Ash the Legendary Eon
Chapter 12
Almost a week has past since Sonic got scolipede and Ash is itching for a battle at the nearby Battle Club
"How much further until we get there?" whined Ash "I wanna battle now!"
"It's about ten minutes away Ash, relax already" answered Cilan who was getting a little tired of Ash's constant whining
"Ash chill alright" said Sakura "We all want to go there, but you're constant whining is driving us all batty"
Ash grumbled for a bit, but remained quite the rest of the way. Instead he worked on his psychic powers by levitating a large amount of rocks around him, though anyone could see that he was a little agitated by how he was walking and muttering stuff under his breath
Once the group arrived Ash moved the rocks to the side out of the way before dropping them so no one would trip over them before running inside
"Whoa slow down there!" called Don George from his place behind the counter "It's no where near closing time"
"Sorry, I've been itching to have a battle here since I found out this place was here" apologized Ash just as the rest came in
"Ash you're such a little kid" mocked Iris
"Bleeeeh" replied Ash as he stuck his tongue out at her
"Oh yeah that's real mature Ash" said Sonic as he rolled his eyes
"Whatever" replied Ash before turning back to Don George "Is anyone available to battle right now?"
"Well let me see" said Don George "Hmmmm yes there are a few trainers available right now, here take a look"
The group looked at the screen and saw a list of trainers who currently were waiting for a battle. Ash noticed a name on the screen and asked "Hey is it possible to see what the trainers have on their team?"
"Why yes indeed you can" answered Don George "Just head over to one of the other computers and look them up"
"Thanks" replied Ash as he went over to do just that
"Who you looking for?" asked Cilan
"A trainer named Trip" answered Ash "I met him just as he was starting his journey, he was a jerk thinking that just because I come from Kanto that he's better than me"
"I take it didn't go well" said Cilan
"Nope, pikachu beat his snivy pretty quickly thanks to his psychic powers he inherited from Alola" answered Ash
"I take it he didn't take well" asked Cilan
"Nope, he was pretty upset about it" answered Ash "He claimed that the next time we meet he was going to win"
"And you want to prove him wrong on that?" asked Iris
"That's right, all he knows is that I have pikachu so far" answered Ash "He hasn't seen any of my other pokemon yet, so he has no idea how to counter them"
"Couldn't he just look you up in the database?" asked Iris "Everyone is in there"
"Some of mine, Sonic and Sakura's information is classified, so what people will see isn't a clear picture" explained Ash "The only pokemon they'd see are the ones used in either a competition or someone like Professor Juniper, Officer Jenny, or a gym leader puts it on our profile"
"Why is your information classified?" asked Iris
"Uh Iris you really think their going to tell you?" asked Cilan
"We're their friends right?" asked Iris
"True, but there are somethings even friends keep from each other" replied Cilan
Iris huffed and walked off for a bit
"Well in any case lets set a battle between me and Trip" said Ash as he put in his request
"Hey Ash what do are profiles say?" asked Sakura
"Look them up, it shouldn't be that hard" answered Ash as he got up "Anyway I'm going to get ready to face Trip again"
Sonic and Sakura looked and saw that most if not all of their pokemon were unknown, their profiles did mention how many pokemon they currently had
"Huh, what do you know, Ash was right" noted Sonic
"Well I guess he can be correct on somethings" said Sakura
"Lets go see him face off against Trip before we have our own battles" suggested Sonic
"Well of course, we need to be there to support him after all we are his friends" agreed Sakura
The two caught up to Ash, Iris and Cilan where they found Ash already on the battlefield ready to fight Trip
"I'm going to show you that a boonie has no place here in Unova" said Trip
"Keep on talking trash Trip, I'm not listening" said Ash "I'm here to battle, not exchange insults"
"Pff whatever" said Trip
"Alright the three on three battle between Ash Ketchem and Trip will now commence" announced Don George
"Alright servine take the field" called Trip as he sent out his starter pokemon
Ash smirked and said "Come out charmeleon" as he sent out his pokemon
"So charmander was your starter" noted Trip
"Wrong, pikachu is my starter" corrected Ash "I just got lucky and encountered all three of the Kanto starter pokemon after they were abandoned by their former trainers and took them in, not to mention the other starter pokemon I've found since then"
"...Servine use Leaf Tornado!" called Trip
"Counter it with Inferno!" countered Ash "Then move in and use Air Cutter"
Servine sent forth a strong twister of leaves, but it was burned to a crisp by charmeleon's far more powerful attack. Servine dogged out of the way of the Inferno, but was caught off guard when charmeleon jumped into the air towards it and created spinning blades of air between it's claws before tossing them like a ninja hitting it dead on and doing a good amount of damage
"Fire Fang" called Ash
"Glare it while it's still in the air!" countered Trip
"Stop that with Smokescreen" called Ash
Charmeleon created a massive cloud of smoke that prevented servine from getting him in its Glare. Servine looked around frantically to see where charmeleon was before getting chomped on by a set of blazing fangs from behind and fainting
"Looks like I get the first win" said Ash when the smoke cleared enough for everyone to see the outcome of the last engagement
"No matter I will still win" said Trip as he recalled his pokemon "Tranqill take the stage"
"Charmeleon let someone else have a turn" said Ash
'Alright' replied charmeleon as he moved next to Ash
"Alright noctowl it's your turn" said Ash as he sent out his shiny pokemon
"What you have a shiny pokemon?!" demanded Trip "How the heck did you catch that?!"
