1The Reunion of the true lovers

Chapter 4

Battle time starts

This is going to be a bit more of an action packed chapter with several battles taking place. Well I did basically explain what will happen over this and the next chapter last. Yeah you see the last chapter was so long I decided to break it into 4 or 5 chapters. This here is one of my longer ones but one of my best here you go. I hope you all feel the same way.

Ash:(Going back to this format. To many characters now) Alright Pikachu good job. Ok buddy ready to face what ever is heading our way next?

Pika! (Do I really need to tell you who said that? I'll only use names wen it is him and May's Pikachu.)

Gary: Ok Come on out Aggron!

Ash Ok Pikachu! We are gonna have to rely on your speed and your Electric attacks here big time. Some thing is up here. Why would Gary use a Pokemon that is weak against Electric attacks? I'll have to be careful with this Aggron.

Dawn: Hmm. Interesting choice. I don't really get why he would use a steel type against an electric type but hey it is probably a strategy he has. All I know is that this guy is a rival of Ash's and that he has been a trainer for just as long as Ash and not to mention he is really cute. Wait cute where the heck did that come from?

Dawn was pulled from her thought process when Pikachu answered Ash's advice showing that he agreed and knew what Ash was thinking.

Pika Pika Cha Pikachu Pikapi Pikachu

Gary: Ok Aggron use Earthquake.

Ash: Pikachu Jump as high as you can and hit Aggron with Thunder!

Gary: Aggron use Reflect.

Much to everyone's shock the defensive attack worked perfectly. In fact the attack came back and nearly hit Pikachu. Aggron then came charging on Pikachu's direction the second he landed. Pikachu just kept backing away not willing to let this Aggron get anywhere near him.

Ash: Pikachu use Overheat.(An: If your reading What Now then I don't have to explain how a pikachu can use a fire attack in my stories.)

Gary: Aggron jump over the attack and try Earthquake again.

Ash: Pikachu jump as high as you can and come down on Aggron with Volt Tackle.

Aggron took the hit and countered by throwing Pikachu few feet away from him. Gary decided no was his best chance to take out Pikachu.

Gary: "Pikachu is his best so I have to take him out if I'm gonna have a shot a winning this battle." Aggron use Dynamic Punch.

Ash: Pikachu Dodge his attacks using Agility. "Hopefully Gary's Aggron isn't in as good a shape as Pikachu. I can tell it isn't as fast and that is a good sign."

This started a 15 minute show which featured Aggron trying to close in on Pikachu so that he could hit him with the attack and Pikachu using Agility to keep him as far away as possible. The plan was obvious to Pikachu he knew what Ash was up to. It was slowly starting to hit Gary that Ash was using his head for the first time in his life.

Gary: God Damnit! It seems that Ashy-boy has figured out that my Aggron isn't in as good shape as his Pikachu is. That hurts because his Pikachu looks like he can keep this up forever at the moment.

Dawn however was still impressed by Gary's battling skills. So on the plus side this battle hasn't been a complete failure so far.

Dawn: Wow! This Gary is pretty good. His Pokemon are in such great shape too. He is really good. Cute and a good trainer to boot. Wait where did that come form?

(AN: I'll give the reader 10 guess where that came from.)

Gary: Aggron stop attacking now.

This shocked everyone s they were shocked that he did that when he seemed to have Pikachu on the ropes.

Ash: What is he up to?

Brock: But why, did he figure out what Ash is up to?

Dawn: Wait. What? Why did he do that is he up to something? What is going on here?

May: Woah, why did he stop his Aggron? It looked like Aggron was winning this battle to.

Max: Hehe. So he finally figured out hat Ash is up to huh?

Everyone was pulled from their respective thoughts hen Gary called out his next attack.

Gary: Aggron, use Hyper Beam.

Ash: "Alright then we will have to throw an elemental Hyper Beam back at him." Pikachu use Thunder Blast.

The two attacks collided and both Pokemon kicked up the intensity of the attacks battling for dominance the entire way. In the middle the attacks a ball of energy started to form. As the attacks raged on with neither side giving an inch the energy ball grew larger and larger until it was starting to encompass the whole field. As the ball came close to approaching the to sources of the energy that is feeding it the ball of energy exploded. The force caused a pile of dust and smoke to cover the battle field while debris went flying all over the place. Some of the debris hit Brock on the head and nearly knocked him out. The Tension was thick as everyone waited for the dust cleared. Ash and Gary had their brains going at 1000 miles a minute.

