A/N #1: A Legendary Pokemon will be introduced in this chapter. Just to give you readers a heads-up.

Chapter 33 - Battle For The Fourth Print In The Battle Hall! Hall Matron Argenta Vs. Jack!
"Thanks uncle." Jack said.
"No problem. I'll be seeing you at your last Frontier Brain Battle." Kevin said before the screen went black.
"Hey Jack, what Pokemon did you get for the battle?" Ash asked.
"You'll see soon enough. What about you?"
"I'll be using Pikachu."
"Pi-ka-chu!" Pikachu squealed.
"Alright. Remember this, whatever you do, don't do anything stupid in your battle against Argenta."
"Huh?"
"It may be a one on one battle, but Ryan told me she has access to Legendary Pokemons."
"L-legendary Pokemons?"
"That's right. Although she doesn't use them very much, she will use it against Trainers who she thinks are tough, like myself."
"Hey! What about me?"
"Well, I consider you tough, but I don't know what Argenta is considering you."
"Thanks for considering me tough."
"You'll be lucky if she doesn't use any Legendary Pokemons against you. On the other hand, for me, I'm ready for a real challenge."
"You're hoping that she uses a Legendary Pokemon, aren't you?"
"Of course. I've never faced a Trainer with a Legendary Pokemon." (A/N: You must be saying: "Are you freaking serious?" Remember the fact that Jack didn't face Brandon, the Pyramid King, when he had the three Golems, Regirock, Registeel and Regice. And any other Legendaries that appeared in the anime that my OC will probably face for something.)
"Really? Well, I guess I got lucky when I've faced Trainers with Legendary Pokemons."
"Yeah, you lucky bastard."
"Anyway, I think we should go to the Battle Hall now."
"You're right."
(At the Battle Hall...)
"This is going to be one tough battle." Jack said.
"Just relax daddy. I'm sure you'll beat her." Sophia said.
"It's not all about winning."
"What?"
"I'm worry she might use a Legendary Pokemon, the last thing I need."
"A Legendary Pokemon?" Grace said.
"Yeah, according to Ryan, she has some Legendary Pokemons."
"Wow."
"Yeah. I'm predicting that she's going to use a Legendary Pokemon against me."
"Just relax. Just do what you normally do in a regular battle." Kate said.
"Either way, even if I'm relaxed, it's going to be a tough battle."
(At the battlefield...)
"So who do you think will win?" Dawn asked.
"It'll be difficult to say, according to Jack." Brock said.
"I agree. I'm getting goosebumps just sitting here thinking about what Pokemon she's going to use." Ash said.
"Man..." Kate was shuffling in her seat.
"Kate, relax. You're worser than Jack." Grace said.
"How can I relax? Jack may well end up losing."
"Don't say that!" Sophia exclaimed. "We just have to believe in daddy's abilities as a Trainer!"
"She's right you know."
Suddenly, Jack and the Hall Matron, Argenta, walked to their respective sides.
"I'm Jack, winner of the Lily of the Valley Conference." Jack introduced himself.
"My Battle Hall allows Trainers to mount challenges with their one favorite Pokemon. I imagine there were tense moments getting here with your chosen one. But understand that one shines the brightest when a challenge is overcome. I am Argenta, and I am your final and most daunting challenge. I dare you to overcome my challenge." Argenta said.
"Wait what? Final? As far as I'm concern, this is not my final challenge."
"Say what you like. You're not going to beat me easily!"
"Thanks, you just made me more determined to beat you!"
"Enough talk, let's begin our battle."
"Bring it on!"
"Latias, come on out!" Argenta tossed her Pokeball.
"La-ti-as!" Latias yelled her name.
"Just as I fear. A Legendary Pokemon."
"Oh no! Daddy was right! She is going to use a Legendary Pokemon!" Sophia shouted.
"This is going to be one tough battle." Kate said.
"Exactly." Brock said. "Let's see how Jack handles this."
"Using a Legendary Pokemon. Unbelievable." Jack said.
"What happened to your upbeat spirit? Did it all just disappeared?" Argenta asked.
Jack smirked. "Thanks for the pep talk. My spirit is now bursting with flames of determination!"
"Then bring out your Pokemon and show me your determination!"
