The second half of the epic battle!

Harry Potter movie was great. Unfortunately I went with three people who were super noisy. =P

Can anyone catch a hit toward the twist I'll be using a lot later on? If not you may be able to catch hints later on if I decide to write more in. Please don't say anything in reviews about what you think the twist is, just in case you get it correct.

Disclaimer: Pokémon, along with any people, places or things from it are not mine, nor do I claim it to be. The only thing I do own is myself and the dream this all started from.

"Spearow, use Growl on Squirtle," I told my little, feathered friend.

Spearow complied, making a squawk-like growl at the blue turtle Pokémon, lowering its attack.

My two opponents looked at each other, seeming confused. They both shrugged it off quickly though.

"Charmander, use Ember on Bulbasaur again," Paula told her red, fiery, little lizard.

Carmander did as he was told, causing Bulbasaur's health to drop to 7HP, 'Perfect,' I thought.

"Bulbasaur, use Tackle on Charmander," I told my little green, dinosaur like Pokémon, who slammed himself into his foe, which brought its health down to around a quarter.

Samantha laughed, "Big mistake," she commented, "Squirtle, use Tackle on Bulbasaur."

"Brace yourself Bulbasaur," I told him, "This may hurt."

Just as I had planned, Bulbasaur hung on with 1HP, "Great job little guy!" I told him enthusiastically.

It was Spearow's turn again, and I knew she could take Charmander out with another Peck, but if she missed I knew Bulbasaur couldn't take another Ember. I thought for a second, though I wanted Bulbasaur to finish the battle I knew I could manage to do it with just Spearow.

"Spearow, use Peck on Charmander!" I called.

The Peck caused Charmander to faint, which left Paula out of the battle, made Bulbasaur grow to level 10, and also gave me another turn with Bulbasaur.

"Bulbasaur, use Tackle on Squirtle," I knew I had the battle won now.

This left only a small dent in Squirtle's HP, maybe an eighth, its defence high enough to effectively wall any attacks.

Samantha had her Squirtle use Tackle on Bulbasaur, which, though he had regained a bit of HP from the level up, unfortunately caused him to faint, also causing Samantha's Squirtle to almost grow a level.

"Wonderful job Bulbasaur," I whispered as I returned him to his Pokéball, "Now Spearow, use Peck."

Even though Peck was a move that would get a STAB when Spearow used it, Spearow still wasn't strong enough to take Squirtle out, but it did manage to bring him down to a third health, so I knew one more Peck should do it.

"Squirtle, use Bubble," Samantha commanded.

I watched Spearow's health bar intently, I knew this definitely wouldn't be able to make her faint since Squirtle's attack stat was low, but it would still do a chunk of damage because of the STAB.

A look of horror shot across my face as the health bar continued dropping past half way, and into the red zone, 'No way,' I thought.

Spearow's health depleted to 0, and she let out a cry before falling, unconscious, to the ground. A message "Critical hit!" appeared on my screen.

I returned Spearow to her Pokéball as I watched Samantha's Squirtle's experience bar go up, and hit the end.

"Well at least if I had to lose it was for a purpose," I said with mock bitterness. I didn't like losing, but I wasn't angry about it.

Samantha laughed, sensing I was just joking, "Yeah, I thought I was done for," she confessed, "I was lucky that Bubble got a critical hit!"

I nodded, "Great battle you two," I commented, "I think you'll have no problem with Brock."

"Thanks," Paula said, "I hope we won't, since now both Plan A and Plan B are possible."

"All thanks to me!" I said, beaming.

"You know, you could have won if you had paid more attention to your screen," Samantha commented.

"What?" I was rather confused, "How?"

"Your Bulbasaur learned Vine Whip when it levelled up," Samantha said, obviously trying not to laugh.

I face-palmed, "Are you kidding me?"

"Nope," Paula said, also about to laugh.

"Wonderful," I said, angry at my lack of observation, "Why do I always overlook something?"

Samantha let out a small chuckle, "Don't feel too bad. I know I'd be missing everything without Paula. Plus you did help up by losing."

I sighed, "Yeah, I guess so."

Paula had now managed to swallow the impending laugh, "We're off to heal, and then we're going to challenge Brock. Would you like to come with us?"

"I need to heal as well, but I'm going to train Bulbasaur and Spearow up another level, since Spearow's so close to levelling, I may as well."

The three of us made our way back to the Pokémon Center, healed our Pokémon and went our separate ways, them north, and me south.

I brought my Pokémon out of their Pokéballs, "I'm sorry you two," I told them, "It's my fault you both fainted. We could have won."

"Bulba!" Bulbasaur said cheerfully.

Spearow echoed him with an equally cheerful, "Spearow!"

"You guys aren't mad at me?" I asked, surprised at their reactions.

The two of them shook their heads.

I smiled, "Well, I'll make sure to prevent it from happening again," I promised, "Though there may be times where I can't prevent anything."

I returned them back into their Pokéballs and started walking around in the tall grass on the west side of Route 2.

It took four battles for Bulbasaur to level up, and only one for Spearow, now I felt more ready to take on Brock.

"Jenn, hey!" a voice called from behind me, to the south.

I turned around, "Oh, Dana! Hi!" I responded, "How was your adventure through Viridian Forest?"

"Long," she replied, "I walked all the way to the west before taking the correct path, but my Pokémon haven't been stronger!"

"Well I wouldn't have assumed they would have gotten weaker," I joked.

Dana chuckled slightly, "Oh, and I saw this guy who looked really spaced out on my second day out there," she mentioned, "He said he met you. What did you do to him?"

"Er, I just..." I started, should I tell Dana I told Doug about the whole "creating the world" thing.

"Come on, spit it out," she said sceptically.

"I told him that I created the Pokémon world," I blurted.

Dana's eyes widened, "You WHAT?"

I sighed, "You heard me. I told some innocent guy I had just meant that I'm basically the God of this world."
