Vol. 2 Chapter 72: Prehistoric Battle Arena pt1

Anabel didn't feel any pain, nor did she think she was dead, but she was positive that a massive building had just fallen on her.

"Umm, Anabel? You can open your eyes now..." Lusamine's voice said, and Anabel felt a hand touch her shoulder.

Opening her eyes, Anabel found herself in a massive arena that had stands going around it, and the ceiling was at least a 100 feet above her head. There was a field between her and a group of four prehistoric Pokémon, and in front of her was a massive 50 foot tall screen with a countdown that was at twenty seconds.

"What is this place?" Anabel asked as she stood up, and looked around at the stands she was in.

"This is Nemona's stadium, and it seals in the area, but more importantly, it mimics Prisma. This means that we are a lot stronger while inside of it. It's her own personal Battle Box, and has many uses, but for right now, it's just going to keep the Pokémon from running around. Nemona is a powerful trainer, and even though she is young, she is quite skilled. I actually feel bad for the Pokémon, even though Nemona only uses fire energy."

"What is Prisma? The place you live?"

"You'll find out later. For now, we need to pay attention," Lusamine said, and grabbed the woman's arm, pulling her to the seats.

"Five, four, three, two, one, and Fight!" a male announcer voice shouted, and the screen flashed green before a timer started to count down.

"What was that?" Anabel asked, and looked at Lusamine, but the woman didn't look over.

Below, Nemona was hopping back and forth, shaking her arms as she pumped herself up for the fight. This was more than she could have ever dreamed of, and she planned to enjoy every moment of it. Before gaining her new abilities, Nemona's entire life had been chalked up to her family's reputation and her supposed innate talent. She had made a great friend in Tallia, but the world didn't really change their view of her.

That had bothered her, but now Landon had given her something new, and that was all her own. Comments and previous actions from others were now mute. They no longer had any impact on her life or her happiness. She was finally her own person, and the best part was, her friend could now share this amazing journey with her.

"Come on, Nomi! Make them burn!" Grusha shouted, and pumped a fist.

The last Archeops look at Nemona with fear, and tried to run back to where the Tyrantrum, but when it did the Tyrantrum opened its mouth and then took the Pokémon inside. It closed its mouth, and then bit down, and the sound of bones snapping could be heard as it swallowed the smaller Pokémon.

Silence fell over the arena, and Nemona stared in shock at the Pokémon before the Tyrantrum's eyes locked onto her, and the beast let out a deafening roar that forced her back a few feet.

"Wow, I didn't expect that! That was unexpected!" Nemona exclaimed, and then grinned as the flames around her fists doubled in size. "But that is also exactly what I wanted! This is a real Pokémon Battle! No holding back! Real battle where your life's on the line!"

Nemona's form became nothing but a streak of flames that shot towards the massive Pokémon. As soon as she was within range, the Tyrantrum lashed out with its claws, but the flames around her hands grew, and formed into a pair of dragon claws, allowing her to block. The strength behind the attack was insane, and Nemona was thrown back.

She righted herself, and then flew at the beast. She threw a punch, but the Tyrantrum's teeth bit down, and blocked the attack, and the dragon claws. Nemona let the flames vanish, and then the 12 stars circling her body all fired at the same time, forcing the Pokémon back.

"Wow, that was close, but it is so much fun!" Nemona said, and the 12 orbs stopped firing, and then started to circle around her body.

Tyrantrum rushed in, and Nemona waited for it, but when it got close, the beast opened its mouth. Inside, a swirling ball of red and black flames formed, and then the Pokémon shot the fireball out.

"Holy crap!" Nemona exclaimed, and then her orbs shot forward, creating a shield that blocked the blast.

The attack forced Nemona back, but she held the shield until the blast faded. The Tyrantrum let out a snort, and then started to charge at her, and Nemona felt her body heat up even more.

"Alright, let's end this!" Nemona said, and the stars stopped circling, and then turned into flames.

Nemona's body was enveloped, and her flames turned from orange, to red, and then blue before shooting into the air.

"I'm going to end this with my full power!" Nemona said, and then her body started to fall.
