First Experience: Part 2, Spinirak vs. Spearow

Just for needed facts, I've been working with two other people on this. I won't give their names, but I need to at least say that this isn't a lone work of mine. Part 2:

Ky looked on in awe as he saw a full-grown Pidgeotto fly towards Falkner, a belt of Pokeballs wrapped around it. Ky was always amazed at the size and grace of Falkner's Pokemon, and how he always took such great care of them, in and out of battle. Ky looked again at Natu and thought, "I'm sure that I can make you just as strong. That'll be my first goal." When Ky's eyes returned to the arena, he saw a Pokeball's burst of light, forming into a Spearow. "One of his newer Pokemon, I see," Ky muttered. "If I were that person, I'd send out the Larvitar. It'll stand a better chance against a Bird Pokemon.

To Ky's surprise though, the trainer's Spinarak jumped out. "Hm, he must be pretty confident to do that," Ky said, again returning to the railing, watching and figuring what this trainer's strategy might be.

The Spearow quickly dived at the Spinarak, beak pointed threateningly. As a counter, the Spinarak blasted a string of sticky silk, entangling the Spearow on the way down and stopping it just short of where the Spinarak stood. "Wow, that Spinarak must've trained hard to have captured something moving that fast!" Ky exclaimed, impressed.

Suddenly, a bright, colorful ray shot out of the Spearow's mouth, striking the Spinarak at an extremely short range, almost painful to watch. Even Natu cringed. When the light faded away, the Spinirak appeared near the edge of the field, burned badly but standing firm. Ky looked on, surprised by the attack but also by the Spinirak's endurance. "That was too perfect. Such a powerful move," Ky sighed.

The Spinirak returned with a volley of poisonous needles, all of them striking the prone Spearow. After the volley though, the stringy binds instantly broke apart as the Spearow spread its wings and soared into the air. Its speed drastically increased in the air to the point where it was hard to see. Again, the Spearow came down at the Spinirak, looking to use its aquired velocity for a devastating attack. It appeared that the Spinirak was ready with some kind of counter, standing on its front legs, but the connection didn't seem to be dampened in the slightest. The impact made the Spinirak fly backwards, landing near its trainer, obviously knocked out cold. Ky sighed, thinking about how hard it must be to be a trainer and how he would have to suffer, knowing that his Pokemon would be taking hits just like what he saw. He looked at Natu and wondered whether he was thinking about facing such attacks. Ky gathered nothing from him though, finding the same expressionless stare, directed at the match in front of them. Ky sighed again and returned to the match himself.

This time, the trainer's Larvitar jumped out, a very determined look on its face, mimicking that of the trainer's. Falkner's Spearow, having returned to him for some rest, again flew into the air towards the Larvitar, eyes fixed. The Larvitar looked back at it, seeming to be reading for its next move. Spearow then unleashed the same bright ray as before, its path heading quickly towards the Larvitar. Amazingly, the Larvitar dodged it unscathed. Suddenly, the air began to look darker beyond the protective glass of the bleachers, filling with rapidly swirling minerals and making it almost impossible to view. Ky was disappointed that the Sand Storm was keeping him from seeing the battle, but inside he could imagine that things were going to get much tougher for Falkner, whose Spearow was now trapped in the very winds that guided its attacks.
