Pokemon: Return of a Hero
Ladies and Gentlemen! In one corner we have the trainer from Pallet town Kanto, the star of the show: ASH KETCHUM! In the other corner we have the newest Kalos Queen herself Serena Amour (I now know that her real last name is Yvonne, sorry but we're stuck with Amour, just note that I have realized my mistake and it won't happen again, probably) This battle is going to be the ninth round of the International Champion Tournament. If Ash wins this battle he will have to face only one other person: Either Paul, Ash's rival from the Sinnoh region, or the mysterious Black, a trainer wearing a black cloak that made it so that no one could see his face, even scarier the guy had only ever needed to use two pokemon: Darkrai and Latios, and the fact that said pokemon were legendaries, that did not help matters... yeah Paul's toast. With that out of the way let's get on with the fic.
Chapter XXXVI
Ash awoke with a groan. He had made the dumb mistake to sleep facedown and now his ribs were very sore. He looked around to see that the others in his room were still out cold. Ash leaned back for a moment and just stared at the ceiling. Then with a grunt he sat up with enough force that he exited the bed and was on his feet. He went to the bathroom to take a shower then when he exited he got changed into his normal clothes.
Once his clothes were on he reached for his cloak and pinned it to his jacket so that it hung in a similar fashion as that of a cape. Pikachu stretched as he woke up. The electric mouse walked over to Ash and got onto the trainer's shoulder. "Ready buddy?" Asked Ash. Pikachu smiled and nodded his head. Ash grabbed his other five pokeballs then left to start walking to the stadium for his battle for round nine.
As Ash walked he decided to stop by the Pokemon Center to check on Jessie, James, and Meowth. When he entered he saw the three laying in their bed's looking bored out of their minds. When they saw Ash their expressions immediately brightened. The visit was short, They talked for a little bit but then Ash had to leave, before he left he told the, to turn on the TV at noon to watch his battle. The three nodded to show that they understood and would do that.
After the visit Ash continued his walk to Arena B. When he got there he was met by all of his male companions. When he asked where the girls were they told him that they were on the other side with Serena. With a nod Ash entered the arena and began walking to the stadium where he would have to battle Serena. As he walked down the hallway he was stopped by someone. Ash was surprised to see Cynthis waiting for him.
"Hey Cynthia." Said Ash greeing the champion of Sinnoh. Cynthia smiled warmly in response to Ash's greeting. Ash was about to continue walking when Cynthia stopped him. She grabbed the young trainer's shoulders and pulled him in for a kiss. When they parted Cynthia smiled at Ash. "For luck." Said the Champion warmly. Ash smiled and nodded his head. Turning to where the arena was Ash continued walking onto the field.
As he entered the arena e could hear the announcer begin his announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen! Trainers of all ages! Welcome to te first battle of round nine. In this battle we have the hero from Pallet town: Ash Ketchum! Battling the Kalos Queen herself: Serena Amour!" Boomed the announcer who was replied with a very loud cheer coming from the crowd as Ash and Serena entered the field.
When the entered their positions the referee held up his flags. "This will be a six vs. six pokemon battle with no substitutions, trainers send out your first pokemon!" Said the referee. Ash and Serena reached for their first pokemon. "Donphan I choose you!" Said Ash sending out his ground typed elephant/tire pokemon. "Pangoro I choose you!" Said Serena sending out her dark and fighting typed four-armed panda pokemon.
"And now for the field, this time the choices are: Ice, Steel, Normal, and Rock!" Declared the announcer. On the screen were four tiles, one light blue, one gray, one while, and one brown. After a moment three tiles disappeared leaving only the light blue one remaining. "Ice field it is!" Announced the announcer. Suddenly the entire field was coated in ice. Donphan and Pangoro's field slipped around for amoment as they tried to balance themselves.
"Every time three pokemon faint the field will change, so once three pokemon have fainted, we'll move to a different field, then at six it'll change to another, then at nine the final field." Explained the announcer. Ash pondered this new information, this most likely meant that they would have to face off on each of the listed fields. Ash would need to keep a note of that for future reference. "Battle begin!" Shouted the announcer.