"With extreme luck" answered Ash "I was able to catch him off guard and catch him in one fell swoop"
"Lucky ba#%&red" swore Trip
"Dude, language" said Sonic
"Tranqill use Quick Attack now!" ordered Trip
"Noctowl use Confusion to stop that and toss it away" called Ash
"Double Team it" countered Trip
Tranquill moved at a fast pace before making four copies of itself to avoid being targeted by noctowl's Confusion. It worked until tranquill got within five feet of noctowl who blasted it, knocking it back quite a ways
"Noctowl use Foresight so you don't lose track of it" called Ash "Then after that use Steel Wing"
"Tranquill use Wing Attack" countered Trip
The two birds clashed a few times, but when it looked like tranquill might actually come out on top thanks to its ability Super Luck, Ash told noctowl to use Roost to recover before striking out with a Confusion enhanced Gust. Tranquill was put on its last legs after that attack
"Grrrrr tranquill use Pluck" ordered Trip
"Counter it with Peck" called Ash
Noctowl was able to move faster and nail tranquill, knocking it out and giving Ash his second win in the battle
"Frillish come out here and win this for me" said Trip as he switched his pokemon around
"Noctowl come on back so our last partner can take the stage" said Ash
'Alright, I had my fun for now' replied noctowl as he flew over to Ash's side
"Pikachu it's your time to shine" said Ash
'I hear ya bud' said pikachu as he jumped onto the field
"That rodent again?" asked Trip
"Ok just because pikachu is known as the mouse pokemon doesn't give you the right to insult him" said Ash as his eye twitched a bit
"Whatever, at least now I have a way to stop his little tricks" said Trip
"We'll see about that" said Ash
"Frillish use Trick Room" called Trip "Then use Water Pulse"
"Pikachu use Protect, then Nasty Plot and Thunderbolt" countered Ash
Frillish quickly made an area where faster pokemon now moved slower and slow pokemon moved faster before firing off a large orb of water at pikachu who easily blocked the attack before powering himself up and send out a massive blast of electricity at frillish
"Quick Protect" called Trip
Frillish was just barely able to block the attack and maintain its Protect due to the sheer power behind pikachu's Thunderbolt
"Pikachu use Shock Wave" called Ash
"Frillish use Water Pulse to counter it" called Trip
"Quick use Dig to avoid that" called Ash as he knew due to Trick Room frillish will move faster than pikachu
Pikachu quickly dove underground, but not before being clipped by frillish's Water Pulse, and sent out a quick jolt of electricity out at frillish at hit it dead on. However frillish's ability Cursed Body activated disabling pikachu's use of Shock Wave for a bit, not that it bothered pikachu to much as he knows plenty more electric attacks he can use
"Frillish use Double Team, then Hydro Pump" ordered Trip
"Pikachu jump out and use Psybeam and Thunderbolt all around you" called Ash
Fillish created ten copies of itself before blasting the hole pikachu was in with Hydro Pump, however pikachu used Protect as he leaped out of the hole and blasted all the copies and the original with his combo move. Leaving frillish down to his last leg
"Curse you Ash, I can still win this" snarled Trip
"I think not" said Ash "Pikachu use Quick Attack and Spark to end this, and throw in Feint just for good measure"
"Protect against that and then use Wring Out" ordered Trip
Frillish wasn't able to hit pikachu with Wring Out, nor block pikachu's attack as Feint allowed him to get past Protect and take frillish out
"And the winner is Ash Ketchem!" announced Don George "What an impressive display of strategy and power"
"I will win against you Ash Ketchem I swear it" snarled Trip as he recalled his pokemon and stormed out of the building
Everyone watched Trip leave thinking how much of a poor sport he was. Out of the trainers present one of them wanted to test a pokemon he recently got against Ash's pokemon as they were apparently very strong, just what he looks for to test himself and his pokemon with
Ash, Sakura and Sonic picked up on this trainer's thoughts as they were psychic
"Anyone else want a battle?" asked Ash
A few hands went up from the crowd signaling that they wish to fight Ash
"Great, just let me heal up my pokemon and we can get started" said Ash happily
The other trainers went on to have their own battles or go train their pokemon, this included Iris, Cilan, Sonic and Sakura
