"Pokémon Attack"
'Thoughts'
"Telepathy"
As the sun rose up in the Lilly of the Valley Conference, sending the merchants into action as they set up their stalls. In the forest a stood a man with a black cloak with a 2 sparring Lucario's and two other men. The man then said, "You got to focus if you want to tap into your aura Dean." Dean once again closes his eyes and took a deep breath, he opens his right hand and visualized an aura sphere forming in his hand. When he looked he noticed that he had indeed started to form one. "I did it," he says excitedly, "I did it." Ash then said, "Good, now focus onto steadying it." However, Dean was too excited, and his aura sphere started to crackle and shake in his hand. "What the," he's cut off when it shoots forward on its own and flies in an erratic fashion in the direction of the market stalls.
"Crap," Ash mumbles under his breath before shooting his own at it causing it to explode. Ash then looked at Dean and said, "We'll work on that later Dean," Ash says. Dean looks at the ground in disappointment, "Come on Lucario," one of the bipedal Pokémon walks forward and taps on the Pokéball on Deans waist. When his Lucario approached him Ash asked, "How'd it go bud?" and Lucario responded by saying, "It went ok master, but he's still struggling to control his aura." Ash then said, "So is Dean, and I thought I said to quit calling me master." Lucario smirks before returning itself to the Pokéball. Ash then sighed and walked over to the two Kalos natives and asked them, "You guys ready?" and they both said, "Yeah," Zep then said, "I think match ups should be up by now, if not now, then soon." Ash then said, "Let's go then."

After reaching the Pokémon center Ash and Dean left their Lucario's with Nurse Joy for them to be checked out. "Morning boys," Cynthia says walking in with Chloe and John. The two Kanto Natives looked at Cynthia and said, "Morning Cynthia." As he hugged his daughter, Ash said, "Morning babe. Hey John," and John replied, "Hey Ash, how did training go?" Ash told John that Dean and his Lucario are progressing, slowly but surely. Just then, Nurse Joy came back, and she said with a smile, "Your Lucario are fine, they just need some rest is all." Ash and Dean took their Lucario back and they said, "Thank you Nurse Joy." Nurse Joy then said, "Battle match ups are now being shown in the lobby." They nod and head out, and when Dean sees the Match ups, he smiled but then frowns. Chloe looked at her 'Uncle' and asked, "What's wrong Uncle Dean?" Dean looked at Chloe and said, "I'm happy because I get to fight Brock, but that's the only battle I have today." Then Zep said with a smirk, "I get to battle Misty." Ash then said in a dark way, "Destroy them, they hurt the worst." Both Zep and Dean looked at Ash and said determinedly, "You got it Ash." Slowly their friends joined them and check their match ups. Max then looked at Dean and said, "Looks like you have a little while before your battle today Dean." Dean then said, "Let's to get some breakfast." Ash laughed and said, "Let's go then."

"That was some good food," Dean says patting his stomach. Zep patted Dean on the back and said, "I'll agree there." Then Cynthia said, "Well we better hurry if we don't want to be late for your battle. They walk over and Dean and Zep talk strategies, "So I plan to use Kirlia to get some more experience." Zep looked at Dean and asked, "The one Ash gave you?" Dean nodded his head and he said, "I think after this battle I'll evolve him if he's ready." Zep smiled and said, "That'll definitely be good experience." Dean then smirked and said, "And if I defeat him with a little Kirlia, he'll definitely be humiliated. And to help, I'll try and file him up a bit." Zep then warned Dean, "Just don't do too much, you don't want to be kicked from the tournament for harassment." Dean gave Zep a smirk before he said, "I won't," Dean says with a smirk and walks into his waiting area while everyone else heads to the stands. He tosses a Pokéball and a Pokémon with green legs, and hair, and a white shirt and shirt with red horns appear. The Pokémon looked at his trainer and asked, "Kirl?" Dean then said, "Hey Kirlia, I'm using you for this battle, so I need you be prepared. We're going up against one of the traitors, so the opponent might be stronger, but I'm counting on you to humiliate him. Ok?" The Pokémon nodded his head with a smile. Dean then said smiling, "Good," Dean then returned Kirlia to Pokémon.
