Connor's POV

Well this was quite a shock, I didn't show it but I was pretty surprised. Everyone else was having their own reactions, Dan was grinning and his eyes were full of anticipation, Liz was covering her mouth in shock, B was leaning over the edge of the box and Seaerral was pulling his back to prevent him from falling.

The crowd went silent for about two seconds and they all erupted into cheering as Quincy smiled for once. Animus was slack jawed as he eyed his opponent who was gracefully moving around the field waiting for the go signal.

Quincy was smiling with her arms crossed and said "Well?"

"I have to admit, a fine Pokemon you have. Apparently Animus has a lot to say about her."

Animus' eye was twitching as the Pokemon went into fighting position; the Pokemon was looking very well trained and very powerful. The thing that caught my eye was the Pokemon's fur was gleaming Silver. In other words, Quincy's final Pokemon was a silver furred Lucario.

"Folks its Quincy's own shiny Lucario vs Connor's shiny Lucario! Its Gold vs Silver! Lucario vs Lucario! Battle Begin!"

"Amelia introduce yourself to Animus with a good old Wake-Up Slap!"

"Animus dodge and use Blaze Kick!"

The silver Lucario sped towards Animus and gave him a good slap to the face since Animus reacted a tad bit too late. Animus groaned as he got back up and growled as he went into fighting position.

"Lovely," I said, "Now Animus I know you don't want to hit a lady but this is a battle so Extreme Speed with Bone Rush!"

Animus disappeared and re-appeared in front of the silver Lucario and delivered three hits to her body and two hits to her legs but then Quincy said "Amelia use Fire Punch!"

"Catch it with Ice Punch!"

Animus had caught Amelia's fist with his palm by coating it in ice and now I said "Top notch Animus, Circle Throw!"

Animus held her arm tighter and twisted it as he lie on his back and threw her over his head making her fly back a few feet. Animus got up and growled at her as she growled back.

"Amelia Close Combat!"

"Dodge it all Animus and then use Blaze Kick!"

Amelia threw punches and kicks towards Animus but my golden colored friend just smirked and evaded all her attacks and crouched under her after dodging another punch and delivered a hot kick to the jaw sending her to the air like he did with Leo but now we weren't done so Animus leapt after her in the air and I said "Seismic Toss!"

He held onto her in mid-air as he spiraled down to the ground crashed her to the floor. Animus recovered and did several back flips as he went back to me. Quincy called for her Pokemon and the fallen Pokemon stood and went back into fighting position.

I wrinkled my nose and I said "She's got spirit I'll give her that. Most Pokemon don't get back up after that combo."

"You'll be surprised about what she can do." Said Quincy after encouraging Amelia on,

"Alright, battle on then, Animus Bullet Punch!"

"Counter Amelia with Low Sweep!"

Animus rushed forward with his fist ready but Amelia ran to him and slid down, aiming for his legs but as Animus leapt over her, I realized it was a trap.

"Nice work, Blaze Kick!" said Quincy,

Amelia smirked as she delivered a kick to Animus stomach, making him stagger back a bit as he clutched his gut. He growled and went back into fighting position and ran forward with his fists clenched and he delivered some hits to the silver Lucario but she returned them in kind but Animus gave some harsh damage to her.

Quincy then said "Amelia make some room and use Aura Sphere!"

"You as well Animus!"

The two Pokemon broke away from their lock in combat and made some room as they charged a powerful sphere of energy in their hands. Animus roared a she threw his Golden Aura Sphere towards Amelia's Silver Aura Sphere. The two attacks collided and a big explosion shook the arena but the two Pokemon seemed unfazed.

I peeked a bit into Animus' thoughts and I heard him say "You don't seem too bad don't you Sparkles."

"Keep talking Shiny, keep talking." The silver Lucario replied,

The MC then said "These two look equally matched! What an epic battle!"

I grinned and said "Animus next combo! Use Double Team and then use Extreme Speed to go around her!"

Animus split himself into six figures and proceeded to dash around Amelia hoping to confuse her and then Quincy said "You know how to deal with this Amelia! Force Palm on the ground!"

The silver Lucario didn't mind the figures circling her and she placed her palm on the ground and then a large crater appeared on where she was standing and all the copies of Animus vanished but the original was nowhere to be seen.

Quincy growled a bit and said "You're pretty good at sneaking your Pokemon Shades."

"Yep. Giga Impact!"

From above us, Animus was there and he crashed into Amelia causing her to crash right in front on Quincy who was surprised by Animus' speed. Animus swiped his hand in the air and reverted into fighting position with his 'Come On' gesture.

"Come on Amelia! Get up!"

Sure enough, the silver Lucario got back up and roared its name towards Animus who just huffed and stretched his neck a bit. I smiled and said "Tough lady huh? Animus get in close with Extreme Speed and then use Metal Claw!"

Anims smirked as he vanished and reappeared again and again around Amelia after landing about three hits each. This was why Animus was my top Pokemon, his speed is a whole other level and he's pretty strong too.

Amelia got down on one knee as she nearly gave in to her fatigue but then Quincy said "Hold on! When he comes close use that move!"

Amelia looked up as Animus was about to strike her and she winked at him sending a few hearts in his direction and he was hit by the attack. "Perfect." I said, "Hey, this is the 1st tome Attract worked on Animus."

"Folks it looks like Connor's Lucario has been caught in the spell of Attract by Quincy's Lucario."

I face palmed as Animus starred at the Silver Lucario with his eyes shaped as hearts and he howled as he looked at her and Quincy said "Nice! Close Combat!"

Animus was relentlessly beat up by Amelia after delivering hit after hit of powerful punches and kicks and my partner wasn't even trying to defend himself. As soon as Animus looked weakened enough, Quincy then said "Finish him off with Blaze Kick!"

I covered my eyes and said "Oh no…" as Amelia leapt and did a spin in the air as she set her foot ablaze and she gave a wink towards Animus before kicking him in the face making him land in front of me unable to battle.

"Connor's Lucario goes down meaning Quincy wins and she will be advancing to the finals!"

I could only chuckle a bit as Animus regain consciousness and he said "Hey what happened?"

"We lost my friend."

"What! I never lose!"

"Say that to your Lady friend Goldie."

Animus turned and saw Quincy waving at the crowd with a smug smile on her face as her silver furred Lucario waved to the crowd as well. Animus' face turned into a scowl as he verbally said "Rargh! Rrargh Rah! (Hey you! That was a cheap shot!)

The silver Lucario just looked at him and stuck her tongue out to annoy Animus but this time I put a hand on his shoulder as we walked towards Quincy. I put my shades back on as I smirked at her and said "Well, you did mention surprises. Anyway, nice job on winning but if you hadn't used Attract, I would have won."

