Chapter 22 - Battle For Vengeance! Jack Vs. Daniel!

"The battle will now commence!" The referee announced. "It will be Jack Willows versus Daniel!"

Jack and Daniel stood on opposite sides of the battlefield, which was a safari-based battlefield.

"Are both trainers ready?"

Jack and Daniel nodded.

"BEGIN!"

"Rhyperior, out!" Daniel tossed his Pokeball.

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior roared.

"Abomasnow, I choose you!" Jack tossed his Pokeball.

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow yelled his name.

"Rhyperior, use Hammer Arm!"

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior's hand glows red and charges towards Abomasnow.

"Abomasnow, use Energy Ball!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow opens his mouth and forms a green ball of energy in front of his mouth and fires it at Rhyperior, knocking Rhyperior back and canceling his move.

"Rhyperior, again! Hammer Arm!"

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior's hand glows red and charges towards Abomasnow again.

"Fine! Abomasnow, Energy Ball!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow opens his mouth and forms a green ball of energy in front of his mouth and fires it at Rhyperior, knocking Rhyperior back and canceling his move again.

"Rhyperior, use Stone Edge!"

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Two light blue rings surround Rhyperior's body. Then, the rings disappear and two rings of glowing white rocks circle Rhyperior's body. Rhyperior's eyes then glow light blue and he fires the stones at Abomasnow.

"Abomasnow, dodge and use Ice Beam!"

"A-bo-ma!" Abomasnow moved to the side to dodge the stones. "A-bo-ma-snow!" A light blue ball forms in front of Abomasnow's mouth. He then fires light blue beams from the ball at Rhyperior.

"Rhyperior, dodge and use Dragon Pulse!"

"Rhy!" Rhyperior jumped to the side to avoid the beams. "Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior opens his mouth and a turquiose energy ball appears in front of him and fired it towards Abomasnow.

"Abomasnow, use Energy Ball!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow opens his mouth and forms a green ball of energy in front of his mouth and fires it at Rhyperior's Dragon Pulse.

"Rhyperior, Hammer Arm!"

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior's hand glows red and charges towards Abomasnow.

"Abomasnow, use Wood Hammer!"

"A-bo-ma!" The dark green part of Abomasnow's arm glows turquiose and he headed straight towards Rhyperior and slams his arm down onto Rhyperior's attacking hand.

Both Pokemon are now having a duel to overpower each other.

"A-bo-ma!" Abomasnow came out the victor as he sent Rhyperior backwards.

"Rhyperior, use Stone Edge!"

"Dodge it Abomasnow and use Ice Beam!"

"A-bo-ma!" Abomasnow jumped to his left to dodge the stones. "A-bo-ma-snow!" A light blue ball forms in front of Abomasnow's mouth. He then fires light blue beams from the ball at Rhyperior.

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior's body and legs were frozen, making him unable to move.

"Rhyperior, try to break free!"

"Rhy!" Rhyperior tried to break the ice by smashing it with his hands, but wasn't sucessful.

"Abomasnow, use Blizzard!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow fires a blizzard from his mouth at Rhyperior, freezing the rest of his body.

"Rhyperior!"

"Abomasnow, use Wood Hammer!"

"A-bo-ma!" The dark green part of Abomasnow's arm glows turquiose and he headed straight towards where Rhyperior is and slams his arm down onto Rhyperior, breaking him free from the ice in the process.

"Rhy-per-i-or!" Rhyperior flew backwards.

"Rhyperior!"

"Rhy..." Rhyperior started to stand up.

"Abomasnow, Ice Beam!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" A light blue ball forms in front of Abomasnow's mouth. He then fires light blue beams from the ball at Rhyperior.

"Dodge it Rhyperior and use Rock Wrecker!"

