Chapter 25:6v6: Kyle vs Iris
Iris and Kyle both walked up to their opposite sides of the field, without saying a word. The news of their fight and the tension behind it had spread like wildfire. Everyone was ready for this, especially the 2 trainers.
Iris had trained her newest pokemon from Delgado to help destroy Kyle. Kyle on the other hand had the faith in his pokemon that they could win. Both were confident they could beat each other.
The announcer sounded ready, as he addressed the crowd "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first round of the semifinals!". At this the crowd cheered as they couldn't wait for this battle to win.
"This is a 6v6 battle between Kyle and Iris" the announcer exclaimed outloud "When all of one trainer's pokemon are unable to battle, the battle will end. Substitutions are allowed. Trainers do you agree to these terms?".
Iris and Kyle stared at each other, intensely as they answered with a "yeah". The announcer nodded at the answer, "Very well! Let the battle begin!"
Kyle:
The crowd cheered as Kyle drew his first pokeball "Let's do this!" he told the pokemon within the pokeball.
"Okay, Dewott! Let's go!" Kyle called to his unova type starter. Dewott came out with a smile on his face and started waving to the people in the audience, and the crowd was eating it up.
Iris on the other hand laughed "So you have a unova type starter? That's good!" she paused "But I'll show you power!". Iris pulled a pokemon from behind her back "Alright Emolga, show him who's the best!".
Similar to Dewott, Emolga came out smiling and the crowd seemed to think she was just as cute as Dewott.
The ref spoke again "Battle Begin"
Iris made the first move "Emolga use Swift!". Emolga did a front flip and fired stars at Dewott.
"Dewott, cut the stars in half with your shells!" Kyle ordered the Unova pokemon. Dewott cut all the stars in half.
"Not bad" Iris commented "Emolga use Thundershock and fry dewott". Kyle grit his teeth "Dewott, hold back the thunderstrike with your shells and then cut through with razor shell!".
As Emolga fired the thundershock at Dewott, Dewott was able to block it again with incredible speed and cut through it with little strain.
"Swift now!" Iris ordered, catching Kyle off balance. Dewott was hit in multiple spots, not hurting majorly but enough to get his attention.
"Emolga get in close, now" Iris followed up with another attack. "Dewott counter it with aqua jet!" Kyle said.
Dewott and Emolga flew into each other, neither giving an inch as they battle for control.
"Now Emolga, Discharge!!" Iris called as Emolga let out the electric type move. Dewott was thrown back and landed with a bit of electrical energy surrounding him.
"That's not good" Kyle said outloud to himself as he saw Dewott had gotten paralysed.
Iris smiled "Now Emolga use Pursuit" Emolga came forward and followed Dewott who was trying to scoot away from Emolga.
"Emolga!" Emolga cried as she sent back Dewott. Dewott landed with a hard crack. "Dewott" Kyle called out in concern.
"Dew ott" Dewott said as he climbed to his feet. "Dewott, we can't keep charging in at them without a plan" he told the unova starter.
"So get back in there and use aqua jet again" he commanded. Dewott's aqua jet was sent in with extra speed. "Emolga Swift!!" Iris yelled.
Iris had probably expected the swift to take down the aqua jet... it did not. The Aqua Jet destroyed the swift and even hitting Emolga.
"Don't let up, Dewott! Use Razor Shell!" Kyle said. Iris growled "Don't let them have a chance, Emolga! Use Swift and knock his shells away from him!".
Emolga fired swift again to try and knock Dewott's shells out of his hands, but Dewott sliced them all and hit Emolga 3 times before landing back on the ground.
Kyle wasn't done yet "Use Hydropump!" Dewott used as he focused in on Emolga and blasted her with his powerful water type move, as she yelled in pain.
Emolga landed and Dewott jumped in with another Aqua Jet, but Iris wasn't done either "Discharge!" she called.
"Dewott watch out!" Kyle called out in distress. Dewott could not move and was once again hit back by the super effective move.