"Exactly," she said, at least she admits is. "Attract is a legal move so I still win."

I shrugged and said "Anyway, losing doesn't bother me much if it involves someone I respect. So good luck against your next opponent Stonecold."

With that I removed my shades and winked at her as she turned away but not fast enough for me to see a small tint of red on her face. I held in to Animus' shoulder tightly to prevent him from starting a rematch against Amelia. He could accept honorable defeat but this was quite out of his comfort zone so I expect him to not talk to anyone for a while.

When I got up to the waiting area with Animus beside me and with Quincy and her Lucario behind me, Dan and Liz immediately approached me and started to console me for my loss but I wasn't really bothered, since this was my 1st year for a league, I don't expect to win it all anyway.

Dan patted Animus' back and said "Don't worry man, you'll win next time."

He shrugged off his hand and stormed towards Dan and Liz' Pokemon who were out of their Pokeballs and were out in the room for some air. I let him go since he needed to breathe after this loss. In our ten years together, Animus' last defeat is when we were training with our Master; Animus hasn't lost a battle since until today.

It would be a ten minute interval for the next match so as Dan and Liz started to question me, I sat on a chair, covered my eyes with my shades to look like I was looking and I dozed off.

Jordan's POV

POKESPEECH TRANSLATOR: ON

Animus had lost?! THE Animus? The same Animus who was our partial mentor in training? The same Animus who was Connor's top Pokemon? That Animus?

I just witnessed his defeat in that battle thanks to that silver Lucario but that wasn't anywhere fair! I mean, his moves were so awesome and well placed while that girl just won by using Attract!

As Animus stormed off towards the others, I leapt off Dan's shoulder and followed him along with Luke who was following him as well. When we got to the group, Animus was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, arms crossed and eyes closed. He seemed to have a scowl on his face and he was muttering about how his defeat was unhonorable and cheap. Everyone of us eyed him as he kept muttering to himself but when he opened one of his eyes, he saw all of us starring at him and he growled "What are you all looking at!?"

All of us were startled by this since he was usually so calm and reserved and he was never angry. Losing to a cheap shot like that may have been a hard blow to him and his pride but Connor seemed fine.

I glanced and eye towards Connor who was sitting on a seat with his shades on as Dan and Liz argued about something and he seemed to be…never mind, he was asleep. I sighed at this since Connor just shrugged off his defeat like nothing while I was moping about mine for a couple of days and now his partner was here growling at all of us.

Animus' angry expression then turned soft as he said "I-I'm sorry, all of you. I'm just a bit shaken up by that last battle. I shouldn't have snapped at you all."

Luke patted his back and said "It's okay Master, we all feel your depression with defeat."

I shook my head as I sat down because Luke keeps calling Animus Master since he was the one who trains him with his Aura and his combat skills so he grew to calling him master. Hannah took a step forward and said "E-Everyone l-losses e-every o-once i-in a w-while."

Animus rubbed his face with his paws and said "I know younglings but I would have won if not for that silver furred witch using Attract on me, that's blasted move never works on me, my own master taught me to resist that."

I had to admit and so did everyone else that it was a cheap move but it still caused him to lose and a loss is a loss. Luke then said "Master, if I may, maybe this time the Attract worked because you see her as a possible candidate to be your mate?"

Wow, Luke was just so blunt sometimes. Hannah, Pidgeotto, Eevee and Clefairy blushed a bit and covered their faces while Emil, Matt and Squirtle laughed so hard that they were now rolling on the ground. Animus looked at his student as his eye twitched and he put one paw on my head and another on Luke's as he said "No, never would I ever see anyone who battles dishonorably as a possible candidate for a mate."

I rolled my eyes as Clefairy then said "So what happens now?"

A feminine voice from behind us then said "Me and my trainer advance to the finals but first we see who we'll battle next."

We all turned our gazes to the source of the voice and saw that it was the silver furred Lucario that beat Animus. Animus gave a low growl but he contained his anger, I stood up from where I sat and said "Hi! I'm Jordan."

The silver Lucario stroked the fur on her arm and said "Hello little one, my name is Amelia."

I swear I felt my eye twitch; did she call me little one because I was small or because I was young? I never took being called little very well anyway. Everyone greeted back in reply except Luke who was just sitting beside Animus and Animus who was just glaring at her.

Amelia then sat down with us and said "Hello again Shiny."

Every single one us watched intently as Animus growled and said "What do you want?"

She shrugged in her seat and said "Nothing, I'm just here to get to know you a bit better since I know you and I are kind of alike, and who is this little one," She said pointing at Luke who was holding his feet as he sat down, "Is he your offspring?"

All of us burst into laughter as Animus violently shook his head along with Luke who said "Excuse me Miss Amelia, I'm only his student and he is my master."

The female Lucario then nodded apprehensively as Animus turned away from her as he growled and muttered under his breath. The silver Lucario then looked at Hannah and said "What's wrong with him?"

Hannah glanced an eye at Animus and said "W-Well, h-he s-seems k-kind o-of-"

Hannah really needed to lose her stutter but Luke interrupted and said "Master seems to be upset with his defeat actually."

She crossed her arms and huffed as she said "Why does he have to be upset and act like a child. All I did was battle and win fair and square."

Animus shot up from his sitting position and growled "Fair and square?! You call using Attract fair and square?! If you didn't use that blasted move I would have won! If we went on now I would win!"

Amelia then got up and growled back "Hey! It's a fair move! Even if you dodged it I still would have won."

The golden Lucario edged closer and said "You have yet to see what I can fully do."

"As do I." replied the silver Lucario,

Everyone's eyes darted back and forth like they were watching a tennis match as Animus and Amelia threw insults and complaints back at each other. I sighed as the argument continued but then I guess both of them had enough and a golden sphere appeared in Animus' palm and a silver sphere appeared in Amelia's palm. Both Lucarios growled menacingly as the readied their attacks but then two voices from behind us said "Amelia stop! Animus drop this nonsense!"

We all turned to see Quincy, Connor, Dan and Liz running towards us. Both Lucarios took a menacing step forward but Connor moved faster than any human I've ever seen and put a hand on each of their shoulders to calm them down. He glared at each of them with his ruby red eyes and said "Animus, I expected better from you. And you Amelia, I barely know you but I can feel that you are better than this."

The Aura Spheres in their palms disappeared as they sighed and turned away from each other. Quincy took Amelia to her side and said "Come on Amelia, back in your ball."

She returned her silver Lucario into her Pokeball as Connor said "My friend please take some time to cool down first. I'll speak with you later."

