Chapter 0: The League. Again.

Time: 9:00 AM. Again.

Place: Unova League, Unova. Again.

POV: Regular. Oh yeah. Again.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, Gamefreak or Nintendo. I guess I do own Xavier.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!

Xavier, soon-to-be champion master of Unova, pushed the off button on his alarm clock. He got up and out of bed and opened a Pokeball. A Victini popped out.

""Hi, X!"" It said in Pokemon speech. Xavier said hello back (Xavier has the talent to understand and speak in Pokemon). SMA_H (His Victini) used Psychic to float on to Xavier's shoulder. "Well, the day is finally here," Xavier said. "The day I get to challenge the current Unova league champion."

""Do you think you can do it?"" said SMA_H.

"Yes, I do. But only if you perfect your special V-Generate attack, so let's practice."

(SMA_H then perfected his ultimate attack. It took him three hours of intense training, though)

Time: 12:00 PM. Xavier was now at the Champion's battlefield after some training.

The champion said, "Hello. I am Alder. Don't think that I'm going to go easy on you. I have a title to defend and I'm going to keep."

"""No way! We're going to win this battle!"""" said SMA_H and Xavier in unison.

"Okay then. Let's get started. Go! Bouffa-"

FLASH!

A white light showered Xavier and SMA_H. They started dematerializing. Then they were gone.

"-launt. Hmm. Freaky. I guess I keep my title. For now."

An unknown person started coming in through the door.

"Huh? Who's that?" said the Champion Master of Unova.

"I am-"

DON'T END CHAPTER!

"-Xavier. Xavier Idex! Don't you recognise me?"

"Um, yeah. But how the hell did you change clothes, dye part of your hair, and teleport backwards, all at the same time?

Xavier shrugged. "It's a really, really long story. Now are we gonna battle, or what?"

Yeah. Xavier was still ready to go for it after about a rough couple of weeks in a different dimension.

"Um, sure. Anyway, I have Bouffalant. What do you choose?"

"I choose Throh!" Xavier, who now had Pokemon from both of his halves, threw out a Pokeball. The squat fighting Pokemon came out. ""Hwraaaargh! Who do I get to beat up today, a Bouffalant? Weak!""

"Throh, use Circle Throw!"

""Clobberin' Time!""

"If that is the move you chose after serious consideration, that's fine! Bouffalant, Stone Edge!"

Throh ran towards the Bouffalant, ready to throw it across the battlefield, but Bouffalant countered by summoning and throwing five large, sharp rocks.

"Throw them back!"

""Hmmph…"" Throh used Circle Throw to grab two of the rocks and throw them towards the others, destroying all but one. Throh caught the final stone and started beating Bouffalant with it. ""OW! OW! OW! QUIT IT, YOU PEST!""

"Bouffalant, stop him with Head Charge!"

""Ugh!"" Throh was pinned to Bouffalant's head as it charged straight through several large boulders.

"Now finish it with Megahorn!"

"Grab the horns! Superpower, then Seismic Toss!"

"Oh, no!"

""Ha!"" Throh grabbed a surprised Bouffalant by the horns, picked him up, slammed him against the ground three times, and threw him high in the air. Bouffalant started to fall.

"Align yourself! Use Earthquake when you get down!"

"Oh, no you don't! GIGA IMPACT!"

Bouffalant landed with some pain, making the whole stadium rumble. It rumbled even more as Earthquake was activated. But Throh skimmed just above the ground, hitting Bouffalant with a powerful Giga Impact. Bouffalant was knocked out.

"Return, Bouffalant. Well played, Xavier Idex. I'll have to kick it up a notch! Accelgor, go!

"A bug-type! Return, Throh! Go, Blazerazer! I need you!"

An powerful Infernape flew out of the Pokeball, materializing near Accelgor.

""Ready to crush the opposition, X! What move should I destroy them with first?""

"Try a Blaz-"

"Me First!"

"-ze Kick?"

