Alright, first (Official) Pokemon story.
Sorry for the long wait! I actually forgot all about this story!
But! I will update soon!
BEFORE YOU READ!
The style of battling I use is very different then that of the game- in all logic, why the heck would a Pokémon forget a move? In this story, a Pokémon is able to retain knowledge of previous moves, thus,-
Pokémon have more then 4 moves when battling.
(Some people don't exactly understand what i mean by this, for example, Pikachu would know Thunder, Discharge, Quick Attack, Volt Tackle and...i don't know, Leer. While in the games it is impossible to have more then 4 moves, in this, they know all 5)
Thanks
For people who wanted Ash to win- at the end i will post an Epilogue where Red watched Ash win against Paul.
Red knew that he'd freak. He'd pace himself until he was kicked out of his room by Pikachu and eventually wonder over to where Blue and Go-Jimmy, were battling.
He growled silently, looking out the window at the sunset, trying not to turn around and walk towards the stadium
He growled, throwing a Pokeball into the air, revealing Charizard, who was recently healed from its fight.
It looked at Red curiously before a look of understanding and a mocking look Charizard snorted, Red smacking it playfully as he jumped on, Pikachu taking its position by Charizard's horns, the great lizard flapping into the air, ignoring Red as said trainer glanced over his shoulder to see a powerful fire blast shoot out of the arena.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, causing Red to look at him in surprise, easily distracting him. Red smiled slightly, patting his Pikachu's head while the three shot up into the air, instantly traveling towards Mt. Silver.
Red blinked at the ice, the hail hitting in a familiar comfortable way, causing Red to smile as they neared the summit, taking a few small fun shots of fire towards wild Sneasle that snarled in anger.
Charizard roared in anger, swooping low and in between trees before breaking through the roof, smirking at an angry Ursurang that snarled from below.
Red gave a soundless laugh, swooping up once more as they broke the clouds, the stars in sight as the sun was now below the clouds. The stars and moonlight casting the clouds in sparkles, Charizard flapping over and digging its claws into the ice, landing on the edge of the cliff and looking around curiously.
Charizard walked over towards the crevice in the ice, Red noticing with surprise as the groove in the ice was broken, revealing the original crack.
Red jumped down, Pikachu leaping onto Red's shoulder as they walked over, slipping inside to investigate.
"Pika." Pikachu whispered in surprise, Red looking around in surprise as the ice was cleared in a well worn way, almost identical to how it was back in his own universe.
"Pikachu chu! Pika Pi!" Pikachu shouted, leaping down and racing down the slope towards three protruding spires of ice, each holding something.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, jumping towards the spires only to pause.
Red frowned, looking at his rather stunned Pikachu, approaching before also halting.
Three Pokeballs were set in the ice, each one more familiar then Red was caring to remember. He approached, dragging his fingers over the well worn marking of the Ultra Balls, each one slightly different from another.
He pulled them from the ice with slight difficulty, each one detaching with a slight tug on the ice. Red looking at them in slight shock before he turned, walking out of the cavern with Pikachu following.
Charizard looked up with surprise, eying the Pokeballs with slight confusion before recognition, recoiling with slight confusion at the sight. It grunted, looking at Red confused while Red looked at each of the Pokeballs with a swallow, throwing all three into the air at once.
Each exploded outwards, Charizard taking a step back as the Pokémon formed, huge in size rivaling Charizard as they swooped around, crying out loudly before landing in the ice, talons griping deeply into the ice.
Red stared eyes wide as he looked at the birds in confusion, shaking his head. He had released them.
"Pika! Pikachu chu Pikachu Pi!" Pikachu shouted, looking at all three birds which responded in their own way, looking upon Red in respect as each bowed.
"Chosen one." They chorused the three legendary birds. He had caught them due to Giovanni wanting them and trying to catch them then, only for him to release them later.
"'We have chosen to assist you in this realm. Our realm is in balance, the chaos here will benefit with our guidance over the guardians. We are the true legendary; the others are those of our children. We will battle by your side, Chosen one."
Red looked at them, and looked at Charizard, who snorted, Articuno giving a nod, Charizard nodding back, having been the one to best Articuno in battle.
Red looked at the three birds, a small smile on his face as he summoned Espeon, the violet cat looking upon the three birds with slight surprise before bowing her head in a respectful nod.
