Matchday 1
A/N: Welcome Pokemon fans around the world to Matchday 1 of the Pkmn Champions League sponsored by the National Pokemon League Committee and Coca-Cola. Without any further updue, let's the games begin with the inaugural match in Group 1 between Paul from Veilstone City, Sinnoh against Morty Johto Gym Leader of Ecruteak City broadcasted from Veilstone Arena with a capacity for 30, 000 fans. (Yes I made out a stadium for Veilstone City, and will be the same for the rest of the cities.) Group matches will be 3 on 3 Pokemon battles and from the knockout stages will be full Pokemon battles (6 on 6 of course)
Paul was on his dressing room preparing himself before his first match and smirking a bit thinking that the group stage will be a walk in the park. His lineup was pretty much the same he has been since his early days with just few changes.
"Listen up everyone, this tournament will be to thrash everyone into nothingness and also to win because there is no way in hell we are going to lose especially to Ketchum." Paul assured that in this new league he will be the champion and no one not even a certain Pallet Town trainer. His lineup was the following Pokemon: Skarmory, Torterra, Electabuzz, Ursaring, Magmortar, and Weavile. His speech was terrifying and inspiring to his Pokemon to reflect his dark persona.
On the other dressing room, Morty, Ecruteak Gym Leader, was having a last minute pep talk with his team. Morty talked to his ghosts, "Listen, this is going to be an important event since we are in an official tournament and we have a chance to show our teamwork to everyone around the world, as long as we have a shot we can end up winning since I believe in your power." His team was made up of his ghost pokemon: Gengar, Misdreavus, Haunter, Dusclops, Banette, and Shedinja.
Both trainers were ready for the first matchup in Veilstone Arena and had already registered their respective Pokemon for the inaugural match of the Pokemon Champions League. Both trainers were now at the frontal stadium with 30,000 fans watching them plus millions of them watching the event from their homes. Paul was standing on the right side and his opponent Gym Leader Morty on the left one.
"Welcome to this Pokemon Champions' League group match between Paul of Veilstone City and Johto Gym Leader from Ecruteak City Morty. Each trainer will be using three pokemon and the battle will end when all three Pokemon of one trainer are considered unable to battle", the referee was explaining the rules to both trainers. They nodded and then on the big high definition screen showed both trainers' faces and a roulette happened to determine who went first the digital roulette went fast until it slowed down to stop to the red spot, Morty was chosen to go first.
"Okay trainers let the battle begin", the referee replied.
"Dusclops, let's go", the ghost gym leader throwed his pokeball.
"Electabuzz standby for battle", Paul followed next.
The referee then says, "Dusclops vs Electabuzz begin now."
"Dusclops let's start this with Shadow Punch on Electabuzz", the ghost gym leader commanded.
"Electabuzz use your Protect."
Dusclops launched a fast hollow punch towards the electric Pokemon, and then Electabuzz used a green spherical defensive barrier to stop the attack. The match has already begun and both trainers seem to want the victory.
"Electabuzz launch a Thunderbolt on Dusclops", the callous purple haired trainer commanded to the Electric Pokemon.
Electabuzz launched used a Thunderbolt attack that was directed to Morty's ghost pokemon, but the ghost type pokemon wasn't going to give up that easily.
"Dusclops use your Shadow Ball to counter that Thunderbolt", replied Morty to his ghost Pokemon.
Dusclops was forming a powerful purple orb from its hands to counter its opponent's electric attack. It fired the Shadow Ball attack and collided with the Thunderbolt and both attack resulting in quite into a tie.
The people in Veilstone Arena were enjoying themselves with the start of the match between two well trained Pokemon, while they were eating snacks like hot dogs and nachos accompanied with delicious beverages. They were admiring the trainers and the Pokemon with their powerful attacks.
"Dusclops use Earthquake to knock Electabuzz"
Dusclops leaped and then slammed with its two feet a somehow powerful Earthquake.
"Electabuzz jump to avoid the earthquake and then attack Dusclops with your Thunderpunch", Paul has ordered to the Electric Pokemon in his usual cold, calculating way. The Electric Pokemon jumped out of the way of the opponent's earthquake and then delivered an impressive Thunderpunch towards the ghost Pokemon. Dusclops was sent flying through the power of that Thunderpunch, but it could still continue battling.
