Charlie winced and covered her ears as soon as the Miltank's rumbling cry echoed through the walls, and bounced around, apparently enhanced by the structure of the building. But Charlie had to stop worrying about herself, and looked over to Skittle, who's enhanced hearing of being a bug seemed to be being used to hurt her rather than help her. Charlie bit her lip and began to yell. "Skittle, ignore it and go in for another bubble attack. Quick!"
The high-pitched scream rendered the speedy bug to her knees, her body twittering as the frequency forced her down. Luckily, Charlie voice could be heard over the echo, and the bug slowly rose, slightly slowed by the experience but still traveling rather fast. Charging in on the Miltank again, Skittle decided to do a little showing off, and jumped over the Miltank, and spat at bubbles from an aerial angle. Little did she know she was leaving her bottom half wide open for attack.

The Miltank's eyes followed the Surskit's form as it skated about, jumping and attacking. She let out a few soft yelps as the bubbles popped on her skin again.
She snorted, glaring at the speedy Bug Type as she watched it, awating instructions from Rin.
"Mel, Tackle!" Rin yelled. The Miltank speedily replied, launcing itself at it's opponent, aiming to hit underneath it.

Skittle immediately felt the intense pressure of Miltank's horns push up into her stomach. Skittle was easily knocked over to the ground where she came to a skidding halt.
Charlie bit her lip as she watched her pokemon be knocked around and thrust into the ground. "Come on Skittle. Get up! You can do this!" Charlie yelled out, a strange feeling of worry and panic running through her blood. Was this what pure fear felt like? It sucked.
Skittle, hearing her trainer's words of encouragement, slowly arose, steadily, and shakily. Strangely enough, a new fire was lit in Skittle's bright oval eyes.
"Great job Skittle! Lesson learned. No taking more unnecessary risks!" Charlie called out as the fear rushed out of her body, and her face in took it's usual tanned pigment. "right. Use bubble again, but this time, when you get too close, skate under Miltank's legs!"
Skittle nodded in understanding and shot off towards Miltank, and began firing bubbles with a new speed and rhythm of sheer determination. She would make Charlie proud.

The Miltank was getting VERY tired of being assaulted by the wet bubbles that made her skin cringe. But, she was having a hard time dodging the fast little Surskit. Her speed was nowhere near the Bug-type's.
Still, she heard Charlie's command and tried to take her attention off of the painfull bubbles, adn focussed it instead on the rapidly skating Surskit, who was getting closer and closer to her.
"Hurry! Tackle it when it get's under you!" Rin yelled, speaking so quickly that her words were barely desipherable. But, the Miltank had been planning on doing that anyway so she was ready.
As Skittle skated between her legs, she dropped. Mel put her whole body weight plus as much force she could get from the push off into the Tackle. She just hoped that she had moved quickly enough to hit the small quick Pokemon.

That insane look crossed Charlie's face once again. "Haha! Go Skittle, now use bubble all you've got!" Charlie reckoned that it was a win-win strategy. Either Miltank would let Skittle skate right beneath her, or fall into Charlie's trap, and try and squish Skittle. But she forgot that she was exposing herself to a powerful and close-range bubble attack that would turn out well.
It hurt a lot to have a cow-pokemon throw all their weight on you and sit down, but Skittle knew that Charlie had something up her sleeve, and if a tackle attack was the price for a lot of damage on the Miltank than so be it. Feeling the pressure Skittle let out a small squeak. But even under all the weight of Miltank she could still muster up enough air to use her bubble attack that hopefully would do some great damage.

The bubble provided a sort of cushion between the two Pokemon, causing the Miltank to rise into the air and her weight to come off of the Surskit. She tried frantically to get off before the Bubble popped, but she couldn't. With the continued onslaught of bubbles, the cushioning Bubble grew, grew until it couldn't grow any more. It blasted the MNiltank witha force that sent her flying into the air and landing many feet away.
Mel hit the ground hard, her legs shaking weakly as she rose to her feet. It was a double-critical hit! She felt sores all along her underbelly, and knew that the attack had taken its toll. She wouldn't be able to withstand much more of those bubbles.
Rin winced in fear as she watched her Pokemon go flying through the air, but sigher with relief when the cow Pokemon got to her feet. "Alright then, us another Tackle!" she commanded, concern in her voice.
The Miltank obeyed again, and ran at the Surskit in an attempt at a Tackle. She hated getting close to the Pokemon, but she didn't really have that much of a choice if she hoped to do any damage.

