A Future Divine…Or Something Like That
Chapter 6: A Pokemon Master at Last Part 2
A/N: nothing really to say except- I don't own Pokemon, AAML4EVER, I like cheese, & I think that's about it! Enjoy chapter six or die, I mean, um…uh…oh, just read it!
"Ash? Ash, wake up!" yelled Misty
"What is it Misty?" yawned Ash
"Your match is about to begin! You need to get over there!"
"Naw, it's ok Misty. I found out I'm facing Gary next." Said Ash a little sleepily, getting up.
"No, your facing Gary now!!" yelled Misty throwing Ash out the door.
"What?!" yelled Ash
"Now get over there before you get disqualified!"
Ash got up off the ground & ran

/Welcome once again for the Quadrant C finals! (That's the Quadrant finals, not the League finals. Just clarifying). It's round 5, Quadrant C finals everyone! The match up is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town\ Ash appeared on one side /and Gary Oak also from Pallet Town!\ Gary appeared on the other side. /The rules are as they've been throughout the League. This will be a 3 on 3 match with a nine minute time limit. Neither trainer is allowed to switch out his or her Pokemon. The trainer with the most wins at the end of the match wins & will advance to the next round.\
"If both trainers are ready, then let the match begin!"
"Go! Sceptile!"
"Go! Arcanine!"
"Sceptile, Leaf blade!"
"Arcanine use - Arcanine!" yelled Gary as his Arcanine went smashing into the wall.
"Wow, this'll be over much quicker then I thought. Sceptile, use solar beam!"
"Whoa…um, Gary's Arcanine is unable to battle. Ash's Sceptile is the winner!" said the ref uncertainly
"Scep…tile?" Sceptile said, also uncertain
Gary recalled his Arcanine, 'It didn't even last three seconds! Is Ash's Pokemon really that strong, or am I just really weak?' wondered Gary as he sent out Nidoking.
"Sceptile, leaf blade!"
'I'm not going to lose so easily this time!' thought Gary furiously, "Nidoking use body slam!"
Nidoking got hit with the leaf blade & it flinched. A/N: I know leaf blade can't make him flinch, but oh well.
"Sceptile, double team followed by solar beam!"
"Nidoking! Find the real one, then use horn attack!"
When Sceptile finally launched the solar beam, it turned out to be in the air & not where Nidoking was looking. It got hit directly.
"Sceptile, finish this with slam!" As Sceptile rapidly came back down to earth, it landed directly on Nidoking.
"Nidoking is unable to battle, Ash's Sceptile wins!"
'What?! That didn't even take fifteen seconds! I'm gonna be a laughing stock!' "Nidoking return!" 'I gotta be a lot smarter about this…I know!' "Go! Pigeot!"
"Pigeot stay in the sky!" yelled Gary 'He can't get any good hits while Pigeot is in the sky' thought Gary
"Sceptile solar beam!"
"Dodge!" yelled Gary
The solar beam came up too quickly for Pigeot to dodge effectively, but it clipped one of its wings
"Pigeot, gust!"
"Sceptile solar beam again!"
The solar beam tore through the gust attack & clipped Pigeot's other wing, causing it to fall to the ground
"It's probably not done yet, Sceptile so prepare a leaf blade." Said Ash
As Pigeot rose from the rubble Sceptile launched the attack
"Pigeot is unable to battle! Ash's Sceptile is the winner! Ash is the winner or the Quadrant C finals!"
/Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town has just set a new record here at the Indigo Plateau Pokemon League! Not only has he set the time record as 28 seconds, but he is also the first one in the Indigo League History to get a perfect match, as his Pokemon did not receive even the smallest amount of Damage! Congratulations Ash Ketchum!\

"Wow, Ash. That was a quick battle." Said Misty meeting Ash outside the locker room again. Like last time, Ash put his arm around her waist.
"Yeah, a disappointing quick battle. Even if it was Gary." Replied Ash. As they started heading towards the Pokemon center area.
