Chapter 27 - Taking A Challenge.

"Oh. Who's Pokemon is that? I've never seen them before." The purple haired woman speaks while kneeling down."

Turning back around to accept my fate Darach speaks to answer her question. "That is lady Amelia's Eevee. They are quite the new addition, and they are currently training under me as with the rest of her Pokemon."

Nodding along Anabel picks me up and starts to pet me on my head , and as she does so the one who shall not be named speaks. "Really? I suppose she's finally trying to start her journey. It's about time she's been training just Doku and Jarl for too long."

Cynthia comes over towards Anable and pets me on the top of my head as well as she heads out of the door and goes toward the outside arena and with that both Anabel and Darach head outside aswell dragging me along.

'This is sucks..Though at least I don't have to be apart of that mock battle with Caitlin because I'm 90% sure she wouldn't hold back against me. On a separate though who would've thought that Caitlin is over protective I mean she didn't care about anything in the games but I guess family's different.'

letting myself be carried I relax slightly and allow my tail to wag as a good little Eevee should, I see both Amelia and Caitlin on opposite sides of a arena that shows Darach cleanliness as there's not a peck of dust on its clean grey brick.

On Caitlin's side I see a Exeggutor and on Amelia's side is Doku(Crobat). Doku is noticeable damaged with a sprouted seed embedded into one of his wings while Exeggutor looks very damaged with multiple shards of ice sticking to its body.

Amelia calls out for Doku to use a Cross Poison while Caitlin doesn't speak at all but Exeggutor releases a torrent of leaves surrounding itself. Though to my absolute surprise Doku simply vanishes and moves to fast for me to see as it goes straight through the leaves and past Eceggutor.

with that Exeggutor falls and faints while Caitlin nods and even though Amelia can't see it she even smiles a bit before returning Exeggutor. 'What the hell?...Ok there is no way that was one of Caitlin's actual Pokemon because I know for a fact that Amelia isn't elite four level. Maybe it was a borrowed Pokemon or one she's currently training up...Arceus I hope I'm not this far behind..'

As the battle concludes Amelia runs up to Doku in a very..I don't want to think it but a ash-like fashion and even does a little victory pose before turning and looking in our direction after Cynthia start to clap.

"Well done! You managed to beat her Exeggutor. Even if it isn't a part of her main team its still a great accomplishment." Cynthia starts to walk up to Amelia as she says this with Anabel following decently close behind with me in her arms.

While I'm looking at Amelia she's acting a little wierd as she hasn't spoken but her 'aura' is going a little wild. 'Ah. I see she must be from my generation. I mean the people who were terrorized but Cythia and her overpowered Garchomp I mean why'd they give her that busted ass team! Garchomp, Sprirtomb, Roserade, Milotic. It's so strong that my 10 year old brain couldn't comprehend it. Plus I didn't even know how the dragon type worked back then I just knew that it resistened everything that my Pokemon could do to it! Plus-'

While I go on my tangent Amelia's aura flares up as she starts to...Fangirl? Over the icon that is Cynthia so much that Anabel takes multiple steps back in fear? Or maybe surprise?

And through my thoughts I hear the words "Want to battle" which immediately rock me from any previous thoughts as Anabel puts me down and Amelia pick me back up. "I really want to battle you but Jarl and Doku are pretty hurt so can I please use Kage! He's really strong! I promise I won't disappoint!"

 'Wat.' Cynthia to my astonishment seems to actual think about battling but instead she looks at me and asks a question. "I'm not against it but it doesn't seem like your Eevee want to. Unless they are up to the challenge?"

With Amelia, Cynthia, Anabel, Darach and even Caitlin looking at me in curiosity I put on the spot. '....This is stupid. why'd you put me on the spot like this? I'm not good under pressure. But this is such a good opportunity. I get to see the one of strongest trainers Pokemon in action which gives me a measure to assess myself on. But on the other hand I'm gonna get my ass beat!...Fuck it.'

Steeling myself and matching Cynthia's gaze with a almost out of character glare for my normally upbeat actions I hope out of Amelia's arms and go over to the arena.

While Amelia is kinda taken aback she quickly comes over and stands back to her position while Cynthia goes over to where Caitlin was and stands while to my horror the already out Garchomp walks over to her.

Although Garchomp stands next to her without doing anything else. "Amelia! I won't hold back just like you asked so you better be prepared!" While Amelia nods I'm cursing in my own head as Cynthia throws out a Pokemon revealing a Glaceon.

'Oh. That's not that bad. I mean that's an anime exclusive right its probably not that bad compared to some other choices.' (P.S He's wrong Glaceon isn't an anime exlusive she uses it in Unova on multiple teams like the Undela town battle and the World Tournament. Though not in the Battle Tree for whatever reason.)

With Darach as the referee he counts both Amelia and Cynthia off as he times the battle to begin.

"3.2.1. Begin!"
