Indigo Plateau

+ Green!

So you actually made it, Caldette.

+ I told you not to call me that!

So you think you can ruin my big day? Well think again, I’m going to ruin your day!

+ What? I’m not here for that!

You’ve come all this way and you’re not interested in becoming the champion?

+ No!

Well what are you here for?

+ The records in the Hall of Fame, I need to look someone up.

Really? You’re still looking for that boy in the photo? Who is he, why is he so important?

+ He’s my little brother, Caldar.

Your brother?

Hahaha! This is perfect!

+ So you’ll let me past?

No.

+ But why?

I want you to suffer! I’ll bar you from entry to the Hall of Fame, I’ll look up your brother and then I’ll never tell you what I learn!

+ You…

Come at me, Caldette!

Go Sandslash!

+ Go Eve!

+ You know the drill, Eve. Surf!



Fury Swipes!

Sandslash is washed away from Eve’s tidal wave.

Go Alakazam!

+ Eve return! Go Selene!

+ Body Slam!



Psychic!

Selene leaps over Alakazam but before she comes back down she just stops in mid air. Alakazam gestures with one of its spoons and Selene is sent flying into the roof, Alakazam waves its spoon and Selene is dragged across the roof. Raking through the supports under the roof Selene slams into the far wall and smashed to the floor. The damaged roof collapses into the arena revealing the night sky above.

+ Selene!!

Selene is lying amongst the rubble, staring at the sky.

The moon looks so beautiful tonight…

Selene draws her last breath.

Selene…



+ Summer! Go!



+ Slash!



Psychic!

For Selene!

Summer takes flight and jets towards Alakazam baring her claws and swipes them across Alakazam’s chest. Alakazam waves its spoon, propelling Summer into the arena wall.

Guh!

+ Slash!



Psychic!

Summer leaps off the wall and takes flight again, she suddenly stops in mid air. Alakazam motions with its spoon and Summer smashes into the ground before being lifted up and smashed into the ground again. And again, and again, and again until the flame on her tail snuffs out.

+ Summer no!!

Hahaha!

+ Terra!



We’ve got this!

+ Slash!



Kenisis!

Terra zips past Alakazam, somehow causing cuts to appear on it. Alakazam points its spoon at Terra and it bends.

+ Slash!



Psychic!

Terra zips past Alakazam again, Alakazam collapses to the floor.

Go Exeggutor!

+ Sand Attack!



Leech Seed!

Terra flings sand in Exeggutor’s faces. Exeggutor spits a small seed at Terra which sprouts on contact and wraps tendrils around her.

+ Sand Attack!



Leech Seed!

Terra flings more sand at Exeggutor, another seed hits her but nothing happens until the first seed begins draining energy from her.

+ Slash!



Leech Seed!

Terra darts past Exeggutor, wounding its flank. Exeggutor flings another seed but it doesn’t seem to affect how the first is draining energy from Terra.

+ Slash!



Leech Seed!

Terra makes another pass, wounding Exeggutor further. The sprouted seed continues to drain energy from Terra, the extra seed spat from Exeggutor bounces off her harmlessly.

+ Slash!



Leech Seed!

Terra zips past Exeggutor again but goes a little too wide and misses it. The leech seed keeps doing its job.

I think Leech Seed is all he’s got!

+ Terra return! Go Eve!



Leech Seed!

As Eve entered the arena Exeggutor spat a seed at her but it completely missed.

+ Aurora Beam!



Leech Seed!

Eve fired a beam of ever changing colours that struck one of Exeggutor’s faces. Another seed spat by Exeggutor lands on Eve and sprouts.

+ Aurora Beam!



Leech Seed!

Exeggutor got another multicoloured beam to the face before spitting another seed.

+ Aurora Beam!



Green sprayed a full restore onto Exeggutor before Eve gave it the aurora face treatment.

+ Aurora Beam!



Leech Seed!

Eve aimed for a different face on Exeggutor while it continued to spit seeds.

+ Aurora Beam!



Leech Seed!

Eve fired at the next face along, figuring if she hit them all then something special might happen. Exeggutor seemed to only know how to spit seeds.

+ Aurora Beam!



Leech Seed!

Eve repositions herself to get a better aim at the remaining heads on Exeggutor and fired her boreal ray at the next available one. Unwilling to change strategy, Exeggutor spat another useless seed.

+ Aurora Beam!



Leech Seed!

Eve started to get good at aiming for the head, hitting the next one between the eyes. Exeggutor predictably spat out yet another seed.

+ Aurora Beam!

Leech Seed!

Before Exeggutor could spit one last seed, Eve fired her beam right in the last head’s mouth. With no conscious heads remaining, Exeggutor slumps to the floor.

Go Cloyster!

+ Eve return! Go Joule!

Time to make some clam chowder!

+ Thunder!



Spike Cannon!

Joule formed a giant lightning bolt and threw it at Cloyster with both hands. Cloyster tipped over to avoid the bolt and fired a volley of sharp spikes at Joule, most of them hit her in various places.

Ow! It learned a new trick!

+ Thunder!



Spike Cannon!

Joule throws another huge bolt, striking Cloyster in the face this time and cooking it from the inside.

Tougher than I thought…

Go Ninetales!

+ Joule get back! Go Terra!

+ Earthquake!



Confuse Ray!

The ground shook violently and broke apart, shattering into millions of pieces and scattering rubble everywhere. When the dust settled Ninetales fired a psychedelic beam at Terra.

+ Earthquake!



Fire Spin!

Terra zipped across the arena and slammed into the wall. Ninetales breathed a stream of fire at Terra which formed into a blazing cyclone around her, scorching her until nothing was left.

Terra!

+ No no no no!

I dropped to my knees, unable to move or say anything else. Everything looked like it was underwater.

Ahaha! Go ahead, send in your next Pokémon!

Don’t give up now!

I said nothing, only watched my tears collect on the floor as I sobbed.

Fine! Eve! It’s only a fire type, you can do this!

Let’s finish this quickly!

A Surf should do it!

Confuse Ray!

Ninetales hits Eve with another eerie ray. Eve charges head on in Ninetales’ general direction but trips up on the rubble.

Come on, snap out of it! Both of you!

Quick Attack!

Ninetales slammed into Eve at speed, knocking her to the side. Eve responded in kind, only to hit the arena wall.

I can still do it!

Quick Attack!

Before Eve could stand up again, Ninetales smacked into her again and knocked her up against the wall. Eve slumped to the ground and stopped moving.

Cally!

I could barely hear anything around me.

Fine, it’s up to me…

Joule hopped into the arena.

Feeling tired already, one big Thunderbolt should do it…

Fire Spin!

+ !

Everything slowed down, I could see the dust particles in the air, the sparks arcing from Joule’s cheeks, and the flames streaming from Ninetales’ mouth. I jumped to my feet and started sprinting onto the arena floor.

The sparks from Joule’s cheeks were arcing across her body and to her arm, morphing into a single lightning bolt. Ninetales’ flames came closer and closer. I leaped for Joule, the look of determination on her face quickly changed to that of surprise, the lightning bolt in her hand dissipated.

I grabbed ahold of Joule as the flames surrounded us.
