Just a random idea I came up with that made me wish I was an animator, lol. But fanfictions work too.

As the airplane's door slid open, a girl stepped through it, putting her hand over her eyes to block the bright sunlight and admire the landscape around her. As she grinned proudly, her large, bluish-black hairdo began to rustle before splitting apart, revealing a tiny Dragon Pokémon inside of it: an Axew.

"We're finally here, Axew!" the girl cheered. "The Hoenn region!"

This girl was Iris: an aspiring Dragon Master from Unova who had recently decided to head to the Hoenn region with her Pokémon partners. She now took her first few steps closer to her destination as she made her way down the stairs.

Just behind her, another girl emerged at the airplane door, similarly holding her hand over her eyes. Behind her stood her fox-like Pokémon partner, Braixen. This was Serena, an aspiring Pokémon Performer-turned-Coordinator.

"We made it, Braixen," Serena smiled nervously, stepping through the door. "We're in Ho-eeeeeeeek!" Before she could finish her first statement, her foot slipped unexpectedly off of the top step, sending her tumbling headfirst down the stairs and into Iris as Braixen watched anxiously. "Ow," Serena muttered, rubbing her head as she picked her hat off of the ground and tried to stand up.

"Hey, watch where you're going," Iris complained a few feet away as she tried to knock the dirt out of her hair. Axew had managed to see Serena tumbling towards them and was perched on the handrail on the stairs.

"I'm sorry!" Serena apologized profusely, back on her feet. "I was distracted looking around, and I didn't see-"

"You know what?" Iris interrupted, still a bit upset. "I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!"

"You cha- what?" Serena asked.

"You heard me!" The Dragon-lover's anger was slowly dying away in favor of excitement. "Let's do this!"

"Um… okay," Serena agreed reluctantly. By this point, Braixen and Axew had made it back to their trainers' sides.

"It'll be a three-on-three. Both sides can switch out any time, and the first side to defeat all three Pokémon wins!" After setting the terms, Iris pulled out a Poké Ball. "Gabite! Go!" she shouted, hurling the Poké Ball. The Pokémon called for leapt out of it, posing as Serena reached for her Pokédex.

"A Dragon/Ground-type," Serena observed as she read the Pokédex entry.

"That's right!" Iris confirmed. "Dragon-types are my specialty."

Think, Serena, Serena thought to herself. What would Ash do? …I know! "Sylveon! I choose you!" Sylveon was released from her Poké Ball, landing gracefully a few feet away from Gabite.

"A Fairy-type," Iris nodded. "Good choice! Mind if I take the first move?"

"Thank you. Go ahead!"

Iris grinned as she and Gabite made eye contact. "Gabite! Use Iron Head!"

"Iron Head?" Serena gasped as Gabite began to glow before rushing headfirst into Sylveon, sending the Intertwining Pokémon stumbling backwards.

"You really think I wouldn't teach my Pokémon a move to counter their biggest weakness?" Iris asked teasingly.

Focus, Serena. Don't panic, Serena mentally calmed herself. "Sylveon, use Fairy- …oh no!" Before Serena could get the command out, Gabite had dove underground using Dig. Refusing to let it throw her, Serena quickly changed the command to, "Keep an eye on the ground! It'll be shifting where Gabite is about to come up!" Sylveon followed the command, skillfully leaping out of the way when Gabite emerged.

"Now! Use Fairy Wind!" Still in the air, Sylveon let out a gust of sparkly air, which struck Gabite with a surprising amount of force, knocking the Cave Pokémon on its back and unconscious. "We did it!" Serena cheered.

"Nice work," Iris remarked as she returned Gabite to its Poké Ball. "But I still have two Pokémon left. Come on out, Excadrill!"

A Ground- and Steel-type… That puts them at the advantage this time, Serena noted mentally.

"Excadrill, use Drill Run!" Iris commanded. Quickly obeying, the Subterrene Pokémon began to rapidly spin his body, charging towards Sylveon.

"Sylveon, use Protect!" Serena shouted. Sylveon quickly surrounded herself with a green shield, which stopped Excadrill before his drill-like body could damage the Intertwining Pokémon. Excadrill landed a few feet away after bouncing off of the shield. "Now use Swift!"

Excadrill futilely attempted to dodge the stars launched by Sylveon as they flew at him. Once the last star had collided, Iris shouted, "Use Focus Blast!"

Focus Blast? Serena questioned. But Fighting-type moves aren't effective on Fairy-types… "Sylveon, dodge it!" Serena called as the light blue ball came speeding towards her Pokémon, who quickly leaped into the air over it.

Iris grinned proudly. "Just like I planned. Use Metal Claw!" Serena gasped as she realized that Sylveon's dodge had landed her right next to Excadrill, whose claws glowed before slashing the Intertwining Pokémon, knocking her away.

"Sylveon!" Serena shouted, running to her companion, who had fainted. She sighed before calling her back into her Poké Ball. "Pancham, your turn!" she shouted, releasing her Playful Pokémon to battle.

"Excadrill, come back!" Iris called almost immediately after, bringing Excadrill back into its Poké Ball.

Of course she would switch him out, Serena thought disappointedly. Pancham is a Fighting-type, which is super effective against Excadrill. So who else does she have?

As if she was reading Serena's mind, Iris smiled. "Go! Dragonite!" she shouted, sending out her team powerhouse. Serena and Pancham both looked terrified. "Use Ice Beam!"

