Chapter 37

I was on my way to Battle Tower and I made a pit stop at Kamar city to buy essentials and have a regular check up on my pokemon, when I reached the pokemon centre I found it fully packed. "Hey nurse Joy, what happened here?" I asked the local nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy looked toward me and replied, "An unknown pokemon calling itself 'The Crimson Tide' is challenging the local trainers to battle, no one knows which pokemon it is as it's wearing a red cape and trainers in our city are not experienced trainer as this city is mainly an industrial city. It is battling young pokemon and leaving them badly hurt." I nodded and left the pokemon centre.

It didn't take me much time to encounter the so called Crimson Tide in a dark alley where it was battling a Politoed, from the getup and the shape of its face and hands I could tell that it was a Scizor. Scizor was about to use hyper Beam at the Politoed but I released Charizard who stopped the Hyper Beam with his Flamethrower, just as I expected the Scizor wasn't much powerful it was just lashing out on young pokemons. I walked forward and said, "Battling young pokemon to prove yourself, why don't you battle with someone like Charizard."

I could see Scizor had a camera around its neck and probably had a radio speaker which its trainer was using to speak in a distorted voice, "I don't need to battle you." It said and then tried to get away by flying up, Scizor was incredibly fast but Charizard caught up to it and hit back Scizor to the ground with a Fire Punch. The punch destroyed the camera and as Scizor fell down its cape too fell down, I saw the radio speaker and picked it up. "Whoever you are come quickly if you want to have your Scizor back."

It didn't take much time as I saw a girl running along an old man toward me, the girl went straight to Scizor and started caring for it. The man stopped near me and said, "I am truly sorry for Luna's behaviour, she is a young girl and is sad as her parents always stay away as they both are scientists. I didn't know that she was using her father's Scizor in this way, please forgive her."

I replied, "You don't have to ask for my forgiveness, I came here because Luna was targeting young pokemon who are in pokemon centre now. You both should go there and say sorry to them." The old man nodded.

Luna returned Scizor to its pokeball as the old man led her away toward the pokemon centre to say sorry to the trainers of young pokemon that her Scizor hurt.

I was near the Battle Tower but it was nearly dark so I decided to challenge Battle Tower tomorrow and headed for the pokemon centre. On my way I saw a girl with long violet hair talking to a raging Gyarados, surprisingly she was able to calm down the Gyarados and then take out a thorn from its body which was hurting the Gyarados. The girl saw me, "Oh hello there."

I smiled and replied, "Hey, is this Gyarados yours? Most of the wild Gyarados would never calm down that easily."

The girl smiled and replied, "No, the Gyarados is a wild one. I can understand pokemon and talk with them as I am a psychic, I am Anabel by the way."

I nodded, "I am Harry Potter, so are you like Saffron city gym leader Sabrina."

Anabel shook her head in a no, "Sabrina is much more stronger than me, I can only form a connection with pokemon. Are you a trainer?"

I nodded, "Yup, I am here to challenge the Battle Tower. It's getting dark now so I will challenge it tomorrow."

Anabel eyes widened but then she smiled, "Well that's good then, I'll see you tomorrow."

I asked confusedly, "Why?"

Anabel smiled and replied, "Because I am the Salon Maiden Anabel, the Tower Tycoon of Kanto Battle Frontier." With that she turned and left.

I stared at the leaving figure of Anabel, "I like her, strong and sexy that's my type." Once she was out of sight I left for the pokemon centre.

The next morning, I found Scott in the pokemon centre, "Hello Harry, ready to challenge the Battle Tower."

I nodded, "Yup, I am ready to battle Anabel."

Scott stared at me, "How did you know about her?"

I smiled and replied, "I met her yesterday evening, she introduced herself to me."

Scott nodded, "Well then let's get going."