-X-
When the battle started, the referee said, "Let the battle between Brock Stone of Pewter City and Dean of the Kalos Elite Four begin, trainers please send out your Pokémon." Dean grabbed Kirlia's Pokéball an he said, "Crush him Kirlia," as Brock said, "Go Steelix." Dean called out the first move an he said, "Use Brick Break." Then Brock called out, "Stop it with Iron Tail." Dean then said with a smirk, "Teleport." The little Kirlia disappears as Brock's Steelix slams its tail into the ground. Kirlia reappears above the metal snake Pokémon's head, smashing its glowing hand into Steelix. The Steelix groans in pain from the hit causing Brock to growl in annoyance. Brock then told Steelix, "Use Dig." As Steelix went underground, Dean said, "Keep guard Kirlia, when you think it's coming use Teleport again." Then Steelix appeared and tried to slam into the small Pokémon and manages to hit its leg as it teleported away. Dean then told Kirlia, "Use Psychic." The metal snake is surrounded in a blue hue as it is lifted into the air, "Explode it," Dean says as the hue around Steelix grows brighter before it explodes sending the steel Pokémon to the ground. Brock growls again seeing his strongest Pokémon getting beaten by a little Kirlia. Dean then decided to taunt Brock and he said, "What's the matter Brock? Too busy thinking about how to get in another girls pants instead of the battle?" Brock growls "Dig." Dean then said, "Upset I said that? My good buddy Ash, used to tell me about you," Brock flinches and freezes upon hearing that name, Dean continued talking, "He used to tell me all about your fails at love from Kanto all the way to Sinnoh. It was quite funny, he would also tell me about how he looked up to you like a brother." Brock growled, then froze, feeling slightly guilty. Dean then said with mocking sadness, "It's a real shame he passed away, I would've liked to congratulate him on his progress during Kalos." Brock growls knowing that his opponent was just trying to mess with him. "Use Iron Head into Iron Tail."
Before Kirlia can react Steelix appears from the ground in front it, smashing its steel head into its stomach launching it backwards before smashing it once again with its hardened tail. Kirlia cries out in pain after getting hit from two super effective moves and being thrown into the wall. Kirlia drops from the indentation it made upon contact and lands on the ground in a crouch. Brock then cried out angrily, "Hit it again before it can recover," Steelix's head hardened again over and rushed over to the injured Kirlia, as Dean called out, "Kirlia Use Teleport!" Before Kirlia can execute the move, it was smashed into the wall by Steelix, the bigger Pokémon pulled back before smashing it again but with its tail gain. It towered over the injured Pokémon. The small Pokémon was on his hands and knees as he said, "Kirlia!"
"Hyper Beam," Brock shouted angrily causing the crowd to gasp, knowing that if that move hits Kirlia would most likely not survive. Dean shouted for Kirlia in distress, and he tried to return his Pokémon to its ball, but the beam of red energy is blocked by Steelix. Making a split-second decision, Dean abandons his trainer box and runs over to his Pokémon calling out its name in distress. He leaps over Steelix's tail as it tries to swat him away and jumps over his Pokémon curling his body around it with hopes to protect him. The beam is fired before anyone can react and an explosion along with the pained scream of Dean is heard. Zep is the first of Dean's friends to jump over the wall and rush over to the injured trainer. He is soon followed by the rest including May and Dawn. The two girls make their way over to the injured trainer, while Ash makes his way towards Brock. Ash then shouted at Brock, "I'll kill you! I'll kill you for this!" Before he can charge the man Paul and John rush over and grab his arms, "Let me go!" The others hurry over to Ash hoping to calm him down. May looked at Dean and asked worriedly, "Is he ok?" and Zep replied, "Unless I can get him to a hospital I don't know," Zep then ripped off part of Dean's tattered shirt before wrapping it around his back hoping to stop the blood flow. May takes off her bandanna and wraps it over a gash on his forehead. Zep quickly grabs one of Deans Poke balls and tosses it revealing Dean's Gardevoir. Zep then said urgently, "Gardevoir, I need you to teleport us to the hospital asap." The Pokémon nodded her head and her eyes glow blue before teleporting the 4 humans to the hospital. When they got there, Zep called out urgently, "I NEED A DOCTOR NOW!" A few nurses rush over and see the unconscious and injured Dean. "I need a medical bed stat," a nurse calls out as a team of Doctors rush out of the emergency care unit. They load the injured teen onto the bed and wheel him away behind the doors they came from. A nurse then said, "We'll do everything we can, so explain what happened." Zep started explaining what happened, Zep said, "He was battling in the tournament when his opponent became aggressive and tried to kill Dean's Pokémon." My finished explaining seeing Zep pause in the middle of speaking and she said, "But before his opponents Pokémon could finish off his with a Hyper Beam he ran forward and curled his body around his Pokémon's in hopes of saving its life."