Dewott was on his knees and looked ready to faint, but Kyle was determined to defeat Iris with his plan. "Dewott, Use Aqua Jet one more time!".
"Not this time!" Iris snickered "Emolga Attract!". "Oh shit" Kyle yelled as he realised this would be a big problem. "Dodge it Dewott and continue in with Aqua Jet!".
Dewott dodged the hearts that kept flying at him, miraculously and headed straight for Emolga.
They both called out a move that they thought would decide it "Hydropump/Discharge!!!".
The moves clashed for a moment, but the effectiveness of discharge eventually overwhelmed Hydropump and knocked Dewott to the ground.
Dewott landed in near unconsciousness was about to. Emolga picked up Dewott and held him by his neck in the air, then tossed him down again, much to Iris's pleasure.
"Any words for your Dewott, before Emolga destroys him?" She smiled in triumphant.
"Yeah actually" Kyle smiled "Use Retaliate!". Dewott came alive and smashed Emolga with everything he had felt during the battle.
Dewott ran forward and jumped with his dual shells in hand as he sliced Emolga across the waist.
The attack caused Emolga to fall over, "Emolga hold on!" Iris saw as the electric pokemon tried to hold on.
"Emolga" Emolga stood for a time and glared at Dewott who looked simultaneously looked ready to pass out.
They both stared and then...
Both fell over. The first battle of the round was a draw.
The crowd cheered loudly for the first battle of the round. They were already excited and they were already to see more intense fights.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle" The announcer announced "It is a tie. Trainers send out your next pokemon!!".
Iris stared at Emolga for awhile, then after a minute or so recalled her. "Thanks Emolga, you did great" she told her electric type pokemon.
Kyle had already recalled Dewott, praising him greatly for his efforts. He saw Iris pulling out her next pokeball as she began to speak. "You got lucky with a tie" she told Kyle "This time you won't be so lucky. Excadrill, let's go!!".
"Ca Drill!" Excadrill exclaimed as he jumped out of the pokeball and got into a battle stance.
"So you're using your Excadrill?" Kyle asked Iris "Thought you might go with him next". Kyle then pulled out a pokeball "I came prepared, Sawk let's go!!"
"Sawk!" Sawk exclaimed as he came out in a front flip as he landed in a battle stance of his own.
Iris looked taken about "You have a pokemon from Unova?" she asked. Kyle looked her in the eyes "You aren't the only person to have pokemon from other regions" he said, referring to Iris's Dragonite and Garchomp.
Iris just smiled arrogantly "Well, it doesn't matter! Excadrill use X-Scissor!". Excadrill crossed his arms and jumped at Sawk.
"Sawk, dodge and use Cross Chop!" Kyle commanded as Sawk jumped up and dodged Excadrill while delivering a super effective cross chop.
Excadrill fell to the ground but got back up. "Dig" Iris told Excadrill as he drilled below the surface.
"Sawk, use Swords Dance" Kyle said, preparing for an attack. The dig came out of the ground flying full throtle, leaving no time for Sawk to dodge as he was thrown backwards.
"Sawk are you okay?" Kyle asked as Sawk nodded. "Great. Now use Low Sweep and get Excadrill off balance" Kyle ordered.
"Excadrill use Rock Throw and crush Sawk's ankles!" Iris grinned miniacally. "No Sawk! Use Focus Blast!" Kyle cried as Sawk barely managed to fire the fighting type move, sending Excadrill flying back.
Iris made a face "You really are a kid, trying to prevent the innevitable. Excadrill crush Sawk's ankles now!!!".
"Sawk, Focus Blast!" Kyle cried desperately again. Sawk managed to fire another focus blast but it was dodged by Excadrill as he crushed his one ankle.
"Saaaaaaa!!!" Sawk screamed in agony at the intense pain. Excadrill brought up another rock ready to crush the other ankle when Kyle called out "Low Sweep!".