When we reached there I found a big and tall tower which had about 100 floors, Scott said as we entered the Battle Tower. "Battle Tower is the front of our Battle Frontier and the regional main office as well, there is always a small tournament going on in here but the top 30 floors are reserved for the Battle Frontier business. Anabel is the leader of this Battle Tower or as they call her the Tower Tycoon, many trainers fight here but I don't think many know about the Battle Frontier."

We took a private lift that Scott led me to, just as Scott said there were multiple battles going on in every floor. "The trainers battle for money or some evolutionary item and such things here, it is a great source of income in par with a regional pokemon league."

I replied, "I had heard about Battle Tower but never checked it out before."

We finally reached the 23rd floor where we saw Anabel waiting for us, "Hello Harry, Scott I was waiting for you two to show up."

Scott said, "Hey Anabel, you got another challenger today."

Anabel smiled, "I know, I met Harry yesterday."

"Hey Anabel." I replied.

"Let's have the battle you were waiting for." Anabel said and called out a referee to judge the battle.

Scott took the side lines as me and Anabel stood on the opposite side of the battlefield, referee took his position and said out loud. "This battle will be a three on three pokemon battle between Salon Maiden Anabel and the challenger Harry Potter, trainers select your first pokemon."

"Espeon come out." Anabel sent out her first pokemon.

I replied with my own eeveelution, "Umbreon, you are up girl."

Umbreon and Espeon stared at each other as referee shouted out, "Let the battle commence."

Just like Sabrina, Anabel too used her psychic abilities to communicate with pokemon during battle. Espeon started the match up between the eevelutions with Zap Cannon but Umbreon was able to dodge out of its way and replied with Dark Pulse, Espeon used Double Team to dodge the Dark Pulse and then used Signal Beam at Umbreon which she was unable to dodge. Umbreon got back up and hit back Espeon with Payback and before Espeon could get up she followed up the Payback with Dark Pulse. Espeon got up and used Dazzling Gleam which forced Umbreon to close its eyes, Espeon used this momentary blindness to its advantage and sent Umbreon back flying with a powerful Iron Tail.

Umbreon slowly got back up but Espeon quickly used Zap Cannon again, "Use Double Team Umbreon quick." I shouted and fortunately Umbreon used Double Team in time as a result dodging the powerful Zap Cannon, "Now Shadow Ball Barrage." Umbreon surrounded Espeon with Double Team and used Shadow Balls, Espeon was hit with Shadow Balls from multiple direction which knocked it out cold.

"Espeon is unable to battle, Anabel select your next pokemon." Referee announced.

Anabel recalled Espeon, "Come out Metagross."

I decided to recall Umbreon, "Come back Umbreon, I may need you later on. Absol, you are up."

I started the match up, "Absol use Mean Look and follow it up with Perish Song." I had trained Absol to use these two moves as quickly as he could and Absol did it flawlessly.

Anabel smiled, "I like your combination Harry but if Metagross is going down then Absol will go with him. Metagross let us be one, mega evolve."

"Damn." I cursed as Anabel used her key stone to mega evolve her Metagross.

Mega Metagross dashed at Absol with incredible speed with Meteor Mash, Absol tried to stop it with Dark Pulse but Mega Metagross was able to power its way through it and hit Absol which sent him flying. Absol groggily got back up and used Payback on Mega Metagross but Mega Metagross was ready and let Absol hit him with Payback. Just as Absol hit him with Payback Mega Metagross replied by hitting Absol with Hammer Arm. Absol was panting heavily as it was deeply hurt, Mega Metagross dashed at him with another Meteor Mash.

"Absol stop it with Hyper Beam." I shouted out quickly.

Absol used Hyper Beam at the incoming Mega Metagross but Mega Metagross powered his wat through it and hit Absol, the pokemon collided in an explosion and as the smoke cleared Absol was lying down unconscious. Mega Metagross changed back to Metagross and soon followed Absol by falling down unconscious due to Perish Song.

"Both Absol and Metagross are unable to battle, trainers select your last pokemon." Referee announced as both me and Anabel recalled our unconscious pokemon.