"Yeah, guess he didn't train hard…at all."
"He probably trained, just didn't improve." Remarked Ash
"Yeah, but at least you've got a mark in History. First one to get a perfect match." Said Misty proudly
"Yeah, but it's not gonna be my last mark in history." Said Ash confidently
"Of course not." Said Misty leaning up to kiss her boyfriend, "Share a room again?" she asked grinning
"Just don't tell my mom."
A/N: Haha Gary! Never really liked him…ever, main reason why I despise Egoshipping. Second reason is it assumes Misty could like something like that. Anyway, on with the fanfic.
---
Ash felt himself waking up finally. He rolled over expecting to see Misty still sleeping in the other bed, what he saw was more rewarding, though…
Misty was already up & was in the process of changing into today's clothes. She just so happened to have her back to him. After a few minutes of watching sleepily, half-believing it was a dream, he accidentally yawned.
Misty's attention turned towards him. When she saw he was awake she smiled, "Morning, sweetie. You should probably get dressed soon." She said putting on her shirt.
"Maybe later…" said Ash, a little more awake now. Misty leaned down & kissed him. "How about now? You own me one for letting you watch me, you know."
'Crap…' thought Ash, "Ok, ok…"

/Welcome, ladies & gentlemen to the second semi-finals match of the Indigo Plateau Pokemon League! The contestants are Ash Ketchum,\ the spotlights turned to show Ash on one side of the field/And Trisha Kumo!\ a women of about 26 years of age wearing a dark red & grey outfit was shown to be on the other side by the spotlights. /The rules are still the same, this will be a 3 on 3 match with a nine minute time limit. Neither trainer is allowed to switch out his or her Pokemon. The trainer with the most wins at the end of the match wins & will advance to the next round.\
"When both trainers are ready…let the match begin!"
"Go! Metacross!" yelled Ash
"Go! Rayquaza!" yelled Trisha
"Whoa, a Rayquaza?! How'd you manage to catch that? It stays in the O zone layer doesn't it?"
"I found it in a very tall tower known as Sky Pillar. It's one of the places Rayquaza rests when they get tired of flying." Replied Trisha
"Cool…Metacross use Meteor Mash!"
"Rayquaza, extreme speed!"
'Crap' thought Ash as Rayquaza smashed Metacross & dodged the meteor mash, "Metacross! Agility followed by Hyper beam!"
"Rayquaza, hyper beam as well!" as the two attacks met, they caused a large explosion
"Metacross, use psychic!"
Rayquaza was launched out of the smoke & debris & smashed against the wall.
"Rayquaza, extreme speed!"
"Metacross, protect!"
Rayquaza's attack was forced to a sudden halt when it hit Metacross
"Metacross! Take down!"
"Rayquaza! Use outrage!"
'Crap! Guess it's time for Metacross's only other surprise…' thought Ash
"Metacross! Dual hyper beam!"
"What?!" yelled Trisha
Metacross put two of its legs (or arms or whatever you want to call them) together on each side. Within it's claws, a hyper beam, was forming on each side. As Rayquaza was about to make contact, both beams fired, forcing it to be blasted backwards & back into the wall.
"Rayquaza, hyper beam!"
Before the dust could clear, Rayquaza's hyper beam came shooting through, aimed at Metacross
"Metacross, dual hyper beam again!"
One of Metacross's beams stuck Rayquaza's beam halting both, as the second one proceeded for a direct hit.
"Rayquaza is unable to battle, Ash's Metacross is the winner!"
"Hmph, no matter, Rayquaza return, go! Groudon!"
"Another legend, eh?" said Ash a little worried
"Yep, hope you know what you're doing, or else you're toast."
"Metacross, use psychic!"
"Groudon! Use fire blast!"
"Metacross, agility followed by hyper beam!"
"Groudon, earthquake!"
