Andy watched as the other matches finished and was eager to challenge Morty himself.
'Morty i was wondering if i could challenge you to a battle' said Andy eagerly.
'Fine by me' smiled Morty 'does 2 on 2 suit you, i'm a little low on pokemon until i can get to the pokemon centre'
'That's fine with me' grinned Andy.
'Alright then 2 on 2 it is' said Morty reaching for a pokeball 'go Gastly'.
Gastly appeared and started to hover in front of Morty.
'Ga ga Gastly' it said.
Andy knew just which pokemon to choose.
'Go Hoothoot' he said releasing his first pokemon.
'Impressive' said Morty, you're going to try what your friend tried, but it won't work this time.
'We'll see' said Andy confidently.
'Challenger to start' said Morty, motioning for Andy to make the first move.
'If you insist' said Andy 'Hoothoot Foresight'.
'Exactly what i thought you'd do' chuckled Morty 'counter with Confuse Ray'.
A dark beam of light was shot at Hoothoot and it became confused before it could use it's Foresight, and Andy knew he was in trouble.
'Did you think i'd fall for that twice?' laughed Morty.
Hoothoot started dancing around in its confused state, not realising where it was.
'Hoothoot snap out of it please' begged Andy knowing that if it didn't he could lose the match.
'Peck' ordered Andy desperately trying anything.
Hoothoot flew forward and crached straight into a wall.
Andy looked at it and shook his head 'i don't believe i'm going to lose before i've even started'.
'Nightshade' ordered Morty.
'Dodge it' shouted Andy.
The bump on the head seemed to do some good because Hoothoot managed to dodge just in time, and it seemed to be back to its old self.
'Foresight' ordered Andy.
Before Gastly had a chance it was hit with a sprite beam of light.
'Tackle' ordered Andy.
'Confuse Ray' ordered Morty.
Hoothoot charged towards Gastly and the two attacks collided.
'Hoothoot' shouted Andy fearing the worst.
When the smoke had cleared, the two pokemon did not have a scratch on them, and Hoothoot turned and smiled at Andy, before starting to glow.
Within a few seconds it had evolved into a Noctowl, and it had a blue glow coming from its head, and Andy knew what that meant.
'Confusion' ordered Andy.
Noctowl fired a huge beam of blue light at Gasty.
'Counter with Nightshade' shouted Morty, but it wasn't strong enough.
The Nightshade was dispersed and Gastly fell to the floor.
'Gastly' it said as it fainted.
'Well done' said Morty calling back his Gastly 'but you haven't seen anything yet, go Gengar'.
Gengar appeared and started sticking its tongue out at Andy and Noctowl.
Andy was not impressed by Gengar.
'The bigger the are the harder they fall, right Noctowl?' said Andy confidently.
Noctowl nodded in a agreement.
'Foresight' said Andy.
Noctowl fired its beam at Gengar, but Morty made no attempt to counter, he just stood there and smiled.
'Alright Noctowl Confusion' ordered Andy.
Morty laughed 'Shadow Ball'.
Gengar fired a huge ball of dark energy straight at Noctowl and it cut through the Confusion like it was nothing, knocking Noctowl out of the air.
'Noctowl are you ok' asked Andy concerned.
Noctowl was out cold and couldn't answer.
'I can't believe he beat me with one attack' thought Andy shocked at what he'd just seen.
He called Noctowl back and grabbed his next pokeball, 'go Bayleef' he said releasing his final pokemon.
Bayleef appeared ready for battle.
'Shadow Ball' said Morty wanting a quick finish.
The Shadow Ball was heading straight for Bayleef.
'Vine Whip' ordered Andy.
Morty looked confused by what he just heard, but it soon became obvious why Andy had ordered that attack, because the Shadow Ball was hit full force by Bayleef's vines and hit Gengar straight in the chest.
'Very nice counter attack' said Morty.
'Thanks' said Andy grinning, i'm glad you liked it.
Gengar jumped back into position, ready to continue.
'Lick' ordered Morty.
Gengar's huge tongue shot out at Bayleef.
'Grab it' ordered Andy.
Bayleef managed to wrap one of its vines around Gengar's tongue.
'Now throw it' ordered Andy.
Gengar was tossed into the air and came crashing to the floor.
'Finish with Body Slam full power' ordered Andy.
Before Gengar had a chance to recover, Bayleef jumped into the air and slammed its full weight onto Gengar knocking it out cold.
Morty was stunned that Gengar had lost.
'That was a very impressive display' said Morty calling back Gengar 'you've earned this'.
He walked towards Andy, shook his hand and then gave his a Fog badge.
'Thanks Morty' beamed Andy as he pinned his newest badge to his jacket.
He called back Bayleef, thanked Morty and raced to the pokemon centre.
