Prologue:
He's done it!
A large dust cloud formed within the giant arena. Pokémon fans were screaming and cheering, friends were hanging on to their seats (or in May's case, biting their nails) and the two trainers on the field were sweating with the effort of battling and standing under the hot sun for the past hour.
On one side of the field was a young woman with beautiful blond hair, blue eyes and some sort of black ribbon in each side of her hair. She looked into the dust cloud nervously; her opponent was far stronger than anyone had anticipated.
On the other side of the field was a boy of the mere age of fourteen. He wore a blue vest, black T-shirt, faded blue jeans and his ever present green fingerless gloves and red and black baseball cap with a blue poke ball insignia in the middle. He stood there, determination burning in his eyes as he waited to see the outcome of that last battle. The boy's name was Ash.
The dust cleared, revealing a knocked out Garchomp and a very beat up looking Sceptile.
"Way to go Garchomp, you did well." Cynthia comforted her fainted Pokémon as she returned her to her poke ball, Ash doing the same for Sceptile. It was obvious that Sceptile would not last in another battle, so his picture darkened on the score board along with Garchomp.
Ash still had three of his six Pokémon left and was waiting in anticipation for Cynthia to call out her last Pokémon.
"Congratulations Ash, you are one of the few people who actually made me so desperate that I had to call on my last resort!" The Champion whistled the very loud ascending notes into the open sky and the stadium was met with a sight most would never see live again. A twenty foot long serpent descended from the clouds, roaring and twisting around, showing off its immense power.
"Meet Rayquaza, an old friend of mine." Cynthia said loudly, microphones off to the side catching what she said and conveying it throughout the stadium.
Ash smirked, slightly putting Cynthia off. "Two can play at that game!" He now grinned fully, releasing a black and yellow poke ball into the air. It burst open to reveal a small, red and white dragon with a sleek, jet-like body.
"Latias, show them whose boss!" The enthusiastic trainer shouted.
"Extremespeed!" The Sinnoh Champion commanded.
Most people believed Ash to be immensely dense and prone to acting instinctively and so most thought that he battled without strategy. At the start of his journey, he HAD battled solely on instinct, but over the years, Ash had developed a style of battling few could replicate, let alone execute effectively. He battled instinctively, quick on his feet and his mind always planning a few steps ahead, like a very fast-paced and dangerous chess game. This showed through first when he thought ahead, months before even battling Cynthia and knowing that there was a possibility she would send out Rayquaza. He knew that few of his Pokémon could hold a stand against it, let alone injure it sufficiently, so he paid a visit to the city of Altomere and asked Latias if she wanted to travel and train with him for a while.
Over the months of training with the jet Pokémon, they developed a method of communication through thought, making it much easier to battle. Using this, Ash sent a mental image of what he wanted Latias to do in this situation… and she understood perfectly.
Cynthia stood erect and calm with no emotion on her striking face, but even from across the battlefield Ash could see her eyes wavering with worry and her hands tightly clutching the edges of her long sleeves. She was losing her patience and wanted to end this quickly.
For a few second nothing happened. Latias' eyes were closed in concentration. She was listening to the patterns of the wind. Then, sensing something, she floated a few inches higher in the air and twisted onto her side.
An angry roar echoed throughout the now deathly quiet stadium. On the jumbo screen, they could still see the fur on Latias' underbelly ruffling from the intense rush of air that had passed by her.
"Again!" Cynthia yelled. Ash noticed her clench her teeth and growl. The giant Pokémon once again became a green blur and disappeared. Latias dodged by a hair again. This process repeated twice more when suddenly, both Ash and Latias' eyes snapped open and Ash yelled NOW!
Rayquaza had become slower and more sluggish in his movements, so that now Ash could still slightly see the green blur as it moved. The jet Pokémon dropped to near the dirt floor of the stadium and shot back up again in the matter of a second. She grabbed onto the underside of the passing Rayquaza, right under his massive jaw and hung there, stunning the Pokémon, the Champion and everyone else in the stadium.
Desperate not to lose so badly to a fourteen year old boy, Cynthia made a desperate move.
"Grab it!" She called out to Rayquaza. Rayquaza grabbed the Jet Pokémon and held her in front of its face.
"Hyper Beam!" Rayquaza opened its maw to charge the massive beam of energy… and fell straight into Ash's trap!
"Dragon Pulse!" A ball of pure violet energy shot from Latias' closed mouth and straight into Rayquaza's open one, just as he fired the full power hyper beam!
Ash sent a red beam at the injured Latias before she could slam into the wall of the stadium, knowing full well that she was knocked out. He smiled sadly at the pokéball and thanked Latias for her effort. His plan was successful. Rayquaza had used the Hyper beam and would need to recharge, plus would be blinded for a while.
"All right, let's finish this! Totodile, I choose you! Use Rain dance!" Totodile immediately emerged from the ball and began dancing uncoordinatedly in circles. Rain clouds began to form above the battle field and Totodile stopped completing the move.
"Return!" Ash yelled, returning the Pokémon to his ball, confusing everyone by his actions. Ash looked over at Pikachu standing beside him and nodded slightly. The yellow mouse leaped off of his shoulder and ran onto the field just as Rayquaza recovered from its previous hyper beam.
Rayquaza, use dragon rush!" The ozone Pokémon growled spun in midair… and slammed head first into the dirt over fifty meters away from Pikachu. Some people in the crowd gasped along with the surprised Champion.
