Hi guys, it's me again. I'm slowly getting back to my rhythm and my writers block is disappearing (I hope). This is the scene that (hopefully) many have been waiting for; the tournament start. I'll have two battles in this chapter and hopefully even more in the next chapter. As I said before, I try not to make Ash too OP but it's actually harder than it seems. I'll try my best.
I'll start a new story soon with an OC going around in a region and earning badges and stuff. Be sure to check it out when it comes out.
"…and with that said, I officially announce this tournament as started!"
As soon as the announcement from Charles Goodshow left his lips, the crowd erupted into cheers and laughter. The tournament that they had all been waiting for was finally starting. Satoshi was standing in one of the corners of the stadium, eyeing Max´s group. He then looked around at the elated crowd, grinning at the thought that Max probably could win over most trainers in here. As soon as Goodshow was finished, he left and went to the Pokémon Center to see his first match-up. Gary had the same thought on his mind and they accidentally bumped into each other.
"Heading to the Pokémon Center are we?" Gary asked Satoshi. Satoshi just nodded and continued to walk towards the Center. Neither one of them said a word as they walked in comfortable silence. They soon arrived and went to nurse Joy to ask for their match-ups.
"Satoshi and Max Maple will battle against…Brock Harrison and Lily Warner." Satoshi simply stared into the thin air with a brow raised, not expecting to battle one of his former friends so soon.
"Gary Oak and Steve Green will battle against Mark Johnson and Carolina Smith" Gary nodded at this remark and looked at Satoshi. Satoshi didn't look back and continued to stare at the thin air, although his brow was back in its original position.
"Come on Satoshi; let's get to your arena. Your battle will begin in twenty minutes." Gary suggested.
'Oh great, I'm one of the first as well.' Satoshi thought to himself. Satoshi and Gary left the Pokémon Center and were just about to head to the battlefield, but were hindered as someone approached them, blocking their escape.
"So you're the mysterious guy around here, huh?" The boy asked, scowling.
"I guess you could say so, Paul." Satoshi simply replied, watching closely for his old rival's reaction.
"How did you know my name?" Paul asked suspiciously, glowering.
"It's my job to know and besides, I know it'll be fun to beat you." Satoshi replied smoothly, smiling slightly to show that he was joking.
"You really think you can beat me? Ha! Don't make me to laugh!" He said and laughed confidently, which made
Satoshi started to walk away in disgust and just as he was going to disappear out of sight, he turned and called back to the jerk, "Paul, you're pathetic." Paul growled in furyand left quickly as Gary started to walk after Satoshi.
"Are you ready for this battle?" Gary asked.
"Do you really believe that I would walk into a battle unprepared?" Gary didn't answer it. They continued to walk and they soon arrived at the arena.
"Hey Satoshi," Max said as Satoshi turned around. "Ready for this?"
Satoshi nodded in response.
"Brock Harrison, Lily Warner, Max Maple and Satoshi, please report to the battlefield." The speaker echoed loudly.
Satoshi and Max walked and soon came inside the arena to see their opponents already there.
"Max, could you let me take these on with just my Pokémon, your Pokémon being in the sidelines?"
"Sure, but why?" Max asked, a little disappointed.
"There is a pokémon here that wants to battle hard battles, for example where he has two opponents." Satoshi explained.
"Is it Charizard you mean?" Max asked.
"No, it's someone else." Satoshi replied, shaking his head.
"Ok sure. I'm not going to lose a chance to see one of your strong Pokémon being in action." Max said eagerly, hoping to see his mentor's Pokémon close up.
As they talked, the referee quietly walked up to them and started to call to the crowd, "This battle will be a double battle with each trainer using two Pokémon each. No substitutions are allowed and when a side cannot battle, they will be declared losers. Brock and Lily will start. Begin!"
Brock and Lily threw out their Steelix and Tangrowth while Max and Satoshi threw out their Shelgon and Tyranitar.
"Shelgon, stay back and use protect on anything that comes your way."
