Chapter 7. The Rookie VS The Brute

Just a reminder the current events take place two weeks after Christmas.

After the events of yesterday, morning had arisen and everything was quiet. Pikachu and Buizel had started training together for their tournaments tomorrow. Normally it wasn't allowed for someone of a lower rank, like Buizel, to train together, but they had made plans to train together in secret so nobody would find out.

Pikachu watched Buizel carefully, watching her movements as she charged up to him with a semi-charged Aqua Tail. She leaped up in the air and swung her tail at him, Pikachu reacted and blocked it with a semi-charged Iron Tail. Pikachu quickly leaped away from her and threw a weak Electro Ball at her, and she threw a weak Water Pulse at him. Both attacks collided, making a small explosion. They both stared at each other and smiled.

"Think you got what it takes to beat me?" Pikachu said as his body was surrounded by electricity.

Buizel smirked. "Oh I don't think buddy, I know," She replied, her body surrounding with water.

They both started to charge towards each other, getting faster and faster the closer they got. Their Volt Tackle and Aqua Jet now fully charged. They collided with each other and started pushing against each other, both trying to overpower the other. Their feet digging into the ground and their faces pushed against each other. After what seemed like an eternity Pikachu finally overpowered Buizel and pushed her down, Buizel hit the ground hard. They both stopped and breathed heavily. Pikachu walked up to Buizel and held his hand out.

"Good mock battle, you're getting better," Pikachu said. Buizel reached out and grabbed his hand and Pikachu pulled her up.

"Thanks, I still don't know how you get so strong and can read my moves," Buizel said as she and Pikachu started walking back to Greninja's 'house'.

"Lots of training and broken bones," Pikachu said. He saw a bush of oran berries and picked some off, handing three to Buizel and getting three for himself.

"Pikachu, I want to ask you something," Buizel said as she took a bite of her oran berry.

"Yeah, what is it?" Pikachu as he also took a bite of his oran berry.

"Your father, how long has he been like that? He seemed to be off his rocker yesterday," Buizel asked. Pikachu chuckled at her British slang.

"To be honest I'm not sure, for all I know he's been like this for my whole life," He explained to her.

"That long! Why haven't you told me about this?" Buizel questioned. Pikachu looked down, his smile fading from his face.

"If I did then you would be in danger," Pikachu told her. "Raichu somehow finds out when someone knows what he's doing. The last person to find out was never heard of again,"

Buizel let out a low 'oh', hearing what Pikachu said. "Is he the reason why we weren't able to talk for the past few years,"

"Yeah," Pikachu replied. He remembered the day when he, unfortunately, had to tell her he would be out of contact for a long time. Seeing her angry and upset was one of the worse things he saw.

"I'm sorry," Buizel apologized sadly. "I'm sorry for lashing out at you all those years ago. I thought you just wanted to avoid me, but hearing this explains a lot,"

"You don't need to apologize Buizel. You had a right to react that way," He told her.

They both stood in silence with each other, the wind blowing all around and the sounds of nature are heard. "You know, I thought that you leaving was going to be the worse time of my life, 'cause you mean a lot to me and I didn't know if I could handle without you there. But I realized that I needed to take care of myself without you there, and I learned a lot," Buizel told him, a few tears rolled down her face as she looked at him.

"Are you ok Buizel?" Pikachu asked concerned. Rarely had he seen her cry in front of him.

"Y-yeah, I'm just... afraid that I might lose you, and I know that seems silly but..."

"Don't say that," Pikachu interrupted her. "We all have our fears you know,"

Buizel slowly nodded, "Yeah, c-cops," She stuttered. When Buizel was a young girl, her mother was gunned down right in front of her by police when they thought she was causing 'fighter violence'. It's a law that prevents pro fighters from fighting with others who rarely fought. Though it caused more problems as cops had shot and killed fighters for no reason and used the 'fighter violence' law as an excuse. Though Buizel didn't know at the time due to her young age and the event had scared her since. "What are you afraid of?"

There was another long pause, Pikachu thinking deep into his mind at her question. "My fear... is getting others hurt because of my action," He admitted.

"Your actions?" Buizel said confused.

Pikachu nodded. "It's because of things I choose to do has caused trouble for others, me not wanting to be king caused my mom to be abused by Raichu, me protecting Eevee will cause people to not trust me just because she's from the East and this whole thing happening right now is because I was born," He explained to her.