The Infernape leapt towards Accelgor, but the bug-type sprouted a large, flaming foot and kicked the attacking Pokemon away. Xavier's Pokemon suffered significant damage, as Me First returns an attack at 150% power.

"Interesting attack. Activate Iron Fist and try a Mach Punch!"

"Me First again!"

Blazerazer swung with all his power at the defending Pokemon, but once again, Accelgor dodged, then copied Infernape's attack perfectly, blasting Infernape back. Infernape lay unmoving on the ground, having been damaged by a combined 225% power Mach Punch.

Man, how am I gonna beat that Me First attack? Xavier thought. Wait! I know… Aura!

"Very good, Accelgor. Finish it with Focus Blast!"

Accelgor got close to Infernape, charging a Focus Blast. But suddenly, without warning, Infernape jumped up, caught fire, and-

""Oh, snap.""

-Flare Blitzed right into his target. Neither Accelgor nor Alder had heard the call for attack, so they hadn't activated Me First. But Blazerazer had, through aura. Accelgor burned as he flew backward into the air, KO'ed from the super-effective hit. Alder returned him. But what neither of the trainers had seen was that Infernape had gotten hurt by Focus Blast after all.

Alder smiled. "This is turning out to be a very good battle! But how did you command your Infernape without speaking?"

Xavier smirked. "One word. Aura."

"Aura? Now I have to battle an Aura Guardian?" Alder said. "Well, that's a surprise. And so, for my third Pokemon, I choose Druddigon!"

""Say goodbye! HWRAARGH!"" The dragon Pokemon roared.

""Oh, yeah?"" Blazerazer replied. ""On second thought… Owwwwww!"" The Infernape sparked and fell over as he suffered recoil damage from Flare Blitz.

"Can you stay in, Blazer?"

""Y-yeah. I'm good for now."" Infernape got back up and into a fighting stance.

"In that case, use Mach Punch, rapid-fire!"

"Block it!"

The slightly tired Infernape pummeled Druddigon, but the large dragon just crossed his arms and blocked every punch. ""Ha! Tiny monkey will never defeat Druddigon! Hwra!""

""That's what you think…"" The fiery primate Pokemon kept going, but he was becoming exausted.

"Now, defeat Infernape with Night Slash!" Alder commanded.

""Ugh, no!"" Xavier's Pokemon was thrown back by Druddigon's power-filled claws.

"This isn't working! Take a good rest, Blazerazer!" Xavier's Pokeballl shot a red beam towards Blazerazer, returning him just in time.

"A wise choice, Xavier. What now?" Alder asked.

"Now? Now I choose you, Tronikus!"

A PorygonZ popped out of the Pokeball. ""011 0000 01 1 100 111 1011 001 111 011 01 10 1 11 0 1 111 100 001100"" It asked in the series of beeps that was Computer Pokemon Speech. (A 1 symbolizes a long, low tone, a zero symbolizes a shorter, higher-pitched tone.)

"How about a Thunderbolt?" Xavier responded.

The electronic Pokemon shot a beam of lightning, hitting Druddigon, who was unable to dodge due to his low speed power.

"Hmm, VERY wise choice, Xavier! But you can't beat Payback!" Alder yelled.

""Hwrah!"" Druddigon was surrounded by a ring of energy, which quickly shot towards Tronikus, hitting it with a power level of 100.

""00 01 11 0000 001 010 1 010101"" Tronikus stated blandly.

"Sorry, Tronikus. Now activate Adaptability and hit 'em with a Tri Attack!"

Three spheres, red, blue, and yellow, appeared around the floating Pokemon and flew towards Druddigon. The Dragon Pokemon doged the red and blue attacks, but was hit by the yellow. As well as doing great damage, Druddigon seemed to spark with electricity. The paralysis actually stuck, something that Alder did not notice.

"Druddigon, use Superpower!" Alder commanded.

Nothing happened.

"What? Use Outrage instead!"

