Chapter 36: The Epic Battle Part 2

So I heard you liek Mudkips? Well that's too bad because you won't be seeing any here...

For everyone who found the Spiderman reference, good job, you get 10 shiny points. :P Although that part was really corny... I kinda want to slam my head into something every time I think about it...

Ugh.

Actually I want to do that every time I looked back at the first bunch of chapters in the story... I want to rewrite them... But then... I don't.

For those who are wondering, in the beginning of this story, I was monitoring what moves Ash's Pokémon had learned and had limited them to that. Of course, that got boring and I decided I was going to let them use other moves. And no, I don't care if they can only use four moves in the game, I'll let them have as many attacks as I like. Look up Ash's Charizard on Bulbapideia, that thing has a huge list of moves.

Anyways, on to Part 2 of the battle between Ash and Tobias.

I don't own Pokémon

Dawn's POV

Lucario had fallen, lying limp on the ground. Ash ran across the huge field and knelt by his steel type. Eventually, Lucario woke up, and with the help of Ash, limped off the field to recover. I got out of me seat and walked onto the field, over to Lucario. Ash had made his way back to his spot on the field, and the battle began.

I ignored the commotion of the battle and sat down next to Lucario, who refused to look me in the eye. "You did a great job out there," I told him patting his shoulder. He whimpered a little and looked at me sadly, an ashamed look in his eyes.

"Don't feel bad, you did your best," I told him, "You put up a great fight, even if you couldn't take Moltres down."

Lucario didn't seem convinced; he was turned to the battle sadly. "You had a type disadvantage," I said, "We all know that fire type attacks are super effective against steel types."

Lucario looked back, seeming to feel a little better. "You put up a great fight, even with the disadvantage," I said, leaning over and hugging him, "I'm really proud of you."

It felt weird hugging a Pokémon that wasn't mine, but I didn't let go, and eventually, Lucario wrapped his arms around me as well.

"Hrmm," He hummed. I looked at him as he smiled at me; I smiled back and ruffled his hair. With that we turned and watched the battle.

May's POV

I watched Dawn walk off to talk to Lucario as Ash walked back to his spot on the field next to Pikachu and Gengar.

"Okay," Ash began, "Gible, come ba-"

But Ash was cut off when Pikachu leapt onto the field, cheeks sparking as he glared of Moltres.

"Pikachu? You want to battle again already?" Ash asked.

"Pika pika!" Pikachu exclaimed with a nod.

"Okay then!" Ash said with a smirk, "Pikachu! Use Thunder!"

Pikachu fired the electricity at Moltres, who launched into the sky and avoided the attack.

"Sunny Day!" Tobias exclaimed. Moltres hovered above the ground and began forming a glowing orange ball, after it grew really large, the flying type shot it up into the sky.

The puffy, white clouds that previously hovered in the sky began to move away, and the sun seemed to shine with a more intense heat. I wiped my brow as the temperature rose.

"Man! That Moltres sure turned up the heat!" Barry exclaimed, "He's just asking for a fine!"

"I hate weather changing moves..." Paul grumbled. "First Hail, now this..."

I rolled my eyes and turned back to the battle, the flames on Moltres began to burn much more brilliantly. "Moltres's fire attacks are going to be boosted now," Paul said, "At least, until the sun cools down a little."

"Pikachu! Use Quick Attack," Ash exclaimed.

"Fly high!" Tobias exclaimed. Moltres flew higher into the sky. "Agility!"

Moltres performed Agility, appearing in different places on the field.

"Sky Attack!" Tobias exclaimed.

"Quick Attack!" Ash shouted.

Moltres appeared high in the sky, where it began to dive at Pikachu, who started dashing away with Quick Attack.

"Flame Thrower!" Tobias shouted.

Moltres shot amazingly bright flames from its mouth, engulfing itself, it shined so brightly it could have been mistake for a shooting star. Moltres banked and flew after Pikachu with blinding speed, with a power explosion, the two collided. Dust went flying in every direction, even flying into the bleachers, causing us all to cough and fan our hand in front of our faces to blow away the dust. After several minutes, the dust finally settled, revealing Pikachu, who was knocked out on the ground, but Moltres didn't look too good either.

"Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed, running over to his best friend. He knelt down and picked up his electric mouse. He walked over to the bleachers where I was, handing me Pikachu. "Look after him for me," I smiled encouragingly and took him. Pikachu was still out, lying limp in my lap.

"Just give him some time to rest," Paul said, "He'll recover and wake up."

Pikachu grimaced, as if having a bad dream; tiny little sparks of electricity came from his cheeks. "Pi... Ka..." he groaned, but didn't wake up.

"Alright then!" Ash exclaimed, now standing back at his side of the battle field, he pulled out a Pokéball and tossed it into the air. "Gible! I choose you!"

The short, stubby dragon type appeared on the field, he looked tired, but still determined. "Gi-ble," Gible growled.

"Fly high and then use Roost!" Tobias exclaimed. Moltres, nodded and took to the sky, out of the range of any attacks. It began to glow a bright white, and recovered its health, but even after Roost it still looked tired.

I tilted my head. "I thought Roost restored all of a Pokémon's health," I said, Scott and Paul shook their heads.

"Nope, Roost can only restore so much health," Scott said, "Moltres therefore, has still been weaken."

I smiled, "So Pikachu and Lucario's efforts weren't completely diminished?" I asked.

"Yeah," Paul said.

"P-p-pika..." Pikachu groaned, still asleep in my lap. He began to fidget more and wriggle around. I grabbed him and hugged him close to my chest, as to prevent him from falling off my lap.

"Pikachu doesn't look to good," Barry said, examining the electric type, "Should we have him checked out?"

Scott leaned over and laid a hand on Pikachu's forehead. "He's not hot, he's probably just having a bad dream," he said. I looked down worriedly at the mouse.

"Gible! Use Dig!" Ash said.

Barry raised a brow. "What do you think Ash is doing? Dig won't affect Moltres," he said.

Paul shrugged, "My guess is that he's waiting for the Sunny Day to die down, that's Moltres's ultimate source of power." he said.

Gible did indeed simply stay underground as Moltres circled above, eventually Sunny Day's effect did diminish. I let out a sigh of relief as a cool breeze swept over me.

"Alright Gible, get out of there and use Dragon Pulse!" Ash exclaimed.

"Pika..." Pikachu groaned again, this time a little menacingly, his cheeks sparked a little more widely.

"Pikachu?" I asked, shaking the electric type a little, but he didn't wake up.

Gible leapt out of his hole and fired a Dragon Pulse at the Moltres, hitting it head on. Moltres quickly recovered and flew back into the sky.

Ash pointed up at Moltres. "Alright, use-"

Pikachu whole body suddenly began to spark, his face curled into anger. In his sleep, he shouted "PIKACHUUUUUUUU!"

And sparks flew.

Ash's POV

"Sky Attack!" I heard Tobias command a split second before I heard a horrible scream. I turned and saw huge flashes of light and electricity in the bleachers, in the center was Pikachu, who was asleep and releasing the electricity, and May, who had screamed.

Forgetting about the battle, I dashed towards the bleachers, but the field was so big. I watched as Barry jumped out of his seat and at May, grabbing Pikachu, and tumbling to the ground.

"Gible!" Gible exclaimed as he was hit by the Sky Attack, I turned to the field and saw he was knocked out.

No time, I thought, got to get to Pikachu.

I reached the bleachers and grabbed Pikachu from Barry, who was curled up on the ground blocking the electricity from hurting May. "Pikachu! Stop it!" I shouted, as much as the electricity hurt, I was used to it, the only people who had been electrocuted more than me was Team Rocket.

"Pikachu! It's me! Cut it out!" I exclaimed as I held Pikachu away from the others. "Pikachu!"

Suddenly the electricity ceased, I fell to my knees and opened my eyes, Pikachu was awake, still in my hands, looking around. He had a confused look on his face; he must not have known what had happened.

