Hey guys, back with another chapter. I hope you liked the last one. Anyways I'm working on a new Pokemon story, and I'm going to post it when I finish this story. Not much more, but just enjoy the chapter.

I don't own anything:

"Dragonite I need your help" Lance yelled. Out of his Pokeball came his most powerful Pokemon. Unlike a Dratini and Dragonair, Dragonite has arms and legs. He also has small wings, but that doesn't matter since he still is very fast. The two antennae on its head were curved.

Ash visibly gulped. "Feraligatr be very careful and start off with a Hydro Pump." Feraligatr let out a jet stream of water that hit Dragonite right in the face. Unfortunately it just looked like it gave him a bath.

"Dragonite use Thunderbolt" Lance commanded. The two antennae on Dragonite's head crackled and sparked with electricity until a huge lightning bolt raced towards Feraligatr.

Ash's eyes widened before he quickly said, "Dodge Quickly and use Ice Punch". Feraligatr jumped straight up and landed right behind Dragonite. His fist glowed with ice as he aimed a punch for the back of Dragonite's head.

"Dragonite grab his hand and use Dragon Tail" Lance ordered. True to his word, Dragonite grabbed Feraligatr's hand and held the Ice Punch out of reach. Then Dragonite's tail started to glow a bluish white color and it smashed Feraligatr in his huge jaw. Feraligatr disappeared in a red flash, sending him back to his Pokeball.

Ash growled and yelled, "Heracross I choose you." Heracross greatly resembled a beetle, with a blue exoskeleton. He, like Dragonite, has two antennae on his head, but his are blue and thicker. On the end they seem to form a ball. He also has a huge pronged horn on his head. "Alright Heracross start off with X-Scissor" Ash said swiftly.

Heracross formed an X with his hands and it turned red. He slammed into Dragonite's side, making him grunt in pain.

"Dragonite counter with Sky Drop". Dragonite grabbed Heracross by his shoulders and took off flying. He started to fly in a circle, like Seismic Toss.

"Heracross you gotta break out of there," Ash yelled. "Hit Dragonite with Megahorn." Heracross buzzed as his horn became white. He struck Dragonite in the face, leaving a mark. Dragonite growled out in anger and just went faster. When he was done rotating he flew straight down towards the ground. He released Heracross and he fell to the ground with unimaginable speeds.

As he crashed into the ground a plume of dust arose into the air. After a minute the dust cleared and Heracross was up, but he was panting and most of his weight was on his left side.

"Heracross try not to get close again and use Toxic." Heracross fired a purple acid form his mouth and it hit Dragonite, slowly seeping into his skin. He bellowed in pain and rage as purple sparks danced across his skin.

"Snap out of it Dragonite and use Flamethrower." At Lance's words, Dragonite snapped out of his stupor and incinerating flames burst out of his mouth. Heracross was engulfed in flames, but you could still hear a faint buzzing noise.

"Heracross break out of it and use Venoshock" Ash roared out. Heracross flapped his wings extremely fast and the fire dissipated from around him, much like against Gary's Magmar when he was hit by the Fire Blast.

Heracross kept on repeating his name as chunks of acid filled poison flew towards Dragonite, from the back and front as some formed at the back of Dragonite. Ash grinned when the Venoshock made contact with Dragonite. Since he was already poisoned the Venoshock took twice the amount of normal damage.

Dragonite bellowed in pain and started to roar in agony. "Dragonite calm down and get in close," Lance commanded. "Hit him with Wing Attack." Both of Dragonite's wings glowed as he smacked Heracross across the face with both of his wings. Since Heracross was both Fighting and Bug, the attack took 4x the amount of damage.

Heracross was launched back and landed a few feet in front of Ash. He got up, but is seemed to be coming from sheer willpower. Ash saw this and gave a quick command, "Use Stone Edge." Jagged, sharp stones surrounded Heracross' body and with a throwing motion they raced towards Dragonite.

"Dragonite dodge and use Hurricane" Lance roared out. Dragonite easily dodged the Stone Edge and started to beat his wings really, really fast. A mini tornado formed as intense winds in the stadium started to pick up. Popcorn and drinks were flying everywhere, while poor Heracross was just trying to stay on his feet.

Unknown to Heracross the tornado was approaching him, swiftly, and eventually hit him before Ash could warn him. His body was twirled around at super-sonic speeds. When Dragonite felt the time was right he stopped beating his wings and the tornado died down. Out of it came a beat up and unconscious Heracross.

