Chapter 11 An Unexpected Move
Negi helps Krystal up to her feet.
"That was a great match." Kiara said as Negi and Krystal left the field.
"The next match will be Josh vs Paul." Master Hand announced.
Josh walks on the right side of the field and Paul walks on the left side of the field.
"Josh is going up against Paul." Ash said.
"Do you think Paul has a chance to beat Josh?" Dawn wondered, who was sitting next Ash on the left side.
"It's tough to say if he can beat Josh, Dawn." Brock said.
"Representing Twinleaf Town from Sinnoh is Josh Kuno." The announcer said. "Facing off against Paul from VeilStone City. The tension is formidable indeed."
"This will be a full six on six Pokémon battle." The ref said. "The match will end when all six Pokémon faint. Trainers, choose your first Pokémon."
"Aggron, stand by for battle!" Paul shouted, throwing a Pokéball on to the field. The sphere open and Aggron appeared.
"Go, Typhlosion!" Josh shouted as Typhlosion ran onto the field.

"Now Aggron go!" Paul ordered. "Use Metal Claw!
Aggron's claws glow white and attacks Typhlosion. "Here I come!" Aggron shouted.
"Typhlosion, wait for it." Josh ordered. "Then use Cut!"
A white needle formed in Typhlosion's paw and Typhlosion blocks Aggron's attack as white electricity flowed out of the two attacks, forcing Aggron to slide a few feet away.
"And Typhlosion stops Aggron's Metal Claw, showing Typhlosion's strength a lot stronger than Aggron."
"Use Metal Sound!" Paul ordered.
"Ggrr." Aggron growled. Aggron's two horns began to glow white and they move back and forth, causing a loud ringing sound. The horns released light blue sound waves from the horns at Typhlosion, lowering his special defense.
"Ah...ah!" Typhlosion grunted.
"There's Metal Sound." The announcer said. "And it's definitely having an effect on Typhlosion."
"That sound is hurting my ears!" Meowth shouted in pain, covering his ears.
Brock crossed his arms. "Paul must've trained it to a high a level which makes Metal Sound a lot powerful." Brock said.
"Typhlosion, use Flame Thrower!" Josh ordered.
Typhlosion's back lights up with fire and he releases a red-orange fire from his mouth at Aggron. Aggron didn't have a chance to block or dodge the attack as it made contact with him.
"Aahh!" Aggron shouted in pain.
"What a powerful Flamethrower!" The announcer exclaimed.
"Flash Cannon, now!" Paul ordered.
"Alright." Aggron said. Aggron opens his mouth and then a silver ball appears in front of his mouth. Then Aggron fires a silver beam from the ball at Typhlosion.
"Dodge it!" Josh shouted.
Typhlosion jumps backward, dodging the attack and landed on his paws.
"Good job." Josh said. "Time to switch."
"Looks like Josh is switching his Pokémon." The announcer said.
Typhlosion turns around and nodded. He ran over to Josh's side.
"I'll save you for later." Josh patted Typhlosion's head.
"I understand." Typhlosion said.
"This is one heated battle." Brock said.
"I thought Typhlosion was going to make Aggron faint." Serena said. "You think Josh has something up his sleeve?"
"But it's more impressive to see Josh raised his Pokémon a lot stronger than Paul's Pokémon." Barry said.
"Let's go!" Josh shouted, throwing a Pokéball on to the field. The Pokéball open and Lucario appeared.
"So he has a Lucario." Ash muttered.
Korrina smiled when she saw Josh's Lucario. "It's been along time since you left with Josh, Lucario."Korrina said.
"Aura Sphere!" Josh commanded.
"Right." Josh's Lucario said.
Josh's Lucario puts his hands together and creates a blue ball of energy. Lucario fires the blue energy ball at Aggron, making it faint.
"Aggron is unable to battle. Lucario wins!" The ref announced.
"And Josh gets the first win of the match." The announcer said as the crowd was going wild.
"Aggron, return." Paul said. Aggron transforms into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
"Excellent work, Lucario." Josh smiled.
"Thank you, master." Josh's Lucario said.
"Come on, Paul!" Barry shouted. "I'm going to fine you!"
"It's still too early how to predict this will all turn out." Brock said.
"Ursaring, stand by for battle!" Paul shouted, throwing his second Pokéball.
The second Pokéball landed on the field and Ursaring appeared.
"Lucario, return." Josh said.
Josh's Lucario transforms into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
"Go, Empoleon!" Josh shouted, throwing a third Pokéball onto the field and Empoleon appeared.
"And Josh's third Pokémon is Empoleon." The announcer said.
"Focus Blast!" Paul ordered.
Ursaring puts his hands together and creates a light blue ball of energy. Then Ursaring fires it at Empoleon.
"Counter it with Metal Claw!" Josh ordered.
The blue parts on the rims of Empoleon's wings glow white. Empoleon slashes through Focus Blast, causing an explosion. Empoleon appears through the smoke, catching Ursaring off guard as she slashes Ursaring. Ursaring skids on the ground before fainting.
