Hello everybody and welcome to my new story, Ash vs Tobias (My Version!)
I just wished that Ash fought a guy from Unova so Ash would be tempted to go there, just like in the Johto Region with Harisson.

Note: It's hard to have a pokemon use 4 moves. TOO LIMITED. So you'll find some pokemon use 5-6 moves.

Anyway Peace!- Btr100

Chapter 1: The Dark Prince vs The Fighting Bug!

Anime Version!

Pikachu's and Latios' Volt Tail and Luster Purge collided, creating a huge explosion that almost knocked Tobias and Ash off their feet. Once the smoke cleared, it revealed an unconscious Pikachu and Latios.

"Both Pikachu and Latios are unable to battle! But seeing that Ash is out of available pokemon, the winner is Tobias!" the referee declared. Ash ran over to his injured Pikachu, cradling him in his arms.

After sharing a handshake with Tobias, Ash and his friends watch Tobias win the Sinnoh League.

My Version!

Ash and Pikachu were in the semi-finals of the Sinnoh League facing off against Tobias, the trainer with a nearly undefeatable Darkrai! The battle was in a grass battlefield in a full-six-on-six battle!

For the trainers' first pokemon...

Tobias merely tossed a pokeball and out of it was a floating pokemon with a dark black body, with blue eyes and a red 'scarf' around its neck. It was the Dark-type legendary member of the Lunar duo, Darkrai.

"And there's Darkrai...Heracross! I choose you!" Ash exclaimed as he threw his pokeball and out of it was a bug with a large horn protruding from its forehead. Heracross's image then appeared on the screen.

Dawn pulled out her pokedex to scan Heracross. "Heracross. The Single Horn Pokémon. This bug-type has an immense strength but prefers peace over violence." the pokedex beeped.

"With a Bug and Fighting type, Heracross has an advantage! Let's hope he goes well." said Brock.

"Heracross! Megahorn attack!" Ash commanded. Heracross' horn glowed red white and charged at Darkrai, before smashing its horn on Darkrai, sending it a few meters back. "And Heracross easily lands a super effective Megahorn on Darkrai!" the MC said.

"Now Focus Blast!"/"Darkrai! Ice Beam!" both trainers commanded. Heracross cupped its hands and formed a blue orb of energy before firing it, while Darkrai cupped its hands together and fired a freezing bolt of energy. Both attacks collided and caused an explosion at the center of the field.

"Looks like Heracross' Focus Blast was countered by Ice Beam, and they proved to be equal in power!" the MC said.

"Alright Heracross! Focus Punch while the smoke's still up!" Ash commanded. Both of Heracross' arms glowed light blue and it flew towards the smoke. On Tobias' side of the field, Darkrai and its trainer didn't notice Heracross until the said bug type appeared in front of Darkrai and punched it with its glowing arms, sending Darkrai back. The smoke then cleared.

"Looks like the collision has made Darkrai vulnerable for the super-effective Focus Punch!" the Mc said.

"Now Heracross! Megahorn, let's go!" Ash commanded. Heracross' horn glowed white red and it flew at the Pitch-Black pokemon. "Not this time. Darkrai, Ice Beam on the horn!" Tobias commanded. Darkrai once again fired a freezing bolt of energy. The freezing beam managed to hit Heracross' horn and froze it solid, making Heracross fall into the grass, thanks to the heavy weight of the frozen horn.

"Darkrai! Dark Pulse! Go!" Darkrai then fired a purple beam of circles and it managed to hit Heracross, sending the bug type flying, but its horn thawed out of the ice. Heracross then crashed into the ground. "Heracross! Are you okay?" asked Ash. Heracross stood before responding with a "Heracroh!"

"Okay, Hyper Beam!"/"Dark Pulse!" both trainers commanded. Heracross' horn glowed orange and it fired a massive orange beam of energy, while Darkrai fired another purple beam of circles from its hands. The attacks collided and caused an explosion which cleared rather quickly.

"Darkrai! Ascend, then use Dark Void!" Tobias yelled. Darkrai rose higher into the sky before firing a dark ball. It then engulfed Heracross and Heracross slumped into the ground, sleeping.

"Trouble for Ash, Heracross is fast asleep by Darkrai's Dark Void!" the MC said.

"This is bad.." Dawn said with worry. "Don't worry, Ash was prepared for this." Brock said.

"Looks like the strategy i used at my battle with Nando would come in handy now, Heracross, Sleep Talk!" Ash yelled. Heracross, still asleep, stood up and its entire body glowed white for a moment. But after that, Tobias unleashed a deadly attack. "Darkrai, finish it with Dream Eater." Tobias said with a bored expression.

Darkrai's eyes glowed red, and it fired an afterimage of itself. It managed to hit Heracross, but surprisingly, Heracross was still standing although asleep!

