Jimmy Vincent & Rosalyn Smith
Academy Grounds
Jimmy told Kaida to dodge the Sludge Bomb, but the move was too fast and hit the baby Druddigon. She then cried out in pain and glowed purple. She was poisoned. The rebellious looking boy's evil smiled vanished, he did not see that coming, his Pokémon getting poisoned so fast. Luck was on Rosalyn's side, it seemed.
"Humph! Kaida, use Hone Claws!" he barked.
As Rosalyn's Seviper burrowed its way under the ground, Kaida sharpened her claws, making them seem tougher. Jimmy looked at the hole in the ground that Swampy made and shouted out another command at his dragon.
"Kaida, strike with Crush Claw once that Seviper comes out!"
Kaida stood steadily, although it was hard for her as she was suffering from poisoning. Suddenly, she felt the ground shaking lightly under her feet, and then Rosalyn's Seviper popped out. The baby Druddigon did as told, striking the giant snake with a powerful-looking Crush Claw. However, that didn't stop her from getting hit by Dig, and she was sent flying and both Pokémon landed on the ground with a thud.
"Kaida, come on, get up!"
Both Kaida and Swampy still looked like they were able to fight and got back to their feet (although figuratively on Swampy's case), but Kaida was once again hurt by poison, and she clutched her belly. Jimmy frowned, he didn't like how things were turning out for him. Judging by the state of the Pokémon, it seemed his friend had the upper hand, and he looked determined to turn the tables. Then he heard her saying, "Swampy, use Wrap!" and watched as the giant snake quickly slithered towards his dragon and surrounded her body, then squeezed her. Kaida cried in pain, and Jimmy got more upset.
"Kaida, use Bite!" he commanded.
Kaida bit down on Swampy as hard as she could, and the Seviper cried in pain.
Rosalyn meanwhile had smiled slightly when she saw both of the attacks Swampy had made had hit, but it faded when she saw the pain Kaida was in. She felt terrible for hurting the baby Pokemon and planned on making sure Kaida knew she was sorry for it. At this point Swampy was wrapped around Kaida and her friends Pokemon had used bite on Swampy making him cry out and she visibly winced.
"alright Swampy, use Bite to take out Kaida" She called out not wanting to see either Pokemon in pain.
Swampy nodded at his trainer getting what she was thinking and bit down on Kaida's arm, not to hard but hard enough to knock the Pokemon out. "are we done there Jimmy? Or are you gonna send out another Pokemon?" she called over to her friend.
Kaida tried hard to endure Swampy's Bite attack, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not cope with the pain of the attack plus the poison and the Wrap, and was knocked out. Jimmy returned Kaida inside her Pokéball, and with a frown grabbed a Pokéball. He said no words and sent out Grim, his Duskull who, with a yawn, entered the battlefield.
"Grim, Dark Pulse!" the boy commanded, "Quick!"
Grim sighed and fired a pulse of dark energy towards the giant snake Pokémon. Kaida seemed to have taken a lot out if it, and Grim's attack looked like it had what it needed to leave Swampy out of commission. And looks might not have been deceiving that time...
Rosalyn let out a frown at Jimmy's attitude, it was just a friendly battle, no need for him to be so gruff and serious, but she wouldn't let that distract her. The dark pulse of energy that Grim sent out slammed into Swampy hard and the Seviper let out a cry before falling unconcious. "It's alright Swampy you did great" Rosalyn said to encourage herself and her fainted Pokemon. She grabbed the Seviper's Pokeball and called him back before grabbing another one at random.
"Come on out!" she smiled tossing the Pokeball into the air and after a second her Wartortle Jazz appeared in front of her. Looking from the Ghost Type to her Water Type Rosalyn reminded herself not to use Normal type moves.
"Alright Jazz, use Gyro Ball on Grim" she ordered, the Wartortle jumped into the air and spun himself quickly in a circle before going inside his shell, he then hurled through the air towards Grim. "A steel type move like this should still hit Grim" she thought holding her breath.