Ash: Is Pikachu ok? What happened to Aggron? Who won the battle? Come on Pikachu. I know you can keep going buddy. Please be ok.

Gary: God Dammit! I hope Aggron is ok. This is not good. He is one of my best to. Come on Aggron please still be able to battle.

Neither one was ready to face the possibility that one of his best Pokemon could be knocked out while the other was completely unharmed. As the smoke started clearing the tension ent right through the roof. Everyone was on edge waiting to see who had one the battle between these two awesome Pokemon.

Ash: Pikachu you alright buddy?

Gary: What about you Aggron how are you doing?

Pika Pi Pikachu

Agg Aggron gron Agg

Ash: Ok Pikachu charge at Aggron combining Extreme speed, Agility and Quick Attack.

As Pikachu got closer Gary figure out what he thought to be the perfect counter to the speed advantage Pikachu seemed to have on Aggron.

Gary: Ok Aggron use Earthquake now.

Ash: "Excellent this is perfect I was hoping he would do that." Pikachu Jump up as high as you can and use Iron Tail on Aggron.

Gary: Alright Aggron use Mega Punch on Pikachu.

As the two orders went it happened that Pikachu hit Aggron in the face with Iron Tail and Aggron caught Pikachu with a fierce Mega Punch. Pikachu went flying only to land on hisfeet ready to attack again.

Ash: Pikachu Use a combination of Volt Tackle and Extreme Speed.

Gary: Aggron Combine Dynamic Punch and Focus Punch

The two attacks collided and both Pokemon were sent flying back by the force of the attacks that had been used prior.

Ash: Pikachu run around Aggron using Quick Attack, Agility and Extreme Speed.

Gary: Aggron try and hit Pikachu with Hyper Beam.

This left everyone confused. They were all trying to figure out exactly what Ash was up to.

This included all the Pokemon not belonging to either Gary or Ash(Yes everyone else let their Pokemon out to watch the battle) they were completely amazed wondering what was next? Pretty soon Aggron as getting frustrated and Gary decided to switch tactics.

Gary: Aggron use Earthquake.

Ash: Pikachu jump towards Aggron and use your speed to add some Extra Power to Volt Tackle.

Gary: Aggron counter with another Dynamic punch.

As the two came charging each other it was unreal the way the combined force of the attacks caused another explosion that sent both Pokemon flying bak landing on their feet.

Gary: Try and hit Pikachu with Take Down.

Ash: Pikachu jump over Aggron and hit him with Iron Tail.

Gary: Aggron counter Iron Tail with Mega Punch.

Ash: Pikachu Grab on to Aggron's fist and use Thunder.

The electric attack was doing some serious Damage when Gary had an idea.

Gary: Aggron ram Pikachu into the ground with Iron Fist then jump as high as you can.

As this happened Aggron then jumped into the air waiting for Gary's next order.

Gary: Now flatten Pikachu with Body Slam.

Ash: Pikachu dodge using Extreme speed.

Aggron then got up to see Pikachu waiting for his next attack seating bullets with Sparks flying from his cheeks like there was no tomorrow.

Ash: Got to be more careful that could have ended it.

Gary: Aggron try and hit Pikachu with Mega Kick!

Ash: Pikachu counter with Iron Tail.

With that the two Pokemon lunged at each other constantly trying to hit the other with the attack they were using. Yet again this started another repetitive exchange of attacks that lasted about 5 minutes. These two were both fiercely going at it refusing to give an inch. Finally they tried a maximum strength exchange which has had similar results to their other attempts at ending this.

Ash: Woah I see Gary has been training as well.

Gary: I knew challenging Ash would get me the battle I've looking for lately. We always seem to bring out the best of each other and our Pokemon.

Everyone was shocked to see that both Pokemon looked like they were relatively unharmed.

The group of spectators including the two newbies that went unnoticed were especially shocked.

May: Woah Pikachu is in as good a shape as ever. You can tell Ash has been working really hard with all of these guys. I guess it helps that when it comes to the workouts he will do the running and strength training with them. That always did seem to inspire them to work harder.

May then found herself staring at Ash and looking at his muscles and how well built he is in her opinion. She started to blush a little as a few different both fine and inappropriate thoughts found their way into her head.