"Ursaring is unable to battle. Empoleon wins!" The ref declared, holding a green flag.
"Amazing!" The announcer exclaims.
"Ursaring, return." Paul said.
Ursaring transform into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
Paul looks at the board. "First, Typhlosion, Lucario and Empoleon..." Paul muttered as he looks back at Josh. "So what is his last three Pokémon?"
Paul took out another Pokéball.
Kiara crosses her arms over her chest. "So far, Josh has used Typhlosion, Lucario and Empoleon from Johto, Sinnoh and Kalos." Kiara said.
"But I can guess what his other three Pokémon are." Kameo said.
"Drapion, stand by for battle!" Paul shouted, throwing his third Pokéball onto the field and Drapion appears.
"Empoleon, return." Josh said.
Empoleon transforms into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
Josh took out a Luxury Ball. "Go, Groudon!" Josh shouted as he threw the Luxury Ball onto the field. The sphere open and Groudon appears. The Continent Pokémon growled at his opponent.
"And Josh's fourth Pokémon is the Legendary Pokémon Groudon." The announcer said. "The sudden appearance of Groudon has made the sun extremely harsh."
Steven turns his head to the left to look at Lance and Charles Goodshow.
"Didn't you say that the Red Orb and the Blue Orb was destroyed?" Steven asked.
"They were destroyed." Lance answered. "But somehow they must have been restored somehow."
"How the hell did you get Groudon on your team?" Paul growled.
Groudon took a step to the left so Josh can see him.
"Sorry Paul." Josh said, as he crossed his arms over his chest. "That's something I'm not going to explain, not until I defeat MY rival."
"Hold on." Alder said. "Did Josh say "HIS" rival?"
"Yes." Charles said, looking at Josh. "I know who Josh is talking about."
"I may have lost to him several times." Josh growled, making a right fist. "But I've learn there's always careful decisions and making the right calls to the right Pokémon as a master. I won't lose."
"Drapion, Cross Poison." Paul ordered.
"Take this!" Drapion shouted. Drapion crosses his arms in front of his face and his claws began to glow purple. A purple "X" appears in front of his crossed arms and he open his hands, firing the "X" at Groudon. The purple "X" made contact at Groudon's chest.
"Gr." Groudon growled.
"It took the attack?!" Paul exclaimed.
"I do believe it's my turn to attack." Josh said. "Groudon, use Solar Beam and fire it in the air above your head!"
Groudon gathers energy in the top of his head and looks up, firing a white beam high into the air.
"Why would he fire a Solar Beam into the air?" Ash asked.
"Josh must have something planned." Iris said.
"Poison Fang, now!" Paul ordered.
"Ha!" Drapion shouted leaping into air and grabbing Groudon's left arm. Drapion's bottom fangs began to glow purple. The purple glow moves down his arms, making the whole section glow as it does. As the glow reaches the last section, it skips the hands and the claws began to glow purple. Then, multiple purple sparks surround the claws as Drapion tighten his grip on the opponent.
"Ah..." Groudon grunted.
Drapion let's go of Groudon's arm and landed several feet away.
"Paul is tough, I'll have to admit." Josh thought. "But he doesn't stand a chance with a fully Ev Trained Pokémon."
He looks up and notice that the white beam is coming down fast.
"It's now or never." Josh muttered. "Groudon, use Shadow Claw! Catch that beam now!"
"Alright now!" Groudon shouted. Both of Groudon's claws glows black with a purple outline, making the aura grow into two black claws. Groudon lifts his claws above his head, catching the white beam before it him. The purple outline vanish and a white outline appeared.
"What?!" Paul shouted making a fist.
"Impossible!" James gasps.
"But how?" Barry asked.
"Shadow Beam!" Josh ordered.
Groudon puts the white sphere in front of him and the white sphere transforms into a black sphere. Then Groudon fires the black beam, hitting Drapion in the process.
"Argh!" Drapion shouted as it flew backwards.
"No way." Ash said.
"I'll get... you... next time..." Drapion said before he fell over.
"Drapion is unable to battle. Groudon wins!" The ref declared.
"Not only did Groudon won, Groudon has defeated Drapion with Solar Beam and Shadow Claw combined. That was indeed impressive." The announcer said.
"Drapion return."Paul said.
Drapion transforms into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
"Groudon, Return." Josh said.
Groudon transforms into red energy and went back inside the Luxury Ball.
"What will be Paul's fourth Pokémon be?" The announcer asked.
"Electivire, stand by for battle!" Paul shouted as he threw the Pokéball in the air and Electivire appeared.
"Go, Mewtwo!" Josh yelled. He threw the Pokéball into the air and Josh's Mewtwo appeared on the battlefied.
"No way!" Pikachu gasps.
"What the fuck?!" Falco shouted. "How does Josh have a Mewtwo?!"
Mewtwo stares at Josh's Mewtwo.
"So you've sent Typhlosion, Empoleon, Lucario, Groudon and Mewtwo." Paul said. "I can say I'm surprise but I will still win this battle."
