A Winning Blow!
As Astrid was watching Eevee prepare her next move. Astrid heard Ben trying to make a command, which sounded like a Take Down attack to her. Astrid could only lightly facepalm from the words that came out of her mouth. Really? It's Take Down. I even said it before. How clueless are you? She watched Ben closely as she questioned whenever or not he was really a trainer or not. Ben...Are you really a Pokemon Trainer? She had more questions for the guy. She realized his height was about close to a child. As she continued to question more of Ben, she only got confused. She turned her attention back to Eevee as she decides to finish it.
Astrid watched in amazement of Eevee's brilliant performance, she couldn't hold in her excitement after Eevee duked the expecting Purrloin and following up by biting its tail. Then as she swung the cat. She released it and followed up with a second Take Down. Astrid was very excited. She never realized how strong Eevee is, her tactics and her skills is what makes her a deadly opponent in the tournament. The audience seemed to be at the edge of their seats at this point. That was amazing. That was a purposely missed Take Down followed by a 180 turn to a bite and swinging the opponent around and... before she could finish, Eevee has just delivered the final blow to Purrloin and knocked it out of the ring. As the cat falls down defeated. Astrid couldn't hold in her excitement anymore.
She won the battle.
"WOOHOO!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. The announcer got up and yelled into the mic with such fierce joy in his eyes.
"WHAT AN AMAZING ENDING TO THAT BATTLE! GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR ROUND 4 WINNER, ASTRID MAPLE AND EEVEE!"
As the announcer finished, most of the audience cheered and ever some gave a loud cry for Astrid for her well fought victory. While there are some who still don't like Astrid for being lazy, they were ok with her finishing performance, though they just watched with a stern look in their eyes.
Eevee's recoil took effect after hitting Purrloin, her legs sharted to shake from the pain, but Eevee was able to fight through the pain and stand up. The young fox watched as the crowd cheered. While Eevee would normally go to Astrid and cuddle her with lots of love for the victory. This battle seemed to be affecting Eevee, just not in a good way. Eevee. Eevee moved her head to the left with a smirk in her face. A expression that could not mean a good thing for Astrid, although Astrid is too focused with the amount of people clapping for her.
Celeste noticed Eevee's strange behavior change as the fox smirked with disobedience. Astrid may not have seen this, but Celeste did. This Eevee was learning to be more disobedient to Astrid and being a wild pokemon. This is not good. Seeing this kind of behavior will lead to trouble. Celeste worried for Astrid. At this rate, she'll need to do something before she gets out of hand.
"And give a got cheer for Ben and his Purrloin for a good battle. I'm sure they've earned it." At that time, Ben was already gone, but some of the audience cheered for him for at least trying to give a good battle. The announcer was starting to get a bit worried that the tournament is starting to slowly break apart due to the recent events. He took a sip out of a water bottle and re-energized for the next batch of matches.
Astrid waved to the audience for a bit as she returned Eevee to her pokeball and headed through the resting station. She put Eevee's pokeball in the healing machine next to the twin doors and went to wash her face in the bathroom, she was feeling a bit hot in the face from the eruption from the audience, but she was so excited the blood seemed to have rushed to her head a bit. Okay Astrid, you won a round, so far so good. Just keep it up and you and Eevee can become champions. she prepped herself up for what's about to come. She was still feeling a little tired and exhausted a bit, but the adrenaline from the fight is keeping her going. After cooling down for a bit, she left the restroom and picked up Eevee's pokeball from the healing machine and headed outside.

Archie vs Kid
As Astrid walked out from the resting station, she could see that the next match was getting all set up. Archie, the big hulking man who seemed to be dressed like a pirate, was on the left side and Kid, a young southern country girl with a cowboy hat, pink blouse and blue shorts, not to mention the cowboy boots, was on the right side. Astrid got back to her seat on the bench and sat down. As the two participants stood there waiting for the announcer to get up on the ring, Astrid wondered why Archie seemed so tense? Was he nervous or was it something else.
As the announcer got up to the ring, he took out his mic and testedit to make sure it was on, after a successful check, he spoke into the mic.
"Alright you guys. Are you fully prepared to give it your all..."
