As Nova watched the announcement play on the screen, he couldn’t help but grin as Houndoom was displayed as the fan favorite for the round. Nova took special interest in the fact that the arena will be not only be four times as big, but also will have four different elements to fight in! As Nova’s excitement for the next round built, he didn’t see who his opponent would be, much to his dismay. However, immediately following the round pairings, Brock appeared on screen, explaining the rules for the nest round. Nova frowned as he heard he would have to register a fourth pokemon, ‘I don’t have a fourth pokemon trained…oh well, at least I don’t have to use the fourth’, Nova thought, then abruptly turned around and exited the area.

Nova stared towards the sky as he walked, trying to determine what to do with the free time. Then, from the corner of his eye, Nova caught a flash of light. Looking over at the source of the light, he saw Shelby speaking to some pokemon, presumably hers. ‘Hmm, so that’s the Nidoking that was favorite of round 1 huh? Looks strong, hope I don’t end up facing it next round. That’s not a bad idea she’s got there, I think I’ll send out my pokemon too! In a different area, of course‘, Nova thought, then proceeded to walk towards a ring of trees in the distance, the cover looked good, and it was out of the way too. Nobody would be bothered too much by Gyarados, hopefully. As Nova jogged over, he figured it couldn’t hurt to release his smaller pokemon, and retrieved a pair of pokeballs from his belt, and threw them out in front of him. Aipom and Skitty appeared in a small red flash, hopping excitedly.
“Aipom!”, Nova’s favorite little monkey cried out. The trainer simply laughed at Aipom’s antics, while sweat dropping at the cat’s behavior. She seemed to be showing off something that was beyond Nova’s ability to comprehend. Nova redirected his gaze towards his target area, which was getting ever nearer. Skitty seemed a bit irked that her OBVIOUS beauty was being ignored. Nova payed no special interest, however, and continued jogging.

Not a minute later, and the trio were at the ring of trees.
“Hey, come on out! Gyarados, Houndoom, Machamp!”, Nova said. 3 bursts of light signaled the appearance of the powerhouses of Nova’s team. Looking over each of his team members, Nova decided to speak. “Okay, for Round Three, I have to choose a fourth pokemon to register. So that means, along with Houndoom, Machamp, and Gyarados, one of these two will have to enter also. Your thoughts, guys?”, Nova declared as he pointed to his two small pokemon. The three larger pokemon looked over both Aipom and Skitty. The cat looked positively terrified in the face of the menaces that were her teammates, it soon became apparent she wasn’t the right choice at all, and the pokemon seemed to agree, casting disapproving looks towards Skitty. Aipom, on the other hand, was busily hopping around, punching the air with both hands and tail. ‘He is very…energetic, to say the least. He looks like a fighter, at least’, Nova glanced a Machamp, who nodded back at him, Aipom had the approval of Machamp. ‘A good start’, Nova thought.

“Alright, Aipom! You are in the line-up!”, Nova said, patting Aipom on the shoulder. Aipom giggled for a few seconds, then Gyarados roared her approval as well. Everyone in the area flinched except Machamp and Aipom, surprisingly. Aipom hopped up and down again, then climbed to the top of Nova’s head, grinning.
“Hey, what’re you doing up there?”, Nova asked as he attempted to remove the pokemon from his head. Aipom clung to Nova’s head as if it were a banana, minus the eating part, of course. Nova gave up on removing Aipom, and just as he was about to head back, a familiar red-head appeared.

“Hey, Nova! You’re doing pretty good, I see!”, Lucien complimented.
“Yeah, you could say that, did you enter also?”, Nova asked, redirecting the focus to Lucien, he didn’t like being the center of attention. Lucien shook his head no, claiming he was only here to eat and watch matches. Nova sweat dropped at this, but didn’t press any further.
“Ah, hey, I have to go register my fourth pokemon for Round Three, wanna come?”, Nova asked. Lucien nodded, and Nova returned his pokemon to their pokeballs.
“So, what was with that Aipom sitting on your head?”, Lucien asked, slightly laughing, it must’ve looked funny.
“Nothing special, he just wouldn’t come off so I left him there”, Lucien nodded again, and the walk towards the registrar was filled with silence.

As Nova and Lucien got ever closer to the registering area, Nova pulled his pokedex from his pocket. Lucien looked over to see what Nova was checking, and found a picture of Aipom on the screen. Lucien sighed, remembering Aipom’s reaction towards him earlier. Just as Nova finished the check, he looked up to see someone registering, it looked like Mijaan, but he couldn’t be sure, 'I wonder if he's my next opponent?', Nova thought to himself. As Nova closed the distance between them, the person in question turned and left. But another familiar face greeted him, Shelby. Although, she too finished registering before Nova and Lucien got there. Then, another familiar face was found, Brock!
‘Absolutely crazy…and wasn’t Brock on TV just a little bit ago? How would he get set up so quickly? Weird…’, Nova pondered.

“Hey, I would like to register my fourth pokemon, here it is, and here are the three I will use in the battle”, Nova said as he wrote down his choices. Brock thanked him for registering, as Nova turned to walk away, Lucien following right behind.
“Lucien, you had better watch. You might miss out on some epic battles”, Nova said calmly.
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of missing Round Three”, the redhead replied.

I hurried to the Pokemon Center with excitement. My team was doing very well and I was very proud of them.

"Can I help you?" Nurse Joy asked.

I quickly looked up and took Landscape's and Brakken's Pokeballs off my belt and placed them on a tray. "Yes, can you heal my two Pokemon please?" I asked.

"Of course," Nurse Joy said with a nod. She took the tray of my Pokemon and hurried into the other room.

I just turned to look at the TV monitor that was in the lobby.

"The second round matches are now concluded!" the announcer said. "We will now announce the battles for the next round - match one will be Jess against Shelby, match two will be Nova against Mijaan, match three will be Elliot against Jake, and match four will be Gav against Ant."

My jaw dropped as I realized I would be competing against Shelby. I remembered the first battle against her and I easily won that, but when I was a Dark trainer, I was defeated by her and Mijaan. She had grown strong over the time that we battled and I inticipated that she had caught and even evolved a few of her Pokemon. I heard about the evolution of her Pidgeotto into Pidgeot as well as the evolution of Quilava into Typlosion, but what about her other Pokemon? She was a strong trainer and I had to accept that. There was a good chance I wouldn't make it through this round.

"Ladies and gentlemen. The rules for round 2 will now be announced. Each trainer can now add an additional pokemon to his tournament registration team, Bringing your registered pokemon total to 4. If you do not have 4 pokemon, please contact Nurse joy and you will receive a rental pokemon for the duration of the tournament." I looked up at the monitor as Brock, Gym Leader of Pewter City appeared. "You will select 3 out of your 4 pokemon to battle against your opponent. Much like the battles that I hold in my gym, the rules we be three complete 1 on 1 battles against your opponent, where both trainers return their pokemon at the end of each battle and choose another pokemon from their selected 3, until two battles are won and a winner is decided."

So I was allowed to use another Pokemon. I didn't want to include Fang because he's my newly caught Pokemon, so I should use Victor in my next round.

I turned back to the counter just as Nurse Joy returned with my Pokeballs. "Oh, here are your Pokemon," she said with a smile. I placed the Pokeballs on my belt and turned back to Nurse Joy.

"Could I register my fourth Pokemon please?" I asked.

"Of course," Nurse Joy said sitting down on the seat and beginning to type something into the computer. "What Pokemon is it?"

"A Beedrill," I said. "With the nickname Victor."

