Chapter 27
4th Round
"Mamoswine use earthquake, Blastoise in the air." Blastoise jumped in the air.
"Same with both of you," said Ash. Both Infernape and Sceptile joined Blastoise in the air.
"Split pump, Blastoise." Water shot out of the two cannons on the back of Blastoise. Each cannon was aimed at each of Ash's Pokemon. The attack hit both of Ash's pokemon and they hit the arena floor.
"Kyla is definitely talented," said Morgan.
"She should be," said Krista.
"What do you mean mom?"
"She is Aaron's baby sister."
"She's Alex's sister-in-law? How come I've never met her?"
"You were only 18 months the one time I met her and that was at Alex's wedding. She has gotten a lot bigger since then. She is just as talented as Aaron."
"Wow. That's saying something."
"So who is the best?" asked Mrs Ketchum. "Of Aaron's family?"
"Aaron's twin sister Anna," said Professor Kay.
"That's probably why she is a gym leader," said Morgan.
"Yeah," said Krista.
"Sceptile use leaf blade on Blastoise."
"Double edge, Mamoswine." Mamoswine intercepted Sceptile's attack and sent Sceptile flying to the side of the field. Sceptile stood up.
"Infernape flare blitz." Infernape hit Mamoswine on the side and caused Mamoswine to stumble a little.
"Aqua jet, Blastoise," said Kyla. Blastoise started to attack Infernape.
"Sceptile use quick blade." Sceptile moved so quickly that Blastoise hadn't even crossed half the distance between where it had been and Infernape, before Sceptile's attack hit.
Meanwhile, up in a corner of the arena, four people stood. "This looks like it could be a draw," said a male voice.
"Don't count out the boy," said a female voice.
"Now Breanna, you cannot pick sides in a fight," said an older male voice. "That is not how we work."
"I know," said Breanna, "but there is more to Ash than he appears."
"I agree," said a female voice. "Ash could very well win this tournament, or could easily fall in this match. Two rounds ago was his first real taste of what is to come. I have a feeling that if he wins the tournament, he has a good chance of reaching me."
"I can see why you would say that," said the young male voice.
Meanwhile on the field, after ten minutes of battling, "Blastoise is unable to battle."
"Great job, Blastoise," said Kyla. Blastoise had been finished off by a close combat from Infernape. "Go, Lapras."
"Enter Lapras. Continue."
"Lapras use surf." Mamoswine fell back behind Lapras as the attack was launched.
"Get out of there," said Ash. Sceptile managed to get above the wave, but Infernape was hit.
"Infernape is unable to battle."
"Nice job, Infernape. Ready Pikachu?"
"Pika." Pikachu jumped down onto the field, as Sceptile landed.
"Enter Pikachu. Continue."
"Pikachu use volt tackle of Lapras."
"Body slam, Lapras." Lapras landed on Pikachu stopping its attack. "Surf Lapras." A huge wave formed under Lapras with Pikachu caught underneath.
"This cannot be good," said Ash. "Wait a second, Pikachu use thunderbolt." The electricity flowed through the wave and hit Lapras. "Yes," shouted Ash. The wave disapated.
"I've underestimated you Ash. That will not happen again. Mamoswine and Lapras use blizzard." The two pokemon launched their attacks. The two attacks combined to form one large snow storm.
"Sceptile use quick blade, Pikachu quick tail."
"That won't work, Ash. Prepare for a sky attack."
"Right through the storm, you two."
"What?" shouted Kyla. Pikachu and Sceptile sped right through the gigantic blizzard and hit their marks. Pikachu hit Mamoswine and Sceptile hit Lapras.
"Mamoswine is unable to battle."
"Great job, Mamoswine," said Kyla. She returned Mamoswine. "Okay Ash. You have forced my hand. You are making me use a pokemon that I did not wish to use this early in the tournament. Go, Typhlosion."
"Not good," said Professor Kay.
"What is it mom?"
"I have seen her battle with her Typhlosion. It was several years back, when she was about 17. Saying her Typhlosion is strong would be an understatement. That Typhlosion is powerful."
"How powerful?" asked Krista.
"It went toe to toe with Alex's Blaziken." Krista and Morgan's jaws dropped. "It nearly won the battle too."
"Now that is saying something," said Morgan.
"Enter Typhlosion. Continue."
"Pikachu use volt tackle on Lapras."
"Typhlosion intercept Pikachu's attack with flare blitz." Typhlosion connected head on with Pikachu. The attacks did a great deal of damage, but Pikachu seemed to take the worst of it. "Lapras use surf." The wave began to form under Lapras.
"Leaf storm Sceptile."
"Out in front Typhlosion and use overheat." Overheat met the leaf storm and started to push it back. The attack eventually hit Sceptile.
"Sceptile is unable to battle."
"Great job, Sceptile," said Ash. "Let's go Gabite."
"Enter Gabite. Continue."
"Gabite use dragon rush."
"Dodge Typhlosion and use overheat on Pikachu."
"Pikachu dodge and use volt tackle on Lapras." Pikachu ran under Typhlosion and hit Lapras.
"Lapras is unable to battle."
"Great job Lapras," said Kyla. "It is all up to you Typhlosion."
"Continue."
"Let's finish this," said Ash. "Gabite use crunch on Typhlosion."
"Dodge Typhlosion."
"Pikachu use thunderbolt." While dodging Gabite's attack, Typhlosion was hit by Pikachu's thunderbolt.
"Let's attack at once. Pikachu use iron tail. Gabite use dragon rush." Pikachu was there first.
"Now Typhlosion." As Pikachu prepared to connect with iron tail, Typhlosion grabbed Pikachu's tail. Typhlosion then proceeded to throw Pikachu at the charging Gabite. Pikachu's iron tail, which was still active, hit Gabite. "It will take a lot more than that to beat us, Ash." Gabite and Pikachu both staggered to get up. "Flare blitz Typhlosion."
"Pikachu use volt tackle, Gabite use dragon rush. Meet Typhlosion head on." The three pokemon charged. They met in the center of the arena. The combination of the three attacks caused a large explosion in the arena. Smoke and dust filled the battlefield. Five minutes later, the smoke and dust cleared. To everyone's amazement, Pikachu and Typhlosion were still standing but were severely hurt. Gabite was on the ground next to them, having fainted.
"Gabite is unable to battle." Ash returned Gabite to its ball. "Pikachu vs Typhlosion. Continue."
"What do you say, Ash? Let's finish this off with a bang."
"No problem with me," said Ash.
"Typhlosion use quick attack."
"You too, Pikachu." The two Pokemon met in the middle of the arena. "Keep it up Pikachu."
"You too Typhlosion." All over the battlefield, the two pokemon collided with each other, neither of them giving an inch to the other. Typhlosion lept back to the far side of the battlefield. "Time to finish this. Typhlosion use flare blitz."
"Pikachu use volt tackle." The two pokemon ran at top speed.
"This is it," said Morgan. The two pokemon collided in the center of the battlefield, inches from where the last large collision had occurred. The explosion caused by this collision was much larger than the previous one. It appeared to everyone watching, that these two pokemon were fighting at their maxes. It took longer this time for the smoke and dirt to settle. When it did, both pokemon were standing. Both were hurt and tired and running on their last store of energy.
Throughout the entire stadium, people were cheering and applauding the two pokemon and their trainers. As the applause and cheering reached its peak, both pokemon fell to the ground and fainted.
A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. I got a few reviews saying that the battles were lacking a little bit. I hope this meets the standards. It actually took me about ten minutes to write the last sentence. I did not know how I wanted to end this battle, so I decided to continued it into the next chapter.
