"Alright everyone! Let's get down to training!" I throw all five pokeballs in the air. Togetic, Kirlia, Glaceon, Roserade, and Snivy escape from the red and white spheres. "Snivy!" "Toge! Etic!" "Glace! Glace!" "Rose! Roserade!" "Kir!" Raichu runs into the group of Pokemon. "Rai! Rai!" I put my hands on my hips with an upbeat expression on my face. "You guys are the best Pokemon I've ever had!" My party run towards me for a big group hug. We let go of the squeeze. "Today, we're going to train with each other. I point at Kirlia. "Kirlia, you'll be battling with Rosalie's Empoleon." She nods. "Kir! Kirlia!" Kirlia bows.

"Ready?!" Rosalie calls. Her silky brown waist-lengh hair is put in a ponytail. "I wish Volkner was here!" she yells to me. "It's okay. He's taking care of the gym right now." I say. "Go Empoleon!" Rosalie flings the pokeball into the air. It opens and lets Empleon make an appearance. I grab my pokedex from my pink bag. Empoleon. The Emperor Pokemon. In the evolved for of Prinplup. If anyone were to hurt its pride, it would slash them with wings that can cleave through an ice floe. "Kirlia. Go on." Kirlia walks into the battlefield. "Kir!" The Nurse Joy from the Pokemon Center that we are at comes outside. "Are you two about to have your battle?" "Yes!" We respond. "Alright-y then! Jill, a word?" "Course!" Jill and Joy enter into the Pokemon Center. Tobias and Trip are sitting down at an empty bench to the side while Rosalie and I are at our ends of the field. "Empoleon use Whirlpool!" "Empol!" Empoleon raises both of his arms and he makes a tornado-like vortex of water. He lets go of it and it spins towards Kirlia. "Use Psychic!" I command her with a thrust in my arms. Kirlia's eyes turn bright red and an invisible force of power hits the whirlpool and makes it disappear. But leaves droplets of water fall in the air like rain. "Pol!" "Now use Drill Peck!" Empoleon spins quickly with it's beak as sharp as a hatchet. Successful, he hits Kirlia. She falls to the ground, feeling aching pain. "Kir..." she mumbles. "C'mon Kirlia! This is just a battle to make you get stronger! Use Double Team!" Kirlia makes copies of herself and 'they' form in a circle. Empoleon kneels in confusion, he looks like he's getting a migrain. "Focus on the one in the middle and use Hydro Pump!" Rosalie shouts. Water forms in his mouth and heads straight for the middle Kirlia. My real Kirlia. "Kir!" Her eyes widen. All the other Kirlia come back into one and she can't escape the attack. She stays on the ground, refusing to get up again. "No! Kirlia! You can't faint! I want you to get stronger! I know you want to get stronger as well! Please don't give up!" I yell. Kirlia gets up again with a grunt. "Kirl." Once she's up on her feet again, Kirlia starts glowing. "Huh?!" I have a frightened expression on my face. Believe me, I have no idea what's going on! "Aurora, Kirlia's evolving!" Rosalie informs me. I look at the boys. They have no expression on they're face but shock. Kirlia suddenly grows taller and looks like she's matured. After the evolution, I stare at my newly evolved... Gardevoir. The Embrace Pokemon. In the evolved form of Kirlia. It will try to guard its trusted Trainer with its life. It has the ability to see the future. "Oh, Kirlia!" I start. I speed towards her. She's taller than me! "I can't belive you've evolved!" I hug her. "Gardevoir. Gard." she says in a French-like accent. "I'm so proud of you. I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Rosalie smiles. "Does this mean no more battle?" "Sure. We can battle later. Come hug Gardevoir!"
