Kalos Conference Final, Lumiose City

"Garchomp, use Earthquake! We have to finish this fast!" shouted a 17 year old raven-haired trainer with a Pikachu on his shoulder.

The battlefield started to shake violently, visibly affecting his opponent.

"Shake it off, Gardevoir!" Its time, the gray-haired trainer thought. "Mega evolve, now!". She tossed a stone at Gardevoir, and immediately it underwent a change in appearance. Its facial spikes grew larger in size, its gown grew longer and wider in appearance, and now has two horns on its chest instead of one.

"Gardevoir!"

"Don't let that intimidate you, Garchomp! Close in with Aerial Ace and then use Poison Jab , now!" his trainer ordered.

"Gaaaaar!" Garchomp leaped into the air and shot towards Gardevoir with speed, as its claws made a fist and turned purple.

"Moonblast, Gardevoir!"

As Garchomp closed in, Gardevoir charged a pink blob of energy, and quickly hurled it at the speeding dragon.

"Hang in there, Garchomp, now GO!"

Gardevoir managed to release the pink attack just as Garchomp barely made contact with Poison Jab. Garchomp was launched violently towards the wall, while Gardevoir somewhat struggled as it skidded backwards due to the direct hit.

After the smoke cleared, Garchomp was left with swirls in its eyes. However, Gardevoir was not in perfect condition either after taking a super effective Poison Jab, no matter how light, and an earlier Earthquake.

"Garchomp is unable to battle, this round goes to Diantha and Gardevoir!" the referee announced.

"Garchomp, return." A red laser shot out of the Pokeball, sucking in the fainted dragon. His fists started to clench. He knew he was facing an uphill battle with a mega evolved Pokemon. Even though his last Pokemon had yet to make an appearance, he was uncertain if he could match the power of mega evolution.

Pikachu somehow noticed this dilemma inside Ash's head and his tensed up expression. "Pikapi, pika pikachu!" Pikachu reassured its trainer, who was tired after its run in the battle, where he managed to knock out Diantha's Hawlucha, only to fall to her Tyrantrum.

"You're right, Pikachu! I have the be more confident in my own Pokemon, and my abilities! I'm sorry I even thought about doubting myself, and you." He looked down at his last Pokeball. "We're going to win this, I promise."

"Pika!"

"I have to say, Ash, you are really giving me a run for my money! Your Garchomp managed to hang in and gave my Gardevoir a parting gift despite the eventual type disadvantage. I'm really excited at the prospect of battling your last Pokemon." Diantha shouted over to the raven-haired trainer.

"Thanks, Diantha! Even though you have an advantage with a mega evolved Pokemon, we will never give up until the very end!"

"That's all I ask for from any trainer. Now send out your last Pokemon and let's give it our all." Diantha said.

"Alright, go Greninja!" Ash threw his Pokeball, revealing a blue and yellow frog with his tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf.


"Folks, this looks to be a promising showdown between Gardevoir and Greninja. Both trainers are down to their last Pokemon, with the title of Kalos Champion on the line!" exclaimed Charles Goodshow on the microphone.

"You can do it, Ash!" Clemont and Bonnie screamed on top of their lungs.

"Knock 'em dead, Ash!" Serena also shouted.


"Battle, begin!" the referee said.

"Greninja, start this off with a Hydro Pump!" Ash told his Pokemon.

Greninja launched a huge volume of water straight at Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, use Thunderbolt."

Gardevoir launched a bolt of electricity and intercepted the Hydro Pump, both attacks colliding and neutralizing each other.

"Now, use Water Shuriken!" Ash ordered.

Greninja materialized ninja stars made of water and hurled them towards his opponent.

"Use Psychic on those stars." Diantha calmly said.

As the stars closed in on Gardevoir, her eyes glowed, instantly stopping the stars before making contact.

"Now send them back towards Greninja." Diantha told Gardevoir.

Before Greninja and Ash could react, the ninja stars came back their way, continously striking and pelting Greninja with every blow.

"Don't let up, Gardevoir, Thunderbolt now.", Diantha again calmly said.

A yellow electrical wave was launched straight at Greninja. If the attack hit, Greninja and Ash would be in a world of trouble.

"Greninja, dodge with Shadow Sneak!" Ash frantically said.

Due to the remnants of the failed Water Shuriken, Greninja struggled, but barely managed to avoid the Thunderbolt by turning itself into its own shadow and slipping away from its path.