The Dragon Pokémon took flight before releasing a freezing blast from its mouth. "Dodge, Pancham!" Serena cried desperately as the small Pokémon rolled out of the way.

"Flamethrower!" Iris commanded, and Dragonite immediately obeyed. With nowhere to run from the large stream of fire, Pancham had no choice but to take it head-on, falling to his knee once the attack ended.

"Are you okay?" Serena asked worriedly. Pancham stood back up and called out an affirmative response. "Okay, get it out of the sky with Stone Edge!" The Playful Pokémon slammed the ground, summoning a line of jagged rocks that sped towards Dragonite, the last one tall enough to slam into his stomach, throwing him off balance and into the ground. "Now Arm Thrust!" Pancham charged towards Dragonite, his arm glowing.

"Dragonite, get up and use Thunder Punch!" Iris shouted. As Dragonite leaped to his feet, his fist was surrounded by electricity.

We ran right into her trap, Serena realized. "Get out of there, Pancham!" Pancham skidded to a halt and attempted to turn around, only for Dragonite to release the Thunder Punch into his back, sending the small Pokémon flying towards Serena. After landing, he slowly got back to his feet, growling in determination. "Pancham, are you sure you can continue?" Serena questioned. Without even responding, Pancham charged towards the once again airborne Dragonite, leaping into the air and landing a shockingly powerful uppercut, sending Dragonite crashing back to the ground again.

"What was that?" Serena gasped.

"It looks like your Pancham just learned Sky Uppercut," Iris remarked in response.

Pancham grinned proudly. "That's amazing!" Serena remarked. "Quick, before Dragonite can recover! Use Stone Edge again!"

Following orders, the Playful Pokémon slammed the ground and summoned more jagged rocks. "Jump, Dragonite!" Iris shouted. The Dragon-type Pokémon barely made it off the ground, being struck by the tip of one of the tips of the rocks, which almost knocked him back out of the sky again. "Use Flamethrower!" Knowing that Pancham was too close to dodge, Serena winced as Dragonite spewed flames at his opponent, and despite his best efforts Pancham was unable to stand the damage he received and soon fell over, knocked out.

"Pancham, return!" Serena sighed. "You fought very well."

"No kidding!" Iris agreed. "It takes a powerful Pokémon to last that long against so many hard hits. And he did quite a bit of damage to my Dragonite. But now you only have one Pokémon left. Who will it be?"

Serena turned around to look where Braixen had been watching the entire battle. Understanding, Braixen gave a small nod before rushing to the battlefield. "Come on Braixen, we can take them! Use Fire Blast!"

Braixen chirped in agreement before swinging its stick around, creating a blast of fire that crashed into Dragonite, who was knocked back a little but managed to remain airborne. "Dragonite, use Dragon Rush!"

The Dragon Pokémon began glowing blue before diving out of the sky towards Braixen. "Dodge, Braixen!" Braxien quickly rolled out of the way, causing Dragonite to crash into the ground. "Now use Hidden Power!" Before Dragonite could recover, Braixen formed a light blue ball of energy in her hands and flung it at him, which sent him flying even further across the ground and knocked him unconscious.

"Come back, Dragonite," Iris sighed, disappointed that her powerhouse had fallen. "Excadrill, you're up!" She hurled a Poké Ball, releasing Excadrill once more. Excadrill and Braixen eyed each other, waiting to hear a command.

Excadrill is weak to Fire-type moves, Serena mused. But Braixen is weak to the Ground-type. All hits will be super effective. It's anyone's battle. "Braixen, use Flamethrower!"

Braixen responded quickly, jumping into the air and releasing a stream of fire from her stick.

"Dodge with Dig!" Iris shouted, and Excadrill disappeared into the ground just before the fire could hit him.

"Not Dig again," Serena moaned to herself. Last time we got lucky and were able to see Gabite coming. But it won't be so easy this time… Serena's eyes suddenly fell on the hole Excadrill had left behind. That's it! "Braixen, use Fire Blast into the tunnel!"

"What?!" Iris gasped as Braixen fired the flames down the tunnel. "Get out of there, Excadrill!" she cried desperately. Seconds later, Excadrill emerged from another hole, burning fire right behind him, dealing a lot of damage. "Drill Run, now!"

The Subterrene Pokémon spun rapidly before rushing Braixen, knocking her back. As Braixen got back to her feet, the two Pokémon caught each others' eyes once more, admiration of each other's power on their face.

Braixen and Excadrill are both wiped out. This could be the final hit. We just have to land it first. "Braixen, use Fire Blast!"

"Excadrill, Drill Run!"

The nervousness was tangible as Braixen and Excadrill charged each other, preparing their attacks. But before either could land, they were interrupted by a shout of, "Excuse me, ladies." Both Pokémon came to a halt as Serena and Iris turned their attention to an airport worker.

"Would you please pick up your luggage and get out of the way of the other passengers?" he asked politely. Serena and Iris suddenly realized that their battle had been blocking the exit to the airplane.

"Of course!" "Sorry sir." "We'll get out of your way right now."

I think I'll go with that for my introduction to the plot. Mostly because I want to get to work on my Animal Crossing story (if you are a fan of Animal Crossing, please go read that, too! Actually, just read all of my fanfictions. That'd be great.) I'll try to actually update this regularly maybe. Haha doubtful.
