"Then its 2 vs 2? This is going to be interesting," Walcekite smirked and got two pokemon from her belt and held them in separate hands. "Let's catch these cuties, my cuties" she said to her pokemon and threw them both in front of the wild ones.
With a bright azure light, two little pokemon appeared on the battlefield. One was a dark grey Zorua, with a few red accents and bright blue eyes and the other one was a happy pink and cream colored kitty with slit-like eyes. They both shouted their names, one aggressively and the other joyfully, respectfully.
The two opponents - an Emolga and a shiny Litwick seemed a little startled from the growling Meilli, but both smirked and looked at each other. Walcekite hoped they wouldn't have good teamwork, but they didn't seem to dislike each other so anything was possible.
"Now Meilli, use Shadow Ball on Litwick and Pela - Ice Beam on Emolga!"
As the attacks began, the other trainers observed the battle carefully. Catlesy was mostly awing from the cuteness, but Farrioust was seriously watching, with arms crossed on his chest.
The shiny candle pokemon shot a Shadow Ball as counterattack against Meilli's attack and both dark balls exploded a few feet from the ground, not hurting anyone.
The Emolga evaded Pela's Ice Beam with her incredible speed and used Pursuit, quickly hitting Pela.
Suddenly, the kitten pokemon got sparks around her and started to move hesitantly.
"What's going on?" Walcekite asked her pokemon.
"That Emolga probably has the ability Static. It has a 30% chance to paralyze the opponent if they make contact," explained Farrioust.
"Thanks," she said to him and turned to Pela. "Then let's use a Thunder Wave on both of them!"
Pela nodded and the sparks got more intense around her body, but the paralysis was kicking in. She started shivering to refuse the paralysis and she won. Lightning struck the Emolga, who wasn't scared at first and only backed away a few feet. The Litwick was further, but Pela did her best and landed a hit on him as well.
"Alright! Way to go!" Walcekite jumped a few times clapping. She knew she looked like a little girl, but she didn't care. Pela was wonderful. "Now, Meilli, you will have to help Pela when she is in trouble, but now, use Pursuit on the Litwick! Pela, try to use Ice Beam on Emolga again," she commanded softer for the kitten pokemon.
As Meilli slashed her opponent, Pela conjured a weak Ice Beam, that, although, hit the target, but didn't seem to have much effect. The Emolga flew around the kitten pokemon and shot an Electro Ball, that flung Pela to Meilli and even Litwick.
"So much for the opponents' teamwork," thought Walcekite and shouted. "Hang in there Meilli and Pela."
The Litwick was furious because of the Emolga's action and his flame grew very big. It released several streams of blue fire to different directions, hitting the close opponents and even Emolga. Meilli and Pela were flinging around the battlefield like rag dolls, but still stood up as fast they could, with determined looks on their faces.
"Pela - Attract on Litwick! Meilli, use Shadow Ball on Emolga!"
Meilli showed her speed to be close to Emolga's and even without moving herself, her attacks flew very fast and easily hit the flying squirrel pokemon. It seemed the Emolga wanted to hit the dark ball with her Electro Ball, but the Paralysis did its work. Sadly, Pela didn't have that much luck and her Attract wasn't released, so Litwick used Psychic and flung her away, almost hitting Meilli, but she managed to jump away just in time.
"Pela - Water Pulse on Litwick! Meilli use Pursuit on Emolga!"
Being the only one not paralyzed, Meilli was the swiftest of the four pokemon. She showed elegance, speed and ferociousness that proved to be a powerful combination. Emolga wasn't fast enough to get away and the tricky fox pokemon could slash with all her might.
Although Pela managed to make a big water ball, the Litwick stopped it in mid air with its Telekinesis. Pela's job was done, but the candle pokemon had to concentrate further with sparks not leaving his body and repressing his power.
"Pela, can you move?" Walckeite asked carefully and her pokemon turned around with a confident smile on her face, though the sparks strongly decreased Walcekite's assurance. She looked at her other pokemon, but knew what was needed for her plan to work was too small on Meilli. "Pela, you have to try to knock your Water Pulse out of Litwick's Telekinesis and make it fly straight at him."
