Private/Closed Hoenn League tournament

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

Ella looked up on the screen and realised she was next, so she stopped with her plan. "Looks like I'm next..." Ella said
"Good luck!" Patrick shouted, desperately to her, as she left him.
A tough looking man was facing Ella. "Go Wishcash!" Shouted the man.
"Go Rose Thorn!" A Roselia appeared in front of Ella. This was one of her substitutes and for a while she could not agree on whether to call her Rose or Thorn, so she combined the names.
A pool appeared where Wishcash had spawned. Wishcash swam in the water. Rose Thorn remained on the surface.
"Whirlpool!" Wishcash swam in circles 100s of times at a fast rate and then a huge tornado like whirlpool came from the water. It sucked Rose Thorn into it and she struggled.
"Try to get out of-"
"Ice beam!" The man interrupted her. Wishcashed fired towards Rose Thorn and the whirlpool froze with her.
"Quick get out!"
"Earthquake!" Wishcash slammed at the floor several times and the ice structure fell down and broke. Rose Thorn went flying. She was still frozen but could hear Ella's commands. She had realised that she had not actually shouted a proper move to Rose Thorn. She was severly damaged.
"Giga drain! I need you!" Then Rose Thorn started to break out of the ice.
"You can do it Ella, I believe in you!" Patrick shouted from the stands, where he had now taken his place to. Rose Thorn broke out of the ice and drained Wishcash of a lot of energy. Rose Thorn was stronger now.
"Petal Dance!" Petals of Flowers appeared around Rose Thorn and she pushed them towards Wishcash. Wishcash flew out of the water and into a wall all because of the petal attack. Ella looked at the fainted Wishcash. She had won.

"Well done! You were great! You didn't give up until the last minute!" This was one of the many positive remarks Patrick gave Ella as she made her way to the stand. Both of them knew Patrick was up next. The man with the Wishcash gave Patrick and look then ran off.

Now it was Patrick's time to battle. His opponent seemed to be late, as Patrick took to the battlefield and then saw a businessman run into the stadium. "Sorry!" The businessman exclaimed.
"It's fine..." Patrick replied.
"Let's do this, go Volbeat!"
"Go Glyder!" A Swellow stood firmly next to Patrick.

 

[Jagson]

Drew clapped as he saw Ella win her match. Then he got ready to watch Patrick's match.
" You don't consider them friends." Tess said. " Yet you cheer for them as if you were."
" I cheer at the end of every battle." Drew said. " Doesn't mean I care about whoever fought. Besides why should I be friends with people who continually shut down any chance I make to start a conversation with?"

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

"Maybe it's because you keep talking about their relationship between them..." Jonas said, who was behind Drew.
(Patrick)
"Use steel wing!" Glyder zoomed towards Volbeat and hit it with a hard wing. "And again!" Glyder wacked at Volbeat again but this time he missed.
"Zen Headbutt!" Voltbeat slammed it's tiny head into Glyder, dealing minimal damage. "Now Tail glow!" Volbeat's tail became very bright.
"Brave bird!"
"Dodge it!" Volbeat flew out of the way. "Signal beam!" A glowing beam came from Volbeat and hit Glyder.
"Brave bird again!" Gyder did not hit Volbeat and crashed.
"Bug buzz, then signal beam!" A wave of energy hit Glyder then another glowing beam came at him.
"Dodge it and finish them with brave bird!" Glyder flew out of the way and this time, when Volbeat dodged the attack, Glyder swerved round and came and hit Volbeat on his back. Volbeat fainted
"Patrick is the winner!" The announcer roared and Ella cheered. The businessman immediately shook Patrick's hand and then raced towards a woman in the crowd who was about the same age as him.
"Barry, no!" She cried. The man confessed to her his attraction to her in front of the whole crowd.
"It's been 4 years! We are perfect for each other!" Then two police officers ran into the stadium and grabbed him and pulled him away.
"Where's he going?" She asked.
"We got reports that Barry only had 7 badges. We came here."
"Please....he doesn't deserve this..."
"We already had our battle...nothing changes...does it?" Patrick asked, before going to see Ella.
"Not really, considering you won anyway..."

