Tiara called out a Gyarados! "And Tiara brings out her Gyarados! This Pokemon is extremely strong!" the announcer exclaimed. Giselle gulped. "Graveler, try another Body Slam!" she cried. Graveler hurled itself at the Gyarados.
"Gyarados, use your Dragon Rage!" Tiara yelled. "RRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!" the Gyarados yelled, making a massive cyclone that Graveler gets caught in. "GRRRAAAAVVVV!!!!!" it yelled. "Graveler, return! Go, Marowak!" Giselle cried, switching Pokemon. "Marowak!" her starter Pokemon exclaimed.
"Marowak, Skull Bash!" she commanded. Marowak ran at Gyarados, head first. "Gyarados, Blizzard!" Tiara yelled. "RRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the dragon yelled, releasing blasts of ice at the ground Pokemon. It froze Marowak in an ice cube.
"Marowak!" Giselle cried. "Marowak has been stopped dead in its tracks by a powerful Blizzard!" the announcer exclaimed. "Return! Go, Vileplume!" Giselle yelled. Vilplume flashed out. "And Giselle calls out her Vileplume as her last Pokemon! Who will win this battle?" the announcer said.
"Vileplume, Solar Beam now!" Giselle cried. "VIIIIIILLLLLEEEEEPLLLLUUUUMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!" the plant Pokemon screamed, releasing the beam of light. "Gyarados, use your Hyper Beam now!" Tiara yelled. "RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!" Gyarados yelled, releasing the golden beam. Both beams collided and exploded, leaving smoke to fill the arena. When the smoke cleared, one Pokemon was standing strong.
It was Gyarados. Vileplume had fainted from the blast. "I lost..." a tear-filled Giselle said, returning her injured Pokemon. "And Gyarados is still standing! Tiara wins the match!" the announcer exclaimed.
Giselle walked silently out of the stadium in sadness.

