Xavier
Xavier swalloed the remainder of his pastry as the other held outstretched to Valorie, dangled loosely.
Perhaps she had not heard him? She seemed entranced with something and hugged her dragonair after a moment of staring around the room.
"Ummmm... I'll take that as a no then." Josh said, he threw the danish up in the air and Maria jumped up and grabbed it, guzzling it down like liquid. She had an afinity for sweet things.
Xavier watched Mark and the strange boy, Quinn, battle. They fought with the spirit and will he had come to expect from other trainers and seeing them battle got him hyped.
He scanned the room in search of an opponent. The room was packed with students and all of them looked strong. Josh didn't know where to begin. Suddenly a boy knocked into him and sent him sprawling on the floor. The boy didn't apologise or even recognise Xaviers precense he just kept walking. As Xavier lifted himself up Maria grabbed the assaulters trouser leg and stopped him from dragging her off.
"Get off me you stupid rodent!" The boy said shaking his leg.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that you prude!" Xavier said, he was stood up now.
"Oh great another loser for me to beat... what, you want to battle?" The boy said tiresomley.
"With you? Not worth the effort, I like my oponents to be honourable and you sir are not." Xavier said lifting Maria up.
"What are you afraid?" The boy asked.
"No, I'm just not bothered battling the likes of..." Xavier stopped as Maria tugged at his sleeve from his arms.
She had a look of determination and spirit in her eyes.
"Hmmmm... Alright then." Xavier said.
"I accept your challenge!" Xavier cried a little over-dramatically.
"Alright then lets go." The boy said leading the way to a plain dirt battlefield, with the general ligns marked out at the edges and center.

Maria
Maria walked alongside her trainer as they walked towards the battlefield.
She was glad he had listened to her, she didn't like being pushed around, she was nice most of the tim but when it came to those she cared about and her own dignity and respect she was very determined to defend both of the formentioned and would esily dessert her usual personality if the need arised.
She stood in front of her trainer on the battlefield as the he faced his opponent. They decided on a simple three on three single battle style and prepared for the battle ahead.

Xavier & Maria
"Whats your pokemon then?" The arogant trainer asked.
"Im using my Eevee Maria." Xavier replied calmly.
"Alrighty then... Lets go Sawk!" The trainer flung his pokeball to reveal the blue martial arts pokemon who was the first to fight.
Maria winced a little as the fighting type pokemon came out, it was a bad matchup but she would try her best.
"Now Sawk, Low kick!" The fighting pokemon dropped low and swung its leg towards Maria.
"Dodge Maria!" Xavier cried.
Maria leapt through the air and landed a small distance away.
"Maria now tail whip!" Maria ran forward and smacked her tail off the sawks face causing him to stagger backwards and lower his defenses.
"Tackle!" Xavier commanded.
Maria ran and plunged herself full force into Sawks stomach knocking him back and doin significant damage due to hi lowered defenses. However in abattle theres no time to relax.
In not ime at all the next order was bellowed and Maa was set lying backwards from a karate chop.
Sawk came charging again and Maria focused herself and waited for her trainers commands.
"Now sweet kiss!" Josh cried.
Maria span away from Sawks attacks causing him to slip and fall. Maria took her chance and pecked Sawk on the cheek.
Sawks next order was bellowed but the confused pokemon simply punched himself in the face in confusion. However Sawk was quick to come to and a drain puch was launched at Maria. On Xaviers order hower she dodged however was then unprepard ora low kick which shot her backwards.
The rude trainer smiled however stopped when he saw Xavier smiling to.
"Now Maria like we practised!" Xavier cried.
Maria span in the air and used a quick attack to go faster. Stopping Sawk from being able to hit her, as soon as she landed her built up speed launched her forward directly into Sawks gut. The fighting pokemon was knocked back and fell to the ground Ko'd. Maria was exhausted however so Xavier returned her.
"Not bad!" The other trainer shouted.
"But no more mister nice guy." the trainer sent out his next pokemon, a chancy and Xavier, hoping for his own type matchup this time, sent out Riley. This was Rileys first battle in against a non-wild pokemon so he hoped he would be alright, he seemed however bursting with energy and excitement.
Xavier & Riley
This time Xavier got the first move and he quickly shouted at Riley for a quick attack, Riley did as he was told and charged into the chansey. It didn't do much damage but it more so that Riley could get closer to his target.
