A League of Night

Turners vs Night Round One!

Dawn chuckled as she and Paul went against the brothers. Qidorr went against Iris, in which the duo were hoping he would be ok. The two brothers didn't last long as the duo did a quick sweep.

"LEAF TORNADO!"

"WHIRLPOOL!"

They forgot to bring fire power to deal with the strength that Torterra brought back. Paul had a smile of relief that crossed his face as they tore the brothers apart. A yelp filled the air as Qidorr almost got killed. His face was pale as he got out of the way of her Haxorus. A small pokemon was in his arms, indicating it was down and he hadn't swapped out. Paul sighed as he opened his mouth to aid him. Another voice did it for him.

"FLAMETHROWER!"

The attack roared above Qidorr and pushed the angry dragon back. The group turned as a particular redhead entered the field. The two brothers froze.

"Chili?!" Their triplet glanced briefly before turning to the champion, who raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't think you had the courage to do that, Chili." He huffed as a Darumaka got in front of him.

"Depends on who you're with." She paused as he shouted to Qidorr. "My fight! Go!" Qidorr didn't hesitate to get out of the way and to the duo Night League members. Paul quickly embraced the brunette as Chilli huffed again. "I'm your opponent, Iris. Let's see who really stands!"

~~~

Red and Ash had words for the others if they weren't against their own opponents. Brock was hardly a challenge for Ash as he held the upper hand.

"WATER SHURIKEN!"

Steelix, despite being megaed and had a sturdy defense, went down with no problem. Ash finally sighed with relief.

"Thank Arceus! I finally hit it!" The silent champion raised an eyebrow as the other laughed. Brock huffed as they all turned to the final battle.

"Hey, uh... are you guys going to do something?" Red pointed at the younger gym leader, causing panic to cross his face.

"Eh?! I ain't throwing anything!" Red raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the bystanders. He seemed to be enjoying the wait.

"I'm giving you two seconds before I tear your team apart." The Alola League members gasped as Red turned to Yellow. He did a 'I'm watching you' motion before turning to the gym leader. The kid gulped.

"FLAMETHROWER!"

The flames roared to life as they slammed into the water type. He gulped, knowing the bad choice. Red hummed as he smiled. His mouth moved slightly before he nodded to the Blastoise. Without any sound hitting the air, it fired a HYDRO PUMP at the Arcanine and put it down with ease. The gym leaders stared at the result as the younger boy gulped. Ash hummed as Red went over. Unlike the others who had kept away as glares hit the air, he held out a hand as an extremely soft voice filled the boy's ears that the others didn't seem to hear.

"Lot of confidence using fire against water. Especially with a champion as your opponent. I'm impressed that you took up the opportunity to take the 7th gym. I hope that our next fight is a little more formal to see you truly take your position." The kid looked up at the red eyed champion with a flash in his eye. A nod followed as the champion turned to Ash and nodded. Brock seemed pissed though.

"Where'd that come from!?" Red hummed as Ash sighed.

"Would you rather see Red and Yellow fight? I'm sure they'll-" Red held up a hand to the arguing duo. Clearly he wasn't interested in fighting her. He smiled at the younger leader before turning to Ash with a nod. A smile crossed the Alola Champion as he turned to Brock. "Or we could go the alternate route."
