(italics): Pokemon thoughts
There was a bunch of exitement in the Sinnoh Stadium as the Pokemon league Finals were getting under way. On one side, Ash. On the other, Paul. They were both holding a pokeball in their hands.
"Here we are at the finals of the Sinnoh League. These two outstanding Trainers were good enough to make it here, but only one will recieve the Sinnoh Trophy. Now, bring out your first Pokemon."
Ash threw his pokeball into the air. "I choose you, Staraptor!" The pokeball opened in a flash of light, and when it died down, a large bird pokemon appeared, flapping its wings slowly. A patch of feathers on its head rose up and forward, turning red near the end. It ended just beyond the beak. Staraptor set down gently.
"Misdreavus, Stand-by." Paul threw his pokeball and watched as it opened, and a ghost pokemon emerged. The bottom looked like a dress, and it wore a red necklace of jewels.
"This'll be a six-on-six Pokemon battle. The first round is Staraptor vs. Misdreavus. Begin!"
"Staraptor, Aerial Ace!" The bird pokemon took to the skies, and used its wings to back up, before zooming toward Misdreavus.
"Misdreavus, Shock Wave!" The Ghost Pokemon quickly charged electricity, and fired it at Staraptor, striking with deadly accuracy. The Raptor Pokemon shrieked in pain as it was zapped. The attack ended and Staraptor flew around, hovering off the floor. Ash growled and looked at Paul. In the distance, a pokemon in a brown cloak looked upon the battle from above.
"Misdreavus, Mean Look!" Misdreavus glared at Staraptor, as a red aura enveloped her, then transferred to the raptor Pokemon. It couldn't escape now.
Staraptor, Brave Bird!" Staraptor flew up high, before doing a loop and flying down to the ground, in flames. It leveled out, and flew close to the ground, the flames being replaced by a blue aura. It struck Misdreavus, dealing heavy damage, a quarter of that being dealt to Staraptor as recoil damage. The two pokemon were panting. "Misdreavus, let's finish this! Shock Wave!" Misdreavus charged up the attack, then fired it.
"Staraptor, Double Team!" Staraptor flew fast enough to create mirages. The Lightning hit one of the mirages, and vanished, missing. "Staraptor, Steel Wing!" The Raptor flew at Misdreavus, and struck her with his hardened wings. The Ghost fell, unconsious.
"Misdreavus is unable to battle, Staraptor Wins." Paul recalled misdreavus. "Pathetic!" He then called another pokemon. "Arcanine, stand-by!"
Arcanine: (Ready when you are).
"Staraptor, you deserve a rest. Return!" Staraptor vanished in a flash of red light, and Ash put the pokeball away. He pulled a different one.
"Floatzel, I choose you!" The Aqua Weasel appeared in a flash of white light, and crossed his arms.
Floatzel: (Ready, Boss)
"Floatzel vs Arcanine, begin!"
"Arcanine, Flamethrower!" Arcanine fired a stream of flames at Floatzel. He waited for Ash's Signal. "Floatzel, Aqua Jet!" The Weasel covered itself with water and shot forth, flying through the flames like they were paper. He rammed Arcanine, dealing serious damage, but he wasn't through yet.
"Arcanine, Flame Wheel!"
"Floatzel, Water Pulse!"
As Arcanine encased himself in a ball of fire, Floatzel charged up a ball of compact water. As Arcanine ran toward Floatzel, the Weasel threw his compact ball. It splashed on the ground, then rushed toward thge charging dog. Arcanine crashed into the Water Pulse, and was stopped in his tracks. In the stands, Pachirisu, Lopunny, and Chansey cheering Ash on, with Dawn joining in her cheerleading outfit. Pikachu was swaetdropping at Lopunny's choice of cheering, as were many of dawn's and brock's fellow spectators. The cloaked Pokemon was too interested in the battle going on to notice, not that he cared about the antics of others.
In the battle, Arcanine was panting, having just been struck by two water attacks. He collapsed, unconsious as Floatzel crossed his arms in satisfaction.
"Arcanine is unable to battle, Floatzel wins."
???: (Good job, Ash. You're becoming the great Trainer I know you can be.)
Paul recalled his arcanine. "Really pathetic." He called his next one. "Honchkrow, Stand-by for battle." In a flash of light, the misunderstood Dark/Flying Type Pokemon appeared. It stared down at Floatzel con descendingly.
"I'll stick with Floatzel."
"Honchkrow vs. Floatzel. Begin!"
