Welcome to chapter 11! I was going to include a fight with Clemont in this story but I can't because I already have round 5, the semi-finals, and the final battle all planned out.
23StellaOrgana: Cilan is just plain weird in the anime so I tried to make him as weird and funny as he is in the anime. I would have included more food related lines but I couldn't think of any.
Xenolis: I would have used and Ice type, but I also wanted to use Iris's favourite type against her. So what better way than the dual Ice/Dragon Kyurem! Ps: Suicune isn't an Ice type.
TravelingMan93: You'll find out in the epilogue.
Cutesaralisa: No she will not have drugged her Pokémon.
God of the Challenge: Thanks for the idea, although I will have to think about it really carefully.
Kriber: Max is reserved for the semi-finals AKA: next chapter.
Chaos239: Actually, Ash-Greninja is the form when said two's bond is raised to the limit so it isn't Mega Evolved. But yes, I will put it in. Link if you're wondering where I got this info from: news/greninjas-new-form-is-officially-called-ash-greninja
LyokoDetective88: I sent what she said in a PM.
Thor94: If Cilan had to do something, it had to be food related as that's what he does best. As for the traitors, all shall be revealed in due time.
Animeandgamerlover2: Yep, and she's armed with a mallet and bad temper.
Jolteon117: Thanks! I try to update as much as I can!
The Norwegian Dragon: "The taste of being arrested is cold, flavourless, and dull."- Cilan Dent.
Xxtails888xx: Thanks for the compliment!
Guest: the dead ones MIGHT come back at the end, no immortality in this story! As for the legend in this chapter, it was going Kyogre (not primal, that's just unfair even for Misty) but I came up with another idea. And none of the traitors Pokémon will join Ash, you want to blame somebody, blame the Hated One.
I keep on forgetting to say this, but Pokémon does not belong to me.
Enjoy!
Ash walked to the main lobby where Arceus pulled him into a hug while Lugia, May, and Manaphy just watched with smiles on their faces.
"Nice work Ash, Cilan's dish just got rotten," May said amusingly when the two legends broke up.
"And speaking of rotten..." spoke up Lugia looking at something, The Hated One was talking to Officer Jenny with a desperate look on his face.
"Please, I'm sure there's been a mistake," he begged. "Cilan's a good man, he must have been framed! I'm sure of it!"
"Professor Oak, Mr. Dent was clearly seen putting the chemical in the dishes on CCTV. Mr. Goodshow has ordered his immediate arrest for this dreadful and heinous crime," was all Jenny said, she then got in her car and drove off, just as Oak was about to say something. He then turned around and saw Ash which didn't improve his mood.
"Well well well," mocked Ash when he saw the look that Oak gave him. "It appears the Hated One has lost another one of his lapdogs!"
"Shut up Ketchum," was all he snarled before leaving the stadium in absolute rage.
"Gee, SOMEONE'S having a bad day," joked May making all of them laugh.
"I wonder why that is?" replied Lugia making them laugh even harder.
Ash came up with an idea. "Well let's go and get something to eat before who knows what else happens." They all agreed and went to a restaurant.
"Do you get the feeling we're being watched?" asked May nervously with the others agreeing.
"Man up there!" said Manaphy suddenly pointing to a rooftop where they saw a figure move away quickly; it had something that looked like a sketchpad which made Ash sure of who it was.
"I'll check it out," Ash said and left to confront the spy. He went into an ally to use the ladder to find that it was broken, no doubt the spy's handiwork to make sure he wasn't followed. So Ash concentrated really hard and teleported onto the rooftop, where the spy panicked and was revealed to be Tracey.
"Well if it isn't the sleep stalker himself," mused Ash which made Tracey's face turn red with anger. "I have to say, I honestly thought you weren't gonna be here," was all Ash said before Tracey rushed at him with his fist raised. Needless to say he made a bad move because Ash grabbed him mid-run and slammed him on the ground so hard it made a tremor.