The opposite side looked quite confused but Brock quickly took action.
"Steelix, use iron tail on that Tyranitar."
Steelix rushed at Tyranitar as fast as he could and when he came close he swung his mighty tail at Tyranitar. It looked like a clear hit but when everyone looked at Tyranitar he still didn't move.
"Come on Steelix, use iron tail once again."
"Help Steelix with power whip." Lily called.
Steelix once again hit Tyranitar with his tail and soon after Tangrowth arrived and used power whip on it but it still seemed as if it didn't do a scratch. Then, to everyone surprise, Tyranitar opened its mouth and quickly shot a very powerful hyper beam at Steelix. The orange beam moved very quickly and Steelix had no chance of dodging. It hit Steelix with incredible force and Steelix fell to the ground, it struggled, but managed to get up, ready to battle.
"He can't attack, now is our chance! Steelix use iron tail again!" Brock called.
"Go after Steelix with power whip!" Lily shouted soon after.
They both charged again and Steelix begun with hitting Tyranitar with its tail and Tangrowth slamming its arms at Tyranitar quickly afterwards. Tyranitar lost its balance and fell but slowly got up again with no effort whatsoever. Its armour was scratched and wasn't looking too good but it was still as resilient as ever.
"Get in there and use bind!"
Steelix once again charged at Tyranitar and used bind at him. Tyranitar was however prepared and charged an attack in his palm. As soon as Steelix got close he used mega punch. Brock nearly screamed to Steelix to get out of there but it was too late. Steelix fell to the ground with swirls in his eyes.
"Steelix is unable to battle. Trainer, please choose your next Pokémon."
"Return Steelix, you did a great job. Go Crobat."
"Tangrowth, attack from distance with Solarbeam!"
Tangrowth charged up the attack and was just about to fire when Tyranitar whipped up a sandstorm, disrupting the attack. It then opened its mouth and used hyper beam at Tangrowth.
"Quickly Crobat, get in front of Tangrowth and use protect!"
Crobat flew to Tangrowth´s aid with extremely fast speed and used protect. The blast hit shield that encased the two pokémon and stopped mid-air. To Brock's surprise however, Tyranitar kept charging up a powerful hyper beam. About half a minute passed by and Tyranitar was still firing the hyper beam. Crobat wasn't that lucky because its protect had ended resulting in the four winged bat being hit by the powerful beam. Crobat fell to the ground and landed with a hard thud. At that moment however, Tyranitar was directly above Crobat using mega punch. Crobat closed its eyes, seeing that it was the end of his battle. After a while of not getting hit, it opened its eyes again and saw that was using power whip to try and reflect the attack. Crobat quickly flew away and Tangrowth let Tyranitar hit the ground.
"Crobat, charge in with cross poison"
Crobat charged at Tyranitar with wings glowing dark purple. Tyranitar quickly reacted and lifted Tangrowth with no troubles and putting it in front of the attack. Thanks to Crobat´s speed, it managed to evade Tangrowth from being hit and flew to higher altitude. Then Tyranitar charged his hand and used another punch attack against Tangrowth that was different to mega punch. Tangrowth fell to the ground with swirls in its eyes while it looked like Tyranitar was stronger.
"Wait what?! How does your Tyranitar know drain punch?" Max asked Satoshi.
He simply replied with two words: "special training".
"Tangrowth is unable to battle. Trainer, please choose your next Pokémon."
Lily returned Tangrowth and sent out her last Pokémon, a Kangaskhan.
"Kangaskhan, get in there with power-up punch!"
Kangaskhan ran against Kangaskhan while powering up the punch. When it was close, Tyranitar used sandstorm on itself while powering its drain punch. Kangaskhan´s punch hit the sand and the hand got dragged into the sandstorm. As soon as Kangaskhan was inside the sandstorm, Tyranitar used drain punch on it. Kangaskhan landed on the ground and was slowly getting up. To its fear, Tyranitar was smiling at it with a mischievous grin and opened its mouth, once again using hyper beam.
