Time for the chapter!
Discalimer: I don't own Pokemon or anything I refer to. I only own my OCs.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Crystal's POV
"Now! Double Solar Beam!" Lyra and I called out together. Megaree and Lyra's Meganium, Megapyon, unleashed the built up power sun rays in their petals and it morphed into a highly concentrated beam of sunlight, heading right towards Whitney's Clefairy and Maylene's Medicham. When the blast hit them, both of the pokémon were knocked out.
"No!" Whitney cried out. "Sissy! Do something! They fainted Clefairy!"
"Geez, get a hold of yourself!" Maylene yelled at her. "You're not a little kid! Grow up! I can't be your big sister all the time! Stand up for yourself!"
"Let's get out of here before it the battlefield gets flooded." I said as I recalled Megaree.
"I agree. She's a bigger crier than I am." Lyra nodded her head. She returned her pokémon as Maylene was shaking Whitney off of her leg. We walked off the battlefield and to the middle of the ballroom. Almost everyone was done with their very first battles. Just a few more and we'll be off to the rounds.
"Hey, Crys." Lyra tapped my shoulder. I looked at her. "Why did you choose me as your partner? I'm sure there are plenty of people you want as your partner."
"The only people I want to be paired with are my friends, but I'm sure everyone has someone else they have in mind and I have never battled with you before, so I am sure that this would be a nice time to try it out." I explained.
"Wow! That's so nice! Not many people are willing to be paired up with me for anything!" Lyra exclaimed.
"Don't look too much into it," I told her. "We have some time to rest before the next part comes up."
I think she said something after that, but I zoned her out. I just can't get my mind off the evidence I found a while ago. I know it was a bit wrong of me to go looking at it so much, but I couldn't leave it alone.
During one of my classes, I was finding the DNA of a Sentret, but it turned up human DNA, not pokémon DNA. I looked at the sample again and saw that it was a strand of Lyra's hair. It must have landed somewhere and the data was entered into the computer. Anyway, it said that her DNA was practically the same as mines.
I was shocked by this and defying everything I believe in to not do anything illegal, I looked at Lyra's history. I learned so much about her, but her family was a bit hazy since she was adopted and those records were encrypted. I'm not advanced enough to do those types of things. I learned about her history about her journey though. Coincidentally, our paths were different so we never crossed.
My mother never mentioned anything about a sister or anything and I really want to ask her about it, but I don't want to until I'm definite about our possible relation. Lyra has the same birthday as me as well as the same hometown. I could access the hospital for the birth records, but that seemed too Blue-ish. I just have to settle on figuring this out on my own. I just hope no one else knows about this. I would hate for Lyra to find out.
Though she might as well be, she is like a sister to me. I know we haven't really been that close, but in truth, we are. In class, we stand up for each other whenever those fangirls accuse us of something. She would tell Quartz off while I would make Mercury feel inferior. I know it's wrong, but it's right. I never really showed myself hanging around Lyra that much, but I do. She helps me relax if and when I need it and I help her study by tutoring her.
True, she might not be the most powerful, but I'm not either. We're not the best at battling, I get that, but she's like the other half of me who I never got to meet.
Scarlett's POV
I looked up at the screen again. Only half of the people were finished. We still have a bit of time left. I spotted Mason walked by with his partner, Dan. I looked over at Ash and saw that he was busy with his own thing.
If I'm going to be married to Mason, I might as well tell him my secret. I sneaked away from Ash and followed Mason. I found him near one of the tables and he was alone. I guess Dan went off somewhere.
"Hey." I greeted him.
"Hi." he nodded back when he spotted me.
"Isn't this party nice?" I asked him.
"It is. Glad I picked this school to go to." he said.
"Yeah and when it's over, we'll still have each other." I said quietly.
"That's another good thing." Mason nodded.
"But before that happens, I need to tell you something about me." I said. "Sorry if it's sudden."
"It's no problem. Tell me. What is it?" Mason asked.
