Julian starts the battle by grabbing a Poké ball from his waist and activating it.
(Julian) "Let´s start with you buddy."
The Poké Ball opens to reveal the Pokémon inside it.
(Announcer) "Oh, Julian leads off with his Sandslash. They are already known in other cities for a brutal and efficient fighting style. Even when they´re up against types that Sandslash should usually be weak against they usually prevail and defeat them."
Once the Announcer has finished the Introduction for his adversary in this battle James steps forward and activates his Poké Ball.
(James) "Let me handle this one. I have the perfect Pokémon for the Job. Go Victreebel!"
However, as soon as it comes out of the Pokéball it tries to engulf James in its pitcher again, much to James dismay.
(James) "Stop it Victreebel! We´re not playing and we fed you half an hour ago. There´s a battle to win"
Peeling the Victeebell of his Face he throws it into the Battle Area.
(Announcer) "Seems like James has an unruly Victribell that would rather feed on its Trainer than battle against Julian´s Sandslash. Anyways, with that, the first Pokémon have been selected, so let the Battle commence!"
Both Pokémon looks tense and about to Attack each other, the only thing needed for that to happen is but a simple command from their Trainers which Julian Initiates.
(Julian) "Sandslash, start with a fast Slash attack!"
Once it hears its command Sandslash breaks out in a mad dash towards Victreebel which is getting ready to counter
(James) "Victreebel, dodge it and douse it with Sleep Powder and then follow up with Razor Leaf!"
Victreebel dodges the Slash attack by jumping into the Air and unleashing a bunch of Powder into the Air which makes Sandslash fall asleep.
Once the Sandslash closes its eyes from the Powders effect, Victreebel begins bombarding it with Razor Leaf.
While Mira looks at the fight both horrified and excited Jessie taps her on the shoulder. This makes Mira turn towards her with a 'What is it' Face.
(Jessie) "Since James is currently battling that Sandslash I better show you how to use that Pokédex."
She says as she takes the Dex from Miras Bag.
"This thing starts automatically as soon as you open it and then you just point the front at the Pokémon you want to know more about and that´s about it. Oh yeah, the voice will only tell you a bit of trivia about them, the important information is on the screen when you use it."
Taking back the Pokédex Mira opens it up and Points it at the Sandslash.
(Pokédex) "Sandslash, the Mouse Pokémon. It is skilled at slashing enemies with its claws. If broken, they start to grow back in a day."
Mira listens to the description that´s given by the Pokédex with low interest and instead reads the info on the Dex itself.

After a quick read through, Mira once again focusses on James battle against Julians Sandslash which begins with Julian Screaming at Sandslash to finally wake up.
After quite a lot of Bombardment by Victreebels Razor Leafs Sandslash wakes up but appears to be quite worn out already.
Julian then commands it to use Sandtomb which catches Vitreebel right in its centre.
James at a loss of what to do in this case commands Vitreebel to just fire Razor Leafs at every possible Direction which, sadly for them, only hits the Walls and the Ground.
Julian already expecting James to just Fire randomly everywhere commands Sandslash to go and Dash into the Sandtomb and finish it with a few Slash attack.
Once the Sandtomb settles down there lies a knocked out Victreebel with a tired Sandslash standing on top of it.
(Announcer) "Wow, I didn´t expect to see that. That was a brilliant move by Julian and his Sandslash to use his own Sandtomb as Camouflage to get closer to the Enemy and getting rid of it in its confusion. And with that Julian takes out the first Pokémon in this Duel. Now it´s about time for the group to send out their next Pokémon."
James steps down from the Battle Area after sending Victreebel back into its Pokéball and puts a hand on Jessie's shoulder under the Audiences applause.
(James) "Do your best, he´s better than the twerp and his Friends. Especially in the Tactics department."
Jessie simply walks forward making James' hand fall down from her shoulder.
(Jessie) "No worries James. I can knock that Sandslash out really fast since it´s basically on its last legs. I just hope Mira knows how to battle since me K.O.ing all 3 of his Pokémon will probably be impossible."
