Chapter 25- Ash vs Paul
Stadium Ash Pov:
I stare towards Paul across the rocky field. He has changed, it seems that he pushed his pokemon to the limit, but he praises their performance. I knew his team, so I wanted to allow him to have a good match.
"Pikachu, I choose you!" No one noticed the nostalgia amazingly.
"Aggron stand by for battle!" Amazingly no one even remembered an event that started like this.
"Battle begin!" the ref exclaims.
"Pikachu use Volt Tackle!" I call out. Pikachu shoots out like a yellow bullet and hits Paul's Aggron head on.
"Use iron head!" Paul calls out. I see that Pikachu is about to get hit so I make a quick call.
"Pikachu use iron tail on the ground!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouts in success. Aggron then trips and falls over. This slowed Aggron enough for me. "Now use Thunderbolt!"
"Quick! Use protect!" Paul shouts. I see Pikachu's thunderbolt completely neutralized and Aggron stands up. "I see, you are clever, but that won't be enough! Use stone edge!"
"Jump on top!" I shout and Pikachu goes on top of the stone edge, avoiding damage. "Great now use iron tail!"
"Hammer arm!"
Both moves collide having a shock wave throughout the field. Iron tail did over power though and pushed Aggron back.
"Pikachu use iron tail to launch rocks at Aggron!" I shout.
"Pika...CHUUU!" Pikachu shouts as he throws the rocks. Every single one nailing Aggron. Aggron then fell back and did not move.
"Aggron is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!" the ref shouted.
"Alright Pikachu, well done, return!" I exclaim as Pikachu comes to my side.
I witness Paul smirking, I know he has a plan now, "Gastrodon stand by for battle!"
I smirk back, I know exactly how this is going to play out. "Staraptor, I choose you!"
Paul seemed surprised at what my selection was,"Now Gastrodon use muddy water as a counter shield!"
"Hehe, Staraptor use aerial ace on his belly!" I shout and Staraptor lands a perfect hit on Gastrodon sending it airborne.
"Use body slam!"
"Gastro...don!" Gastrodon shouts as he falls on Staraptor.
"Staraptor!" Staraptor exclaims in struggle.
"Now Gastrodon, use water pulse straight upwards!" Paul shouts.
Normal POV:
Serena was watching the battle in horror as Staraptor was trapped.
"That water pulse is getting faster and stronger as it falls…" Night said.
"Come on Romeo!" Bonnie shouts.
"This is trouble for Romeo," Clemont remarked.
"Romeo will pull through, I know he can!" Serena exclaims.
"Juliette is right, Romeo can beat this, just watch," Dawn remarked.
"Staraptor use close combat on the ground!" Ash shouted. Staraptor started to hit the ground and was able to break free. This time though, Staraptor was able to fly up, but slightly weaker. "Brave bird!"
"Quick use water pulse!" Paul shouted.
"spin dodge it!" Ash exclaimed. Staraptor made a barrel roll and dodged water pulse before glowing blue and hitting Gastrodon. Gastrodon was engulfed in an explosion. Obviously, Gastrodon was defeated.
"Gastrodon is unable to battle, Staraptor wins!" the ref exclaimed.
"You are strong Romeo, reminds me of someone," Paul commented. Ash remembered that everything that they said was amplified now, so he tried to keep clean.
"I guess you could say that," Ash replied.
Paul smirked, "Drapion stand by for battle!"
"Staraptor let's keep this going strong, use close combat!"
"Grab him!" Paul shouted and Drapion got ahold of Staraptor.
"Staraptor no!" Ash exclaimed. Staraptor was being held. Staraptor was too tired to continue.
"Now use cross poison!" Paul ordered. Drapion shot out cross poison and instantly caused major damage to Staraptor. Staraptor was released after the impact, but it fell on rhe ground unconscious.
"Staraptor is unable to battle, Drapion wins!"
"You were amazing staraptor, come take a good rest," Ash praises as he recalled Staraptor. Ash then took out his next pokeball and threw it out with determination. "Floatzel I choose you!"