I bit my bottom lip. I don't know how to just tell him this so I grabbed a napkin from the table and a nearby pen that got abandoned. I quickly jot down an address on it. I held it out to Mason. "Here; show this to my father and tell him I gave it to you. Bring your parents. The three of you need to know this."
"Um okay." he accepted the napkin from me. Suddenly, I got another text on my pokégear. I looked at it and saw the message.
From: Dad
To: Ashley
I know you're enjoying the gala and all, but I just have a favor to ask you. And this was not my idea, trust me. I know you and Mason have already agreed to the marriage, but just in case it doesn't work out somehow (which I don't believe in since I know you two go along so well) you should have someone as a backup. You know? A fiancé in case you and Mason don't work out somehow or something happens. So yeah. Your other potential candidate will meet you on the balcony near the front door on the second floor.
I sighed. Of course. But I'm not complaining. As long as it's not Vincent. I excused myself from Mason and walked towards the meeting spot. People were still battling so I still have some time. I walked out on the balcony and waiting for my other possible groom-to-be.
Gary's POV
I sighed. Gramps just texted me about a marriage meeting. I couldn't believe he picked now of all times. But I agreed anyway and went to meeting spot he said where she would be. I was able to get Blue off of my case for this, but I'm sure she'd get back on later. I stopped right outside the door leading to the balcony. My eyes widen as my lips parted in a small gasp.
There, on the balcony, dressed in pink with blonde hair paled by the moon, was the girl who I never thought would agree to anything like this. She was staring out at the moon, making her red eyes gleam like her father's, but I know that it's not her true eye color. No. They should be the same eyes as my best friend with her hair dark as the night sky she's looking into.
The memories I thought I have forgotten, they're coming back to me now. All the good times we had and all the bad. The time where we vowed to be friends together and never drift apart. Man, that seems to be so long ago. How funny it is to see such a simple promise be snatched away.
Ashley, Scarlett. I don't know what to call her in this instance. She turned towards the door. She couldn't see me that well so she couldn't know it was me. The curtains on the door fluttered with the wind so it was hard to see through them to me. Her face was tanned, like Ash, but it didn't show that same fun he had. I know that she didn't remember any of us. And she shouldn't. As much as it pains me, the truth must be hidden. Until it is time.
I turned away from the door and pressed my back against one of the walls. My bangs covered my eyes as I pulled out my pokégear.
From: Gary
To: Gramps
Sorry Gramps, but I can't do it. I don't care if you beg me, but I am not going through with this meeting. But I want a meeting with you. And during that, don't even try to lie to me about anything. I want the truth.
With that, I closed my pokégear and walked away. I'm not losing my friend again.
Emerald's POV
"Wow! That was harder than I expected!" Yellow exclaimed as we walked off of our battlefield, finished with our battle.
"Hey, come on. We just won against two Elite Four members!" I cheered her up.
"Well, you are right. That was a plus side." she nodded.
"Now, I guess we should meet up with the others. Looks like almost all of them are done." I pointed up to the screen. It's true. All of our friends, Ash's gang, and the ranger kids we made friends with all passed. Wait, the rangers actually won their battles?!
"You guys actually won?!" Gold exclaimed once we walked up to them.
"Don't be rude!" Blue slapped him upside the head.
"Um, didn't you just say you got your Partner Pokémon recently?" White asked them.
"We did, but it looks like they're already strong!" Kate exclaimed.
"Lucky for us then. Huh?" Kellyn rubbed the back of his head.
"Guess so." I shrugged. I shouldn't tell them that Blue made me give the ranger kids we're friends with more powerful pokémon than the others got because she wanted to see how they would battle, but they seem to be doing well so far.
"Hey, where have you been?" X asked. I looked at who he was talking to and saw it was Scarlett. She was just coming to join our group.
"I was just getting some fresh air." she answered.
"Just like last time?" X raised a brow. I swear, Scarlett turned her name when he said that.