The chansey unleashed a double slap however and Riley was repeatedly smacked back and forth. Through the multiple blows however Riley heard his masters order for a low kick then karate chop.
As chansyey leaned in to hit Riley again he ducked low matrix style and swiped with his leg, knocking chansey on its back. He then leaped up and brought a karate chop down on its stomach. Riley bounced back as the injured chansey pulled itself up. Riley ran into another karate chop however fell over halfway through.
Josh was totally baffled until he realised the chansey was singing a quick egg bomb was all it took to finish Riley off and Xavier returned him to his pokeball as he was swiftly knocked out.
The two trainers said nothing but Xaviers oponent had a slight smirk.
Xavier & Blaze
Xavier launched his last pokeball up into the air and Blaze sat in an upright position. His head tilited high as the chansey ran at him.
"Now Blaze Flamethrower!" The fire pokemon launched a stream of flame but the chansey leapt out of the way.
In anger Blaze fired flamethrower after flamethrower at the Chansey but it kept dodging.
Fueled by an iresistable burning spirit of anger and fire in his gut and a strong knowing and willing to get closer to the chansey while attacking Blaze instinctively rolled into a ball and covered itself in flame. He rolled towards the chansey at an exhilerating speed.
Blaze collided and burnt the chanseys entire front side, it didn't completely finish it off but the damage from the burn made it cringe for just long enough for Xavier to make his move.
"Alright Blaze you learned flame wheel!" This is when Xavier saw his chance.
"Now Blaze Flame wheel once more!" Blaze rolled towards the chansey at incredible speed. The chansey had no time to move, however as a last ditch effort bomber style move it used an egg bomb as Blaze collided taking away about half his health. It was Xaviers opponets final pokemon and an Arbok was sent out as the opponent.
"Great another worm..." Blaze grunted.
"I'll constrict your throat you pitiful pokemon." The arbok went for Blaze with a bind at his masters command and grabbed Blaze around the neck.
Blaze smiled.
"Now Blaze fire fang!" Xavier cried.
Blaze charged his fangs full of flaming energy and buried them in the arboks body.
The arbok was forced to release out of pain. However he wasn't down yet, suddenly an unexpected poison tail was launched and Blaze was down for the count.
He managed to half stand up however he had been poisoned by the last move and was taken out by it before he could react further. Xavier withdrew Blaze and sent out Maria to face their final opponent.
Xavier & Maria
There were no words or expressions between trainers this time, it was just them, their pokemon and the battlefield.
"Alright Maria! Quick attack!" Maria charged and jumped at the Arbok.
"Arbok Crunch!" The snake pokemon made a quick bite for Maria however she barely managed to move and plow herself down on the arboks head, a poison tail however came up from behind and pinned Maria to the ground by her neck.
"Arbok... Crunch her!" Arbok glared over maria and bore its fangs. It brought its head down and it looked like it was over but Maria quickly focused the energy of a tackle into her front paws and shoved the arboks glowing purple poison tail into its own mouth. The Arbok screamed in pain and was launched backwards by its own crunch and poison tail.
"Now finish it Maria!!!" Xavier cried.
Maria nodded and used quick attack to plough herself into the Arbok and knock it back with a spectacular knockout
Maria
Maria stood beaten and tired as her opponents limp body lay knocked out a few feet away from her. That was a very close call, she was glad that Xavier had trainedher not to panic in situations like that. She sat down she was panting heavily and she could tell her HP was incredilously low. She felt ready to pass out but Xavier was beside her in an instant. He sprayed a hyper potion on her and she felt herself almost instantaeneously rejuvinate.
Xavier smiled at her and she smiled back as she was returned to the peace and relaxation of her pokeball.
Xavier
Xavier stood up and smiled as Maria was returned to her pokeball. The other trainer had fallen to his knees at his position on the field as soon as he returned his Arbok.
"I don't understand... I just don't understand... I never lose, how did I lose?" He murmured.
"Well thats simple... you're a jerk." Xavier said plain as day, no sugarcoating, no hiding for niceness sake.
"W...What?!" The boy shouted enraged.
"You don't care about others and by the cruel and unfrogiving way you battled I don't think you care much about your pokemon either..." Xavier said.
"Honestly I'm surprised you've won any battles at all." Xavier turned around, raised his hand and looked over his shoulder as he walked away.
"People like you don't win because you don't deserve to."
The other trainer was left open-mouthed as Xavier left.
