I SAY HI! =D
Okay, I put that down for "Randumbness" and didn't mean to plagiarize Arceus-MASTER's page, so tell him I offer my apologies and chocolate chip cookies if he takes offense
Okay, Chapter 26 is all here ready for you to read. Have fun, and review now!
NOW!
(Credit goes to Strike-Minna for a couple ideas for this chapter.)
"AAAGGGH!" Paul yelled. " COME ON! QUIT DRAGGING ME!"
"Come on!" Ash said. "Give me a break! We're going to the Coliseum! THE COLISEUM! Am I the only one who's getting excited about this?"
"YES!" Paul shouted, tearing away. "Cipher is back and all you care about is some tournament in some new building!"
"Ash just can't spare any chance for a battle, can he?" wondered Ichigo.
"No, he can't," said Rukia.
"Come on!" Candice said. "Ash, we can't do this. Cipher's in Sinnoh, and we have to stop them. We can't stop at some tournament."
Paul snorted. "Heh, you're probably not joining because you're too scared that you'll lose in the tournament.
"Wait-what did you just say?" Candice suddenly asked.
"I said you're too chicken to join because you think you'll lose!"
"Oh that is IT!" Candice shouted, now really ticked off.
*insert beatdown sounds here*
Credit goes to Strike Minna for the "Let's beat up Paul =D" idea.
"Ha!" Paul shouted, although he was really beat up. "Is that all you got?"
"No!" said Candice. "The worst is to come…right now!"
Immediately, a HUGE ice spike jutted out from the ground…right underneath Paul. Guess what that means?
"AAAAAGGGH!" Paul yelled.
"OH MY GOD, PAUL!" Dawn yelled.
Candice walked off, steaming.
Dawn went to a phone booth and said, "Hello? Um, do you think you can surgically remove a large block of ice from a human male's…uh…"
Later…
An ambulance came and they dragged Paul off the ice spike. It must have SUCKED. Then they put him on a stretcher and got him into the ambulance.
"Whoa…I hope he'll be all right…" said Ash.
Candice just turned away, still pretty ticked off.
Much Later…
The hospital called to tell Paul would be just fine.
"Great…I hope he's okay…" said Dawn.
"I hope he's not," said Candice.
Much MUCH later…
"So, are you alright?" asked Ash.
"Yeah…" said Paul. "I'll be okay…especially 'cause I've got balls of steel…"
Ash immediately called Aeron.
"Huh?" wondered Paul. "What are you doing?"
"Hello, Aeron?" asked Ash. "I just called to let you know that…Paul stole your line."
"Yeah, okay."
"So, are you going to do anything about it?"
"No."
"What?"
"He's got Gladias right? And Gladias is steel, right? So, it's okay for him to say that. And let me guess, Candice got ticked off and caused a GIGANTIC spike of ice to appear underneath…well…you know. So, is he still living?"
"Ye-"
Ash hadn't even finished speaking when Candice shot a freezing beam of cold through the window, which arced downwards and blasted Paul…in the same spot.
"Uh…no, actually."
"WHAT? What, did Candice blast a freezer beam and shot him down there again…am I right, or am I wrong?"
"Yeah, she did just that…"
And so, after Ash forced them to enter the tournament…
"Welcome everyone to the Colosseum! This…wait, do I need to go over the rules?" asked the announcer guy.
"YES!" some other person shouted.
"Okay, this challenge is a tournament-based battle system. Each trainer can only use three Pokémon, and only one can be sent out at a time. When all of a trainer's Pokémon have been knocked out, the match is over. Do I need to repeat the rules?"
"YES!" some other person shouted.

"YES!" some other person shouted.
Ash and Paul were getting very annoyed now.
Several thousand repetitions later…
"Okay, this challenge is a tournament-based battle system. Each trainer can only use three Pokémon, and only one can be sent out at a time. When all of a trainer's Pokémon have been knocked out, the match is over. Do I need to repeat the rules?"
"YES!" some other person shouted.
"JUST GET ON WITH IT ALREADY GOD DANG IT!" Ash screamed, furious.
"FINE!" the other person yelled.
"All right!" Ash said. "Looks like I'm up first!" He jumped down directly into the arena. "Okay, who's taking me on?"
"You forgot I entered, didn't you?" asked Wallace.
"Oh, crud," said Ash.
Hoenn League Champion Wallace would like to battle! (Yay! The awesome part came! =D)
"Go, Milotic!" shouted Wallace.
"Come on, Sceptile!" shouted Ash.
"Milotic! Use Ice Beam!" shouted Wallace.
Milotic began to generate icy energy, and then fired it at Sceptile in a beam which rapidly froze over. However, Sceptile jumped out of the way and then bolted towards Milotic.
"Sceptile!" shouted Ash. "Leaf Blade!"
