Rainbow and Rarity smirked to each other, both waited for the match to start once more. Brock looked at both contestants and asked seriously “Are you both ready?” they nodded, and he smirked. He turned and yelled out to the crowd “Welcome back to the second part of the match between the trainers Rarity and Rainbow Dash!” The ponies cheered, albeit a few nobles were still a bit unnerved about the whole fighting with powerful creatures, but in the end could not deny the excitement it brought.
As Brock turned back towards the two trainers, he smirked and said loudly, for everypony to hear clearly “Since Rarity holds the leading part, she will send out her Pokémon first!” to which Rarity smiled and nodded as she levitated a pokéball out and called calmly “Grace the field with your beauty Lady Milotic.” And the same long beautiful water snake appeared on the arena, to the awe of many ponies who thought the creature a work of art itself.
Rainbow smirked and said confidently “I knew you would do that. I CALL YOU JOLTEON! SHOCK THE CROWD!” with that the small yellow sharp-furred lightning Pokémon appeared with a sharp cry “Jolt jolt!”
Rainbow, fast as always, was the quickest and called out instantly “USE SHOCKWAVE!” to which Rarity yelled, as the lightning came closer to her precious Pokémon “Dodge it!”
Milotic obeyed, but was shocked, as was Rarity, when the lightning just followed her after she dodged it and hit her in the back. She let out a cry in pain, making many ponies wince, as the electricity worked through her entire being and Rarity called “Counter with a Twister!” a bit of panic in her voice from seeing her Pokémon suffer.
Milotic obeyed quickly, snapped free from the electricity, and threw her tail towards Jolteon, releasing a twister that picked up rubble and stones from the ground. Jolteon gritted his teeth with a glare, as he stood his ground without beating a sweat.
Rainbow smirked and said “That trick again? Jolteon! Shoot lightning into the middle!” Jolteon obeyed instantly again, standing in front of the rapidly approaching twister, before he released a thick lightning strike into the middle. Rarity opened her eyes in shock and called out “USE PROTECT!” The lightning hit a green shield that appeared in the last second, saving Milotic as she was panting lightly, Jolteon was smirking in victory, not even out of breath yet.
Rarity was biting her lip nervously, not seeing many options, but could not change a pokémon due to the rules. She suddenly looked at Rainbow and called “Milotic. Use surf.” Suddenly Milotics eyes glowed blue and a massive wave of water formed under her. The wave began to storm towards Jolteon, who growled in anger. Rainbow smirked and said “Your loss.” As she called out “USE THUNDER!”
Jolteon grinned and stood its ground, his body began to glow in a yellow light, the air cracking with electricity and the ponies could feel the static in their manes as they shivered from the power. Suddenly the pokémon let out a loud cry “JOOL!”
The ponies nearly screamed out as a lightning strike the size of a house stormed towards the tsunami inside the dome. The lightning hit the wave and filled the water with electricity, making the pokémon on top of it scream out in pain. The water kept sparking with electricity as it continued, before it rammed into Jolteon. Jolteon was hit back harshly against the shield, before he stood up again, soaked for the skin, but smirked as Milotic was lying on the ground unconscious. Brock grinned and called “MILOTIC IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! JOLTEON IS THE WINNER!”
Rarity was quick and yelled “TAKE THE STAGE VAPOREON!” as the water evolution of Eevee arrived at the arena, the grace and style of the pokémon was very impressive “Use Water Pulse before he can recover!” as Jolteon was still dizzy from the earlier hit. The pulse of water soon hit the lightning pokémon, slammed it hard into the shield again with a cry in pain, before it fell to the ground with a growl in anger. He got up quickly and glared at his sister as she smirked back.
“Use Thundershock!” Rainbow ordered with a grimace, causing the pokémon fired a bolt of lightning towards the water Pokémon. The Vaporeon dodged the attack with a graceful jump, before it runs towards the offending attacker with great speed as Rarity had ordered it to use Quick Attack just before that.
“Dodge it!” but it was too late. Jolteon had taken too much damage to manage to dodge that and was slammed hard into, making it cry out in pain as it was sent across the field and Rainbow glared hard “Return with a Discharge!” as the lightning pokémon obeyed and send a charge of electricity towards the water pokémon, hitting it directly and made it scream in pain from the double damage. The attack soon ended as Rarity grimaced in anger and said “End this with an ice beam!” The water pokémon started the ice beam, which caused Rainbow to widen her eyes in shock and yell “DODGE IT!”
Yet again was Jolteon too tired and stood there, trembling and shaking in exhaustion, before the ice attack hit him directly and sent him flying back into the shield with a blast, before he rolled onto the ground, unconscious.
“And Jolteon is unable to battle! Vaporeon is the winner! Rainbow, call out your last pokémon!” Brock called, as Rainbow recalled the tired electric type, and instantly sent out the last “Let’s rock! GO AERODACTYL!” With a loud roar the huge rock/flying type appeared on the field with a dark, sharp toothed grin as he expanded his wings and roared again in victory, making Rarity back away lightly with a gulp, while a few ponies screamed and/or fainted. Rainbow grinned and said “Use Agility! Get into the air!” The pokémon obeyed instantly once more, shooting into the air with amazing speed as it increased its general speed for the match and Rarity glared with gritted teeth “Try to get it down with Water Pulse!”
