Wow its been a while. I wish I had a better reason, but college and my bowling have gotten in the way a bit. Never fear I have a short spring break right now and will try to get some extra stuff ready to get out now. Without further adieu, I present the power house's showdown for Emmett.

"Alright Emmett, since you want to see a battle between Dragonite and Arcanine, I'll give you one. Hey you guys," Dragonite turned towards me while Arcanine's ears twitched and angled in the same direction, "want to battle it out for Emmett?" I asked. Even though I knew they would be all for a little battle after not getting any action for a few months (A/N- no pun intended you dirty people). Dragonite flew over to the left center of the clearing and Arcanine was very close to flying with his extreme speed to the other half of the clearing. I know being the power houses on my original team meant that they were great friends, but right now there was a fire blazing in Arcanine's eyes and Dragonite's sheer power seemed to be soaring higher than Rayquaza's ozone home (A/N- the ozone layer is above the layer that we thrive in. PS if any other pokémon flies above this please tell me and I'll fix this). I turned back to Emmett "So this will be the same as the last battle where they will be fighting as if they were in the wild and I will just call out what moves they use." I turned back, "everyone ready," I asked?

I got a flaming bark from Arcanine and a high pitched whine from Dragonite. "You both seem to be ready so just go when ready." Arcanine disappeared and reappeared a second later in Dragonite's gut as soon as I finished the sentence.

"Extreme Speed," I said somewhat bored because I knew that he was going to use that attack. Dragonite quickly recovered and his wings glowed brightly and closed in on Arcanine knocking the great fire dog back from him.

"Wing Attack," I announced although it was kinda obvious, but the Cullen's wouldn't know the name of the attack. Arcanine open his mouth wide and sent out a dark pulse of energy heading right for Dragonite.

"Dragon Pulse," the attack traveled pretty fast, but Dragonite moved out of the way by flying very high up in the air.

"Fly," again this is another obvious attack, but I said I would announce the name of all of the attacks. A thin green tye dye looking veil completely covered Arcanine in a circle.

"Protect," well at least he is now thinking more strategically now that he has gotten some attacks in. Dragonite flew in to hit Arcanine, but the protect held and Dragonite didn't do any damage. After the attack the protect faded and Arcanine jumped at Dragonite with flaming teeth and bit down.

"Fire Fang," I said with a small smile. I remembered when he first learned that move, Arcanine was so happy he could intimidate people even more with a flaming maw and even do a decent amount of damage with it too, but back to the battle. Dragonite once again had the winds surrounding him and shook Arcanine off.

"Hurricane, good thinking Dragonite," Arcanine growled as he waited for the fierce winds to die down. Soon after Arcanine leapt up and punched Dragonite with his front paw causing a small rock shower after the punch landed. Dragonite rocketed to the ground and landed in the ground in a small crater.

"Rock Smash," here's the finisher. Dragonite was breathing heavily as it shakily stood up, while Arcanine landed gracefully on his paws and got back into a ready position. Dragonite started to flap his wings and got up into the air as a light blue fire engulfed him, and Arcanine just stood there baring his fangs. Dragonite rushed to where Arcanine was crouching, but before he could land a hit, a dark pulse was sent out from Arcanine's now wide open mouth. Dragonite slid across the ground, and did not get back up.

"Great job Arcanine, it could have been done a little cleaner, but you still won. Now come over here so we can get you fixed up," Arcanine walked over to me while Dragonite shook himself back into consciousness and sat up. "Good work too Dragonite! You would have won against any other pokémon, but you know that our Arcanine just wants to prove that he is the best and strongest guard dog there is," I said this as I started to scratch Arcanine behind his ear.

Even if he didn't want to show it I knew he loved this because his tail would twitch like he was forcing himself to remain calm. Vulpix, Espeon, and Aipom came behind me and we pushed Arcanine over. The mighty guard dog lay dumbfounded on his back, while I start to scratch his stomach. It's not often that I get to do this as he wants to keep his cool at all ties to be vigilant and he is very hard to push over by myself, but this he can not resist being a normal silly pup when anyone would scratch his stomach. Arcanine was wagging his tail with his tongue lolling out, and just lay there as I took advantage of him giving into his softer side.

Soon after, he rolled to his side and decided he had enough, which I just huffed at. He needed to relax; no one was going to try to hurt me now with a family of vamps watching over me. By this time Dragonite had recovered enough to walk over to the deck near to the portable health center where he was just waiting to be healed back to full health. I walked over with a hand on Arcanine's neck. Both Arcanine and Dragonite were returned to their respective balls and placed on the machine where they glowed white for 15 seconds. Afterwards, I let both of them back out and they returned to the same tree with the rest of the team.

Yeah I know this is a shorter chapter, but I have some stuff to get ready for the next cuz then we will be meeting Bella's next team. Also I would like to let you know that I grew up with the original 150 and watched the anime up until Dawn and Piplup came into the pic. I didn't follow it very well with May though, and I own a GameBoy Color. Yes I realize it is very old, I would like to get a DS or an SP even, but I figure why should I when I'm almost 19 and getting a job in less than 5 years. So to stop beating around the bush, I don't know how contests and contest battles go. If anyone would like to help out, or I may just disregard the contest stuff all together. It's up to you all. Also the fixing stuff if its wrong message earlier works for anything I write. I like constructive criticism, but please no flames. This is my first multi-chapter story so please be gentle.

Until next chapter,

(ps- Arcanine and Vulpix will stay. Arcanine is a guard and not truly her own. Also this is my story and this is the way I want it.)
