On the road
"PAUL?!"
"Well are you ready or not?"
"Actually he's going to battle me first."They were even more surprised seeing Gary walk in behind Paul making the purple haired boy growl."Gary Oak nice to meet ya."
"Why should you battle him first?"
"I've been his rival longer."
"But I'm stronger."
"Wanna prove that?"
"Bring it on."
"Ash can you be our referee?"
"Sure."
"The 6-on-6 battle of Gary versus Paul is about to begin. Both trainers will be allowed to substitute Pokemon at any point."Ash was standing in between Gary and Paul on the battlefield while the other four were watching ready to see what was about to happen."BATTLE BEGIN!"
"DRAPION! STAND BY FOR BATTLE!"
"ALAKAZAM LET'S GO!"Ash was surprised to see Gary using an Alakazam as he and Paul's Drapion looked ready to fight.
"DRAPION!"
"ALAKAZAM!"
"Drapion Pin Missile quickly before he can hit you."Drapion opened his mouth and shot Alakazam with white needles making Gary chuckle.
"What an amateur move."
"Amateur?"
"Alakazam, send those back using Psychic."Alakazam's spoons bent forward as his eyes did making the Pin Missiles stop and go at Drapion making him roar in pain.
"USE TOXIC SPIKES!"Drapion dug his claws into the ground making it glow purple before he fell forward unconscious.
"Drapion is unable to battle! Alakazam is the winner!"
"Gary's really strong."
"Why's that?"
"In the Lily of the Valley Conference when Ash fought Drapion...Drapion took out half his team."
"Drapion return. So this is the power of Oak's Grandson?"Paul looked at Gary closely as he returned Drapion to his Pokeball.
"You betcha, and I'm just getting started."
"Fine then! MAGMORTAR STAND BY FOR BATTLE!"Magmortar appeared from his Pokeball making Gary chuckle more.
"Alakazam use-"
"MAGMORTAR FIRE PUNCH!"Everyone but Paul was shocked seeing Magmortar quickly run up to Alakazam and deliver a devastating punch sending him into the wall and knocked him out.
"A-Alakazam is unable to battle! Magmortar wins!"
"Thank you Alakazam. So time for me to actually take this seriously."Gary returned his Alakazam and took out to Ash's surprise, an Ultra Ball."Time to test you out. LET'S GO...HAXORUS!"Ash was surprised seeing a Shiny Haxorus appear in front of Gary, so was Paul.
"USE STONE EDGE!"
"Rock Smash."Every rock that Magmortar would shoot from his arm cannons, Haxorus would destroy using his tusks.
"SMOG!"
"Rock Slide."Haxorus's eyes glowed white as multiple rocks fell in front of him acting as a shield from the poison cloud Magmortar shot his way.
"I never would've thought that Rock Slide could be used in such a way."
"Dragon Pulse."Haxorus shot a blue ball at Magmortar making Paul growl in anger.
"CATCH IT!"Magmortar barely caught the ball in time making Gary smirk.
"Focus Blast."Serena and Dawn looked away while covering Bonnie's eyes as Haxorus shot a similar colored ball at Magmortar making an explosion covering the area in dust. When it settled, Magmortar was covered in dirt, scratches, and bruises with swirls in his eyes.
"Magmortar is unable to battle! Haxorus wins!"
"Magmortar return...what to do...WEAVILE STAND BY!"
"Wea."Weavile appeared making Haxorus laugh.
"Haxorus. Hax."
"USE-"
"Rock Smash again."Weavile was knocked out by Haxorus quickly slamming his tusks on his head.
"RETURN! HONCHKROW STAND BY!"
"What Pokemon is Paul on?"
"Number 4."
"And Gary?"
"2."
"Haxorus use Rock Slide."
"Dodge all of them using Sky Attack!"Honchkrow began to glow white and barely dodged all of the rocks from Rock Slide.
"Use Dragon Pulse."
"Night Slash!"The Big Boss Pokemon cut the Dragon Pulse in half using his glowing wings and dove down at a break neck speed.
"Wait for it..."
"DARK PULSE!"
"Not yet...NOW! DRAGON PULSE!"Both attacks collided with one another causing an explosion making Honchkrow fall unconscious and Haxorus stagger back.
"Honchkrow is unable to battle! Haxorus wins!"