"Dragonite, I choose you!" Jack tossed his Pokeball.
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite let out a huge roar.
"Latias, starts things off with Dragon Pulse!"
"La-ti-as!" Latias opens her mouth and a turquiose energy ball appears in front of her. She then fires the ball at Dragonite.
"Dragonite, cut through it with Dragon Rush!"
"Dra-goooo-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks. She then charges towards Latias, destroying the Dragon Pulse in the process.
"Latias, dodge it and use Psychic!"
"La!" Latias moved to the side to dodge the attack. "La-ti-as!" Latias's eyes glow light blue. Dragonite then becomes surrounded in light blue and Latias can control her.
"Dragonite, break free from Latias's hold and use Thunderbolt!"
"Dra-gooooo-niiiiiite!" Dragonite charges electricity in her antennae, then releases a beam of yellow electricity at Latias from them.
"Latias, dodge it and use Mist Ball!"
"La!" Latias dodged the attack by moving to the side. "La-ti-as!" Latias fired a mist-like ball at Dragonite.
"Dragonite, dodge with Aerial Ace!"
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded by white streaks as she flies towards Latias, dodging the ball in the process.
"Latias, dodge it and use Psychic!"
"La!" Latias flew up to dodge Dragonite. "La-ti-as!" Latias's eyes glow light blue. Dragonite then becomes surrounded in light blue and Latias can control her.
"Dragonite, break free and use Aerial Ace!"
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite broke free from Latias's hold. "Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded by white streaks as she flies towards Latias.
"Latias, dodge it and use Dragon Pulse!"
"La!" Latias moved to the side to dodge the attack. "La-ti-as!" Latias opens her mouth and a turquiose energy ball appears in front of her. She then fires the ball at Dragonite.
"Dragonite, use Dragon Rush!"
"Dra-goooo-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks. She then charges towards Latias, destroying the Dragon Pulse in the process.
"La-ti-as!" Latias was slammed by Dragonite.
"Latias, use Psychic!"
"La-ti-as!" Latias's eyes glow light blue. Dragonite then becomes surrounded in light blue and Latias can control her.
"Render it useless Dragonite!"
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite broke free from Latias's hold for a third time.
"Dragonite, use Dragon Rush!"
"Dra-goooo-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks. She then charges towards Latias.
"Latias, dodge it!"
"La!" Latias flew down to the ground to dodge the attack.
"I must say, your Dragonite is a excellent fighter." Argenta commented.
"Thank you. I could say the same thing about your Latias." Jack said.
"This is turning into one of the best battles I've ever seen!" Maria exclaimed.
"Same here!" Sophia exclaimed.
"Now, it's time to show you my battle-winning skills! Dragonite, use Aerial Bolt!"
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded by white streaks as she flies towards Latias. "Dra-gooooo-niiiiite!" Dragonite charged electricity in her antennae, and then release it onto herself.
"Dodge it La-" Argenta couldn't finish her order as Dragonite slammed into Latias.
"La-ti-as!" Latias fell to the ground, paralyzed, thanks to the Thunderbolt.
"Latias!"
"Dragonite, use Aerial Ace!"
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded by white streaks as she flies towards Latias.
"Latias, please get up!"
"La... Ti-as!" Latias was hit by Dragonite.
"Dragonite, use Dragon Bolt!"
"Dra-goooo-niiiiiite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks and she charged electricity in her antennae, and then release it onto herself. She then charges towards Latias.
"La-ti-as!" Latias was again hit by Dragonite.
"Latias, try and use Dragon Pulse!"
"La... Ti-as!" Latias opens her mouth and a turquiose energy ball appears in front of her. She then fires the ball at Dragonite.
"Dragonite, dodge it and use Thunderbolt!"
"Dra-gooooo-niiiiiite!" Dragonite charges electricity in her antennae, then releases a beam of yellow electricity at Latias from them.
"Latias, use Psychic to stop the attack!"
"La-ti-as!" Latias's eyes glow light blue. Dragonite's Thunderbolt then becomes surrounded in light blue and Latias can control her. She then fires it back to towards Dragonite.
"Dragonite, use Aerial Ace!"
