LK9512: Sorry this chappie was delayed my dear readers. I was busy hiding under my bed yesterday.
Kiryu: Just do the disclaimer. :(
LK9512: Fine. I don't own pokemon. If I did, then I would have Cameron formerly known as Kotetsu thrown off a cliff.
Kiryu: For those of you who don't know who Cameron is then he is the guy Ash loses to in the Unova Higaki Conferance quarter finals in the anime.
LK9512: But don't worry, I intend for that derpe-dex holder to be put in his place in my fic.
Lily of the Valley Conferance, Red Stadium.
Just moments ago Tobias had called out his starter pokemon, a Shiny Tyranitar and now thanks to it's special ability Sand Stream the entire field, and now much of the stadium was covered in a very powerful Sandstorm. Ash swallowed hard, and recalled Squirtle. thinking about wether or not to use his last pokemon.
After a few seconds that felt like a few minutes Ash sent out his next pokemon, "Go."
"Tyranitar! Your in charge for this battle!" Tobias called out as he crossed his arms under his chest and closed his eyes. There was no way of knowing if Tyranitar had heard what Tobias said through the roaring Sandstorm.
"You got this!" Ash yelled through the sandstorm hoping his pokemon heard him. A barely audiable grunt is his response.
"So let me see if I got this right. They are letting their pokemon do whatever they want?" Barry asked confused.
"Pretty much." Brock answered as Dawn was trying, and failing to keep sand from getting in her hair.
"Isn't that against the rules?" Barry asked pulling out some googles from out of nowhere.
"To be honest I'm not sure." Brock answered back again.
"Plech! Sand in my mouth!" Dawn exclaimed only to realise she was getting more sand in her mouth seconds later.
Within the Sandstorm.
'I won't let you down Ash.' Gabite thought to himself as he scanned through the Sandstorm. His eyes landed on a large figure approaching him, 'There he is. I don't think he has seen me.'
Without speaking a word Gabite dove into the ground barely making a sound. Sadly that was enough to get Tyranitar's attention. Tyranitar ran to where he heard the sound, and stopped when all he found was a hole in the ground.
Tyranitar closed his eyes, and began listening, waiting for his opponent to emerge from the ground and attack.
'Gotcha.' Gabite thought smirking as he emerged from the ground a few feet away, and lunged at Tyranitar from behind with his glowing white claw signaling he was using Brick Break. Sadly Tyranitar retaliated before Gabite could get the chance, and bit down on Gabite's arm with glowing white, icy cold fangs bared.
Gabite howled in pain but sadly his cry of pain was not heard through the Sandstorm. biting back the pain Gabite continued his earlier attack and slugged Tyranitar hard in the face with Brick Break. Tyranitar still wouldn't release Gabite so Gabitew continued to repeatedly punch Tyranitar in the face with Brick Break hoping it would either KO the Dark/Rock-type or at least get him to release Gabite.
This went on for several minutes as slowly but surely the Ice Fang was slowly winning in sapping Gabite of his strength, 'Damnit! Think Gabite! What would Ash do in a situation like thi- That's it!'
Gabite started charging up a Draco Meteor smirking at Tyranitar who widened his eyes realising what Gabite was up to. Seconds later Tyranitar released Gabite at last, and swing out a glowing white claw at Gabite who leaped back a few feet, and released a more concentrated version of Draco Meteor that was just one large boulder sized glowing orange sphere of dragon energy.
A powerful explosion followed roaring out barely breaking out of the Sandstorm. A few moments later the smoke began to clear within the Sandstorm as Gabite opened his, and lowered his arms as the soft yellow glow of Endure left him.
'Maybe that Endure wasn't necessary.' Gabite thought checking himself out seeing he had only a few nicks, and cuts, but soon noticed the fact his arm was encased in a thin sheet of ice. Gabite quickly freed his arm using a Brick Break on the ice.
'Much better. Now where are you?' Gabite thought again as he searched the Sandstorm looking for Tyranitar, 'I know he is still concious or else this Sandstorm would have dissipated by now.'
Gabite's eyes landed on a glowing purple, and black silhoutte that had to be Tyranitar using a move. Before Gabite could dive into the ground to escape a purple, and black shockwave shot out and struck him. This time Gabite howled out in pain as his senses became flooded in agony, "What the hell is this!"
"You like that? That one is my Spite-Dark Pulse combo attack." Tyranitar explained to Gabite emerging from the Sandstorn beat up, and sporting some dents in his armpr here, and there. There were quite a few dents in his head, and arms probably from the Brick Breaks, and having to defend himself from the Draco Meteor.
"Ready for round 2?" Tyranitar asked smirking.
"No. I'm out!" Gabite replied as he dove into the ground, and retreated back to Ash.
Lily of the Valley Conferance, Red Stadium.