Jimmy adopted a more serious expression. He told Grim to use Disable on Jazz, and right after she was hit by the spinning turtle, she cast some sort of weird spell on him that prevented him from using the move Gyro Ball again. Then he ordered Grim to use Confuse Ray on the Wartortle, and the Duskull made a bizarre-looking ball and threw it at her opponent, however, the attack was very likely to miss.
Jimmy couldn't believe it. He tried to hold back, and yet now that he started to get serious he and Rosalyn were having an even match. He could not believe what was happening before his eyes.
"Dodge it Jazz" Rosalyn called out seeing the Confuse Ray flying towards Jazz. The Wartortle landed on the ground and jumped to the side narrowly dodging the Confuse Ray and Rosalyn let out a sigh of relief. Now that both her and Jimmy's Pokemon where evenly matched the battle was getting interesting, and funner as well.
"Great job!" Rosalyn called out encouragingly before smiling happily at her best friend. "This is fun don't you agree?" she asked before telling Jazz to use Aqua Jet. The Wartortle became surrounded by a blue glow and when it faded he was surrounded by water and sent himself quickly towards Grim.
"Yeah, terrific." Jimmy said, still upset. He was failing in battle for the first time since arriving at the Academy, and that he didn't want to put up with. It was harder and harder for him to swallow his pride and that made him get nervous.
"Grim, come on, strike with Dark Pulse!"
Grim sighed and fired another pulse of dark energy at Rosalyn's Wartortle. However, Aqua Jet was a very fast move and, before she fired, she was hit by it. But hopefully the Dark Pulse would land a great deal of damage on Jazz.
Rosalyn watched as her Pokemon landed on the ground but she was to slow to call out for him to dodge the Dark Pulse and the ball of dark energy slammed into the Wartortle sending him flying back where he landed at Rosalyn's feet. "C'mon Jazz, get up, you can do this" Rosalyn said softly biting her bottom lip.
It was a struggle but after a second Jazz got back to his feet although he was very shaky. The Dark Pulse had landed a critical hit taking Jazz's health to a very low level. "Jazz use Aqua Jet again" Rosalyn ordered. She knew with Jazz's health low that his ability was activated which powered up any water attacks. Jazz became surrounded by a blue glow yet again and he ran at Grim surrounded by water. After a moment Jazz slammed into Grim hard causing the Duskull to faint.
"I w-won" Rosalyn spoke disbelief in her tone.
And Rosalyn wasn't the only one in disbelief. Jimmy Vincent could not believe his eyes. He had lost for the first time since his arrival. He got cocky but didn't know that his friend was so strong. He underestimated her and paid the price. But he wouldn't accept that, not for a while.
"Humph...Whatever..." he mumbled, although they both could tell he was just upset about losing. He called his fainted Duskull back to her Pokéball and sighed. "I-I let you win."
Rosalyn called back Jazz and looked at her friend. She knew he was upset about losing and when he told her he let her win she wisely chose not to say anything about it. She knew if she did it would just upset him more. Unknown to the two teens was the teacher who had been watching the whole thing. "that was a good battle you two. But it's late. You have classes in the morning, it's time to head back to your dorms." Sage said making his presence known.
Rosalyn was startled by the voice but didn't show it, though it did sound familiar to her. She turned to the sound and Jimmy could see her face pale as she recognized her oldest brother the recognition showing on her face. She didn't say a word to the man just turned quickly and hugged Jimmy tight for a moment her voice shaky as she whispered "G-Good night Jimmy" before she ran off quickly.
Jimmy was about to yell at the guy who had been watching the battle, when suddenly Rosalyn started to act weird. She gave him a tight hug and whispered good night before running off. Now he was both upset and confused. What was going on? Who was this man? And why was Rosalyn so scared of him?
"Whatever." Jimmy said and turned around, walking towards the Raikou Dorm. Within minutes he was in his room, taking his sneakers and torn up Raikou Dorm jacket off and throwing them aside. The anger of having lost did not fade during his walk. And as he got in bed, he could only think of one thing: to get stronger. He would train a whole lot after his class.