The adolescent let out a squeal of excitement that ger plan had worked! Maybe only having one move wasn't so bad. But, once Skittle had a few more attacks, Charlie could throw in some combination that would give other trainers a run for their money. "Great job Skittle! Keep it up!" Charlie called out supportively, a pearly white smile lighting up the room.
Skittle quickly skated away from the where she had been smashed. She felt the true power that Miltank had attacked her with, and it was starting to ache. Catching her breath, Skittle looked up just in time to catch the Miltank charing in at her.
"Skittle! Move your butt! Use bubble to knock her back if it hurts to move." Charlie cried out, hopeful that Skittle would somehow escape the attack, and defeat Mel.
Skittle felt her legs weakening, and knew she wouldn't be able to escape the entirety of the tackle attack, so she stayed put, shaped her mouth into an 'O', took in a deep breath, and blew out as many bubble as she possible could. Hoping that Mel would back off long enough for her to catch her breath and move out of the way.

Mel saw the bubbles ahead of her, but thought that if she could only get through to the little Surskit and finish her attack that the battle would be over. At first it appeared that her thinking was correct. She ran forward, pushing away the bubbles and not even feeling the pain in her determination.
However, before she reached Skittle the attack did its job, even if she hadn't felt anything. She tripped up over her feet, which were now numb and sore, and landed off to the side of the Water-type. She tried to make her fet go back under her, but just couldn't. She fell to the ground, unconcious.
Rin quickly ran over to her fallen friend and recalled the Miltank to her Pokeball. "You did a great job Mel," she said softly as she replaced the ball on her belt. Standing up, she turned to Charlie with a laugh. "That was a magnificent battle, and I must say that your Surskit really impressed me," she said. "If I were still a gym leader, you wold've gotten a badge just now."
In the stands, after a couple of seconds of silence, cheers rose from the people seated there. It appeared that more people had showed up t watch the battle, and none of them were disappointed.
"Well, anyway, I still have quite a bit of money from leading the gym, so here's some in congratulations of your win!" she said with a broad smile, handing some Poke to Charlie.
You recieve $300!
Skittle gains two levels! She also learns Quick Attack!

Watching the Miltank perservere through the bubbles in horror, Charlie silently chanted,'Move Skittle. Move Sweetie. Just move!' But in vain! As Mel collapsed beside Skittle, Charle released a quick sigh of relief. It took a second to compute, but she realized she had just won the battle. An enormas grin overthrew her face, and Charlie jumped up into the air with a propelled spring, and shot a readied fist into the air as she was surrounded by the crowd's pleased calls of entertainment. "Yes!"
Skittle too was excited and relieved, the whoops and hollers of achievement and support echoed through the halls, and this time, they didn't send her spiraling to her knees. But Skittle tried to skate around to show-off, but was greeted with an intense igniting of pain shoot up her legs. Falling to the ground, Skittle let out a soft. "Owch.." But she had fell unconscious with a smile bright on her face.
Charlie looked over to Skittle, and with a small chuckle, took out her pokeball, and sucked her into it's contents. Smiling down at the pokeball, Charlie kissed it. "You did great Skittle. Rest up kid." Slipping her onto the latch in her belt, Charlie's attention was shifted upwards to face Rin. Basking in the compliment from the veteran gym leader, Charlie graciously took the money and smiled at her with the ends of her eyes creased. "Thanks so much for the battle Rin. You trained your Miltank really well. And when I come back, I hope Skittle and Mel can have a rematch." Charlie quipped pleasantly. "But I wanted to ask you.. Can you stir up a batch of something that'll heal Skittle? Cuz' I don't really have enough time to take her back to the pokemon center. And I really need to get on my way to route one."

Rin knodded, holding up one of her fingers and motioning for Charlie to follow her. She walked back into the main room, or the living room, of her little ice cream shop home. She went behig her counter and withdrew from a drawer a very odd looking star-like thing. It was yellow and had many points on it.
"Here, it is a Max Revive. It will heal your Surskit back to perfect health! Pokemon really like them too, because they are sweet. Quite the opposite of herbs, and less expensive as well," she laughed, handing the object to Charlie.
All of the people were coming out of the stadium, laughing and talking in excited voices about the battle they had just witnessed. The last person out, and elderly man, closed the door behind him. Some of the people left, offering a cheery wave to Rin and Charlie, and others went back to sitting down and watching the TV, a couple cleaning up now-melted ice cream cones.
You recieved a max revive!

Wandering after Rin, Charlie graciously accepted the kind gift. "Thanks a ton ma'am. I hope to come back here again, and play you all out. That means you use your strongest pokemon. Kay'?" ending with a small laugh, Charlie extended a hand. "so, until next time." Charlie finalized with a broad grin, as she motioned for a handshake.
Cairo poked his head out from the depths of Charlie's bag. "And tell Mel that I think she's pretty." Cairo peeped, and with a quick blush, vanished back into Charlie's bag.

Rin accepted the shake with a broad grin, and a laugh of her own. "Very well, you have a deal there. I'll look forward to it!" she said happily. She laughed again as Cairo popped from the bag. "Sure thing, I'll tell her. She'll be pleased!".
"Well, good luck as you head off to Route One! You should see the entrance as soon as you exit the door. That is, if it is clear outside," Rin added, trying to be helpfull. "And you are always welcome back, whether for another battle or just for some more Ice Cream!"
