Next-Day Update. I guess that means something. Just not sure what it is.

The girl and guy stood on opposite sides of the clearing. James was standing about halfway down the grassy field, myself still on top of his head. He looked at the guy, and then the girl. "Alright!" He shouted, for he was the closest person there who could judge a battle. "This is a battle between…" He paused, the announcer-like voice gone out of him. He then proceeded to ask, "What are your names?"

The girl answered first. "Alexandria Vacii." She looked at the guy across the clearing. "And don't you forget it."

The guy snorted and glared at Alexandria. "You call that a name? I bet your parents loved you so much." He then finished his glare and looked over at us. "Guitarist Arnold."

James nodded, making sure not to knock me off, then continued what he had started to say. "A battle between Alexandria Vacii and Guitarist Arnold. One Pokemon each." James then proceeded to lift both of his arms into the air, knocking me onto the ground, and the battle commenced.

Arnold made the first move. He started play his electric guitar, and his Pikachu started to move about. I had to cover my ears again; for fear that the noise would make me go deaf. "OK, Pikachu! Use your Thundershock on that fur ball!"

The Pikachu quickly stopped moving and charged up the electricity in its cheeks. It then fired the attack, not suffering from any discharge damage.

The girl and her Eevee just stood there, waiting for the attack to come. Then suddenly the girl shouted to her Eevee, "Melody! Use Shadow Ball on the Thundershock!" The Eevee then shot a large black ball of darkness out of it's mouth at the flying Thundershock, completely absorbing the attack and turning slightly yellow in color.

The Shadow Ball continued down the field, now heading directly for the Pikachu. The guy started to play his guitar again, and the Pikachu started to sway. It preformed a couple of small steps to its sides, and then front-flipped over the Shadow Ball.

The guy then made his next move. "Pikachu! Use your Zap Cannon! Full power!" The Pikachu then started to glow a silverfish color, and launched a gigantic silver ball of electricity at the Eevee.

"Use your Agility to jump right into the Zap Cannon!" I looked over at the girl, trying to decide what would make her want to give up the match. Then she gave another set of orders. "Use Shockwave from inside the Zap Cannon!"

What happened next was a complete lack of rules regarding reality. The Eevee jumped into the Zap Cannon and actually fired the Shockwave. And it wasn't a small Shockwave. The thing was twice as big as the Zap Cannon.

It hurtled straight at the Pikachu, and before its trainer could issues any commands, it was engulfed. There was a large explosion, and after the dust cleared, we saw the results.

"Pikachu is unable to battle! Alexandria and her Eevee are the winners!" Unable to battle was an understatement. The Pikachu had scorch marks all over its body, and some of its fur was starting to turn red with blood.

The Eevee seemed relatively unharmed, even though it jumped into a Zap Cannon. I really have to learn a trick like that if I'm going to survive as a Pokemon. Although I might die trying to do something like that. Yeah; no fancy tricks for me then.

Arnold scowled. He returned his Pikachu, and then yelled at Alexandria, "Hey, hey! What's the big idea, doing that to my Pokemon?"

Alexandria stared at the guy, and he left the clearing, brow furrowed. It was then that I released something. He had played an electric guitar with an amplifier. How did that even make sense?

The Eevee jumped onto her left shoulder, and she ran over to us. She nodded at us, and then spoke. "I hate guys like that. All they ever think about is battling anybody they can. I'm surprised he hasn't died of doing something stupid like challenging the Champion." She sighed. "Oh well. So, what's your name? I have to know who's mailing me the check." James stared at her, and she laughed a laugh that sounded pure. "I'm joking."

James made a small 'Oooo' noise, and then introduced us. "I'm James, and this is my Cyndaquil, Andrew." He gestured down to me, still on the ground.

The Eevee hopped off its trainers shoulder and landed beside me. "Hello. My name's Melody." She said. Her voice also sounded pure. Her eyes were a deep blue, the kind you would expect from someone smart.

I actually stared at her for a moment, forgetting that I was reborn; forgetting that… that… I don't remember what I am forgetting! I quickly searched all of my memories. Then it hit me. I don't remember who I was before I was reborn. Only my name and that I was once human. I hardly even remember my conversations with Azelf.

I panicked, but was brought out of it by the Eevee, who (I assume) knocked me down onto the grass. "I asked you a question. Where can I find a good place to sleep?" I stared at her until I realized that she did look tired.

I looked over at James, and then I saw him get a tablecloth out of his backpack I didn't notice he had. I turned to Melody and answered her question. "Right here, I guess." The Eevee then collapsed right beside where I laid, now trying to piece together my past.


Yeah. I know it's cliche, but at least it wasn't the first thing he discovered. Oh, and that was my first battle scene; tell me how I did. 2nd Oh: It's pronounced Va-see. I just like the sound of it. 3rd Oh: Yes, the title of this chapter is making fun of her name. Its funny that way.

Well, you know how to tell me about any grammar errors and/or mispellings. Thank you.