Nurse Joy nodded and typed it into the computer. She then looked up to me. "All set." she said. "What Pokemon are you going to use for the next round?"

I leaned down and whispered my choices into her ear. She nodded and typed it in.

"Thank you," I said. I turned around and walked out, ready for the next match against Shelby.

(OOC: This is the battle between Shelby and Jess.)

Finally after what seemed like hours, it was Shelby's time to battle Jess. She stood and walked over to the referee. On the other end of the stadium, she saw Jess standing there. Another referee was talking to her. Shelby's referee led her to one end of the stadium, and suddenly Shelby was standing there facing Jess. She beat Brock where I didn't, Shelby thought. She silently observed the field, she also beat me. Suddenly there was an uproar from the crowd, and without even realizing it the match had begun.

Jess had taken a Pokeball off her belt before Shelby realized it and threw it forward. In a flash of incredibly bright light, her Beedrill buzzed in the air looking ready for the battle. That Beedrill is strong, Shelby thought. It overcame its weaknesses the first time I battled, but this will be different. Shelby took a Pokeball off her belt and threw it forward. In a flash of light, Marshtomp appeared on the field, happily calling out its name.

"Let the match begin!" the referees shouted and the crowd roared.


Shelby regarded the Beedrill carefully. Alright, this Beedrill won't have terribly affective attacks, but still...Shelby let out a breath, knowing that she needed to be careful.

"Marshtomp, let's hit things off with an ice beam!" Shelby called out, knowing the attack would be super affective on Beedrill. Shelby watched the icy blast fly toward Beedrill, hoping against all odds that the attack would hit its mark.

"Dodge it, Victor!" Jess called out. The speedy bug quickly flew out of the way of the ice beam and countered it by flying down at Marshtomp at its top speed.

Shelby almost cursed. How could it get so fast?! she asked herself. "Marshtomp, use-"

But it was too late: the Beedrill smacked Marshtomp right under his chin and sent him flying across the stadium. Marshtomp landed with a loud thud on the ground and got to his feet, whimpering painfully from the fall.


Shelby's teeth snapped shut, tightly clenched. This is not going good for me! She let out a breath then, realizing that in order to win this, she had to stay calm.

"Alright Marshtomp, let's try that one more time!" Shelby shouted. "And this time, you use your speed as well!"

Marshtomp nodded and Shelby watched as it began to build up another stream of ice. Shelby's gaze moved over to Victor, who was buzzing around.

“Now!" Shelby shouted, watching as the ice once more shot in a stream towards Victor.

Use your needles as a barrier!" Jess called out to Victor. The Beedrill quickly pulled its needles together and formed an X. The ice hit his needles full on and when it cleared, ice covered Victor's long needle-hands.

"Yes!" Shelby shouted.

"Wait a minute, Shelby," Jess called out from across the field. Shelby looked up and noticed that Jess was smiling. Finally realizing that Victor wasn't in the spot he was hit, Shelby looked around hesitantly.

"Where'd it go?!" she shouted.

"Victor, now!" Jess shouted in the air. Shelby looked up and saw the Beedrill flying like a rocket down at Marshtomp. Its needles were still in the X shape and Shelby realized that Victor was going to hit Marshtop with the ice.


"Alright, we can deal," Shelby said quietly. "Marshtomp, just stay where you are!"

Jess smirked in a confident way, almost sure that her attack would hit dead on. Suddenly, as Victor drew closer, Shelby finally saw the opening.

"Use Take Down on Victor's arms!" Shelby shouted. Marshtomp leaped off the ground, slamming into Victor.

Shelby saw Victor slam into one of the trees that covered the field, and suddenly she had an idea.

"Victor!" Jess cried out.

"Marshtomp, dive into the water over there!" Shelby called, pointing to the still pond. Marshtomp nodded and ran over, leaping into the still water.


As Marshtomp disappeared under the water, Jess looked over to the trees. "Victor, do what we trained for!" Jess shouted.

Victor launched out from the trees and seemed to be quite hurt. Bruises covered his wings and some ice still remained on his needles.

Victor flew around over the lake and leaned over to dive in, needles pointing forward.

Shelby smiled. "Marshtomp, use Take Down, now!" she shouted. There was a loud splash and Marshtomp had jumped out of the water.

But Victor quickly flew out of the way of Marshtomp's oncoming Take Down.

"Too slow," Jess laughed. "Twinneedle and get it away from the water!" Victor swung both his needles forward and smacked into Marshtomp. The water Pokemon let out a cry and flew away from the water and collided on the ground.


Shelby stayed silent as all of this happened. I knew Marshtomp wasn't exactly the fastest on my team anyway, she thought as she watched Marshtomp skid backwards.

The dust slowly cleared, and Shelby watched as Marshtomp began to slowly push himself up. "Alright buddy, give this one last go! Try for a Muddy Water!" Shelby shouted, hoping for the best, though she almost knew the battle was finished.

Marshtomp raised his hand and quickly focused on the pond nearby. It started to sway and the water pushed up almost like an invisible force was carrying it.

Victor just cocked his head to the side, unknown that the giant wave was rearing up behind him.

"Victor, watch out!" Jess shouted.

Victor only turned his head and was soon hit by the giant tidal wave. Marshtomp jumped up and quickly shot down an Ice Beam at Victor who was trying to get out of the mighty wave.


A small grin spread across Shelby's face as she saw this. Alright! Nice comeback, Marshtomp! Shelby thought enthusiastically. Suddenly Beedrill shot out of the wave and directly for Marshtomp, dodging the ice beam as it went. Shelby blinked in surprise. "Marshtomp, you have to--"

Before she could get the order out, Beedrill slammed into Marshtomp. Shelby watched as her Pokemon got thrown back into the water, resurfacing only to appear to have been defeated. Shelby clenched her teeth as the referee called it in Jess's favor. Jess smirked a bit as she recalled Beedrill. Shelby clenched her teeth and recalled Marshtomp, getting her next Pokemon ready.


The crowd roared excitedly as Jess took out another Pokeball. Shelby noticed that her Pokeballs were stickered with different colors, shapes, and designs. This Pokeball she held had a pink flower with several vines around it.

"Alright Brakken, you're up now!" Jess shouted as she threw the Pokeball forward. In a flash, Jess's giant, and angry Venusaur appeared on the field. It let out a ready roar and faced Shelby.

Dang, Shelby thought. Jess's Venusaur is strong. What Pokemon could I used against it? ...I know! Shelby got a Pokeball off her belt and threw it forward. In a flash, Nidoking appeared, facing Brakken with a determined expression.


Shelby heard the crowd roar. She smiled a bit as she remembered her first battle. Alright, here goes something, Shelby thought as she looked at Nidoking. This time, I'm going to use the stadium as my advantage, she thought. Thought she knew that she had the slight underhand, she was determined to win. "Nidoking, let's start things off with a bang!" Shelby shouted. "Get in there and use dig!"

Nidoking roared and suddenly leaped up in the air, slamming his horn down on the ground and burrowing under. Venusaur looked around in a slightly startled way. Wait for it, Shelby thought.

Jess shook her head and smiled slightly. "Venusaur, just wait to sense the vibrations in the earth," Jess called to her Pokemon.

"Nidoking!" Shelby shouted. Suddenly the stadium began to shake as Nidoking began to trash about under the ground. Venusaur cried out and began to look around rapidly. Venusaur may look very powerful, and may be powerful as well...Shelby thought, analyzing the battle quickly, but it still needs to learn to strategize better! "Now Nidoking!" Shelby shouted. There was a tremendous ripping sound as Nidoking flew out of the ground and slammed up into Venusaur's underbelly. Venusaur cried out as it slammed against a rock a few paces away.


