Jolteon stared across the arena at her opponent with distaste, the Geodude flexed it's muscles before waiting for a command
"Geodude, use rock throw!" Geodude picked up one of the rocks that were lying in the "Rock garden" arena and threw it in Jolteon's direction
"Sparky, agility" Evan called out and Jolteon dodged the rock with ease, he knew that Geodude's ground type moves put them at a disadvantage
"Sparky, keep dodging" Evan called as Geodude continued to chuck rocks in her direction, which she dodged effortlessly.
"Geodude, use tackle!" Olive exclaimed, frustrated that she had not yet hit her opponent, Geodude dashed forward but Jolteon was once again too quick for this heavy Pokémon
"Sparky, Dig now!" Evan smirked as Jolteon dug into the gravel floor and vanished from sight, Geodude surveyed the area for any signs of his opponent
"Geodude, Defense Curl" Olive shouted through clenched teeth as she waited for Jolteon to strike
"Sparky, NOW!" Evan cheered as the ground beneath Geodude erupted and she planted a critical hit to Geodude's face, skidding the rock backwards towards Olive. Jolteon stood glaring at Olive waiting patiently, Olive narrowed her eyes
"This can't happen, Geodude…last resort time! Self-destruct!" Olive screamed as she pointed at Jolteon and Geodude bolted forward
"Now Sparky!" Evan called out as Geodude exploded, sending dust and gravel flying everywhere, they all shielded their eyes and faces from the debris and waited for the air to clear. When the air finally cleared there was nothing but an unconscious Geodude lying in the center of the ring, Olive stomped her foot and screamed angrily
"HOW?" Jolteon climbed out of the hole it had used for it's dig attack earlier in the battle and nodded in Evan's direction, who winked back.
Olive stomped her foot and pointed at Evan
"How could she have…." Evan smiled and shook his head
"This isn't our first time!" Evan smirked as he waited for Olive's next choice.
Olive pulled out her last Pokémon and threw Cyndaquil into the arena where the little Pokémon cheered excitedly
"Vortex, take her down!" she pointed at Jolteon and Cyndaquil made a mad dash for her
"I don't think this is going to end well…" Lilly smirked as they stood up from the bench so they could see better as Jolteon effortlessly dodged the attack
"Why do you say that?" Caleb asked and Lilly watched as Cyndaquil attempted a scratch attack, only to miss again
"Well…I've seen Sparky take down a lot stronger Pokémon than Olive's Cyndaquil…Evan is toying with Olive…" Lilly giggled and Caleb nodded.
"VORTEX USE EMBER!" Olive shrieked through the beads of sweat on her brow
"Face it Olive…You're Cyndaquil is just too slow…" Evan smirked as there was a loud cry from the arena, where Jolteon received a Ember and scratch combo to the face and was sent toppling backwards and she crumpled to the floor whimpering
"Jolteon is unable to bat-" The Monk was interrupted by Jolteon struggling to her feet and wincing at Cyndaquil
"I thought you said she would win!" Caleb asked confused, Lilly stared at Jolteon in shock
Lilly looked from the concentrated look on Evan's face to the look of pain on Jolteon's
"…I don't understand…" she whispered.
"wait for it….wait for it…" Evan thought to himself as Cyndaquil stomped forward to deal the final blow, when he came within range Olive yelled
"Cyndaquil Emb-" but Olive was interrupted by Evan's roar
"Sparky, Thunderbolt now!" Jolteon's fur quickly stuck out in all directions and a large bolt of electricity flew from her body and slammed into Cyndaquil's chest full force, sending him clear across the room and into the opposing wall.
Olive looked at the both of them with distaste as she returned her Pokémon and realized that Jolteon was no longer wincing or limping
"She was faking?!" she shouted in outrage, Evan smiled and ran his hands along Jolteon's fur and scratched under her chin before turning to Olive
"Never underestimate your opponent, become stronger and I might think about a rematch" Evan smirked and they both turned their back on Olive and headed for their friends
"That was amazing, how did Jolteon know to hide in the hole?" Caleb asked
"I fought a man named Terrance who had an incredible Golem, and he did the same thing she did with self-destruct. Sparky and I lost and then trained never to fall victim to that again" he smiled and the looked around
"Hey…were did Kat go?" Evan asked
"Maybe she went upstairs?" Lilly shrugged and they ran up the stairs to check.
