EPISODE 47: Training to the Fullest!*

I tilted my head behind and me and my Pokemon couldn't believe what we had seen. He gave me a passionate glare, a glare that signifies with willingness, and so I gave him one in return.

"I see, you're training? Up for a battle?" Logan queried, still wearing that determined smirk of his and that passionate glare as if he has a thirst for battling.

"L-Logan? So, you're here as well? I never expected that but if you want a battle, then fine by me." I gave him the same smirk and glare as I sent back my Pokemon except for Mismagius.

"Well, I figured to go training as well, that was when I heard your voice. So, Torterra and I figured it would be best to battle you. I never experienced a complete one against you."

"Then you'll experience it now! Mismagius, go for Shadow Ball!" the battle has begun on my command.

<Mis!>Mismagius launched a direct hit on Torterra but after all that, barely a scratch was seen.

"Like it? Torterra's defense is where it's at its best, just like your Shelgon there. Torterra, Frenzy Plant!" Logan proceeded as his Pokemon gave a stomp to the ground. Because of the stomp, roots emerged and tangled my Mismagius for about three seconds. It dealt quite the damage compared to our previous move.

"Mystical Fire!" this perhaps will do just the right thing because of the type disadvantage of Torterra... and I was right. Finally, a scratched formed in the upper forehead, making things even by a bit after Logan's attack on my Pokemon.

"Giga Drain!" Torterra stole some of my Pokemon's energy and transferring it to its own body. This made Mystical Fire a useless and unworthy attack, adding pressure to what I've known so far.

"You're sweating, I can see you're having a hard time to think about what to do next." Logan teased.

"Oh come on, the battle barely begun." with a smug on my face I uttered and at the same time commanded Mismagius to go with Shadow Sneak. Her silhouette went behind the foe and attacked it from there.

"Show what you can do, Wood Hammer!"

<Tor!> It bellowed as it launched an artificial hammer made out of its branches at Mismagius. When it comes to attack damage, Logan is leading.

"What else? Um, Thunderbolt go!"

<Mis! Mis!>Mismagius sent out the attack but both of us noticed it was much powerful than a normal Thunderbolt attack. It has these red orbs floating around a beam of electricity that went straight to the foe. I searched it up on the Pokedex and I couldn't be happier after knowing Mismagius has learned Charge Beam through Thunderbolt.

Charge Beam, though it was not very effective, it at least made the foe exhausted. I can see Torterra breathing heavily which gives me an upper hand.

"Torterra, proceed with Giga Drain!" there goes our foe again, stealing energy from my Mismagius and healing its scars dealt by the previous attacks.

"Continue! Go use Wood Hammer again!"

<Tor!>Torterra made a louder bellow which shook the whole cave but not enough to cause some serious damage. Wood Hammer dealt the same attack as before and made Mismagius exhausted. This battle would take longer than expected.

"Haven't given up yet?" Logan teased again.

"Of course not, I'm not going to surrender. Mismagius, let's show them what we got, use Charge Beam!"

"Accept the attack, now proceed with Wood Hammer once more!"

"Mystical Fire, burn the wood!"

<Mis!>with the hammer incoming, Mismagius was in time to burn the hammer into twigs.

"Whoa, you've really improved since the last time we've met. Alright then, Bulldoze let's go!"

"Thanks, but your compliment won't make me go easy on you!"

"I'm fine with that." he smiled.

"Alright Mismagius, Shadow Ball and aim for the ceilings"

<Mismagius!>because of her attack, a stalactite fell and landed on the rolling Torterra. The attack was unable to be executed but rather canceled.

"That came out of nowhere." Logan scratched the back of his hair.

"Mismagius, go use Shadow Sneak again!"

After the attack, Logan went with Giga Drain for the countless time in a row. Now it's starting to get annoying every time the damage I deal with my Pokemon is all getting healed up. Well, that's his tactic and I can't just force him to change it.

We put the battle to a halt when we heard something rumbling from afar. It was getting closer and closer and there it struck beneath us. No, I can't say it was an Earthquake for we should've felt it beneath us right from the start but this was different, as if a bomb was detonated nearby.

The whole cave rumbled and a stalactite above me went straight for my head. I saw it coming but my body was resisting moving, that was when I felt a push from the front as my body lied to the ground. The rumbling stopped and continued to the deeper parts of the wave. In short, it was a pulse that came across our path which is continuing to move even up to this point.

"Are you alright?" Logan asked, he was so close to me I felt uncomfortable.

"Thanks," I still smiled though even if I was uncomfortable and my cheeks glowed in a slight pink pigment as Logan helped me stand from the ground.

We heard police officers everywhere from outside the cave, there were helicopter noises and people gossiping back in the city. We wondered what could've happened outside in such a time like this? That pulse, it's man-made no doubt, a bomb was detonated nearby, I'm sure of it.

"So, are we going to check what's outside or are we going to continue our battle?" he asked sarcastically.

"I think-" I took a deep breath, " I think we should see what on Earth is happening outside."

"I can agree with that plan of yours. Looks like another mayhem of destruction to me has recently erupted. Who could've done this?"

"An organization, not from ours, we don't make bombs unless our prodigies did. If not Team Rocket then for sure, Team Galactic." I gave a hunch.

"Those nitwits never stopped, I came across them in the factory outside Floaroma Town. Their leader Cyrus is nasty."