Now that Jessie is on the Trainer Zone she grabs a Pokéball from her Belt she unleashes her Arbok onto the Battlefield.
Both Trainers command their Pokémon to attack, Arbok tries to enclose Sandslash in a Bind attack and Sandslash tries to knock out Arbok with a Slash attack. Once Arbok is in Melee range Sandslash tries to land its Slash attack but gets caught by the Bind instead.
(Jessie) "Good Job Arbok. Now finish it with a bite attack!"
Arbok targets Sandslash´s belly with the Bite attack which makes it pass out making the Spectators erupt in a cheer for her while Julian calls back his Sandslash.
(Announcer) "That was a beautiful finisher from Jessie and her Arbok there. targeting the Sandslash´s belly instead of just Biting and hoping for the best since that could have severely hurt Arbok. Now we´re eagerly awaiting which Pokémon Julian will present next in this duel.
Julian takes out another one of his Pokéballs which opens to reveal the Pokémon inside of it.
(Julian) "Okay, Sandslash going down was to be expected. Let´s have you do better than him Jynx."
The revealed Jynx raises a sonorous battle cry.
Mira once again opens her Pokédex and holds it in Jynx´s direction.
(Pokédex) "Jynx, the Humanoid Pokémon. It talks in a strange, incomprehensible language. It is known for its weird wiggling that causes people to dance.

While Mira reads up on Information regarding Jynx the fight already started with Jynx using Powder Snow on the whole Battle Area.
(Announcer) "Oh wow, that was a smart Idea from Julian to turn the whole Stage into something that Favors Ice Types and is pretty detrimental towards Pokémon like Arbok and other Cold blooded Pokémon."
Julian throws a smug Smile at Jessie, making her click her Tongue in annoyance.
(Jessie) "Fine. If that´s how you want to play... Arbok use Dig."
Once Jessie's command is heard by Arbok it starts to dig down and disappears from the Arena.
(Announcer) "And now we have an equally awesome Strategy from Jessie to avoid Arbok from cooling down any more than this by disappearing into the floor. Let´s just hope for Julian that he knows how to deal with Suprise Attacks."
Now Jessie is throwing back a smug Smile towards Julian making him clench his fist in anger of being Mimicked.
(Julian) "Jynx, watch out and hit the place where it tries to come out with an Ice Punch."
Jynx starts to focus and looks around her where Arbok could come from when she suddenly starts feeling the ground underneath her coming up.
Reacting to the bulging ground she jumps back a step and Punches the bulging ground, but she loses balance since there is no Arbok in the bulge making her drop down into the hole with half of her sticking out of the floor.
Jessie is now giving off a sinister Grin that could even scare Dark-type Pokémon.
(Jessie) "Good Job Arbok now hit it with a Double Edge!"
Once Jessie's command is heard Jynx is catapulted out of the hole it was stuck in with Arbok looking out of the hole with its head.
The Jynx lands flat on its face but still gets back up.
(Announcer) "Oh boy, it seems like the before laid Powder Snow was enough to dampen the fall a bit for Jynx. But that one Hit seems to have taken its toll on her nonetheless."
(Julian) "Jynx, go in for a Double Slap but this time dodge Arboks Attacks."
Jynx once again rushes into battle in a dance-like motion and Jessie is already starting to yell at Arbok.
(Jessie) "Go for another Dig attack."
However, before Arbok can start tunnelling Jynx is already slapping it around furiously, perhaps in revenge for that unwanted flying lesson.
(Announcer) "Oh, it seems like Arbok is getting affected by the cooled Area and moving slower than usual. Let´s see if they can find a way out of this predicament."
Jessie is grinding her Teeth out of frustration but then she has an Idea.
(Jessie) "Arbok, use Double Edge even if you get hit by Jynx you must connect it."
But Julian isn´t sleeping around and is instead commanding Jynx.
(Julian) "Good job Jynx, now that it´s weakened finish it off with an Ice Punch!"
Both Pokémon, perceiving their Owners Orders charge at one another after Arbok placed some distance between it and Jynx by shooting it out of the hole it dug.
