Tim was just relieved that it was over. It also came out during this ice breaker that Zaria had lied about seeing a shiny Butterfree... Honestly, of all the things to lie about... Whatever, class was starting. The class was basically going the rules and curriculum. No actuall lesson today. After class ended, Carpea announced the tournament. The prize would be a TM. Of course, a battle. Tim sighed. He should have known this would come eventually, but he hadn’t expected it so soon. Rocky on the other hand was excited to battle and started barking and running around excitedly chasing his own tail. The class was led to the battlefield. A futuristic looking tower. There they were told a local Gym leader would also be judging them. Tim frowned. More people judging his battle abilities was exactly what he needed... Not... Rocky barked and panted happily. Tim and Rocky went into the reserved room, where he faced Gerald and his Yamper. Tim’s brown eyes lit up seeing the other canine Pokémon. It was so cute! The electric dog used a Tail Whip to lower Rocky’s defenses. The sight was so cute. Tim had to stop himself from cooing over him. The other students would certainly make fun of him more than they already did. Tim took a moment to think moment to think of his next move. Rocky was faster than Pachi, but Pachi was an electric type, and could probably inflict paralysis on Rocky. That wouldn’t be good. [color=deepskyblue]”Um... Rocky... Use Double Team... Please...”[/color] The Rockruff ran around in circles, and created multiple illusory copies of himself while barking loudly. Tim hoped the Yamper would hit one of the duplicates, and he could get an attack in safely. Tim shuffled his feet and twiddled his thumbs nervously. [color=deepskyblue]”Um... uh... W-w-whatever happens... I-I-I hope our Pokémon can play together sometime...”[/color] He smiled sheepishly.
