Okay, so here we go with the 53 chapter and all right apologies again for taking so long on this. I got so caught up with my classes and also dealing with financial aid. So, had to take care of all of that. Still, I hope you are all ready for the finals. We are now near the end…well not yet.
We are close though. Closer than the original story before it got taken down by fanfiction. Anyways, thanks to everyone for the support and reviews. I appreciate it guys. I am so glad many of you continue to support the story and I enjoy reading your comments about the chapters.
Now, we will see Ryan versus Amanda. How will this go? Will their fight go well without any interruptions? Or will a big fight break out?
Check out the chapter to find out and thanks guys for the reviews for the last chapter. Also, again bringing this up I decided to end point of views in this story. Mostly because I struggled with the POVs for this story and how they cause me to get stuck on the chapters. I believe this might be the only story I have with a POV.
So, if it looks weird I am not adding anymore POV then you know why. Now, for the disclaimer. I don't own anything from Pokémon just my OCs and thanks to those who send their OCs too. Also for those that don't know: theItalicor at times a flashback, will represent the Pokémon talking and Bold is for thoughts.
Now let's begin with the chapter, enjoy.
Finals
Sinnoh
"All right ladies and gentlemen, we are fifteen minutes away from the finals of the Sinnoh League!" the announcer announced as the crowd cheered loudly. "So, please take your seat as we prepare to see the final round between Ryan and Amanda!"
The champion, Cynthia is seen looking on from her balcony as the finals are about to begin. So far, things have been calmed and no one has gotten hurt. She is glad nothing has happened, but a part of her couldn't help but feel a little concerned. With Apollo still around in the arena and Alder out to stop Team Galactic that something is going to happen.
Meanwhile, Dawn is with Iris, Grace, Meloetta, and her mother. Annabeth took off earlier when Officer Jenny went to speak to her. She asked Dawn to tell Ryan there is an emergency back home and needed to leave. To tell him she is sorry and wishes him luck.
Dawn asked her mother what happened, but Johanna reassured it was all right. She told her daughter that it was a hospital emergency, but that everything is fine. However, she couldn't help but worry it was something bd. Enough to make her miss her son in the finals of the tournament.
Still, there is nothing much she can do but wait. She looks over to see Grace and Meloetta standing in front of the window. Waiting for the fight to begin. All while Iris got her snacks ready.
"Think you got enough?" Dawn joked when she saw how much snacks her friend got for them.
Iris though smiled nervously. "I guess I did go a little overboard, but come on. What do you expect? We're about to see the finals between Ryan and Amanda. Our two friends going at it to see who will fight the champion."
"Iris is right," said Johanna agreeing with the young girl. "It's not often you get to see any region tournament end with two good friends going at it. This should be an interesting battle with two trainers that have different battle styles."
"Jake's battle style is a lot different than Derek's in some ways. I wonder if he will show some new Pokémon like Derek did," said Dawn wondering if her friend has a Legendary Pokémon too.
"Thanks to the battles he has had, Amanda is going to be prepared for anything," said Iris as she sat down next to her friend. "I just hope Ryan will be ready too."
Dawn nods in agreement. "I guess all we can do is just wait and see how things go then."
Grace turns towards the kids and smiled. Do you think mommy will compete too?
Dawn and Iris turns to the Riolu then smile at her. Both nod their heads in response figuring Ryan would want Rachel to compete too.
"We don't doubt your mom will want to compete too," said Iris who is curious to see how Rachel does against Amanda. "Though I wonder if Amanda has a Pokémon strong enough to fight her."
"Annabeth told me Ryan raised Rachel since they first met in the Hoenn Region. If he does end up using her then your friend will need a very strong Pokemon to beat her," said Johanna recalling the talks her and her friend had about Ryan's travels.
His battles that he has had around the Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto region. All of them with Rachel. So, she has more experience and will be tough for Amanda to defeat. However, if she has a secret Pokémon that she has been saving like Derek then she will most likely save it for this fight against Ryan.
They soon see the announcer preparing for the finals as everyone gets to their seats. "It looks like the finals are about to begin," said Johanna.
Dawn nods in agreement with her mom as she looks over. "Let's see who goes on to fight Miss Cynthia then."
Airport
Annabeth is seen driving to the airport with Alder as they prepare for their trip to Mt. Coronet. She received word about Team Galactic sighted in the area and appear to be trying to find their way up to Spear Pillar. She heard stories about this place and how is the birth place of the ancient Pokémon that were created by Arceus, the creator of their world.
