Drake stood at the tunnel entrance, confidence radiating off him. This will be an easy one for sure. He kind of felt bad for Kassidy; she really had no chance. He walked out of the entrance, a smug smile on his face. The sunlight hit Drake's face and he raised his arm to block the sunlight.

"DRAKE! DRAKE! DRAKE!" The crowd was chanting as Drake made his way to a blue podium. Just like in the last round Drake was introduced to the crowd and his information posted on the Jumbotron. Up next was Kassidy, her crowd reaction was impressive but not nearly as loud as Drakes fans. Kassidy and Drakes podiums lifted up into the air and the next round was underway.

"Toto GO!" Toto leaped from Drakes right shoulder and landed in the arena.

"PONYTA I CHOOSE YOU!" Kassidy threw her red and white ball revealing the flaming horse. Drake was confused as to why his opponent would start with a fire pokemon knowing full well he only had water.

"Yo Kass, You're spose to try and win remember?" Drake called across the field.

"Oh don't worry about me Drakey, I strategized with the best this morning and they taught me how to beat you!" all of a sudden Kassidy seemed way less attractive.

"Yea well I don't remember talking strategies with you!" "Toto go ahead and take Ponyta out, water gun!" Toto fired a powerful blast of water at Ponyta, but Ponyta was much too fast and easily dodged the attack.

"PONYTA GET IN CLOSE, CHARGE HIM!" Ponyta came running full speed and ran over Toto effortlessly. Toto picked himself up.

"Aight Toto remember our speed training"

"Ponyta FLARE BLITZ!" Ponyta's entire body caught on fire as it ran straight towards Toto who answered with another water gun."Ponyta Hard right!" Ponyta easily evaded the attack and followed up by slamming into Toto again. Dang Drake thought to himself as Toto was picking himself up again. This is brilliant. She's keeping her distance, using Ponyta's speed to strike and retreat. I wonder if Toto could out last Ponyta."Ponyta lets get another Flame charge kay!" Again Ponyta came sprinting at Toto from across the arena, and again it Evaded a water gun, and again Toto was picking himself up.

"Come on buddy we just need one shot to take Ponyta Down" Drake said getting a little frustrated by the lack of aiming his pokemon was doing.

"Awe Drakey don't tell me you're getting mad! "Drake knew she didn't mean to sound demeaning but it still made him even madder. Drake was prepared for her next attack though.

"Ponyta Fire blast!" As a huge blast of fire erupted from Ponyta's mouth.

Drake hesitated for just a split second. I didn't expect a long range attack. Luckily Toto was smart enough to defend himself by putting out the fire before it hit him. Toto was becoming as frustrated with Drake as Drake was with Toto's came the command for the charge. Toto was slower to get up this time. "Hey Totodile wanna hit Ponyta or nah?" This was the breaking point. Toto turned around and fired an attack at Drake soaking him. The guards began to advance but Drake held his hand out to stop them. "Real tired of..." Toto blasted Drake crowd started laughing at the duo. Drake could feel his heart beating as he got more aggravated by Toto's attitude.

"Drake if your pokemon attacks you one more time ill have to take it as a refusal to battle." The announcer called over then looked at Kassidy, the look on her face was a mix of guilt and pride. Next Drake looked at Toto who starred back, both trainer and Pokemon nodded in the exact same time both trainers shouted a command Ponyta charged and Toto fired a barrage of water attacks all missing.

"AQUA JET!" Drake heard the command in his voice, but felt as though someone else gave it. The fire and water pokemon collided leaving nothing but black smoke and dust.

"AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! DID YOU SEE THAT? DID YOU SEE THAT HIGH SPEED COLLISION FOLKS?" The announcer exclaimed. Drake was focused on the middle of the arena where Toto was, hoping his pokemon was ok. When the smoke cleared Toto was standing above an unconscious Ponyta.

"YEA ALRIGHT TOTO!" Drake and Toto celebrated as one circle darkened under Kassidy's picture. The crowed roared louder and louder.

"Tauros lets stomp him!" The bull pokemon appeared, scratching at the ground waiting for a thought to himself. Tauros are powerful and fast, and Toto is at his limit. "Me and my Tauros are undefeated i'll have ya know!" Kassidy shouted."Tauros full charge!" The giant bull Pokemon came sprinting at Toto head down.

"Perfect, Toto lets take the bull by the horns!" Drake gave the command and the little blue Pokemon rolled out of harms way, but quickly jumped from the side grabbing Tauros horn fired a water gun upwards and brought the bull crashing into the dirt.

"An easy victory against a powerful opponent, give it to the little guy folks!" The crowd had hit deafening levels with a mix of chants for Drake and Toto. Drake started waving his hands up in the air egging on the crowd, they responded with even more shouts. Drake looked across towards Kassidy who was trying to say something but couldn't be heard. Kassidy threw her hat down in frustration. Drake watched and waited for Kassidy's next Pokemon.

"MILKTANK TIME TA SHINE!" Kassidy threw her final Pokémon out. Milktank, Drake thought to himself she'll most likely use Whitney's Defense curl and Rollout tactics. "This will be great practice Toto" Drake paused "let's end her!" "Milktank rollout!" Kassidy shouted as the cow rolled up in a ball and came rolling straight for Toto. Perfect Drake thought to himself, but everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. Drake felt something was wrong as he watched Toto easily side step he realized his mistake to late. Kassidy called the attack order. Thunder punch, the hit landed directly into Toto's Stomach. Drake could see the lightning course around his teammates body before Toto stumbled forward unconscious. Kassidy executed everything perfectly. She tired them out with ponyta and Tauros than got in close with rollout and finished it easily. Drake couldn't believe he was played so easily. Drake suddenly felt a surge of energy flow through his body he felt adrenaline rushing threw his veins. He couldn't control himself he raised his right hand towards Toto and felt the energy leave him. Toto was glowing purple as he picked himself up. The stadium and Kassidy were all stunned that The Pokémon didn't faint. Drake saw Toto release an attack neither had ever seen or worked on. Hydro cannon the pennical of water attacks. It hit the Milktank directory in the chest and sent it crashing into the stadium wall causing part of it to cave in.

"Milktank is unable to battle, Drake and Toto win!" The crowd erupted into a frenzy. Drake blacked out.
