"Welcome, everybody! This is the last battle of the top 8! The winner will move onto the semi finals, but let's focus on this battle right now! Our first trainer, Owen Plateau has been the Cinderella story of the Indigo League! And our second trainer, Vincent Laguino! He has steam rolled his way to the top 8, not having any of his Pokemon faint! This battle will be 6 vs. 6! Both trainers may use substitution! Begin!"

"Go Wartortle!"

"Go Kingdra! Use Dragon Rage!" Kingdra was turquoise, with a yellow stomach. It had two fins on its back, a curled up tail, and a long nose to go with two antennas. Kingdra shot a large yellow ball at Wartortle.

"Spin and use Hydro Pump!" The whip like action on Hydro Pump sliced through Dragon Rage, and hit Kingdra.

"Hit it with a close range Dragonbreath!" Vincent dictated. Kingdra file over towards Wartortle, and then hit it with green flames. Wartortle was knocked onto its back, and couldn't get up! "End it with a close rang Dragon Rage!" Wartortle saw Kingdra hovering above him as it charged Dragon Rage.

"Ice Beam!" Owen ordered. BOOM! Both Pokemon were knocked out instantly.

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle! Trainers, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Hitmonchan!"

"Hitmontop, go!" A brown topped Pokemon was standing on its head. It had two long brown ears, two brown arms, three blue legs, three blue feet, and a pin on its head that it used to balance itself.

"Hitmonchan, use Thunder Punch!" Hitmonchan jabbed Hitmontop in the stomach.

"Hitmontop, use Hi Jump Kick!" Hitmontop jumped into the air, began to spin like a top, and then kicked Hitmonchan in the face. Hitmonchan hopped back up, ready for battle.

"Hitmonchan, use Sky Uppercut!"

"Hitmontop, use Mega Kick!" Both Pokemon hit each other with powerful attacks. Hitmonchan collapsed on the ground.

"Hitmonchan is unable to battle! Owen, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Venasaur, go! Use Razor Leaf!" Venasaur hopped into battle and struck Hitmontop with a countless number of leaves.

"Hitmontop, return! Go, Fortress!" A large spherical Pokemon was ready to battle Venasaur. It had pink armor on the top of its head, and the bottom of its body. There was a stripe of red where its eyes were. And there were two long red stems on the sides of its body.

"Venasaur, use Vine Whip!" Venasaur smacked Fortress repeatedly, but the ball of a Pokemon was still floating.

"Use Rollout!"

"Counter with Solarbeam!" Fortress rolled into its own demise as Venasaur let loose a green ray of energy that obliterated the steel and bug type.

"Fortress is unable to battle! Vincent choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Noctowl! Use Aerial Ace!" A large owl appeared. It had a large white 'Y' shape on its forehead, with red eyes. Noctowl flew towards Venasaur with white streaks behind it. Noctowl launched Venasaur back, and prepared for another attack.

"Venasaur, return! Go, Arcanine! Use Extremespeed!" Noctowl just missed Venasur, and then Arcanine appeared, and slammed into the bird in a blink of an eye.

"Noctowl, use Psychic!" A blue beam was sent towards Arcanine.

"Dodge it, and then use Flamethrower!" Arcanine zoomed towards Noctowl, completely dodging the attack. Arcanine then roasted the owl, and knocked it out.

"Noctowl is unable to battle! Vincent, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Umbreon! Use Surf!" Umbreon was a black dog with glowing gold patches all over it's body, and it had red eyes. The strange Pokemon created a tidal wave that swept over Arcanine, who took a substantial amount of damage from the attack.

"Arcanine use Extremespeed!"

"Counter!" Arcanine was in front of Umbreon in a second, and then tackled a red glass wall. The wall began to glow, and then it exploded, sending Arcanine flying into Owen. Arcanine was unconscious, and had swirls for eyes.

"Arcanine is unable to battle! Owen, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go,Tauros! Use Rage!" Tauros began to smack itself with its three tails. Tauros started to blow smoke out of its nose.

"Umbreon, use Double Edge!" Umbreon dashed towards Tauros, with a ray of white light following closely behind it. Tauros was hit by the attack, and just got even angrier!

"Tauros, use Earthquake!" Tauros slammed its hooves on the ground, causing a pillar of rock to shoot up from underneath Umbreon, and hit it in the chin! "Now use Headbutt!" Tauros charged forward and slammed into the falling Umbreon who was smashed into a wall.

"Umbreon is unable to battle! Vincent, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Hitmontop, let's roll! Use Hi Jump Kick!" Hitmontop's feet began to glow white as it descended from above.

"Tauros, use Hyper Beam!" Hitmontop cut through the Hyper Beam, and knocked into Tauros' mouth! BOOM!

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle! Trainers choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go Venasaur!"

"Go, Typhlosion! Use Lava Plume!" Typhlosion was a bipedal fire echidna-hedgehog mixture. It had a yellow underbelly, with a blue top, and a ring of fire around its neck. It shot off a series of red stones that planted themselves int the ground, and then blew up!

"Venasaur, use Vine Whip!" Venasaur shot two vines from its back, but Typhlosion caught them!

"Finish it with Flamethrower!" Venasaur was burnt to a crisp, and then fainted.

"Venasaur is unable to battle! Owen, choose your last Pokemon!"

"Charizard, I'm counting on you! Use Aerial Ace!" Charizard soared out of its Pokeball, and rammed into Typhlosion.

"Typhlosion, counter with Quick Attack!" Typhlosion hurled itself into Charizard, knocking back the winged lizard Pokemon.

"Now use Flamethrower!" both trainers shrieked. A large ball of fire was created in the middle of the battlefield.

"Charizard, use Seismic Toss!" Charizard quickly snatched Typhlosion off of the ground and began to pull the fire type into the air.

"Bite it, Typhlosion!" Typhlosion bit Charizard's arm, and Charizard let out an ear piercing roar. However, Charizard proceeded to use Seismic Toss, and both Pokemon slammed into the middle of the battlefield.

"Charizard, come back here!"

"Typhlosion, use Flame Wheel!" Typhlosion began to topspin as it covered itself in a ball of fire, and then rolled towards Charizard.

"Cover yourself in Flamethrower, and then use Aerial Ace!" Charizard replicated Flame Wheel, and both Pokemon collided. BOOOOOOOOM! Smoke covered the field, and nobody could see a thing. A moment passed and both Pokemon were still standing as the smoke faded. "Use Aerial Ace!" Charizard flew over to the defenseless Pokemon, but fell down mid flight!

"Charizard is unable to battle! Vincent Laguino wins and is moving on to the semi finals!

That's what I call a heartbreaker. Owen has been defeated by Vincent Laguino. What kind of Pokemon did he even use? Find out in the next and final chapter of Pokemon Kanto Adventure!
