I'm glad you guys enjoyed the last battle, I feel like Ash and Gary should've have more battles. Also it seems Ash vs Katie is the most popular, glad you like that one so much. Now someone pointed out, how similar to Ash vs Palmer with Elekid swallowing the Electro Ball. That was actual intentional, because I was planning to use it every now and then. Now I want to discuss some things, which will deal with some future issues, in this series. Number 1, will Ash win every battle. No, I don't plan on making winning every match, but he will win most battles. Next the leagues, sorry for the spoil but I don't feel like Ash should win his first league. Reason is that his Pokémon aren't experience enough. But I won't have a stupid loss. Now for legendries, he will catch some, but only will use them in a few battles, against trainers who can battle them. So let me know what think about this.
It had been a day since Ash's battle with Gary, as he was now preparing to battle a girl named Sapphire. She long brown hair, wore a blue bandana, and a blue outfit, and had blue eyes. She had released a bipedal chicken-like Pokémon, with the upper half being yellow, and the lower half orange. Along with orange eyes, and beak. It also had an orange crest, on the top of its head, and long claws, at the end of its arms. While he couldn't find any information on it, he did hear its name was Combusken. So now it was her Combusken, against his Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur stood on its four legs, with blueish-green skin, dark green patterns, red eyes, and a dark green bulb on its back. Now it would be his turn to start.
"Bulbasaur use Sleep Powder." Ash started off.
"Bulbasaur." Bulbasaur began, as he released powder that headed for Combusken.
"Use Flamethrower." Sapphire countered.
Unleashing the torrent of flames, the Sleep Powder quickly burned up, as hit Bulbasaur, causing him to scream in pain.
"Bulbasaur are you alright?" Ash asked in concern.
Nodding Bulbasaur got up, as off the last attack, as its body was covered in burns.
"Alright, Bulbasaur use Sludge Bomb."
Spitting several balls of sludge, as Combusken used it speed to easily avoid the attack. Combusken got close with a Quick Attack, but when Ash called for Poison Powder, Combusken leaped into the air.
"Hidden Power."
Creating several dark brown orbs, Bulbasaur launched them as then Combusken was nailed. However, Combusken managed to launch on its feet, before launched another Flamethrower, only for Bulbasaur to leap out of the way. Bulbasaur then tried to counter Toxic, but Combusken was too quick.
"Combusken, Fire Spin." Sapphire said.
Nodding Combusken, release a spiral of flames that headed at Bulbasaur. Soon Bulbsaur was surrounded by it, but instead of hearing Bulbsaur cry in pain, the fire soon dispense revealing, Bulbsaur surround by a green sphere. Sapphire frowned, as she saw Bulbasaur used Protect, but smirk, since she would the challenge of defeating it.
"Combusken, Quick Attack!"/"Bulbasaur Double-Edge!"
As both Pokémon collided, the attack ended in a stalemate. However using the close proximity, Ash called for Poison Powder. Causing Sapphire to try and call Combusken back, only to release it was too late. Releasing the Poison Powder, Combusken immediately fell prey to its toxics.
"Use Venoshock."
Once the attack hit, Combusken took major damage, as it was panting heavily from the poison. Sapphire wasn't giving up, as told Combusken to use Fire Spin. Releasing another spiral of flames, Bulbasaur once again used Protect to escape it. However Sapphire was prepared as she shouted, "Flamethrower." This Bulbsaur was unprotected, as he was slammed by the Flamethrower.
Struggling to get up, Bulbasaur glared at Combusken, there was no way he was going to lose. Suddenly Bulbasaur began glowing, as he grew larger, and his bud then began to open up. Soon the light disappeared, as it now reveal, Ivysaur.
"Alright, Bulbasaur evolved!" Ash shouted, as he scanned Ivysaur, as his smile widened seeing Ivysaur's new attacks. "Ivysaur use Swords Dance!"