"Heracross is unable to battle," the referee started. "Red trainer please send out your next Pokemon."

"Feraligatr I choose you" Ash yelled, using his trademark battle cry. Feraligatr, the Pokemon he used most in this battle, came back, but still looked injured. He could probably put up a decent fight against Dragonite, but Ash knew he wouldn't be able to take him out. He was counting on Espeon for that.

"Dragonite let's start off with Dragon Dance" Lance stated. Dragonite roared as his body had a red aura around him. He seemed more battle ready and a bit more dangerous.

"Feraligatr use Hail again" Ash commanded. A fairly large storm cloud appeared over the battlefield, not the whole stadium, and hail, the size of Pokeball's, started to fall from it.

Lance seeing where this was going immediately reacted, "Dragonite use Thunderpunch." Dragonite's fist cackled with electricity as he punched Dragonite in an uppercut motion to the jaw.

When Feraligatr rose back up, Ash yelled out, "Blow it away with Blizzard." He had used the same strategy against Altaria, and it worked. Ash was thinking of the saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Out of Feraligatr's mouth came a very cold mist and snow. It flew right at Dragonite and when he tried to fly away it followed him, and eventually nailed him in the back. One of Dragonite's wings froze, so he couldn't fly and he fell down to the ground.

"Dragonite use Sunny Day" Lance growled. He just had to eliminate the Hail and Blizzard tactic.

Ash muttered something incoherently under his breath before he commanded Feraligatr, "Use Dragon Pulse." A silvery, gray, shock wave formed in his hands and he shot it at Dragonite, who couldn't dodge due to his frozen wing. The ice on the wing was thawing out quickly since Sunny Day was in effect, but it still would take a minute or two.

Dragonite took it head on, and he fell onto his back, letting his wing thaw out of the ice completely. "Dragonite use Thunderbolt," Lance ordered. The antennae on the top of his head crackled with electricity before a large thunderbolt shot at Feraligatr.

"Feraligatr let's see how your new move is," Ash started. "Counter with Hydro Cannon." A massive, massive ball of water formed in front of Feraligatr's mouth. When it seemed that if would become too big Feraligatr launched it right at the Thunderbolt and blasted right through the Thunderbolt. It hit Dragonite, and dealt a lot of damage, but not as much as Ash would've hoped for. The Sunny Day severely weakened the attack, and if it was not for that, Lance believed that Dragonite could've been taken out.

"Dragonite finish him with your most powerful Dragon Rush" Lance screamed. A blue glow surrounded Dragonite as he zipped towards Feraligatr. Dragonite slammed into Feraligatr, causing a massive explosion. When the dust died down, Dragonite was standing over the unconscious body of Feraligatr.

"Feraligatr is unable to battle," the referee said. "Red trainer, please send out your last Pokemon."

The crowd was cheering for Lance, as the momentum seemed to shift towards him. Brock and Cilan were kind of nervous, guessing who Ash's last Pokemon was, since she wasn't a heavy hitter. Dawn, May, and Misty were in cheerleading outfits, along with their Pokemon, and cheering for Ash. Max was shaking with excitement while stuffing his face with popcorn and soda.

"Espeon I choose you" Ash yelled out. From his Pokeball came his second evolution of Eevee. Espeon greatly resembled a cat, with very light shade of purple. Its ears were also purple, but had a dark blue inside. She also had a red gem on her forehead. To top it off her eyes, surprisingly, had no pupils.

The crowd was confused on Ash's choice of Pokemon. They had seen him with some pretty powerful ones, like Charizard or even his Absol, who had taken out two Pokemon before being taken down.

"Dragonite start off with Flamethrower" Lance ordered. Dragonite let out a burst of flames from his mouth, but Espeon looked unconcerned.

"Espeon send it back with Psychic" Ash said coolly. Without moving Espeon's eyes glowed blue and the Flamethrower attack also had a blue outlining. It was redirected towards Dragonite, and the flames engulfed his body.

After the flames dispersed, Lance yelled out, "Dragonite use Roost." Dragonite desperately needed the health back and he started to regain it while glowing white.

"Espeon stop him from gaining to much by using Hypnosis." Ash ordered. He knew this was over and he was anxious, really anxious. Again, without moving, Espeon used an attack. Dragonite started to feel very sleepy after telekinetic waves were surrounding him. He fell forward, totally asleep.

Before Lance could give another command, Ash said, "Finish him with Dream Eater." Espeon's eyes glowed blue, much like using Psychic, as a spectral image of her floated out and struck Dragonite, sapping his health. He cried out and his eyes became all swirly, signaling he was unconscious.

