Pokemon: Return of a Hero
Well It's here, the twentieighth chapter of my pokemon fanfic: Pokemon: Return of a Hero! It's time for the battles of round seven and even though he did this guess for round six I'll still give it to him, Palletboy2001 you get a shout out for guessing who Ash would be battleing, also to respond to bloody dragon fang's review, there is just one hitch in that suggrstion of yours: Ash doesn't know what this new power is and he won't be able to unlock it when ever he want's the only thin he can train is the ability itself after he unlocks it which if you remember is exactly how it went with synchro evolution. One other thing: I hit fifty followers therefore I'll be giving a shout out to each of you fifty:

Chapter XXVIII
Ash stared at the screen. It read: 12:00, Field D, Ash Vs. Iris. Ash looked over at his Unovan mate, she looked back at him. With a sigh he walked up to her. "It was bound to happen sooner or later." Said the Pallet trainer glumly. The Opelucid gym leader nodded unhappily in respnse. With that they decided that it was time to got to sleep, they'd do this tommorow.
Ash and Iris walked close to one and another which while ignored by most of the guys Cilan couldn't help but notice a change in how the two acted towards one and another, sure they butted heads once in a while but that died down pretty quickly. Could it be? "Nah it couldn't." Thought the grass type using Striaten city gym leader to himself. He decided that he'd talk about it with Ash later.
That night while Trip and Cilan were asleep in their beds already Ash was sitting in his just thinking. "Ash? Are you still awake?" Asked Iris sleepily. Ash turned his head to look at her. She looked very pretty. Ash gave a fake smile. "I'm fine just having a little trouble falling asleep is all." Lied the Legendary Warrior. In truth he was still mulling over his rather negative thoughts from earlier today.
She walked over to him and sat on his bed next to him, then she gently put a hand on his cheek and kissed him. When she pulled away she looked at him gently. "If you say so Ash, just remember your mates are here for you if you ever need help ok?" Said the young Dragon master. Ash nodded slightly with a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Unknown to them Cilan was quietly watching all of this happen with a small smile. With a silent sigh he decided to go to sleep already preparring an entire list of questions for Ash.
The next morning at Field D Ash and Iris were facing one and another on opposite sides of the battle field. Neither was happy about their current situation but they decided that they'd just grin and bear through it until the end of the battle, Ash silently promised himself that he needed to start going on dates or something with all of his mates, but where and how? He had eight mates. Ash sighed deciding he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.
"Ladies and gentlemen it's time for the battles of round seven. on one side of the field we have the star of this show, Ash Ketchum! On the other side of the field the young trainer is facing his fourth gym leader in the tournament, this one being from the Opelucid dragon type gym in the Unova Iris Draco!" Boomed the announcer over his ear exploding microphone.
"Trainers this will be a double battle format, each trainer has access to in total four pokemon, would the trainers send out their first two pokemon." Said the announcer. Ash and Iris each reached for two of their pokeballs. Iris went first. "Emolga and Excadrill I choose you!" Said Iris sending out her two pokemon whom were completely different from one and another.
Emoga was a tiny flying squirrl electric and flying type female pokemon while Excadrill was about three feet tall (is that an acurate size for the Excadrill species? I'm not sure) was based off of a mole merged with a drill, his typing was ground and steel and he was male. Next it was Ash's turn to send out his pokemon. "Feraligatr and Muk I choose you!" Said Ash sending out both of his pokemon.
Again both pokemon were very different while both were male physical attackers that was where the similarities ended. Feraligatr was taller than a person was based off of an aligatar that was blue and had huge jaws. Muk on the uther hand was, well, muck. He was purple and slimy and would most likley make everyone around him who had a sense of smell back of quite a bit.
"Time to choose the battle field. This time our options are: Ice, Steel, Flying, or Dark." Said the announcer gesturing to a scree with four tiles, there was one very light blue, one gray, one very light gray, and a purple tile on the screen. After a moment three of the tiles disappeared leaving only the purple one remaining. "Poison field it is!" Declared the announcer to the crowd.