Animus had his arms crossed and he huffed in annoyance as Connor put him back in his ball. Quincy sighed and said "Control you Pokemon won't you Shades."

"Me?" he stated, "For all I know your Lucario started the commotion!"

And after the Pokemon argue, their trainers come next, just perfect. Dan chuckled nervously and said "Guys calm down. Seaerral and Sky's match is starting, let's go catch a view."

Ooh, this I wanted to see. That Sky guy was really good and I want to see Seaerral's Luxray again. Dan and Liz returned all of us except Luke, Eevee and me, of course, and we all went to the edge of the box to watch the match. B was already there and said "Hey guys! Connor! Bro! Sorry for your loss man but win some you lose some, am I right?"

Connor gave a slight chuckle and said "Yeah, well is the match about to begin?"

"Yeah! CC better win this thing!"

All of us laughed, except Quincy and Luke of course, as we turned to the field and the MC said "The battle between the Blue Streak, Seaerral Meetafor and the Blue Bolt, Sky Larrison will now begin! Each trainer will use three Pokemon! Trainers choose your Pokemon!"

I was practically jumping with excitement on Dan's shoulder as Seaerral said "Luxray Come On!"

Out of her Pokeball appeared came out a large black furred Pokemon that roared its name in the air as sparks of electricity appeared on its fur. B cheered loudly as I became more excited and the MC said "Seaerral starts with her Luxray! Who will this mysterious trainer choose?"

Sky picked a Pokeball from his belt, ran his hand through his black and lightning blue hair and he threw his Pokeball nonchalantly as he said "Leafeon Engage!"

Out of his Pokeball appeared a well trained looking Leafeon but this Leafeon was not like most of its kind. This Leafeon's supposedly leaf green leaves were pink like Sakura Tree Flower Petals and her skin was pale. The grass type glared at the Luxray and went down into pouncing position as the MC said "Another shiny Pokemon from Sky! He has been very swift in battles and he isn't now called the Blue Bolt for nothing. Leafeon vs Luxray! Battle Begin!"

"Luxray use Fire Fang!"

"Leafeon Mud-Slap!"

The Luxray charged forward with its fangs set ablaze but the shiny Leafeon slapped the dirt on the ground towards the charging Luxray's eyes and blinding her in the process resulting in the Leafeon easily dodging the attack.

"Leafeon use Razor Leaf!"

The Leafeon swung the leaf on its head and sent pink, razor-sharp leaves flying towards the Luxray who was struggling with her clouded vision as the Pokemon tried to rub the mud out of her eyes. The Luxray was hit by the grass type attack and she was sent crashing to the ground with some major injuries.

Liz gasped along with Eevee while Dan yelled in surprise and Luke's eyes widened as Luxray struggled to get up. Connor had his shades on as he watched the match without showing any kind of reaction and Quincy was just looking very concerned with the wounded Luxray.

I was now cheering loudly along with B for Luxray to get back up and my fellow electric type roared and got back up. The crowd cheered as Leafeon mewled and yawned, Sky gave a small applause and said "Funny, I thought that one hit would do it. It looks like your Luxray has more spirit in her than I thought."

Seaerral wrinkled her nose and said "You got that right! Luxray Flame Charge!"

The electric type growled and charged towards Leafeon who was back in battle ready position as she charged with her body coated in flames. Sky just kept his straight face and said "Grass Whistle Leafeon."

As the Luxray charged, Leafeon gave out a high pitched sound that made Eevee fall asleep on Liz's lap while I was starting to get a bit drowsy but Luke just shrugged as if he didn't hear anything. The Luxray's fierce expression turned from determined to sleepy as she fell asleep and crashed right in front of Leafeon right before she landed her attack.

Everyone gasped as Seaerral said "No! Luxray wake up!"

"Shadow Ball"

The Leafeon fired a black sphere of energy towards the sleeping Luxray and the attack connected making a small explosion causing Luxray to land before Seaerral with swirls in her eyes.

"Luxray is unable to battle and the winner is Leafeon!"

"Dang that Leafeon is strong!" shouted B who was now nearly falling off the edge but Connor grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back,

Seaerral gave a small smile and said "Nice work Luxray, you deserve a good rest. Wow Sky, you really are something. Emboar Come On!"

Out of her Pokeball came a large, bulky pig Pokemon that roared as flames burst out of her neck area. Sky raised a brow as the MC said "Its Leafeon vs Emboar! Battle Begin!"

"Emboar use Flamethrower!"

"Leafeon dodge and use Shadow Claw!"

The mega fire pig shot a torrent of red hot flames from her mouth towards the Leafeonn who dodged the attack and leapt towards Emboar with her left claw having a glow of sickly shade of purple.

"Hammer Arm!"

That Emboar may have been faster than I must have guessed since before Leafeon landed her hit, the fire type swung its arm and swatted Leafeon to the wall. The shiny grass type growled as Seaerral said "Chain with Fire Blast!"

The fire type shot a powerful blast of red flames towards the fallen grass type who was directly hit and engulfed with the attack. The grass type yelled in pain but when the flames cleared, the grass type was still standing and she now growled as Sky said "That Emboar looks faster than it looks; I was careless but now, Leafeon use Petal Dance!"

The Leafeon leapt and spun in the air as a vast amount of pink petals appeared and flew towards Emboar but the fire type huffed as Seaerral said "Not going to work! Flamethrower!"

The fire type burned through all the petals with the torrent of fire as the crowd cheered but when all the petals were gone, Sky chuckled and said "Well, you got me. The Petal Dance would never hit but it wasn't meant to hit you, it was meant for camouflage."

I scanned the field along with Dan and he then said "There!"

All of our eyes turned to where he was pointing and there was a hole on the ground, Connor nodded apprehensively and said "Nice plan actually, since the petals in Petal Dance look quite like the ones on her head and tail so that was probably a well thought of plan."

Sky smirked at Seaerral's shocked face and said "That's right, Leafeon is underground so Magical Leaf!"

Out of the ground appeared four glowing leaves and they hit Emboar dead on, completely dazing the fire type but Seaerral then countered "Flame Pledge from where the leaves came from!"

The fire type got up and ran to where the attack came from and she smashed her fist on the ground causing the area to be surrounded by three columns of flames that expanded and caused a large hole to appear but when the hole was cleared of fire, the grass type wasn't there and Sky just smiled wider and said "Another diversion, I'm sorry. Giga Impact!"

From behind the fire type, the ground shook and the shiny grass type shot out of the ground as she was surrounded with a white and violet aura. The grass type smashed into the fire type with the powerful attack causing the mega fire pig to crash forward with swirls in its eyes.