Nodding, Ivysaur summon several swords, as they circled his before disappearing. Feeling his power increase, he grin as Ash called for a Double-Edge. Charging forwards with even greater strength, Ivysaur slammed into Combusken sending towards Sapphire's side. As it struggled to get back up, Ash knew this last attack would do it.
"Ivysaur, use Leaf Storm!" He shouted.
"Saur!" Ivysaur shouted, as it summoned a swirling vortex of leaves, sending it at Combusken.
The attack was too much for it, as Combusken was knocked out.
"Combusken, is unable to battle Ivysaur wins." The ref called.
"Good job Ivysaur." Ash said, as he knelt down, petting his new Ivysaur. Ivysaur thanked as Ash, as he returned it. Looking up, he waited for Sapphire's next Pokémon. Once she decided, she released a small round Pokémon with purple fur, pincer-like mouth, stubby forearms, small feet, a pair of antennae, and large red eyes.
Taking out his Pokédex, he checked to see what it how could find on it.
Venonat, the insect Pokémon. Venonat is said to have evolved with a coat of thin, stiff hair that covers its entire body for protection. It possesses large eyes than never fail to spot even minuscule prey.
Once he noticed it was a Bug/Poison type, he knew which Pokémon he would choose.
"Charmander, I choose you."
"Charmander." The little lizard said, excited for the battle.
"Begin."
"Charmander, start off with Flamethrower."
Opening his mouth, Charmander unleashed the torrent of flames as they headed for Venonat. Venonat quickly jumped out of the way, as it continued to dodge. Until Ash told Charmander to switch to Flame Charge. Once he switch, Charmander covered himself in a cloak of flames, and ran straight for Venonat. He continued to do this until Flame Charge made him quicker then Venonat, as the Flame Charge it hard.
"Fire Fang!"
Charmander then bit down hard on Venonat with its teeth, covered in fire, and Venonat screeched in bit, as it was now in Charmander's jaws. Venonat panic as it thrashed, trying to escape Charmander's grip.
"Venonat Stun Spore."
"Charmander, toss it then Dig."
Before Venonat could toss its spores, Charmander tossed it to the side, as he burrowed underground.
"Psybeam into the hole." With its eyes glowing, it shot a multicolor beam into the hole.
However it was at that moment that Charmander remerged with the Psybeam following it. It leaped over Venonat, causing Venonat to take the hit. Once it was up, Sapphire told it to use Psychic. With its eyes glowing pink, Charmander was caught in the middle of an attack, as Venonat sent him flying. Charmander quickly managed to get up, only to be nailed by a Psybeam. Ignoring the pain, Charmander got up, as he glare at Venonat. Venonat glared back, as suddenly they both glowed. Charmander grew tall, as his arms, legs, body, tail, and snout elongated, he then grew a horn on the back of the head. While Venonat grew wing, as its body now had three parts, it still had a pincer-like mouth, but with purple eyes now. When the light disappeared, two new Pokémon were revealed, as Ash scanned them.
Venomoth, the Poison Moth Pokémon, and the evolved form of Venonat. The scales it scatters will paralyze anyone who touches them, making that person unable to stand.
Charmeleon, the Flame Pokémon, and the evolved form of Charmander. Charmeleon knocks down its opponents with its tail, then defeats them using razor-sharp claws. Charmeleon has unlocked its egg moves Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, and Dragon Breath.
"Wow, your awesome Charmeleon." Ash stated, as Charmeleon, turn to look at Ash. He then gave him a grin, along with a thumbs up.
Now refocusing on his opponent, Charmeleon for Ash's next order. "Dragon Dance." Grinning, Charmeleon surrounded himself with a red, and purplish aura, as his attack, and speed increased. However Sapphire had similar thoughts as she told Venomoth to use Quiver Dance. Two increase their power to the max, until both trainers nodded at one another.
"Dragon Rush/Silver Wind!" The two shouted.
