"It's time to begin the next match! To my left is Saffron City's Trish!" Marian shouted to the audience.
Trish had a confident look on her face. Despite earlier statements, she was hyped to take on her opponent.
"To my right is Arrowroot Town's Princess Salvia!"
Princess Salvia waved to the audience for a few moments before turning her attention to Trish with a smirk on her face. She looked ready to fight.
"This round shall be a single battle, so release your Pokémon!"
Princess Salvia pulled out a small red box and took out a regular Pokeball. "Togekiss, I choose you!"
She used her index finger to press the centre button and release her Pokémon onto the stage.
Trish let out a deep breath and exhaled. She curled her right shirt sleeve back a bit to reveal a bracelet with 6 crystals around her arm. "Espeon, I choose you."
She used her index finger to touch the largest one, releasing her Shiny. Espeon onto the field.
"Let the match begin!" Marian shouted as the wheel was replaced with a 5 minute timer.
Princess Salvia started the match by issuing her first command to Togekiss. "Togekiss, use Thunder Wave."
Togekiss dashed towards Trish's Espeon and fired a gigantic wave of Electricity. But when the attack collided with Espeon, the wave was sent back to Togekiss, paralyzing the Pokemon and causing Salvia to lose a few points on the board.
Salvia was stunned. "How did that happen?"
Trish smirked. "Magic Bounce. This ability negates Status effects and sends it right back to the original user."
Salvia clenched her fists. "Fine then. Togekiss, Air Slash."
Togekiss complied with its trainer's command and began to charge at Espeon once again.
Trish began to think about what to do to counter Salvia's Togekiss. That's when it hit her. "Espeon, use Iron Tail!"
Espeon ran at Salvia's Togekiss similar to two bulls charging at each other. When they collided, they hit each other with their attacks. But because of Togekiss' typing, Salvia lose more points.
"How can Espeon learn that?" Salvia asked Trish.
"Now's the time to implement my plan. She appears to be an easy target." Trish said in her mind.
Trish then smiled. "It's quite simple Salvia. Not only did Togekiss get a type change. But now Espeon is Psychic/Steel."
Salvia was dumbfounded at what Trish said. "That does explain how Espeon can use that move. But no matter, it does get a weakness to Fire type attacks now so I should probably use that."
"Togekiss, use Flamethrower!"
Togekiss opened its mouth despite the paralysis and fired a huge beam of fire at Espeon.
Trish got scared. If Espeon didn't get out of the way in time, she would take damage.
"Espeon, dodge!"
Espeon jumped into the air as high as it could, but her hind legs got singed by the fire attack and Espeon was in pain from those burns.
As Trish's point total decreased, Princess Salvia smirked. She thought she was going to win this match now because of Espeon's injury and began to plan her final attack. "Togekiss, finish this off with Aura Sphere."