"Emboar is unable to battle! The winner is Leafeon! Sky has managed to emerge victorious once again! Who will the Blue Streak's final Pokemon be and who will emerge the victor?"

Seaerral sighed as she returned her fallen Pokemon and said "Great job Emboar, you battled well. That Leafeon is one tough cookie alright but I hope this one can finish it, Zoroark Come On!"

Out of her Pokeball appeared a tall humanoid Pokemon that had black fur but the thick stream of fur on its back was red and it had a pair of nasty sharp claws.

"A good last effort," Sky said, "Let's see how this plays out."

"Seaerral's final Pokemon is Zoroark! Who will emerge the victor?v Zoroark vs Leafeon! Battle Begin!"

"Leafeon X-Scissor!"

"Zoroark evade and use Night Slash!"

The Leafeon's pink leaf on her tail started to glow a bright shade of blue as she ran towards the Zoroark but the dark type ducked to evade the attack as he slashed upwards landing a hit on Leafeon while successfully dodging the attack. The Lefeon growled as Skylar said "Oooooh this one's different. Leafeon Energy Ball!"

The shiny grass type formed a green sphere of energy in her mouth and fired it towards the Zoroark but then Seaerral said "Cut through it with Night Slash and chain with Flamethrower!"

As the Energy Ball came closer, the dark type charged towards it with his right claw glowing pitch black and when the grass type attack was close enough, the dark type slashed through it causing a explosion and a cloud of smoke to appear but then the Zoroark surprisingly made it and leapt over the smoke and fired a torrent of red hot flames at the unsuspecting Leafeon who was directly hit with the attack.

Sky then scowled as he said "Damn it, Leafeon is tiring but we need to keep going. Leafeon Magical Leaf!"

The Leafeon swung the leaf on her head as she recovered and two glowing leaves flew towards the Zoroark but the dark type was too slow to dodge it was directly hit with the grass type attack but Sky wasn't done and he said "Good hit Leafeon, Petal Dance and Leaf Storm!"

That would be a very powerful combination of attacks but then Seaerral said "Quick! Sucker Punch!"

The Leafeon howled and she was surrounded by a cyclone of green leaves and a slow gentle tornado of pink petals but before the Leafeon could launch the combined attacks, the Zoroark vanished and he suddenly reappeared in front of the Leafeon and smirked a bit as his glowing fist crashed into her body causing her to fly back.

Seaerral cheered along with the crowd, B, Dan and Liz as Zoroark did two backflips and landed in front of his trainer. The Leafeon got back up and Sky said "Good move, Leafeon wait for my command."

"Not gonna attack?" said Seaerral, "Well then I guess I'll have to take the initiative, Night Slash!"

The dark type sprinted towards the waiting grass type with his claw glowing black but then Sky smirked and said "Grass Knot and Sunny Day."

The Zoroark suddenly tripped because of a small patch of grass appearing and wrapping around his left leg as he ran causing him to trip and fall down to the ground as the Leafeon howled and it suddenly got hotter. Seaerral was frantic as she said "No Zoroark! Get up!"

"Solarbeam"

The Leafeon raised her head as the sun's energy formed into her mouth and she fired it in one concentrated beam towards the Zoroark who had just cut himself free from the grass vines. The crowd went silent and when the attack was over, Zoroark was on one knee as he smirked and Seaerral cheered and said "Yes! Zoroark use Foul Play!"

The Zoroark winced a bit as he stood up and surrounded himself in black energy as a black beam fired towards Leafeon who was too shocked to move, the shiny grass type flew back and fell to the ground unable to battle.

"Amazing! Leafeon is unable to battle and the wi-"

Suddenly Zoroark fell down unable to battle as well while everyone gasped. Seaerral looked shocked while Sky just nodded. The Mc then said "No it looks like we have a double knockout! Sky still as two remaining Pokemon meaning he will advance to the finals against the Shaymin's Flower of Hoenn!"

Sky returned his Leafeon and said "Quite a surprise Leafeon but still nice work."

He approached Seaerral who returned her Zoroark and said "At least we took one of them down, good job Zoroark."

Sky shook her hand and said "It's been a while since anyone beat Leafeon, I commend your battling skills."

She laughed nervously and said "Well thanks I guess, good luck against Quincy."

He nodded as he went with her to Nurse Joy to have her Pokemon healed. After a rather uneventful five minute break, the final battle between Sky and Quincy was about to begin.

Dan's POV

This was going to be an intense battle; Sky and Quincy were going to face off against each other for the position on number one. Connor was abnormally silent as me, Liz, Eevee, Luke and Jordan watched along with Seaerral, who seemed to be pretty relaxed about her defeat like Connor and B who was cheering for either side once more.

Sky grinned at her and said "Quincy, Shannon, Gracedia. We meet again on the field of battle. Nice work with training my old Beldum and they name quite fits."

She smirked and said "It's been a while Larrison, how's my Lunatone?"

"It has been a while hasn't it? Around two years? Anyway I assure you, your Lunatone is in peak condition."

I raised a brow while B, Seaerral, Liz and Connor looked a bit shocked. Did they know each other? Not like I care or anything, a lot has been going on that I absolutely have no idea about.

She nodded and said "Let's give them a good show alright?"

"Sure but if you expect to win like what you did to Connor, you're out of luck."

"Don't count on it."

The MC then said "The final battle between the Blue Bolt Sky Larrison and the Shaymin's Flower of Hoenn, Quincy Gracedia will now begin! Each trainer will use three Pokemon! Trainers choose your Pokemon!"

"Hope you remember this one, Absol Engage!"

"Call of the Heavy Metal Dex!"

Out of Sky's Pokeball appeared yet again another shiny Pokemon. This Absol's supposed white fur was brilliant black while its black skin was snow white along with its horns and tail. Out of Quincy's Pokeball appeared her often seen Metang, it floated on the field while the Absol purred a bit as it eyed its opponent.

Liz squealed and said "Oh my gosh! That Absol looks absolutely gorgeous!"

Connor laughed nervously as he was given a weird look by B and Seaerral probably wondering if Connor somehow influenced Liz with a secret obsession with good looking Pokemon but then again, Liz was Liz.

"Sky has once again brought out a shiny Pokemon while Quincy has her Metang out once again! Who will emerge the victor? Absol vs Metang! Battle Begin!"

"Dex Take Down!"

"Night Slash and then Flamethrower!"

The steel/psychic type shot towards Absol like a rocket but then the Absol slashed the blade on its head making a black ark of energy hit Metang in the face causing hit to close his eyes and not see the Absol leap in the air but then Quincy said "Dodge Dex!"