"Rhy!" Rhy jumped to his right to dodge the beams. "Rhhhhy... Per-i-or!" Rhyperior puts his hands together, and small chunks of gray stones come out of the holes on Rhyperior's hands and form together into a large gray rock that is outlined in red. The red outline then fades and Rhyperior throws the rock at Abomasnow.

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow was knocked back a few steps.

"Abomasnow, retailiate with Wood Hammer!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" The dark green part of Abomasnow's arm glows turquiose and charged towards the now tired Rhyperior.

"Rhy!" Rhyperior was hit and knocked to the ground.

"Finish this off with Energy Ball!"

"A-bo-ma!" Abomasnow opens his mouth and forms a green ball of energy in front of his mouth and fires it at Rhyperior, causing a small explosion with black smoke filling the air.

"Humph."

The smoke faded and revealed Rhyperior with swirls for eyes.

"Rhyperior is unable to battle! Abomasnow is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Return Rhyperior." Daniel recalled Rhyperior.

"Nice job daddy!" Sophia cheered.

"Hmmmm..." Ash was in deep thought.

"Something on your mind, Ash?" Dawn asked.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about something."

"What was it about?"

"Nothing."

Dawn knew something was on Ash's mind but decided to not press it any further.

"Magmortar, out!" Daniel tossed his next Pokeball.

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar yelled his name.

"Abomasnow, return!" Jack recalled Abomasnow. "Take a break for now." Jack pulled out his next Pokeball. "Metagross, I choose you!" Jack tossed his Pokeball.

"Me-ta-gross!" Metagross yelled its name.

"Magmortar, use Flamethrower!"

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar puts his arms in front of him and fires two red-orange blasts of fire from his arm cannons at Metagross.

"Metagross, dodge and use Psychic!"

"Me-ta!" The X on Metagross's face glows multicolored. A multicolored shadow reaches out from behind Metagross's body and covers Magmortar, hurting him.

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar fell down on the ground on one knee.

"Magmortar, use Lava Plume!"

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar causes an explosion around him, creating a mix of smog and fire to cover the area and hit Metagross with flames.

"Metagross, use Psychic to intercept!"

"Me-ta-gross!" The X on Metagross's face glows multicolored. A multicolored shadow reaches out from behind Metagross's body and the 'X' on Metagross's face glows light blue and it took control of Lava Plume.

"Throw it back towards Magmortar!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross used his Psychic power to throw the Lava Plume at Magmortar.

The attack hit Magmortar, but didn't do much of a effect as Magmortar was a fire type.

"Magmortar, use Flamethrower!"

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar puts his arms in front of him and fires two red-orange blasts of fire from his arm cannons at Metagross.

"Metagross, use Bullet Punch!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross's arms glow red and it spins on its side, dodging the flame, and attempting to hit Magmortar repeatedly with its arms.

"Magmortar, dodge and use Lava Plume!"

"Mag!" Magmortar sidestepped to avoid Metagross. "Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar causes an explosion around him, creating a mix of smog and fire to cover the area and hit Metagross with flames.

"Metagross, use Earthquake!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross jumps into the air and strikes the ground, sending shock waves throughout the battlefield.

"Magmortar, use Heat Wave!"

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar puts one of his arms in front of him and creates a ball of orange fire in his mouth. He then releases a wind of flames at Metagross from the ball.

'If this keeps up, he's going to dominate the match.' Jack thought. "Metagross, use Meteor Mash!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross's hand glows white and then a sillouette of a golden meteor appears around its hand and it went straight through Magmortar's Flamethrower.

"What? Impossible!" Daniel yelled.

"Nothing is impossible! Do it Metagross!"

"Me-ta-gross!" Metagross punched Magmortar, making a golden meteor-shaped come out of the white light on Metagross's hand.

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar was knocked to the ground.

"Metagross, use Earthquake!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross jumps into the air and strikes the ground, sending shock waves throughout the battlefield.

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar was hit again, sending him back a few feet.

"Magmortar, stand up and use Flamethrower!"

