A New Tale Of What The Future Holds

Chapter 12: Coumarine City Tag Battle Tournament Part 2!

"Picking up where last chapter ended"

Chase: I'll never forget the day I met Froakie.

"A few months ago in the forest near Lumiose City"

A Sneasel hits a tree then a Pokéball hits it. The Pokéball hits the ground clicks after shaking three times. Chase stands with Blastoise next to it. Chase picks up the Pokéball. Chase and Blastoise hear fighting near by and go to the source. They see Froakie fighting six Gligar. The Gligar attack Froakie over and over

Froakie: Froa!

Froakie runs away and the Gligar go after it. Chase and Blastoise follow them to a cliff

Froakie: Froakie!

Froakie dodges all the Gligar with its eyes closed. It grabs one by the the wings and throws it into another. Froakie makes a large Water Pulse and throws it down, the Gligar get hit by the Water Pulse and fall down the cliff and into a flowing river. Chase walks up to Froakie and aims a Pokéball at it

Chase: If you want to get stronger, come with me.

Froakie nods

"End of flashback"

Chase: I don't know if it was a fight for for territory or stolen food. After I saw what Froakie could do, I knew I had to have it. I knew if I had a Pokémon that could fight with its eyes closed in a such a calm way after taking so much damage, I could win the Kalos League. But ever since that day we haven't been able to make that happen.

Buck: I get it. You're trying to recreate the amount of stress it was going through against those Gligar by putting it in tough battles.

Chase: I'm trying to push Froakie to its limit, and go beyond that. If Froakie could use that power at will, it would be my strongest Water Type Pokémon.

Nash: You need to let it rest.

Chase: And if I don't?

Chase stands up

Buck: Froakie's health depends on it!

Carmin: Buck said Froakie needs a lot of rest.

Nurse Joy: You are to let Froakie rest!

Everyone sees Nurse Joy enter the room

Shun: It's Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy: You're pushing that Pokémon so hard is because you're to impatient! Froakie is to rest until it is ready to battle again! Is that clear?!

Chase: Yes ma'am.

Chase walks away

"The next day"

Shun and Carmin, Buck and Rose win their matches. Now Nash and Chase stand against two other Trainers

Announcer: It's time for the last battle of the day! I hope you're ready! Three! Two! One!

All: Let's go!

They throw Pokéballs and they open. Quilladin and Froakie come out of the Pokéballs their Trainers threw

Nash: Froakie?!

Metagross and Gliscor come out of the other Trainers Pokéballs. Nash sees the injuries on Froakie

"On the side"

Carmin: You've gotta be kidding me!

Shun: He can't be serious.

Buck: He's definitely serious. He doesn't care anymore.

"On the battlefield"

Nash: Froakie, you need to rest! Please!

Froakie shakes its head no