"Pikachu..." I said, I smiled weakly and hugged him, although still confused; Pikachu snuggled into my chest, moaning weakly. I turned around and saw Dawn, Lucario, Paul, and Scott all looking over Barry, who was on the ground. I walked over to him and knelt down.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked.

I waved it off. "Don't worry about it, buddy, I'll tell you later." I looked up at Scott, "Is he okay?"

Scott nudged Barry, who didn't move. A spark appeared as Scott touched him. "He took in a lot of electricity," he said, "His brain could be fried for all I know."

"Barry? Barry?" Dawn shouted, shaking him.

"We need to get the electricity out of him quickly, before he is seriously injured," Tobias said, walking up to us, "We need something that can absorb electricity."

Paul snapped his fingers. "I have an Electivire with the Motor Drive ability, he can absorb it."

Paul released Electivire and quickly told him what to do. Without the slightest hint of hesitation, Electivire knelt down by Barry and began to absorb the electricity in him. I walked over to May as Electivire absorbed the electricity in Barry. She was lying down on the bleacher, but unlike Barry she was awake, breathing heavily.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked, sitting down next to her head.

May cringed, "Hold on a minute," she said, she let out a burp, a few sparks of electricity came out of her mouth. She giggled, "May used Spark," she said.

I laughed and she sat up, smiling at Pikachu and scratching him under the chin. "You can be a real problem when you have a nightmare," she said as she scratched him.

"Gib?"

I looked down and saw Gible standing at my feet, he looked really tired. I picked him up and set him down on my lap. "Sorry about that, Gible," I said, "I got distracted." Gible nodded, seeming to accept my apology. He snuggled into my stomach and fell asleep.

"Gengar?" Gengar asked May, a slight frown on her face.

May smiled and ruffled Gengar's fur. "I'm fine, don't worry," she assured him, much to his relief.

"I'm glad your okay, but we should probably have Electivire absorb any electricity still running through your system." I told her.

May shook her head. "I'm fine, thanks for the concern though," she said, giving me a kiss. I could feel a slight shock as her lips touched mine.

"Right, we're going to still do it," I told her.

"Barry!"

We got up and walked over to Barry, who was just recovering from the major shock.

"Whoa... What happened?" Barry said, "I got a feeling someone's about to get fined..."

May knelt down next to him, explaining what happened to him. Barry recalled the event, remembering it well after May began to explain.

"Thanks for saving me," May said to him, smiling, "That was really brave of you."

Barry scratched the back of his head. "Aw shucks," he said, "A guy's got to do, what a guy's got to do."

May chucked, "I would hug you, but I don't know if I'm allowed."

Barry thought for a minute. "Just this one time," he said. May smiled and embraced him, which he returned.

"Consider us even," Barry said, "For yelling in your face and all that..."

It was good to see that the two were getting along.

We had Electivire absorb the electricity from May, who had taken in a surprising amount, and returned to the battle. Lucario and Dawn returned to sitting in the bleachers, May held onto Gible while Dawn held Pikachu.

"You ready for the next half of this battle, Ash?" Tobias said.

I smirked, "As I'll ever be!"

Tobias nodded, "Very good, choose your next Pokémon."

May's POV

"Ash lost Gible, Lucario, and Pikachu, leaving him with Gengar, Totodile, and Charizard," Paul said, "Tobias has lost Darkrai and Latios, and has a weakened Moltres, and three other unknown Pokémon." He sighed, "The tables have turned."

I scoffed, "Ash still has this, he just needs to play his cards right," I said.

Ash unclipped a Pokéball, tossing it into the air. "Totodile! I choose you!" He exclaimed. The little blue Pokémon appeared on the field, doing his cute little entrance dance.

"An interesting choice," Tobias said, "A small little creature up against a mighty legendary?"

"What's Ash doing?" Dawn asked, "I know Totodile has a type advantage, but how can something so small stand a chance against the Pokémon that just wiped out half of Ash's team?"

