Hello everyone and welcome to another chapter of Awakening. We are nearing the end of the story. Now to check out the reviews:
boomingmaster: I will read it when I get the chance.
hont91: Yep, reading theories and creepypastas helped me a lot on this story, along with research.
smashgunner: Thanks...
davycrockett100: Thanks
ASD Pokemon Fan: Don't need her at this point. Plus Team Rocket are still out there. So keeping her in the dark at this point helps out. Plus in the sequel she will make another appearance.
CharmedMilliE: Yeah, just tying up some loose ends.
Element-OverLord: Thanks
Now then, let's get going with the second defense line.
Disclaimer: Don't own Pokemon.
Chapter 49: Second Defense Line
Ash smiled and nodded "Thank you for this battle."
Jakob returned his Pokemon and nodded "I forgot the last time I actually lost….maybe it has been more than a year." He pondered and shrugged it off. He then pressed a button and the door to the second floor opened.
The young trainer was ready. Already healed his Pokemon, he was ready to face the second opponent.
He ran upstairs to face his second opponent. The moment the second floor closed, Jakob sighed "He is a skilled trainer. Dangerous, but I think he might make it."

Second floor
Ash began to jog a bit, hoping to reach to his second opponent. He then noticed a woman sitting on a throne. Blue hair, wearing a long robe, she tilted her head.
"My name is Janice Proudmore. I am the second of the defense line. All you have to do is beat me and you move on to Regionals Champion and the last of the Defense line."
She snapped her finger and out came two platforms. Ash places his Pokedex on the slot as she got off the throne and places her Pokedex.
"This will be a two against two battle. Last Pokemon standing wins." she simply said and the young trainer nodded.
"Second Defense online. Ash Ketchum vs. Janice Proudmore. Battle sequence begin." a computerized woman's voice said.
Ash threw his first Pokemon out "Go Fearow!"
The large beak Pokemon was ready to fight.
"Initiate battle Flareon." Out of the Pokeball of Ash's opponent was a yellow/red Pokemon. One of the eevolutions was ready to face the bird Pokemon.
"Battle Begin."
Ash first commanded the move "Go for an Aerial Ace!"
He swooped down and was ready to strike his opponent.
"Use Flamethrower to keep the bird at bay!"
It released a wave of flame right at the bird Pokemon. Fearow easily dodged it and hits the fire Pokemon on the side. It yipped in pain but growled at its opponent.
"Fearow, go for Drill Peck!"
"Use Quick Attack to dodge and hit him!"
His beak began to glow and flew right at his opponent. However, Flareon disappeared and reappeared on the side with a harsh tackle. He shook off and wanted to take down his opponent.
"Flareon, use Fire Blast!"
It backed its head back and blasted right at the large bird Pokemon.
"Fearow, use Mirror Move!"
His wings glowed and blocked the move, sending it back and it did some damage to the opponent.
"Move in Fearow for a Drill Peck!"
He flew fast and managed to hit his opponent hard, but it was still standing.
"Use Shadow Ball!"
It threw its head back and shot a dark ball, hitting its target on the chest. Yet the bird Pokemon was still standing strong.
"Flareon, go for a Quick Attack!"
It disappeared and was going to attack its opponent.
"Use Fly!"
He flew up, avoiding the attack in time.
"Smokescreen!"
It used a large dark cloud all over the battlefield. Ash raised his eyebrow and knew that this move would block Fearow. However, he had a plan already.
"Swoop down, but don't hit anything!"
The second defender raised his eyebrow as the bird Pokemon swooped down and the smokescreen cleared up a bit.
"Again!"
It flew on the low level and cleared a bit more.
"Use Flamethrower!"
It released a fire wave of an attack, Ash smirked.
"Drill Peck!"
He saw his quarry and went for a harsh peck attack and it was enough to knock the opponent out of the fight.
"Flareon is unable to battle. Please bring out your next Pokemon."
She raised her eyebrow and then returned her Pokemon. It was a quick fight so far, but it wasn't going to end this way. She then took out another Pokeball out. She then threw it.
"Initiate Battle Ditto!"
A pink blob Pokemon stared at its opponent. Ash returned Fearow, knowing this fight would take longer, unless a fresh Pokemon is needed. He then took out another Pokemon out.
"Go Persian!"
The large cat Pokemon was ready to fight.
"Transform."
The pink blob turned into a duplicate of Persian was in front of the original one.
"Persian, go for a Slash Attack!"
She ran up to her with her claws glowing and went to slash her opponent.
"Ditto, dodge it and go for Pay Day!"
Ditto avoided the attack quickly due to the reflexes the Pokemon was able to copy, then released a coin charm out of the head and swiped it right at its opponent. The cat Pokemon was hit a bit hard but shook it off.
"Go for a Screech attack!"
She gave a harsh screech, causing the copy Pokemon's defenses to go down. It tried to stay focused but felt shaken from the attack.
"Ditto, go for a Bite Attack!"
It's teeth began to glow and went to bite against its opponent.
"Persian, go for an Iron Tail!"
She swooped over and her tail became metallic. The bite move missed as it was smacked hard across the face. It shook its head and wanted to keep fighting.
"Ditto, use Pay Day!"
It threw another coin right at its opponent.
"Persian, dodge it and go for a Slash Attack!"
She immediately dodged it and went for a harsh slash attack. Ditto was losing its transformation as Ash smirked.
"Go for Pay Day!"
She threw a coin and the aim was true, as Ditto transformed back to normal. In the process, this knocked out the transforming Pokemon.
"Ditto is taken out. The winner of this fight is Ash Ketchum. Battle sequence ended."
She smiled softly and returned the Pokemon. She went over and shook his hand.
"Impressive."
"Thank you."
Then she pressed a button on her control, which opened another level.
"Now the last task is to take out the Regionals Champion. Do your best and don't lose."
He nodded and decided to recover his Pokemon first. Then he went up the stairs and was on the third floor. He kept walking on for a bit and pondered who the champion is.
He then noticed a battlefield. He looked around for the Regional Champion.
"Impressive you made it this far, Ash Ketchum."
He turned around and his eyes widen who the champion was.
"Gary?"
To be continued….