"Greetings." Moltres nodded, the flame of its plume flaring as it nodded to the creature.
"Greetings, Guardians of the sky." Espeon bowed, her voice one quiet tone that echoed among the flying birds. The psychic voice was one that Red had once heard in shock, now he didn't need to hear to know her thoughts.
"We will battle against the foes who shall harm you. We understand from the creator, that they will battle tomorrow. We look forward for our flames burning our foes."
"My ice freezing your foes."
"And my power ending those who challenge."
Red smiled, nodding in turn to Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
He slowly held up each of the Pokeballs, each returning calmly, Red hesitating before clipping them onto his belt, hidden on the inner fold. Sadly, nothing could be said for Mewtwo.
(Red remembered long ago when he caught the creature. It said that it preferred not to battle unless necessary, and that the Pokeball created a form of suspended animation. It preferred that, rather to mindless talk.)
He walked back toward Charizard, mounting the large orange dragon before the three of them swooped down, darkness over the sky as obviously the battle had ended.
They moved, swooping low over the crowd and causing quite a few people to look up and shout loudly, trying to gain his attention as he would possibly be the new winner.
He moved, Charizard's superior eyesight spotting the bustling crowd as they swooped down, the group waving with slight glee.
"Hey Red! Guess who won?" Ash asked, a smirk on his face while Red's eyes drifted to Blue, who didn't look upset, but didn't look happy.
"Yeah, you don't have anything to worry abs-"
"Hey, Blue."
They looked, Charizard growling lowly while Red let his hand move onto the mighty beast neck, stroking it calmly while trying not to make eye contact with the familiar voice.
It was younger then Red, only by a few years, not nearly filled with the child youth of Ash.
"Jimmy." Ash gasped slightly, before smiling in surprise.
"Hey Jimmy, nice battling out there." Blue smiled with a nice nod while Red tried not to look, Charizard not breaking its steady growl.
"Eh, it's all fine. It was great to battle with you! I haven't had a good challenge in a long time!" Jimmy laughed, and Red's hand paused as he heard the loud agreement from a Typhlosion.
"Oh, Red." Jimmy stated, obviously sounding eager to talk to Red.
With slight stiffening, Red turned, looking at the carbon copy of the Typlosion that he had battled years ago.
"Hey, I've watched your battles. Those were amazing! No offence Blue, but you've got your work cut out for you." Jimmy grinned, his Typhlosion smirking and roaring in agreement.
"Yeah, Red is actually an old rival of mine. I've beaten him…once, I think." Blue blinked, Red giving a slight roll of his eyes, he had just had Pikachu for less than a week and it still misbehaved.
"Wow! I'm not going to miss out on that battle! I'll root for you guys, well whoever gets to face Lance and Cynthia." Jimmy smirked, smiling at Red before giving a slight wave and walking away.
"See ya!" Jimmy laughed, his Typhlosion giving a large friendly grin before roaring happily and bounding after, leaving Red still frowning as he looked at Charizard, whose eyes were still narrowed in barely restrained anger.
"Hey, Jimmy's really nice." May smiled, looking at Blue who gave a slight smile.
"You have no idea. He's cocky when battling, but nice outside the field." Blue nodded, Ash looking at him in surprise.
"Hey, you've met Jimmy before, right?" Misty asked, Red looking up at Blue with a warning look in his eye.
"Yeah, he battled me and won. He's… he's more of Red's rival." Blue shrugged, causing the group to look at Red, noting his tense posture.
"Wow, I wonder he did to make Red so upset." Max stated with surprise, looking at May who shrugged.
"They didn't meet on the best of terms." Blue tried to explain, Red saying nothing as he recalled Charizard, his Pikachu jumping onto his shoulder.
"Pikachu?" Ash's Pikachu asked, glancing in the direction that Jimmy walked off to.
"Pika. Pika Pikachu pi. Pika pi Pikachu." Red's Pikachu spoke, waving its tail in the direction of Jimmy, Ash's Pikachu recoiling in complete surprise, its jaw dropping open with a "Pi?"
"Pika." Pikachu nodded somberly, waving goodbye as Red started walking away, hands shoved in his pocket as he lowered his hat, obscuring his face.
"What was that?" Misty asked in surprise, noticing Red's swift departure.
"I guess seeing Jimmy again was too much. He's not really…good, with that sort of stuff." Blue shrugged.