"Honchkrow, Night Shade!" The bird pokemon shot out a stream of black energy at Floatzel, which damaged the Weasel Pokemon a bit. "Floatzel, Aqua Jet!"
"Honchkrow, Protect!"
Honchkrow generated a green barrier, and Floatzel bounced off it.
"Honchkrow, Faint Attack!"
The bird flew at Floatzel at high speeds, whacking the Weasel as he flew by. Floatzel was panting. He spun around, and sent a burst of sound energy at Honchkrow.. It struck, and the bird stumbled. Floatzel then shot at the bird with Aqua Jet, striking him, then being struck with Faint Attack. The Weasel Pokemon collapsed unconsious from that.
"Floatzel is unable to battle. Honchkrow wins." Ash recalled Floatzel. "You did a good job. Rest easy." Ash looked at pikachu, who ran onto the field.
"Pikachu vs Honchkrow. Begin!"
"Pikachu, Iron tail!" Pikachu dashed forward, tail aglow.
"Honchkrow, Protect!" Honchkrow generated a green field of energy around him. Pikachu struck it, and then it's tail glowed brightly, slashing through the shield, and striking Honchkrow beyond.
"That was Feint, Brock!"
"Yeah, but I didn't even know that pikachu could learn that attack."
"Damn, Protect can't be used, with pikachu knowing Feint. Fine, Honchkrow, Mean Look!" Honchkrow glared at pikachu, and a red aura flowed from him to the small mouse, trapping him in the arena until either of them were KO'd.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu (With pleasure!)
He sent a large blast of lightning at Honchkrow, zapping him for twice the normal damage. The bird fell to the ground unconsious.
"Honchkrow is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner."
Paul recalled Honchcrow. "You should have done better." He called forth his next pokemon. "Electivire, Stand-by for battle!" a flash of light occured, and when it died down, a large yellow and black pokemon stood in the stadium. He had two tails, and the tips were red.
"Electivire vs. Pikachu! Begin!"
"Electivire, Thunder Punch!" Electivire dashed forward, his hand blazing with electricity.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail." The electric mouse dashed forward, his tail glowing. The Thunderpunch, and Iron Tail clashed, neither gaining any headway, until an explosion occurred. Both pokemon were thrown back.
"Pikachu, Volt Tackle!" Pikachu dashed forward, enveloped in electricity. He was heading straight for Electivire.
"Electivire, Protect!" The large being crossed his arms in front of himself, and generated a green field of energy. Pikachu slammed into the field at high speed. The barrier started to cave, but suddenly the electric energy that surged around the barrier suddenly started flowing back, and in a sudden burst, Pikachui was thrown back, struck by Electivire's Thunder. Pikachu was panting. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Pikachu sent a blast of lightning at Electivire, and Paul said nothing. Electivire was struck, and absorbed the electricity like a battery.
"Electivire, Thunder!" Electivire suddenly let out a giant burst of lightning, much larger than normal. Pikachu was struck, and cried out in pain, before he collapsed, unconsious. Excess sparks flew out of his small body, as though he were overloaded.
"Pikachu is unable to battle. Electivire Wins."
Ash ran out and picked Pikachu up, being zapped by the excess lightning, looking for an outlet. Ash was charred, but walked back, putting Pikachu with dawn and brock, as lopunny immediately started tending to him. She glowed a light bluish color, and sent the energy through to Pikachu.
"That's Healing Wish!"
Ash ran back to the field, and called his next pokemon. "Gliscor, I choose you!" A flash of light, and the female Gliscor appeared. She suddenly flew and tried to hug Ash, toppling him. Ahs got her off him, and she flew to the arena.
"Gliscor vs. Electivire. Begin!"
"Gliscor, Faint Attack!" Gliscor rushed forward, and struck Electivire. He was pushed back, but stayed upright.
"Electivire, Giga Impact!" Electivire dashed forward, covered in a pink and purple aura.
"Gliscor dodge it and use X-Scissor."
"Gliscor flew out of reach, and when the attack ended, used X-Scissor to slash her opponent. This knocked Electivire down, and he struggled to get up. "Get up!" Instead, he collapsed, unconsious.
"Electivire is unable to battle. The Winner is Gliscor." Paul recalled Electivire. "Pathetic." The cloaked pokemon looked at Paul but said nothing. The wind suddenly blew, and his cloak blew with it. We could see his lower body and legs. he had a fuschia underbelly, and grayish legs. His hands had three fingers on them.
Paul called forth his next Pokemon. "Ursaring, Standby for battle." In a flash of light the bear appeared. He roared, but Gliscor wasn't afraid.