The crowd, hell even Cynthia was stunned. The referee couldn't believe that the mini cat could beat the Champions Dragonite without even moving; but in Dragonite's defense he had already been injured.

"Dragonite is unable to battle, the winner is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town," the referee announced after finding his voice.

"YES!" Ash yelled as he jumped and fist pumped into the air.

"Pi Pikachu" Pikachu yelled, with his trademark yell as well.

Lance returned his long-time partner and left the stadium without another word. Ash jogged back into the locker room and hastily grabbed his stuff. He wanted to see Cynthia's and Grimsley's match, which was taking place right after his match, in the same stadium.

Ash ascended to his seat, getting hundreds of congratulations, to which he thanked them for. He almost reached his friends, when Brock spotted him. Brock did the head cutting off sign, meaning if he came here the girls would be all over him, something he knew he didn't want.

Ash ended up finding a random seat near some people who just entered the stadium, so they weren't all commenting over his battle.

Cynthia's battle against Grimsley was over relatively quickly, much to his surprise. Grimsley started off with a Scrafty. Cynthia's Togekiss took quick care of it, with a Sky Attack and Air Slash combination. Grimsley then used a Houndoom, which made Cynthia switch to her Lucario. Lucario took some damage, but after a few Aura Sphere's and a Close Combat, he was KO'd quickly.

Grimsley seemed to get desperate as he sent out Tyranitar, which was met in combat with Garchomp. It was the battle of pseudo legendaries. Being Cynthia's strongest Pokemon, Garchomp ended up taking out Tyranitar with a surprise Draco Meteor. Both trainers went into the locker room for a 15 minute break.

After coming out Cynthia sent out her Spiritomb. Spiritomb was met by Grimsley's Krookodile. The battle ended up as a draw when Spiritomb was forced to use Destiny Bond, something Ash would have to watch out for. The next match was Honchkrow vs. Garchomp. Honchkrow didn't last 45 seconds and was taken out by a powerful Stone Edge attack. The last battle was between Grimsley's strongest Pokemon, Bisharp, and Cynthia's strongest Pokemon, Garchomp. Garchomp was pretty worn out after the battle, but after a devastating Earthquake, Bisharp was knocked out, making Cynthia the winner.

After the battle, Ash raced to the Pokemon center to get his Pokemon healed, when he ran into Brock and the gang.

"Hey Ash" Brock shouted. That quickly got the attention of the rest of the group and the girls quickly turned on Ash.

"Where were after the battle?" Dawn demanded fiercely. Ash internally groaned.

He put on a fake smile and said, "I was talking to some people after the battle and decided to sot with them." That was a downright lie and only Brock and Cilan knew. Brock told Cilan what happened and, unsurprisingly, Cilan agreed with what Brock did.

Max started to babble about the battle until May told him off, which made him shut up quickly. Ash and Cilan rolled their eyes.

"Well Ash it looks like you'll have to face your girlfriend in the finals" Brock said cheekily. After around 2 seconds he immediately regretted saying that. Misty slapped him, May kneed him where the sun doesn't shine, and Dawn hooked him in the neck, making him pass out.

Cilan and Max made a mental note of not mentioning Cynthia in front of them. Ash, Cilan, and Max picked up Brocks body and ran for their lives, with the girls behind them. Iris was nowhere to be found.

After getting chased by the girls for an hour, they ended up with Iris, who was tired and went to bed after Ash's match. They were all in the room, except for the three girls, that the guys shared. Brock, who had regained consciousness told him that his mom and Professor Oak had went home and would be back tomorrow. Also that Gary would be flying in from Johto to see the battle, which was held in 2 days.

"Hey Ash, you know who you plan on using?" Max questioned.

Ash frowned and replied, "I know I want to use Darkrai, and Pikachu for sure. The other 4 I'm not entirely sure. I really haven't given it much thought yet since I haven't had much time to think about it.

Cilan, who was on guard duty to see if the girls would come, yelled, "They're coming, everyone run for your-

Ash clamped a hand over his mouth and dragged him into the bathroom. Max hid under the bed, Iris hid behind the sofa, and Brock went into the closet. Ash went into the other bathroom. They could pretty much feel the anger pouring off the girls as they stopped right in front of their open door.

Max was shaking with fear and almost let his breath out, but didn't. The girls did a quick scan of the room, not looking closely, because if they had they easily would've spotted something shaking under the bed, which was Max. When they were gone all four of them let out their biggest sigh of relief of their whole entire lives.

