Ivory made her way to Mt. Silver, determined to beat that punk of a trainer. She calculated everything in her head; all her revives and hp healers. She also calculated the probability of Red being better than her. She smirked and shook her head. Probability of that ever happening was 0.0%. Definitely. She stood in front of the entrance to the mountain. Her emerald eyes glittered with confidence and she pulled on her jacket, pulling it on and walking inside. She hummed softly as she made her way to the summit, ready for anything.
Reaching the summit, she let out a steady breath before making her way to the boy she knew was waiting up at the top. His back was to her as he looked out over the mountain. She scowled and huffed, "Red!" He turned his head slightly to glance over his shoulder.
"So…You came back?" He asked monotonously, "And here I was thinking you'd chicken-out…"
"I'd never back down from a fight!" She stated, pulling out a pokeball. She tossed it out, "Go! Lucario!" The Aura Pokemon got into the fighter's stance, ready for the challenge. Red tilted his hat down and smirked, tossing out his pokeball. Charizard appeared and Ivory gulped slightly, Snap…
"Lucario, retur-!" She stopped when Lucario gave her a look, telling her that he wanted to fight regardless of his disadvantage. She frowned but nodded, putting his pokeball back on its clip. Red signaled to Charizard and the dragon prepared a Flamethrower.
"Dodge it!" Ivory gasped. Lucario moved out of the way just in time and Ivory pointed forward, "Use Dragon Pulse!" Lucario gathered energy in his palms and shot a wave of energy at the Charizard. It staggered back but shook it off, snorting. Ivory frowned, wanting to return her beloved pokemon. Red grew serious, "Fire Fang." Charizard flew forward, his fangs blazing with fire. Ivory's eyes widened, "D-Dodge it, Lucario!!" But it was too late, Charizard bit down on him, singeing his fur. The Aura Pokemon hissed in pain and kicked the large pokemon off. Lucario glared at his Burn and returned his attention to the fight. Ivory frowned deeply and searched her bag for a Burn Heal.
"Hang on, Lucario, I'll heal ya!" She reassured and ran forward, gently spraying his Burn. He let out a gentle breath of relief as his Burn healed and Ivory scratched his head, "Do your best, Buddy!" She ran out of the battle and smirked.
"Use Dark Pulse!" She ordered. Lucario gathered his aura and it changed from a bright blue to a menacing purple. He shot it all towards Charizard and it took a critical hit. Charizard stumbled and slouched, ready to faint. Ivory cheered, "We've got him on the ropes now, Lucario!" Red chuckled softly and slowly made his way to Charizard, pulling out a Full Restore. Ivory gasped and Lucario snorted angrily. Red healed his pokemon and pat his back, "You know what to do." Charizard nodded and waited until Red was out of the way. Raising his head, Charizard used Eruption on the poor Aura Pokemon.
"Lucario!" Ivory called out. He dropped to his knees and struggled to stand, only to fall back down. Ivory frowned deeply and pulled out his pokeball, "Return…" She muttered and placed his ball in her bag, "You did your best, Lucario…I can't be mad at you for that…"
She huffed and pulled out another pokeball, "Go, Politoed!!" She tossed out his ball and the green and yellow frog bounced happily. Ivory pointed forward, "Use Water Pulse!" Politoed clapped and shot a pulse of water at the dragon pokemon, finishing him off instantly. Red returned him and sent out Venusaur. Ivory growled and huffed.
"Use Hyper Voice, Politoed!!"
"Poli~!" Politoed sucked in air and shot a sound wave towards Venusaur. The grass pokemon winced and shook it off, "Saur!"
"Razor Leaf…" Red ordered. Shaking his giant leaves, Venusaur sent out dozens of leaves spiraling towards Politoed. Ivory glared, "Dodge it! Use Bounce!"
"Politoed~!" He dodged the attack and bounced high into the air, slamming down on Venusaur. The giant pokemon grimaced and stumbled slightly, but was barely affected by the attack. Ivory huffed and thought hard.
"Vine whip…" Red ordered and vines appeared from under Venusaur's leaves, smacking Politoed all over his body.
"Poli~!" Politoed whined in pain and fell backwards, getting back on his feet. Ivory frowned determinedly.
"C'mon, Politoed! Use Water Pulse! Try to confuse him!"
"Politoed!" Politoed shot the pulse of water, hitting Venusaur head on. Venusaur shook his head, his gaze unfocused. Ivory smirked. Great, he was confused. The giant Seed Pokemon did his best to try and attack the weakened frog pokemon, but ended up hurting himself instead. Ivory took the chance to heal Politoed, giving him an affectionate rub.
"You can do this." She told him reassuringly. Politoed clapped, "Poli~!" When she was at a safe distance, she signaled to her pokemon, "Bubblebeam!" Politoed gargled and spat up bubbles, shooting them at Venusaur. They blew up in his face and he stumbled, collapsing in his horrid daze. Red returned him and Ivory jumped for joy, Politoed rocking back and forth happily. Red sent out Blastoise and signaled forward.
"Skull Bash…" He ordered. Blastoise charged and smashed his head against Politoed, knocking the frog back.
"Politoed!!"
"P-Poli…toed…" The frog fainted. Ivory frowned deeply and returned him.
"Go, Bellossom!!" She summoned and the small Flower Pokemon appeared, dancing around happily.
"Bell~! Bell~! Bellos~som~!" Bellossom sang. Ivory grinned, "Use Leaf Blade!" Bellossom swayed over and the leaves on her dress began to glow. She spun and smacked Blastoise in the face, seeming to float back in her place. Blastoise stumbled and huffed. Red signaled and Blastoise sunk into his shell, spinning towards Bellossom with Rapid Spin.