The sudden movement made Excadrill fall on his face as well as the boulder falling on his body as well.
"You're injured, Sawk!" Kyle told his fighting type mon "Let's end this quickly and try not to drag it out! Use Close Combat!".
Sawk charged forward with great dificulty as he struggled to run up to Excadrill. Iris looked at Kyle with a look "Sawk can't battle. Forfeit Sawk now or he'll face a lot more losing his ankle".
"Never!" Kyle clenced his fist. "Suit yourself" Iris told him. "Rock Throw, over and over" Iris said apathetically.
As Sawk got within 5 feet of Excadrill he was hit with a rock, then 2 rocks, then 3 rocks, then 4 rocks, until Sawk was getting pelted so fast he couldn't tell how many rocks were hitting him.
Kyle saw that Sawk wasn't giving up as he continued through the barrage of rocks. Iris saw this as well "He's a fighter". "Yeah, he is" Kyle smiled.
"Too bad. Earthquake!" Iris said as Sawk was shaken around like a ragdoll. "Sawk!" Sawk yelled as he was shaken. The floor cracked and Sawk fell through a crack.
"You ready to give up yet?" She taunted Kyle. "Not yet. Not until we win" Kyle told her.
Iris laughed "Yeah, well it's hard to do that when your pokemon is underground".
Kyle started to think she was right. Sawk was probably out cold and even if Sawk could keep going he would be in no condition to keep going.
Kyle sighed in defeat as he looked down. Then he saw it! For a split second... he saw the ground shake!
He looked back up at Iris "You're right Iris!", he told her which stopped her from laughing. "Sawk is underground!" he exclaimed which led to her reaction "What?".
"But we can change that" he grinned "Sawk, I know you can hear me! Use Close Combat to get out of the ground!".
The ground started to shake until it broke apart at the surface revealing the still consious Sawk.
"No way!" Iris yelled "Excadrill finish this with Rock Slide!!". "Sawk get there before the rock slide hits! Use Close Combat!".
Sawk charged forward as boulders started falling from the sky getting ready to pelt Sawk.
Sawk kept charging and got within 2 yards of Excadrill before getting hit by 3 boulders.
"Saaaaa" Sawk cried out as he got pelted. But Sawk kept charging through until he was brought to his knees by boulders.
"Come on Sawk! You cam finish this!" Kyle called out with support. Sawk stood once again and charged straight into Excadrill, who was to suprised to move.
Sawk created a dustcloud that prevented anyone from seeing in but everyone could hear the punches from hear. Iris could do nothing but shield her eyes and call out Excadrill's name.
Finally, the dust cloud settled and showed the results of the battle. The referee stepped up to announce the results.
"Excadrill is unable to battle, so the winner is Excadrill! Iris you may send out your next pokemon and Kyle you may return Excadrill, if you need to".
"I think I'll stick with Sawk" Kyle told the ref, as Sawk roared with approval.
Iris recalled back Excadrill into his pokeball and smiled at it "Thanks Excadrill, you did your best!". She then looked up and glared down the field at Kyle.
"You got lucky! But this time you won't!" She yelled across the field "Axew Let's go!".
Axew jumped out of the pokeball and landed on the field with a "Axew ew ew". "Let the battle resume!" the referee announced
"Axew use Aerial Ace!" Iris commanded as Axew ran forward and jumped in the air. Sawk barely moved out of the way in time.
"Sawk use Cross Chop" Kyle commanded as Sawk ran up to Axew and landed a hit right on Axew's jaw.
"Axew, don't let that weak fighting type push you around. Use Aerial Ace again!" Iris told her partner.
"Dodge it!" Kyle called out to Sawk, but Sawk was to weak to move as Axew landed a super effective move on Sawk.
Sawk landed on his back, unconsious. "Sawk is unable to battle. Axew is the winner. Kyle, please send out your next pokemon!" the referee announced.
The crowd cheered as the battle was getting more excited as they watched. It was better than anyone thought it would be.
