14. Chapter 10 Part V

Chapter 10: The Final Battle Part V

Two Pokémon left each. The crowd is psyched to see the ending of this decisive match. Abel sends out Pulseman (Male Lucario) and Ash sends out Bulbasaur.

Abel: Yeah, I saw that coming. I've heard of this Bulbasaur. Let's see if what I've heard is true. Pulseman, attack!

Round 19:

Pulseman begins with Dragon Pulse. Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip to spring itself in the air. Pulseman uses Aura Sphere to hit Bulbasaur mid-air. Bulbasaur's Vine Whip avoided it from crashing with the floor. Bulbasaur charges SolarBeam while using Razor Leaf. Neither Ash nor Abel noticed Bulbasaur charging SolarBeam. Queen Ivysaur did, however, but didn't say anything. When Pulseman tries to use Dragon Pulse, Bulbasaur let out its Solarbaeam and hits Pulseman. Immediately after, when Pulseman recovers from the blast, Bulbasaur launches a Leech Seed. Minutes later, after constant fighting, Pulseman goes down, mostly due to Leech Seed.

The crowd roars and Abel has one Pokémon left. The crowd knows exactly which Pokémon is left for Abel to use, including Ash.

Abel: Alright, Ash. Looks like you have a chance of beating me, after all. All you need to do is to beat MissMaster. But be careful. I saved her for last, so you know this is going to be hard. Burst! I summon you! MISSMASTER!

Round 20:

Abel sends out MissMaster (Female Shiny Gardevoir). MissMaster uses Psychic to instantly beat Bulbasaur. She is more interested in fighting Ash's Pikachu. One Pokémon left. MissMaster versus Pikachu. This is the final round of the final battle.

Round 21:

Pikachu begins with Quick Attack, but MissMaster pushes him away with Psychic. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt. MissMaster charges an Energy Ball. The Thunderbolt hits the Energy Ball, giving it electrical power. MissMaster throws the Energy Ball and uses Psychic to control the movement, aiming it for Pikachu. Pikachu uses Iron Tail to stop it and a big smoking explosion occurs.

When the smoke cleared, Pikachu dashes towards MissMaster with Volt Tackle. MissMaster tries to stop with Psychic, but Pikachu's momentum is too great for MissMaster. Immediately after, Pikachu hits MissMaster with Volt Tackle, then a Thunderbolt. MissMaster hits Pikachu with her own Thunderbolt. Then, she uses Psychic to push Pikachu to the other side of the Battle Glacier.

Ash, thinking the battle has gone long enough, commands Pikachu to use the Ion Charge combo Abel taught Pikachu (See Saving Ash Chapter 2). MissMaster charges an Energy Ball, using Thunderbolt and Ice Punch to give the Energy Ball ice and lightning elements, and Psychic to add pressure and aim. She rushes towards Pikachu (since throwing it will just make the Energy Ball explode), while Pikachu does the same. When the attacks collided, a really powerful and large explosion occurs.

When the smoke clears forty seconds later, both MissMaster and Pikachu are standing, tired. MissMaster turns to Abel. Abel looks at MissMaster, nodding his head "yes". She then turns to Queen Ivysaur, Angel, Pikachu, Ash, the audience, and back to Abel. Then, for the first time in a long time, MissMaster finally falls.
