Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or any of its characters. I only own my OC's and my ideas.
A/N. Please bare with me. Unlike the gym leaders, I have not writen out the pokemon and their move sets of Ash's opponents. For right now, it might take longer to do matches.
Chapter 26
Double Battle
The following day
"Ash, wake up," said Mrs Ketchum. "You need to come have breakfast before your next match." Ash groaned but got up. Pikachu waited until Ash was ready and then the two of them headed out. Ash joined his mom, Alex, Morgan, Krista, Professors Kay and Oak at a small resturant. Ash's beaper had not gone off, so he enjoyed himself.
As they finished breakfast, Ash's beaper went off. He had to be to stadium 4 in fifteen minutes. They paid for the meal and then basically ran to the stadium. Ash's third round opponent was Kara. It was obvious that Kara had a few years on Ash. It was not many years, but a few.
"This third round match between Ash of Pallet Town and Kara of Erotane City is about to begin. This match will be a 2 on 2 double battle. The winner will be the one with pokemon still standing. Since this is the third round, we shall flip the coin. Ash is heads and Kara is tails." He flips the coin. "The coin is heads. Ash what do you wish to do."
"Ladies first," said Ash.
"Very well," said the offical. "Kara, send out your two pokemon."
"Alright. Go, Charizard. Go, Empoleon."
"A good combo," said Morgan.
"If she raised her pokemon well," said Alex.
"Rightly so," said Krista.
"Fire/Flying, Water/Steel?" said Ash. "Fine with me. You ready Pikachu."
"Pika." Pikachu hoped from Ash's shoulder to the field. Go, Charizard."
"Kara's Charizard and Empoleon vs Ash's Charizard and Pikachu. Begin."
"Alright," said Kara. "Delta attack, you two."
"Watch it," said Ash. Charizard and Empoleon charged. Charizard turned the charge into a flare blitz and Empoleon into an aqua jet. "Dodge." Pikachu and Charizard jumped out of the way.
"Delta counter," said Kara. Kara's two pokemon turned on a dime and hit Ash's pokemon. Empoleon hit Ash's Charizard while her Charizard hit Pikachu.
"She's ready for this," said Alex.
"Pikachu use volt tackle. Charizard use steel wing." Ash's pokemon attacked, Pikachu on Empoleon and Charizard on Charizard.
"Dodge," said Kara. Kara's two pokemon dodged at the same moment.
"Kara and her pokemon are in sync with each other," said Professor Kay. "Ash has his work cut out for him."
"Definitely," said Mrs Ketchum.
"Aerial strike," said Kara. Charizard landed on the ground and Empoleon got on Charizard's back. Kara's Charizard flew really high into the sky. When it was about thirty feet above the ground, Charizard started its decent. Empoleon was flat against Charizard's back.
"This cannot be good," said Alex. "Charizard is picking up speed." Alex statement was absolutely true, Kara's Charizard was accelerating pretty quickly.
"Wait for it," said Ash.
When Charizard was eight feet from the ground, Kara said,"Now." And with her words, Kara's Charizard used its tell to propel Empoleon down at Pikachu and Ash's Charizard. Empoleon's beek was extending."
"Dodge," shouted Ash. Ash's pokemon jumped out of the way as Empoleon hit the ground. "Iron tail, Pikachu." Pikachu's attack connected, as Empoleon was still a little dazed from hitting the arena floor. "Now Pikachu, use volt tackle of Charizard." Pikachu charged at Kara's Charizard.
"Flare blitz, Charizard." The two pokemon met head on and the impact was tremendous. Dust flew as the explosion caused by the two attacks shook the arena. When the dust settled, both pokemon were standing, though were showing signs of being hurt. Meanwhile, Ash's Charizard and Kara's Empoleon were showing for few signs of being hurt. Charizard's blaze and Empoleon's torrent kicked in
"Pikachu use thunderbolt on Empoleon."
"Dodge, Empoleon," shouted Kara.
"Flare blitz, Charizard," said Ash. Charizard intercepted Empoleon and connected. Both pokemon fell to the ground. Both tried to get up but collapsed.
"Ash's Charizard and Kara's Empoleon are unable to battle." Both trainers returned their pokemon. "Battle continue."
"Charizard use steel wing."
"Iron tail, Pikachu." The two attacks met in mid air, wing to tail. Both pokemon jumped back.
"Flare blitz."
"Volt tackle." The two pokemon met in the middle of the field and caused a large explosion. Both pokemon were sent flying toward their trainers. Both pokemon had to dive out of the way to avoid being hit. By the time both pokemon on their feet, it was obvious that they were hurting from the attack and resulting explosion.
"One mistake," said Alex.
"Time to finish this Charizard. Use blast burn."
"Quick tail, Pikachu." Pikachu ran under the blast burn.
"Shorten it up, Charizard." The attack was coming back at Pikachu.
"Careful, Pikachu," said Ash. As Pikachu neared Charizard, the blast burn was getting even closer. At the last second Ash said, "Jump into the air." Pikachu jumped over Charizard and the iron tail hit Charizard in the back of the head. Charizard was still standing.
"Watch out, Charizard," said Kara. Charizard saw his own blast burn as it hit. Charizard hit the ground.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner. Ash of Pallet Town is the winner." Pikachu ran over to Ash and jumped into his arms.
"Great job, Pikachu." Kara walked over.
"Excellent battle, Ash," she said.
"Thanks. You did well, too."
"Thank you. I look forward to our rematch."
"So do I," said Ash. The two of them left the stadium as the next match was being announced. Kara went her separate way and Ash found his friends.
"Great battle, Ash," said Morgan.
"Thank you." They headed to the Pokemon Center so Ash could heal his pokemon and then they went out for lunch. Due to the dwindling number of trainers remaining, Ash's beaper went off around 3:30. His 4th round match was starting soon in the main arena.
They didn't rush since they were near the arena. Ash headed to the trainer's entrance, while the rest headed to the bleachers. Alex excused herself when she saw a friend and went her separate direction.
"This 4th round match is about to begin. Introducing first, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. His opponent is Kyla from Norait City. This will be 4 on 4 double battle. Trainers may subsitute at any time during the match. The match will be over when one trainer runs out of pokemon. Time to flip the coin. Heads it is Ash, tails it is Kyla." The offical flips the coin. "It's tails. What do you choose Kyla."
"Ash will choose first."
"Okay, Ash, choose your first pokemon."
"Go, Infernape."
"Go, Blastoise," said Kyla.
"Go, Sceptile."
"Let's go Mamoswine," said Kyla.
"Infernape and Sceptile vs Feraligatr and Mamoswine. Let the 4th round match begin."
A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. Kyla, who is a girl, is not a typo. So Ash squeezed out a 3rd round win. It only gets harder from here. Will he make it?
