Mental Battles -Pokemon-

Chapter Fourteen- Reuniting isn't Always Happy

"Valiant hero, you can't eat away your problems."

"I'm not trying to eat away my problems, I just want food!" I sighed as I took a bite of my oatmeal. Gosh, it's only my second serving...

"Why do I have to watch this Pokemon battle again?" Lucifer sighed, putting his head on the table.

"We can't exactly tell you, otherwise you'll think of a way around it," I mumbled, devouring my food. Good this I beat Gerard. There's a computer system hooked up to trainer cards. A grunt had handmade mine, but it didn't activate until I got my Turtwig. When I beat Gerard, it transferred 2,000 to my trainer card. Basically, a trainer card doubles as a debit card.

"That's stupid," Lucifer grumbled. "Tell me why, or I won't go."

I sighed and replied, "Either by will or by force, you'll go."

"That's stupid," Lucifer sighed. I stood up and threw away my tray, before grabbing Lucifer's arm and pulling him outside.

Kiari quickly caught up to us and slowed her pace to walk besides Lucifer.

"Lucifer, I can sense your elevated heartbeat," she stated monotonously.

"Yeah, because I'm being dragged by a power walker," he grumbled.

"I also sense the blush on your face."

"That isn't blush, you moron. Can you feel heat? It's probably over one hundred degrees outside! It is mid June, you idiot," he explained. "Even you're ugly face is red, robot lady."

"That did not offend me."

"Even if you had a thing for me, I'd never have a thing for you. You're only here still because you know my real last name," I explained.

"Whatever you say, sweetheart," He said with a wink.

I rolled my eyes and pulled him to the gym on the other side of the town. The gym was shaped like the top of an Eevee's head, and statues of the eeveelutions surrounding the front. That's Silver for you. I mean, not the guy who stole a Pokemon in the Johto region or something. This Silver is a girl.

"Come on, guys." I say, letting go of Lucifer and running into the gym. The great thing about the Kimandra region is that there aren't trainers before the gym leader. That'd be stupid.

"Hi, hi, new challenger! How many Pokemon do you have, yo?" a young girl said, spinning so her Leafeon patterned dress twirled. She immediately tied her mid length chocolate brown hair into a ponytail and grabbed a pokeball.

"Four," I replied nervously, stepping up to the battlefield as Kiari and Lucifer took their places on the sidelines.

"Hm, only four..." she mumbled, adjusting her glasses with her eyes closed. After a few seconds, her eyes snap owned open, revealing bright grey eyes full of excitement. "I know just who to use! Go, Jello!" she sent out a Jolteon, and it landed gracefully on the ground, emitting sparks into the air. Compared to the short pre teen, the Jolteon appeared pretty big.

"Go, Gible!" I shouted as I tossed his pokeball into the air, the adrenaline of a battle filling my body already.

"Good move, man! But nonetheless, I will be the victor! Jello, use toxic!" she shouted, throwing her fist up into the air.

"Wait, dodge it Gible!" Gible ran from the razors of poison flying towards him, then got ready for my next command. "Earthquake!"

"Jump in the air!" Silver ordered just before the shaking began.

"Keep up the earthquake until he lands!" I shouted.

Sure enough, once Jolteon hit the ground, he was damaged greatly by the earthquake. He groaned and struggled up, but he was far from fainted.
