A/N: First thoughts…I'm kind of scared of posting this as I may or may not have some extremely annoyed people with me. But hey, I'm back at least. I literally went through every stage of writers block known to existence. If you don't believe me, ask a friend from X-Box live whom is also a reader on here. Can't say his name he might come get me from Ontario. Anyways, another chapter is coming up and I must warn you, READ from the BEGINNING, to the END. Or you'll totally miss the awesomeness that happens. Eh, I wouldn't know, I didn't write it…sike.
Anyways Question Time!
…..
Q: Various questions on Perish Song.
A: Ash isn't that smart yet. He just literally skimmed through some moves not thinking about it. One month is hardly enough time to do everything. So there's my excuse for that one. (By the way I knew that would be a hand raiser for that particular move…you were thinking…"What. An. Idiot." Don't lie I know you were…..XP) I can neither confirm nor deny that I am though.
Q:Shadowy figures
A: Now how did you all figure that one out? XP
Yukilumi-
A: Assunta is a canon name that battles Ritchie! I didn't name her!...though I see where you're coming from.

Chronicles of the Chosen One: Pokemon Master
Chapter 8: A Prodigy
Ash quickly found out that he had no privacy anymore. People were lining up at the lodges, most of them TV reporters, trying to get a hint on how he captured Mewtwo. Ash didn't even go downstairs to eat as people were peering through the open portions of the windows between the shades. Within thirty minutes, he was fed up with it. He didn't feel like answering a bunch of questions that might lead Team Rocket towards him. He meant the actual organization, not the three idiots who followed him around all the time. Mewtwo had told him that he had erased Giovanni's memories as well as anyone else involved in Team Rocket. But if word got out that Mewtwo was created by Team Rocket engineering, then things would be hectic. Mewtwo told Ash that if Giovanni had recovered his memories, then he would be targeted for the rest of his life until something was done to stop him.
Mewtwo was leaning against the balcony door frame his tail hanging off to the side twitching gently against the ground. He yawned mouth as wide as a cats yawn, waking up in the process. It was 8:48 A.M. "I feel the same way," Ash said as he was laying on his bed, arms behind his head.
"Tell me it won't be like this every day," Mewtwo drawled out.
"Hey at least you can escape them," Ash said accusingly, "You've got a Pokeball to go into, but I'm fresh meat if I go out into public."
"It's times like this," Mewtwo said smirking, "I'm glad I'm a Pokemon."
"Good for you," Ash said sarcastically, "Come on. I think it's time we got out of here."
"Teleport?" Mewtwo inquired.
"Yeah," Ash replied, "Our match is in a few minutes. Teleport us outside the stadium."
"On it," Mewtwo acknowledged and suddenly, they had disappeared, instantly reappearing at the stadium.
…..
Various TV reports-
"…And that's the end of the weather report in the Kanto Region," A Kanto news anchorman said, "Now you may have heard that the Pokemon Researcher, Professor Oak has discovered a new Pokemon that has originated in Kanto…."
"….Greetings Sinnoh Region," A Sinnoh news anchorman said, "Well today there is an exciting buzz going around at the foreign Kanto Regional Competitions. It seems that the appearance of a Legendary Pokemon owned by a young trainer whose name is Ash Ketchum has caused this phenomenon…"
"Mewtwo," A Johto news anchorman said, "A newly discovered Legendary Pokemon has made an appearance under the ownership of Trainer Ash Ketchum."
"It's said that Mewtwo is one of a kind," A Hoenn news anchorman said, "And that the only one in existence is under the ownership of Ash Ketchum who is….."
"….Competing in the distant Kanto Pokemon League Tournament," A Unova news anchorman said, "He's the youngest trainer to compete and make it to the Top 4. Ash Ketchum is apparently avoiding all local newsgroups in order to concentrate on his next match. It seems that he and his newly discovered Legendary Pokemon has used teleportation means to stay out of contact with anyone other than his friends. Right now, there is live footage of his next match. As tradition goes in the Indigo Plateau, the finals will take place today and at one o'clock, the End-of-Competition Ceremony will begin."
…..
Ash stood at the gate. It was going to be a good match so far. His friends and family were already in the stands closest to the battle zone. Then the gates opened. Once again, Ash's match was the last match of out of the Top 4. He knew he was going all the way to the next round as well, which was also today at twelve o'clock. It was literally nine o'clock right now. He checked his watch. Yep, nine o'clock. Mewtwo was inside of his Pokeball resting up as he would be used again today. Yesterday's battle had probably made headline news everywhere. He wasn't surprised if it did. A legendary Pokemon being used in a tournament or gym battle was rarer than the Pokemon themselves. He was in his own little world at the moment. He was thinking of what strategies to use first. He had taken an oath not to switch out his Pokemon until all six had been used, so this match would probably be pretty intense. They were expecting him to use Mewtwo again. Chances were that his opponent would maybe believe that he wouldn't use Mewtwo again as it was common knowledge that he didn't use the same Pokemon twice.
He walked out as the commentator announced the competitor's. "From the Green side is Alex Perry from Saffron City," The Commentator announced, "Alex has won all of his battles so far with only losing two or less Pokemon and using the same team as always." The crowd cheered for him loudly. "And on the Red side is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" There was already an eruption from the crowd. "Ash Ketchum has never used the same Pokemon twice this entire tournament and has currently captured everyone's attention around the world as he revealed a Legendary Pokemon under his ownership. Who will win this decisive battle?" When he said Ash captured the attention around the world, ash immediately felt a wave of nervousness flow through him for a moment. He calmed himself down, keeping his cool demeanor
"This match is for the Top 4," The referee announced, "Between Ash Ketchum and Alex Perry. It is a six on six battle and it will begin now. By default, Ash Ketchum will choose his Pokemon first."
Ash merely shrugged and threw out his first choice. It was a Meowth who came out scratching behind his ear with his rear paw.
"And Ash chooses a Meowth," The Commentator announced, "What will Alex choose?"
Alex smirked. "Let's see if that little kitty cat can handle a real cat Pokemon," He smirked throwing out his choice, "Go Persian!" Out on the field came the Classy Cat Pokemon standing on all fours. Meowth hissed instantly in anger. This Meowth didn't like his evolved form. That's why he was still a Meowth. If Ash remembered correctly, Team Rocket's Meowth hated its evolved form as well. The two being brothers, really had a lot in common apart from the clone not knowing how to speak.
"Easy buddy," Ash said sensing his anger, "We'll show them that evolution isn't everything." Meowth started to calm down.
"Begin!" The referee declared.
"Persian quick attack!" Alex yelled.
"Iron tail," Ash countered. As soon as the Persian shot forward, Meowth had hit it squarely in the head with his iron tail. "Now Slash." Persian took the slash.
"Persian use fury swipes," Alex retaliated, "Then headbutt!" Persian swiped Meowth to the side but then got right over him again hitting him back towards the right, then the left. Meowth went to block the last with his arm but Persian used a headbutt sending him flipping backwards.
Meowth was getting frustrated. "Very well," Ash said feeling the frustration, "Use quick attack!" Meowth nodded and disappeared into a quick attack then hit Persian in the side. "Now use Iron tail again." He flipped in the air and brought an iron tail down on Persian's back. "Don't let up, use fury swipes." He proceeded to swipe rapidly at Persian who was taking the attack pretty sorely.
"Persian Hyper Beam!" Alex yelled. Meowth was hit by a large beam of energy that sent it skidding on the ground. Meowth was heavily damaged.
"Meowth," Ash said surprised but feeling his determination, "Let's show them your quick attack again." Persian recharged already and looked ready to fight.
"You too Persian!" Alex ordered, "Then use—"
"Aerial Ace now!" Ash declared. Like a rocket, Meowth shot forward in mid air in a blinding light and hit Persian dead on. "Okay Thunderbolt!" Meowth's body started to generate electricity that shot in a single prolonged bolt towards Persian.
"A thunderbolt!" Alex declared, "No way! Persian are you alright?" Persian hissed all bruised up. "Okay then, Body Slam!" He hit automatically fell on top of Meowth. Meowth was suffering from paralysis now. "Now finish it with Hyper Beam!"
"Meowth, "Ash encouraged, "Give it everything you've got and give that Persian a Thunder!" Once again, it was a test of pure power. The two attacks collided point blank and caused another explosion. Both Pokemon skidded towards their trainers knocked out.
"Ooh and both Pokemon are down for the count," The Commentator said, "What will the trainers do now?"
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle," The Referee said, "Choose your next Pokemon."
"Come on out Starmie!" Alex called his Starmie to the field to the field.
"Scyther take the field," Ash said throwing out his Scyther. Scyther came out ready to fight swiping his scythed limbs. He was ready to fight.
"Begin," The Referee announced.
"Starmie water gun!" Alex yelled.
"Scyther dodge then steel wing." Ash said. Scyther jumped to the side then shot forward like a rocket with his four bug-like wings glowing silver. He dug one of his scythes into the ground to shoot off quicker getting more momentum.
"Starmie use another water gun!"
"Double team," Ash ordered quickly, "Then blitz them." At least eight Scyther shot towards the Starmie and only one of them were hit. Immediately, Scyther and his images went in several different directions creating a large circle around Starmie who was being swarmed. "Attack."
Starmie was looking around trying to figure out where the attack would come from but with so many different Scyther going in different directions it was almost impossible. Scyther hit it from behind with his steel wing. "Again!"
"Starmie combine Rapid Spin with Water gun!" Alex yelled. All of the Scyther's were hit. The real Scyther used his scythe to flip in the air and landed on the ground on both feet as he was hit. "Alright Starmie use Rapid spin again!"
