A/N: As the description says, this is a two chapter one-shot story. I'm mainly using this story as a means to kill my writers block on Chaos Kingdom Hearts (if you have no idea what that is, it's my other story that is still incomplete after more than a year). Ash's opponent is my own original character that uses the team I used in SoulSilver to beat Red (Ash's game counterpart). I thought it would be fun to have my team face against what I believe would be Ash's best team, and that is how this story came to be. If you like my character, I am considering writing a fic with him as the main character (after i finish CKH), so let me know what you think of this. Sorry for the long note... Enjoy! Pokemon is owned by Nintendo by the way.

The Championship Match

Part I

The stadium was filled to the brim by the time the announcer's voice boomed over the PA. Many had been there hours before, while others were frantically trying to find their seats. They didn't want to miss this battle.

"Welcome, one and all, to the final round of the Frontier Exhibition Tournament! For those of you watching at home, we're here at the Battle Dome in Hoenn, bringing you live footage of this exciting event!

"This is it, the final event! Sixty-Four trainers entered this tournament with high hopes, but four days and sixty-two battles later, there are only two!" The crowd cheered as the announcer paused. "Who will win? Who will lose? We will find out in minutes! Our first competitor is walking out now; here he is, Ash Ketchum!"

In the middle of the stadium was a rectangular field, with a line down the middle dividing each side into two squares and a large pokeball design in the center. There were large doors on each short side of the field, and from one of these was where the trainer was emerging. He wore a blue tee shirt under a vest that was blue at the top and white at the bottom and had a yellow zipper. He had black cargo pants and red sneakers. His black hair was pressed under his red cap that was white at the front and had a blue pokeball insignia. There was a Pikachu on his left shoulder.

As he walked out, waving, the announcer called out information about him. "Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, is no guest to this battle frontier, having defeated every brain here before traveling to Sinnoh on his next adventure. He also finished within the top sixteen in the leagues of the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh leagues. He has battled tirelessly for the past four days, with his trusted Pikachu at his side. In the previous rounds, where trainers were only allowed three Pokemon, we've seen his Pikachu, Torterra and Gliscor fight their way to the final round, and now he will add three more Pokemon to this list against his final opponent, and here he comes!"

As Ash stepped into his square on the battle field, the second trainer stepped out from the other end. He wore a red tee shirt under a black jacket with the collar up. He had black hair, covered by a plain black baseball cap. He wore blue jeans with black steel-toe boots with metal around the toe and the soles.

"Jacob Drake, from Blackthorn City, has not been seen very much outside of Johto, where he has competed in numerous league tournaments. He managed to make it all the way to the final round of the Silver Conference two years ago, but narrowly lost. He was then challenged by Johto league champion Lance, mainly because he was eager to face a trainer from his hometown who had come so far. The battle was spectacular, and, though Lance emerged victorious, Jacob became a regional champion in the hearts of many who watched. He has traveled through Kanto and Hoenn briefly, but never competed in their tournaments. He currently trains back in Blackthorn where he intends to challenge the next Silver Conference. We've seen him blow away the competition with his Typhlosion, Dewgong and Electivire, and now he faces his final opponent. Ladies and Gentlemen, I guarantee you an excellent battle!"

The crowd cheered in a thunderous applause as the two trainers met in the center of the field. Ash held out his hand, "I'm sure we'll have a fun battle. Best of luck!"

Jacob half-smiled and shook Ash's hand, "Agreed." The two turned around and took their positions, while once again the crowd cheered.

"Trainers, are you ready?" Both trainers nodded, "Chosen by random drawing, Ash will send out the first Pokemon. Let the battle begin!"

The crowd continued to cheer enthusiastically as Ash pulled his first pokeball from his belt. "I heard you were tough," he started, "So I made a few calls and took a night trip back home to get just the right Pokemon to take you on. Here's an old friend for you. Pidgeot, I choose you!" he shouted as he threw his pokeball. When it opened, the large bird Pokemon that was a little taller than Ash stood proudly. It opened its wings and called proudly, making its presence known to the awed audience. "Hey, Pidgeot, ya excited to be in battle again?" Ash asked the second Pokemon he ever caught. Pidgeot turned his head back to Ash and nodded happily.

"A Pidgeot, huh?" Jacob smirked, "that's pretty cool. Let's see how long he lasts!" He pulled out a pokeball from his belt and called his first Pokemon out to battle. "Let's go, Electivire!" His Pokeball opened up to reveal the electric humanoid Pokemon.

"Electivire, let's end this quickly! Use Thunder!" Electivire charged a massive amount of electricity in its body, then launched it at Pidgeot.