The shiny pokemon got startled, but his face got more serious as he tried to concentrate more. The kitten pokemon got serious too, but not startled at all. She sprinted with little jumps, but it didn't seem she could jump higher with the Paralysis. Suddenly, Meilli ran to her teammate and stopped just in front of her, laying down a bit. Pela understood Meilli's plan and jumped on her back. When the Zorua felt little footsteps, she jumped herself, raising Pela and letting her jump from a higher surface.
When the pokemon separated, an Electro Ball flew just a little too late and got through the parting without making contact with anyone. Pela did a somersault and hit the Water Ball with her fluffy pink tail. Walcekite was scared that the water would engulf Pela's tail, but the attack didn't show a wish to hurt its maker and gave into the hit, flying straight to the ghost and fire type pokemon, engulfing him instead.
"Wow! You two are amazing!" Walcekite jumped and clapped again. Litwick should have lost much of his health and that left only Emolga. "Now take down Emolga girls! Shadow Ball and Ice Beam!"
The Litwick laid on the ground when he was released from the Water Pulse. Sparks and water wasn't a good thing for a pokemon who lives because of his flame and he didn't move, probably trying to suck the life energy out of the pokemon and people around him, to remake his flame.
The flying squirrel pokemon knew she was in trouble, so she used Acrobatics, to try and evade the attacks. Her speed was reduced, but she still left afterimages while gliding above the battlefield. The Ice Beam tried to catch up, but only got Emolga's tail end. At least that made her fall to the ground, tumbling a bit. Meilli's Shadow Ball didn't hit her at first, but she decided to shoot another one and got Emolga when she tried to get up.
"Meilli...That was a little too sneaky. You shouldn't hit a pokemon when its down like that," Walcekite scolded her pokemon softly. "You had a chance to hit, but Emolga was just too fast that time. You'll get her next time," she checked her opponents. They both were panting, but both started getting up. "Although, you can show your power now. Finish them off with Night Daze!"
Meilli gulped, but stood confidently. Her eyes shone bright blue and she raised her front paws into the air. A crimson aura appeared around the little tricky fox pokemon and the dark cloud engulfing her got bigger and bigger.
"Pela. Jump into my arms!" shouted Walcekite backing away and catching the running kitten. She knew this attack could hurt everyone around Meilli, even her and Farrioust with Catlesy, so she warned them too. "Back away! This can get destructive."
When Meilli was storing up power, Litwick and Emolga looked at each other and both started making attacks - Shadow Ball and Electro Ball respectfully, but then Meilli brought her paws down, making a pink and crimson forcefield spread throughout the battlefield from her. The force created strong winds and raised dust and dirt from the ground. Soon it reached the beggining of the forest, that had small and thin trees. They started leaning because of the power and ended up cracking, breaking and falling.
The opponents tried to withstand the force, but were quickly knocked off the ground and flung by the intense power. Walcekite turned away, holding Pela in her arms and let the force hit her back. Farrioust and Catlesy turned around as well. Walcekite saw the dark wave spreading around her and further to the forest but then it suddenly stopped. The dust and dirt fell to the ground and the trees that didn't break got back to their normal poses. Walcekite turned around, put down Pela and ran towards her Zorua.
"Meilli! Meilli! Are you alright?!" she shouted, looking at the pokemon's back. She was panting heavily, but didn't turn around. Walcekite reached her and carefully picked her up and turned her around.
Her face was something Walcekite never saw before: resentful and furious eyes, mouth opened wide enough to show all sharp fangs, wrinkles on her nose also showed anger. A furious and snarling face. It was scary for Walcekite to see her pokemon like that, but Meilli wasn't growling or something similar. She was just panting with a frozen face.
"Meilli...what's happening," Walcekite whispered and laid down on her knees, laying her Zorua on her lap and stroking her softly.
