Chapter Eleven: Champion vs. Champion
Ash sighed as he wiped off his sweat from his training with Infernape, it was already evening. They had been sparring buddies since when he left the group. Latias flew over to Ash and gave him a gentle nudge, being invisible to give him a surprise.
-Guess Who!- She said to Ash giggling.
"Alright Latias, come on out!" Ash teased as he took out a few Pecha Berries. One suddenly floated up and disappeared, signaling that Latias devoured it already. Ash tackled her from behind and both lay down on the grassy patch, enjoying the moment.
"Lovely view, right?" Latias could only nod as they lay down together, watching the sunset. They lay there for a long time, enjoying each other's presence. That is, until fate played a cruel trick on them by letting Ash's stomach growl.
-Aww, I did not want to get up...- Latias whined.
"You don't have to..." Ash said in a reassuring tone. She looked at him, confused. Ash then picked Latias up bridal style, who squealed in surprise, she did not expect this. She then nuzzled Ash's chest, and gave a content sigh. Ash just chuckled as he carried her into the hotel. the people who saw them were either shocked or surprised. One, that they were obviously a couple and that it was a legendary. But then they gave a simple nod, possibly the work of Arceus. They headed for the cafeteria, where Ash had sat down and ordered a mountain load of food(Typical Ash, right?), while still cradling Latias, who had fallen asleep. The food arrived and Ash gently nudged Latias.
"If you don't wake up, I will devour all the food... not to mention there are people here..." Latias immediately woke up at the sound of food and transformed into her human form, and began massacring the food. Ash shook his head, typical Latias. Ash then began to devour his food too, eating on the same pace as Latias. Ash then saw his friends walk in, as they immediately picked him from the towering plate of food. Ash finished his food at the same time as Latias, as the two walked out of the room with the others.
"Hey Latias, I know of some place special tonight, and this day is one in five years." Latias nodded, as Ash used his Gallade to teleport him and the group to the area. When they reached the area, it was a dark cliff, at the seaside. Ash and Latias sat down at the very edge, while Brock and the others stood behind. Suddenly, a streak of golden flew by them, leaving magnificent streaks of gold dropping on them, the moon then suddenly began shining and was over the horizon.
"Cresselia, the legendary pokemon of the moon... thank you for your blessings..." Ash whispered so that only he and Latias could hear. Latias could only nod, as golden streaks were showering on them as they were bathed in moonlight. It only occurred once in five years.
Ash then teleported the group back to the hotel with the help of Gallade, where Latias was just leaning on his shoulder. After Ash had registered his pokemon for the match, he went to sleep, along with Latias.
After a 'quick' morning breakfast along with Latias and the group, Ash headed for the stadium, where he was going to fight Cynthia. This time, it was a ten-on-ten pokemon battle, and will stay that way for the last few battles. He grabbed his ten pokeballs and went into the stadium that he was too familiar with, getting ready for the clash with Cynthia, the third strongest of the Chosen Eight.
"Ladies and Gentleman! Today we have two amazing trainers battling it out! On the green corner, Ash Ketchum! On the Red corner, Cynthia Shirona!" The MC shouted from above as the crowd cheered wildly.
"This will be a ten-on-ten pokemon battle between Ash Ketchum and Cynthia Shirona! There will be an interval of an hour when five of one side's pokemon are unable to battle! Each of you grab a pokeball and throw it at the same time!"
Ash grabbed one of his pokeballs and threw it, as did Cynthia. Ash sent out Sceptile while Cynthia sent out her Milotic.
"Sceptile, surround it and use Bullet Seed."
"Milotic, keep a close eye on Sceptile and use Ice Beam." The Sinnoh Champion replied. Sceptile quickly closed in on Milotic and shot hundreds of seeds onto it, damaging it hard as it winced from pain. Milotic then saw Sceptile and fired an icy cold beam at it, the seeds and the beam clashed and they exploded, damaging both pokemon.
"Milotic, use Ice Surf!"
"Sceptile, use Earthquake!"
Milotic quickly formed an icy cold wave of water, while Sceptile pounded its tail onto the ground and gigantic cracks formed, effectively draining the water and damaging Milotic.
"Milotic, try an Ice Beam!"
"Sceptile, dodge and use Sunny Day, followed by a Solar Beam."