Kyle brought out his third pokeball "Alright, Minccino! Let's go!". Minccino came out with a "Cino Cino" and landed on the ground.
Iris looked at Minccino "So this is the Minccino that beat a Dusknoir?". Kyle looked at Minccino as minccino looked at the audience and waved, "Yeah, Minccino may not look like much but he is a pokemon that can come in handy in a tight spot".
"We shall see" She said. "Axew use Poison Jab!" She commanded as Axew jumped forward with 2 fingers, ready to jab Minccino in the stomach.
"Minccino jump back and use swift!" Kyle countered, as Minccino followed the orders as he jumped back and fired the swift hitting Axew back.
"Axew, Rock Tomb!" Iris called as Rocks came up from the ground and hit Minccino up into the air. "Cino!!" Minccino cried in pain as he received a direct hit.
Kyle gritted his teeth"Minccino use Double Slap!". Minccino charged back in and hit Axew with back to back attacks with Double Slap.
"Axew hit them back with Dual Chop!" Iris called; and just as Minccino was about to hit Axew again, Axew hit it back and whacked Minccino back into the side wall.
"Minccino!" Kyle called out to the normal type pokemon. Minccino picked himself out of the crater in the wall however, and barelled into Axew using tackle.
"Awesome Minccino! Now use Swift, close range!" Kyle ordered. "Use Rock Tomb to defend yourself from the swift, Axew!" Iris called out. But it was far to late for Axew to defend himself, as the tackle made him flinch and the swift hit him back.
"Axew, Aerial Ace" Axew jumped back in and dealt multiple kicks into Minccino's gut and sent him back.
"Axew, Dual Chop!" Iria called as Axew jumped in to deal another blow to Minccino.
"Minccino, use Swift, close range again!" Kyle called out, just in time to stop Axew's attack.
Iris looked across the field "You know, Minccino's not bad". Kyle looked at Axew "Same with Axew". "Oh well, Axew Dragon Claw!
"Minccino move!" Kyle called out as he realised this was a problem for him. However, Axew was to fast and knocked Minccino into the ground with great speed.
"Minccino use Swift again!" Kyle ordered his normal type. "Axew, block it again with Rock Tomb!".
"Dang it!" Kyle thought "How am I supposed to attack when she keep uses Rock Tomb as a shield?"
"Minccino" Kyle called as he came up with a plan "Use Double Slapon the ground!".
Minccino complied with the order and beat the ground causing the ground to break in his area.
"You idiot!" Iris laughed "You just took out your own pokemon!". Kyle smiled slightly "Did I?".
All of a sudden, Hundreds of Stars broke from underneath the ground. The stars came from all over and mercilessly attacked Axew.
"Axew!" Iris cried out. "Can't use Rock Tomb when Swift comes from underneath the ground, can you?!" Kyle laughed.
The stars created a small explosion, Axew still stood, but with great strain. Minccino popped up and was damaged as well. Both looked ready to be done and everybody in the audience could tell that this battle was nearing the end.
Both trainers ordered their final command "Use Pound/Dragon Claw!!". Both pokemon ran forward at each other with the last of their strength and let out a fury of hits against the other.
No one could see the middle, it was so full of dust. Not even the referee could see through the dust.
After a minute, it finally cleared. Both trainers looked in and saw the results "No way!" they both yelled.
And from the result everybody in the audience was thinking "If this was the firsy part of the battle; how big is the second part going to be?".
Author's Notes:
I know 2 parts. I wanted to do a full chapter but it had been to long since the last upload and I wanted to get it out. i hope you guys like it!
We didn't see any of Iris's new pokemon she's gotten from Delgado. I wonder what they are...
Also, Ash and Serena weren't in here cause I wanted to just focus on the battle and felt it would be too distracting if I included them.
Don't forget to tell me what you liked, didn't like,What I could do better, what you want to see more of etc. I'm also still accepting OC's.
So, I hope you guys liked the chapter and I'll see you next time!