"Don't say that! You did nothing wrong Pikachu, you were just doing the right thing," Buizel said.

"It doesn't change the fact that many people were hurt because of what I've done, it's probably best that I leave the country," Pikachu hesitantly spoke. Buizel couldn't hold her emotions in anymore and pulled Pikachu into a hug, she cried onto his shoulder, her tears damping his fur.

"Pikachu if you leave then you'll hurt more people than you think you already do!" She cried. "Your mother can't even survive a day without you, I don't even know what to do if you aren't here, and from what I can tell from that other girl you're the reason she's still alive right now, you're the reason why all of us are alive right now!"

Pikachu knew Buizel was right, she, Jolteon, and Eevee couldn't be where they are right now because of him. He couldn't imagine how they would react if he was gone permanently.

"Y-you're right," Pikachu said quietly. Buizel lifter her face from his shoulder and looked at him deeply.

"Pikachu, please promise me, no, promise everyone you love that you won't ever leave," Buizel pleaded.

"I promise," He said. Buizel had a long look at Pikachu, normally her species was supposed to be bigger than his, but Pikachu was different, he almost three-inches taller than her, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, he was really attractive. True that they both agreed that it was best if they stayed best friends, but she wondered what would happen if they did start dating. She couldn't lie that she didn't fantasize about him from time to time, even if they went a bit farther than she expected. She shook her head, blushing from having those thoughts.

"Hear that?" Pikachu said suddenly, surprising Buizel. She listened for a sound but didn't hear anything.

"I don't hear anything," She said. She saw Pikachu's ears twitching so she knew that he heard something.

"Listen closely, clear your mind and only focus on your surroundings," Pikachu instructed. Buizel knew that when things suddenly happen he would use it as a lesson to better her skills. Taking a deep breath, she cleared her mind and listened closely. After a while, she heard a faint rustling that was near them.

"I hear it," Buizel whispered to him.

"Someone's spying on us," He whispered back, "Wait for the perfect opportunity to attack, and don't allow them to escape."

Buizel nodded, she charged a Water Pulse in her paw and waited. She could feel powerful energy from the sound. It felt like a strong water type. Knowing she couldn't do it alone, she grabbed Pikachu's hand with the paw she was using to charge her attack, blushing a bit as she did so. "I can't do this one alone," She said to him.

Pikachu nodded. Instead of charging his Electro Ball on his tail, he charged it on his hand that Buizel was holding. Their attacks charging and mixing, making a shining blue ball with yellow sparks around it. "Get ready," He told her. Buizel nodded. Pikachu started counting down.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

They didn't waste any time, throwing the combined attack on the source of the sound. The combination attack struck whatever was hiding, and a loud explosion was heard.

"Woah, that takes the biscuits!" Buizel exclaimed. Before she could say more, a black shadow leaped over them. When it landed it revealed that it was Greninja watching them.

"Clever," Greninja commented. "I don't know what biscuits have to do with anything, but there is some back at the house."

"I'm British you won't understand anything I say," Buizel said. "But what the bloody hell are you doing?"

"What? Can't ask for a surprise double battle," Greninja said.

"Double?" Pikachu said confused. It then hit him. He quickly grabbed Buizel and jumped to the side, the two barely dodging a powerful Flamethrower. They turned around and saw Braixen standing behind them. She leaped over them and landed next to Greninja.

"Good reaction," Braixen commented. "But don't think that's all I got," She got in a battle pose, holding her stick in her right hand.

"Ha! We don't back down from a challenge," Pikachu said excitedly. He looked at Buizel in the eyes. "You up for this Buizel?"

Buizel smirked. "You bloody know it mate, let's do this!" They both got in a battle pose and faced Greninja and Braixen.

"Allow us to make the first move," Greninja said. He formed two Water Shurikens in his hands and threw it at them while Braixen used Fire Blast. In return, Pikachu and Buizel shot a Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump respectively. The four attacks met and collided, causing a huge explosion.

Buizel quickly leaped up and used Sonic Boom on Braixen, Braixen took the attack dead on and barely had a scratch on her. Braixen pointed her stick at Buizel and a purple wave of energy shot out. Buizel opened her mouth and launched a beam of ice at the purple wave. The Psybeam and Ice Beam met and it was a power struggle between the two attacks before they canceled each other out.

