     The sun dazzled the grainy sand of Aloramora beach. Backed by a beautiful ocean and a noisy jungle, it was an ideal place for someone to kick back and relax on a holiday vacation. However, that was not in the cards for these two particular occupants. Relaxing was the last thing on their minds. 

     "Last chance, " A young sixteen year-old boy named Kaisuke smirked. He stretched in the summer sun in his favorite sleeveless hoodie. The sun made his short black hair shine like crow feathers. His gold yellow eyes gleamed with anticipation. "You sure you want to do this?"

     The occupant across from him, another sixteen year-old named Daedalus, pointed an energetic finger towards him. Daedelus wore a comfortable white T-shirt with crossbones and khaki cargo shorts. His long dirty blonde hair hopped at his elbows with each dramatic movement he made.

     "Stop talking down to me!" Daedelus cried. "Today, Crobatman shall be victorious! And you shall bathe in our glory!"

     He stood ready with a chuckling purple bat pokemon that flew on four blue wings right beside him. His yellow eyes gleamed with anticipation. Normally known as a crobat, it grinned wickedly in agreement.

     In the background, the professor sat her students a good distance from the battle. Close enough to see, but far enough to not be in danger of being caught in the cross hairs.

     Kaisuke and a majestic pokemon of his own stood ready for battle. She was white, pink and stood on four legs. Her big blue eyes and long feeler ribbons shone bright in the tropical sun. Just as confident as Kaisuke, the Sylveon and him rolled their eyes at each other.

     "Just shut up and fight already!"

     "Vee vivi!" Sylveon cried in agreement.

     "Your funeral! Crobatman, use cross poison!"

     "Crobat! Crohhhhh!" Crobatman rushed at the Sylveon with poison-drenched wings.

     "Alice!" Kaisuke called. "Stand your ground, then let's take his wings!"

     "Vee!" Sylveon nodded in understanding.

     What does that mean? Daedelus had no idea what they were planning, but he wasn't having any of it!

     In half an instant, Crobatman had approached Alice and wrapped his wings around itself as it did a mid-air somersault. In another half instant, it opened its wings and it's wings of poison crossed and slashed her. Even though it was super effective, She was just strong enough to withstand the blow. Crobatman and Alice meet eyes, her confident smile caught him off guard.

     "Gotcha!" Kaisuke cheered as Alice wrapped her feeler ribbons around the base of all four of Crobatman's wings.

     One student, a young 12 year-old with short brown hair, freckles, and square glasses raised his hand.

     "Professor, that's not any pokemon move I've heard of!"

     The Professor ruffled his hair in acknowledgment.
     "That's right Nicky. That boy is a very talented trainer. The best of the best can use more than pokemon moves to win a battle!"

     Daedalus was shocked, not expecting him to try that. "What the heck? Get her off!"

     Crobatman flew around in a panic, never expecting to be having his opponent as passenger.

     "Use draining kiss to get your health back!"

     Alice, attached to Crobatman, started to continuously kiss his health away. Daedalus almost panicked, but he and Daealus found a way to get her off him.
