Well, seeing as it's a mainly Pokemon based forum, I thought I'd post my own on here, so, enjoy I guess...

Chapter 1: Battle in Ashdown

In my pocket, my hand clenched around the only poke ball I had. My eyes were shut, as I was trying to shut out my surroundings and think very hard.
“Come on. Winner takes all.” said a voice on the other side of the arena. I opened my eyes. I was in the park, standing on one side of a Pokemon battle arena. We were just a little to the west of the Pokemon Centre in Ashdown Village, a small island in the middle of the Fuchsian Sea, a sort of resting place for people going from Fuchsia City to Seafoam Island and vice versa. I had only one Pokemon, and the other kid had three, so even though I’d been doing this for two years now, I didn’t want to risk it. He had already beaten two people, though those times he played for money. As soon as he found out I’d been a trainer for a couple of years, he challenged me to a battle winner takes all; meaning all Pokemon and money the opponent had. Not wanting to back out and be labelled a coward though, I removed the poke ball from my pocket, looked at it briefly, whispered a quiet good luck and tossed it into the arena a small way away from me.
The Pokemon that came out was a grass and flying type. It was a large green bird with leaf patterns on the top and bottom of its wings, and one large leaf pattern in the centre of its back. She also had a necklace round her neck, and on the necklace was a triangular green object.
“Trel!” it cried.
“Not bad, a Treeling.” The boy said, and I cursed silently, he may be new but he sure knew his stuff, this was a newly discovered Pokemon. “I reckon I can take it though!” he threw a poke ball into the centre of the field a large snail appeared. It was at least three feet tall, and it looked as though its red body was made of molten lava and its shell looked like granite.
“Mag!” it moaned. I cursed again; a Magcargo had two type advantages against me, whilst I had none against it.
“Flamethrower, let’s toast that thing!” the boy shouted. I allowed myself a chuckle. He may know a lot about Pokemon, but clearly not much about battling.
I whistled shrilly and Treeling spread her wings and soared into the sky, while the flames that erupted from Magcargo’s mouth harmlessly passed underneath, slightly singing the ground.
“Rock Slide!” the boy shouted, and with amazing speed, rocks rose from around the lava snail’s body and hurtled frighteningly towards Treeling.
“Prayer, Razor Leaf!” I shouted.
“Prayer?” the boy asked.
“Nickname.” I explained.
“Ah.” Prayer spread her wings and fired numerous amounts of leaves, which all cleaved the rocks into two halves before slicing into Magcargo, cutting his shell but bursting into flame before they touched his molten body. The rocks sailed past Prayer harmlessly. The boy looked worried for a few seconds before smirking.
“Not bad, but you ain’t gonna touch him now! Magcargo, Harden and then Amnesia!” I swore loudly. He was right; I wouldn’t be able to hurt him with those defensive moves up. “Now Fire Blast!” he shouted triumphantly. Breaking the defences was the least of my worries now though; Prayer wouldn’t last if that hit her.
“Prayer, full power! Use Shield” I called out frantically. Prayer once again spread her wings, only this time a circle of white stars appeared in front of her body. Meanwhile, Magcargo fired a large flaming star. The Fire Blast collided with the stars, and I began to sweat. Come on Prayer, you can do it… I thought to myself as the Fire Blast began to slowly push the stars back. The Fire Blast was slowly pushing the stars back, and it was only a few moments before it passed through the severely weakened Shield move.
“Prayer, use Screech!” I shouted over the roar of the flames. Prayer, concentrating on keeping the Shield intact, raised her head and screeched loudly; we all the kid and I, as well as the few spectators covered their ears while Magcargo groaned and withdrew into his shell. Then the Fire Blast burst through the Shield, but disintegrated a few millimetres in front Prayer, badly blackening the front of her chest.
“Great, we’ve got the advantage now!” I called out, “Now, finish it with Solarbeam!” The flower pattern on Prayer’s back lit up, as it began absorbing sunlight. She opened her beak and small yellow orb appeared slightly in front of it, which grew slightly every few seconds.
“Come on…” I urged silently, pretty soon Magcargo was going to come out of his shell, and that wasn’t going to be good. Seconds passed and nothing much happened.
