TJ and Spinelli were getting ready to start their Johto League battle and gave each other competive looks. Their referee for the battle was Principal Prickly. Alright, you two, I want a nice clean battle and remember that this battle is only for keeps. You two will be given one of your six pokemon to use and you have no time limit. Your battle will begin when you step forward to start. said Principal Prickly I have been prepared for this moment for a long time. said TJ As have i. said Spinelli Begin! said Principal Prickly, raising his flag to signal the beginning of the battle. Venonat! Go! said TJ, tossing a Pokeball. A plump furry purple insect pokemon with giant red eyes stood ready to go on the battlefield. Interesting. Steelix! Go! said Spinelli, tossing a Pokeball. A tall gray rock snake pokemon with spikes poking out from its sides stood ready to go. Steelix! Bind! said Spinelli Steelix wrapped its body around Venonat. Not to worry, Venonat can get out of this one with Poison Powder. Venonat! Poison Powder! said TJ Venonat shook its body and dry purple powder came out. Steelix lost concetration and eventually let go of Venonat. Steelix was unable to attack and continued to shudder from the effects of Poison Powder. Eventually, Steelix fell to the ground with a thud. Steelix is unable to battle. Venonat is the winner! said Principal Prickly TJ and Spinelli congratulated each other on a battle well fought.