"Okay…so we'll see Red tomorrow?" Brock asked with a frown while Dawn sighed, placing her hands on her hip.
"You know Ash, for being your counterpart, Red sure isn't like you." Dawn sighed, her Piplup agreeing.
Ash shrugged and Blue sighed, "Red's gone through a lot. He always tells me something like, 'If people think you're mute, they think that you can't hear them as well,' or something like that."
"Huh, odd thing to live by." May shrugged, causing the group to start to walk back towards the hotel.
Red had already gone to his room, sitting on his bed while looking at all of his Pokémon, carefully looking at each of his Pokémon, sitting around his room, all excepting Snorlax.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, the occupants of the room giving a slight nod while Pikachu gave a rundown of the battle tomorrow. Charizard snorted, talking to Venusaur who grumbled back an understanding.
"Pika- Pikachu chu!" Pikachu explained, and Red smiled slightly as the low grumbles of excitement spread, telling them of the battle against Blue.
"Stoise." Blastoise growled, looking at Charizard who gave a slight nod.
Red looked at the door, hearing the quiet knocks and Espeon looked, tilting her head as she opened the door with psychic, allowing access to the room.
"Esp." Espeon nodded, turning and playfully brushing her tails in an almost mocking way, causing Red to arch one eyebrow.
'There is only one person to whom Espeon acts like that to.' Red thought with an internal laugh while Paul awkwardly walked in, remaining cool and indifferent.
Red gave a slight nod of his head, looking at Paul with calculating crimson eyes while Paul gave a slight nod.
"I figured that you wouldn't watch Blue's battle. He won with one Pokémon left, although the other's Typhlosion took out two of his Pokémon. The Togatic also made some damage. I wish you the best of luck tomorrow."
Red gave a slight nod, Espeon bounding over playfully before drawing her tail over Paul's arm, finding amusement in his stiffened reaction of withdrawing his arm.
"Spe?" Espeon asked with a confused yip, causing Paul to pull away, walking towards the door with a slight wave, Espeon giving a loud purr as she stated her goodbye with a loud "Esp Espeon!"
The Pokémon watched, Venusaur especially taking amusement in Espeon while it gave a loud rumble of laughter, Blastoise putting in a "Blas-Blastoise." Causing Pikachu to chirp loudly in amusement before falling into laughter.
Red gave a slight smile, nodding to Espeon who mentally flicked the light switch, causing the room to be covered in darkness as each Pokémon settled down, leaning around each other like a family, Charizard's tail wrapped around Blastoise's shell while Espeon was perched on Venusaur's back, who was leaning comfortably next to Blastoise.
Red sat there, staring at his starter as it finally fell asleep, curling around his hat which he took off only for those occasions.
Eventually he sighed, giving a small sigh as he ran a hand between Pikachu's ears, causing his Pokémon to look at him with a dopy confused look while Red gave a slight smile.
"Chu." Pikachu muttered in sleep, squirming over to tuck in under Red's throat, curling up tightly and forgetting about the hat.
Red smiled, gently closing his eyes as the sound of Espeon's purrs set him to sleep.
x-(X)-x
The seating was more insane than ever before. Just to emphasize how large the final battle was, they were to meet in the underground complex before taking their positions and being lifted up onto an elevated platform to then command their Pokémon.
Red gave a small smile, walking into the complex and letting all of his Pokémon out, the six walking around while stretching for warm up, Red taking advantage of the large area and time by releasing Snorlax, letting Espeon debrief Snorlax on their opponent.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked, looking at the four Pokeballs still on Red's hip.
Red let his hand drift over the four, shaking his head at Pikachu, practically stating 'I'm using the Pokémon which I've worked with all my life.'
"Pika!" Pikachu squealed in glee, looking happily as each Pokémon roared in their own glee, before manually returning themselves. Charizard pressing his muzzle to the ball, and the other following suit.
"Saur." Red looked over, seeing his Venusaur looking at him with a turn of its head, causing Red to walk over curiously.
"Venu-Saur saur." Venusaur muttered, looking actually slightly hesitant while Red smile, gently stroking one of Venusaur's large petals on its back, straightening a few crumpled petals in a way he knew Venusaur loved.
He smiled, looking at Venusaur while lowering himself to his knees, looking at Venusaur in his eyes. He smiled, not a cool indifferent one but an honest smile, running his hands along Venusaur's neck, scratching under the leaves and removing a few dried scales from Venusaur's snout.