"Scyther false swipe!" Ash yelled. The two attacks clashed and they both were sent back landing on their two feet or in Starmie's case her appendages.
"Again!" Alex said.
"You too Scyther!" Ash called out. The Pokemon clashed once again and the result was the same. There had to be a way to get around that Starmie.
"Scyther again!"
"You too Starmie!"
"Scyther switch to Aerial Ace!" Ash called.
"Ice Beam!" Alex yelled. The Ice beam hit dead on. Scyther became frozen instantly. His body sat there for a second before the Referee declared the round to Starmie. That surprised Ash a little. Scyther was bug and flying, though Ice type moves were effective, he didn't think that Aerial Ace would succumb to an icy blast like that one.
"Come on out," Ash said after recalling his Pokemon, "Rapidash!" Rapidash took the field her fiery mane and tail causing the stadium to heat up as flames whisked in the wind. Ash was going to go for a quick round.
"Starmie we can take that stupid horse," Alex said.
Rapidash huffed, embers licking the air around her nostrils. "You shouldn't have said that," Ash said feeling a mixture of furiousness and hurt in Rapidash's emotions. He had to admit, on the outside, all of his Pokemon were tough, but on the inside, most of them were a bunch of big softies.
"What could happen?" Alex said smirking, "I've got the type advantage. You're Pokemon aren't as strong as everyone's putting on."
Ash glared. "That's it," He uttered, "I'm through being the nice guy with you."
"Begin!" The Referee announced.
"Rapidash," Ash said simply, "Make it take a nap." Rapidash stared at the Starmie as its eyes glowed a deeper shade of visible crimson from her already crimson eyes. The Starmie slouched as it fell asleep due to Hypnosis.
"Starmie wake up!" Alex yelled instantly realizing that he was about to be embarrassed.
"Solar Beam," Ash ordered. Rapidash charged a powerful Solar Beam then fired instantly off the tip of her horn. Starmie hit the wall outside the battle zone, leaving a crater. Ash actually meant for that to happen this time.
Although technically unconscious already, Starmie wasn't waking up any time soon now. "Starmie is unable to battle," The Referee said, "Rapidash is the winner."
"I do believe you did have the type advantage," Ash commented, "Now you don't." Alex scowled at him.
"Starmie return," Alex growled, "Come on out Wartortle!"
"This is going to be a tricky one," Ash said to Rapidash. He knew he was going to go nothing but speed and power.
"Begin!" The Referee declared.
"Quick attack now," Ash ordered, "While using Flamethrower." Rapidash followed the order and with amazing speed and her flames enveloping her, she hit Wartortle as if it hadn't even moved when Alex ordered a dodge. The beauty of a flame coated Rapidash moving like a blur caused the entire crowd to gasp in awe.
"That was fast….." Alex trailed off similarly in awe. "Wartortle Hydropump!"
"Sunny Day then Overheat!" Ash ordered. The combination was enough to stop the Hydropump from harming Rapidash. "Solar beam!"
"Dodge it!" Alex ordered, "Then use another Hydropump!" Wartortle obliged with a careful dodge then blasted Rapidash with a powerful geyser of water. This one hit. Rapidash neighed in pain. Rapidash hated two things, water and cold. Hot water didn't bother it as bad but if you doused her in cold water, it stung her a lot.
"Use Firespin!" Ash ordered. Firespin had trapped Wartortle in a Vortex. "Now Solarbeam!" Solarbeam hit instantly. Wartortle fell out the vortex and then struggled to get up.
"Ice beam!" Alex ordered. Ash acted quickly.
"Overheat!" The two attacks had met, fighting for dominance. Fire and Ice raged on for what felt like minutes. Ash knew that the two Pokemon were evenly matched and whoever could best the other with the most powerful move would win.
"Switch to Hydropump!" Alex said. Ice turned into geyser which assaulted the already diminishing Overheat blast.
"Fire Blast!" Ash ordered. The two attacks canceled each other out, "Solar Beam!"
"Ice Beam!"
Once again, power had overridden the battle styles of the pokemon trainers. But this time…yet another explosion was caused sending both Pokemon back. Rapidash's massive body skidded so far on its side that Ash had to stop her in the Trainers box. As her back had been coming at him first, He pushed against her skidding himself but also slowing down the majestic mare. There were gasps all worried that the trainer had been hurt from the impact of his quick thinking. He merely saved his Pokemon from becoming more damaged than necessary. She breathed heavily as she neighed weakly. Ash felt her worry and saddened state. "Don't worry girl," He replied, "You did very well." He felt something spark within her. "Yeah. I couldn't ask for a better fight from you. We will get you healed up, but for now return."
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle," The referee announced, "This marks the mid-point of the battle. There will be a five minute break."
Ash walked over to the resting area heavily contemplating on what to use next. Alex has so far proven to be a good trainer. He has been knocking out Ash's strong Pokemon. Although not all of his best Pokemon have made an appearance yet. All of his Pokemon were ten times stronger than what they could've been without meeting the Mew Duo. Now, Ash actually had the resources to give his Pokemon healthy diets and had the time to train his Pokemon and himself relentlessly. His strongest Pokemon were being used here in these final three matches.
Across the field, Alex was gritting his teeth in annoyance. How in the world was a kid who was six years younger than him, who was also ten, able to be on par with his Pokemon? It wasn't possible. Not to mention the rumors that had been floating around. Ash had obtained a recently discovered Legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo. No one but an elite trainer should be able to capture such a thing. The only thing Alex had going for him was the fact that Ash had a tendency not to use the same Pokemon twice in the tournament, his luck might've just held out there. As far as he knew, Mewtwo would not make an appearance again…or so he thought.
"Trainers your time is up," The commentator announced, "Please proceed to your trainer's boxes." Both trainers returned to their respective sides, the crowd anxiously waiting for what could come next. "Begin!"
"Go Fearow!" Alex called out. Ash smirked.
"Ironic that you'd call upon a bird Pokemon," Ash said smirking, "Come on out Pidgeot!" This shocked Alex as the rivaled bird Pokemon came out.
"And Ash chooses his Pidgeot!" The Commentator announced, "He's using…..wait, that's not the same Pidgeot he used in the last battle."
"How many Pokemon do you have?" Alex asked in awe, "What do you do? Train a bunch of the same ones?"
"I have enough to finish this tournament without using the same one," Ash replied, "And this Pidgeot is stronger than his mate." This one was the one he caught as a Pidgeotto in the Viridian Forest. He was much stronger than his mate as that's what Ash had focused on.
"We'll see," Alex said confidently.
"Ready Pidgeot?" Ash asked.
"J'ot!" He replied spreading his wings creating a tight air pressure that had an effect on the skin of those within range.
"Alright then," Ash said, "Get up in the air."
"Fearow Whirlwind!" Alex ordered. A huge whirlwind appeared with just a few flaps of the Fearow's powerful wings.
"Gust," Ash responded. Pidgeot only flapped his wings one time causing the attacks to cancel out each other. "Now quick attack." The speed was so fast, that the attack left a very faint image of Pidgeot.
"Fearow peck!" Alex ordered.
"Agility," Ash spoke folding his arms. For someone who's been at this for a lot longer than he has, Alex must've thought he could win without tactics. The only thing Fearow pecked, was an after image of Pidgeot's lightning fast speed. Pidgeot's attack came from behind and the power of the attack almost had Fearow hit the ground, but Fearow recovered.
"Fearow use Drill Peck now!" Alex ordered.
"Wing attack," Ash countered. Fearow came at Pidgeot who batted the Fearow's Drill Peck away, "Peck." He obliged knocking Fearow away. Fearow regained its flight by flapping its wings at the ground then gliding away.
"Fearow use Air slash!" Alex ordered.
"Pidgeot—" The Air slash hit and Pidgeot went to recover from the attack, "Alright now use quick attack!"
"Air slash!" Alex yelled.
"Switch to Aerial Ace," Ash said quickly. The blinding flash smashed through the two visible air slashes. Fearow was hit instantly.
"Fearow!" Alex yelled in panic, "Are you okay?"
"Rrow!" It responded recovering.
"Not for long," Ash said subtly, "Pidgeot, twister."
"What!" Alex roared. Pidgeot created a vortex as he flew around Fearow at a rapid pace. This pace created air currents that were becoming a living tornado.
"Whirlwind." Ash uttered. Pidgeot flew out of the twister and flapped his wings to speed up the twister. "Now Air slash." Two powerful burst of raw aero infused energy slammed into Fearow who was being hurdled around inside the twister. "Finish it with Aerial Ace." A blinding flash had pierced the high winds and hit Fearow causing a huge pressure of air to make the loudest sound and a strong force that hadn't been heard in the stadium for a long time. The pressure of the compressing air caused a wave of wind to blast in all directions. The air caused many of the crowd to cover their eyes or flinch as the wind came at them.
Fearow was unconscious on the ground. Due to the output of energy, Pidgeot was pretty much exhausted. He may have been stronger than his mate, but she had more endurance than him. Ash wanted to see what Alex's next choice would be.
"Come on out," Alex said smirking, "Electabuzz!" Ash had already come up with a strategy. He'd use Pidgeot to wear down Electabuzz, then finishing it off with his next Pokemon.
"Pidgeot," Ash said, "We'll see if we can beat Electabuzz okay?" He gave a simple nod.
"Begin!" The referee announced.
"Electabuzz use thundershock!" Alex yelled.
"Dodge it," Ash retaliated. Almost like teleportation, Pidgeot reappeared in another spot and the bolt of electricity passed harmlessly. "Okay use Air slash." Pidgeot flapped his wings and the familiar powerful strip of visible aero-energy blasted towards Electabuzz.
