Chapter 37: Facing A True Psychic Trainer! Vs. Psychic-Type Master Will!

The following morning, Michael got up early again. However, he decided to make a quick call home before starting the training. Soon it was breakfast time, and Michael, along with his Pokémon, had worked up an appetite due to their training. The others arrived nd were amazed to see just how determined Michael was about these battles.

Michael - "Morning guys."

Fluttershy - "Morning Michael. May we ask what this is about?"

Michael - "We just finished a serious bout of training."

Yang - "You sure about doing training like that so close to a battle with someone of the Elite Four?"

Michael - "Normally no. But everyone pretty much put in 200% effort, so I decided to treat them for their hard work."

Fauna - "Aw. That's sweet of you."

Soon the rest of the party joined Michael and ate breakfast too. They then had a few hours to kill since Michael's battle with Will was gonna be around lunchtime. While walking about the fairgrounds, Michael spotted a familiar trio selling merchandise.

Michael - "Jessie! James! Meowth! What are you guys doing here?"

Jessie - "Hey Michael! Glad to see you dropped by our little booth."

James - "As for what we're doing. We're selling Team Rocket merch thanks to the deal you signed with the boss."

Michael - "You guys aren't overpaying your customers I hope."

Meowth - "Not a chance. Domino helped us make sure the prices are fair and reasonable."

Michael - "That's good. Is it just you three here?"

James - "No. The three of us have one side of the grounds, while Cassidy and Butch have the other half. And the five of us go through the different stadiums selling our merch too."

Jessie - "And thanks to your challenge against the Elite Four's and Champion Lance, we can sell some extra special merch as well."

Michael - "That's very good to here. Anyway, have fun selling. And say hi to Cassidy and Butch for me."

Jessie/James/Meowth - "We will!"

Soon it was time for Michael's battle with Will. He was led to the locker room to get ready. Once five minutes had passed, Michael was escorted to the battlefield. Across from him stood Will.

Will - "Welcome to the Pokémon League! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Will. I have trained all around the world, making my Psychic-Type Pokémon powerful. And, at last, I've been accepted into the Elite Four. I can only keep getting better! Losing is not an option!"

Michael - "My deepest apologies then Will. Cause you'll be losing here today."

Abigail - "This will be a 6-on-5 battle between Elite Four Will and Michael Masi of Pokémon Island. The battle will continue all Pokémon on one side are unable to continue. Are both trainers ready?"

Both Trainers activate their Battle Disks.

Michael/Will - "Ready!"

The crowd gave a roaring applause for Michael.

Will - "Even though I was defeated, I won't change my course. I will continue battling until I stand above all Trainers! Now move on and experience the true ferocity of Kanto AND Johto's combined Elite Four."

Both Trainers then exited the battlefield. While eating a late lunch with the others, Michael already knew the remaining five battles from here on would be even tougher. So he decided to quickly think of a battle strategy for each one.