Red turned his head with a smile, asking silently, 'You ready for this?'
"Saur!" Venusaur smiled, stomping its foot once before giving a nod, letting Red return it as he walked towards the lifting platform as instructed.
"First, we have Blue! A mystery trainer who has managed to defeat all competition before him with a stunning amount of power! Blue's most common Pokémon used to date is his Arcanine."
Red waited, letting out a small smile, pulling his hat low over his face as he moved, ready for a full out honest battle.
It had been so long.
"And second! We have Red, a mystery trainer who appeared just as Blue did! Red, a Pokémon trainer who managed to defeat nearly all trainers using only his Pikachu! Out of all of Red's Pokémon, the only known ones are Charizard, Espeon, and Pikachu!"
Red's platform rose, and he stood, not gripping the railings but instead standing calmly as he lifted up.
The sounds of the stadium hit his ears, causing Red to look up slightly, seeing Blue across the arena, who was letting out a low breath.
"Trainers! Face each other and shake hands, signaling the final championship battle!"
The two stepped down, walking down and across the stage, slowly shaking hands while Blue gave a small smile.
"It's nice to battle you again. This time, I won't lose. I'll beat you like before." Blue nodded, and Red gave a small smirk.
"What's this?" The announcer stated, Red not spotting the cameraman with a microphone until too late, "It seems that both Red and Blue have battles before! Not only that, but both have won over the other! Who will win in this championship rematch?"
They said nothing, moving back towards the railing and standing, waiting.
"Now! Trainers, release your Pokémon!"
Red nodded, throwing a Pokeball into the air, revealing Pikachu while a Jolteon appeared on Blue's side, spitting and ready to fight.
"A Pikachu and Jolteon! A battle of electricity and speeds here! Who will win? The first move is determined by the least amount of time in battle, which is Red! Trainers are allowed to swap Pokémon at any time during the battle, even using Pokémon previously registered although not the original six, keeping us surprised. Begin!"
"Jolt!" Jolteon snarled, Pikachu mimicking the same growl as they stood, gently moving, the other mimicking and slowly moving into a circle.
"It doesn't seem like Red has decided what his move will be yet! I have a feeling this battle will be one of the biggest yet!"
"Pika!" Pikachu growled, cheeks sparking while Jolteon bristled.
Red lifted his hands, before pointedly snapping, Pikachu vanishing with impressive speed, Jolteon jumping without a command and landing across from where Pikachu stood before, causing the two to continue circling.
"Red has made his first move! Although it seems like nothing has happened, Blue now has the right to return attack."
"Jolteon, you know what to do." Blue nodded, Jolteon bristling as the two growled at each other.
Pikachu darted forward with a Quick Attack, Jolteon responding with one of its own, both colliding and landing apart, almost as if nothing had happened.
"The two attacks seem evenly matched!"
"Again!" Blue nodded, Jolteon speeding forward, slamming a hit on Pikachu and sending it flying into the air, only for it to slam down with a powerful Iron Tail, sending both Pokémon away as they continued, pacing around.
"The two don't seem to be injured at all!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted with a hiss, tail waving wildly in anger.
"Jolt!" Jolteon growled, releasing an array of Pin Missiles, all which vanished by Pikachu's powerfully charged Thunderbolt.
"Pi." Pikachu hissed, racing forward with Agility, vanishing from sight while Jolteon activated Double Team, creating copies while slowly, each copy vanished from a precise Quick Attack, destroying every copy while Jolteon attempted to create more.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted victoriously, sending Jolteon flying as it hit firmly, sending the Pokémon skidding across the ground with a wince.
"He's stronger then last time. Much." Blue muttered, Jolteon giving a nod of agreement.
"Jolt." Jolteon snorted, jumping back while firing off even more Pin Missiles, causing Pikachu to suddenly…disappear, and appearing again from where it had dodged with amazing speed.
"Incredible! Has Red's Pikachu been holding out on us?"
Red's Pikachu watched carefully while Jolteon jumped back, standing below Blue's platform while sitting on its haunches, Pikachu jumping back while sitting also, remaining warily.
"…You've improved, Red." Blue nodded, raising his voice enough for Red to hear, who smirked, lifting a Pokeball and returning Pikachu just as Blue did with Jolteon.