"Remember this Sketchit: all who betray the Chosen One shall pay." With that, he slammed Tracey on the ground so hard that it caved in and Ash quickly jumped back as Tracey fell into a jewel store.
"THIEF!" a woman's cry breached the sound barrier as Tracey tried to flee, but two policewomen who just happened to be in the store, tasered him and took him away.
"Well that was easier than I thought, I better get back to the others," Ash thought, and jumped of the roof into an ally and walked singing a song that was playing in the karaoke bar next to him.
"Don't bother me baby..." was what was heard until the singer went into the verse.
"Or if it were done in my way: "Don't bother me Oak..." Ash sung while walking back a bit faster.
Meanwhile the legendary four were beginning to get worried about Ash, but it went away when they saw him coming back unharmed.
"What happened Ash?" asked Arceus concerned, especially since the "THIEF!" was heard in a 10-mile radius.
"Tracey Sketchit, the world's best stalker happened," Ash replied making them relax a little.
"And the cry of a thief?" inquired Lugia with interest more than concern.
"Sketchit caving in from the ceiling after I slammed him into it," replied Ash making everyone relax with sighs of relief. They then ordered their dinner, Arceus mentioning her disgust of Slowpoke tails being on the menu. They ate their dishes and just as they were done, Ash got a call from Goodshow on his Ultimatedex.
"Good evening Ash, the Champions and I would like to have a meeting tomorrow morning if you can make it," Goodshow explained in a serious tone.
"Yes we can make it. Unless the traitors do something in which case we will have to decline," Ash responded after a minute of thought.
"Good, there's something special waiting for you," Goodshow said and hung up.
"Let's go to bed, we have a meeting with Goodshow tomorrow." Ash relayed to his friends the conversation. They nodded and together they went to their hotel room.
"Ash my lad! Good that you're here!" boomed Goodshow as Ash and co shook hands with the champions and then they took their seats.
"Good to see you too sir, but is there any particular reason why we're here?" Ash asked. Goodshow nodded at Lance who opened a case revealing 5 golden medals which he presented to Ash.
"Ash Ketchum, it is my pleasure as Kanto champion to award you and your friends with these medals of honour, for your services to the Pokémon world for arresting the traitors that shame their very existence!" declared Lance as he pinned the medals on their clothes.
They were about to thank him when the guard from Ash's battle with Iris rushed in looking grim.
"Sir! Three people and a Meowth that can talk have been seen in a hot air balloon above the lake capturing the local Pokémon!" he explained. As soon as he was done, Ash ran out the door towards said lake.
"Well, I guess we'll go too," said Arceus rather awkwardly as she and the other three left.
"Should we go too Mr. Goodshow?" asked Steven.
"No, I have a feeling Ash and his friends have got this," replied Goodshow and the Champions nodded hesitantly.
As soon as Ash arrived at the lake, he hid in a bush because he saw the signature Meowth balloon hovering in the sky, sucking up the local Pokémon with a huge funnel. And then that signature motto came.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
"Oh do shut up and focus on the mission," said a new person in the hot air balloon turning to face them, who was revealed to be Clemont.
"You shut up! Why should we ever listen to a former friend of the twerp!?" screamed Jessie in disbelief, which quickly turned to terror when Clemont looked at her with a nasty expression.
"Because I control your jobs, so shut it and get on with it!" he ordered in a very uncharacteristic snarl. James was quick to power up the machine and all the local Pokémon were sucked up into a cage hanging underneath the horrifying bad Meowth balloon.
"Scizor, come out silently," Ash said in telepathy. Scizor's poke ball didn't make a noise as it opened and Scizor came out without a sound.
"Use X-Scissor and make sure they don't see you," ordered Ash and Scizor jumped up and attached itself to the underneath of the balloon making it shake.
"Did you feel that?" asked Meowth.
"Probably some turbulence," Clemont came up with a scientific conclusion. "Now get these Pokémon to Professor Oak!" But they didn't get far as they heard a bang, which came from the cage breaking into pieces from falling from a great height. The Pokémon immediately escaped.
