Chapter 49

As the break ended I was back on the battlefield and so was Jerry and the referee, "Trainers release your pokemon and let the battle resume." With that referee continued the battle.

Jerry sent out his fourth pokemon, "Dragonite, up you go."

I sent out my pokemon, "Articuno, you are up."

Jerry decided to recall Dragonite and then he sent out his fifth pokemon, "Infernape, let's go."

Articuno covered the field in a hailstorm by using Hail, the hailstorm easily clouded Infernape's vision and Articuno was safely hidden in it. Articuno increased the hailstorm by trapping Infernape in a Hurricane and Infernape was unable to do anything to defend itself, as the Hurricane ended Infernape gathered its strength and used Heat Wave to cancel out the hailstorm. Articuno didn't gave Infernape any respite as she charged toward Infernape and hit it with an Aerial Ace, Infernape was thrown back by the powerful Aerial Ace but it lowly composed itself and stood back up to hit back Articuno with a Flamethrower. Infernape tried to use another Flamethrower on Articuno but this time she was ready for it, Articuno countered the Flamethrower with a Water Pulse of her own. The two attacks collided and cancelled out each other resulting in a thick fog, Articuno used the fog to her advantage and hit Infernape with another Aerial Ace.

Infernape was looking exhausted after getting hit by three powerful and super effective flying type attacks, "Articuno let's end this, use Aerial Attack." I shouted toward Articuno. Jerry looked toward me in confusion but his question was quickly answered as Articuno combined Aerial Ace with Sky Attack and charged toward Infernape. Jerry shouted at Infernape ton dodge in desperation but it was of no use as the Aerial Attack was nearly impossible to dodge, Articuno collided with Infernape with Aerial Attack and as a result Infernape fell down to the ground knocked out unconscious.

"Infernape is unable to battle, Jerry send out your second last pokemon." Referee announced and Jerry recalled his Infernape.

"Dragonite, lets win this." With that Jerry sent out his Dragonite again.

Articuno used a powerful Hail that covered the whole area, Dragonite used Thunder but Articuno was able to dodge it and then hit back Dragonite with an Ice Beam. Dragonite was pushed back but it quickly steadied itself and charged forward at Articuno and hit Articuno with a combination of Extreme Speed and Steel Wings. Articuno was hurled back but she composed herself in the sky to hit Back Dragonite with Ancient Power, Dragonite fell down to the ground but quickly stood back up to attack Articuno with Stone Edge. Articuno used Aurora Veil to reduce the damage from attacks before the Stone Edge hit her dead on. Stone Edge hit Articuno and she too fell down to the ground but she quickly recovered and hit back Dragonite with an Aerial Attack, Dragonite was sent smashing onto the ground by the force of the attack.

"Let's end this Articuno, use Sheer Cold." I shouted and in response Articuno turned down the temperature in the surrounding exponentially in a matter of seconds with Sheer Cold, Dragonite was left stuttering after few moments it fell down to the ground knocked out cold and unconscious.

"Dragonite is unable to battle, Jerry please send out your last pokemon." Referee announced, Jerry sighed and recalled his Dragonite.

Jerry then sent out his last pokemon which was another dragon type pseudo legendry pokemon, "Garchomp you are my last hope, let's go."

I decided to recall back Articuno, "Come back Articuno, you have done a great job." I then sent out my next pokemon to compete with Garchomp.

I looked at Jerry and said, "You have some great pokemon Jerry and I would have love to battle them but today I want to send a massage to the first finalist Tobias. It's time for me to end this battle quickly, Celebi you are up."

Jerry Frowned, "Garchomp let's show them our true strength, strengthen our connection and mega evolve." With that Jerry mega evolved his Garchomp.

I grinned, "It won't matter Jerry, Celebi use Perish Song."

