Chapter 7 Last Miracle
In the headquarters of Team Rocket, a man who dressed in all orange was sitting in his office with his lovely Persian. He was stroking his Persian as usual when the telephone quickly picked it up.
'Who are you? I am Giovanni. Are you in an urgent?' asked Giovanni impatiently.
'Giovanni, no, I mean Leon Ketchum…' said the voice in the telephone.
Giovanni's face soon became as white as a sheet.
'Who are you? What do you want me to do? You are going to threaten me with this, aren't you?' shouted Giovanni nervously. He flapped his table with all of his strength. Many beads of perspiration were on his face.
'Calm down! My dear brother. I am your dear little brother, Leo. Do you think I'll do such an evil thing?' said Leo softly.
Leon face was normal again.
'Oh, my dear! Long time no see! I bet you were really pleased for my helps. You are going to thank me for that, aren't you?' said Leon excitedly.
' Not really. In fact, I hate the feeling of winning by cheating. Although I was really excited at the moment I got your helps. I want to win the Champions League but I want to do it with my actual strength, not by cheating.'said Leo.
'Well! You're not my…' shouted Leon in a great anger with a terrible voice. He kicked his table violently and he pinched his glass which was containing beer. It was broken into pieces by Leon violently. Steam seemed to be coming out from his head.
'OK. So what do you want me to do then?' asked Leon calmly. He was irritated by Leo's words but he soon became calm because he missed him and he want to keep their relationship.'
'What you have to do is to come to the stadium to see how we win the Championship all by ourselves!' said Leo.
'And nothing else?' asked Leon in disbelief. He was a little bit displeased. A disappointed look appeared on his face.
'Nothing else.' Said Leo.
'OK. So bye for now!' said Leon. 'I think I should do something.' He said to himself softly. A plan had come to his mind.
'Meow!' cried his Persian. It was shaking his head.
'So you don't want me to do that? OK. I'll always listen to you. You're my favourite.'said Leon. He had no choice but to listen to his Persian because he had promised that he'd give him everything he wants.

Ash, Daisy and Donald were all sitting in the Olympics Stadium to watch the final of the Champions League.
' Welcome to Olympics Stadium to watch the greatest Pokémon football match of the year, the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL! It's the defending Champions, Magmortar United versus the new comer, Rhyperior United. Will Mag United win the championship three in a row or will Rhyperior United win the become the champion for the first time? I am Rio and my partner is Anton.' said Rio
--
The match was a close-fought. The defence of both team were great. The strikers could rarely get into the box with the ball. But the situation had changed in the thirty-seventh minute.
Ronnie was kicked by a defender in the box. He fell down to the pitch immediately. The referee pointed at the penalty point immediately without hesitation, telling everyone that there's going to be a penalty kick. King Dong walked towards the ball and placed it at the right position. He walked a few steps backward. He walked towards the ball again with a REALLY REALLY slow walking pace. His steps were as heavy as steel and his stress was as huge as a mountain. When he came to the ball, he kicked it with maximum power. Everyone, include King Dong himself, were waiting anxiously at that particular moment. Some of them were hoping that it was missed or saved while some of them were hoping that it was a goal. The ball flew towards the goal with full speed, like the speed of a rocket. The keeper dive towards the right direction but the ball was still in because of the speed and the power. All of Dong's stress had soon become his joy. And he was gathered around by his teammates happily.
'Mag United finally gets the lead after thirty-seven minutes with a penalty by Dong!' announced Anton.
--
Hargreaves was kicked by a defender violently outside the box and he was badly injured. And the referee gave a free kick immediately. Owen lay and rolled on the ground painfully. He was substituted by a player who had not played for a long long time, Tevez.
'The Super-Sub Monster-Face Killer is back!' shouted Anton.
Tevez walked towards the ball and placed it at the right position, ready to take the free kick. He ran quickly towards the ball and kicked it with maximum power. He curled it around the wall set up by Mag United and also the helpless keeper. It went into the net in an awesome speed.
'What a great free kick! It is even better than Owen's!' shouted Rio.
The match started again after the free kick. A Rhy player got the ball and it was passed to Tevez. He dribbled the ball from the middle of the pitch to the box of Mag United. The defenders looked frustrated in front of the Dribbling King. They were crossed by him one-by-one, one after the other. And finally the helpless keeper was also crossed by him and he kicked the ball softly, scoring his third goals in the Champions League.
'What a miracle! It is another classic Maradona goal!' shouted Anton.
The referee blew his whistle for thrice to end the match.
'It's the end! The Dinosaurs become the champions after their miracle-like fight back in the last minutes!'shouted Anton.
The players of Mag United players all lay or sat on the ground with hopeless and depressed look while the Rhy United players all hugged each other excitedly. It's like a dream to the Rhy United's players and a late, enjoyable drama to everyone. Mr. Ketchum looked anxiously at Giovanni and his Persian. They were grinning wildly at their seats. He didn't find any sign of cheating. He breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards his players cheerfully, joining their celebration. They threw him into the air again and again.
Meanwhile, Ash and Daisy hugged each other while Donald was hugging with the air. Donald looked really depressed, knowing that he had lost to Ash in the 'Love Fight'. He admired Ash for winning Daisy's love.