Venusaur fell to the ground flat on his stomach but looked up at Nidoking angrily.

"VENUSAUR!" it roared angrily as vines whipped out from under its giant, leafy back and wrapped around Nidoking. Brakken lifted him up angrily and threw him towards the pond of water.

"Nidoking!" Shelby cried as the giant, purple Pokemon crashed into the water. Shelby knew that Nidoking was part Ground and the water had a big effect on him. Even if Nidoking was a poison type and had a big effect on Venusaur, Shelby realized that Nidoking was even more affected with water than Venusaur was with poison.


Suddenly when Shelby thought that the match was over early, Nidoking roared and burst out of the water, slamming his giant tail on the ground angrily. What? But the water...Shelby thought, blinking. Jess even looked surprised. Shelby let out a breath and the said, "Nidoking, let's go for another dig!"

Nidoking roared and leaped into the water. Several people cried out, Shelby being one of them. Jess blinked, unsure of what had just happened. Venusaur looked puzzled as well. After a few moments of silence, Nidoking leaped up from the ground, slamming into Venusaur's side with his massive horn. Shelby looked at saw that the water in the pond slowly began to drain into a hole in the ground. How did Nidoking do that? Shelby wondered, completey awestruck. The lake was the only body of water left.

"Alright Nidoking, go to the rocks!" Shelby shouted.

"Brakken, grab it with your vines!" Jess called to her Pokemon.


Almost as swift as Victor was, Brakken lashed out its vines but before he could grab Nidoking, Nidoking spun around and grabbed Brakken's vines.

"Yes!" Shelby shouted.

"I was expecting that," Jes shouted. "Use Solarbeam, now!"

Brakken roared and a large beam of white light shot from its giant bulb. Just as Nidoking looked up, the beam hit him and sent him flying into a pile of boulders.

"Nidoking!" Shelby shouted.


Shelby clenched her teeth, that was one of the fastest charged Solarbeam attack I've ever seen. She watched as the dust cleared, small bits of rock falling off of Nidoking. Nidoking roared angrily, staring down Venusaur. Things really aren't looking good for me now, I have to finish this off soon! "Nidoking, get close to it and use double kick!" Shelby shouted. Nidoking nodded and charged towards Venusaur, who now looked slightly drained of energy.

"Brakken, block the attack with your vines!" Jess called.

Shelby smirked, finally! Just as Venusaur grabbed Nidoking with his vines, Shelby shouted, "Nidoking, get close to Venusaur and use Horn Attack!"

Nidoking roared and struggled in Venusaur's grip, until he finally got close enough. Suddenly he slammed his horn directly into Venusaur's giant flower on its back. Venusaur roared in pain, throwing Nidoking away and shaking furiously. Nidoking skidded back against the ground, digging his tail in to stop himself.

"Let's finish this! Nidoking, double kick while Venusaur's still dazed!"


Brakken, shake it off quickly and use Razor Leaf!" Jess shouted quickly as Nidoking jumped.

Brakken shook his head and as he did, he fired several sharp leaves at Nidoking. It hit Nidoking head on and made him fall back.

"Nidoking!" Shelby shouted. "Use Dig!"

Nidoking roared and dug down into the ground.

Jess smiled. "When do you learn?" she asked. "Sense its vibrations, Brakken! It's going to come underneath you!"

Brakken nodded and walked away, but suddenly the ground shook and Nidoking jumped out of the ground, behind Brakken.

"I-Impossible!" Jess shouted.

"NIDOKING!" the purple monster roared as he hit Brakken straight in his back. Brakken roared and wobbled before falling to the ground.

"Brakken!" Jess shouted as the referee called this match to Shelby's favor.


"And when will you learn? I used that tactic earlier, huh?" Shelby called over to Jess. She gave a thumbs up to Nidoking, who roared happily. Both trainers recalled their Pokemon. Many fans were booing, but an equal amount were cheering. Shelby let out a breath and watched as Jess threw her Pokeball, send out her massive Torterra. Shelby felt a sense of déjà vu as she saw this. She chucked her own pokeball as well, staying silent as Typhlosion roared, appearing out of his pokeball.

"Round three...begin!" the referee called, waving his flags.

"Typhlosion, get to the fire area now!" Shelby shouted. Typhlosion roared and hopped down on all fours, running over to the fire area before Torterra could even catch up with him. Now you'll know true speed, Shelby thought, looking fondly at her Pokemon.


Not so fast!" Jess shouted. "Landscape, use Magnitude!"

The Torterra roared and slammed its foot against the ground, sending a large vibration through the earth. The ground split and headed straight for Typlosion and before he could reach the fire arena, rocks were shot up from the Magnitude attack and slammed into Typlosion.

"Baku!" the blue and tan Pokemon shouted painfully as it stumpled around on the ground.

"Typlosion, are you alright?" Shelby shouted. The blue Pokemon got to its feet and nodded.


Shelby frowned as she noticed something. Typhlosion looks way too confident...She crossed her arms then. The fans looked on curiously, wondering what was going on. "Typhlosion, do NOT get overconfident! That'll lose us the match for sure! Remember what happened the first time you fought Jess and her Pokemon?" Shelby asked. Typhlosion looked at the ground, and then slowly nodded.

"Kun! Bakun!" Typhlosion cried.

"Good, now give 'em a flamethrower!" Shelby shouted. Typhlosion roared, and suddenly sent a jet of flame straight out of it's mouth, slamming into Torterra who roared painfully. Jess cried out, shocked that the attack had happened so fast she hadn't been able to think. "Now then, let's go for the fire area!" Shelby called over the roaring flames. As the fire died out, Shelby noticed that the grass around Torterra had begun to burn brightly.

"Torterra, give it another magnitude!" Jess called.

Typhlosion, who was standing on the edge near the lava, cried out as the ground began to shake once more. He fell over, falling into the lava below. Shelby's eyes went wide. "No! Typhlosion!" she shouted. She heard several people gasp, but she was too focused on the safety of her Pokemon.


"Let's finish this!" Jess shouted. "Use Magnitude once more, full power!"

Torterra roared and reared up only to slam both of his front feet into the ground. The ground shook and the ground broke up, trees rooting up from the ground, water draining back into the pond as well as draining through a hole to the lava area.

"Typlosion!" Shelby cried as the water splashed into the lava pit Typlosion fell in. Smoke filed from the pit and the lava lost color, the top changing into a crusty, gray seal.

Shelby gritted her teeth and Jess laughed from across the field. "Looks like its over!" she said.

"Torterra wi-" the referee started, but suddenly, the ground shook and the crust around the lava split.

"Baku!" a roar came from the pit as it exploded upwards. A ball of fire appeared above and landed on the ground. Typlosion raised his hands up to the sky and roared.

The crowd was silent with shock.


Shelby stared at her Pokemon. Typhlosion panted heavily, his coarse fur was singed from the lava. No wonder! Shelby thought suddenly. His fur is so thick...She let out a slow breath. "Typhlosion, are you alright?" Shelby asked.

"Bakun!" Typhlosion roared. The flame on his back suddenly burst to life, roaring in a blaze. Shelby grinned and then suddenly thought of something. Typhlosion stood, and glanced back at her.

