"Each battler gets 10 minutes to prepare for battle!" Kayla shouted over the noise from the people who had gathered around them to watch the fight.

"I hate the thought of Morty losing…" Eevy said, obviously worried.

"I told you already! Morty can beat Taylor any day," Kayla said trying to comfort her, "Don't worry!"

Taylor, ignoring his time to prepare, and walked over to Eevy and Kayla, purely, Eevy thought, to be annoying, "Hey, angel!" he said, being just as Eevy thought, annoying, "After this battle, you will be in my gym! And not with that goofy brother of yours. Doesn't that sound fun?" he said winking.

"And why," Eevy asked, getting annoyed, "would an angel, want to live in a devil's gym?" She turned away, with Kayla eyeballing Taylor, annoyingly.

He scowled and walked away, "Just wait! We'll see who the devil is!"

*^~^**^~^*

"Your 10 minutes are up!" Kayla said, preparing to referee.

Eevy sat with her chin in her palm, she was just waiting for who she would be going home with. At least, she thought, Taylor has a nice car, "Can we hurry this up? I want to get something to eat!"

"Call it!" Kayla said, throwing a coin in the air.

"Heads!" Morty said.

"It's heads, Morty goes first. Three on three, no time limit! Go!"

"Fine! Haunter, get out there! Night Shade!"

"OK!" Taylor shouted, "Skarmory, go! Time to win a new trainee!"

Eevy grunted at the sound of that.

"Skarrrrr!" the silver bird shouted, as it was hit with the Night Shade. It barely seemed to have been phased.

"Skarmory! Steel Wing!"

"Haunter, Transparency!"

"That isn't fair! That is your own secret move!"

"I'll do what I have to to stop you from bothering my sister! You never said no special moves!"

The Skarmory's Steel Wing slipped right throught the Haunter, slamming its head into a tree.

"Now, Haunter, Confuse Ray!"

"Haunter, haunter, haunt!" the Skarmory began pecking itself, making it useless in battle.

"Stupid bird! Skarmory, return!"

"One to nothing, Morty!" Kayla shouted.

Some the crowd cheered, while some of the crowd booed. It was apparent that most of the people there were in favor of Morty, but there were still some exceptions.

"OK! Magneton, go!"

"Haunter, return! Misdreavus! I choose you!"

The two Pokemon emerged from their Poke Balls, ready to battle, "Magneton, Lock-On!"

"Misdreavus, try to avoid it!" Morty was too late, the Lock-On held the Ghost in place, disableing it completely.

"Now, Magneton, use Thunder!"

The wind began to blow faster and faster until there came a spiral of lighting from the sky. It shot the Misdreavus to the ground, with a screech of pain.

"Misdreavus! Try to get up!"

The Pokemon tried with all its might to get off the ground, and did so, until…

"Magneton, Thunder Shock! Take it out!"

"Missssssss!!!" the Pokemon shouted, slamming to the ground.

"Great! If he wins the next one, I'm dead meat!" Eevy said, her heart in her throat.

"But," Kayla said, still trying to calm her down, "if he loses, Morty will have won! You still have a chance!"

"Stop talking."

"Sorry."

"OK! We end this now! The next to win, gets your sister!" Taylor said, just to get Morty angry.

"Fine! Gengar! Save Eevy! I choose you!"

"Here's someone who can win! Steelix, take care of them!"

"Peachy-keen," Eevy said, now with her head pounding, "I am so very much in trouble!"

"Too bad there was no rule made about no Pokemon longer than 6 feet," Kayla said, now just as worried as Eevy.

"Gengar, geng, gengar!" Gengar shouted angrily. He had just been returned through the Poke Ball transport system from Sunflower City. He was ready and raring to go.

"Steeeel!" the Steelix said, ready to help his master win.

"Gengar, go! Night Shade!"

"Not Night Shade again! That is getting too predictable! Steelix, Iron Tail!"

The Steelix slammed into Gengar, sending the Night Shade back in Gengar's face with the reflecting capabilities of its tail. Gengar slammed the wall of the Pokemon Center, leaving a huge crack where he had hit. Gengar then toppled off and onto the ground.

"Gengar! Eevy needs you now more than any time before! If you don't win this, she has to live with Taylor! Stand up and fight for her! She is your friend as much as mine! Get up, please, Gengar! You and I have been through worse together! Please stand up!"

"Gengar, please!" Eevy shouted from beside him.

Gengar began to think about what it was like when Morty first started training him as a Gastly. He had known Eevy since then. He thought about the time that Eevy had helped him learn the Confuse Ray Morty wanted so badly, and when he had gotten a burn from a trainer's Growlithe, and Eevy bought Burn Heal for him. More events with her came to him as he began to stand up, obviously very angry.

