Z called Fraxure back to him so they could start the battle. Z's starter quickly ran over. "We're going to have a practice battle," said Z, "you're facing off against that Staryu." Fraxure nodded to say that he was ready and got into position. "The mock battle between Gym Leader Z and Lady Eira will begin," said the referee, "this is a one on one pokemon battle, no time limit and no substitutions. No items shall be used. Are both trainers ready?"
"We are ready!" Eira called, actually getting a bit excited for the battle and her Staryu's potential. She looked down at Shimmer and nodded, showing that she had all of the confidence in the world in what it could do in this battle. "Let's give them a good show today, alright Shimmer? I know this is out first battle together, but I think you and I can work really well together and beat Z and his Fraxure."
"Let the battle, BEGIN!" said the announcer. "Fraxure, said Z, "quickly attack with poison jab and try to get in as close as you can to it. Don't give it a chance to think." Fraxure nodded and rushed at the star pokemon. It's claws glowed with a purple energy and it jabbed repeatedly with both his claws to try and land a hit on the Star pokemon's body. Z watched closely as fraxure fought, trying to gauge the abilities of this shiny pokemon.
"Rapid Spin!" Eira called to Shimmer, seeing the rapidly approaching dragon and hoping that Staryu were faster. As it turned out, Shimmer was quite fast as it bounced into the air from spinning so quickly. Eira thought back to her fight against Shimmer in attempt to remember what moves it had since she had never used Shimmer before. "Try your Bubblebeam!"
Shimmer began to spray bubbles all over the field as it continued to spin while using it's move.
Fraxure shielded his face with his arms to block the bubbles. Fraxure's dragon type allowed him to stand firm against the attack due to water type attacks not doing much to dragons. Z thought quickly, "Fraxure, use Rock Slide!" the dragon pokemon jumped up and caused rings to appear over the field. Rock began to emerge from the rings and rain down over the field, some of them falling towards Shimmer aiming to strike the staryu.
Eira was surprised by just how fast Shimmer seemed to be as it flew threw the rocks, landing safely near Fraxure on one of its points. How in the world was a Pokemon naturally this fast? It was then that Eira realized that Shimmer had gone easy on her when she was trying to capture it. "Shimmer, try another Bubblebeam!"
Shimmer straightened onto two of its points before shooting a high speed jet of bubbles towards Fraxure out of its top point.
"Fraxure, look out!" said Z. The dragon pokemon wasn't able to dodge this attack and was knocked back a bit from the force of it. "Alright," said Z , "Hit it with a Dragon claw followed up with a Poison jab. Fraxure nodded and charged up one claw with blue energy and another with purple energy, "Fraxure!" he yelled as he delivered the Dragon claw to Shimmer's body *El Directo!* Z facepalmed, "that's the last time I let you watch Bleach on the television.
Shimmer took the hit, feeling the energy jolting through its body upon impact.
"Thunderbolt!" Eira called to Shimmer, seeing the close quarters the two Pokemon were at and thinking that it would create a sure fire hit on the little dragon. An electrical current formed around Shimmer, growing in strength before transferring over to Fraxure by using his Dragon Claw as a medium.
Fraxure roared in pain as the electricity coursed through his body. Luckily dragons were resistant to electric type attacks and thus, he was able to slam his other hand with the poison jab powered up in it into the blue gem in the center of Shimmer's body. "FRAXURE!" *Just who the hell do you think I am?!* Z sighed, "no more gurren lagann either. You're using too many anime references with your attacks. Though it is cool." Z admitted.
Shimmer seemed to take the taunt to heart and didn't wait for Eira's next command before making a move. A blueish purple aura surrounded Fraxure as Shimmer began to use its Psychic abilities on him, lifting him high into the air without an issue. Eira fell back in surprise at Shimmer's attack, having not known that her Pokemon could use Psychic. Fraxure was lifted higher and higher until it was at a dangerous height, making it unwise for Fraxure to break free if it didn't want to receive serious injury.
Z frowned then thought of a plan, "Fraxure, fire off a Draco Meteor at the starfish. Then use Rock slide to descend safely." Fraxure charged up a sphere of energy in his maw. He fired it into the air, causing a rain of energy bolts to hit Shimmer, causing the Staryu to lose concentration. Before Fraxure could fall the long way to the ground, he caused rings of energy to appear in the air and drop rocks onto the field. Fraxure hopped from rock to rock until it landed on the ground.
Shimmer used Rapid Spin to dodge around the rocks and land safely at the edge of the field, deciding to battle on its own since its trainer seemed to be out of commission for now. It waited patiently for the rocks to finish falling so it could find where Fraxure was going to land, waiting for a good opportunity to strike again. Eira on the other hand was shaking like a leaf as she stared wide eyed at her second Pokemon, wondering how she had never noticed that it had Psychic.
"Fraxure, Go, poison jab!" yelled Z, causing Fraxure to spring off a rock, sending the little pokemon flying at Shimmer with it's claw outstretched and glowing purple. The dragon pokemon aimed at the gem in the center of its body with the intent to strike and poison the Staryu, using his momentum and impact to do more damage. Fraxure was a bit pissed at being caught in a psychic attack like it had been in the Lapras Lounge Contest.
Shimmer spun out of the way of Fraxure's attack, aiming a Bubblebeam at the dragon's back. Shimmer was sure at this point that its trainer was no longer a part of this battle, so it did not wait for her command and took over once more. It was not liking this little Fraxure, especially since the cocky little thing made it use Psychic when it knew very well that Eira did not like Psychic types. Fracure made it harm its human and no one made Shimmer harm its things.
The bubblebeam struck Fraxure and sent it tumbling to the ground. The dragon pokmon got back on it's feet and glared at the shiny staryu. "Fraxure," said Z try a Draco Meteor and Rock slide combo attack." The dragon pokemon launched another draco meteor into the air before jumping up and causing more rocks to fall onto the field, with the rain of energy from the draco meteor limiting the area that the staryu had to dodge the attack.