The field shifted it's shape to become the poison field. The sides of the field retracted showing two small bubbling pools of purple liquid Ash assumed those were most likely poison pits that would inflict poison on anyone with the misfortune to fall in. "The battle will start as Feraligatr and Muk Vs. Excadrill and Emolga. Trainers Ready? Battle begin!" Said the ref waving his flags around.
"Muk use Fire punch on Excadrill and Feraligatr use Dragon claw on Emolga!" Instructed Ash. Muk swung a flaming fist at Excadrill while Feraligatr swung his glowing claws at Emolga. "Emolga counter with Air slash and Excadrill counter with Smart strike!" Shouted Iris. Emolga shot a glowing energy blades towards Feraligatr while Excadrill aimed a powerful stab at Muk's incoming punch.
Feraligatr slashed through the attack with his claws on one hand then dug the claws of the other into Emolga, meanwhile Excadrill and Muk got close enough to one and another while using their attacks where they both hit each other at the same time knocking them both bach. "Feraligatr use Rock slide and Muk use Ice punch on Emolga!" Commanded Ash.
Feraligatr unleashed a rock slide above the enemy pokemon while Muk charged at Emolga with a fist covered in ice. "Emolga destroy as many rocks as you can with Hidden power (rock), and Excadrill fire a Focus blast at Feraligatr!" Ordered Iris. Emolga fired a brown variation of the Hidden power move at the rocks above her succesfully preventing herself from getting hit.
Unfortunatly she couldn't stop Muk's Ice punch and was knocked back with a little ice on her right wing. Excadrill fired of his Focus blast knocking back Feraligatr and grunted in pain as a bunch of Rocks hit him in the head. "Muk use Poison jab on Emolga and Feraligatr use Brick break on Excadrill." Shouted Ash. Feraligatr lept at Excadrill with a glowing hand while Muk charged towards Emolga with his hand glowing purple.
"Emolga counter with Attract and Excadrill counter with Crush claw!" Instructed Iris. Emolga sent a swarm of hearts at Muk stopping the poison type in his tracks when the hearts collided with him his eyes were replaced with hearts and he couldn't bring himself to attack Emolga. Meanwhile Excadrill with a glowing claw uppercutted at Feraligatr's downcoming hand the two moves collided and they were locked into a sort of stalemate.
After a moment the two broke off neither taking any real damage. Ash looked at Muk, the poison type was still infatuated with Emolga so there was no way that he'd attavk the flying squirrel. Now he had a plan. "Muk attack Excadrill with Body slam. Feraligatr, Emolga has to go, so finish her off with, Hydro cannon!" Ordered Ash. Despite his infatuation Muk is able to jump at Excadrill.
Meanwhile Feraligatr fires off the most powerful water type move there is at Emolga with all his might. Iris knows she needs to do something. "Emolga counter with Thunderbolt, Excadrill fight back with Drill run!" Commanded the Opelucid gym leader. Emolga fired off a bolt of lightning at the incoming mass of water while Excadrill switched to his drill form and charged at Muk.
The Hydro cannon was to strong for Emolga's Thunderbolt to over power and the poor electric type is knocked back by the gigantic jet of water, when the electric type lands she faints. "Emplga is unable to battle, resume the battle." Declared the referee. With Emolga fainted Muk can focus on attacking Excadrill's oncoming drill attack. Just before Excadrill could attack he suddenly stops and changes back to his normal form with his claws over his mouth looking like he was going to be sick.
Iris looked at her pokemon in confusion. Ash explained the situation for her. "Muk's ability is Stench, each of his moves has a one out of ten chance to cause the opponent to flinch away. Looks like it activated now." Explained the Legendary Warrior. Just then Muk landed on Excadrill. After hitting the ground the steel type pushes the poison typed blob off of him with a slightly dazed look.
Iris recalls her Emolga and then reached for her next pokemon. "Dragonite I choose you!" Said Iris sending out her dragon and flying typed pokemon. Dragonite snarled looking at his opponents. Ash decided he'd go first. "Muk use Ice punch on Dragonite and Feraligatr use Rock slide like before." Ordered Ash. Feraligatr unleased the slide of rocks above the enemy pokemon's heads while Muk went at Dragonite with a frozen fist.