"Alakazam, come out." Anabel sent out her last pokemon.

In response to her I sent out my last pokemon, "Houndoom, you are up."

Just as I expected Alakazam started the matchup with Miracle Eye which removed Houndoom immunity from psychic type attacks for this battle. Houndoom used Dark Pulse at Alakazam but Alakazam teleported away to dodge the attack, Alakazam attacked Houndoom with Psycho Cut but Houndoom used Smog all over the field to hid himself and dodge the Psycho Cut attack. Anabel was able to sense Houndoom in the smoke as a result Alakazam quickly teleported near Houndoom and before Houndoom could respond Alakazam smashed Houndoom with a Drain Punch. Houndoom was thrown aback but he quickly recovered and hit back Alakazam with Payback, Alakazam was pushed back but Houndoom didn't waste a second and followed up with Foul Play.

Alakazam slowly got back up, Anabel took hold of her key stone and said, "Alakazam let us be one, mega evolve." With that Anabel mega evolved her Alakazam.

I also took hold of my Key Stone, "We won't be backing down Houndoom, mega evolve." I too mega evolved my Houndoom to face Anabel's Mega Alakazam.

Mega Houndoom used Heat Wave all over the battlefield and Mega Alakazam was unable to dodge, Mega Alakazam hit back Mega Houndoom by using Focus Blast. Mega Houndoom got back up but Mega Alakazam used Future Sight and then used Telekinesis to raise Mega Houndoom in the air, Mega Houndoom tried to defend itself from Mega Houndoom attacks but Mega Alakazam teleported around him and attacked him from different direction. Mega Alakazam hit Mega Houndoom with two Psychic attacks back to back and lastly followed it up with Focus Punch. Mega Houndoom was thrown back as he was badly hurt but he slowly got up on his legs, he was about to use Feint Attack when the Future Sight came up and hit him.

Mega Houndoom was nearly out of the battle so I shouted quickly, "Houndoom use Destiny Bond quick." Mega Houndoom used Destiny Bond on Mega Alakazam before Mega Alakazam hit him with Focus Blast knocking it out unconscious, Mega Alakazam changed back to his original state and fell down unconscious.

"Both Houndoom and Alakazam are unable to battle, as the challenger still has a pokemon left the winner is the challenger Harry Potter." Referee declared me the winner.

I recalled Houndoom and Anabel recalled her Alakazam, Scott came toward us as me and Anabel met in the middle of the field. "It has been a long time since I have been defeated in a pokemon battle but it was surely an amazing battle, here Harry the Ability symbol you deserved it."

I accept the symbol as Scott added, "Anabel is right Harry, you deserved the Ability symbol and now you are the third trainer to win the Ability Symbol."

Anabel nodded, "I wish you luck for your battle against Brandon, for some reason I feel like you will be able to defeat him and be the first trainer to complete this challenge."

"Thanks Anabel." I replied.

Scott said, "By the way Brandon will come to Pewter city in a couple of weeks and you can battle him there for the final symbol."

I nodded, "I'll meet you there then Scott." I looked at Anabel, "Bye Anabel, I am sure we'll meet again."

Anabel smiled and nodded, "Until next time."

"Until next time." I said to her and left the Battle Tower.

I was having a training session nearby a mountain range when I felt a disturbance in the surrounding, I recalled my pokemons to their pokeballs but I noticed Rayquaza staring toward a small cave. "Is there any problem Rayquaza?" I asked, Rayquaza looked at me and nodded and then pointed at the cave. Suddenly something shot up to the sky from that cave into the air and a strange aurora appeared in the sky, I was staring at the aurora when a voice interrupted me. "That aurora is the result of a Deoxys." I looked back and found the pokemon ranger Solana, "A meteorite dropped in that cave a few days ago and from then we have been getting a strange geomagnetic reading from this place. I came here to investigate and found Deoxys, I tried capturing it but it is too strong."

