Pro League

"Thunderbolt straight into the whirlpool!" Vance shouted and Dominic electrified the water surrounding him. "Dive!" Vance shouted and the dragon dove down straight at Marine, surrounded by electrified water currents.

"And return!" Elliot returned Marine before swiftly sending out Silver once more. The aggron roared loudly as it allowed the Dragonite to crash against it before grabbing on to it. "Smack Down!" Elliot ordered as Aggron turned around so as to smack the Dragonite against the ground.

"Flamethrower." Vance said coolly and Dominic shot a powerful burst of flame straight into Aggron's face just as he hit the ground.

Silver saw this attack but allowed the fire to hit him causing the Pokemon to grit its teeth as it slammed the Dragonite down onto the ground. "Ice Beam." Silver roared before thrusting its head forward and firing a beam of icy wind at the dragon.

"Another Flamethrower." Vance ordered and once again the flames from the flamethrower melted the ice. Dragonite got up and took off once more. It was visibly wounded but Vance knew that the powerful dragon had a lot more left in the tank.

"Fuck." Elliot gritted his teeth and looked up at the Dragonite. He hadn't made any plans for it, he had thought that Vance wouldn't be one to use his ace in the first match and that ended up costing him greatly. He looked at Silver for a moment and sighed softly. He grabbed a hold of his hat and took it off before looking over at Vance. "A paralyzed Rapidash, a Jolteon at about half it's performance but I can't reach either of them unless I beat your Dragonite." Elliot stated while looking at Dominic. "My Aggron's almost at his limit and summoning Marine would be suicide as well."

"The ace in the hole." Vance said with a smile. "You should always plan for the other guy's ace in the hole." He pointed out as he looked up in the sky at his Dragonite, which was roaring triumphantly. He sensed victory.

Elliot smiled. "Now normally I would keep going with this like some idiot beginner but...." he looked at the Dragonite and then at Vance. "I'm not stupid enough to drag my Pokemon into a battle where the chances or victory are very low so.' he said before dropping the hat to the floor and returning Silver. "I give the victory to you."

"Elliot Foster has returned his Pokemon and has run out of switches, this will be taking as surrendering making Vance Snow the winner of the first match of the Pro League!" the announcer screamed high into the sky causing the crowd to start cheering and clapping.

Elliot looked at Vance for a moment as he picked up his hat and dusted it off. He then walked over to him. "That was a good match, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to make it any better this time."

Vance was smiling as he shook Elliot's hand. "Don't worry about a thing." He said graciously. "We put on a good show for the fans." He gestured out to the seating where the spectators were cheering wildly. "See?"

"Elliot lost..." Kayla frowned and had a clear look of disappointment on her face.

"He did seem to be second best in the battle" Nate said, in response to Kayla's comment.

"Yeah you're right." Elliot grinned as he turned to the crowd. He raised his hand began waving at them while smiling. "I'm not quite there yet but I'll just have to do my best." he nodded his head before turning to Vance. "Also I do know what you mean by saying that being high makes you focus more on the battle."

Vance chuckled at this. "So if you want to share a bowl with me before your next battle, just let me know." He said with a smile before waving to the crowd and walking off the field.

"Poor Eliot..." Mike thought aloud blankly while Yui cheered for Vance.

"Yeah." Elliot nodded his head before he began walking back alongside with Vance.

A few minutes later all of the Trainers had been gathered together on the outside of the stadium, with a large limo parked on the front. "So I trust you're all hungry." John said as he looked at the group. "Cause we'll be going to dinner now."

Elliot walked towards Kayla. "So I didn't win." he chuckled.