"Nice Floatzel, but how will it come through?" Paul asked. "Use pin missile!"
"Quite the pin missile, Floatzel use hydro pump as a counter shield," Ash ordered. Floatzel turned and avoided the pin missile.
"Seems legit, now grab Floatzel!"
"Oh no you don't! Floatzel get in the air with aqua jet!" Ash exclaimed. Paul smirked as Floatzel went into the air.
"Toxic spikes!" Paul shouted. Drapion looked up and shot out toxic spikes that made contact with the ground before Floatzel would fall.
"This is bad…" May recalled.
"What will Romeo do now?" Max asked.
Floatzel hit the ground and became damaged and immobilized by the damage. Ash knew that Floatzel was not having a good chance of winning.
"Floatzel can you still battle?" Ash asked.
"Floaa…" he responded weakly.
"Use aqua jet!" Ash replied as Floatzel charged Drapion.
Paul smirked again, "Cross poison!"
Cross poison overpowered aqua jet fainting Floatzel.
"Floatzel is unable to battle, Drapion wins," the ref exclaimed.
"You tried your hardest, now take a good rest," Ash replied.
"It seems I know your team 'Romeo'," Paul smirked giving Ash the confirmation.
"Hehe, you are a smart one Paul," Ash replied. "Gliscor I choose you!"
"Gliscor!" Gliscor shouted with determination. Gliscor touched the ground and glew purple, but there was no damage, in fact a green aura surrounded Gliscor.
"Wait, what is up with Gliscor?" Clemont asked with confusion.
"Poison heal," Night responded recalling what happened earlier today:
"Ash, here, have this," Night said handing Ash a purple capsule.
"What is it?"
"An ability capsule, you can change your Pokemon's abilities, I suggest changing Gliscor for poison heal," Night responded while winking.
"Gliscor use stone edge!"
"Gli… SCOR!"
"Drapion use Pin Missile!" Paul shouted.
The attacks met, it was a stalemate so both attacks caused an explosion. Through the smoke, Gliscor was able to conceal itself very well.
"Gliscor use giga impact!" Ash shouted.
"Gli...SCOR!" Gliscor shouted hitting an unsuspecting Drapion in the thorax and then flying upwards while spinning.
"Alright!" Ash shouted.
"Cross poison!" Paul shouted.
"X scissor!" Ash retaliated. Both Drapion and Gliscor charged their attacks and collided causing a large explosion. Gliscor flew back up and a green aura came up indicating poison heal.
"Let's finish this FIRE FANG/POISON FANG!" both trainers shouted.
Both Pokemon met up causing a massive explosion. Both pokemon lay on the ground though… motionless.
"Both po-" the ref started until poison heal kicked in and Gliscor stood up. Gliscor turned to Ash and started celebrating. "It seems Drapion is unable to battle, which means that there will now me an intermission to change fields!"
"Hehe, your Gliscor is as strong as ever," Paul replied while recalling Drapion.
"I guess you wanted to have another battle with it," Ash smirked.
The new field came up revealing a icefield, since it was a new field, Ash was relieved that toxic spikes was gone as he did not have a poison type to remove them.
"Select your pokemon!"
"I am sticking with Gliscor," Ash responded.
"Scor!"
"Then I will use this pokemon!" Paul shouted revealing a Froslass. "Use hail!"
"Gliscor get to the sky!" Ash exclaimed as Gliscor attempted to avoid the hail, but he was hit.
"Froslass finish this quick with icicle crash!"
"Gliscor no!" the explosion was massive and clearly Gliscor was unable to battle.
"Gliscor is unable to battle, Froslass wins," the ref exclaims.
"Good try Gliscor, you really did well," Ash praised his fallen pokemon as he returned it. "Torterra I choose you!"
"Why is he using Torterra at this disadvantage?" Dawn asked.
"He must have a plan," Clemont responded.
"Froslass use icicle crash, end this fast!"
