With great power, comes people who will abuse it…

"Well, here it is," Mr. Bisha spread out his arms to the surprise in question. Mr. Bisha had made this huge structure just for me, in honor of me. Well, technically not 'me' as Johnathan Lawrence, but for "Milkshake the Shiny Torchic". How did I know this? There was this huge sign just above the entrance. Right there above the doorway were the words "Milkshake the Shiny Torchic" as Brandy read it for me. Like I said early on, no one knew that I was gone. And the school just didn't care.

Anyways, his surprise was this large roomy barn like structure. It was designed to let me have all the open space that I needed and all the food that I wanted. It was next to the school's private Pokémon Center just in case I got hurt. There was also a small area were I would do tricks for the younger students. I don't know what the student council was thinking when they gave them permission to do this.

We already had been given a small tour of the place, but I wasn't really paying any attention. I already made up my mind about it.

"Well, what do you think?"

"(I think that your ego is too big for you fit through the door.)"

"Tyler…," Brandy was about to scold me, "What do you think about this?"

"(I think that it's a terrible thing that you brought me here.)"

"Come on, be nice," Brandy frowned.

"He doesn't like it?"

"Well, I'm personally impressed with the work you did on it," Brandy complimented on the 'big surprise', "but Tyler might be a little too young to appreciate it as much as I do."

"Well, I certainly hope so," Principal Bisha puffed out his chest like a Swellow, "I've never worked on anything as hard as I had for this. I personally drove every nail and board into it's construction."

"All for him huh," Brandy grinned. They were trying to guilt me into this. And damn it, it was working.

"(Fine, I'll go through with it.)," I sighed, "(But not permanently.)"

"Okay, then," Brandy smiled, "Alright Mr. Bisha, Tyler approves."

"Of course, he does," Principal Bisha was satisfied.

"However, I will need to stay with him until he's comfortable to be on his own."

"Well, I didn't build this thing for you."

"Of course not, but the first few nights he might get lonely living at the school."

"Then I'll have some revisions done to make it possible, but only for a short while. Wouldn't want to make the other students jealous now do we?"

"Thank you Mr. Bisha," Brandy waved, "Well, we're going to go tell everyone the good news."

"That's alright by me, but I expect to see the two of you first thing in the morning."

"(I can't believe I let you guilt me into this.)"

"I didn't try to guilt you."

"(I don't need a lie detector for a gut to know that's a lie.)"

"Okay, so… it wasn't as hard to guilt you as I thought it would be," Brandy shrugged a little, "but still, Mew said that we need to find the Phoenix Gate in two months time. This way you'll be able to look for it anywhere on the school grounds."

"(Two months is plenty of time.)"

"For a school project maybe, but we're looking for a needle in a haystack here. Not to mention that someone else might have already found the needle."

"(I understand that, but what do you expect me to do here?)"

"I don't know," Brandy joked, "look cute or something."

"(Why can't you just strangle me and get it over with?)"

"You don't get it, do you? The Phoenix Gate is a necklace and knowing the girls in school they'll be bound to show it off."

"(What kind of girl wouldn't?)," I laughed, for a little bit, but then stopped.

"Hey, is something wrong?"

"(Brandy could you do me a favor?)," I looked up at him.

"Put you down? Sure…"

"(No, not that… well yeah, but…)," I sighed as he placed me on the ground, "(Brandy, can you take me to say goodbye to my old home?)"

"You want me to take you to your old house?"

"(Just for a little while… Please…)"

"Well, I don't see any reason why not," Brandy smiled, standing up, "Lead the way."

"So we'll duke it out here and now," I said raising my arms to the beautiful sun as the all of us reached the clearing, "It's such great day to be alive. I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes."

"Do you have to sing about it…," Tyrone glared at me.

"This is the same field where we met," Karen noticed, "this is perfect we can finish this where we started."

"Technically, you two started. I, however, ended it."

"Not the point," Karen snapped at me, "and wipe that smirk off your face before you find yourself airborne on Mars."

"So to make this somewhat fair," I put my hands behind my head as I walked, "I'll only use one Pokémon, but I wont use any Water attacks, and in exchange you don't use Roar for an insa-win. Agreed?"

"That's fine with me," Tyrone growled, but quickly started coughing. He was trying his best to suppress the Growlithe in him. I knew that was one of the side effects to the Phoenix Gate being used improperly, "I'll play as Referee."

"Hey, no fair I want to play too," Lou whined.

"This isn't a game Lou," Tyrone groaned, "It's a Pokémon battle."

"But I wanna play too!"

"Look Lou, this is between Karen and Eddie there," Tyrone explained, "All I'm doing is making sure that they play by the rules. Since you don't know the rules then you can't be Referee."

"Fine," Lou frowned, "I didn't wanna play anyways."

"Referee fairly and I'll even let Leo keep the power that I gave him earlier."

"What power," Tyrone asked like an idiot.

"Wow, did you really forget everything," I laughed as I reached into my jacket's hidden pocket, "I wouldn't mind showing you again."

