Pokemon: Return of a Hero
I'm back ficcers with the thirty seventh chapter of my pokemon fanfic: Pokemon: Return of a Hero. This will be the second half (And hopefully conclusion) of the round nine battle between Ash and Serena. Before I posted the previous chapter I discovered that I had reached one hundred reviews. Thank you to all of you who have placed a review on my story, they are very entertaining to read to say the least. So like I have been saying time and time again there will be a bid revelation in the next chapter (Plus the appearance of the only real OC in the entire story) Trust me once the ICT ends things are going to become much more interesting so just hang in there and wait because that time is coming soon. With that out of the way now let's get on with the fic.
Chapter XXXVII
Serena grabbed the fourth pokeball on her belt knowing the perfect pokemon to fight Pikachu. "Sylveon I choose you!" Said Serena sending out her fairy typed eeveelution. Pikachu got on all fours ready to face Sylveon, the electric type was a little tired from fighting Jolteon but he could still probably last for a while. "Pikachu let's start this off with Quick attack!" Instructed. Ash. Pikachu dashed at Sylveon leaving a white trail behind him from his speed.
"Sylveon counter with Swift!" Ordered Serena. Creating stars on her ribbons she launched the never-miss normal type move at Pikachu. Knowing he couldn't avoid the stars Pikachu decided to use them. Pikachu jumped from one star after another taking minimum damage then he collided head first with Sylveon. The fairy type was knoacked back, just then the stars circled around and upper cutted Pikachu in the jaw knoacking the electric type in the air.
Ash decideds to try to use this to his advantage. "Pikachu use Electro ball!" Commanded Ash. Pikachu creates a ball of electricity on his tail as he start plummeting back towards the field and Sylveon. "Sylveon counter with Shadow ball!" Shouted Serena. Sylveon creates the ghost typed ball of shadows on he left ribbon and prepares for the incoming Pikachu. When Pikachu is about a foot away from Sylveon they use their moves.
Both pokemon swing their moves to the opposite side so that both pokemon take the opponent's spherical attack straight to the face causing an explossion that creates a smoke cloud making it so that no one can see for a moment. Pikachu is sent flying out of the cloud and lands on the steel floor with a loud CLANG! Pikachu faints after that. "Pikachu os unable to battle." Says the referee waving his flag at Serena and Sylveon.
Ash walks to the field and picks Pikachu up and carries him back to his spot. Then the field changes again, this time it just looks like a regular battle field, no grass, no trees, no water, nothing just a plain old normal field. Ash reaches four his fourth pokemon. "Samurott I choose you!" Says Ash sending out the quadruped samurai otter. Samurott beats his chest one time with his front right paw to show that he is ready to fight.
"Samurott use Air slash!" Ordered Ash. Samurott jumped into the air then swung his fron legs creating spinning blades of air and launched them at Sylveon. "Sylveon use Psyshock to destroy them!" Instructed Serena. Sylveon created the strange wave of psychic energy that destroyed the incoming blades. "Now Samurott, use Razor shell!" Shouted Ash. Samurott dashed straight towards Sylveon with an increcible speed.
"Sylveon use Moonblast!" Commanded Serena quickly hoping that Sylveon could counter in time. Sylveon gathers moonlight energy in her ribbons then fired it at the incoming Samurott. Just before the Moonblast struck Samurott suddenly disappeared and nobody could see where he went. "Where did he-?" Asked Serena confused. Out of nowhere Samurott appeared in front of Sylveon. He grabs the shell on his front left leg with his front right front leg.
"Sylveon look out!" Said Serena but she was too late. Samurott slashed Sylveon with the Razor shell knocking the fairy type with water type attack. Sylveon fainted upon impact and she fell to the ground. "Sylveon is unable to battle!" Declared the referee. Serena recalled her Sylveon to her pokeball. Then Serena grabbed her fifthe pokeball. "Altaria I choose you!" Said Serena sending out her dragon and flying type pokemon.
"An Altaria? I'm impressed." Stated Ash. Serena smilled at Ash's kind words. "Samurott use Megahorn!" Commanded Ash. Samurott's horn started glowing as he charged at Altaria. "Altaria use Steel wing!" Ordered Serena. Altaria's wings began glowing a metalic silver. Samurott's horn clashed with Altaira's wings. Neither pokemon gave and inch. Each of them got a few good hit's in and eventually both of them stopped and were panting and tired.
"Samurott use Hydor pump!" Instructed Ash. Samurott fired a gigantic burst of water at Altaria. "Altaria use Dazzeling gleam!" Shouted Serena. Altaria fires a widespread fairy typed blast at the incoming Hydro pump. The two moves clashed but Dazzeling gleam was to strong and over powered Hydro pump then the Dazzeling gleam hit Samurott. The Unovan water starter fainted upon impact.