"Dra-go-nite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded by white streaks as she flies towards Latias, getting hit by her own Thunderbolt in the process.
"Oh no..." Argenta said.
"La-ti-as!" Latias was hit by Dragonite.
"Dragonite, use Thunderbolt!"
"Dra-gooooo-niiiiiite!" Dragonite charges electricity in her antennae, then releases a beam of yellow electricity at Latias from them.
"Latias, try and dodge it!"
"La!" Latias dodged the attack by flying up.
"Use Draco Meteor, Latias!"
"Laaaaaaa-ttttttttti..." Latias's body glows orange and a orange ball of light appears inside her chest. The glow fades and a ball of orange energy appears in front of Latias's mouth. "As!" Latias fires the ball into the air and it explodes, releasing many orbs where it exploded at Dragonite.
"Dragonite, block it!"
"Drag!" Dragonite crossed her arms in a 'X' like fashion.
The orbs hit Dragonite, causing smoke to appear and cover Dragonite.
"Oh no!" Sophia exclaimed.
"Just keep watching Sophia." Grace said.
The smoke started to fade away to reveal Dragonite still standing, looking like she barely even felt the attack.
"What? That's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible for my Pokemons! Dragonite, use Dragon Bolt!"
"Dra-goooo-niiiiiite!" Dragonite's body becomes surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks and she charged electricity in her antennae, and then release it onto herself. She then charges towards Latias.
"La-ti-as!" Latias fell to the ground.
"Latias!"
"Finish this off with Draco Meteor, Dragonite!"
"Dragooooo..." Dragonite's body started to glow orange and a orange ball of light appeared inside her chest. The glow fades and a ball of orange energy appeared in front of her mouth. "Nite!" Dragonite fired the -ball at the skies, which then exploded into many orbs, all aimed at Latias.
"La-ti-as!" Latias screamed in pain as the falling orbs hit her, causing smoke to quickly cover her.
"Latias!"
The orbs finished falling on Latias and the smoke started to fade away to reveal Latias with swirls for eyes.
"Daddy did it! Daddy won!" Sophia shouted in joy.
"That was impressive." Brock said.
"Latias, return." Argenta recalled Latias and walked over to Jack.
"Return Dragonite." Jack recalled Dragonite. "You're awesome Dragonite. Take a much needed rest."
Argenta clapped. "That was a brilliant battle. I haven't felt like this in a long time." Argenta said.
"It was a really intense battle and going up against a Legendary Pokemon and a Frontier Brain like yourself was not really making things better."
"But in the end, you still beat me. Here is your Print." Argenta held out a Print, which features the Battle Hall, Jack on the left side and Argenta on the right side.
"Thank you." Jack accepted the Print and put it in his Print Case.
"A good Trainer doesn't force their favorite on anyone. A good one keeps with their favorite without drama or fanfare. That is how I see it, at least. And, by the way I see it, you're an excellent Trainer! Be sure to visit the Battle Hall again with a favorite Pok mon. Until then, bye-bye!"
"Bye."
(Outside of the Battle Hall...)
"Well, it's four down, one to go." Jack said.
"Yep. All you have to do is beat the Tower Tycoon, Palmer." Kate said.
"He's going to be a tough one to beat."
"That's what you said about Argenta." Grace said.
"Yeah. Anyway, it's time for Ash's battle."
"Yeah, I can't wait to win my fourth Print!" Ash said.
"Well, good luck."
"Hello Jack. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Someone said.
Everyone turned around.
"Ryan, Jessica. What are you two doing here?" Jack asked them.
"What do you think? I came here to battle you." Ryan said.
"I'm sorry, but I'm currently busy with the Battle Frontiers here."
"Exactly my point."
"Huh?"
"If you want to face Palmer, you'll have to beat me. A former Frontier Brain of this Region."
"Well, your challenge is going to have to be put on hold until Ash's battle against Argenta."
"Fine with me."
With Castle Valet Darach, Arcade Star Dahlia, Factory Head Thorton and Hall Matron Argenta now beaten by Jack. Only Tower Tycoon Palmer remains, but what is up with Ryan and Jessica's sudden appearance? Why did Ryan suddenly challenge Jack to a battle?
