Chapter 11 Garry vs. Ash : Aura's Link.
Ash! Are you crazy! Did you forgot that Lucario is part Steel type which is weak against Fire types?" Misty yelled who was standing behind Ash.
"Nope" Said Ash calmly.
"But why-"
"Misty" Ash said while turning towards her and looking in her eyes"…trust me. Please."
Before Misty could react on that, the match started. 'Alright Ash, I will.' She thought.
"Arcanine versus Lucario, start!" Brock yelled from the sideline.
"We are first, Arcanine Fireblast!" Garry yelled.
Arcanine opened his jaws and shot an immense Fireblast towards Lucario.
"Lucario use Aura Sphere and try to chance the course of the Fireblast."
Lucario brought his two front paws together at his left side, and between those front paws there appeared a blue/purple sphere and he threw it towards the Fireblast that was coming fast towards him.
When those two attacks collided, an big explosion followed.
"Arcanine! Use bounce to escape from that explosion." Garry yelled.
Arcanine jumped with his strong leg muscles high in the air and escaped the explosion successfully.
'Lucario, use Protect.' Ash said trough his telepathic link with Lucario.
The whole class was surprised and shocked that Ash hadn't said an move to Lucario to escape the explosion. And just before the explosion was near Lucario, you could see a yellow kind of shield appear around Lucario before he was disappeared up in the smoke.
'Lucario used Protect, but how-?' thought Misty while looking towards Ash 'Has he an telepathic link between them?'
After the explosion was over Ash yelled: "Alright Lucario, use Sky Uppercut while Arcanine is still airborne!"
Lucario jumped up from the smoke right beneath Arcanine and his right front paw was surrounded by an red glow. Arcanine couldn't go anywhere in the air and couldn't defend himself, where the thoughts of Ash and Lucario at least.
"Arcanine use Hyperbeam!"
"Lucario no!"
"Luckily for Ash, Lucario suspected something like this. So while his right front paw was loaded with Sky Uppercut he had in his left paw an small Aura Sphere, so when he heard the command of his opponent trainer he immediately cut of his Sky Uppercut and charged up his Aura Sphere while Arcanine charged up his Hyperbeam.
At the same time Arcanine unleashed his Hyperbeam to Lucario, Lucario shot his Aura Sphere to Arcanine.
When those two attacks connected something happened that nobody could believe.
Everyone thought an explosion would happen, just like the first time. But the exact opposite happened, they fused together.
The two attacks became a yellow/blue sphere which was 1 meter high and 1 meter wide, the Pokémon, their trainers and the spectators looked speechless to the sphere which was now hovering a few centimeters of the ground.
Garry got while everyone was staring to the sphere a great idea.(At least he thought it was an great idea).
"Arcanine! Use Fireblast against that sphere and send him back to Lucario. While everyone was looking to the sphere Arcanine had enough time to restore from him using his Hyperbeam.
The command of Garry surprised everyone. Nobody would know what would happed if you even touch the sphere, leave alone to attack it.
But Arcanine wasn't enough restored as Garry would have thought, therefore his Fireblast only hit the side of the sphere.
Till everyone's relief the sphere didn't exploded, that would be a catastrophe because everyone was so close to the sphere.
Ash was about to yell to Garry how stupid his move was till he saw the sphere move, in spun around and around. And the worse part was: it was going quicker.
To be continued.
