No one's POV

Three days have passed since Dan's first day of training with his new mentor. Dan had trained hard and well with his Pokemon along with Liz's and Connor's. By the time the tournament was to begin, the trio was ready.

Dan, Liz and Connor, along with their Pokemon were now headed to the Cerulean City Gym where the tournament would take place. The trio was on the way there when Dan said "Man, three days of tough training with Connor and I feel as if I'm ready for anything!"

Liz chuckled and said with a sly look on her face "Overconfidence is a no-no Grapehead. That's how I beat you yesterday wasn't it."

Dan groaned as Liz once again rubbed his defeat in his face. She had won yesterday against Matt with a surprise combo she called 'Aqua Rapid Smash'. The purple haired boy had to admit the attack was well placed and neither him nor Matt saw it coming thus resulting in their defeat.

Connor grinned at the two rookies and said "She's right you know kiddo. Remember, confidence is required but too much makes it hard. He look at that I made a rhyme!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at how childish their teenage friend could be. His eyes were covered by his signature shades but they could tell he was filled with glee because of his little rhyme.

The purple haired boy looked at the golden Lucario and said "Hey, calm him down will ya?"

The golden Pokemon gladly obliged as he slapped the back of his trainer's head making him stagger forward a bit. He looked at them with an annoyed look and said "Why'd you do that?"

Liz laughed a bit and said "Dan was getting a bit annoyed with your rhyme. So could you tone it down?"

Connor removed his shades and winked at the kids and said "Sure jean, sure kiddo."

Dan and Liz face palmed again because of the pet names Connor had given them. Connor gave Liz the name 'jean' because she often wears denim clothes while Connor calls Dan 'kiddo' because it annoys him very very much.

The purple haired boy then said "Stop calling me that Connor!"

"Yeah!" Liz followed.

The vest wearing teen put a finger up and waved it at them and said "Now now, temper children. It would be best for you to be calm for the tournament considering who would be there."

The two rookies remembered that at the tournament there would be some nasty people competing. Even though they weren't at the same division, they were still pretty miffed that they were there. The arrogant Vincent and the tall tailing Ken. There would also be some friends there that they met in the past few days like Searerral, Quincy, Raina, Mark, Sky, Artemis and B. Hopefully this tournament would be fun rather than being a place where people would just argue.

Dan and his friends walked silently for a few minutes but then Liz said "By the way Connor, you never did say why Quincy hates you."

The brunette teen groaned "Don't even get me started. It was just a misunderstanding that I thought her Pokemon was out of control and I had to battle it, but it turns out they were just training. I apologized but the woman still won't accept my apology. My mother always told me to be nice to people and they will like you but what is her problem? A small misunderstanding that I apologized about, she is so stubborn…"

The rookies and their Pokemon laughed as Connor went on and on and on and on about how annoying and stubborn Quincy was until they saw a familiar person sitting by the café with a coffee in her hand and then Connor said "Speak of the devil…"

Dan, Liz and Connor walked towards the sitting girl and then Dan s=and Liz said "Hi Quincy."

The yellow electric type Jordan pooped out of his bag and said "Pichu Pi! (Hi Quincy!)"

Luke gave a nod while Animus and Connor stood behind the rookies and said "Good day."

She put her drink down to her table and said "Hello Dan, Liz, Jordan, Luke."

A tick mark appeared at Connor's head and said "Excuse me lady I greeted you as well. I would appreciate you at least replying."

She drank another sip of her coffee while Dan said "So you headed to the tournament?"

The girl put her drink down again and said "I'm headed there. I just got myself a little drink."

Connor growled a bit because she had ignored him once again. They had seen each other several times at the park while training with Dan and Liz but she only gave regard to Dan and Liz and their Pokemon, heck she even nodded at Animus but did she acknowledge Connor? You guessed it, Nope!

Liz put her hands together and said "Great! We should go there together!"

Quincy shrugged and stood up then said "Sure, let's go."

