THE LEGENDARY WAR
PROLOGUE
With a smile, champion Ava sent out her last pokemon
"Altaria Go!"
With a glint of excitement in her eyes, Ava looked intently at the young trainer before her. It had been years since anyone had pushed her so far in battle that she had to use her last and final pokemon.
"You've fought well young trainer but I'm afraid this is as far as the road goes for you today"
"Quickly Infernape! Power up punch!"
Infernape gave a quick nod to his trainer, Raize, before jumping forward to attack Altaria.
"Escape and counter with fly Altaria"
A white glow started to emanate from Altaria and it started to rise upwards but before it could fully activate it's move, Infernape's power up punch connected solidly with it, knocking it back ten feet back. The power from the blow also caused Altaria to topple from the air.
"Are you ok Altaria?" Ava yelled
In response to her question, Altaria quickly rose up from off the ground and shook itself off. A look of determination in its eyes, it had no intention of losing this match.
"Let's take things up a notch" champion Ava exclaimed as she touched the keystone necklace she wore. As she touched it, the necklace began to glow a brilliant pink colour and in response, the mega stone which Altaria held, obscured beneath the fluff that surrounded it also began to glow.
The light from the mega stone on Altaria's chest began to expand its radius until it completely covered Altaria, blocking it from view from every angle. A few moments later the light dispersed to reveal Altaria in a completely new form, it had mega evolved. The light from Altaria's mega evolution had been so sudden and brilliant that it seemed to have Raizes' Infernape slightly dazed.
"Now, hyper voice"
"Get out of the way!" Raize shouted to Infernape as the sound waves rippled through the air from Altaria, heading straight towards Infernape.
In response, Altaria opened its mouth and released and a scream that echoed throughout the stadium. The dazed Infernape was tried to obey his trainer Raize but was still too out of it to see which way to go that instead of jumping out of the way of Altaria's attack, it ended up jumping into the move. As the attack hit it, Infernape grit its teeth together in a useless effort to attempt to endure the hyper voice but it was too hurt and exhausted from facing Ava's Braviary earlier, that it soon fell to the ground, bruised and exhausted.
"INFERNAPE IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE BATTLE!" the match referee shouted as Raize held up Infernape's pokeball and pointed it at him.
"Come on back buddy" Raize said as a red beam shot out from the ball and enveloped the now fainted Infernape, returning it to the inside of the pokeball.
Raize grit his teeth together as he held up the pokeball of the last remaining pokemon of his party whom was still able to fight, Raichu.
"Let's win this Shocker" Raize said as he threw the pokeball, releasing Raichu onto the field.
Now that it was mega evolved, Ava's Altaria was a dragon/fairy type which gained it two new weaknesses, one of them being steel. His Raichu had iron tail in its arsenal which could be his game changer here but, like his Infernape, Raichu was still exhausted from an earlier fight.
"Let them hear our cry of victory one more time Altaria, hyper voice!"
"Shocker, use dig to get out of the way"
Although the faster of the two, Raichu's exhaustion from recent battles caused it's movements to be slightly sluggish so it barely managed to escape into the ground from the oncoming attack.
With how exhausted Shocker was, Raize needed to get this battle over with quickly, the longer it played out the more likely it was that he would lose the match.
"While we have the element of surprise on our side, use iron tail!" Raize shouted.
Shocker, burst up from the ground to the left of Altaria, a mere five feet away. Sunlight glinted off of it's now chrome coloured tail as it reached the apex of its jump, about ten feet above Altaria. It did a small back flip to position its tail to hit Altaria. The maneuverer also provided a bit more momentum for the attack, increasing the speed and velocity which would subsequently increase the power of the attack.
"Defend yourself Altaria! Cotton guard!"
The cloud like fluff that surrounded Altaria's body expanded to three times its size, cushioning the impact damage from Shockers' iron tail. Shocker made a little spin in the air as the impact from its attack sent it back away from Altaria. As he landed on his feet, Shocker looked back at Raize with a determined look in its eyes as if to say.
"Don't worry partner, we got this"
"Shocker, use rain dance"
Shocker began to perform a short little dance jig and the overhead clouds turned from white to grey in response and a light rain began to fall, wetting the surrounding area, the cheering crowd, the two pokemon and their trainers.
"Dragon pulse!" Ava cried
"Evade again with dig" Raize shouted to Shocker
Once again, Shocker narrowly managed to avoid being hit from Altaria's attack by digging underground.
"Watch the ground carefully this time Altaria and use dragon pulse on that Raichu"
"Use thunder now Shocker!"
Shocker burst up from the ground this time to the right of Altaria and started to activate it's attack but Altaria was ready for it this time and used dragon pulse. The blue beam shot from Altaria's mouth and struck Shocker dead centre in its stomach, knocking it back to the edge of the battlefield.
"SHOCKER!" Raize cried as he started to run towards him
"RAICHU IS UN-" the match referee began to say but paused mid-sentence as shocker began to unbelievably push its self back on to its feet.
"That's one tough pokemon you have there" champion Ava exclaimed with admiration.
"Shocker, are you ok? We can forfeit here, its ok"
"Rai!" Shocker cried, shaking it's head at Raize and taking a wobbly step towards Altaria.
"Ok, little buddy, let's win this!"
"Rai!"
"Use thunder"
Three of the storm clouds above the field began to converge together above Altaria and a moment later a bold of golden lightning streamed down from then heading towards Altaria.
"Protect" Ava yelled
A split second before the bolt struck it; a transparent shield speared a foot above Altaria's head, completely absorbing it.
"Don't let up Shocker! Grab on to it and use thunder again!"
Before, either Altaria or Ava could react; Shocker ran towards Altaria and made a huge leap, landing on Altaria's back and used thunder. Altaria tried to shake off Shocker but was unable to before the bolt of lightning struck it solidly.
"One more time, use thunder"
"RAI!" shocker exclaimed as it summoned another bolt of lightning from the sky, striking Altaria head on.
Altaria collapsed onto the ground and Shocker leapt away, panting heavily.
"Come on girl, we're still in this!" Ava shouted as Altaria pushed itself up off the ground.
"Let's put everything we have into this one final move and win this! Dragon pulse!"
Altaria opened its mouth to launch its dragon pulse attack at Shocker but before the move could completely activate, there was a crackle in the air and the entire area was cloaked in a shadow making it too dark to see properly. A few moments later the stadium lights turned on, obliterating the darkness. This however was only momentarily as the lights suddenly exploded shortly after turning on. Raize ran over and picked up Shocker, using his memory of the area as he had seen it when the stadium lights had been on. As if alerted to some unseen danger, the rest of the pokemon that made his team, even though they were still severely weakened and exhausted, burst forth from their poké Ball and surrounded him as if they were guarding him from something.
From the darkness of the sky, a terrifying roar rang out. Thunder boomed and lightning flashed in short burst every few seconds. As the lightning flashed, Raize was able to make out some Y shaped object. The only thing he could make out about the shape was that it was coloured red and white. It also appeared that the roars were coming from this shape. Was this a pokemon? Raize wondered to himself. Suddenly, a beam shot down from the sky and hit the stands where the audience was located. Terrified screams began to ring through the air as the beam grew and expanded whilst moving around the perimeter of the stadium. Raize wasn't sure what was going on but instincts told him that he should run.
"Come on guys!" he shouted to his pokemon as he turned and started to run away from the beam.
He had hardly taken a step, when he felt something strike him hard in the back of his head. The next thing he knew he was falling and he could feel his consciousness slipping away quickly. Before he hit the ground, Raize had completely lost consciousness.