"Crobat, use tailwind to get faster and quickly use protect in front of Kangaskhan. "
Crobat did exactly this and saved Kangaskhan from the final blow. Kangaskhan finally got up and headed out of range. Crobat stopped using protect and narrowly dodged the powerful beam.
"Now use cross poison!"
Crobat once again charged at Tyranitar with amazing speed and hit Tyranitar with force. It was retreating but Tyranitar caught it with its hand. It once again smiled mischievously and charged a hyper beam in its mouth.
"Crobat, use protect!"
Tyranitar shot the beam but to everyone's surprise, he dropped Crobat to the ground and shot it at Kangaskhan. Kangaskhan wasn't prepared and got hit by the hyper beam. It once again fell to the ground but this time, it didn't get up. Crobat then got even more surprised as it was hit by Tyranitar's tail, keeping it to the ground. Tyranitar then charged the beam and was about to fire when he heard Brock.
"Please don't fire, I give up!" Brock pleaded/
Tyranitar looked at Brock for a while but in the end, he smiled mischievously and fired the beam at Crobat, delivering the final blow. Tyranitar then turned and walked up to Satoshi's side. Brock ran to aid his Crobat, now having tears in his eyes.
"What the hell is wrong with your Pokémon?! No Pokémon should be this cruel!" He admonished.
"How can you call this cruel? All it did was finish off your Pokémon. And besides, you're the wrong person to say that something is cruel." Brock looked at Satoshi and though he didn't show it, he was clearly confused.
"Why am I the wrong person?"
"I have heard about an incident that you had with a friend several years ago. I believe his name was Ash Ketchum. You betrayed him and now you think this is cruel?"
"You don't know shit about Ash Ketchum! He attacked our friend and said that we were people without a future! He was the one that betrayed us!" And with that, Brock left the battlefield, leaving a very confused Satoshi. What he said was all a lie. Satoshi never attacked one of them and he certainly didn't call them people without a future. Still, Brock seemed so sure about it, like he really believed in it. Satoshi really hated him, yet pitied him at the same time.
The crowd silenced and watched carefully at what Satoshi would do next. Satoshi returned his Tyranitar and left the battlefield without saying a word. Max followed him quickly, not wanting to be left to the quiet crowd.
"Satoshi?" Satoshi kept on walking. "Whatever they say or think, I know that it didn't happen." Satoshi stopped and looked at Max for a while before answering.
"Thank you Max, it means a lot… I'm sorry that you didn't get to battle today." He said softly
Max waved a hand passively in front of his face. "No big deal. It was totally worth it just watching your Tyranitar. That Tyranitar of yours is the strongest Pokémon I have seen on your team. Its powers are insane!" He said, awestruck.
"It isn't my strongest Pokémon but it sure is one of them. I could say that its defensive powers are the strongest on my team, though. The armour it has is extremely durable and cannot be destroyed by anything but the strongest attack," Satoshi informed his younger protégé. "We should get ready for our next match so why don't you head back to your camp and make yourself ready. You're going to be the one battling this time, I'm just going to stand back and only attack if I really have to. There is almost no better training than 2 vs. 1."
Max nodded and they continued to walk in silence.
Time skip
Satoshi and Max once again stepped up to the battlefield. This time they were battling against two trainers that they hadn't heard of before, Andy and Mark. They looked like they would be around the same age as Max.
They started off by releasing Empoleon and Camerupt. Max sent out his Shelgon and Satoshi sent out his Tyranitar once again.
"The rules will be as the rules of your previous battles. Begin!" The referee called out.
"Empoleon, use aqua jet on Tyranitar!" Andy began.
"Camerupt, use rock slide!" Mark continued.
Empoleon rushed at Tyranitar and hit it with its powerful aqua jet but it didn't seem to faze Tyranitar as he grabbed him and threw him to the other side of the battlefield. At the same time, Camerupt summoned rocks which were falling at both Tyranitar and Shelgon.
"Shelgon, use protect!"
