Ayame's Journey Chapter 21- The Champion
**Ayame's P.O.V** **A few months later**
I took a deep breath, I'd beat all four of the Elite four so far, and was going up against the Champion next. Alder wasn't going to be easy to beat, even less easy considering I'd never really beaten Pokemon White, so I had no idea what Pokemon I'd be facing, or how tough they'd be.
N must have noticed how nervous I am, because he smiled at me and said, "Don't worry you'll be able to beat him easily." and I simply said, "It's not going to be as easy as it sounds, N."
I looked at my Pokemon. Myra is now Level 99, Bones is now level 98, Zecora now is level 89 and is a Zebstrika. Princess is now level 90, when she was about to evolve, she somehow had stopped herself from evolving so she's still a Servine, Lilly and Cino had somehow done the same. Lilly is now level 99, and Cino is also level 99.
"N's right! We can do this, as long as we all believe we can, Ayame!" Myra smiled at me happily, and I smiled back, she was right.
"Right! We can do this!" I took a deep breath, and headed towards the door that led to the big room where I'd fight Alder. N stayed where he was, he'd been staying in the main room through all the battles, Myra and the others followed. We walked in, and I seen Alder.
He smiled, and said, "You made it past the Elite Four? Congratulations! So you're ready to battle the strongest Trainer in the Unova region?" I smirked, of course it was my father's trade-mark smirk, and I felt confident.
"Of course I'm ready! My Pokemon are too, of course. Right guys?" I looked at Myra and the others, they all smiled and said, "Of course we are!"
"Well since your ready, let the battle begin! Accelgor, it's time to battle!" Alder sent the strange-looking bug-type Pokemon out, and I thought a moment. I had to choose who'd go against Accelgor VERY carefully.
"Bones, you ready?" I looked at Bones having decided, and he nodded, and flew into the battle field-thing.
"Accelgor, use Bug Buzz!" Alder commanded, and I immediately said, "Fly out of range of the red waves, then use Steel Wing!" I watched as Bones flew into the air, dodging all the sound waves, then his wings became steel-like, and he dove down, hitting Accelgor hard with his wings, then flew back a bit.
Accelgor fell down, and stood up. I could tell it was hard for him, because he was struggling a lot. "Ah, so you can speak Pokemon?" Alder questioned, all I did was nod. "Very good tactic indeed." Alder said, then he told Accelgor, "Accelgor use Energy Ball."
I retorted back with, "Bones dodge, then use Shadow Ball." Bones nodded and flew into the sky, neatly dodging every single one of the Energy Balls (Accelgor fired a lot of them at Bones), finally Accelgor stopped to take a breath, and Bones formed a Shadowy energy ball in his mouth, and with a screech, sent it hurling towards Accelgor.
"Accelgor dodge!" Alder said, but Accelgor was weakened from Steel Wing, that was more then obvious, and he was probably out of breath from firing so many Energy Balls at Bones, that he didn't move in time.
I kept my smirk, and Bones landed in front of me. Accelgor fell back with a groan, and his eyes were swirls.
"Good job. Accelgor return. Escavalier, let's go!" Alder sent out the Pokemon. Wearing armor, it has a high speed and attacks with two lance-like things.
"Bones, return please." Bones nodded, and flew over beside me, landing with a questioning look at me, and I continued, "Zecora, you ready?" Zecora seemed pleased from what I could tell, but she also seemed a bit frightened. None-the-less she nodded, and stepped into the battle-field-thing.
Zecora's type might not be very affective against Escavalier, but Zebstrika are naturals at speed. Escavalier have a natural speed of twenty, but Zebstrika. They have a natural speed of one hundred sixteen. Zecora would definitely have an easy time dodging.
"Nice choice." Alder noted, then said, "Escavalier, Giga Impact!" my eyes widened and I said, "Zecora, dodge!" Zecora immediately began running away, stopped at a wall, I questioned what she was doing, when Escavalier was about to hit her, she ran out of the way, and Escavalier crashed into the wall!
I wonder why I hadn't thought of that myself. "Good thinking, Zecora! Now, use Double Team and follow it up with, Flame Charge, K?" Zecora nodded, and quickly ran back to the other side of the room, then tons of look-a-likes appeared, then they stamped a hoof, and began running faster then ever towards Escavalier, not long engulfed in flames, just before impact, I watched as the look-a-likes disappeared, and she hit Escavalier who cried out.
Zecora moved back, and Escavalier fell forward with swirl-eyes. I still kept my confident smirk, and I seen Zecora smiled happily at me, as though she thought she finally did something right for once.
"Escavalier return. Vanilluxe, your up!" I studied this, Zecora would be a good match for this. "Zecora, you ready?" Zecora turned to look at me, I could see the confidence in her eyes, and she nodded.
"Vanilluxe, use Blizzard!" Alder commanded.
"Zecora, use Flame Charge, quick!" Blizzard sometimes freezes the opponent, so I decided Zecora should use a fire-type move while the Blizzard was summoned.
Zecora charged forward as the Blizzard started, and was engulfed in flames. I watched as the blizzard touched the flames, and immediately disappeared. I put a force-field around me, Myra, Lilly, Cino, Bones, and Princess so that we wouldn't be affected.
Suddenly the Blizzard stopped, I let the force-field drop, and seen Vanilluxe on the ground with swirl eyes, while Zecora was walking back to me.