"Is that so?" Josh asked.
"Thunder, let's go!" Paul ordered.
"Get ready for the shock of your life!" Electivire shouted.
Electivire puts its tail on Josh's Mewtwo and became surrounded by yellow static. Its body became surrounded in yellow electricity and fires a beam of yellow electricity from the end of its tail at Josh's Mewtwo.
"Ggrr!" Josh's Mewtwo grunted.
"Mewtwo, use Stone Edge!" Josh ordered.
"Heh heh." Josh's Mewtwo smirked. "HA!"
Mewtwo roared and pointed blue rock pillars appeared and hits Electivire.
"AAhh!" Electivire yelled in pain.
"Shadow Ball!" Josh ordered.
Josh's Mewtwo quickly puts his hands together quickly and forms a black ball of energy and shoots it at Electivire fast.
"Whoa!" Misty gasps.
"That was a fast attack." Iris said.
"Use Thunder on the battlefield." Paul ordered.
"Hm?"Josh wondered.
"What is Paul doing?" Misty asks Brock.
"Paul is using Thunder and using the debris to fall." Brock explains.
Electivire puts its tails into the ground and became surrounded by yellow static.
"Mewtwo, get in there and use Thunder Punch to send the debris flying back to Electivire!" Josh ordered.
Josh's Mewtwo hands became cloaked in yellow static as he makes two fists and flew into the debris. Josh's Mewtwo started punching the debris quickly, catching Electivire off guard.
"That's something you don't see everyday." Ash said.
Electivire fell on his back, not moving.
"Electivire is unable to battle. Mewtwo wins!" The ref declared.
"Return." Paul said as Electivire transforms into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
"Amazing! Josh has defeated five of Paul's Pokémon. The announcer said. "What will be Paul's last Pokémon?"
"Torterra, stand by for battle!" Paul shouted throwing his last Pokéball onto the field and Torterra appeared.
"Ha!" Torterra shouted.
"And Paul's last Pokémon is Torterra. The announcer said.
"Paul' last Pokémon is Torterra." Ash said.
Brock nodded silently.
"Mewtwo, return!" Josh commanded.
Mewtwo transforms into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
"Typhlosion, you're up." Josh said.
Music Stops
"And Josh has sent Typhlosion back onto the battlefield." The announcer said.
Ash was a little disappointed that Josh didn't sent out his last Pokémon. He did hear that Josh has a rival, but Ash didn't know.
"Do you think Paul has chance, Brock?" Cilan asked.
"Hardly." Brock said. "But it's tough. They both have the advantage against one another."
"Torterra, Stone Edge!" Paul ordered.
"Ggrr!" Torterra growled. Three blue rings surrounded Torterra's body. Then the rings glow white and form into chunks of gray stones that circle around Torterra's body. Torterra's eyes began to glow green and fires the stones at Typhlosion.
"Grah!" Typhlosion grunted loudly as he was sent at the ground.
"Typhlosion!" Josh yelled.
"That was a critical hit." The announcer said. "What will Josh do?"
Typhlosion slowly opens his eyes and can see Torterra.
"Is that the best you can do?" Paul sneered.
Typhlosion slowly got up and stares at his opponent.
"Ready, Typhlosion?" Josh smiled.
Typhlosion turns his head over and nodded. "Hell yeah." Typhlosion chuckled before looking back at Torterra.
"Looks like they're about to it." Kiara said.
"What are those two up to?" Paul muttered.
"Let's go, Blaze Resonance!" Josh shouted.
"HA!" Josh and Typhlosion shouted together.
A ring of fire appeared around Typhlosion's feet. The ring of fire began to grow into a tornado of fire, surrounding Typhlosion.
"What's going on?!" The announcer shouted.
From within the blaze tornado, Typhlosion's head was on fire, but it wasn't hurting him. The fire took the form of Josh's hair. Next, the fire on his back took the form of two flaming needles, forming an X. The blaze tornado began to disappear.
"What the hell?" Paul growled.
Typhlosion opens his eyes.
"What do you think?" Josh chuckled.
"It looks like Typhlosion has changed into a new form." the announcer said.
The audience was speechless, even Ash. How did Typhlosion change formed?
"Typhlosion, Flamethrower!" Josh ordered.
"Ha!" Typhlosion shouted. His back lights up and releases a red-orange stream of fire at Torterra. But the red-orange stream of fire was two times bigger than it's normal size.
"AHH!" Torterra screamed.
"Torterra!" Paul yelled.
The smoke cleared. Torterra was not moving from Typhlosion's last attack.
"Torterra is unable to battle. Typhlosion wins! Which means Josh is the winner!" The referee declared.
"Torterra return." Paul said.
Lucario watches as Typhlosion ran to Josh with open arms.
"You did great Typhlosion." Josh smiled, rubbing Typhlosion's head.
The screen showed that Josh was going up against Negi in the semifinal.
"This should be a good match." Negi said with his arms cross.
As Josh and Negi prepare in the semifinal, Ash gets ready for his match against Fox Mccloud but was worried.