"Destroy the rocks using Flamethrower and Crush claw!" Instructed Iris quickly. Dragonite fired a burst of flames at the rocks above him melting them before they could reach him while Excadrill used his glowing claws to destroy the rocks above him. Muk punched Dragonite but the attack didn't seem to do much. "Dragonite's ability is Multiscale, halves all damage he takes while at full health." Explained the dragon master.
"Muk use Fire punch on Excadrill and Feraligatr use Dragon claw on Dragonite!" Shouted Ash. Muk went at Excadrill with a flaming fist while Feraligatr went at Dragonite with glowing claws. "Excadrill escape into the pit with Drill run and Dragonite fight back with Thunder punch!" Commanded Iris. Transforming into a drill Excadrill entered the poison pits but due to his steel typing he wasn't poisoned.
"After him Muk!" Said Ash. Muk chased after Excadrill following him into the pit also remaining immune due to his poison typing. The two clashed under the purple liquid. Meanwhile Dragonite and Feraligatr were clashing with their equally powerful dragon an electric type attacks, the two ended in a stale mate. After a while of fighting Muk was knocked out of the poison pit and was lying on his back groaning.
Excadrill jumped out of the pit and shook himself off. "Muk use Poison jab on Dragonite and Feraligatr use Brick break on Excadrill!" Instructed Ash. Muk went after Dragonite with a glowing hand while Feraligatr lept at Excadrill with his hand glowing ready to strike the enemy steel type with the super effective fighting type move. "Dragonite counter with Hurricane and Excadrill counter with Focus blast!" Ordered Iris.
Dragonite unleashed a Hurricane at the incoming Muk causing the poison type to stop in his tracks causing his move to fail as he took damage. Leaping at Excadrill made Feraligatr an easy target as Excadrill slammed the long range fighting type move into the alligator's face causing him to fall onto his back right next to his poison typed partner. Ash grimaced seeing that his most recent attack failed.
Ash decided it was time to bust out the big guns again. "Muk use Body slame on Excadrill and Feraligatr use Hydro cannon on Dragonite!" Commanded Ash. Muk jumped and went flying at Excadrill while Feraligatr fired his incredibly powerdul water type move at Dragonite. Iris knew just the way to retaliate her opponents attack. She called out to her pokemon with their next orders.
"Dragonite counter the Hydro cannon with Dragon rush and Excadrill take Muk down with your Smart strike!" Shouted Iris. Dragonite surrounded himself in a glowing bright blue dragon shaped dragon typed energy and then charged straight at the incoming jet of water that Feraligatr had fired at him. The two attacks collided causing a huge explosion. When the dust settled Dragonite stood there unhurt.
Meanwhile Excadrill fired his never missing steel typed attack at the incoming Muk, the poor poison type didn't have any way to dodge the attack as it collided with him he hit the field with a loud thud as his eyes were replaced by swirls signifying that he had fainted. "Muk is unable to battle, resume the battle." Said the referee with a wave of his flags telling the trainers to keep going.
Ash sighed as he recalled his pokemon. He was in trouble that Dragonite of hers was a total power house though theye were each down one pokemon it looked like he'd need to bust out some impressive moves if he was going to win with out going over board like he had been managing to avoid the entire tournament. Ash reached for his next pokemon who was ready and waiting on his waist. Speaking of having moves this pokemon fit that category perfectly.
Wow I almost missed the deadline, I had to do twenty chapters today because I didn't do diddly squat yesterday. So far so good if any of you have any questions please post them and I'll do my best to answer them in the upcoming chapters though just so you know I won't be giving any spoilers, feel free to ask whatever you want I will still answer, how much I answer will depend on the question itself. You can ask whatever you want (I feel like I'm going to regret saying that) Just a reminder there are ten rounds in the entire tournament meaning after this round there will only be three battles remaining so who knows how many of Ash's friends he'll still have to fight. Also if you're wondering Clemont did join the tournament he was just defeated in let's say round four or five I'm honestly not completely sure myself, whatever checks out with the rest of the story. Look I'm going to go now so until next time fic fans. Nemon0416 is outta here!
