As Twilight and Riley stood around twenty feet apart, with Mason and the others standing aside, the wind began to gust, sending whirlwinds of leaves around them. As Twilight looked at the Pokeball containing Aegislash, she frowned slightly.

"This is my first battle." she thought. "Here's hoping I don't mess up."

"Ready?"

Riley's call snapped her back to reality. She shook the thoughts away and smiled.

"Yes. Hit me with your best shot!"

"My pleasure! Scyther! Let's go!"

As Riley tossed her Pokeball into the air, it opened, sending out a line of blue energy, revealing the Mantis Pokemon.

Twilight grinned and tossed her Pokeball into the air, revealing the Sword Pokemon, Aegislash.

"Alright, let's go! Scyther, Night Slash!"

Scyther roared and charged horizontally at the Sword Pokemon, its left and right blades cloaked in dark purple. Twilight frowned.

"Aegislash! Dodge it!"

Aegislash did not move as ordered. Instead, it launched  a pulse wave, screeching a harsh sound, like scraping metal, straight at Scyther.

"Dodge it!" Riley commanded, and Scyther spun to the left, dodging the Metal Sound Attack.

"Aegislash! Listen to me!" Twilight yelled, but the Sword Pokemon did not respond. Launching itself forward, it switched to Blade Forme. Drawing back, it then cloaked itself in a blue aura and slashed. Scyther nimbly dodged and launched another Night Slash. This time, the super-effective move conencted. Aegislash was sent flying backwards into a tree.

"AEGISLASH!" Twilight yelled, and Riley frowned.

"She doesn't have a bond with her Pokemon. Is she really this inexperienced?" She thought. Shaking her head, she focused on the battle.

"Scyther! Night slash again!" she ordered, and Scyther again lunged. Aegislash dove out of the smoke from the impact and launched itself forward, ignoring Twilight's command to dodge.

"Aegislash!" Twilight pleaded. Riley sighed in response.

Scyther slashed and cut several times, and Aegislash did not attempt to dodge, taking the super-effective moves. Then, it screeched and suddenly dove to the side, dodging another Night Slash, then it  suddenly put up a shimmering blue shield whilst switching back to shield forme. Riley frowned.

"Scyther! Come back!"  she said, and it flew back to Riley. Aegislash lowered its shield and launched forward again, ignoring Twilight's protests. Jumping into the air, it switched to blade forme and dived, readying a Sacred Sword attack. Riley did not do anything in response. As soon as Aegislash was about to connect, she suddenly yelled "NIGHT SLASH!" Scyther grinned and sent another super-effective move straight towards Aegislash. Failing to dodge, despite Twilight's order, it took the blow. This was the final nail in the coffin. Aegislash collapsed to the ground, knocked out. Twilight cried out and ran towards her fainted partner. Riley recalled Scyther and dove into her bag. Twilight shed a few tears as she collapsed to the ground. Shaking her partner, she gasped slightly.

"He's okay."

Twilight looked up, and Riley was offering her a small yellow crystal.

"He's just knocked out. Here. This revive should help him feel better."

Twilight took the crystal and gave it to her partner. As the Sword Pokemon absorbed it, it got up slowly. Twilight recalled it into his Pokeball, and sighed.

"What now?" she said to herself.

"We train."

Twilight turned to Matthew, who had a sympathetic expression on his face.

"I'll help you, Theresa. We just need time."