Charmeleon ran forward, as it was cloaked in a blue energy, while Venomoth released powdery scales, as it flapped its wings. Charmeleon easily moved to the side, before crashing into Venomoth, sending it back. Venomoth straighten itself, both using Psychic again, as it throw Charmeleon around. Charmeleon, use Dig, and when you get out, spin and use Flamethrower. Once Venomoth sent Charmeleon towards the ground, it managed to break free of Psychic's hold, borrowing again. Once it resurfaces it slid under Venomoth, before spinning in circle as he unleased the Flamethrower. Venomoth was trapped, as each pillar of flame sent it to another one, and with nowhere to go, Venomoth could only take the attacks. Once Charmander stopped spinning, as he jumped and landed a powerful fire Punch. Venomoth was knocked into the ground, as Ash shouted, "Flamethrower." Chameleon opened its mouth, as the torrent of flame knocked out Venomoth.
"Venomoth is unable to battle Charmeleon wins."
"Great job Charmeleon, I'm so proud of you." Ash praised his newly evolved starter. Charmeleon grinned has walked up to Ash. Once he was done, Ash returned Charmeleon before releasing Squirtle for the next match. Squirtle was light had a brown shell, brown eyes, and a Squirrel-like tail, it also stood on two feet.
While Sapphire had released a small, blue, spherical tadpole, with a white stomach, with a spiral on it, a large tail, pink lips, two small feet, and two black eyes. Since Ash had since a Poliwag before, he didn't need to find out much about it. He did look up Poliwag's abilities, and according to the dex, Poliwag could have either Damp, Water Absorb, or Swift Swim. Since he didn't want to risk Water Absorb, he knew he would on stick to Squirtle's coverage moves.
"Squirtle, start off with Ice Beam."
"Squirtle, Squirt." Squirtle as he fired an icy cold beam of energy.
"Poliwag, counter with your Ice Beam."
"Poli." Poliwag said, as it launch its freezing beam.
The two attacks collided created a small pillar of ice in the middle of the field. Squirtle then ran forward as Poliwag fired a Bubble Beam. Moving aside, Squirtle then switched into a Rapid Spin, and spun like a top, as he landed a powerful blow. Poliwag flew back as it got back up with more determination.
"Hypnosis."
"Quickly, Squirtle Dig."
Squirtle then dug into the ground, as he remerge behind Poliwag, and then slammed into it. Then spinning once again Squirtle once again slammed into Poliwag with another Rapid Spin. Poliwag crashed into the ground, as Squirtle slammed down his hand for a Brick Break.
"Poli!" Poliwag cried out in pain.
Poliwag then got up, as it glared at Squirtle before shouting it name. Poliwag was covered in a glow as its tail disappeared, it legs grew longer, as it grew arms and it punk mouth disappear.
"Poliwhirl!" The new Pokémon cried out.
"Alright!" Sapphire shouted, while Ash took out his dex.
Poliwhirl, the Tadpole Pokémon, and the evolved form of Poliwag. Although it can live on land, it prefers to stay in the water, where it has fewer enemies.
But before Ash could place his Pokédex away, has Squirtle Also began evolving. Once the light died down, Ash new Wartortle grin as it stared down Sapphire's Poliwhirl. Check his new Wartortle, Ash grinned when he saw his new moves.
"Wartortle, use Zen Headbutt."
"Poliwhirl, Rain Dance then Body Slam."
As Wartortle lowered charged, with his head glowing, he charged towards, Poliwhirl as it create a small cloud above the field, causing rain to fall. As Wartortle neared Poliwhirl, it suddenly with great burst of speed. Running around Wartortle, Poliwhirl looked like a blur, as Wartortle continued to miss. Poliwhirl then slammed into Wartortle, causing him to end up on the ground. With Poliwhirl on top of Wartortle, as saw his chance.
"Wartortle, use Ice Punch." With his fist glowing white, Wartortle fist connected with Poliwhirl's sides, and part of it was covered in ice.