Tronikus braced for impact, but nothing came. Xavier took this opportunity to attack.

"Ha! Thunderbolt again!"

""Nooooo!"" Druddigon became paralyzed even more as his HP drained severely from the electric attack.

"And finish it with Hyper Beam!"

""1000 1011 0 010101"" Tronikus sucked energy from the universe as it created an orange sphere of power, which shot a huge beam at Druddigon.

"Outrage! Try again!"

Druddigon spun around, no longer paralyzed, trying to start a raging Outrage attack, but the Hyper Beam hit first, causing an explosion.

The dust clears…

"Return, Druddigon. You did well." Alder returned a defeated Druddigon. "Well, well, well. You'd be surprised by the number of trainers who have already been defeated at this point. 50 percent, actually. Of course, another 25 percent get defeated by this Pokemon! Vanilluxe, go!"

An Ice-type Pokemon with two faces came out of one of the Pokeballs Alder wore around his neck. ""Hmm, you won't defeat me, hmm?""

"Return, Tronikus. Take a good rest. Time to do this thing! Go, Victini!"

Victini jumped off of Xavier's shoulder, ready to fight. ""Awww, you are so going down!""

"Start it all off with Searing Shot!"

""Oh, yeaaaah!"" A ball of fire, summoned from Victini/SMA_H/Avieros, flew at top speed towards Vanilluxe, hitting its mark before either Alder or his ice-type could do anything. Vanilluxe was Burned as well.

"Very good, Xavier and Victini. I should have expected more from your partner Pokemon. But you still won't win. Blizzard!"

Blizzard flew towards Victini, who stood there and took it like it was nothing. Indeed, no damage seemed to have been done. Vanilluxe, on the other hand, suffered Burn damage.

"What? I knew that Blizzard was not going to be effective, but… this is much more!" Alder was shocked at the extremely heightened resistant powers of Victini. "Try a Flash Cannon!"

"Focus all of your energy into one point and then use Fusion Bolt!"

"Light Screen!"

Victini waited, then, out of his finger, shot an extremely thin but powerful beam of electricity towards the oncoming Flash Cannon, blowing it apart and still plowing through unaffected. Alder had anticipated this, hence the Light Screen. But because of Burn damage, Vanilluxe faltered, and the oncoming attack hit so hard Vanilluxe was blasted right out of the battlefield, Alder returning it just before it flew completely away. Xavier 4, Alder 0.

"Wow, Xavier. Not one Pokemon of yours has been defeated, and here I am throwing out one of my strongest and final Pokemon! Go, Excavalier!"

""Hmph. Say your goodbyes, Xavier-person. 'Cause you're GOING DOWN!"" Excavalier spun his drill-arms, showing off.

"Return, Victini. I don't want this to be too easy. Go, Throh!"

Throh came out once more, and, overconfident, immediately started running towards Excavalier.

"Superpower!"

"X-Scissor, Excavalier!"

Excavalier waited, and then, when Throh yanked a boulder out of the ground and threw it at him, he sliced it in four neat pieces with his drill arms. But he didn't see Throh running right behind the rock. Throh grabbed onto Excavalier's head.

"Now, use Seismic Toss!" Xavier commanded.

"Thank you!" Alder said confidently.

"What?"

Throh threw Excavalier high into the air.

"Now, Aerial Ace!" Alder commanded with confidence.

"Oh, yeah? Superpower again!"

Excavalier, surrounded by white power beams, maneuvered through the air at lighning speed, smashing through the boulder that Throh threw and heading towards Throh himself.

"Counter with Giga Impact!" Xavier yelled in a last-ditch effort.

"Oh, no you don't! You do Giga Impact too!"

Throh tried to do Giga Impact, but was pinned to the ground by the pieces of the boulder that Excavalier had smashed. The flying bug-and-steel type flew straight down and smashed into the boulder pile, crushing all the rocks to dust and making a small crater. Throh, pinned between Excavalier and the ground, slowly lost HP until he fainted.

