Dan's POV

I sat down beside Luke who was snoozing in his seat while Jordan was inside my backpack again looking around for something to eat. Liz was shining Squirtle's shell while the water type was laid down on her lap. Connor was whistling a tune with his earphones on while his legs were propped up on another chair while Animus was in the same position as his trainer.

It was the time for a break, a thirty minute intermission between battles to ready and clean up the field. He others were just relaxed as they waited for the upcoming battles. I turned to Liz and said "So how do you think you'll fair against Artemis?"

She stopped wiping Squirlte's shell with the cloth, looked at her opponent who was playing with a small yellow spider and said "I don't know, maybe I can win, and maybe I can't. Artemis is a good battler and I'm not even sure how good she is as a coordinator."

I playfully poked her on the forehead and said "Come on Liz, you're thinking negative again. Remember the thing Connor said."

I tried my best imitation of Connor's voice and accent and said "Mother always said that if you don't think positively your goals won't be lively."

She gave a laugh after what I said and then Connor said "Watch it jeans, kiddo, I heard that."

I stuck my tongue out at Connor and he (I guess) rolled his eyes. Liz laughed again and she said "How about you and that Ben guy, who was he and how do you think you'll do?"

My eyes drifted to Ben who was raiding the food table with B and Parker. I rolled my eyes and said "Well Ben is a pretty decent trainer. I guess I can stand a chance against him, but if I were to say, I think were about equal for a good battle with each other."

She grinned and said "Want to get a snack?"

My feet suddenly pulled me up and I said "Yep. Hey Connor you in?"

He took off his shades and said "Nah, I'm good."

Me and Liz stood up as we left our Pokemon to talk with each other. I quickly pace to the table while Liz giggled behind me. When we got to the table it was filled with different kinds of finger foods like Fries, Chips, Fruits and other things.

Ben had a full stack of food on his plate while B was just holding an apple. I decided to get to know the Parker guy so I walked up to him and said "Hey"

He swept his hair and said "Hey"

Liz went forward and said "Hi I'm Liz and this is Dan."

The guy waved and smiled "Names Parker, I come from Dewford Town in the Hoenn region."

I then said "I come from Pallet, I kind of met you a few days back because of you kind of running me over just so you could get to Tucker."

He eyed me from top to bottom and said "Oh yeah, I'm sorry about that. See I wasn't running to get to Tucker…I was running from-"

"Parky!"

Me and Liz turned as Parker put his food down and said "Oh no…"

The curly blonde and the short haired brunette ran towards us and then Liz said "Hey aren't they the ones who-"

Bam, I was suddenly run over by the two girls as the tackled Parker to the ground. Parker grunted and said "Ness, Vanessa, get off me."

The two girls stood up and helped Parker up while I struggled to get up and said "Hi"

The two girls politely waved at the both of us and said "Hi!"

Parker dusted his shirt and said "Guys, say hello to my friends Ness and Vanessa."

The blonde yanked his left arm and said "Come on Parky let's get you ready for your battle."

The short haired brunette yanked at his other arm and said "

I laughed nervously while the girls started to flirt and argue with Parker right there having an annoyed expression. B looked at him with awe while Ben gave silent snickers. Liz sweat dropped while I started to say "So how do you think you'll do against B?"

He was about to speak when both girls grabbed one of his arms each and started to drag him away. Parker gave a look that said 'Help Me' as the girls dragged him away. I laughed and said "Nice conversation."

All four of us who were at the table laughed while I started to get some food for me and my Pokemon.

Connor's POV

I scanned the room while the others were up and about doing their things. Dan and Liz were with Ben, Parker, B and the two girls that seemed to be trying to rip Parker in half by yanking his arms. Raina was chatting with Artemis and Seaerral while Mark sat in his seat while he fiddled with his phone. Vincent was with his two goons at the edge of the room probably still recovering from that reverse throw Stonecold did. Everyone else was just busy doing their own little thing but what really crossed my mind was where the hell is Ken? Not that I care or anything it's just where is he? He said he would beat us all and I so dearly want to prove him wrong.

I closed my eyes as I listened to the music coming from my earphones. I whistled the tune of the song as I nodded my head to the left and the right matching the beat. Suddenly a voice then said "Hey Shades, you mind lifting your feet off my seat?"

I opened my eyes and saw Quincy standing over me with her hand on her hips. She was glaring at me and I said "Alright Stonecold, mother always said that manners before anything else."