"HOW DID THE CAGE GET LOOSE!?" yelled Clemont, outraged.
"We don't know sir! The rope must have broken or something!" Meowth tried to protest but Clemont didn't listen to him.
"I have had enough of your failures! YOU ARE ALL FIRED!" Clemont shouted releasing his Luxray and ordering it to use Thunder on them, sending them flying.
"LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!..." was what Team Rocket said before disappearing with a twinkle in the sky.
"Stupid thing, how am I supposed to get these Pokémon to the Professor now!?" groaned Clemont with the same frustration when his $1000 dollar spy camera got smashed by Zekrom. Of course he didn't just "get" the money, but that's irrelevant to this.
By that point, Scizor jumped up behind Clemont so stealthy that he didn't hear it come up.
"That's a good question Citron," called Ash, causing the inventor to turn around. Scizor then grabbed him by his collar and jumped out the balloon bringing him to Ash.
"I thought you were better than this, to say that the world will be shocked is an understatement," snarled Ash before he head butted him, knocking him out just as Officer Jenny and police arrived on the scene.
"We'll take it from here Mr. Ketchum," said Jenny. Ash handed Clemont to her in which she literally dumped him in her car and drove off along with the rest of the police. A couple of minutes later, Ash's friends arrived.
"What happened Ash?" asked May holding Manaphy's hand.
"Clemont decided to join Team Rocket, that turned out to be a very poor career choice," Ash explained making them laugh.
"Mr. Goodshow wants you to know that round 5 is about to start," stated Lugia and the others smirked evilly.
"Well then, I do believe you have a flower to wilt Ash," Arceus commented making them laugh harder as they walked to the stadium.
"Welcome to round 5!" boomed Goodshow as the big screen showed this day's match:
ASH KETCHUM VS MISTY WATERFLOWER
"Get ready to be sent to loser city! Go Togekiss!" she shouted before the ref was about to start talking and a very mad glare was received from him.
Ash on the other hand was intrigued. "I thought she released her egg back at the Mirage Kingdom in Hoenn. I wonder how she got it back..."
"As I was about to say," snapped the ref. "This match between Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower will now begin! Each trainer will use 5 Pokémon and starting from this round, substitutions are not allowed," he explained, glaring at Misty all the while who shivered.
"I want to settle this Ash," said Pikachu who jumped out of Ash's jacket, wanting to get revenge after it charmed him in Johto.
"BATTLE BEGIN!" The ref broke the silence and Misty went to offence straight away, which proved to be a bad idea on her part.
"Start with Aura Sphere!" she shouted without thinking. Togekiss charged up a blue ball and threw it at Pikachu.
However, Ash was prepared. "Use Iron Tail to reflect it," Ash said by telepathy. Just as the sphere was about to hit Pikachu, his tail turned as hard as iron and hit it with enough force to send back to Togekiss.
Obviously, Misty was not in her right mind as she completely forgot that Aura Sphere was not dodge able. "Dodge it Togekiss!" she shouted and the crowd laughed at her just as the attack hit, making it recoil in pain.
"SHUT UP!" Misty shouted shocking everyone. "Use Metronome now!" she yelled and Togekiss glowed white and... splashed on the ground making everyone, including Ash and the champions, roar out in laughter. Her face turned red from rage and embarrassment.
"Just use Air Slash and finish it!" Misty shouted. Togekiss was about to launch it when Ash stopped her.
"Use Thunderbolt, NOW!" he ordered hastily by telepathy, and Pikachu fired the bolt of lightning before the Jubilee Pokémon could launch the attack.
"Use Extremespe..." but she never finished as Togekiss flew up to Misty and snatched her poke ball, using Aura Sphere on it and flew off.
"Since Misty's Togekiss abandoned her, that counts as a win for Pikachu!" the ref explained.
"Looks like she couldn't handle all the pressure..." said Pikachu rather sadly as he returned to Ash's jacket.