"Out of pure luck for Ash, Sleep Talk has activated Endure! A move that makes the user survive any attack but leaves them with a bare amount of health!" the MC said. Tobias gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Awesome Heracross! Sleep Talk once more!" Ash said, determination and confidence in his voice. This time, the random move was Focus Blast, and Heracross fired it at Darkrai and it managed to hit, sending Darkrai flying back a few meters.

"Now Sleep Talk, one last time!/"Darkrai! Dream Eater!" both trainers commanded. Heracross' horn glowed orange and it fired an orange beam of massive energy while Darkrai's eyes flashed red and it fired an afterimage of itself. The attacks went past trough each other and Hyper Beam managed to hit Darkrai, sending Darkrai land to the ground with a THUD! but it managed to float back up, albeit with difficulty.

But before Dream Eater could hit, Heracross' eyes opened and the afterimage went right through it. "Herah? Heh! Heh! Heh!" Heracross grunted as if it were chuckling at Tobias' failure.

"Another lucky moment for Ash, Heracross has awoken before Dream Eater could even hit!" the MC said.

"Heracross! We have to finish this now, Megahorn!" Ash commanded. Heracross' horn glowed white red and it flew towards Darkrai, before smashing its horn at Darkrai.

"Darkrai! Shadow Claw!" Tobias shouted. Darkrai's arm glowed purple and extended before slashing it at Heracross, sending the bug type flying.

"Heracross! Focus Blast!" Ash shouted. Heracross cupped its hands together and fired a blue orb of energy at Darkrai and it managed to score a direct hit. "Now Heracross! Finish this with Hyper Beam!" Ash shouted. "Darkrai! Dark Pulse to counter!" Tobias shouted. Darkrai then fired a beam of purple circles.
The attacks collided, but Hyper Beam easily overpowered the Dark Pulse and engulfed Darkrai, sending the legendary Dark-type crashing into the grass, causing dust to fly.

Once the dust cleared, Darkrai's blue eyes were replaced by swirls.
"Darkrai is unable to battle! Heracross wins!" the referee declared. Darkrai's image then became a silhouette, indicating its defeat.

"Darkrai is down and out! Ladies and Gentlemen, for the first time in the Lily of the Valley Conference, Tobias' Darkrai has been defeated in battle!" the MC said. Tobias merely returned his Darkrai back to its pokeball.

"Hooray! Ash is doing it! He defeated Darkrai!" Dawn cheered. "Ash! If you mess this up, your so fined!" Barry shouted. "But don't forget, Tobias has 5 pokemon left. Who knows what kind of pokemon Tobias has?" Brock said.

"Ash. I must say no one has ever defeated my Darkrai before. I must say I find your strategy a little overwhelming." Tobias said. "That's because i have great pokemon. Isn't that right Heracross?" Ash asked to his pokemon. "Croh!" Heracross grunted as it did a flexing pose. "But it's not yet over. Go!" Tobias said, tossing a pokeball high into the sky. And out of it was a floating dragon with a blue and white body and a red triangle on its chest. It was the legendary dragon, Latios.

As Latios was released from its pokeball, it did a mid-air spin, flew around Heracross, before floating back to its spot. Latios' image then appeared on the screen.

"Latios. Tobias has two legendaries? Okay so Heracross' Bug type moves is super-effective on Latios' Psychic type, but that puts Fighting Types out of the list. So, Heracross! Megahorn!" Ash yelled. "Counter with Giga Impact!" Tobias yelled.

Heracross' horn glowed white red and flew at Latios while Latios charged at Heracross with purple aura and yellow swirls surrounding his body. Heracross and Latios collided with their attacks, but it was Heracross who was sent flying into the grass.

"Latios! Luster Purge!" Tobias yelled. Latios formed a pink ball in its mouth and fired a purple beam from it. As Heracross was struggling to stand, Luster Purge engulfed it and was sent flying into the stadium wall, causing dust to fly. When the dust cleared, it showed a knocked out Heracross with spirals in its eyes.

"Heracross is unable to battle! Latios wins!" declared the referee. Heracross' image then turned into a silhouette, indicating his defeat. "And Latios ends his battle with Heracross with a devastating Luster Purge attack!" the MC said.

"Heracross, take a long rest. I'll promise you a tree of sap after this." said Ash as he returned Heracross. "An aerial fight it is. Swellow! I choose you!" Ash exclaimed as he sent out his flying type from the Hoenn Region. Swellow's image then made its appearance in the scoreboard.

"Sweeelooowww!"/"Cooooh!" both pokemon yelled out as they stared at each other's eyes.

"Swellow! Quick Attack!"/"Latios! Giga Impact!" both trainers commanded. Swellow charged at Latios with incredible speed and a white trail behind it, while Latios charged at Swellow with purple aura and yellow swirls around it.