I lifted my feet off the chair and she sat down on it while I said "So where are you from?"

She eyed me with one of her brows raised and said "Why do wanna know?"

I sat up straight and shrugged then said "I don't know, but I guess I just want to get to know you better."

Quincy leaned back and said "Who are you, my counselor?"

I rolled my eyes and muttered "Mother always said do not be rude to those who are rude."

Quincy had a bored expression while she said "You always talk about your mother, mama's boy much?"

I rolled my eyes from under my shades and said "There is nothing wrong with following the teachings your mother has taught you."

She shrugged and said "Yeah I guess but what kind of person is your mother, it's as if she taught you to act like a prince."

I took off my shades and said "What's with the sudden interest in my life Stonecold?"

"What's with the sudden interest in my life Shades? Asking about where I come from…"

I threw my hands up in the air in defeat and said "My God! I'm just trying to be polite! If you have to be so stuck up about it why did I even bother trying to give you a chance, you should be grateful I gave you one."

She stood up from her seat and said "Give me a chance? You're the one who should be grateful with me giving you a chance."

I stood up and glared at her with my eyes being covered by my shades, we were already face to face with each other growling and glaring like an Arcanine and Persian. She turned her head and stormed off.

I sank back down to my seat and Animus said "That went well partner."

My shades were removed by my hands and I said "Shut up Animus, I'm not trying to sound ungentlemanly or anything but why the hell is she so difficult?"

My golden Lucario sat up straight now and said "Maybe it's because you're trying to be nice. Not actually being nice. She could get along with you great partner, you two are unique people believe me. SO I think you two will eventually adjust to each other like Delfi and Tony did….but on a lesser scale of it ending up with the training field being covered in ice and flames."

I chuckled at his statement because my two talking Pokemon Tony my Houndoom and Delfi my Glaceon absolutely despise each other, they won't stop arguing and I have to admit I guess me and Quincy did kind of act that way. But what did Animus mean by us being 'special' people?

My train of thoughts was rudely interrupted by the MC saying "All participants please be ready for the matches to begin."

Animus crossed his arms and nodded towards me as we joined the others by the edge to watch the battle. First up was Raina and Mark, two new friends to me, Liz and Dan.

We met the golden hearted Mark and the head strong Raina at the park a few days back during training.

Flashback

Dan was training Emil along with my help so the flying type could learn an assortment of moves. I had several special ones in mind that could prove useful. My purple haired friend took off his cap and waved to the distance, there was Liz training her own Pokemon as well. I had explained to her also the five points of training and now she aims to improve herself more.

"One more type Emil!"

The flying type flew towards the target I had set up but before it could it hit, the Valiant Pokemon had tried to use the Wild Charge attack we taught him. He crashed on the target and fell to the ground.

Dan ran up to him and said "You okay Emil?"

The flying type slowly got up and nodded. Dan ruffled the feathers on its head and said "Good, now let's try again."

The boy was really in tune with his Pokemon, they act as if they were together for a long time but I still don't understand why his starter doesn't completely trust him. Animus tried to punch me again but I just simply leaned to the left evading his attack. Animus and I usually train this way and now as Dan and his Pokemon were training I decided to get some training done.

All my other Pokemon were also around the area training as usual. Tony my Houndoom was regrettably arguing with Delfi again and I am sure this would not end well. Trevor my Haxorus was in a pushing contest with my Eltectivire Jake and my Blaziken, Warren was silently meditating under the shade of a tree.

I blocked one of Animus' punches and said "My friend, why don't you ask Warren for some training for now. I have to help Dan a bit."

He relaxed his muscles from his fighting position and said "Alright, but Warren better last longer now."

I watched as Animus ran toward the meditating Warren. I walked over to Dan who was spraying a Potion on Emil and I said "Alright Kiddo, I think I see the problem here."

I gestured for all of us to sit down. Whenever I explain something we have to be sitting down. When we were all seated I looked at Dan's team of five and said "Dan, when electric types use their moves, the also get help from the air as a carrier of the electricity. with Emil, he has to learn that he just can't coat himself in electricity, he has to learn how to make the air around him stabilize with the electricity."

The group of my students nodded but then I turned to see Delfi leaping above us with a Flamethrower behind her. I hit the ground and said "Hit the deck everyone!"

All the Pokemon and Dan went to the ground to avoid being hit with the attack. I stood up as Tony leapt above us in pursuit of Delfi. I chased the two of them while shouting "Everyone out of the way!"

