I'm baaaaack! I'm sorry that I haven't updated recently, I've just been really tapped out on ideas recently. Anyways, on with the chapter! :D

Chapter 11: Frozen Friends

Flare's POV:

Chimchar and I were just minding our own business in the woods when we almost got turned into ice sculptures.

"Sorry about that! I didn't realize this was a nature trail!" a young girl's voice rang out.

"It isn't, my partner and I were just looking for a place to train!" I saw her as I broke into a clearing; she was young, maybe fourteen or fifteen years old at most. Her brown hair fanned out around her shoulders in an almost serene manner. A Glaceon stood at her side, its fur glistening in the early afternoon sunlight.

"Well what are you waiting for, sparky?" she asked. "Let's battle!"

"Sure, let's go Chimchar!" I cried, sending the small fire chimp out from his poke ball. My little friend had barely opened his eyes when he was launched into the air by the Glaceon's ice beam.

"Chimchar, Flame Wheel now!" I cried: the girl just smirked.

"You really think that's going to work?"

"Don't count your pidgey before they hatch!" I said as Chimchar, now a roaring fireball, touched down and headed straight for the ice type Pokémon.

"All right Angel, use Blizzard!" the air temperature seemed to drop ten degrees as a blast of snow hit my little buddy square in the face. He dropped to the ground, fainted. I scooped him up in my arms and looked back at the girl.

"You sure know how to battle!"

"Thanks, right back at you!" we started back to camp, and I felt a slight warmth in my chest, somehow I knew this would lead to something wonderful, at least I hoped so. . .

I know it's short, but it's been forever since I've uploaded, and I just needed to get this posted so I could move on with the story. Again, I'm sorry it's so short, but I'll work on making the next chappie extra long for all of you wonderful people out there! MAY THE AURA BE WITH YOU!
