"Hope you guys are ready for the tournament!" Landon said as he got up, his Pokemon cheered in response. Landon got up and fixed himself and his Pokemon some breakfast, as he ate he got thinking about which Pokemon he would use in the first round, 'Anyone of them would be a good choice' he thought as he ate his breakfast. Landon began thinking about the other four Pokemon he had written down, "Nah I want the first round to showcase the Pokemon I caught in Kanto," he said to himself, as he pulled out his badge case. Landon smiled as he began looking at the badges and re-calling all the battles he and his Pokemon had gone through, 'Anyone of them would be a good choice' the thought continued going through his head. "That's it!" he exclaimed, all of his Pokemon looked at him weirdly, "Oh... sorry guys, just me in my thoughts." Landon looked and saw all of his Pokemon had finished their food, "Alright who's ready to win the Indigo League!" he said making a fist in the air, his Pokemon cheered in response. Landon re-called all of his Pokemon and ran to the Indigo League, he heard something going across the intercom, "Landon Kier please make your way to the C-Block Stadium." Landon sprinted to the stadium. Landon stopped in the lobby and made a quick call to his friend Ahri who was had his Empoleon, Landon called and asked for it to be sent and not to long after the Pokeball was transferred over. Landon began sprinting down the hall to his side of the field.
"Welcome back to the 86th annual Indigo League and the next match of the C-Block the battle will be between Landon Kier and Logan Brant the battle will be 3 on 3 battle on a sand field!" The announcer called out, "Logan will have the first move!" Landon stepped over to his side of the field and help a Pokeball in his hand.
"Go! Krookidile!" Logan called, in response Landon called out, "Go Kook!" The two Pokemon burst out of their Pokeballs and onto the field. "Use Dragon Claw!" Logan called out, Krookidile charged a Kook with Dragon Claw.
"Counter with Crabhammer!" Landon called, the Crabhammer and Dragon Claw collided creating a large explosion. "Kook use Ice Beam, Krookodile should still be in front of you!" Landon called out, Kook charged and Ice Beam and shot it but Krookodile wasn't there, when the smoke cleared Landon saw a hole Krookodile had dug to escape.
"Use Thunder Fang!" Logan called, Krookodile burst out from below Kook and used Thunder Fang, "Now toss it and use Stone Edge!" Krookodile tossed Kook towards the ground and shot a Stone Edge hitting Kook in mid-air sending in down to the ground unable to battle.
"Kook return you did great," Landon said as he re-called his Kingler, 'I'll need to use the field to my advantage' Landon thought as he analyzed the field. Landon reached into his pocket and pulled out a Safari Ball, "Go! Tauros!" Landon threw the Safari Ball and Tauros burst out ready to battle, "Tauros! Horn Attack!" Tauros began charging at Krookodile horns first. The Horn Attack hit Krookodile sending it flying back.
"Krookodile! Hyper Beam!" Logan called, Krookodile immediately shot a mid-air Hyper Beam at Tauros, "Tauros! Dodge it and use Take Down!" Landon called, Tauros dodged the Hyper Beam and began leaping from rock to rock then slammed into Krookodile with Take Down. "You did great Krookodile take a long rest," Logan said as re-called Krookodile, then pulled another Pokeball and threw it.
"Go! Alakazam!" Alakazam burst out of the Pokeball calm and collected, "Use Psycho Cut!" Logan called, Alakazam shot an Psycho Cut towards Tauros with speed knocking Tauros back into a rock.
"Tauros, Hyper Beam, Go!" Tauros got up and shot a Hyper Beam at Alakazam dealing major damage.
"Alakazam Recover!" Logan yelled, as a glow covered Alakazam healing it, Landon watched in shock as Alakazam healed itself fully. "Now while Tauros recharges it's energy, use Teleport then Focus Punch!" Logan called out, Alakazam began to teleport across the field it was hard to tell where it was, Landon and Tauros began frantically looking around the field to see where Alakazam was.
'Focus Punch is a move you need concentration for, if you're hit before the attack lands the Focus Punch fails, so their using teleport so Tauros can't attack' Landon thought, not realizing Alakazam had just telepoted behind Tauros. Alakazam hit Tauros with Focus Punch before Landon had time to respond, "Tauros!" Landon cried as Tauros was slammed against a rock,
"Tauros Hyper Beam!" Tauros shot another Hyper Beam at Alakazam dodged with Teleport,
around the field unable to be tracked by the human eye.
