Ethan's Pokemon Journey!

Let the Battle Begin!

Luis: "You nervous Ethan?" Luis and I sit down on the bench from getting chips, opening the bags. "Eh- Somewhat." I then take a bite of a chip.

"I, er- ... I am confident that I will win, but you never know what trick they might pull out." Luis: "Yeah." Luis leans back on the bench and eats away.

The others converse with eachother with lots of energy, standing up and playing with Dragonite and Vee.

I sigh and then take some chips and put them into my back, slidding back so I could press my back against the wall... before slouching-

"Soo...Honest opinion, Who do you think will win the League?" Luis shrugs. Luis: "Too be fair- It seems like Pyrafox and Rjpro have more experience than you... so definitely one of them."

"Oh ok, I see." I chuckle a little. "Well then- Watch me win. It'll be a suprise but... I haven't come this far just to lose now." Luis snickers.

Luis: "Good Luck then."

After eating some chips, Luis talks to the others. This leaves me anticipating my next match with each and every single battle before me as they pass right beside me and into the Stadium.

But after waiting like... maybe like an hour or so later... Rjpro walks up to us. Rjpro: "Wish me luck." He fist bumps Pyrafox. Pyrafox: "Not that you'll need it." Rjrpo chuckles and agrees before walking into the Stadium halls, his enemy beside him.

I should watch his battle... I may face him sometime.

I sigh. I am next up after Rjpro... I got this!

I stand up and wince as my leg starts throbbing a but from using it. But nonetheless I stand up, not taking the risk that I'd hurt myself more by sitting down.

"Alright- Guess I am next... So... No Pixy and Vee... who could I use...?"

I start looking through my Pokeballs, One By One. I want to have a plan before the battle. But I also can't really make one without knowing what ny Opponent can dish out.

I mean- He made it here after all to the League and the second Round. He must be strong and definitely has something uo his sleeve...

"*Sigh* Well No matter... I'll just work woth Max and Scar for now. Offense and Defense. Then the last one..."

I pause and before I can say anything I get a ding from my Phone. It's a Notification that I am up next for the League.

"Right... I'll just... figuire things along the way..." I nod and put my Pokemon back. I then see my friends as they wish me luck. I now wait at the Battlefield entrance as Rjpro then walks back with a content smile.

He won. As I have expected.

Rjpro: "Good Luck out there Ethan. Win for us." I nod. "Thanks and yeah... I'll win." I now wait as Xavier walks through the halls amd next to me. Before we get called he turns to me, his deep voice Intimidating me for a second.

Xavier: "Hey, Ethan, was it?" I turn my head and nod, sweat now building up in my palm. Xavier: "Good Luck."

I smile. "Thanks. Good Luck to you t--" Xavier cuts me off.

Xavier: "You'll need it."

He now slides his hands into his pocket and puts on a cocky smile as we get called into the Stadium. He flashes a warm smile to everyone else and waves coolly.

"H-he is so confident..." I clinches my hands and gulp as I start walking slowly forward, starting to build up fear from people being all around us.

Stage Fright... Once Again.

This time I stumble on my own Cast from my leg, but I quickly catch myself on my feet and catch up to Xavier, hot from embarrassment.

"Crap..." Xavier stares me down. Xavier: "Don't give a lame ass fight like last time, ok?" I them freeze as he calls my last battle ass.

"What?" Xavier smiles. Xavier: "It's pathetic. Almost lpsing to a girl like last time. Even worse when you look at her pokemon and see that they don't train much."

Xavier: "Meanwhile- Your Pooemon show that they have worked hard to be here. Yet, you show that she seems just as strong as you."

I clinch my fist a bit tighter. "Yeah? She was... setting up. Its normal and-" Xavier: "It's normal alright... but you...? You aren't normal and i can tell by just looking at you."

Xavier: "No Normal person would lose to a battle to someone so weak." I glare at Xavier. "She isn't weak."

Xavier: "Hmm... Your right, Maybe she isn't weak. But perhaps... You are the weak one here."

I start to get angry as she talks mad shit. "Hey! Shut up! I earned my right to be here- I am not weak!"

Xavier: "Yeah? Then show me what you got right now."

Xavier holds his Pokeball before him and I wince, my eyes still on him, still a bit mad. "Alright then... I see how you do things."

I pull Scar's Pokeball and look at Scar before clinching the Pokeball hard. "If you want to fight... I'll give you one!"

Xavier smiles. Xavier: "Finally. About time you are fired up. Lets do this."