Connor rolled his eyes knowing that he would have to walk with her so he should best be friendly. As the group was walking, Liz then said "So which of your Pokemon will you use at the tournament Quincy? Will you use your Salamence again or will it be your Metang. Oh! I know! Will you use your Sceptile?"

Quincy glanced an eye at the girl and said "Maybe, I can't really say considering one of my possible opponents is right there."

She jabbed a thumb towards Connor who had an annoyed yet surprised expression on his face while his shades were removed his eyes were ruby red and he said "You're a part of the high tier tournament? If that's the case I wouldn't dare cheat. It's practically dishonorable. It should be me who should be worried; you might ask Liz or Dan about my team so maybe they should watch out for you."

The girl glared right into his eyes and she said "Are you calling me a cheater shades?"

The teen glared back and said "What if I am stonecold?"

The two teens were growling at each other like a pair of angry Arcanines and then Liz said "Guys calm down, we shouldn't be fighting."

Connor and Quincy crossed their arms and turned away from each other while Dan sighed. The male teen then said while storming a few feet away "My mother always told me a gentleman always has patience with people but why am I even wasting my time with someone like her."

The female teen then stormed away a few feet as well while saying "I can hear you, you know. And it should be me wondering why I'm wasting my time with you."

The Pokemon gave small smiles and snickers at their reactions and then Dan said "Maybe we should talk to them individually."

The brunette nodded and said "Alright, let's go."

Dan's POV

As we were walking, Liz was with Connor while I was walking beside Quincy. Her arms were crossed and she had a really ticked of expression on her face. Jordan was on the ground with Luke and they seemed to e talking to each other and I had to fulfill my task in mind. Try to make Connor and Quincy get along.

I coughed in my hand and said "So, you ready for the tournament?"

She uncrossed her arms and said "I guess, I trainer pretty well for these past three days, how about you Dan?"

I gave her a thumb up and said "I think I'm ready to win. All that training hopefully would pay off."

She raised a brow and said "Tough training huh? You made the routine?"

I shook my head and said "Nope, Connor is helping me train."

We looked behind us a bit and saw Connor rambling to Liz who was listening attentively and she said "You mean shades? I may battle him you know. I hope he's ready."

My hands waved and said "I think he is. He beat Tucker without knowing who he was you know."

She looked at me with mild disbelief and said "Really?"

I nodded and said "It's true, he looked like he was going to lose but he turned the battle around at the last minute."

Quincy went silent and then she said "So he must be pretty good. I better watch out then because most of the trainers competing are here for the cash prize while I'm just here to battle."

My eyes looked at her as she kept a straight face and said "Me, Liz and Connor are just here to test our abilities. I want to win so I can believe I can beat Aunt Misty after I lost to her."

She looked at me with her blue eyes and said "That's a good reason. I hope you win then Dan. Good luck."

After her statement and a couple of silent minutes I said "Connors not a bad guy you know. It's just that he saw your situation as a misunderstanding. He also helped me with Vincent."

Her expression turned serious and she said "Well your friend shouldn't have interrupted me besides; I know how to protect myself."

I sighed because she was being so stubborn, time I put my talent to use. I breathed in and said "So what if you see someone being attacked by a Pokemon. I know you would probably jump in as well to help the person."

She went silent and then she said "Y-You're right."

"Well it worked" I thought. "So will you give Connor a chance?"

She sighed and said "I still don't like him but if you say he's not all bad, I'll at least try not to argue with him as much in the tournament."

I grinned as she walked over to Connor to speak.

Liz's POV (Same time as Dan's POV started)

Connor covered his face with his hands as he sighed. His shades were hanging on his shirt and I was standing beside him and Animus as he groaned with his face covered by his hands.

I gave him a pat on the back and said "You okay Connor?"

He removed his hands from his face revealing a pair of topaz yellow eyes and said "I'm fine it's just that woman is just so annoying. I try to be polite but she throws it back in my face."

I've never seen Connor so frustrated before, he was usually patient with people even with Vincent but Quincy managed to snap him for some reason. I watched him absentmindedly as he rambled on and on about what did he do wrong.