Meanwhile, with Pikachu and Greninja, they were having their battle. It was a sword fight between Pikachu's Iron Tail and Greninja's Night Slash. Their attacks clanged together fiercely as they fought on. Pikachu decided to change strategies and used Thunder Punch on Greninja's side, Greninja grunted and flew back a few feet. Pikachu then launched a net of electricity at Greninja, trapping him inside and shocking him in the process.

"What the ...BZZZ... is this?" Greninja said as the net shocked him.

"Electro Net. New move I picked up," Pikachu explained. He went up to Greninja and grabbed the end of the net he was trapped in, swung him around, and threw him against a tree. Greninja slammed the tree hard and the net around him disappeared.

Braixen pushed Buizel away and looked at Greninja worried. "Greninja!" She cried out, but she didn't see Buizel charging up her next attack.

"Hey! Focus on our battle," Buizel yelled. She rammed into Braixen with Aqua Jet, sending her flying in the air and landing on top of Greninja. Buizel ran right next to Pikachu and looked at him.

"What's the plan?" Buizel asked.

"Simple," Pikachu charged up a Thunderbolt. "Attack fast before they can react."

"I like it," Buizel said with a smirk, she charged up her Hyrdo Pump. They both shot their attacks at them together, but Greninja managed to pick up Braixen and jump out of the way before they got hit.

"How are they so strong?" Braixen asked as Greninja set her down.

"They're both professionals at battling, They do this for a living. Also, Pikachu works for us, he would know how to beat us," Greninja replied.

"What should we do?" Braixen asked as her eyes glowed purple.

"First we need to-" Greninja didn't even get to finish as Pikachu slammed into him with Quick Attack. This surprised Braixen so much she didn't see Buizel charging up to her with Aqua Tail. Buizel swung her tail and smacked it against Braixen's side, her glowing eyes fading away as she saw sent flying through the air before hitting the ground.

"They sure chat a lot," Buizel commented.

"They do this during battles, it's kinda normal for them," Pikachu said. They both heard a low growl.

"Hehe, I guess I'm famished," Buizel said and blushed in embarrassment, "Are they knocked out yet? I could use some breakfast right now."

Pikachu looked over and saw Greninja and Braixen on the ground, both had given up trying to fight them. "Wow, you two gave up fast," Pikachu said.

They both grumbled at him. "Well we're also hungry too ya know," Braixen said as she and Greninja got up and went back to their house.

"Well I'm not waiting around," Buizel said and followed them. Pikachu sighed and soon followed.

'Why did you two hold back?' Was all Pikachu could think at the moment. Knowing that Greninja and Braixen were stronger than that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ma'am you need to hold still," Eevee said as she tried to bandage on Jolteon's leg. Other parts of Jolteon's body were already bandaged up.

"I can't stay still Eevee, I need to know where Pikachu is. He could be anywhere, he could be dead right now!" Jolteon said as her breathing started to increase drastically. Eevee noticed and put her paws on Jolteon's shoulders.

"Ma'am please calm down, I assure you Pikachu is ok. Raichu wouldn't try to attack again when he knows he'll cause more problems," Eevee told her calmly.

Jolteon's breathing began to calm down. "I know, but what would happen if Raichu did strike again? He could take us out at any time he wants."

"I may not know much about Raichu," Eevee began. "But I don't think he'll try to attack again. It's too risky now since the news spread out quickly. The other kingdoms might've found out as well."

Jolteon sighed. "This is all my fault. If only I'd say no to his proposal this whole mess would've never happened. At this point, I'm better off dead."

"Don't say that, what would Pikachu and Pichu think if you were dead," Eevee said, putting the bandages away.

"I tell you what, I wouldn't be happy to hear that," Jolteon and Eevee turned and saw Pikachu enter the room. Jolteon quickly got up and hugged Pikachu tightly.

"Thank god you're alive. Please, Pikachu, don't leave without telling me, I don't want you getting hurt," Jolteon begged.

Pikachu saw the worried expression on her face and hugged her back. "Don't worry mom, I promise I will." They separated and Pikachu let out a huff.

"What's wrong dear," Jolteon asked.

Pikachu looked up at a clock. "Only less than a day left until it begins," He said. Of course, he was talking about the tournament he and Buizel will be in. While they were in a different series and gender class, both were in major events that millions of people will watch.