Paul sighed, he didn't look to happy. "I think I know what he's up to, it isn't going to be pretty," he groaned.

I leaned forward, careful not to drop Gible, and looked at him. "How can you tell what others are going to do during a Pokémon Battle?"

Paul shrugged, "It's easy with Ash, I've seen what he likes to do, moves that his team has, stuff like that," Paul explained. I simply shrugged and turned back to the battle field.

"Alright Totodile, use Rain Dance!" Ash said. Totodile began to perform rain dance, a blue sphere appeared over his head, and shot into the sky. Clouds quickly began to billow over us in the sky, and it started raining like crazy.

"Sunny Day!" Tobias exclaimed. Moltres performed Sunny Day, and shot an orange sphere into the sky. As quickly as they came, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped.

"Rain Dance!" Ash exclaimed.

"Oh dear Arceus," Paul groaned, "It's going to worse than I thought."

It quickly began to rain again. "Sunny Day!" Tobias shouted.

The rain stopped.

"Rain Dance!"

The rain returned.

"Sunny Day!"

And the rain went away.

"Rain Dance!"

It once again came back.

It was a bit confusing, being poured on by rain and then a split second later finding that the sun is blazing down with intense heat. The two battlers went back and forth for a while, much to Paul's dismay.

Eventually, Tobias let out a sigh. "You are a stubborn one Ash," he said, "I give up; I'll let you have your Rain Dance. Moltres, use Wing Attack!"

Sluggishly and clumsily, Moltres tried to attack Totodile, wings glowing brightly, but Totodile easily dodged.

"It's losing energy with the rain," Paul shouted over the pouring rain, "Ash might still have a chance!"

"Totodile, Use Ice Beam!" Ash exclaimed.

Totodile spun around to face Moltres and fired Ice Beam, hitting the legendary bird on the right wing. Ice began to encrust the tip of its wing, rendering it unable to fly. With a screech, Moltres fell to the ground with a thump.

"Try to break the ice!" Tobias shouted, Moltres slammed the frozen wing on the ground several times, but couldn't even crack it. And the sun wasn't out to melt the ice.

"Now's our chance, Totodile!" Ash exclaimed, "Use Skull Bash!"

Totodile dashed forward at his helpless opponent, ramming into it with such force, it actually fell on its back.

"Close range Hydro Pump!" Ash ordered. Totodile threw his head back and fired a powerful pillar of water at Moltres. With the boost of rain, there was no way Moltres would be able to withstand it.

When Totodile stopped the attack, Moltres was lying in a puddle of water, knocked out.

"Moltres is unable to battle," The referee said, "Ash and Totodile are the winners!"

"Yeah!" Barry shouted, "He took down Moltres!"

"It was like David and Goliath..." Dawn said, awestruck.

I cupped my hands around my mouth, "You're doing great, Ash!" I shouted.

"I wonder what Pokémon Tobias will use next," Barry said.

The rain wore off, dispersing and revealing the sun once more. "You've shown some impressive skills," Tobias said, "You have shown again and again how your determination and love for your Pokémon gives them enough strength to take down powerful legendaries."

Tobias unclipped another Pokémon, "But you still have three more Pokémon to go," he said, "Go! Cresselia!"

He tossed the Pokéball into the air and released his fourth Pokémon, this one was very elegant looking, its perfect curves formed a crescent shaped body, and crescent shaped head.

"Whoa..." I whispered in awe, "What I would give to use that in a contest..."

"Cresselia, the Lunar Pokémon." Barry's Pokédex said he must have pulled it out and scanned Cresselia, "Shining particles are released from Cresselia's wings like a veil, and it is said to represent the crescent moon."

Suddenly, Gible woke up from his little power nap, shaking his head and looking in the direction of the battle field.

"Ash beat Moltres," I told him, "isn't that great?"

Gible smiled and nodded. "Gi-ble!" he said excitedly.

Ash shook like a statue for a moment, gazing at the Cresselia. He appeared to be studying it, trying to come up with a way to defeat it. "Alright Totodile, are you ready?" Ash asked, Totodile nodded and growled, taking a battle stance.