"Now Electabuzz use Thunder to finish that Dusclops."
"Don't give in yet Dusclops dodge that thunder, and then use Confuse Ray on Electabuzz", commanded Morty to his Dusclops. Electabuzz fired from its antennae its Thunder attack and just at last moment Dusclops disappeared and then got behind Electabuzz to launch its Confuse Ray from its hollow hands and it made impact on the Electabuzz.
"Dusclops use Mean Look to win sure this round."
"Damn it, Electabuzz you better not flunk on this or else", commanded Paul in his usual cold tone of voice.
It was a bit late for this. Electabuzz tried to use its attacks to only get hit himself, thanks to the Confuse Ray. Then the Mean Look attack took effect, and now Electabuzz couldn't return until the battle was over. Things were looking grim for the Veilstone trainer, while the ghost Pokemon gym leader had the advantage. Paul was in trouble now since he could only end the battle with Electabuzz.
"Dusclops finish this with a Shadow Ball."
Dusclops formed once more a purplish black orb from its hands and it made impact on the Electric Pokemon and putting it down for the count.
"Electabuzz is no longer able to continue the winner is Dusclops."
Paul has lost his first Pokemon and is now with 2 left. Which will be his second Pokemon?
"Magmortar standby for battle", said Paul.
The Pokeball released an overgrown humanoid duck fire type Pokemon with two cannon like arms.
"Mag-mortar"
The battle was now between Magmortar and tuckered Dusclops.
"Magmortar now use your Flamethrower, and then use a Fire Punch."
"Dusclops use Shadow Sneak."
Magmortar fired an orange stream of fire from its duck billed mouth, while Dusclops went for its Shadow Sneak attack on Magmortar. Unfortunately, the flamethrower hits on Dusclops, and followed by a Fire Punch that left Dusclops finally unconscious.
"Dusclops is unable to battle Magmortar is the winner."
Both trainers are now with two pokemon left and the crowd is enjoying this match.
"Haunter let's go"
Then out of the Pokéball came out, a purple gaseous ghost with a pair of arms floating on the field.
The referee raised both flags and said, "Magmortar vs Haunter, begin."
"Magmortar start this by using Lave Plume"
Magmortar launches molten lava from its arm cannons.
"Haunter dodge the Lava Plume, and then use Night Shade."
Haunter dodged the attack barely, but a bit of the Lava Plume hits on the ghost Pokemon. Then Haunter shot a shady beam from its eyes. The attack made impact and some damage on Magmortar.
"Magmortar use Thunderbolt on Haunter."
Magmortar used a powerful electric attack to damage big time the gas Pokemon.
"Magmortar use Flamethrower and follow it with a Fire Punch to end this."
"Haunter use Shadow Ball then Shadow Punch."
First the Shadow Ball and the Flamethrower collided into a small explosion. After that both went physical with the Magmortar's Fire Punch and Haunter's Shadow Punch. Magmortar had more power and punched Haunter with its Fire Punch to leave totally unconscious Morty's Haunter.
"Haunter is unable to battle, the round goes to Magmortar."
The battle has changed to Paul's favor since he has two Pokemon left, while Morty the Johto Gym leader had only one left.
"Well I will have to use this one as my last one. Go Gengar."
Out of the Pokéball released Gengar, the Shadow Pokemon, with quite a smirk on its face and ready to battle Magmortar. Magmortar showed signs of being tired. Still Paul would continue the battle.
"Gengar versus Magmortar, begin"
"Magmortar use Flamethrower", commanded Paul to his fire type human shaped pokemon.
"Gengar dodge it and use Shadow Claw."
Gengar dodged the orange stream of fire and then attacked with Shadow Claw on Magmortar. After the attack, Gengar sensed its body with a burn inflicting status.
"Awwww, I should have expected Magmortar's special ability, Flame Body."
"That's right now here I come Magmortar now Fire Spin and then Fire Punch combo."
"Don't give in we'll use Hypnosis."