Jerry cursed and ordered his Mega Garchomp to use Hyper Beam on Celebi, Celebi quickly used Protect in reply and the protect barrier was able to withstand the Hyper Beam. Mega Garchomp dashed at Celebi and was able to hit her with a Dragon Claw, Celebi was thrown back but she composed herself and hit back Mega Garchomp with Leaf Storm. Mega Garchomp was trapped in a storm of leaves but it was able to get out of it, Mega Garchomp wasn't looking much tired but Jerry knew that Mega Garchomp only had one move left before Perish Song takes effect. "Garchomp, give it your all and use Draco Meteor."

"Celebi use Dazzling Gleam quick, then stay under Mega Garchomp." I shouted in reply, Mega Garchomp sent the Draco Meteor up into the air but just then it was hit with Dazzling Gleam from Celebi. Celebi used her small height and Mega Garchomp's momentary blindness from the Dazzling Gleam to her advantage and got under Mega Garchomp's body, Mega Garchomp didn't see his own Draco Meteors coming down as the Draco Meteor hit Mega Garchomp and meanwhile Celebi was safe under it. Mega Garchomp changed back to Garchomp and fell down to the ground knocked out unconscious.

"Garchomp is unable to battle, the winner of this pokemon battle and the second finalist is Harry Potter." Referee announced me the winner as the whole stadium cheered.

A two days break was given before the finals of the Lily Of The Valley Conference which was between me and Tobias, I was sitting in a local restaurant with Cynthia and Sirius as they were discussing their wedding plans. The both of them were planning to get married in a week time in the home town of Cynthia, Celestic Town. The invitations for the marriage were sent to most of the prominent people and close relatives from all around the world, Cynthia wanted it to be a private ceremony but her celebrity status and Sirius popularity didn't help in that matter.

It was then my opponent in the league final approached me, "Hello Tobias."

Tobias gave a small smile and replied, "Hello Harry Potter, can we talk."

I shrugged, "Sure." Sirius indicated toward the empty seat opposite to me and Tobias sat down.

Tobias started, "You see I am not really a pokemon battler, I started my journey as a pokemon trainer who was hoping to win pokemon leagues but meeting a certain pokemon change that." We all listened Tobias story interestingly as he continued, "I started from Eterna city with an official Sinnoh starter pokemon and you can say that I was talented and a bit arrogant as well, I defeated all the eight Sinnoh gym and got their badges. I was on my way to the Lily Of The Valley Island when I met a legendry pokemon for the first time, it was a Darkrai. In my arrogance I challenged it to a battle against my starter pokemon who was now a very strong Infernape."

I said, "Let me guess, you lost from Darkrai."

Tobias smiled and nodded, "Yes, we put up a good fight but despite the type advantage Darkrai defeated us. I was shocked and that day I vowed to become stronger and catch the Darkrai that defeated us, I didn't compete in the league as I spent a year training my pokemon and especially my Infernape to a rematch. Finally I was able to find that Darkrai again and this time I defeated him although barely, after that I didn't find any fun in challenging a league so I decided to search for other legendry pokemon and catch them."

I nodded, "I caught my first legendry pokemon which was Articuno just like you did in a rematch but I am sure you are not here to share life stories, what do you want Tobias?"

Tobias smiled, "It was in Hoenn where I saw you for the first time in the league when you used your legendry pokemons, I wanted to have a battle with you. After a bit of searching I found out that you were coming to Sinnoh so I decided to use the badges I earned when I started my journey and take part in the league where I could face you, in our battle I want you to use your best team against me and I'll do the same. I have six legendry pokemon with me till date but one of them is too young so you'll be facing a team of five legendry pokemon and my starter."

I nodded, "I didn't need to know that but since you are sharing your team I'll tell you mine, I will be using my first four legendry pokemon and the two pokemon I started my journey with."

Tobias nodded as he got up, "I'll meet you in the battlefield then." With that he left.

Cynthia said, "Looks like there is another trainer like you who has legendry pokemon in his team, you will finally get a competition in the finals."

I nodded, "We'll see, it's not like I everyday get a chance to use all of my strongest pokemon in a single team. I have been waiting for a real challenge for a long time and I hope Tobias can give me that."

Cynthia nodded and then said, "You know, after seeing this many legendry pokemon I am in the mood to get one for myself."