"Use Slash!" Tobias ordered.

Cresselia swung her head, and with surprising speed, hit Totodile, knocking him to his back. He quickly got back up and glared at Cresselia.

"Rain Dance!" Ash exclaimed.

"Stop it!" Tobias shouted.

Totodile began to do his dance, but it was cut short when Cresselia rammed into him. "This isn't working," Ash mumbled, "Totodile, come back for a rest, I may need you later!" He said, pulling out his Pokéball and returning Totodile.

Ash turned to Gengar, who looked back with anticipation. "You ready to battle?" Ash asked him, Gengar nodded and floated to the field, gracefully landing on the ground. "Let's kick things off with a Shadow Ball!" Ash exclaimed.

"Dodge it!" Tobias ordered.

Cresselia began to spin around in circles around Gengar, making it impossible to hit her. "Slash!" Tobias said.

Cresselia stopped and once again swung her head; a razor sharp looking object flew at Gengar, but harmlessly passed through him. "I love it when people make that mistake," Ash said, "Shadow Ball!"

Gengar charged up the Shadow Ball and fired it at Cresselia, who had no time to dodge.

"Wow, even Tobias forgot Normal type attacks don't affect Ghost types," Paul said.

"I think Tobias is starting to feel the pressure," Scott said, "He's not used to losing, nobody has ever pushed him this far before. Now he may start make desperate attempts to stop Ash, and occasionally make mistakes."

Cresselia quickly recovered from the Shadow Ball and began to move around Gengar extremely fast, it would have been impossible to hit her.

... Except, of course, Gengar knew Shadow Punch.

"Gengar, use Shadow Punch!" Ash said.

Gengar threw his fist and a dark hand emerged from it, which magically followed Cresselia until it hit her. Tobias growled in annoyance.

"Hypnosis!" Ash ordered.

"Future Sight!" Tobias commanded.

Gengar lifted his hands and sent out yellow rings at Cresselia, whose eyes flashed a bright blue before being hit by the rings, putting her to sleep.

"Gengar," Ash said, "Come back!"

Gengar nodded and without question returned. "Totodile, use Crunch!" Ash said as he threw Totodile's ball into the air.

The water type appeared on the field, raced at Cresselia, and bit down on her.

"Again!"

Totodile bit down somewhere else.

"And again!"

Suddenly, a blue aura surrounded Totodile and it appeared as though he took a bit of damage.

"Future Sight must have taken effect," Dawn said.

"I don't get it," I began, "Why not just use Dream Eater? It's super powerful."

Scott chuckled. "Cresselia is a Psychic type, so Dream Eater wouldn't actually do much to her. Plus I think Ash didn't want Gengar to get badly hurt by a super effective Future Sight. Totodile can take the attack much better."

"Switch, you guys," Ash said, Gengar shot back onto the field and Totodile ran up to Ash's side, rather than going back into his Pokéball. At this point, Cresselia had woken back up.

"Gengar, use Hypnosis again," Ash said.

"Future Sight once more!" Tobias said in response.

Gengar once again sent rings out at Cressila, whose eyes flashed, signaling Future Sight had been activated, and she once again fell asleep.

"Switch!" Ash said, "Totodile, use Crunch on Cresselia as many times as you can before she wakes up!"

Totodile nodded and leapt at Cresselia, use Crunch in different places.

"And now that I think about it, Crunch is a Dark type move," Scott said, "So it is super effective against Cresselia."

Totodile once again was surrounded by an eerie aura and took some damage.

"Ash better watch out," Paul said, "I doubt Totodile can take another Future Sight, he needs to divert to another plan if he wants to save Totodile."

"Switch again!" Ash said, "Gengar, let's try Ominous Wind!"

Gengar threw his head back and prepared to attack, but when he did, only a purple puff came out of his mouth. "Dang it, I knew we should have mastered that move before this battle," Ash said.