"GIMME DAT!" A loud voice echoed throughout the Battle Pit as Archie took the mic out of the announcer's hand. He didn't even give the announcer a chance to defend himself from him, he just took the mic from him with a huge thrust of his arm. He put the mic close to his mouth and looked around the audience, who were not so pleased with Archie's random choice of action to steal the mic.
"Now I wanna say a few things before we get the ball rolling." Archie's rugged voice echoed throughout the speakers as he spoke. Astrid could feel the voice in his anger all the way from here. Whatever he is about to say, isn't going to be good at all.
"YOOOOOU!" He angrily yelled through the mic so loud that everyone's ears is probably ringing from the loud booming voice coming through the speakers. He also pointed towards a familiar girl in the bench. The woman with the umbrella, Celeste. Celeste had her full attention to the pirate with a deep and ear-deafening voice. "You wanna know how I feel about your whole 'Love wins all battles' campaign?" He asked Celeste. Celeste sat there watching Archie without answering him back. "I think it's bulls*&t! You think people are going to win Pokemon Battles with just love alone? Weak. You need power. Power and skills. Force your pokemon to become stronger through harsh and rigorous training. Make em strong and train them to their very core. That's how I roll!" He kept rambling on and on about this stuff. Many of of the spectators and fighters are getting very agitated with this man's beliefs it's not funny any more. But there were some who agreed to the man's beliefs and cheered him on.
Celeste could feel a small bit of emotions swelling up in her. While it does hurt, the man is being so senile over it that you think he just hated her guts at this point. After he finished rambling, Celeste smile. "Well if you believe forcing your pokemon to become stronger is better than love, then prove it by winning the tournament then." She smiled, but deep inside, she's ready to strangle the man with her pokemon, but that isn't ladylike for a woman like her. After she finished her reply, Archie moved on from that topic and into another.
"Also, I wanted to say something to the red hair girl also." Hearing that made Astrid jump from her seat. Oh no, what is he planning to say to me? She gulped as she prepared for the worst, she probably had a good guess to what he'll say to her. "While her performance as a trainer is bad, like REAAAAAL bad, we can all agree on that right?" Some of the audience seemed to be discussing things while others said yeah. This made Astrid drop her head in shame. "However! Her Eevee, is F*#&ing radical!" He yelled in excitement on the mic. he's definitely got some of that sailor's mouth on him, not to mention there are kids watching this too. But Astrid was a bit shocked when she heard that. "This Eevee was the best thing i've seen in the tournament all day, performing all the moves without the need of a command. Her Eevee has made me a bit pumped for the battle. I can't say much for the girl though, since she's pretending to be good, when in reality she's really REEEEALLLLY bad and inexperience." Astrid felt even more hurt from it. Even the audience came to a conclusion that she was bad. But she was still a newbie. However, they still thought her Eevee was an amazing pokemon that they've seen. She felt as if her Eevee was the crowd favorite in the tournament. Oh God just SHUT UP already! She was getting more angry at Archie for the words he is saying and that he's convincing the audience to go with his words. Her eyes looking very menacing and ready to punch the guy in the face.
"However, she wasn't as bad compared to that other kid she fought." For once, Archie was complimenting her even if it's small. Astrid did looked a bit shock after hearing that. But she didn't feel too positive about what Archie was going to say to Ben. "I mean, that kid was so bad I don't even think he's a Pokemon Trainer, let alone, not even old enough to be one. Am I right?" Again with his smooth talking. You'd think he'd be a smooth criminal. "I mean the kid couldn't even control his pokemon, let alone grabbing its tail when he shouldn't have. I mean COME OOOOOOOOOOON! You don't grab a Purrloin by the tail, that thing will scratch the s*&t outta ya!" He chuckled as some of the audience followed. "What a failure!" He finished with a laugh. The audience was quite shock when he said that. Especially since the kid he's making fun of has an older brother who is watching from the stand. That was probably not the best choice of words in that matter. The announcer was about ready to blow a fume if he kept this up, but luckily, he stopped.
"Anyway, I think that's it boys and girls. Nice being able to rant to each and everyone one of you. Keep it chill." With a wink to the audience, he returned the mic to the announcer and returned to the other side. The announcer was about ready to give him the boot off the tournament with those comments on the fight and on Celeste.