Magmortar slowly stood up.

"Earthquake again, Metagross!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross jumps into the air again and strikes the ground, sending shock waves throughout the battlefield.

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar fell to the ground.

"Meteor Mash to finish off!"

"Me-ta-gross!" Metagross's hand glows white and then a sillouette of a golden meteor appears around its hand and it went towards Magmortar.

"Magmortar, get up!"

"Now Metagross!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross punched Magmortar, making a golden meteor-shaped come out of the white light on Metagross's hand.

"Mag-mor-tar!" Magmortar screamed in pain.

"Magmortar!"

"Metagross, use Bullet Punch!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross's arms glow red and it spins on its side, hitting Magmortar repeatedly with its arms.

"Magmortar!"

Metagross kept on hitting Magmortar with no remorse.

"Stop Metagross! Enough!" Jack shouted.

Metagross stopped his attack, revealing Magmortar with swirls for eyes.

"Magmortar is unable to battle! Metagross is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Return Magmortar." Daniel recalled Magmortar.

"Return Metagross." Jack recalled Metagross. "Take a breather. You deserve it."

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Sophia cheered.

"This is getting interesting." Brock commented.

"I agree." Grace said.

"Drapion, out!" Daniel tossed his next Pokeball.

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion yelled his name.

"Dragonite, I choose you!"

"What?" The others shouted.

"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite roared.

"Kate, isn't Dragonite tired yesterday?" Sophia asked Kate.

"Dragonite was tired yesterday, but I don't know what Jack's thinking about." Kate said.

"Is he trying to make Dragonite unable to battle for the rest of the tournament?" Dawn asked worryingly.

"I think we should keep on watching the battle to see what happens next." Grace suggested.

"What the? But Dragonite's supposed to be unable to particiate this battle!" Daniel pointed out, angry and surprised to see Dragonite.

"Tsk. You definitely underestimated my Pokemons Daniel, especially Dragonite." Jack said. "Besides, that was nothing but a simple act of slight exhaustion."

"What? Are you telling me that Dragonite was barely even exhausted, even after all that battling?"

"Well, not exactly. She was tired alright, but she made a quick recovery."

"Tsk. Either way, it won't make a difference! Drapion, use Cross Poison!"

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion crosses his arms above his head and his hands and pincers start to glow purple. He jumps towards Dragonite.

"Dragonite, dodge it and use Thunderbolt!"

"Drago-nite!" Dragonite flew upwards, forcing Drapion to hit the ground. "Dra-gooooo-niiiiite!" Dragonite charges electricity in her antennae, then releases a beam of yellow electricity at Drapion from them.

"Drap-i-on!"

"Drapion, use Sludge Bomb!"

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion fires globs of brown sludge at Dragonite from his mouth.

"Dragonite, dodge it and use Aerial Ace!"

"Dra-go-nite!" Staraptor flies at Drapion, back flips in the air, then dives down at Drapion, her body becoming surrounded by white streaks.

"Take it head on and use Aqua Tail!"

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion's tail glows light blue and he spins it around, a spiral of water spiraling around his tail. He then flips around to face Dragonite.

'Excellent!' Jack thought. "Thunderbolt Dragonite!"

"Dra-gooooo-niiiiite!" Dragonite charged electricity in her antennae, and then release it onto herself.

"What the? This is the same tactic you used against Tim!" Daniel shouted.

"Exactly! And you fell for it!" Jack shouted.

"Drago-nite!"

Both Pokemons collided with each other, causing a small cloud of smoke to appear, with Dragonite flying back up after the collision.

"Drapion!"

The smoke faded away to reveal Drapion still standing.

"Drapion, use Sludge Bomb!"

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion fires globs of brown sludge at Dragonite from his mouth.

"Dragonite, dodge it and use Dragon Rush!"

"Drag!" Dragonite avoided the attack by moving to the side. "Dragoooo-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks. She charges towards Drapion.

