23 slap* You are crazy (1/2)

Luxio was covered in bloody wounds as he was still biting Rampardos who was lying on the ground as his legs twitched in pain. The ground around them was covered in blood as the both Pokemon laid there with no strength to move.

Saad stared at the scene and his eyes turned misty. He looked at the injured Pokemon as guilt began to flood his heart. He knew that collisions of two powerful attacks at such a close distance will result in devastating consequences but his desire to win the battle clouded his mind as he gave the last command.

He stared at his Pokemon who was still biting on the leg of his opponent and shouted loudly as tears began to gather in his eyes.

”Luxio! …..You can let him go now!!”

Luxio who was suffering from unbelievable pain as wounds covered his whole body opened his mouth as he let go of the Rampardos who was now unconscious, covered in equally horrifying wounds.

The referee who was staring angrily at the two Pokemon saw the movement from Luxio while Rampardos laid there silently and shouted loudly,

”Rampardos is unable to battle. Luxio wins! The winner is Saad from Sandgem Town”

Rocky who was on the other side of the ground stared at the injured Pokemon as the veins began to appear on his forehead. He clenched his fist as he began to move towards Saad who was standing there like a robot with tears in his eyes. He quickly approached him and raised his hand as he slapped Saad on his face.

”You are crazy…”

Rocky said with anger in his voice as he turned towards the Raults; the referee of the match as he ordered,

”What are you waiting here for? Quickly call the doctors here!!!”

Raults who was equally angry by the brutal result of the last clash jolted as he replied,

”Yes Sir, I will bring them now”

After finishing his words he ran outside the arena towards the emergency medical centre in the mountain leaving Saad who was running towards Luxio with his red face and Rocky who was carrying Rampardos in his arms.

Saad quickly approached Luxio and muttered as he wailed,

”Sorry….I am sorry”

Luxio who was laying down on the ground silently opened his eyes as he stared at his Trainer who was crying over his head. He slightly raised his paws as he let out a low voice,

”Lux…..io”

Saad stared at his Pokemon and after listening to his words began to cry loudly.

Rocky stared at the crying Saad and sighed silently as he rubbed his hair.

”Gym battles are friendly duels, not life and death battles. It is okay to be passionate but remember your constraints.”

Saad whose face was covered in snot and tears nodded slightly as he muttered,

”Uhm...I am ….am sorry.”

Rocky expression turned soft lightly after hearing him and began to pat his Rampardos head slightly in the hope to comfort his pain.

...…

After a while, Raults came back with doctors as they began to look after the Pokemon. They performed the first aid and sent the Pokemon to the Pokemon Center leaving Saad and Rocky behind.

Saad wanted to go but Rocky stopped him as he called him to his office saying that they need to talk. Saad was reluctant but under the angry look from Rocky, he accepted as both moved towards the office after entrusting the doctors with the other Pokemon too.
