Chapter 7
I woke up that morning, unable to sleep any longer. Kevin and Devin were both awake and talking, Kirsol was still asleep, and Kirer-ice was awake, but barely. That's because she was awake all of last night. I walked over to Devin and Kevin.
Kevin got startled. "You scared me," he was catching his breath. "Anyways, I'm Kevin."
"Good morning Kiro," Devin said. "You've been asleep for quite a while now."
I remembered that Kirer-ice told me that they could now understand Pokemon speech. "That's because this was the first time in a while that I've gotten to sleep."
"Well," Devin said. "If you're still tired, you can go back to sleep if you want."
"I'm ok," I said.
"If you say so," Devin responded.
"Oh yeah..." I sighed. "Kirer-ice told me what happened."
"It should be resolved soon though," Devin reassured me. "Right now people are still afraid to believe that Mewthree's grip on you is now gone."
"Umm..." I wondered. "humans have trouble telling different pokemon of the same species apart, right? So how would they know I wasn't just another umbreon?"
"Usually..." Kevin started. "but your eyes never went back to their orriginal color. They're still red, and you have that scar still from when Tiamatria clawed you."
"I forgot about that," I said. "And what do you mean about my eyes being red? They were always red."
"I ment they're more red than usual. Sorry I don't have a mirror or I would show you." Kevin answered.
"I have one," Devin reached into his backpack and pulled out a handheld mirror and pointed it towards me.
"Woah," I stared at my image in the mirror. They were right, my eyes were almost nothing but red, and the scar on my side was huge.
After a few minutes of talking, someone happened to pass by.
"Hey," he said. "I'm Willis, you're Devin, right?"
"Yeah," Devin answered. "I'm not battling though."
"I'll battle you if you want," Kevin said.
"Ok..." Willis responded. "Do you want me to record this for YouTube?"
"Sure," Kevin said excited. "I've never been recorded battling before."
So Willis got a camera set up and I sat along the sidelines by Devin and Kirsol, who had now woken up. Both trainers had 6 pokemon out each. Kevin had out Cannon, Zilla, Kirer-ice, Nightmare, Distauryer, and Absolion. Willis had out a weavile, arcanine, forretress, sceptile, gallade, and feraligatr.
"Cannon," Kevin commanded. "Use stealth rock!" Cannon made rocks spin around Willis's pokemon.
"KillerInMe, get out there..." Willis's arcanine stepped forward.
"Zilla, protect Cannon from any fire attacks that arcanine will use," Zilla stepped in the way, but KillerInMe was already getting ready to use iron tail. Luckily, Zilla managed to dodge it. "My tyranitar is faster than most are." Arcanine came back with another iron tail, this time it hit, but Zilla still had some health left, then Zilla used earthquake, which took the arcanine out.
"Go Feralgatr..." Willis's Feraligatr stepped forward this time, but the rocks hurt him a little. "Dragon Dance.." Feraligatr used Dragon Dance.
"You won't get by me," he said.
"We'll see about that," Zilla responded, then she used stone edge on him. The Feralgatr countered Zilla with waterfall. Zilla was now out of this battle.
"Go Absulion!" Kevin's absol stepped forward.
"I'll take you down as well," Feralgatr said as he began to run at Absulion.
"Not so fast!" Absulion used sucker punch, which always goes first if the opponent tries to attack.
"Jukain..." Willis's Sceptile, Jukain, stepped forward, also getting hurt by the stealth rocks. Then Jukain used leaf storm, which took Absulion out. Now the score was even again.
"Come on Kirer-ice, you can take him," Kirer-ice stepped forward, ready to battle. I never saw Kirer-ice battle before, I was curious to see how she would do.
"Ballin'," Willis said. "Block that weavile's ice punch." His forretress blocked Kirer-ice's ice punch from hitting Jukain.
"You know what to do Kirer-ice" Kevin said. Although she was afraid to stay in, she used taunt anyways to prevent Ballin' from doing something that would hurt kevin's whole team. Unfortunately, the forretress used gyro ball, which hurt Kirer-ice badly, so she fainted. It was hard to stop myself from running to her, but this was a battle after all, so I couldn't help.
Kevin's lucario, Distauryer, came forward and used aura sphere on Ballin', the forretress used Earthquake, which hurt Distaurter pretty badly, but Distauryer hung in there and used a second aura sphere, which took Ballin' out of the battle.
"Go Crossblade... We've got this..." Willis said. His gallade ran forward in an attempt to attack Distauryer, but Cannon got in the way of gallade's close combat instead. Cannon used rest right there to heal itself up, then it work up right away because of its lum berry. Willis's weavile, Avenger, was about to step forward to attack Cannon, but Crossblade stopped it, and then used close combat on Cannon again, and then Cannon used toxic on Crossblade. The Cannon used protect, so crossblade couldn't attack, and the poison was only getting worse. Cannon used rest again, but at the same time, Jukain ran forward to attack, but the stealth rocks delayed him just long enough for Kevin's spiritomb, Nightmare, to block his focus blast. But then Avenger came in to block Nightmare's shadow ball, though it did still hurt Avenger some, and he was already about to faint. Avenger aimed an ice punch at Nightmare, but Distauryer stepped in the way to save Nightmare, but ended up getting KOed in the process, so Cannon was hte only hope left, and he was asleep. So Avenger kept trying to attack Cannon, though it was futile, and eventually Avenger fainted due to exhaustion, and Cannon woke up just as Jukain stepped forward, though he was getting worn out too. So Jukain used leaf storm, expecting to have Nightmare get in the way again, but he didn't, so the attack hit Cannon, but Cannon was still hanging on, so he used toxic again, and poisoned Jukain. Now both of Willis's pokemon were poisoned. Crossblade stepped forward again, but Cannon used protect, so Crossblade couldn't hit him. Nightmare got in the way to block his close combat, then Cannon blocked his night slash, and then Crossblade fainted from the poison. Jukain was Willis's last hope. Cannon used protect again, which blocked Jukain's energy ball, and now jukain looked about finnished now, so in one last desperate attemt, it tried to use energy ball again but Nightmare protected Cannon, but it got hurt badly in the process. Luckily, Jukain fainted from the poison. Kevin won, and it was recorded.
"Geeze, your pokemon just wouldn't die..." Willis was surprised.
Kevin smiled. "I know."
"Anyways, goot battle. I'll be posting this video on YouTube soon."
"Really? I can't wait to watch. I would stay to talk, but I need to go to a pokemon center now." So kevin rushed to the nearest town to a pokemon center and the rest of us followed. I think Willis just kept on going after we left.