I held my hand up and said "Connor, it wasn't really your fault."

"Yes it was." Animus interrupted mentally.

I glared at the golden Pokemon and said "So if she decides to give you a chance, will you accept?"

He stopped talking and looked at me with his eyes and said "Maybe, she's also one of my competitors. Things might not end so well for us in this tournament."

He was distraught that she might hate him more if he wins. So snapped my hands at Connor and said "Connor, relax. Just try your best and try to be more patient with her."

He sighed, put his shades back on and grinned at me while saying "Mother always said everyone deserves a second chance, so why not?"

Just then Quincy and Dan were approaching us and then Connor adjusted his vest a little and walked forward. He stopped in front of her and said "Stonecold…"

"Shades…"

He sighed and said "Look, I don't like you and you don't like me, but for the tournament let's put this aside and look at each other as trainers that are just looking for a good battle so peace for the tournament alright? So friends?"

She shook his hand and said "Competitors, and next time don't interfere; I have a black belt you know."

I giggled as Connor's jaw dropped while Dan dusted his cap absentmindedly. She turned around and started to walk in front of us. Animus slapped Connor's head and said "Come on partner."

No one's POV

By the time the group had reached the Gym, the lobby was already packed with people waiting to get a seat inside the gym's battle area. Dan was excited and ready for battle, Liz was a bit shy with the amount of people in the area, Connor was just whistling to himself and Quincy scanned the room as if expecting something.

The Gym's attendant approached the group and said "Excuse me, are you participating in the tournament or are you here to watch?"

Dan then said "We're here for the tournament."

The attendant checked the list she was holding and said "Names please?"

The purple haired boy then said "Dan Ketchum"

The denim wearing brunette then said "Elizabeth Carter"

The shaded boy grinned and said "Connor Auroris"

The teen age girl then said "Quincy Gracedia"

The attendant flipped the papers and said "Ah here you are, okay all four of you please follow me."

She led the group to a large room where there were trainers and coordinators sitting down, leaning on the wall or doing who knows what. The attendant then said "This is the waiting area; please wait for Hal and he will lead you all to the battlefield."

Connor took a seat, pulled out a small book from his bag and started to read. Dan and Liz sat beside him as Dan started to look at what Connor was reading. Quincy took a seat near the group but then they heard a voice say "Dan! Liz!"

The two rookies turned their gaze and saw a girl with long brown hair and deep green eyes. She was wearing a black shirt, a white skirt and red tennis shoes, she also had a Butterfree necklace around her neck.

Liz stood and greeted "Hi Artemis!"

Dan remained seated and said "Hey you made it!"

She smiled and said "Just in time too, I got the last form for the low tier tournament."

Liz grinned and said "That's good."

Suddenly from behind them they saw a girl wearing a blue shirt, blue skirt, blue sneakers and a skinny guy with dark brown hair wearing a green shirt, black trip pants and a necklace that looked like a thunderstone.

The guy seemed to be flirting with the girl but the girl just seemed to ignore them. Dan waved at him and said "Hey B!"

The guy turned away from the girl and said "Hey bro!"

The guy approached along with the girl and Liz said "Hey Seaerral."

The curly red head grinned and said "Hey Liz."

Connor closed his book and said "Quite a number of friends we have here, if there are friends, that means there are-"

Suddenly three guys entered the room and the middle guy said "Why if it isn't the loser squad along with the Lizard Master."

The group of friends turned to see Vincent and his crew in their usually attire. The boy smiled maliciously at the group and said "If this is what the competition is then I guess all I have to battle is Tim and Mick right boys? How about you Danny-boy, feeling better? Well you're probably gonna get crushed here."

The two guys behind him laughed but then Quincy stepped forward and said "Why do you keep doing this huh?"