Groudon stomped the ground, commanded it to rupture & as the cracks & shifts headed towards Metacross, it also blocked its hyper beam.
"Metacross is unable to battle, Trisha's Groudon is the winner!"
"Metacross, return. Well, since you seem to have a fascination with legendary Pokemon, let me show you mine, go, Suicune!"
'This should make things easier, I have the advantage' thought Ash.
"Suicune, ice beam!"
"Groudon, fire blast!"
The two attacks met in the middle of the field, causing an elemental explosion
"Suicune! Agility followed by Blizzard!"
"Groudon, slash!"
"Dodge!" yelled Ash
The blizzard not only (heavily) damaged Groudon, but also slowed him down, making it even easier for Suicune to dodge.
"Suicune! Finish this with another Blizzard!"
"Groudon, fire blast!"
The two attacks met, but blizzard surpassed fire blast proceeding to deal the final amount of damage.
"Groudon is unable to battle, Ash's Suicune is the winner!"
"Groudon return. Well, it's time to fight fire with fire, I guess. Only, it's fight ice with ice in this case! Go, Regice!"
'Another legend? What's with this girl?' thought Ash, 'Well, at least I still have the advantage…' Ash grinned
"Regice, use blizzard!"
"Suicune! Use flamethrower!" A/N: I know Suicune can't use flamethrower. I want it to be able to & it's my ff, that's why it's in here.
The two attacks met near the middle of the field causing yet another elemental blast
"What?! Flamethrower?" asked Trisha, "Argh, Regice, use hyper beam!"
"Suicune! Dodge it!"
Using the ice around the field to its advantage, Suicune manages to dodge
"Regice use lock-on!"
"Suicune, flamethrower!"
Because Regice was busy, the flamethrower hit directly
'Crap, I can't let another flamethrower hit, or I'm out' thought Trisha
"Suicune, finish this with flamethrower!"
Trisha gasped, "Regice! Sheer Cold!"
The flamethrower ended up as another direct hit.
"Regice is unable to battle!" declares the ref, waiting for the frost bit wind to die down before revealing Suicune's unfortunate outcome, "Suicune is unable to battle! This ends in a tie, making Ash the winner of the semi-finals!
Ash gave a relieved sigh before recalling Suicune & heading to the locker rooms.
---
"Here you are, Nurse Joy." Said Ash handing over Metacross's & Suicune's pokeballs.
"Now, you said both of them were fainted, right?"
"Yes."
"Should take a few hours. If you take them before your next match, they won't be fully recovered."
"That's ok. I have four other Pokemon fully capable of battling." Said Ash walking away from the counter & to the table where Misty was seated.
"Yet another battle with surprises." Commented Misty
"It's easier to win when you're full of them." Said Ash
"So, tell me. How'd your Metacross manage to be able to do two hyper beams?"
Ash sighed, "You know all those times I risked my life?"
"Duh! I was mad at you & took it out on Gary all the time, remember?"
"Just making sure. Well, there was this one time, when there was a whole lot of Pokemon who were pissed at me, & were coming from multiple directions. Charizard was beat up pretty badly, & Pikachu was barely holding off two sides. Metacross was already out, & I couldn't get to the rest of my Pokemon. I told Metacross to use hyper beam, but it had already calculated that there wasn't enough time for it use enough hyper beams to hold them off, & that it wouldn't be able to clear the way for me to get the rest of my Pokemon without them overrunning us completely. So it attempted another solution. The result was firing hyper beams in different directions at the same time, which end resulted in the dual hyper beam. This way it worked on holding them & clearing the way for me to get Sceptile, Donphan, & Suicune out. After that, all the wild Pokemon started retreating after they realized their opponent was a lot more of a threat."
"So basically it saved your life? I'll have to thank it sometime." Said Misty, "How about Suicune?"
"What about Suicune?"
"How'd it learn flamethrower?"