Gabite emerged moments later in front of Ash and quickly tapped his pokeball on the button with his claw sparing a brief glance before disappearing into the red light.
"I'm guessing the battle didn't go well." Ash stated glancing at Gabite's pokeball before he reached for another one deep in thought, 'This Sandstorm needs to go. Maybe if I can close those 'ports' Tyranitar has where the sand seem to be coming from. It's up to you to get the job done pal.'
"Glalie I choose you!" Ash called out aloud as he released his next pokemon out in front of him.
"Glalie! Gla?" Glalie asked confused seeing the Sandstorm in front of him. Glalie turned and gave Ash a questioning look.
"Glalie there is a Tyranitar in there. It is very strong, and it created this Sandstorm. I need you to go into this Sandstorm and seal it's ports up with your Ice-type attacks. I should warn you that he is a Rock, and Dark-type, but he should be weakened from fighting Gabite. I'm counting on you okay?" Ash asked Glalie after explaining the situation.
"Glalie!" Glalie nodded back at Ash before turning, and heading into the Sandstorm slowly uncertain if he could bring down such a powerful opponent.
"Pika!" Pikachu called out to Glalie. Glalie turned to Pikachu with what looked like a shocked look on his face before smirking, and nodding again before heading back into the Sandstorm.
"What did you say to him Pikachu?" Ash asked Pikachu curious.
"Pika. Pika pi." Pikachu replied, Ash nodded his head understanding that it was probably words of encouragement for Glalie.
Back in the Sandstorm.
'Why wasn't I born a female?' Glalie thought to himself getting depressed, 'This would be so much easier if I was a part Ghost-type. Maybe I should ask Arceus why he didn't make Glalie's part Dark-type. That would probably help me out right now, right?'
'You can do it Glalie. We believe in you.' Glalie rolled his eyes at that comment, 'Your not the one battling you rotten little mou- There he is, man is he huge. What is Ash thinking having me go against that. I was trained to fight this Tobias guy's Latios not an oversized shiny Tyranitar.'
Glalie stopped a few feet in front of Tyranitar who quickly turned around to look the Ice-type in the eyes, "Ready to get crushed?" Tyranitar asked his eyes gleaming in joy looking forward to what was about to happen.
"Not really." Glalie replied feeling the opposite of what Tyranitar was feeling as he looked Tyranitar over with an inquisitive look, 'There is 6 'ports' in all. I just have to seal them up with a strong Ice-type attack. Man I wished I had kept Ice Beam.'
"Weird." Tyranitar said aloud confused by Glalie's behavior before shrugging it off as he prepared to start using Chip Away, "Let's go!"
"Let's not, and say we did." Glalie replied as he started disappeared in a blur as soon many other Glalie's surrounded Tyranitar on all sides all preparing to charge up a brown sphere of energy in his mouth. Tyranitar undaunted by the Double Team started swinging out, and destroyed the many after images of Glalie looking for the real one as he was building up more, and more power from the repeated use of Chip Away.
The real Glalie was safe up in the air above Tyranitar as he finished charging his Weather Ball attack, 'Thank you mother for being a Vanniluxe, and leaving this behind for me.'
Glalie fired the Weather Ball at Tyranitar who turned just in time to recieve a Weather Ball to the face. A explosion followed as eventually the smoke cleared to reveal a pissed off expression on Tyranitar's face, "Not funny."
"I'm not laughing." Glalie shot back deadpanning before he fired a small ominous glowing purple sphere at Tyranitar who didn't have enough time to deflect it.
"I really hate Shadow Ball." Tyranitar growled annoyed before he started glowing a similar purple, and black aura like before.
"Then this is going to really piss you off." Glalie told Tyranitar as he began to inhale, the temperature near him began to drop.
"What are you doi-" Before Tyranitar could finish Glalie unleashed a breath of freezing cold air at Tyranitar.
As the cold breath of air reached Tyranitar he felt nothing for a second, "Ha! That didn't even hurt at all! My turn you little piece of shi- COLD!"
Tyranitar's focus broke, and the purple, and black aura surrounding him dissipated as he was to busy reeling in pain from the Frost Breath.
Glalie quickly flew behind Tyranitar, and fired another Frost Breath directly at the 2 ports on his back.
Soon the 'ports' froze over in a thin sheet of ice, "Stop that!" Tyranitar yelled in anger swinging out, and trying to hit Glalie with Chip Away only for Glalie to float back a few inches before blurring into another Double Team.
'3 down, 3 to go.' Glalie thought to himself as he had put some distance while Tyranitar was dealing with his after images taking note that one of the 'ports' on his front had frozen over as well from the first Frost Breath.
'I should mix things up a bit so he doesn't figure out what I'm up to.' Glalie thought before firing another Rock-type version of Weather Ball at Tyranitar who dodged it in just in time.