"Ok," the nurse says writing what she was told on a clip boar before disappearing behind the doors Dean was taken through. Zep then handed May and Dawn Kirlia's Pokéball and said, "Get Kirlia healed please." They nodded their heads and run out of the doors to heal the Pokémon. Zep makes his way to the waiting area and takes a seat before burying his head in his hands and softly crying. A few minutes later Zep gets a text from an unknown number, "We're going to stay here while Kirlia gets healed. Let us know when you get an update on Dean. - Dawn" He replies with a quick "ok". Zep then added Dawn's number into his contacts list. About 10 minutes later Chloe runs into the hospital and over to Zep. She hugs onto him as Cynthia comes running after her. Chloe then aske Zep, "Is Uncle Dean going to be ok?" Sadly, Zep said, "I don't know Chloe, He's been in there for around 15 minutes." Taking a seat next to Zep, Cynthia said, "We'll find out soon enough Chloe." Chloe nodded her head and sat on Cynthia's lap, causing Cynthia to smile
-X-
About five minutes after Chloe and Cynthia showed up, Ash and the rest of the group show up. Ash asked Zep, "Any word on his condition?" Zep shook his head sadly, causing the group to look down sadly and take a seat around the room. John then put his phone away and he told Ash and Zep, "I just got word from Officer Jenny, they have Brock detained and are waiting for us." Ash nodded his head and Zep said, "He's going to pay, they all will pay." John looked at Zep and said, "Zep, don't let your want for revenge to cloud your judgement." Zep looked at John and said, "I'll never understand how you can keep your emotions in check?" John then said, "Just something I had to do while on my journey throughout Kanto, no matter how many times I lost a match, no matter how many times I wanted to call it quits, I trained harder, and I won the rematches against the people I lost to. What I'm trying to say is that you need to keep your composure and defeat Misty in your battle." Zep smiled and said, "You know I will, for Dean."
-X-
20 minutes after Ash showed up a doctor walked out of the emergency care unit, and said "May I please speak to the one who brought in Dean?" Zep quickly stands up and walks towards the doctor, "How is he Doc?" The doctor smiled and said, "He'll live," and the group sighed in relief. Ash then asked the doctor, "How's his condition?" to which the doctor replied, "We managed to stitch his back and stopped to blood flow. He also has a broken arm, a few cracked ribs, and some spinal damage that will heal over time, but he'll have to take a prescription medicine to ease the pain." Max then asked the Doctor, "Will he be able to return to the tournament," but the doctor said, "Sadly no, because of his back he is to stay bedridden for the duration of the tournament unless he is approved by us to leave. And he will have to take some physical therapy to help his back heal once he's up." Cynthia thanked the doctor and Chloe asked, "When can we see him?" The Doctor looked at Chloe and said, "He is being transported to a room right now, so in a few minutes I'll take you all to his room." Before taking a seat again, Ash said, "Thank you doctor."
-X-
A few minutes later the doctor returned and told the group to follow. The packed into elevator and soon arrived on the fourth floor. The walked to the end of the hall and entered a room. Entering the room the first thing the noticed was the pale, passed out Dean laying on a white bed under a thick, fuzzy blanket. He had a tube running from his wrist to a machine which was displaying different rates about his body. On the other side was a heart rate monitor beeping steadily. On the far side of the room was a window taking up the length of the wall, showing a great view of the tournament field and the ocean. Zep walked over and grabbed a chair from the corner and sat next to Dean, he was soon joined by John, Ash, Cynthia, and Chloe, as the rest sat on the bench under the window. They sat in silence as they look on their injured friend. His skin was paled, but not to an extreme, he had a bandage wrapped around his forehead, his left arm was in a cast, and his torso was wrapped up. The only sounds that filled the room were the beeping of the monitor next to Dean, Dean's quiet ragged breaths, and the soft breathing of everyone else in the room. After sitting in the room for a while everyone slowly left the room, leaving the people closest to Dean left. Cynthia then said, "Come on Chloe, let's go get your uncle some flowers." Chloe nodded her head and walked out with Cynthia and walked out with Cynthia. Ash then said, "I'm heading to the police station to see how long I can get Brock locked up for." John looked at Ash and said, "I'll go with you, I want to punch Brock for what he did." Then Zep stood up and said, "I'm going too, those bastards will pay for what they've done." Ash and John nodded their heads and the three males leave their sleeping friend alone.

