Zapped [A Pokemon Fanfiction] *on hiatus*

The Battle Chateau

We all sat silently in the Pokemon Center, waiting for Chespin and Fennekin to heal. The battle against Aaron had worn them out. He was obviously a powerful trainer, and didn't mess around. His Frogadier was also trained well.

I stared at the door where a Wigglytuff had taken Chespin and Fennekin for treatment. As much as those two annoyed me with their constant bickering, it was too quite without them. I heard someone sigh and glanced up at Morgan, who was also intently staring at the door. She and Nick had taken their loss hard. After all, Aaron and Frogadier had totally mopped the floor with them, and a defeat like that is never easy to take.

A loud ding redirected my attention to the door, where a Wigglytuff wheeled a cart out. Sitting on the cart were Chespin and Fennekin, fully healed. A lady with pink hair and blue eyes followed them out.

"I'm happy to say that your Chespin and Fennekin are fulled healed!" Nurse Joy announced. Chespin and Fennekin leapt off the cart and into their trainers' laps.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy!" Nick and Morgan chorused.

"You're welcome!" Nurse Joy replied before going back to treat more Pokemon with Wigglytuff.

"Morgan, I'm sorry I lost," Chespin sighed.

"I'm sorry, Nick," Fennekin stated, "I can't believe I've lost twice."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you win, Fennekin," Nick answered, rubbing Fennekin's ears, "I've let you down twice."

"Don't worry Chespin," Morgan stated, "It's not your fault I lost."

"You two should train to prepare for difficult battles like that," Genevieve suggested.

Morgan and Nick glanced at each other. "But, where can we get stronger?" Morgan asked.

"We could just challenge wild Pokemon, but I don't think that's fair," Nick noted.

"You want to get stronger?" a voice from across the room questioned. Everyone's attention was drawn to a woman who was dressed like a maid.

"Who are you?" Morgan questioned.

"My name's Anglia," the lady answered, "I work at the Battle Chateau, which is just a short walk from here. It's where trainers gather to battle. If you want to get stronger, the Battle Chateau is a great place to train."

"Really?" Nick asked, "Can you show us?"

"Gladly," Anglia replied.

A short walk later, we arrived at a large mansion that appeared to be floating on the river. An outdoor battlefield could be seen behind the tall building.

"This is the Battle Chateau!" Anglia exclaimed.

"Wow, it looks awesome!" Morgan shouted.

"It looks even better in real life than in the games," I mumbled to myself.

"What?" Fennekin asked. Conner gave me a warning glare.

"Ah, nothing!" I yelled, panicked, "Absolutely nothing!"

"Hurry, we're loosing them!" Chespin called before racing after our trainers and into the Battle Chateau. We all followed him.

The inside was just as grand as the outside, with beautifully tiled floors and fancy decor that made the Chateau appear to be a castle. Everything appeared to have been polished recently.

"Wow, this place is gorgeous!" Fennekin gasped.

"You say that about every single place we visit," Chespin whined.
