It was about an hour after the battle had begun. Time moves by fast during battles. The two young trainers were battling it out. As of now there was a monferno on each end of the field. The girl trainer was losing, two pokemon to one. Yet she still had hope. The boy on the other side was known for being a strong trainer, but she never expected the battle to last longer than this.
"Monferno, start off with a Fire Spin!" Yasmin yelled out. The playful pokemon opened its mouth and let out a ring of fire around the other.
"Monferno, jump up!" Ash's Monferno jumped up and out of the way of the flames. "Now use flamethrower!" Commanded Ash as his Monferno opened its mouth and let out powerful flames.
"Jump, Monferno!" But Yasmin was a bit too slow, the attack hit. Luckily for her it was a fire type attack, meaning it was not that effective to Monferno. But Monferno still cringed a bit from the fire. "Monferno please get up!" Yasmin pleaded, making the pokemon stand with a few scratches. "Monferno use Mach Punch!" Monferno started to run to the other.
"Monferno, you use Mach Punch too!" Ash yelled out. The two pokemon were quickly running at each other with one of their fists glowing. When the two impact, there was a bright light and then smoke. When the smoke had lifted, Ash's Monferno had some scratches, but Yasmin's was lying on the ground. It was trying to stand. At this point everyone was quiet, even the cheerleading teams in the bleachers.
Come on Monferno. You can do this. Yasmin thought. As soon as she said that, her Monferno started to glow.
"No way!" Yasmin said. "PIkachu!" Pika shouted out as everyone started at the Pokémon's changing silhouette. Out of the light, soon appeared a fully grown and powerful Infernape. Yasmin took out her pokédex to check the new pokemon. "Infernape, the Flame Pokémon and the evolved form of Monferno. It uses unique fighting moves with fire on its hands and feet. It will take on any opponent."
"Dude! That's super cool beans!" Yasmin hopped in the air a bit as Infernape turned around, cheering with her.
"Okay Infernape! Since you're super fast now, use Flamethrower!" As she said that, a huge flame came out of her pokemon's mouth and aimed directly at Ash's Monferno. Monferno took the attack. But shoock it off as nothing. "Monferno use dig!" The pokemon dug underground.
"Oh not this attack again," Yasmin remembered how Gible used the attack on her Kingdra. "Infernape, be prepared for anything! And remember what I thought you to do during surprise attack!" Yasmin told her new ape like pokemon. Infernape nodded.
"You know Dawn, Your Pachirisu looks pretty cute dressed up like this." Josephine was looking at the two Pachirisu playing. They both had little pom poms.
"Yeah but mine's probably better trained than yours is." Dawn picked up her pokemon and started to walk away.
"What was that?"
Stopping, but keeping her back turned, Dawn said "I said my pokemon are better trained and cuter than yours.
"Augh!" Something had broken inside of Josephine, making her kindness turn to rage. She pulled out two pockets from her back pockets. "I took these out for my next Contest," She said looking at them. "But I'll use them on you! Go Plusle and Minun!" She threw up the Pokéballs, releasing the two adorable pokemon, saying their names in unison before making electric pom-poms and doing a twirl. Though the cute appearance, Dawn suddenly became afraid of the two pokemon standing in front of her.
"W-where did you get those?" Dawn nervously said. Plusle and Minun were staring at her strangely.
"I caught them when Yasmin and I went to Hoenn. I was going to use them in my next contest but I felt like Dee Dee wanted to see them." Josephine mocked with a creepy grin on her face.
"Why does everyone know about that?" Dawn yelled out as she ran to the other side of the bleachers.
"Shows you," Josephine smirked and went back to watching the battle as her plus and minus pokemon danced around.
Monferno had popped up out of the ground behind Infernape, who had its eyed closed. Ash didn't know but Infernape was trying to sense where Monferno was for it to attack. But once it heard Monferno's claws from out of the tunnel, it turned around for a quick close combat. The fighting type attack was enough to knock Monferno unconscious.
"All Right Infernape!" Yasmin said as she returned the happy pokemon.
Ash returned his Monferno and praised it. "You ready for the next one?" Ash said as he enlarged the next pokéball.
"Bring it on." Yasmin grinned as she threw her pokéball. The lights disappeared to reveal Ash's Grotle and Yasmin's Beautifly.
Beautifly should be pretty tried from battle with Buizel before. But then again it seems tougher than it looks. Ash thought about what he was to do first.
