Leon watched as his opponent's Squirtle eyed his Charmander. This was an uneven match, but he wanted to prove himself here. If nothing else, it'd shut this bastard up for once.

"Charmander! Smoke Screen!" The little lizard opened its mouth, spewing out smoke that covered the area. It was thick, Leon not even able to see a thing.

He could hear his opponent, though. The harsh laughter came immediately after that. "You think that's gonna save you from a type disadvantage?" he asked tauntingly. "Water Gun!" A burst of water shot through the smoke, the pressure of it blowing it away. It was heading directly toward his Pokemon too.

However, it wasn't Charmander. The Pokemon had switched, Oddish standing there bravely before her new trainer. The water struck her, but she shook it off easily. The look on Roy's face was priceless, making the nerdy boy smile as he pushed the glasses up on his face a bit. "Razor Leaf." The leaves shot from the small weedy stub at the top of her blue head, shooting at the turtle Pokemon quickly. It dodged some of the leaves, but the majority strike it square in the face, throwing it back with a few cuts along it now. "Absorb." Before the Squirtle could gain its barings, it felt its energy drained. It got up on all four and...collapsed, completely spent.

Roy looked furious at that. "Squirtle, return!" he roared, bringing his Pokemon back. "Let's go, Spearow!"

"You can take this one, Blaze," Leon stated, grinning at the small fire type. Charmander gave a cry of agreement, stepping forward as Oddish scurried back, returning to its Pokeball. It came at Charmander quickly, trying to Peck at him, but the small lizard was fast, jumping out of the way and returning an Ember. The scorching heat was too much for the bird, taking it down as well. "So, what was that you were gonna show me, Roy? You're never gonna beat me when it comes to Pokemon."

He could almost laugh at the look he got from Roy. He was furious to be talked down on by the nerd of his class. "Th-This was just a practice run," he growled. "I obviously need a few better Pokemon. You just got lucky. We'll settle this at the Pokemon League, if you think you can get that far."
