The sun shined brightly in my face forcing me awake, everyone else was still asleep including Zorua.
The chirping of the Pidgeys and the croaking of the Politoads filled the atmosphere, their soft and calming noises filling my ears as I leapt out of bed.
I walked outside to see Chloe hugging Toxel while sleeping on the couch. I couldn't help but smile.
"Wait..where's my pokedex-"
I walked back into my room and started searching for it but so far I came up short handed.
"It's not even here-" I said to myself as I continued searching.
"What are you doing?"
The noise I made woke up Chloe who was standing right behind me.
"I'm just looking for my pokedex..sorry for waking you-"
Without a word she crouched down to my level and started to help me look for it.
"Thanks…"
________
"Impressive-" Erika said when she returned her Ivysaur.
"You ain't seen nothing yet." He said proudly with a smile.
Erika dropped a pokeball gently to the floor and out came Bellossom ready for battle.
"Are you ready to go Zorua?" I asked.
Zorua looked at me confident and ready to continue.
"Ok start it off with a Dark pulse!"
Zorua aimed a beam of Dark energy at Bellossom.
"Bellossom, dodge it!" Erika commanded
And Bellossom did just that.
"Now follow up with a quiver dance!"
Bellossom twirled in the air and landed softly on the ground.
Something isn't right…something about it seemed way stronger than before.
"We have to keep our distance Zorua."
Zorua nodded and faced the opponent waiting for her next move.
"That won't work! Bellossom use Giga Drain!" Bellossom raises its hands high in the air and green bubbles start to appear out of Zorua's body.
The bubbles slowly floated into Bellossom ; it seemed more energized.
"It also has long distance moves??"
"Hey there-" Surge walked into the gym but me and Erika were too busy battling to notice.
"Oh- hey what are you doing all the way over here surge?" Chloe was confused it was a long walk from where he lives.
"I'm here to see the face of Erika when she loses."
"Bellossom use Giga Drain again!!" Bellossom just like last time raised its hands in the air and the same thing happened.
Zorua looked tired and could hardly move.
"Now Bellossom petal dance!"
Bellossom twirled continuously shooting petals in our direction. They were fast and I couldn't react fast enough allowing them to hit Zorua at full force.
I didn't know what to say or what to do. Zorua just kept taking it, waiting on my commands but ...
Zorua started tearing up and balling it's eyes out.
"Poor Zorua.." Chloe said from the stands.
I couldn't keep watching this… i pulled out my pokeball to return him but i noticed… Bellossom stopped attacking.
It looked sorry …scared even.
And without a moment's hesitation Zorua sends a shadowball in its direction hitting it directly.
"That's fake tears!" Chloe said, flabbergasted.
'Learning a move in the middle of battle… it seems your a faster learner than i thought-'
Surge was impressed.
Bellossom seemed to take significant damage from that shadowball but it still stood up strong.
"Bellossom use Giga Drain!" There was no stopping this attack!
The green orbs came out of Zorua's body again draining her.
Bellossom absorbed it, making her stronger and more energetic.
"Now use Petal dance!" Bellossom twirled in one spot again hitting Zorua directly.
Zorua tried to stand but she eventually collapsed.
Zorua was unable to battle.
"Zorua! You ok??" I ran to Zorua to check on her.
She was unconscious so I returned her.
"The battle is now even-" Chloe said to herself as she watched on from the sidelines.
"Not at all…Bellossom may be able to move as freely as if it were fully healthy but it's moves are exhausted." Surge said.
I threw my scarf back and took out a pokeball.
"Ok now! Go! Charmeleon!!"
Charmeleon came out in flames of fury and it was ready to battle!
"Charmeleon use Flamethrower!" Charmander leaned back and focused all its energy in its mouth.
Soon releasing a stream full of heat and flames directly at Bellossom.
"Bellossom dodge!"
Bellossom dodged the attack but barely it didn't had much time to recover before the next attack.
"Charmeleon Go! Use Fire fang!!"
Charmeleon charged at Bellossom with a mouth full of flame.
Bellossom tried to dodge the attack but she couldn't because she was already caught.
Charmeleon bites her with fire fang.
"Now while you have her in your grasp use a flamethrower at point blank range!"
Charmeleon charges a flame so strong that it burns Bellossom entirely.
Bellossom falls to the ground unable to battle....
