Following the crowd into the stadium, Lillie, Hau, Gladion, and I got seats on the south side. The first battle of the day would consist of Alex against Robert, then later mine, Hau, and Gladion's battles.
Hau was munching on a hot dog. "Now this is high quality food for high quality entertainment."
Lillie nudged him. "Their battle hasn't even started yet."
He looked at her with his mouth full, confused. "So?"
Lillie sighed and I turned my attention to the arena below. All battles would take place inside the big stadium now on a slightly larger battlefield.
Once the crowd settled, the ref walked onto the field and pointed to the door opposite of where we sat. "Our first trainer of the day is Alex from Oldale Town!"
Alex walked onto the battlefield as the crowd cheered for her.
"And coming in on the opposite side we have Robert from Aspertia City!"
Robert waved at the crowd as he came into view, though where we sat we could only see the back of his head.
The ref waited a moment for the pair of them to get into position before shouting, "Trainers, bring out your first Pokemon!"
"Battle time, Incineroar!" Alex yelled, throwing out her starter Pokemon.
"Show your strength, Stoutland!" Robert shouted, tossing out his Pokemon.
"Battle, begin!"
"Start this off with Cross Chop!" Alex commanded.
Incineroar crossed his arms and they glowed brightly.
Robert grinned. "Bring it on! Thunder Fang!"
Stoutland reared up, it's mouth sparking with electricity. As Incineroar closed in, Stoutland bit down, the air exploding with electrical energy. A cloud of dust billowed up and Stoutland was forced out of it by Incineroar, who seemed unaffected by the electrical attack.
Alex gave a feral grin, matching her Incineroar's. "Throat Chop!"
Incineroar lunged forwards, paw outstretched.
"Take it," Robert yelled.
Incineroar jabbed his glowing paw into Stoutland's throat and the Big-Hearted Pokemon staggered backwards.
"Now," Robert shouted. "Reversal."
I grinned to myself. Looks like he was taking a page out of my book.
Stoutland slammed into the Dark type, sending him flying away.
Alex grimaced. "Double Kick!"
Incineroar jumped at Stoutland, kicking out his legs.
"Roar!" Robert shouted and Stoutland gave a ferocious bark, sending the Fire type back into Alex's pokeball. Immediately, Alakazam was brought out.