"I feel collywobbles (nervous in British terms) about this," Buizel said, walking in while eating a piece of bacon.

"Colly-what?" Eevee said confused.

"I'm nervous alright," Buizel said. "By seasons end I'll be old enough to go into the women's pro-series. But if I don't do well I may not get in if someone doesn't draft me in."

"Draft? I'm so confused," Eevee admitted.

"Not your fault dear, you were locked in a cell for years, not to be mean or anything," Jolteon said to her.

"It's fine, only because it's true," Eevee replied.

"Anyway, whenever a boy or girl does well in the lower series, they have a chance to get drafted by a veteran fighter. But the champions of the Pro-Series can automatically bring someone up to be a pro," Jolteon explained. "Like Pikachu here, he got was automatically put into the Pro-Series by the defending champion of last year."

Eevee was surprised. "Who was it?"

Jolteon let out a sigh. "Unfortunately, it was Raichu who did it. Probably to bring Pikachu in with low experiences. Though it did fail since Pikachu won the most tournament this season."

"Most of them! He bloody won half of the season!" Buizel cried out loud, "Seriously mate, you've outdone yourself."

Pikachu scratched the back of his head, "I mean, it's not like I had a choice when you're a rookie you have to participate in every tournament to 'gain experience'," he explained. Before anyone else could speak, Greninja walked into the room.

"You guys may want to see what's on T.V," Greninja said, everyone followed him to another room and looked at what was going on.

"Breaking news! Last night King Raichu has attacked his wife, Queen Jolteon, and reportedly the Princess of the Tracia Kingdom," the Gardivoir who was a news reporter said.

A Galade next to her quickly spoke up, "Yes indeed, but luckily two brave heroes came to the rescue. The mysterious fighter Pikachu and rising female fighter Buizel teamed up to defend the queen and princess from Raichu," the screen showed the fight between Pikachu, Buizel, and Raichu taking place on top of the tower.

"But before this fight, it was revealed that the mysterious fighter Pikachu turned out to be the king's son, The Missing Amber," Gardivoir said looking at the camera as millions of people watched her.

"Many rumors have since arisen from the public, it got so far and crazy that people are speculating that this whole thing is over the Prince wanting to kick his father of being king," as Galade continued, "Of course these are just rumors and not confirmed by anyone, but many have gone against the king since this happened."

"No other news has come from this, but we expect more to be revealed during the tournament tomorrow, which King Raichu and Prince Pikachu are participating in. But for now, we wait. But first the weather with Bulbasaur," The screen changed from Gardivoir to a Bulbasaur who was standing outside in the snow.

"Do not go outside! It's fucking freezing out here! I don't know why they sent a grass type out here you god damn ba-"

Greninja quickly turned off the T.V before Bulbasaur could finish.

Jolteon sighed, "I can't believe this is all happening."

"It was going to happen sooner or later mom, it can't be stopped," Pikachu said, feeling a small twitch from his ears.

"You do have a way to beat him, right Pikachu?" Eevee asked, hoping that he would have an answer. But to her dismay, Pikachu looked down and let out a sigh.

"It's going to be impossible to defeat him, as long as he has the ring with Pegasus's power he could defeat me instantly," This worried everyone, even Pikachu doesn't believe he has a chance.

"Well, what can we do about him?" Buizel asked out loud, everyone thought hard but to no avail, as most of them don't know much about the royal powers.

"There's... one thing we could do," Jolteon spoke up. Everyone looked at her curiously.

"What is it, mom?" Pikachu asked her. Jolteon stayed quiet before looking Pikachu in the eyes.

"Hold still," Jolteon walked up to Pikachu and put her paw on his heart, it started glowing a faint blue for a while before fading away. She moved her paw from his heart and a strange pattern appeared, glowing a light blue.

"What the hell..." Pikachu muttered, looking at the pattern that appeared on him.

"Pikachu, I know you don't want to be the next king or anything royalty at all," Jolteon started, "But this is one of the only ways to beat him is to accept the role of being the king."

Pikachu's heart skipped a beat, he had to be king to defeat Raichu. It's a large responsibility to look after an entire kingdom.

"That pattern on your heart is the Pegasus constellation, all royal family members have it," Jolteon moved some fur from her chest and the same pattern was there on her heart. "Even Pichu has it, on her,"

Seeing Jolteon and Pikachu seeing their patterns, Eevee wondered if she also had the same thing on her heart, only time would tell for her.