Vincent grinned at her and said "Why do you keep stepping forward? Why don't you just sit there and do nothing while I do my business and then after I win this we can you know-"

Quincy grabbed his hand when it went for her necklace; she threw Vincent on the ground while everyone, including the Pokemon except Connor and Animus who were grinning at the scene, were shocked at what she just did. She slowly and painfully twisted his arm and said "First of all you don't mess with a trainer that has a black belt in martial arts. Second of all, after I defeated the three of you at Route 4, you three have some nerves messing with them and me. Third of all, you're the biggest coward of all. You need you friends to back you up, yeah friends should back you up but when you're going to do something really stupid, don't bring your friends into it."

Vincent scrambled up and glared at the entire group while he walked away into a different part of the room with his crew. When Quincy turned around, everyone of Dan and Liz's friends were looking at her and she said "What?"

Everyone starred at her until Artemis said "That was awesome!"

"You showed them!"

"You Rock!"

"Go out with me?"

"That better have taught them a lesson."

Everyone was congratulating Quincy until they heard a voice form the speaker say "All low tier Competitors, please report to the battlefield."

All the low tier participants started to leave but Dan stood beside Connor while the teen said "Remember what I taught you Dan. Good Luck."

Dan ran beside Liz as they entered the battlefield.

Dan's POV

I and Liz were standing next to each other as we were in the waiting area in the battlefield. The MC then said "Good Morning everyone! Welcome to the annual Cerulean City Battle Tournament! Today we will have two tournaments, the low tier and the high tier. Each tournament will have 16 contestants; all battles will be 1 on 1 until they reach the top 4 where it will be 3 on 3. The prize for the low tier tournament will be a Pokemon egg while for the high tier tournament it will be a staggering amount of 20,000!"

The crowd cheered while I looked around at my opponents, there was B, waving at the crowd. There was Artemis smiling at the cheers with a small yellow spider on her shoulder. There was Raina silently smiling at the crowd. Mark was also there grinning like a madman and there was Liz, standing beside me with a nervous expression

The MC then said "Special judges for this tournament will be our very own Cerulean City Gym Leader, Misty!"

The crowd erupted into cheers as my aunt stepped out of the crowd and waved while she walked into the special box.

The MC then said "The final special guest is Frontier Brain and Dome Ace Tucker!"

Tucker came out from the opening in the roof in his usual spandex outfit. The girls squealed and the crowd cheered. He waved to the crowd and the competitors and said "I wish you all good luck and have a great tournament!"

The MC then said "We will not shuffle the names for the first battles!"

The gym went silent as the sixteen faces appeared on the big screen and started to shuffle, everyone was quiet and Liz had a nervous expression on her face. I smiled at her and said "It will be fine, good luck."

She grinned back and said "You too."

Jordan clutched my backpack waiting for the results and Luke stood there with his arms crossed when the shuffling stopped and the pictures turned and appeared.

The MC then said "We have the results and here are our first round battles!"

Parker McKnight vs Cara Lyana

Will Warren vs Mark Styles

B Andy vs Ness Barriso

Raina Chang vs Brian Marther

Cal Paxter vs Artemis Night

Ben Banton vs Merrick Dwight

Liz Carter vs Vanessa Panthon

Dan Ketchum vs Felix Orunis

I grinned at Jordan and said "I guess we're up against that Felix guy and look, Bens here too. (See chapter 5)"

My yellow mouse Pokemon grinned and said "Pichu! Pichu Pi Pi Chu Cha Pi (Cool! Now let's win!)"

The guy named Hal led us to the waiting area where we would wait for our battle. First up was that Parker guy and Cara person. I recognized Parker as the guy who ran me over in my first day at Cerulean. Their battle had been tough but in the end Parker's Hoothoot triumphed over Cara's Dratini.

Next us was that Will guy and Mark. Mark was weird looking with his green hair and blue eyes, he was wearing his usual blue shirt and black jeans and his green and silver sneakers. I met Mark at the park two days ago after training, turns out he was here to battle and earn money for an orphanage back in Unova. Their battle had been pretty one sided with Mark's Larvitar having an advantage against Will's Spinerak thus making him the winner.

