"Terra!" Vince shouted as he watched his Drilbur fly through the air and then land on the ground. This guy was just to tough for him he would have to take out the big guns. As Terra landed hard on the ground the Drilbur tried to get back up but Vince gave Terra a look to just give up.
"You did good Terra return," Vince said and as he began to pull out Terra's pokeball the Drilbur sighed in relief and then passed out. That was one shot this Absol was no joke but Vince knew Blitz would take it out.
"I have to give you some props man your Absol is tough but he's met his match!" Vince exclaimed pulling out Blitz's pokeball. "Let's rock and roll Blitz!" He roared as he tossed the Charizard's pokeball in the air releasing him. The Charizard let out a loud roar and then soared down in front of the Absol a few feet away.
"Now let's show them how strong we are buddy Flamethrower!" Xack ordered. Blitz looked to the small Absol in front of him and smirked before quickly releasing a powerful and large stream of flames from his mouth.
Sol growled irritably as Cam grinned. "Hey thanks! You aren't half bad yourself! Heheh, actually," Cameron scratched his head almost sheepishly. "Sol's one of my lower level Pokemon. I swap my team pretty often though." The CHarizard smirked at Sol, who rolled his eyes. A twinkle entered the Absol's eyes for a brief second. Then the Flamethrower tore threw the air. Sol was ready and yowled ferally as he dodged by a few inches. If he wasn't careful, this guy could actually hurt him. Maybe. Sol yowled again, releasing a Thunderbolt from his horn.
Blitz saw the thunderbolt coming at him and quickly dodged it by flying out of the way. He then quickly flew right up close to the Absol and let loose a thick smokescreen and quickly retreated back to Vince.
"Good work Blitz now let's wrap this Absol up!" The Charizard's trainer growled. "Let's make him extra crispy! Flamethrower!" Vince commanded. Blitz then flew near the thick cloud of smoke and the let loose a powerful Flamethrower into the cloud hoping this would end the Absol.
Absol shook his head in the smoke. God the stuff smelled. "Sol!" Cameron called to the panting Pokemon. "Use your ears!" Absol nodded and listened carefully. He was hurt now and slightly sluggish. All those attacks were starting add up. But... HE forced himself up and fired a Razor Wind at his opponent, destroying the majority of the Flamethrower. He was still hit though and knocked out of the cloud. However, Sol kept staring straight at Charizard from the ground as he got back to his paws. Then an energy beam slashed at Blitz
Geez this Absol was a tough cookie. A tough cookie getting on both Blitz and Vincent's nerves. Blitz was knocked back a bit from the Future Sight attack but took most of the hit and tried to ignore the pain.
"Blitz to the sky!" Vince ordered as the Charizard then took flight high in the air. "Now let it rain Dragon Pulses!" He shouted hoping this would work. Blitz heard what his trainer had commanded and then fired three balls of green energy down upon the Absol below him.z, a Future Sight move.
Absol ran to dodge, successfully avoiding two but the third hit him square in the chest, knocking him to the ground .For a few minutes. "Sol," Cam began quietly. "Are you done?" Sol growled his disapproval of the notion. He was not going down because this kid had finally decided to get serious. He struggled back to his paws. and fired a barrage of Thunderbolts. He was down, but not out. There was no way he was losing to some uppity brat. He was gonna beat down every single one of this brat's Pokemon, no matter what! He was barely stronger than that kid's Charizard but determination would definitely make up for it!
Blitz dodged some of the Thunderbolts but was hit by a few of them. "Blitz shake it off!" Vince shouted as he watched his Charizard land on the ground on one knee. Blitz then shook his head and got back on both feet but then winced in pain.
"Blitz's let's so this Absol not to mess with us come on Flame Burst!" Vince ordered getting frustrated at this Absol. Blitz then took and deep breath and then fired a large burst of flames at the Absol before he dropped back to one knee the Thunderbolts were super effective so they were having their toll on Blitz.
