A/N: Ok… time for chapter 2. Well… not much to say. Sooooooo… LET'S GOOOOOOOO!
Truly Shiny Chapter 2: Battles
Verdant's POV
Sharp leaves fly at me at lightning speed. I dodge them, just barely. We're just having a pokemon battle. We have one almost every other day, to train ourselves if we were to ever run into danger. Autumn is dang fast, but I have been working on my reaction time. But there are times when it fails me. Like now. She tackles me right after I dodged her razor leaf. I can tell she had been working on it, as it hurts more than usual. She uses vine whip to hold me up in the air with a smirk on her face.
"Say uncle!" she says confidently. I know she is most likely to slam me down against the ground, which could make me lose. But I have a trick up my sleeve. I learned a new move during training. Ember. I use the move. Crimson embers engulf Autumn. She cringes and drops me. I know that she despises fire. And I used that to my advantage.
"Okay, okay, you win! Just make it go away!" she says frantically, clearly showing her annoyance toward the red hot embers cloaking her.
"Hah… thing is… I don't… know any… water type moves." I say, perhaps a bit too nervously.
"WHAT?!" she screams. "YOU SET ME ON FREAKING FIRE AND YOU DON'T KNOW ANY WATER TYPE MOVES TO PUT ME OUT?! WHAT THE FRICK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!". I've never seen her this mad. I have to put her out somehow. So I use the most reasonable move I know to put her out. Headbutt. There is a river nearby, and I can smack her in there with it. So I get going. Ignoring the grunts of of pain as I push, no, hit her along, I manage to get to the river in a few minutes time. I headbutt her in, and she hits the water with a sizzle, large amounts of steam rapidly rising from the water as she cools. After a few moments she surfaces, laughing her butt off.
"Why don't you come in?" she asks.
"I don't know…"
"Come on! Why not?" The reason is too unbearable to remember. Back in the Bagon village, my Salamence parents would inflict cruel punishment upon me. The most frequent was cold water. We had a watering hole in front of our cave. Whenever I did something bad, they put me in the cold, cold water and hold me under. Then pull me up. Then down. Then up. Then down. This would go on for hours at a time. This caused me to develop a strong fear of water. My thoughts are interrupted by two slender green vines grasping me. They tug me into the water as I furiously try to fight it. But the force is too overpowering for me to handle. I hit the water with a splash. When I surface, I find Autumn laughing hysterically. I scramble out of the water frantically.
"That wasn't funny at all!" I say as angrily as I can make it sound.
"Aw come on! Don't be a WET blanket!" Autumn says and starts laughing even harder than before.
"Oh very funny." I say, annoyed.
"Come on, let's get dried off and eat dinner. It's getting late and I'm exhausted." I notice the sun setting over the horizon.
"Fine" I groan, like I'm a little kid.
Another day, another fight.
A/N: So what did you think? Sorry it took so long to get this done, I've been busy with school and such. As always, read and review! I'll get more out this weekend. Have a good day! :D