""Aw, man. I think I broke my brain…"" Throh was recalled by Xavier's Pokeball. "My first loss… It wasn't your fault, Throh." Xavier looked up to Alder. "Well, I guess I'm down one Pokemon. I'll just end this with Frozei!"

A Cryogonal came out of Xavier's Pokeball.

"Now, use Sheer Cold!"

The temperature quickly started to drop.

"Trying to end this in one move, eh? No you don't! Use Iron Head!"

Excavalier zoomed towards Frozei and hit it with a full power Iron Head, which the Cryogonal was weak to. KO.

"No! Frozei! Return. Well, it was just an easy-way-out strategy… I guess it's time for a fire type to melt you down! Blazerazer, go!"

""I'm rested and ready to kick your butt!"" The fire monkey screeched.

"And we're off! Use Flamethrower!"

"Power through with Iron Head!"

The Infernape blew copious amounts of fire at Excavalier, who just blocked it and at the same time rammed into his target with Iron Head, pushing Infernape back several feet.

"Blast him away with a Mach Punch!" Xavier commanded his Pokemon.

"Block! X-Scissor!"

Blazerazer's fist of fury was blocked by Excavalier's X-Scissor. The situation was turning into a competition of who would give in first. Excavalier was starting to overpower Infernape, when…

Let him win, Blaze. Then Blaze Kick! Trust me. Xavier was trying to communicate with Aura again. His Infernape was so focused on his task, he barely heard Xavier. But he did.

Infernape held back, letting Excavalier stop his Mach Punch, but before the steely Pokemon could strike him, he kicked him high in the air, Burning him at the same time.

"Interesting move, Xavier. Very good. But you have made the same mistake! AERIAL ACE, GO!"

"Not this time! Nonstop Flamethrower!"

Blazerazer shot endless amounts of white-hot flame at Excavalier, but the bug-and-steel type kept going, switching to Giga Impact on his trainer's command. Excavalier was now growing ever-closer to Blazerazer, about to overtake him.

"Stop Flamethrower, then Double Flare Punch Combo Move!"

"What?"

Infernape stopped Flamethrower, then, in the fraction of a second before Excavalier hit, his fists glowed, and his whole body became coated in blue flame from Flare Blitz. He punched… And an enormous explosion ensued.

BOOM.

Flame, dust, and rocks flew everywhere, narrowly missing Xavier and Alder themselves. And when the dust cleared, it was clear that both Pokemon were

Defeated. They were both lying down, not moving, and both trainers recalled their Pokemon.

"Return, Blazerazer."

"Return, Excavalier. How did that happen?"

"I'll tell you. It was my plan to trick you, lure you in, then activate my plan. I superheated your Excavalier's steel skin to red-hot, and my plan was to then add friction with Flare Punch, create a spark, and-"

"-Create an explosion."

"Yes. And it worked! It was a suicide move, but the only way I could beat Excavalier without another of my Pokemon taking damage."

Alder smiled. "Woo! Your inexhuastable fighting spirit! Impressive! Of course, you still won't win. You should know that only five percent of the trainers that face me make it past Excavalier. But none have defeated my final Pokemon. Of course, you are very powerful, and in addition, both you and your Pokemon are intelligent in the highest degree. You certainly deserve to be a champion." Alder smirked. "Go, my final Pokemon!"

Alder released a Pokeball from his necklace. A moth, bug and fire type, with six orange wings flew out. Volcarona.

"A Volcarona! Hmm, let's try Tronikus!"

Xavier's PorygonZ came out again. ""011 0000 01 1 100 111 1011 001 111 011 01 10 1 11 0 1 111 100 001100""

"Now, use Tri Attack!"

"No way! Use Hyper Beam!"

Tronikus's Tri Attack was vanquished by the enourmous Hyper Beam that lanced through the air and hit Tronikus dead-on.