The Metang reacted too late as the shiny Absol landed the fire type attack square on the top of its head causing some serious damage. The Metang got back up as Sky said "You see, when we battled two years ago, I realized that someone nearly beat me and that was you so I had to train even harder than before to make us stronger isn't that right Absol?"

The Absol roared her name as Quincy said "You're right, that Absol had gotten way stronger than it was two years ago but so did Dex. Miracle Eye!"

The Metang got a gleam in its eye as the Absol took this as an opening and Sky said "I saw your match with that princess. It won't work on me, hurry Absol, Fire Blast before she finishes!"

As Metang's eyes glowed blue, the Absol shot a powerful blast of fire towards the Metang who was directly hit with the blunt of the attack but then Quincy said "Yes! It worked! Dex use Psychic to hold her in place and use Meteor Mash!"

The Metang readied the attack but then Sky said "You should thank my earlier opponent for this one, Sucker Punch!"

As the Metang's eyes glowed, the Absol disappeared and landed a dark claw to the face of the steel/psychic type causing the attack to be cancelled. Wow, Sky really thought fast, he made a backup plan as fast as he attacked.

Quincy grit her teeth and said "Dex use Zen Take Down!"

Sky just grinned and said "Swords Dance"

The Absol glowed a shade of red as she took the attack head on but she got back up as Sky said "Nice job, Foul Play" he said with a smirk,

Connor took off his shades and said "He is unstoppable, he increased his attack stat after taking a powerful hit and used an attack that would double the power in return, and truly he must be very experienced to be this good."

"Agility Absol!"

"Stop them with Earthquake!"

The steel/psychic type slammed his claw on the ground causing the ground to shake violently as the Absol increased her speed status. Sky just chuckled and said "Again"

The Absol kept running faster this time but when Quincy was about to call an attack, he smirked and said "Let's make this interesting. Make a wish, Baton Pass!"

Quincy's eyes widened as the Absol got returned into her ball and everybody held their breath as another ball snapped open and a large figure appeared on the field. Sky shook his head and said "I guess your luck has completely run out today. Welcome back to the field my beloved starter."

Everyone gaped as Sky's shiny Charizard appeared on the field and roared causing the ground to shake violently. We've all seen what this monster did to Vincent's Charizard and this one was very powerful.

"Folks, it looks like Baton Pass has brought out Sky's starter, his Shiny Charizard! How will Quincy hold out?"

Quincy growled a bit in frustration and said "Dammit a fire type, Dex use Rock Tomb!"

The steel/psychic type formed a large rock above its head and launched it towards Charizard but Sky just waved his hand dismissively and said "Head Smash"

The Charizard flew into the air and roared as he smashed the giant boulder with his head. The crowd was silent with shock with its power and he said "Flare Blitz"

The shiny Charizard covered itself in a coat of blue flames as he crashed on the steel/psychic type rendering him unable to battle. The MC then said "Metang in unable to battle and the winner is Charizard!"

The fire type roared once again as Quincy returned her fallen Pokemon and said "Nice job Dex, we didn't expect him to use his Charizard."

Sky chuckled and said "Return for now Charizard, let's give her a chance shall we?"

She smirked at him and said "That was one powerful Charizard."

He shrugged and said "Been with me since the beginning, so I'll go first. Scizor Engage!"

"Call of the sun Stella!"

Out of Sky's Pokeball came out, guess what? Another shiny Pokemon; this time it was a Scizor but instead of this Scizor having red skin, it had dark blue skin. Its skin gleamed in the light and it buzzed as it went into fighting position. Out of Quincy's Pokeball came out a regular looking Charizard.

Connor huffed and said "Hey look at that."

"What?" Liz said,

"Yeah what?" said B and Seaerral,

"That Charizard looks a bit small don't you think? If I were to guess I'd say it was still pretty young."

We all looked and yeah it did kind of look small, the Charizard was smaller than Vincent's and really smaller compared to Sky's. It roared as the Scizor cracked his neck a bit and pointed one of its claws towards her.

"Sky has chosen yet again another Shiny Pokemon, it looks like Quincy has got a double advantage with her own Charizrd, how will Larrison hold up? Scizor vs Charizard! Battle Begin!

"Scizor Extreme Speed and then chain with Crush Claw!"

"Flamethrower around the field Stella!"

The Scizor disappeared and as the Charizard was about to blast the flames around the field but when the Charizard released a torrent of red hot flames, the Scizor seemed to have gotten hit and he flew back as he landed in front of his trainer.

Sky raised a brow and said "That Charizard is fast."

"Of course," Quincy said, "She's pretty young and since she's small, her speed is pretty high."

"She may be fast but Scizor is faster, Extreme Speed and Agility."

The bug/steel type crouched and disappeared from sight as the Charizard eyed the arena while Quincy said "Watch out Stella, get ready and use Heat Wave!"

The Charizard flapped her wings and a red wave of energy surrounded the arena but suddenly from above Charizard, the Scizor appeared and then Sky said "Only way to dodge a area attack, get above it. Crush Claw!"

The Scizor smashed his claw onto the fire type's head making her stagger back and the Sky said "Back to back! Night Slash and Crush Claw!"

The Scizor appeared and disappeared the way Animus did but at a bit slower pace and smashed, slashed and hacked at the female Charizard's body causing her to weaken with each swipe and then Sky said "Excellent, make some room and use Razor Wind!"

The Scizor vanished once again as the Charizard staggered back and the bug Pokemon reappeared a few feet away and swiped his claw in the air making a white crescent of energy fly towards the fire type making her fall down to the ground.

"After Scizor's insane flurry of attacks Charizard has fallen! Will she get back up?"

"Come on Stella! You can still do it!"

The Charizard roared as she got back up and Sky said "Job well done, Scizor."

The bug/steel type nodded as he pointed his blue claw at the roaring Charizard and Sky said "Okay, I know you're getting a bit tired with this so Hyper Beam!"

The Scizor pointed both claws towards Charizard but then the Charizard started to glow a shade of red. Quincy smiled and said "Blaze has been activated! Hurry Stella! Overheat!"

The Charizard fired a powerful torrent of white hot flames towards the Scizor as he fired two orange beams from both claws. The two attacks connected and both attacks struggled for dominance but then the Charizard's attack suddenly got stronger and managed to overpower Scizor's causing the bug/steel type to be engulfed in the powerful attack.

"No Scizor!"

The Scizor fell to the ground but it shakily got back up as he glowed a shade of green and Sky said "You're not the only one with a boost! Since Swarm has been activated, hurry Scizor! Extreme Speed and Silver Wind along with Crush Claw!"

