Author's Note: Hello! Here is the final battle of the Elite Four and the second to last battle of the Pokemon League. As for how many battles this story has left to show...? Nah, I'm not revealing that, lol.

As the title says this the Water Trainer. Our one major problem...? Lucy has nothing to combat water Pokemon...How will she fare in this fight!?

(Sorry, never really came up with a sound track for this one...kinda odd for me)

Also, I do not own Fairy Tail or Pokémon


Chapter Twenty Eight - The Elite Four Part 4: A Sea of Confusion


Lucy found herself in high spirits after leaving the Dragonmark Chamber and defeating Drasna of the Elite Four.

That being said; this was still the Elite Four, and there was still at least one more opponent left. The blonde trainer slowly made her way for the final door as she entered the mini elevator shaft for the final chamber.

Lucy sat in concern as she ascended up through the corridor. Then, she admitted the recently observed truth. "Okay…I'm pretty sure this one is Water-Type…"

Laughing, Nigel sat with Levy as they thumbed through a paper Pokédex and tried to plan the battle. He then addressed Lucy's concern. "Okay, and your point is?"

Lucy shot up. "Umm…I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't have anything super effective against Water-Types!?"

Nigel paused to ponder that thought. "Huh, no I don't think that's true? I know for a fact that you have…oh."

It seems he didn't know her team as well as he thought he did, because as Nigel tried to consider a super effective strategy, he fell short of thinking of a suitable Pokémon for his blonde friend to use.

"Okay…" He admitted. "…let's just calm down. We made it past Lysandre, and his best Pokémon was a Water-Type. Also, the 7th Gym leader Olympia was a champion of Psychic-Types which we also had no plan for."

Lucy wasn't buying it. "I don't know, Nigel…"

He continued. "What I'm saying is don't over think it. Your team is powerful and these battles haven't been too hard yet…" Nigel tried to take weight off of the impending battle as the elevator arrived to its destination.

Lucy then waited as usual on her small platform in the center of a large, dark blue room. As she waited there, the lights turned on which instantly displayed the room in a bright array of blue and purple glows that lit the room up in a pleasant manor. She also noticed that this time the two obstacles to her left and right appeared to be large metal drains with long chains connecting them to the ceiling. As she went to move the drains lifted up and released two large plums of water out into the floor, which turned into a beautiful display of dual fountains on either side of the walk way.

As the display finished, Lucy then stepped forward to greet her next competitor who was placed on his seat of pure gold. He sat with a head of short wavy blonde hair and a very ornate white robe with matching pants. It also appeared that as she got closer it wasn't even a robe at all, but instead it looked like a sort of apron.

As Lucy stopped to address the man, he sat up to finish his current thought.

"You there, Miss!" He said with an alert but passive attitude. "I have a question I must pose to you…Do you think Pokémon battles can ever be worthy of being called an art?"

Lucy thought hard about that question. Up until this point she had never considered these battles to be anything other than a means to escape this virtual prison. "Ugh, right now…no not really."

The man then replied with a look of displeasure on his face. "Fool. If all you seek in life is to fill your stomach with some tasteless matter, then why are there Chefs in this world?! We labor tirelessly to make something wonderful that will disappear from sight as soon as it is enjoyed. That is the life of a Chef! That is the life of a Trainer!" He then stood up.

"I am Siebold; Master of Water, and member of the Elite Four. Although I should be impressed that you have finally made your way to the Flood Chamber; I strongly implore you to prepare your appetite for a vigorous battle!" The blonde man then stood tall with Poké Ball in his hands.

"Go Clawitzer!" He said as he released a large blue crawfish Pokémon with a large armored pincer on its right side.

"Great…" Lucy relied with sorrow. "I already made him mad." She then shook her head and prepared for battle. "Go Er… !" She tried to yell, but Natsu spawned before she could finish.

"Grrrrrr…NATSU! NOW'S NOT THE TIME!" She scorned with anger at her Charizard as he smiled ferociously.

"Hey I'm tellin' ya. One of these days you're gonna be thankful that I jumped in at random." He then charged forward in a flight of pure fire.

"FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" He yelled as he barreled forward and landed a powerful fist of fire on the claw of the enemy.

Despite his efforts, Natsu's attack did leave a single scratch. The Clawitzer then grew angry.

As it moved, the large crawfish then launched a large pulse of water energy towards Natsu, who failed to avoid it and quickly fainted from the blow.

"Lucy…don't…summon…Gajeel…" He pleaded as his trainer shook her head and collected him from the field.

"Tsk…Ya know what? Because of your ridiculous attitude I think I'm gonna do just that! Go Gajeel!" Lucy yelled as she summoned her Steelix to the field.

Levy tried to grab the microphone and began to yell out in concern. "NO! He can't go in, now! Nigel, do something!" She tugged on the arm of her rich friend as he sat in confusion.

"Um…she already made her choice?" Nigel said with a blank expression as he looked on with surprise (because he too did not agree with the decision.)

Gajeel laughed. "Nigel, just tell ol' short stuff there to pipe down. I've got this!" He then barreled forward with a large swing of solid steel.

"Iron Dragon Club!" He roared as he smacked the enemy with his heavy tail, which somehow managed to deal a fatal blow to send the Clawitzer to the floor in defeat.

"HA! Salamander could have never done that for ya, Blondie!" Gajeel laughed as Lucy rolled her eyes.

The Siebold released his next Pokémon. "Go Gyarados!"

Then as the very familiar water-dragon took the field and yelled out with an impressive roar.

Then Gajeel continued with his banter. "And what'd ya know? Here's his least favorite Pokémon." He smiled as he shot out a new attack.

"Iron Dragon ROAR!" He shouted as a large Flash Cannon attack soared towards the Gyarados and knocked it back several feet.