"Argh! Please! If you're going to be that way, do it somewhere else! It's disgusting!" for once, that wasn't me. It was Max. The 'May's little brother' Max. Not the Max who sprouted wings and flew off with her daughter.
"Better yet, stop it completely. I'm serious. You're making me gag." I told X and Scarlett.
"Have either of you ever heard of respecting your elders?" May slapped the both of us upside the head.
"Ever heard of being nice to your little brother?" Max retorted.
"And where have you been?" Blue spoke up. I looked up and saw Blue glaring at Gary who also just walked up to us.
"Nowhere." he answered. He seems different somehow. Usually, he would be more annoyed at Blue.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen!" Charles announced. "The preliminaries are over and the pairs who are going on to the rounds are determined! Now, let's give the cards a shuffle and see the bracket!" he threw his hand towards the screen and all of the cards with our pictures on them flipped over. They all came together in a deck and they all went back out. They ended up on the bottom and top of the screen where there were lines connecting them. They all flipped over.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" I heard Scarlett mumbled. I looked at her card and saw that it was right next to Jade and Quartz.
"And it looks like we're on the other side of the screen." X told her. "Maybe we can see each other in the finals."
"I don't know. After all, she's paired up with me. She could battle me." Ash pointed out.
"Well, she is going to battle you anyhow." Serena spoke up. She was X's partner.
"What do you mean?" White asked.
"When it's going to the split partners, each partner will have to battle against each other," Lack-Two explained. "Or was it partners from other pairs go against one another?
"Then that means we might have to go against each other." Whi-Two looked at her sister.
"If you can make it past everyone else. Do you see the rest of the cards?" Silver pointed out.
"Lance? Satoshi? Steven and Cynthia?! We're never going to get past them!" Yellow exclaimed.
"Just believe in yourself. We can get through." I reassured her.
"Emerald, look at who we're against first." she told me. I looked up and saw it was Opal and Violet. "Oh. Yeah. She does have a grudge against you. Hey! And after that, we might go against Lance and Clair!"
"It's official! We're dead! Everyone, it has been good to know you all." Yellow complained.
"Cheer up, Yellow!" Ash patted her back. Rather hard though she since was about to fall forward. "You'll get through it! I know you can!"
"T-Thanks, Ash." I could see Yellow blush. Oh, not another one!
Normal POV
Scarlett and Ash made their way to their assigned battlefield as the others did as well. Already waiting for them on the battlefield were Jade and Quartz.
"How cute. Couldn't handle X and now you're going after Opal's target? She's going to be mad. And you won't like her mad." Jade taunted.
"Just wait till I wipe the floor with you." Scarlett retorted. "Rio, show her what you got!"
"May I go after Scarlett?" Opal asked Violet.
"Why would you want to do that?" she asked her. Opal pointed to Scarlett's battlefield. "Save it for later." Violet told her. "We have Yellow to deal with here."
"White, how long do you think this is going to take?" Whi-Two asked her sister.
"Not long. Trust me. Ebony and Ivory won't stand up against to me and you." she answered.
"You mean 'you and me'." Whi-Two corrected.
"Is this really a time for a grammar lesson?!" White shouted.
"Alright, where are the sad saps who are stuck with us?" Blue looked around for their opponents.
"What's with those flashing lights?" Gary asked her. Blue looked up ahead to see a crowd of people with cameras taking pictures of a pair coming through the crowd. They parted to reveal Sabrina and Bryce in their costumes.
"Let's get this over with." Blue sighed. Sabrina was not one of her favorite Gym Leaders due to an incident involving ice and handcuffs. And the ice part also made Bryce not one of her favorites either.
"I don't see your problem with them." Gary shrugged. "Sure they're annoying with their acting careers, but they're not all that bad."
"You don't them like I do." Blue sighed.
"Now! Use Shadow Ball!" X called out.
"Dazzling Gleam!" Serena yelled out next to him.