"I'll crush you!" Tyranitar roared as he started charging towards Glalie ignoring the pain from the Ice-type's Frost Breath.
Glalie quickly flew up higher into the air to avoid the enraged Dark/Rock-types wild swings, and replied with another Shadow Ball to the face.
"Moron." Glalie muttered as he released another Frost Breath managing to freeze 2 more 'ports', but before he could get away Tyranitar grabbed Glalie, and flung him into the ground. Hard.
What followed was an onslaught of Chip Away's as Tyranitar let out all the anger he had towards the Ice-type that thought he could defeat him still igoring the pain from the 3rd Frost Breath, and not noticing that the Sandstorm was weakening, and dissipating.
Eventually Tyranitar let up, and Glalie took that chance to escape thanks to Double Team, "That's it I'm out!" Glalie announced as he flew off back to Ash like Gabite did before.
"Coward!" Tyranitar roared as he calmed at last panting in exhaustion, 'This just isn't my day is it?' Tyranitar thought to himself as he looked up into the sky, and widened his eyes in realization.
Lily of the Valley Conferance, Red Stadium.
"Thank Arceus this Sandstorm is letting up, right Brock?" Dawn asked.
"Yep." Brock answered focusing more on the battle as the Sandstorm was indeed weakening.
"Look's like Ash's plan is working." Paul announced confusing Dawn, and Barry.
"What plan?" Barry asked pocketing his goggles.
"The Sandstorm is weakening." Brock told them pointing out the fact he could now make out a large shape in the Sandstorm.
"Thank you Glalie." Ash told the Ice-type as he sent out Squirtle again.
"Squirtle!" Squirtle announced as he donned his sunglasses, and prepared to enter the new Sandstorm, but was stopped by Pikachu.
"Squirtle before you go in there you should know that there is a Tyranitar. Glalie, and Gabite have managed to soften Tyranitar up. It's up to you to either finish him or freeze the last of his 'ports'." Ash told to Squirtle completely serious.
"Squirtle, squirt." Squirtle replied saluting Ash before turning, and charging into the Sandstorm once more.
Inside the Sandstorm.
Squirtle stopped about a couple feet away from Tyranitar who was busy trying to use Chip Away on himself?
'What the heck is he doing?' Squirtle asked himself confused until he noticed the ice covering his 'ports'.
"Arceus damn, stubby arms!" Tyranitar muttered under his breath in a frantic tone having caught onto what that Glalie was up to the whole time during their battle as he tried to break the ice. (Pun intended.)
Squirtle shrugged before he released an Icy Wind to get Tyranitar's attention. It did the trick as Tyranitar shivered, froze in realization as his last 'port' froze, then growled before turning, and glaring at Squirtle.
"What do you want amphibian?" Tyranitar asked suppressing a hiss.
"I'm a reptile." Squirtle replied deadpanning.
"Whatever." Tyranitar shot back before charging at Squirtle Ice Fangs bared. (No pun intended this time.)
Squirtle quickly withdrew into his shell as it took on a metallic sheen, moments before Tyranitar bit down on Squirtle's shell before launching the Water-type into the air.
Before gravity could take effect Squirtle propelled himself into the air by firing a Hydro Pump at Tyranitar, and following up with another Frost Breath that froze the large puddle around Tyranitar effectively holding him in place, "Dammit!"
For a moment Squirtle had escaped the Sandstorm before getting pulled back in with gravity, "What comes up, must come down!" Squirtle declared as he spun into a Rapid Spin.
Sadly before Squirtle could get the chance to bring Tyranitar down once, and for all Tyranitar released his Spite-Dark Pulse combo. The purple, and black shockwave sent Squirtle flying straight into the arena wall.
The Sandstorm had finally passed but everyone was focused on the indention in the arena wall where Squirtle was in, his condition being clouded by the smoke waiting to see if he was still standing. Eventually the smoke had cleared, and revealed Squirtle unconcious.
"Squirtle is unable to battle! Tyranitar is the winner! Ash Ketchum send out your next pokemon!" The referee announced glancing at Ash.
"Squirtle return!" Ash called as the Water-type returned to his pokeball whispering words of thanks to the Water type before looking at Tobias's Tyranitar, and it's trainer who had opened his eyes, and was pondering over recalling the Dark/Rock-type.
"Pikachu you ready to end this?" Ash asked his partner/best friend.
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded as his cheeks sparked.
"All right. Pikachu I choose you!" Ash announced as Pikachu charged onto the battlefield.
"Tyranitar retur-" Before Tobias could finish Ash ordered his next attack.
"Pikachu Volt Tackle then Iron Tail!" Ash announced.