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri who spectators what was going down the trainers room looked down "People are getting screwed in this tournament left and right..." Kiri said and took a deep breath and stared at Patrick yet another person which Kiri would eventually have to fight
"Everyone seems so strong...this is gong to be exciting" Kiri said with anticipation and looked over to Pichu who nodded in agreement

 

[Iblockya]

"You are up next." Dennis said. "Yes but I won't take long." Yannick replied. "Good luck." Dennis added.
Yannick walked up to the field. His opponent was middle aged man. The ref explained the rules like he does before every match. "Choose your Pokemon for this 1 on 1 battle." He said. "Go Armaldo!" Yannick shouted. "Tropius I'm counting on you!" The man threw his Pokeball.
"Start the battle!" The ref said. "Use Stone Edge!" Yannick said calm. "Razor Leaf!" The man responded. The attacks collided but the Stone Edge was stronger. "Now use Rapid Spin then Knock Off to end this battle." Yannick said and then sat down on the ground yawning as Armaldo got next to Tropius hitting it with Rapid Spin and Knock Off right after the first attack. "Tropius is unable to battle Armaldo and Yannick win!" The ref announced. Yannick stood up returned Armaldo to his Pokeball and left the field.

 

[Retro Master]

"Wow, Yannick should be proud of himself he won that match. After seeing that, there's no way I'll ever to lose to him.", exclaimed Riley who was watching the match.

"Anyways, I'm getting hungry. Hey Kiri, you want to go grab some lunch at the food court?", Riley asked.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri looked over Guess he can be pretty confident too Kiri looked up and heard his stomach rumble, he chuckled a bit and clicked his tongue he got up and looked at Riley "Yeah that sounds good, I haven't eaten since coming back to Hornn" Kiri said as Pichu rubbed his small stomach and "Pi..."

 

[Retro Master]

"Let's go then.", stated Riley as he got up.

The food court wasn't far from the trainer lounge. It was a huge food court with many different food stands with groups of seats and tables. The lines weren't as long since most people were in the stands watching the matches. "So what should we get? It looks like they have everything here.", Riley asked Kiri.

 

[Jagson]

" No surprise there." Drew thought as he saw Yannick win his match. " I wonder If I'll have to battle him this time." He just shrug off the thought as he closed his eyes. and allowed sleep to take him.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri drooled extremly hungry, as he automatically went to the table full of cooked meats, taking advantage of the free food the trainers participating in the tournament get, right when Riley finished his sentence Kiri walked up from behind him with two plats of various meats, Pichu nibbled on a small green PokePuff which was set for the Pokemon

 

[Yaspen]

Aspen walked out, her entire party of intimidating pokemon surrounding her like bodyguards, practically daring anyone to try something. Aspen laughed. "Guys, save it for the battles! Just kinda relax, but prepare to fight in the tournament. Got it?" Her pokemon nodded. Gen slid into a shadow. Probably going out to watch and learn about the competition, Aspen thought. Chu saw Kiri and Pichu over at a table, and ran over to greet its friend. Esp and Twilight went over to say hi and meet Chu's buddy. "Alright guys, Ashley and I are gonna get some food!" I called, and waved to Kiri before heading to a table absolutely heaping with food. "Oh, this looks so good!" she exclaimed, and grabbed a burger. She also got some pokepuffs for her team. Gen reappeared out of the shadows and jumped over, brimming with excitement. Aspen laughed and walked over to the table where Kiri was sitting. "Hey, how's it going?" she asked. "Congrats on winning your battle, by the way!"

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

Patrick, Ella, Jonas and Neve all regrouped and went to the canteen to get food. They sat on the same table Aspen, Kiri and Riley were. "Hi!" Ella shouted.
"Who's up next?" Patrick asked.
"I'm not sure...but some of those battles, just look at the variance i mean some of them ended in one or two hits..." Jonas roared.
"But then...some of them lasted longer..." Neve said.
"I don't know what that's saying..." Ella responded. "We all have different strengths and weaknesses, but...the true strengths and the true weaknesses haven't been revealed yet..."