"Grotle! Use Razor Leaf!" Ash commanded as a hoard of leaves flew out of the bushes on grove Pokémon's back.
"Beautifly! Use Gust to blow it back!" Yasmin said as Beautifly flapped its wings, creating a strong burst of wind. The wind made the leaves turn back to Grotle, causing damage along with the gust. This pushed Grotle back, but it was still ready to go.
"Beautifly now use Silver Wind!" The butterfly pokemon flapped its wings vigorously, letting off small scales as well. "Grotle dodge!" But Ash was too late and the scales hit Grotle. Grotle slide back more and looked tried, but Beautifly looked weaker.
"Grotle use Energy Ball!" Ash yelled as Beautifly was flapping its wings slowly.
"Beautifly try and fly away!" Beautifly tried to run away from Grotle but couldn't get far enough in time and was hit by the green orb.
Beautifly looks like it doesn't have that much left in it. Hope this attack works. "Beautifly use Psychic!" Beautifly's eyes glowed as Grotle was forced to run around the field and hit itself into the ground.
"Grotle try and break free by using Rock Climb!" Ash thought to release his poor pokemon from its torture. Grotle growled and its claws grew out. Beautifly threw it across the battle grounds, where it laid. But Grotle stood up and began to run at Beautifly with its great Rock Climb. Beautifly couldn't fly away in enough time before Grotle jumped into the air and shot a final Energy Ball out from its trainer's commands. Yasmin's Beautifly fell to the ground with a thud.
"Oh Beautifly," Yasmin cried out in sorrow. "You did such a wonderful job." Yasmin smiled as she returned her pokemon.
Ash returned his Grotle as well before he grabbed another pokéball.
"So Ketchum, you're pretty good at this." Yasmin smirked at him across the field.
"You're not too bad yourself." Ash said in the same tone.
"Go!" The trainers shouted as they threw the capsules. Ash re sent out Gible and Yasmin sent out her Leafeon.
"Okay Leafeon, this is our first battle since you evolved. Let's show this guy how awesome we are!" said the girl to her long time friend. "Leafeon, let's start this off with a Magical Leaf!"
Leafeon pulled its head back and then forward as it shot glowing leaves out from its ear to Gible. Gible tried to run but was hit head on by the high speed, grass attack. Gible flew across the field and was knocked unconscious.
"What happened?" Ash questioned as he was returning Gible. He looked at Yasmin, stunned by her powerful partner.
"Leafeon is at such a high level that Gible couldn't compete. But I guess that just the way it goes for strong trainers." Yasmin said cockily as Ash glared at her.
"Well you've seen enough for now. Leafeon, return!" Yasmin said as her Pokemon was sent back into the beam of light. "You're doing great." Yasmin smiled before she grabbed another pokéball. "Go Infernape!" Yasmin re sent her newly evolved pokemon.
"Go, Staraptor!" Ash said as he threw the red and white orb out.
"Infernape use a Flamethrower!" Yasmin quickly ordered. Infernape let out a blast of fire, which Staraptor flew around, dodging each attack.
"Staraptor use Wing Attack!" Ash yelled out as Staraptor's wings glowed and it flew closer to the ape like Pokemon. "Infernape jump!" Yasmin thought that would help but then remembered Staraptor can fly, which it did to hit Infernape head on. Infernape flew back but stood up slowly.
"Infernape, use Mach Punch!" Yasmin said as it started to run at Staraptor with a glowing paw. It jumped, trying to reach the foe, but fell to the ground as its target flew up into the air.
"Infernape!" Yasmin yelled out. The field was covered in dust that Infernape had thrown up from the fall. Surprisingly, that fall knocked out Infernape. "Return!" Yasmin said. "You did great out there." Yasmin gleefully said before grabbing the next pokéball. "Ready, Ash? Go!" Yasmin threw the ball to show Leafeon once again. "Leafeon is still good to go but I don't know about your Staraptor." She smugly said.
Ash didn't respond. He was thinking about what to do. If Leafeon has just evolved the other day then it would still know its attacks from being an Eevee. But what attacks could it have known.
"What's your first move going to be Ketchum?" Yasmin awoke Ash from his thoughts.
Ash looked at Staraptor and said "Start off with a quick attack!" Staraptor began to fly close to verdant Pokemon.
