"O.k. everyone, so I'm back in control," Professor Heartwood said into the microphone as she shot a glare at Amanda. Amanda just smirked at her. "The next battle will be between Drako and Phlaire. Battle begin."

"Magby, burn 'em... with style!"

"Ralts. Actually, nah. Zardevoira, no mercy!"

"Magby, start things off with Iron Tail!"

"Use Teleport."

Magby's tail started glowing silver and he ran at Zardevoira. All she did was raise her hand to her forehead and disappear, reappearing behind Magby.

"Use Confusion."

"Ralts." Her eyes glowed blue, and Magby cried out in pain.

"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!"

Little yellow tweety birds briefly appeared around Magby's head. His head glowed white, and he slammed it against the wall of the lab.

"Well that was nice. Zardevoira, full power Focus Blast. Give it your one hundred percent."

"Ralts." She put her hands together at her side and turned into them, and started powering up the multicolored orb. It kept fluctuating in size, but as she poured more focus into it (heh, heh get it. Focus. It's funny.), it stopped fluctuating as much. She released the orb and it exploded into a beam. A very large, very destructive beam. It hit Magby in he face (he'd just turned around) but didn't stop there. It continued past Magby and hit the lab. A little. Not much. The entire lab was just reduced to dust, no big deal.

"What... did... you... DO!? I'll kill you!" Heartwood dropped her microphone and lunged at Drako. However, a fist in the face was more than enough to drop her.

"Stupid woman," Amanda sighed. "It's me and Alessa now. Froakie, come out."

"Azurill, shine like a star. Oh, on second thought, Imma call you you Twinkle! Shine like a star!"

"Azuzu."

"Frooo."

"Twinkle, start strong, use Belly Drum!"

"Froakie use Hydro Pump!"

"Bounce above it using your tail! Then hit it with an Aqua Tail!"

"Take it."

"Wrong move. Switch. Super Rough."

While Twinkle was drumming on her belly, Froakie powered up a high-pressure beam of water and shot it at Twinkle. She (Twinkle) used her tail to bounce above it, then came down on the last of the water. That water was wrapped around Twinkle's tail, joining the water already collected on it. She ran at Froakie and swung it around it with a large wave. Then, she started glowing with a red aura and began hitting the Froakie with her tail repeatedly.

"Froakie, Bounce your way out of it."

"No! Superpower!"

Froakie curled up into a ball, but before he could jump into the air, Twinkle flipped and rammed her glowing red tail onto Froakie's head.

"Froakie. Damn. Return." Froakie was absorbed into the ball. "That means Drako and Alessa will be moving onto the final round. Upon completion of the final round, we will have a losers cup. Are the two of you ready?"

"Yeah."

"Me-n-Twinkle are rearing to go."

"Then run. Burn the energy. You'd better make this a good battle though."

"You know it," Alessa said, flashing him a smile, garnering a smirk out of Drako.

"Let the battle begin."


Author's note:

In case it's not obvious, the first part of this is all battles. The real story story will begin once the battles are done with. Also, there's gonna be a lot of references. Twinkle and Zardevoira were healed off-screen in case you were wondering. Zardevoira is the name that I chose for my Gardevoir in my starterlocke of Pokémon X where I just used starters as my team. Though I did exploit loopholes.
