Let Make Vol.2 Of Our Romance Manga

Paxton and Taunie are waiting in the lobby of Hotel Z. They called the taxi about half an hour ago, so it should be here any minute. Paxton has been eyeing the white bag Taunie has the whole time. He finally decides to ask.

"What's in the bag," he asks, curiosity taking over.

Taunie smiles. "You'll find out after our date."

Paxton is about to push for more, but there is a "beep" outside. The cab has arrived! The two of them leave the hotel, and when they get to the car the man looks annoyed.

"To Restaurant Le Wow, please," Paxton says as they enter the car. The driver doesn't do anything. Instead, he just stares at the two of them.

"You're Paxton, right," he asks. "The up and rising new trainer?"

"Um, I guess," Paxton responds. He always forgets that he's well known.

"Good. I've been wanting a battle but everyone that's gotten in has had cash. We're gonna battle," the driver states.

"But we have money," Taunie exclaims. The guy scoffs and rolls his eyes.

"Don't care," he snaps back. "I want a battle. No fight no drive."

"I guess we can battle," Paxton says, getting back out of the car. The man chuckles as he does the same.

"If you have to," Taunie says with a sigh, following the other two. "Make it quick, though. I've waited too long for tonight!"

Once a decent distance away from one another, they pull out a PokeBall. "This is a one-on-one," the driver shouts.

Paxton nods. "Not a problem!"

The two guys send out their Pokémon. Paxton is using Feraligatr and the man sends out a Beartic. The two Pokémon roar powerfully, each trying to intimidate the other.

"Let's go, Slash," the cabbie commands, throwing his fist out. Beartic starts dashing at Feraligatr, claws extended.

"Breaking Swipes," Paxton shout. Feraligatr's tail glows as it swings it at the Beartic, who counters it with the Slash. The two Pokémon are at a temporary stand still as they push against each other. After a bit, they both end up getting knocked back.

"Get back in there, Ice Punch," yells the guy. Beartic pushes off the ground, fist clench and frozen.

"Meet it with Crunch," Paxton responds, swiping his arm through the air. Feraligatr leaps forward. Beartic throws its fist out, right into Feraligatr's open mouth. Feraligatr chomps down, locking its jaw. The Beartic tries to escape but to know avail, causing the driver to panic. "End it now! Superpower!"

At Paxton's command Feraligatr yanks its head back, pulling in the Beartic. It releases Ice type and quickly strikes it with its palm before it can dodge. The Beartic howls as it's sent flying back. When it hits the ground it's unconscious.

The man stands still, staring at his Pokémon with disbelief. Then, he starts laughing. "Yeah, kid! That's what I needed! Great battle."

Paxton smiles. "Yeah, you too!"

"Great! Y'all fought," Taunie exclaims, her annoyance evident. "Can we go now?"

"Of coarse," the guy says happily, going back to his car. "To Restaurant Le Wow!"

"Thank you," Taunie says with a sigh, getting into the vehicle, Paxton following. The car hums as it starts up. They pull off and drive to their date.

Alright, so this is right before the date scene

Not what you asked for, but I thought of it and thought it might be a nice addition

For the Side Quest in Wild Zone Two, I'm thinking it will be an Alpha Gyrados on the loose

I need to know what other Pokémon Paxton should have on his team for that part

I just know that he cannonly has Feraligatr because he's always shown with Totodile in advertisement
