Chapter 74: Chapter 51: Preliminary Round (2)
The day after, Soul got ready to face his next opponent. He yawned and stretched his body as Mew also did the same.
He went to brush his teeth and took a bath before he went to cook for his Pokemons. Luckily the whole hut had enough space for all of them.
Drinking a glass of milk, Soul turned the TV on and watched whatever good, as he ate his breakfast.
Even though he didn't need to cook for himself, since the League would make foods for him and all the remaining trainer, he prefers homemade food.
He sat there and watch some reality shows and other stuff he could find.
Some of his Pokemon also sat on the sofa or watched the TV from behind. Mew just sat on Soul's head while watching the TV with curiosity.
After he finished eating his breakfast, he went to see who would be his next opponent.
He did the same as he did on the previous day, he went to find out about his opponent and their Pokemon.
Soul: 'Rick, a trainer who used water-type Pokemon. His strongest Pokemon is a Gyrados. I have a feeling that the battlefield would be water this time.'
Finishing checking about his opponent, Soul received a message from Ashley.
Heya Soul, did you got to know, who your next opponent is? - Ashley
Yeah, I would be fighting him at the same stadium on the third fight - Soul
That's great! I would also fight my opponent at the same time you do. We can all hang out after! - Ashley
What about Opal? - Soul
She would fight after the first battle, so that why I told you we all can hang out. Just don't lose and good luck. - Ashley
Yeah, you too. - Soul
He closed his phone as he walked outside and looked at the sky.
Soul: 'It seems like there would be a chance of rain today. I have to finish my match up quickly today.'
Just like that, Soul observes the first two battles with little to no interest as he got ready to finish the battle as quickly as possible.
Finally, it was his turn as he walked toward the battlefield.
Commentator: Let's welcome the two trainers who would be fighting the third match here today! To the left, we have Soul from Pallet town, who has displayed his power through the last battle, and to the right, we have Rick, who destroyed his opponent with his powerful water Pokemon!
Judge: This would be three against three battles, the rules are the same as last one, now, bring out your Pokemon!
Rick: Go, Seadra!
Soul: Let's win this, Lapras.
Both of them sent out their Pokemons as the battlefield theme today is water, so both of the Pokemon would be able to swim freely and use their full potential.
Rick: Sorry, but I would have to end this fast.
Soul: I could say the same.
Judge: Start!
Soul: Lapras uses Body Slam.
Lapras swam down as she swam up at face pace, which made her body flew in the sky.
Rick: Seadra use Hydro Pump!
Seadra sent out a powerful Hydro Pump, but when it hit Lapras, it didn't do anything nor leave any form for scratch.
Rick: Crap, Seadra dodge the attack!
But it was too late as Lapras' enormous body slammed on Seadra, who reacted too late and got hit.
When Lapras hit Seadra, a wave of water hit Rick's whole body and the judge, too.
Soul: Whoops, sorry.
Rick: It's fine, I'm used to this.
The judge seemed like he didn't mind as he went to check the fainted Seadra.
Judge: Seadra is unable to battle! This match goes to Lapras!
Another one hit attack! This young trainer Pokemons are really strong! The audience thought.
Rick returns Seadra to its Pokeball as he sent out his ace Pokemon, Gyrados.
Seeing her new opponent, Lapras got ready.
Rick: Gyrados use Hyper Beam!
Soul: Counter it with your own Hyper Beam.
Both of them sent out a powerful wave of light, as an explosion occurred.
Rick: Now use Crunch!
Gyrados dove out of the water and bite Lapras. Lapras didn't take much damage, but it still hurt.
Soul: Quick use Ice Beam on Gyrados tail!
Lapras sent out a wave of blue lighting, that froze when it came in contract with Gryados tail that was out of water.
Rick, who had an intent to use Dragon Tail after Crunch couldn't do it now, as he said to Gyrados to try and remove the ice from its tail.
Rick: Gyrados use Twister to remove the Ice.
Soul: Now use Sheer Cold.
While Grydados was trying to remove the ice, it didn't notice that Lapras was charging the attack.
Rick: Gyrados watch out!
Even though it managed to remove the ice from its tail with Twister, it suddenly got hit a cold beam as its whole body froze up.
When the ice broke, Gryados could be see fainted.
Judge: Gyrados is unable to battle! This match goes to Lapras once again!
Rick returned Gryados to its Pokeball as he looked over at Soul defeating.
Rick: I surrender, I can't win against your Pokemon. Besides its going to rain soon and I don't want to be wetter, and catch a cold.
Judge: Then I must say that Soul and his Pokemon have won this round and would advance to top 128!
Applaud was heard along with cheers. Some of the audience decided to leave after hearing what Rick said.
Soul also left the battlefield in hurry and texted Ashley that, he wouldn't be able to hang out with them today, to which he also got the same message.
Reaching to where his hut is, Soul opened the door and close it as the rain started to fall.
Soul: 'Phew that was close.'
Suddenly he could feel a stream of water fell, as his clothes became wet. Looking up, he saw Mew who was giggling, as it left the scene with a bucket falling on Soul's head.
Soul: Mew!