"YOU STUPID POKEMON! AFTER ALL I DID FOR YOU, THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME!?" Misty screamed in disbelief.
"HEY! If you hate Pokémon like Airisu does, you must have a serious problem!" a Pokémon lover shouted causing words of hate to be delivered to Misty.
"Go Gyarados!" was all Misty said as she sent out her water snake for battle which roared for action.
"Lunatone, show her what we think!" Ash called out. He sent his moon which got worried as soon as she saw the Atrocious Pokémon.
"Are you sure about this Ash? The type matchup is not a good one," she stated nervously.
"Don't worry, we will beat that water snake into next week," assured Ash, filling Lunatone with newfound confidence.
"Use Dragon Dance Gyarados!" Misty called and the snake did a dance and its attack and speed rose.
"Use Cosmic Power!" Ash countered and Lunatone absorbed power from space and its defences rose.
"Now use Hydro Pump to send that rock to Pluto!" she called and Gyarados fired a jet of water from its mouth.
"Use Psychic to send it back," Ash countered by telepathy. Misty's urge to reach for her mallet grew even stronger as she saw the Hydro Pump turn around and hit Gyarados.
"Come on Gyarados! Use Dragon Tail!" she shouted, very annoyed. Gyarados's tail glowed green and swung towards Lunatone.
"Use Ice Beam!" Ash commanded and a beam of ice came from Lunatone's mouth hitting the tail, freezing it and due to the laws of gravity, slammed on the ground hurting it.
"Use Psywave!" Ash said and Lunatone fired a wavy psychic power towards Gyarados.
"Destroy it with Hydro Pump!" Misty shouted arrogantly and just before it could launch it, a powerful psychic power came from the sky and struck Gyarados hard. You see, when Ash commanded Lunatone to use Cosmic Power, he also told Lunatone to use Future Sight while Gyarados was dancing around so Misty couldn't see past it.
To add insult to injury, the force of the Future Sight made Gyarados fall over for the Psywave to hit it dead on in the 's luck was better than Misty's because the attack dealt maximum power.
"Use Charge Beam," Ash spoke by telepathy and Lunatone fired a beam of electricity at Gyarados. It roared in pain due to the double weakness. As if that wasn't enough for Misty, Lunatone's special attack rose.
"Get up and use Hyper Beam!" Misty yelled and Gyarados painfully got up and fired a massive beam from its mouth.
"Use Protect, than Stone Edge," Ash ordered by telepathy and a green shield surrounded Lunatone protecting it from the beam. Then pointed rocks surrounded Lunatone and flew towards Gyarados so fast that Misty couldn't do anything to counter as the rocks hit Gyarados.
"GYARADOS!" Misty cried in horror as the atrocious Pokémon fainted.
"Gyarados is unable to battle! Lunatone wins!" declared the ref.
"NO!" shouted Misty enraged. "How could I lose to you Ketchum!?" she shouted an overused comment.
"Three words Waterflower: years of training," Ash emphasized with his hands making Misty so angry, her face rivalled a tomato.
"ENOUGH! MISTY CALLS..." but she never got to send out her intended Pokémon because Psyduck popped out of its poke ball, making her feel like exploding.
"PSYDUCK! GET BACK IN YOUR POKE BALL RIGHT NOW!" she yelled desperately trying to return Psyduck, but it kept dodging the red light that would send it back if it hit.
"Misty sent out Psyduck which will compete in this round! BEGIN!" The ref decided to do something as he was getting bored from not doing his job.
"Lunatone, use Earthquake to put it out of its misery," Ash said emotionless, while Misty just glared at it. She knew Psyduck wasn't going to endure the attack so he just left it for dead like Brock with Ludicolo.
TWO SECONDS LATER...
"Psyduck is unable to battle! Lunatone is the winner!" The ref's voice was heard throughout the entire stadium.
"Ref, that shouldn't count because I didn't mean to send Psyduck out!" Misty protested.