"Oh, I taught it that. It's a TM, you know." Said Ash
"I didn't know Suicune could learn flamethrower."
"Neither did I."
"So what made you try it?"
"I don't know…I just did, I guess."
"Well, we got a few hours to do something, what do you want to do?" asked Misty

/Welcome! Welcome ladies & gentlemen to the final match of the Indigo Plateau Pokemon League challenge! We've seen a huge array of different Pokemon from all over the world from several very skilled Trainer's but only two have managed to make it to this final match! The finalist's are…Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, in the Kanto region!\ on one side of the Indigo Champion Stadium, the ground opened up to reveal Ash coming up on an elevator of sorts/And Rahi AkiaRyu of Scorcha (pronounced scorch - a) City, in the Arc region!\ on the other side of the ICS the ground opened up to reveal a tall man in full black clothing with red outlines coming up on an identical elevator. There were parts of dark grey on his pockets & such, & he had a black belt across his chest like Ash's green one. The pokeballs on the belt matched his clothing too, being black on the bottom, & grey on top with a red ornamental pattern on them.
"No way, Rahi?" asked Ash, amazed
"What up, Ash?" replied Rahi smiling
"This is a long way from Arc, what are you doing here?"
"I heard you would be here, & I figured hey, why not?" (in case if some of you don't fully understand the situation, Rahi is an OC that I named after my preferred online name, Rahi-1. In the fic, Rahi is an unimportant person who Ash traveled with in the Arc region & very few other's. He is also a very skilled trainer who helped teach Ash & his Pokemon a lot of lessons & mastery over all their moves & technique's. I'm debating on making a prequel to this fic based on Ash's adventure's in the Arc region. I'll let you guys decide, just be sure to read through the battle before making your decision) (E A/N: I doubt that I'll get started on the prequel within the next month or so; it took me nearly a month to get back to working on this, & deciding to post the 1st chap.)
/ The rules of the final round are the same as all the other rounds, this will be a 3 on 3 match with a except with no time limit. Neither trainer is allowed to switch out his or her Pokemon. The trainer with the most wins at the end of the match wins & will advance to the next round.\
"Go! Sceptile!" yelled Ash
"Go! Raikou!" yelled Rahi
'What's with legendary Pokemon today? I mean, come on!' thought Ash
"Sceptile, agility followed by leaf blade!"
"Raikou, thunder, then dodge."
Raikou used thunder, but because Sceptile was using agility it missed, barely. When Sceptile went in for the attack, Raikou instantly got out of harm's way.
"Raikou! Quickly, use zap cannon!"
Before Sceptile could even turn around it got blasted with the powerful electric attack.
"Sceptile, solar beam!"
"Raikou! Thunder!"
The two attacks met, like so many others's before, & at first was a tie, it moving in neither direction
"Raikou! Double team followed by thunder!" yelled Rahi
Raikou cut off its attack & activated double team before the solar beam could hit it.
"Sceptile use detect!" yelled Ash, just in time as Raikou launched its thunder attack from the air. Sceptile dodged it, "Sceptile! Use leaf blade now!"
Raikou was unable to dodge it & before it hit the ground it was smacked away & into the wall
"Raikou lock-on! Followed by Zap cannon!
"Sceptile solar beam!"
The two attacks met, but unlike before Sceptile was weaker & Zap Cannon was a more powerful attack. Sceptile got blasted with it.
"Sceptile is unable to battle! Rahi's Raikou is the winner!"
"Well, you have improved since we last met, but not by much." Commented Rahi
"Well, unfortunately for you, I remember Raikou from our travels as well as its main weakness." Replied Ash
"What weakness would that be?"
"It's lack of non-electric type attacks. Go! Donphan!" Answered Ash
Rahi nodded his head in recognition, "I see. Raikou, use crunch!"
"Donphan, rollout!" as Donphan gained speed, Raikou was preparing for the best chance to attack. Ash grinned 'predictability is bad if you want to win' "Donphan, switch to rabid spin!"
