Chapter 48: Winning the Soothe Bell!

Teddiursa jumped out of the ground and immediately got attacked by Luxio, resulting it to faint. Immediately.

"Looks like we got our winners now!"

...

"Paul! Look" you started after the match was over and stood infront of him in the passage which lead the battle field to inside. "Look I get it that you hate me and my pokémons but I want to win this thing, so just stick with my plan for once! I'm literally following you around for three days! And i don't want to screw the last match up by losing to Dawn and Conway. We've got to work as a team!"

Paul looked at you unconcerned about any of this before speaking up with a smirk, "and what if I don't?"
Luxio growled beside it's trainer, glaring at the purple haired male.
"You don't-" You got cut off by the announcer's voice, blasting through the speakers saying there was only ten minutes left and the last two teams needed to hurry up with their last moment training or healing.

"Ten minutes?! Luxio c'mon, I'm leaving you with Nurse Joy, I would be late if I wait for you to heal up" You ran out of the place with the newly evolved pokémon to the center.

Nurse Joy already healed Chimchar who you left there before your match with Ash and Arlo started.
"Nurse Joy, is Chimchar healed?"
"Yep and he's ready to win"
"That's great!" "Xio!" "Can you heal my Luxio now?" You asked shyly, feeling a bit embarassed about coming to her after every match and leaving one pokémon everytime.
"Sure" she smiled and took Luxio's pokéball, handing you Chimchar's
"Thanks Nurse Joy" and with that, you ran off the field once again.

The Mayor announced the starting of the final battle which would decided which team will win the soothe bells.

"Alright Chimchar, i choose you!" You threw out the fire pokémon, surprising Paul.
"You caught Chimchar?"
"Ash did" you replied, focusing on the field "Just wanted to battle with him once"
"Well, he suits both of you anyways" he said letting Elekid out which scared Chimchar
"Don't worry Chimchar! You're with us now!" "Row row!"

On the other side, Dawn and Conway let Buizel and Heracross out.

"This looks like a perfect circle! Chimchar is strong against Heracross, who is strong against Elekid, and Elekid is strong against Buizel who's stronger against Chimchar!!" Arlo gasped seeing the match up "this needs to be the best match ever!" He said, clicking a picture quickly.

"Battleeeee Begin!"
"Chimchar, use flamethrower on Heracross!"
"Elekid, thunder"
"Quick, Buizel use aqua jet on Chimchar, now!" Buizel lunged itself with water surrounding its body and made Chimchar fall back.
"Revenge" When Elekid decided to attack Buizel, Heracross came between and took the thunder, before attacking Elekid with twice the power.

"Look Paul, if we don't start battling together, we're gonna lose this time!" You scolded
"So what if we do?" He asked angrily.
"Huh?" You thought for a bit, looking at the field before smirking "If we do it then we'll be able to defeat them! We still have time!" You pleaded, making Paul turn his gaze from the field to you "I have a plan which can surely defeat them!"
"What's the plan then?"
You smiled and leaned into his ears, whispering the plan. "Look, I made a plan earlier. I'll tell Chimchar to use dig, but it'll stay right infront of Elekid. When their pokémons will dash forward, i want Elekid to attack Buizel and we'll use flamethrower right after"

You leaned away and Paul looked at the field a bit "Instead of telling Elekid to attack, protect would be nicer"
"Huh? Protect? Sure!" you faced Chimchar "alright! Use dig!"

Following the plan, Elekid used protect but Heracross used feint to break through Elekid's defense, attacking it directly. Chimchar then jumped right out of the ground and hit Heracross right on the face.

The battle continued until Chimchar suddenly got right infront of Buizel and was too weak to get up, but Paul's Elekid who evolved into Electabuzz not so long ago, was ordered to protect Chimchar.

And for the first time, it felt like Paul and you were battling together like an actual tag team partner.

"Woah woah woah! Look at that! It looks like Y/N and Paul are actually fighting together like a tag team!" The Mayor exclaimed.
The crowd were also surprised to see the sudden change in the duo and were more siked to see what was gonna happen.

"Uh...Brock? Arlo? Is it just me or did Paul actually protected Chimchar?" Ash asked, staring at the field blankly.
"I think Paul was upto something, maybe he realised that he won't be able to win if he didn't followed Y/N's ideas or maybe there's some other reason" Brock replied
"Whatever may the reason be, may the best team win!" "Ursa!"

The battle quickly got over with You and Paul winning.
"We did it!" You cheerfully exclaimed and hugged Chimchar tightly "we did it we did it we did it!!!" You repeated it a few more times before letting Chimchar go. "Char!" It fisted bumped it's hand in the air and climbed on your shoulder.

"Paul! We did it!" You smiled and almost hugged himself but realised that he's not someone you should hug, after all he's a mean, arrogant rival, right? Not like Dawn, Ash or Brock.
Stepping back from him, you heard the Mayor saying that the mini stage where the prize would be given away will be set up soon so the trainers have time to heal up their pokémons.
"Paul, do you wanna heal up Electabuzz?"
"That's none of your business"

'the moment I thought we can become friends, he really had to say that?' you thought, an irk mark popping on your forehead.

You went back to the center with your friends to take a small break before the Mayor called again saying it's time to give the prize.

"Yes there were a few scary moments but I think this tag battle has brought out something new and exciting in both of you, so now I'm pleased to present you each with a sooth bell"
"Thanks a lot!" You said, taking one bell while Paul took the other.
The crowd started to clap for you two and the other trainers and their pokémons aswell right after the Mayor was done speaking.

...

"That's great Y/N, that you won the bell"
"Thanks Dawn" you smiled "it was absolutely- *cough cough* a *cough* weird tag battle because I was teamed up with Paul *cough* after all" you finished and started coughing again. Your voice was raspy and sounded absolutely weird.
"Y/N are you okay? Why's your voice like that?"
"WHY IS MY VOICE LIKE THIS?! WELL I'VE BEEN LITERALLY YELLING AFTER PAUL FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT, REPEATING ONE THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHICH IS; LISTEN TO MY PLAN, LET'S WORK AS A TEAM!-" You yelled in frustration after remembering that why's your voice like this in the first place and started coughing again.

"C-calm down Y/N-" 'i regret asking her this' Arlo mentally sighed.
Suddenly Paul came to the table all of you were in and threw the bell which Ash managed to catch before it hit you in the face.
"Hey! What was that for?!" Ash fumed "Y/N could've gotten hurt!"
"I have no need for that" Paul ignored Ash and looked at you before leaving the center.

"That was weird" He said looking at the bell in his hand "here Y/N, take it"
While you took the bell from him, Conway who was sitting on the next table suggested that challenging Veilstone gym would be great when suddenly Brock said that it was Paul's hometown.

"Paul's hometown?" You repeated his words "I'll be right back guys" You said dashing out of the center
"Hey Y/N wait! Where are you going?" Ash tried to call you, but you were already gone.
"I bet she went after Paul" Arlo said relaxing back against the sofa and drank his juice.

Outside the center, you managed to see Paul standing on the sideways of the road, waiting for the light to turn green so he could cross the road.
"Hey Paul!" You called, gaining his attention "Wait up!"
"Now what do you want?"
You coughed again before speaking, "Thank you for finally listening to me and battling against Dawn and Conway like a real tag team partner! It was fun battling with you!"

Paul flinched at a bit before smirking
"What's funny?" You asked
"Nothing" He said before the light turned green and he started to crossed the road
"Let's battle the next time we see eachother!" You yelled, smiling "Say Spearow, he sounded a bit less colder than usual, right?" "Row row" she agreed "Hey! What if he actually changed after the last round?"