Lasma and Sylveon charged up their attacks as their opponents, a Heliolisk and a Vivillon, tried to get up from the previous attacks, but they failed to notice the new ones heading their way. Unable to dodge in time, they both fainted on the spot.
"Guess we couldn't beat them." Alexa sighed as she returned Heliolisk.
"Guess not. But we're not done yet." Viola smirked. "Let's go!"
"One more turn?" X looked at Serena.
"Let's do it!" she nodded.
"Haha!" Black laughed. "And they're done for the count!"
"Aw! We lost already?" Iris complained.
"Cheer up!" Alder patted her on the back. A rather too hard though. "You gave it your all."
"You know, you're not so bad." Lack-Two told Black as they returned their pokémon.
"Not bad?! I will be the greatest! And to prove it to you, I will win this tournament!" Black exclaimed.
"Still don't understand why White likes him." Lack-Two muttered.
"What was that?" Black asked.
"Nothing." Lack-Two looked away.
"I heard that!" White yelled from over her battlefield.
"Please don't use your billiard cue." Silver told Gold as they both took out another pokéball after returning their first pokémon.
"Why?" Gold looked at him. "You're not the boss here."
"If you do, then it would draw attention to who you really are." Silver explained. "And it looked stupid."
"My billiard cue is not stupid!" Gold exclaimed.
"It does." Silver said as he called out his next pokémon, Weavile.
"I'll show you!" Gold used his billiard cue and shot out his next pokémon, Aibo.
"I tried to warn him." Silver muttered.
"You two are so strange." Liza commented.
"Sis, we're psychic. I think we're more strange than them." her twin, Tate pointed out.
"You're right." Liza nodded. "Now! Let's-!"
"Get them!" Tate finished.
"Is it just me, or are they like us?" Brendan asked May.
"One a coordinator, the other a really strong Trainer. Yep. They do." May nodded.
"Now! Milotic, Hydro Pump!" Wallace commanded.
"Kingdra! Dragon Pulse!" Juan ordered.
"But to be fair, they can both be Coordinators." Brendan pointed out. "And Gym Leaders."
"True. But let's finish this battle first!" May exclaimed. "Venusaur! Petal Dance!"
"Muddy Water, Swampert!" Brendan yelled out.
"Is it just me or is it weird a Kalos Professor is partnered with one from the Orange Islands?" Lucas asked Dawn.
"They must know each other. There are Professors, as you said, after all." Dawn pointed out.
"True. But I wonder how much they know each other." Lucas commented.
"You know, I think they're totally right for each other!" Dawn squealed.
"You do know that they're married, right?" Lucas sweatdropped.
"They are?!" Dawn exclaimed.
"HYDRO CANNON! HYDRO CANNON! HYDRO CANNON!" Barry yelled.
"Um, Barry? Aren't you going a bit overboard here? After all, this is just the second round." Max sweatdropped.
"I don't care! Take that, Dad!" Barry pointed at his opponent.
Palmer just laughed. "That's my boy! Dragonite, Wing Attack!"
"Dad, maybe you can help me out here." Max sighed as he looked at his other opponent.
"Sorry, son, but that family is just too out of control for anyone to slap some sense into them." Norman sighed. "Slaking! Retaliation!"
"Gallade! Psycho Cut!" Max ordered. A battle between father and son. How nice is that?
"Artemis! Apollo! Double Discharge!" Kate and Kellyn yelled out together.
"No! Hydro!" Keith cried out. Poor Hydro got fried at the powerful electric attack hit him, fainting him. "This all your fault, Mike! You just have to faint right off the bat! He yelled at the raven haired, green eyed boy next to him.
"Um, it's Gavin. I am in your class..." the boy quietly muttered.
"Rin! Volt Tackle!" Summer called out.
"Whoa! No way! How does your Pichu know that move?!" Ben was surprised.
"It's a secret!" Summer teased as Rin barreled into the opponent, knocking them out.
"Let's show them! Len! Thunderbolt!" Ben called out. His Pichu, with a ukulele on his back, charged up electricity and quickly fired it at their opponent, fainting them.