"Cresselia, Use Aurora Beam!" Tobias shouted. Cresselia threw her head back and fired the Aurora Beam at Gengar. She nailed him, and even worse, froze him, a thick layer of ice surrounded Gengar, preventing him from moving.

...

"So... Is Gengar out?" Dawn asked.

I scratched my head. "Wait, Gengar is a ghost, he can control whether or not he's solid, can't he just-"

Gengar floated through the ice, leaving an outer hallow layer.

"-go through it..." I finished.

Without a command from Ash, Gengar threw his head back again and fired a powerful blast of purple wind at Cresselia, sending her flying.

"Hey! That's Ominous Wind! Gengar must have just mastered it!" Barry exclaimed.

Gengar began to glow, the glow grew brighter and brighter before exploding a burst of sparkles.

"Even better, he got the stat boosts from it, what luck!" Paul said. Dawn and I looked at him for a clearer explanation. "You see on rare occasions, Ominous Wind will boost all Pokémon stats, speed, attack, defense, everything." Paul said.

"Shadow Punch!" Ash said.

"Future Sight!" Tobias said.

A mere second before Gengar's Shadow Punch nailed Cresselia, her eyes flashed. She was then hit by the Shadow Ball, and the super effective move knocked her out.

...

"Cresselia is unable to battle," The referee said, "The winner is Ash Ketchum and his Gengar."

"That puts Ash ahead again!" Dawn said giddily.

"Yes, but again, both Totodile and Gengar are both really tired, especially Totodile, who took two Future Sights," Paul said, "Besides, I hardly expect Tobias's final two Pokémon to be easy."

"You never cease to amaze me," Tobias said, "Let's see how you like this Pokémon!"

Tobias threw out another Pokéball, "Go! Terrakion!" the Pokéball snapped open and with a thud that shook the stadium, a large bull like Pokémon appeared on the stage.

"Hey," Barry began, pulling out his Pokédex again. "I've never heard of that Pokémon before."

Paul squinted at the Pokémon. "I think it's from Unova," he said.

"Terrakion, the Cavern Pokémon," the Pokédex said, "Its charge is strong enough to break through a giant castle wall in one blow. This Pokémon is spoken of in legends."

"Wow, sounds powerful," Dawn said, "I'm glad I'm not the one fighting it."

"Gengar, Totodile, Switch!" Ash said.

The two Pokémon once again switched. I felt bad for little Totodile, who had to face a giant Terrakion.

"Hydro Pump!" Ash exclaimed.

Terrakion must not have been one for speed, because Totodile hit him head on with the attack. But it was cut short when the aura from Cresselia's last Future Sight appeared and attacked Totodile. The little blue water type couldn't handle the attack and fell over, knocked out.

Ash sighed and walked over to Totodile, kneeling down next to him; he cradled Totodile in his arms and congratulated him on the job well done. He walked the water type over to the bleachers and handed him to Barry, who set him down on his lap.

"Why don't you return Totodile and Gible to their Pokéballs for a rest like you normally do?" Dawn asked.

Ash smiled and adjusted his cap, "Because I want them to see our victory." With that, he walked back over to his proper spot on the field.

"Looks like it's up to Gengar and Charizard now," Scott said, "Ash better have something clever prepared."

"He must have something up his sleeve," Dawn said.

"Gengar got the stat boots from Ominous Wind, so he should be good to go," Barry added.

"Well, even if Totodile took the majority of the attacks, Gengar still got some damage," Paul said, "He's not fresh, luckily, Totodile did land that final Hydro Pump on Terrakion, so maybe that will even things out."

"Work Up!" Tobias exclaimed.

Terrakion let out a low growl, and began to glow. In a flash of light, the glowing disappeared and revealed the super charged Terrakion. It let out another growl and scraped his foot on the ground, as if preparing to charge.

"Stone Edge!" Tobias ordered.

White orbs began to circle around Terrakion, but they looked a bit larger than normal. With another growl, it launched the rocks at Gengar, pulverizing the Ghost type.

