Pokemon The Force

The day after the battle, Soul was back inside the lobby again. Everything was the same, except for everyone was looking at him once in a while.

The display of power he showed yesterday made them wary of him and Noibat. Some were even jealous and thought that he was some kind of rich boy, who got that strong Pokemon without doing anything.

Announcer: Let's welcome the participants!

Just as the speakers said that they all walked to the stadium with Soul following behind them.

As soon as they went out, the crowds scream their names, cheerings was heard, as they all saw the same judge, they saw yesterday.

Tim: Hello, kids. The rules will be like yesterday, so pick a number from this box.

One by one took up a number. It was now Soul turns as he picked up the number, it was written with number six in the middle.

He went back with the others and waited for his match to come, so he can finally leave the arena.

It was not long after it was finally his turn, this time he would be fighting a girl who was not the one from the picture.

She had fair light skin with long red hair and crystal clear ruby eyes color. She wore a black tank-top shirt with a red skirt and black pants.

She seemed pretty nervous so he couldn't help but says.

Soul: Good luck and do your best.

Hearing this, the girl looked at him confused, before she understood what he meant and her face changed a bit. Much less nervous than before.

Girl: Un! I may lose, but this will be a good experience for me and my Pokemon to learn from!

Hearing this, he smiled for a second and went to his side of the arena. There, they both waited for the judge to announce to start their fight.

Tim: This is one vs one match. When the opponent's pokemon fainted, the opponent loses. Now bring out your Pokemons.

Girl: Go, Vulpix!

Soul: Noibat, let's go.

As of their Pokemon come out, the judge gave a signal for both of them to start. As he said that, the girl and her Vulpix started the first move.

Girl: Vulpix, use Ember!

As the girl said that, Vulpix gathered the flame energy in its mouth and spit it out, creating a ball of flame.

Soul: Counter it Supersonic, follow by Quick Attack.

Hearing what Soul said, it created a supersonic wave, sending it against the upcoming ember.

Both attacks collied and counter each other. Smokes being to spread out around the arena.

Girl: Vulpix, keep your guard up.

Vulpix listened to what the girl said, but it couldn't see anything and get suddenly hit by something from behind. Sending it flying to the sky.

The girl who saw Vulpix was sent to the sky by the bruise it got, begin to be nervous.

Girl: Vulpix!

Soul: Finish it with Wing Attack.

Before she could say anything more, Noibat suddenly flew up from below with both of its wings glowed white. It hit Vulpix, as it fell and fainted.

Tim: Vulpix fainted, the winner of this match is Soul Winterflame and Noibat!

The crowds cheered, as the girl smiled and went up to pick Vulpix. Vulpix looked a little bit sad, that they lost, but seeing its trainer smiles, it was a bit taken back.

Girl: Don't worry Vulpix, you did your best, besides we learned a lot from this tournament, didn't we? And… didn't you have fun?

Vulpix hearing this smiled and made a happy noise.

Soul seeing this he felt that the girl in front of him would become a great trainer one day. He walked to her and extend his hand.

Soul: Good fight, I'll hope that you'll be stronger when we have a rematch in the future.

Hearing what he said, she smiled cutely and took his hand and shakes it.

Girl: Un! I will for sure's beat you the next time we fight! From now on we're rivals!

Soul: Oh? Then mind telling me, my new rivals' name?

She blushed at this and scratches her head.

Ashley: My name is Ashley, Ashley Heartfire, nice to meet you, uhh...

Soul: Soul, Soul Winterflame. Remember that name, as we will be rivals from now on.

She nodded as both of them went out of the arena and stadium.

For the past few days, Soul and Ashley have been hanging out with each other, when they have free time.

They have been talking about their lives, Pokemons, and all the things they can come with. Soul has also been helping Ashley with how she should train her Vulpix.

They have exchange numbers so that they can text each other when the tournament is finished and they all would go back to their hometowns.

Soul's mom was happy that Soul finally has got a friend and it's a girl! She didn't know what to do but only see them hanging out with each other.

The tournament has been pretty easy, as Soul's Noibat has won all the fight easily and the next day would be the final.

Ashley: Hey Soul! Wanna hang out together? I have baked some sweets for you and Noibat!

Looking at her, he smiled and nodded. He didn't know why, but he felt that she is a very bright person and always making him smiles.

Even though she sometimes clumsy, she's pretty smart if she wants to be. He always finished his battles as quickly as possible to hang out with her.

Soul: 'Who's know maybe this relationship could go further on, but I want to go on adventures first. Relationsh.i.p.s can come later.'
