Julia winced mentally, Glacier was out of commission and she had to send someone out fast.

That was two down, one more and Gads would have the win. She had Persephone but she didn't think her oddish would be enough for whatever the opponent had next. But no matter what, Julia at least had to try to win the match. > Gads mentally sighed for a moment. Then, he looked over at his > opponent. Still no reaction.

The white and red ball flew onto the field as its prying jaws opened in a red flash of light. Persephone appeared from the red light as she wiggled her leaves. The small oddish soon made eye contact with the Jigglypuff and a staring contest soon commenced. "Persephone enough with the games! Absorb that Jigglypuff now!" commanded Julia hoping her oddish would be successful in its attack. "Sketch look out!" replied Gads but it was too late as a volley of glowing orbs soon raced across the filed and struck the Jigglypuff multiple times. Sketch cried out in pain as a final orb connected. Persephone jumped up and down happy that it attack worked well, however Sketch soon got to her feet. "Sketch double slap it!" yelled out Gads as the Jigglypuff got ready. "Persephone, dodge and solar beam it!" The pink puff soon came running down the field as it madly moved its small fists side to side in an attempt to connect with the oddish. The oddish, however, was too fast as it jumped out of its way again and again. Sketch finally stopped her assault as she was out of breath. Persephone seeing her chance began to absorb the moonlight. The huntress moon gleamed bright as its rays fell down on the stadium. The crowd cheered for Sketch to hurry up and get her strength back. 'We'll see if they still cheer for Sketch after it feels full force of Persephone's solar beam. The sun may not be out but the moon is good enough, especially when it's as bright as it is now', though Julia to herself. It was sadistic but she had to do everything in her power to win the match. Gads nervously looked at Julia as she wondered what she and her oddish had planned. His palms were sweaty from the excitement and his heart raced as he waited for Sketch to catch her breath. "That's it! Persephone, solar beam the Jigglypuff at full power!" commanded Julia sternly as Persephone began to glow lightly. There was silence as everything stayed still, then suddenly a rumble is heard as it would if a train was near. A bright flash soon reveals huge solar beam making its way to Sketch, ever so slowly. "Sketch!!! Deflect it with your double edge attack!" screamed Gads frantically. The solar beam continued its journey to Sketch, leaving a trial of rubble behind. The Jigglypuff closed its eyes as it concentrated its power into forming a small dagger like form. The dagger glowed brightly as the solar beam neared. Silence overcame the arena as Sketch brought down her weapon. Julia gasped as a giant explosion was heard. The solar beam flew straight up as Sketch was thrown against the wall. Her doubled edge proved to bestrong enough to deflect it. Persephone sighed as it collapsed, fainting from exhaustion. "Persephone is unable to fight! The winner is red trainer, Gads Trisan!" said the referee as the crowd went wild. "No...." Julia sighed aas she recalled her oddish. Gads hopped up and down triumphantly as he celebrated with his companion which appeared to be a mankey. Julia looked at Gads, he had proved himself to be a good trainer and with that Julia left the Stadium and made her way to the Pokemon Center. (Sorry if its eh, I don't write battles that well) Zephyr