"Gengar!" Gengar exclaimed angrily.

"Use Shadow Ball!" Ash said.

"Deflect it with Protect!" Tobias said, Terrakion surrounded himself in a protective shield.

"Smack Down!" Tobias commanded.

Terrakion slammed his horn into the ground, causing a huge chunk of hard dirt to fly at Gengar, who was hit by the attack.

The Ghost type once again stood up, but something was wrong. Gengar attempted to float in the air, but he simply jumped and landed back on the ground.

"Rock Smash eliminates Gengar's ability to levitate and fly around," Scott said, "He's stuck on the ground for now."

"Great job, Terrakion, Now use Earthquake!" Tobias said.

The ground began to shake, knocking Gengar to his back and causing him to flop around like a Magikarp. "Gengar won't be able to take many more hits," Paul said, "Ash better do something."

"Hypnosis!" Ash exclaimed.

The ground stopped shaking and Gengar tiredly rose to his feet. His eyes began to glow and he sent out yellow rings at Terrakion, knocking the bull like Pokémon to sleep.

"Let's get back some health!" Ash said, "Dream Eater!"

Gengar ran forward towards the sleeping Terrakion, running straight through it and using Dream Eater. The attack stole Terrakion's energy and was given to Gengar. Terrakion woke up and rose to his feet, not looking quite as energized as he had before. Gengar on the other hand, looked a little refreshed, he still couldn't levitate though.

Tobias dramatically pointed at Gengar, shouting "Stone Edge!"

"Shadow Ball!" Ash said in response.

Terrakion prepared Stone Edge while Gengar charged up Shadow Ball. The two threw their attack at each other, but they collided.

Oddly, the Stones where sent flying in random directions, falling harmlessly to the ground, while Shadow Ball simply shot through them, ramming into Terrakion.

"Alright Gengar, let's wrap this up!" Ash said, "Use Shadow Punch!"

"Earthquake!" Tobias shouted.

Gengar sent out a Shadow Punch as the earth began to shake. The attack hit Terrakion, causing him to groan in pain. Eventually, Earthquake subsided, leaving both Pokémon alone to just stare at each other.

Both grunted, and fell over onto the ground, knocked out.

"Both Gengar and Terrakion are unable to battle," the referee said, "This round ends in a draw."

I watched Ash pick up Gengar off the field as Tobias returned Terrakion. He carried the ghost type over to the bleachers. "You did great, Gengar," Ash said, "You sure showed him who's boss."

Gengar smiled and nodded, seeming to be satisfied with his efforts. Ash handed him over to me, setting him down in my lap with Gible. Of course, Gengar immediately got off my lap and perched himself on my head.

"You were awesome," I told Gengar, "Good job."

Ash walked back to the field taking his place on the side designated for the trainer to stand.

"Well Ash, I never dreamed you would make it this far," Tobias said, "You definitely have proven yourself more than you can imagine." He raised his hand and waved it in the air, as if signaling something. "But this battle ends here."

Suddenly, we heard an amazingly loud roar, which overpowered even the speakers. The building vibrated as the loud noise rang through the air.

A shadow appeared on the ground as Tobias's final Pokémon fell from the sky and down to the massive field. Letting out a final roar, the Pokémon took a battle stance, ready to literally destroy whatever Ash sent out.

"Oh man..." Dawn whispered.

"Ash is screwed..." Paul groaned.

"Scott wasn't kidding when he said Tobias was desperate," Barry said.

Ash... I thought, How are you going to beat that?

So you know that part where I said this battle would be two chapters long?

I lied.

I honestly did think I would be able to finish up the battle in this chapter, but half way through the chapter I was like "Pfft, yeah right."

So yeah, this battle will conclude in part 3. :D

So who do you think Tobias's finally Pokémon is? Do you think Charizard will be able to defeat it?

So that was a lot of battling. I am totally going to be "battled out" when this is all over.

Leave a review! *Insert reason here.*

Oh, I may not update next Friday, schedule is killing me.

Toodles,
The Shiny Gengar