"Typhlosion, get behind Torterra by using flame wheel! Push him over to the fire area!" Shelby shouted, watching as almost suddenly Typhlosion burst into pure flame. With a roar, Typhlosion ran towards Torterra, who was frozen while it waited for a command from Jess.


Jess just smiled and did not give a command as Typlosion spun forward. Landscape looked at Typlosion with an angry look.

Once Typlosion was close, Jess called out, "Wood Hammer, then Magnitude!"

Torterra spun quickly and Shelby gasped from the large Pokemon's speed. Typlosion was too shocked but continued forward. Shelby's face formed a mask of shock as Typlosion's flaming body was smacked aside from Torterra. The giant Pokemon then raised its foot and slammed it into the ground, causing another fissure. Almost as soon as Typlosion hit the ground, he was back up in the air as several rocks knocked into him. Shelby was shocked that Typosion's fire didn't do much damage on Torterra's body.

"Torterra's is a ground type, remember Shelby?" Jess shouted from across the field. But Shelby was too preoccupied with Typlosion who shook painfully on the ground.

"Ty-Typlosion?" Shelby shouted.

"Let's finally finish this match, Landscape," Jess shouted. "Bullet Seed."


Dammit, I had forgotten that, Shelby thought silently. She knew that Typhlosion really only had one option left for a grand finale, but Shelby also knew something else. The attack would come with a price, and plus she wasn't sure how powerful it would be because Typhlosion was getting to be so tired. Shelby let out a breath to calm herself, and watched as the bullets flew towards Typhlosion. "Burn 'em away," Shelby called. Typhlosion snorted and set a jet of flame toward the attack, stopping it in its tracks.

"Bakun?" Typhlosion asked, looking back at Shelby from the corner of his eye.

"Burn it to the ground," Shelby stated simply.

Typhlosion roared so suddenly, several people in the crowd gasped. In the blink of an eye, Typhlosion was back by the lava. Jess, finally figuring out what Typhlosion was about to do, ordered another magnitude attack. Typhlosion simply leaped up in the air, shooting a jet of flame in the cracks that the magnitude slowly created. Soon, the rock began to heat up and met, forming the same lava that was now trapped under the cooled rock. This lava travelled down the long crack, heading towards Torterra. Jess told Torterra to move, and it moved aside, heading towards the water area to help cool down the fire.

"BAKUN!" Typhlosion roared, pumping his arms. Suddenly he was diving down straight for the lava, slamming into the crusty surface. Everyone gasped as lava shot up moments later. Rocks slammed into the ground, hitting Torterra as they did. Shelby waited as the smoke from the attack slowly began to clear. I can't afford to get my hopes up, she thought, but nonetheless, she still wanted the match to be over.


When the dust finally cleared, Torterra laid on the ground, out of the match.

"Torterra is unable to battle," the referee called.

"W-What?!" Jess shouted, but quickly calmed herself with a deep breath. "Oh well, I tried." She raised her Pokeball and recalled Landscape as the crowd roared and booed.

The referee walked up to Shelby as she recalled Typlosion. "Congratulations," he said.



Shelby blinked in surprise. I did it...no, we did it, she thought with a smile on her face. "Thank you, sir," Shelby said. She took the token from his hand and turned to Jess. She stuck out her hand and they shook.

Mij headed over to the arena, the fans were cheering on as he entered the stadium, Nova was already there waiting.

'Man...' Mij clenched his fists, thinking to himself as he walked towards the center of the massive stadium. 'I hope my parents are okay! As soon as we're done here, I'll get enough tokens to get a rail card and go to cerulean first thing tomorrow!'

"Hey Mij!" Nova was waving at him, Mij nodded and smiled back. Only then did Mij realise the fans were chanting Nova's name.

"Nova... Nova... Nova..."

'This kid... Despite the fact he doesnt look that great he's already advanced this far, the fans seem to love him and his houndoom... They must have incredible skills!' Mij's thoughts went from the slight hint of fear to overconfidence. 'Nonesense... This battle will surely be over in a matter of minutes. He can't top our skills. He won't deny me MY goals!!'

"Alright... Call out your pokemon!" The referee signalled and both trainers unhooked a pokeball and stood ready. "Remember, win or lose, you both return each pokemon after the first battle and you can't call upon them again."

"Prepare to lose Nova!" Mij shouted... "Let's go Seadra!!

"Gyarados!" Nova called out as he launched a pokeball in the air...

"Seadra Vs Gyarados, battle 1!" The referee watched as the pokemon appeard, he then waved a flag up and down, "BEGIN!"


Watching as Gyarados loomed over its opponent with fierce intimidation, Nova seemed happy enough. But quickly, without receiving orders, Nova's Gyarados charged in for the first attack! Lunging forward with a tackle attack showing relentless fury, Gyarados smashed through the rocky floor as Seadra leaped out of the way, in the direction of the water.
"Gyarados!" Nova called out to his dragon-like powerhouse. "Now's not the time to be reckless! Focus!" The angry Gyarados seemed to calm herself slightly and look back at Nova, then turning to face it's opponent and awaiting instruction.

"Seadra, Maybe we can use that gyarados' temper against it!" Mij called out to his water-type pokemon. "Show her you're stronger than she is! Water gun!"
"Match Seadra's water gun Gyarados!" Nova responded and the two pokemon fired off jets of water at eachother, equal in power they collided and both pokemon were forced back slightly.

"Hydro Pump!" Seadra heard Mijaan's command and shot a massive blast of water at her foe, Who was hit directly but didnt seem to take too much damage.
"Another!" Mij's Seadra could only perform long distance repetative water-attacks and they werent getting him anywhere, So he decided to take advantage of the situation.
"Gyarados, into the water!" Nova called out, Mijaan responded with a similar command and now both pokemon were underwater facing off. Cameras placed underwater gave a distinct visual image of what was happening there. Gyarados and Seadra simply stared eachother down awaiting further commands.

"Hydro Pump!" Commanded the confident Mijaan, who watch as Seadra send a shockwave of water towards Gyarados. 'Hydro pump didnt work that well underwater...'

"Now then, Gyarados lets show them what we've got!" Nova shouted.. But Mijaan was quick to reply.
"Use your speed seadra!" Mij's command was muffled in the water but Seadra managed to work out what he'd said. She shot towards Gyarados with tremendous speed and darted past her. Gyarados became slightly frustrated at this and attempted to tackle the fast-paced seadra, who was unharmed.

"It's too fast Gyarados! Surface quickly!" Nova's command had gyarados leap into the air from the water, almost in slow motion everyone watched Gyarados' body leap from the water and the full length of her snake-like body was in the air. Cameras flashed and the fans cheered as she roared, Eventually crashing into the water head first, it came down on Seadra fast and managed to clench it's teeth into it's foe. Seadra screeched in pain as gyarados continued to dive deeper into the water and eventually collided with the bottom of the pool. When Gyarados released Seadra she quickly shot upwards and leaped onto one of the ice platforms floating above them. Gyarados stayed below and circled the ice platform, then she sunk into the depths of the pool.

"Give it everything you have Gyarados! Don't let up now!" Nova called out. His foe was weakened and now seemed the time to strike.

'Seadra looks in pretty bad shape...' Mij thought to himself. 'I don't know if she can take much more of...' But before he could even think up a strategy, Gyarados smashed through the ice platform with a relentless Hyper Beam attack from below. Smashing ice everywhere and sending seadra high into the air. Gyarados surfaced and watched as seadra fell into the water not too far from her, she sunk her head into the water and watched her foe sink into the water unconcious.