As the fire/dark type chased the ice type, Flamethrowers and Ice Beams were returned resulting in most of the park turning into one big cold flaming mess. Ice bergs and flames were scattered around the park and when I saw Tony and Houndoom they were being battled.

Tony was battling a young girl with semi-squinted dark blue eyes, black hair and crème skin. She was wearing a grey shirt along with a pair of jeans. She was battling Tony with a Squirtle and she was clearly losing but she was still going strong.

"Squirtle Water Gun!"

The water type fired a torrent of water towards Tony who dodged it and said "Move girl, you're outmatched and I have to teach that pesky ice type a lesson."

The girl called another attack and said "No please stop! You're wrecking the area!"

Delfi on the other hand was battling an odd looking fellow with green hair and blue eyes. The guy was wearing black pants, blue shirt and a pair of green and silver sneakers.

The guy seemed to be using a Chimchar against Delfi and he said "Flame Wheel King!"

The Chimchar responded to the attack by rolling unto a ball of fire that was rolling towards Delfi but she was already prepared for this. She stood her ground and fired an Ice Beam that not only cancelled the attack but froze the Chimchar. The guy's eyes widened and said "Oh no! King return! Shade go!"

He returned his frozen Chimchar and threw a Pokeball revealing a battle ready Umbreon. Delfi rolled her eyes and said "Come on, let me go. I'll shot that stupid mutt about what Ice can do to fire."

The two trainers seemed to be trying to stop Tony and Delfi from fighting each other because it just results in more collateral damage. I was running to them but then Tony knocked the Squirtle out of the way and managed to get to Delfi, he started to glow a shade of red as he prepared his Overheat attack.

I ran as fast as I could and shouted "Tony! Delfi! You two better stop this nonsense now!"

Tony and Delfi looked at me as Tony calmed down and so did Delfi. The two trainers were stunned as the two Pokemon walked towards me while glaring at each other and I said "What happened now you two?"

The fire type growled "She called me a stupid mutt so I told her that fire always beats ice so she better back off."

"You are a stupid mutt!"

I glared at Delfi and said "Delfi a woman's poise."

She nodded as Tony said "The stupid girl then fired an Ice Beam at me and she froze my behind so I had to get her back boss."

I kneeled and patted both of their heads and said "I'm still very disappointed in you two. I know you argue but don't take it too far got it?"

"Sure boss."

"Yes Connor."

The two trainers approached me and the green haired guy said "So I'm guessing those two are yours? They're quite the strong."

I chuckled and then Dan, Animus and Liz ran towards me from the training site. Liz caught her breath and said "What happened? The park is covered in ice and flames."

Animus chuckled and then I said "Well Tony and Delfi got at it again."

Dan looked at the two trainers and said "I saw you guys help. I'm Dan and this is Liz, Jordan, Luke and Connor."

The girl smiled and said "I'm Raina Chang."

The guy said "Mark Styles."

FLASHBACK END

Mark was here to earn money for the orphanage back in his home region. I say he was pretty good while Raina on the other hand was from Cerulean City and she joined just for the fun of it.

The MC then said "The battle between Mark Styles and Raina Change will now begin! Each trainer will use one Pokemon!"

Mark threw a Pokeball and said "Come on Arrow!"

Out of the Pokeball came the basic form of the Unova native Pokemon. Raiana then said "We worked together before but this is different so Squirtle!"

The water type stood read while the MC said "Squirtle vs Pidove! Battle Begin!"

Mark flicked his green hair and said "Arrow let's start with Air Cutter!"

The flying type flapped its wings several times making several Air Slashes go towards the water type.

"Rapid Spin!"

The water type spun around and flew through the flying type attack unharmed and even delivering a powerful hit to the Pidove's body. The flying type got back up and Mark said "Good counter Raina, maybe we've trained together too much, Arrow Quick Attack!"

The flying type zoomed towards the Squirtle that just landed on the ground sending him a few feet back. Raina grinned and said "Maybe we did train together too much so let's make this battle fun, Squirtle Water Gun!"

The water type shot a surge of water towards the Flying type knocking it back as it floated in the air. The Pidove screeched in the air and charged in with Mark's commanded Aerial Ace.

Raina then said "Alright Mark, I don't wanna make you lose but Squirtle Water Gun!"