As they entered the room they heard voices on the other side of a large screen with Bellsprouts painted on it
"Come with me Falkner, I've been sent to fetch you. If you don't I will have to hurt this poor child" cried a woman's voice, her voice was very upbeat and bubbly as if she were a little crazy.
The three of them burst into the room to find two men facing a incredibly tall woman with long blonde hair down to her backside and piercing blue eyes, she was wearing a bubblegum pink dress that looked light as a feather and in her arms was a young girl whom she had in a headlock and the girl was struggling with all her might.
"HEY! Let her go!" Caleb screamed as they joined the men. Falkner stood with a Pokéball at the ready, the others did the same
"Now now…you little brats aren't even going to fight fair?" she giggled as she pulled a Pokéball out of her purse and released a large pink Pokémon that had a oval object stuck in it's front pouch
"Peaches, hold onto this little dear while I take these boys on" smirked the woman as she threw the girl into the Chansey's arms who frowned and hugged the girl close.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am!" screamed the girl as she struggled but Chansey didn't fight her after a few seconds the Chansey let go and the girl fell on her butt
"…Chan…" whimpered the Pokémon as it frowned, the woman glared at her Pokémon in fury as the little girl scrambled to her feet and want for Falkner's side
"You weakling! Get out of my sight!" she screamed as she pushed Chansey away as hard as she could and the Pokémon rolled away sadly
"HEY! How dare you treat your Pokémon like that! Who do you think you are!" Lilly said as she glared at the woman, who smiled at this
"Who am I? Why…Let me properly introduce myself. I am the beauty of Team Olympia! I am the one and only Aphrodite!" she struck a model pose as if bubbly hearts were going to explode behind her but it didn't happen
"oh no…are you part of Team Rocket or something?" Falkner said as he covered his face with his hand and then ran his hand through his black emo cut hair
"Team Rocket….HA, those losers couldn't get anything done and since they have disbanded, Team Olympia has decided to take center stage but that is enough chatter! Let's battle boys!" Aphrodite exclaimed as she threw two Pokéballs down revealing two small Pokémon, a little yellow mouse and a hairy brown pig looking Pokémon.
"Pichu…Swinub are you ready?" she asked in a gentle voice as she looked at her Pokémon and giggled at how cute they are
"Let me handle this!" Falkner exclaimed as Aphrodite laughed and snapped her fingers, suddenly large pink ribbons exploded from her side of the room and wrapped him completely from head to foot
"awe…looks like there aren't any more challengers!" Aphrodite laughed as Lilly and the girl stepped for ward
"Let's do this!" they shouted together as they both threw a Pokéball and glanced at each other with a smile as Chikorita and a little yellow sheep looking Pokémon appeared in the arena.
"Cotton, use tackle on Pichu!" cried the girl and the Mareep dashed for the little mouse Pokémon
"Chico, follow suit for a double tackle attack" Chico followed orders and both Pokémon fell in sync dashing for Pichu and Swinub.
"Pichu, Swinub…use Attract quickly!" Aphrodite sang and both Pichu and Swinub created a large red heart in front of them, that Cotton and Chico ran directly into causing it to explode in various shapes of pink hearts.
"I should have seen that coming!" Lilly growled as Chico and Mareep started staggering around the room like lovesick puppies.
"That move is SO uncalled for…" spat the girl and Lilly nodded in agreement
"Pichu, Volt tackle Chikorita while Swinub uses Icy wind on Mareep" Aphrodite twirled on the spot, she was enjoying this.
"Focus girls" smiled the Master Monk who was standing with Caleb, Evan had snuck off towards Chansey.
Pichu dashed for Chikorita surrounded by electricity and slammed into his face, Pichu also flew backwards hurt by the attack while Swinub took a deep breath and exhaled a whirlwind of icicles that scratched and stabbed at Mareep
"Come on boys, snap out of it!" Lilly called out to their Pokémon
"Cotton use thunder shock on Swinub, please!" cried the girl, as Mareep charged up and a jolt of electricity shot for Swinub
"NO! Electricity doesn't effect Swin-" Caleb cried, but the shock hit Swinub and seeped to be funneled through it's body into the floor with no effort.
