Chapter 2 – Just Warm up
Both great trainers stood now meters apart on a battle field with Oak in-between as the judge. Darren picked a pokeball of his belt.
"Just start with Persian, go" throwing his pokeball and a glitter of black dust Persian pounced onto the field.
"normal type huh" Ash thought to himself as he made his choice " Donphan make a move" Ash threw his pokeball making his large Donphan appeared from a roll.
"Charge in with rollout" Ash called causing his Donphan to curl into a ball and fire at Persian.
"Dodge and use Shadow ball" Darren called just in time. Persian leaped to the side easily avoiding the attack and fired a black ball from his mouth causing an explosion as it hit Donphan.
As the sand was settling Darren pierced the field for Donphan and Persian.
"Keep an eye out Persian" Darren shouted from behind the sand.
"Donphan we can still attack with magnitude" and with that Darren could feel the ground near him shake and cracks appearing.
As the sand cleared away Darren found Persian losing its balance and fall has the Donphan pounded away at the floor.
"Now's our chance Donphan rollout again" Ash commanded as the Persian fell.
Donphan as a boulder hurled towards Persian. "Stay still Persian" Darren called and Persian stood its ground. "Now protect" just as Donphan came close to Persian, from Persian's black gem a dark circular force field covered him completely smashing Donphan causing him to stumble back wards onto the floor.
"Shadow ball" Persian lifted its head gaining a black ball growing quickly in his mouth. With a swipe of his head Persian streamed the shadow ball at Donphan with a critical hit.
"Donphan return" Ash said looking happy.
"Why are you smiling"? Darren asked as they both returned their pokemon. "Out of the last few challenges I've had recently you're the first to defeat my first pokemon in battle" Ash announced still smiling.
"Anyway, let's keep battling. Next up…" Ash skimmed his finger over his pokeballs and came to a stop picking it up.
"Swellow" throwing his pokeball a dash of blue and red appeared bursting in circles.
"That's fast" Darren said to him self as his head zipped around to keep up with the flying pokemon. "Ok then I'll choose Electabuzz" from the pokeball a yellow flash filled the sky making Electabuzz appearing tensing his muscles.
"Dive in with wing attack" Ash shouted out quickly. Swellow opened its wings causing them to glow and flew at Electabuzz.
"Attack with Thunder" with a cry of his name Electabuzz fired out a huge blast of thunder at Swellow.
Swellow was struck and crashed to the floor. "Swellow return" Ash said in a rush "I wish I had Donphan now" Ash said with anger "ok Sceptile go" he threw his pokeball revealing a huge green pokemon.
"Run in with Thunder punch" Darren shouted instantly.
Electabuzz's fist smashed into Sceptiles face. "Counter with leaf blade"
With the leaves on his arms Sceptile struck Electabuzz sending him flying into the air.
"That's strong" Darren cried.
"Now bullet seed" Sceptile fired green seeds at Electabuzz with great speed. Hitting Electabuzz in mid air.
"Swift attack" Darren shouted as his pokemon came down. Before Electabuzz landed starts shot at Sceptile.
"Stop it with Bullet seed" the two attacks cancelled one another out making once more another explosion.
"Electabuzz" Darren shouts into the cloud of dust "Use thunder but don't aim just fire it all around you"
From where Darren was he could see it turning yellow, then suddenly he was blow off his feet when the thunder was struck.
The dust cleared leaving a exhausted Electabuzz and inured Sceptile.
Staring at his Sceptile Ash knew the power of Electabuzz since a thunder could weaken Sceptile even though it wasn't that effective against grass types.
"Sceptile keep going just one more attack" Ash encouraged "Same to you Electabuzz only one more will do it" copied Darren.
"Leaf storm" Ash shouted out, Sceptile also shouted out causing leaves to spin around him like a hurricane. Suddenly the leaves burst out at Electabuzz in the form of a twister.
"Light screen" Darren cried as the leaves were about to hit. The leaves bounced off the screen. Electabuzz grew tired as he kept up the wall. As the last leaf vanished Darren gave his next command.
"One last thunder that's all we need". Electabuzz tightened his fists. A few sparks flew from his skin. "Keep going you can do it" encouraged Darren.
More sparks appeared, then they turned to streaks and bolts then a large group formed and headed towards Sceptile.
"I know your tired Sceptile but I need you to use Bullet seed to break up the thunder"
Sceptile gave it his most and fired the weak bullet seeds. Both attacks collided. The bullets struck through the thunder and carried on to Electabuzz.
Both pokemon got hit and fell to the floor.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle" Claimed Oak on the side lines.
"You did great Sceptile" said Ash as he return him. "I'm proud of you Electabuzz" said Darren placing Electabuzz's ball on his belt.
"I'll go first this round" shouted Darren throwing a pokeball. From a puff of smoke his Lucario shoot out doing a high kick and staring at Ash.
"Wow that looks strong" Ash was amazed by the look of Lucario "But I think Floatzel can handle it" Ash threw another pokeball. With a splash of water Floatzel snarled and was ready for battle.
Please R+R
Next time – Can Lucario show Darren that it is top dog? Will Darren have what it takes to beat Ash, and when will Ash use Pikachu.