Arboks hit connects first and slams straight into Jynx´s chest, but Jynx is still able to get her Ice Punch to hit Arbok on its side. This ends with Jynx fainting first with Arbok just a second after it, which makes the Audience clap and cheer in excitement for this battle.
(Announcer) "And there we have it, the surprise of the day. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a double K.O. Now it´s all down to the last Pokémon for both contestants with a good counter from Jynx to take down Arbok with it."
Jessie and Julian both retrieve their knocked out Pokémon from the battlefield via Poké Ball and Jessie begins her walk back towards James and Mira.
(Jessie) "Well, that went better than expected. At least that Jynx didn´t have any Psychic Moves otherwise Mira would´ve needed to beat two Pokémon."
Mira's eyes are swimming from one side to the other nervously as if she wants to say something but is embarrassed about it.
(James) "Is something the matter Mira?"
Mira scratches her head and then slowly nods.
(Mira) "Well, I never had a Pokémon Battle so this will be my first time and I also don´t know what Abilities Alakazam has."
Meowth quickly talks to Alakazam in the natural Language of Pokémon and is able to answer Mira almost immediately by whispering into her ear.
(Meowth) "Alakazam knows how to use Reflect, Confusion, Telekinesis, and Psybeam. But we have no time to explain what they do, our opponent is waiting."
Mira rolls her Wheelchair to the Trainer Area and points at the stage, upon which Alakazam enters the designated Battle Area.
Meanwhile, Julian takes a third Poké Ball from his belt and activates it revealing a Haunter.
(Announcer) "And now we have the Final round of this Duel. Mira and her Alakazam versus Julian and his Haunter. Let us see how this last round will unfold."
Once the battle starts Haunter simply disappears into the floor.
(Mira) "Oh COME ON! How´s that fair?"
Julian simply laughs.
(Julian) "What? It´s just the natural advantage of Ghost-types. Anyways enough talking, Haunter use Shadow Punch!"
Haunter comes out of the ground right behind Alakazam and tries to connect with a Shadow Punch but Alakazam notices the Haunters Shadow Punch and tries to dodge it. However, tries sadly for it doesn´t mean succeeds and he takes a Shadow Punch to the Arm making Alakazam form a grimace in Pain.
(Mira) "Alakazam retaliate with Psybeam."
However, before Alakazam can shoot the beam of Psychic energy Haunter tries to disappear into the floor once again but gets hit in the back a second before it can enter the ground completely.
(Announcer) "Oh man, I´m out of words here. Julian battles like someone with at least eight badges, I simply don´t believe he only got 3 badges under his belt, otherwise, my Job would be much more exciting."
The pattern of Haunter going into the floor to land a surprise attack with Shadow Punch repeats a few times but both party's dodge since they knew what to expect when Mira has an Idea to get them out of this stalemate.
(Mira) "Alakazam when he comes out next time hold him up with Telekinesis."
Sadly for Julian before he can react Haunter comes out of the ground to once again try to connect a hit into Alakazam and is lifted high into the Air instead.
(Mira) "Good Job, now that he has no way to dodge hit him with a Psybeam!"
While Alakazam gathers Psychic energy to shoot at his opponent Julian doesn´t just stand there and commands Haunter as well.
(Julian) "Haunter this is what we´ve been waiting for. Use Shadow Ball!"
Haunter starts gathering ghostly energy around him and starts forming it into a ball in front of his mouth.
Once the Energy they gathered has formed into their intended attack Alakazam is the first to unleash it, however, Haunter shoots it at the Psybeam when it´s already travelled about 75% of the way towards Haunter causing the Energies to clash with one another.
Both Pokémon battle for supremacy with their attack and push more and more power into their attack, however, Alakazam is getting forced back slowly.
Once the clashing attacks reach a 50/50 in terms of distance Mira starts to notice that Alakazam won´t be able to dodge if he shuts off the Psybeam and runs.
(Mira) "Alakazam, try to overcharge that Shadow ball and make it explode."