"Time to take this bitch down," Zep says coldly as he grabs a poke ball and walks into the stadium. Ash nodded his head and headed into the stands to watch the battle. Zep walked onto the field and spots Misty waving to her friends and blowing kisses to her boyfriend. Zep then said annoyed, "If you done being sappy let's get this over with," causing Misty rolls her eyes. "Let the battle between Misty Waterflower of Cerulean City and Zepplin Pierce of the Kalos Elite Four Begin," The ref says, "Trainers, please select your Pokémon." Misty then said, "Misty chooses Starmie," as she sent out her starfish like Pokémon. Zep then said as he sent out his Pokémon, "Let's go Venasaur, be fierce for Pierce." Misty called out the first move for the battle and she said, "Start off with Psychic." The gem of the water/psychic type Pokémon glows before a pink hue surrounds Venasaur. Still annoyed, Zep said, "Stop her with Vine Whip." Zep then watched his Pokémon easily breaks the psychic move and whips its opponent with the super effective move. Misty then said, "Rapid Spin," her Pokémon started to spin rapidly and head towards Venasaur. Zep sighed, raised his wrist and said, Zep sighs, "No reason for this, but let's do it." He taps the mega stone in his bracelet, a white aura strings out of the bracelet in four streams before going green and connecting with the band around Venasaur's leg. Zep then said, "With the bond we share, let our hearts become one. Gather strength from my own, AND MEGA EVOLVE!" A bright flash of light follows and when it disappears Venasaur has undergone another evolution. Its skin has become a lighter blue green than before, with 3 dark teal spots between its eyes and a pink flower on its forehead. The flower on its back has grown a few more big pink petals, while the base of the flower has gotten thicker. the leaves now stick out and hang down off the trunk, with four blueish leaves underneath them on its back. It also has four vines hanging above each green leaf. Zep then said, "Take her down with Razor Leaf." The big Pokémon shakes its back as leaves fall out and it whips them towards Starmie at a fast pace. The super effective move struck Starmie knocking the star Pokémon back. Zep then said, "Now use Solar Beam." A small ball of energy forms above Venasaur's flower, and Misty said, "Use Ice Beam quickly," Misty calls out urgently. The back part of Starmie spins as a ball of ice appears before shooting out a beam of it at the large grass/poison Pokémon. Zep then said in a bored tone, "Release." The Solar Beam fires ripping through the Ice Beam and hitting Starmie causing an explosion sending the water/psychic Pokémon into the wall as it's gem loses its glow signifying it's knocked out. The referee then said, "Starmie is unable to battle, therefore. The winner is Zepplin Pierce of the Kalos Elite Four." Zep walks out as the crowd explodes into cheers. Misty stops her foot and storms out, mad that she lost.

After a short walk Zep, Chloe, Ash, John, and Cynthia walk into the elevator and rode it up to the fourth floor. When the elevator opened they walked to the end of the hall and opened the door to Dean's room. They see the t.v. on showing the results of Zep's battle. Dean looks over and sees his closest friends, "Hey guys," he says with a pained smile. Smiling back, Chloe ran over to her uncle's bed, climbing on to give him a hug as she said, "Uncle Dean!" hugging her with his good arm, Dean said, "Hey Chloe." Smiling, Ash said, "Nice to see you awake," and dean replied, "Yeah, I woke up just in time to watch Zep's match start. Nice job by the way." Smirking, Zep said, "Thanks," Zep then asked, "How are you feeling man?"
"Fantastic," he replies sarcastically while rolling his eyes, "just peachy." The five laughed, causing Dean to say, "I'm hurt, both figuratively and literally." Cynthia then said, "You took quite the hit there." Dean then asked Zep, "How's Kirlia?" and Zep told Dean in a Partial lie, "I ran him to the Pokécenter after dropping you off here, I'll check on him when we leave." Smiling, Dean said, "Thanks bro." Dean then laid back down, yawned, and said, "I'm going to take a nap." The five visitors then said, "Sleep well Dean," they then walked out of the room the let their friend have his peace.
-X-
A knock on the door sounds through the room, "It's open," Dean calls out as he continues to watch tv. The door opens revealing a smiling brunette and blue haired girl. "Hey Dean," May says walking over to the bed with some flowers and a balloon, "How are you feeling?" Dean responded, "Sore, very sore." Then Dawn said, "I bet, that was a hard hit you took." Dean then said, "So I've been told, so what made you come visit?" May told Dean, "Zep text us saying that you woke up, so we thought we'd come visit." Dean smiled and said, "You know, we never got to hang out like we planned." May then said, "Your right, wanna chat for a while?" Sarcastically, Dean said, "Sorry but I'm busy." Causing then two girls to laugh and May said with an eye roll, "Very funny Dean." They three then heard a voice come from the Door and the voice said, "What the fuck are you two doing here?" the three looked at the door and saw John standing there. May stood up and said in a panicked tone, "J…J…John, what are you doing here?" John, in a pissed mood, said, "I came to check on Dean, only to find out that two traitors got here before me. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have security escort you out." Dawn then said, "Because we never wanted to betray Ash. We were forced to, they would have killed us and told our Pokémon that he killed us." John's anger was washed away by watching May and Dawn about to cry, he felt...sorry for the two of them. John then sighed and said, "Alright, I'll let you to talk to him. Like I said, I only came here to check on him, and he looks fine to me, see you guys later." John then walked out of the hospital Room.