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri began eating slowly sack ring the flavor, letting a few breaths to breath Kiri's Pichu sat on the table next to Kiri munching on his PokePuff's as they occasionally took eachother's food to test eachothers taste

Pichu turned his head to spot the Raichu he met before, he waved as the other Pokemon came to him "Pichu Pichu!" He shouted as they came closer he prepared to give them some PokePuffs as well

Kiri waves to Aspen as she sat down "Thanks, but it's only the first of many till I win the whole thing...oh I saw your battle too! You were amazin-"

Kiri couldn't help but overhear the other people that were at their table could they be competitors? If so they sound pretty serious and into battling a lot Kiri thought as he glanced at the others and then back to Aspen

 

[Retro Master]

Riley went over to the table with his food and some of the higher quality poke puffs for his Pokemon. He was about to put the poke puffs away when Scizor came out it's poke ball and grabbed them from his hands. "Scizor!", it said which meant, "It's mine." "Hey, atleast thank me. It was 100 per piece.", exclaimed Riley. Scizor ignored Riley and bit a chunk out of the poke puff. It seemed to enjoy it.

He noticed that there were more people there other than him and Kiri. "Where did you guys all come from?! I turn my back for one second and all of a sudden there's a group of people here.", he exclaimed.

Then he looked at his food. He had went to many of the stands and had a variety of things on his plate. He tried all of the different servings of foods and enjoyed all of them.

 

[Yaspen]

"Thanks! You did a whole lot better, though." Aspen was kind of worried that she wasn't going to make it far in this tournament. Chu dug into a pokepuff from the plate on the table, Esp and Gen following suit. Ashley, Twilight, and Aras ate in a more dignified way, probably trying to look professional for the tournament. Aspen took a bite out of her burger. "Wow! These are delicious!" She exclaimed.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri bit into an identical sandwich, as he had a face of satisfaction across his face "God..this really is good!"
Kiri looked up to Riley and raised his eyebrows in agreement "I saved your seat though don't worry

Kiri's Pichu waved at the Scizor, with a half eaten PokePuff in his hand and Kiri looked back at Aspen "You'll be fine, the way I always stay confident is to always think I'll get an expierence from every battle to make me stronger then the next man"

 

[Retro Master]

Scizor waved back at the Pichu as it finished up the poke puff. "Wow, that was good.", stated Riley as he finished up his food. "Now I'm ready for battle!", he exclaimed as he stood up.

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

"Hold on Mr.Johto League winner....you don't have a battle next!" Jonas exclaimed to Riley.
"You know I looked at the schedule and the person who was supposed to be here Is gone..." Patrick said. "I also looked and Aston is on here! He too got away."
Ella and Jonas looked at Patrick.

 

[Retro Master]

"I know I don't. I'm just pumped up.", exclaimed Riley. "What do you think Scizor?", asked Riley. "Scizor!", exclaimed the Pokemon as it clenched it's claws. It meant "I'm ready!" Riley then heard Aston's name and turned to Patrick. "You mean the guy from the masqueraders? If that's him, then there's no need to worry because I'll defeat him.", exclaimed Riley confident of his skill.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri looked at Riley Guess winning a tournament gets you like that Kiri stood and began to dispense his empty plate along with Pichu on his head

Kiri walked back as he stretched, he looked outwards of the room to the sparring took for trainers looking to get a quick warm up before their match, Kiri began to walk towards the room

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

"How do we know he's even going to get through anyway?" Jonas asked
Then Aston himself appeared and banged his fist onto the table. "What were you saying 'bout me?!" He roared.
"Nothing!" Jonas cried.
"Listen, if I hear you talkin' behind my back, you all will be surcumb to my massive power!!!" He yelled as he left the table.
"Wow..." Neve said.