"Shoot…" shot the girl as Lilly glared at Aphrodite who had taken to filing her nails
"Pichu, use Volt tackle once again on Chikorita" Pichu shot forward, surrounded by electricity again, Lilly waited till the last second to shout
"Chico use Vine Whip" she shouted, Chico's vines extended and it began to lash out in any way it could. Pichu couldn't stop itself and ran right into one of the vines as it whirled around and knocked Pichu away, Pichu struggled to it's feet after the beating from Volt tackle
"That poor Pichu…" whispered the girl as she tightened her orange vest around her and threw her curly brown hair over her shoulder
"Cotton, use Iron tail!" she said and Mareep's tail started glowing and it lazily flung it in Pichu's directing, landing a hit against the hurt Pichu's side
"Oh no!" Aphrodite exclaimed as she realized that her Pokémon was pummeled
"Wait…Swinub is a ground Pokémon too! Chico, use razor leaf on Swinub!" Chico shook it's head and let a flurry of razor sharp leaves fly in Swinub's direction, the little Pokémon covered it's snout with it's flat feet as the leaves struck him
"Attract is wearing off!" Lilly exclaimed as Aphrodite's eyes widened in shock
"No!" she screamed as the girl directed Mareep to deal a final Iron tail to Pichu's face, knocking the little Pokémon unconscious.
"Chico, once again…Razor leaf on Swinub!" Chico glared and let a large wave of razor leaves cut into Swinub and causing the Pokémon to faint also.
When the dust from the whirlwind of attacks settled Aphrodite had vanished with her Pokémon, leaving only a very tied up Falkner where she once stood.
After a few minutes of cutting and untying they helped Falkner to his feet once again
"Hey, how'd it go?" Evan smiled as he walked up to them all, Falkner smiled at the girls
"These two did very well together, do you know each other?" Falkner asked and they shook their heads and then hands
"I'm Lilly from New Bark Town"
"I'm Joyce from Ecruteak City" they smiled then turned to Falkner once again
"It might be a good idea to alert the other Gym Leaders, Falkner. If this Team…Olympia is after Leaders then the others could be in trouble too" said the Master Monk as he placed his hands in his pocket, Lilly's poke gear started ringing and she picked it up
"Hullo?….uhh….WHAT?….OLIVE?!….WHY?….alright…I'll tell them…" she said as she hung up and turned to the others
"Kat decided to go with Olive, she felt bad for her and thought she needed company…something is up with that girl" Lilly concentrated for a few seconds then shook it off
"So where were you during the battle?" Caleb shot at Evan who smirked and held up a Pokéball which everyone just stared at blankly
"I was getting a new friend…" Evan tossed the Pokéball out in front of them and Chansey appeared
"You took her Chansey?!" Joyce exclaimed as she looked at Evan then at the pink Pokémon who was looking at Evan with a large smile on her face
"She just wanted a friend, but Aphrodite didn't treat her right. So I told Chansey…ahem…excuse me, Peaches that she could join us" Evan smiled as he returned Chansey to the ball then pocketed it
"You acquire Pokémon in the weirdest ways, Evan…" Lilly giggled as she then turned on Falkner
"Hey Falkner, When can I challenge you to a gym match! I want to win some badges!" Lilly exclaimed as Joyce's eyes lit up and she also turned on him
"Me too! HAHA!" they both stared at him with determination in their eyes
"Alright alright, let me go to the gym and at least clean up a little" Falkner laughed as he ran down the stairs.
Before the rest of them could leave the Master Monk stopped them
"I want to thank you for stopping that woman, but she may not be the only one. Keep your wits about you and Joyce…I wouldn't suggest traveling alone after today's predicament" the Master smiled and bowed
"Why doesn't she join us?" Lilly said to Caleb and Evan, Evan shrugged and Caleb scoffed
"She's so young…why would we want a nine year old following us?" Caleb crossed his arms and glared at Lilly
"I'm ten!" Joyce corrected and Lilly laughed
"Oh wow…Evan is sixteen, Caleb here is fifteen and I'm Twelve!" Lilly said proudly, Joyce thought about this for a second then looked up at Lilly a little confused
"And you just got your first Pokémon?" Joyce teased, Lilly blushed a little then stuttered
"L…le..let's go to the p-p-Pokémon center for a bit before we go see Falkner" she said as she quickly dashed for the stairs
"What's up with her?" Joyce asked as they slowly followed
"Her first Pokémon died a few years ago" Evan shot back as they descended the stairs with Joyce's face bright red from embarrassment.