"So what do I need to do?" Pikachu asked.

"You can communicate with Pegasus herself to do her test to see if you're eligible to be the next king," Jolteon explained to him.

"Hold on a sec, Pegasus is a she?" Buizel said confused.

"Well duh, all the spirit gods do. Kerbex and Panther are male and Virgo is the other female," Eevee explained. "Though some, get very offended," Eevee growled, remembering the time Kerbex got mad at her when Umbreon summoned him long ago.

"Pikachu, this is very risky to do, you might even die trying," Jolteon explained.

"I'm doing it," Pikachu said, surprising everyone. "If it means defeating Raichu then I'm doing everything I can."

Jolteon closed her eyes and smile, she opened her eyes again and looked at her son. "Ok, do everything I tell you to do, grab the constellation on your heart," Pikachu was confused, he put his heart he felt the lines of the constellation on his hands. "Now, turn it ninety degrees to your left," Pikachu turned it as she told. "Now, close your eyes," Pikachu closed them, and when he did he wasn't at Greninja's house anymore. He was now in an empty void in space.

"Whoa," Pikachu looked around in amazement, he had never seen anything like this before.

"I see you're enjoying the scenery," A female voice spoke suddenly. Pikachu turned around and saw Pegasus standing there behind him. "It's nice to finally meet you, prince Pikachu."

"I should be saying that to you," Pikachu said as he bowed down to her.

Pegasus smiled, "So, I assume you have come to fight for the throne from your father." Pikachu nodded. "But may I ask, why do you wish to become king? From what I know you despise the role."

"I do, it's something I don't think I'm ready for," Pikachu started, "But what Raichu is doing to everyone I love, I can't keep letting him make others suffer anymore," Pegasus smiled at him.

"I see... I have a few questions for you, that will determine your fate," Pikachu gulped, but nodded in response. "The first question, if you could give someone the best life ever, who would it be?"

"My mom," Pikachu said almost instantly. "She has done so much for me all these years, I would give my life to make her happy."

"Question two, how far will you go to defeat your father in battle?"

"I'll go as far as I can to beat him, even if it means we both die it'll be worth it."

"Now for the last question, how do you feel about Eevee?"

This one puzzled Pikachu a bit. He wasn't expecting a question like this.

"Well, she's a great person, I still don't believe that someone would put her through the abuse she's suffered," Pikachu then imagined Eevee smiling. "And I can't deny that she has a cute smile, she's probably one of the prettier girls I've met."

"So you can say you will take her as your bride one day?"

"Yeah... Wait! Hold up!" Pikachu blushed as he realized what he said.

Pegasus giggled, "Don't worry, I won't tell. But just to let you know, she's going to be the next user of Kerbex, and Kerbex isn't as relaxed as the other spirit gods."

Pegasus spread her wings out and a blue light swirled around Pikachu.

"Prince Pikachu, raise your right hand," Pikachu did so. "Do you promise to protect the kingdom at any cost?"

"I do."

"Do you promise to make sacrifices to serve as king of Amber?"

"... I do."

Pegasus noticed his reluctance to respond.

"Do you promise to not betray any rules that will result in stone imprisonment?"

"I do."

"It is done then, there's one last thing for you to do."

Two blue lights went into Pikachu's back and wings started to form.

"And what is it?" Pikachu asked.

"Win the tournament, and beat your father for good."

With that, Pikachu's vision went white and everything went silent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Next Day

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Are you ready for this epic tournament!?" The crowd roared and fireworks lit up the evening sky. "Good! My name is Loudread and I'll be your live commentator! For you people on T.V, your commentators are the Keckleon Bros!" Four giant jumbo screens showed two Keckleons waving, one being green and one being red.

"Yes sir," The red Keckleon said. "And in ten short minutes, we'll have the first battle underway."

Jolteon, Eevee, Buizel, and Pichu were in a private booth inside of the stadium. They had a view of the whole field from up above, with protection glass in front of them.

Eevee stared at the stadium, amazed at how big it was.

"This place is huge, how do you guys get around this big place?" Eevee exclaimed.

"No idea, but this is ridiculous, for all of us Middle-class fighters the field is normally shorter, and now they expect us to run around this big place," Buizel complained.