"You know, I could disqualify you for that, we may not have a rule on that, but this is not something that would be allowed here at all." You could feel the anger coming from his eyes. Archie didn't care much and gave a rather chill response.
"Don't worry about it man, We have free speech here in Epica, if I want to say something, i'll speak my mind okay? Besides, I needed to rant a bit to help me calm down for the fight. Anyways let's get the party started!" He yelled out with his fist in the air. The announcer was starting to get real annoyed by this guy's attitude, but decided to hold his ground and continue the tournament. He sighed before continuing on.
"...Anyways...Let's..." And again, he was interrupted, but by someone else. Kid, who seemed rather distraught at Archie's words to Celeste and the other fighters also.
"Hey bub!" Kid yelled and she pointed her finger at him. "I don't like your attitude. You think you're a big shot huh? Well let me tell you something. Celeste's meaning of love means more than that. it's caring for your pokemon and training them together in order to achieve a goal together. That's how Celeste won the first round, she deeply cares for her pokemon and helps train with them in order to help achieve their dreams together. Understanding that love will allow a pokemon to fight their hardest in battle for the trainer that they love. If you think it's something else, then you're wrong." The audience got up and started cheering for Kid for her courage to stand up to Archie and his harsh words.
"And let me tell you this, while Astrid and Ben may not be the brightest of fighters here, at least they tried their best out there, even if they weren't sure which was the right answer. Astrid tried to fight alongside Eevee despite some small issues. And...While i'm not sure about Ben, at least he was trying to do something out there too. So stop judging them like their stupid, cause I won't stand for you ripping them apart like you just don't care!" The crowd seemed even more enthusiastic than before thanks to Kid's wonderful speech defending against Astrid and Ben. Astrid smiled after hearing it and it made her more determined to do better next round. Thanks Kid. She put her hand to her heart, at least there is someone who believes she is trying her best in the tournament.
"Hehe. How cute, you're standing up for them for their poor performance. I'll show you that you're wrong." Archie gave a wide grin, a deadly slasher smile towards Kid as he decided that he was going to teach her a harsh lesson. Kid was intimidated by it, but wasn't backing down.
"Now if we're done, i'd like to get the round started please." The announcer was finally able to get something out there, he sighed after finishing it and rubbed his face with his hand. Both Archie and Kid pulled out a pokeball and threw them in the air, As both pokeball open simultaneously, the white light flew from the pokeball and fell towards the ground as they took their forms. On Archie's side. The creature appeared to be a rather purple slimy...thing with a goofy face on it.
Grimer! Griiiimer. the slimy creature moved around as it flexes its small arms to the crowd. Astrid found it weird for someone like Archie to have something like a Grimer in his possession, not like him at all. Astrid turned around to see what kind of pokemon Kid brought out. It was a orange bull with black hair surrounding its neck. It had two horns on both side of the head and had about three tails on the back.
the beast let out a mighty roar as it prepares it self for battling. TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUR! both combatants were ready to go. The grimer put on a mean face and the Tauros kicked the ground with its right leg, preparing to charge at the slimy pokemon.
"Alright then, let the fifth match of the tournament...begin!" The announcer finished his match as the battle began.
Both Archie and Kid were yelling commands after commands to try to attack the other pokemon. Astrid, with the notebook already in her hand, decided to record some notes with some of the moves used in the battle. She was determined to study Archie's strategies since he's such a hotshot when it comes to Pokemon Battle, but how much would she get.
The Tarous charged with a take down, hoping to hit Grimer, but it dodged the attack by ducking underneath Tarous, then it followed up with Mud Bomb as it hit Tauros in the face, blinding it a bit as it cannot see through the thick, hardened mud, As Tauros tried to look around, Grimer was already behind the bull as it uses Sludge Bomb. As the Sludge Bomb hits Tauros in the back, it falls down to the ground injured and crying from the pain.
"Had enough Kid?" Archie taunted as Kid looks at her blinded Tauros. Kid worried about her injured Tauros as the bull tried to get up with problems. Kid smiled. She knew Tauros wouldn't fall down that easily and believed she and her Tauros will make it out of here with a win. No matter what happened. Kid was always looking optimistic even in the darkest times.
