Hellooooo... is there anybody still reading?

John was quite sad... It was his first defeat.
- Darn... come back... - he said, recalling his pokemon to its pokeball.
- Nice battle. - Rachel said.
- Shut up! - he shouted and ran away.
- Wait! - Suzana said - Humph. That boy... - then she followed her brother.
I apologyzed Rachel for John, but she said that doesn´t matter. He would learn to accept a defeat in the future.
- Well, so I guess it´s your turn to battle now, right?
- Yep.
- How many badges do you have?
- I´ve gotten 4 badges.
- Hehe, so your 5th badge won´t be earned so easily! - she said with a smile. - We´ll use 3 pokemon each. The rules will be the basic ones... no two pokemon sleeping at the same time, no ohko moves and, this time, no recovery moves.
- No recovery moves? - Jumpluff won´t be able to use Synthesis then.
- Yes, are you ready, Meowth guy?
- OK. Go, Skull Kid!
- Lanturn!
Oops! Lanturn may be an electric pokemon, but it´s also a water one! Skull Kid may be in trouble.
- By the way, - I said - I didn´t introduce myself, I´m sorry. My name is Leo.
- And I´m Rachel, you know. Lanturn, Water Pulse!
Marowak was hit by a powerful blast of water, but it wasn´t defeated yet.
- Bonemerang!
Marowak threw his bone on Lanturn.
- Attack, now!
Lanturn used another Water Pulse attack, but this time, on Marowak´s bone. Both moves colided and canceled each other´s effect.
- Confuse Ray!
Lanturn´s er... lamp fired a ray on Marowak, which became dizzy. What should I do now...?
- Finish it with your Water Pulse attack!
- Come back! - I could send out Vaporeon, so it would absorb Water Pulse. But it would easily die with an electric attack... - Go, Carol!
Jumpluff took the water blast instead of Marowak. It wasn´t very effective, but Jumpluff also became confused.
- Carol, use Sleep Powder!
But she fell on the ground instead, still confused.
- A fast pokemon is nothing without its speed, so, use Thunderwave!
Rachel was right. Jumpluff´s power was its speed. But it became paralyzed after attacked by a Thunderwave. I´m really in trouble.
- Sleep Powder, c´mon!
- Charge Beam!
Fortunately, Jumpluff wasn´t confused anymore and could dodge Lanturn´s attack. Lanturn almost escaped from Jumpluff, but it couldn´t, since it couldn´t move very much - being a fish out of water doesn´t help it to avoid my attacks.
- Now, Leech Seed!
- Come back! Go, Jolteon!
Her Jolteon was tough-looking. It was hit by some seeds, that sprouted and wrapped it.
- Come back, Carol! Let´s go, Skull Kid!
At least, Skull Kid would receive some energy from Jumpluff´s Leech Seed.
- Bonemerang!
- Shadow Ball!
Her Jolteon attacked so fast, that Marowak couldn´t even aim it with its bone. Marowak was defeated.
- Ok, come back. Go, Magneto!
I hope my new pokemon will save me...
- Thunderwave, Jolteon!
- Magnet Bomb!
Both pokemon were hitted. All I can do against that Jolteon is to fire unnafective Magnet Bombs... My Magneton´s other moves are Thunderwave, Lock-On and Spark. I´d be really stupid to try any electric move against her Jolteon.
- Come back, Jolteon! Go, Loudred!
Oh, geez... Won´t we ever stop switching out?
- Magnet Bomb!
Her Loudred jumped to avoid the attack, but it was hit anyways. Heh, Magnet Bomb never misses.
- Loudred, Flamethrower!
- What?!
Magneto was almost hit by Loudred´s fire attack. It would be knocked out if Loudred didn´t miss.
- Thunderwave, quickly!
Now it was Loudred´s turn to be paralyzed.
- Flamethrower again!
- Spark!
Loudred opened it´s mouth... and stood still, paralyzed. Phew... that was close! Magneton charged towards Loudred, its body glowing with electricity... BAM! A critical hit! Loudred was defeated.
- You´re quite lucky, Leo. Ok, go again, Jolteon!
- Magneto, use Magnet Bomb!
- Charge Beam!
Jolteon attacked first and Magneton became full paralyzed.
- Heh, my turn to be lucky, I guess. Charge Beam!
- Magnet Bomb, go!
Jolteon´s SAtk became higher after it attacked. Then Magneton attacked again. Jolteon tried to run, but Magnet Bomb was following it. It was so incredibly fast... It was even a little funny: Jolteon was trying to escape from the Magnet Bomb, but the bomb wasn´t stopping to follow it. Hey! That gave me an idea.
- Keep firing Magnet Bombs!
Jolteon was running from the first Magnet Bomb, but it was still following it. Then Magneton fired 1, 2, 3 more bombs, that kept going after Jolteon.
- Ugh, that´s not good... Try a Shadow...!
BOOOM! A big explosion indicated that my bombs finally hitted Jolteon. It was defeated.
- Nice one, Magneto!
- OK, come back Jolteon. Tsk, tsk, it shouldn´t have tried to dodge... Go, Lanturn!
Her Lanturn was still sleeping. That´s my chance!
- Come back, Magneto! Go, Jumpluff!
Magneto had nothing that could affect a Lanturn. But Jumpluff does!
- Leech Seed!
Jumpluff was fully paralyzed. But the foe still hadn´t awaken.
- Leech Seed, Carol!
She attacked this time. Lanturn was still sleeping...
- Mega Drain!
After Carol attacked, Lanturn finally woke up. It was quite angry.
- Charge Beam!
- Avoid it!
Carol was fully paralyzed. The electric attack knocked it out.
- Ok, you fought well. We´re almost done! Go, Magneto!
Both pokemon were tired. But Magneto had more energy left.
- Water Pulse!
Magneto was almost defeated... it´s really weak now. But it´s my turn! I´ll win!
- Magnet Bomb!
Lanturn survived the attack, but Leech Seed drained its remaing energy.
- That was close. - Rachel said - Well, here´s your prize, the sound badge.
She gave me a white circle emblem with a black note on it.