"What? Both trainers have returned their Pokémon and are now about to use a new one without dealing any major damage!"
"I know you've wanted a rematch, go for it Arc." Blue nodded, releasing his mighty large fire type dog which roared in the heat of battle, eying Red eagerly while tensing, already knowing which Pokémon was going to be released.
Charizard had barely been in the air before a strong flamethrower shot through the air across from it, causing the lizard to dive and landing on the ground, causing it to shake slightly.
"Charizard and Arcanine! A battle of fire and fangs!"
The two beasts roared, growling angrily while Charizard gathered a glowing orange orb in its maw, Arcanine snarling and tensing, jumping and springing high into the air to avoid the Heat Wave, snapping at Charizard as it flapped into the air, nearly getting Arcanine with a metal claw as it swooped.
"Arcanine! Thunder Fang!" Blue shouted, the dog landing before springing up, tackling the large dragon with a momentum it could have been a Slam, before the two crashed to the ground, biting deep at the dragon who roared in pain, back and wings arching as electricity circulated through.
Charizard roared, glowing red before exploding with power, Arcanine snarling as it was tossed into the air, speeding back with Extremespeed only to be deflected with a Shadow Claw.
Arcanine landed with a wince, rolling once before jumping, landing another Thunder Fang while Charizard once more shook it off with an Overheat, sending the poor dog flying as Charizard flinched, body shuddering through the paralyzing effect.
"Arcanine! Get in with one more Thunder Fang, then finish with." Blue nodded, noticing the wincing properties of Charizard.
Red's eyes widened as Arcanine charged, the electricity in its fangs turning to an incredible force as it grew closer.
Charizard reared its head back, a Heat Wave growing in its mouth, if both attacks hit, both would be dangerously injured.
Red shook his head, using his hand and patting his side, the muffled noise reaching Charizard who snorted in surprise but did not object the command.
The ball of glowing Orange grew, changing shape to a crimson red that matched Red's eyes before Charizard closed its mouth, watching as Arcanine lunged, mouth opening as it drew closer…
The pure utter power of Charizard was felt by the audience as through the flames, a giant crimson inferno of fire exploded, swooping up in the soundless shape of Charizard itself, a silent cry besides the roar of the flames themselves as the move attacked Arcanine, dwarfing it in size and in power by Arceus' power itself.
The fire folded on itself, Charizard still standing but panting slightly while Arcanine was down, fainted from the incredible power of the move.
"I- I don't know what to say…"
"Return Arcanine. You did a good job." Blue smiled, swallowing the dread he had felt the moment he realized that Red had commanded a Blast Burn.
"Go, Alakazam." Blue smiled, nodding while he sent the large Pokémon out. Once the Pokémon had spotted his opponent it instantly let its eyes glow blue, a bright light flashing into the sky before it lowered its spoons, glaring at Charizard, who snorted.
"Psychic!"
Charizard flapped, slowly gaining air through its exhaustion of using a Blast Burn, an obvious weakness of the powerful move.
"You're fault Red, you're recharge time was just what I needed." Blue smiled, the move snatching Charizard and slamming the flimsy flying type into the ground repeatedly while then firing off a Psybeam just to make sure the large dragon was down.
After all, it didn't matter with the amount of attacks, but rather the power behind them.
Charizard was returned, instead Espeon was sent out, Blue's jaw locking in slight worry as he observed the intelligent lavender creature.
"It seems that Red has enough Pokémon to match Blue type for type. Does Red also have a Pokémon to match Blastoise, Gyarados and Pidgeot?"
"Espeon!" Espeon shouted, a glowing ball of dark energy in her jaw as she released it.
"Dodge it!" Blue shouted, Alakazam using a Psybeam to break the super effective Shadow Ball before it could make impact, leaving the feline to scowl, looking at Alakazam, her long time psychic foe.
"Psybeam." Blue nodded, Espeon firing off a similar beam, the two converging as they hit, eventually creating a display of a single beam between the two before an explosion occurred from the blasts, a well placed confusion moved it.
"Esp!" Espeon shouted, firing off another Shadow Ball, this time, Alakazam using Psychic to redirect the ball back at Espeon who shrieked at the impact, out of anger using a sudden Psychic.
