Pokemon The time traveler

Ch 50 May vs Paul

Brock stopped and turned surprisingly to his friend's outburst.

"I want to face him!" May declared as she stepped passed the breeder; the seriousness and confidence in her eyes were evident. "I'll agree to your terms, Paul."

"But May—," Brock began before feeling a hand on his shoulder. He saw Dawn shaking her head.

"Let her do it," the blue-haired teen stated while smiling. "She needs to do this, and I believe in her to win for both of us...and you should, too..."

Brock thought about it for a few seconds before sighing and nodding.

"Alright." He looked back to May and smiled. "I believe in you, May. You can do it!"

May nodded and focused her attention back to Paul.

"I can't let him get away with insulting us," she thought. "He doesn't care about hurting other people's feelings."

"Are we going to do this, or are you just gonna look at me?" Paul arrogantly said.

"This is one of the first people Dawn met on her journey—a big jerk. He made fun of my friends and what we believe in...what Ash has taught us," May thought angrily. She pulled out a Poké ball and threw it in the air. "Go, Eevee!"

Out came the little brown fox smiling and ready to battle.

"After all that dramatic stuff, you sent out an Eevee," Paul insulted as he stepped back to give room for the battle. "That's disappointing."

"I'm going to prove to you power isn't everything. I believe in my Pokémon!"

"Fine, but you'll regret it." Paul threw his Poké ball in the air. "Magby, stand by for battle!"

"Bee!" Magby growled when it appeared.

"Eevee, use Swift!" May yelled.

Eevee jumped in the air and quickly fired a barrage of glowing, white stars towards a still Magby.

"Take it," was all Paul said.

The red Pokémon hastily brought its hands over its face as the stars collided against it, causing it to wince in pain. The more the Swift landed, the more Magby grimaced in pain and was being pushed back.

"Break it off."

After hearing the order, Magby clenched its fists tightly before rapidly swinging them away from its face, destroying the rest of the Swift attack.

"Don't let it recover," May called to Eevee. "Use Quick Attack to get close!"

"Vee!" The brown Pokémon swiftly landed on the ground and jolted at incredible speed toward her opponent. She was a few inches when Paul reacted.

"Use Fire Punch!"

To everyone's surprise, when Eevee dove at Magby, the Fire-type leisurely bent its body backwards, dodging the attack. As Eevee was hovering it, Magby's fist engulfed itself in fire and launched it into the brown fox's gut, causing her to fly up and yelp.

"Eevee!" May yelled concerningly as her Pokémon crashed into the field a few feet from her. She saw her slowly get up. "Can you go on?"

"Vui!" Eevee weakly, yet confidently, stated.

"Great!" The coordinator then began to think of a strategy. "Eevee's best attacks are from far away, but they don't seem to be doing anything at a distance...that's it!"

"Magby, use Ember," Paul commanded.

Magby fired tons of fire pellets at a rapid pace.

"Dodge and use Quick Attack once more!" May countered.
