Battle Scar 「POKEMON」

37 | A MAIDEN AGAINST SILVER

"Hold your ground! Don't let your enemy push through!" Tatsu shouted as he threw forward a strong punch which was immediately blocked by Corvis' forearm. The Johto native grunted as he felt the force from Tatsu's fist, then gasped as his leg went for his gut. Corvis spat out saliva as he was kicked aside onto the ground

"Which I see you obviously can't do well even after a few days of training," Tatsu remarked as Corvis wiped his mouth, standing up straight.

"I would complain right now," he started, "but I'm sure you'll just get all wise with me saying I'll suffer much worse"

Tatsu placed his hand on his hips. "Hmph at least you know that well, maybe you aren't completely hopeless," he smirked. "And here I thought that you would change after what Iris told you the other day,"

Corvis didn't say anything, tightening his fist. He remembered all the smiles and laughter from the festival night, the smiles that could stay like that forever on everyone and his friends.

"I know what I have to do, don't tell me twice," he narrowed his gave at Tatsu. "But keep this in mind, I'm not doing this to make Dragonian's name better, it's so that Hoenn or I guess the world," he raised his arms up "as you guys said it, don't get destroyed,"

"Do you think all dragons are the same?" Tatsu asked out of nowhere.

"Huh?"

"Dragons maybe the same creatures, but as humans, each is unique. There are dragons who can't fly, dragons who can't breathe fire, dragons who aren't even aggressive, all of them have their own unique way of survival but in the end, the only thing that matters to them is living," he started, "it doesn't matter which path you choose to walk on, as long as our paths will reach the same place, you can do whatever you want," he finished.

Corvis stared at him for a few minutes, "Wow you all really are wise," he mocked as Tatsu's fist was suddenly getting nearer. Corvis grabbed it and ducked before trying to strike his gut. The Dragonian responded by arms and tossing him overhead.

Corvis landed on the ground behind Tatsu with a thud.

"Ow..." he moaned.

"Enough talk, let's continue,"

Sara couldn't help but admire the dress that managed to fit her figure perfectly. It wasn't too tight nor was it too loose. The long skirt never really got in her way too much but even if it did she was practically used to it. The makeup she had on also fit well with her. But despite how she felt about her appearance now, she couldn't help but admit there was a slight feeling of disappointment in her.

Wish he was here right now. She wondered how Corvis would react seeing her now.

"Thinking about Corvis huh?" a new voice interrupted her as she turned around to see Chloe trying to put on her earrings her. Her face turned red in the moment and she suddenly lost the ability to speak properly.

"Wh-Wh-what are you talking about hehe?" she let out as Chloe snickered.

"You don't have to hide it you know, it's quite obvious," she said as Sara buried her face in her palms.

"Plus, don't forget that time when I walked into you and Corvis back in the hospital room," Chloe teased as Sara's face got even redder. Placing a hand on her shoulder, Chloe sighed. "Trust me, I still regret not waiting a few more minutes,"

"Alright that's enough!" Sara blurted out. "We can't leave your brother waiting! Let's go!"

"We're not really here to battle remember?" Chloe pointed out.