Brock: Woah I wonder how Pikachu is so relatively unscathed. Did He use recover? Speaking of which aside from looking tired Aggron looks like he is able to keep this up as well. We really are witnessing a battle between two top notch trainers.

Max: Woah this is unbelievable I have never seen a battle this intense before. That's it I'm challenging the winner no questions asked.

Now as for our hidden spectators.

Paul: Figures that Pikachu was always the only worthwhile Pokemon in his arsenal. Probably still is the only one of the rumors are wrong and his Charizard hasn't really come back. I hope that thing is as well trained as his Pikachu. I'd hate to have to find his Pikachu as the only real challenge in his arsenal like usual.

Drew: Woah I knew Ash as good but this is insane. It seems that this rival of his is also pretty good. I wouldn't mind getting to battle each of them one day but I'll worry about that later. Right now I'm here for May. I will take her back and make her mine. (AN: Not even in his wildest dreams will he accomplish that.)

As Aggron and Pikachu stood there staring each other down Gary decided to go on the offensive.

Gary: Aggron use Earthquake then hit Pikachu with a Focus Punch.

Ash was ready he had been expecting an attack pattern like this to come from Gary.

Ash: Pikachu jump to avoid the Earthquake and counter Focus Punch with Iron Tail.

Pikachu did as Ash said avoiding the Earthquake and When Focus Punch and Iron Tail met it left Pikachu and Aggron in another struggle for dominance. Thelittle struggle looked like it was going to last for a while when Ash called out the next part of his counter attack.

Ash: Ok Pikachu use a full strength Thunder now.

Gary looked shocked while Aggron had a look of pure terror on his face. Pikachu however grinned as he and Aggron suddenly disappeared covered by a Vail of Electricity that was covering the two and doing unbelievable damage to Aggron. After the attack lasted for about 5 minutes there was yet another explosion and when the smoke cleared both pokemon where still standing and both were looking extremely tired.. This shocked Ash and Pikachu as they both thought that, that particular attack would end it.

Gary: Shocked Ash? I guess I should have warned you that I came here with my strongest Pokemon. You see unlike you who only brought Pikachu and had Charizard sent to you I didn't come here to try and test my skill.

Meanwhile Ash was trying to figure out how to do beat Aggron while Pikachu was once again dodging a flurry of Dynamic punches.

Ash: "What do I have to do. We are really gonna have to dig deep that Aggron is taking everything Pikachu has to offer. I'll have to try another Fire attack." Pikachu I want you to try a maximum strength Fire Blast.

Gary: Aggron I want you to counter that attack with Water Gun.

The to attacks collided and both instantly canceled each other out. It was already showing that both Pokemon were at their last leg as, neither really looked like they would be able to last much longer.

Gary: Ash are you thinking what I'm thinking?

This question had everyone of the spectators really confused, hat shocked them more was when Ash grinned and confirmed his suspicions.

Ash: Oh yeah this little clash of the titans should end with a real bang. To tell you the truth I whole heartedly agree with you on that one. Pikachu...

Gary just grinned and called out his attack.

Gary: Aggron Hyper Beam

Ash: Thunder Blast

This was pretty much a repeat except for one key difference. This time as the ball of energy that formed got to where the previous one was it started to shrink. It was condensing all of its energy for an even bigger blast then the previous one. After about 10 minutes of the two Pokemon pouring all they had into this attack struggling for dominance the ball once again exploded. Everyone including both Drew and Paul found themselves on edge anxious to see who had one this battle. They were all positive that the winner of this battle could effect the outcome of this battle.

As the smoke cleared everyone as shocked to see both Pokemon still standing neither looking ready to back down. Aggron and Pikachu were both breathing incredibly hard and Pikachu had sparks flying from his mouth to show that he was ready for more. Aggron responded by powering up for one last attack. Both trainers knew that this would be not only the real end to an epic battle but, also the turning point in one of their best battles yet.

Gary: Aggron use Focus Punch.

Ash: Pikachu use Volt Tackle.

As has been a common occurrence in this the attacks collided and there was yet another explosion. This time as the smoke cleared we could see that Aggron was out cold and that Pikachu was victorious.

Gary: Holy Shit Pikachu is in the best condition I've ever seen him in. Ash has been really working hard this time around. I guess he is getting tired of all the talk saying that he won't win the Sinnoh league.