"Samurott is unable to battle!" Declared the referee. Ash recalled Samurott to his pokeball then he reached for the fifth pokeball on his waist. "Talonflame I choose you!" Said Ash sending out his Kalos bird pokemon. With that Ash and Serena resumed their battle. "Talonflame use Flame charge!" Ordered Ash. Talonflame surrounded himself in fire as he charged at Altaria at an increasing speed. "Altaria use Ice beam!" Commanded Serena.
Altaria fired the glowing beam of ice from her mouth at the incoming Talonflame. The ice slowed Talonflame down a little but it couldn't stop him as he collided with Altaria. The dragon type was knocked back by the Flame charge. Talonflame flew away from Altaria after hitting the flying type. As Talonflame circled away Serena called out her next attack. "Altaria use Dragon pulse!" Instructed Serena. Altaria took a deep breath then fired the draconic beam from her mouth.
"Dodge the Dragon pulse and then use Brave bird!" Shouted Ash. Talonflame circled back towards Altaria and then began glowing blue. It rocketed at Altaria at an incredible speed. Talonflame spun in the air to avoid the dragon typed special move then he hit Altaria with the powerful flying typed move. Altaria fell to the ground from the impact of the Brave bird and fainted, no longer able to battle. "Altaria is unable to battle!" Announced the referee waving his flags.
The normal field changed and altered to become the final field since the ninth pokemon had just fainted. Now the field had become a rock field. There were six large pillars of rock coming out of the ground to form a circle on the field. Serena sighed as she recalled Altaria to her pokeball. She reached for the sixth and final pokeball on her waist. "Delphox I choose you!" Said Serena sending out her fire and psychic typed fox pokemon.
"Talonflame use Steel wing!" Instructed Ash. Talonflame flew at Delphox with his wings glowing silver. "Delphox use Psybeam!" Commanded Serena. Delphox held up her wooden stick and fired the blast of psychic energy at Talonflame. The Psybeam knocked Talonflame off course causing the fire type to crash into one of the stone pillars. Talonflame fluttered around for a moment trying to regain his senses.
"Talonflame use Flare blitz!" Ordered Ash. Talonflame surrounded himself in blue flames then he charged at Delphox. "Delphox use Fire blast!" Shouted Serena. Delphox grabs her stick/wand with both hands, then fires (lol) the super powerful fire type move at the incoming Talonflame. The two moves collide for a moment before Talonflame's fatigue over takes him and then he is over powered by the Fire blast. The flying type faints before he can hit the ground.
"Talonflame is unable to battle!" Says the referee waving his flags around. Ash recalls the fire type to his pokeball, then he reaches for his sixth and final pokemon. "Snorlax I choose you!" Said Ash sending out the pokemon known as: the sleeping pokemon. May, Max, and Brock all stare at Snorlax for a moment. Then at the same time all three of them begin to chuckle happily. "What's so funny?" Asks Iris confused.
"It's Ash's Snorlax, he has a special trait that I have only ever seen on this Sonorlax and no other pokemon." Explains May. "Even though it shouldn't even be possible." States Max and Brock nods his head in agreement. "What special trait?" Asks Sawyer confused. May smirks. "You'll see it has to do with Snorlax's moveset." Says the Hoenn coordinator. Misty is confused. "But Ash had Snorlax with him some of the time I was travelling and I never saw anything special." Says Misty.
"Snorlax probably didn't gain this cool trick until the Battle Frontier if that's the case." Says Max. "Snorlax use Headbutt!"Commanded Ash. Snorlax runs up to Headbutt Delphox. "Delphox use Hidden power (dark)!" Instructed Serena. Delphox fires off a black variant of the Hidden power move at the incoming Snorlax. "Headbutt the Hidden power!" Says Ash. Snorlax hit's the sphere of darkness with his head but doesn't even seem fazed.
"Hmm Headbutt, not a bad move, has thirty percent flinch, not bad." States Ritchie. "Delphox use Mystical fire!" Ordered Serena. Delphox creates a circle of fire with her wand and then fires it at Snorlax. "Snorlax use Protect!" Shouted Ash. Snorlax creates a defenssive wall and blocks the attack. "Protect, an interesting ingredient, let's you see what the opponent can do without risking damage." States Cilan.
"Snorlax use Ice punch!" Orders Ash. Snorlax charges at, then swings a frozen fist at Delphox. "Delphox use Psybeam to stop him!" Instructed Serena. Delphox hits Snorlax with the psychic type move stopping the normal type in hhis tracks. "Ice punch, an OK move, it only has ten percent freeze chance, but you know, Ash get's lucky a lot." Says Trip. "Snorlax use Body slam!" Shouts Ash. Snorlax leaps into the air and goes flying at Delphox.
