Part 3 and Conclusion of Ash and Bonnie's Battle! Enjoy!
Bonnie started off the second half of the battle with her choice, since she was the trainer, who was behind. "Leafeon, I chose you!" she cried out as an Eveevolution appeared before her.
The Pokémon was primarily tan, but had green tufts of fur sticking out, periodically, on its body. Its ears and tail resembled green leaves as well. Its paws were a dark brown, along with its eyes.
"Typhlosion, come on out once more!" shouted Ash, as he sent out his Johto fire type once again.
The fire type let out another roar, as it relit its flames. It was prepared for another battle.
"Leafeon, use Dig!" Bonnie commanded.
The verdant Pokémon obeyed and dug its way underground.
"We'll use Dig, as well!" Ash commanded.
Bonnie gasped as she saw the volcano Pokémon disappear, underground only to reappear, with one of its paws underneath Leafeon's chin, sending it upwards. Bonnie collected herself quickly.
"Leafeon, use Iron Tail, while in midair!"
"Catch that attack! Then, finish it off with an Eruption!" Ash commanded.
The Eveevolution's tail began to glow white as it spun its body to hit its attacker in the ribs. Before the attack could land, it was stopped by the powerful paws of the volcano Pokémon. The Johto starter twisted the tail in a way that exposed the grass type's back to its powerful jaws. It then unleashed the powerful fire attack. The attack hit, causing a cry of pain as the verdant Pokémon crashed on the ground, landing at Bonnie's feet.
Bonnie looked down and noticed the pained look in its eyes and heard the ref call the battle. She smiled as she returned her verdant Pokémon to its ball, before realizing the jam that she has gotten herself into. What do I do? One of my remaining Pokémon has a disadvantage, while my other one won't do much good, especially since they're the same type.
She unwillingly took out her choice and tossed it onto the battlefield. When the bright light from the Pokéball dimmed, it was shown that her next choice was her Jynx. Jynx took a look at her opponent, before turning to Bonnie, with a confused look on its face.
"I know you're at a disadvantage here, Jynx," Bonnie said, responding to the expression on her Pokémon's face. "But right now, I need your best."
Jynx responded with a thumbs up and turned to face her opponent.
"Jynx, use Lovely Kiss," Bonnie commanded.
The Pokémon winked one eye, before a pair of lips came out from her lips, towards the fire type.
"Typhlosion, use Smoke Screen, to get away from that attack." Ash responded calmly.
The starter Pokémon hid itself in the smoke that it had produced.
Bonnie then saw that the smoke covered the hole that Typhlosion created. She also saw that Jynx was next to Leafeon's hole.
"Jynx use Lovely Kiss and aim at the hole in front of you! Send multiple attacks!" she shouted.
Again, Jynx winked, but this time, a barrage of attacks came and went down the hole. Nothing seemed to happen, as the attack appeared from the smoke. The smoke began to clear to reveal a sleeping Typhlosion.
"Alright! Now, rapid fire Shadow Ball!" she commanded her Pokémon.
Jynx focused and black spheres appeared in her hands, which she launched at her target.
Typhlosion was struck by the attacks and sent flying, but was still asleep. Ash looked on in wonderment at how his Pokémon wasn't knocked out by the powerful combination.
"Typhlosion, wake up!" he yelled, nearly pleading, to his fire type.
Typhlosion's eyes began to flutter open, as he gave a groan of pain. The volcano Pokémon stumbled to its feet, before letting out a roar, as the fire, on its neck, nearly doubled in size. Its pride, as a fire type, was on the line, after being put to sleep by Jynx.
"Jynx, use Blizzard!"
"Typhlosion, Fire Blast! Let's go!"
The two attacks collided, only for the flames to win and Jynx getting itself engulfed in them. The human shape Pokémon cried out in pain, as it hit the ground with swirls in its eyes. Typhlosion let out a satisfied groan, before also hitting the ground, making it unable to battle. Both trainers returned their loyal Pokémon, before making their next decision.
"I have to admit, Bonnie," Ash said to his old friend. "This has been an enjoyable battle!"
Bonnie smiled and nodded. "Agreed, Aaron. I have learned a lot from this battle, but it's not over just yet! Now, you get to face my most powerful Pokémon and my starter. Go Delphox!"
From the Pokéball, came a bipedal fire and psychic type starter from Kalos. The foxlike Pokémon had dark red fur on its arms and legs, with a yellow chest and tail, along with a white stomach. From its ears, came bright red fur, and in its hand, it held a stick with a flame on the end of it.
"A respectable Pokémon," Ash remarked. "Now then, let me introduce you to one of my original Pokémon. Let's battle together once more, my old friend."
In front of Ash, stood his own Blastoise. The shellfish Pokémon let out a roar, as it sent jets of water out from its two cannons.
"Delphox, it's you and me, till the very end," Bonnie said.