Nova 1 - 0 Mijaan

'...I can't lose yet.' Mij clenched his fist. 'We need to turn this around...'

"Return... Seadra..." Mij hesitated to say as he shot his pokeball's red beam at her. He'd lost the first battle so quickly he was in shock.
"Great job Gyarados!" Nova recalled his pokemon. Winning this battle 1-0, Nova clearly had the advantage here.

"Well... Alright then! Let's see what you make of Princess!" Mij rolled princess's pokeball along the ground and out popped his female poison-type pokemon, Growling and waiting.

"Aipom, it's your turn!" Nova shouted as he threw his normal type pokemon's pokeball into the air. Gasping, the fans clearly expected to see Houndoom in this round after his success in the previous round, but now they had their doubts. Aipom playfully relished in the Spotlight, but it was shortlived as Princess had began closing in. Running on all fours, she stormed towards her foe and quickly leaped up into the air, with a fist full of mud she slapped Aipom across the face and it knocked him back quite a distance, skidding along the ground Princess turned herself to face Aipom once again.

"Alright!!" Mij called out, the sheer force of the attack seemed to have caught Aipom by surpise and he was hit quite hard, which seemed to be giving mij and princess the edge early on this battle. Aipom climbed to it's feet and rubbed its face with it's tail. Mij shouted, "Follow it up with a-"

"Aipom, Double Slap!" Nova interupted shouting at the top of his voice, called out to his Monkey-like pokemon who leaped in and angrily struck Princess across the face with it's tail twice. Princess slapped him back and both the pokemon continued to strike with force. Aipom was dishing out lashing blows for it's small size, Princess didnt quite expect something that looked so young to be so strong, she took a few steps back which left Aipom feeling it had the authority.

"Hang in there Princess!" Mij's voice seemed desperate. He had no idea what Aipom was capable of and it seemed to have backfired. "Try ice beam!"

"Ice beam!?" Nova seemed shocked as he saw the blue poison pokemon shoot ice from her mouth, smashing into Aipom and leaving it stunned slightly. Upon looking up, Aipom saw Princess charging in to follow up the attack, and within seconds she lunged forward and smashed Aipom in the face with a mudslap attack.

"Aipom!" Nova cried out. "Hang in there!"

Aipom, disorientated, climbed back to its feet but it looked like he couldnt see very well, he was stumbling back and forth. In its own confusion it managed to trip up and fall back to the ground.

'This is perfect' Mijaan suddenly triggered an idea in his mind. "Don't let him up Princess. He can't hurt you while he's in this state!"

Sure enough, Princess's mudslaps were as effective as ever, but Aipom couldnt seem to see it's opponent and was smacked around pretty bad, with more mud to the face from each blow, but he wasnt done yet. He leaped into the air and pounded his tail fist into Princess's head as hard as he could and rolled away. Princess flinched quite abit from the attack, she didnt expect it.

"Shake it off!" Mij said, as Aipom seemed to be regaining his sight. "Take him out while you can!"

"Aipom, Double Slap!" Nova commanded and aipom landed two powerful slaps on the nidorina. She was looking startled again, but before Aipom could land another attack, Mij had a command of his own.

"Princess, finish this with another ice beam!" In a flash of blue light, Princess shot an ice beam attack at Aipom who didnt seem to be able to avoid the attack. He became frozen solid.

"Aipom is unable to battle!" The referee waved his flag and Nova looked on in shock. "The winner is Mijaan and his Nidorina!"
The crowd went wild, this meant they'd get to see Houndoom in action during the third battle.

“Aipom, nice job,” Nova said, recalling his pokemon quickly.

“Return Princess,” Mij called, grinning slightly at his Pokémon. 'Alright, we can do this, Umbreon against Houndoom!!' Mij thought, quickly grabbing Umbreon’s pokeball. He tossed it on the stage, and everyone watched as Umbreon came out of the ball in a flash of white light. Some of the fans cheered, but you could tell they were waiting to see Nova’s Houndoom.

Nova had tossed his pokeball as well. Several people gasped as the shape of the light morphed into something that definitely wasn’t a Houndoom. Some of the fans booed, but others gaped in awe of Nova’s Machamp. Mij clenched his teeth and silently cursed. This was totally not a good type match up, especially for the final battle.

“Let the match…begin!” the referee called, sending down his flags.

“Alright Umbreon, let’s start off with Shadow Ball!” Mij called.

Umbreon nodded, and quickly formed a ball of dark energy in his jaws. Moments later, he released the energy, sending it flying towards Machamp at a high speed. Nova ordered Machamp to dodge, and then use Karate Chop. Machamp complied, quickly leaping out of the way of the attack and running towards Umbreon at full speed.

“Umbreon, dodge it!” Mij shouted.

Though Umbreon tried to, Machamp was just too close too fast. His large hand slammed into Umbreon’s back, sending Umbreon crashing to the ground. Mij cried out, shocked that his pokemon had fallen so suddenly. The fans cheered in the background, urging on Machamp and Nova.

“Let’s finish this off!” Nova shouted. He pointed towards the injured Umbreon. “Give it a mega punch attack!”

Mij’s eyes went wide. “No! Umbreon, hurry and roll out of the way!” Umbreon’s eyes snapped open and, just at the last second, he dodged the attack. “Good job! Now hit him with a quick attack!”

Umbreon quickly seemed to vanish from the spot he used to be in. He charged for Machamp, slamming directly into the muscled pokemon’s chest. Machamp gave a cry and fell back against a boulder. Umbreon leaped away quickly, ready to attack again on Mij’s next command.

“Now hit it with a Shadow Ball!” Mij called.

“Machamp, get up and use Counter!” Nova shouted.

Before Machamp could get up, Umbreon had the attack charged and flying over the field. The round ball of dark energy slammed into Machamp, creating an indent with the large pokemon hit a boulder.

Suddenly Machamp roared and stood up. Mij ordered a Faint Attack moments before. Umbreon slammed into Machamp, but the attack was redirected back towards Umbreon. Umbreon cried out as the attack slammed into him, sending him smashing into the ground.

“Machamp, let’s end this with a Mega Punch!” Nova said loudly.

Machamp nodded, quickly assembling the energy in his fist. He ran for Umbreon, giving a loud battle cry. Machamp slammed his fist down, causing the ground to crack and Umbreon to give an almost sickening cry. Several people in the audience cried out, standing up in their seats.

“Umbreon!” Mij cried out, watching with horror in his eyes.

And just like that, it was over. Suddenly time slowed down for Mij as the referee called the match in Nova’s favor. He blinked slowly, the world out of focus. Mij fell to his knees, slamming his fist in the ground, why aren’t I stronger?! He recalled Umbreon silently, and then stood up to go shake hands with Nova.

"Nice battle!" Nova grinned shaking Mijaans hand, but Mijaan simply blanked him. Walking away, mijaan had once again been hit by failure, his overconfidence had gotten the best of him.

Elliot had finished getting his Pokémon healed and headed back to the competitor’s area. When he got there, he decided to look at the screen with the newest listings, but something else caught his attention. He could rent a Pokémon for the battle. He thought that Lentus would need a rest, and before heading over to the registration area, looked who he would be fighting against. Apparently it was someone named Jake, though the name didn’t sound familiar, and he’d be fighting him in the third round. He looked to see what arena they would be fighting in, but instead found out that they would be engaged in all four.

“Interesting...” Elliot thought. “Hopefully I can take advantage of that.”