"Donphan let's take the lead with a Gunk shot!" Instructed Ash. Donphan fired a burst of poison at Pangoro. The fighting type waited for Serena's orders. "Pangoro counter with Dark pulse!" Ordered Serena. Pangoro fired the special dark type at the incoming gunk. The two moves collided causing a purple explosion. Both pokemon shielded their faces to avoid the gunk from the explosion. "Donphan use Rollout!" Shouted Ash.
Donphan curled into a ball and rolled forwards at Pangoro at a slow speed at first but was picking up pace. "Pangoro counter the Rollout with back to back Bullet punches!" Commanded Serena. Pangoro's fist began glowing a bright silver as Donphan sped towards him. The bullet punch and Rollout collided and the two bounced of eachother. But Donphan didn't stop and neither did Pangoro.
The tire elephant just sped towards the fighting panda again and the two clashed again. It was hard for Pangoro to keep solid ground and each collision pushed Pangoro back little by little, but when Donphan came through with the fifth and most powerful Rollout it was too much for the dark type's Bullet punch to handle and he was knocked back by the rock type move. "Donphan use Earthquake!" Ordered Ash.
Donphan stomped the ground sending powerful tremors straight towards Pangoro. "Pangoro use Stone edge!" Instructed. Serena. Pangoro hit the ground with his fist causing pillars of bright blue stone to errupt from the ground around Donphan. Both moves collided with their targets. The two pokemon were shaking from exaustion. "Donphan let's finish Pangoro off with Head smash!" Commanded Ash.
The ground typed elephant charged at Pangoro ready to use an extremely powerful, and dangerous, rock type move. It was dangerous because Donphan would take fifty percent of the damage he dealt as recoil. "Pangoro use Sky uppercut!" Shouted Serena. As Donphan came flying at Pangoro, the dark type reared his arm back and swung his fist up to hit Donphan square in the jaw.
"Move Donphan!" Said Ash. Donphan moved to the side just enough so that Sky uppercut would miss but Head smash wouldn't. Donphan's head collided with Pangoro at full force. Donphan winced in pain as he took the recoil damage from his attack. Pangoro just stood there for a moment before going to his knees then falling face first into the ice. "Pangoro is unable to battle!" Declared the referee waving his flags.
Serena recalled Pangoro to his pokeball. Then she reached for the next one on her waist. "Meganium I choose you!" Said Serena sending out her grass type pokemon. "Donphan use Earthquake!" Ordered Ash. Donphan stomped the ground sending ttremors towards Meganium. "Meganium use Vine whip!" Commanded Serena. Meganium sent a pair of vines straight at Donpahn. The collision of the two moves was brutal.
The Earthqauke shook up Meganium and the Vine whip knocked Donphan off balance. "Donphan use Rollout!" Instructed Ash. Donphan curled into a ball and charged at Meganium. "Meganium use Iron tail!" Shouted Serena. Meganium's tail turned into metal then smashed it into the incoming tire elephant hard enough to stop the Rollout attack. The force of Iron tail was too much for Donphan to handle. The poor ground type fainted before he could even hit the ice.
Ash recalled Donphan to it's pokeball. Ash reached for the pokeball on his waist. "Goodra I choose you!" Said Ash as he sne out his first fully evolved psuedo-legendary pokemon. Serena smiled seeing one of her old travelling companion. "Meganium use Toxic!" Ordered Serena. Meganium fired a burst of toxic sludge so quickly that Goodra didn't have enough time to respond. When the move hit Goodra the dragon type's cheeks turned a deep shade of purple.
Goodra groaned as the poison ebbed away at his health. Ash would have to think fast to keep Goodra from losing much more health. Then Ash knew what to do. "Goodra use Rain dance!" Commanded Ash. With a groan Goodra created clouds above the stadium. Goodra looked up weakly. Everyone heard thunder as it began to rain. Goodra smiled as the rain hit pired on top of him and the purple disappeared from his cheeks.
May was surprised to say the least, just a moment ago Goodra looked deathly sick and now he looked fine. "Goodra's ability is Hydration, all status conditions, such as poisoning will be cured." Explained Clemont. May nodded her head in understanding. Then the two turned their heads back to the battle so that they wouldn't miss anything. "Meganium use Solar beam!" Instructed Serena.Meganium tried to take in as much energy as possible.
