Season 4, Opening: This Dream

Part 24

Contestable Debate

"Ha, now it's too even for you!" The girl called.

Lyra stood up erect. "Alright, Bayleef, use Vine Whip!" Bayleef lashed out and slapped Misdreavus to the ground. "Now, use Petal Dance!" Bayleef threw the spinning petals at Misdreavus, which sent it into the air. The girl's points fell to about 1/4.

"Misdreavus, use Pain Split!" Its eyes shot out, but Bayleef use Vine Whip to hack through it and slapped Misdreavus again. "No!" Her points depleted completely.

"And Lyra moves on to the Semifinals!" Jillian called out.

Later, Natalie used her Butterfree to battle a Pidgeotto, and Jim used his Tyrogue to defeat a Chansey.

Lyra looked anxiously at the match-ups for the next round.

"Next Round: Jim vs. Lyra!"

Lyra smirked and looked over at Jim. He scoffed and headed out. Lyra departed as well.

"Okay, come on out!" Jim called as he entered the stage. Tyrogue came out and yelped for joy.

"Come on out, Bayleef!" Lyra called, sending her pokemon, Bayleef, out. "Bayleef, use Petal Dance!" The petals whirred around Tyrogue.

"Tyrogue, slide under the petals and use Strength!" Tyrogue dashed and slid quickly under the flowing petals. Its body glowed white on the outside. It threw a fist at Bayleef and sent it across the ground, sliding on its feet.

"Bayleef, don't take that!" Lyra said as her points went down a bit. "Vine Whip!" Bayleef's vine lashed out and caught Tyrogue across its body, throwing it across the ground.

"Tyrogue!" Jim's points were depleted a bit. "Use Bulk Up!" Tyrogue screamed and it glowed orange. Lyra's points went down a smidge. "Use Low Kick!" Tyrogue flipped and cartwheeled towards Bayleef and sweeped its leg quickly under Bayleef, causing it to topple.

"Bayleef!" Bayleef weakly stood, Lyra's points flowing down to halfway. "Use Body Slam!" Bayleef stood up and threw all of its wait into a huge shove, knocking Tyrogue all the way across the field and into the wall. Jim's points were knocked to below halfway.

"No! Tyrogue, can you get up?" Tyrogue stood up meekly. "Okay, use Low Kick!" Tyrogue flipped towards Bayleef and threw its leg out. This time, Bayleef use Vine Whip and grabbed its legs. Jim's points went down from the coutnerattack. Now, Bayleef threw it into the air.

"Yes, use Petal Dance!" Bayleef closed its eyes and smiled. The petals gently whirred around Tyrogue. "Now, once more with Vine Whip!" Bayleef threw its vines up and lashed through the petals, slashing Tyrogue, completing Jim's point depletion.

"No! Tyrogue!" Tyrogue fell, and Jim caught it.

"The winner is Lyra, and she will be competing in the final match!"

Lyra whooped and congratulated Bayleef. She also hugged Jim for a good match.

Later, Natalie was nearing the end of her battle.

Forty-five seconds remained on the clock and the points were even: 1/4 on each side.

"Butterfree, use Silver Wind upwards!" Butterfree created a silvery draft that blew up on the opponents Furret. The Furret lifted off the ground.

"No!" The trainer shouted. "Use Attract!" Furret tried to get a heart out, but Butterfree used Psychic and blasted Furret against the wall, just in time to deplete all of his points.

He recalled it and Jillian moved Natalie to the final match.

"Our final match! Lyra vs. Natalie!"

The two trainers zipped out.

"Go, Marill!" Lyra called.

"Go, Nidorina!"

Lyra's small water pokemon came out and grinned.

The pokemon Natalie had been walking with earlier came out, in the form of Nidorina.

"So, whaddya think of my new pokemon?" Natalie called out.

"Cool! Let's see how it fairs in a battle! Marill, use Water Gun!" Marill fired a blast of water at Nidorina.

"Nidorina, use Poison Sting!" Nidorina cried and threw barbs of poison from the horn on its head at the water. They sliced through and jabbed at Marill, throwing Lyra's points down a bit. Four minutes and thirty seconds were on the clock so far.

"Nidorina, time for Horn Attack!" Nidorina darted forward at an amazing speed.

"Quick, combat it with Rollout!" Marill tucked down and rolled on the ground in a blue and white ball. It collided with Nidorina and shot into the air. It rolled across the ceiling and dropped down. As it did, it collided with Nidorina and its horn.

As Marill stopped, it looked hurt. "Marill? Oh no! You're poison!" Marill coughed.

"Nidorina, show them that you're still okay with Double Kick!" Nidorina rushed forward again, whirred around and threw its hind legs into Marill, throwing it into the air. Lyra's points dripped down.

"Marill!" Marill landed on the opposite wall, its feet attached. "Marill, yes! Okay, turn around and use Water Gun!" Marill turned, but instead of the move it was told to use, a large jet of water was exhaled. It shot it straight towards Nidorina, to which it turned and threw water across Nidorina and across Marill, which made Natalie lose points for Marill's appeal. Nidorina was also hurt, so it lost some more.

"Yay! Marill learned Brine! Okay, Marill, use Rollout!" One minute was left on the clock. Marill rolled towards Nidorina.

It slammed into it and threw it to the ceiling again. More points dripped away from Nidorina.

"Nidorina, use Poison Sting!" Nidorina shot barbs into the air. Marill stopped spinning.

"Okay, use Brine!" Marill spit the jet of water down and it shrouded the barbs, then crashed totally into Nidorina.

"No!" Natalie's points were below 1/4 now. "Nidorina, use Double Kick!" As Marill came down, Nidorina threw its hind legs out. Marill held on and threw its tail into Nidorina. "Nidorina!" The clocked buzzed. Natalie's points were completely consumed.

"And the winner is...Lyra! Lyra has one the Smith Town contest!"

Lyra cheered brightly and embraced Marill.

In a minute, Lyra was presented with a blue ribbon she held up proudly.

"We got...our first Ribbon!"

Outside, a few minutes later...

"Well, that was quite some battle, Lyra!" Natalie said.

"Yeah, your Nidorina was great. Hey, where's Jim?"

"He headed off as you won. He was teary-eyed, but smiling," Natalie explained. Natalie said her goodbyes and left Ethan and Lyra to look forward to Olivine through the sunset.