"You know. You could've gone a little bit easy on us." Rhythmi complained as her Solosis, Telepath, fainted from Rin.
"We're no good at battling anyways." Isaac shrugged as he returned his Porygon, Logy.
"Now! Piplup! Bubble Beam!" Lucy yelled.
"And Treecko! Absorb!" Brent shouted.
Both pokémon did as told and quickly knocked out their pokémon.
"What?!" Rose yelled.
"How were they able to knock out our pokémon so quickly?!" Bonnie complained.
"No matter! We still have some fight in us!" Rose said, determined.
"Let's get them, cousin!" Lucy exclaimed.
"You know it, cousin!" Brent exclaimed as well.
"We work well as a team!" Lyra exclaimed.
"We do." Crystal nodded.
"But you're going to be out of the running." Gold said from the other side of the battlefield.
"We'll see about that!" Lyra said, determined.
"Go! Honchkrow!" Silver called out his first pokémon.
"Starting so soon? Okay. May the best trainer win." Crystal said as she pulled out her pokéball.
"See, Yellow? We survived!" Emerald told his cousin.
"Yes, but we're against two Dragon-type trainers now." Yellow pointed out.
"I'm sure we can take out at least one of their pokémon each." Emerald said.
"I hope." Yellow sighed.
"Ready to battle?" Lance asked, determination dancing in his eyes.
"We won't go easy on you." Clair chimed in.
"Bring it on!" Emerald exclaimed.
"Yeah! We'll do our best!" Yellow exclaimed, the determination also dancing in her eyes. Little do they know.
"Hey! Look at that! We're against two Champions!" Dan pointed at his and Mason's opponents.
"Who would've guessed." Mason mentally rolled his eyes. How fun is it going up against his parents who are both crazy strong?
"Hope you boys are ready." Cynthia said.
"I'm sure this won't last long." Steven added.
"I wouldn't bet on that!" Mason exclaimed. He's determined to show his parents what he got. And he needs to show his parents that note Scarlett gave him.
After several rounds of battling where rivals went against rivals, friends against friends, parents against children, and family against unknown family, it was down to the round before the quarterfinals. All but one of those battles has been fought already and the pairs splitting up have almost been determined. X, Serena, Blue, Gary, Mason, and Dan. The only pairs left to battle were Scarlett and Ash against Professor Oak and Satoshi.
Scarlett's POV
Okay. I'm almost there. I just need to defeat the world-leading researcher on pokémon and my own father. This'll be easy. Oh, who am I kidding? We're doomed.
"Don't look so down." Ash nudged me. "We can defeat them."
"You sure? You've seen Satoshi battle." I countered.
"True, but under his tutelage, I'm sure we can beat him." he said.
"Maybe you're right." I pondered.
"That's the spirit! Let's try our best!" Ash pumped his fist into the air. I sweatdropped. He's an energetic one.
The battlefield we were battling on was the one right under the screen and everyone in the building was watching it. No pressure, right?
I took a deep breath. So far, I've only used Rio and Sol. I have yet to use Mew. I can't really risk it, but X showed off his Xerneas who he somehow caught. For some reason, Blue had the Three Birds of Kanto with her and used them for all of her battles. I don't even want to know how she caught them.
Then during the battle between Gold, Silver, Crystal, and Lyra, Gold called out Raikou, Silver called out Entei, and Crystal called out Suicune. You can tell Lyra was surprised. I'm surprised she didn't faint on the spot when she saw them.
Emerald summoned Rayquaza somehow and I don't even know how that little guy was able to. White had Reshiram with her and Black had Zekrom with him. And they both used them. Whi and Lack both had a Kyurem, just in different forms, Whi had White, Lack had Black. Where the hell are they getting these legendary pokémon?!
When they showed them off, you can tell everyone just dropped everything and stare. So much for staying undercover. How the hell are they supposed to explain their pokémon to everyone? Arceus, they're screwed.