Sol was hit and slammed backward. It was it. SOl could not handle anymore of this. But he was not going down alone! He threw one last Thunderbolt and hit the ground. The Absol had finally fallen. Cameron whistled. "Fi-na--lly. Man did Sol take it like a man! I thought he would have given out at that Drilbur. Oh well." He spun a Pokeball on one finger.
"Blitz! Watch out!" Vince shouted sounding worried as the Absol's Thunderbolt came right at his Charizard. Blitz saw the last electric attack coming at him so he quickly dashed through the air out of the way of the Thunderbolt. As the Absol finally went down Blitz let out a loud victory roar firing a Flamethrower into the air and flapping his wings.
"Alright Blitz!" Xack exclaimed as he then glared to Cameron and smirked. "Alright who's next?" He asked confident in his newly evolved Charizard.
Cameron chuckled. "Ya shouldn't be so confident," he said happily, spinning a Pokeball. "Hm..." He spun a ball and felt Jolt's Pokeball twitch. "No Jolt that's unfair. Oh well," he mumbled. "Let's do this Azuri!" He tossed out a Pokeball, revealing a blue mammal creature, rabbit-like ears twitching.
It let out a cheer and raised its left paw. "Azu!" She was ready to get started.
Cameron grinned. "Don't forget buddy, it took half your team to beat Sol! This won't be that easy!"
When Vince had saw the Champion's next pokemon he let out a disapointing sigh. "Off course it's a water type," He muttered to himself as he then looked to his Charizard who seemed tired.
"We can do this buddy! Now use smokescreen again!" Vince exclaimed. Blitz then flew close the the Azumarill and then let out a thick cloud of smoke. The Charizard then dashed backwards and let out a powerful Dragon Pulse at the water pokemon.
Cameron grinned. "What, you thought I wouldn't? Every advantage dude! Let's go Azuri! Using the same trick doesn't mean a thing for you and your ears! Dig!" Azuri happily dove under the ground to dodge and kept burrowing. Cameron paused for a few seconds then grinned, having gotten an idea. "Let's go Azuri! Up and at'em!" Azuri burst up from the ground, grinning at Charizard from hs left. "Scald!" Azuri puffed up her cheeks and blew a jet of boiling-hot water at the evolved starter.
As Blitz saw the boiling water coming at him he quickly dodged the attack by pushing himself backwards by flapping his wings quickly. "Man that thing is quick we need to watch out Blitz," Vince said as he then looked at the water type. It was quickly alright but was it tough? He then figured that Blitz would win this battle with his speed but mainly power!
"Blitz fly up in the air!" Vince ordered. The Charizard then flew up into the air quickly getting some real distance. "Now Dragon Claw!" He added. The fire type the came sky diving down upon the Azumarill with his right claws glowing a light blue color. He then swung his claw as hard as he could at him.
"Azuri!" Cameron called cheerfully. "Use Aqua Jet!" Azuri bounced as the Dragon Claw went soaring toward her. She leapt up engulfed in water. The jet soared upward toward Blitz's belly. Cameron whooped and cheered. "Go Azuri! You can beat them!" Azuri had saved his butt way back when at the League, proving herself as a powerhouse even as the crybaby Azurill she had been.
As the Azumarill hit Blitz's stomach with the Aqua Jet the Charizard then grabbed hold of the water Pokemon with his Dragon Claw attack. Vince was honestly surprised the Charizard just endured that attack.
"Now Blitz toss em' and use Dragon Pulse!" Vince ordered seeing that Blitz probably couldn't last much longer. The Charizard then spun around a few times before tossing the Azumarill toward the ground and then firing off a Dragon Pulse.
Azuri spun around in the air dizzily. "Azu..." she whined as the Dragon Pulse soared closer. She was incredibly dizzy but she could feel something flying toward her. She focused a litle bit, seeing the blast. Thinking quickly she threw an Ice Beam at it before rushing forward again to slam an Aqua Tail on Blitz's head.
