Chapter 10: Ash's biggest challenge

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Anthony, Ian, Ronin, Tristan, and Scarlet arrived at the Burning City gym. It looked like it was literally a big flame coming out of the ground. "Ready to meet the leader?"Anthony asked. "Yeah and I'm ready to win." Ash said. "Remember what Anthony said about getting overconfident." Ian reminded. "Right sorry." Ash said. "Pikachu." Pikachu said with a sigh. They entered the gym and saw a thirty year old man standing on the far end of a lava red battle field. He wore all leather with black and flames on his pants and jacket. He also had spiked up red hair. "Hello I am the Burning City gym leader Zeke, who is challenging the gym." The man said. "Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town." Ash said. "Alright your friends watch from the balcony's above." Zeke explained. Anthony and the others head there.

Ash steps into place facing Zeke. "Alright Ash here are the rules, I can use only one Pokémon but you can use up to three Pokémon." Zeke explained. Ash nodded though found the rules strange. "Why would he do that?" Scarlet asked. "Just wait and see." Anthony said. Ash chose to call out his Dewott from its pokeball. He had blue skin and white whiskers; he had two shells on his dark blue skin. "Alright hope you're ready Ash, I choose Entei." Zeke explained. He threw a Pokémon and out came one of the three legendary dogs Entei. "E-Entei." Ash said. "Aww man this is going to be tough, even with Dewott." Ronin said. Ash got his head together. "Alright Entei Fire Fang." Zeke explained. "Dewott dodge it quick." Ash ordered. Dewott just barely dodged Entei but it was very fast. "Razor Shell." Ash ordered. Dewott made a water blade with one of his shells and then proceeded to strike Entei. "Swagger." Zeke ordered. Entei released a red mist from its mouth and it shrouded Dewott making it confused. "Dewott." Ash said. "Lava Plume." Zeke ordered. Entei released a breathe of fire and it filled the whole field. Hitting Dewott and knocking it out. Ash called back Dewott. "Great Job Dewott." Ash said.

Ash then got out Keldo's pokeball. He throws it and Keldo comes out of it. "Alright Keldo you ready." Ash said. Keldo nods his head. "Hm interesting, alright Entei use Swagger." Zeke ordered. Entei released the red mist from his mouth but Keldo dodged it. "Keldo Aqua Jet." Ash ordered. Water surrounded Keldo's body and it hit Entei hard in the chest. Entei was knocked back but was still fighting. "Entei use Fire Fang." Zeke ordered. Entei's fangs became fire and Entei charged at Keldo. "Keldo Aqua Tail." Ash ordered. Keldo made water surround its tail and then collided with Entei's Fire Fang. The two attacks created an explosion knocking both Pokémon on the ground. Entei stands up but Keldo struggles a bit before getting up. "You're doing great Keldo."Ash explained. "I hope Ash doesn't lose Keldo." Tristan said. "I think he's just having Keldo wear down Entei, after all Ash just got Keldo so of course it doesn't have enough experience to battle a fully fledged Legendary Pokémon even with an advantage." Anthony explained. "You mean Ash is using his head?" Misty asked. "Shocking isn't it." Anthony joked.

Ash needed Keldo to hold on at least a little longer, until Entei started showing fatigue. "Keldo use Hydro Pump." Ash explained. Keldo fired a powerful Hydro pump at Entei. "Entei use Shadow Ball." Zeke ordered. Entei fired a shadow ball and collided with Keldo's Hydro Pump. Both attacks exploded once again knocking both Pokémon back. Entei struggled to get up and that's when Ash knew. "Alright return Keldo." Ash said. Ash called Keldo back to its pokeball. "Alright Pikachu let's finish this up." Ash said. Pikachu nodded and ran onto the battlefield.

The others watched as Pikachu came out. "Think he can win this?" Tristan asked. "No doubt, Pikachu always comes through." Misty said. Anthony knew that even Pikachu couldn't save the day all the time but he was sure that Ash could win simply because of how well he's thinking things through now. "He'll win." Anthony said. "Pikachu Thunderbolt now." Ash ordered. Pikachu fired a thunderbolt at Entei. "Entei dodge that now." Zeke ordered. Entei dodged but he was slower this time. "Pikachu follow with Iron-tail." Ash ordered. Pikachu's tail turned into steel and he hit Entei hard across the face with it, sending it flying into the wall. "Your Pikachu is pretty strong but don't think you'll win that easily." Zeke said. Ash wasn't thinking about winning he was thinking about what was going on in the battle. "Entei Lava Plume." Zeke ordered. Entei fired a breath of fire from his mouth. "Pikachu jump." Ash said. Pikachu jumped high above the fire. "Electro ball." Ash ordered. Pikachu fired an Electro ball at Entei hitting it on the side. The fire and smoke disappeared and Pikachu landed safely. "Alright Pikachu Volt-tackle go." Ash ordered. Electricity surrounded Pikachu and he charged at Entei and rammed right into him. Entei got knocked out. "Return Entei." Zeke said. He called back Entei. "A job well done." Zeke said. Ash hugged Pikachu who ran up to him after the battle was over.

Outside the gym Zeke was going to give Ash his badge. "You did great Ash; here I present to you the Courage badge." Zeke said. The badge was two swords crossed together. "Alright I got the Courage badge." Ash said. Pikachu, Keldo, and Dewott jumped in excitement. "Pi Pikachu." Pikachu said. "The next gym is located on the Twin Isle." Zeke explained. "Awesome I'll be taking that one." Anthony said with confidence. The group waved goodbye to Zeke and then left. "Nice kids, now I can get back to watching Star Wars." Zeke said. Zeke entered his gym.