She wouldn't mind going out to stop Team Galactic if it wasn't for the fact that her son is battling in the finals of the Sinnoh League. She didn't want to leave and had hoped someone else would take her place. But of course headquarters needed her because she is the best, she encountered this group before, and can help lead the team to help stop them.
She knew she has a job to do, but wanted to see her son battle in the finals without work getting in the way.
Alder turns to Annabeth and noticed the look on her face. He knew she isn't happy with all of this and wanted to see her son in action. He had thought about having her stay. But he needed some help and help him with the trainers that agreed to go with him to stop Team Galactic.
"I do appreciate your assistance in this Annabeth. I hope you understand that and I promise we will try ending this as quickly as possible so you can return to your son. I even convinced the officials to postpone the fight between the champion and whoever fights her tomorrow. That way if your son wins then you will be able to see him battle Cynthia.
Annabeth sighed as she looks up. "I appreciate that, but that's not why I am feeling this way. I just wanted to try spending time with my son and see him battle without the fate of the world being on the line. I thought I was done with all of this when I retired so I could live a normal simple life. No conflict, no fighting, and no crazed maniac trying to take over the world."
Alder understood how she feels and what she wants. He read her file and how she lost her husband long ago leaving her alone to raise her son. How all she wanted was to live a life as a mother. Now, with everything that is going on it must feel for her that she can never have that.
"I know this isn't easy and you would like nothing more than just to let someone else handle these types of problems. However, I am glad you came back to help though. I know you don't like it, but I'm sure your son is proud to know how much good his mother is doing."
Annabeth knows Alder means well, but cleared her throat before replying. "Well um first of all he doesn't know I used to be an agent that battled dangerous criminals. So I would appreciate it if you didn't tell him that. Secondly…thanks for the talk, but just know that once this is done I am out for good."
Alder nods in response. "Fair enough. Now, unfortunately we won't be able to fly to the top of the mountain. However, we have the map that will help us get through the maze in the mountain so we can get to the top and stop Team Galactic."
Annabeth took the map and began analyzing it. She has heard about how the mountain is like a maze that prevents trainers from making it to the top. Even gets them lost inside and sometimes don't make it out alive. Hence the reason why she was always told as a kid to avoid the mountain no matter what.
"Other than the trainers that are joining us. Do we have some more backup?" she asked.
Alder nods in response. "I managed to contact some gym leaders to see if they can help us. They'll be meeting us there once we arrive."
At least they have backup so that's good. They'll need it for who they are up against. She remembers battling against Team Galactic and how tough they are. She also saw how far they will go to get their way. Even if it means hurting innocent Pokémon.
"Okay, once we confront them we have to take out their leaders. Without them the rest will fall," said Annabeth who is looking forward to her rematch with the Mars lady. "Once they are gone we will go for the boss."
Alder nods in agreement. "I will deal with this boss, while the rest of you handle the rest," he said as he sees they made it to the airport. "Let's get going then and save Sinnoh."
Sinnoh Arena
Outside of the arena, Derek is seen heading to go meet up with some trainers who volunteer to help him. Earlier, Cynthia asked him to assist him with something involving Mt. Coronet. However, he didn't want to leave until he was sure Apollo would not try something. She understood and asked other trainers to assist her.
She explained it has something to do with an evil organization called Team Galactic. Derek recalled confronting the group months ago. He asked what they are up to, but Cynthia wasn't sure herself but felt it has something to do with a pillar at the top of the mountain. Derek volunteered to help her once they take care of Apollo.
He was able to get one of his Ghost-Pokemon to go inside Apollo's room to see if he was still in there. His plan was to stay there until he tried breaking out. If the officers couldn't stop him then he will. Bad news though is he wasn't in his room.
He informed the guards about this and they began scrambling to the tournament. Beefing up security, but he knew it wouldn't matter.
If he's here then he will try interrupting the fight. If he does I will be here waiting for him. He thought hoping to keep the tournament from getting ruined. He looks over to see Mia and her Pokémon, Gallade walking towards him. "Glad to see you two made it. So, you two up for what I am proposing?"
Mia nods in response. "We don't like the idea of attacking someone, but from what you told us about this guy and what we have seen we'll make an exception. So, what's the plan?"
"Well, I have no doubt Apollo will try making his move to attack the tournament during the finals. My plan is to ambush him before he has a chance to make his move," said Derek as he explains his plan.
"Why here though?" Mia asked wondering why this part of the arena they will make their move.
"Because this is the only place where the guards have not been placed yet," Derek explained as he purposely asked Officer Jenny to let this part of the arena appear unguarded. "I know he'll try to make his way here without being spotted."