Milotic fired an icy cold beam which Sceptile dodged easily, before Sceptile shot a white orb of energy into the air, intensifying the sun's rays. Sceptile then began charging energy, but not a second later, fired the white beam. Milotic dodged the Solar Beam, but the debris from the explosion hit it and that made it cry out in pain.
"Milotic, use Blizzard!"
"Sceptile, try to dodge and swallow an energy ball!"
Milotic fired hundreds of icy snowballs from its mouth and a few hit Sceptile, who winced in pain from the super effective hit, and Sceptile made an energy ball and swallowed it, giving it a power boost as energy coursed its veins.
"Sceptile, now use Solar Impact!"
"Milotic, use Ice Beam!"
Sceptile fired a Solar Beam and then used Giga Impact, so that the Solar Beam and Giga Impact now merged together, while Milotic fired a icy cold beam again, which the Solar Impact cleaved into two and hit Milotic full force, which sent it flying back to Cynthia. Milotic was still able to fight, but barely.
"Milotic, try one more Blizzard!"
"Sceptile, dodge it and use Leaf Blade!"
Milotic fired hundreds of icy snowballs again from its mouth and this time, none hit Sceptile as Sceptile's arms began to glow bright green and twice its normal size and it slammed into Milotic, fainting it.
"Milotic is unable to battle! Sceptile wins the match!"
"Return Milotic, I'm proud of you. Go Gastrodon!" Cynthia said.
"Begin the match!"
"Sceptile, let's wrap this up fast, use Solar Blade!"
"Gastrodon, use Ice Beam!"
Sceptile, with the effect still on, channeled the energy of the Solar Beam it collected into the Leaf Blade, while Gastrodon fired an icy beam to Sceptile while it was charging, hitting it. Sceptile screamed in pain from the super effective hit, and disappeared in a flash, reappearing behind Gastrodon, only to be hit by a second Ice Beam, Sceptile mustered up all its strength and slashed Gastrodon, who screamed in pain from the quad effective hit, but after the Solar Blade, Sceptile fell to the ground and fainted.
"Sceptile is unable to battle, Gastrodon is the winner!"
"Return Sceptile, you did great. Go Dragonite!"
"Begin the match!"
"Gastrodon, use Ice Beam!"
"Dragonite, let's finish this quick, use Hyper Impact!"
Gastrodon fired an icy beam while Dragonite roared in power as it fired one of its most powerful attacks, the orange beam covered in gold and purple energy struck the Ice Beam and split it into harmless streaks as it hit Gastrodon dead-on and generated a giant explosion. When the dust cleared, Gastrodon was still able to battle, but barely.
"Wow, I'm impressed by that Gastrodon's stamina. Dragonite, use a Dragon Rush to finish this."
"Gastrodon, use Stone Edge!"
Dragonite became cloaked in blue energy and charged towards Gastrodon, while Gastrodon surrounded itself with sharp stones and fired them at Dragonite, who dodged most of them but one or two hit it, but did virtually no damage. Dragonite slammed into Gastrodon which caused another explosion, this one smaller than before. Gastrodon was without a doubt fainted when the smoke had cleared.
"Gastrodon is unable to battle! The winner is Dragonite!"
-Go Ashy! Don't lose to Ms. Rapunzel!- Latias's voice filled his head, as Ash burst out laughing to Latias's nickname to Cynthia. Pikachu heard it as well and fell of Ash's shoulder, laughing. Cynthia was feeling a little confused but shook it off as she sent out her next pokemon, her Spiritomb.
"Begin the match!"
"Spiritomb, use Dark Pulse!"
Spiritomb, upon seeing Ash, fired a Dark Pulse at him. The crowd gasped when they saw the rings of dark energy heading towards Ash, but Ash just sighed and nullified it using an aura shield. Ash ignored the stares towards him and motioned the match to continue. The referee nodded and signaled to continue.
"Spiritomb, now use Dark Pulse again... On the Dragonite!"
"Dragonite, use Flame Edge to counter!"
Spiritomb fired the rings of dark energy at Dragonite, who countered them by sending out flaming sharp rocks at the Dark Pulse. The two attacks collided and exploded, with neither being harmed.
"Spiritomb, now use Shadow Pulse!"
"Dragonite, use Giga Pulse!"