The gang eventually came out of their hiding spots and resumed talking about random things.

"I decided that I'm also going to go with Garchomp, Zoroark, Infernape, and Alakazam. I don't want to lose this match," Ash said, staring out the window at the sunset.

Max looked thrilled to see this battle. It was his idol and the most powerful female trainer in the world squaring off against each other. Iris looked indifferent, and for some reason Cilan handed Brock, who looked victorious, $5.

They eventually went out to get something to eat, where they ran into all the Elite Four's and all the Champions. They seemed to be catching up and eating dinner at a fancy place.

"Sup bro?" Flint asked casually.

"Nothing much, just getting a bit to eat" Ash replied. After exchanging more small chat with the trainers, Ash and co. left for the restaurant, where surprisingly it was packed. Ash looked in and saw his mom cooking everything, while Professor Oak was in disbelief at what he saw. Ash, Brock, and Max sweat dropped, having known Mrs. Ketchum the longest. Cilan and Iris were mystified by what was happening.

Ash and company made their way through the crowd and approached Professor Oak, who gave them a sheepish look.

"Hi honey, you want something to eat?" Delia asked when she saw Ash.

Ash just nodded in response and in a few minutes, a whole feast was literally right in front of them. Ash ate his Chicken Parmigian slowly as he stared out the window. After the dinner, Ash made sure his mom went home.

"Professor, can I have Garchomp, Infernape, Alakazam, and Zoroark?" Ash questioned.

"Not a problem, I'll send them right over when I get to the lab." Professor Oak responded warmly.

Ash made his way to the Pokemon Center, alone, after everyone went to bed and got his Pokemon transferred. He walked into the Viridian Forest and said, "Alright guys, it's time for the finals, we have to win this!" All his Pokemon roared in agreement and they went to train immediately. They trained all through the night and the next day, they just rested. They were soaking in some sun, and resting their muscles after the intense workout.

The most surprising thing though was that Ash didn't sleep at all. He just stared out at the sun, for the whole day. Tomorrow he would be in the most important battle of his life. He was a Champion now, hopefully, but what got him nervous was that Mr. Goodshow didn't talk to him after he beat Alder or Lance.

"Tomorrow's the big day," Ash thought as he fell into a dreamless sleep.

Ash was awoken by somebody screaming at him. Misty and Dawn were literally shaking with anger and they seemed to get madder by the second. Over in the corner he saw May being restrained by Garchomp. She was yelling some very vulgar things.

He jumped up, to their surprise, and sprinted for the stadium, with his Pokemon following him. When he got to the entrance, where only competitors could enter, the guard let him in without checking his ID, since he'd seen him before.

"Halt, no one who isn't a competitor is allowed past this point" the guard said coldly, when he saw May, Dawn, and Misty. They hung their heads and went to their seats.

Ash sat down with his Pokemon, who were once again lounging around. Garchomp was as fierce as always. Alakazam was meditating. Pikachu was sleeping, Infernape was practicing his punches and kicks, Darkrai, who Ash just let out, was leaning against a locker, and Zoroark was pacing back and forth nervously.

When the time came, Ash was called out, and so was Cynthia. Ash could see that Cynthia had a small smile on her face. When she noticed him she winked.

"This battle is between Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town and Cynthia Shirona of Celestic Town," the referee stated. This will be a 6 on 6 elimination match and substitutions will be permitted."

With that the referee started the match and Ash, on the red corner, was still debating on who he should send out first.

"Zoroark I choose you" Ash yelled. His dark fox Pokemon re-emerged from her Pokeball as she took a fighting stance.

"Spiritomb battle ready" Cynthia yelled. Ash gulped when he saw the Forbidden Pokemon. Spiritomb was a purple, swirling vortex. Spiritomb was attached to an Odd Keystone. What made Ash nervous was that he had never faced one before.

"Alright Zoroark try a Night Slash" Ash said hesitantly. He knew that even though it was part Dark type it was still normally damaged by Dark type attacks since it was also part Ghost. Zoroark roared as her claws became an ugly black color. She raced towards Spiritomb and slashed him right across the face.

He got up with a bone-chilling laugh.

And done! How'd you like that chapter. Anyways I loved the reviews I got for the last chapter. Also, who do you want to win? I've had several people PM me that they want Ash to lose and Cynthia to win, so right now I'm writing it more like that. If you want to see Ash win or for Ash to comeback leave a review or a PM.

Thanks,