Shelgon protected itself by putting up a green barrier while Tyranitar just stood ground, letting the rocks fall upon him. He still didn't seem fazed.
"Shelgon, use dragonbreath!"
"Camerupt/Empoleon, use hydro pump/flamethrower!"
The said Pokémon used their attacks which resulted in a stalemate in the middle of the battlefield, each Pokémon trying their hardest to break through. Being 2 vs. 1 isn't too easy so after a few seconds the beam started to go against Shelgon's direction. Shelgon reacted quickly and put up another protect attack. The other Pokémon didn't have the power like Tyranitar to keep the beam up and the beam dissipated into thin air, creating smoke that covered the battlefield. Then suddenly, when the smoke disappeared, Shelgon was engulfed in a shining green light. The light continued to engulf him but his form was slightly changing; his head grew out and a pair of large wings grew out from the body. The light disappeared and on the battlefield stood a proud Salamence.
"Way to go Salamence!" Max cheered on his Salamence for evolving because he was the last of Max's Pokémon to evolve into its final form. He checked his Pokedex and exclaimed; "Wow, you just learned fly and dragon pulse. Way to go! Let's try that dragon pulse on Camerupt."
Salamence nodded. Happy about its trainer's pride in it, and charged up a large green sphere in its mouth before shooting it at the Camerupt. Camerupt's trainer however was ready for this and got Camerupt to use protect. The beam hit the protect and dissipated.
"Empoleon, get in there with aqua jet and use a close range ice beam!"
Empoleon rushed forward against Salamence and when it was close enough, it used ice beam. Tyranitar had a boring time not doing anything so he stepped forward and put his hand in front of Empoleon's face. The ice beam exploded in Empoleon's face and the ice froze Empoleon body. Tyranitar then proceeded by using aqua tail on the block of ice, but not so hard that it would break it. The he charged up a yellow light in his arm and used thunder punch on the block of ice. The block then exploded into hundreds of small ice shards that flew at Salamence and Camerupt. Both Pokémon had to use protect to evade it but Tyranitar stood in the core of the explosion and he wasn't mattered at all. Then Empoleon fell to the ground, swirls in his eyes.
"Empoleon is unable to battle. Trainer, please choose your next Pokémon."
He returned his fainted Empoleon and grabbed his next Pokeball.
"Go Rhyperior!"
"Let Rhyperior use protect and use earthquake."
Rhyperior put up a green barrier around itself while Camerupt started to stomp at the ground. Tyranitar quickly put up a purple barrier around him and responded by charging up an orange light in its mouth and unleashing its powerful hyper beam at Camerupt's direction. He tried to dodge by using rollout but still got hit by the powerful beam. Due to using rollout, his fall was muffled and he got up again. He was clearly very tired and very weak.
Now astounded, Max exclaimed, "Your Tyranitar knows quick guard too? This Tyranitar holds many surprises."
"Max, you should target Camerupt. It is very weak right now and some well-coordinated attacks should be able to take it down." Satoshi advised.
"Right, Salamence fly further up and use fly on Camerupt while charging your dragon pulse."
Salamence flapped its wings and got to higher ground while charging the green pulse in its mouth. When it was high enough, it charged down by using fly.
"Now fire your dragon pulse on your way down!"
"Rhyperior, counter it with your rock wrecker!"
Rhyperior charged up a big red-glowing rock in its hand and shot it at a quick speed against Salamence. Salamence fired the dragon pulse at the attack to attempt to stop it. The two attacks hit mid-air but the rock wrecker pushed through and hit Salamence. Salamence couldn't control its flying and it hit the ground. It lay on the ground but then trembled slightly and started to rise again. To Max's disappointment he fell to the ground again, this time having swirls in his eyes.
"Salamence is unable to battle. Trainer, please choose your next Pokémon."
Max thanked Salamence and returned him. He then picked his next Pokeball and sent out his Sceptile.
"Hey Andy. Let's target that Sceptile. We need to be 2 vs. 1 if we want to have a chance against that Tyranitar." Mark advised quietly to his partner.