"Don't celebrate just yet, Pidgeot has speed on his side! Fly up and dodge the attack!" the bird Pokemon pumped its wings downward, lifting it off the ground and barely avoiding Electivire's attack. "Now, use Whirlwind!" Pidgeot flapped its wings at Electivire, creating a powerful torrent of wind, knocking the electric Pokemon all the way back to a wall.

"It's going to take a lot more than that to take down my Electivire! Use Thunder again!" Jacob called to his Pokemon, who fired a powerful bolt of electricity at Pidgeot.

"Dodge it, and use Wing Attack!"

Pidgeot pumped its wings again and was narrowly missed by another Thunder attack. It then rose in the air even more, and dove at a high speed, aiming directly at Electivire.

"Don't let him hit you, keep using Thunder!" Electivire fired numerous bolts of electricity at Pidgeot, but the bird Pokemon's speed was too much, and none of the attacks made contact.

Pidgeot rammed his wing into Electivire, who was knocked into the air, and landed on his back. Despite the hard hit, Electivire quickly got up and sent sparks from his two tails, indicating he was ready for another go.

Jacob thought for a second, and then realized what he had to do. "Let's see your Pidgeot dodge this one! Electivire, Shock Wave!" Electivire put his hands together, and slowly pulled them apart. A ball of electrical energy formed between his hands and grew as his hands went farther apart. When the orb of energy was half as large as Electivire, he quickly clapped his hands into it, sending the electricity into himself. He thrust his arms out to both sides, and all of the electricity exploded out of him in every direction. The electric explosion grew rapidly, and there was no way Pidgeot could avoid being zapped.

The intense amount of electricity was too much for Pidgeot, and the great bird Pokemon plummeted to the ground, causing a large crash.

"Pidgeot! You can do it! Fly up again!" Ash called out to his Pokemon, who was extending his wings again.

"Quick, Electivire, use Thunder before he can fly back up!" Jacob ordered, and his Pokemon responded with a massive attack, scoring a direct hit on the grounded Pidgeot. The bird screeched as the Thunder attack surged through its body. When the attack stopped, Pidgeot fell to the ground.

"Pidgeot is unable to battle," the referee on the side of the battlefield called, while holding a flag to Jacob's side of the field, "the winner is Electivire!"

The crowd cheered loudly as Ash recalled his friend, "You did an amazing job, Pidgeot. You deserve a rest." He then looked at Jacob, "You have a really strong Electivire there. It may be even stronger than Paul's. Maybe you should be battling him instead of me." Ash smiled as he pulled out another pokeball from his belt, "But for now, let's continue the battle. Torterra, I choose you!"

The giant turtle Pokemon emerged from his pokeball with a bang, and the audience roared in excitement.

"A grass type, huh? Well then, this should be fun!" Jacob smiled as he looked at his Pokemon, "Alright Electivire, I think it's time for a surprise. Use Ice Punch!"

Electivre started running towards Torterra, holding up his right fist, which glowed white. But despite the surprise attack, Ash held his composure, "Don't let him hit you Torterra! Use Leaf storm!"

Before Electivire could even come close to Torterra, the turtle fired a massive blast of wind and razor sharp leaves at the electric Pokemon, who was blown all the way back to his own side.

"Now, Torterra, finish him off with Earthquake!" Ash shouted triumphantly. Torterra pressed onto the ground with his front legs, pushing himself into the air. He paused for a moment while only on his hind legs, and then slammed them into the ground with an incredible force. The impact created a giant shock wave that cracked the ground in every direction. The attack strongly smashed into Electivire, who was thrown into the air by the force. He crashed back into the ground headfirst, and immediately could not get up.

"Electivire is unable to battle, the winner is Torterra!" The referee called, holding a flag to Ash's side.

"What a battle so far, ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer's voice boomed for the first time since the battle started, "After a strong victory over Pidgeot, Jacob's Electivire was taken down easily by Ash's monstrous Torterra! I don't see this great Pokemon going down any time soon!"

"We'll see about that," Jacob said, recalling his fainted Pokemon. "You did great," He said to his Pokemon, and pulled out another pokeball. "Your turn, Typhlosion!" He threw his next pokeball and out came the fire type Johto starter.

"Or maybe we will," the announcer said moments later, "Jacob has called out his Typhlosion! With a type advantage like this, who knows what will happen?"

"Typhlosion, use Flamethrower!" Jacob shouted. The fire pokemon opened its mouth and launched a beam of intense flames, aimed directly at Torterra. The turtle was too slow to dodge the attack, and the super effective attack made contact right on Torterra's head. The giant turtle winced in pain.

"Torterra!" Ash shouted at his Pokemon, but when the attack subsided, Torterra simply lifted his head high as if nothing had happened. Ash smiled, "Great! What Torterra lacks in speed, he gets in his defense. Now, use Stone Edge as a counter shield, and don't let him attack again!" On Ash's command, Torterra slammed into the ground, causing dozens of jagged rocks to fly in the air. They levitated in the air and soon started circling Torterra.