"Electabuzz cancel it out with Thunderbolt!" Alex said. The Thunderbolt smashed into the Air slash but kept going, hitting Pidgeot.
"J'ot!" He screeched recoiling.
"Shake it off and use Aerial Ace," Ash ordered. Pidgeot obliged and became the lightning fast blur.
"Electabuzz use Thunder Punch!" Alex ordered.
"Pidgeot move at an angle," Ash said as Pidgeot came from one direction, "Now switch angles then Agility to get in close." The angle he came from was greatly changed into an attack from the rear.
"Electabuzz watch out!" Alex yelled. Too late, Pidgeot hit from behind with Aerial Ace then glided back over to his side of the field. Electabuzz looked ill tempered now.
"Go in for another Aerial Ace," Ash spoke getting Alex's attention.
"Thunderbolt!" Alex yelled, "Don't let up!" Electabuzz fired a bolt of electricity, but Pidgeot dodged. He fired another, which didn't have any effect as Pidgeot dodged again then hit with an Aerial Ace. This process would continue two more times as neither opponent was giving in, and Pidgeot was slowly becoming more exhausted. Finally, Alex took his chance to perform an all out attack. "Use Charge!"
Ash smirked. He was getting desperate. "Twister," He called out. The twister whirled around just as Electabuzz had finished charging up. It engulfed Electabuzz causing him to spin around inside. That should null out any accuracy if he couldn't see straight.
"Shockwave!" Alex announced.
"What?" Ash questioned to himself. He had never heard of the move. Shockwave was a move that wasn't known to Ash. There were a lot of moves he didn't know. Shockwave was one of them. And unknown to him, some moves, had more stipulations to it such as the Mean Look/Perish Song, combination. But instead of a single bolt of electricity, the attack was like a literal shockwave of energy in electric form that filled the entire stadium. "Dodge it Pidgeot! Wait…crap." You couldn't dodge this. Pidgeot was down for the count after a lot of electricity passed through him. Pidgeot fell to the ground.
"Pidgeot is unable to battle," The referee said, "Electabuzz is the winner of this round."
"Return buddy," Ash said smiling warmly, "You were perfect."
"What will Ash's next Pokemon be?" The commentator announced, "He and Alex both only have two Pokemon left now. But I think the question is, with Ash stay with his normal strategy by not using the same pokemon twice? Or will his supply of powerful Pokemon be limited during it?"
Ash smirked. "Come on out my friend," He said calling out his next choice. His next choice was the most recent addition to his assortment of Pokemon. It used to be a prankster, and in truth, he still was, but now he was a strong ally and friend in Ash's team. And, as far as Ash knew, he was extremely sensitive to one weakness as being around them his entire life/afterlife had left some…side effects such as he was ten times more damageable from psychic attacks. This was an anomaly among his type even if they were regularly weak against psychic types. He was…..
"And Ash chooses a Gengar!" The commentator announced. Ghost Pokemon such as Gengar were known to be extremely hard to train because of their disobedient nature.
"A Gengar?" Alex said blankly.
…..
With Ash's Friends-
"Gengar!" Came the voices of Brock and Misty, "Where'd he get a Gengar?"
"Yes," Professor Oak said, "He told me that a while back, he befriended a Haunter and it help gain him the Marsh Badge. He was in contact with Sabrina who eventually said that it would be a good idea for Haunter to go with him seeing how Haunter was the first live human that he had grown attached to. He evolved it into a Gengar as well."
"Wow," Mist said, "If he's getting Primeape and Gengar back, I wonder….would he get Butterfree back as well?"
"Not likely," Brock said, "Butterfree has a mate remember? He's probably off in a distant region now." Cynthia sat there quiet as she could be though not inwardly.
"Ash has a ghost type?" She thought to herself, "That's a type I've been trying to get a hold of."
…
The Battle Zone
"Begin!" The Referee announced.
"Electabuzz use Thunderbolt," Alex ordered instantly.
"Dodge it," Ash ordered. Gengar jumped over the thunderbolt easily, "Now use shadow ball." He charged up a black ball of energy within his encased palms.
"Electabuzz use Thunder!" Alex panicked. The two attacks hit each other, both fighting for dominance. But eventually the energy of both attacks dwindled.
"Gengar get in close and use Shadow Claw," Ash responded. As the electric bolt dwindled away the shadow ball, Gengar jumped forward striking Electabuzz in the gut with a shadow claw.
"Electabuzz grab on and use Thunder punch."
"Phase through it and use Nightshade," Ash said. He got within Electabuzz's guard and literally passed through his chest to turn around and blast a dark-like energy out of his eyes, hitting his opponent in the back. He flew back towards his side of the field with that mischievous sneer still showing.
Electabuzz recovered. "Charge!" Alex said. Electabuzz started to take in energy.
Ash knew what was coming. "Gengar use Night Shade now!" Gengar obliged with a powerful twin beamed Nightshade.
"Use Shockwave!" The power of the attack blasted back the nightshade and struck Gengar instantly. Gengar looked heavily damaged. That Electabuzz was strong, but Ash could tell that it was tiring out as well.
"Gengar," Ash said, "Hypnosis." It was time to put his last combination strategy in action. It was a common one, but effective.
"Electabuzz!" Alex yelled as his pokemon fell asleep.
"Dream Eater," Ash spoke. One a psychological scale, Dream Eater had tore through the dream of Electabuzz, and caused a lot of damage, instantly rendering it unable to battle.
"Electabuzz is unable to battle," The referee said, "The winner of this round is Gengar."
"And it looks like Electabuzz has hit a dead in with Ash's Gengar," The Commentator announced, "Now Alex only has one pokemon compared to Ash's two."
"Return Electabuzz," Alex grumbled. He was definitely angry now. How in the world could a young trainer such as Ash Ketchum get one over on a skilled trainer like him? It was unfair to have worked so hard to get this far and be beaten this bad by a kid who was only ten. Ten! It shouldn't be possible. Not at all. He only had one hope left. His most powerful Pokemon. "Go Alakazam!"
Ash cringed, but knew that his Gengar would fail here. Gengar was so sensitive to Psychic type Pokemon, if he was seriously injured by a psywave or something similar, it would put him in extreme medical care. It was a disease. That's what his Gengar had. A disease that targets ghost types making Psychokinetic energy harm it ten times worst than normally. He contemplated on forfeiting Gengar.
"Gennnng" Gengar growled at him apparently sensing his predicament. Ash felt determination within Gengar.
"Gengar…." Ash trailed off. He just stared at his trainer. "Fine but if you take a serious blow, you're out. Got it?" He nodded.
Alex overheard Ash speaking to his Pokemon. Something was up with the Gengar. All he knew was that he could end this quickly, especially with the type advantage. "Use Psybeam!" Alex said instantly.
"Counter with Nightshade!" Ash said quickly. Gengar already had his attack half charged when he turned around to face Alakazam. He fired and both attacks connected. It was an multicolored aura verses a black and purple beam. Eventually there was an explosion of pure power. "Get in close with Shadow Claw." Gengar rushed through the smoke towards Alakazam.
"Alakazam teleport then psybeam," Alex called out. Alakazam dodged via teleportation then appeared right next to Gengar and fired a psybeam. Gengar jumped out the way.
"Shadow ball," Ash ordered. In mid air, Gengar launched a shadow ball, "Then ready up Giga Impact."
"Teleport!" Alex said. Alakazam dodged Shadow Ball but was hit by Giga Impact which Gengar had prepared for. "Psychic!"
"Confuse Ray!" Ash said. But Psychic managed to take hold first. Gengar flinched in pain, and Ash felt the brunt of it. "Alright use Shadow ball again!" He launched the shadow ball as soon as he was free of the psychokinetic grip.
"Teleport and Psywave," Alex ordered. Gengar missed but was hit by Psywave. Ash felt an extreme amount of pain course through Gengar but determination still flowed through him.
"Gengar let's go psychic," Ash ordered, "Telekinesis then Giga Impact!"
"Future Sight!" Alex ordered as Alakazam was lifted into the air. Giga Impact connected knocking Alakazam to the ground. Ash knew future sight was coming. It was a move he had learned about during his studies. Gengar couldn't dodge it unless a miracle happened.
"Alright Gengar use Nightshade!" Ash ordered. Gengar did as he was told, launching a nightshade right at Alakazam.
"Teleport!" Alex ordered. Nightshade missed and Alex smirked, "It's over." The entire field turned into inverted colors and Gengar was hit with a blast of energy. Ash felt a pang of pain before unconsciousness swept over Gengar's ghostly emotions.
"Gengar is unable to battle," The referee said, "Alakazam is the winner of this round."
"And it looks like Gengar couldn't take future sight's attack," The Commentator said, "Both trainers are down to one Pokemon each. It will be Alakazam verses Ash's currently unknown Pokemon. The only question is, will Ash stay with his strategy by not using the same Pokemon twice, or will we see Mewtwo or any other Pokemon again?"
Upon realizing that the commentator was right, Alex's mood dropped from smug to rigid fear. He didn't take into account that Ash's strategy may or may not last through the entire tournament. He prayed that Mewtwo wouldn't make an appearance here.
Ash on the other had smirked. "I'd hate to disappoint," He said smirking, "Come one out Mewtwo." Mewtwo came in his explosion of blue aura, which Ash sweatdropped at.
"It's about time," He said rolling his head from side to side like his neck actually cramped, "I was wondering when it would be my turn."
"Hey chill," Ash said chuckling a bit, "You're the last Pokemon I've got against his last."
"Really?" Mewtwo asked turning to look at his trainer, "What happened?"
"I'll explain later," Ash replied, "How about we finish this match up and move on huh?"
"Very well," Mewtwo said turning back to look at his opponent, "An Alakazam hmm? I remember facing one of these when I was under a false partnership with Giovanni."