"00 10 11 1 00 010 0 100 010101" The electronic Pokemon fainted.

"Tronikus!" Xavier returned his Pokemon. "Impressive."

"Don't you think? And sadly, I don't think that even Victini can beat Volcarona."

"Maybe not. Not without help."

"Help? Victini is your last Pokemon!"

"No, it's not. I can use six Pokemon. Throh, Blazerazer, Frozei, and Tronikus have been defeated. Add Victini, and that's still only FIVE. I have another Pokemon, one that I haven't used yet. I didn't want to have to do this… Go! Bartimaea!"

The Pokeball opened… And all twenty-three feet of the mighty Sky High Pokemon, Rayquaza flew out. She let out a terrifying screech, blowing Volcarona backwards into Alder.

'Aaaaaaah! It's good to be out of the Pokeball so I can stretch out!' Rayquaza psychically spoke in a powerful feminine voice. She saw Alder and swooped down to investigate. 'Who are you?'

"I… I… I…"

'Just kidding, I know who you are, Alder.' The huge Pokemon looked at Xavier. 'So, Oh powerful master, what could possibly cross your path to make you actually use me in battle?'

"That Volcarona."

'That thing? OH, fine.'

"Let's start with Extremespeed!"

"Um… Bug Buzz!"

Volcarona let out a terrible noise, but since Bartimaea was zooming around at top speed, she didn't hear anything. The dragoness Pokemon slammed into a very confused Volcarona, damaging the seemingly unbeatable Pokemon.

"What was that?" Alder was stunned at this ridiculously overkill display of pure speed. "Try a Quiver Dance!"

"Use Thunder!"

All traces of an attack from Volcarona were erased as Bartimaea shot a beam of power into the sky - and a miniature thunderstorm formed over the fire moth, hitting it with thunderbolt after thunderbolt.

"Break away, Volcarona! Spin!"

Volcarona used its incredible flying powers to spin at hyperfast speeds, dissolving the thundercloud.

"Good! Now, Hyper Beam!"

"You know what to do!"

"Hm?"

Volcarona gathered energy - then stopped. Bartimaea was staring him down with a supercharged Scary Face attack, so powerful that Volcarona seemed to be moving in extreme slow-motion.

"What is this? How... Why..."

"Hyper Beam, rapid fire!"

"Oh, no."

Bartimaea shot endless power blasts at the defenseless Volcarona, continuing her onslaught until she could do no more. She rested, feeling the aftereffects of Hyper Beam.

"Now's your chance, Volcarona! Use Hyper Beam!" Alder commanded.

"Dodge! Use OUTRAGE!"

"A fifth attack! Impossible!"

"Possible!"

Volcarona, now at regular speed, used Hyper Beam, but at the last second, Bartimaea dodged and glowed red, crashing into Volcarona. The green dragon smashed again and again into the bug and fire type unforgivingly.

"Am I being overpowered? This is nothing! I will overpower you!" Alder shouted. "Use your ability, Volcarona!

And suddenly, Bartimaea was engulfed in flame.

"What happened?" Xavier was confused.

"Flame Body. The ability of my Volcarona. You just got burned. Literally. Now, hit that dragon with an OVERHEAT!"

"NO!"

Volcarona showered the dragon Pokemon with more and more flame, draining her HP rapidly. Bartimaea could not hear her trainer's commands due to a combination of extreme agony and confusion caused by Outrage.

Finally, Xavier gave up. "I declare a Technical Knock-out on my Rayquaza! Please cease attacking."

"Very well." Volcarona stopped attacking, revealing a severely burnt Rayquaza.

Xavier returned his Pokemon. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you to use Outrage. Please rest." Xavier looked up at Alder. "Well, I guess that's it for that. Time for my final choice. Victini, go!"

And once again, the fire and psychic type jumped out to battle. ""Still think we can win, Xavier?""

Xavier considered. "Yes. We can win. Trust me."

"Will you attack first, Xavier?"