Out of the nine trainers, besides the one particular one, that wanted to fight Ash, Ash won eight of them with the last one being extremely close
Soon it was time for the last trainer came onto the field
"So what's your name?" asked Ash
"The name's Paul" replied Paul
"Alright Paul where are you from?" asked Ash "I can see you're not from Unova"
"Veilstone City in Sinnoh" answered Paul "And you?"
"Pallet Town in Kanto" answered Ash
"What are you doing here in Unova then?" asked Paul "I can tell you're a rookie trainer, shouldn't you be taking on the Indigo League?"
"Annoying twins who think that just because their related to Professor Oak that they are the greatest thing in the world" answered Ash "What about you? Shouldn't you be in Sinnoh if we're following your logic?"
"I plan on going there soon" answered Paul "There are some pokemon I want to have so that I have a better chance at winning and surpassing my older brother"
"I see, and how do you treat your pokemon?" asked Ash "Because while it's ok to be hard on them, you can only go so far before it's considered abuse and you can lose your pokemon forever because of it"
"Why do you ask?" asked Paul with a slightly nervous feeling in his gut as he had seen that Ash was psychic from his battle against another psychic trainer
"Just a heads up" replied Ash "I'm not stupid Paul, while your view on wanting incredibly powerful pokemon is tolerable and something I can over look, it's how your going on about it that gives me concern"
"How I raise my pokemon is not for you to decide" said Paul
"I wasn't, but don't go around telling other trainers how to raise theirs either" said Ash
"Lets just settle this with a two on two battle" said Paul
"Fine by me" agreed Ash
"Go elekid" called Paul
"Interesting" noted Ash "Alright go gible"
"Smart move using a ground type to nullify my pokemon's electric attacks" noted Paul
"Ah but like any good trainer knows, typing isn't everything" replied Ash with a smirk "Now gible use Sandstorm to hide"
"Elekid use Swift" called Paul who didn't particularly like having to use a week attack, but it was the only move that would hit gible currently reliably
"Gible use Dig to avoid that and then go in with Take Down" called Ash
"Hit it with Low Kick when you get the chance" countered Paul
Gible deftly avoided the incoming stars by going underground before bursting out of it and hitting elekid hard, but it allowed it to knock gible back with a swift Low Kick
"Quick use Dragon Rage!" called Ash
"Use Protect to block it" countered Paul "Then use Brick Break and Quick Attack"
"Axew quick pay attention" said Iris from her place in the audience "You might learn something about using Dragon Rage"
Axew poked his head out to watch how Dragon Rage was done, and was jaw smacked by how more powerful it was than his own
Elekid was barely able to keep his Protect up from the attack due to the sheer level of power it held behind it
"Alright gible show them what you can do before they can recover" called Ash
'Got it' replied gible as he began gathering energy for his most powerful attack, Draco Meteor
"There is no way your pokemon knows that move" said Paul in disbelief and a little fear
"Oh, but he does" said Ash a little smug "He was teaching himself it when I met him, he still hasn't fully mastered it yet but he's dang well near"
Gible quickly began powering up his attack while Paul ordered elekid to use evade and/or use Protect against the powerful attack
A few seconds latter and gible successfully fired off his Draco Meteor into the air where it burst into a shower of small meteors that devastated the battlefield and took out poor elekid who was unable to defend itself against the attack, nor avoid it
"Given the situation I'd say elekid did as well as I hoped he did, but there is plenty room for improvement" said Paul as he returned his pokemon
"Yeah that elekid of yours is strong I'll give you that, and he likes to battle a lot which is a good thing" agreed Ash
"Well now lets see if my second pokemon can meet my standards" said Paul as he switched his fallen pokemon for a chimchar
"A chimchar eh? Hmm it appears as though he has a hidden strength" noted Ash "Well then lets see how he fairs against my pokemon that also has a hidden strength, go froakie"
"So your pokemon to has a power laying dormant as well?" asked Paul who was impressed by this news "Perhaps now chimchar can unlock it in this battle"
"Maybe, we'll have to see" said Ash "Froakie use Pound!"