He decided to head over to the registration place, and register his Pokémon, as well as get a rented one. He decided to rent an Oddish, as he had not yet worked with a grass type, and he had heard that they were usually obedient. Once he registered his three Pokémon, he received the rented Pokémon.

“It’s too bad I won’t be able to introduce myself to it, before the battle starts, because of the stupid rules here.” He thought.

Elliot’s stomach growled, he had been fighting for the better part of the morning, and was already getting hungry. He decided to buy a hot dog, at the cantina, inside the competitor’s area. Because he had enough time, he decided to watch the first battle. It was Shelby vs. Jess. Quite a few people were cheering at the mention of Shelby’s name, and what seemed like a few minutes, Shelby had won the match. Elliot was more engaged with his food than the match however, but did notice the time, and thought it best to head down, to wait for his name to be called.

He noticed another boy, about his age, also waiting, Elliot recognized him as the mouthy kid who had received a Pokémon from Dr. Marley. Though rather than frustrated, or annoyed, he looked determined.

Finally hearing the call for the round three contestants, Elliot entered the tunnel, followed behind by Jake, seeing as no one else was going around this round, he knew who he would be facing. When they finally reached the end, Elliot moved to the points that were intersecting the grass and ice/water arena, and Jake moved to the Fire and ground side amid giant cheers.

“Well since there is only one battle arena now, at least we won’t feel left out.” Elliot thought.

The referee appeared out of the tunnel, and with his mic, announced to the now bigger crowd the round’s start.

“Will both competitors send out their first Pokémon!” He announced.

Elliot sent out the rented Oddish. It turned around as though expectant.

“Hey there Oddish, I hope you don’t mind battling for me, I’m sure you’ll be a great help.” Elliot smiled, as he pulled out his Pokedex. “Now what sort of moves do you have?”

“Oddish knows poison powder, sleep powder, stun spore and mega drain.” The Pokedex said.

“Oddish!” The Oddish said excitedly waiting for the Pokedex to finish.
“Hmmm interesting moves there.” Elliot said inquisitively, wondering about how he can work that into his battle strategy.

In the distance, Elliot saw Jake send out a Poliwhirl. This nearly made Elliot sputter in laughter, a grass type versus a water type? Not the smartest of match ups.

“Begin the match... now!” The referee called, now among yells and cheers of approval of the start of the round, from the crowd.

“Okay Oddish, we’ll start with a grass attack to weaken it faster, use stun spore.” Elliot called.

The Oddish began running towards its opponent on the ground arena portion, Elliot couldn’t hear what Jake had called, but the Poliwhirl was also now heading in the direction of the Oddish, in the ground arena as well. Elliot wanted it to time properly so that Oddish would not be attacked in the process, though didn’t know what Poliwhirl was planning to do.

When noticing the right distance for their attack, Elliot cried “Now!”. The Oddish obeyed, sending out its stun spore, before it could land however, the Poliwhirl sent out a water gun, that hit Oddish, which sent it to the fire side arena. The stun spore still managed to land on Poliwhirl, but at the moment, it was having little affect, as it was now using water gun again.

“Dodge it!” Elliot called out.

The Oddish managed to dodge it, but in the process, was dwelving deeper into the fire portion of the arena.

“Jake must know that he can’t defeat me on moves alone, so he is using the arena against me!” Elliot thought. “Well I’ll just have to drag him out to the grass side.

The Poliwhirl seemed satisfied with the Oddish’s current predicament, though was starting to realize its own limits due to the stun spore. This gave a chance to Elliot.

“Hit it with mega drain, Oddish!” Elliot called.

The Oddish obeyed and hit the paralyzed Poliwhirl, square on, clearly taking much damage, as the move was super effective. In the process, this had also healed Oddish to some extent. Elliot was pleased with this result, and the crowd seemed to realize what was occurring too, as their cheers grew. However the Poliwhirl was not down and out yet, and noticed Jake calling out another move.

“Oddish dodge it!” Elliot called, but it was futile, the Poliwhirl had already succeeded in entrapping the Oddish, with use of the environment. The Poliwhirl then used double slap, several times.

“Agh... no!” Elliot called out. “Oddish mega drain again!”

But it was too late, the Poliwhirl, used pound, which sent towards the fake volcanic like fires, getting burnt in the process, it got up and just managed to move away from the flame, clearly burn on the side. But then it collapsed again.

“Oddish is unable to battle, first part goes to Jake, now please call out your second Pokemon.” The Referee called, amidst cheers.

Elliot and Jake recalled their Pokémon.

“Wow, you almost had it, Jake just had the battlefield down pat.” Elliot spoke to the now absorbed Pokémon.

On the other end of the arena, Elliot saw Jake yelling out loud, for his triumph.

Elliot decided to send out Iggy ((Charmeleon)) as his next Pokémon. It appeared to be excited to battle. When it saw Jake send out its male Nidoran, Iggy’s tail began to burn more fiercely.

“Begin the match!” The referee called.

“Okay Iggy, let’s try to pull off something like we did in the previous round and head towards the grass arena.” Elliot said.

As though anticipating this, like he had seen it before, Jaked called out to his Nidoran to attack using horn attack, before Iggy could get started.

“Okay Iggy, use flamethrower when I tell you to.” Elliot said, watching the Nidoran approaching quickly. As soon as it stepped on the grass, Elliot called out. “Now Iggy!” To which Iggy sent out a jet of flames at Nidoran’s feet. It managed to get hit a bit, but Jake had called out again.

“Jump over it and use horn attack!” Jake called.

“Iggy watch out!” Elliot called out, watching the Nidoran springing its feet back.

Tactical knew that strategy of using an attack at close range, Jake had done it enough times with Hypnotic to predict it. Those words "Wait for me to say when," are all to obvious. Jake knew what to do.

"Jump over it Tactical!!!"

Jake saw Elliot tremble a little bit, as did Charmeleon. That's exactly what Jake wanted though: That fear is the key to the battle, shake someone up enough and they will second guess themselves until they lose.

Tactical leaped right over the Flamethrower directed at him, and positioned itself straight down so that the Horn Attack could do maximum damage to Charmeleon. Elliot didn't react fast enough, and Tactical landed a direct hit to the head. Charmeleon was knocked into the ground, and it pulled itself back up to the ground.

"Alright Iggy! Use Smokescreen!!!" Elliot commanded.

Suddenly, thick black smoke filled the entire arena. No one --including the referee-- could see what was happening. Jake called out to Tactical to be on its feet so it had a chance to move away. All of the sudden, Charmeleon came out with a furious Scratch attack that shot Tactical all the way to the Fire Arena. Jake knew what was going on, as it was the strategy he just used on that Oddish. He had to get away from that fire and towards the water. Tactical didn't have any real type advantage at the fields, but he knew how to use that ice to his advantage.


"Get up Tactical!! Now use Poison Sting on Charmeleon, in the right direction!!"

The right direction? Elliot thought. OH CRAP!!! This time I know what to do though!!

"Charmeleon, avoid the needles and hit it with an Ember attack directly at him!!"

Charmeleon gracefully avoided the Poison Sting, and it shot its Ember into the flying needles. The collison exploded, and brought up a huge cloud of smoke. Jake was shocked, but Elliot was all too ready. When the smoke cleared, Charmeleon had Tactical forced forward with Charmeleon's Scratch attack, over and over again. Tactical couldn't take any more damage.

"HORN ATTACK!!!"

"Dodge it Iggy!!!"

Charmeleon ignored Elliot for some reason. It just stood in place, waiting for Tactical.