"Psyduck got sent out, that perfectly counts," snapped the ref with an angry look at Misty. There was no denying that he wanted to get her back for interrupting him.
Misty saw there was no point in arguing so she sent out her next Pokémon. "Misty calls Starmie!" she cried sending out her favourite Pokémon.
Ash returned Lunatone and sent out an old favourite. "Primeape, time for payback." Ash sent out his old monkey Pokémon for battle which surprised his friends.
"Ash, I didn't know you got your old Pokémon back," Arceus asked by telepathy.
"I did when I went to the Pokémon centre before the round, had a chat with his owner," Ash explained which made sense.
"Starmie! Use Psychic!" Misty said breaking the conversation, as Starmie's jewel-face glowed blue.
"Break free," said Ash surprising everyone. Primeape was surrounded by the blue light but it thrashed and broke free easily.
Misty growled knowing that idea was out of the question. "Use Water Pulse!" she called and Starmie launched a series of water rings towards Primeape.
"Dodge it and use Cross Chop!" Ash commanded by telepathy. Primeape dodged the rings and gave a dual handed chop which sent it flying into the same wall where Cilan's Crustle ended up.
"Get up and use Power Gem!" Misty shouted, agitated. Starmie got out of the star shaped crater and summoned enhanced rocks out of nowhere and launched them at Primeape.
"Dynamic Punch," Ash said. Primeape's fist glowed with power and destroyed the incoming rocks easily.
"Use Dig," Ash ordered by telepathy and Primeape went underground. "Get underneath it and use Close Combat." The next thing Starmie knew, it was being punched and kicked ruthlessly by a Primeape that remerged so fast that Misty could only watch helplessly as Starmie got slammed into the crater.
"C'mon Starmie! Get up!" Misty urged, completely ignoring its condition.
"End this with Thunder Punch!" commanded Ash and in an instant Starmie was fried and out.
"Starmie is unable to battle! Primeape wins!" the ref declared, making the crowed cheer for Ash and ignore Misty.
"What about me!?" she yelled snatching everybody's attention.
"You're a loser and an idiot! How you became a Gym Leader is beyond me!" someone shouted and the crowd roared with laughter at Misty and called her an idiot.
"SHUT UP! GO BLASTOISE!" she screamed after a minute. The Blastoise looked like it didn't want to battle which made Ash feel sorry for it.
"And now my final calling card, my friend, destroy this traitor!" shouted Ash as he threw a poke ball and out came Genesect.
"BUG!" screamed Misty who had a phobia of bugs. "Blastoise! Use Hydro Pump! KILL IT! KILL IT!" she screamed and Blastoise fired a stream of water from its cannons.
"You know what to do," Ash said by telepathy and Genesect went into its hover board form, dodged the attack, flew to Blastoise's stomach and fired an electric-type Techno Blast into it, making it faint instantly causing her to scream in horror at it.
"It's just a bug! Don't lose your head over it!" someone yelled, the laughing from the crowd was aimed at Misty.
At that point Misty flipped. She ran towards Ash with her mallet, in an attempt to beat his head in. But when she reached halfway across the battlefield, Genesect appeared in front of her making her shriek in terror. She swung her mallet at it, only to miss and Genesect to slam into her and she fell heavily on to the ground. It then grabbed her mallet and used Techno Blast on it, destroying it.
Just then the Police arrived. "Misty Waterflower, you are under arrest for attempted assault!" She then went on about the right to remain silent and eventually took her away.
"Ash Ketchum is the winner like last round!" declared the ref. Unlike round 4, everyone actually cheered this time because Misty was worse than Cilan. Ash then raised his hand in a victory pose and walked off.
And Ash's first friend has been wilted! Some people see Misty as a pest and I can see why after writing this.
I was going to use Kyogre, but then Misty's fear of bugs came to mind so I put Genesect in.
Next round is everyone's favourite pip-squeak Max! If you can guess who's the opponent in the final battle, than please don't spoil it.
I'll try to answer any questions and good-bye!