When Staraptor was close to Leafeon, Yasmin yelled out "Leafeon use Bite!" The Pokemon bit down hard on one of Staraptor's wings. Staraptor was trying to fly back to Ash, but he could tell that the wing was badly hurt.
"How can a Leafeon know Bite?" Brock questioned from his post.
"Eevee can learn different moves when they are breed from other eevees. Both my parents had an Eevee once. I guess that's how my friend over here knows bite." Yasmin was actually teaching the breeder about breeding Pokemon. Brock looked at Yasmin and then at Leafeon, intrigued by it. "Leaf!" the Pokemon said happily.
Ash grabbed another pokéball and stared at it for a minute. He then looked down at Pikachu. "You ready to battle buddy?"
"Pika!" Pikachu cheered before running out to the field.
"Oh you're gonna use Pikachu now? Well Leafeon will stay. And I think we should start off with a Magical Leaf!" Yasmin commanded as Leafeon started up the attack again. As Leafeon shot the leaves out its ears again, Ash yelled "Pikachu jump and then use thunderbolt!" Pikachu jumped into the air, the leaves flying under and past it. Pikachu surrounded itself with electricity saying "Pi ka," and then tried to electrify the Pokemon dodging the attacks with a "Chu!" each time it shot another Thunderbolt.
"Keep it up Leafeon! For just a bit longer." Yasmin said to her Pokemon. It was quiet fast. Leafeon's going to get tried soon. So we better attack.
"Pikachu, that's enough!" Ash yelled as he saw the electric mouse becoming tried. Pikachu landed on the ground and glared at Leafeon, as it glared back.
"Leafeon, use Return!" Yasmin said in a sweeter way than she had said her other commands. Leafeon got excited and run to Pikachu, hitting the electric type with its paws multiple times.
"What attack was that?" Ash said after Pikachu had flown backwards and Leafeon was smiling happily.
"Return is a move which's power is affected by how much the user likes their trainer. I thought Eevee that attack a long time ago and it's gotten more powerful through the years. That's y it was really hard for Eevee not to become an Espeon or Umbreon."
"So why didn't it evolve into one of those?"
"I'll tell you later. Like after I beat you in this battle!"
"You wish! Pikachu use Volt Tackle!" Pikachu had lasted through the last attack and began running at the other Pokemon with its special attack.
"Leafeon jump!" But Pikachu was too quick and hit Leafeon, causing it to take all the damage. Pikachu jumped back to Ash with a flip in the air. Leafeon was trying to stand. It wobbled a bit but then stood strong.
"Leafeon, do you still want to battle?" Yasmin didn't want it to get hurt and it already was in pretty bad condition.
"Leaf Leafeon!" The Pokemon replied with a smile, ensuring the trainer that it was okay.
"Good. Okay now just stand there for now okay." "Leafeon!" Leafeon stood in its position, staring Pikachu down.
What's she up to? Ash thought. "Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" Pikachu was running towards Leafeon until Yasmin shouted, "Now use Grass Knot!"
Leafeon's eyes glowed green as grass grew out from the battle field and tripped Pikachu. Pikachu slid forward until it stopped in front of Leafeon, who looked creepily at the poor mouse.
"Pikachu use Iron Tail!" Ash commanded as Pikachu stood up, its tail glowing, and hit Leafeon multiple times with its tail. Leafeon was being beaten back and forth, crying its name every so offend until Pikachu stopped the attack. Pikachu jumped a bit back as the two Pokemon were still staring each other down. Leafeon suddenly closed its eye and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Leafeon!" Yasmin yelped as she ran to her pokemon, cradling its head. "Are you okay?" Yasmin asked it as the Pokemon slowly opened its eyes. "Leaf." it said with a small nod before closing its eyes again.
"Return." Yasmin said as she returned her long time friend. She looked at Ash with quiet a serious look before walking back to her spot as a trainer. She looked down at Pika. "You're all I have left. But you're my best fighter." She kneeled down to about Pika's height. She then hugged it. "I want you to try you're very best. Even if you like Pikachu you need to fight it." She whispered before letting it go. "I'll love you no matter the outcome of this battle okay." Yasmin looked at her mouse Pokémon's eyes. "ChuPi, pi pichu kapi!" Pika smiled before it ran into the battle field. It rubbed its face and tried to make itself look angry.
"Using Pika finally? Well Pikachu come back here." Ash said as Pikachu ran back to Ash. "Go Grotle!"
