The Final Showdown
Part 1: Leaf vs Lance
Whenever someone goes to the Indigo Plateau to take on the Elite Four, there is usually a small group of people that watch and record the battles that take place. Most people don't even get past Lorelei, a red head with a black shirt and short denim skirt that rules over Ice. Once the weak trainers Pokemon are frozen and knocked out, everyone heads home and the recorders usually only post the videos online if the person lost in a rather humiliating way. Occasionally people get to Bruno, a very well-built man with long black hair and only wore tattered white pants with a black belt and thick wristbands and he specializes in Fighting.
However, on one particular day, something rare happened. The people watching gasped as a young girl easily took down Lorelei by melting her ice field and turning the tide against her. Then, she quickly got rid of Bruno's Fighting and Rock type Pokemon as if they were weak Pokemon found in the wild. The watchers were taken aback and quickly sent the images from the battle around the region. Suddenly people were beginning to get to the Indigo Plateau through a special passage for viewers only. They watched on a widescreen television outside the building as the young girl easily eliminated Agatha, an old lady with blond hair and she wore a long red dress with a white apron-like attachment and a long wooden cane. As people watched this tremendous battle take place, more and more people gathered, some people even flying in via Pidgeot's and Fearow's to watch things unfold. Soon the girl was facing off against the final member of the Elite Four: Lance, a powerful Dragon trainer with spiky red hair and a blue and orange outfit that he covered with a black cape. The crowd outside the Plateau was now huge and they watched as Lance's second Dragonair fell to the trainer's Raichu, an evolved form of Pikachu that had a large white belly, orange fur everywhere else, a longer, thinner tail with a yellow lightning bolt shaped end and curly yellow ears.
"Well done Leaf, you are really a strong competitor." Lance said. The girl looked up and smiled. Leaf had been training for a fortnight since her last loss against Red, cutting all ties with the outside world except for when she went to heal her Pokemon. It had been a tough journey but she had made it and wasn't going to lose now.
"Thanks, but I am not backing down. You could just forfeit." She said, smirking, and Lance boomed with laughter.
"Not likely. Now Aerodactyl, finish her!" He roared and sent out a large grey pterodactyl-like Pokemon.
"Huh, I doubt that's a dragon." Leaf said and quickly brought back Raichu. "Now Blastoise, battle position!" A PokeBall hit the field and a large turtle evolved from inside, stretching and let out a roar.
"Nice starter, but prepare for it to be crushed. Aerodactyl, use Hyper Beam." Lance yelled.
"Blastoise counter with Hydro Cannon." Leaf cried. Aerodactyl absorbed energy into its mouth and fired a large orange beam. But Blastoise quickly fired two cannonballs of water from his pumps and the attacks collided, releasing shock waves. The crowd ooohed and aaahed as the dust cleared and the Pokemon began to recharge. Leaf and Lance stayed quiet as their Pokemon stayed perfectly still until they began to look around.
"Aerodactyl use AncientPower!"
"Blastoise use Hydro Pump" Leaf said confidently. Lance glared at her as Blastoise easily dodged the dust-rocks and then fired two jets of water from his pumps that merged together and hit Aerodactyl and forced it to crash into the roof.
"Aerodactyl use Wing Attack." Lance growled.
"Blastoise use Surf." Leaf said with a smile. As Aerodactyl came down to attack, Blastoise rose up on a giant wave that crashed down onto the pterodactyl. Leaf let out a laugh as the wave disappeared and Aerodactyl was lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Some Elite you are." She said, chuckling, and even Blastoise laughed. Lance angrily brought back Aerodactyl and threw out his next Pokemon without a word. A Gyarados, a long snake like Pokemon that had dragon characteristics, floated above the field. Leaf smirked and brought Blastoise back before sending Raichu out again.
"Gyarados use Bite." Lance ordered.
"Raichu use Zap Cannon." Leaf said smiling. Lance smirked at this. Everyone knew Zap Cannon had terrible accuracy. But his smirk fell as Raichu went onto all four paws and his tail touched his ears and the electric cannon ball formed. As Gyarados swooped down and bit Raichu, the large mouse fired the attack and it went inside Gyarados' large mouth. Lance gasped as Gyarados swallowed and began to roar from the attack hurt him from the inside.
"Gyarados use Twister." Lance gasped.
"Raichu leap in there and use Discharge." Leaf roared. Gyarados began to spin around until his body formed a spiral and he turned into a blue tornado. Raichu leapt into it and released the deadly bolts of electricity. Gyarados let out a final roar and fell to the ground, crushing Raichu.
"This is getting ridiculous." Lance shouted and brought back Gyarados. He angrily threw his last PokeBall onto the field. A large orange dragon rose up. It had a long tail, a short horn and glorious wings that were turquoise on the bottom. Leaf smiled and brought back Raichu.
"A Dragonite, eh? Let's see how it can match up to this." And Leaf threw an Ultra Ball onto the field. Lance, Dragonite and every person in the crowd gasped as Articuno rose from the ball and let out a lovely glow.
"Um… um… um… Wing Attack." Lance said weakly. Dragonite didn't move, watching the large bird in awe.
"Blizzard." Leaf said simply and Articuno spun around while firing a snow storm from its mouth. Dragonite was hit and covered in the snow and froze in mid air. Then it crashed to the ground and fainted. The crowd outside cheered and Leaf punched the air in delight. Lance collapsed to the ground and sighed as he brought back his Pokemon.
"Yeah, I'm the Champion!" She yelled as she brought back Articuno. Lance looked up and smirked.
"Champion? Your not the champion yet, there is still one more trainer to defeat." He said and moved to the side of the room as another door opened up. Leaf swore and quickly attached Full Restores to her PokeBalls before moving slowly forwards. She entered a long, narrow corridor and there was some strange music playing. Lance followed closely behind her and Leaf gulped as she reached the end, a strange circular room. There was a Pokemon in a pool nearby and the shape looked familiar but Leaf couldn't make it out as there was little light in the room. Suddenly, a single light appeared near her and she turned around to see an armchair that was facing away from her.
"Hello Leaf, I've been expecting you." Leaf watched as the chair spun around a boy got up and approached her. She gasped as Red extended his hand to shake. "I'm Red; it's nice to meet you." Leaf looked at Red in a mix of shock and hatred and did the only thing she thought she could do: she punched him. Lance gasped as Leaf punched and kicked Red as hard as she could.
"Ok, dumb joke, I get it, can you back off?" Red whimpered.
"No way you dickhead!" Leaf snarled and went to punch him when she suddenly froze. Red looked over towards the pool and smiled and Leaf knew who it was. Her suspicions were confirmed when she began to punch herself.
Back off Lapras
Hey, I'm not the one hitting myself The Pokemon thought back but the Psychic attack stooped and Leaf slumped to the ground before looking up at her nemesis.
"You could have told me you became champion." She growled.
"I thought you would react oddly, and I was right." Red smirked. Leaf stood up and pulled out a PokeBall.
"Well, lets battle then."
"Oh, we aren't battling here." Red said and Lance smirked as he pressed a button. Suddenly the back wall of the room opened up and Leaf gasped as she stared a large stadium. It was currently empty but it could seat thousands of people and the floor looked like it would also open up and reveal a field.
"In one hour we'll battle there and the stadium will be full of people wanting to see me triumph once again." Red said and Leaf raised an eyebrow and laughed before walking forwards so their faces were only a centimeter apart.
"I am going to tear you to pieces."
"Bring it on biotch."
I have decided to split the story up so that I don't rush through the story, and also so it doesn't seem super long. Expect the first battle part soon