Andy nodded."Sure thing Mark."
"Let's use Rock wrecker again!"
"Follow it with a fire blast."
"Sceptile, use quick attack to get out of there!"
Sceptile charged away from the rock wrecker narrowly dodging it. However, it let it guard down and was not prepared for the fire blast after the rock wrecker. It tried to dodge but still got by the powerful fire blast. It was shaking now but it refused to give up and got up.
"Great job Sceptile, use giga drain on Camerupt."
Sceptile rushed forward to Camerupt and his eyes began to glow green as he begun to drain hp from Camerupt.
"Camerupt, use protect!"
"Use earthquake now while he's using protect."
Rhyperior started to stomp the ground forcefully hitting both Sceptile and Rhyperior while Camerupt still was using protect. Sceptile fell to the ground.
"Now, close range fire blast!"
Camerupt quickly shot a powerful blast at Sceptile, easily taking it down. Max returned his Sceptile but still didn't look too worried.
"Max Maple is now out of the battle. This continues as a 2 vs. 1 battle."
"Could you win now for us, Satoshi?"
Satoshi smiled at Max's trust of him and nodded.
"Tyranitar, do whatever you want just like before."
Tyranitar smiled mischievously and started to walk alarmingly slow against the opponents. The opponents looked confused at Tyranitar as he slowly but steadily were walking towards them. Then Tyranitar roared as his eyes became red and he whipped up some sand and continued to the point where he really had an actual sandstorm around him. He continued to walk to his opponents, who started to plan how they would defeat him.
"Rhyperior, use rock wrecker!"
Rhyperior charged a big rock in his hand and threw it at the Tyranitar. The rock was engulfed in the sandstorm and it seemed as Tyranitar stopped for the sandstorm was not moving anymore.
"Hey referee, he stopped moving. Don't we win now, he probably fainted." Mark asked hopefully.
"I'm sorry, but since I don't have eye contact with Tyranitar, I can't say that he fainted."
"Camerupt, go check it out but be careful."
Camerupt slowly walked towards the still raging sandstorm as all people in the stadium held their breath. They couldn't believe that such a strong Tyranitar would be taken down so easily. Camerupt finally arrived in front of the sandstorm and was standing a mere meter away from it. There was still no movement. It tried to move closer but then suddenly it was seemingly hit by something and fell to the ground. Soon after, a rock flew at extreme speed and hit Rhyperior dead-center. It refused to give up and stood up after a while, however slowly. Out of the sandstorm came Tyranitar.
"How did your Tyranitar use the rock from my Rhyperior's attack?!"
"That's very easy. That rock wrecker is too weak against my Tyranitar. It could be hit by one and it wouldn't do that much at all. Catching it was no biggie." Satoshi replied, smirking.
"And with that, Camerupt is unable to battle. Trainer, please choose your next Pokémon."
He returned his Camerupt, thanking him for his work and reached for his next Pokeball.
"Go Metagross!"
The large Metagross appeared at the battled field and stared at Tyranitar with determination. Tyranitar yawned and it seemed to anger Metagross.
"Satoshi, you have come far but me and Metagross will stop you. We have a secret weapon."
He pulled down his shirt sleeve and showed off his mega bracelet to Satoshi.
He said; "Time to mega evolve!"
He threw a stone to Metagross which it caught and as he did, he started to glow pink and white. What became of Metagross surprised many in the audience. Metagross now had eight arms and was floating above the ground.
"You know, you're not the only one that can mega evolve Pokémon. I could mega evolve my Tyranitar but it will just prove to be a bigger challenge to my Tyranitar if I leave it like this."
"Begin!"
"Rhyperior, start off by using megahorn!"
Rhyperior rushed in, horn glowing green. Tyranitar charged a yellow light in his right palm and threw it at Rhyperior. The two attacks clashed in mid-air but Rhyperior wasn't hurt at all due to thunder punch being an electric attack.
"Ha, does your Tyranitar really think that it can beat Rhyperior with an electric attack?"