"Let's end this now, Greninja, and use Ice Beam!" Ash said.

A wave of ice formed from Greninja's mouth, and it fired at Gardevoir.

"Counter with Moonblast, Gardevoir, and then use Psychic."

Again, the battle between special attacks makes no headway, as both Moonblast and Ice Beam cancelled each other out in a mini explosion. However, Gardevoir used that small distraction to take control of Greninja. Greninja was lifted into the air against its own will.

"Now toss it against the wall."

Just like that, Greninja flew from the air straight towards the wall.

"Greninja, no!" Ash gasped.

"I think we'll be the ones to end this, Ash. You've put up a great fight, but this ends now. Gardevoir, full power Thunderbolt!"

As Greninja struggled to get up, Gardevoir charged a massive beam of electricity. They were going for it all with this Thunderbolt, that it could even rival a Thunder attack.


"Oh no, if Greninja doesn't get up it's over!", Serena exclaimed.

"They're charging up that Thunderbolt like there's no tomorrow, plus it's a super effective attack. It almost looks like an actual Electric-type charging up a Thunderbolt. This definitely doesn't look good.", Clemont added, however his thoughts drifted to something else. "Hey, maybe after this match I can ask Gardevoir to help me power some of my inventions in the future! She could be a great part of it, after all the future is now, thanks to-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence!" Bonnie blew up anime-style, clearly annoyed. "Come on Greninja, snap out of it!", she shouted.


"Greninja, please, you've got to get up! I believe in you, you can overcome this!", Ash pleaded. Upon hearing this, Greninja suddenly jumped into the air, tired but confident nonetheless.

"That's the spirit, Greninja! Let's win this, use Shadow Sneak to get close and then Water Shuriken, don't let up!" Ash ordered his faithful Pokemon.

Greninja materialized into a shadow just milliseconds before Gardevoir could connect with Thunderbolt. Suddenly Greninja appeared behind Gardevoir. Gardevoir started to get punished by multiple stars launched at its back, repeatedly striking it.

"Gardevoir, no!" Diantha now slightly unnerved. "Use Psychic quickly!"

Once again, Gardevoir barely managed to get a hold on the stars before she was damaged too much and without needing to be told by Diantha, was preparing to send the stars back towards Greninja.

"Greninja, you know what to do now. Hydro Pump!"

As the stars started coming back towards Greninja, Greninja launched water from its mouth and started spinning, using the counter shield of water to keep itself safe from the stars.

"Now Ice Beam!" Ash practically screamed.

Due to the proximity between the two Pokemon created by Shadow Sneak, Gardevoir had no time to react as Greninja quickly fired a beam of ice. The move got its desired results, as Gardevoir was frozen solid.

"Now Hydro Pump, now we will finish this!" Ash said.

The current Kalos champion could only stare helplessly as Greninja launched a huge volume of water at the frozen Gardevoir, breaking the ice and sending Gardevoir against the wall violently.

In the end, it was too much for Gardevoir, who had swirls in its eyes, as the combined attacks from Greninja and Garchomp beforehand took its toll.

"Gardevoir is unable to battle, Greninja wins, which means victory goes to Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!" the referee announced.

"AMAZING, Ash beat the odds, overcoming many challenges including a mega evolved Pokemon, never mind the CHAMPION's mega evolved pokemon, and succeeded in his goal! Ladies and gentlemen, your new Kalos champion, Ash Ketchum!" Goodshow cried out.


And that's the end of Chapter 1. Mainly a battle scene (obviously), I made sure that Ash and his Pokemon were definitely Elite 4 worthy, but not completely overpowered where his Pokemon basically one-shot everything like some of the fics on here. But (!) being a Champion and everything... it will now elevate his skills considerably, battles won't be as even as they are in the anime, and skill gaps will be noticeable. That'll be the tone in terms of battling for the rest of this story.

Pokemon Ash used in this battle: Pikachu, Garchomp, Greninja, Charizard (unmentioned), Sceptile (unmentioned), Blastoise (unmentioned).

I figured I needed to pull out Ash's OP squad to finally make him win a league.

Just as a heads-up, May will probably not make an appearance until at least late Chapter 3, but definitely by Chapter 4 (Ash just became a Champion, no need to rush yet! :P). That doesn't mean she won't be referenced/mentioned though. Please be patient, thanks yous!

Dont forget to review! Chapter 2 will be up in the next day or two!