"Gliscor vs. Ursaring, begin!"
"Ursaring, Hyper Beam!" In a flash, an orange beam shot forth, and struck Gliscor. She fell to the ground, unconsious.
"Gliscor is unable to battle, Ursaring wins." Ash recalled Gliscor. "You did great. You deserve a rest." he called his next pokemon. Grotle, I choose you!" In a flash, the grass pokemon appeared.
"Ursaring vs. Grotle! Begin!"
"Grotle, Razor Leaf!" Grotle shook his leaves, and several of them raced toward Ursaring, who just stood there. He was struck several times, but never fell. He suddenly roared.
"Ursaring, Earthquake!" Ursaring's arms glowed, and he slammed them on the ground. The field started shaking, and from below Grotle, several rock spears suddenly emerged. Grotle was struck bu them, and thrown backward, but landed on his feet. he suddenly roared and glowed white. He grew bigger, and a tree grew on his back. He roared again, as a Torterra.
Torterra: (Oh, YEAH!! Now it's time for real power!)
To prove his point, he glowed green, and slammed his front feet on the ground. Several thorned vines emerged and headed torward Ursaring, striking him with a heckload of power. Ursaring fell on his back, but got up shakily. Torterra was panting from the inertia, as the bear fired Hyper Beam. Torterra was thrown back from the force of impact, but stayed on his feet. The Continent Pokemon roared.
Torterra (Torterra's back in business.)
"Torterra, Solarbeam!" Torterra started gathering energy from the sun, as Ursaring rested. Soon, Ursaring roared.
Ursaring: (You're in trouble now big guy!)
Torterra: (We'll se about that!)
Ursaring charged a Hyper Beam. Torterra fired his Solarbeam as Ursaring fired Hyper Beam. The two attacks clashed, and stayed in the middle, before Torterra's attack started advancing. Soon, Ursaring's attack was dispelled, and Solarbeam struck him solidly in the face, knocking him out.
"Ursaring is unable to battle. The Winner is Torterra." Paul recalled ursaring, putting the pokeball away silently. He picked up his final pokeball, and smiled. "Torterra, Standby for battle."
"Torterra, Return!" As one Torterra appeared, the other vanished. "Monferno, I choose you!" In a flash of light, the fire ape appeared.
"Torterra vs Monferno, begin!"
"Torterra, Hyper Beam." Torterra fired an orange beam of energy, which Monferno narrowly dodged.
"Monferno, Flamethrower!" Monferno shot a stream of fire at the Continent Pokemon, which was engulfed in the flames. "Torterra, Leaf Storm!" In a flurry of leaves and wind, the fire was put out, and monferno was struck by the Leaf Storm. The fire ape stumbled, and growled. He dashed forward, before vanishing, appearing behind Torterra and striking the monster's head with a glowing fist. He then got ready for a point blank flamethrower.
"Leaf Storm!" Before he could fire, Monferno was caught in the giant's Leaf Storm. he was sent flying to the ground, where he flipped over and landed safely, before being engulfed in light. In a flash, he was replaced with a larger ape, who looked to be geared for fighting.
Infernape (Let's go. I'm ready to dish out some extreme heat!)
As though to prove his point, he glowed red, and raised his head high. A fireball started forming, which enlarged.
"Torterra, Hyper Beam!" The giant charged his attack. The two pokemon fired their attacks at the same time, causing an explosion so loud,. even Mewtwo had to cover his ears. Suddenly the sound of a slam occurs, and when the smoke clears, we see Torterra unconsious, with Infernape standing slightly behind him, as though he used a Mach Punch. The crowd was silent.
"Torterra is unable to battle, Infernape wins. Ash is the winner of the Sinnoh league. And as such, he gets to participate in the Champion's league of his choice at the awards ceremony!"
Ash ran onto the field as Paul recalled his pokemon. Paul stalked off as Ash's friends ran over to him. Mewtwo went over to Ash's hotel room via Teleport, and waited. Pikachu ran over and Ash hugged him, as in Pallet, the spectators there cheered. Ash also hugged Infernape.
During the Awards Ceremony, Ash stood on the podium, and recieved the champion's badge. All the other participants recieved badges as well. Then Cynthia walked forward.
"Ash, upon your completion of the Sinnoh League, you are allowed to participate in the Champion's League of your choice."
"Great, then I choose to participate in the Kanto League."
"Very well. We'll alert the Kanto Elite 4, and their new champion."
After the festivities at the stadium, the trio headed to their hotel room. When they got there, they saw the cloaked figure from the Stadium...