"Look at its left hand."
When he looked, he realized what Tyranitar was doing. He shouted to Rhyperior to get out of there but it was too late. Rhyperior got hit by the powerful drain punch and fell to the ground. Tyranitar smiled over the hp that it got back. He then charged a bright read beam in its mouth and shot a hyper beam at Metagross. Metagross quickly put up the green barrier around it, known as protect. Tyranitar kept using hyper beam like in previous battle and it pinned down Rhyperior to the ground with its iron tail. After two minutes with nothing happening and he silence increasing, Metagross didn't have the power to keep the barrier up and was hit by the super powerful hyper beam. Metagross dropped its levitation and fell to the ground. Metagross was having trouble getting up while Rhyperior looked like he was done for. Tyranitar started to stomp the ground, using earthquake. Rhyperior swirls in his eyes but Metagross managed to levitate away at the last second.
"Rhyperior is unable to battle. This is now a 1 vs. 1 battle."
"Metagross, quickly use bullet punch."
Metagross shot forward at an incredible pace and hit Tyranitar dead-center before retreating.
"Continue, its working!"
Metagross once again shot forward and started to hit Tyranitar repeatedly. For the first time in this battle, it seemed like Tyranitar was having trouble. Metagross shot forward again in an attempt to hit it once again. Tyranitar didn't know quite what to do and whipped up a sandstorm around him. The bullet punch hit the sandstorm and stopped. The arm was slowly being dragged into the sandstorm, giving Tyranitar the chance to attack. Tyranitar thought through his choices and finally charged a green light in his palm. He hit the Metagross, sending it back and down to the ground. Tyranitar felt refreshed from the hp that it got back but it was still tired and its armor was not looking well with bruises and cracks in its armor. Nothing that time or a Pokémon-center wouldn't be able to heal of course. Tyranitar the charged up a hyper beam and shot the beam at Metagross. Metagross was still on the ground and got hit by the beam sending it sliding along the ground. Metagross slowly hovered up again and shot a determined look at Tyranitar. Tyranitar replied by giving a mischievous grin. Tyranitar then charged at Metagross while powering up a drain punch in his palm.
"Metagross, we need to finish it here and now; use meteor mash!"
They charged at each other, fists raised and when they reached each other, they both hit their targets. Both fell to the ground and lay there without moving for a while. Seconds later, they both started to get up. They both got up and stared at each other for a while. Tyranitar then grinned mischievously and roared loudly. Metagross fell again, this time de-evolving to his normal form and having swirls in his eyes.
"Metagross is unable to battle which means that Satoshi and Max Maple are the winners!"
The crowd started to cheer loudly and there was people calling out Tyranitar's name. Mark approached Satoshi and said; "I really thought that I would be able to take down at least your Tyranitar, having a mega and all. I was really surprised when you said that you could mega evolve it but didn't. I'm happy that you didn't do it, because if you did, we would have less than 0% chance of winning. I feel like I learned really much through just this battle. I hope we can battle again someday." He exclaimed.
"I'd be happy with a rematch." Satoshi said while extending his arm. They shook hands and left the arena.
Max approached Satoshi and cheered; "Great job out there Satoshi, I knew that I could count on you."
"Thanks Max. Good job out there today. It's too bad that we won't be paired up anymore."
"I know. I had so much fun during our time of training, and your training was super good. I would never be the trainer that I am today without you."
"You had potential; you just needed a small push towards the right direction, I am however grateful for your kind words."
Max sighed slightly but continued; "After seeing you in these battles, I have no complete idea of how I am supposed to beat you. Your Pokémon are too good to be true and the way Tyranitar battled today just proved it. After my sis and the others betrayed you, training must've been the only thing that you were doing."
"I guess I did train much but I actually did some other stuff too."
"Really, like what?"
"Like taking down some evil organizations and working with the Pokémon rangers."
"You actually were a Pokémon ranger?" Max said with an astounded face.