"No. Please go first."

"As you wish. Volcarona, use Bug Buzz!"

"Just stand there!"

"Wha?"

Volcarona tried to emit noise - but it seemed that because of Overheat, Volcarona's special attack power was extremely low, and nothing happened.

"Oh, no! Volcarona, try again!" Alder shouted, realizing his mistake.

"Oh, YES! Use Fusion Bolt!"

Victini shot a bolt of electricity and fire into the low-powered Pokemon, and it hit, with devastating effects. Volcarona fell to the ground, to weak to even fly.

"Get up, Volcarona! Please!"

And Volcarona did get up, still not defeated.

""Seriously? You still aren't defeated? Well, then have a taste of my ZEN HEADBUTT!"" Victini glowed blue and zoomed towards Volcarona.

"Volcarona, use Hyper Defend!"

"What the heck is that!" Xavier yelled in confusion.

"You'll see."

Volcarona seemed to summon a yellow-orange plate of energy out of thin air. Victini ran into it - and bounced right off. ""Ow, that kinda hurt.""

"Was that-"

"An adaption of Hyper Beam as a defensive move? Yes. And every time you hit it, it does a little bit of damage. Now hit me with your best shot!"

"Try Searing Shot!"

The red hot fireball of Searing Shot bounced right off of the Hyper Beam shield, hitting its creator.

"Dang it! I was hoping that a special attack would work. Oh, well. Time for my final strategy. Just do what I tell you using Aura!"

"Get ready for an attack, Volcarona!"

Victini walked casually up to Volcarona. ""Hey, wimp.""

""Wimp? Who are you calling wimp?"" The Volcarona responded.

""Um, you. Hiding behind that shield. How are you gonna activate your ability like that? Besides, I bet it wouldn't even work if I hit you full-on with Zen Headbutt.""

""Wanna try it?"" Volcarona said confidently. "If I'm right, you have to attack yourself three times."

""What if I'm right?""

""Then I'll surrender the battle.""

""I accept. Now get that shield of yours down.""

""OK."" Volcarona de-activated the shield. ""Okay, I'm ready,"" he said.

""Good. Hya!"" Victini slammed into Volcarona, who suffered some minor damage. Victini was engulfed in flame as he was Burnt.

""Ha! I told ya it would work! Now you have to attack yourself!""

""Okay."" Victini punched himself lightly three times. ""Okay, I did it!""

""Hey, that wasn't a real attack!"" Volcarona objected.

""Yes, it was. And what are you gonna do about it anyway?""

""Attack you myself!"" Volcarona tried to charge at Victini, but couldn't move. He was frozen, feeling the aftereffects of Hyper Shield.

""Aah! I've been tricked!""

""Yes, you have,"" Victini said as he created a huge, blue, fiery V in the air. ""And now I win.""

He threw the V-Generate.

And the title of Champion of Unova was decided.

Because when the ensuing fireball dissipated...

Only one Pokemon was still standing.

"Return, Volcarona."

And that Pokemon was Victini.

Victini jumped up onto a very tired Xavier's shoulder. ""Hey, man,"" he whispered in Xavier's ear. ""We won.""

Xavier finally registered the fact that he had won the long, drawn-out battle. "We... We won? We WON! HA HA, WE WON THE UNOVA LEAGUE!" Xavier started singing We are the Champions in his perfect voice. "Weeeeeeeee are the Champions, my frie-ends, yeaaaaah!"

"Yes, you are." Alder smiled. "And to be honest, it's actually a relief. I can retire now. And It's good to see someone younger get to be Champion for once. And you deserve it, maybe even more than I did. And I just want to say, well done! You certainly are an unmatched talent. Come with me. To the Hall of Fame!"

Xavier followed Alder into the chamber where he would be officialy inducted into the Hall of Fame and would gain the title of Champion. He was happy, but he couldn't stop thinking that he wished that Amanda and Three were here to see this. Especially Amanda.