The only ones of us who haven't shown a legendary yet were Yellow and I. Yellow was eliminated early. I wouldn't be surprised if she did have a legendary on her. Who knows? Maybe she has Mewtwo. Does she?
I'm getting very off topic now. Let's get back to the battle.
"Dragonite, go!" Professor Oak called out.
"Aero! Come on out!" Dad called out. Oh. He's talking now.
"Charizard! I choose you!" Ash tossed his pokéball out.
"Rio! Set for battle!" I called her out.
We all called out our pokémon the same time. When Aero came out, I could see Ash visibly shaking.
"Ash? Are you okay?" I asked him.
"I-I'm fine!" he said quickly. "I think we should defeat that Aerodactyl first!"
"Geez, what's his deal?" I asked out loud.
He's afraid of Aero due to a traumatizing experience with an Aerodactyl while he was on his journey. Rio explained. I looked at her. His Charizard just told me. By the way, Charizard wants the first hit at Aero.
"Pull yourself together, man!" I slapped Ash upside the head. "We got a battle going on!"
"Right!" Ash straightened up.
"My, my. I see you're ready." Professor Oak commented.
"Rio! Start off with a Dragon Pulse! Aim for Dragonite!" I commanded.
"Dragonite! Thunderbolt at Lucario!" Professor Oak called out.
"Aero! Ancient Power at Charizard!" Dad ordered.
"Charizard! Flamethrower!" Ash yelled out. Everyone looked at him. Is he crazy?! Does he know that it's not going to be effective on Aero?! Charizard also looked at him like he was crazy, but he complied anyway.
Just when I thought he was finally using his brain, Ash just had to call out the most idiotic move in this situation.
Rio parted her feet shoulder length from each other and held her paws together in front of her. Slowly, a royal blue dragon aura started to appear in it. At the same time, Charizard closed its mouth as flames started to curl around its mouth. Dragonite sparked with yellow electricity before launching it at Rio. Aero flapped its wings once and several pieces of the battlefield rose from the ground, outlined in purple, and flew towards Charizard.
Rio finally fired the Dragon Pulse, digging her feet in the ground as royal blue rings clashed with the Thunderbolt heading her way. Charizard flew up and dodged the Ancient Power before unleashing the Flamethrower at Aero midair.
The Dragon Pulse and Thunderbolt collided with each other, creating a cloud of smoke. I shielded my eyes from the smoke as some of it blew over here. I spotted Aero flying above the cloud to where Charizard was. Suddenly, Dragonite also sped out of the cloud of smoke. It was two against one. Dragonite and Aero against Charizard. This is bad. Ash can't handle both of them by himself! I need to help him out somehow.
"Giga Impact!"
"Hyper Beam!"
"Charizard! Never give up!" Ash yelled. A bright light appeared on both Charizard and Ash. The light on Charizard appeared from the collar he wore with the Charizardite Y in it. Ribbons of red light collided with the orange light ribbons coming from Ash's wrist where he slapped his hand over. "Mega Evolve!"
A shield of red and orange energy covered Charizard before it broke, revealing him in his Mega Evolved state. Charizard roared as the Mega Evolution symbol appeared in front of him.
"Now! Triple attack! Wing Attack! Slash! Dragon Tail!" Ash yelled out. I blinked. Is that even possible? To my surprise, Charizard's claws glowed white as they grew longer while his tail lit up with a blue color and his wings glowed with a white light. He then charged into the attacks Dragonite and Aero were charging up. Charizard pushed Dragonite away in its Giga Impact and flew through Aero's Hyper Beam, tackling Aero himself.
They both struggled standing airborne, but they were.
Alright Rio, he shouldn't have all the fun! Jump up and use Aura Sphere! One for each of them! I told her.
On it! From the cloud of smoke that still hasn't been blown away, Rio jumped up, smoke covering her until her outreached arms, an Aura Sphere in each paw, collided with Dragonite and Aero who were next to each other. The blast blew the smoke under away, showing Rio landing on her feet. Charizard slowly hovered before resting on the ground next to her. Dragonite and Aero fell to the ground with a loud thud. They may be hurt, but they were still able to fight.