Alakazam, hearing the order starts to put disruptive Psychic Energies into his Psybeam, however, the Shadowball only slowly gets more and more unstable until it finally starts exploding when the tables have turned completely and the clashing attacks are now 75% of the way towards Alakazam instead, making the Explosion engulf him and a part of the floor making dust and Powder Snow fly everywhere.
(Announcer) "Seems like Mira´s Plan ended up backfiring hard on her. That must have definitely hurt and blinded Alakazam. Haunter is also gone again, let´s see how this is going to end."
Once the dust has settled Alakazam is still standing, but only barely. Meanwhile, Haunter is nowhere to be found. Both Mira and Alakazam are once again presuming that it´s going to use the same Tactic as before. That thought, however, is instantly betrayed.
(Julian) "Haunter, use Shadow Ball and end this!"
Suddenly a Shadow Ball appears from the hole Arbok dug to beat Jynx with a surprise attack and both Alakazam and Mira react too late since they expected another attack from the floor. Due to the surprise Factor, the Shadow Ball hits its mark spot on and Alakazam goes down.
(Announcer) "And there goes the battle. The Winner is Julian with Haunter bringing him the final victory and what a brilliant victory it was. Using the Tunnel the enemy Arbok dug in the Duel against Jynx to his own advantage for a surprise attack was just a genius move on his part. And with that, we´re done here. Would the contestants be so kind as to leave the Duel Area so we can repair it for the next battle that is taking place here in a bit."
With a final applause from the Audience, the four of them leave the Area in defeat and towards the Pokécenter to heal their Pokémon back up.
Though once they leave the Arena they get ambushed by Julian coming to presumably taunt them.
(Julian) "Hey, sorry for the provocation, but I needed to fight someone and win to get myself some funds and the missy seemed like a good match to make a bit of cash."
Mira's face scrunches up as if she chewed a bug.
(Mira) "And what makes you say that? If I remember correctly you tried to scam my Bodyguard with some grade school level Acting."
Julian laughs instead of getting angry this time which perplexes the four.
(Julian) "Why would I need to scam an insurance company if I could just obtain the money legally by beating you in a battle?"
James and Jessie now look at him questionably.
(James) "Wait, but professional Trainers don´t get money for a win in battle, how come you are different?"
Julian opens his Jacket and takes out a hexagonal Badge with an Ace of Clubs on it.
(Julian) "I´m part of a group called the Ace Trainers and yes our Leader sadly likes puns a lot. Anyways our Group pays for each victory by betting on their members and bodyguards are usually at the strength as a Professional Trainer with 6 Badges, so my current 3 Badges pumped up the chances to a 3 to 1 in your favour. And because of that, I came over to apologize and thank you at the same time."
Mira and Jessie look baffled that he acted bad intentionally to bait Mira into challenging him, while Meowth acts like a regular Meowth and starts napping on Mira´s Lap.
(James) "The way you formulate is though seems more like taunting us instead of thanking us. So we´d appreciate if you just went your way and we go ours and never speak with each other again."
Julian looks at him with a shit eating grin.
(Julian) "Or what? You´re going to whine me to death?"
Suddenly Julian starts shaking as if someone shoved a Snowball down his Jacket.
(Mira) "No, but I´m going to build a weapon that will disintegrate you, you insufferable piece of shit. And the only reason you´re currently still alive is that I currently don´t have the pieces to build a weapon of deadly proportions. So I´d advise you to piss off before I build these missing Pieces from your Poké Balls and sending your Pokémon into the void of their Pocket Dimensions."
Julian starts to get cocky again and once again displays his Smile at her empty threat until Mira pulls out a Poké Ball and crushes it into tiny pieces making Julian run away faster than an Abra in the wild.
(Jessie) "Wow Mira, you´ve got kind of a bad temper at the moment."
Mira now swipes away the hull of the Poké Ball she destroyed and puts the Circuit Boards back into her Bag with Jessie and James staring at her like a being straight out of a horror movie.
(Mira) "Well I never liked to be taunted and I usually have a pretty explosive Temperament. Anyways what´re you two staring at me for? Let´s get our Pokémon fixed up already and then it´s off towards the Docks. I want to see what the Store you talked about has in stock."