"Pika!" Pikachu replied as he started running full speed towards Tyranitar becoming enshrouded in electricity as the electricity changed from yellow to blue, and then started flowing into his tail that took on a metalic sheen. The sight that followed was that of Pikachu with a shining silver lightning bolt tail radiating electricity, and power froze Tobias, the audience, and Tyranitar in place.
Time slowed down as Pikachu sprinted towards Tyranitar, and leapt into the air. Tyranitar snapped out of his revelrie, and glared up at Pikachu as he lunged forward in an attempt to stop the Electric-type's attack. But it was just an attempt as Pikachu Volt Tackle boosted Iron Tail struck home.
KABOOM!
A massive explosion enveloped the arena as smoke soon took it's place Tyranitar emerged from the smoke as it flew through the air into the arena wall. Tyranitar emerged from the crater in the wall panting heavily exhausted as his armor sported many cracks, and dents.
Tyranitar glared at Pikachu with what strength he had left before he grunted in pain, and fell to the ground. A silence decended on the stadium for a few moments as everyone stood shocked to see Tobias's starter pokemon had been defeated at last. The referee was the first to snap out of it.
"Tyranitar is unable to battle! Pikachu is the winner! Tobias send out your next pokemon!"
Ash beamed widely as Pikachu turned, and returned to his trainer's side to be enveloped in a bear hug.
"Way to go Pikachu! You were awesome!" Ash said to his partner/best friend who was happy to be praised for his victory.
Tobias bit his tooth growing more, and more annoyed with how he was getting his ass handed to him by a kid. Tobias lowered his head as his bangs shadowed his face as he threw out his next pokemon, "Go Garchomp."
"Gar." The garchomp announced in a bored tone as she glared at her trainer's opponent. The fact that this Garchomp was a Shiny version of the normal Grachomp was ignored due to the fact this Garchomp's skin tone was only a darker shade of purple than the norm. (Seriously the Shiny version of Garchomp doesn't look that different than the normal version.)
Ash kept calm as he put Pikachu back on the ground as he sent out his next pokemon, "Go Bulbasuar."
"Bulbasuar!" Bulbasuar announced ready for battle.
"Bulbasuar Sunny Day!" Ash announced as Bulbasuar complied firing the glowing yellow sphere of solar energy into the sky towards the sun. The sun shined brightly once again.
Tobias smirked in response, and said calmly, "Fire Fang!"
Garchomp disappeared in a blur, and reappeared right in front of Bulbasuar with a mouthful of flaming fangs, it was to late for Ash to recall the startled Grass-type as he watched the Dragon-type lunge forward, and sink her fangs into Bulbasuar. Bulbasuar's cry of pain fell on deaf ears as Garchomp flung Bulbasaur into the air.
"Sand Tomb!" Tobias roared smirking widely as Garchomp trapped Bulbasaur within a spinning vortex of the leftover sand from the Sandstorm Tyranitar summoned.
"Bulbasuar get out of there!" Ash called out helplessly as Garchomp leaped into the air at speeds that Bulbasuar would never be able to meet.
"Fire Fang again!" Tobias announced one last time, Garchomp didn't hesitate to deliver the final blow as Bulbasuar cried out in pain again.
Silence returned once again as Garchomp landed on the ground gracefully, and released Bulbasuar.
"Bulbasuar is unable to battle! Garchomp is the winner! Ash Ketchum send out your next pokemon!" The referee announced as Ash recovered from the shock that one of the pokemon that has been by his side for so long could be defeated so quickly, and brutally.
"Return." Ash muttered sadly as he whispered a hurried apollogy to the Grass-type.
"Learned your place yet kid?" Tobias asked in a sarcastic tone repressing the urge to laugh.
Ash said nothing as he glared coldly at Tobias, and his Garchomp before his face became devoid of emotion, "Go Glalie."
Glalie said nothing as he took to the battlefield once again not being affected by the intense sunlight at all.
"I was planning on using this attack against your Latios..." Ash spoke in a tone devoid of emotion as he lowered his head. In response Glalie started glowing a cool grey aura.
"What the fu-" Tobias whispered as he repressed the urge to shiver as the temperature started to drop very fast.
"But you have left me no choice." Ash continued raising his head with a emotionless mask on his face.
He whispered 2 words.
"Sheer Cold."
LK9512: And that's Chapter 4.
Shinryu: Nice cliffy.
LK9512: Thanks. I intended for this to end kinda like this one episode of Bleach where Toshiro was getting overwhelmed by Halibel, and then they ended the episode with Toshiro saying "Hyoten Hoyourakasa" as he started glowing white energy. So I based this chappie's ending off of that episode.
Shinryu: Not very original you know?
LK9512: (Glares at Shinryu.) Don't make me kill you off.
Shinryu: Whatever. (Shrugs.) See ya next chappie folks. Don't forget to R & R. Peace!