"Careful Azuri!" Cam warned, seeing the slightly disoriented look on his Pokemon's face. Thank god she had good ears.
"Blitz! Are you alright!" Vince cried out as he saw the Aqua Tail make contact with his Charizard's head. The Charizard then slowly floated back to the ground trying to shake off the attack but the toll from fighting the Absol was really getting to him. Then Vince noticed that Blitz's flame on his tail was getting more intense which meant the Blaze ability was in affect.
"Alright! Blitz let's wrap this up one super charged Flamethrower!" Xack ordered. Blitz then let out a intense roar before he flew at the Azumarill getting very close and then the Charizard released a intense flamethrower right at the water Pokemon.
"Azuri Protect!" Azuri obeyed, instantly negating the attack with a transparent green shield. In truth the attack would not have done much to Azuri, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Azu!" Azuri declared, aware of her surroundings again. "Rill!"
Cameron smirked. The crybaby was ready to rock. "Okay Azuri! Scald! And keep your fists ready!" Azuri released another boiling hot jet of water at Blitz the second the Flamethrower seemed to die.
As the boiling water came at the Charizard, Blitz tried his best to dodge it but it skinned his wing causing him to fly a bit sloppy. "Dragon Claw!" Vince ordered as Blitz got closer to the Azumarill. Blitz then sped up and went as fast as he could with his claws glowing blue. As he reached the water pokemon he swung his claws at the Azumarill as hard as he could. Azuri blocked but the claw racked down her arm and she yelped in pain. She shook herself a moment before smiling a bit. Cameron grimaced a little. That was an evil smile. But..." Surf!" Azumarill concentrated, her body glowing a sea blue. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a large, powerful wave of water rose up behind her, washing toward the pair.
As the water came at Blitz the Charizard looked back to his trainer and noticed that the water would hit him as well. Without thinking Blitz flew in front of Vincent and took the entire attack covering his tail and trainer.
"Blitz?" Vince said worried about his Charizard. As he looked up to his Charizard's face Blitz smiled and then fell to the floor next to Vince KO'd. "You did good buddy," Vince sighed as he returned Blitz. He then thought about his next pokemon to use and noticed that Shade was napping on his shoulder.
"Hey wake up!" Vince roared scarring the little fox pokemon.
<Yeah what?!" Shade growled as he yawned. The Zorua then noticed it was his turn to fight. He then carefully jumped down from Vince's shoulder and smirked at the Azumarill in front of him as he then shape shifted into her.
"Shade let's go pursuit!" Vince ordered as he smiled. Maybe with Shade he might get somewhere in this fight. The Azumarill standing before Azuri disappeared and then reappeared behind her and lunged his fist at her.
Cameron smiled at Blitz's movements. Not bad... At the sight o the illusioned Azumarill, Cam smirked. "That would have been more effective if we hadn't seen that coming. Azuri, Brick Break!" Azuri spun as the Pursuit hit her in the face, hoping to hit back.
The Brick Break had hit and it sent the fake Azumarill flying and changing back into a Zorua. <OWWW! That really hurt!> Shade whined as he rubbed his cheek.
"Shade shake it off and use Faint attack!" Vince ordered. The Zorua then hopped up and the disappeared again but this time he quickly reappeared behind the Azumarill and lunged his right claw at her.
There was no avoiding that one. Azuri let out a cry of pain as the dark energy struck. "Rii!" she yelped, turning toward the Zorua and firing an Ice Beam. "You can do it Azuri," Cam encouraged happily. She seemed to be having fun.
Shade was barely able to dodge the Ice beam only dodging it by a bit. <Woah that was close!> Shade exclaimed as he then began to growl at the water pokemon.
"Shade use Fury Swipes!" Xack ordered hoping the Azumarill was getting tired. The Zorua listened and jumped at Azuri with his claws ready to strike and he then started swiping at her.