The Scizor vanished as Charizard was hit from all directions with silver arcs of energy and when Charizard fell to the ground, Scizor reappeared on top of it and smashed its claw on Charizards stomach causing her to roar in pain and collapse.

"Charizard is unable to battle and the winner is Scizor! Who will Quincy's final Pokemon be?"

She returned her Charizard and said "Nice work Stella, that was a tough match even with the advantage."

Sky nodded towards Scizor who nodded back and went into fighting position once again. Quincy smiled and said "Once again, really tough Pokemon. Hopefully this one can do some damage, Call of the Nature Leo!"

Out of Quincy's Pokeball came out her final Pokemon, her starter, a powerful looking Sceptile that stood tall and went into fighting position as the Scizor pointed one of his claws at him.

"Quincy's final Pokemon is Sceptile! How will Sceptile handle Absol, Scizor and Charizard? Scizor vs Sceptile! Battle Begin!"

"Scizor use Flash Cannon"

"Dodge and use Leaf Blade"

The Scizor fired a white beam of energy towards Leo but the grass type quickly evaded the attack and made his way to land a hit on Scizor but the Scizor was agile as well and quickly dodged his Leaf Blade swipe.

"Rapid fire Flash Cannon!" said Sky,

"Move Leo!"

The Scizor quickly zoomed around the field while firing Flash Cannons towards the Sceptile but the grass type kept evading each and every one of them and when the Sceptile got close enough, Quincy said "Leaf Blade!"

The Sceptile swiped his Leaf Blade towards Scizor but the bug type caught the attack by intercepting it with his claw and the Sky said "Attack Scizor! Night Slash and Crush Claw!"

"Counter Leo! Leaf Blade!" Said Quincy,

The two Pokemon exchanged swipes and slashes of their attacks and after several more hits, Scizor slashed down with his Night Slash but then Leo causght it with his Leaf Blade causing a struggle between the two. Scizor growled as he pointed one of his claws towards Sceptile and Sky said "Now Scizor, Silver Wind and Hyper Beam!"

The Scizor yelled as multiple arcs of energy sent the Sceptile in the air and quickly following it up with a high accuracy Hyper Beam from each claw blasting Leo from the air.

"No Leo!"

The Sceptile crashed on the ground and once again got up and Skry well, it seems stubborn so I'll have to teach this one to stay down. Scizor use Baton Pass"

The Scizor was then returned into his ball as another one snapped open and released Sky's shiny Charizard into the field. The Kanto starter roared as Leo glared at it with his eyes full of determination.

"Baton Pass has called out Sky's Charizard once again! Its Starter vs Starter! Could this be the end for Sceptile and Quincy?"

Quincy grit her teeth and said "Leo, this is dangerous. He absolutely destroyed Dex, we can stop now. I don't want you to get hurt."

The Sceptile smiled at her and shook his head as Quincy sighed and said "Okay Leo, use Quick Attack!"

The Scpetile shot towards the shiny Charizard as Sky said "What are you planning Gracedia? Fly Charizard!"

The Charizard shot up into the air as Quincy said "After him Leo! Use Quick Attack again!"

The Sceptile ceased going forward and shot upwards with great speed and Sky said "Charizard, show him you power. Flamethrower!"

The Charizard shot a powerful wide torrent of white hot flames towards the Sceptile but the grass type's trainer said "Double Team!"

Sceptile spun in the air as he separated into three identical figures to evade the attack and when he came close enough, Quincy said "Now Leo! Smackdown!"

The Scpetile got above the Charizard and smashed his tail on the Charizard's head causing him to crash to the ground with a large cloud of dust. Everyone was speechless since we have never seen Sky's Charizard get hit, all eyes fell on Sky as he smirked, chuckled and gave a lour hearty laugh.

Quincy then said "Nice job Leo, he can't use his wings now, what's so funny Larrison?"

Sky grinned a sly smile and said "It's been a while since Charizard's been hit like that by anyone. I applaud you for that, really I do, but now it's payback time, Charizard Fire Blast!"

Within the cloud of dust, two red eyes gleamed and a large blast of fire erupted from the cloud making the shiny Charizard visible again but the fire type attack was now speeding towards Leo with an incredible speed.

"Dodge Leo!" said Quincy,

The grass type tried to evade the attack but he was a bit late when his leg was caught in the flames. The Sceptile stumbled forward and fell but he quickly recovered and got back up but not without wincing a bit because of his badly burned leg.

Sky cracked his knuckles and said "Charizard use Dragon Pulse and close in with Fire Punch."

The Charizard fired a blue ball of energy from its mouth towards the Sceptile while he nimbly sped towards the Sceptile with his right fist set ablaze. The grass type nodded at his trainer and Quincy said "Hyper Leaf Storm!"

A orange beam was charging in Leo's mouth as he was surrounded by a tornado of green leaves and when he was ready, he fired the orange beam towards the Charizard along with the powerful grass type attack making it a Leaf Storm, Hyper Beam combo.

The Charizard's Dragon Pulse managed to stay toe to toe with the attack but was quickly overpowered causing a large explosion. The Scpetile smirked at the cloud of smoke but then from within, the Charizard quickly smashed his fist on Leo's face causing him to fly backwards as the Charizard roared.

Quincy scowled a bit and said "Damn, that thing is unstoppable but if it breathes, we can beat it. Leo get in close with Quick Attack and land a Night Slash attack."

The Sceptile crouched as the leaves on his arms elongated and turned as black as night and he shot towards the Charizard with great speed but then Sky said "Charizard may be big, bet he's fast too. Grab him"

The Charizard grabbed the Sceptile's Night Slash attack and growled as he smirked at the Sceptile who struggled to get free but his grip was too much and Sky said "Good, Flamethrower"

The Charizard grinned at the stunned Sceptile as he fired a powerful torrent of white flames at point blank range causing some extreme damage to Leo. The grass type skidded on the ground until he was right in front of Quincy.

"No Leo!"

Quincy looked mortified, as much of a good trainer she was, she does not like seeing her Pokemon getting hurt like anyone else would. She was about to say something but then Leo got back up slowly with his body being surrounded by a green aura.

"Overgrow" Connor sighed. "This could still be won."

All of us in the observation area looked at him and we all looked back at the battlefield where Quincy said "Now Leo! Frenzy Storm!"

The Sceptile roared as the green aura enveloped his body and the ground started to tremble. A tornado of leaves surrounded him and the ground started to shake even more violently, everyone held their breath on what would happen but Sky was just scowling as his Charizard stood ready for the attack. The Sceptile roared even louder as Quincy said "Now Leo! Attack!"