"Dodge it, Bellossom!"
"Bell~!" Bellossom swayed out of the way and Ivory ducked, squeaking in surprise. Red smirked in amusement and Ivory glared.
"Bellossom! Use Magical Leaf!"
"Dodge it…" Bellossom made her attack but Blastoise moved out of the way just in time. Ivory stomped her foot, "Bullet Seed!"
"Counter it with Bubblebeam…" The two moves countered each other and Ivory growled.
"Will you STOP!!" She snapped. Red smirked amusedly.
"Its fun watching you huff and puff." He answered. She growled and pointed forward, "Use Energy Ball!!"
"Bell~!" Bellossom gathered energy and shot it at Blastoise, knocking him back and out. Red returned him and tossed out another pokeball, summoning Snorlax. Ivory gritted her teeth. Perfect, the one time she needed Lucario and he had fainted. She perked when she remembered her revives and looked to Bellossom.
"Bellossom, dodge all his attacks!"
"Bell~!" Bellossom danced out of the way of all Snorlax's attacks as Ivory revived and healed Lucario. She pet his head and smiled, "How ya feeling?" He made a noise, confirming that he was ok. She grinned and nodded, "Bellossom, return! Go, Lucario!" Lucario jumped out and smirked, having been waiting for this moment for a long time. Red pointed forward, "Body Slam."
"Dodge! Use Force Palm." Ivory ordered. Lucario moved out of the way and a small ball formed in his hand, smashing it into Snorlax's body. Snorlax stumbled back and slouched slightly. Ivory smirked, "You've been training too I see…"
"What makes you think I didn't?" Red questioned. She smirked more and signaled to Lucario, "Use Aura Sphere!" Lucario gathered the aura in his paws, making it grow slightly bigger than a soccer ball. He shot it at Snorlax, sending him slamming into the snow. Red returned him and sent out Pikachu. Ivory smirked, "Lucario, use Bone Rush!" Lucario clapped his hands together, his expression serious. Pulling them apart slowly, a bone seemed to materialize before him. He grabbed it and twirled it expertly between his fingers. Without wasting any time, he smacked Pikachu in the face with his bone. The small mouse tumbled back and whimpered, standing back up.
"Thunderbolt." Red ordered. Pikachu's cheeks sparked and he shot the bolt of thunder at the Aura pokemon. He stumbled and shook it off, recovering quickly. Ivory smiled confidently, "Alright, Lucario, use Bone Rush one more time!" Lucario took hold of his giant bone and put all his power into his attack, only to have it miss as Pikachu ducked the attack. Ivory scowled, "Bullocks!!" Red smirked and chuckled softly.
"Iron Tail…" Red ordered. Pikachu's tail began to glow and he spun to smack Lucario, only to have the pokemon catch his tail between his paws. Pikachu gasped and Red's eyes widened slightly.
"Awesome, Lucario! Use Counter!" Lucario smirked and tossed Pikachu into the air, punching him into the ground when he came back. Red returned Pikachu and huffed, sending out Lapras.
"Bring out that Glaceon of yours." He ordered. She smirked and returned Lucario, bringing out her shiny Glaceon. He signaled to Lapras, "Use Brine."
"Dodge it and use Blizzard!" Ivory ordered. Glaceon moved out of the way and concentrated, sending a blistering wind at the Transport Pokemon. Lapras shook of the permafrost and moved back into place.
"Ice Beam."
"Use Mirror Coat, Glaceon!" Lapras shot the beam of ice towards Glaceon and the Ice Eeveelution concentrated, its body glowing slightly transparent and having the attack bounce off, nailing Lapras in the chest. Lapras cried out in pain and shuddered in agony. Ivory signaled to her pokemon, "Use Avalanche! And finish it off with Rock Smash!" Glaceon swayed his head and an Avalanche smashed down on Lapras. When the Transport Pokemon crawled out of the snow, it was knocked back by Glaceon's Rock Smash. Ivory cheered and jumped for joy, "We did it!! We beat him!"
"Glay~!" Glaceon smiled proudly. Red returned his pokemon and huffed, "Damn…And I was sure I'd win this time…" He looked up when Ivory stood before him, holding her Glaceon close.
"You did pretty good this time, Red." She told him. He tilted his hat down to hide his soft blush and he snorted, "I could've done better…"
"Of course you could've. Maybe if you didn't train at below freezing~!" She teased. He glared, "Didn't I tell you to stop telling me how to raise my pokemon…?" Ivory grinned.
"Well, I will admit, Red, you have gotten better…! Lucario normally doesn't do so well with Electric type pokemon. But, he sure did surprise the hell outta you and your Pikachu!" She laughed. Red blushed in frustration and pulled his hat down more, "Shut up…" Ivory giggled softly and sighed, "At any rate, we better go heal our pokemon." She said. He nodded and followed her to the Pokemon Center.
Once their pokemon were happy and healthy, they stood outside the center. Ivory looked to him, "So, where are you going now?"
"I'm going to find more places to train. So I can finally beat you…" Red answered with a smirk. Ivory scowled and huffed, "We'll see about that!"
"Why, yes…We will, won't we?" Red questioned smugly. He began leaving and he waved nonchalantly, "Later, little girl…"
"My name is Ivory! And I'll always be able to beat you, smart-ass!"
"We'll see about that…" Red replied haughtily. Ivory growled lowly and snorted, making her way towards Cherrygrove. Boys were so confusing and greatly aggravating.
Ok, people, Yumi here! I hope this battle was better than the last one! I worked for THREE DAYS on this damn thing, you better friggin' like it! So, no flames because I will use them to keep my pokemon warm. And I bid you all farewell until next time!