The fox Pokémon gave a bark of confidence, as it stared down its opponent, despite it having a type advantage over it.
"Let's start off with Psyshock!" Bonnie commanded her starter Pokémon.
Three spheres of purple psychic energy appeared in front of the Kalos starter and were sent toward the Kanto Pokémon.
"Blastoise, use Rapid Spin and get in close!" Ash commanded.
The turtle-like Pokémon disappeared into its shell, before rapidly spinning and batting away the three attacks, as if they were nothing. It then popped out, as it got in front of the fox Pokémon.
"Hydro Pump! Go!"
The water type responded with a powerful jet of water.
"Use Psychic!" Bonnie commanded her starter.
The psychic and fire type's eyes began to glow blue, as it lifted the stick in its hand. The jets of water were then diverted to the sides of it, causing them to collide against the wall of the stadium.
"Blastoise, use Skull Bash!" Ash commanded, while his opponent was occupied with diverting his water attack.
The head of his water type collided with the chest of the Kalos starter, sending it into the wall with a cry of pain. No sooner had it hit, three more purple spheres then came flying out and hit Blastoise, causing the shellfish Pokémon to stumble back.
"Alright, Delphox, that's how you fight back! Now, use Dazzling Gleam!" Bonnie shouted with confidence.
A bright wave of energy was then sent from the fox Pokémon and hit its opponent again. causing it to skid across the battlefield. Blastoise hit the ground and began to struggle to get up. Delphox walked across the field with a smirk on its face, thinking it had the battle locked up. Ash just smirked, as he knew that Bonnie made a critical mistake. She overestimated her advantage.
"Blastoise, Hydro Pump in the hole, now!" Ash shouted.
Blastoise aimed the powerful water attack at the hole that was positioned in front of him. Once in the ground, the jets of water came from the various holes, which were created earlier, including one that was near the fire and psychic type. The attack hit home, which caused the fox Pokémon to recoil back in pain.
Seeing the condition her Pokémon was in, Bonnie made a desperate attempt.
"Delphox, use Future Sight!"
The fox Pokémon closed it eyes and focused its psychic powers, before swinging her stick forward in an attacking motion, for nothing to happen.
"Risky tactic there!" Ash commented at the desperate play of the young trainer/coordinator.
"Hey, when your back's against a wall, any port, in the storm, will do," Bonnie grinned back.
She knew that she had to stall enough time, for the attack to take effect, but that was easier said than done.
"Blastoise, we need to wrap this up now." Ash said calmly. "Use Rapid Spin!"
"Delphox, stop that over grown turtle with Psychic!" Bonnie countered.
The spinning Blastoise was stopped midair by a blue glowing light, before popping its head out with a smirk on its face.
"Gotcha, Bonnie. Blastoise, Hydro Cannon full blast!"
From the cannons, on the shellfish Pokémon's back, came two powerful spheres of water. Bonnie looked in horror, as each hit its mark, causing a cry of pain to come from her loyal starter. She looked on as Delphox fell to her knees, with a glassy gaze. Suddenly, a white beam of energy hit her opponent. She gave a smile before falling forwards and becoming unconscious.
Bonnie returned her starter and smiled down at the Pokéball.
"Just a little too late there, girl. You did great out there. Get some rest."
She turned to see her opponent return his hurting water type, who seemed barely conscious to the young girl. She smiled and walked over to the victor.
"I lucked out." she heard Aaron say, as she got closer. "If I hadn't finished it, then that Future Sight attack would have put us in a tough spot."
Bonnie smiled as she took Ash's hand in hers and shook it. "Yeah, but I would still have to deal with those two." she said as she motioned to Lucario and Pikachu. "I don't think I would have made it far."
"Who knows," Ash said with a chuckle. "These two have gone soft and stranger things have happened." Both Pokémon growled at being called soft, causing both humans, present, to laugh. "It was a good battle. We'll have to have a rematch soon."
Bonnie nodded with enthusiasm. "Sounds good to me, Aaron. Thanks for everything!"
With those words, Ash's platform began to lower, before he made his way back to his locker room.
He turned to his two companions, "Just two more rounds, guys, before the championship."
The group began to make their way out of the elite suite, to go and comfort Bonnie, after her defeat at the hands of Aaron. As they were leaving, Dawn and May both felt a tug on their arms. They turned to see Serena gesturing them to step away from the group. They just shrugged their shoulders and walked with her, a distance away from the group.
"What's up?" Dawn asked before being shushed by Serena.
"Hey now. You called us over here," May said in a whisper. "So it better be good."
Serena gave a big smile and nod. "It's good, guys! Trust me!"
Both Dawn and May noticed a sparkle in Serena's eyes. A sparkle that they hadn't seen in a while. They were both curious. They waited until May finally asked what was on both coordinators' minds. "Well, what is it then, Serena?"
"Well, I need your help with something . . .."