Several minutes later
The players of Rhy United and Mr. Ketchum were all standing on the stage, waiting for the prize giving ceremony to begin. They were filled with excitement. An old man who was wearing a blue cap, a red jacket and a light green short with white hair and white goatee walked towards the stage, holding the heavy trophy with his hands. He smiled and gave the trophy to Mr. Ketchum.
'Congratulations! This is your debuted season and you managed to overcome the difficulties and win the Champions League. It is a great achievement for all of you.'praised the old man.
'Thank you very much. It's my honour to receive the trophy from you, Mr. Goodshow. And may I invited my brother, Leon, to come and share the joy with me from the auditorium? I cannot achieved this without his support.'requested Mr. Ketchum.
'Certainly!' approved Mr. Goodshow.
'What? How come that I haven't heard that I have a uncle?' screamed Ash puzzlely in his seat.
Leon ran from his seat to the stage as fast as he could. He was running with excitement. It didn't take him long to reach the stage. He and Mr. Ketchum lifted the trophy together happily.

Ash was now in the Sinnoh Stadium, ready to fight against the woman who dressed in black completely.
All the paparazzo in Sinnoh were gathering around the stadium. Some of them were standing in the helicopter above the stadium. Some of them were standing outside the stadium, watching at the wide and big screen. Some of them were sitting in the auditorium. And some of them were sitting in studio room of the stadium. Besides the paparazzo, Brock, Misty, Tracey, Max, May, Dawn, Gary, Prof. Oak, Phillip, Ryan, Daisy, Casey, Delia, Leo and Leon were all sitting in the VIP seats.
'Welcome to the Sinnoh Stadium to enjoy the greatest battle of the year: Ash VS Cynthia! Will our Sinnoh League champion have any advantages against our current Sinnoh champion?I'm the MC of today battle as usual, Rhonda. Now I am not to say any absurb anymore. I hope you will all enjoy this great battle.'
'Go! Milotic!' shouted Cynthia.
Cynthia picked a Pokéball and clicked a button on it. It had enlarged. He threw the ball into the air. Some red beam was released from it and the red beam soon formed the shape of a Milotic. A sea serpent with light blue and long hair-like fins drape from the sides of the head appeared. Its tail was covered with gold and red scales.
'Wow! It looks liked that our champion's Milotic is a special one!' shouted Rhonda
'Tevez! I choose you!' shouted Ash.
Ash picked a Pokéball from his belt and clicked a button on it. It had enlarged. He threw the ball into the air. Some red beam was released from it and the red beam soon formed the shape of a Rhyperior. Again, Tevez was standing in front of everyone in only a second.
'What? A Rhyperior? Can you believe your eyes? There must be something wrong with this young trainer's mind.'shouted Rhonda in disbelief.
'Well, you should wait and see before commenting on me, Rhonda.'whispered Ash with confidence.
'You're too naïve, Ash. No Rhyperior are able to dodge Milotic's Hydro Pump, not a single one.'whispered Cynthia with confidence. 'Finish it off with Hydro Pump.'
A huge, wide, long and fast water cannon was released from her mouth. Tevez was able to dodge it quickly because of the training. He jumped up high in an awesome speed to dodge it. Ash didn't even have to command it to dodge it because of his close friendship with his Pokémon.
'Finish it off with Mega Kick.'shouted Ash.
'I must admit that your Rhyperior is really fast but do you think that you're a little bit too confident, Ash?'whispered Cynthia.
'Milotic, use Hydro Pump to finish it off when it comes close to you!' shouted Cynthia.
Tevez ran towards Milotic in an awesome speed. Milotic fired the water cannon towards Tevez again when he came close to it. But again, it was able to dodge it quickly. And in all of a sudden, a whitish colour appeared on one of his leg when he kicked powerfully at Milotic. To everyone's surprise, Milotic flew to the wall and hit it after being kicked by his Mega Kick. Two big crosses appeared on her eyes and she was fainted.
'Milotic is unable to battle. Therefore the winner is Rhyperior.'announced the referee in disbelief.
'I cannot believe my eyes again. Can you ever imagine how fast it was and how strong his leg was? It is probably the fastest Rhyperior. And perhaps his leg is as strong as an elephant's!' shouted Rhonda in disbelief again.
A smile appeared on Ash's face, knowing that he was going to be the new Sinnoh Champion after tonight battle.