 

[Jagson]

Drew walked towards the cafeteria like area where everyone was at. " Hey." He said when he found almost everyone. " I'm going to be dropping out of the tournament. Good bye everyone." He put on his best smile as he said it.
He quickly walked out of there before anyone could respond. ' Like any of them will actually care any way. less competition.' He thought. in a few minutes he made it to the PC.
He called Jill
" Hey Jill I'm going to transfer my team over to you." He said.
" Owe why." She asked.
" Just feel the need to." He said. " Tell Poli I'm not going to be able to visit him." He sent over five Pokeballs
' Everyone will probably be better off without me anyways.' He thought as he walked outside of the stadium. He threw Tess's Pokeball. A blue ring appeared.
" What's going on." Tess asked. She felt different at the moment.
" You belong with someone better than me Tess." He said. " This is where we say good bye."
He walked away from her.
" Drew!" She yelled at him. He didn't respond
After a while Drew made it back to his Hotel Room and walked into the bathroom. He broke his razor taking out one of it's blades. He looked himself in the mirror. 'Will any of them actually care?' He thought
" Goodbye Drew Leuric."
He said before he dragged the blade across his arm.
you were born alone and you will die alone.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri saw Drew walking away, saying he'll quit the tournament. Kiri got irritated from someone who was blessed with being able to enter the Tournement quitting for no reason. Kiri made his way out of the stadium getting lost on the way, as once he got outside he lost Drew "Damn it..."

Kiri looked around and sighed "Where did that guy go?....." Kiri said he was somewhat pissed but saved it all for the man who quit on the Tournement "OI!!!" He shouted out of no where as people started staring at him Kiri exhaled loudly as Pichu covered his ears not used to Kiri screaming

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

"That Drew...he looked so...sad...he's a good guy, but...i'm worried for him...." Ella said to Patrick
"Me too...he looked kinda depressed." Patrick replied.
"What shall we do about him?" Ella asked
"Maybe we should hang around near him and speak to him when he comes back."

Meanwhile, Aston took his position in the stadium. The woman who the man with the Volbeat previously proposed to was there, ready to battle Aston.

"Go Illumise!" The woman cried and it appeared.
"Allow me to crush you. Go Absol!" A large Absol appeared. It had a scar on it's face.
"Illmumise, use bug buzz!" Absol dodged the wave.
"It's that all you got?!" He roared. "Night slash, then psycho cut!" The Absol lept foward and slashed furiously at the Illumise who was trying to dodge, then another cut came and Illumise fell to the floor and fainted.
"Pathetic." Aston said. The woman was crying but she saw the man from before and they ran off together.
"Aston is on to the next round!" The announcer cried.

 

[Jagson]

Drip...Drip...Drip
That was all Drew heard when he opened his eyes. He was in a dark room. Was this hell he thought. He looked at his right arm and saw that it was stitched up. " Hello." He said into the darkness.
" Your an idiot you know that." Cortez said as he emerged from the shadows. " What where you thinking."
" Like I need to tell you anything." Drew said. " Why didn't you just let me die."
" Because I have plans." Cortez said. " And I want you to be apart of them."
" Explain." Drew asked.
" I want you to join the Red Scarf Foundation.." Cortez said. " Well 2.0 anyway. Or you could say no to that." Cortez showed Drew that he was holding a needle. " And I'll pump you full of Morphine. it'll be a quick and painless death."
" No offense Cortez" Drew said. " But I've seen what the Red Scarf Foundation does." Drew said remembering Johto as well as Hoenn. " Not something I'd like too join."
" The New foundation's plan is to defeat the true evil of this world." Cortez said. "The Council of Elements or the masqueraders as some call themselves." He looked at Drew. " The true purpose of the Red Scarf Foundation was... IS world peace."
" Alright." Drew said. " I'm in."
" Good." Cortez said. handing Drew a red scarf. " Now I want you to participate in the tournament. One of their members is currently in it. a Darius." Cortez said. " I want you to fight him and defeat him. since the incompetence of the Police force just allowed him to leave."
" I dropped out of the tournament Sir." Drew said.
" Right about that." Cortez said. " It appears that it didn't go through your still in. Also." Cortez handed Drew five Pokeballs. " That researcher friend of yours is a cutie. She gave me all of your current Pokémon when I told her I was a friend of yours. As for your Gardivour she just..."
Tess walked up to Drew and slapped him hard on the cheek.
" You bastard." She said. " How many times do I have to tell you that your stuck with me." She said hitting one of Drew's unused Pokeballs recapturing herself. She relesied her self as she looked at him. " If you ever pull another stunt like this again I will make sure you never harm yourself again."
" Now then agent Leuric." Cortez said. " Your free to go."
Drew stood up he put the red scarf around his neck before he left the dark room.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri sighed and rubbed the back of his head as his commotion died down, the people who were staring at him continued walking as Kiri looked around "Where'd he go?....."

