"Oh My God, you were amazing, Red!" Rosaline cheered. "Did you see the looks ont heir faces when they lost?"
"You are amazing as usual, Ash." Lucario said.
"I'll never forget the looks on their faces for the rest of our lives!" Pikachu giggled.
"You really think ahead of battles, don't you?" Phillip smiled. His Emolga was also cheering for his victory, along with Purrloin, Espeon, Sylveon, Skitty, Pikachu and Lucario.
"When it comes to Pokémon battle strategies, you're a genius!" Jude pumped his fist in the air.
"Thanks, guys." Ash replied. He turned to his Leader, who was preparing to leave for the Arena.
"Well….good luck." Ash told his Leader.
Pakura nodded, and left the V.I.P Box without another word, Sylveon following her, along with Lance and Whitney.
"I wonder how she would do." Ash wondered to himself, sitting down on the front row seat.
"She'll be fine." Pikachu replied. "Wasn't she the only one who made you use all six of your Pokémon during the challenge? Besides, her partner is Lance, he's pretty strong himself. They practically got the match in the bag."
"If you say so." Ash said, turning back to watch the match.
"From the Green Side, we have Leader Whitney and the Princess of Hoenn, May!" Ash watched as Whitney and May walked out, waving to the crowd. "And from the Red Side, we have Elite Four and Champion Lance, with Elite Four and our favourite, or at least my favourite…" Here, the audience chuckled, "Princess of PAL, Pakura!"
Lance looked at Pakura strangely. That's her nickname? They walked out to the battlefield, and faced their opponents.
"There can't be two Princesses! There's only one true Princess, and that's me!" May shouted at Pakura. "I'm good at both Coordinating and battling, so watch out!"
Pakura did not even bother to answer back, which frustrated May. She isn't really interested in her opponents, as she had defeated Whitney before during an official Gym Battle years ago. Also, May is not really a good battler, from what she heard from Ash. She just wants to get her battle over and done with, so she can go to do better stuff than stand here and listen to some moron rambling about her 'skills'.
"We'll target the girl. Lance is too strong for us." Whitney whispered. May nodded.
"Trainers, send out your Pokémon!" Evan told the four of them.
"Venusaur, spotlight!" May summoned her Grass/Poison type Kanto starter.
"Delcatty, I choose you!" Whitney called out her Prim Pokémon.
"Dragonite, battle time!" Lance chose his ever faithful partner Pokémon.
"Let's go, Jynx!" Pakura threw her Pokeball, and out came the Human Shape Pokémon.
'Hopefully, Jynx is enough to take their Pokémon out. She's my weakest Pokémon after all.' Pakura thought. She looked down on Sylveon, who was sitting next to her as support. Sylveon nodded to her.
"Delcatty, use Attract on Dragonite!" Whitney cried out. The Attract move is impossible to dodge, and by distracting him, they can take out Jynx. Delcatty winked, and multiple pink hearts flew out towards their opponent.
"Venusaur, use Petal Dance on Jynx."
Before Lance could react, Pakura already gave a command. "Use Attract to repel Delcatty's Attract, followed by Blizzard to counter Petal Dance." Jynx winked, and pink hearts flew out, hitting all of Delcatty's hearts, successfully repelling it. Jynx then charged up a blizzard, and blew the petals back to Venusaur. Since it is part grass, it is super effective.
"Dragonite, use Flamethrower on Delcatty!" Dragonite charged up a Flamethrower, and unleashed it towards Delcatty.
"Dodge it, Delcatty, and use Assist on Jynx!" The Assist turned out to be…..Splash attack. The audience face faulted at that.
"Help Delcatty put by using Poison Powder on Jynx!"
"Dragonite, use Hurricane to blow the Poison Powder away." The Hurricane managed to blow it away, and inflict damage on Venusaur.
"Jynx, you use Frost Breath….try not to hit Dragonite." Pakura added as an afterthought.
(At the V.I.P Box)
"Is it just me, or are Whitney and May seem to be targeting Pakura only?" Jude asked his Elites.
"How low of them!" Purrloin growled.
"Seems to me they knew they can't take on Lance, so that's why they settle for Pakura, since they don't know about her battling skills." Ash replied, as he watched Lance's Dragonite struggling to get an attack on them, only for them to dodge, and attack Jynx again.
'How are you going to handle this, Paku?' Ash thought. He leaned forwards in his seat. This is definitely getting interesting.
"Delcatty and Venusaur are unable to battle! Green Side, please send out your next Pokémon!"
"Clefable, I choose you!"
"Beautifly, spotlight!"
"Clefable, use Sing!" Whitney called out. Clefable started singing, and musical notes emitted from its mouth.
'I highly doubt Leader Whitney knows that her Clefable is now a Fairy type, since it was a Normal type and she is a Normal type specialist. If only she did her research, she might have first used Disarming Voice, or Moonblast to take out Dragonite, if she wants to target me specifically.' Pakura thought, mentally face palming.
"Beautifly, use Silver Wind to blow the notes to Jynx!" Beautifly flapped its wings and a wind with silver crescents in it hit the notes, increasing the speed of the musical notes going towards Jynx.
"Jynx, use Safegaurd." Jynx's Safeguard was strong enough to cover both Dragonite and her, deflecting the song notes.
'Stop targeting me already.' Pakura thought, mentally sighing, figuring out the opponents' strategy.
"Dragonite, use Hyper Beam!"
"Clefable, Ice Beam to counter the Hyper Beam!" The Hyper Beam, however, overpowered the Ice Beam easily, and Clefable fell to Whitney's feet moments later. Clefable is struggling to get up now.
"Beautifly, use Gust on Jynx!"
