...

Misty's sea-green eyes narrowed as she took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm. Her hands twisted into fists, arms shaking slightly as she released her breath. Screaming and cursing wouldn't help her at the moment, but dear sweet Arceus it was what she wanted to do. The redhead honestly couldn't remember the last time that she had been quite this frustrated and infuriated with something.

A warm hand, larger than her own, suddenly closed over her fist. She glanced down first, staring at the darkly tanned hand that was covered with black and red gloves, then trailing up the arm attached to it until she reached Ash's face. He had a smile on his face and confidence in his voice as he said, "We got this." She could see the silent frustration in his eyes though, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

They were both becoming strong trainers, yet here they were, both down to their last pokemon after a ridiculous double knock-out that was just based off of sheer, dumb luck.

Misty looked towards their opponents, and she scowled fiercely when she saw Leaf's amused smirk. The brunette may have been her friend, but she absolutely wanted to throttle her to get that look off her face. Even worse was the look on his face. Misty could honestly say that she didn't really know Gary Oak that well, but she kind of just wanted to bash his face into the ground to get rid of that cocky grin. Yes, Leaf's Venusaur managed to take out her Gyarados while Gary's Arcanine defeated Ash's Sceptile, but that didn't matter.

"Wanna end this now, Ashy-boy?" Gary taunted him, green eyes flashing with amusement. "Save you the humiliation of defeat at my hands, again."

Now, Misty knew that Ash and Gary actually were sort-of friends again, and a part of her knew that the brunette was just acting like a jerk to get a rise out of her boyfriend. However, as Ash stumbled over his words for a good comeback that just didn't want to come out, she felt her ire rise up to the point where she was almost seeing red.

"We are not quitting, you big nosed jerk!" She smirked proudly to herself when she heard Ash chuckle beside her. The grin only spread across her face when Gary asked Leaf if he had a big nose and the girl just rolled her dusty-brown eyes at him. "Alright, lets go, Marill!" She tossed her pokeball up into the air, the aquatic-mouse appearing with a happy bounce.

"You too, Pikachu!" Ash pointed and his starter jumped out onto the makeshift battle field on Professor Oak's ranch.

"Marill, really?" Of course Gary wasn't going to question Pikachu, he was Ash's oldest pokemon, after all. Still, Misty bristled in annoyance and vowed then and there that he would regret underestimating her.

"Yes, Marill," she replied through gritted teeth, her eyes meeting Ash's bright-brown ones.

He nodded his head and winked at her, genuine confidence appearing once again. "We got this."

That they did. They both turned towards Gary and Leaf, their pokemon mimicking the movement.

"Pikachu!"

"Marill!"

"Take them down!" They yelled the last part together, and their pokemon darted into the fray.

Note

I know this is just a drabble. I had something much longer half written out but then I ran into a part that I was struggling with and just ugh so much effort! So I went with a small drabble for today. Is this me being lazy? Yes. Still, I'm happy with this small little contribution. That's just my opinion though.

How do you guys think the battle turned out?

Til next time!
