Dim lights (book 2 of Lightning and Dusk's adventures)

Chapter 10-Love Struck

Dusk collapsed to the ground as he winced in pain. Inferno didn't seem to want to give up yet, but he had to get passed him to save Lightning.

Inferno glared at the Eevee struggling to stand up. "You really don't know when to give up, do you?"

"N-No! Spike never gave up." Dusk replied.

"Then maybe that's why he's dead...and soon you will be too." Inferno responded. He used Flamethrower.

Dusk rolled to the side in order to dodge. He stood up and used Shadow Ball.

Inferno avoided it as he ran towards Dusk with Poison Jab.

Dusk used Quick Attack to dodge as he ran towards the wall. He jumped off the wall and slammed onto Inferno with Iron Tail.

Inferno shook it off and ran towards Dusk. When he was a foot away from him, Dusk used Shadow Ball, making Inferno stop in his tracks and flinched from it hitting him.

Dusk ran towards Inferno with Iron Tail again stabbing him in the left eye.

"RAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Inferno roared in pain as he put a paw to his eye.

Dusk took it as an opportunity to run into Abrafo's room to find Lightning.

When he entered the room, he saw Lightning being held against her will by a certain Primeape sleeping on a hay bed. When she spotted Dusk, she tried to squirm out of Abrafo's grasp. The movement only irritated him to the point that he awoke. He sat up and turned to see Dusk. He looked at him in surprise as he quickly stood up from the hay bed—still holding on to Lightning.

"YOU!!!" He growled.

"You let go of Lightning now!!!" Dusk ordered.

"Never!! She is mine!!" Abrafo shouted. "We'll settle this with a battle!! The strongest will take the Pikagirl as their trophy and she will be mine!!"

Dusk went into a battle stance. "We'll see about that!!" He ran towards Abrafo with Quick Attack and slammed into him.

Abrafo used Mach Punch to try to hit Dusk but he quickly dodged the attack as he used Iron Tail, slapping him in the face.

Lightning watched the battle take place  by the hay bed as she watched the two male Pokémon fight for her.

"Lightning, you have to remember! I'm your mate. We both fought along side each other trying to save the region." Dusk told her as he used Shadow Ball on Abrafo. "Remember when we met Ho-Oh and became friends."

Lightning thought about what Dusk said but she couldn't seem to remember it as she just frowned in Confusion.

Abrafo knew what Dusk was trying to do and he wasn't having it as he ran towards Dusk in rage with Fury Swipe, hitting him multiple times in the face with a barrage of scratches.

Dusk tried shaking it off as he had many scratch marks on his face from the attack. He gritted his teeth in both pain and anger.

"Lightning.... Please... You have to remember all those times we spent together as these past few months went by..." Dusk begged.

Abrafo ran towards Dusk with Mach Punch. Dusk countered it with Iron Tail.

"She doesn't trust you. She knows where she belongs and that's here with me. Don't interfere with our happiness with your sad lonely life!!" Abrafo replied. "She doesn't want to hear it from you!!"

"How do you know how she feels?! You just assume her feelings and think she likes you but she never will!!" Dusk yelled in anger. This only made Abrafo more angry as he roared in anger and ran towards Dusk threatening to punch him multiple times with his fists but Dusk dodged every dangerous fist that came toward him and struck Abrafo in the face with Iron Tail.
