“However with Diglett’s defense down they are more susceptible to attacks.” Lily called to him as he yelled out his attack for Diglett. She watched below as her Ponyta struggled to stay at her feet, wobbling left and right in an attempt to stay up. Her mind itched as she tried to piece together what to do. If her Ponyta wasn’t on stable ground this could be problems even with four feet instead of two.

Suddenly she snapped her fingers. “Ponyta, use Stomp to regain control of the ground. When you raise Ponytas not only do they go through show training but battle training as well. She may not seem like it but she’s really strong.”

“NNNAAAHHHH!” The Ponyta found a moment to balance and threw herself up. Slamming her hooves hard against the ground her stomp spread outwards and crashed against the oncoming shakes from his Diglett’s attacks. Causing the floor to re-balance.

“Alright way to go Ponyta!” She called out, possibly getting more excited than she should have considering that she hadn’t laid an injury on the little creature and her Ponyta did look a bit shaken up.

I'm sure if it doesn't happen at the tournament it will happen on their travels.

It's short, sorry!

It was funny listening to him talk. It was light she was getting taught and despite their closeness in age; he knew a lot more about Pokémon than she did. Her hands rested against the poles as she listened to him, practically hanging on his every word. Maybe for some onlookers this wasn’t new information but for her it was something she needed to know. Even if there were things he had said that she knew before hand, she had every intention on soaking up information she was willing to share. Even if they were in a battle.

“Tsk Tsk,” Lily said wagging a finger. “You may have a Diglett again a fire type but against a horse Pokémon she can keep your little guy above ground with a move. But first, lowering its defense would be a wise move. And if you’re ready I’m ready…”

With that the announcer yelled go and Lily opened her mouth first, “Ponyta use Tail!” The fire horse’s tail began to flick back and forth in an intense almost hypnotic fashion lowering Diglett’s defense.

They both seemed to be stammering over their own words. Just getting herself to ask was a difficult thing to do but when she looked up at him with those big innocent green eyes of hers, he seemed to look away. Was he being shy? Or did he want to tell her no and didn’t know how because she was too forward, to herself, to… too Lily about the whole situation. Her stomach turned waiting for an answer. Maybe she should jump up and say ‘just kidding’ as loud as she could to distract him from the fact that she came across as a total weirdo.

Then he spoke. He finally spoke which relieved a lot of her tension. However when he began to trip over his own words she gave him a tender smile. “I’d really like the company. And the company of a new friend.” She said with a nod as her name was called out the intercom. Half of her wanted to forfeit the match but the other half knew better than to do that. They would be fighting as competition and friends not as enemies which makes this all the more interesting. “Alright, I’ll see you out there.” She ended the conversation with a bright smile and a wave before she went to gather her pokemon.

“Welcome back folks! This is one of the two semifinal matches. This Lilianna Vanderbelt from Lavander City versus Desmond Ludwik straight out of Pallet Town!” The crowd cheered on as the two took their places at the high raise overlooking the battle field. It was a simple field but interesting none the less.

Lily stood across the field from her friend, a smile on her face because, for her, this was something more than just the tournament, this was about the Pokedex and if she failed to beat him… would he give her another chance. Her three pokemon of choice sat in their balls in front of her and taking a deep breathe, she grabbed her first one. “I Choose you! Ponyta.”

“Tttaaaa!” The Ponyta jumped from her ball landing elegantly on the battlefield, her flaming tail flicking back and forth. She held herself much like her master did; with an elegance and poise. Her head held high as she waited for her opponent to arrive.
