With the whirlwind of activity going on, Laura found herself off to the side watching, which suited her just fine. Since the "big kids" weren't paying much attention to what she was doing and there was a little time before the festival contest started, she decided to go off and have a little time alone. Since they're going to have fun at the festival anyway, they probably won't even notice that I'm gone. Guess I can use this time to spend time with my Pokemon.
While the others were distracted, Laura walked off and headed for the city's exit. When she reached a nice open area near the road, she let Shelly out of her pokeball. Addressing both Pyro and Shelly, she said, "Ok, guys. How about some last minute training before we battle some trainers?" Before they could even answer, three boys about three or four years older than Laura came into view, walking down the road toward Jubelife.
The taller of the boys, apparently the leader, nudged his two companions and eyed Laura with superiority and interest. Laughing, they followed him as he approached her, his expression full of disdain. "Hey, squirt. You gonna battle at the festival today?" Although irritated with his attitude, she managed a slow nod, after which he nudged his friends and again laughed.
Holding up a pokeball, he challenged her. "How 'bout a practice match? We each use one Pokemon, and the last one standing wins." Her eyes narrowed a bit at this, knowing that he'd picked her because he expected her to be weak. I'll show him his mistake!
"Fine with me," she said, motioning her Shellos to go forward. "Shelly's my choice." She heard the boys roar with laughter as they eyed the less than fourteen lb, sluglike Pokemon.
"That's not a Pokemon," the leader insisted. "This is a Pokemon." Throwing his pokeball, a gray, muscled Pokemon with three ridges on its head appeared. "Take that runt down, Machop!" Looking between the two trainers, one of the other boys agreed to referee. "Everyone ready? Begin!"
"Machop, use your Low Kick to cream that little wimp." Charging forward, the fighting Pokemon aimed a kick toward Shelly's stomach.
"Shelly, use Harden and counter with Mud-Slap." The Shellos stiffened its body just as the kick connected. Only grunting and rubbing his foot a little bit, the Machop didn't seem hardly hurt at all. When she threw a shower of mud in his face, however, he stumbled back, rubbing his eyes and whimpering in pain. Crud.... How can we take it out when Shelly can only attack with Mud-Slap!
Furrowing his face slightly with frustation, the leader shouted, "Shake it off, Machop! Power up with Focus Energy, and try Low Kick again!" Glowing with a light blue aura, the Machop kicked at the Shellos again, this time managing to break through its defenses. Hearing her cry out in pain, Laura realized that the Low Kick scored a critical hit.
"Can you get up, Shell?" Laura asked, hoping that the little Pokemon could get through her first battle. Behind her, she could hear Pyro cheering both of them on.
"Shellos!" Shelly answer, picking herself off the ground. Without even waiting for its trainer to give it a command, the Machop charged at Shelly again, readying itself to give her another kick. Closing her eyes, the Shellos opened her mouth as a blue orb formed in front of it, after which a stream of water shot out of her mouth, crashing into the Machop. Did she just learn Water Pulse?
Seeing the Machop struggling back onto his feet, Laura shouted, "Shelly use Water Pulse once more!" Again the blue orb appeared, followed by a stream of water, knocking the Machop back down. This time he didn't get back up.
After waiting an unappropriately long time, the referee stammered, "M-Machop is u-unable to continue. S-S-Shellos wins!" The leader's face grew red with fury as he accused, "That girl cheated! There's no way her Shellos beat my awesome Machop!"
Picking up her exhausted Shellos, Laura answered coolly, "I didn't cheat. If you didn't waste your time battling people you think are much weaker than you are, Machop would be much better trained."
This statement only enraged the three boys all the more. "Let's teach her a lesson guys," the leader shouted. Each throwing a pokeball, a Sandshew, Piplup, and Budew appeared. Pyro immediately stood in front of Laura to protect her, but she knew that it was no use. I guess Toby's need to find trouble has rubbed off on me....