Sceptile's leaves on his arms combined into two on each arm and he slashed Milotic with his new blades.
"Milotic! Dragon Pulse!" shouted Wallace.
Milotic generated purple dragonic energy and then fired it out in a pulse.
Sceptile dodged again and then blasted vegetation in all directions, slamming Milotic with a storm of leaves. (It literally was the move Leaf Storm!)
"Now, Leaf Blade!" shouted Ash.
Sceptile zoomed towards Milotic and his leaves glowed again.
But as Sceptile zoomed close…
"Milotic! Blizzard!" shouted Wallace.
Sceptile's eyes widened in shock.
Milotic blasted him with a storm of ice, which sent Sceptile flying.
Sceptile quickly jumped back up and then suddenly, the bulbs on his back began to glow with solar energy.
Wallace was shocked. "Milotic, Rain Dance!"
Too late.
Sceptile blasted an intense beam of sunlight at Milotic's face. (Yay for Solarbeams! =D)
BOOM!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- *gasp* -HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-
HEY! WHO'S SABOTAGING MY STORY?
KA-BLAM!
While the author beats up the saboteur…
Milotic was defeated.
"W00T! I WON!" shouted Ash.
A Pokéball konked him on the head. "OW!" he yelled.
"We get to use two more Pokémon, right?" asked Wallace.
"Oh crap," said Ash.
Candice watched. "I think Ash has only TWO Pokémon on him that can battle Water types especially. He might have problems…"
Paul snorted. "Wow, you're so chicken that-"
Candice slugged him in the face and stalked off again, steamed. (Geez, she sure is steamed, and she's the gym leader of ice? Whoa.)
Several matches that I don't feel like going through later…
Ash was now in the semifinals! =D
And guess who his opponent was?
"Oh crap," said Ash.
It was…TAKUTO. The guy who had the Darkrai and used it to plow through all eight of Sinnoh's Gyms. Ash had defeated his Darkrai once, but not before his Darkrai had knocked out HALF his party.
"Well, it's been a while, Ash," said Takuto.
"Um…hey…Takuto…" Ash said.
"Let's see how much you've improved since our last battle!" said Takuto.
Pkmn Trainer Takuto would like to battle!
"If you haven't guessed, already, I'll be using Darkrai!" shouted Takuto, tossing his Pokéball and releasing the Pokémon of Nightmares.
"Well, then, I'll be using Heracross!" shouted Ash.
Heracross and Darkrai clashed a little.
"Heracross, attack Darkrai with a whole ton of Fury Cutter!" shouted Ash.
Heracross drew back one of his fists and then slashed Darkrai multiple times in succession, each hit dealing more damage than before.
"Darkrai, Dark Pulse and Ice Beam! In tandem!" shouted Takuto.
Darkrai generated a blast of darkness and fired it at Heracross. Then he generated cold energy and blasted it out in a beam.
To their surprise, Heracross merely bent down and held his hands above his head in an Endure. Both attacks slammed into him. But he emerged still up, but badly beaten.
"Heracross, Counter!" shouted Ash.
Takuto and Darkrai stared in shock.
Heracross unleashed a devastating punch on Darkrai, filled with all the energy Darkrai had thrown at him doubled. (Note: Ice Beam and Dark Pulse are actually special moves, so I kind of messed up. OH WELL.)
Darkrai fell, but got up quickly and then generated a sphere of darkness, unleashing a bolt of it in a Dark Void.
Heracross quickly dodged and then delivered a quick swipe of his claws to Darkrai.
"Nice Brick Break, Heracross!" shouted Ash. "Now…finish it! Hyper Beam!"
Heracross generated huge energy and then blasted it out in one intense beam towards Darkrai.
However, Darkrai dodged and then blasted Heracross with a Dark Pulse, blasting Heracross back. Darkrai continued to blast Dark Pulses at Heracross, which Heracross dodged around.
"Heracross, Megahorn! Let's go!" shouted Ash.
Heracross's…ah…"horn" glowed with energy and he charged forward and slammed into Darkrai with intense force, and Darkrai was even stunned from the blow.
"Now!" Ash shouted.
Heracross unleashed a Hyper Beam on Darkrai, and this time, there was no avoiding it.
KA-BLAM!
Darkrai was down from the attack.
"Darkrai, return," said Takuto. "Go, Latios!"
Takuto's second Pokémon, Latios, came out.
"Heracross, Megahorn!" shouted Ash.
Heracross immediately tried to charge Latios.
"It won't work!" shouted Takuto. "Latios! Luster Purge!"
Latios began to generate lustrous rays of pale purple and blue-gray light in front of him. He then fired it out in rays, slamming Heracross and knocking him out.
Ash recalled Heracross. "Go! Glalie!"
