Letting Loose

"Flygon use bug buzz! Togekiss, aura sphere!"

Both pokemon fired their moves in quick succession, aiming at their targets. The barrage of attacks all connected, a cloud of dust covering the opposing two pokemon from our sights.

This battle had been raging on for some time. It was taking all six of my pokemon to keep these primal beasts at bay and even then we were still at a disadvantage. Neither Kyogre or Groudon seemed worn down by anything that we were doing, their primal forms giving them newfound power that far surpassed what I had dealt with years ago.

A huge torrent of water pierced through the dust cloud, destined for both Flygon and Togekiss. At the last second they were able to evade the attack, the water move crashing into the already unstable cave walls. A crater was formed in the side of the chamber where Kyogre's attack made contact.

Groudon stepped forward, melting the rocks beneath its feet just by standing there. Floating on a pool of lava, the continent pokemon let out a terrible roar, letting out a burst of scorching heat.

Each flying pokemon ascended into the air, avoiding the devastating fire move. Milotic submerged herself under the water at her own risk of running into Kyogre. Jirachi was still by my side, the wish pokemon also moving to evade the attack.

Blaziken stood steadfast on a pile of rubble. Her stance didn't change as Groudon's overheat attack closed in on where she was stood.

At the last second, the fire type reeled back, letting out a blazing wave of flames to counter the fire move. Both moves collided with each other, the excess flames washing past Blaziken as she stood unfazed as the smoke cleared.

We made eye contact even in the chaos, only one thing in her eyes. I could see the confidence overflowing from her body, knowing that she would be able to hold her own.

"Alright, Togekiss, support Blaziken, we'll focus on Kyogre. Don't let her do anything too reckless."

With that, the fairy pokemon broke off from the formation, descending to Blaziken's side. I trusted that those two would be able to keep Groudon busy while I came up with a plan to guarantee our victory because as things looked right now, our chances were slim.

My mind raced faster than it ever had before, calculating every outcome each decision I made would have. At first, nothing came to mind as my pokemon kept working to keep the titans busy.

Before I could react, a huge rocky spike pierced through the lava pool, headed for where I was stood. Milotic leapt out of the water, cutting through the rocks with her metallic silver tail. Blaziken leapt from the rubble, bringing her foot down over Groudon's head, pulling the titan's attention back to her.

I could see how much the fire type wanted this, remembering how she had always wanted to go all out in a battle since we had met up with the others weeks ago. This was her time but I wasn't ready to move the final piece just yet.

A dark grey cloud slowly made its way overhead, rumbling with intensity. Then all of a sudden, Kyogre let out a deafening roar, summoning a huge bolt of lightning that couldn't miss in the stormy weather.

There was a flash of green from my side, Flygon breaking his neck to jump in front of the attack. Fortunately, he made it in time, sapping away the electric move as he turned his attention back to the deep sea basin pokemon. The dragon pokemon glowed with a mystical light, engulfed in a multicoloured light, crashing into Kyogre at full speed.

The more I looked around, the more everything became clear to me. All of my pokemon were giving it their all in this fight so I wasn't in this alone. It didn't matter how many times I experienced this revelation, each time would refresh my confidence and determination to pull through no matter the opponent.