"Goodra use Bide!" Shouted Ash. Goodra began glowing as he awaited for Meganium's attack. Both pokemon stood there glowing. When Meganium's Solar beam was ready she fired with all of her power. Goodra took the blunt of the attack full force. "Now Goodra, blast her!" Said Ash. Goodra fired a condensed white beam from his mouth at Meganium. Too tired to dodge Meganium stood there wide eyed as bide hit her.
Meganium stood there a moment not moving. Then she swayed from one side to another, and collapsed to the ground and fainted. "Meganium is unable to battle!" Declared the referee. Serena recalled Meganium to her pokeball. Suddenly the field began to change, it transformed from from a field of ice to a field of steel. Ash remembered that the field changes once three pokemon faint the field changes, Pangoro, Donphan, and now Meganium were now all unable to battle.
"Jolteon I choose you!" Said Serena sending out her second evolved form of Eevee. Ash was surprised. "You caught another Eevee?" Asked Ash in surprise. Serena smiled and nodded. "Goodra use Dragon breath!" Shouted Ash. Goodra took a deep breath and fired the dragon typed attack at Serena's Jolteon. "Jolteon use Shadow ball!" Ordered Serena. Jolteon fired a ball of shadows straight at Goodra.
Goodra tried to dodge the attack but was hit square in the gut. Goodra was knocked back a little bit by the attack, but remained standing. The Dragon breath hit Jolteon knocking the electric type off balance. Jolteon stood for a moment before the effects of Dragon breath took full effect. Jolteon was now paralyzed by the Dragon breath but he could still fight. "Jolteon use Signal beam!" Instructed Serena.
Jolteon fired the bug type special move at an impressive speed despite his paralysis, in fact it seemed that he was faster than before. "Goodra use Dragon pulse!" Commanded Ash quickly. Goodra fired the draconic pulse move at Jolteon's Signal beam. The two moves were close to hitting one and another, but they just grazed eachother before colliding with the pokemon they were targeting. Both pokemon stood there staring at one and neither wanted to move at all.
Then with a groan Goodra fainted and fell to the ground, making a loud clang. "Goodra is unable to battle!" Announced the referee waving a flag at Jolteon and Serena. "How was Jolteon able to move so fast? I thought he was paralyzed?" Asked Ash confused. Serena smiled. "He is, but his ability is Quick Feet, meaning that if he get's statused his speed gets a major boost, not to mention his speed isn't decreased by paralysis." Explained Serena.
With a sigh Ash recalls Goodra to his pokeball. If Serena was going to use an electric pokemon, that just means Ash would have to return in kind. Ash extends his right arm where Pikachu was perched. Pikachu ran along his arm leaping off his hand onto the field to face Jolteon. "Jolteon use Hyper voice!" Shouted Serena. Jolteon took a deep breath the let out a hyper sonic shout at Pikachu.
"Pikachu cut through the attack with a spinning Iron tail!" Commanded Ash. Pikachu lept into the air as he turned his tail into metal. Then he spun vertically cutting straight through the sound. Then he slams the tail onto the top of Jolteon's head. The electric type slams face first into the metal floor. Jolteon weakly got to his feet, shaking his his head in order to clear it of confusion. "Jolteon use Thunderbolt!" Instructed Serena.
Jolteon charged up and then fired a bolt of lighting straight at Pikachu. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ordered Ash. Pikachu charged up and fired off his signature move. The two Thunderbolts collidded with one and another trying to push each other back. For a full fifteen seconds the two moves clashed neither wanting to give an inch. Then with an extra push Pikachu increases the power of hit lightning enough to oveerpower Jolteon.
Jolteon's Thunderbolt is broken and Pikachu's Thunderbolt collides with the electirc type eeveelution. Jolteon gorans as he's enveloped in lighting. When the lightning subsided Jolteon groaned and fell to his side fainting. "Jolteon is unable to battle!" Shouted the announcer. Serena recalled Jolteon to his pokeball. Now the match up was Serena with three pokemon remaining and Ash with four pokemon left for him to battle with.
