[quote=@James Davy] "You can count on Popplio and me," Donald promised. He was worried about Jeremy's welfare given that if he lost to Maxie, Team Magma could do to him what they did to the Rising Star as shown in the video that was recently shown to them. [/quote] Jeremy: *As Passion Kiss* You better werk! Don't mess with the might of Passion Kiss. *Looking to see where Maxie would be at* Hmm. He should be around here soon. Hope that he didn't just back out at the last moment. It was then within seconds where from across the clearing...

You want a fight? You shall find out what it means to be burned by Team Magma. This is a match. Rules are simple. two pokemon each. First one to have both their pokemon knocked out... Loses. Passion Kiss: Deal. But not that it'd make much difference. Can i ask you something first? Maxie: I'm in a rather sporting mood. Ask me. What do you wish to know? Passion Kiss: Why're you so hellbent in getting the landmass to be expanded? Maxie: It's to serve the greater good. The sea covers much of the world and has little room for all the pokemon of the land to flourish. It is our dream to make the landmass of the world bigger and more vast. Passion Kiss: That'd be a heartening dream. However it can't be allowed to go on. What about the pokemon of the sea? Maxie: It doesn't matter. They have plenty of other areas to spread their wings. Passion Kiss: That isn't right. You know that. it's not like you can just play god. the idea could upset the entire ecosystem and wellbeing of the life on Earth. Maxie: That's how it is. Enough talk... Time to battle. Seconds later... Maxie: *Calling out a pokemon* Mightyena... come out! "Mightyena' Maxie: Call out your pokemon. Let's just see if you can fight me. Passion Kiss: *calling out a pokemon* Geodude... My rock-hearted darling... time to come and show your energy and serve it to the opponent. "Geodude" Maxie: *Ready to battle* Passion Kiss: *Ready to battle*