-X-
So the girls and Dean sit around for about an hour or so just chatting and getting to know each other. " We better get going," Dawn says to May. As Dawn got up to walk, Dean said, "Bye girls and the Bluenette said, "Bye Dean, hope you get better soon." When Dawn left, May then said, "Bye Dean," she then kissed his forehead and quickly rushes out of the room blushing. Dean stares at the closed door dumbfounded with a blush on his cheeks, "Did she just?" He continued to stare for a few minutes before smiling, "So cute," he whispers to himself, before returning to watching tv.
-X-
Throughout the next couple of days Dean had many visitors, all from his friends and a couple from May and Dawn. He enjoyed when someone came to visit, it took his mind off the fact that he couldn't do anything but was bored when they left. The days went by his friends battling random trainers, but surprisingly, none faced the traitors or each other yet. And today was the last day for the 1v1 battles. Dean then asked, "So who's battling today?" and Zep replied, "I believe Paul and Trip are battling each other." Then Chloe joined the conversation and she said, "I'm battling Tony as well." Dean then teased Chloe by saying, "So little Chloe's battling her boyfriend?" Chloe then quickly blushed and said, "W-what? I'm not, we're not, he's not my boyfriend." Zep then said, taking attention away from Chloe, "Mmhmm, anyway, Cynthia is battling some random trainer again, and I think that's all." Then Dean said, "Cool, I'm definitely looking forward to Paul and Trips match, as well as yours Chloe." Ash then said, "You need to get going for your match Chloe." Chloe nodded her head and said, "Bye Uncle Dean," Chloe then sent out her Gardevoir and teleporting herself, Ash, John, Zep, and Cynthia away to the stadium. Chloe quickly makes her way into the stadium and onto the field. She looks across the field and sees her opponent, "Good luck Tony!" She calls out to him waving.
Tony smiled and called back, "You too Chloe." The Referee then said, "Let the battle between Tony of the Hoenn Elite Four and Chloe of the Kalos Elite Four begin, trainers please select your Pokémon." Grabbing the Pokéball of his choice, Tony said, "Let's go Torkal," sending out the fiery turtle Pokémon. Like Tony, Chloe grabbed the Pokéball of the Pokémon she's going to use an she said, "Shine bright Gardevoir," sending out her shiny Gardevoir, causing the crowd gasps and cheer loudly at the appearance of the shiny. Tony called out the first move and he said, "Start off with Flamethrower." As the Flamethrower shot towards Gardevoir, Chloe said, "Dodge then use Psychic," Chloe counters, her shiny Pokémon teleported out of the way of the Flamethrower and lifts Torkal with Psychic. Gardevoir then slammed Torkal into the ground and soon tosses it to the side before teleporting to her trainer. Tony then called out to Torkal and he said, "Torkal, Use Overheat." The Fire type Pokémon opens its mouth and send out a burst of flames straight for Gardevoir. Then Chloe called out to her Pokémon and said, "Gardevoir use Psychic to divert the Overheat." Gardevior's eyes glow blue and the flames stop in their tracks surrounded by a blue hue, and is thrown to the side, as it connects with the wall it splits off sending flames everywhere. Chloe then said, "Now use Shadow Ball." Gardevoir forms a dark purple ball of energy in her hands before launching it at her opponent. Before Torkal can dodge its hit with a Shadow Ball, knocking it back a couple feet. Then Tony said, "Torkal, use Flamethrower," and Chloe said, "Rapid fire Shadow Ball," as Torkal fired a stream of flames, Gardevoir fires Shadow Ball after Shadow Ball. Slowly the Shadow Balls over power the Flamethrower and hit Torkal. After each hit smoke is thrown into the air, after about 5 Shadow Balls a cloud of smoke hovers over Torkal. As the smoke fades it reveals Torkal laying on the ground with swirls for eyes. The Referee then said, Torkal is unable to continue, Gardevior is the winner, meaning the battle goes to Chloe of the Kalos Elite Four." The crowd cheered as both Tony and Chloe recalled their Pokémon. The two then met in the middle and Tony said, "That was a good battle." Chloe nodded her head and said, "I agree, want to meet up later for ice cream." Tony nodded his head and said, "Sure, after Paul and Trip's battle?" Chloe nodded her head and the two shook hands and exited the Arena. Next up was Paul and Trip, that as going to be an interesting battle.
