OH!!! Yeah, for my drawing purposes, Gaby no longer has Lugia eye fins. Ok? Just pretend she never had them.

Gaby

--------

Two Pokémon materialised in front of their trainers. Lily had a Salamence out and Kieran had a Mightyena.

"What is that?" Kieran and Gaby asked at the same time.

"Uh, it's a Dragon-Flying type. It has a really high attack power," Kip said to Gaby. She nodded.

"That's right, and Salamence also have a very high speed. Arrow!!! Give it a Dragon Claw!"

The Salamence lunged at the Mightyena, but apparently the Mightyena was better trained then it looked. Dodging it easily, the Mightyena landed behind it, waiting for a command.

"Awesome work, Bro!" Kieran said, cheering his Mightyena on. "Now, Shadow Ball!"

The Mightyena sent a dark energy ball at the Salamence, hitting it right in the side. Though it didn't look like much, it sent the Salamence flying backwards. It righted itself.

"Wow..." Lily said in awe. "Uh...Alright! Counter it with Fire Blast!"

The Salamence opened its mouth and released the five-point attack. The Mightyena had no escape. Or so they thought.

"Hehe. This is child's play. Come on, Bro, let's show this girl what we've got! Dig!"

The Mightyena disappeared just as Fire's most powerful attack reached him. He was nowhere in sight.

"Stupid kid! Dig's a Ground-Type move! It won't effect Arrow!"

"That wasn't the goal, now was it? Did I ever say I wanted to attack you? I was just avoiding the attack! But your right. Dig won't effect you Salamence. But..."

The Mightyena burst out of the ground behind the Salamence. In mid-air, he glanced over at his trainer for instructions.

"Attack formation 2!" Was all that Kieran said. The Mightyena jumped onto the Salamence and used Crunch. The Salamence tried to shake it off, but the teeth were dug into the skin. Then, when the Salamence was again trying to throw it off, the Mightyena let go and opened it's mouth. In a second, the charged Hyper-Beam was released, and the Salamence was defeated.

"What?!" Lily said, looking at Kieran in disbelief as he greeted his Mightyena by petting him. "How did that kid-?"

"He fights as well as any trainer I've seen," Seth said.

"He fights pretty well," Gaby said. "Let's see what else you've got. Make it a double battle this time. This'll be the last one, and don't use that Mightyena. Does he have a nickname? Other then Bro, I mean."

"His real name's Prowler, but I just call him Bro. I mean, we're both the same. I'm a Mightyena Pokémorph."

"Right. Thought so. Anyway, you two, pick your Pokémon," Gaby said. Lily looked at her. "What?"

"Why do we have to battle?"

"She does this. It's her little test-thing she does to let you in," Kip said.

"So you two have already done this test thing?"

"Yeah, except we did it against Gaby," Seth said.

"Right. Come on out, Sniper and Lucky!"

Kieran threw two Pokéballs into the air as he said that, and out came a Sneasel and an Absol.

"Alright, Red and Rocker! We lost before, so let's teach this kid a lesson!"

Out came the familiar Charizard, and, to everyone's surprise, an Aerodactyl.

"What the...? Lily, where did you get an extinct Pokémon?" Seth said, gazing up at the ancient Pokémon.

"Pokémon Research Lab on Cinnabar Island. Stole it when n-one was looking."

"You stole it?!" Kip said.

"Duh! Do you think they'd just give it to her?" Gaby said.

"Who cares how I got it? Let's just see how I raised it! Use Ancientpower on the Absol!"

"Lucky, Defence and counter 3!"

The Aerodactyl used its attack, but missed as the Absol jumped aside just in time. Unfortunately for Kieran, the Ancientpower worked very well and its executor glow briefly as it powered up. The Absol, meanwhile, jumped around, dodging the attacks.

"Great job, Rocker! Now, Red, use Iron Tail on the Sneasel!" Lily commanded. Her Charizard obeyed, sending the Sneasel into the air.

"Perfect!" Kieran said. "Sniper, Alpha Formation 8 combined with Lucky's Attack Manoeuvre 9!"

The Sneasel jumped onto the Absol's back. The Absol bolted forward. Stopping suddenly in front of the Charizard, the Sneasel flew forward, claws extended.

"Flamethrower!!!" Lily yelled. The Charizard shot flame at the Sneasel, catching it when it was about to reach it. The Sneasel dodged it, but missed with its attack. Lily jumped onto Red's back.

"What's with the riding?" Kieran asked, looking at Lily.

"I don't know, I just like to be part of the battle."

"Cool. Too bad you weren't paying attention to your other Pokémon, though."

Lily gasped as she saw her Aerodactyl fighting against the Absol. The Absol was using a powered up Razor Wind. Dodging the lethal attack, Rocky darted across in the sky with amazing agility. But it wasn't enough. One of the gusts caught the Aerodactyl in the wing, tearing straight through the delicate membrane. The Pokémon landed, facing the Absol.

"Time to finish it off. Lucky, attack with Thunder!"

A bolt of thunder come down from the cloudy sky, striking the Aerodactyl. It collapsed. Lily returned it.

"Alright, fine. You wanna play rough? I'll play along! Red, let's do this! Attack full force!"