"Now use Aqua Jet!" Ash shouted.
Surrounding itself in water Squirtle rushed forward, speeding towards Poliwhirl, when Sapphire shouted, "Ice Beam."
As Poliwhirl released the freeze attack, Wartortle Aqua Jet, because frozen solid, as it continued moving forward. Suddenly Wartortle slammed into Poliwhirl, knocking it into the ice pillar, and taking it out.
"Poliwhirl is unable to battle, Wartortle wins."
The crowd cheered, as this intense battle continued, Sapphire now had 1 Pokémon, while Ash still had all 4. Release her last Pokémon, it stood on all fours, it had armor on over, with a dark grey for the underside, and silver on the top, two several holes on its side, and sky blue eyes. With Pokédex unable to give him information, decide to think his final choice. With the metal plating he guess it part steel, and it rocky armor, meant it could be part Rock type. After thinking about his options, he diced to use his Nidorino. Despite having a disadvantage, he knew Nidorino would pull through.
"Lairon, use Rock Slide." Hearing its trainer, Lairon then created large rocks in the air, as they fell towards Nidorino.
"Nidorino, counter with Dig."
Lairon's attack as Sapphire gritted her teeth, how many of Ash's Pokémon knew Dig. Nidorino then emerged, as he slammed into Lairon, forcing it a few feet back. Nidorino, then landed a Double Kick, using the focus of the attack to get him a few feet away from Lairon, preventing a close range attack.
"Now use Thunderbolt!"
Charging up, Nidorino unleashed the high voltage of electricity, as Lairon was shocked painfully. However Lairon then shook of the Thunderbolt, as it launch a silver stream of energy. Nidorino easily moved out of the way, as he avoided the Flash Cannon. Nidorino then use Hone Claws in order to power up, as was using Iron Defense.
"Nidorino, use Drill Run."
As Nidorino began spinning like a drill, Sapphire took advantage by having Lairon fired a Flash Cannon. Nidorino was struck hard, as he crashed into the ground. Lairon then began charging at Ash, as his head glowed silver, with glow trailing from behind. Seeing this, Ash then countered with a Water Pulse. Once the ball of water hit Lairon, it stopped as Nidorino landed a successful Horn Drill. Lairon moved back a few feet, before using Rock Slide. Nidorino was unable to move as he ended up trapped under a rock, while Lairon smashed into him with an Iron Head. Nidorino was broken free, but had taken some powerful blows.
"Lairon use Take Down." Rushing forward Lairon was surrounded by an orange light.
Nidorino then fired another Water Pulse, but Sapphire was prepare.
"Protect."
Summoning a green shield, the Water Pulse was stopped, as Lairon then fired another Flash Cannon. Nidorino managed to move to out of the way in time, before surprising Ash, as Nidorino's began spinning, as he landed with his new attack, Horn Drill. This shock both Ash and Sapphire, as neither were expecting it. As the attack continued, Lairon cried out in pain, as he soon flew flown back. He landed on the ground with a thud, as he was knocked out.
"Lairon is unable to battle, the winner is Nidorino, and victor is Ash from Pallet Town."
As the match ended the crowd cheered loudly, at the incredible battle they had seen. While went to praise his Nidorino.
"You were awesome Nidorino, and you learn Horn Drill, which means you can use the Moon Stone." Ash said, as Nidorino's eyes widen. Nidorino nodded quickly, as he was excited to finally evolve.
Meanwhile, Sapphire looked at her starter, before thanking Lairon for his hard work. She return him to his Pokéball, before she turned to look at Ash. She smiled as she look to see his bond with his Pokémon, she then walked up to him before wishing him luck in the finals.
So let me know what you think about the decisions I made, as well the battle. Now I have another question for you guys, do you want Ash and some of his rivals to have access to Mega Evolution when the Indigo League happens, let me know in the reviews.