"Drapion, dodge it!"

"Drap... I-on!"

Drapion tried to dodge it, but Dragonite was too fast as she hit Drapion head on.

"Drapion!"

Drapion was on the ground, but he was not out.

"Drapion, return!" Daniel recalled Drapion.

"Too strong for you huh, Daniel?"

"Shut up Jack! Sceptile, out!" Daniel tossed his next Pokeball.

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile shouted his name.

"Dragonite return!" Jack recalled Dragonite. "Take a rest." Jack pulled out his next Pokeball. "Abomasnow, I choose you!" Jack tossed his Pokeball.

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow yelled his name.

"Abomasnow, use Ice Beam!"

"A-bo-ma-snow!" A light blue ball forms in front of Abomasnow's mouth. He then fires light blue beams from the ball at Sceptile.

"Sceptile, dodge it and use Leaf Blade!"

"Scep!" Sceptile dodged the beams by jumping up. "Scep-ti-le!" The four leaves on Sceptile's wrists glow light green and forms into two. Sceptile then attempts to slice Abomasnow from above.

"Dodge it Abomasnow and use Blizzard!"

"A-bo-ma!" Abomasnow jumped to the side as Sceptile hit the ground. "A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow grabbed Sceptile's neck and fires a blizzard from his mouth at him, freezing Sceptile's head.

"Sceptile!"

Sceptile fell to the ground, but he was not out.

"Sceptile, use Leaf Blade!"

"Scep-ti-le!" The four leaves on Sceptile's wrists glow light green and forms into two. He first hits his head, breaking the block of ice. He then stood up and charges towards Abomasnow and slices him with his attack.

"A-bo-ma-snow!" Abomasnow was hit by the attack and he fell to the ground with swirls for eyes.

"Abomasnow is unable to battle! Sceptile is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Return Abomasnow." Jack recalled Abomasnow. "Take a nice rest. Salamence, I choose you!" Jack tossed his next Pokeball.

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence roared.

"Salamence, use Flamethrower!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamance releases a red-orange flame from her mouth at Sceptile.

"Scep..." Sceptile blinked a couple of times after the attack and let out a puff of smoke.

"Salamence, use Flamethrower again!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamance releases a red-orange flame from her mouth at Sceptile.

"Dodge it Sceptile and use Leaf Storm!"

"Scep!" Sceptile dodged the attack by moving to the side. "Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile's whole body starts to glow light-green as leaves started to appear out of nowhere. The leaves then spiral around Sceptile in a tornado-like fashion, then he points his hands at Salamence and the leaves fire at her like a cyclone.

"Salamence, take it head on with Dragon Claw!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence's claws glow white and she charges towards Sceptile's Leaf Storm.

"What the hell?"

Salamence and Leaf Storm hit each other, holding themselves in place.

"Come on Salamence, you can do it!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence broke through the Leaf Storm and headed straight towards Sceptile.

"Sceptile, dodge!"

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile was hit by Salamence's Dragon Claw.

"Sceptile!"

"Salamence, use Flamethrower!"

"Sceptile return!" Daniel quickly recalled Sceptile. 'Damn... He's impossible to beat. I can't even find a useful tactic to use against his Pokemons.'

"Trainer, please send out one of your remaining Pokemons." The referee said.

"Sorry. Drapion, come back out!" Daniel tossed his Pokeball.

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion yelled his name.

"Salamence, Dragon Claw!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence's claws glow white and she charges towards Drapion.

"Drapion, use Cross Poison!"

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion crosses his arms above his head and his hands and pincers start to glow purple. He charges towards Salamence.

The two Pokemons made contact with each other as their claws and hands/pincers hit each other, trying to overpower each other.

"Drapion, full power!"

"Salamence, come on, don't lose!"

Salamence started to overpower Drapion, but Drapion made a quick turn around as he overpowered Salamence.

"Salamence, try to use Flamethrower!"