The Charizard took off, zooming straight at the Absol. Caught off guard, the Absol panicked and bolted away. But the Charizard was faster. Grabbing the Absol, Lily and Red flew up, up until they disappeared. All watched the sky. Nothing. And then...

The Sneasel just had time to move out of the way before it was slammed down to earth from a height of 200 feet directly up. Then the Charizard appeared, grabbing the struggling Absol and throwing into the air. Whipping it's tail around, it slammed the Pokémon back into the ground, leaving it unconscious. Kieran stood dumb-struck as Lily landed.

"And now we have..."

"SNIPER!!! ATTACK FORMATION DELTA ONE!!!!!!!!"

The Sneasel ran forward and jumped up. Lashing out with its claws, it caught the Charizard in the chest, the sheer force sending it back ward. Red cried out in pain, but righted herself and lunged at the Sneasel. It darted out of the way and slashed again. This time its blow missed, and the Charizard, lead by Lily, opened its mouth and fired a powerful Fire Blast. It caught the Sneasel, and, finally defeated by a Super Effective blow, fainted.

"Yeah!! I knew you could do it!" Lily said, hugging Red's neck. The Charizard crooned affectionately.

"How...?!" Kieran said, returning his Sneasel. "How...?"

"Lot and lots of practice," Lily said, hopping off her Charizard. "But you were pretty good too. I mean, you took down Rocky, for a start, and actually got a hit on Red. And both of your Pokémon survived one beating from my girl here." She patted her Charizard, receiving a roar of agreement. "Not to mention that Mightyena. That's one of the toughest thing's I've faced!"

"Sure, but you gave me a thrashing as well," Kieran said. "Took down my Absol AND my Sneasel. Nobody's been able to take down my tag team before."

"Really? Cool!" Lily said. They shook hands.

"So Gaby, how did we do?" Lily asked her, turning to face Gaby.

"Not bad, not bad at all! I would ask for a battle against each of you myself, but I don't think I need to right now. You both get the highest marks I've ever given: 95!"

"95? What did I get?" Seth and Kip asked at the same time((anime sweatdrop from Gaby))

"Let's see...Seth, you got about 85...And Kip...Uh, well, you got somewhere around 70."

"What?! But I'm a great trainer!!!" Kip said. Seth snickered.

"I know! It was just at that time! I'm sure your much better then you are now!" Gaby said as Kip started the best counter: The cute pout.

"DAMN YOU KIP!!!!!!!!" Gaby said. "Why does that stupid pout always have to be so cute?!?!?! I know you're better."

"Yay!" Kip said. Gaby sighed.

"I think that's enough for today. Let's just rest for a while. Anybody know what time it is?"

"7:30 by my watch," Seth said.

"Right. Uh...Does anyone have any food? I'm all out..." Gaby said, looking through her bag.

"Uh...No..." Lily said. Seth pulled out a sad last store of some kind of crackers. So they shared the box, though they were all still considerably hungry afterwards.

Some of them decided to sleep to fight off the hunger. So Kip and Seth were soon snoring, and Lily was out of it at around 10. Gaby and Kieran were the only ones awake.

"You fight pretty well for a little guy," Gaby said.

"Feh. I'm not a little guy. True, I'm the youngest here, but I'm as good as any of you. I could probably even beat you if I wanted to."

"You wish."

"Is that a challenge?"

"BRING IT ON!!!"

Both stood up. Grabbing a Pokéball each, they threw them into the air. The others woke with a start and scrambled out of the way as a Tyranitar and a Dragonite appeared.

"ACK! You, give us more warning next time!!!!" Lily said as she was almost squished by the Tyranitar.

"Alright kid, you are so paying for that! Dragonsong, attack full force with Blizzard!!!!"

The Dragonite was suddenly surrounded by ice crystals and shot them at the Tyranitar. Hitting it directly, it toppled over.

"Iron tail!" Kieran yelled. The Tyranitar lashed out its tail from the ground, tripping the Dragonite.

"Dragonsong! Earthquake!!"

The Dragonite slammed its tail against the ground with such force that a tremor ran through the earth. Lily, Seth and Kip, who had already been frozen by the blizzard, were now being shook up. Even Kieran and Gaby were shaking from the sheer force. The Tyranitar was taking serious damage.

"Get up, Powerhouse!!!" Kieran said. The Tyranitar threw it's weight forward and landed up on its feet. The Dragonite also got up. "Alright, now use Hyper Beam!"

The Dragonite took the attack, blasted back, and opened its wings to stop the blow. Beating its wings furiously, it waited for the command.

"Nice one, Dragonsong! Now, finish it off! Outrage!!!!!"

Dragon-Type's most powerful attack was unleashed, and the Tyranitar was sent flying back. It had fainted

"Ahhh...!!!" Kieran said, running over to his Tyranitar. "You didn't look that strong...!"

"Yeah, well, looks can be deceiving. I just choose not to look powerful, that's all," Gaby said ((anime sweatdrops to all but Kieran)).

"Well, after you froze, scared, and burnt us..." Seth said. Gaby looked over to them. Sure enough, they were all frozen, bedraggled, and smoking slightly. "...I think we ought to get to sleep, don't you?"