"And how did it go?" Ash asked.
"How do you think?" Mewtwo questioned amused.
"Okay then," Ash said jokingly.
Alex stared from across the field. The rumors from Assunta were true. His Legendary Pokemon could talk. But this was weird. A talking pokemon was rarer than a Legendary. For this kid to have gotten both in one package, luck didn't define what was happening. Alex growled and cursed at his own luck. Of course, now Ash would disregard his original battle style and strategy. Of course now, he would use Mewtwo, probably his strongest Pokemon. Alex couldn't quite help but noticing something. Mewtwo had mentioned Giovanni. Wasn't that the name of the gym leader in Viridian City? He pushed these thoughts to the side concentrating on this match. If he couldn't beat Ash, he would sure as heck try his hardest to do so.
"Alright Alakazam let's show these two how hard work can lead to stronger traits," Alex said getting into the battle now, "Recover."
"I admire your confidence Alakazam," Mewtwo said, "But overconfidence can lead to disastrous outcomes." Alakazam merely nodded. Apparently Alakazam was speaking psychically to him.
"Alakazam use Psybeam!" Alex uttered.
"Shadow ball," Ash said, "Then use psychic." Mewtwo canceled out psybeam with shadow ball, then used psychic to throw Alakazam backwards.
"Alakazam Recover," Alex countered, "then use confusion."
"Barrier," Ash said, "Then use shadow ball." The confusion wave had hit a bluish barrier and then Mewtwo launched a Shadow Ball at Alakazam.
"Teleport then use Hyper Beam!" Alex ordered. As soon as Alakazam teleported to avoid shadow ball and went to fire Hyper Beam.
"Mewtwo teleport in close and Ice Beam," Ash countered. As Hyper beam was fired and almost half way across the field, Mewtwo teleported behind it and then blasted out ice like he was throwing a Shadow Ball. Alakazam was sent towards the center of the battle zone. Mewtwo floated back to his side of the field and landed staring at his opponent.
"Get up and use Psyshock!" Alex ordered.
"You know what to do," Ash responded, "Then retaliate with psychically charged Shadow Ball." The Psyshock bounced off of a barrier, then Mewtwo sent a shadow ball right at Alakazam.
"Telep—" Alex started but was too late. Mewtwo had increased the speed of the projectile shadow ball ten times which hit its mark on Alakazam. Alakazam was sent skidding out the battle zone. It got up a few seconds after it was hit. "Teleport and Hyper beam now!"
"Mewtwo…." Ash started as Alex's strategy was put into play. He nodded and teleported right when the hyper beam was launched right in front of him. The only side effect was…..Ash was in the line of fire. But as soon as the hyper beam was within a few feet of Ash's face, it redirected at a sharp ninety degree angle going straight up in the air. Mewtwo had redirected it with his psychic powers. He dropped his had and looked at his opponent again.
"Are you alright?" Mewtwo asked feeling concerned.
"Yeah, Telekinesis." Ash continued, "Then use your own hyper beam." Alakazam was lifted into the air, then Mewtwo went to use Hyper Beam. Hyper beam was used in a similar manner of Shadow ball only with both hands. Hyper Beam hit dead on, immediately knocking the Alakazam out.
"Alakazam is unable to battle," The referee announced, "Victory goes to Mewtwo and Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town."
The crowd erupted into a loud cheer seeing that Ash had once again moved onto another round in the competition. Only this time, it was the last round. Mewtwo stared around in wonder, his tail mimicking his movements. Ash guessed that even on his second match, he still wasn't use to recognition like this.
"You ready?" Ash asked as news reporters were rushing towards them.
"Say the word," Mewtwo replied.
"Mr. Ketchum would you please tell the world how you acquired a Legendary Pokemon?" A news reporter asked with a camera pointed at Ash.
"Uh…." Ash said sweatdropping, "Okay hold on now. Let me tell you something first."
"Go ahead," The news reporter said.
"As long as you respect my privacy," Ash said, "I'll answer any questions need be after the final match in two hours. Can you respect it long enough?"
"Uh….." The news reporter said trailing off looking at the various others, "Sure….." The others seemed to agree.
"Very well," Ash said nodding and smiling cordially, "Mewtwo?"
"Where to?" He asked as several camera's pointed at his direction as gasps were heard. He glanced in different directions at them.
"The Pokemon Center," Ash replied. And with that, the Trainer and Pokemon disappeared in a blue flash of light.
….
"There you have it folks," One of the news reporters said to the camera, "Mr. Ash Ketchum, although ten years of age, has a maturity to him to an extent, and has asked that we respect his privacy long enough to continue the tournament. Now in two hours, it would be Ash Ketchum verses William Bennett from Cerulean City. William is a local champion of the Indigo Conference from two years ago. One thing's for sure, this final battle will be one to remember."
…
Ash's Pokemon were resting up. He had already switched out his others. His final team was ready to battle. Ash was standing at the lake shore near his cabin. There weren't any news reporters harassing him for now as they seemed to take him up on his offer. Mew and Mewtwo were on either side of him, Mew playing with her tail, Mewtwo standing with his feet barely in the water. It was like he was testing the water with them or something, like a Meowth.
"I don't know guys," Ash uttered and sighing in a bored tone, "What do you think we should do after the conference? I don't think it would be wise to sit around and just train constantly."
"Isn't that what trainers are supposed to be doing?" Mewtwo asked.
"Many of us do so," Ash said, "But some of us also travel around the world to different regions catching new pokemon."
"Is that what you want to do then?" Mewtwo asked.
"Of course," Ash said, "Seeing new Pokemon and catching them would be awesome, not to mention other regional conferences."
"Then I'm in no position to disagree," Mewtwo spoke, "I'd like to see the world as well."
"Mew, mew, mew!" Mew said excitedly bouncing around in the air.
Mewtwo chuckled. "Her too," He translated amused.
"Well then it's settled then," Ash replied, "But the question is, which region should we visit next?"
"Wherever you decide, I hope you'll take us with you," Mewtwo spoke.
"I will," Ash replied nodding. His team was chosen for this final battle. In fact, his final three matches were planned this way. His nervousness was being combated with sheer pondering of future events he'd embark on. He was nervous because the final match was about to begin in less than thirty minutes. He was nervous because the entire world would see his battle today. They would witness that he had not one, but two legendary Pokemon. The Mew duo. One of the Legendary Pokemon groups native to Kanto. They were being trained by him. A ten year old who was barely a year into his Pokemon Journey, had already met two Legendary Pokemon and has captured them. They weren't just tools to him, they were his friends. Friends whom he would help, whom he would fight for, battle alongside with, and look out for them.
He knew his Pokemon better than anyone. You could say that he and his Pokemon were one; destined to share an empathetic link with one another due to Ash's basic psychic training. His Pokemon were like a bundle of different emotions all connected to him. The Charizard brothers represented toughness, his Venusaur evolutionary line represented loyalty, his Blastoise evolutionary line represented nothing but laid back nature. It was things like this that Ash had found in his Pokemon. Mew represented innocence while her brother Mewtwo represented calmness. His Pikachu represented passion while his Raichu represented eagerness. His Ninetails and Rapidash represented gentleness. The list went on and on. If Ash thought about it for too long, he could write a book. The point was, his pokemon were unique in their own way. And just for being themselves, he thought constantly about finding some way to reward them. How? He didn't have an answer, but he could feel some of their lust for acknowledgement from him, his peers, and even acknowledgement for species of their own kind. An example was when Nidoqueen was fighting Nidoking. He felt the spark that she first developed before they started fighting each other. It was a spark of…..love; A desire of companionship in a sense. No matter how Ash tried to defuse the emotions that swelled through him from that moment, he couldn't help but wonder, what if he provided fuel for that emotion; that longing lust for attraction. The entire process made him want to discover things about the Pokemon he worked with. What if….?
He was driving himself crazy with all the possibilities. It was like he was in his little own private Pokemon battle within his mind. The sheer complexity of life involving these Pokemon, it was enticing and toxic at the same time. Of course he would still pursue his own career in Pokemon Training, but to him he needed to learn about Pokemon from a researcher's point of view.
"Ash," Mewtwo spoke aloud, instantly quieting his internal turmoil, "Are you okay? Your mind is under a lot of stress." Ash didn't realize that Mew was floating in front of him, leaning forward slightly and staring at him like a curious little puppy.
"Mew?" She asked blinking and tilting her head.
"I'm fine," Ash said breathing steadily, "Just thinking." He smiled as Mew flew around him in a circle her tail barely touching his skin as she moved fast. She finally came to rest in his arms like a Meowth being pampered on its backside. Ash almost laughed as she just looked like a little baby pokemon with her long tail wrapping around his waist.
"Mew!" She uttered with her innocent tone. As innocent, playful, and cute as she was, this Pokemon was one of the rarest in the world as well as the gene pool of all Pokemon.
…..
It was time; the battle that would change Ash's life forever. It was the most important event of his life right now. He stood at the gate of the main stadium. He could hear the crowd cheering as Charles Goodshow was making several announcements. Most of it was about the concessions and events that would take place after the final match.
"And now without further ado," Charles Goodshow said, "Commentator?" He left his pedestal and walked towards the stands where the Elite Four would sit.
"Thank you Mr. Goodshow," The Commentator said, "Now it's time to get this last match of the Indigo Conference started. As you know, this match is between two very talented trainers in a full six on six battle. Both trainers have made their marks in the Indigo Conference. And now here comes William Bennett from Cerulean City on the Green side." The trainer in question walked out from the gate area. "William is a previous champion of the Indigo Conference from two years ago and it's no surprise that he is in the finals once more." There was a thunderous applause for William. Ash started to walk out. "And on the Red side is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. It's no surprise that Ash has captured the attention of the Pokemon League and everyone around the world due to his skill in Pokemon training even at a young age as well as being the owner of a Legendary Pokemon." There was an equally loud applause for him.