"I feel bad for the younger ones, their field is only as big as a small football field," Jolteon said. "But anyway, we should be safe here from Raichu. He's not normally allowed since he's a fighter."

"But what about me then? I'm also a fighter," Buizel said.

"I know, but I made an exception for you and Pikachu," Jolteon explained.

"Ok, but I understand us being here, but what about them?" Buizel said, pointing to Greninja and Braixen.

"Got a problem with us being here?" Greninja asked. Only to be hit in the head with Braixen's stick.

"Don't be rude Greninja, and for us being here, just say that we're her security guards," Braixen explained, Greninja rubbing his head where Braixen hit him.

"It's that time everyone!" Loudread announced. Everyone started cheering as they knew what was going to happen. "Let's go ahead and introduce our first fighters!"

Electivire's theme- Wake me up- Evanescence (IDK why, couldn't think of anything else)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"On the red side, we have the fierce, the big man, also known as The Brute, Electivire!" People instantly booed him as he appeared from the tunnel. Electivire didn't care as he flipped everyone off, making them boo him more. "He does not have a spotter this time."

"Spotter?" Eevee said confused.

"Remember when I told you about watchers two days ago Eevee? They're the same thing. They watch over the field since fighters can't see the whole thing," Jolteon explained.

Pikachu's theme- Born Ready- Zayde Wolf

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A different song started to play and everyone cheered. They knew exactly who it was.

"I'm sure you all know him well! He's the new kid on the block, the youngest person ever to qualify for the championship, and he was revealed to be the prince of Amber! He's Pikachu!!" As Loudred finished, Pikachu came walking out of the opposite tunnel where Electivire came out. You could feel the stadium shake as people roared when Pikachu walked out. Pikachu waved to them, pulling down his bandana in the process. "For the first time this season, he has a spotter. And it's none other than next years 'Rookie of the year' contender for the female Pro-Series, Shinx!" A camera pointed to a Shinx who was on top of the stadium building. The Shinx was bigger than usual and she had a headset with a mic and binoculars on her.

"HER!" Buizel exclaimed loudly. Everyone looked at her.

"You know her?" Eevee asked.

"Yeah, she's the winningest girl in the Middle-Class for girls. She had 5 championships from the previous 5 years. She would've been in this tournament but she turned eighteen during the middle of the season. Then someone brought her up to Pro," Buizel told them. They were all amazed. She sounded like a female version of Pikachu.

"But why is she his spotter?" Jolteon asked. No one knew, and put their attention back to the field.

Pikachu and Electivire stood on their respective sides, they both gave each other a death stare. I went like that for a while until a ref came onto the field. The ref was a Gumshoos.

"Here are the rules, there's a time limit of fifteen minutes for every battle. The first one to be knocked out wins the match. If there isn't a knockout and the timer ends, it will go to the judges. All non-lethal items are allowed. The use of drugs is also forbidden. Understand?" Pikachu and Electivire both nodded. "Alright, get ready," Gumshoos said.

Electivire grinned evilly, he cracked his knuckles and got into a fighting position.

Pikachu only smirked back to Electivire, he pulled up his bandana so it covered his mouth and nose. Then on his ear, he turned on the earpiece that he equipped.

"'Bout time you turned it on," Shinx said. From her tone, she sounded like she was bored.

"You're the one who wanted to be my spotter," Pikachu replied.

"It was Greninja's orders alright, I wanted to use this time to get ready for our date," Shinx said sweetly, giving him a wink from up above. Pikachu was glad his bandana also covered his cheeks as he blushed lightly.

"Of course he told you as well, let's just get this over with," Pikachu said, getting into his battle position.

"Fighter's ready?" Gumshoos said, raising his arm in the air. Both nodded. The crowd started clapping in sync, the clapping getting faster and faster the longer it went on. Gumshoos then lowered his arm to the ground and yelled, "GO!"

All moves used in battles are moves the Pokemon can use. By TM and natural level up.

Pikachu didn't waste any time, he immediately charged ahead with a Quick Attack. Electivire was surprised at his speed. Pikachu had already made it halfway across the field. Thinking quickly, he used Rock Tomb and shot them towards Pikachu.