After Mark was B going against the girl that ran me over a few days ago, B was dressed in his usual attire while the girl was wearing a shirt and a skirt. B tried to flirt with the girl but he was just turned down. He quickly recovered as the battle started. In the end, he won with his Emolga.

Soon after the duo had joined us back in the waiting area, the next battle was to begin. Next up was Raina and some guy named Brian. Raina was somewhat different form us with her often close to shut eyes, black hair and light crème skin. Me and Liz met her a couple of days ago as well in the Pokemon Center cafeteria, she was all alone so me, Liz and Connor sat with her and we became friends. She battled the Brian guy with all she could and she ended up the winner by a close match with her Growlithe and Brian's Spearow.

She grinned at me while I gave her a thumbs up. Liz was completely stressing out, pacing the room as she watched the battles. I tried to calm her down but she was so agitated.

Next up was a tall bulky guy named Cal and our friend Artemis. She was in her usual attire and her Butterfree necklace hung by her neck. We met her back then in the village in Route 4, she warned us about Vincent and we became friends since then. She won the battle pretty well even at a disadvantage with her Oshawott going against a Bulbasaur.

After she won she kept jumping because of her win and she can't stop talking about the battle she had when she was up in the box with us. Next up was Ben, the guy I had my first battle with. He was going against some guy named Merrick Dwight. He won with his Butterfree after delivering a Giga Drain attack to Merrick's Trapinch.

After Ben's battle he went back up and finally noticed me, he approached me with glee and said "Sup Dan! I haven't seen you since Viridian!"

I clasped his hand and said "Yeah man, how've you been?"

He

Grinned and said "You know, just got my first badge a week ago thanks to my Butterfree and her Giga Drain. Now I'm here for this gym but I heard it's pretty tough."

I laughed nervously and said "You have no idea."

I saw Liz nervously sitting down in a seat as she waited for her name to be called and is said "Hey Ben, catch you later. I got to go."

He nodded as he went over to take a seat. I walked over to Liz with Jordan and Luke by my side and said "You okay?"

She looked at me and said "Should I just forfeit? I don't feel I'm ready."

I shook my head and said "No way Liz, you're pretty good. I know you can win."

The MC then said "Next up! Liz Carter vs Vanessa Panthon!"

She stood up and said "That's me, thanks Dan."

Jordan waved at her and I said "No problem Liz. Good Luck."

I watched her as she confidently walked down the stairs to the battlefield.

Liz's POV

This was it. It's my battle. I breathed deeply with my eyes closed as the MC said "And hailing from Viridian City! Liz Carter!"

I sighed and walked onto my area in the battlefield. The crowd cheered and a waved back at them. I looked at my opponent and it turns out she was the blondie that ran over Dan a few days ago. I looked at the crowd and saw Connor, Quincy and other people watching me. I grinned at her and said "Let's make this battle fun alright?"

She grinned back and said "Alright! Go Nidoran!"

Out of her Pokeball came a small blue Pokemon that sniffed the air and said its name. I looked at the blue Pokemon and pointed my Pokedex at it and it said "Nidoran, The Poison Pokemon. Though small, it must be treated with caution because of its powerfully toxic barbs. The female has smaller horns."

I closed the machine and said "That's a nice looking Nidoran."

Vanessa swished her hair and said "Thanks but flattery isn't going to get you anywhere."

I picked a Pokeball from my belt and said "I know it won't so I hope my training will pay off, Clefairy shine bright!"

Out my Pokeball came my small pink Pokemon Clefairy, she stood proudly on the battlefield and winked to the crowd. I rolled my eyes at Clefairy being an attention hog, the referee raised his flags and said "Clefairy versus Nidoran, battle begin!"

The MC said "The battle between Clefairy and Nidoran has begun! Tucker, Misty what are your insights on this battle."

Misty held her mike and said "Nidoran is a somewhat novice Pokemon while Clefairy is a rare find. It also says that both of them are coordinators so it should be a good battle."

Tucker on the other hand stood up and said "A beautiful battle among these two coordinators await! I can't wait to see the winner of the match!"

I pointed to Nidoran and said "Clefairy use Tackle!"