Spiritomb fired a ball of ghostly energy covered with dark rings while Dragonite fired a green orb of energy covered with golden and purple streaks of energy and collided with the Shadow Pulse. The Giga Pulse broke through the Shadow Pulse and hit Spiritomb, who grunted.
"Dragonite, how about we wrap this up, use Giga Draco Rush!"
"Spiritomb, try Dark Pulse on the meteors!"
Dragonite fired an orange orb covered by blue, golden and purple streaks of energy as they broke into hundreds of meteors, all headed towards Spiritomb. Spiritomb then fired the dark rings of energy at Dragonite again, but only destroyed about thirty meteors, while the rest came crashing into it and caused a ear-splitting explosion. The attack was still as devastating as always as Ash saw his third strongest pokemon use its strongest attack.
The dust cleared and Spiritomb was left fainted and defeated.
"Spiritomb is unable to battle! Dragonite is the winner!"
"Good job Spiritomb, please attack only pokemon next time... Go Garchomp!" Cynthia sent out her powerhouse.
"Garchomp, huh... Dragonite, can you take it on?" Ash only got a roar as a response.
"This match will be between Garchomp and Dragonite! Begin the match!"
"Garchomp, let's win this! Dragon Rush!"
"Dragonite, Ice Pulse!"
Garchomp cloaked itself with blue energy and headed towards Dragonite, who shot an icy green ball which hit its mark. Garchomp winced from pain from the quad-effective move that Dragonite dished out, but kept going and hit Dragonite. Dragonite roared in pain as it fell to the ground, almost unconscious as it already fought two battles before.
"Garchomp, finish it with Giga Impact!"
"Dragonite, use Ice Meteor!"
Garchomp cloaked itself with purple and gold streaks of energy and charged towards Dragonite, and collided with it before Dragonite could release the orb of energy. In turn, it was destroyed by the impact and exploded in Dragonite and Garchomp's faces, and both got hit.
"Dragonite is unable to battle! Garchomp is the winner!"
"Great job Dragonite, return. Go Charizard!"
"Garchomp, great, return. Go Roserade!"
"This battle will be begin Charizard and Roserade! Begin!"
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!"
"Roserade, use Leaf Storm!"
Charizard released a huge burst of flames that collided with the razor sharp leaves that Roserade sent, that caused an explosion that blocked the view from both sides.
"Charizard, now use Giga Blitz!"
"Roserade, use Toxic on Charizard!"
Charizard surrounded itself with red, purple and golden energy and charged towards Roserade, while Roserade sent out a purple orb that hit Charizard, who winced in pain from the toxic damage. Charizard slammed full force into Roserade, sending it crying out in pain.
"Roserade, now use Venoshock(bulbapedia it if u don't know what it is)!"
"Charizard, try to dodge it!"
Roserade sent out a thunderbolt-shaped like purple bolt and it hit Charizard, who cried out in pain as it was unable to dodge it.
"Charizard, now use Overheat!"
"Roserade, use another Venoshock!"
Charizard sent out a white hot burst of flames while being cloaked in a red aura, while Roserade sent another poison bolt towards the flames. The flames split the Venoshock into two as it hit Roserade, who gave another cry of pain.
"Roserade, now use Venodance!"
"Charizard, finish it with a Blast Impact!"
Roserade covered itself with petals and with a purple thunderbolt as Charizard fired a Blast Burn and used Giga Impact to amplify its power. They headed for each other and collided as their effects ended. They glared each other before an explosion was heard and they reached their limit, as both of them fell.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle!"
"Roserade, excellent job, return. Go Lucario!"
"Charizard, you did great. Let's go Tyranitar!"
"This match will be between Lucario and Tyranitar, begin the match!"
"Lucario, use Close Combat!"
"Tyranitar, use Earthquake when it is near you!"
Lucario sped in a blinding speed towards Tyranitar, who was surprisingly able to read its movements exactly, Tyranitar then used its tail to generate massive tremors, effectively damaging Lucario as it winced from damage.
"Lucario, jump and use Force Palm!"
"Counter with Flamethrower!"
Lucario jumped high into the air and dived towards Tyranitar with its right fist crackling with energy, while Tyranitar fired a stream of fire that damaged Lucario, but Lucario persevered and scored a hit on Tyranitar, making it growl in pain from the quad effective hit.