"Slide under and watch your left," Shinx said. Pikachu heard and slid underneath the Rock Tomb. He then rolled to the left where a stray rock was heading for him. He got up quickly and slammed his Iron Tail into Electivire's head. Electivire grunted but shook it off and went for a Hammer Arm attack. Pikachu quickly blocked with a Double Kick, but the second kick went into Electivire's stomach, sending him back a bit.

"Careful, arena hazards might be on," Shinx said. But as soon as she said that the ground started heating up. Pikachu and Electivire found it hard to stay in place without their feet burning.

"Now you tell me," Pikachu said. He used Magnet Rise so he was slightly floating above the ground, while Electivire was still burning his feet off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's going on? Why can't they stand on the ground?" Eevee asked confused.

"Hazards," Greninja said, "It provides more of a challenge to the battles but as a result fighters tend to get hurt a lot by it."

"That's not fair, neither of them can stand on the ground, and Pikachu can only keep his Magnet Rise up for so long," Eevee said worriedly.

"It's all about entertainment now these days," Braixen said, shocking Eevee.

"Sadly, you're right. They've changed so much these past few years," Jolteon said, turning her attention back to the battle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Damn hazards!" Electivire said angrily. Ignoring the pain, he charged towards Pikachu using Giga Impact. Pikachu saw this and put more energy into his Magnet Rise, sending him higher into the air and avoiding Electivire.

"Are you testing him? Cause I know you that's not even half of your strength," Shinx said.

"Yep," Pikachu replied.

"Is he worth the time?"

"Nope."

Pikachu released his Magnet Rise and dove down using Volt Tackle, he also spun himself like a ball and used Iron Tail at the same time. He looked like an electrified saw blade falling down the sky.

"Where is he?" Electivire wondered. He frantically looked around for him, fearing the worse. But it was too late. Pikachu slammed into his head hard, a big explosion happened on contact. Everyone got up onto their feet, normally when Pikachu did that move an explosion didn't happen.

"Pikachu?" Shinx said on her headset, hoping that Pikachu would reply. But she only got static as a result. "Pikachu, please say something," Again, only static.

As the smoke cleared it revealed that Electivire was knocked out, and Pikachu was still up. But Pikachu looked badly injured. The field hazard went away and two Audinos came onto the field as well as two police Arcanines. The Audino's checked over Electivire and Pikachu, but more so on Pikachu since they could care less for Electivire. The two Arcanines looked around to see if the explosion was caused by battle or by something else. They soon got their answer when they saw the remains of a metal object by Electivire. They sniffed the object and were surprised at what they saw.

"It's a bomb," One of the Arcanines said. "Electivire must've had it on him during the battle."

"Definitely," The other Arcanine said. He turned to see Pikachu getting back up under his power. "Take these two to the medical area to get checked out," He told the two Audinos, They both nodded and put Electivire on a stretcher and went through the tunnel Electivire came through.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was a bit of a strange event, but until we get more details, give it up for your winner Pikachu!" Loudred said, and the crowd cheered for Pikachu. Pikachu gave a wave and bowed down to them, making them cheer louder. Slowly, he limped to the tunnel he came from and disappeared inside.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as she saw Pikachu enter his tunnel, Jolteon quickly left the private room.

"Wait Jolteon," Eevee cried. They all left the room and followed her. When they got to the main area, a Sableye saw Eevee and gasped.

"It's you!" Sableye said, running up to Eevee and grabbing her paw.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Eevee said surprised, she saw everyone else going on without her.

"I need you now, you're the prize winner," Sableye said as he started to drag Eevee away. She started to scream but Sableye covered her mouth so no one could hear her.

Back with the others, they saw Pikachu walking down the hall slowly limping as he walked.

"Oh my god!" Jolteon exclaimed. She ran up to Pikachu and quickly started inspecting him all over.

"Mom calm down, I'm fine," Pikachu reassured her.

"Pikachu, what did I say when you tell a girl to calm down?" Jolteon said.

Pikachu gulped. "They don't cal-"

"We don't fucking calm down!" Jolteon yelled. Hugging Pikachu while crying.

"What happened anyway? Usually when you do that you just bounce off of them and do lots of damage," Buizel said.

"It was a gravity bomb," Everyone's attention turned to the voice, it was Shinx.

"A what?" Jolteon said confused.

"It's a bomb that also pulls in things, just like how gravity is constantly pulling us down right now," Shinx explained. "Pikachu's one of the lucky ones, normally many don't survive these kinds of explosions," She started to examine Pikachu to see how badly damaged he was.