What an idiot. Jake thought. He thought he had it locked up in the bag. All of the sudden, Charmeleon used Flamethrower directly on Tactical, within a 2 foot radius. Jake was stunned, as he couldn't believe he didn't see it coming. Tactical fell over, and it couldn't get up.

"Charmeleon is the victor of Round 2! Next victory is the match! Return your Pokemon and send your next ones out!"

Jake swiftly sent out Aether, while Elliot sent out his Pikachu. Neither had any advantage from the field, and it seemed both would try to stick to the Grass field. Jake wanted to shake that up though.

"Sand Attack Aether!"

Jake used the Sand Attack to get Pikachu off of its balance, where Aether could easily move it towards the Rock arena. Electricity failed on the ground, and Jake wanted to use that knowledge to his advantage. Elliot clearly didn't seem to catch on. Pikachu was hit directly, and it tried to wipe the sand of its eyes. Before long, Jake ordered Aether to use Quick Attack upon Pikachu, which knocked it directly into the Rock arena. Jake knew he had the advantage there, and he decided he was going to use it.

Dang it, he's using the field again! Oh well, what he doesn't know is that I have a little trick up my sleeve...Elliot thought, although a tad maniacal.

"Quick Attack Toni!!"

Pikachu shot around the battlefield, and it didn't take long at all for Aether and Jake to lose sight of it. It was way too fast for Aether, as fast as it is already. Jake heard Elliot order another command, but he didn't know what. He saw a white light moving around, and he could tell where Pikachu was. Suddenly, the rocks were being smashed all over the arena at Aether. Pikachu was using Iron Tail of all attacks! Jake had no clue what to do!! Rocks repeadetly badgered Aether all over the place, until it was knocked to the ground. Aether mustered all of its strength to stand back up.

I can't keep up with that rat's speed, and its attacks are too fast. I guess I'll have to just pound it all out...Jake thought.


"Use Quick Attack Aether!"

Aether shot right towards Pikachu, but Elliot didn't command it to move for some reason. The attack landed directly, and Pikachu was launched into a rock, and smashed through it. Aether just sat there. Suddenly, little sparks were shocking Aether.

Perfect! Static is killing him! Now it has no speed, and this is locked up for me. Elliot thought happily.

**** this isn't good! I can't even move now. I don't know what to do!

"Thunderbolt Toni!!"

Jake ordered Aether to move, but it had no more energy left. The Thunderbolt used Aether as a conductor to the ground, and Aether collapsed. It tried to stand up, and it reached its feet. It swiftly fell back down.

"Round 3 goes to Elliot and Pikachu!! Elliot is the winner!!!"

Jake walked up to Aether, gave it a hug, and returned to its Pokeball. Pikachu hopped onto Elliot's shoulder, just like Aether does with Jake. Elliot extended his hand, and Jake shook it.

"That was a great match!" Elliot said.

"I agree. My first loss, but at least it was fun," Jake said with a little grudge. He couldn't believe he was beaten. He was out of the tournament, and he had no way to get both of his Pokemon to evolve.

Jake walked back to the Pokemon Center, and had his Pokemon healed swiftly. He returned to his room to think about the battle, and what to do in the future.

That kid is going down next time...

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ANT VS GAV BATTLE 1:


Ant kicked off the battle using Pikachu whereas Jolteon was Gav's choice. The Match-up was perfect and they got to work. They were evenly matched in speed and power, their attacks sending sharp electric sparks across the ground cutting up bits of stone and rock across the entire stadium. Ant's pikachu was abnormally strong and it all seemed to be down to the small necklace it had around its neck, with a little yellow orb attatched to it. Gav protested against it but the referee said there was nothing wrong with equipping a pokemon with a Light Ball. Everything seemed to be going according to plan for Ant, his pikachu seemed to have been underestimated but what he didnt expect was Jolteon to know agility. It's speed increased almost ten fold and eventually its quick tackling was far too much for pikachu. Ant only had one choice left so he called upon Pikachu to use it's "secret move". Fans have been speculating about Ant and Pikachu's 'secret move' for some time now and many suspected it to know Rain dance, however this was not the case as instead Pikachu began to spark intensely and shot across the arena at amazing speed, out-matching Jolteon with its massive volt tackle attack. Jolteon was smashed into a boulder and rendered unconcious, Pikachu fainted a few moments after that but not before being declared the winner.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ANT VS GAV BATTLE 2:

Pidgeot wasnt the first choice that game to mind for most of the crowd when Ant sent out Charizard, but nonetheless gav chose him. Flaping their wings and ascending to the sky above the stadium both pokemon soared well above the arena before the fight had even kicked off. Charizard began launching fire attacks at it's foe but piedgeot was quick to avoid them, despite it's size. Pidgeot charged in beak first with a quick attack which struck charizard with some force. As charizard was recovering he was struck again with another quick attack which caused him to fall quite a distance. Before hitting the ground however charizard righted himself and flew back upwards, where pidgeot was coming down towards him with speed, before pidgeot could land another attack however charizard launched a flamethrower upwards striking his foe and burning it. Pidgeot fluttered around until it landed on the ground with singed feathers. Charizard was close behind however and smashed Pidgeot into the ground with a mega punch attack. Pidgeot was injured but not about to give up, using its strength it bashed Charizard into the air and shot up a powerful gust attack which blew charizard back some more, setting it up for Pidgeot's Aerial Ace attack, which seemed to be too much for it's fiery foe. Charizard landed injured on the ground and Pidgeot dove in and struck Charizard with another quick attack, finishing it off. Gav's pidgeot had won the match.

THIRD BATTLE:

"Let the third battle begin!" The referee called out. Gav seemed tense as he saw Ant's ivysaur appear from it's pokeball, he'd already decided he was going to use wartortle even if the type matchup was bad.

"Come out Wartortle!" He said. The fans gasped in shock, Could it be that gav had just set up his own loss by using a water pokemon against Ant's grass?

"Bad move, Show em Ivysaur!" Ant called out as he pointed at wartortle who was stood tensing its fists. Ivysaur unleashed a massive Razor leaf attack at it's foe who withdrew into its shell upon command. "Good work ivysaur! Keep wartortle using defensive moves, we can't lose if it doesnt attack. Try a tackle!" Ivysaur began to charge towards it's foe, stomping towards it as Wartortle remained motionless within its shell, the fans held their breath as they waited for the move to collide, their was almost a sudden silence for a second.

"Now, Skullbash!" Wartortle shot towards Ivysaur and smashed it head on, this was planned all along, driving its skull into Ivysaur it seemed that Ivysaur was seriously hurt and ended up being knocked flying. "Great job!" The fans went wild, they'd expected ivysaur to take this fight but Wartortle had already proven it was capable of winning this fight, fortunately for Gav the type match-up didnt seem to effect him much.

"Ivysaur, let's keep it at range so it can't do that again. Try razor leaf!" Ant had realised what to do. But this battle was far from over. Ivysaur climbed upright and wartortle stood ready to right again, As razor leaves came lashing towards wartortle, gav called out a command of his own

"Ice beam!" Gav shouted, the fans suddenly fell silent again as ice shot from wartortle towards ivysaur and smashing it in the face. The cold chill of ice beam was too much for ivysaur and it was knocked flying back into the wall, covered in shards of ice, ivysaur at first seemed frozen solid but was able to move after a few seconds.