I nodded, "A Deoxys huh, they are as rare as an Ultra Beast, I would love to catch one. what do you say Rayquaza?" Rayquaza nodded as it was excited to battle a strong opponent. I looked at Solana, "Well Solana I'll be catching Deoxys, you can wait and watch our battle."

Solana grinned and took out her camera, "A battle between Deoxys and Rayquaza, I wouldn't dare to miss it." I nodded and we headed for the cave where Deoxys was present.

It seemed like Deoxys sensed our presence and came out of the cave, Deoxys stared at us but before I could say anything it moved opposite to Rayquaza accepting my challenge. "If you are ready to battle then who am I to interfere, go Rayquaza."

Deoxys was in his Normal form when it started the battle with Ice Beam but Rayquaza countered the Ice Beam with Flamethrower, Rayquaza's Flamethrower overpowered Deoxys's Ice Beam and headed toward it but Deoxys was able to dodge out of its way. Rayquaza used Dragon Pulse at Deoxys and Deoxys countered it with Psychic, the two attacks collided with an explosion and cancelled each other. Deoxys joined its hand and used its signature move Psycho Boost at Rayquaza, but Rayquaza countered it with his Hyper Beam. The Hyper Beam and Psycho Boost collided in a big blast and cancelled out each other, Rayquaza used the smoke to his advantage and hit Deoxys with Shadow Claw and before Deoxys could recovered Rayquaza hit it with Brutal Swing which sent Deoxys smashing onto the ground.

Deoxys quickly got back up and changed to its Attack form, Deoxys dashed at Rayquaza at an incredible speed and hit him with Superpower and before Rayquaza could reply back Deoxys followed up with Zap Cannon. Rayquaza was hit with Zap Cannon and he gritted its teeth in pain as the powerful electric type attack hit lasted for a few moments, just as the attack finished Rayquaza flipped his body and hit Deoxys with Dragon Tail and then followed up with Outrage which hit Deoxys dead on. Deoxys was badly panting so it changed to its Speed Form, Rayquaza used another Dragon Pulse but Deoxys with its incredible speed easily dodged the dragon type attack and hit Rayquaza with Ice Punch. Rayquaza roared and used Draco Meteor but amazingly Deoxys was very fast and at an unimaginable speed dodged all the Draco Meteors and then attacked Rayquaza with Ice Beam.

I looked at Rayquaza and said, "Deoxys doesn't have much left and that's why it's dodging everything with its Speed form, it's time to show your full strength Rayquaza, mega evolve." I took hold of my key stone as Rayquaza nodded and then used his internal energy to mega evolve. Solana stared at Mega Rayquaza in shock, I grinned and said to her. "Now Deoxys won't be able to run away."

Deoxys again dashed at Mega Rayquaza with Ice Punch but this time Mega Rayquaza matched its speed and dodged the Ice Punch and hit Deoxys with Brutal Swing which sent it smashing onto the ground. Deoxys tried to slowly get back up so I shouted, "It's time to finish it up Rayquaza, use Dragon Ascent." Mega Rayquaza flew up and then came down in a blink of an eye and hit Deoxys with his signature move, Dragon Ascent. Deoxys was knocked out cold and I quickly used an Ultra Ball to catch it. "Good work Rayquaza." Mega Rayquaza changed back to his original form and nodded, he then roared to celebrate his victory over Deoxys. I returned Rayquaza to his pokeball and scanned Deoxys with my pokedex.

"Deoxys, the DNA pokemon. The DNA of a space virus underwent a sudden mutation upon exposure to a laser beam and resulted in Deoxys. The crystalline organ on this pokemon's chest appears to be its brain. It is highly intelligent and wields psychokinetic powers. This pokemon shoots lasers from the crystalline organ on its chest. According to its needs it can take four forms which are Normal Form, Attack Form, Defence Form and lastly Speed Form, it can have different attacks in different forms. Deoxys are genderless.