Grotle looked at Pika. Pika hasn't battled yet so this may be tough for Grotle. Ash thought as he looked at his Pokemon covered in scratches.
"Grotle start off with a Razor Leaf!" Ash said as it shot out sharp leaves from the bushes on its back.
"Pika use dig!" Pika burrowed under the ground, evading all of the leaves.
"This is your chance Grotle, use Synthesis!" Grotle's back started glowing as it looked up at the sun.
Damn it. Of course it knows an attack like that. "Pika now!" Pika jumped up in front of Grotle, stopping the healing attack by hitting it with its paws.
Yasmin smiled as Grotle slid back. "Grotle use Energy Ball," Ash said. "You think you've got us beat Yasmin beat I doubt you expected this! Grotle swallow the Energy Ball!"
"Say What?" Yasmin gasp as the grove pokemon ate the orb, making the bushes it had glow with a green energy.
"That looks so pretty." Josephine was mesmerized by the light coming out of the Pokemon.
"It works great for Mamoswine and me too." Dawn said as she remembered the sparkling ice which occurred from the swallowing of ice shard.
"I feel like I saw that before somewhere. I think it was on TV that one time."
"You watched the contest at a Pokemon center or something?"
"Na, I only watch the appeal round mostly unless it's a double performance. Those are really cool."
"It's really cool to be in one too."
"Yeah I know." Josephine said as she looked at her Plusle and Minun, remembering the time she used them in a double performance.
"So it just swallowed it without getting hurt. Wow." Yasmin said through her shock as she continued to stare at it.
"Yeah but now," Ash changed his tone back to battle mode. "Use Rock Climb Grotle!" Grotle's claws grew out as it ran across the field at Pika.
"Pika, stop it with a Thunderbolt!" Pika jumped in the air, like Pikachu had done before. It shot out a much more powerful bolt. This caused Grotle to fly back, unable to battle more.
"Alright Pika!" Yasmin cheered as her Pokemon jumped in the air happily.
"How was it that powerful?" Ash questioned.
"I gave Pika this thing called a Light Ball. It's hidden in her fur so she doesn't really know where it is. Light Ball doubles the power of special attacks, like Thunderbolt." Yasmin said confidently. Hopefully it should help with defeating Pikachu.
"Okay. Pikachu, I choose you!" Ash yelled as Pikachu jumped up and onto the battle field.
"Pika, are you ready?" Yasmin looked at her friend. "Cha," Pika responded happily with thumbs up.
"Okay Pika, start with a Quick Attack!" The mouse ran quickly to the other.
"Pikachu use your Quick Attack too!" Now both Pokemon were quickly running to each other.
"I knew you'd do that."
"What?" Ash was scared now.
"Pika switch to a ThunderPunch!" Pika's paw was surrounded by electricity as it punched Pikachu right in the face. Pikachu flew backwards as Pika flipped back into its position.
"Pikachu, are you okay?" Ash quickly asked as his Pokemon stood. "Pika!" It insured. "Pikachu use a Volt Tackle!" Pikachu, surrounded with the yellow energy, ran to tackle Pika.
"Pika jump!" Yasmin yelled. But Pikachu jumped too, hitting Pika head on. Pika fell behind Yasmin. The girl trainer looked at her poor Pokemon, worried. But it stood, covered in starches. It walked back to the field, the bow on its ear being reduced to a piece of string still tied on. When Pika got back to its place, it was shocked out of nowhere.
"Oh no! Pika! You're paralyzed!" Yasmin was now fretful that Ash would win. This can't be happening.
Ash smiled as he told Pikachu, "Use Quick Attack now!" Pikachu was running across the field as Pika was half on the ground in pain. But then electricity around her soon faded and Yasmin took her chance. "Pika, Dig!" And with that Pika barely missed the attack.
Pikachu stood there, looking around, trying to find Pika before she attacked.
"Pika, now!" She jumped up behind Pikachu and started to hit him rapidly with her paws.
"Cha." Pikachu yelped as he fell back. He looked at Pika, who looked very tried and starched up.
"Use Thunderbolt!" Ash and Yasmin said in unison. Since the two pikachus were so close together when they attacked, the power resulted in smoke covering the field. Everyone was coughing before the smoke cleared. The smoke revealed Pikachu, still standing, over an injured Pika, lying in the dirt.