"I ain't given up yet. Let's go Tauros!" She yelled as the battle continued, Tauros attempted to use Zen Headbutt on the Grimer, but the grimer started to glow in a pink aura before shrinking in size. As the Grimer used Minimize, Tauros couldn't find the Grimer as it shrank to an unseeable size and couldn't connect the attack. As Tauros scattered in a panic state to find the Grimer, it grew back to size prepared another Sludge Bomb and hit the Tauros while it was near the edge of the ring, Tauros turned around as it heard the Sludge Bomb coming, but couldn't react in time as the attack slammed into the bull. Tauros was sent flying off from the ring and into the ground. Leading to a knock out.
"The winner of the fifth match is Archie and his Grimer!" The announcer spoke through the speakers as Archie and Grimer win the rather easy match with a simple knockout. Some of the audience clapped and others booed at his win. Archie just laughed out loud as he took down another easy opponent.
"That's it? That's the best you can muster. Give me a break. You're bad. Enough said." Archie kept laughing as Kid looked down at her Tauros, who was looking back at Kid with a sad expression. Tauur... the bull cried as if the bull failed to help her win against the arrogant man and his Grimer and help prove her point.
"It's okay Tauros, we'll get him next time." Kid smiled to her depressed pokemon. Tauros give a soft smile and nooded its head. Kid returned Tauros to its pokeball and look back at Archie. "Well played. I'm kinda curious to see if you do make it to the finals and win." Kid smiled. Archie just waved it off as if he doesn't care. "But I can tell you this." She grinned. "Either Celeste or Astrid WILL take you down. Just you wait." After she finished her statement, she left the ring and sat down on one of the bleachers on the right side to watch the rest of the tournament. She felt a bit sad that she lost in the first round. And to someone who is just a complete and utter jerk. But she knows he'll be beaten. She had a good feeling about it.
"How cute of you Kid." Archie laughed, thinking that he'll be beaten by a women in the tournament. With a chuckle, Archie went back to the resting room the recover his Grimer, not like he really needs it, but he always wants to be at full power for the next battle. After he finished he returned to sit in his bench with a evil grin on his face.
"Alright then. The sixth match will now begin shortly. Alvin and Thomas, please step up to the ring." The announcer wanted to have him disqualified so bad for his horrible behavior, but he doesn't have the guts to do so and he didn't violate any big rules. The announcer started to walk up to the ring as he awaited both trainers to walk up to the ring and pull out their pokemon to battle. Astrid got up and cheered for Alvin. "GO GET HIM ALVIN!" She yelled as Alvin got up on the stage. As he waited, he checked the mic again to make sure it's working. Then after they got up on the stage, he said his usual thing before the start of the match.
"Alright guys, whenever you are ready to go, send out your pokemon and go when I say so."
As the announcer got up to the ring, he took out his mic and testedit to make sure it was on, after a successful check, he spoke into the mic.
"Alright you guys. Are you fully prepared to give it your all..."
"GIMME DAT!" A loud voice echoed throughout the Battle Pit as Archie took the mic out of the announcer's hand.

After she finished her statement, she left the ring and sat down on one of the bleachers on the right side to watch the rest of the tournament. She felt a bit sad that she lost in the first round. And to someone who is just a complete and utter jerk. But she knows he'll be beaten. She had a good feeling about it.
"How cute of you Kid." Archie laughed, thinking that he'll be beaten by a women in the tournament. With a chuckle, Archie went back to the resting room the recover his Grimer, not like he really needs it, but he always wants to be at full power for the next battle. After he finished he returned to sit in his bench with a evil grin on his face.
"Alright then. The sixth match will now begin shortly. Alvin and Thomas, please step up to the ring." The announcer wanted to have him disqualified so bad for his horrible behavior, but he doesn't have the guts to do so and he didn't violate any big rules. The announcer started to walk up to the ring as he awaited both trainers to walk up to the ring and pull out their pokemon to battle. Astrid got up and cheered for Alvin. "GO GET HIM ALVIN!" She yelled as Alvin got up on the stage. As he waited, he checked the mic again to make sure it's working. Then after they got up on the stage, he said his usual thing before the start of the match.
"Alright guys, whenever you are ready to go, send out your pokemon and go when I say so."
