I knocked on Lewis' front door.
His father opened the door and greeted me.
"Damian! My other son! How are you?" he asked.
I forced a smile.
"Great. Where's Lewis?"
"Not sure. Hang on a sec... Lewis! Damian's here!"
There was no sound after that.
"Boo!" I nearly jumped out of my skin. Lewis was behind me, laughing.
When he ended his laughing fit, he asked, "Hey, where's your Pokemon?"
"Umm... Mom needed some help from them around the house."
"Hmm... Okay, none of my business. So you don't have a Pokemon... Then you'll have to use one of mine then."
He released all six of his Pokemon at once.
Mightyena, Empoleon, Swellow, Heracross, Raichu, and... Gliscor.
My heart stopped.
My gaze couldn't leave Gliscor.
"I take it you wanna use Gliscor?"
My mind was blank.
"Umm... Yeah. I do," I muttered.
"Alright then. Dad, we're gonna do some battling!"
"I'll leave you kids alone then."
He went back inside.
"Gliscor, Raichu, Heracross; go to Damian!"
The three Pokemon responded by coming to my side.
"Empoleon, you're up first!" Lewis declared.
His Empoleon stepped in front of him.
"Uhh... Gliscor. Go first"
"Gliscor? Why not Raichu?"
"I mean Raichu!" I corrected.
Raichu stepped in front of me.
"Ready?"
"Yeah," I sighed.
"Empoleon! Use ice beam!"
"Raichu, dodge it and use bolt tackle!" I countered.
Empoleon fired a cool blast of energy, forming ice into the pavement.
Raichu did a great job dodging and got really close to getting a bolt tackle.
"Use Metal Claw!" Raichu was smacked to the ground by the attack.
Our battle ended quickly.
He won with only Mightyena remaining.
"Hey! Lemme see your phone real quick!" he said.
"Why?"
"I gotta show you a video I saw online. Its hilarious!"
"Umm... Sure."
I handed him my smartphone.
He hid the screen from me, smiling as he did so.
But as he pressed the screen a couple of times, he frowned.
I went to look at the screen, but he stopped me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing... The video isn't loading. Wait a sec."
He began toying with my phone, swiping and tapping my screen.
He then pulled up a video on YouTube and showed the screen to me. The title read: How Not To Win Battles
