h a r l o wSweet!
I've been downright dying for a battle, it's been like an itch in my throat ever since I passed through Route 3. Was never much of a battler, considered myself more of a...explorer, but sometimes you just have a hankering for something, y'know?
When the eyes of two trainer's meet, you're locked into a steel-like binding contract to fight. To the death! No, I'm only joking, though sometimes it does feel like that. It's like being stuffed into a pressure cooker, the air around you becoming thick and heavy and compressing into your skin. But in an electric and terribly exciting way, the type where your heart beats so fast you can't keep up with it and it feels like it's about to burst out of your chest.
And this was one of those moments!
She was a lot younger (and shorter), but there was a spark in her dark eyes. It was quite intimidating, actually, despite the wide difference in stature. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on her - even children are fair game.
It's a strict two-on-two, no switching, no items, and the one who has no Pokemon remaining is the loser. And it's not going to be me! Though I wouldn't be too upset if I did, battling was never my strong suit, but Mom always said I needed to be more confident in my abilities as a trainer. I opened my heart up and let it soak up those words, so I'm gonna live by them!
I find the first of my Pokeballs in my travel pack, thumbing the center button on the capsule and letting it expand in my hand. I'm ready. My eyes lock with the girl across the forest clearing, I don't even know her name but there's still static in the air. You could cut the zeal with a knife - we both want this, to come out as the victor in this, even if it's just a minor battle. I wind my arm back, as far as I can get it, and let the force fly forward, the ball soaring from my hand.