The two trainers stared at one another. Ash realized that William was a tall teenager, looked muscular with short dark hair, blue eyes, facial hair, and an athletic body. He sported red and black clothing such as a red jacket with black sleeves, boots, and a pair of blue jeans. He looked around eighteen years old. The referee broke Ash's gaze.
"This match is William Bennett against Ash Ketchum," The Referee said, "It's a one on one match, six Pokemon each, and one per round. The first trainer to call out their Pokemon will now be randomly selected. After half time, the opponent opposite of the first to call out will be the first to start the second half. Understood?" Both trainers nodded. "Okay then." The screen that displayed the trainers status' started blinking between Red or Green. Eventually it stopped on red.
"And Ketchum is the first to call out a Pokemon," The Commentator announced, "What will his choice be?" Ash contemplated on his first choice. He had five Pokemon that were a mystery to everyone, Mew being one of them.
"Very well," Ash said shrugging, "Blastoise, come on out."
"And Ash chooses a Blastoise," The Commentator announced, "The fully evolved form of Kanto's water type starter Pokemon, Squirtle." Blastoise's cannons made the cocking sound that they were known to make. "What will William choose?"
"Raichu," William said, "Come on out."
"William chooses his electrifying Raichu," The Commentator announced.
"Begin!" The referee declared.
"Raichu," William spoke, "Thunderbolt."
"Blastoise you know the drill," Ash spoke up.
Raichu unleashed a powerful bolt of electricity straight at Blastoise. Blastoise however, ran forward jumped in the air withdrew into his shell, then started spinning rapidly to cut through the thunderbolt sending excess sparks ricocheting off the rapidly spinning shell.
"Raichu dodge then use Iron Tail," William said.
"Blastoise cancel rapid spin and use Rockslide," Ash combated. As soon as Raichu went to flip in the air for an Iron tail attack, boulders that had materialized from above fell down in mid air. One of them had been impacted by Iron Tail while a few others pummeled Raichu.
"Raichu retreat and then use another Thunderbolt," William spoke up.
"Protect then Ice Beam," Ash countered. Protect had stopped the Thunderbolt, but a quick Ice Beam shot from Blastoise's mouth caused William to rethink his engagement in fighting Ash's Pokemon
"His Pokemon have a lot of endurance it seems and strength to boot," William thought to himself, "This boy is truly a prodigy when it comes to Pokemon Training." He noticed that Blastoise was about to fire an Ice Beam. "Raichu Dig, then Mega Kick."
"Blastoise wait for it," Ash ordered, "Focus….." Raichu came up directly behind. "Jump then Focus Punch." He jumped over Raichu's Mega kick then landed behind the mouse pokemon causing a slight tremor, then punched him in squarely in the back. Raichu went flying back towards his side.
"Are you okay Raichu?" William asked. His Pokemon merely started sparking electricity in annoyance. "Alright then use Flash!" Thanks to special training that Ash implemented with his Blastoise, Blastoise had disregarded the blinding light. "Thunder!"
A massive amount of Electricity was surged through the battle zone as it all convened on Blastoise who no one could get a clear view of, due to Flash. Raichu's Thunder had captured everyone's attention as it pelted Blastoise's form. Dust started to spread all around the Thunder's impact zone.
"It looks like a powerful Thunder has finished off Blastoise," The Commentator said.
"Hydro Pump and Ice Beam," Ash said sighing, "Combine them." Hydropump was a fast blast of water, but combined with Ice beam, Ash had made sure that the impact of a ice-like missile had hit Raichu. The dust had cleared when the Hydropump had shot from Blastoise's cannons so everyone could see how much damage that Blastoise had taken on during the Thunder. His body was mildly scarred from damage.
"But how….?" William asked mildly perplexed. Thunder was an extremely powerful attack yet Blastoise stood up to it like it was a just a petty attack. Ash knew how, Blastoise had used Withdraw to minimize damage. "Alright Raichu," William said, "Use Agility to get in close!"
"Earthquake," Ash responded, "Then use Slam." Using Earthquake, it made Raichu fumble around and right into Blastoise whom picked the mouse Pokemon up and slammed him into the ground. "Body Slam." Blastoise promptly flopped atop of Raichu.
"And Blastoise throw's his weight around," The Commentator said, "Ash is using some very effective counter combinations during this match."
"Raichu use quick attack to get away and use Charge," William said quickly.
"Blastoise get ready," Ash ordered.
"Shockwave!"
"Waterfall," Ash ordered. Blastoise fired a large amount of water up in the air which started to expand on its way down dousing Raichu constantly as it fired a shockwave. Both Pokemon were damaged by this attack as the Waterfall caused the electricity to double back at its owner. By now, Both Pokemon had taken considerable damage and it was showing. They were both charred with damage.
"Blastoise use Blizzard then Ice Ball," Ash ordered, Blizzard pretty much blinded Raichu while leaving him freezing at the same time. An Ice ball had come through the blizzard as well.
"Dodge it and use another Shockwave!" William countered.
"Protect then Rockslide," Ash ordered. The Shockwave didn't hit thanks to Protect but a Rockslide had almost pummeled Raichu.
"Agility," William said. Raichu basically jumped off the rocks going towards Blastoise.
"Surf," Ash ordered. A wave rose high above the battle zone coming from nothing. Raichu along with the boulders had gotten caught up in the wave under Blastoise.
"Jump on Blastoise now!" William ordered. Raichu jumped up on Blastoise and landed on his back, "Use Thunderbolt!"
"Rapid spin," Ash ordered. Both Pokemon seemed to take damage as the wave disappeared. Raichu was unleashing a lot of electricity while being spun at a rapid pace. He was eventually thrown off dizzily trying to gain his footing. Blastoise came out of his Rapid Spin ready to battle even though he had almost had enough. "Hydropump and Ice Beam Ash ordered. The combination from earlier had won Blastoise that round as Raichu had been knocked out upon impact.
"Raichu is unable to battle," The referee announced, "This round goes to Blastoise."
"An amazing start," The Commentator announced, "Both Trainers have amazing skills in training their Pokemon but it seems that Ash's Blastoise is a little tougher than Raichu."
"This kid is something else," William thought to himself, "Raichu is usually effective against any water type. He's beaten five Blastoise in a row yet this Blastoise had bested us with its trainer's tactics. I've got to be more careful."
…
Ash's friends-
"Wow," Misty said in her dream-like state, "Ash really has trained that Blastoise well. I want it…."
"Keep dreaming Misty," Brock said smirking, "You know Ash isn't going to give away one of his Pokemon, you'd have a better chance of getting a boyfriend."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" She yelled causing Brock to rub his ears.
"Still," Professor Oak said sweatdropping but also blowing off that confrontation, "Ash has shown some amazing tactics and skill in training his Pokemon. And he's only ten years old. Imagine how things would be if he kept this up in the future."
"He'd be unstoppable," Misty said.
"No he'd be elite level," Cynthia deadpanned.
….
Battle zone
"Raichu return," William spoke returning his Raichu, "Come on out Venusaur!"
"And William chooses his Venusaur," The Commentator announced.
Ash returned his Blastoise. "Come on out Gyarados," Ash ordered. His Gyarados came out taking up a fourth of her side of the field. Gyarados roared intimidating Venusaur.
"Begin!" The Referee announced.
"Venusaur sunny day!" William started off, "Then use solar beam!"
"Dragon tail now," Ash ordered, "Then use Hyper Beam." With the weakened solar beam thanks to having a fast charge, Dragon tail pretty much cut the beam in half, then arching her long serpent-like body she came around for a hyper beam. The Hyper beam hit Venusaur instantly causing a recharge for Gyarados. This caused some mild damage to Venusaur.
"Venusaur use Solar Beam!" The impact was imminent this time as Gyarados needed to recharge. Gyarados blew a lot of air out like a snort before being able to move again.
"Alright use Dragon Rage," Ash commanded. Another similar beam fired at Venusaur.
"Dodge it and use vine whip to wrap up that overgrown snake," William ordered. Dragon rage nicked Venusaur but vines started to wrap around Gyarados. "Slam!"
"Resist it," Ash ordered. Gyarados tried her best to distribute her weight as harshly as possible so Venusaur couldn't finish its attack. "Flamethrower!" Gyarados unleashed a powerful flame that engulfed Venusaur. Venusaur's vines loosened up making Gyarados slither through.
"Venusaur?" William asked blinking. Venusaur looked charred from burns it had received. "Okay you're okay, well then use magical leaf!"
"What?" Ash pondered. That was a move he hadn't heard of. "Gyarados use Hydropump." She shot the hydropump at the attack but suddenly the leaves redirected. "Dodge them!" She moved her body in awkward angles to dodge the leaves but then they came right back to hit Gyarados in the rear.
"Magical Leaf," William said calmly, "An attack where the user controls the leaves when used."
Gyarados huffed again. "Gyarados calm yourself," Ash said feeling ill-temperament, "I think it's time to show Venusaur something it will probably never see in another Gyarados. Get in the air." She started to wave her body in a serpentine fashion climbing high into the air.
"What?" William asked mouth agape.
"Whoa this is amazing folks!" The Commentator announced in shock, "Ash's Gyarados is flying! It has been widely speculated if these gargantuan Pokemon are capable of flight though none have ever been reported to do so. Its type combination would suggest so, but it has been proven false that Gyarados are capable of flight. It seems that those claims are untrue as this Gyarados is clearly airborne."