"What are," I watched his eyes widen at the sight of the Dragon Gate, "Keep that thing away from me."

"Tyrone, quit being such a baby and let's start this match," she juggling Leo's Pokéball.

"Alright fine," he said as he got into position, Kiki followed and sat down next to him, "If you're both ready."

"Let's go, Leo." Karen was the first to release her Pokémon, but I didn't have time to watch him materialize.

"Jake, I choose you!"

My favorite Pokémon roared as he was released from the confines of his Pokéball.

"(Mew, damn…)," Leo stayed still looking up at the towering sea serpent, "(what kind of Pokémon are you?)"

"(Who said that?)," Jake curved downwards to get a better view of his opposition, "(Oh, it's that Growlithe from before. Nice to meet you…)"

"Wow, you look so cool," Lou somehow appeared on the battle field without anyone noticing.

"(Um… thank you?)"

"Can we play with each together!"

"(Sure, I love games.)," Jake nodded and smiled (Well, the best that a Gyarados can anyways.), "(How about Hide and Go Seek?)"

"(How can I take this thing seriously?)," Leo growled to himself.

"Lou get off the field," Karen shouted waving her arms fiercely, "You're going to get hurt if you stay there!"

"But I wanna play with Jake!"

"(Oh, so I'm going we're in a battle?)," Jake turned to see me nod, "(Well, if that's the case then we'll have to play later.)"

"Okay," Lou bounced happily off the field. Only to sit down quietly next to Kiki and his Eggsecute.

"Okay, so if we're all ready, begin!"

"Hey, Jake no water attacks! That's our handicap for today," Eddie shouted, "Oh and Ladies first!"

"Okay, Leo let's start off with a Flame Wheel!"

Leo's Flame Wheel surrounded him as he charged at Jake.

"Dodge."

Jake just simply twisted to the left and the spinning wheel slipped right past him. Jake yawned as he twisted around to counter with Bite.

"Leo use Flamethrower!"

…What a pointless effort… I thought before the Flame Wheal disbursed itself. Leo wasn't inside of it. There was a huge fireball coming from behind Jake.

"Behind you," I shouted before watching Jake being struck with a critical hit. I could have sworn that I saw Jake's eyes roll into the back of his head. But he shook it off and turned to face the puppy Pokémon.

"(Nice shot. You've gotten stronger.)," Jake laughed a little, "(That's great! I thought that this would be boring!)"

"Seems that I gave them too much of an advantage," I sighed, glad that Jake was alright, "Let's try a Twister next!"

Jake took a deep breath and released a miniature tornado against the Leo. Leo didn't bother to dodge. But took the hit head on. He was knocked backwards, and flipped into a recovery and slid back a few feet.

"Karen, what are you doing," Tyrone yelled at her, "You have to tell Leo to dodge! It's a loyalty thing!"

"So in other words, he's going to do exactly like Karen orders. Thereby making him completely predictable," I yelled at him, "Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that!"

"Hey, no help from the referee," Karen yelled, "Leo, Leer and then follow up with a couple more of those Flame Wheels!"

The dog's eyes flashed as he charged my sea serpent. He jumped and started rolling with the Flame Wheel this time. It had to of been twice the size that it normally was if not then triple. The main part of the Flame Wheel seemed to split near the middle creating a sort of well, "disk wings" might be the best way to describe them.

Jake took in another breath for a Twister counter attack. Firing the tornado at the Flame Wheel did nothing to slow it down. The Flames Wheel bounced off the ground and cut right through the Twister as if it wasn't even there. Jake twisted his body downward out of the way to dodge. He then twisted back upwards behind Leo, readying a violet and yellow flame in his jaws.

"Dragon Rage," I shouted.

"Counter with another Flame Wheel! Then get in close with Bite!"

Jake didn't hesitate to release his flames, Leo was as predictable as I thought he'd be. He countered Jake's flames using a Flame Wheel like the first one (without him inside). He then ran under both attacks to get in close to take a Bite out of Jake. Which wasn't a good idea. Jake's scales are just as hard as any Magikarp's. He yelped out of pain, although so did Jake.

"Flame Wheel, once more! Close range!"

Leo jumped up and flipped himself into that fireball again.

"Jake, Ice Beam!"

Jake's mouth concentrated the lite blue Ice Beam. He also had the idea to combine the natural cold of his Ice Fang attack to the beam to make it stronger. The blue blast collided with Leo's Flame Wheel. The end result was giant explosion of mist. No one could see a thing that was happening inside the fog. I could hear the cries of the battle.

Of all the sounds, I fear that of Jake's body crashing down into the ground to be the most frightening thing that I could have heard. He could have killed Leo doing something dangerous like that. But Thrash was the only thing that Jake could do in this situation. Thank the Legendaries that it worked, but for Leo…

End

Who won? Who won?

Wait, I'm not supposed to ask that yet…

How do you spell oponate? Opponate? Oponaite? Openate?

I can't remember and Spell Check is worthless in finding out.

I've had to use the word "Opposition".