"Protect!" Ash called out. The explosion was massive, but Torterra was unscratched. "Now use sunny day!" Torterra cleared all of the hail and made the sun come out. "Now use Solar beam!"
"Ice beam!" Paul called with terror.
Both moves collided but Solarbeam overpowered and hit Froslass. It was so powerful that Froslass fell unconscious.
"Froslass is unable to battle, Torterra wins!"
"Hmph," Paul said as he recalled Froslass and took out another pokeball. "Ninjask stand by for battle!"
"Torterra, you want to keep going?" Ash asked.
"Terra!" it shouted confirming that it wanted to keep battling. Torterra was still a little shaken up, but it could still battle with confidence.
"Good, start it off with Solar beam!"
"Terra!" Torterra shouted as it shot the beam.
"Quick Ninjask dodge!" Paul ordered as Ninjask dodged with incredible speed. Everyone stared in shock as they watched how Ninjask avoided the attack and seemingly got faster. "Now use fury cutter!"
"Torterra hang in there!" Ash shouted as Torterra was being bombarded with hits from Ninjask.
"Torterra is in trouble now…" Clemont said. Most people in the stands were thinking it was over for Torterra, but things were just getting started.
"Torterra will come through, it always can!" Serena shouted.
"Torterra protect now!" Ash exclaimed. Torterra obeyed and unbelievably, pulled through.
"Ninjask!" Paul called out in horror as Ninjask flinched hurt by slamming head first into protect. "Circle around and use giga drain!"
As Ninjask started circling Torterra to use giga drain, Ash smirked. Torterra was not going to last long, but Ash could even things out, "Frenzy Plant!"
"Torrr….TERRRA!" Torterra shouted through the giga drain and with its last amount of energy, shot large plants out of the ground constricting Ninjask picking up a lot of dust.
When the dust cleared, everyone was shocked to see both pokemon on the ground. When the plants retreated back to the ground, it was obvious that both pokemon were unable to battle.
"Both Torterra and Ninjask are unable to battle, choose your next pokemon and in your case Paul, your last pokemon!" the ref exclaimed.
"Electivire stand by for battle!"
"You really want to be nostalgic Paul," Ash replied. People in the stadium looked that the trainers in confusion. "Infernape! I CHOOSE YOU!" Ash exclaimed as he threw a pokeball.
Battlefield Infernape POV:
I was feeling pumped in my Pokeball. I knew that I was going to be chosen soon and that my opponent was none other than my biggest rival, Paul. Still, I was wishing to have a great battle against Electivire as he was my strongest rival.
I felt the world swirl around me as I was summoned onto an ice field. I felt pumped, but obviously I had to be careful with the field.
"Infernape keep your balance!" Ash told me.
I look back and yell, "Infernape!" sure enough, there was Paul and there was Electivire staring at me and my trainer. I looked back at Ash and he was pumped so I was ready to give it my all.
"Thunder!" I hear Paul shout. Then I see Electivire charge up electricity and shoot it right at me.
"Flamethrower!" I hear Ash shout and I smirk. I inhale and exhale a strong beam of flames that run into the beam of lightning and cause an explosion.
"I see that Infernape actually has become stronger," Paul said. "I have to give you that… Thunderpunch!"
"He is one of my strongest," Ash replied while smirking. "Mach Punch!"
I smirk at Electivire and he gives me a smirk back. This was about to get interesting. I shoot out while making my fists glow white while I see Electivire shoot at me with a fist that crackled in lightning.
We start having an exchange of close combat. I hit Electivire and he hits me sometimes. I struggled a little as searing pain went through my stomach at one hit.
I felt the electricity through my body when I got hit, but it was not killing me, but fueling my determination.
"Well well well, I guess I will give it my all!" Paul shouted. Paul then started making different signs with his body while Electivire copied. I watched in awe as Electivire transformed to resemble Paul. I look around and notice people also staring in shock.
"Synchro burst…" Ash remarked in awe. "Infernape, we need to be careful!"