"Gyarados use Aerial Ace," Ash ordered smirking. Gyarados was probably one of the few in existence of its species to actually achieve flight. The reason being was that Mewtwo's cloning machine was meant to give Pokemon natural abilities of their type. Gyarados' species aren't capable of flight normally. But the cloning process didn't take that into account, so now there's a flying Gyarados.
"Venusaur protect!" William uttered seeing the massive flying Atrocious Pokemon speeding its way. Gyarados bounced off of a green protective barrier, "Now use Solar Beam."
"Dodge it and then Fire Blast!" Ash ordered. With a serpentine-like maneuver, Gyarados swished by Solar Beam and then fired an extremely powerful fire blast at Venusaur.
"Protect!" William ordered. Protect had failed causing Venusaur to become scorched. "Venusaur charge a Solar Beam!"
"Gyarados come back around," Ash said as Gyarados flew around. The only downside to Gyarados' ability of flight was that she tired out easily and had to keep moving in order to stay airborne. When Gyarados was in a good position he ordered her to attack. "Dragon Rage!"
"Fire Solar Beam!" William commanded. The two attacks met, pulverizing each other. But unfortunately, another explosion occurred. Gyarados was knocked out of the sky, landing hard behind Ash who dropped down to his hands and knees to avoid being crushed. Venusaur skidded back towards his trainer. The impact of Gyarados left the ground rumbling as if it used Earthquake.
"Gyarados?" Ash asked sensing the Pokemon's unconscious state. She was in a lot of pain from the explosion and the fall.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle," The referee announced, "This round is a tie!"
"And both Pokemon are down for the count," The Commentator spoke up, "And what's this? Ketchum's going over to his Gyarados."
Indeed, Ash had walked over to his downed Pokemon. This was one of the rare times a Gyarados had its mouth closed. Gyarados was rumbling as her eyes were shut. The crowd that was above her was staring down at the scene. The few that were on the bottom row could reach out and touch her dorsal scales if they wanted, but Ash doubted that they'd want to see that the Pokemon was known to be a violent species. Her eyes opened barely, as Ash placed a hand on her side. He could feel disappointment flow through her.
"Don't be down," Ash said, "You did great." In response she huffed. Her huffs could be heard across the stadium. She groaned in disbelief. "Come on Gyarados, don't be like that. You were strong enough to tie with a Pokemon with the type advantage. Not many Pokemon can battle their disadvantaged types." She rose her head up issuing perplexed emotions. "I'm being serious. So come on, get in the Pokeball and we'll get you fixed up." He felt warmth wash through her as she lowered her massive head down to his eye level. "Good girl," He continued as he chuckled petting her crest above her eyes. He pulled out her Pokeball and issued the storage feature that returned Gyarados inside. The crowd remained silent with the exception of some of them as he made his way back to the trainer's box. He heard faint comments along the way.
"That's one brave little kid," someone said.
"He made a Gyarados look like a little Growlithe," Another said.
"I wouldn't even think about trying that….."
Ash smirked at the comments he heard. After his experiences with "scary" types of Pokemon, he could honestly say that he wasn't scared of their species any more. He remembered his initial reaction with Ghost Pokemon such as Haunter and his friends at Lavender Town. They turned out to be a bunch of pranksters. Gyarados wasn't so bad any more, he remembered when a bunch of them had attacked him and his friends after the sinking of the S.S Anne. They were angered by James' mistreatment and abandonment of one of their own which promptly landed them on an island full of giant mechanical Pokemon. But now that he was training one that was pretty docile, he wasn't too scared of them.
Ash was so deep in thought that he was sort of thrown off by his opponent's words. "A respectable way to treat your Pokemon," William spoke up, "I admire you for that. Not many trainers would treat their normally vicious Pokemon with that kind of care."
"Me and my Pokemon have had some rough goes," Ash replied across the field, "But we eventually work it out. Some of them are more independent than the others but they still listen." He remembered Charizard's original attitude. Lazy, arrogant, and disobedient. Those were the words Ash use to describe him as. Though, arrogant was what others use to describe Ash as.
"Then it's an honor to battle someone like you," William replied, "Let's continue this."
"With pleasure," Ash replied.
"Go Tentacruel!" William called out.
"A tentacruel huh?" Ash asked himself, "Best play it smart. Come on out Venusaur."
"Ash chooses his own Venusaur," The commentator announced.
"This kid has a lot of the same Pokemon in evolutionary family-wise," William thought, "Where did he get all of them from in under a few months and have time to train them all up like this? It should be physically impossible." Maybe he was a prodigy after all.
"Begin," The referee announced.
"Use rapid-fire poison sting," William yelled.
"Venusaur defend," Ash ordered.
"Veeenn," He uttered unleashing his own volley which consisted of Razor Leaf. The razor leaves were canceling out the poison stings as they came.
"Leech Seed," Ash ordered. Like missiles and in under a second, three seeds shot out of Venusaur's flower's stigma. They landed in a triangular formation around Tentacruel and instantly started to grow uncontrollably towards it. The leech seeds had wrapped around its entire body from its many tentacles to its large head. "Charge Solar Beam."
William, having been dumbfounded at Ash's quick thinking realized that his Pokemon was in trouble. "Tentacruel Hyper Beam now!"
"Get in the air," Ash ordered immediately. Four vines shot out from under his large leaves on his back and slammed into the ground as he jumped giving him more momentum. Dodgign the Hyper Beam and turning his flower stigma towards his opponent, he fired a Solar Beam. The Solar Beam hit dead on and combined with Leech Seed, it was an early knock-out for Tentacruel.
Venusaur landed on the ground creating a small tremor. "Tentacruel is unable to battle," The referee announced, "Venusaur is the winner of this round."
"Ash's Venusaur managed to defeat Tentacruel quickly before Tentacruel could get moving," The commentator announced, "And with that, there will be a ten minute break before we continue the rest of the match."
Ash had flopped down on the bench in the resting area. This battle was going good for him. He only lost one Pokemon, another resting up, and one that was still fresh. His other three were completely fine as they had not been used yet. One of them was Mewtwo, whom William was probably expecting. He sighed wondering if he even needed Mew to come out and "play". But it was only fair that if her brother got to come out, then she should be able to too. The only problem was his promise to the media. He groaned loudly. A quick ten minute interview would probably turn into an hour long interview.
Across the field, William was in a similar predicament only in a different case. He had been using his weakest Pokemon during this battle so far. He was saving his two strongest for last. It was no easy feat taking down three of his Pokemon so easily. He had type advantage against two of Ash's Pokemon yet one of them barely defeated his Raichu, the other was knocked-out with his own. But Tentacruel was decimated by Ash's own Venusaur. William had had his Venusaur for eight years now and still had trouble with Ash's Gyarados. Ash was in a similar predicament with his Venusaur against Tentacruel yet he came out on top like it was nothing. Ash had some very powerful Pokemon. His Gyarados had achieved flight. Flight! That was supposed to be impossible even if it's typing suggested otherwise. This kid was either extremely lucky, or skilled in what he does. Maybe it was both.
….
Ash's Friends-
"Ash seems to have this battle in his favor," Cynthia said.
"True," Brock said, "But think about it for a second, William is a former League Champion. I don't think he'd allow Ash to win so easily."
"Brock is right," Professor Oak spoke, "William won a few years ago with only using two Pokemon. Now he's using his entire team."
…..
The Elite Four-
"Hmmm," The old woman spoke, "He's progressing quite well isn't he? He's defeated three of young William's Pokemon with only losing one."
"Yes," the masked man replied, "William is a good trainer, but even he doesn't have a powerful psychic Pokemon at his disposal." He could still feel powerful energy down in that stadium. The masked man was a seasoned psychic. He was always skilled in psychic powers like his old acquaintance Sabrina. Her psychic powers had responded to altering things around her while he himself was tuned to sensing psychokinetic energy levels and telepathy.
"Agreed," The muscular man spoke up, "But his other Pokemon proves that he's a good trainer. I doubt he could just find strong Pokemon."
"We of the Elite know that better than anyone," The woman with glasses said sitting in a chair.
The caped man stood there quietly, silently acknowledging all their claims. With some more work and maturity in age, that kid could be their level as well as William.
…
Location unknown-
In the shadows of a room behind a desk sat a man who was viewing the entire final four matches. This ten year old trainer's who had a Legendary Pokemon and an assortment of powerful Pokemon, was something else. But why did that Pokemon called Mewtwo look so familiar…..?
…..
Battle zone-
Ash stood in his trainer's box. The crowd being through with bathroom breaks, concession breaks and everything in between were now cheering loudly waiting on the next half of the battle to commence.
"Seeing as Ash went first in calling out his first Pokemon it will be William's turn now," The Commentator spoke.
"I choose you Pidgeot!" William ordered. Ash nodded, knowing that Pidgeot were fast and powerful.
"Well then," As said sighing dully, "Let's fight a flier with fire. Come on out Charizard!" He called out his natural born Charizard. Charizard huffed spitting out flames.
"What's this?" The Commentator announced, "This doesn't look like the other Charizard that Ketchum had to begin with."
"What's up with that anyways?" William asked, "Most of your Pokemon look different than regular Pokemon."
"Oh this is my other's older brother," Ash said shrugging, "And he's way more powerful. I have a lot of Pokemon who are siblings, most born from the same egg as in twins."
"That's strange…"
"Yeah you get use to it," Ash said waving it off.
"Alright then," The referee spoke, "Begin!"
"Pidgeot quick attack.
"Charizard strength," Ash ordered, "Then Seismic Toss." Charizard stopped Pidgeot by grabbing a hold of its wings then threw it back towards its side. It recovered easily gaining its flight back.
