((Hooray for joint battle post! I/Dylan will be in orange and Darkangel/Shirona will be in blue))
Shirona smiled and backed up until they were a fair distance apart. She flicked her hair over her shoulder and looked at Vulpix. "You ready Vulpix?", she asked. Her partner nodded. "Then let's start this off by using Tail Whip", she said. Vulpix wagged her tail cutely.
Dylan looked at the Vulpix wagging it's tail, doing absolutely nothing. He let out a small laugh. Alright Jem, she doesn't know what's gonna happen, we have the upper hand. Teleport behind it then use Knock-Off, just like with Gastly! Abra teleported a couple feet behind the Vulpix, it's hand giving off a black aura as it started running towards the Vulpix.
"Vulpix, dodge right and use Ember on Jem, then I want you to use Tail Whip again. You can do it girl, I believe in you", Shirona said, her voice remaining calm. Vulpix quickly darted to the right, and fired red-hot Embers at Jem, before wagging her tails adorably. "My, my Dylan. You really must be better than that.", Shirona said, taunting her temporary enemy.
Sherry's comment enraged Dylan, Oh it's on now! Jem, block it with barrier. Then I want you to teleport ABOVE Vulpix, drop down on it with your barrier still active! The flames seemed to bounce off Abra, with a couple getting through to it. Jem be strong! It's only a little fire. Now go! After the barrage was over, she teleported above the Vulpix, with a light blue glow surrounding it as it fell.
Shirona winced as Vulpix hit the ground. "GrrrrrrrRRRRR.....Vulpix use Roar!", Shirona said. She was angry now. Vulpix let out a roar that sent Jem back to her pokeball. "Vulpix, come", she said. Vulpix limped back to her. Shirona sat on her knees and held Vulpix. She started humming a strange, calming tune. Vulpix looked up at her. "Can you continue on? If not, Sentret can take your place for a little while.", she said. Vulpix nodded and closed her eyes. "Alright then, Vulpix, return and rest", she said. Vulpix went into her pokeball. "Ok, Sentret, it's up to you", she said, releasing Sentret. Sentret turned and hugged her face. "Not me! The Gastly!", she said, prying off the pokemon. "Sentreeet!", Sentret said.
Jem was severely injured from recoil of that attack, Thank you for sending her back, it actually helped me. Now I have the advantage here. Ghost vs. Normal. Oh, Sh*t. I can't communicate with Gastly, I hope he knows what to do... Gastly started making a humming noise as rings were let off from his body, he put himself to sleep, but the rings hadn't reached Sentret yet.
Shirona could read Dylan's face and knew he had the advantage. She had planned it that way. She smiled and winked. "Sentret, use Tackle", she said. Sentret ran at Gastly, but ran right through it. "Treet?", the pokemon said, looking around confused. "I know Sentret, I know, just keep Tackling it", she said. Her fingers brushed over Vulpix's pokeball. It shook for a few moments. Shirona simply nodded once, looking back up to see a very confused and irritated Sentret. "I know. Trust me, I know what I'm doing", she said.
Come on Gastly! Wake up! I know you can't hear me, but please! Urgh... The Sentret just kept on Tackling nothing, wasting it's energy. Dylan didn't know what to do, he could either send out Jem then use a Potion on her, or he could wait for the Sentret to tire out/Gastly to wake up. I guess I'll just wait. Dang, this sucks. He thought as he watched Gastly lay there, a small pokemon dashing through it.
Shirona took out Vulpix's pokeball and held it close to her face. "Are you rested enough?", she whispered. The pokeball shook violently. "Thats my girl. Sentret, you've done your duty, return", she said, returning Sentret to her ball. "Let's go Vulpix", she said, releasing the fox pokemon. "Pix, Vulpiiiiix", Vulpix cried. "Alright Vulpix, you know what to do. Show them just what girl power can really do", she said. Vulpix nodded and used Tail Whip, then followed up with an Ember. "Dylan, honestly, did you think I didn't know that Normal types don't affect Ghost Types? I was simply wasting time", she said.
The Ember directly hit the sleeping pokemon. NOO! Gastly Return! Jem, you're out again, sorry, but I have to. He thought, returning Gastly to it's pokeball and letting out Jem. Alright Jem, I'm going to spray you with the potion. Then I want you to teleport behind and run into Knock-Off. Okay? Then I'll switch you out to rest.
"Got it."
Dylan bent down and sprayed Abra with a potion to heal her a little bit. Almost immediately, she teleported into a sprint towards the Vulpix, her hand glowing blackish-purple.
Shirona watched, thinking for a moment. "Vulpix, brace yourself! Then use Ember, as strong as you can possibly make. Then you can rest", she said. Vulpix braced herself and took the hit, then used Ember.
Dylan watched as the flames crept towards Jem. JEM! Hurry, teleport outta there! The psychic pokemon teleported away from the flames, but managed to get burned first. Dylan watched as the flames appeared and disappeared continuously from the Abra. Jem... I'm sorry. Let's not go out without a fight. Do another drop down onto it. I promise I'll get you to a Pokemon Center. The Abra did as he said, teleported above the Vulpix, putting a Barrier around himself. "Dylan, I'm not going to die. No need to make it seem like it..."
Vulpix panted, tired and weakened. "Whoa, time out!!", she called. Shirona did the timeout sign, jogging to her partner. She sat on her knees and picked Vulpix up. "Piiiiixx...", the pokemon said. "I know sweetheart, I know your tired. I promise you can rest after this, but I need you to finish this ok? I'll get Sentret out and you can take a breather", she said. She stood up again and took out Sentret's pokeball. "Come on out Sentret", she said, releasing Sentret. "Sentret, use Tackle and knock Abra out!", Shirona called. She was holding Vulpix and dug into her bag to get a potion. She sprayed it on the scratches and bruises. "Piix!", Vulpix cried. "I know it stings, I'm sorry baby", she said.
Jem, don't worry.. I'll get you to a Pokecenter. I'm so sorry. I'll win this for you. He thought as he watched Sentret give the final blow to her. Alright Gastly, I know you can't hear me, but please, win this for me. He returned the fainted Abra to it's pokeball and sent out Gastly, who had woken up. The Gastly extended it's large tonge, going to lick Sentret.
Shirona recalled Sentret. "Are you ready Vulpix?", She asked. Vulpix twisted and jumped out of her arms. She gave Shirona a look of lets-do-this. Shirona smiled. "Alright Vulpix, Ember Gastly and knock it out!", she said. She was so close to winning.
Gastly! Come on! Do something! ANYTHING! Dylan watched in horror as the flames enveloped Gastly. Sorry I couldn't win this one for you Jem. I'll get better at this, I know I will. As the flames subsided, he saw Gastly lying on the ground, trying to get up. He sprinted towards the pokemon. "Gaaast..," it said trying to get up. He returned the pokemon to it's pokeball and walked over to Sherry. He nodded his head as if saying "Good job." He then pointed behind him towards the pokemon center, his eyes starting to water, I let you guys down.. Sorry
