As we reach the entrance to Mt. Moon, Elaine was very impressed with my new Boulder Badge, as I was intrigued with her Old Amber from the museum.
Cameron: I hope we get even better.
Elaine: I hope so, too.
After letting our Pokémon get a check-up at the Pokémon Center, I was wanting to do something with Elaine. I had a great idea to help us better understand one another.
Cameron: Elaine...
Elaine turned to face me, with her full attention.
Cameron: ...I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!
Elaine: Wait, what? Where is this coming from all of a sudden??
Cameron: When we first met, I barely knew a thing about you. I'm just thinking here, a battle could help us get to know each other better. Do you think so too?
Elaine, still startled from the question, thought it over and thinly smiled.
Elaine: Ok, Cameron! I accept your challenge!
Cameron: Alright! It's battle time!
After our Pokémon were fixed up, Nurse Joy guided us to an indoor battlefield just from the floor above the healing center.
Nurse Joy: Don't worry, this room is equipped for heavy battles, so battle to your heart's content!
Cameron: Thank you so much, Ms. Joy!
Nurse Joy exited the room as we got prepared.
Cameron: Ready to roll?
Elaine: I guess... I never had a battle with a Trainer before.
Cameron: I'm lucky it's your first time, so go wild. I won't be holding back, either.
Elaine nodded at my words as she got ready.
Cameron: Let's go, Pikachu!
Pikachu jumped off my shoulder, ready for action!
Elaine: Evo, let's win this!
The Eevee excitedly jumped off Elaine's hat to the field as well.
Cameron: Pikachu, Thunder Shock!
Pikachu dispersed electricity toward Evo as it fired in a straight line!
Elaine: Evo, dodge and use Take Down!
The Eevee dodged the oncoming Thunder Shock and charged forward with great speed toward Pikachu.
Cameron: Clash with Eevee using Quick Attack!
Pikachu quickly ran toward Evo as well, but as the collision neared, we pulled our next attack instantly!
Cameron: Double Kick!
Elaine: Evo, Swift!
Pikachu jumped forward to kick Evo with all her might, but Evo fired star- shaped projectiles, and hit Pikachu directly!
Pikachu landed on its feet, fazed, but was still going.
Elaine: Evo, Swift!
Evo fired more star-shaped rays at Pikachu, but suddenly, Pikachu put up a psychic barrier that protected it from the attack.
Cameron: Whoa...
Elaine: Your Pikachu learned Light Screen!
Surprised, I was ready to use Pikachu's Light Screen to my advantage.
Cameron: Pikachu, use Quick Attack, in a sidestep motion!
Pikachu went from side to side, inventively waiting for another attack!
Elaine: Evo, Swift!
Evo fired another Swift, but...
Cameron: Pikachu, cover yourself with Light Screen!
Pikachu quickly coated itself with its Light Screen, deflecting the Swift attack.
Cameron: Use Thunder Shock!
Pikachu zapped Evo with a powerful Thunder Shock!
Elaine: What?!
Evo sat tired. Upon seeing her Eevee hurt...
Elaine: Okay, call it off! You win...
She picked up her Eevee before she went downstairs in a face of disappointment, so I followed her and sat down to comfort her.
Elaine: I'm sorry. I just don't like seeing Evo hurt like that.
Cameron: I didn't mean to. I was just a bit excited, that's all. Ready to traverse Mt. Moon?
Elaine slowly nodded as we healed our Pokémon and went for Mt. Moon. As we went in, I felt something else coming from behind us...