Glalie came out…and then Ice Beamed Ash out of affection. O_o
Everyone gaped.
One melting Ash out of the ice block later…
"G-Glalie…" Ash said, his teeth chattering. "I-Ice B-Beam!"
Glalie immediately generated cold energy and then fired out a beam of white energy which rapidly froze over. (Wait, did I describe this in this chapter already? OH WELL.)
Latios quickly flew out of the way, and then zoomed towards Glalie.
"Latios, Giga Impact!" shouted Takuto.
Latios tucked in his "arms" zoomed towards Glalie with alarming force, energy rushing around him. (Why do I hate my descriptions?)
"Glalie, Ice Beam!" shouted Ash.
Glalie immediately ducked underneath the flying Latios and then blasted Latios with Ice Beam, causing Latios to crash into the side of the arena, but he got back up, whirled and then shot towards Glalie. His wings glowed in a metallic sort of way, and then he raked Glalie with his wing.
"Yes, Latios!" shouted Takuto. "Keep up the Steel Wing Barrages!"
Latios continued to rake Glalie with his wings.
"Now! Dragon Claw!" shouted Takuto.
Latios's claws glowed, and he raked Glalie with them. He dug them into Glalie and prepared a Luster Purge…
"Glalie!" Ash suddenly shouted. "Now's our chance! Sheer Cold!"
Latios's eyes widened. He immediately tried to get away, but his situation was hopeless. He had dug his claws too deeply into Glalie to remove them.
Glalie began to draw in icy energy, and then unleashed it in one enormous blast, which hit Latios dead on, point blank.
Latios fell, unconscious.
Takuto recalled Latios. "Well, Ash, impressive. You've knocked out both my Darkrai and Latios, and only one of your Pokémon has fainted. But I warn you, this is one of my strongest Pokémon. Now go, Heatran!"
Glalie did the thing a smart person would be: run away.
Heatran blasted wave after wave of fire at Glalie. Pretty soon, the entire battlefield was set ablaze. (Good thing Glalie floats.)
"AAAAAGGGHHH! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!" Ash shouted.
Takuto just happened to be in the only area that wasn't burning.
"Lucky!" growled Ash.
"Heatran, Magma Storm!" shouted Takuto.
Heatran stomped on the ground and roared, sending magma shooting out in all directions. After that, it was pretty much rinse and repeat. Glalie got hit several times by the waves of magma, eventually knocking him out.
"Well, Ash, this has been an interesting battle. It's a shame you're going to lose," said Takuto.
"Not really!" shouted Ash. "Now it's Pikachu's turn!"
Pikachu jumped onto the battlefield.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" shouted Ash.
"Heatran, Flamethrower!" shouted Takuto.
Pikachu sent a pulsing blast of electricity at Heatran, which Heatran easily countered with a jet of flame from his mouth.
But as the two continued to clash…
"It's time now," said a Cipher Peon. "This is our chance to defeat Ash Ketchum."
"Uh huh," said his comrade, not taking his eyes off a DSi XL.
"Get ready. Bring out your strongest Pokémon, troops. There are also some of us outside. All of us will attack when I give the signal. We will crush everyone easily with our Pokémon."
"Sir yes sir!" shouted the Cipher Peons. Many heads turned their way, forcing the Cipher Peons to scramble. Except for the one that was playing Pokémon Pearl Version on the DSi XL. (Wait, a Pokémon game in a Pokémon fanfic? Why does this seem strange to me? Anyway, Credit goes to Strike-Minna for that, too.)
"Whoa! It's a Cipher Peon!" shouted one of the spectators. This caused widespread panic in the crowd.
"Uh huh," said the Cipher Peon with the DSi XL.
"Let's get out of here!" the crowd shouted, running away.
"Uh huh," said the Cipher Peon with the DSi XL.
"Get back here, you idiot!" hissed the commander.
"Uh huh," said the Cipher Peon with the DSi XL.
…
"Uh huh," said the Cipher Peon with the DSi XL.
…
"Uh huh," said the Cipher Peon with the DSi XL.
…
Dawn noticed the crowd clearing from a certain spot. "What the-?" she wondered. She decided to go check it out. "Be right back, guys," she said, and headed out.
Meanwhile…
Pikachu blasted Heatran with a Thunder, and it actually collided.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTT!
Heatran was hit hard with a bolt of thunder from the sky, and the attack left him paralyzed.
"Yeah!" Ash shouted. "Now, Pikachu-"
"Ready?" asked a Cipher Peon.
"Yep," said all the Cipher Peons he was commanding.
"Okay, let's go! 3…2…1…now!"
KA-BOOM!
"WAAAAH!" Ash shouted.
Immediately, Cipher Peons flooded into the area.
"These guys again?" wondered Ichigo. "Okay, Bankai!" A black and red storm of energy erupted around him, and he dashed out of it, complete with new coat and, no duh, Tensa Zangetsu.