Alakazam groaned as it was mentally assaulted, Espeon snarling on the other side as it ravaged the poor Pokémon's mind, destroying its powerful psychic connections as its tail flickered, draining power from Alakazam at a startling rate.
Sccr-Bam!
"Peon!" Espeon howled as a powerful wave of energy was smote down from the sky, slamming into Espeon who crumpled from the Future Sight attack, passing out completely as Alakazam used a Teleport and a swift Psycho Cut to the fallen feline's form, knocking it out.
"Return." Blue nodded, recalling his tired and nearly fainted Pokémon as Red recalled his own, the true battle becoming more and more brutal as time wore on.
"Ve-nusaur!" A Venusaur roared, looking upon Blue with a challenging look on its eye as it spotted its long time rival.
"One of Red's Pokémon! A Venusaur!"
"Go, knock it out Pidgeot." Blue nodded, releasing his beautiful bird into the air.
"It looks like Blue has the advantage here! Not only that, but Blue also has only one Pokémon fainted while Red has two! Blue has his Alakazam and his Jolteon, while Red has only his Pikachu."
"Saur!" Venusaur growled, shifting the flower on its back while Pidgeot cried out with little worry, flapping wildly as a wind was created in the air- a Tailwind.
"Hurricane, finish it!" Blue shouted, and the crowd watched eagerly while Venusaur created a Vine Whip, spreading across the arena and gripping parts of the shattered ground from the previous battles.
The move was powerful, possibly one of the strongest air attacks Venusaur had ever been hit with. However, since Venusaur had little speed, it had nearly tripled its defense, gaining power and resistance from such attacks by Charizard's several Air slash's. It winced as the painful stinging burned, but didn't back down as Pidgeot finished frantically flying, landing and panting while Venusaur laid there, not moving.
"I expected Venusaur to be toughe-" Blue cut off as Venusaur's eyes snapped open, glared, glowing with power from Synthesis while Pidgeot tried to catch his breath.
Once more, Red patted his leg.
Venusaur roared, rearing back then slamming its legs into the ground, the earth trembling as it split, long tendrils of roots exploding upwards, grabbing Pidgeot and pinning it to the ground as the vines grew thorns in front of his eye, the painful stinging enough for Pidgeot to cry out in agony.
Venusaur's flower opened, and started absorbing sunlight while the Frenzy Plant nearly destroyed Pidgeot right there and then.
"I'm sorry, my friend." Blue spoke in a soft whisper, the bird looking at him and bowing its head in acceptance.
The Frenzy Plant held no mercy as it brought the captured bird close to Venusaur, who released the Solar beam point blank.
"Saur!" Venusaur roared, looking victoriously while Pidgeot lay in a crumpled heap, both Pokémon being recalled.
"Looks now like the score is tied! One more Pokémon to faint and we will have our break."
Red's eyes narrowed. Blue's Pokémon had trained, not enough to spare him from his defeat though. Charizard's and Espeon's fall had been due to his miscommunication. It would not happen again.
"Go! Gyarados!"
"Pika!"
"Pikachu is out once more!"
"Dodge! Keep moving and use Hyper Beam!"
"It looks like both trainer's aren't using basic attacks anymore, and are now relying on the basic skill of larger finishing battle moves such as Hyper Beam."
"Pika…CHU!" Pikachu roared, throwing its hands up in the air as a powerful electrical beam of Thunder was sent down from the heavens, Gyarados roaring in agony as the powerful Thunder was sent at it, it managed to point the Hyper Beam and release it just as its eyes slid shut.
A blinding flash of light and the crowd gasped, looking at the scene in eagerness.
"Pika." Pikachu nodded, having easily dodged the attack and looking at the single kit KO of Gyarados.
"A-and we have a break. The battle will continue momentarily."
Red stood, walking over towards his bench with a sigh, looking at Pikachu who looked slightly worn, nothing that he couldn't handle.
"Pikachu chu?" Pikachu asked, looking at Espeon and Charizard's poke ball, Red gently set them down, Pikachu curling up near them for a slight rest.
"Red." Red turned, seeing the others walking towards him after having talked with Blue most likely.
He arched an eyebrow and Ash shifted, not sure what to say while Misty gave a small fake punch at his arm.
"What Ash means to say is that your battle's really fun to watch. You're doing great." Dawn grinned, her Piplup chirping an agreement.