The grass type roared once more as the cyclone of leaves flew towards the Charizard while four large, prickly vines appeared from the ground and shot towards the Charizard along with the Leaf Storm.

"It's an Overgrow powered Leaf Storm Frenzy Plant Combo! It could be over for Charizard!"

Everyone looked at Sky as he said "Steel Wing"

The fire type starter growled as he smirked at the incoming attacks, both of his wings glowed as the two attacks made contact and a huge explosion ensued. Leo fell onone knee breathing heavily after doing a very powerful attack.

As the smoke cleared, everyone gasped at the sight. Sky's shiny Charizard had his black wings over his body and the vines from Frenzy Plant and the leaves from Leaf Storm wer scattered around as the Charizard lifted his wings from his front to grin at the Scpetile as Sky said "Going for top moves huh? Blast Burn Charizard, make it quick."

The Charizard sucked in some air as he started to glow red and he fired a powerful red sphere of fire towards Sceptile who was directly hit with the attack. Leo flew back in front of Quincy, bruised, battered and burned with swirls in his eyes.

The MC then said "After using Steel Wing to block that powerful combination. Sky finishes with a Blast Burn that sealed the match meaning Sky Larrison is the winner of this tournament!"

The crowd erupted into cheers as Aunt Misty and Tucker approached Sky with a trophy and an envelope. Aunt Misty handed him the envelope and said "Congratulations, here's your prize of 20,000 and the trophy."

Sky took the trophy and waved to the crowd while Quincy returned Leo and said "nice job Leo; that Charizard was way too strong for us."

Sky approached her with the trophy in his arms and said "Well Gracedia, I may have won but that was a nice battle."

She shook hands with him and said "Yeah, it was. Congratulations, hope we battle again someday."

Sky nodded and said "Yep, train harder too Gracedia, Charizard wasn't even using fifty percent of his power that time."

Quincy looked shocked along with everyone else who heard it and Sky waved to the crowd once more before he returned his Charizard and walked out of the arena. Quincy went back up to the observation box and Connor said "Job well done Stonecold, it was a tough match but at least you tried your best."

She nodded while everyone else congratulated her on a job well done. B and Seaerral then said "Hey guys were going too. B here is still missing four badges so I'm going with him till then."

B grinned at us and said "Yeah guys so, bye for now! Bronnor, Liz, Broniel and Quincy see you guys later!"

Connor, Liz, Quincy and I seat dropped while Seaerral slapped B at the back of his head while she said "Well guys see you soon!"

With that, Seaerral and B left the room. I looked at Quincy and she sighed "I'm leaving too."

Liz and Connor nodded while I said "Really?"

She nodded and said "Look Dan, All people know each other, and everyone is connected. Sometimes the connection is made in a first meet, sometimes the connection is made by someone mutual, and very rarely the connection is made in fate like destiny. There are a lot of things I have learned during this tournament that I didn't think it were possible, and yet it is possible. Yet I have learned about how much experience in the various battles with my Pokemon, and those things I have to work on with my Pokemon team. Later"

She put a hand on my head as she walked away. Connor stood next to me and said "She is something else huh. One minute she wants to kill me and then she act real nice with you and Liz the next."

Liz chuckled and said "Yeah Connor, she just really doesn't like you."

He laughed a bit while I said "Hey, let's say goodbye to my aunt before we go to the center, I think I'll have my rematch tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" a familiar voice said, "Why not today? I saw how better you've gotten."

I turned and saw my Aunt smiling at me and she said "Well then Dan, come on. Battlefield is still ready so let's battle."

I grinned and followed her to the battlefield while Connor and Liz followed me.

-LINE BREAK-

The gym had already been cleared of the spectators; all that was left was me, Connor, Jordan, Luke, Misty, Liz, the referee and Animus who was still mumbling to himself.

I stood on my side of the battlefield while Aunt Misty stood on hers. She pressed a button and the dirt battlefield sank down underneath and the water battlefield I battled on appeared once again.

My eyes drifted to Connor and Liz who waved at me as I waved at them. I knew I had to win this now, I would and I will. The referee was then going to be Tucker and he said "The gym battle between Gym Leader Misty and the Challenger Dan will now begin! Same rules as last time! Each trainer will use two Pokemon each, only the challenger can substitute! Trainers choose your Pokemon!"

"Politoad lets go!"

"Matt Its Go Time!"

Out of my Pokeball came out my newly evolved Marshtomp. I hope Matt would be good enough to take on my Aunt's Politoad since her Politoad make look gentle and happy but it was a fierce battler.

Tucker raised his hands and said "Politoad vs Marshtomp! Who will win this battle? Who will emerge the victor? Who will-"

"Tucker" Misty interrupted him with an annoyed expression, "Get on with it or else."

The Frontier Brain flinched and said "Okay! Jeez, Politoad vs Marshtomp! Begin!"

"Politoad use Focus Blast!"

"Counter with Dynamic Punch!"

Politoad fired a large sphere of energy towards Matt but Matt intercepted it by smashing his glowing fist on it resulting with neither of them taking no damage. Matt grinned at Politoad while he held his fist out while Politoad happily clapped his hands together.

"Your Mudkip got stronger Dan that I can tell." Said Aunt Misty,

"Thanks!" I replied, "Hope I actually win this time, Matt use Aqua Jet and turn into Iron Tail!"

Matt surrounded himself in water and dived under the pool while Politoad was still gleefully clapping his hands. Aunt Misty then said "Watch out Politoad! When he comes out use Hyper Voice!"

As soon as Matt came out of the water, Politoad did a loud yell that made Matt lose his focus making his attacks useless and then Aunt Misty said "Now Politoad! Focus Punch!"

"Matt use Dynamic Punch!"

The two of the water types stood on the floating platform as their two fist collided causing the entire pool to shake but Matt was stronger than Politoad causing him to overpower the Focus Punch and land a hit on Politoad's face sending back into the water.

"Now Matt! Follow up with Ice Beam!"

Before Politoad could come out of the water, Matt fired his Ice Beam attack causing Politoad to get frozen in place as he was coming out. I fist pumped with Jordan on my shoulder and my Aunt said "Politoad break free!"

"Hurry Matt! Finish with Dynamic Punch!"

Matt leapt off the platform and quickly crashed his glowing fist on Politoad's stomach, cracking the ice and setting him free but not without taking the damage. The Politoad fell down on the ground with swirls in its eyes and Tucker said "Politoad is unable to battle!"