Kiri wanted to walk forward and into town as Pichu pulled on his ear not letting Kiri go since if he got called it would result in a disqualification

"O-Oi Pichu that hurts!" Kiri urged as he saw Pichu's eyes of confidence he didn't want to be broken by Kiri's absence "Pichu Pichu!"

Kiri sighed and stopped as with one finger he rubbed on Pichu's forehead "Fine we'll stay"

 

[Retro Master]

"What was that about?", exclaimed Riley as Drew left. "Well, if he quits, there's less competitors for me.", he said as he threw away his trash. "Let's go Scizor.", stated Riley. Scizor quickly gobbled up the rest of it's poke puff and followed Riley back to the trainer lounge.

When he got there, he went up to Kiri. "What happened? You look you were looking for someone.", Riley asked.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kit looked around as he walked towards Riley "The guy who left..I was trying to find him and get him to change his mind about quitting but.." Kiri walked inside the room, and looked back "I would've went into town to look for him but Pichu would hate it if we were late to our match again "

Kiri sat down and took a deep breath "I guess I should go see how everyone else is doing back at the house"

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

Looker was in his office when he looked at the TV screen, onto the Hoenn League coverage and saw that reporters had already gotten onto the Drew dissappearance. He swung back in his chair. "Have some of the boys onto that," he ordered his secretary. The secretary nodded, then ran off. Then, Looker felt something press tightly towards his neck. "What's this?!" A tiny circular metal thing was in the palm of his hand. It had been attatched to his neck all along. A red light flashed at him. "A tracking device! Who planted this on me?!"

Many miles away stood Darius. He was in a hotel room, addressing the Council of Elements via a video call on his computer. "So finally, Looker knows we planted that chip on him! Let us wait until he realises we put one on every member who signed up for the tournament haha!"
"Good job, boss." The Mask of Stone said.
"You had everyone right away with the receptionist at the sign up place...facinating..." The Mask of Magic pondered.
"What are our orders now, since we completed our Hoenn phase?" The Mask of Electricity asked, curiously.
"We must wait. Me and Aston shall participate in the tournament. There is a prize they give out if you win in Hoenn, it is a trophy cup with a material inside. This material is rare and we can either sell it or...use it in our machines." Darius explained. "We must lure all of the participants who are skilled into the Sinnoh League tournament and grab them when they least expect it once they have gathered there. Currently, the remains of Team Galactic are thinking of breaking out their three old commanders. We must set a few of our agents out to help them release them and then the chaos will begin. Team Galactic have some very skilled new commanders and I am in touch with Charon, who only managed to escape the clutches of justice...with two unstoppable evil teams, Looker and the police force will crumble...then our real plan comes..."

 

[Jagson]

Drew walked back to his corner of the stands and watched as the matches continued. Apparently that Marduk fellow didn't show up. All that is left that he remotely cared about was that Dennis fellow.
As Drew spectated he heard a phone ring. It wasn't his ring tone but it was coming from his pants.
Drew took at a blue smartphone. It appeared to be a new model not yet available to the public. How he didn't relies he had it on him he'll never know. He slid the awnser button and saw Cortez looking at him.
" I see you found my gift." Cortez said. " First off we removed a device that Darius put on all the trainers. That was on you. Secondly while unfortanent that my man wasn't able to make it an earlier match you'll be facing off against Darius in the fourth round. After you beat him we'll deal with him."
" Understood sir." Drew said.
" Also fucking talk to people." Cortez said. " Last thing we need is for you to pull another stunt like you did earlier today."
" That's not going to happen sir." Drew said. " I'm here to do this job and whatever else is needed to put these bastards in jail or dead. Afterwards whatever happens to me will be no concern of yours." Drew said.