"...Return...three Pokemon lost to that thing...BISHARP STAND BY FOR BATTLE!"Paul threw a Pokeball making a Bisharp come from it.
"Bisharp..."
"A Dark AND a Steel type? ROCK SMA-"
"THUNDER WAVE!"Bisharp's blades released a small bolt of lightning paralyzing Haxorus as he prepared an attack."GUILLOTINE!"His blades then grew longer and sharper as he jumped towards Haxorus. The Axe Jaw Pokemon gave a roar of defeat and fell unconscious.
"Haxorus is unable to battle. Bisharp wins."
"A Pokemon just like Paul. This just got interesting."Dawn was on the edge of her seat watching the battle as Bisharp brushed off some dirt like his Trainer.
"Nice job Haxorus. ELECTIVIRE LET'S GO!"Gary sent out his Electivire making Paul smirk.
"This would've been interesting if I had mine. Bisharp use Power Up Punch!"
"Electivire you too!"Electivire and Bisharp's arms began to glow white as they began to punch each other rapidly getting faster and stronger every second. It ended with Electivire and Bisharp delivering devastating punches to each other's faces sending Electivire back and Bisharp flying unconscious.
"Bisharp is unable to battle! Electivire..."Ash was stopped by Electivire falling forward unconscious."Never mind it's a draw!"
"How did it end in a draw big brother?"Bonnie was confused making the other three laugh.
"You see Bonnie when Power Up Punch is used the power of it gets stronger. So since they used it so many times, it was strong enough to knock them both out, especially Bisharp since Fighting type moves are strong against Dark and Steel types."
"Time for my last Pokemon...TORTERRA STAND BY FOR BATTLE!"
"NIDOQUEEN LET'S GO!"Paul's Torterra and Gary's Nidoqueen appeared making the Purple haired boy growl."Use Mega Punch!"
"Frenzy Plant!"Nidoqueen was stopped by a colossal vine popping out of the ground and hitting her hard on the ground knocking her out.
"Nidoqueen is unable to battle! Torterra is the winner!"
"Hehe, so your strongest Pokemon is your starter? SAME HERE!"Gary threw his last Pokeball making his Blastoise appear.
"BLASTOISE!"
"TORTERRA!"
"Now that's a rivalry."Ash noticed the fire burning in both the Starters' eyes before they ran into each other.
"TORTERRA USE CRUNCH!"
"BLASTOISE USE BITE!"Both Turtle based Pokemon bit into each other making the other feel immense pain.
"LEAF STORM!"
"HYDRO CANNON!"The two Pokemon unleashed their most devastating attacks on each other sending them both away from each other heavily damaged.
"Blastoise are you okay?"
"Torterra prepare yourself!"
"Blast...oise."
"Tor...Torterra."
"One last attack. BLASTOISE USE HYDRO CANNON!"
"TORTERRA FINISH THIS WITH LEAF STORM!"Blastoise fired his high pressured blast of water and Torterra unleashed his tornado of glowing green leaves hitting each other and sent Blastoise to the floor.
"Come on Blastoise."
"That attack knocked one of them out...was it Gary's?"Serena knuckles were white from clenching her fists so tightly from the excitement and suspense as Torterra was standing up with trouble while Blastoise laid motionless.
"I have to call it Gary. Bla-"
"Terra."Torterra fell unconscious surprising all of them especially his Trainer.
"Blastoise. Blastoise Blast."Blastoise opened one eye and stood up trembling before regaining his balance and stood up straight.
"YES ALRIGHT!"
"TORTERRA IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! BLASTOISE WINS! AND THAT MEANS THAT THE WINNER IS GARY!"
"Here you go, your Pokemon are all better."Nurse Joy handed Paul and Gary their Pokeballs making them both smile.
"Thanks."
"Thank you very much Nurse Joy."
"Hey if you guys wanna stick around be our guests. We should get going on our way to Kiloude City."Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and Dawn were dresseD and ready to go and head on their way.
"Well what do you say Paul? Wanna stick around for a while?"
"As long as I get my rematch I'm fine."
"Alright then the more the merrier."
"So Dawn said the first city they'll stop at will be Anistar City. We should start heading there if we wanna get there before them."A familiar Coordinator from Hoenn got off a plane with her little brother in the Lumiose City airport carrying both of their bags.
"May can you help me!"
"You called me fat so that's your punishment."