"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!" Rukia released her Shikai.
"Bankai!" shouted Renji. A storm of energy erupted around him as well. He emerged with…well, do I have to go over it all the time?
The Cipher Peons brought out their strongest Pokémon…a Level 1 Bidoof.
*insert record scratch here*
"…"
Ichigo lowered his sword. "Errr…what?"
"Crud!" shouted a Cipher Peon. "We used up our strongest Pokémon by having them use Explosion! We gotta-"
Ash looked pretty, well, not happy.
"I got my match interrupted…and THIS is what I get?" Ash yelled, furious.
Everyone decided it was a good choice to back up.
Ash held up his Pokédex and the armor plate turned into energy, flowing into his Pokédex.
"HERE'S WHAT YOU GET FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS BULL CRAP, CIPHER!" shouted Ash, thumbing the button.
On the screen of Ash's Pokédex, an ancient Pokemon, never seen by the eyes of many, appeared. It roared, and one part of it was zoomed in on. Ash pulled back his Pokédex and held out his free hand, which generated a jagged sphere of aura. Ash whipped up his hands around, and then slammed them together.
"Come forth, my friend!" Ash shouted. "Champion Fighting Elemental Resurrection!" A blue whirlwind whipped up around him, drawing in strange, free floating blue particles.
Within his inner world, an immensely powerful being rose, ethereal light flowing through him.
The blue typhoon started to die down, revealing powerful, heavily muscled arms. These carried kite-shaped weapons on their wrists similar to Aldamon's (from Digimon's fourth season). And then his full form started to appear. An aerodynamically armored lower half was revealed, with sleek talons designed for running at high speed, or doing anything else fast. His torso had a similarily sleek armor, form-fitting and more for quick movement than defensive power. Wings shining with an aura untamable by mere mortals spread from his back, flapping briefly to clear the storm from his head, which looked similar to Zephyrmon's (also from Digimon Frontier, fourth season), but was more male, with slightly fiercer eyes, and the wings on his head pointed backwards more, and the feathers were longer and sleeker. They actually pointed backwards rather than downwards. The mask also covered a bit more of his face. All over his body, aura flickered and surged, ready to do some butt-kicking.
The new Pokemon flew down towards a blue circle with the kanji for "Fighter". He landed on his knee, swept his arms to the sides and unleashed a fury of aura in all directions. He then jumped up and spun himself around in a vortex of aura before coming down standing tall. "G-Force Auralda!" he shouted. (YES, IF YOU ARE WONDERING, I COPIED, PASTED, AND EDITED THIS PASSAGE FROM AURALDA'S DEBUT CHAPTER. SHAME ON ME.)
"OH S***!" yelled the Cipher Peons. "Let's get out of here, quick!"
"I don't think so," said Auralda. "Aura Sphere!"
Auralda began generating spheres of aura and then blasted them at the Cipher Peons, creating pretty big explosions.
"AUGH!" shouted the Cipher Peons.
The next thing they saw was a holy blue light. Wait, HOLY?
"Ah…I think we'll be seeing God soon…" said one Cipher Peon.
"What are you, Christian?" yelled the Commander.
"No, I'm Catholic," said the Cipher Peon.
"Aura Storm!" shouted Auralda.
A harsh aura generated from…well, aura, emitted from Auralda's hands, and then he pointed them at the Cipher Peons, and generated a HUGE storm of aura to blast down on top of them.
When it was over, the Cipher Peons were defeated.
Auralda landed and then aura flowed around him, and when it dispelled he was just Ash again.
"What was that?" Takuto asked.
"Well…it's…" Ash began, wondering how he was going to explain it.
"Let's just settle with 'a long story'," said Paul.
"Ah," said Takuto. "Well, it seems our match is delayed because the Colisseum has sustained heavy damage from Cipher's assault, all those Pokémon using Explosion and all…"
"Let's continue!" shouted Ash.
"WHAT?"
"Us doing a battle has nothing to do with the condition of the Coliseum, right?" asked Ash. "Let's Battle!"
"Ash, can't you take your mind off of battling for even a minute?" groaned Candice.
"Geez, Candice, I didn't know you were so-"
Two seconds later, an ambulance was forced to pull up next to the Colisseum for the same patient a second time that day.
Sheesh…Candice is cool (literally), but you really shouldn't get on her bad side.
So, that was Chapter 26! Hope you enjoyed reading it, and remember to review!
Hard to believe this thing took so long to make…:P
Thanks to Strike-Minna, by the way.
Now, I wondered what happened to the Cipher Peon with the DSi XL…
"Piplup! Hydro Pump!"
"Uh huh," said the Cipher Peon as he was blown away by the mass of water.
Oh.
