Chapter 17: Vs. Jessie and James

Dawn and I walk out first. The crowd cheers as we step out, Eevee and Buizel following us. We walk to the right side of the battlefield. Jessie and James enter from backstage and step into the left side. Buizel and Eevee walk to the battlefield as Umbreon and Espeon do the same. We stare each other down. "The contest battle for first and second place starts now!"

Immediately, "Dark Pulse!"

Umbreon fires the attack towards Eevee. I am too shocked to command. Eevee is hit and is pushed back a bit. Eevee growls. "Eevee, Iron Tail!"

Eevee nods and dashes towards Espeon and jumps up. She spins in the air. Espeon steps to the side as Eevee crashes down. Espeon puts her guard down. "Now!"

Eevee spins and the attack slams into Espeon, knocking her away. The psychic type stops herself in midair and floats to the ground. "Aqua Ring," Dawn says.

Buizel surrounds himself with four rings. "Psywave!" Jessie yells.

Espeon creates a spiral of psychic energy and blasts it towards Eevee with amazing speed. "Dodge!"

Eevee jumps to the side, but the attack curves towards her. "We can change the direction of our attack, too."

"Protect!"

Eevee forms a green barrier around her, blocking all damage. The colliding attacks creates sparks that fly through the air. Eevee drops the barrier and starts panting. "Aqua Jet!" Dawn shouts.

Buizel dashes towards Espeon, swimming in a spiral. "Moonlight!"

Umbreon starts healing himself as Buizel rams him. Buizel flips backwards through the air, kicking up dirt as he lands.

We all hesitate to attack again. "How incredible!" Jessie shouts. "Another unbeatable duo."
I grin. "This battle will be extravagant. I just know it."

"Feint Attack!" James commands.

Umbreon dashes forward, surrounded in a Dark Aura. I grin. "My ace-in-the-hole, Dazzling Gleam!"

Eevee looks at Umbreon as he draws nearer and nearer. At point blank, Eevee shines brightly. Umbreon is blasted back, damaged heavily. I grin. "Gotta love Fairy types."

Eevee turns back to me and smiles. I smile back. Eevee nods. James gasps as Umbreon struggles to get up. "Moonlight."

Umbreon starts healing himself again. Dawn looks on at the damage caused by the one attack. Jessie, hesitant, commands Espeon to use Psychic. Buizel starts levitating. He is thrown from wall to wall and the attack doesn't relent. I look at Eevee. "Tackle!"

Eevee dashes forward to Espeon. She has to break her focus. If not, Buizel is going down. Espeon jumps up as Eevee draws nearer. Eevee starts levitating. I gasp. "No!"

Eevee and Buizel crash around the room. I watch in horror as our pokémon are put to the brink of consciousness. They are slammed into each other, helpless. "Now, finish them," James says. "Feint Attack!"

Umbreon dashes forward, surrounding himself in a dark aura again. He slams into our pokémon. Eevee and Buizel crash into the side of the arena. Dirt flies up, covering the two.

As the dust settles, I see Eevee, barely conscious, standing up. Buizel is knocked out. "Eevee!" I shout.

Eevee smiles. "Eevee..." she says, confident.

She closes her eyes and runs to the battlefield. She uses Iron Tail. "Vee," she says, looking back at me.

I nod. "Go."

Eevee runs forward, Jessie and James watch as our futile attempt at winning draws nearer and nearer. "Finish her off, Espeon."

Espeon walks in front of Eevee. She stares down at the puny pokémon. Eevee glares back, confidence and determination stirring inside of her.
