"Jewel, stop!" Crystal said right before her Raichu popped out. "No need to attack now. Just come out, but don't waste your energy jumping." The Arcanine was cured of paralysis and was now running around, so it would be useless to attack now. And since the other girl used a berry, she might as well use one too now that she remembered. "Jewel, come over here." She bent down, pulled out a Rawst Berry from her pocket, and held it out towards Jewel, motioning for her to come and eat it. She had quite a few berries from yesterday, when she had gone berry picking. She goes berry picking quite often since she needs berries to make poffins for her Pokemon.
Jewel dug out of the hole, and seeing the berry in Crystal's hand, eagerly ran over. She snatched the berry from Crystal's hand, and popped it into her mouth. It tasted bitter, like all Rawst Berries do, but she didn't care. The battle made her slightly hungry, and eating it would not only help relieve her hunger, but it would also cure her burn. As soon as she swallowed it, she felt relief flow through her. The sting from her burn had disappeared, and she was feeling much better because of it. She thought she was feeling weak because of low HP, but it turned out to be because of her burn.
"Okay, Jewel, back on the battlefield you go," she said, smiling at her Raichu, happy that she was feeling better. She got up, and the smile soon faded. Now it was time to think of another plan. Her eyes followed the Arcanine, watching as it moved across the battlefield at an impressive speed. It was moving too fast for Jewel to attack it, and it would be risky to go near it in case it tried to attack.
"Toke-toki-priiiii!" Diamond said cheerfully, waving her little arms in the air. At first Crystal thought she was trying to cheer her on, but she soon realized it was using Metronome when she noticed the light radiating from her.
"No attacking, Diamond," Crystal said in a soft tone, gently pushing down Diamond's arms, stopping her Metronome. Normally she wouldn't speak softly, but since Diamond was just too cute and she was only a baby, Crystal had a tendacy to talk in a sweet and soothing tone to her.
Now, back to thinking of a plan. Crystal went into deep thinking, and searched her mind for a good plan. Maybe she could just wait until the Arcanine got tired? Or maybe she could switch? No, she should send out Bloodstone once Jewel faints, if she does. Crystal focused her gaze on Jewel, hoping that she might remember something if she looked at her Raichu. But that didn't help. What was she thinking?
That was when her phone rang. Crystal, a little stunned by the sudden ring of her phone, snapped out from her thinking and reached into her bag, digging through it for her phone. She pulled it out, and put it her ear. Her ex
pression wasn't very happy. "I'm in the middle of a battle, what do you want?"
"Head to the HQ for a meeting," A voice said.
"Are you crazy? You made me change plan two times already, and now you're making go back to HQ in the middle of a battle! Shut up and just leave me alone for a while. How can you expect me to do my job if you're constantly calling me and changing the plan?"
"Fine," the voice said. "But for disobeying, you're going to be punished."
"Disobeying? It's just some stupid meeting!"
"It might be just a meeting, but you're still disobeying." Then they hung up.
Crystal closed her phone and pushed it into her bag, rolling her eyes. Great. Now she was going to be punished. She hated those people. Well, it's not like she was going to let them punish her, anyways. She could just keep hiding until they find her. Then, she looked at the girl. "Okay, back to the battle now." You could tell from Crystal's ex
pression and tone that she was in a bad mood.
Back to thinking of a plan, hopefully without interruptions this time. Okay, she definitely wasn't going to switch or just wait until the Arcanine tired out, because if the Arcanine was active, it might take quite a while. And since Arcanine was moving around quickly, she couldn't use a physical attack on it. She could Thunderbolt, though. It wasn't the best plan, actually, not even a plan, but it would do. But to make sure she hits the Arcanine, the thunderbolt should shoot it all directions. "Jewel, thunderbolt in all directions!"
Jewel gave a quick nod, and squeezed her body muscles, releasing electricity in all directions. The thunderbolt was powerful enough that it shot across most of the battlefield, so there was barely anywhere to hide from it. Jewel wanted to please Crystal, especially since Crystal wasn't in a good mood and she wanted to cheer her up, so she made sure to make it as powerful as she could.