"Sa... La... Mence!" Salamance releases a red-orange flame from her mouth at Drapion.

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion didn't move but the Flamethrower was hurting him.

"Drapion, just hang on a bit longer!"

"No use!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence's Flamethrower got bigger and hotter.

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion canceled out his Cross Poison.

"Now's your chance Salamence! Hit Drapion!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence took the opportunity and hit Drapion, full force.

"Drap-i-on!" Drapion fell to the ground with swirls for eyes.

"Drapion is unable to battle! Salamence is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Return Drapion." Daniel recalled Drapion.

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Sophia cheered.

"Floatzel! Floatzel! Floatzel!" The crowd chanted for Floatzel to be in the battle.

"Mamoswine, out!" Daniel tossed his next Pokeball.

"Ma-mo-swine!" Mamoswine yelled his name.

"Mamoswine, use Ice Beam!"

"Ma-mo!" A light blue ball forms in front of Mamoswine's mouth. He then fires light blue beams from the ball at Salamence.

"Salamence, intercept with Flamethrower!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamance releases a red-orange flame from her mouth at Mamoswine's Ice Beam, melting it.

"Mamoswine, Stone-Edge!"

"Ma-mo-swine!" Three light blue rings surround Mamoswine's body. Then, the rings glow white and form into chunks of gray stones. Finally, Mamoswine's eyes glow yellow and the stones shoot at Salamence.

"Salamence, dodge and use Draco Meteor!"

"Sa!" Salamence flew up to the skies to dodge the attack. "Saaaaa-laaaaa..." Salamence puts her wings in front of her body and then holds them out and a orange light appeared inside of her chest. The rest of her body also glows orange. She then holds up her head and a orange ball of energy appeared in front of her mouth. "Mence!" Salamence then fired the ball at the skies, which then exploded into many orbs, all aimed at Mamoswine.

"Mamoswine, intercept with Blizzard!"

"Ma-mo-swine!" Mamoswine opens his mouth and fires a blizzard from his mouth at Salamence's Draco Meteor.

"No way you're intercepting this attack! Salamence, back up Draco Meteor with Flamethrower!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamance releases a red-orange flame from her mouth at Mamoswine's Blizzard.

Salamence's Flamethrower went past Draco Meteor and melted Mamoswine's Blizzard and continued towards Mamoswine.

"Mamoswine, dodge the attacks!"

"Ma-mo!" Mamoswine jumped to the side to avoid the Flamethrower, but couldn't avoid Draco Meteor as the falling orbs hit Mamoswine, one by one, causing smoke to cover Mamoswine. "MA-MO!"

"Mamoswine!"

The smoke started to clear, and revealed Mamoswine still standing, but breathing heavily.

"Mamoswine!"

"Salamence, Dragon Claw!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence's claws glow white and she charges towards Mamoswine.

"Mamoswine, use Ice Beam!"

"Ma-mo-swine!" A light blue ball forms in front of Mamoswine's mouth. He then fires light blue beams from the ball at Salamence.

"Salamence, dodge the Ice Beam, but keep going!"

"Sa-la!" Salamence dodged the beams by moving around while still heading towards Mamoswine.

"Mamoswine, use Stone-Edge!"

"Dodge it!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence continued to dodge Mamoswine's attack and advanced towards Mamoswine.

"Mamoswine, use Blizzard!"

"Ma-mo-swine!" Mamoswine opens his mouth and fires a blizzard from his mouth at Salamence.

"Salamence, don't bother dodging anymore! Take it head on!"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence flew straight into Mamoswine's Blizzard and continued his advance.

"What the?"

"Sa-la-mence!" Salamence slashes Mamoswine with her claws.

"Ma-mo!"

"Mamoswine!"

Mamoswine fell down to the ground with swirls for eyes.

"Mamoswine is unable to battle! Salamence is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Mamoswine return." Daniel recalled Mamoswine.

