Sandy's POV:

Ahh. Today is a good day to be me.

Spinning around, I used icicle crash on the Lopbunny before me. The large spear-like piece of ice came slamming down onto the normal type, breaking into millions of tiny ice shards as it did. The Lopbunny staggered before she fell to the floor, unconscious.

"And our winner is Sandy the Alolan Sandslash!!" Announced a Frogadier. He hopped over and grabbed my claw, raising it into the air.

The crowd of gather pokemon cheered and whistled. The Frogadier let go of my claw and I took a bow which received more cheers. I walked off the battlefield as the next to contestants were readying to fight. As I did I was greeted by Comrade Wave and his friend Moon. 

"That was awesome Sandy!" Wave said, holding out his paw for a bump. 

"I'm glad you thought so. It was not to difficult for I to knock out Lopbunny. Very easy win." I said, returning the bump. 

"You did amazing." Moon said, hiding slightly behind Wave.

"Thank you. I'm am glad you two enjoyed fight. I will be on soon, I fight whoever wins this fight. I'm sure it will take long time to finish as no mon is as strong as I, Sandy the-"

"And we have our winner!" The Frogadier announced before Sandy could finish speaking. 

Wave, Moon, and Sandy all turned to look at the battlefield, where a Tyranitar laid on the ground unconscious. Standing next to the large pokemon with a smirk on his face was a Thievul. Moon almost broke her nose diving behind Wave. 

"What is it?" Wave asked her, looking behind himself. 

"T-t-that Thievul. H-he reminds me of my past. An awful part of my past." Moon said, visibliy shaking. I turned to look at her, concerned for her well-being.

"Now," The Frogadier continued "our next battle will be between Sandy the Alolan Sandslash, and Swift the Thievul!"

At the name Swift, Moon's face went pale. Her shaking changed to shuddering and she even began to whimper.

"M-moon, are you okay!?" Wave asked, concern written all over his face. "Do you need to leave?"

"M-m-maybe. I-i-i-"

"Moon, I swear on my ancestors that I will decimate this Swift for whatever he may have done to you, and I swear that as long as I breathe that he will not hurt you again." I said, looking deep into Moon's eyes so she would know I was telling the truth.

Moon just nodded before Wave led her away from the battlefield. I slowly made my wave to the large circle and studied my opponent. We stood at the same height so I neither of us had an advantage there. Neither of us were weak to the others typing so again, no advantage there. The winner would be decided by battle prowess alone.

"Battlers ready yourselves!"

I moved my right foot back slightly, ready to leap forward if need be.

"Three!"

The Thievul gave me a malicious grin.

"Two!"

I glared at him.

"One!"

He moved his tail slightly, still grinning.

"Fight!"

I lunged forward with iron head, slamming my skull into the dark type which sent him back a few feet. His face immediately went from an evil grin to a furious snarl. He came at me with a sucker punch and smashed one of his paws into my stomach, knocking the wind out of me. Gasping for breath I barely had time to react before he used assurance. Since he had already been hit by me, the attack would have done more damage.