Satoshi laughed slightly at Max's expression having and continued; "No, I wasn't an official ranger. I only helped them with missions that they didn't have men for. You could call it a part time job. Besides, a ranger is more a person that catches Pokémon temporarily while I already had my own Pokémon."
"Hey Satoshi, I was wondering; who is the strongest member on your team?"
"Hmm. It is a hard question but if I would have to answer than I would have to say my Lucario."
"Is your Lucario really stronger than both your Tyranitar and your Charizard?"
"Well, its attacks are stronger but it could never stand and take hit after hit just like Tyranitar did. Tyranitar's defensive powers are insane and I guess that if you see it that way then you could say that Tyranitar is the strongest member on my team. Charizard is very strong because of its black tail and has resistances to some types as you know but my Lucario is stronger if look at them more overall. I guess that Charizard's biggest trump card is that it can fly. Flying is a great skill to use against your opponents."
"I understand. I had one more question."
"Yes?"
"What happened with your Pikachu? When I looked closer, I realized that it wasn't the same as the one you had from the beginning."
Satoshi's look hardened and he looked into the air before answering; "Pikachu betrayed me with some of my other Pokémon's."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ask."
"Its fine Max, you didn't know after all.
While we're at it, do you have any more questions?"
He thought about before asking; "Could I come and train with you when I got time?"
"You're free to come and leave anytime you want. I had a great time training with you. You reminded me of myself when I was young. When they first announced that you were my partner, I really didn't like the fact about training with you, seeing as you seemingly was one of the ones that betrayed me. As I got to know during these three weeks, I realized that you weren't one of those people and also that you hated the people that did it. You even said that you couldn't look at your sister in the same way and I realized that I really mattered to you."
"You always were like a brother to me and it hurt seeing you gone. I'm really glad that you're still alive. When I first saw you, you reminded me of Ash and I'm really happy that it turned out to be true."
"It hurts to think that Brock and possibly the others think that I betrayed them. It's like someone brainwashed them to believe so, they seem to believe that it's true. When Brock told me that Ash betrayed them, I looked at him and I saw his expression. It had no remorse or anything that showed that he doubted his choice of words."
"I feel sorry for you; I really do but remember that I'm always here for you."
Satoshi looked at Max with a warm expression and thanked him.
"I should get back or my sister will get crazy. You know how she is when she is angry nowadays."
"It's understandable. Come tomorrow at nine o'clock and we will do some training."
"Count on it. I wouldn't miss your training seeing as good I am becoming from it."
"I'll see you tomorrow then."
"See ya!"
And with that, he left me to wonder about the day. The day was a great start in the tournament and I got to use my Tyranitar so I bet that he is happy too. I left for my tent and awaited tomorrow.
This was the longest chapter that I have ever written! It's over 5k words! It may not seem as too much to most of you but to me, this is a great accomplishment. I guess the next step is a chapter with 10k+ words.
What did you think about this chapter? I really tried to make the double battles really interesting and I really feel like I'm better at writing battles than at writing actual story. Review or PM me about what you thought. I'm happy with any feedback!
Ok, in the start of the chapter I said that I would try to not make his Pokémon too OP. Tyranitar really is this OP and that is the reason why I made it so OP. It's true that I made him use moves that he cannot normally learn but just imagine Tyranitar without the game mechanics. Armor that is nearly impossible to damage, extreme powers, not being out-speed just because a Pokémon has higher stats; this Pokémon would be the shit. Tyranitar is nothing to be joking around with.
I just wanted to say that my first one-shot is posted. It was first a homework assignment but when I read it through, I realized that it could be a decent one-shot. Check it out and say what you think. (No research done on the subject so it isn't very scientifically correct.)
And as always, I thank my beta; Jinseiwakurai-Shouganai for the astounding help.
Happy new year everyone!
A special note from Jinseiwakurai-Shouganai: You better not go up to 10K! It took me three days to edit this one! Anyway, thank you for reading, fans! The author has worked really hard on this, please favorite and review to show your appreciation for this stunning fic!