I laughed, "Well it depends on your luck."

Cynthia grinned, "Let's see if lady luck visits me any time soon." She then got up, "I have a meeting with Mr Goodshow, Sirius would you like to join me?"

Sirius shrugged, "Sure, see you later pup." With that the two of them left.

Just when Cynthia and Sirius went out of sight that I was joined by Paul and Barry, "I should fine you for not telling me that you know the Sinnoh champion Cynthia." Barry said in his usual way.

Paul and Barry sat down with me as I replied, "She is engaged to my godfather Sirius Black and they are getting married soon, so of course I know her."

Paul nodded, "So that's how you know her, I was shocked when see recognized you when I challenged her to a battle."

Barry eyes widened, "You battled her, what happened?"

Paul grunted in reply, "Her Lucario defeated all of my six pokemon, although I am a lot stronger now." Paul then added in an afterthought, "Harry battled and draw with her Garchomp."

"For real, isn't Garchomp is her strongest pokemon?" Barry asked.

I nodded in reply, "Yes, Garchomp is her strongest pokemon and then comes her Lucario."

"So, did you use your strongest pokemon?" Barry asked.

I shook my head in negative, "No, my strongest pokemon is Hedwig which is my Togekiss. Hedwig got a type advantage on Garchomp so I used my second strongest pokemon, that is my Charizard."

Barry looked confused, "Your legendry pokemon aren't your strongest."

Paul grunted, "To catch a pokemon you need to defeat it and for that you need a stronger pokemon to do so."

I smiled, "Partially true but sometimes a bit of motivation and skill can help a pokemon defeat a pokemon stronger than it."

"You don't use your Togekiss much in battle?" Paul asked.

I smiled, "Hedwig is my strongest pokemon but she is not very battle savvy, I use her when I really need her otherwise she helps in training all of the pokemon especially the younger ones. Hedwig may not fight regularly in official battles but she has to always fight for the top position with my Charizard and Rayquaza, I don't like overpowering my opponents with strong pokemons."

Paul replied, "But you did that in the semi-finals."

I smiled and nodded, "I did it as a massage for Tobias."

Paul nodded in understanding, "What is your strongest team?" Barry asked.

I grinned, "Now that's a surprise but don't worry, you will see them in action in the finals against Tobias."

It was finally time for the final battle of the Lily Of The Valley Conference, the whole stadium was fully packed and not a single seat was empty in the whole stadium not even in the VIP Box. Announcer said loudly, "Welcome one and all present here and to those as well who are watching this from their home, welcome to the final of this year's Lily Of The Valley Conference."

I entered the battlefield first with Zorua trailing behind me as the announcer introduced me, "Our first finalist is a young man who is very talented and is said to be one of the best trainers in the world, he is the youngest winner of a regional league and is here today to win his third league in a row after winning in Johto and Hoenn. He is known to be trainer of many legendry pokemon, please welcome Harry Potter from Kanto." The whole stadium erupted in cheers.

As the cheers died down the announcer introduced Tobias who entered the grass battlefield from my opposite side, "To challenge Harry for the spot of the winner we have a local resident of Sinnoh's Eterna city, he is a mystery trainer who has till now only revealed his legendry pokemon Darkrai. Please welcome Tobias." A referee entered the arena and took his position as the announcer continued, "Let's see if Harry Potter can get a hat-trick and win his third regional pokemon league in a row or our local mysterious trainer Tobias continue his domination."

"This final battle of Lily Of The Valley Conference will be a full six on six pokemon battle between Harry Potter and Tobias, both of the trainers are allowed to substitute their pokemon in the middle of the battle and the battle will be over when any of the trainer loose all six of his pokemon. We will be taking a short break when any three of a trainer are unable to battle, trainers please send out your first pokemon and let the battle begin." With that Referee started the battle officially.

"Articuno, you are up." I sent out my first pokemon.

In reply Tobias sent out his first pokemon which was another legendry bird of Kanto, "Moltres go."