"Gengar, gengar, gengar, gennnng!" he shouted, eyes glowing a very angry, boiling red.

"How is it still going?!" Taylor shouted angrily, "Steelix, Body Slam!"

"Gengar, now! Hyper Beam!"

The Steelix charged at Gengar, roaring as it got ever closer. Gengar skillfully dodged the Body Slam, "Why'd it miss?" Taylor shouted, now very mad.

"Normal Type attacks can't hit the Ghosts! Now fire the Beam, Gengar!"

Gengar threw the Hyper Beam right into Steelix's face, sending it flying backward, smashing through a number of thick trees, before coming to a painful halt.

"Morty wins best two out of three! Victory goes to Morty!" Kayla shouted happily jumping up and down, "Eevy! You're safe!"

"Not if we can help it!" Jullian and Joe jumped in front of Eevy, "Skarmory, Magnemite! Go!"

"I won fair and square, scum ball! Leave her alone!" Morty yelled, lunging at Taylor.

"I assure you, I had nothing to do with this!" Taylor said smirking.

"You sleeze!"

"Vovo! Ditto! Come out and help!" Eevy shouted, throwing her Poke Balls to the ground, "Ditto, help Morty! Form a bubble and encase Taylor!"

Ditto did just as he was told, and encased Taylor in a rubbery, unbreakable bubble of pink goo.

"That'll teach you!" Kayla said, spitting her tongue out at him.

"Vovo! Take Down on Magnemite!"

"Mag, magnet!" the Electric Pokemon shouted as Vovo slammed it into the side of the Pokemon Center, leaving it stuck there.

"Just because you beat Joe's Magnemite," Jullian said, looking a bit uneasy, "doesn't mean you can beat my Skarmory! Steel Wing, now!"

"Vovo, jump high and come down on its back!"

"EEV!" Vovo said, flying high then landing on the middle of Skarmory's back.

"Just a 'pretty good' trainer, huh Taylor?" Morty said sarcastically to Taylor, still stuck in the Ditto/bubble.

"Vovo, I know you can do this. Focus hard on what we practiced. Shadow Ball!"

"Don't be stupid!" Jullian said, annoyingly, "Eevees can't use Shadow Ball without a TM, and you don't have any!"

Just as he said that, Vovo fired a huge ball of black and purple light into the back of Skarmory's head, sending Skarmory soaring to the ground, with a great thump.

"Oh, really?" Eevy said.

"How, what, where, since when?" Jullian asked, dumbfounded.

"Me next!" Kayla shouted, "Kingdra, Dragon Breath, now!"

The Kingdra shot a long stream of green fire at the Skarmory, making it scream in pain.

"Now Kingdra, hit Magnemite with a Bubble Beam!"

"I'll leave this fight to you!" Eevy said to Kayla, walking away, "So, Taylor, having fun in there?"

The only response was a muffled noise. He sounded angry.

"Ditto, let him go."

"That was not fair! You could have killed me!" Taylor shouted at her.

"Do you think anyone who isn't related to you would care?" Morty asked, annoyed, "I won, just as fair as you lost! Get out of here!"

"Fine! Good bye! Hopefully, someday, you'll change your mind, angel."

"Get lost, creep!" Eevy shouted angrily.

Taylor took his Pokemon and his trainees back to his Gym, promising never to bother them again.

"Good riddens!" Morty said, as the three of them walked away.

"I hope we can still be friends, Eevy," Kayla said from behind them.

"Don't worry! I'm sure he'll be back again anyway. Besides, nobody ever said you had to leave us alone too," Eevy said smiling.

"Great! I better go too! Bye Eevy! Congratulations Morty!"

"Eevy," Morty said, "you did great! I think we should go see Pro. Palm tomorrow, to get you registered!"

"Great! Vovo, Ditto! I'm very proud of you! Vovo! That Shadow Ball was magnificent! Ditto! Wonderful transformation!"

"How did you teach him Shadow Ball?"

"None of your business!"

In The Next Cronicle:

Morty and Eevy decide to travel to Daffodill City to see Pro. Palm, but Morty won't be able to go because he hasn't yet had time to spend with their mother and father. So, Eevy decides to go alone, but, what is following her? What does it want? Why is it following her, anyway? Why doesn't Eevy feel that it is a bad thing? Find out soon in:

Kind Hearted Legends

Notes

I told you this chapter would focus around the title! I think this chapter turned out OK, even if I could have done more with it. The reason he is called Pro. Palm? Think about it: Pro. Oak, Pro. Ivy, Pro. Elm – all trees! As if I'm the only one to notice that : ) I'm not going to give any clues to cronicle 5, I consider it to be one of the more misgevious parts so far. You'll find out soon enough!