Because Donphan switched moves, Raikou was unable to land an effective hit on Donphan, however Donphan managed to get a direct one. "Donphan! Fury attack, now!" Donphan proceeded, able to get off three hits before Raikou smacked it away. "Donphan rollout!"
"Raikou, crunch!" This time Raikou went less for accuracy & more for actually hitting, resulting in both Pokemon receiving about the same amount of damage.
"Donphan, finish this with earthquake!"
"Raikou! Use thunder to smash the rocks!"
Although the plan probably would've worked, Raikou was not fast enough & was overcome by the attack.
"Raikou is unable to battle! Ash's Donphan is the winner!"
"All right time to stop fooling around," laughed Rahi, Ash widened his eyes; he had a good idea of what was coming. "Go! Arcanine!"
"Aw, crap…" groaned Ash
"I see you remember Arcanine. Good." Said Rahi
A/N: Arcanine is my favorite Pokemon. That's one of the reasons he's here. I also have a habit of making my favorite stuff (here it's Arcanine) overly powerful. Sorry about that, it'll be resolved shortly though, just you wait.
"Impossible to forget." Stated Ash
"Arcanine! Discard Donphan with take down!"
Arcanine smirked before seemingly disappearing. But Ash & Rahi knew that was simply its impossible speed. Everyone else in the crowds & such, well, they didn't & there was a lot of gasping & screaming. That is, of course, until they heard the crash caused by Donphan being driven clear through the wall.
"Holy crap!! Donphan is unable to battle! Rahi's Arcanine is the winner!"
Ash recalled Donphan, 'I've got to think of a plan & quickly or else this all ends here…at the final match' thought Ash sadly
"You've never been able to beat Arcanine, Ash. I suggest you muster everything you ever learned & pour it into this battle." Said Rahi
That's when Ash remembered about something…a move that Rahi had taught him, well his Pikachu specifically. He had never used it in a real battle before because of the downfalls, but they were easily payable now. Ash smirked & looked up at his buddy on his shoulder, "you think your up to it?"
"Pikachu!"
"Then go!" said Ash as pikachu took the field.
"Hmm, interesting. I look forward to finding out what your plan is." Said Rahi smiling
"Pikachu, use thunder on yourself!" yelled Ash. Pikachu did so.
Rahi chuckled, "it still won't be able to match Arcanine's speed." He said quietly as pikachu supercharged itself with the thunder, giving it a yellow outline of energy
"Arcanine, flamethrower!"
"Pikachu, thunder! Split it in half!"
Pikachu did as told, focusing its thunder attack on splitting the flamethrower. Although Ash & pikachu paid no attention, the remnants of the flamethrower smashed against the walls giving them huge cracks & holes.
"Just what's your plan?" asked Rahi (rhetorically)
"A move you taught my Pikachu. It will be what brings an end to your Arcanine. Pikachu, lightning rod!!" yelled Ash as loud as he could.
A/N: lightning rod: a move that I made up. More information will be explained in the story, & another a/n will explain it in a more understandable way afterwards.
Out of nowhere (literally) storm clouds appeared & several bolts of lightning struck pikachu directly, before pikachu passed on the immense electrical energy in the form several lightening bolts. Although directed at Arcanine, the bolts lashed out at the surrounding walls, floor, & air like huge electric whips, leaving no room for escape. Arcanine just stood & took the blast, knowing there was nothing that could be done to lessen the effect.
"Lightning rod…the most powerful electric move ever. Impossible to dodge, impossible to survive. Recharges the user completely, but comes at a heavy cost." Stated Rahi looking at the extremely worn out pikachu.
"But, now I've a shot at winning. So it was an easy price to pay." Replied Ash
A/N: lightning rod- always hits, causes the opponent Pokemon to faint instantly, excluding ground types. Recharges all user Pokemon's PP, wipes out 85 of max Hp as recoil. Recoil dealt before attack is launched. An overpowered move I came up with, I made the recoil to help balance it out. I think it does a nice job of that.
