Yet again another note came for me. It was from that trainer was I supposed to face, she wanted to see me now instead of after class.
I sighed, although the anxiety and fear I was feeling didn't quite show. "May I be excuse?" I said handing the professor the note.
"Yes. And good luck to you." He said shaking my hand and letting me go.
Entering the battle arena, I saw a battle stage already set up, news reporters and everything.
I girl grabbed my by the hand and said as she dragged me over to the arena, "Come on, Blaze! Get going!"
"Er...ok..." I said caught alittle off guard as I willingly followered her to the crowd. She let the reporters have me, and she silently disappeared.
Trying to answer all the people at once was overwhelming, and I had to shout, "STOP!"
After getting their attention I stated, "Can we just get on with this?"
They silently agreed, put out that I wouldn't answer any of their questions.
Stepping onto the field, I tryed to look as professional as I could, being a junior, and 11 years old, it was considerably easy for me to look confident.
"Now where is my opponent?" I asked bravely hoping that she was a no show. How was I supposed to battle a girl? What happens if I became weak in the knees? What happens if she was cute? How was I supposed to battle then? All those thoughts rushed into my mind at once, as the siluette of a girl stalked into the ring, then the lights flickered on, to show all my worst fears come true. She was pretty, and I was becoming weak in the knees. "Oh great..." I muttered to myself as she stalked up to me.
Noticing that she was the girl that dragged me here, maybe me alittle relaxed, but hardly.
"Are...are...you...." I said trying to force the words out of my mouth.
She giggled, which made me flinch...I had never been laughed at for doing something unintentional before, was she trying to make me feel stupid? "Yes, I'm Elizabeth Standford." She said sticking her hand out so I could shake it.
I blushed severely red, as she laughed at me, and weakly shook her hand. "Shall we start?" I asked wanting to get this awful experience over with.
"Yes, let's!" She said happily as she walked over to her side of the field.
I did the same, and she announced, "This is a 4 on 4 match. Go Charizard!"
"Right! Go Blaze!" I announced not realizing the miss match I put my arcanine into.
"Charizard fly!" She commanded, and her Charizard obeyed loyally.
"Uh...uh...uh..." I said trying to get my mind off how pretty she was, and back to the battle.
Blaze just looked at me waiting for a command, when Charizard came up behind him and tackled him to the ground.
"Blaze crunch!" I said trying to make a comeback, but the charizard had already flown away.
"Come on Blaze." She said alittle disappointedly. "Get with it!" She demanded. "Charizard do that again!" She ordered.
Still paralyzed, I watched helplessly as the charizard came towards Blaze. Snapping out of it at the last minute I yelled, "Take down!"
Blaze then took the battle into his own hands as he jumped onto Charizards back digging his claws into the pokemons back, and driving his teeth into its neck.