"How do you know all of this?" Buizel asked, suspicious of Shinx. Greninja and Braixen got nervous. Shinx knew everything that was hidden to the public, and she wasn't good at keeping secrets.

"Uhh... My dad used to help make them," Shinx said nervously. Greninja and Braixen were glad she didn't tell the truth, but it didn't look like Buizel believed her.

"Wait, where's Eevee? I thought she was with you guys," Pikachu said, trying to change the subject as he noticed the brown fox gone.

"Huh, she was just here with us," Jolteon said, they became worried. "Did she get lost?"

"I don't know, but we need to find her fast," Pikachu said. He sped off knowing that Eevee could be in danger.

"Split up everyone, make sure Eevee is safe," Buizel said. They all nodded and the search began.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sableye dragged Eevee into a room and locked the door behind them.

Eevee was scared and started crying, "What do you want with me?"

"Uhh, well you won that contest you entered a few days ago," Sableye said to her.

"Well, why did you drag me here then?" Eevee asked.

Sableye got nervous, "It's because of your prize, you may not like it."

"Well, I won't know until you tell me what it is," Eevee said.

"Your prize... is the last spot as a competitor in the women's Middle-Class," Sableye said.

...

"WHAT!" Eevee shouted. "I can't do that, I've never done a battle in my life."

"Sorry..." Sableye said sheepishly.

"I'm leaving," Eevee said. She went up to the door and tried to break the lock so she could get out.

"NO!" Sableye grabbed Eevee and pulled her away from the door.

"Hey! Let me go!" Eevee tried to get out of his grip but Sableye was too strong.

"I'm not going to lose my job again!" He yelled. He went to a bag nearby and pulled out some kind of costume. "Put this on," he said forcefully.

"No!"Eevee cried. This made Sableye upset, he spread her back legs and started forcing her into the costume. "Let me go!"

"NO! You will wear this costume and you will fight and win, cause if you don't I'll get fired and something bad will happen to you!" He threatened. He forcefully got the first part of the costume on her. It was black, tight and covered most of her body except her tail and head. Next, he put on some light-blue things that covered her paws and strapped around her legs so they didn't fall off. Then he put on a white hood on her that had white striped on the sides, and finally, he put a white mask over her face. There was an area that allowed her to see through the mask but it didn't show her eyes. Though there were two pink circles to show where her eyes would be.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Eevee cried.

"You signed up for this, and as I said, I'm not losing my job again," Sableye looked at the clock and smiled. "Would you look at the time, your battle us up now," Without saying anything else he dragged Eevee to the tunnel she would walk onto the field.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Any luck finding her?" Pikachu asked everyone. They all shook their heads, Eevee was nowhere to be found.

"What if Raichu took her?" Buizel said scared.

"He wouldn't do that now, too early to pull something off like that," Pikachu said.

"Where else could she be then, she doesn't know her way around here," Jolteon said. She hoped that Eevee was safe and away from danger.

"I don't know, but we can't give up looking for her," Pikachu said calmly. He still had hope that Eevee was still here.

"Mama! Mama!" Pichu yelled loudly.

"Pichu? What is it dear?" Jolteon said as she picked up her daughter.

"Big sis is on T.V," Pichu said happily.

"Wait, I thought you only had one sister Pikachu," Buizel said confused.

"So did I, who is she-" Pikachu looked at the T.V and gasped. The next battle was airing live, on one side was a Linoone, the other was a mystery person in a costume. No one could figure out who it was. But what caught Pikachu's attention was the tail on the mystery fighter. Their tail was the same heart pattern as Eevee's.

"I think we found her," Pikachu said. The ref started the battle and Linoone started attacking Eevee, but Eevee didn't do anything, she just stood still.

"What is she doing, doesn't she know how to battle?" Shinx wonder.

"That's because she doesn't," Pikachu said. "Give me your headset Shinx," Shinx did so, and Pikachu ran off to the spotter area. He had to get there in time to save Eevee from a terrible fate.

This took me a while to make. I'll try to get more uploads out this time instead of disappearing again. Also if you haven't read my 'Racing Life' book, I'm in an online racing league and it takes up most of my weekend. I hope you'll all understand. The last thing is I'm going to make an outline of the stadium and how big it is. That's all for now, see ya.