"Don't get cocky Ash. I still have one Pokemon left."
"I'm not cocky, just relieved."
"Right, Arcanine return. Go, Gardevoir!" said Ash
'At least it's not another legend, then I'd be toast,' thought Ash
"Volt tackle, pikachu!"
"Future sight, Gardevoir!"
Gardevoir's eyes glowed briefly before its whole body glowed blue before dieing down. "Gardevoir, psychic!"
Right before pikachu managed to make contact, pikachu's outline suddenly turned blue. Although Gardevoir used psychic too late to stop the attack & the damage dealt, it was able to slow it down before being launched into the wall. Gardevoir managed to keep its concentration, despite the pain, & launched Pikachu into the wall opposite.
"Pikachu, thunder!"
"Gardevoir, psychic!"
Thanks to the load of rubble caused by the two being rammed into the walls, Gardevoir used psychic to lift & launch all the rocks at pikachu. However, Pikachu's speed prevented it from being trapped & it managed to get a direct hit. Unfortunately, preventing it from being trapped is different from getting hit & pikachu took a lot of damage.
"Gardevoir, psychic again!"
"Pikachu, finish it with thunder!"
Gardevoir got blasted with thunder before it could even begin the attack.
The ref looked over at Gardevoir, "Gardevoir is unable to…what?"
Gardevoir had started glowing blue & stood upright. Rahi let out a relieved sigh while Ash let out a groan. They both knew what was coming. Gardevoir lifted its arms to around neck level & forged two balls of light blue energy, one in each hand before slamming them together & forcing them in Pikachu's direction. Pikachu tried to dodge, but the energy balls changed course to hit pikachu directly.
The dust faded as Gardevoir's glow faded & fell to the ground. The ref looked at both of the Pokemon before saying, "Both Pokemon are unable to battle, this round is a draw. Since both trainer's have two wins, there will be an extra elimination match. A 1 on 1 Pokemon battle, last one standing wins!" yelled the ref
Rahi recalled Gardevoir as Ash walked into the middle of the field to get pikachu. When he came back to his spot, laying pikachu down to the side, he called out his final Pokemon, "Go, Charizard!"
"Charizard, eh? In that case, go! Salamance!" yelled Rahi
"Just like old times?" asked Ash grinning
"Like old times." Agreed Rahi also grinning
"Charizard, flamethrower!"
"Salamance, flamethrower!"
The two attacks met in the middle of the field going back & forth, more towards on Salamance, before they both died out.
"Salamance, hyper beam!"
"Charizard! Fire blast followed by flamethrower."
The hyper beam was launched just in time to stop the fire blast but was severely weakened when it came up against the flamethrower.
"Charizard! Break through with dragon breath followed by another flamethrower!" yelled Ash
The dragon breath finished off what was left of the hyper beam & hit Salamance before it could do anything, & because of the paralyzing effects of dragon breath it couldn't do anything against the flamethrower.
"Charizard finish it off with fire blast!"
"Salamance, try & use iron tail!"
Salamance attempted iron tail, but it moved too slowly to do anything except take the hit.
"Rahi's Salamance is unable to battle! Ash is the winner of the Indigo Plateau Pokemon League!" yelled the ref, the crowds going completely nuts, as they would for any other very intense battle. Ash just gave a relieved sigh & recalled Charizard.

A/N: this chapter is over, but the battling is not. At the beginning of the next chapter will be Ash & Misty's final chat before Ash faces off against the elite four & the champion in an effort to fulfill his dream! Will he make it? Of course he will, that's why I named the chapters 'A Pokemon Master At Last', after all, you're just reading to find out how he made it. Or, at least, I think you are. Personally I don't care why you're reading it, as long as you're reading it.
As always, comments, tips, etc., etc. appreciated & wanted for the altered version.