The Squirtle shot the Pidove out of the air as it closed in with an Aerial Ace and fell to the ground unable to battle. The MC then said "Pidove is unable to battle and the winner is Squirtle! That means Raina Chang will advance to the next round!"

The crowd cheered at the statement, Mark retrived his fallen Pidove, walked over to Raina and said "Well I lost today, nice work Raina."

The girl grinned completely proud of her victory. "Thanks Mark!"

The two of them went back to the box while all of their friends came congratulating Raina for a job well done and consoling Mark who seemed hardly fazed by his defeat.

The MC then said "Next us is the youngest Pallet Prince, Dan Ketchum going against Viridian City's Ben Banton!"

Dan walked over to me with his Pokemon by his side and said "I guess it's my turn Connor."

I pulled my shades down a bit and said "Good Luck Kiddo."

Dan rolled his eyes as he and Ben walked down the stairs with their Auras burning with determination.

Dan's POV

I waved Ben good luck as he went to the other side of the battlefield waiting to be called. I walked the gyms hallways trying to get to the washroom but as I was walking I saw Quincy walking towards me with her usual blank face.

"Hey" I said, "What you up to?"

She stopped walking and said "Hey Dan, I was on the way back to the waiting area. I heard your battle was next so as long as you're here, good luck."

"Thanks!"

She walked past me as the MC said "Ben Banton from Viridian City!"

I ran for the entrance to the battlefield with Luke running by my side and Jordan on my shoulder. I came across a fork in the hall and said "Uhhh any of you two remember where the way is?"

Jordan said "LEFT!"

Luke rolled his eyes and pointed right. I sighed and said "Great…"

I heard voices coming from the left so I decided to check it out. I crept with Luke and Jordan and I peeked around the corner and saw a tall pale skinned man with magenta colored hair speaking to that ass Ken.

Ken was just saying "Yes she's here, I have to get going. I gave you the information now give me what I want."

The magenta haired man adjusted the camera around his neck, chuckled a bit and said "Yes you will, she will be dealt with eventually as soon as I report back to them."

Ken crossed his arms and said "Who's them?"

"Getting curious are we?" the magenta haired man said, "Well then maybe I'll have to do something about you."

Ken got a terrified look in his eyes and then the man laughed a hard guffaw and said "Joking, joking. Now run along."

The jerk turned and walked away while I and my Pokemon stood there behind the corner. Luke then said "Master Dan, who were they talking about?"

"I don't know Luke." I said, "This is getting dangerous, we'll have to tell Connor and Liz about it."

Jordan was on the ground and he nodded along with us but then the first step we made gave a long creak on the ground. I heard the man say "I think someone is here. Ariados please find whoever it is and bring him or her to me."

I heard the tip tap of multiple feet as the magenta haired man walked away and when I turned no one was there but when I looked up there was a large Ariados snarling at me. Jordan and I screamed while Luke delivered a Fire Punch to its face that just got it annoyed, the three of us ran as fast as we could as I heard it running after us.

Jordan squeaked as he turned and saw the Ariados catching up with us quickly as it ran on the floor, walls and ceiling. I felt it catching up to us when I saw an Aqua colored Pokemon leap ahead of me and smash its flaming fist on the Ariaros' face. The bug type staggered and crawled away.

I turned and saw a guy wearing a black shirt with a blue bolt on it and he said "Toxicroak nice work."

Luke, Jordan and I looked at the Toxicroak and I saw that it was a shiny colored Toxicroak. The Pokemon repeatedly said its name as the poison sack on its throat grew and shrunk back. I face the man and said "You save my butt again."

Sky smiled and said "No problem, why were you being chased? Your battle is starting. They called you but you weren't there yet but your shaded friend asked for a couple more minutes so they skipped to the next match for now.

I sighed at the relief that I wasn't disqualified. "Hear that guys, we can still battle."

Jordan hopped excitedly on my shoulder and said "Pi! Pichu Pi Cha Chu Pi Chu Pi (Yes! If I see that creepy crawly again I'll wipe the floor with it)"

Luke groaned at Jordan's attitude considering he was screaming and squeaking like a baby when we were being chased. I turned to Sky and said "Do you know where the battlefield is?"

He turned and pointed to the corridor on the right and said "Straight through there Dan."

"Thanks!" I gleefully said, "Say that Toxicroak seems kind of familiar…"

Sky raised a brow and said "Nah, maybe it's just a coincidence."

I shrugged off the thought and said "I guess, well I'll be seeing you."

