Crystal and Storm stood across from each other in an arena. A huge bubble surrounding it, as to not allow it to be flooded with water. Pokemon filled the stands, including Coral, Willow, Pepe, Zappy, Brook, and other water types.
"Ready to lose?" Storm asked, confidently.
Yes- Crystal thought to herself, but shook it off.
"Wow, you have very low self-confidence." she replied.
"Wh-what do you mean? I'm super confident!" he said back.
"You just said 'Ready to lose?' to yourself. That is so, so sad."
"What?!?! No, I was talking to you? Y-you idiot!"
"Wow, I was actually starting to think you were smarter when you insulted us, but now? Telling lies and being an idiot? Just like I remembered from when we were children!"
Willow could be heard dying from laughter along with Pepe, while Zappy glared at Crystal.
"Ugh! Just shut up and fight!" he said, leaping at Crystal.
"Zappy, can we go get cotton candy?" Pepe whispered to Zappy
"I have no idea where the cotton candy is." Zappy responded.
"Follow meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Coral said running out the doors, Pepe trailing behind her.
"Pepe!" Zappy said as he looked back at the fight, sighed, then ran after Pepe, leaving Willow behind.
Crystal quickly dodged and shot icicles straight at Storm. Storm, being the showman he is, did a flip over the icicles, landing in front of Crystal, punching Crystal, sending her skidding back a bit. Before Crystal could react to the sudden blow, a huge wave loomed over her.
"Surf-" she said, before the wave crashed down onto her.
The crowd gasped. Some booed.
"CRYSTAL!" Willow called from the stands, panicked.
"Wow, way easier than when we were children!" Storm said, smirking, as he turned to the stands.
Suddenly, ice shot into his tail, and Storm let out a painful yell. He quickly turned to where it came from.
There stood Crystal, without a single scar.
"WHAT?!?! You are supposed to faint! That blast of steam- I mean, water, should've killed you!!" Storm shouted at Crystal.
"It's called encasing yourself in ice at the last second to make a fool out of the other person!" Crystal yelled back as she leapt into the air and created a bunch of icicles above Storm, which started falling.
Storm dodged left and right, dodging them all. "HA! How weak!"
Suddenly, a HUGE snowball dropped on top of him, Crystal landing softly on top of the snowball, almost collapsing.
That took....s-so...much...energy.." she said, panting.
The crowd went wild. Willow was cheering, Coral and Pepe were cheering from the cotton candy cart, even Brook was smiling a bit.
Then, all of a sudden, the snowball burst, sending snow everywhere, along with throwing Crystal straight into a corner, her back hitting the outer ring of the arena hard. Standing where the snowball once was, was Storm, bruised up and bleeding from his eye scar.
"Ow..." Crystal mumbled in pain.
"Oh, you're about to be in so much more pain for throwing a snowball at me!" Storm said, charging the injured Crystal, water spinning around the sides of him, shooting rapidly at Crystal, hitting her. He leapt into the air, claws coming out. The water that was spinning around him shapeshifting into a watery serpent with blood, red eyes, about to launch at Crystal. Just as he was about to land and scratch Crystal right on the head, and the watery serpent about to strike, when something tackled Storm out of the air. They hit the ground, and the red-eyed serpent dispersed into a puddle on the ground. The crowd gasped.
Storm was on the ground, pinned by a yellow mass of fur. A Jolteon.
"Z-Zappy? GET OFF!" Storm snarled.
"No." Zappy said back. "What are you gonna do? I am the stronger of us and I have you pinned."
"I'll- I'll..."
"Exactly. You just about killed Crystal, so I had to intervene."
"No I wo-"
"YES YOU WOULD'VE!" Zappy suddenly snapped. Pepe, Willow, and even Crystal, gasped, for, Zappy never loses his temper. "YOU WOULD'VE STRIKED HER, KILLED HER, AND NOT BE ABLE TO WAKE HER UP! YOU ARE A DANGER WHEN FUELED BY ANGER, SO I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD STOP YOU. YOU ARE A DANGER, STORM!"
"..."
Zappy pushed Storm away, and looked at the arena.
"Due to my interference, the fight has been paused. As soon as I leave the arena, the fight will continue, until someone faints/dies, or someone forfeits!" Zappy informed the audience.
"That Glaceon can't fight! It's a death sentence!" a Horsea from the audience shouted.
"Help her!" another voice came from the audience.
"Zappy, help her!" Willow yelled.
"I am sorry, but it has to continue until-" Zappy said.
"One of them gives up? They are both too bloody stubborn! I mean, Crystal is already getting up and Storm is ready to murder her! This match will only end in bloodshed!" Willow yelled back.
"I'm sorry, kid." Brook said. "It's the Cascade way."
"But-"
"I...I..." Crystal started.
She was up, but bleeding severely and limping.
"I forfeit..."
Now, I know I have said the crowd gasped a lot, but everyone here seriously gasped an actual, genuine gasp. Even Candy gasped and was so confused why she had done so until she was later told what happened.
"Oh thank god!" Zappy said, running over to Crystal.
Willow, Coral, and Pepe hopped down to help Crystal off the arena and back to the hospital, with Coral's guidance, while Storm was left behind, alone in the arena.
"You screwed up." Brook snarled at him, and followed the others.
Storm looked down at his paws, as the angry and sad audience left the arena, leaving him alone in silence.