William didn't let up. "Pidgeot use Air Slash!"
"Use your own," Ash two attacks canceled each other out.
…..
Ash's Friends-
"Huh?" Misty spoke, "Charizard's listening to Ash?"
"That's weird….." Delia replied, "I remembered how he rampaged all the time."
"Huh?" Cynthia asked, "Charizard never listened to Ash?"
"That's right," Brock said, "It was like pulling teeth just to get Charizard to unleash and Ember at someone other than Ash. I wonder what happened to make Charizard have a change of heart."
"Who knows," Professor Oak said, "I'm just glad he's listening and not attacking everything anymore. One thing's for sure." He didn't continue as if thinking about his wordings.
"What?" Misty and Brock asked while the others merely looked at him.
"Whatever happened during that month," Professor Oak continued, "It has changed him and his Pokemon into efficient battlers. And I don't think anything would've been better." They all silently agreed, Cynthia for one being very impressed at Ash's apparent growth in only a month.
….
Battle zone-
"Peck!" Willaim ordered. Pidgeot swooped down and went to peck Charizard.
"Slash then Fire Fang!" Ash ordered. Slash made Pidgeot recoil while a bite with flames involved had injured the bird Pokemon.
"Aerial Ace!" William ordered, "Use quick attack to gain speed!"
"Dragon Tail," Ash ordered simply then saw a flaw in his plan, "Scratch that last order, jump over." Charizard jumped gaining momentum by flapping his wings and jumped right over Pidgeot. Ash was trying to minimize damage to Charizard in case something went wrong with Mew and Mewtwo. "Okay, turn around and use Flamethrower."
"Pidgeot dodge and then use steel wing!"
"Charizard Dragon Claw to combat," Ash ordered shrugging, "Then use Fire Blast." Charizard obliged simply smacking away Pidgeot as it came into a barrel roll making it skid across the ground. He then unleashed a powerful blast of fire.
"Why won't he get Charizard Airborne?" William thought, "He's just using our attacks against us then combating with his own."
"Alright Charizard time to wrap things up," Ash spoke aloud, "Get in the air." Pidgeot was in the air by now as Charizard's flapping of his wings caused a hot air pressure to develop. "Now use your own Aerial Ace to get in close then grapple Pidgeot."
"Yeah," William muttered smirking, "I'd like to see you tr—" With amazing speed and a blinding flash Charizard had shot forward and pretty much tackled his Pidgeot and was not letting go. "What!"
"Seismic Toss," Ash ordered, "Combine with Giga Impact." Charizard moved in a similar fashion using his trademark flight pattern with Seismic Toss then threw Pidgeot towards the ground. He then glowed blood red as the red aura surrounded him as he dove towards Pidgeot. The Impact was immediately, causing Pidgeot to become unconscious and Charizard standing with one foot on its back. Ash couldn't help but see the irony in this as his younger brother had done the same with an Onix he battled earlier.
"Pidgeot is unable to battle," The referee announced, "Charizard is the winner of this round." Charizard stepped off of his opponent roaring loudly before unleashing a long Flame.
"Alright Charizard," Ash said chuckling, "You've had your fun, now get over here." Charizard rumbled and glided over to his trainer. He was completely umbel now compared to his ignorant former self. He gently butted heads with Ash before being returned. "Good job buddy."
….
"Ash's Friends-
"Well that was new as well," Brock spoke, "Charizard being like Ash's other Pokemon? Kind? It's a little weird now."
"Uh huh," Misty deadpanned.
"Charizard is like a little growlithe now," Delia said smiling, "I wonder what Ash did to make him change?"
…
The Battle zone-
William had returned his Pidgeot. He was in one heck of a mess now, he knew that. But his two strongest Pokemon of all time were still available to him. And both were capable of combating Mewtwo as from what he had seen from previous battles, Mewtwo was one heck of a powerhouse. He was confident enough that he could still win this battle even if it was by the enamel of his teeth.
"Alright then," William said, "The Pokemon you've faced so far are tough. But my last two are way stronger. They are probably on par with you Legendary Pokemon Mewtwo."
"Oh?" Ash questioned sincerely.
"Yeah," William replied, "Come on out Dragonite!" He threw the pokeball and a yellowish Dragon came out.
"Well let's put that theory to the test huh?" Ash said good-naturedly. He pulled out Mewtwo's Pokeball. "Come on out Mewtwo." Mewtwo came out with a fiery explosion of blue aura again. "Seriously?" Ash thought sweatdropping, "You're making a habit about of being overdramatic." He let it go.
"What are our odds?"Mewtwo asked his trainer.
"He's got this Dragonite and another unknown Pokemon," Ash replied.
"Ah so everyone came out on top?" Mewtwo asked looking at his trainer.
"Gyarados tied with her opponent and was defeated," Ash replied, "Blastoise is heavily damaged, Venusaur has minor fatigue and Charizard's still full of life like usual."
"I figured Charizard would come out on top," Mewtwo said, "Even that easily. He's pretty powerful now that he'll listen to you and your training methods."
"True," Ash shrugged sighing, "So you ready to get this train a going?"
"With Pleasure," Mewtwo replied smirking.
"It looks like Ketchum is going to call out his strongest Pokemon early," The Commentator announced, "What does he have up his sleeve now?"
William found it weird but amazing at the same time, that Ash was having a subtle conversation with his Pokemon. Mewtwo seemed to have some level-headedness to him. But what puzzled him was, why did Ash call out Mewtwo so soon? Did he try to call a bluff or something?
"Begin!" The referee announced.
"Dragonite quick attack with Aerial Ace now!" William started off.
"This should be ov—" Mewtwo started before his eyes widened as he barely dodged Dragonite's incredible speed. "Whoa. Hmmm…..I'm not underestimating you again."
"Good," Ash commented, "Get ready for another attack."
"Thunderbolt," William ordered.
"Protect," Ash ordered, "Then use shadow ball." Mewtwo protected himself and then launched a Shadow ball.
"Dodge then use Fire punch!" William commanded. Dragonite with amazing speed flew forward and attempted to use a fiery punch.
"Combat with Ice Punch then Psybeam," Ash responded. Fire and Ice connected canceling each other out but a Psybeam sent Dragonite flying back.
"Regain your flight and use Flamethrower," William said. Dragonite quickly flipped forward then unleashed a fast flame that almost engulfed Mewtwo.
"Barrier!" Ash ordered. The Barrier came up just in time.
"Switch to Dragon Breath!" William ordered. The barrier broke.
"Teleport!" Ash ordered knowing they were being backed into a corner.
"Extreme Speed and then Fire punch," William ordered. Mewtwo teleported but where he came out at, Dragonite was already on him with a fire punch.
"Oof," Mewtwo uttered as he was sent back into a wall. The dust that had encased the wall from the impact surrounded him. Ash could feel a joyful emotion coming from Mewtwo even if he was a little annoyed.
"Alright they want to play it that way," Ash said smirking, "Things just got real. Mewtwo, Psychokinetic Barrier charged Aerial Ace now!"
"Eat this attack!" Mewtwo uttered before clearing the smoke with an intense field of psychic energy. His eyes were glowing blue as well. He shot forward issuing an aerial ace along with psychically charged Barrier. The attack was a blinding flash of blue which pretty much impacted Dragonite in a similar fashion as when Mewtwo was hit by an extremely fast Fire Punch. The ending result was the same as Mewtwo's as well, though Dragonite took more damage than Mewtwo.
"Whoa," William muttered, "I didn't realize that he could bounce back like that. Should've figured, he's a Legendary Pokemon." He got loud now. "Dragonite get up and use Extreme speed and Dragon Claw!"
"Mewtwo Protect then Ice Beam," Ash ordered. Dragonite's attack bounced off of Protect but then was blasted back by an Ice Beam. Dragonite was a little stiff now. Acting upon that, Ash ordered a quick attack. "Teleport then Shadow Ball."
"Dragon Claw!" William ordered. Mewtwo was hit with Dragon claw as soon as it had teleported behind Dragonite and launched his Shadow ball. Both Pokemon had taken a considerable amount of damage now.
"Thunder Punch!" William ordered, "Then use Mega Kick."
"Teleport!" Ash ordered. Teleport didn't work in time for Thunder punch, but Mega Kick had missed.
Mewtwo was actually panting a little bit. "It seems that his Pokemon are indeed strong," He said to his trainer, "If I'm having trouble like this imagine—"
"Let's not talk about her just yet," Ash said, "You've got to pulverize this Dragonite before she can come out."
"Very well," Mewtwo spoke.
"Dragonite Dragon Rush now!" William ordered.
"Mewtwo Giga Impact!" Ash responded. The two attacks collided causing an explosion of epic proportions. Both Pokemon were sent back skidding across the field. Mewtwo quickly caught himself flipping over with psychic energy and skidding on his feet. He lifted up ready to go at it again. Dragonite however was heavily damaged and got up a little more clumsily.
"Just how strong is this Mewtwo?" William wondered internally, "Everything Dragonite and I throw at it doesn't seem to hurt it much." He gazed at Mewtwo who was now hovering. "No, he's getting tired. If Dragonite can't beat it, my next choice will finish it."
"You good Mewtwo?" Ash asked his Pokemon.
"Of course I am," Mewtwo replied, "I haven't been this banged up before since I first met you at New Island."
"Well okay then," Ash said nodding, "This has nothing on that, let's end this round."
"Dragonite can you still battle?" William asked. His Dragonite nodded.
"It seems that there is finally a match for Mewtwo," The commentator announced, "This is the most damage any has seen it take ever. William's Dragonite is proving to be one competently trained Pokemon."
"Alright Dragonite use Thunder!" William ordered.
