She finally had done it! The four orange islands’ badges! She could participate to the Orange League battle. She went in Pummelo isle to register. “Name and hometown.”, a serious-looking receptionist told Chavella. “Moonlight, Chavella from Kumquat Isle.” “Please show me your four badges.” The receptionist verified if the badges were the real ones and they were, obviously. “You’ll battle the champion Dreak soon, just after you tell me the six pokemon that you’ll use for the battle.” “Ok, I’ll use Pidjey, Marill, Vaporeon, Snubull, Quilava and Jigglypuff.” “What? Don’t you make evolve your pokemon? Are you sure you want to participate? This a serious battle. Go train some more and evolve your pokemon…” “What? The evolution doesn’t show how good a pokemon is. The true strength of a pokemon is inside their heart! Anyway, I don’t have time to train, if I want to see Charles soon… My pokemon are the best and I believe in them.” “…but a Pidjey!” “What’s the matter with you? My Pidjey is really good, even though she’s not a Pidgeot yet! Watch my battle and you’ll see! I want to fight against Dreak, NOW!” “Ok, ok, follow me…” Chavella followed. She entered in a big arena and a guy of about 25 years old was there, ready for battling. “So you want to battle me, huh? What’s your name?”, the champion asked Chavella. “I’m Chavella Moonlight from Kumquat.” “What an odd last name, but, well, good luck, Chavella.” “Thanks, you too.” “The challenger may change pokemon, but the champion won’t.”, the judge explained. “This is a 6 on 6 battle. If the challenger wins, she and her pokemon will remain in the Pummelo Hall of Fame forever. Good luck to both battlers and let the battle begin!” “Go Ditto!”, Dreak called. “A Ditto, huh? I choose Quilava.” “Ditto, transform!” “Cindy, dig!” “La, va!”, Cindy replied. “I knew you’ll be obeying me someday!”, Chavella explained. “It’s normal, you won all the gym badges, she is sure to obey you.”, Dreak explained. “I didn’t knew that.” “Ditto, dig too!” “Oh, no! “ Quilava popped out of the ground, Ditto did too and damaged Cindy with a super- effective hit. “Cindy, are you all right?”, Chavella asked her pokemon. “La.”, she replied, meaning that she could still go on. “OK, now use return!” The attack really damaged the low-defence Ditto. “Ditto is unable to battle, Quilava wins!”, the judge declared. “Well done, you were great, Cindy!”, Chavella exclaimed. “Do you wish to change pokemon?” “Yes, Cindy, return!” “You did well Ditto, you deserve a good rest.”, Dreak congratulated. “Now, let me introduce you Onix!” “Oooo!” “Well, let me introduce you Marill!”, Chavella replied. “Marrrilllll!” “Minnie, surf!” “Whoa!”, the judge exclaimed. “Onix is unable to battle! Marill wins!” “That was phenomenal, Minnie, you’re great too! Victory is ours!” “:Until here, you did well, but this time, you have no chance!”, Dreak exclaimed as he send a very powerful-looking Gengar. “GAAAAAAARRRRR!” “Do you wish to change pokemon?”, the judge asked Chavella. “Sure.”, she replied. “Minnie, return! I choose you, Pidgey!” “You think you’re clever by choosing a normal pokemon, but don’t be so sure of yourself!”, Dreak warned. “Gengar, ice beam!“ “Gengaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!” “Piiiiidjey!” Marilou fell down. “Pidgey is unable to battle, Gengar wins.”, the judge announced. “You did your best Marilou, well done!”, Chavella told her flying buddy. “Don’t listen to what that dumb receptionist said, you’re the best!” Marilou returned in her pokeball. “I choose you, Ida!” “Another normal pokemon, impress me, now!”, the champion said, ironicly. “Gengar, use ice beam!” “Ida, bite it!” The two attack damaged each opponent a lot… but they were still ready for another turn! “Gengar, ice beam, again!” “No, Ida! Don’t let his happen! No!“ Ida was frozen solid! “Gengar, make her faint with thunderbolt!” “Gaaaaaaaaarrrr!” “Snubull is unable to battle, Gengar wins again!”, the judge declared. “Good, Ida, return, you deserve that rest.”, Chavella said. “So I lost two pokemon, I’ll have to use my secret weapon. GO!”