I dashed off not before I heard Sky mutter something about brother? No time to worry about that now, I wanted to see Parker and B's battle.

When I got to the battlefield I saw B and Parker were in the middle of their battle. Parker was using an Meditite that looked slightly damaged while B was using a Ekans.

"Koben Poision Sting"

"Send them back Meditite with Confusion and follow up with a Hi-Jump Kick!"

The psychic type repelled the poison type attack and sent it back to the serpent Pokemon who narrowly evaded the attack but was directly hit with the followed up Hi-Jump Kick.

The Ekans landed in front of B as it struggled to get back up. "Come on Koben, show them that hot blooded spirit!"

The Ekans got back up and lunged towards the Meditite with a Bite attack. "That's how you do it Koben!"

The fighting/psychic type was directly hit with the attack. Parker grinned and said "Meditite lets send him back with Confusion!"

The fighting/psychic type sent the Poison type back with the super effective attack. The Ekans slithered back up and B said "When it comes to persistence bro, nobody can match good old Koben. He keeps pulling me away from the girls I try to score with."

I sweat dropped at B's statement and then Parker said "Lucky you have someone like that. Meditite use Confusion!"

"Koben slither away and use Poison Tail!"

The snake Pokemon dodged the attack and quickly delivered a Poison Tail to the Meditite's side.

"Grab him Meditite and use Seismic Toss!"

The fighting/psychic type grabbed the glowing tail and leapt into the air. B's eyes widened and said "Try to escape Koben!"

The snakes struggled to get away but he was thrown down to the ground and left unable to battle. The MC then said "Looks like Parker's Meditite has defeated B's Ekans meaning Parker will advance to the semi-finals!"

Parker returned his Meditite and walked over to B who said "Nice work Koben, I'll get you a drink later."

B grinned at Parker and said "Nice work bro."

The grey streaked haired boy shook his opponents hand and said "You too. That was pretty fun."

B smiled and leaned a bit to the right and said "You better run."

Parker turned and saw Ness and Vanessa running towards him, he sprinted as fast as he could to escape his two friends. I went back to the box and was greeted by a worried Liz and a relieved Connor.

She tackled me a bit with a hug and said "Where have you been? We thought something happened to you!"

Animus chuckled a bit while Animus coughed in his hand. Liz let go with her face colored a shade of red and Connor said "Where have you been Kiddo? They were about to disqualify you until I went there and told them to skip first, of course your aunt agreed and Tucker sort of said something about waiting for a fabulous battle."

Ben ran up to me and said "Dude I thought you were wussing out! I know you'd never do that, now I get to have my rematch!"

Laughing nervously, I was approached by all my friends and was bombarded with questions from 'Where were you?' to 'Good Luck.'. Fortunately, as I was about to lose my mind with all the questions the MC said "Now the battle between the Pallet Prince Dan Ketchum and Viridian City's Ben Banton will now begin! Trainers please come down to the battlefield!"

My friends quickly let go of me and Connor grinned at me and said "Good Luck Kiddo."

Somehow all this seemed familiar but I shrugged off the thought as I walked down the stairs to the battlefield. The MC announced "Now the battle will begin and it will be a one on one battle to determine who will advance to the semis. Trainers choose your Pokemon!"

I grinned at my bug net carrying opponent and said "This battle should be awesome Ben, Luke its go time!"

My red Riolu ran on the field and went into fighting position as Ben grinned at me. "I haven't got the chance to battle that one, I think it was pretty strong since it stood against Terry's Mordferno so be prepared for this one, he came all the way from Unova. Escavalier come on out!"

Out of his Pokeball came a floating armored Pokemon that looked like those armored knights that joust on horses. On each arm was a large needle that looked like a lance for jousting. I took out my Pokedex and it said "Escavalier, the Cavalry Pokemon and the evolved form of Karrablast. Escavalier's body is protected by steel armor."

"Wow, Excavalier. Alright Luke, we need to be extra careful with this one but since it's a bug and steel type we may have an advantage."

"Escavalier vs Riolu! Battle Begin!"

Liz's POV

I was beside Connor again while Dan was down there battling that Ben kid. Everyone was also watching the battle intently as the two trainers looked at each other and waited for the other to call the attack.

I heard the MC say "Tucker since Misty had already given her insight on the battle, how's about you give yours?"

Tucker took the mike and said "These two trainers are good battlers form the reports so as Misty said, it is hard to say who would be the victor."