However, after the blow the Gyarados came out virtually unharmed. It then reared its ugly head to send out a powerful Waterfall attack flying towards Gajeel, and as it hit Gajeel had no choice to but to endure the hit.

Despite his preparation, the water attack was still super effective, which forced Gajeel to take on a large flow of powerful water which knocked him over and ended his battle.

"NO!" Levy yelped loudly from her desk seat, but quickly covered her mouth as Nigel, Cana and the exceeds all turned to address her. She then became overly embarrassed and sank lower into her chair.

Nigel grinned and turned back to the mic. "Okay, Lucy. Try something else."

Lucy thought with concern as she collected her unconscious Steelix. "Hmm…Go Wendy?"

She exclaimed with a puzzled expression threw out her small blue and white friend, Wendy.

The large Altaria then took the field and immediately flew forward. "Don't worry, Lucy! I can do this!"

She flew about the field in a fast whirl of wind, and as she came around to attack she let off a powerful Dragon Pulse.

Sadly, the large, purple beam shot past the Gyarados and landed in the wall. Soon after the water dragon lunged out and bit down on the graceful bird Pokémon with a powerful clamp of frost and ice.

"Gyarados used Ice Fang! It's Super Effective!" The message came out right as Wendy collapsed her wings and fell to the ground in a crash of defeat.

Lucy took no hesitation in collecting her friend in order to summon her next competitor.

"Go Jellal!" She yelled as she deployed her powerful Lucario to the field. Jellal stood tall and made no hesitation with choosing his first move.

"Meteor!" He cried as he shot out at lightning speed to land a quick Extreme Speed attack onto the hide of the Gyarados.

Luckily for Jellal, the large beast took enough damage from both Gajeel's attack and his own Extreme Speed to fall over in defeat.

Siebold scratched his chin. "Hmm, you can't seem to find your perfect ingredient, yet you still manage to stay afloat. Go Starmie!"

Then, a large purple star with a bright yellow torso and a red crystal in its center took the field. As it landed it shot out a quick Psychic attack, which eclipsed the room in a powerful purple glow.

Jella unfortunately couldn't handle the mystical blow form the psychic energy and fell over in a quick defeat.

"I'm sorry…Lucy." He cried out in a small plea as he returned to his Poké Ball.

Lucy once again took no haste in deciding her next champion. " Don't worry, Jellal; this one's for you! GO ERZA!"

As she finished, the mighty Gardevoir claimed her place on the field and immediately began an attack.

"It would be wise for you to surrender now while you still have the chance." Erza declared her threat with high intensity as she began her next move.

As Erza shot out her own Psystrike attack, Cana sat back with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hang on, they're both psychic?" Cana asked with concern.

Nigel replied. "Yea, and her other choice was Lapras which is water. Lucy's been put in a really bizarre situation, here."

He was completely right. Lucy's only remaining choices were not helping her cause. Even worse, she really had no options to revive because none of her previous Pokémon would be able to offer anything new after each of their own losses.

Despite this Erza was managing to hold her own. She had switched from using psychic attacks to powerful Fairy-type moves in order to deal more damage to the foe Starmie.

Although it took multiple attacks to get the job done Erza finally managed to defeat her foe in battle, which only left one Pokémon between Lucy and the Champion.

Lucy sighed with relief, but Erza kept her focused on the battle. "Hang on, Lucy. We're not out of the water just yet…" They both waited there in anticipation as Siebold summoned his last Pokémon.

"Go Barbaracle!" He cried as a large brown and orange crustacean with 4 arms and a body made of stone stood on hind legs as it entered the field. The large creature growled as Lucy shivered with fear.

"Ew, creepy! Beat that thing a.s.a.p., Erza!" She commanded.

"With pleasure." Erza laughed, and just like that she went to attack her new enemy.

Sadly, as she went to use her first fairy attack, the beam she casted was not powerful enough to feint the Barbaracle in one blow. Lucy gasped as the large water Pokémon then shot a large amount of stone spikes out from under the ground and into the standing Erza, who had no choice but to take the full attack head on.

"Barbaracle used Stone Edge!" Although Rock-Types aren't very special vs. Gardevoir, her regular defense stat is rather low, and in contrast the attack of both Stone Edge and its user are very high.

Also, Stone Edge is a uniquely powerful move in that it also causes Critical Hits to land more easily, which is all Siebold needed to defeat Erza and send her back to her trainer.

Lucy sadly collected Erza in her Poké ball and shivered as she grabbed her last hope. "Okay guys…I'm really counting on you…GO GRAY! JUVIA!"

Then her Lapras with a dual personality took the field, and right away Juvia called out in concern.

"Um, Lucy…we're both Water-types." The Water Mage said with fear as Gray continued the explanation for her.

"Yea, and this thing looks like a Rock-type, too…" Gray didn't have to be an expert to know that although their water halves canceled each other out; rock is super effective vs. ice.

Siebold smiled to his fearful opponent as she sat with anticipation. "Well, miss I hope you are ready for the main course. Barbaracle, use Stone Edge!"

Lucy took a large gulp and tried to stand tall as she sat in wait for the impending attack. "Okay…if you guys make it out okay, try using…"

The blonde trainer tried to suggest a new command, but she was interrupted as the large Rock/Water Pokémon made it's move. Unlike its fight with Gardevior, and unfortunately for Gruvia; Barbaracle had the higher Speed stat in its match up.

Lucy didn't even have time to react. Everything happened so fast before she fell to her knees and sank into pure depression; witnessing her worst nightmare come to life all over again.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Idk who's crueler; Siebold for beating up on my girl Lucy, or me for leaving this as a cliff hanger...29 tomorrow.