 

[Yaspen]

Aspen was back in her hotel room. Her clothes were hanging up; she had been stupid and forgot to hang them up to dry earlier. Aspen sighed. She had returned all of her pokemon to their pokeballs, and was lying on her bed. Better get some sleep before I battle again, she thought, I can't battle when I'm tired, even though I'm not actually fighting. The trainer's just as important as the pokemon fighting. She set the alarm function of her Pokegear to go off in an hour. Then she sighed, and lay down on the bed. Good luck to me, she thought before falling asleep.

 

[Retro Master]

"Well good thing we ate. The next round begins after Dennis does his battle and I have to go first, again. It's going to be a double battle which will be interesting, but nothing I can't handle.", stated Riley as he took his seat in the trainer lounge. He was still thinking about Drew. "I wonder what happened to him.", he thought.

 

[Iblockya]

(Dennis)
"Man how rude of him. I thought he would be here to watch my match." Dennis said to himself while walking to the field. "Well he always was a lone wolf."
(Yannick)
'I bet Dennis will get mad at me for not watching his match.' Yannick thought. 'Never mind. He won't kill me so I'll be fine."
(Dennis)
"For the last match of the first round we have Dennis against Lucy!" The announcer said as both trainers entered the field. The ref explained the rules and both choose their Pokemon for the battle. "Go Sharpedo!" Dennis shouted. "Metang go!" Lucy replied. "Begin!" The ref started the match. "That was too easy. I guess it is a pain that you know what your opponent will do. Crunch!" Dennis smiled. "Wha...? Metang Meteor Mash!" Lucy replied confused. "You are too slow! Sharpedo Waterfall!" Dennis was confident. "Shit Metang get up and use Meteor Mash!" Lucy didn't know how to attack Sharpedo. "Protect and then end it with Crunch." Dennis was disappointed that it was over so fast. "How? Why are you so strong?" Lucy was in disbelieve. "End the match please it is clear that I have won." Dennis said to the Ref. "Excuse me? I'm the one to end the matches young man!" The ref replied offended. Dennis only pointed at the fainted Metang. "Metang is unable to battle Dennis and Sharpedo win!" The ref said. Dennis walked up to Lucy. "You just had bad luck. Don't tell anyone but I'm an Elite 4 trainer from a far away region. Sorry girl I actually like you." He left the arena and looked for Yannick. 'Were did that idiot run off to?' He thought.

 

[Retro Master]

"Dennis seems pretty strong but...", Riley was interrupted by a man with two others behind him. "Hey, we're up next. You should be focusing on our match!", the young man exclaimed. "And who are you supposed to be?", asked Riley. "Little J is the name. I'm Big D's brother from another mother!", he exclaimed. "Oh, that's what this is about. I'm sorry man, but if you're looking for revenge, you aren't going to get it.", stated Riley.

The two behind Little J seemed to get angry at Riley's remark and walked in front of Little J. Little J put his hands in front of them telling them to stop. "Chill out guys. I'm not in this for revenge. Unlike my brother, I only pick on those I know I can beat.", stated Little J with a smirk. "We'll see about that. Their calling us for the match right now.", stated Riley as he started to head for the battlefield. "Come on boss, you can beat him.", said one of his guards trying to encourage him. "I got it. Don't worry, just sit sit back and relax.", he said before he headed for the battlefield.

"Welcome folks to the second round of the Hoenn League Tournament!", exclaimed the announcer, causing the crowd to roar in excitement. "This round, competitors will have to win a double battle to move on to the next round. And first off, to show you all how it's done, is our very own Johto League Champion! Please welcome Riley!", shouted the announcer through his microphone. The crowd roared even louder than before for Riley as he walked onto the battlefield.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri patted Riley's back as he walked off "Good luck, see you later" Kiri then made his way to the trainers lounge. As he hoped those other people didn't cause any serious trouble

Kiri sat down and as the TV showcased the match Kiri looked around "I guess Aspen must've gone home or something..." Kiri then looked at the tv "Looks like we're going up soon.."

