The ref holds up his right hand," The rules for this match is that only your starter pokemon may be used. Any other pokemon used will be counted as a forefeet of the match. There will be no heals or revives used along with items that can help in the battle. A win will be determined by the pokemon left conscious for the longest. Each trainer will now release their pokemon to begin the match." Then he lifts up his Yamper and puts it onto a chair that came out of nowhere.
I pull out a red pokeball throwing it onto the field," Echo I know you don't want to listen to me right now but we are going up against Michio. This will not be an easy battle and we will most likely lose but I want you to know that after this is done we will talk about what happened. Now let's try not to die out there Echo!"
Echo looks up at me deadpanning," Yeah as if you would tell me everything liar. Also as if I would die by any pokemon. I am a survivor who lived through your idiocy I can live through a little fight." Then she jumps away from me towards her side of the field.
Then I hear a laugh coming from across the field. I look up sweating from the heat to see Michio not wearing his signature yellow hazmat suit. Instead I see him wearing a long sleeve red shirt, jeans and brown combat boots. Looking down I see his hazmat suit sprawled on the ground. When I look up to see his face I see his familiar gasmask still on his face.
Then another laugh bursts from Michio," You think a motivational speech about friendship, telling the truth and working together will help you win this battle. Think again Honey Ketchum for you are in my world now and in my world you will never win. Now say goodbye to your win streak so far because it will end you here and now. Come on out Burst let's show them how things work in my world!" Then a pokeball with flames dancing around the ball is released from Michio's hand.
Landing on the field as a burst of flame shots behind it comes out a pokemon I vagally remember. It stands up with the flames dancing around it. Then my rotomdex fly's out of pocket to float in front of me buzzing. I touch the screen and it buzzes again showing me information on the pokemon it front me.
"Blaziken the fire chicken pokemon. It is a fire fighting type and final evolution of Torchic. It is know to be able to jump a building in a single bound." The rotomdex flies back to my pocket. Thoughts race through my mind of how screwed Echo is. She will be lucky to not have life threatening injuries from a more powerful fully evolved pokemon. I swear if she does end up with anything that will kill her I will stop the battle and whack Michio so hard that he will be knocked into next week.
Then the ref stands up again," Now this match between both pokemon will end when one or both pokemon faint. If there are any injuries that cannot be taken care of by potions I have a mini pokemon restoration kit on me. If you don't know how it works well lets just say the pokemon needs to be in their pokeball then put into this little case that will take anywhere of a minute to a day to fully heal the pokemon inside." He points to a small red case with the pokeball symbol surrounding the latch to open and close it. I felt relief from hearing this since I won't have to actually physically harm Michio if anything happens to Echo.
Michio slams his fist on the fire proof glass screaming," Yale you better start this match already you useless friend who showed up last week. I can't believe I let Henry talk me into having you travel with us." Michio breathes heavily tenses his shoulders then calms down.
The newly named Yale chuckles waving a green flag to signal the start of the battle.
Michio points at Burst," Use Aerial Ace and Double Kick on Echo." The flames on the field burst higher then ever before. Echo seems more energized by the fire.
While Burst jumps into the air about to land I scream," Echo use Quick Attack to dodge then use Flame Charge when Burst least expects it." When I say this it was almost to late. Burst flies down hitting Echo twice before punching her into the wall behind her. Blood drips off Echo while she stumbles trying to use Double Kick. It does not work instead she is grabbed out of the air and tossed onto one the active fire torrent's. I hear screams of rage then I see Echo looking up at me blood seeping from her mouth.
" I am a survivor and even I have to admit I should have listened to you but I don't regret trying it my way. You might say you will tell me everything but you know you won't because you are afraid of others dying after knowing everything. Now stop being afraid to tell the truth of why Team Mafia is after you and how you even learned of it in the first place." Then she faints still in Bursts grasp.
I return Echo to her pokeball then rush to Yale to heal her. Michio follows behind me with his pokemon following him. I give Yale Echo's pokeball and he puts in the pokemon restoration kit.
"Now due to the severe bleeding your pokemon will be healed in three hours. You can have the restoration kit since I already have backups." He smiles handing me the box. I take it holding it for a second before putting it in my bookbag.
Michio bumps into my arm," Now wasn't that fun having a friendly battle between aquatics. I have to say I expected better from the girl who has never lost a battle so far. Then again it is your first time facing off against me who so far has three badges to your two."
I take out Mercy's pokeball releasing him," Michio I don't need your attitude right now Echo's seriously hurt." Mercy hops onto my shoulder with worried eyes. He nuzzles my check cooing softly reassuring me that everything will be alright.
Then taking a deep breath Michio looks me dead in the eye," Your right and I'm sorry for winning at the expense of your pokemon's health. Now we need to go find Henry and Rain. I bet they are still at the ramen place fanboying over that Eevee trainer." He walks over to the door when the lights turn off. Then the backup red lights turn on along with blaring alarms.
That is when the doors are blown off its hinges throwing Michio back towards me. I catch him stumbling a bit then letting him go when we both catch our balance.
A tall figure wearing peppermint red with white striped suit and mask walks in along with six other people. I recognize Hazel, Psypsy, Jane and Jayden. Coming out behind them are a slew of different pokemon.
The peppermint man walks forward grabs my chin saying," Oh Honey Ketchum it is so nice to meet the person trying to stop me but then again this will be the last time since you will die here today. Now be a good teenager with friends and stand still this won't hurt much." I felt guinean fear when I recognized this was the leader of Team Mafia and he is here to kill me and everyone else here.
I am alive.
