Chapter 12
"Go, Ho-oh," said Alex.
"Return, Torterra," said Ash. "Go Ambipom."
"Begin."
"Ambipom use swift."
"Fire blast Ho-oh." Fire blast connected and sent Ambipom flying.
"That was powerful," said May.
"No kidding," said Brock. Ambipom got up.
"Double hit, Ambipom."
"Zap cannon, Ho-oh."
"Dodge it Ambipom." Ambipom jumped in the air.
"Overheat." The attack connected.
"Ambipom is unable to battle."
"Nice job, Ambipom. Go, Staraptor."
"You want a sky battle Ash," said Alex. "Then a sky battle it is."
"Begin."
"Staraptor use aerial ace."
"Swift, Ho-oh." Both attacks connected. Ho-oh seemed unfazed by it, but Staraptor showed that it got hit, but not by much. "Steel wing, Ho-oh," said Alex.
"Quick ace," shouted Ash. Quick ace hit.
"Very clever, Ash. Using one of the moves I perfected against me. It is not going to work. Ho-oh use fire blast." As Ho-oh got ready to fire, something hit the stadium floor. It was a rain drop.
"Looks like Ho-oh is in trouble," said May.
"Alex will figure it out," said Professor Oak.
"Quick ace," shouted Ash. The attack hit.
"Guess we stick away from the fire," said Alex. "Steel wing, Ho-oh." The attack connected sending Staraptor straight to the ground.
"Staraptor is unable to battle. Ho-oh is the winner."
"Great job, Staraptor. Can't use fire in this weather. Go, Torterra."
"Begin."
"Steel wing, Ho-oh." It connected. Torterra went flying.
"Torterra is unable to battle. Ho-oh is the winner."
"Not good," said Max. "If the weather stays like this, Ash has no shot at winning. He only has Charizard left."
"Anything is possible," said Gary. "Ash will work around it somehow."
"Nice job, Torterra. Go, Charizard." Charizard looked to be tired from his last battle. The rain didn't help much either.
"Begin."
"Charizard use steel wing."
"You, too, Ho-oh," said Alex, who was drenched, but didn't seem to care. Ash was drenched as well, as it was now down pour. The attacks collided in mid-air. The attack caused a major water bubble in the middle of the arena, suspended twenty feet in the air. Neither pokemon could be seen.
The bubble erupted to reveal only one pokemon still in the air. However, nobody could tell who it was, because the rain was falling too heavily. "Arceus, can you see who is still up there?" Alex asked.
"Ho-oh is unable to battle. Charizard is the winner."
"Great job, Ho-oh," said Alex. "You deserve a rest."
"What happened?" asked Brock.
"The bubble in the air caused by the two steel wings connecting exploded," said Arceus. "Charizard managed to get away, but Ho-oh got most of the attack."
"This is it, Ash," said Alex. "We're each down to our final pokemon. It is time to decide who is the greatest trainer of all time."
"Bring it, Alex," said Ash.
"Let's go, Lugia," said Alex. Even through the rain, evidence of Lugia's entrance into the arena was visible. The dirt flying up from the floor as Lugia flapped its wings to slow its decent was visible.
"Lugia vs Charizard. Begin."
Lugia use steel wing.
"Dodge Charizard and use seismic toss." Charizard got a hold of Lugia and threw it to the ground. Lugia got up with ease.
Hydro pump, Lugia. Water shot out of Lugia's mouth.
"Dodge Charizard and use fire blast."
"Fire in a rainstorm."
Dodge Lugia. Lugia dodged. "You missed Ash," said Alex.
"Who said I was trying to hit Lugia?" replied Ash. Alex slapped herself in the forehead
"Why didn't I think of that?" A light mist was filling the arena, from the fire hitting water.
"Now, Charizard."
Keep an eye out, Lugia.
No problem, Alex, replied Lugia. Then Ash's plan came to light, literally. Light shown through the mist. It had stopped raining. It was now sunny out. Looks like Charizard has learned sunny day.
So it would seem, Lugia. So it would seem.
"When did Charizard learn that?" May asked.
"No clue," said Brock. "I've never seen Charizard use it before. Maybe Charizard learned it while it was at the Charzific Valley."
"That makes since," said Professor Oak. "It greatly helps out fire pokemon. It also decreases the power of Lugia's hydro pump. I have a feeling that this match is far from over."
"I agree gramps," said Gary. "This match has only begun."
A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. A few surprises here and there, like sunny day, Lugia and Ho-oh. This is one of the hardest battles to write. Sorry it took so long to update. I've been busy with moving, writing other stories, homework, and other things. It shouldn't take as long to update this time.
