Pokémon Sun and Moon: Champion of the Stars

5. Vs. The Team Skull Enforcer! (An Unavoidable Battle)

A/N: so now I'm hoping for this chapter to be a battle, so sorry if it's a badly written. At any case, the current Pokémon that I have in the team are Brionne, Trumbeak, Grubbin, Grimer, Growlithe, and Eevee. But the ones that would be used in this chapter would be Brionne, Trumbeak, and (briefly) Growlithe since Gladion only had two Pokémon at the time.
Also, this is probably gonna be one very long chapter.
Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled fanfic.

Quick Recap

  After roaming around Paniola Ranch, Luma received an egg from the nursery and attempted to hatch it. Not only that, but also reminiscing of her childhood in Kanto until finally the Eevee newly known as V.V is hatched. When she runs off, Luma encounters not only her friend and rival Hau, but the Team Skull Enforcer Gladion who seems to be looking for the bracelet clad trainer. With introductions in order, an unavoidable battle is about to begin!

"Eh? Whaaaat?!"

Narrator POV

She just kept staring at him. Dumbfoundedness in her eyes and a nervous smile spilling from her face. Meanwhile, Gladion just looked at her impatiently waiting for her first move. While Hau slowly stepped back to leave room for the two trainers to battle.

'Seriously?! A guy like him wants to battle me? Wait who am I kidding, this guys from Team Skull! He can't be that different from the other grunts I battled, right? .... right?!'

"Hey, did you hear what I just said?"

"Y-yeah! I just need a moment to process this, okay!" She said in a panic waving her hands in front of her.

"Enough talk," he said while pulling out a Pokeball from his pouch. "Go Zubat!" He then throws his Pokeball bringing out his Zubat.

"Huh?" She said looking at the Zubat looking a bit more relaxed.

'Oh it's just a Zubat, so maybe he is like the other grunts after all. Just with an edgy choice of clothing... okay here it goes', she says as she gives a slight slap on her cheeks and pulled out her Pokeball.

"Okay you asked for it! Go Trumbee!"
Throwing her Pokeball, she brings out the giant Woodpecker who lets out a cry while spreading its wings. She could've used her Grubbin and used spark on it to get super effective results. However, since it's a bug type, it's essentially a glass cannon against Zubat. But thinking about this isn't getting her anywhere, theres a battle going on and she wasn't gonna hesitate any more than she already had.

"Wing attack!" Zubat took initiative and readied it's attack.

"Woah! Trumbee! Take the fight to the skies!"

Trumbee flies up and prepares to be preparing a swan dive down towards Gladion's Zubat.

"Now use Peck and go for a critical!"

She was hopeful that this would work, until the Blonde made his next command.

"Dodge and use Supersonic!"

Zubat quickly made way for the Trumbeak only for it to take some damage from being scratched by its long beak, but was still able to utter a sound towards its ears causing the bird to dive down head first onto the ground. Luma's look changes from confident to worried as soon as she saw her Pokémon fall head first onto the ground.
