's just Paul and I standing there.
"You have to travel with me. Let's go!" I say.
Third Person's POV
After Dawn and Paul left Nuemva, someone else was just arriving.
A boy around seventeen walked quickly to the lab, hoping to obtain any Pokemon that were left behind. His faithful and most trusted partner on his shoulder, a Zoura.
He stepped inside, just as the sun had set.
He looked at all the machines used to study Pokemon.
It disgusted him. Machinery used to categorize them, machinery to see if they could be power sources, those revolting poke balls to hold them captive.
He looked around. He heard that two trainers came by to choose a starter, leaving one behind.
That was what he was here for.
"I'm sorry, Oshawott, but you really can't go with me." he heard a women say with a sigh. "Return."
He heard the sound of a pokemon being returned to a poke ball, and a door opening.
He did the first thing he thought of: Hid in a broom closet.
He stared through the crack with Zoura, and watched as the women who he presumed was Prof. Juniper walked into the room, and set a poke ball on a table.
She sighed, and gathered up several papers, and left.
After he heard the defiant click of the lock, and the sound of a jeep starting up, he slowly opened the door. Thanks to the moonlight, he didn't have to turn on any lights.
One particular beam of light shone on a table, the table with a gleaming poke ball sitting on it.
He quickly went to the table and snatched the poke ball, letting out the poor creature inside.
It looked up sadly at him. It was crying.
"Don't cry." whispered the teenager. "I'll take you in as my friend. We'll travel across Unova, and make even more friends. Okay?"
Oshawott nodded, and said a few words in poke language.
"My name?" asked the teen, apparently understanding the Pokemon. "My name is N."
And that's my ending, and then we can begin the next chapter, talking about Attila and Hun talking to a higher up in Team Rocket, when they land in Unova on their plane.
Amy47101: Ha! Betcha you N fans didn't expect that! Review and make us happy!
Malory79080: I didn't expect that either!