"Oh great," Vince sighed as he watched the Aqua Jet attack hit the Zorua. Shade had tried to dodge it but he couldn't, now he was down for the count. "Return," He muttered under his breath as he thought of his next pokemon to use. Scissors or Dyno, Dyno wasn't listening so Scissors would have to do.
"I'm counting on you Scissors!" Vince cried out as he tossed the Anorith's pokeball and he came out. "You get the first move Champ," Xack said to Cameron smirking.
"Okay then," the teen stated merrily, pausing for but a second. "Azuri Aqua Jet!" This fight would be over soon, Cam could feel it. Too bad. IT was almost fun.
"Rill!" THe POkemon fired herself in a jet of water straight toward Scissors.
As the Aqua Jet came at Scissors the Anorith quickly jumped out of the way firing a Water Gun at the
Azumarill as he dodged the attack. "Now use Scratch!" Vince ordered his voice sounding as if he lost his fighting spirit.
Scissors then jumped at the water pokemon lunging his claw at her hoping it would do some damage. She didn't really notice the Water Gun. But Azuri thought that Scratch really hurt! It hit her face! She whined a bit then dove underground, popping up behind Scissors and releasing an Ice Beam.
Cam frowned at Vince. "What's the matter dude?
"Scissors dodge and use Scratch again!" Vince ordered. He then looked to the Champ and smiled. "Nothing! You're so going down!" He said regaining his fighting spirit.
"I'll take your word for that dude," Cam replied. "Azuri go!" The Water-type dodged and leapt, slamming down toward Scissors with Brick Break.
"Rii! Rii!" she declared. I'm not losing to a shiny bug!
"Scissors watch out!" Vince shouted as he saw the Brick Break attacking coming at his Anorith. The little fossil pokemon jumped out of the way of the Brick Break and onto the Azumarill's face.
"Now use Scratch!" Xack ordered. The Anorith then began to scratch the Azumarill's face before he then jumped off and fired a Water Gun attack. "Good Job now use Harden and prepare yourself for the next attack!" Luna added.
Azuri threw the Anorith off and ignored the Water Gun. Seeing it had used Harden, Azuri grinned and concentrated, glowing bright blue again in Surf. A wave formed in front of Azuri, obscuring her.
Cam winced. Oh this wouldn't be pretty. Harden was fine on physical attacks but... that wave was gonna be a mess. Azuri must be bored.
"Oh my geezz!" Vince exclaimed as he saw that the surf was coming at him also. He and his Scissors started run out of the way of the Surf attack. Vince had jumped out of the way but Scissors got consumed in the attack.
"Scissors!" Vince cried out as the water had disappeared the Anorith was KO'd. The black and white haired trainer sighed and returned his pokemon. "It's now all up to you! Let's go Dyno!" Xack exclaimed tossing the dragon pokemon's pokeball into the battlefield. As the Deino popped out it seemed he wanted to cause a ruckus but Vince gave him a stern look and Dyno stood awaiting orders.
"Let's go use Earth Power!" Dyno's trainer ordered. Dyno then roared and the slammed the ground causing it to shake and crack with magma erupting from the cracks.
Azuri yelped and bounced away from the attack, the magma singing her tail. "Ri!! Ril!" She charged around it and aimed for the creature's back with a Brick Break.
"Last bit then," Cam sighed. "It was interestin'."
Dyno might be blind but he could definitely hear the water pokemom coming at him "Quick Dyno turn around and fire off a Dark Pulse!" Vince shouted worried about his little dark type. Dyno then fired off a power pulse or dark energy rings from his mouth at Azuri.
"Counter!" Cam called happily. Azuri let out a happy squeal and obeyed, releasing an Ice Beam at the Dark Pulse. The attack hit and she fell toward the ground, bouncing back up. Was she starting to get tired? Maybe. Cameron was watching this last fight curiously. Deinos were reckless Pokemon due to their blindness. If you didn't watch them carefully, they could crack their own skulls open. Not a nice thought.