Red gave a slight nod, looking at the timer before pulling Pikachu back, pausing before placing the creature on his shoulder as he slipped both Charizard and Espeon's Pokeballs on his hip as he walked up.
"Alakazam." Blue nodded, summoning the still tired creature to the field.
Red paused before throwing a Pokeball on the field, revealing the only last starter Pokémon.
"Blastoise." Blastoise stated proudly, standing proudly while the announcers jumped into excitement.
"Amazing! Red has all three of the Kanto starter Pokémon! As well as an Espeon, the evolved form of a previously used starter before the discovery of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. What Pokémon is Red's last?"
Red nodded holding his hand out, palm upwards while Blastoise gave a nod, understanding the command.
"Alakazam, Psychic!" Blue shouted, and Blastoise sent out a powerful jet of water, stopping Alakazam as it was blasted back.
"Amazing! One of the strongest Water Pulses I've ever seen!"
"Stoise!" Blastoise shouted, moving into a fast rapid spin and charging Alakazam, who halted the shell only a small ways away from Alakazam.
"Blas!" Blastoise roared, bursting from its shell with a powerful Skull Bash, sending Alakazam stumbling backwards.
Blastoise seemed to smirk before a powerful blue ball of light grew in its claws, growing larger and larger.
"What? How can this be? I was never aware that a Blastoise could learn Focus Blast!"
'Trust Red to meet someone who can teach a Blastoise a fighting move.' Blue internally cursed before shouting loudly, "Alakazam! Teleport!"
The blast was deafening, Blastoise standing determinedly before it wriggled in its shell, storm clouds gathering above as rain started to fall.
"Great job Alakazam. Return. Guess it's up to you." Blue smiled, throwing his pokeball…
"Blastoise!"
"Blas blas!"
"Toise! Blastoise!"
The two large turtles shouted at each other, probably taunting before Red flicked his fingers, Blastoise returning with a bright red light of its pokeball.
"What?" Blue asked with a blink before horror dawning on his face.
He had just sent Blastoise out.
In a rain storm.
"PIKA!"
There was no way to avoid the Thunder as the clouds had come, Blue could only close his eyes, he heard Blastosie say calmly its name, as if accepting an apology Blue didn't dare say aloud in front of camera.
"Blastoise is down with just one hit! Amazing! Will Red keep Pikachu out on the field? Or will he return it and continue this odd frantic pattern?"
"I'm so sorry," Blue whispered to Blastoise's pokeball, sending out Jolteon who blinked in the rain before growling, showing its teeth.
Pikachu was returned, and instead Venusaur was sent out, blinking in the rain as it looked at Jolteon with a snort, shifting its flower.
"Jolteon! Thunder!"
"Venusaur!" Venusaur roared, being struck by the move as it flinched slightly, but slowly and surely continued to move towards the frozen Jolteon, who was too busy maintaining the powerful Thunder.
"Venusaur can take Jolteon's Thunder! This is amazing! I wonder what it's going to do!"
"Saur!"
Double-Edge slammed into Jolteon, sending it sprawling as once again, Frenzy Plant was at work as it made quick business of Jolteon, the Venusaur finishing up with a swift Petal Dance.
"Red is the winner of this year's Silver Conference Tournament! This means, that tomorrow Red will compete against Champion Lance and his team of Dragon Pokémon, and Champion Cynthia, and her mixed Pokémon team! We hope to see you tomorrow!"
Red gave a nod, walking across the field towards Blue who sighed, recalling Jolteon with a frown.
"You battled really well Blue!" May smiled, and Blue shook his head.
"No, I didn't even see Snorlax." He sighed, causing Red to give a slight smile before shaking his head.
"Snorlax? You took out two of his Pokémon!"
"But I beat him once!"
"Quiet!" Misty shouted, causing the two to grow quiet in their bickering while Blue gave a small smile, offering a hand to Red, "Great job Red. Beat Lance, will ya'?"
Red smirked and gave a nod. His Pikachu chirping happily.
"Wow, you're…you both are really good." Ash blinked, still looking slightly shocked over the whole ordeal.
Red's Pikachu laughed, Ash's joined in.
Review! Thanks for reading, and I hope the battling isn't too odd for you to understand.
~Oceanbreeze7
Alright, i hope you liked that battle, it was a fun one to write.
In case you haven't noticed. If Red taps his leg, it's one of the finishing moves. Just so you can look for it in the future. :)
