Sinnoh League Final Battle
Round 2: Putting Out the Fire
"You did great Torterra, take a good rest." said Ash, before replacing the pokéball to his belt and taking another. He held it up and examined it.
"It's been a while since we have battled together. That's entirely my fault, but I know that you won't let me down now…"
He threw the pokéball "I choose you, Kingler."
The red and white pokéball snapped open and a huge, orange crab appeared.
"Ookie Kookie." it growled.
"And Ash is going with Kingler." announced the match commentator "Will the type advantage give Ash the edge? Or is Magmortar about to roast a crab?"
"Hey, I didn't know Ash had a Kingler." said Barry.
"Yeah, it's been with him a while." said Brock "But they haven't battled together in a long time. I hope that won't affect Kingler's performance."
"No need to worry." said Dawn "Ash wouldn't have chosen Kingler for this battle if he didn't feel it was up to it."
Down on the battlefield, the battle got going once more.
"Magmortar, Flamethrower." commanded Jacob.
"Mortar." Magmortar raised his cannon-like arm and sent a massive plume of fire towards Kingler.
"Kingler, put that fire out with Brine." instructed Ash.
"Kookie" Kingler raised his larger claw and opened it. From within came a powerful stream of water which Kingler aimed at the incoming flames, putting them out.
"Now Mud Shot." said Ash.
Kingler swung his claws and several large globs of mud raced across the battlefield to slam into Magmortar.
"Magmortar, Overheat."
Magmortar aimed both his arms at Kingler as his body became surrounded by a fiery glow. Two powerful plumes of white hot fire tore towards Kingler.
"Brine." commanded Ash again.
Once more Kingler used Brine to douse the flames, but was not successful in deflecting the whole attack as was still scorched.
"Alright, Magmortar, now use Hyper Beam."
"Oh no you don't! Kingler, you use your Hyper Beam too!"
At the end of one of Magmortar's cannon-like arms, a ball of orange light began to form. Another formed within Kingler's open claw.
Both Pokémon unleashed their attacks at the same time, and the powerful beams of highly destructive energy collided with full force in the centre of the battlefield resulting in a massive explosion that threw both Pokémon back.
"Let's see a Fire Blast." yelled Jacob.
"Use Brine again Kingler." shouted Ash.
Magmortar unleashed a blast of flame in the shape of a star that sailed across the battlefield towards Kingler as the crab-like Pokémon opened his giant claw and sent another powerful stream of water from it. The water struck the Fire Blast in the center and for a few moments the battlefield was covered in a mist, which Ash used to his advantage.
"Kingler, Crabhammer."
For a moment nothing seemed to happen, and then Kingler leapt from the mist and struck Magmortar square on the head with his massive, glowing claw.
Magmortar reeled from the attack, and Ash took the opportunity.
"Kingler, Brine!"
At close range, Kingler's water attack caught Magmortar in the neck. The fire type was hurled through the air to land with a crash behind his trainer.
The referee raised his flag and announced "Magmortar is unable to battle; Kingler wins."
"Yeah, great job Kingler." Ash shouted to his Pokémon.
"Ookie Koockie." said Kingler in acknowledgement.
Jacob held up Magmortar's pokéball and the large fire type vanished inside.
After shoving Magmortar's pokéball into his pocket, Jacob grabbed another,
"Go Granbull."
Resembling some kind of big pink bulldog, the long-fanged Granbull appeared on the battlefield with a roar.
Dawn examined the new Pokémon with her Pokédex.
Granbull, the Fairy Pokémon. The evolved form of Snubbull. Granbull has extreme fighting power due to its heavily muscled jaw and its strong teeth and tusks.
"Looks tough." observed Barry.
"Ash will be great." said Dawn, confidently.
"You got this Kingler?" asked Ash of his Pokémon.
"Kookie." responded Kingler, snapping his claws threateningly.
"Alright then, Kingler use Crabhammer!"
Kingler jumped into the air, his massive claw glowing.
"Counter with Ice Punch." shouted Jacob.
Granbull leapt at Kingler, his paw surrounded by freezing energy.
Crabhammer and Ice Punch met in the middle, and both Pokémon began pushing against each other in a battle of strength.
"Hyper Beam." yelled Ash.
Kingler's massive claw opened and an orb of vicious energy formed within and was unleashed as a beam at Granbull for a devastating, close range blow. Granbull was thrown through the air and before tumbling across the ground.
"Now use Brine." commanded Ash and Kingler quickly sent a powerful stream of water at Granbull.
"Dodge it and then use Hidden Power." instructed Jacob.
Instantly Granbull rolled to the side, avoiding the water attack. Then its body took on a bluish hue and twelve small orbs quickly surrounded it. Each of these orbs flew towards Kingler, smashing into his body; each one flashing with a green energy as it hit.
"Would you look at that?" shouted the match commentator "Granbull's Hidden Power attack is of the grass type, a serious disadvantage for Kingler.
Ash snatched up Kingler's pokéball and recalled his Pokémon before any more damage could be done. "Good job Kingler. You've fought well."
He took another pokéball.
"Tauros, you're up!"
In a flash of light the large brown Wild Bull Pokémon appeared on the battlefield, bellowing aggressively.
"This'll be easy." said Jacob "Granbull, use Take Down."
"Tauros, you use your Take Down too." commanded Ash.
Both Pokémon charged and crashed into one another, but it was Granbull who was sent flying.
"Now Stone Edge, just like I taught you." called Ash.
With a bellow, Tauros' body became surrounded by white glowing orbs. These orbs quickly became rocks that hurtled through the air towards the opponent.
Granbull was struck, and struck hard. When it hit the ground, it did not get up.
"Granbull is unable to battle. Tauros wins."
"You did great Tauros." Ash called out to his Pokémon.
Tauros bellowed and pounded the ground with his hoof, eager for more.
"Ash is really pulling off an impressive lead." observed Barry.
"That could change yet." responded Brock "It happened this way against Tobias, remember?"
"Piplup." said Dawn's little blue Penguin Pokémon, sagely.
"You're doing surprisingly well, I'll give you that," said Jacob as he recalled Granbull to its pokéball "But that ends now! Go!"
He threw the pokéball.
A/N: And I'll stop things there. I know I'm not updating this as fast as 'Ash versus Tobias: Redone', but I already had most of that written before I posted it. I will try to be quicker though. I hope the wait was worth it.
See ya!