"Psychically Charged Shadow Ball now!" Ash ordered. Thunder arched from above from
Dragonite while an extremely fast Shadow Ball hit Dragonite. Both Pokemon took considerable damage yet again. "Now use another!" Mewtwo still teeming with electricity as he was halfway paralyzed and beaten up really badly had launched another Shadow ball at the stunned Dragonite. Dragonite was down on the ground half way embedded into a wall. Mewtwo let his guard down as he couldn't see the Dragon Pokemon's condition.
"Hyper Beam!" William ordered. The Beam was quick, hitting Mewtwo quickly and knocking him out the sky.
"Ice Punch!" Ash ordered. Mewtwo regained his balance by landing on all fours before shooting forward at an extremely fast speed flying towards Dragonite with Ice punch. The Impact alone knocked Dragonite out. Mewtwo teleported back on his side of the field, standing and panting like a winded Rapidash. He dropped to one knee and hand with an extreme look of fatigue. When the dust cleared, Dragonite was clearly unable to battle.
"Dragonite is unable to battle," The referee spoke, "Mewtwo is the winner of this round."
"You did your best," William said smiling clearly thinking he still had the advantage as he returned his Pokemon. "I must say Ash, it's been a while since anyone has taken down my buddy here. Very impressive. Your Mewtwo sure is strong."
"That's probably one of the roughest spots Mewtwo has been in," Ash replied, "Dragonite sure is strong."
"I agree," William replied, "But here's the thing. My Dragonite. He isn't as strong as his mate."
"Huh?" Ash asked unintelligibly.
"Come on out Dragonite!" William yelled calling out a fresh looking Dragonite.
"You've got to be kidding me," Mewtwo uttered clearly tired, "Well, I'm done battling, right?"
"Yeah buddy," Ash replied smiling, "You did great."
"Thank you," Mewtwo replied, "Well I suppose my sister can handle the rest."
"Sister?" William uttered confused.
"Yeah," Ash said chuckling not hearing William's remark, "You know how she is."
"She whine if she doesn't get to come out and play," Mewtwo deadpanned with a hint of a chuckle in his voice, "I guess I can't steal the spotlight for long right?"
"Guess so," Ash said laughing, "Come on back bud." He returned Mewtwo then looked at William. "I'm impressed you managed to tire out Mewtwo. But let me ask you a question before I send out my final choice."
"Shoot," William said thinking that Ash was just stalling.
"How strong would you rate Mewtwo to be?" Ash asked pulling out Mew's Pokeball.
"Pretty frickin' strong," William replied.
"Okay then," Ash replied, "What if I told you that his sister is even stronger?"
"What you've got another one?" William asked taken aback.
"No," Ash said lightly, "Not a Mewtwo." He emphasized 'Mewtwo', then added as simple as he could put it. "Just a Mew." With that his pokeball left his hand and out came a blinding pink aura followed by Mew.
"Mew!" Her voice echoed off the stadium walls as the entire stadium was so silent, you could hear vehicles a mile away. The reaction was priceless. Everyone was stunned. William's mouth was agape, eyes as wide as a Jigglypuff's and his Dragonite's Pokeball fell from his hand. After five seconds of extreme eerie silence Mew was the first to break the silence. "Ew?" She looked all around her as if trying to figure out why there was no sound.
"I don't believe what I'm seeing," The commentator said breaking the silence, "That's a Mew! Ash Ketchum has the legendary Pokemon Mew!" The crowd exploded in an extremely loud cheer causing Mew to chirp and flinch before going to hide behind her trainer. She flew back around when it quieted down.
…..
Elite Four-
"A Mew?" The masked man uttered bluntly, "The kid's got a Mew as well! Oh that makes me jealooouss."
"Shocking," The old woman said, "Who would've thought that he captured both of those."
The others were speechless. The caped man however looked as if he had won the lottery. "Even we could not perform such a feat," He said, "Imagine if he became one of us in time. I can't say I believe what I'm seeing. It's too surprising."
"I know what you mean….." The masked man said returning back to his normal demeanor.
…
Ash's friends-
"It seems that the reaction was just about as delayed as my belief in all of the Pokemon he captured a month ago," Professor Oak said, "It was just about the same way as I first reacted."
"But this time it scared poor little Mew," Misty commented, "I mean did you see her?"
"Yeah," Brock said laughing, "Mew's probably never been around such a noise before." Cynthia giggled at the scene that had happened earlier.
….
The Battle zone-
"Yep," Ash said lightly, "That was about the right reaction I was expecting."
Mew was dancing around in the air looking around at the crowd as if everything was wanted to play with her. She truly did have the innocent child-like behavior Ash usually associated her with.
"Uhhmmm," The referee spoke in disbelief, "Let the final round Begin!" This shook William from his stupor.
"Dragonite use Dragon claw!"
"Mew teleport," Ash ordered, "Then Flamethrower." Before Dragonite was even close with Dragon claw, Mew had teleported out the way to the left and filled the Dragon's face full of flames. "Now use Iron tail then Thunderbolt." She proceeded to pound Dragonite with Iron Tail and then lit up her world with Thunderbolt. "Now use—"
"Dragonite get over here and use Barrier!" William yelled. His Pokemon obliged. "Jeez, that kid was just having Mew pelting us. What else can that Mew do? It's so fast." He looked at Mew who simply looked back at them innocently. "Dragonite use Dragon Rage!"
"Mew use Ice Beam," Ash ordered, "Then teleport with Shadow Ball." Ice Beam and Dragon Rage connected but Mew quickly teleported behind Dragonite launching a Shadow Ball.
"Barrier!" William uttered quickly.
"Again," Ash spoke simply as the Barrier blocked Shadow ball. But this time Dragonite was hit in the rear with Shadow ball while Mew simply teleported back to her spot on her side.
Dragonite turned around ignoring the damage she had taken on. "Thunder!" William uttered, "Then Dragonbreath!"
"Teleport then Dragon Rush," Ash spoke. She teleported away from Thunder, but then cut through Dragonbreath with Dragon Rush. "Switch to Ice Punch then Dragon Claw." She literally punched Dragonite with an icy shell over her small fist, then sent the Pokemon flying with Dragon Claw. "Rock Tomb." Rock Tomb encased Dragonite with a lot of boulders.
"Holy crap!" William uttered privately, "This kid just doesn't stop! Mew's just using one attack after the other and it's working. Where did he get such a strong Pokemon from?" He questioned Ash about this. "How can she keep using all these random attacks?"
"Oh that's easy," Ash said lightly, "Mew is known as the New Species Pokemon for a reason. She has the DNA of every Pokemon in existence. Even the one's I don't know about. She's a living Gene Pool that can use most if not all attacks."
"And you found her this way?"
"No," Ash said shaking his head, "I taught her all these attacks. When I met her, she only knew four attacks."
"What….." William trailed off. "Dragonite use strength and Extreme Speed along with Shadow Claw!"
"Flash, teleport, then Blizzard," Ash countered. The combination left Dragonite blindly missing and becoming pelted by the blizzard. "Steel Wing then Hydropump." Glowing white wings appeared on Mew's back as she hit Dragonite, then she turned around firing a powerful jet of water. "Switch to Hyper Beam."
"Dragonite!" William yelled as his Pokemon was sent into the ground.
"And Mew's just too fast for Dragonite to keep up," The Commentator announced, "How powerful is this pokemon?"
…..
Various-
"That kid is just laying it on thick," The masked man said up in the VIP section.
"Mew's unstoppable," Cynthia said from where his friends were, "She's fast too."
"How can someone whose not one of us beat this kid?" The woman with glasses spoke up in the VIP section.
"He said he taught her all of these moves?" The muscular man asked.
"This kid truly is a prodigy to command a Legendary Pokemon in such a manner," the caped man deadpanned.
….
Battle zone-
"Mew Recover," Ash ordered seeing that the constant barrage of attacks were tiring her out. Her fatigue had become revivable energy now.
Dragonite got up hardly able to stand from the beating he had taken. "Dragonite," William said worried. He knew now all attempts to win would be futile. Ash had trained this Mew to use a large variety of attacks, and use them in a consistent manner. If she was tired, he would just have her recover. This Pokemon was basically Arceus! Only it was in a cat's form…. He had to use his last resort if there was a chance of winning. A one hit K.O.
"Dragonite use Horn Drill!" Dragonite came up pointing its horn at Mew with extreme speed. It barely touched Mew before Ash reacted.
"Mew Teleport, Focus Energy, and Hyper Beam!" Ash ordered. She quickly teleported above Dragonite, having taken some heavy damage while focusing her energy. She launched a Hyper Beam down at Dragonite which sent her down into the ground with an enormous impact. "Finish it with Giga Impact!" She obliged decimating Dragonite into an unconscious state.
When the dust settled, everyone was holding their breath. Ash knew it was over but it remained to be seen by the crowd and referee. Dragonite was unconscious. "Dragonite is unable to battle," The Referee announced, "Victory of this battle goes to Mew and Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" Ash stood there dumbfounded, head completely fuzzy.
….
….
…
He won…..
…..
THE END
…
I know you have a lot of questions about some inconsistencies, handicaps, and godly powers. But let me tell you this. Ash can't be great at everything, nor can he have the best Pokemon yet. But he has to be pretty darn close for the Elite Four to acknowledge him. Just think. Ash would be creamed if he went up against a high ranking Elite Four member.
Gengar's disease isn't permanent, just saying. Mew's training was a bit tougher than the others, and yes I'm aware of the smack down she gave that Dragonite compared to the beating Mewtwo took. Remember how their skills work? Mewtwo is more powerful….not faster and have the same endurance.
Please Review. Criticism is good for everyone, not flames. Questions? Ask away.