"Vanilluxe return! Bouffalant let's go!" Alder sent out the large buffalo-Pokemon, and I thought a moment. "Zecora, come on back. Princess, you ready?" Zecora walked behind me, and Princess ran forward.
"Bouffalant use Head Charge!" "Princess, jump into the air before he hits, you! Try to land on his back!" Princess nodded, and ran away, then she turned back, and immediately jumped into the air, doing three flips in the air, she landed right on Bouffalant's back.
"Princess, hold on to his back, be sure not to fall off! Use Vine Whip to keep hold, and attack Bouffalant with Iron Tail!" I got the feeling this might not go as planned, but I decided to keep believing we could do it, surely we'd win! We've won pretty much every battle so far, so why would this one be any different? Simple. Because this time, we're battling the strongest trainer in the Unova region.
'NO! Don't think like that Ayame! You have to believe in yourself, and your Pokemon! And stay confident, just not TOO confident.' I commanded myself, as I watched Princess use her Vine Whip to stay on Bouffalant's back, then her tai became a metallic silver, and she quickly smacked Bouffalant with it.
Bouffalant snorted in anger and most likely pain too. Alder must have noticed my 'plan' because he said, "Bouffalant! Try and get her off your back!" but Princess held on tight, using Vine Whip. I seen her glance at me and she smiled as if to say 'I WILL win this battle! I'm not going to give up!' I smiled back.
"Ok Princess, Leaf Blade, K? Be sure to stay on his back though!" Princess nodded, and a Leaf appeared in her hand, then she hit Bouffalant with it, then it disappeared, as Bouffalant now struggled to even stand.
"Bouffalant! Don't give up, you can do this!" Alder said, then commanded, "Bouffalant use, Head Charge to get that Servine off your back!"
"Princess, while Bouffalant is running away, I want you to jump off his back, and land behind him. Once he starts heading towards you, use Leaf Tornado, K?" Princess nodded as Bouffalant began running around like crazy.
I watched as Princess waited a moment, and then jumped off, quickly turning around so she could see Bouffalant. Bouffalant then quickly turned and headed towards Princess.
I smirked as Princess jumped up, did a flip, and began spinning, landing on her nose, but just an inch above the ground, then a green tornado formed around her, and leaves appeared in it.
Bouffalant rammed right into it, and fell with swirled eyes.
"Bouffalant return. Well, that leaves me with two Pokemon, left. You've done a good job! Druddigon, you can do this!" he sent out the large dragon Pokemon, and Princess gasped.
"Princess, you can come back. Bones, do you think you could this, or do you want Lilly or Myra or Cino to go?" I seen something in Bones eyes, it seemed like… sadness maybe?
'I can do this. It was a Druddigon who separated me from my parents, the day you saved me from Purrloin's Shadow Ball. It was Alder who was trying to catch it, and it had kidnapped me from my mother and father, who were trying to catch me. When Druddigon dropped me, they thought it was all over for me, and left." Bones' story made me sad, and I nodded understandingly.
Bones flew forward and never stopped glaring at Druddigon. Alder smiled, "Again? Well now that I know what you'll most likely do, I think we've got this…" he chuckled then commanded, "Druddigon Night Slash!"
I took a deep shaky breath and said, "Bones dodge, and use-" Bones flew into the air, and said, "I got this, I'd like to go on my own orders, for this battle." I smiled understandingly again.
I knew how that was. I believe it's called 'revenge' you almost always would rather go on your own orders then somebody else's.
"I understand how you feel, Bones." I said aloud, and sat on the ground. Myra jumped into my lap. Bones' wings became a metallic silver, as Druddigon collided with the wall, he'd done the same thing that Zecora had done.
Bones began quickly flying towards Druddigon, while forming Shadow Ball in his mouth, screeching he fired it at Druddigon, and I watched in amazement as he then slammed into Druddigon with his metallic wings.
Bones landed in front of me, with a satisfied smile. I felt confused, until I looked over at Druddigon to see him hit the ground with swirl-eyes.
Cino must have remembered he often bugged Bones, because he looked up frightfully at Bones and said, "Bones, if I've ever done anything to anger you… I'm sorry.." Bones only chuckled.
"Druddigon return. That was the quickest battle yet! But now, you face my last and strongest Pokemon. Volcarona, I choose you!" the large moth-like Pokemon appeared in the red light, and I took in a shaky breath as I stood. My legs felt like rubber. I was probably just a little nervous.
Who am I kidding? I'm more then A LITTLE nervous! Zecora must have noticed how nervous I am, because she moved up against my right side, and allowed me to lean on her. I smiled gratefully.
"Ok… Bones you want to finish this battle?" Bones nodded, and said, "I'll do what I did last time, but with a little extra thing to confuse Volcarona."
Alder nodded at my decision and said, "I'm surprised that Mandibuzz isn't worn out yet… Volcarona, Hyper Beam!" Bones quickly moved, and Volcarona began trying to hit him with a multi-colored beam of light.
Bones flew into the air, and prepared a Shadow Ball in his mouth, then with a screech shot it at Volcarona. It was a direct hit! Volcarona grunted in surprised, and Bones used Double Team as many look-a-likes appeared, they're wings all became a metallic silver, and they headed for Volcarona.
Volcarona seemed uncertain as to which one was the real Bones, and the look-a-likes disappeared as the real Bones hit Volcarona who fell with swirl eyes.
TA-DA! I've been working on this for a while, so I hope you all liked it! ^^ Please Review!