The crowd watched as Ben made the first move. "Escavalier use Fury Attack!"

The Cavalry Pokemon charged towards the Emanation Pokemon with his needles ready. He repeatedly thrusted the weapons towards Luke but Dan said "Let's see where our training got you, Luke keep dodging it."

The red Riolu leaned left, right and ducked while dodging all of the bug/steel type's thrusts. Ben's eyes widened at the Riolu's speed and he said "Twinneedle!"

The Escavalier floated back quickly and put its needled together and flew towards the calm Luke. Dan grinned and said "Vault now!"

As soon as the bug/steel type came close, Luke leapt and grabbed the Escavalier's shoulder propelling him over the armored opponent. Connor chuckled with Animus and said "This battle is over; Luke is too powerful for the Escavalier, so I would expect Luke to win with one hit."

One hit? It seemed impossible because that thing was armored in steel and Luke looked like he was a bit lacking in the power department but usually Connor's observations were right so I just watched as Dan grinned and said "Fire Punch!"

The bug net wielding boy panicked and said "Escavalier use Iron Head!"

The Escavalier's head emitted a shade of faint white as it charged towards the Riolu who's fist was on fire. The two attacks collided and the two Pokemon were at a standstill. Luke's fist was no longer ablaze as it was resting on the Escavalier's head. Everyone was on their toes as the Escavaleir fell to the ground with a thud while Luke flicked his hand like a person would after the hit something as I

"Escavalier is unable to battle and the winner is Riolu! This means Dan Ketchum will advance to the semi-finals!"

The crowd erupted once again into cheers as Dan fist pumped at his victory. Luke walked over to Dan smiling for once completely satisfied with his one shot victory. Ben walked over to him and said "Arceus that guy is strong, no wonder he beat Terry's Modferno and if I want to stand a chance, I better train more. Congrats Dan, you better win this thing because I want to brag about me losing to the guy who won the entire thing."

I clasped his hand and said "Sure buddy."

Dan's POV

I was just jittering with joy as I went back up to the box with Ben, Jordan and Luke. I couldn't believe Luke got so strong; one hit knocked out Ben's Excavalier and got me the win I needed now all there was left to do is watch Liz's battle and make it to the finals.

Liz was next and I don't know if she would win or not, I'm also torn if I want her to win or not. If she won, I would have to battle her and I would hate to take her out of this tournament yet if she lost I would be sad that my best friend was knocked out of the tournament.

Ben patted me on the back as he went out of the room to get his Pokemon healed and the others approached me and pelted me with congratulations. B was ecstatic about my win, Artemis was chattering away on how good I was, Raina was glad and she said that she was excited to battle me if she had the chance, Mark just gave me a simple 'good job' while my two best friends Liz and Connor were the first ones to congratulate and greet me.

My teenage mentor removed his shades and said "Well I think that training we did actually worked wonders on Luke."

Luke was still having very uncharacteristic smile on his face while Jordan was congratulating him and saying that he still would have done a better job. Liz and I hi-fived each other and said "Nice work Grapehead, now it's my turn."

I was about to reply until the MC said "Now the final battle that will determine the final member of the semis will now begin! It will be Liz Carter going against Artemis Night!"

Artemis quickly ran down the stairs practically leaving her Oshawott behind and Liz nervously smiled at me and said "Well, it's just me left."

"Good Luck!"

Connor came behind us and said "Have fun Jeans! Mother always said that win or lose all that matters is the fun of the battle!"

My brunette friend laughed a bit as she turned and headed towards the battlefield. As soon as they were both in place the MC started to announce.

"The battle between Liz Carter and Artemis Night will now begin! Each trainer will use one Pokemon. Trainers choose your Pokemon!"

"Sara!"

"Shine Bright Pidgeotto!"

Two Pokemon appeared on the field ready for battle. One was a fairly sized bird that was floating on the field by flapping its wings, the other one was a small sharp toothed Pokemon. I recognized it as a Gible since one of my dad's top Pokemon is its fully evolved form, a Garchomp.

This little Pokemon was a pseudo-legendary Pokemon meaning it was very very rare and powerful. The MC said "It looks like Liz has chosen her Pidgeotto while Artemis has chosen a pseudo legendary Gible! What do you think of this battle? Misty? Tucker?"

Aunt Mist took the mike and said "I cannot predict what would happen here but the more likely chance for victory is Artmeis and her Gible considering that she is using a pseudo legendary."

