chapter 47

The stall owner got out of his shock"what the!? Whose pokemon is this?"

Clara and Maya quickly ran up to the stall "I sincerely apologize for my pokemon" said Clara apologizing for buddy who was still looking for the stone when Clara grabbed his ear to scold him "buddy how many times do I have to tell you not to put random stuff in your mouth and now look what happened" said Clara making buddy realize he evolved

"So this big guy belongs to you" asked the stall owner

"Yes, please tell me the price for the fire stone" said Clara

"Hmm well the fire stone isn't that rare here you can get one from that mountain" said the stall owner pointing towards the big mountain

"Well you're right about that" said Maya
"But still let me pay for it since it was my fault for not keeping a better eye on my pokemon" said Clara taking money out of her wallet but the stall owner stopped her

"I think I have a better idea and you look like a strong pokemon trainer from the looks of your pokemon, so why not join the pokemon tournament" said the stall owner

"Huh?? But how would that be helpful to you?" Asked Clara confused

"Of course it's helpful for me because I will be betting on you" said the stall owner making Maya also realize what he meant

"Ohhh I get it!! If Clara wins you will be getting more money than you would have from selling the stones right" said Maya

"Exactly" said the stall owner

"But is betting allowed?" Asked Clara

"Well in our city it is allowed and it's not harming anyone I think" said Maya

"But what if I don't win the tournament? " asked Clara

"Then I'll get the money from the one's you did win,every round has a bet" said the stall owner

"Clara you should give it a try it will be fun and I will also be betting on you" said maya

Clara thought for a bit "hmm well I guess I could give it a shot"

Maya and the stall owner cheered

Maya told Clara the tournament will begin in one hour so want and Clara signed up by giving her pokedax to the front lady and the system give her the name of her opponent

"You will be fighting against rain, this tournament will be three pokemon battle and your battle is the second" said the lady Clara thanked her and want out with maya

This is Clara's first official pokemon tournament so while waiting for the tournament to begin she bought some ice cream to calm her nerves

They found less crowded place and sit down to eat while Maya only bought one for herself she looked at Clara who was holding four popsicles

"Wow Clara you're eating a lot of popsicles" said Maya but she glanced to her right to see all her pokemon's had popsicles in their mouths

"Well ice cream is known for calming you're nerves" said Clara finishing her third popsicle

"Clara you're nervous? but you look so calm that I thought you had this in the bag" said Maya surprised

"Well even calm people can get nervous Maya, since it's my first official pokemon battle i don't want to put any pressure on my pokemon's" said Clara taking out a popsicle from the plastic bag and giving it to smoke who finished his popsicle

Maya nodded and glanced at the bag holding the popsicles "so can I have another popsicle" said Maya

Clara give her a popsicle and Maya hurriedly took a big bit of her popsicle giving her a brain freeze as Clara Comforted her "why did you take a big bit, the popsicle isn't going anywhere!" Said Clara rubbing her head to calm her brain freeze
