Hey, just got back from vacation yesterday and I spent most of today sleeping and watching the last ten episodes of Soul Eater. Sorry that this is a bit short, I've got a lot of writing going on right now.

Oh, and if there are any artists reading I have a note for you after the chapter.

Anyways, enjoy and please leave a review :) ~Crystal


Chapter 6- Ending It

He stands back up, but I can tell he's in pain. He's got to be badly burned after that.

"You're gonna pay for that Lance." I growl

Lance just smirks back and me, knowing that I'm worked up now.

"Gallade, hang on just a little longer." He nods, I'm proud to have such a strong and diligent pokemon. "Alright, let's end this. Gallade, psycho cut, one more time." He disappears again but Charizard is ready for him. Somehow Gallade still gets the element of surprise. He comes down from above, landing a hit square on the dragons head. Charizard collapses.

"Charizard is unable to battle." Lance calls him back and pulls out his final pokemon. "Alright, let's go Dragonite."

Now two Dragonites stood on the field facing my burned Gallade and Silver's Feraligator.

"Switch out!" I call "Good job Gallade, rest well." He disappears and I pull out my second pokemon. "Let's end this Glaceon!" the small blue pokemon appears on the field. Compared to all the other pokemon around she seems insignificant but Lance knows otherwise. I can see his face slowly turn into a scowl.

Brock gave us the go ahead to continue.

"Feraligator use Ice Fang!" commands Silver. Good, for once he thinks about type advantages.

Feraligator charges at Clair's dragon and gets a good grip on him, letting the ice set it. Dragonite takes a lot of damage, again, its surprising he's still standing.

"Alright, Glaceon use blizzard!" Hopefully this will finish it.

The blizzard takes effect and through the haze I see Clair's Dragonite go down and Lances falls not long after. When the snow and ice subsides Silver and I are left as winners.

"Both Dragonites are unable to battle. Silver and Carina win." Brock declares.

Glaceon jumps onto me. "Whoa there." I laugh "Excited much Glaceon?" She mews in response and rubs up against my cheek.

"That was a good battle." Lance holds his hand out to me and I gladly shake it.

"It was. You know I've missed battling you."

"Same. You'll have to come back sometime so we can have a full rematch."

I nod, "Definitely. But I never got to ask, why are you two here anyways?"

"Well Cynthia invited us, but she didn't tell me that you would be in the tournament. That really surprised me."

"Oh really?" I tilt my head questioningly.

"Well you're not one to want attention."

"You know me to well." I scoff.

"I really think it's the opposite." Silver huffs, walking over to us.

"Are you two still fighting?" questions Clair.

"Not really." I glance at the guy out of the corner of my eye "It's just tense, we're facing each other in the next round."

"Never mind the tournament. Lance you owe me a one on one battle." Insists Silver.

"First, my pokemon need to recover and second, you should be worrying about your battle with Carina." Lance spins around "I'll talk with you after your battle." He walks away, Clair following behind him.

"You guys seem friendly with them." Comments Ash.

I shrug, "You travel and you meet people. Some are friendlier then others."


Again, sorry it's so short. I wrote this fairly quickly…

*** Artists note! So I'm looking for an artist who will be willing to do some pokemon drawings for me to use as a reference for this story and to put up on my deviantart page to direct some of my watchers to this story. I've been busy lately and haven't progressed any on my drawings plus I've been having issues getting Carina right. So I'm looking for a or some artists who are willing to do this just as a request from me or I'm willing to do a trade (writing or a character drawing in return). Sorry I don't pay for commissions… So if you're interested PM me and we can get in touch. Thanks! ~Crystal