Clefairy ran towards Nidoran while Vanessa just smiled and said "Take the attack Nidoran!"

The blue Pokemon was hit directly and flew back several feet. Clefairy sttod there but then she fell on one knee with her face having a small shade of purple. The MC then said "Looks like Clefairy has been poisoned by Nidoran's Poison Point ability!"

I silently cursed and said "Great, Clefairy hang on! Use Thunder Punch and Fire Punch!"

She ran towards Nidoran with her right fist crackling with electricity and left fist being coated in flames. Vanessa then said "Nidoran keep dodging and then counter with Poison Sting!"

Nidoran ducked, leapt and rolled away from Clefairy's attacks and hit her directly with the poison type attack after making some distance. Clefairy staggered back and I said "Oh no, she isn't going to last much longer like this. I have to take this risk, Clefairy use Metronome!"

Clefairy jumped back and started to rock her hands felt to right as they started to glow. Vanessa then said "Hurry Nidoran! Before she finishes, use Take Down!"

The poison type was charging towards Clefairy as she still waved her hand. I bit my lip hoping for a good attack. As Nidoran closed in I watched as Clefairy stopped moving her arms and when Nidoran was about a hairs lengt away from her she fired a large torrent of flames directly hitting Nidoran and rendering her unable to battle.

I leapt with joy as the MC said "After a close defeat, Clefairy and Liz pull through with a desperate Metronome provoked Overheat!"

The referee raised his flags and said "Nidoran is unable to battle, Clefairy wins!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and shouts; I returned Clefairy with a thanks, wlaked towards Vanessa and said "Good battle."

She smiled and said "Same to you, I hope to battle you again someday. And next time luck won't be by your side."

I grinned and said "Sure!"

The crowd one again cheered for us as we went back to the waiting area, by the stairs I saw Dan waiting with Connor and my purple haired friend said "Nice work Liz!"

He approached me and Jordan hopped to my shoulder and I guess he congratulated me. Luke gave a nod like Animus while Connor gave me a thumbs up with his shades covering his eyes.

The MC then said "Final match for the eliminations will begin shortly!"

Dan swept his hair back and said "Guess that's me. Wish me luck."

I handed him Jordan and said "You don't need it."

Connor clapped his hand and said "Go get'em kiddo."

Dan grinned and waved silently as he went down the stairs and to the field.

Connor's POV

It was finally Dan's turn to battle. I wanted to see how much he has improved with just three days of training. Me and Liz looked over the waiting area and saw Dan waving to the crowd as they cheered. The MC then said "The final round of the first round battles will now begin, in the red corner will be Felix Orunis hailing from Striatrion City!"

The crowd cheered as a young blonde boy who was about as tall as Dan ran to his side of the field. He waved and said "This is for Unova!"

I chuckled because not much people do this for their region, but for themselves. The MC then said "From the blue corner, hailing from Pallet Town is the youngest of the Pallet Princes, Dan Ketchum!"

Dan slowly walked to his side of the battlefield with Jordan waving madly at the crowd and loving the attention while Luke just starred at the crowd while walking wondering what they were doing.

The referee raised his flags and said "Trainers choose your Pokemon!"

The young blonde threw a Pokeball and said "Unfezant!"

Out of the Pokeball came out the fully evolved Unova native flying type, it screeched its name as it flew ready for battle. I watched as Dan eyed it slowly, Liz was also looking at the Pokemon and she said "So who do you think Dan will use?"

I chuckled a bit and said "Well my guess would be Jordan for a advantage but Dan was Dan so my guess would be…"

"Emil its go time!"

Liz looked at me with a mildly annoyed expression as I chuckled somewhat loudly causing attention to look onto me from the people from the waiting area. Dan took my advice and made a catchphrase because I think it actually makes you look so much better.

The Valiant Pokemon soared into the air glaring at its fellow Unovan Pokemon, The MC then said "Looks like we're going to have an aerial battle folks! This should be a great battle! Misty, Tucker what do you think?"