 

[Yaspen]

Aspen woke with a start. Ashley had come out of its pokeball and turned the TV on, full blast. It was scowling at her, obviously mad that she had gone to sleep before the tournament. "Okay, okay, I'm getting up!" Aspen said groggily. She put her pink jacket on over her tee shirt and grabbed her bag and Pokegear. "There. Now return till we get to the stadium," she said, recalling Ashley. She ran to the stadium, dodging around people left, right, and center. At one point, Twilight's pokeball fell off of Aspen's belt, causing it to come out. "Ah, there's an idea!" Aspen exclaimed, the light bulb finally turning on. She climbed onto Twilight's back and Twilight galloped to the stadium. Aspen got off and walked inside, then called out all of her pokemon to watch the battle. "Let's see if we can learn something about the people we're facing."

 

[Retro Master]

"As for his opponent, please welcome Little J!", exclaimed the announcer as the crowd roared. Little J walked onto the opposite side of the field smirking at Riley. "Trainers, ready you pokeballs. In 3... 2... 1..., you may now begin!", exclaimed the announcer over the crowd noise.

Riley sent out Scizor and Salamence and Big J sent out Dusclops and Breloom. "A Dusclops, interesting. Listen up Little J, I won't issue any commands to my Pokemon to make this an interesting battle.", exclaimed Riley with a smirk. "Wait, what?!", asked Little J with a shocked expression on his face. Salamence turned its head towards Riley confused. "Yeah, that's right. I'm going to put all my faith in my Pokemon because I believe in them.", Riley stated as he layed down on the ground with his arms under his head. "Wake me up when it's over.", Riley said as he closed his eyes. "What, he's crazy.", stated Little J.

"Unbelievable, Riley has just went to sleep during his battle! What is he trying to do?!", exclaimed the announcer. The crowd roared in astonishment.

Salamence looked at Scizor. Salamence was relatively new to Riley's team compared to Scizor and looked up to it. Scizor turned to Salamence and nodded. Salamence smirked at Scizor and before Scizor could react, Salamence charged at the Dusclops roaring and shot a powerful dragon pulse at it.

Dusclops was pushed back but was still standing with not much damage. "Now's out chance, quick use will-o-wisp!", exclaimed Little J. Dud clips shot out three tiny ghost like spheres which went straight towards Salamence. Salamence raised it's wings and started to fly away, but it wasn't enough and was hit by the attack. Salamence fell to the ground roaring in pain. There were flames that were on Salamence, it was clearly burned.

Scizor was still angry that Salamence had charged off with no warning. However, he still had to help his partner. Scizor charged towards the Dusclops as fast as it could was suddenly punched in the face and was sent flying. "Nice mach punch Breloom!", exclaimed Little J. Breloom smirked at Scizor as it slowly got up. Salamence also stood up on its four legs and looked at Scizor. "Sala mence", which meant "I'm sorry." "Scizor.", which meant "it's alright." Then they both turned to Duclops and Breloom which initiated a stare off. The crowd roared anxious waiting to see what was going to happen next. Meanwhile, Riley still had his eyes closed, not paying any attention to the battle.

 

[Yaspen]

Aspen had been watching eagerly. "This trainer has quite the bond with his pokemon..." she muttered, taking mental notes. "Salamence isn't the most agile, so that's a plus, though." Her pokemon were watching, eyes glued to the screen. Aspen was taking this awfully seriously.

 

[Jagson]

Drew watched as Salamance and Scizor where fighting these pokemon without RIley. " He either has a strong bond with them or they're just very aggressive." he thought as he continued to watch the battle.

 

[Insanity Flight]

Kiri watched the battle as Drew approached somewhere near him, he looked at the battle I guess he deserves that confidence from winning the tournament Kiri looked at Drew and looked at the battle

"Just makes me want to fight someone too now!" Kiri said in an obviously excited tone as Pichu waved his hands in agreement "Pi-Pi!"