Jack noticed Salamence breathing rather heavily. "Salamence, you take a nice rest." Jack recalled Salamence. Jack pulled out his next Pokeball. "Dragonite, you're up again!" Jack tossed his Pokeball.

"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite roared.

"Sceptile, out!" Daniel tossed his next Pokeball.

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile yelled his name.

"Dragonite, it's time. Don't hold back anymore." Jack said.

"Dra-go-nite." Dragonite looked at Jack and nodded.

'Don't hold back? What's that supposed to mean? Does that mean that he was only playing with his opponents all along?' Daniel thought.

"Daniel. Once Dragonite is in her zone, there's no way you'll win."

"Dra-go-nite." Dragonite looked at Sceptile with a serious expression.

"We'll see about that. Sceptile, use Leaf Blade!"

"Scep-ti-le!" The four leaves on Sceptile's wrists glow light green and forms into two. Sceptile then charges towards Dragonite.

"Dragonite, you know what to do."

"Drag." Dragonite nodded.

Sceptile sliced Dragonite, only her Dragonite to grab hold of the leaves on Sceptile's wrist.

"What the?"

"Scep? Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile attempts to slice Dragonite with his other wrist. Only for Dragonite to grab hold of it as well.

"What?"

"Dragonite, show them your strength!"

"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite threw Sceptile into the skies. "Dra-gooooo-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks. She then flew upwards to Sceptile.

"Sceptile, use Dragon Pulse!"

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile opens his mouth and a turquiose energy ball appears in front of him. He then fires the ball at Dragonite.

Dragonite slapped the ball away and continued his attack.

"Argggh... Do it again Sceptile!"

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile opens his mouth and a turquiose energy ball appears in front of him again. He then fires the ball at Dragonite.

Dragonite slapped the ball, this time, the ball was slapped towards Sceptile.

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile was hit by his own Dragon Pulse.

"Sceptile!"

"Finish it Dragonite!"

"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite smashed into Sceptile, then threw him to the ground.

"Scep-ti-le!" Sceptile was falling to the ground faster than a ton of bricks.

"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite went after Sceptile. Surprisingly, Dragonite had already reached to where Sceptile is.

"Scep!" Sceptile fell to the ground.

"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite had once again smashed into Sceptile.

"Scep... Ti-le." Sceptile had swirls for eyes.

"Sceptile is unable to battle! Dragonite is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Dragonite return." Jack recalled Dragonite. "Sorry for getting you to release your power like that in a battle."

To say that everybody was surprised wasn't right. Everybody was gobsmacked that Dragonite can be THAT powerful.

"Return Sceptile." Daniel recalled Sceptile.

"Metagross, I choose you!" Jack tossed his next Pokeball.

"Me-ta-gross!" Metagross yelled its name.

"Electivire, out!" Daniel tossed his last Pokeball.

"E-lec-ti-vi-re!" Electivire yelled his name.

"Metagross, starts things up with Bullet Punch!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross's arms glow red and it spins on its side, charging towards Electivire.

"Electivire, Fire Punch!"

"E-lec-ti-vi-re!" Both of Electivire's hand turns red. His hands then bursts into flames and he charges towards Metagross.

"Me-ta!" Metagross suddenly flew past Electivire.

"What the?"

"You know what they say..."

Metagross started to turned back around to Electivire.

"What goes around, comes around!"

Electivire turned around.

"Me-ta!" Metagross slammed into Electivire, knocking him down.

"E-lec-ti-vi-re!" Electivire yelped in pain.

"Me-ta!" Metagross repeatedly hit Electivire with Bullet Punch.

"Electivire, use Thunderbolt!"

"Eeeeee-leeeeec-tttttti-vi-rrrrrrre!" Electivire releases two bolts of lightning from the two horns on his head at Metagross.

It didn't have much of a effect on Metagross, thanks to being a part steel type.