Tucker grabbed the mike from him and said "An amazing battle between these two young trainers filled with potential and youth, also a battle among these two rare flying types would be a sure should see battle!"

Misty sweat dropped at Tucker and stole the mike from him and said "My nephew Dan, is a good trainer like his father but it should be a rule to never underestimate your opponent so I don't know what to expect."

The MC then said "You heard them folks, the battle will surely be exciting so let's begin!"

The crowd cheered and then the ref said "Braviary vs Unfezant, Battle Begin!"

The blond then said "Go Unfezant, use Attract!"

The Unfezant spun around in the air and winked at the Valiant Pokemon sending small hearts towards the male Pokemon. Dan's eyes widened and he said "Dodge Emil!"

The male Pokemon tried to dodge but he was too late, he was directly hit with the Attract and he flew around with his eyes shaped as hearts. Dan pointed at the Unfezant and said "Come on Emil use Aerial Ace!"

His flying type refused to obey as the blonde said "Unfezant use your Aerial Ace!"

The female flying type hit the status afflicted with the powerful attack and then the blonde said "That's it Unfezant, now keep hammering him!"

I saw Dan grit his teeth as Emil was hit repeatedly with the flying attack and he just called random attacks to Emil so he could attack. My student was panicking, Liz saw it as well and I said "He's panicking; he can't win if this keeps up."

Liz went over the edge and shouted "Come on Dan! Are you going to let yourself lose! You can do it!"

He looked up at the both of us and he gave a small grin. He had a plan now, he closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. Emil was drastically damaged as he fell to the ground, he struggled to get up and when he did, he was no longer the effect of attract. Dan grinned and said "Let's finish in one hit Emil! Use Quick Attack!"

He zoomed towards the Unfezant and then the blonde said "Give up! Use Attract!"

The Unfezant winked at Emil and sent hearts in his direction but then Dan grinned and said "New move time! Use Wild Charge!"

I knew Dan would use that move, when I said Emil needed variety in attacks he wanted that one so I took it and helped him learn it but now there was one problem, he hasn't fully mastered it and there was still the problem of recoil, Emil was still very damaged and a recoil from Wild Charge could send him over the edge.

The Valiant Pokemon burst into crackling electricity and the MC said "Amazing! A Braviary couldn't normally learn Wild Charge but then the Prince of Pallet has stunned us with this amazing move, could it be over for Unfezant and Felix?"

The blonde was frozen and his Unfezant was hit with the super effective attack making it crash to the ground. Emil landed on the ground as well and he fell down due to recoil. Dan shouted "Come on Emil! You can do it!"

The Braviary got back up while the Unfezant stayed down. The referee raised his flags and said "Unfezant is unable to battle! The winner is Braviary!"

The crowd erupted into cheers as Dan ran to Emil with Jordan and Luke by his side and he said "Nice work Emil! I guess Connor's training methods did work!"

Felix returned his Unfezant and said "Dan, you really are good, that Wild Charge took me by surprise. Good Luck!"

Dan and Felix went back to the waiting area and then Liz ran up to Dan and said "Congrats Dan!"

He gave a goofy grin and said "Well that's just the first round. It's not over yet."

Animus and I approached him and said "You gave us quite a scare there kiddo."

He rolled his eyes and said "I know right, at least I pulled through thanks to Liz snapping me back to reality."

I glanced at her and she was in a deep shade of red, I laughed on the inside and said "Well then I guess your next battle will be interesting."

I pointed at the large screen and the MC said "Here are the second round battles, the battles will still be one on one."

Mark Styles vs Raina Chang

Ben Banton vs Dan Ketchum

Parker McKnight vs B Andy

Liz Carter vs Artemis Night

Raina glanced uneasily at Mark who was using his phone. The Parker guy gave a thumbs up to B who seemed to be flirting with a girl. Liz looked over to her friend and gave her a grin and a nod while the Ben kid approached Dan and said "Well I guess we're going to have that rematch Dan."

Dan hi fived him and said "Yup, let the best trainer win."