"Now Alakazam use Focus Punch again!" Alakazam began teleporting around the field again while Landon began counting in his head, Landon patiently watched Alakazam teleport while charging it's Focus Punch, "Go Alakazam!" Logan called.
"Tauros Double Team!" Landon cried immediately after Tauros instantly began creating clones of itself to dodge the Focus Punch.
"Alakazam use Psycho Cut and destroy them all!" Logan called, Alakazam began rapidly shooting Psycho Cut's at all of the Tauros, Landon smiled.
"Now Tauros Take Down!" one of the Tauros leaped off a rock and charged at Alakazam slamming it into a rock.
"Alakazam Recover!" Logan called out, in a panic, Alakazam once again surrounded itself in an glow to heal itself.
"Hyper Beam Tauros!" Landon called in response, Alakazam began recovering but Tauros lauched a Hyper Beam cancelling the Recover and knocking out Alakazam. "Return Alakazam," Logan said as he re-called his Pokemon and pulled out his final Pokeball.
"Go, Seismitoad!" Logan threw the Pokeball and Seismitoad burst out and showed it was a powerful Pokemon, "Landon I saw you resting with all of your Pokemon last night, so I made a note of all the Pokemon you had, and I know you're final Pokemon is most likely your Tyranitar," Logan called from across the field.
'He knew all of my Pokemon' Landon thought in shock, "Tauros, Horn Attack!" Landon called out Tauros began charging horns first at Seismitoad, 'We'll knock him out with just one attack' Landon thought as Tauros continued charging.
"Seismitoad use Drain Punch!" Seismitoad hit Tauros sending it flying, into a rock both smashing the rock and knocking out Tauros.
"Tauros return," Landon said as he re-called Tauros, 'He knows every Pokemon I have on me, and none of them could defeat Seismitoad' he thought as he began thinking of all the Pokemon he had on him, thinking of some strategy when he heard someone calling him from the stands he turned and saw a familiar face, "Don't give up!" the person called out Landon recognized who it was, it was Lyra, "I've seen you participate in so many Leagues before and nothing has ever stopped you so why start giving up now!" Lyra called out. Landon smiled at her, she nodded and sat back down, Landon was filled with the determination to win but Logan still knew all of his Pokemon, then it hit Landon he had made an early transfer before the match, "Hey Logan, I've got a surprise for you!" Landon said as he held his final Pokeball in his hand. "Go! Mizu!" Landon cried as he threw the Pokeball, Empoleon burst out of the Pokeball and onto the sandy field, Logan looked at the Pokemon in shock, "Mizu use Metal Claw!" Landon called out, Mizu charged at Seismitoad with Metal Claw scoring a direct hit.
"Seismitoad Drain Punch!" Logan called, ready to end the battle in a single move, Seismitoad charged up a Drain Punch ready to hit Mizu.
"Mizu Ice Beam!" Landon cried, Mizu instantly shot an Ice Beam at Siesmitoad's hand freezing it. "Now use Flash Cannon!" Landon cried making a fist, Mizu shot a Flash Cannon straight at Siesmitoad's stomach blasting it into a rock, Siesmitaod got up clearly weakened a lot. "Now Mizu let's wrap this up," Landon said, punching the air in front of him, "USE HYDRO CANNON!" Mizu shot a high powered attack straight at Seismitoad and creating a large cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared Landon watched as Seismitoad fell to the ground unable to battle.
"All of Logan's Pokemon have been knocked out thus the winner is Landon!" the referee called, Landon had been so focused on the battle he didn't realize the referee was there. Landon ran towards Mizu with joy.
"We did it Mizu, you were awesome," Landon said as he hugged his friend, then re-called him, he shook hands with his opponent and they both left the field.
"You're going home?" Landon asked Logan as they stood at the entrance to the League,
" Yeah," Logan responded, "I'm going to get stronger and next time we meet, I'll beat you." They laughed then parted ways, Landon smiled as watched Logan leave when he felt someone tapping on his shoulder he turned and saw nobody there, he turned back and saw a face and jumped back startled. Landon focused and realized it was Lyra who startled him,
"You startled me," Landon said as he got up, "I know," Lyra said in response as she helped him up, "You're, not nice," Landon complained when he got up, Lyra laughed in response.
"So that was my first battle of the Indigo League, thanks for your help," Landon said gratefully, "No problem, it's my job to snap you out of it when you go dull," Lyra responded jokingly, "Yeah, come on there's more battles ahead of us," Landon said as he began marching back into the stadium.