"Water Pulse!" Professor Oak called out.
"Fire Fang!" Dad ordered. Dragonite stood up and produced a blue orb of water in its paws. Once it was big enough, it was launched towards Charizard. At the same time, Aero forced itself up and with flames curling around its mouth, shot towards Rio.
Aero was so fast, Rio didn't have time to react as he charged at her with jaws surrounded with fire. Aero chomped down on Rio's arm. Rio was pushed back several feet and closed her eyes as Aero bit even harder. Charizard was distracted with Rio in trouble, he didn't notice the orb of water splashing on him until it did.
Charizard's tail flame was severely doused, but it wasn't out yet. Just smaller. He was soaked all over, however.
"Rio! Dark Pulse him off!" I ordered.
Get the hell off of me! Rio held up her free paw, already pulsing with a dark aura, and fired several black and purple rings at Aero, pushing him off. When he was off, I could see burn and bite marks on Rio's arm.
"Are you guys okay?" Ash asked. Charizard gave a thumbs-up, but it was weak.
And just when I thought that Eevee was the worse pain in the ass I ever met. Now it's Aero! Damn fossil… Rio complained.
"Let's get focused here." I told her. Charizard and Rio were already weak from just one hit. They are so strong. But Dragonite and Aero are also weak from the attacks we pummeled them with.
Suddenly, both Dragonite and Aero flew into the air. Charizard went after them. Damn it. This leaves Rio at a disadvantage on the ground.
"Flamethrower!" Ash and Professor Oak yelled at the same time.
"Fire Fang!" Dad commanded.
Charizard and Dragonite both launched a stream of fire at each other, canceling each other out, but Aero flew in and bit Charizard hard on his wing with that Fire Fang. Even though it shouldn't be that effective, it did a lot of damage. The next thing I saw was Charizard falling from the air and landing next to Rio.
Yep. He's down for the count. Rio confirmed as Charizard went back to his original state. Ash returned him and threw out another pokéball.
"Gre!" his Greninja popped out. Suddenly, he was surrounded by a whirlpool, changing his appearance.
"Rio! Aura Sphere!" I ordered.
"Greninja, Water Shuriken!" Ash commanded. Both pokémon did as told and quickly fired their attack at the still airborne pokémon. The attacks brought the two pokémon down to the ground, but not out just yet.
"Extremespeed!" I told Rio. She disappeared in a blur and Dragonite looked like he was being tackled by something invisible, but it was really Rio.
"Night Shade!" Ash commanded Greninja. Greninja held one of his webbed hands out and a purple sword of energy appeared in it. Greninja rushed towards Aero and slashed him several times with the Night Slash.
Rio reappeared in front of me as she finished with her assault. When Greninja leaped back in front of Ash, Aero finally fainted.
"Aero, return," Dad called him back. "Go, Vee!"
Does he hate me or something?! Rio exclaimed.
"Just deal with it." I grunted at her. When Dad threw out his pokéball, Vee popped out as an Eevee.
"Eevee!" Vee cheered.
"Rio! Use Aura Sphere on Vee!" I told her.
Round Two, you bastard! Rio growled as she charged up an Aura Sphere in her paws. When she fired it, Vee quickly changed into a Vaporeon and turned into a puddle. I could hear gasps from everyone around us.
"What the hell?!" Ash exclaimed.
"Focus!" I yelled at him. He flinched at how loud my voice was. Okay, maybe I went too far that time.
"Right! Greninja! Night Slash on Dragonite!" he commanded. Greninja summoned his purple sword again and started towards Dragonite.
"Thunderbolt!" Professor Oak shouted. Greninja tried to stop, but it was too late, he ran right into Dragonite just as he was firing his attack. Greninja got shocked, but Dragonite didn't get out unscathed either. Both pokémon fainted. Greninja got out just from a critical hit and a super effective attack.
