Finding My Voice

Red Vs Blue.

Pikachu start this match with Thunderbolt! Pikachu unleashed a blast of electricity, the shock struck Minior. The stone ball staggered back a bit. Now run in and use Quick Attack! Pikachu charged forward and rammed directly into Minior.

Blue swiped his hand through the air. "Power Gem!" Several stones rose from the ground and flew into Pikachu, blowing him back. He rolled across the ground and got up. Thunderbolt, again! Pikachu charged more electricity in his cheeks and sent the bolt at the opponent.

"Use Light Screen!" My rival called out. A pink barrier surrounded Minior, and it seemed to partially absorb the bolt of lightning. "Now hit them with Double Edge!"

Minior flew through the air and slammed into Pikachu. The electric mouse staggered back from the blow. Minior seemed like it would be a tough Pokémon to break.

It floated away from Pikachu, and I noticed electricity was coursing through its body. It had been paralyzed by Pikachu's Static! Pikachu, use Mega Punch!

Pikachu swung his fist directly into the body of the foe. Minior flew back further. Then, the stony parts of its body broke off one by one, revealing a blue circular Pokémon.

Blue furrowed his brow. "Alright, shield's already broken. Great! Use Shell Smash!" Blue ordered. Minior began to shine with energy before it burst out in all directions.

I knew Shell Smash made a Pokémon far stronger, but lowered its defenses. We had to be extremely careful. Light Screen was still up, so we couldn't just use Thunderbolt.

Blue thrust his hand forward. "Use Double Edge! Knock them out!" His Pokémon flew through the air, moving faster than before.

Get out of the way with Quick Attack, then finish this with Wild Charge! Pikachu jumped over the approaching Minior. Then, electricity surrounded his body and he descended.

Pikachu collided with Minior and jolted the opposing Pokémon. The meteor fell onto the ground and fell unconscious. The picture of the Pokémon on the screen faded to black.

"I knew that tourist was ripping me off when I traded him my Kadabra!" Blue grumbled as he returned his Pokémon.

Then, he sent out a blue sea beast that had yellow scales on its chest and Draconic fins. The creature used its tail to keep itself balanced. It was Blue's Seadra, now a Kingdra.

I returned Pikachu and called out Ivysaur. Like before, Poké Balls on both sides of the screen changed to pictures of our Pokémon. Pikachu's picture, meanwhile, turned gray.

"Kingdra use Dragon Pulse!" Kingdra shot a purple beam into Ivysaur. He jumped to the side to avoid the move. Use Toxic and then Solar Beam!

Ivysaur launched a purple sphere at Kingdra, the sphere exploded and drenched the opposing Pokémon in venom. Then, my Pokémon started to charge energy inside his bulb.

Blue shook his head. "Use Smokescreen! Then use Giga Impact!" Kingdra unleashed a wave of smoke that obscured the battlefield while Ivysaur prepared his attack.

Then, the sea beast erupted from the smoke and rammed directly into my Pokémon. Ivysaur was thrown back, while Kingdra propelled itself back into the smoke.

Ivysaur tried to aim his bulb at Kingdra, but he couldn't get a clear shot in the smoke. "This is how we get you, kid!" Ivysaur fired the beam into the smog and seemed to miss.

He landed on the ground and winced. Giga Impact had taken a lot out of him. I narrowed my eyes. Use Vine Whip to feel for Kingdra! Ivysaur's vines extended from his sides and into the smoke.