"Typhlosion, stay away from those rocks, and use Flamethrower again!" Jacob called. His Pokemon used the same attack, but instead the jagged rocks grouped together in front of the attack, and deflected the flames away from their controller. They then resumed their circle. "That's tricky," Jacob muttered, "Typholosion! Use Quick Attack to get up close, and make sure you dodge those rocks!"

Typhlosion got on all fours and sprinted toward Torterra. Jacob's Pokemon swerved left, right, ducked and jumped to dodge every rock, until he finally made it through the Stone Edge ring.

"Now, Eruption!" He shouted, and fired an intense fiery blast at Torterra. At close range, the blast engulfed Torterra in flame. However, the move was short lived, as the Stone Edge attack, still under Torterra's control, aimed every stone at Typhlosion, and pummeled him away from the turtle Pokemon.

"Torterra, use Earthquake again!" Ash called out as his Pokemon did the same attack that defeated Electivire. Typhlosion was too weak from the Stone Edge attack, and couldn't evade the massive Earthquake. When the shock wave hit him, Typhlosion flew into the air, much like Jacob's previous Pokemon, and the end result was the same.

"Typhlosion is unable to battle, Torterra is the winner!"

The crowd roared at the unexpected victory, as Jacob recalled another Pokemon and Ash cheered and congratulated his Torterra on such a great job.

"Wow!" the announcer cheered, getting into the action a little too much himself, "What an unexpected turn of events! Despite a type disadvantage, Ash's Torterra was able to last through two powerful head-on fire type attacks, and defeat Jacob's Typhlosion! Unbelievable! This Torterra is unstoppable!"

"You did your best Typhlosion. That's all I could ask for," Jacob consoled his Pokemon as he put the pokeball away. "You've trained your Torterra well, Ash. I've never seen Typhlosion lose to a grass type before! But I wonder how much more damage your Torterra can take. Dewgong, let's find out!"

"Dew gong gong!" the Pokemon happily called as it emerged from its pokeball.

"Dewgong, use Torterra's weakness to your advantage! Use Ice Beam!"

The seel Pokemon lifted its head and charged a light blue sphere in its mouth. It then jolted its head forward and fired a powerful beam from the sphere at Torterra.

"Torterra, use Stone Edge for defense!" Ash ordered. Once again the jagged stones rose from the ground and created a shield to defend Ash's Pokemon from the beam.

"Dewgong, use Surf to get close, then try again with Ice Beam!"

Water seemed to apper from out of nowhere around the Dewgong's body, and the Pokemon rode the water and slammed into Torterra. Once again, the hit seemed to do nothing. Dewgong then used the impact of Surf to bounce into the air and fired another Ice Beam. Moments before the attack would have hit, Torterra's Stone Edge blocked the attack again.

"Great Torterra! Now, Leaf Storm, while Dewgong is still in the air!" Ash called out excitedly.

Torterra fired a blast of wind and leaves at the airborne Dewgong, smashing into Jacob's Pokemon and sending it flying.

"Dewgong, No!" Jacob cried out, but that didn't stop Dewgong's hard collision with the ground. When the dust from the impact cleared, Dewgong could be seen struggling, but standing. The battle was still on.

"Finish Dewgong off, Torterra! Frenzy Plant!" Ash yelled, pointing at Dewgong.

Torterra's slammed his forelegs into the ground, similar to what he did for Earthquake, but this time dozens of giant, thorned roots emerged from the ground and rose into the air. They all paused for a second before lashing themselves down at Dewgong. They crashed into the Pokemon with such force that the ground crumbled underneath, creating another dust cloud.

Everyone watched as the dust cloud slowly faded. Dewgong wasn't standing again by the time it did.

"Dewgong is unable to battle, Torterra is the winner!"

Ash couldn't resist running up and hugging his Pokemon after another victory. The crowd cheered louder than ever as the announcer was expressing his own excitement, "I cannot believe this! I can NOT believe this! Ash's Torterra has single-handedly defeated the entirety of Jacob's preliminary team! This could be the strongest Torterra I've ever seen in my life!" He then softly added as a side note, "Then again, in Hoenn, we don't see many Torterra." He brought his volume back up for his next statement, "It seems the winner of this match may be clear, but Jacob has three more Pokemon that none of us have seen yet. This could still be anybody's match!"

Jacob thanked his Dewgong for a good effort, closed his eyes and smiled.

"What are you so happy about?" Ash joked at Jacob.

"Well," Jacob chuckled, "if we were in the prelims, you would have beaten me with just one Pokemon. But this is the final round." He opened his eyes and gave a determined, yet excited smile, and pulled out his next pokeball, "You think you've won, but it only gets tougher from here!"