"Finish it off with Hydro Pump!" Gav called out, and wartortle stood still for a moment, before lighting up in a veil of white light. As the light passed Blastoise was stood in Wartortles place. Ivysaur climbed out of the icy debris and growled at it's foe, Who shot a massive Hydro Cannon attack at it. Ivysaur quickly rolled out of the way and watched as the water attack shattered a boulder behind him. He was safe, but was panting, blastoise seemd to be recovering from firing the attack and was vulnerable. Suddenly, ivysaur began to glow in the same white light as his opponent, before long, this battle had changed from Wartortle vs Ivysaur, to Blastoise vs Vensaur.

"VE....NUS......" Vensaur angrily cried out at it's foe as it gathered energy, Blastoise was panting by now, that last Hydro cannon attack had taken everything he had and was unable to move. "SAAAAAAAAAAUUUR!!"

Venusaur's Solarbeam attack struck blastoise, lifting him off the ground and sending him flying through boulder after boulder. Blastoise was knocked unconcious. Although he had lost, gav found the fans chanting his name over and over. It seemed like the underdog had become the fan favorite!




Before long however, the entire stadium was covered in shadow. Darkness fell upon Mount Moon as something blocked out the sunlight...

The fans looked up and gasped as they saw the same pokemon that had filled the sky not so long ago, as it flew over the stadium it swooped down towards the stadium and shot out a massive screech. Filling the stadium, the pokemon hovered for a moment whilst screeching, Everyone managed to get a good look at the pokemon.

See the pokemon up close:
Spoiler:




Everyone covered their ears and closed their eyes, and as they did so everyone in the stadium had a horrible vision.

See the vision:

Spoiler:




The vision seemed to be of the same pokemon, yet darker and twisted. As this pokemon flew on passed the stadium, the darkness was lifted and the feeling of terror passed. Something just didnt seem right anymore.

"L..ladies and gentlemen. We have just witness the appearance of the legendary pokemon.. Lugia." The announcer spoke with disbelief, the fans began to mumble to one another as the thud-like wingbeating of lugia faded away.

Everyone fell still and silent for a moment... this was an unusual event.

After her slightly scary battle with Jess, Shelby found that she was shaking while she was sitting in the waiting room of the Pokémon Center. Crap…I can’t believe it got to me that bad, she thought, rubbing her hands together. Moments later, Nurse Joy had come back with a tray containing my pokeballs on it. I thanked her and took them back, setting them on the hooks quietly.

The match had been close—that much Shelby knew. She already knew the three Pokémon she was going to use for the next match. She hoped that it would seem different from her normal choices, but she couldn’t be too sure.

Suddenly she noticed a giant shadow had been cast over the fans. Shelby jogged outside of the Pokémon Center and her eyes went wide. What is that?! She thought, quickly grabbing her Pokedex. It came up with an Unknown Data screen, something that surprised Shelby. Then she thought she saw an even darker creature, almost an exact replica of the first. As soon as it had come, the creature was gone. Shelby heard the announcer say something about Lugia.

That’s Lugia? Shelby wondered, watching as the large Pokémon flew away. Wow…if that was Lugia…then what was the other thing?

"How could we have lost?!" I hissed angrily as I let Victor out of his pokeball. He crossed his needles across his striped chest and flew near me as I headed into the Pokemon Center. "Even if you won against Shelby's Marshtop, Torterra and Venusaur - I mean, Landscape and Brak- aww, to heck with it!" I hissed. "The nicknames are going no where! I'll just call you by your regular names."

Beedrill didn't seem interested in the conversation at all.

"Are you listening to me Beedrill?" I asked. Beedrill wasn't even paying attention.

"Great," I said angrily. "You're not listening to me."

"Miss, please return your Pokemon," someone said.

"Gladly," I hissed, grabbing Beedrill's Pokeball. But suddenly, Beedrill struck out and smacked the Pokeball out of my hand. He spread his wings and flew out of the Pokemon Center.

"Beedrill!" I cried, running after him afte grabbing the his Pokeball. I followed him past the entrance to the tournament stalls and into the forest. When I stopped to catch my breath, I turned back to the tournament and noticed a bright shadow was cast over the dome. I didn't care what it was - I needed to get Beedrill back.

"Beedrill!" I shouted. The forest was quiet.

"Beedrill," I whispered.

"Torterra, come out," I said after a few seconds. After a flash of light, my large partner appeared. He looked at me confused - he seemed to day, "Why aren't you calling me Landscape?"

"I decided not to use the nicknames anymore," I told him. He nodded. "Beedrill ran - er, flew off."

Torterra blinked. "Tor, tor, terra," he roared into the forest.

"Come on, please Torterra, we have to find Beedrill." Torterra just nodded.

It was about an hour into the search and I was very tired.

"Tor?" Torterra asked me as I climbed up onto his back and sat down under the shade of the tree on his back.

"I'm fine," I sniffled as tears started to run down my cheeks. "Really, I am."

Beedrill was a friend of mine - I raised him from a little Weedle, now he has run away from me thinking he's greater than me. How could he feel this way? We were like family - no, we were family.

"Come on Torterra," I said, sniffing. "Let's go back to the Pokemon Center."

Torterra nodded and started back to the Pokemon Center.

Once I reached it, I returned Torterra to his Pokeball and headed off to my room. I didn't want people to see me like this.

Once I reached my room, I placed Beedrill's empty Pokeball in the drawer of my coffee table and took out Seviper's and Venusaur's Pokeballs. I tossed them into the air and in two bright flashes, Seviper and Venusaur sat in the room.

"Seviper, Venusaur, I'm not going to use nicknames anymore, alright?" I sniffed. Venusaur and Seviper looked at each other.

"Venu?" my large, grass Pokemon asked.

Seviper slithered up to my side and placed his head on my chest.

"Beedrill's gone," I said. Venusaur and Seviper looked at me shocked. "He didn't want to be with me anymore. He flew off in the forest. I tried finding him with Torterra but it was no use."

Mij covered his ears at the screeching of the giant pokemon. He recognised it from before the tournament, flying over pewter city. He closed his eyes and saw an image of a vicious darker looking pokemon, but it looked almost similar the the one above the stadium. Stumbling into the trainers lounge and falling to his knee's Mij yelped in pain as he hit his hand on the floor.

"What... was that..." Mij heard the wingbeats of the pokemon getting quieter as it must have been leaving. He climbed onto a chair and sat there panting... that wasnt a very great experience.

ooc: Only those of you who look close enough will see! ;)

News broadcast played around kanto + in the stadium to announce the findings of 2 new pokemon..

An old man appears on screen:
"No doubt you have seen the terrible creature that is lugia!!? Soon lugia will be completely full of darkness and we will have finally completed our goal!

With the help of professor oak, We will be testing our lugia project shortly, please do stay tuned in for updates!!"

Normal programming resumes:

A professor is pointing into a pool of water, but no pokemon can be seen.

"And so, the first new pokemon species migrated to kanto, we have named Gilly! It seems to be a water pokemon and we do not yet know if it evolves. The yellow and blue fish-like creature bares dolphin like features and is rather small. As small as a horsea!

The professor points to a swam of blue-shelled bug pokemon flying over some trees.
Secondly the bug pokemon that has migrated to kanto. Nobody knows where it has originally come from but there a mass numbers of these pokemon spreading throughout Kanto. It will be named appropriately when we have learned more about this pokemon, though we do know it evolves!
We are unsure if the pokemon migration has anything to do with the recent activity of dark trianers.

In any case, Capturing these pokemon may help many of our studies, if anyone happens to capture these pokemon please bring one by my lab in Cerulean city. Thanks!"

The professor who did not mention his name went off the air and the broadcasting of the tournament continued.