Pela came up to her teammate and nuzzled her head to Zorua's side. Meilli flinched, but remained still. Walcekite continued stroking her and she felt the tension from her body decreasing. At first Meilli's tail started wagging a little, then she started letting her nails out and in. Of course Walcekite flinched from the first feeling of Meilli's claws piercing her clothes and trying to go deeper into her skin, but she let her Zorua to recover any way she needs.
"Did she snap?" Catlesy asked when she and Farrioust approached. "Maybe it was too much for her?"
*sigh* "...What have i done?" Walcekite whispered. She raised Meilli to her face again, nuzzled her forehead to the pokemon's and kissed it. "I'm so sorry. That much force in such a little creature... It can't go without consequences."
"But...I tried so hard," Meilli's face changed to her normal one and all her body softened like a pillow.
"Meilli. You are back!" Walcekite grinned with a few tears in her eyes and warmly hugged her pokemon. "You were amazing. You surpassed your own abilities. I would have been happy with even a lighter Night Daze. This power wasn't necessary."
"Really? I can do a weaker one?" she asked with a shivering voice. "This one was so hard... so painful..."
"Yes. You can do one that doesn't make you feel pain at all," said Walcekite warmly, still hugging Meilli.
"But still. What power..." Farrioust was astonished and suddenly Meilli froze again.
"It's happening again..." Catlesy said cautiously. "She is snarling."
"YOU!" the little pokemon growled while she was shouting using Telepathy. Meilli was looking at Farrioust over Walcekite's shoulder.
"Meilli, what's wrong?" Walcekite wanted to hold her Zorua tighter, but she jumped out of her master's arms and landed in front of the teen boy.
"You are that bastard who used me and then got rid of me!" she continued shouting and began to approach Farrioust like he was her victim.
"What? What are you talking about?" Farrioust was backing away.
"Meilli... You mean that guy who defeated a Gothorita with you and then made her rip your pokeball in two, was Farrioust?"
She nodded still snarling. It was obvious she was about to jump on him and rip him to shreds.
"Meilli!" Walcekite ran to the two and stood between them, with her eyes directed to the Zorua. "If he really was the one making you suffer, then I should even thank him... I mean, if it weren't for him, we might have never even met."
The tricky fox pokemon stopped in her tracks and shook off her unnatural, angry face, but her fangs, ready to bite and tear a part, were still visible.
"I guess," she lowered her head. But I won't forgive him," when she raised her eyes again, they were sparkling from tears. Walcekite squatted down and gave Meilli her hand. The little pokemon nuzzled her head and jumped into Walcekite's lap.
"Uh, guys!" Catlesy disturbed the quiteness that was only interrupted by Meilli's sobbing. "What about Emolga and Litwick?"
Everyone looked in the direction where they last saw the fainted pokemon. Walcekite sighed with relief when they were still there and even still fainted.
"Meilli, Pela - I think we added two more pokemon to our team," Walcekite looked at both of her pokemon, when Meilli jumped next to Pela. The victorious trainer took out two pokeballs and threw them both towards the wished pokemon. The wild ones didn't resist and in a matter of seconds already belonged to Walcekite.
"Two pokemon in one go? I've got to admit that's impressive," Catlesy smiled and asked. "Will you nickname them?"
"Yeah. But I better keep them in their pokeballs until we get to a pokemon center. I'll call Emolga Palabella and Litwick - Locus," said Walcekite when she picked up both of the half red and half white balls.
"Did you come up with those names earlier?" Catlesy tilted her head.
"Yeah. Well I had a few years to plan this out," she smiled at Catlesy and turned to her pokemon. "You girls did great. Now get some rest," she retrieved Meilli and Pela to their respective pokeballs and turned to Farrioust. "Still, that was some mean joke you had Meilli go through."
"I swear, I didn't do such a thing," he defended himself.
"Whatever. You lost major points in my eyes," she turned around and went towards Nimbasa City.
"Dude, if you really did that, you are seriously cold-hearted," Catlesy walked past him without even a peek at him and joined Walcekite.
Farrioust looked confused. "Now what do I do? Can I go with them?" he wondered. "I'll just keep a few meters away," he thought while sighing. "That Zorua has some power," he said to himself and went after the girls.