Professor Oak recalled his fainted pokémon and called out his next pokémon, an Arcanine.
"Return." Ash sighed as he returned his Greninja. I heard him yell a bit when Greninja got shocked. I bet he's also really exhausted at this point. "Seem like this is all up to you." he looked at me.
"Rio! Extremespeed!" I ordered Rio.
"You too Arcanine!" Professor Oak shouted. His Arcanine disappeared in a blur at the same time as Rio.
"Swift!" Dad yelled. Vee stood up as a Vaporeon and changed into an Eevee. He jumped up and flicked his tail back and forth, sending waves of stars after Rio. Unable to dodge them, Rio got pelted by the stars as Arcanine tackled into her over and over again.
I'm done for! Rio said dramatically as she fell over, fainted. I rolled my eyes as I returned her.
I'm up against two super powerful trainers who still have one pokémon each. Neither of them had had a single attack land on them. I guess there's only one option.
"Please. I'm counting on you." I pulled out my pink pokéball and whispered to it. I planted a light kiss and it before throwing it out. "Come on out!"
"Yay! I get to battle!" Mew cheered as she popped out in a shower of pink sparks.
"No way!" I heard Ash gasp.
"Remarkable." Professor Oak stared at her in awe.
I only saw my father smirk. Okay so maybe he did see this coming.
"Mew! Sheer Cold!" I told her.
"Welcome to a new Ice Age!" she winked as she summoned up a wave of unbelievably cold air. I shielded myself from a freezing wind that swept over the battlefield. When it died down, Vee was completely frozen and fainted while Arcanine was unaffected. He must have used Extremespeed to escape it.
"Use Flamethrower!" Professor Oak commanded as Dad returned his pokémon.
"Guillotine!" I shouted.
"Off with your head! Just kidding!" Mew shrieked as a green aura surrounded her. A pair of claws appeared in front of her as she flew towards Arcanine. His Flamethrower didn't affect Mew at all as he was hit by the Guillotine attack, fainting from the instant knockout.
"Yay! I won!" Mew cheered.
"U-um, and that concludes our final Tag Battle." Charles announced while slackjawed. I wouldn't blame him.
I returned Mew and found everyone staring at me. "What's the big deal?" I looked innocently at them. Then the lights went out.
Oh my! I wonder what's going to happen! Just kidding. I already know, but you don't.
I know that most of you would think Mew was way too OP at the end, but to be fair, she can learn any kind of move and those two moves she used were one-hit KO moves.
I'm still not so sure about writing battles, but I did do my best!
And how would've thought that all of the Mangang (thanks for the name keaton-furman-prower!) would have teh mascots of their games? Seriously, who didn't see that coming? But don't worry! I won't have them use the legendaries all the time. This is a once in a blue moon event. Or a once in a total solar eclipse event. That was for my readers in America.
And this has been bothering me for a bit, but I haven't been able to fit in any where so here's an extra scene that doesn't relate to this arc at all!
Ash: Hey, haven't we seen you two before?
Dawn: Now that you mention it, they do look familiar.
Kellyn: Who? Us?
Ben: I"m pretty sure we never saw any of you before we came to this school.
Dawn: Wait! I know! Back in Sinnoh! The Riolu adn Heatran!
Ash: You're right! But I thought you two were already rangers, not student.
Kellyn: Oh. You must mean the Top Rangers Kellyn adn Ben. Same name, but totally differnt people.
Ben: Yeah. Kellyn is my second cousin's half-sister's step-uncle's ex-wife's second cousin's step-mother's half-nephew. And Ben is his half-brother's cousin.
Kellyn: So it's like we are sorta related, but we're still different people.
Ash: Oh...
Dawn: That makes... sense?
Kellyn: A lot of people mess us up with them, but that explaination always clears things up.
And there we go! Another plot hole fixed! Not the best way to do it, but it makes sense for now!
Anyways, thanks for reading and leave a review if you like it!