"What-" Ash cut her off and explained to her and everyone in the stadium.
"Before, when Rayquaza hit Latias with the hyper beam, her dragon pulse hit him square in the face, not only damaging him, but blinding him momentarily from the burst of white hot energy when it exploded" Ash was grinning madly now, as it had started to pour, soaking everything and everyone in the stadium.
"Now Pikachu, USE THUNDER TAIL!" Ash bellowed at the top his lungs.
"Is he-" Misty began, watching the battle from the stands.
"Using a-" May continued with a shocked expression plastered to her face.
"Combo move!" Dawn finished, equally as shocked as Ash's other female traveling companions.
Max snorted, "I didn't think he had it in him!"
May smacked her younger brothers arm, "Ash is a VERY capable Pokémon trainer Max!"
Max smirked, "Look at you May, defending you Boyfriend!"Max jeered at his sister.
"Shut up!" She flicked the side of his head, but her cheeks were a light shade of pink as she did. Misty and Dawn seemed to notice this and giggled towards each other.
"Now Max, stop teasing your sister, but May, he IS right, Ash seems to be full of surprises." Brock commented ending the argument.
A massive CHUUUUU! Turned their attention back to the battle field as they watched Pikachu send a powerful thunder into the clouds above.
The entire stadium watched in awe as the clouds conducted the bolt causing flashes to illuminate the field below in bursts. Pikachu began to run at the dizzy Rayquaza and Stuck his tail straight into the air. His tail was gleaming silver and the metal acted like a lightning rod in the storm. All the electricity that the clouds gad multiplied formed into one massive lightning bolt and was blasted straight into Pikachu's waiting tail, making him look like a light bulb. The power from the thunder attack was so powerful that Pikachu's entire body was surrounded by an electric blue aura, and focusing that energy into his tail, he continued gaining speed.
Pikachu was now running so fast that he would have put Ash's Sceptile to shame. Rayquaza finally recovered and lifted its head a few feet off of the ground, only for it to be slammed back into the ground with such force that it created a crater and caused the entire length of his body to lash back like a whip.
Pikachu had jumped and spun in midair and slammed its super-charged tail straight into the massive Pokémon's forehead.
After the dust cloud had settled, the stadium roared in applause at the little electric mouse, who sat panting on the knocked out legendary's head with a huge smile on his face. Ash grinned and began to sprint towards his best friend, just as Pikachu did the same. The two met in the middle of the field, Ash sliding on his knees and Pikachu leaping into his outstretched arms. Ash hugged him tightly as he whispered over and over again. We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it!
On the other end of the field Cynthia had finished applying a full restore to Rayquaza's wounds.
"Thank you old friend." She told him as she rubbed the front of his head. "You can go now." She smiled sadly at the Pokémon as it ascended into the dispersing rain clouds and returned to its home rejoin of Hoenn. She walked over to where Ash was hugging Pikachu and was surrounded by his other Pokémon, including the injured Infernape and Buizel. His Pokémon are amazing, that little Buizel alone took care of my first two Pokémon, and his Infernape made a close combat battle with Lucario look like Child's play!
She smiled. "Congratulations Ash! That was an amazing battle! Where did you come up with that attack that Pikachu used?" She asked him, wanting to learn the technique. He was about to respond when he was hit from behind by a green and brown blur.
"Ash!" Cried Cynthia slightly worried. She stopped when she heard the boy laughing. He was being hugged by a girl wearing a green bandana and her hair styled to stick straight out on both ends of her head. She wore a red sleeveless vest with a pair of fingerless gloves, much like Ash's, a white T-shirt and glossy black short-shorts. She was followed by another girl, this one with fiery red hair up in a side ponytail, a yellow tank top with red suspenders and short worn blue jeans. Next to her was a girl with long blue hair, a short pink vest, black shirt and a VERY short pink mini-skirt. Holding her hand was a boy with deep blue hair, rectangular glasses, a green T-shirt and brown shorts. Walking slowly behind them was an older boy with spiky brown hair, a green vest with a brown shirt and brown jeans.
Ash was enveloped in a hug by all three girls with Max dancing around him while yelling excitedly. Brock felt a giant urge to flirt with the Champion, but didn't ruin the moment for Ash's sake.
Mr. Goodshow, the Pokémon president, walked up to the group. All three girls backed away slightly to let the president talk to Ash, but Cynthia noticed that the girl with the bandana stayed slightly closer to Ash than the other two.
"Congrats' Ash!" A voice yelled from behind the group before Mr. Goodshow could speak. A rounded man with sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt walked up to Ash and shook his hand, acknowledging the president with a slight nod and receiving the same in response.
"You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!" The man Scott was then pushed aside slightly as Mr. Goodshow intervened and lifted Ash's hand high into the air.
"I am proud to present Ashton Ketchum, Winner of the Sinnoh league and, at the mere age of fourteen, officially the youngest Pokémon Master in history!"
The crowd went wild!
Whoah! This was six pages! I'm finally done the prologue! I would enjoy some reviews and even criticism, just no hate flames please!
If anyone can guess who the boyxboy relationship will be and guesses at least five of the couples I have in mind… well, you won't get anything, but it would be pretty cool!
I'm not sure if this was kind of long for a prologue, but I thought it was…ok.
