Chapter 2: Enter Gregory and Beldum

I leave the lab, heading to my house. Gregory would be following.

{Gregory} 'Hey, Brady!'

I look back at him. "Huh?"

{Gregory} 'Well, we're both officially trainers..possibly rivals now too..' He smirks.

"Uh..and?"

{Gregory} 'How about a battle?' His smirk doesn't leave his face.

"Uh.."

{Gregory} 'I mean, if you don't want to, that's cool , too.. it's okay to admit that your Elekid is a weakling..' He chuckles.

I clench my fists.

Elekid jumps off of my shoulder, right in front of me.

"Huh..?" I'd be surprised.

Elekid looks back, nodding and giving a smirk.

I smile. "Alright then."

Gregory smirks, grabbing a poke ball from his belt, he taps the button on the poke ball. The poke ball gets bigger.

{Gregory} 'Go, Beldum!' He throws the ball. The ball hits the ground and his Beldum appears.

I grab my pokédex from my pocket, holding it up. The screen lights up showing a picture of it.

{Pokédex} 'Beldum, the Steel/psychic pokemon. Its cells are all magnets. It uses magnetism to communicate with others of its kind. With magnetic traction, it pulls its opponents in close. When they're in range, it slashes them with its rear claws.'

I smirk. "You can have the first move!"

{Gregory} 'You made a mistake there! Beldum, Take Down!'

A white aura surrounds Beldum, as it charges at Elekid.

"Elekid, use quick attack to dodge!"

Elekid quick dodges the attack, Beldum flying past, then stopping.

{Gregory} 'Beldum, Take Down, again!'

Beldum charges once more.

"Elekid, use quick attack once more, then use thunder shock!"

Elekid obeys, dodging, barely to the right. Electricity surround his right arm, including his fist. He swings his arm back, then striking fast.

Beldum gets hits onto the ground after the hit.

{Gregory} 'Beldum, get up!'

Beldum gets back up, tired and weak.

{Gregory} 'Impressive, but that's the end of the road for you!' He chuckles. 'Beldum, take down!'

I shrug. "Elekid, again!"

Elekid obeys once again, delivering a quick strike into Beldum.

Beldum hits the ground, unable to battle.

"You were saying?" I smirk.

Elekid comes back, hopping onto my shoulder.

"You were great out there Elekid!" I smile.

Gregory returns Beldum to his poke ball.

{Gregory} 'You were both great, can we battle again next time we meet?'

I smirk. "You're going to go down again."

{Gregory} 'Oh, we'll see about that!'

We both chuckle.

He holds his hand out for a handshake. I take his, shaking it.

{Gregory} 'Till we meet again, Brady!' He turns and heads off.