"Lucario, use Force Palm again!"
"Looks like we have to use brute force, Tyranitar. Dark Fire Blast!"
Lucario jumped into the air again, only to be hit by a dark stickman-shaped fire that made it shout in pain and frustration as it fell down and got back up, scratch marks shown on its body.
"Tyranitar, use Earthquake!"
"Lucario, use Extreme Palm!"
Lucario disappeared in a flash while Tyranitar released the massive tremors, only to hit air. Lucario then slammed its crackling fist into Tyranitar's back, causing it to roar in pain.
"Tyranitar, now use Flame Armor!"
"Lucario, use Close Combat!"
Tyranitar sent a burst of fire on itself, cloaking it in flames, while Lucario headed for Tyranitar, ready for unleashing pain on it. When Lucario touched Tyranitar, it quickly withdrew its hand, while Tyranitar just smirked.
"Lucario, since that will not work, use Aura Sphere!"
"Tyranitar, toast it with another Dark Fire Blast!"
Lucario sent out a blue sphere of aura while Tyranitar fired another stickman-shaped dark fire. Both attacks collided in an explosion, and Tyranitar's Dark Fire Blast hit Lucario, who screamed in pain from the intense heat.
"Lucario, finish it with Force Sphere!"
"Tyranitar, use Dark Flame Impact!"
Lucario sent out an Aura sphere crackling with the yellow energy of the Force Palm, while Tyranitar fired a Flamethrower which is covered by purple and gold streaks of energy with a dark aura. Both attacks collided and debris was flying everywhere. When the dust cleared, a conscious Tyranitar was standing next to a fainted Lucario.
"Lucario is unable to battle! Seeing that the red corner has lost five of her pokemon, we shall take a one hour break!"
Ash walked back into his locker from the stadium, as Latias reappeared beside him.
-I knew you could do it Ashy! Against that Ms Rapunzel!- She said to Ash and his friends, that were nearby.
"Congrats Ash, on winning the first half. I have a feeling that Cynthia will use something that we have never seen before..." Brock commented, as he felt his sixth sense kicking in.
"In that case, I'll just smack down any pokemon she chooses! Besides, I still have him." Ash replied with a smirk, Latias snuggling beside him. They smiled when they saw Ash like that, they knew Ash would only use him against Cynthia's 'Mystery' pokemon that Brock had mentioned. The hour zoomed past and soon it was time to battle again. The two competitors grabbed the pokeball and released it.
"Go Togekiss!"
"Go Lucario!"
"This battle will be between Togekiss and Lucario! Begin the match!"
"Lucario, Thunder Spheres!"
"Togekiss, use Air Slash!"
Lucario disappeared in a flash and ten Aura Spheres crackling with electricity suddenly appeared around Togekiss. Togekiss sent two air blades that collided with four Aura Spheres, but six still hit Togekiss as it winced from pain.
"Lucario, Thunder Spear Combat!"
"Togekiss, Hyper Beam!"
Togekiss fired an orange beam that Lucario dodged easily, as it formed two spears made out of aura crackling with electricity. Lucario then appeared behind Togekiss and began pummeling it. Togekiss cried out in pain from the electricity but still stood strong.
"Lucario, now use Giga Sphere!"
"Togekiss, get behind Lucario and use Flamethrower!"
Lucario charged a giant Aura Sphere while Togekiss flew behind Lucario, and let loose a stream of flames, which struck Lucario hard. Lucario endured the hit and charged the blast. Lucario's back was scorched when he finished charging the attack and unleashed the full power on Togekiss. The sphere was huge, about ten times larger than Lucario's Aura Spear, it sent Togekiss up into the air before the ball of destruction exploded in a brilliant light that blinded many for a short period of time.
Togekiss was still conscious, but barely.
"Togekiss, use Flamethrower one last time!"
"Lucario, throw an Aura Spear with all your might!"
Togekiss unleashed a burst of flames while Lucario threw a spear made out of aura. The attacks collided and the Aura Spear pierced the Flamethrower, knocking out Togekiss.
"Togekiss is unable to battle! The winner is Lucario!"
"Good job Togekiss, return. Go Garchomp!"
"Lucario, take a good rest. Go Floatzel!"