Tucker then took the mike from her and said "We cannot tell the victor, advantages and rarity do not determine the winner but we just hope for an amazing battle between these two trainers."

The MC took back the mike and said "And with that, Batlle Begin!"

Liz took the initiative and said "Pidgeotto since she's a dragon type lets save those two special moves for later but first lets go with Aerial Ace!"

Pidgeotto did a flip in the air and charged towards the Gible like a arrow but then Artemis said "Were friends Liz, you know that girl so Rock Smash!"

The Gible's fist turned into a color of red and as Pidgeotto closed in the dragon/groung type smashed its fist of Pidgeotto's face making it turn in a different direction and crashing to the ground.

Liz's expression was shocked and Connor had his shades removed and his eyes were emerald green and he said "That little one has power alright, Liz needs to be careful unless she wants to lose so I bet she'll use those new moves now."

Those two moves? I guess Liz will use them and I hope they do some good. My brunette friend cheered as Pidgeotto got up and the MC said "That Gible turned her own move against her as the speed and power of the Pidgeotto was used to her itself instead of the Gible, what will Liz do now?"

Artemis clapped excitedly and said "Nice work Sara! Now follow up with Headbutt!"

The little dragon type leapt into the air and shot towards the Pidgeotto at a surprising pace but Liz kept her composure and said "Pidgeotto special move one!"

The MC then shouted "What is this folks? A special move? What can it be?"

The flying type floated there as Gible sped towards her but then she flapped her wings at a quick pace and screeched her name. A large storm erupted and people thought it was Gust but this attack was none other than the dragon type move Twister.

Everyone was jaw dropped and buggy eyed except Connor. He knew about this and he didn't tell me? Anyway, the attack caught the Gible off guard and sent her flying back to her trainer with massive damage because of the super effective attack.

The MC recovered from his shock and said "Amazing! A twister attack coming from a flying type like Pidgeotto!"

Artemis shrieked and said "Oh no! Sara get back up!"

The Gible recovered and immediately got back up. The crowd cheered and Liz said "Great! Let's follow up Pidgeotto, hit her with that move Emil taught you! Air Slash!"

The Pidgetto slashed her wings twice in the air and two crescent projectiles flew towards Gible who just stood there as he took the attack but what surprised eceryone was the Gible grinning at the Pidgeotto as she spun around causing a very large Sandstorm attack.

The MC then said "Gible has used Sanstorm to activate his ability Sand Veil to increase his speed to land a hit on Pidgeotto."

Artemis jumped for joy and commanded "Alright Sara nice work, follow up with Flamethrower!"

The Pidgeotto flew aimlessly around the storm while Liz said "Dodge it and clear it up with Twister!"

The flying type was hit with the fire type attack sending her tumbling in the air but she quickly recovered and cancelled the Sandstorm with another Dragon Type attack. The two storms disappeared and Artemis called "Sara Sandstorm again!"

The Gible spun around and send another storm towards Pidgeotto and Liz said "Twister!"

The two storms collided again and when it cleared the Gible was near the Pidgeotto with its mouth wide open and it crunched down on Pidgeotto's right wing. The flying type screeched in pain and then my denim wearing friend said "Shake her off!"

"Thunder Fang Sara!"

The Gible crunched down harder and shocked the Pidgetto causing them both to crash to the ground but Gible was still standing and Pidgetto was unable to battle.

The MC then said "Pidgeotto is unable to battle and the winner is Artemis Night!"

The Butterfree necklace wearing girl ran up to her Gible, picked her up and repeatedly jumped around saying "You did it! You did it! You did it!"

The crowd cheered as Liz returned her Pidgeotto and said "Good job Artemis, good luck on the next round alright."

She grinned and took her hand into a hand shake and Artemis lifted both their hands in the air as the two girls smiled as the crowd cheered louder. I clapped in the waiting area along with Connor who was shouting "Good show!"

The two of them went back to the waiting area and Artmeis was greeted with congratulations and well dones. I approached Liz who was completely fine with he rloss and said "You alright?"

She grinned at the both of us and said "Of course, one little loss inst going to stop Diana Elizabeth Veronica Carterina!"

Connor and I cocked our heads and said "Wait what?"

She laughed nervously as the MC said "After shuffling the names, the battles for the semi finals are now here. These battles are now going to be three on three."

The remaining four contenders me, Parker, Artemis and Raina looked at the screen intently as the results appeared on the big screen.