The fire spin went to Gengar but it got out of the way, and then Gengar used its hypnotic waves to put Magmortar to dreamland. (A/N: Like Mr. Sandman would say "Brush your teeth, its bedtime.")
"Grrr, damn it Magmortar is out cold", Paul muttered.
"Now Gengar, heal yourself with Dream Eater attack", Morty said to his trusty Gengar.
Gengar used its powerful psychic attack to enter on Magmortar's dreams and feed itself through the dreams reenergizing itself. After the Dream Eater attack, Magmortar finally fainted after battling too much.
"Magmortar is unable to battle this round goes to Gengar."
"Okay now here comes the last battle of this inaugural match", one of the broadcast announcers said to the crowd attending the stadium.
"Weavile standby for battle"
Out of the Pokéball, the Sharp Claw Pokemon came out in a flash of white light and ready to battle.
"Weavile versus Gengar, begin."
"Gengar use Poison Jab on Weavile."
"Weavile go with Swords Dance and Metal Claw."
Gengar was charging with a purplish jab punch, while Weavile was in a relaxing, dancing motion to increase sharply physical attacks. Then after the Swords Dance, Weavile went to the front to attack Gengar with its Metal Claw. Gengar and Weavile were both battling and dodging the opponent's moves like in a martial arts competition trying to not get hit. Then in a moment of carelessness, both finally got hit by Metal Claw and Poison Jab.
"Now Gengar use a Lick attack"
"Weavile use Ice Beam to freeze that tongue when the time is right."
Paul's Weavile evaded Gengar's tongue, and then at the right moment Weavile formed its powerful Ice Beam from its hands. The Ice Beam hit on the target and froze Gengar's tongue. Gengar was in trouble with its frozen tongue.
"Weavile now go for a Dark Pulse attack."
The Sharp Claw Pokemon formed a black stream of darkness from its paws and fired towards Gengar. The attack impacted Gengar leaving the Ghost pokemon down, but still not out.
"Gengar stay strong and attack with Poison Jab."
"Weavile you use a final Metal Claw with all your strength."
Both were going for the last attack, and when those 2 pokemon collided with their respective attacks at the end, Gengar was the one who got knocked out, while spirals replaced its eyes.
"Gengar can no longer continue, Weavile is the winner. The match goes to Paul of Veilstone City."
The crowd applauded for a good match, and both trainers just shook hands out of respect for the other. Morty saying it was a nice match, while Paul just said simply thanks.
Meanwhile in Cinnabar Island at the Aloha Pokemon Stadium, the second match between veteran Blaine and Brendan from the Hoenn Region was about to end. The match was pretty interesting, both trainers were down to the last Pokemon with Brendan only with Mightyena and Blaine with Arcanine.
"Now Arcanine use Fire Spin:"
Arcanine, the Legendary Pokemon, launched a fiery tornado directed to the dark Pokemon. Mightyena was trapped in that Fire Spin and Brendan had no idea to get out of this trouble.
"Arcanine end this match with Flare Blitz."
Arcanine charged with a powerful fire tackle to knock out its opponent, not without receiving a bit of recoil damage first.
The referee declared that Mightyena was unable to battle and Arcanine is the winner; so the victory went to Blaine.
In Group 1 the results were:
Paul and Blaine tied in 1st place with 3 points. Brendan and Morty are starting the Pkmn Champions League with 0 points.
Group 2 matches were:
Dahlia of the Sinnoh Battle Frontier against Brawly of Dewford Gym and victory was for the Arcade Star in an impressive performance and with two Pokemon remaining. The match took place in Dewford Beach Club which had an indoors battle field.
The other match was Koga vs Sabrina. Sabrina just barely defeated Koga despite type advantage. Her Alakazam went through and defeated Koga's Crobat enough to give the first 3 points. Match was in Saffron Stadium.
Group 2 has Dahlia and Sabrina with 3 points each, while Brawly and Koga had 0.
That's the 1st part of Matchday 1 of the Pkmn Champions League. I get to be a bit lazy and sometimes not put the enough heart and soul in my works. I will get to work on the next group matches quicker if I can. R&R and remember that everyone has chance to win.