A series of water rings was fired towards the flying ancient pokémon who dodged them all, albeit the last one was a close call, as Rainbow called with a grin “Use Wing Attack! Followed by Crunch!” The wings of the large reptile began to glow white, as he flew towards the water pokémon who waited for command from her trained as Rarity called out “Try to slow him down with a Water Pulse!”
The pokémon obeyed again, shooting the powerful water attack on the rock-type as it hit directly, but he just glared harder, angered from the pain, and rammed a wing into the small pokémon, before quickly he quickly followed the second command and rammed his sharp teeth down over Vaporeons tale. The water type let out a scream in pain, trying to get away and get her tail to safety, before Rarity called “USE WATER PULSE CLOSE RANGE!” at the same time Rainbow called out “USE ANCIENT POWER!” the huge rocks collided with the water attack, making a huge explosion and the silence hung in the hall.
Suddenly a large figure flew out of the cloud with a roar in victory, as the smoke cleared and Vaporeon was lying on the ground, unconscious. Aerodactyl landed with a tired pant, obviously a bit hurt, but still got fight in him.
Brock called out with an excited yell “AND VAPOREON IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! RARITY! Send out your last pokémon!” to which Rarity obeyed with a grin “prepare for my pride and joy of my team! I call upon you Altaria!” as she summoned the dragon-type.
The cloud-pokémon appeared on the field, a blue swan-like bird with a soft cloud surrounding its body as it let out a soft bird-song, which caused the ponies to smile. Rainbow grinned and said “Aerodactyl! Start with Ancient Power!” to which the stone-flying type fired several huge rocks towards the dragon-bird.
“Dodge it my dear.” Rarity said with a calm smile, to which Rainbow gritted her teeth in frustration as the pokémon dodged the stones with grace and beauty.
“Return with a graceful Round attack.” Rarity called out, and Altaria obeyed with letting out a beautiful cry as a few visible sound notes flew towards Aerodactyl and hit him hard, making him growl in pain, but otherwise ignore the damage. He was still part rock and a normal attack had reduced damage.
He growled angrily and glared at the pokémon, as Rainbow yelled with equal irritation “Use Super Sonic!” as he fired a sound wave towards the pokémon, nearly hitting her, but she managed to dodge in the last second, and she called again quickly “Continue with Ancient Power!”
The large prehistoric Pokémon quickly fired several stones towards Altaria, who dodged a few off them, before she got hit by the rest and let out a cry in pain. The aerial Pokémon glared at the large Pokémon and Rarity called out “USE DRAGONBREATH!” and it instantly fired a purple fire towards the Pokémon, making it cry out in pain as it dodged too late and was hit on the wing.
Aerodactyl was still in the air, but flying unsteadily due to the hurt wing, as he growled angrily. He glared at the dragon-Pokémon and was ready to attack, when Rainbow yelled, knowing he was hurt and would have a hard time doing aerial attacks “Use another Ancient Power!” She grimaced, hating using this attack over and over, but her Aerodactyl was not high enough in power to have learned more prominent attacks, and she was forced to do this. Aerodactyl tried to obey and blasted many stones towards Altaria, who dodged them all as Rarity called “Use Agility to dodge and follow by another Dragonbreath!”
The Pokémon vanished from sight in an incredible show of speed and agility as it dodged every single rock and appeared right in front of Aerodactyl, its beak burning in purple fire as Rainbow muttered “Oh...” and Aerodactyl let out a roar in pain as it was blasted point blank and was sent to the ground in a burning fire, howling in pain. As he crashed into the ground a pillar of dusk and smoke appeared.
It cleared after a few strokes of wind from Rainbow Dash, who was worried for her friend and Pokémon, and in the middle laid Aerodactyl unconscious and with swirling eyes and Brock yelled out “AND THERE WE HAVE IT PONIES! AERODACTYL IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! RARITY IS THE WINNER!” causing ponies to cheer loudly.
Rarity blushed a bit, but smiled proudly as she shook hooves with Rainbow Dash and said “thanks for a good battle.” And Rainbow nodded with a smirk “You too Rarity. Now be sure to win! I don’t want to lose to you, only for you to loose next round!” Rarity smirked and nodded.
They both exited the arena, where they were met by their friends, who greeted them with a tight hug, and Twilight said happily, as Ash observed them all “That was amazing girls! It was so intense how you battled and I honestly said I was not even sure who would win!” To which Pinkie continued.
“Yeah! It was like Pow! And the SWISH! And ROOARR! AND KABLOOW!” As she made hoof movements to each sound effect.
They all looked at Ash, waiting for his comment. He stepped up and said “I can honestly said, that it was quite the match.
You have both trained your Pokémon very well, and you should both be proud of the battle you just fought. I can give a few hints. Rainbow, you need to think about your attacks, before you attack. Strategy is a big part of the battle and brute strength won’t win much in the end. Rarity, you got excellent strategy, but I can also see you put more focus into certain
Pokémon, such as Milotic, and that can be a big mistake. You can’t depend on one Pokémon alone and needs to give all of them equal attention.” They both nodded, showing their understanding, and smiled happily.
He grinned and said “Now let to see who the next are to battle!”
They all turned towards the screen and were shocked, when they saw the names: Twilight Sparkle vs. Fluttershy, the first one looked a bit nervous of battling the shy pegasi, who looked equally horrified.