"Delphox use Fire blast!" Commands Serena. Delphox raises her little wand and shoots the very powerful fire type move at the incoming Snorlax. The Fire blast hits Snorlax and throws the normal type off causing him to hit the ground instead of Delphox. Snorlax weakly get's to his feet, then Fire blast's effect activates causing Snorlax to be burnt. Ash grimaces at this predicament, fortunately he knows just what to do. Paul frowns at the battle.
"Are you kidding? This moveset is terrible, three normal type moves and and ice type move?" Says Paul angrilly. "Wait for it." Says May smugley. "Wait for what? Snorlax already used four moves: Headbutt, Protect, Ice punch, and Body slam. He can't use anythi-" Says Paul until he was interrupted by Ash. "Snorlax use Rest!" Instructed Ash. "Finally." Says Snorlax falling asleep, regaining his health and being cured of his burn.
You know how in animes when something really crazy or surprising happens the color drains from a bunch of characters and they all have blank expressions? Yeah that was pretty much everyone in the stadium except for Ash, May, Max, Brock, and Snorlax. "WHAAAAAT!?" Shouted the entire stadium. Sawyer blinked multiple times trying to process what just happened. He looks at his hand and starts counting what he just saw.
"One: Headbutt, Two: Protect, Three: Ice punch, Four: Body slam, and now Rest." States Sawyer holding up five fingers. "Delphox use Hidden power!" Ordered Serena Delphox shot a sphere of darkness at Snorlax who just took the hit and didn't even seem bothered by it. "What the heck! How does Snorlax know five moves?!" Shouts Sawyer. Brock, May, and Max all shrug. "Delphox use Psybeam!" Shouts Serena.
Delphox fires the psychic type move at Snorlax who again seems unfazed by the attack. "We don't know how Snorlax knows more than four moves, heck not even Ash knows, Snorlax just knows more than four moves and that's all there is to it." Says Max plainly. "Delphox use Fire blast!" Commanded Serena. Delphox fires the powerful fire type move at Snorlax again. After hitting Snorlax the normal type finally woke up with a yawn.
"Well the only thing that would make this crazier is that if Snorlax somehow could use six mo-" Says Trip who is cut off by Serena. "Delphox use Mystical fire!" Instructed Serena. Delphox creates a circle with her sitck then launched the flaming circle at Snorlax. "Alright Snorlax let's finish this, use Hyper beam!" Commanded Ash. Snorlax takes a deep breath and fires the devestating beam at Delphox.
You remember how everyone reacted to Rest? Take that and double it, that is how everyone who reacted last time, except for Serena and Delphox, reacted this time. The Hyper bame destroyed the Mystical fire easily then when it struck Delphox the fire fox fainted. "Are you kidding me?! Six moves? SIX!?" Shouted Trip in flabbergasted shock. "Delphox is unable to battle meaning the winner of this battle is Ash Ketchum!" Declares the referee.
Ash and Serena recall their pokemon to their respective pokeballs then exit the stadium. On their way out they are met with the press. "Ash Ketchum how was your Snorlax able to use six moves?" Asked one. Ash shrugged. "Who do you think you will fight in the next round?" Asked another. "Black without a doubt, I mean, Paul is a strong trainer and everything but even he can't beat Black." Replies Ash. The reporters make a note of this.
"Do you think you can beat Black?" Asked a third reporter. Ash smiled at this question. "Well I can't promise anything, but I want to become the worlds greates pokemon master, meaning that I'll have to be able to beat any and everyone I face, that includes Black." Says Ash. This time all the reporters write his answer down at the same time. "Last question: Are you and Miss Serena here an item? The world is dying to know." Says the final reporter. Ash blinks for a moment unsure how he should answer that.
First and foremost, sorry if there are any words that should have the letter H but don't, my H key has been giving me problems as of late. Second Ash's Snorlax does actually know six moves in the anime, if you watch the episode in the Battle Frontier series where Ash battles Greta and pay close attention, you'll see that Snorlax does actually use six different move, so even though Snorlax is breaking the rules I'm not so no flames against me for using a six move Snorlax. Also, I know I have said it multiple times but there will be a big revelation in the next chapter, and I mean big! Like "certain theories about the pokemon world being confirmed" level big. Also can any of you guess the seceret identity of Black, if you can I'll give a big shout out to you in chapter thirty nine, which is two chapters from now and when the battle will begin and when Black's identity is revealed. I think that is all I need to say so I'm going to go, so until next time fic fans. Nemon0416 is outta here!