After exactly a minute however, Prayer fired the orb which stretched out and became a beam. The attack smashed into Magcargo’s shell, denting it severely and probably damaging him badly. When the light from the bright attack died down, Magcargo’s shell was on its side, looking to be in bad shape. The kid held out a poke ball and recalled his defeated Pokemon. Almost immediately he pulled out another and threw out into the field. A human shape Pokemon at about four or five feet tall stood there. She had long blonde hair, large red lips and a long red dress. She also had a black face and black gloves.
“Jynx…” she said in a very seductive voice. She had a four times type advantage with one of her two types, and the other of her types was going to be hard to get past, and even though she had very little in the way of defences, getting close enough to physically attack was going to be difficult with her psychic ability.
“Sky Attack!” I yelled, wanting to try and take her out before she got warmed up and powerful. Prayer, hovered in the air for while, her body faintly glowing orange.
“Wait for it…” the boy said quietly to his Jynx. After a few seconds, Prayer was sparkling and completely orange. She flapped her wings and dived rapidly towards Jynx. “Now! Use Doubleslap!” the boy shouted and Jynx spun to her left slapping Prayer, before spinning back to the right and slapping her again. She fell to the ground.
“Now, use Lovely Kiss!” Jynx walked up to Prayer and kissed her, causing her to instantly asleep. A couple of seconds after Prayer had fallen asleep the object on her necklace flashed white, and as suddenly as she’d fallen asleep, she woke up.
“What?” the boy exclaimed.
“Mint Berry.” I replied smugly. “Wing Attack!” I quickly commanded, catching the boy off guard. Prayer slammed her wing into Jynx, causing the ice Pokemon to fall back.
“Psywave!” the boy ordered and without getting up a blue aurora surrounded Jynx. The blue aurora then spread in psychic energy waves slicing into Prayer, causing her to cry out. I tried to shut out the sound and think of a way to defeat Jynx. Prayer wouldn’t have enough energy to beat his third Pokemon if she tried another Sky Attack or Solarbeam, so they were out of the question, Wing Attack was doing all right, but it wasn’t going to be enough on its own, and even though Razor Leaf was a long range attack, Jynx would easily be able to defend herself against it. Then an idea struck me. It was risky, but worth a shot…
“Get back into the air!” I yelled as loudly as I could. Prayer lifted her head from where she was lying on the ground, and the noise distracted Jynx, so the psychic waves disappeared into the air.
Prayer screech loudly, which gave me another idea that could be added to the plan I already had in mind. She spread her wings and soared into the air.
“Prayer, Screech and Wing Attack!” I commanded. Prayer wheeled round in midair and screeched again, loudly this time, and everyone – including Jynx – covered their ears. Continuing screeching, Prayer dived and unfurled her wings, heading towards Jynx. A look of horror crossed Jynx’s face, but she was powerless to do anything, as Prayer’s right wing slammed into her body. Jynx was sent tumbling backwards, and Prayer stopped screeching.
“Now, before she can get up, Whirlwind! Suspend her in the air!” I called out. Prayer flapped her wings rapidly and a strong wind picked up, lifting Jynx off the ground and into the air, where she floated being savagely battered by fierce winds.
“Finish it with Razor Leaf!” I said calmly, knowing that Jynx was now out. Prayer stopped flapped, and the winds instantly stopped, and Jynx fell from the sky shrieking all the way. She slammed into the ground, and began to force her way into a standing position. Prayer cawed loudly and fired four leaves at the heavily damaged Jynx. They cut into her body, and she collapsed to the floor, fainted. The boy silently recalled his second fainted Pokemon, and threw his third and final poke ball onto the field. I crossed my fingers, hoping for something not to difficult, as Prayer was now panting in exhaustion.
The poke ball exploded in a flash of light and a three foot high orange mushroom with six legs, two claws and head appeared.
“Para!” cried the Parasect, snapping its claws.
“Spore!” the boy shouted instantly. Parasect snapped its claws again and made a faint noise, before it began shaking violently and yellow sleep spores spread across the battlefield.
“Whirlwind!” I commanded again. Prayer, lifted her head, and with a flap of her wings took of into the air. She then began rapidly flapping her wings again, and once again winds picked, up, only this time it sent the sleep spores back towards Parasect.
“S**t.” the boy cursed as his Parasect breathed in the sleep spores and instantly began snoozing. He recalled his Pokemon, and a few seconds later, Prayer fell from the skies landing in a heap on the floor.
“Nice work,” I said recalling her to her poke ball. “Good battle. But I don’t want your Pokemon or your money thanks.” And with that I turned and walked off in the direction of the Pokemon Centre.