Dyno had jumped out of the away of the Ice Beam and Dark Pulse's explosion and then let out a small roar. "All right you're all riled up!" Vince exclaimed a big smiling growing across his face. "Now Screech!" He commanded as he then plugged his ears. The little dragon pokemon then let out a deafening screech from his mouth.
"Now Dark Pulse!" Xack shouted hoping Dyno could hear him. The Deino did and he fired another Dark Pulse from his mouth after he stopped screeching.
Azuri heard the word Screech and tried rolling up her ears. It didn't work and she winced in pain. It hurt a lot but she could still see that Dark Pulse. She paused a moment, then disappeared underground. Gotta dig, gotta dig... she thought this to get the annoying sound from her ears as she dug. Then, hoping she had found the dragon underground, burst up in a Brick Break.
"Dyno!" Vince shouted as he saw the Azumarill come out of the ground using a Brick Break attack. "Fire off a Dark Pulse now!" He ordered, the Deino then as the Brick Break attack was about to hit him fired off a Dark Pulse at the Azumarill but he was still hit by the Brick Break so it sent him flying into the air and the crashing back down hard.
"You alright!" Vince asked as he watched Dyno struggle to get back up. Xack's eyes then turned to the Azumarill to see what had happened to it.
Azuri struggled back up from being thrown back underground. It was injured... but not down for the count. Its ears flopped down a bit as she got up, glaring at Dyno. She fired an Ice Beam at the strugging Dragon. She would take this guy down with her.
Dyno laughed at the Azumarill it had a lot of spunk and he liked that. Without any order Dyno fired his last and possibly most powerful Dark Pulse at the Azumarill causing the two attacks to collide and create an explosion.
"Dyno!" Xack shouted as he blocked his face from all the smoke.
Azuri decided on a do or die move right then and there. As the two attacks collided she charged through the explosion, Brick Break at the ready. Her teeth clenched tightly as she ran through, emerging from the blast and charging forward toward Dyno determinedly. "Ril!"
"Go for it Azuri!" Cameron called energetically. "It is do-or -die!"
"DYNO!" Vince shouted as he saw the Azumarill coming in for the final hit. Dyno was honestly surprised with Azuri and smiled before he let out a roar and fired off a Dragon Rage attack.
"Dyno!" Xack shouted again as he watched what the outcome would be.
Azuri didn't flinch, crying out and digging underneath the attack. She popped up quickly, growling and panting as she hurried. She didn't have much energy left and knew it. Making one final leap, she leapt over the Deino's head and fired an Ice Beam.
Dyno smirked as he turned his head to see the Ice Beam coming at me. <Clever Girl> He said to himself as he tried to jump out of the way. As the Ice Beam was about to hit him he fire off a Dark Pulse, the Ice Beam then hit him causing him flying across the ground.
Azuri hit the ground also, the rabbit collapsed on the ground, unmoving. Her breaths were raspy and tired and Cam returned her with a smile. "Good work," he told her and grinned at Vince. "Nice battle dude .You've got potential. Now hate to fight and run but I am being glared at. Later!"
~~
Rama rose back up calmly, glancing at Ellie. "Hah, she thinks we're friends." Ellie didn't reply. She wasn't even looking at them really, violet eyes observing everyone around her casually. Rama smirked and turned back to Thyme and walked over, pausing to whisper so only she could hear. "You're the one who hurt Duster on the boat." He stepped back and paused, waiting, barely even noticing the vines hit his head. "Now I don't like that little furball but... even I know that's not nice."
He chuckled at her threat. "You're so cute when you try to scare people. Care to back up that little threat of yours?" Ellie's violet eyes flickered toward them and away, tail wrapped around her small paws.
"Rama..." she said quietly. "Don't be rash."
"Don't defend cowards Ellie. It doesn't suit you. I bet it was over something petty too."
