The Ice Field would be tough, though… "Hey Mike, that attendant just said he was fighting against a guy named Mike. Did she mean you?" Lewis asked. "Nah. I haven't even battled on the water field yet. Let's go watch this guy's battle." Mike replies. > The next day… > > "Dun! Dun dun dun! Dun dun dun!

Reis's fist slammed into the rock, shattering it. "Now, Lick it!" > "Oh… nooo…" groaned Sirius. "That reminds me so much of my Lickitung against Doduo yesterday on the grass field."

"But you won't be able to beat… this one! Jynx2, go!" > "Jyyynx! Jyyynx!" > "Gah!" blurted Sirius. > "DRAA!" whined Reis. > "Ugh…" groaned the crowd. "Woah. That was unexpected." Bridget said.