I cheered along with Jordan, Luke and Matt. I turned and saw Liz cheering loudly with some of her Pokemon out like Squirtle, Eevee and Clefairy. Connor applauded while Animus had finally calmed down as he gave me an approving nod. I turned to my Aunt and I saw her return her fallen Pokemon and said "Nice job Politoad, well Dan, you really got better but here's your real test. Gyarados!"

Out of her Pokeball came out her large, scary water/flying type Pokemon. The monster roared as he came out of the water. I saw Matt look up at the Pokemon with his eyes as wide as plates, I heard Jordan squeak a bit and I saw Luke glare at the large Pokemon.

Tucker raised his hands and said "Gyarados vs Marshtomp! Good luck kid, Battle Begin!"

"Gyarados use Hyper Beam!"

"Protect Matt!"

The Gyarados fired a large orange beam towards my Marshtomp but then Matt surrounded himself in a green shield causing him to take no dmamage. Matt then leapt up and I said "Dynamic Punch Matt!"

The Gyarados was immobile as Matt smashed his fist on the Gyardos' head but it seemed to not do much except annoy the massive Pokemon. Aunt Misty grinned and said "It's going to take a lot more than that! Gyarados use Surf!"

The large water type sent a large wave towards Matt and it caught him as Aunt Misty said "Giga Impact!"

Gyarados surged forward as Matt was caught in the large wave. The Atrocious Pokemon tackled Matt with the powerful attack causing him to get knocked back to a nearby platform.

"Get up!" I said, "Come on Matt let's keep going!"

Matt got back up as the Gyarados roared and I said "Aquat Jet Iron Tail!"

Matt's tail glowed as he shot towards the Gyarados but then Misty countered "Giga Imapct Again!"

The Gyarados surged forward to meet his opponent's attack and Matt; even with all his strength, was overpowered by the Atrocious Pokemon. Matt crashed into the water and floated on his back with swirls in his eyes.

"Marshtomp is unable to battle!" said Tucker, "The winner is Gyarados!"

The large Pokemon roared in its victory while I returned Matt and said "Nice work buddy, you really got 'em good. Take a good rest."

My aunt smiled at me and said "Well Dan, whose next?"

I turned and saw Connor giving me a thumbs up while Liz smiled at me and I looked at Jordan who was on my shoulder and said "Well Jordan, its rematch time!"

He leapt to the nearest platform with his usual confident grin as Tucker said "Final match! Pichu vs Gyarados! Battle Begin!"

"I hope your Pichu got stronger too Dan, Gyarados use Surf!"

"Quick Jordan, I'm so glad we learned this move. Extreme Speed to dodge and follow up with Thunderbolt!"

Jordan quickly disappeared and reappeared away from the large wave and shot a powerful jolt of electricity towards Gyarados and successfully landing a super effective hit. The large Pokemon staggered back and crashed into the water while I cheered along with my friends for Jordan's performance.

Jordan gave a thumbs up and smirked at the recovering Gyarados as my Aunt said "He did get stronger, but here it comes. Hydro Pump!"

The Gyarados fired a powerful torrent of water from its wide mouth towards Jordan who dodged the attack once more with his new and improved speed. I wanted to hide this ability for my aunt so I couldn't risk her finding out in the tournament and I was so tempted to use it on Parker's Vigoroth.

The Gyarados then sped towards Jordan as my Aunt said "Gyarados use Thrash!"

Gyarados started flailing around in the water as Jordan was put off balance by the attack and I said "Jump Jordan quick and use Thunder Punch!"

My little electric type leapt into the air to avoid being hit and he leapt from platform to platform to get closer and when he got close enough he smashed his fist to Gyarados' body causing a yell of pain to be brought forth. This Gyarados had already taken so much punishment but it was still standing.

My Aunt then said "Quick Gyarados before another one hits, Ice Beam!"

The Gyarados fired the Ice type attack and froze the ground where Jordan was standing but the electric type quickly dodged with another Extreme Speed and got on a platform as I said "Charge Beam!"

Jordan charged the electric type attack in his hands as Aunt Misty said "Hyper Beam!"

The two attacks were launched and connected in the air and the two attacks struggled for dominance but the Gyarados' Hyper Beam was too much and it broke Jordan's Charge Beam. I yelled for Jordan when he was sent into the water, Jordan may pack a punch but when he received attacks, that was the dangerous part. He's really great at evading and dishing out attacks but he couldn't take too much damage as Luke, Emil and Matt could. If he survived the Hyper Beam, he might not be able to take another attack like that.

Jordan swam from the water to the nearest platform as the Gyarados roared. Jordan stood on the platform huffing heavily as Luke said "Master Dan, Jordan may not last much longer."

I nodded and said "Yeah, I know."

I turned to Jordan and said "Jordan use Volt Tackle!"

The small electric type was running on all fours as he ran towards the Atrocious Pokemon with his body surrounded in electricity but Misty grinned and said "Wait for it Gyarados… Surf!"

The water type sent a large wave towards the incoming electric type but as a surprise to everyone, Jordan shot through the large wave completely unharmed but my Aunt smirked and said "Perfect, Iron tail!"

The Gyarados' tail glowed and he smashed it on Jordan causing him to get shot upwards. My eyes widened since Jordan was so high up in the air that he might freeze again. My Aunt smirked and said "It's over, Hyper Beam!"

Time seemed to slow down as the Gyarados charged a orange sphere of energy in his mouth and Jordan had a complete sight of fear on his face but I then said "Jordan come on! You can do this just follow what I say! If you trust me, you'll listen! Come on partner go spiraling down with Volt Tackle!"

Jordan's face of fear turned into confidence as he heard my voice and he nodded towards me and he started to descend like a meteor as he surrounded himself in electricity once again. The Gyarados fired the Hyper Beam towards Jordan but my partner started to cut through the beam as I yelled "Go Jordan! You can do it!"

Jordan yelled as loud as he could as he pushed on trying to land his attack on Gyarados and a few seconds later, a large explosion ensued. Everyone gasped as the smoke cleared and the Gyarados' unconscious form floated on the water with Jordan standing on it grinning like a madman.

I hear Connor, Liz and Tucker applaud as Tucker said "Gyarados is unable to battle and the winner Pichu meaning that Dan Ketchum is the victor!"

My Aunt approached me as she said "Congratulations Dan, what you did to train, keep it up. Here" she said handing me a small blue item "The Cascade Badge, take this as a sign of you victory in the Cerulean City Gym. Wear it with pride."

I held the badge in my hands as I held it in the air and said "I won the Cascade Badge!"

Luke cheered while Jordan cheered as well as he stood on the Gyarados' unconscious form. I was so happy right now and I'm one step close to the league. I really hope Skylar saw me and is proud of me but all that matters now is one thing.

I won.
