"So, Jewelz how do you propose we judge the battle?" asked Jason curiously. They had walked a ways away from the others so they were standing on a small hill battlefield that was still intact.
"With this." replied Jewelz. Jason was confused until he saw her pull out a small round ob
ject. It wasn't quite like a poke'ball because it was flatter and blue with white on the sides. She put it down in the place where a judge would stand and clapped three times. The disk opened on the white sides to reveal arms that held flags, the typical red and green. A part of the top opened up as well and became a head with a single eye.
"Since when did you get that Jewelz?" asked Jason in awe.
"A while back when I was still traveling in Hoenn." she replied. "I met and inventor who had a bunch of random things lying around that he'd made and this was one of them."
"Oh." replied Jason. He hadn't been traveling with Jewelz when she was in Hoenn, they had met on her journeys in Sinnoh.
"So are we going to start this battle or just stand here talking?" joked Jewelz.
"Battle!" they both yelled as they rushed to their spots. To Jason's surprise, the machine began to speak as if it was a human judge.
"Alright Trainers!" it said in it's robotic voice, "This is a two on two double battle, so bring out your poke'mon!"
"Here goes!" yelled Jason as he sent out Darkus and Slinx. They both growled and looked towards Jewelz, waiting to see their opponents.
"Time to battle!" shouted Jewelz and she flung her poke'balls in the air. Claw and Keru then stood parallel to Darkus and Slinx, waiting for their trainers' orders.
The robot spoke to symbolize the beginning of the battle and Jewelz told Jason to go first.
He started by having Darkus use Haze and Slinx use Shockwave.
Jewelz was expecting this though and deflected his attacks easily by having Claw use Blizzard to get rid of the haze and Keru use Sacred Sword to act as a lightning rod which it then discharged into the ground, nullifying the Shockwave's effects.
Jason knew this was going to be a tough battle, but he'd never thought how tough. She had been a trainer before he'd even gotten his first poke'mon, so he was at a experience disadvantage. He had no idea how this battle would turn out, but he knew it would be fun.
Jewelz thought, he must be getting really confident to challenge me. She remembered last time that had happened, a six on six when they had met. She had defeated all of his poke'mon with just her Meganium and apparently she wasn't even her strongest poke'mon. She had just been training Meganium when he challenged her. Even his Infernape somehow lost to Meganium. Jason had fallen to the ground and cried and she had consoled him. That face he wore when he looked up at her was what made her ask him if he wanted to travel together. Since then, they had gone to both Kanto and Johto together and she'd helped him get stronger, but not once, had he gotten up the courage to challenge her again, not even after she coaxed him to. Now he had that old fire in his eyes and she knew he would give it everything he got. The question was, should she?