"Metagross, switch to Meteor Mash!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross stopped his assault. "Me-ta-gross!" Metagross's hand glows white and then a sillouette of a golden meteor appears around its hand and it strike Electivire.

"Electivire, block it!"

"E-lec-ti-vi-re!" Electivire put his two hands in front of him.

"Meta!" Metagross hit Electivire's hands, causing a electical sparks to appear from Electivire's hands.

"Just hang on Electivire!"

"Metagross, come on!"

Metagross was starting to lose its strength, but it kept going with the assault.

'If this keeps up, Metagross will surely faint. I'll have to swap tactics.' "Metagross, stop your attack and use Earthquake!"

"Me-ta... Gross!" Metagross started to overpower Electivire.

"What are you doing Metagross? Stop your attack and use Earthquake!"

"Me-ta-gross!" Metagross overpowered Electivire and hit him square on the face. It jumped up, away from Electivire, and striked the ground, causing shock waves throughout the battlefield.

"E-lec-ti-vi-re!" Electivire screamed in pain.

'So that's Metagross' plan. It wants to finish its attack and then use Earthquake. Amazing. I never even thought about that before. Or rather it's stubborness.' Jack thought as he sighed.

"Electivire!"

"Alright Metagross, finish this off with another Earthquake!"

"Me-ta!" Metagross jumps into the air and strikes the ground, sending shock waves throughout the battlefield.

"E-lec-ti-vi-re!" Electivire was thrown back to a few feet and was fell to the ground.

"Electivire!"

"E... Lec... Ti... Vi... Re." Electivire tried to get up, but fell back down with swirls for eyes.

"The match is settle! Jack is the winner!" The referee announced.

The crowd went wild, but not as wild as yesterday because Floatzel wasn't in the battle.

"Daddy rules!" Sophia shouted.

"You can say that again!" Grace said.

"I wonder why Floatzel wasn't in the match?" Ash wondered.

"Float." Floatzel suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Whoa!" The group was scared to death by Floatzel.

"Floatzel, I swear. You do that again, you'll land yourself with a punch right on the face courtesy of my Lopunny." Kate threatened.

"Float-zel." Floatzel sweatdropped as he put up his hands to defence himself.

"Hey look!" Someone shouted. "It's Jack's Floatzel!"

"Float?"

Jack looked to at where everybody was staring at. "Floatzel, get out of here! You're gonna get mobbed!" Jack shouted.

"Float!" Floatzel took Jack's warning and ran off.

"Come back here Floatzel!" The crowd chased Floatzel.

"Man. Return Metagross." Jack recalled Metagross.

"Trainer." The referee said. "I'll assume that you have a substitute Pokemon in the place of your Floatzel?"

"Of course. I have a few substitute Pokemons if one of my regular Pokemons gets injured or just needs to rest." Jack explained.

"Okay. I see now."

"Return Electivire." Daniel recalled Electivire. "Jack."

"Daniel."

"Next time we meet. I will be stronger, and I will defeat you."

Jack smirked. "Okay. I'll be waiting for our next battle in the future."

Daniel nodded and walked away.

'Next time... Now, I better go save Floatzel from getting injured.' Jack ran after the crowd.

Author's final notes: Well, how do you think I did in this battle? To be honest, I think I've could've done better, but you know what they say, there's always room for improvement. By the way, does Daniel have a slight resemblance to Paul, in terms of attitude? What do you think? Anyway, this is chapter 22, and I'm signing out. See y'all week! FYI, there'll be two chapters next week for those who think I'm taking a day off, just because it's Christmas! However, it will possibly be on a Thursday... Either way, keep an eye out for it. Later!

Poll: Do you have a rival at something, e.g. in a subject, sport, game ect?

*Spoiler Alert!*

Did you know: That the new games, Pokemon Black and White, features a triple battle function? You can now battle with three Pokemon! Isn't this awesome? Of course, you'll be seeing this in the upcoming sequels.

*Spoiler End!*