"This match will be between Garchomp and Floatzel! Begin the match!"
"Garchomp, use Dragon Rush!"
"Floatzel, wait and use Ice Fang!"
Garchomp charged towards Floatzel towards an amazing speed and Floatzel managed to dodge it by just a hair's length, and plunged its icy-cold fangs into Garchomp, who grunted and shot a Flamethrower to him, like it was saying 'bug off'.
"Garchomp, now hold Floatzel and use Hyper Beam(Before you go say "Garchomp cannot learn Hyper Beam", check Gen 5 moveset on Garchomp...)!"
"Floatzel! Try to get out of there!"
Garchomp held Floatzel tightly and fired a Hyper Beam at it, almost knocking it out. Floatzel was down to one knee and glared at Garchomp.
"Garchomp, let's finish this, Giga Impact!"
"Floatzel, dodge it!"
Garchomp sped at Floatzel that even with Floatzel's speed, it was unable to dodge it. Floatzel could only wait as the attack hit it, signaling its defeat as an explosion could be heard.
"Floatzel is unable to battle! Garchomp is the winner!"
"Floatzel, you did a great job. Return."
"Garchomp, return. Go!" Cynthia gave a smirk as she sent out a familiar red eon pokemon, a Latias. The audience gasped as they saw the eon pokemon. However, it was nothing like the Latias Ash knew...
-That pokemon... I despise her...- Latias's voice, filled with hatred and rage, filled Ash's mind. Ash widened his eyes in shock and surprise, he had never heard her feel this way before.
-She had caused me unforgettable pain back when I was in the Eon Clan, a clan only for Latios and Latias... she had always bullied me and almost caused my death once...-
Ash's eyes immediately turned cold and his hand clasped his last pokeball, shooting Cynthia's Latias a death glare. Ash threw the pokeball in the air and whispered one thing to it, "Crush her when I shout my first command..." He had said it through gritted teeth.
The sky immediately became cold and hot at the same time, as small fireballs and ice spikes rained from the heavens. Frostfire, the creation of Arceus, had been released from its ball, and gave a deafening roar that tore the ground. Cynthia's Latias, however, remained as arrogant as ever(Take Drew times ten...).
"It seems Ash has released an unknown pokemon! Care to explain, Mr. Ketchum?" The MC asked from above.
"No...Time...Name...Frostfire...Begin...Now..."Ash said through gritted teeth.
"Okay... Anytime you want, Mr. Ketchum."
"This battle will be between Latias and Fr-Frostfire! Begin!"
"Triple Elemental Chaos!" Ash roared out, everybody shocked by him being so mad.
"Latias, try a Mist Ball!"
"Trap her with a Ice Prison first..."
A giant box of ice suddenly appeared around Cynthia's Latias, and twelve ice pillars speared into it, completely immobilizing Cynthia's Latias. Frostfire then had ice spears and flaming fireballs coming out from its body, while its left icy head fired a giant Frost Beam (Thanks SupernalGodzilla) and a Glaciate towards the prison and the right flaming head fired a Blast Burn and an Overheat, as well as another giant Frost Beam coming from its blade-like tail. All three attacks struck the prison and could have obliterated the whole island if not for the shielding that only allows damage in the stadium. The blast shot up to the heavens above, who knows when it ended. The ground was completely vaporized from the intense heat of the attack, where Cynthia's Latias was completely crushed, the score was finally even.
"L-Latias is unable to b-b-battle! F-F-F-Frostfire is the winner! We will t-take a short intermission to repair the s-stadium!" The referee stuttered. Cynthia's face was a look of shock as she recalled her Latias as Ash recalled Frostfire without even saying anything, Ash walked into his locker, where he saw Mewtwo.
"You know, you can be scary sometimes..." Mewtwo said to Ash.
-Ash...- Latias snuggled closer to him as they pulled in for a hug, Ash's anger slowly going down. They had stayed like that until the MC said it was ready.
The next three battles were uneventful, as Ash used Frostfire to defeat Cynthia's Braviary, Eelektross and Garchomp.
Ash walked out after the battle and went into his room along with Latias, knowing that her wound could never be healed completely...
End of the eleventh chapter, sorry if its a little rushed at the end but do you want a life story of Latias in the next chapter? Please tell me how you feel!