Abilities- Pressure.

Known moves- Night Shade, Double Team, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Beam, Zap Cannon, Zen Headbutt, Extreme Speed, Recover, Teleport, Counter, Iron Defence, Superpower, Psychic, Psyshock, Psycho Boost, Hyper Beam, Signal Beam, Drain Punch, Focus Punch, Energy Ball, Dream Eater, Water Pulse, Poison Jab, Rock Tomb."

"Well looks like you hit a jackpot." Solana said as she heard the pokedex entry of pokedex.

I smiled and nodded, "I tend to do that, well I should be going. Goodbye Solana, maybe we will meet again."

Solana nodded, "Maybe we will, by the way I am going to upload this battle in the pokenet."

I shrugged, "Sure, I think most my opponent who search about me know that I have a number of legendry pokemons so Deoxys is just another name in the list of rare pokemon on my team."

Solana laughed, "True, goodbye Harry." With that she left.

I was able to get to Pewter city in time, I found Scott in the pewter city pokemon centre cafeteria and I joined him. "Hey Scott, looks like I am in time."

Scott smiled, "Hello Harry, you are just on time as Brandon will be coming here in about an hour. By the way I saw your battle with Deoxys in the pokenet, I didn't know that Rayquaza could mega evolve without a mega stone."

I nodded, "Drake, the dragon type master of Hoenn Elite Four told me about this amazing ability of Rayquaza. According to him Rayquaza is the first ever pokemon to ever mega evolve."

We talked for an hour after which I followed Scott toward an ancient rune, we were there for a few minutes when I heard a rumble in the sky. I looked up and found a big Pyramid like structure with fans on the four bottom corners flying above us, "Is that the Battle Pyramid?" I asked in shock.

Scott grinned, "Yup, it is a master piece that Noland created and it is used by Brandon. The Battle Ship has a battle stadium in the middle and it has other rooms for Brandon and his assistant Sam in the sides, this beauty is very fuel efficient and can fly from here to Kalos without any problem."

"It is surely a piece of beauty." I heard another voice behind me so I turned around and found that it was Cynthia who said it. Cynthia was here with Sirius, Red, Blue, Green and prof Oak.

Sirius grinned, "How are you pup? Scott invited all of us to watch your final frontier battle."

Cynthia nodded, "I was with Sirius when Scott invited him so I decided to join him."

Red said excitedly, "Hey Harry, we also came along with prof Oak."

Green added, "We are here to cheer for you Harry." Blue just nodded.

Prof Oak said, "You have grown Harry, you are much stronger than the 5-year boy I found sleeping in the forest with an egg."

I smiled, "Thanks prof Oak, I am glad you all are here."

Scott said, "Well let's get going, the Battle Pyramid has landed." I nodded and we all followed Scott.

When we entered inside we found Brandon standing with his assistant Samuel, "Hell everyone, welcome to Battle Pyramid. I am the Pyramid King Brandon and the final frontier brain of Battle Frontier, this is my assistant Sam." Brandon greeted us and Sam followed him.

Scott smiled, "Hello Brandon, you have a new challenger and I have a feeling that your winning streak will break today."

Brandon smiled, "I always welcome a challenge, Harry Potter I have heard about you lot from many strong trainers especially Lance and Steven. Before coming here, I searched your records and they are quite impressive and your recent battle with Deoxys was also enjoyable."

I nodded, "Thanks for the praise Brandon, I also heard a lot about you from Lance, Mr Goodshow and even Cynthia. I am excited to battle you."

Brandon laughed, "I like your enthusiasm Harry, let's not make you wait any further." With that he led me to the battlefield.

Brandon and I took the opposite sides of the battlefield as the others took the stands to watch the battle, Sam took the position of referee and started the announcement. "This battle will be a full six on six pokemon battle between the Pyramid King Brandon and the challenger Harry Potter, trainers select your first pokemon."

Brandon released his first pokemon ….