"Use Flame Wheel!" ordered Paul
Froakie moved very fast and landed a solid punch on chimchar while deftly avoiding being hit by his Flame Wheel
"Frokie use Bubble now that you're at close range" called Ash
"Stop that with Flamethrower!" countered Paul
Chimchar easily broke threw the Bubble and nailed the surprised froakie hard, and did a fair amount of damage to him as well. But being a water type meant that the damage was less than what it could have been
"Alright frokie use Rock Smash" called Ash
"Dig to avoid that" called Paul
"You use Dig as well frokie, don't let him get away" called Ash
Chimchar dove underground to avoid getting hit, but was surprised when froakie came after him and punched him out of the ground. Chimchar though took the initiative and used Furry Swipes on froakie and caused an equal amount of damage to him
"They're pretty equal so far" noted Ash "But we're not going to lose, froakie use Scald"
"Use Flamethrower to counter it" ordered Paul "Use all of your power to break threw it and win this"
"Froakie don't let them" called Ash
Froakie and Chimchar fired off their attacks which stalemated for almost a minute before chimchar ran out of steam and wound up getting hit by froakie's Scald, which had lost a lot of its power from the stalemate but was enough to earn Ash the win
"...You are one of the better trainers I have faced Ash Ketchem, I look forward to facing you again" said Paul as he recalled chimchar "You better not slack off for I'm going to keep pushing my pokemon to the best they can be, you better do the same"
"Oh don't worry about that Paul, I'm going to make it to the top" replied Ash with a grin "So of course I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure their as strong as they can be"
"Good, now I best get going" said Paul as he turned to leave
Latter that night after Cilan and Iris had fallen asleep Ash, Sonic and Sakura stayed up so that they could train without being seen
"So Ash what are we going to do tonight?" asked Sakura
"Well first off start you two on learning your special move, then after that one of the moves that I know and mastered" answered Ash "So no Draco Meteor"
"Aww poo" complained Sakura
"Sis we're not ready for that move yet" said Sonic
"Alright, so which move do you want me to teach you?" asked Ash
"Well how about Thunderbolt?" asked Sakura "I already now Shock Wave, so it can't be that much harder to learn, right?"
"I think I'll like to learn Swift" said Sonic "I don't have a move with near perfect accuracy yet"
"Alright" replied Ash "Well lets start with me teaching you how to summon up the energy to use your special move first, then work on teaching you those two moves"
By the end of the night Sakura and Sonic learned how to summon the correct energy to use their attacks, but that was it. They had better luck learning the moves they wanted to have Ash teach them, with Sonic learning Swift fairly easily as it's a simple move while Sakura still needs a little more time before she learns Thunderbolt. Ash himself mastered his Hyper Beam attack and almost mastered Psyshock

Note: Surprised by Paul's appearance? I thought it would be interesting if he was in Unova, he knows Ash is a rookie but is more skilled than most new trainers and as he respects strength, he currently respects Ash. He also was subtly told that he needs to watch his back as the his training methods are borderline abusive, if not already
Paul knows Ash is psychic as he had seen Ash face off and win against another psychic trainer, no she didn't figure out Ash, Sakura or Sonic are secretly legendary pokemon. They kept that part hidden far away from her probing mind, not that she got very far due to their powerful psychic defenses mind you