*>Later*

Giselle stayed to watch the other battles with her friends, hoping to see Joe. But she didn't. She just watched the rest of the fifth-round battles. Then, the sixth-round battles came. She watched them all. Then, the last sixth-round battle.
She watched as the red trainer released a Fearow while the green trainer released a Pidgeot. "Fearow, use Drill Peck!" the red trainer yelled. "Feeeeaaaarrrr!!!!" the bird screamed, diving at the Pidgeot. "Pidgeot, Agility and then Wing Attack!" the green trainer yelled. "Pidgeotooooo!!!!!!!!" the bird Pokemon screeched, dodging the Drill Peck and hitting the Fearow with its Wing Attack.
"Hey, that green trainer's voice sounds familiar, yet it still seems different," Giselle said. She watched as the Pidgeot finished off the Fearow with a Sky Attack. Then, the red trainer recalled his bird and called out an Electabuzz. "Electabuzz, use Thunder now!" the red trainer yelled. "BUUUUUZZZZZZ!!!!!!!" Electabuzz shouted, releasing the powerful blast on the Pidgeot.
"PIIIIIIIIIIIIDDGGEEEEEOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!" the Pidgeot screeched in pain. "Pidgeot, return! Go, Jolteon!" the green trainer yelled, releasing a new Pokemon. "Jolt Jolt!" the Jolteon said. "Jolteon, use your Pin Missile attack!" the green trainer yelled. "JOOOOOOLLLLLLTTTTTT!!!!!!!!" the Jolteon yelled, releasing yellow needles from its body.
The Pin Missile hit Electabuzz. He didn't faint, though. "Okay, Electabuzz, use your Thunderpunch!" the red trainer yelled. "Buzz!" Electabuzz exclaimed, charging up his fists. "Jolteon, Take Down!" the green trainer yelled.
"Jolt Jolt Jolt Jolt!" Jolteon yelled, ramming Electabuzz into the wall behind the red trainer. "Electabuzz, return! Go, Rhyhorn!" he yelled. Rhyhorn appeared. "Use your Take Down!" the red trainer yelled. Rhyhorn charged at Jolteon, ramming him into the wall behind the green trainer.
"Jolteon, return! Go, Sandslash!" he yelled. Sandslash appeared. "Sandslash, go underground!" he yelled. "Slash!" the mouse Pokemon exclaimed, going underground. The Rhyhorn looked both confused and scared.
"Sandslash, Dig!" the green trainer yelled. "SLLLLLAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!!!" the Sandslash yelled, coming up under the Rhyhorn and sending him flying. "Return, Rhyhorn! Go, Cloyster!" the red trainer yelled. Cloyster appeared. "Cloyster!" it said.
"Cloyster, Use Aurora Beam!" the red trainer yelled. "CLOOOOYYYYSTEEEERRR!!!!!!" it yelled, releasing a beam of different colors at Sandslash. It hit him, sending him flying. "Return, Sandslash! Go, Rapidash!" the green trainer yelled. Rapidash appeared. "Rapid!" it neighed.
"Rapidash, use your Fire Spin!!" the green trainer yelled.
"DAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!!!" the fiery horse neighed as it ran around Cloyster, enveloping it in flames. When the fire cleared, Cloyster had fainted. "Cloyster, return! Go, Magmar!" the red trainer yelled. Magmar appeared. "Magmar," it said.
"Magmar, go! Fire Blast!" the red trainer yelled. "Rapidash, dodge the Fire Blast and use Take Down!" the green trainer exclaimed. Rapidash obeyed and ran out of the way of the Fire Blast. Then, it ran super-fast at Magmar, sending him into the wall. Magmar got back up.
"Rapidash, Horn Drill!" the green trainer yelled. Rapidash's horn glowed and spun fast. It ran over to Magmar and hit him with it. Magmar fainted. "Magmar, return! Go, Blastoise!" the red trainer yelled.
Blastoise appeared. "Hydro Pump now!" the red trainer yelled. "BLAST!" the turtle Pokemon exclaimed, firing powerful blasts water from its cannons. The water hit Rapidash and fainted it. "Rapidash, return! Go, Victreebel!" the green trainer yelled. Victreebel appeared.
"Bel!" it said. Giselle watched with wonder. "Joe might have evolved his Weepinbell. But I don't know if that's him," she said. "Victreebel, chomp on Blastoise's head and use Mega Drain!" the green trainer yelled. Victreebel obeyed and hurled itself onto Blastoise's head.
Victreebel started sucking the energy from Blastoise. "Blastoise, get free and use Mega Punch!" the red trainer yelled. Blastoise obeyed and managed to get free. Then, its fist glowed. "Victreebel, grab it with your vine!" the green trainer yelled.
Victreebel extended its vine and grabbed the arm of Blastoise that was glowing. "Solar Beam, now!" the green trainer yelled. Victreebel opened its trap and a ball of glowing energy started charging up. Blastoise looked afraid. "Fire the Solar Beam!" the green trainer yelled. "BEEEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Victreebel yelled, releasing its Solar Beam.
Blastoise didn't gert free of Victreebel's vine in time. The beam hit him, sending him into the wall. "Blastoise return. Go, Exeggutor!" the red trainer yelled. Exeggutor appeared. "Exeggutor!" it said.
"Exeggutor, Sleep Powder!" the red trainer yelled. Exeggutor sprayed its attack on Victreebel, putting it to sleep. "Victreebel, return! Go, Dragonite!" the green trainer yelled. Dragonite appeared. "And for his last Pokemon, the green trainer chooses Dragonite!" the announcer exclaimed.
"Dragonite, Fire Blast!" the green trainer yelled. "DRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" it yelled, releasing the fiery attack. The Fire Blast hit Exeggutor, setting it on fire. "Grrr. Exeggutor, return!" the red trainer grumbled. "And the green trainer, Joe McHallen, wins the Pokemon League competition! He must face the Elite Four next to win the title of Pokemon Master!" the announcer yelled.
Giselle gasped. It was Joe. Her true love had won.

My next chapter might take a while like this one. Hope you enjoy it!