"Fernape!" I reply.
"Brick break!" Paul exclaims.
"Flame wheel!" Ash exclaims.
I take fire and start rolling towards Electivire. I brace myself for impact, but I am prepared to hit hard. When we impact, I notice that I can't get to Electivire's body. I stop and he hits me hard in the stomach.
The pain was large as I flew back and struggled to get up.
"Thunder!" Paul shouts.
Electivire shoots thunder at me and I cannot dodge. I feel the electricity performing its damage. I struggle to resist, but I fall over to the immense pain. I lie in the ground, barely conscious with blurry vision.
"Come on Infernape it is not over you can do this!" I hear Ash shout.
I also hear a faint, "Don't give up until the end!" which I recognise to come from that girl that has a huge crush on my trainer.
It is not over, I am conscious… I CAN DO THIS!
"INFERNAPE!" I shout getting up, my flame larger than ever. My power growing every time I think about it. My vision gets back to normal, only I notice everything has a red tint to it.
"Flamethrower!"
"Thunder!"
I inhale and exhale with all my might. I notice that my stream of fire larger than ever taking over the strength of Electivire. Still, both attacks end in a stalemate and explode.
"Infernape run into the smoke and use mach punch!"
I run into the smoke and sense the electricity of Electivire and make my fist glow white.
"Protect!"
I try to hit Electivire, but a green shield popped up and I stumble back.
"Finish this with thunderpunch!" I see Paul shout.
Then, I hear my trainer shout what I was expecting to hear, "Flare blitz!"
I glow in fire and with all my might go into the thunder punch. I feel all of the electricity, but I don't give up, in fact I push through and then, a large explosion envelops me and Electivire.
I look back with the little energy I had and notice Electivire and Paul, both had a hand over their stomach as if both felt the same pain. Then, Electivire stumbled and fell over.
I hear the words that I longed hearing after that," Electivire is unable to battle which means that Romeo wins!"
"Infernape!" I shout as Ash runs to me and gives me a high five. Then me and Ash walk over to Paul and Electivire.
"Good sportsmanship for both Romeo and Infernape here, this truly was a good battle," I hear the announcer exclaim.
I walk up to electivire and give him a hand to stand up.
"Vire electivire," he thanks me.
"Fernape!" I reply with a smile as I thank Electivire for his amazing battle.
Normal POV:
Ash looks over at the two pokemon. Then, Ash shook hands with Paul.
"I never would have thought we would have another great battle Ketchum," Paul said.
"Count on us having another one soon," Ash replied as everyone cheered. No one could hear this as there was no microphones.
"If you need anything, you know where to get me," Paul replied with a smirk.
"Lemme guess, here watching the battles, and yes I might need your help soon," Ash replied.
"Good, I will see you then," Paul replied as he walked off with electivire.
"Pikapi!"
"Infernape ape!"
Ash looks back at his pokemon and then back up at the screen where the battles of the top 16 were posted.
As Ash walks to his friends, he runs into the person he wanted to.
"Romeo! I can't wait for our battle!" Sawyer called.
"Me neither, Sawyer, let's make this battle a great memory!" Ash responded.
"I sure will," Sawyer said as he walked off.
"Romeo!" Night called as he and the others came to Ash. "That battle really was amazing!"
"Romeo I knew you and your pokemon could do it!" Serena replied.
"My pokemon and me, hehe Juliette you know me very well to know to give my pokemon credit," Ash said with a smile.
Serena blushed and shyly said, "I guess you could say that."
"Come on guys! Clemont is cooking tonight we need to celebrate!" Dawn exclaimed as she and the other ran off.
"Don't mind if I join them, I am starving!" Ash shouted as he ran to catch up.
"Hey, wait for me!" Serena exclaimed.
"I'M HUNGRY TOO!" Night shouted sprinting to catch up.
A/N: so next time, we will have to have Greninja star… But how will he without blowing Ash's cover? You will find out next time!
Remember to R & R and I will see you next time!