The two legendry bird pokemons started a staring contest of their own, after some time Tobias ordered to use Flamethrower and I ordered Articuno to use Ice Beam. The Ice Beam and Flamethrower were equally powerful and they cancelled each other, Moltres dashed at Articuno with Flame Charge and Articuno used Aurora Veil to take less damage from any attacks. Moltres collided with Articuno while using Flame Charge but Articuno was able to keep herself steady and then she hit back Moltres with Water Pulse. Moltres was taken aback as the Water Pulse hit it and Articuno used Hail to hid herself in the hailstorm, Articuno came from behind Moltres and hit it with an Aerial Ace. Moltres tried to hit back Articuno with Overheat but Articuno was able to hid herself again in the hailstorm.

Articuno dropped down the temperature by using Blizzard which was mixed in the hailstorm and hit Moltres dead on, Moltres shuddered in the cold but before it could do anything to counter Articuno hit it with Ancient Power. Moltres fell down to the ground after getting hit by the Ancient Power but he got back up and used Heat Wave which hit Articuno and took care of the hailstorm by making the weather clear again. Moltres didn't gave Articuno any chance and attacked her with a Fire Blast, Articuno couldn't dodge the Fire Blast but tried to cancel it out with Ice Beam. Unfortunately for Articuno her Ice Beam wasn't powerful enough to cancel out the Fire Blast, Fire Blast overpowered the Ice Beam and hit Articuno dead on.

Moltres used Hyper Beam on the dazed Articuno but she recovered quickly and used her own Hyper Beam to match Moltres's Hyper Beam, the two Hyper Beam collided in an explosion and cancelled out each other. Articuno dashed at Moltres with Sky Attack and Moltres did the same, the two legendry bird type pokemon collided with their respective Sky Attacks but both were equally powerful and were thrown back after they collided with their attack. Moltres quickly hit Articuno with a Flamethrower but Articuno wasn't going to back down and hit back Moltres with an Ice Beam, before Moltres could reply Articuno again hit Moltres with Ancient Power sending him falling onto the ground. Moltres was injured but it slowly got back up and Articuno was also showing signs of tiredness, Articuno used Freeze Dry on Moltres which nearly froze Moltres.

"Burn up that ice with Heat Wave Moltres, then use Overheat" Tobias shouted.

I shouted back, "Don't give Moltres any chance Articuno, finish it with Sheer Cold."

Articuno was very tired from the long battle and she wasn't quick enough to stop Moltres from using Heat Wave which melted the ice covering Moltres, Moltres fired an Overheat at Articuno at the same time Articuno used Sheer Cold. The combination of hot and cold covered the whole area in a thick fog as the two attacks hit their respective targets, the fog cleared and revealed the two pokemon lying down on the ground knocked out unconscious.

"Both Moltres and Articuno are unable to continue, trainers please send out your second pokemon." Referee announced and both Tobias and I recalled our unconscious pokemon.

"Entei go." With that Tobias sent out his second pokemon.

I smiled and sent out my second pokemon, "Well then, Lugia you are up."

Tobias knew that Lugia had a type advantage but he didn't back down and ordered Entei to use Stone Edge, Lugia countered the Stone Edge by hitting the sharp stones with a powerful Steel Wings as a result Entei was bombarded with small stones. Entei stood through the rain of small stones and then dashed at Lugia to hit him with Iron Head, Lugia was pushed back but before he could reply Entei hit him with a Shadow Ball. Lugia was quick to recover and he hit back Entei with a Water Pulse, the Water Pulse came as surprise at Entei and it was unable to dodge but then Lugia followed it up with a Hydro Pump that hit Entei right on its face.

Entei got back up and shook itself up to get rid of the water from Hydro Pump and attacked Lugia with another Shadow Ball but this time Lugia was prepared, Lugia dodged the ghost type attack and hit back Entei with Aerial Attack which was a combination of Aerial Ace and Sky Attack. Lugia flew up and then came down with another Aerial Attack but this time Entei was prepared, Entei let Lugia hit it with Aerial Attack and then bit down on Lugia's neck with Bite. Entei's hold on Lugia was very strong and the dark type attack was seriously damaging Lugia, Lugia tried very hard to shake off Entei but it was of no use.

