Chapter 38 End Of Round 2

After the charmander went back into the pokeball I shook my head and thought 'He could help after we get out of here. Especially since he seems very naive.' Soon after 2 more participants were called to the arena.

"Era Black versus Giles Winchester." 02 announced. Immediately after a pale girl with striking blue eyes and bright red hair appeared, along with a tall well built boy with brown hair and eyes.

Weirdly though as soon as they appeared he bowed as he said "I wish you luck!" He had done this in the previous fight as well but no one had taken notice at the time. "Ehh okay." Era replied with as she got ready to fight.

A couple seconds later she dashed at him while he just stood there like a brick wall. "HAAAAA!" She screamed as she arrived next to him and punched him in the stomach. "UAGHHH!" He spat out as he was sent flying hitting the invisible barrier.

"If you're so weak why did you take the hit?" Era asked confusedly. "Because, its not nice to hit a girl." Giles replied with as he looked at her like an idiot. "PAH!" Immediately I slapped myself on the forehead. 'What an idiot. He's gonna get killed one day.' I thought while shaking my head.

Hearing this Era was also pissed as she dashed at him and continually kicked him. "OWWW!" "GOSH THAT HURTS!" "DAMN IT THAT'S ENOUGH!" He finally screamed. "Although I dont think it's nice to hit girls it doesn't mean my brother in arms cant! Go LITTEN!" He shouted out.

"LII! LII!" litten called out as it appeared. "What a cute kitty!" The girls in the crowd said along with some boys. Even Era had a conflicted expression on her face till it blasted a fireball towards her. Immediately she dashed backwards as she punched the fireball extinguishing it.

"HEHEHEHE! Never underestimate your opponent." Giles said as he rushed at Era. As she was falling back due to inertia he appeared in front of her with a shield in hand and litten in the other. "Litten use our combo move!" He said as the cat jumped out of his hand and onto the shield.

Giles pulled back as litten pressed onto the shield. "BOOM!" But with one strong thrust he launched it towards Era. "Damnit!" She sneered as she began to use hand signs. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough." She muttered as she blew out a gust of wind reducing litten's speed.

"NYAAA!" litten cried out as it shot out an ember. "ZZZ! ZZZ! ZZZ!" The ember grew in size as the wind blew towards it. Soon it had grown to the size of a human body. Era wasn't out of tricks yet though.

She began to sign again and a surge of water flew out of her mouth as she finished. The ember and the current of water clashed head on.

"PSHHH!" The water evaporated as the ember extinguished. Soon they cancelled each other out though but Litten and Giles had arrived behind Era at this point. "Now for the finisher!" Giles said triumphantly as he pointed at Era.

As he said this he threw the shield in front of litten as it shot an ember out at it. Immediately after litten bit onto the handle and charged at Era. "HMPH! I've fooled around enough! Now taste my ultimate attack, RASENGAN!" She said as an orb of constantly rotating energy appeared within her palm.

"NYAAAA!" "HAAAA" They screamed as they charged at each other. "BOOM!" The attacks collided and they were both thrown back 10s of meters. The shield was blasted out of litten's mouth and it fainted while Era barely stood up with blood in her mouth.

"I haven't lost yet." She said as she staggered towards Giles. He didn't do anything though as he shook his head. "I as I said before will not hit a girl, so I being honourable shall forfeit!" Giles said and in a flash of light they were both sent off the arena.

Era was being healed while the others in Giles' year just called him an idiot. 'I guess he isn't a total idiot, he's just honourable or prideful in a sense.' I thought as the other went up. Soon the 2nd round was completed as 02 announced "Onto the Quarter Finals now!"