Gary returned his Aggron to his Pokeball but not before letting Aggron know how proud of him he was.

Gary: Alright Umbreon your buddy.

Ash: Ok Pikachu do you think you have enough left in the tank for this battle?

Pikachu Pika Pi Pikachu chu Pi Pika

Ash was satisfied with Pikachu's response. It was "Not enough to win but definantly enough to atleast take Umbreon down with me". With that Ash decided he was going to wear Umbreon out as much as possible incase he did manage to beat Pikachu.

Ash: Pikachu I want you to circle the battle field using a combination of Extreme Speed, Quick Attack, Agility, and Volt Tackle.

Gary: Umbreon try to keep with Pikachu while using Extreme Speed, Agility, and Quick Attack.

With that the two were off circling the battlefield at extreme speeds that were nearly impossible to keep up with. The two Pokemon were occasionally ramming into each other trying to slow the other down. Each time this happened both responded by pushing themselves to go even faster. This went on for about 7 minutes when Ash decided that now was the time to make his move.

Ash: Pikachu try to get ahead of Umbreon.

Pikachu suddenly took of with a new found speed even it didn't know that it had. Then Ash called for a sudden movement that shocked everyone.

Ash: Pikachu Stop and use Iron Tail on Umbreon.

Pikachu did just that and everyone noticed that this Iron Tail did a lot more damage then one usually does.

Dawn: Wait a second how did that Iron get so much more effective then usual.

Brock: It is because Gary played right into Ash's trap. You see he had them running in circles going faster and faster so that When Pikachu stopped and used Iron Tail as he was spinning around he had some extra momentum on his side. Now add to that the fact that Umbreon was chasing Pikachu going just as fast. He trapped Gary's Umbreon.

Max: So basically he tricked Gary into having Umbreon run face first into a super powered Iron Tail.

Brock: Yeah that is basically what happened.

Gary: Umbreon Use dig.

Ash: Pikachu try and see if you can sense where Umbreon will pop up.

Pikachu did just that and he was ready for Umbreon. The ground started to shake when Gary called out an order that caught Ash off guard.

Gary: Umbreon Hit Pikachu with Shadow Ball.

The ball of Dark Energy hit its mark perfectly seeing as both Pikachu and Ash were caught off guard. Pikachu was still standing however which shocked everyone except Ash. This Electric Mouse was refusing to go down without putting up a really good fight.

Gary: Umbreon hit Pikachu with Quick attack

Ash: Pikachu counter combining Quick attack with Extreme speed.

As the to Pokemon charged each other Pikachu over powered Umbreon easily thanks to the added speed. However Umbreon got back up and tried to counter with Quick attack again only to be over powered once again. Umbreon tried to more time each time ending the same way as the last. Finally Gary decided to kick things up a notch.

Gary: Umbreon start combining Quick Attack and Extreme speed same as Pikachu.

Umbreon did so and this left both Pokemon constantly charging each other with equal force. Umbreon was starting to feel worn out while Pikachu as simply running on will Power alone.

Ash: I gotta end this soon for Pikachu's sake.

Gary: Ok Umbreon time to end this Use Shadow Tackle.

Ash: Pikachu counter with Volt Tackle.

As the two charged each other they went and rammed into each other at full speed both mustering every ounce of power they could into those attacks. When the smoke cleared the two found themselves locked in a intense star down. When suddenly Umbreon fell down out cold followed shortly by Pikachu. Both trainers ran over to their pokemon to check on them.

Gary: Ok way to go Umbreon you deserve a good long rest.

Ash: Pikachu you ok buddy! Here take a rest.

With that Gary recalled Umbreon and Ash let Pikachu rest by his side on the other end of the battlefield. With this over It was time for the next round to begin.

Ash: Ok! Charizard I choose you.

With that both Paul and Drew were shocked to see not just some average Charizard but, a 9 foot tall 1300 pound Dragon.

Gary: Ok how about battle of Dragons. Flygon your up buddy.

With Gary"s Flygon came out and it like Charizard was bigger then your average Flygon. The two Dragons stared each other down ready to face off on a battle that would probably rival the Pikachu versus Aggron battle. Who will win only time will tell.

Ok that is the End I'll try to update when I have a little less on my plate. Right now I have a lot. I'm just trying to get some of it down so I can calm my over worked brain a little.