"Entei, use Eruption." Tobias shouted, Entei loosened its hold on Lugia's neck and then hit him with Eruption. Eruption was a fire type attack and it shouldn't have affected Lugia much but this Eruption belong to the legendry fire type Entei and it hurt like hell to Lugia, Lugia glared at Entei and then hit it back with two Hydro Pump back to back in quick succession.

"Lugia it's time for the finisher, end this with Aeroblast." I shouted loudly, Entei was too weak and tired to get away from Lugia's signature attack. The Aeroblast hit Entei dead on and it fell down to the ground knocked out cold and unconscious, meanwhile Zorua who was watching the battle beside me cheered happily.

"Entei is unable to battle, Tobias send out your next pokemon." Referee announced as Tobias recalled his unconscious Entei.

Tobias then sent out his third pokemon, "Go Volcanion."

Volcanion started by attacking Lugia with Stone Edge, Lugia was taken by surprise as the Stone Edge him hurting him badly. Volcanion didn't gave Lugia any time to recover and hit Lugia again with a Hyper Beam, Lugia wasn't one to back down easily as he quickly replied by hitting Lugia with a crackling Thunder. Volcanion was badly shocked by Lugia's Thunder attack but before it could counter back Lugia hit Volcanion with Ancient Power, Volcanion was thrown back after getting hit by the rock type attack but it got back up and hit Lugia with Smackdown. A large boulder formed above Lugia and hit Lugia making him come smashing onto the ground, Volcanion didn't let Lugia counter and hit him with its signature move Steam Eruption. The attack hit Lugia and he was knocked out unconscious.

"Lugia is unable to battle, Harry send out your third pokemon." Referee announced as I recalled Lugia back to his pokeball.

"Rayquaza, up you go." With that I sent out my third pokemon.

Volcanion again started with Stone Edge but this time Rayquaza flew up in the air effectively dodging the Stone Edge and then hit back Volcanion with a crackling Thunder. Volcanion cried out in pain as the powerful electric type attack hit it, Volcanion steadied itself and attacked back Rayquaza with Hyper Beam. In reply to Volcanion Rayquaza countered the Hyper Beam with a Hyper Beam of his own, the two powerful Hyper Beams collided with a big bang and the attacks cancelled out each other. Rayquaza used the smoke from the collision of Hyper Beam to his advantage and hit Volcanion with a combination of Aerial Ace and Dragon Tail.

Volcanion was badly hurt but it was one tough cookie and wasn't planning to go down quietly, Volcanion hit Rayquaza with a surprise Hyper Beam that Rayquaza was unable to dodge. Rayquaza got back up and flew up into the sky, Rayquaza then descended down toward Volcanion and hit it with his signature move, Dragon Ascent. Rayquaza collided with Volcanion with an explosion, as the smoke cleared Volcanion was found knocked out unconscious.

"Volcanion is unable to battle, as Tobias has lost three of his pokemon in the battle we'll be taking a short fifteen-minute break." Referee announced as Rayquaza roared on his victory while my Zorua cheered.

I smiled and recalled Rayquaza back to his pokeball, "Come Zorua, we'll be taking a short break." With that I left for my waiting room and Zorua followed me closely, Tobias too recalled his Volcanion and left the arena.

After the break we were back on the battlefield as referee ordered to resume the battle, "Trainers send out your pokemon and resume the battle."

"Latios let's go." Tobias sent out his fourth pokemon.

I nodded, "Well then Latias you are up."

Latias came out ready to battle but Latias quickly stooped in her tracks staring at Tobias's Latios in shock, meanwhile Tobias's Latios was gaping like a fish while staring at my Latias.

For those who want a female companion for Harry I am sorry but it won't be possible as Harry uses his magic frequently during travel to train his pokemon and other things and if someone joins him then he won't be able to do that.
