Willpower's attack connected! It hit the Riolu full force! But, the Riolu took the hit, deftly turned around, and hit the Darumaka back. This power was double the power of Willpower's own power, so he knew this was it. He got blasted back, and promptly fainted. "Good job Darumaka..." Her first battle at the Trainer Academy... and it was a loss... There really were many strong trainers here... Alix was stronger than she seemed.
"...umm...good battle."
And she walked away, hoping nobody was watching her. She was always like this after a loss. Brooding on the last battle. Replaying it over and over again. Thinking about what she did wrong. She wandered even deeper in the forest, certain she could find her way back. Then she sent out all her pokemon. "Ok, it's time for training..."
She looked around, making sure nobody was there, then she started giving commands to her pokemon. "Willpower, keep hitting that tree with Fire Punch!" "Teamwork, release a Solarbeam as fast as you can!" "Focus, hit that leaf 50 meters, 11:00!" and the like. She had to get stronger. It still shocked her that Alix's Riolu could withstand that Superpower. She had to get stronger, to catch up with the others...