Derek could hear the crowd cheering loudly and knew the finals are about to begin. "Let's just try to end things quickly here before things get out of hand."
Mia turns to Derek and could see the look of concerned in his eyes. She was told that Apollo possesses a powerful Pokémon that he plans to unleash on the people. If he is telling the truth then they have to try stopping him. She turns to Gale who begins speaking to her through telepathy.
I know the risk, Mia and I am ready for whatever comes our way. He said as he read her mind. As long as I am standing I will never let anyone or you get hurt.
Mia smiles at Gale and nods in response. Thank you, Gale.
Derek noticed Mia and Gale staring at each other. He recognized this and knew they are speaking to each other through telepathy. Ryan and Rachel would do the same whenever they are together. All while he waits till they finish talking.
"If you two are done can we get things ready?"
"For what exactly?" they turn around to see the girl they encountered before, Nova standing before them. "Are you three waiting for someone?"
Derek didn't seem concerned when he saw her since he didn't know a lot about. "We actually are. So, do you mind leaving?"
Nova though shook her head. "I'm afraid not. I know what you are up to and I'm afraid it won't work. Apollo is already aware of your little plan."
"H-he what?" Derek sked surprised that Apollo knows what they are up to. "Are you two working together? If you are then you need to tell us where is he."
Nova though shook her head in response. "Like I said that's not going to happen. You will not interfere with our plan and I will make sure you are all taken out."
Derek sighed in annoyance as this is the last thing he wanted to deal with. Mia though steps forward and turns to her friend.
"It's okay. We'll handle this. Go find Miss Cynthia and warn her."
Derek nods in response as he goes to leave. Nova however, tosses out her Pokéball to let her Infernape out. The Pokémon charges at Derek, but is blocked by Gale.
Nova turns to Mia who has a serious look on her face. "Your opponent is not him. It's me. So, if you want him you need to get through me first."
Nova scoffed at what the woman said. "Whatever. I will take you out and then your stupid friends."
"We'll see about that," said Mia as Gale pushes the Infernape back. "I saw your battle with Tamina. So I know how you battle and how you treat your Pokémon. That's why I know you won't beat me or my Gallade."
"My Pokémon learned from their mistakes, especially if they know what is good for them," said Nova in a threatening tone causing her Infernape to look nervous. "I also know how close you are to your little pet. So that's why I know I'm going to enjoy making your Pokémon suffer so you will suffer too."
Arena Floor
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the finals of the Sinnoh League!" the announcer announced as the crowd cheered loudly. "Now, as explained earlier this next fight will be a three-on-three battle. No substitutes and no time limit. The first team to defeat all three members of the opposing team wins and goes on to face the champion of Sinnoh, Cynthia!"
The crowd cheered loudly as they look up at the balcony where the champion is at. Cynthia waves at the crowd nervously. Reason for this is she is informed about what happened with Apollo. She tried to contact Alder to let him know about this, but it was too late.
He had already left with a few willing trainers to Mt. Coronet. To stop Team Galactic before they can put into motion whatever it is they are planning. Luckily Cynthia has a plan to deal with Apollo. Once the battle begins of course.
"All right, introducing our two finalist…Amanda and Ryan!" the announcer introduces the two competitors as they came out to a loud standing ovation from the crowd.
Ryan came out with Rachel as they wave to the crowd. Amanda came out alone though as she waves at the crowd a little. The two competitors approach the middle of the arena floor as the referee goes over the rules again with them. To let them know how a three-on-three works and how once more there will be no switching out once the fight begins.
Both trainers understood and were asked to shake hands. Ryan smiled as he extended his hand to Amanda.
"Good luck and let's have a fun battle."
Amanda looks down at his hand and shook it. "Just as long as you don't give up like Derek did."
Ryan gave a small nervous chuckle. "Oh trust me. I don't intend to give up so easily."
Amanda was pleased to hear that as she tightened her grip on Ryan's hand. "Good, because if you do I will kick your butt all the way back to Hoenn."
Ryan felt her tightening her grip. For a young kid she sure has a strong grip that could rival a Arbok. She frees his hand and walks to her side of the arena. All while Ryan does the same as a small tear fell down his right eye.
"I can't feel my hand," he whispered to Rachel who grabs his hand cared for it.
Don't worry. Rachel said through telepathy. I will kick her butt if she tries kicking yours.
Ryan appreciated that and shook her head. "Let's just try beating her first before you try actually beating her okay?"
Rachel sighed as she nods. All right. I will wait and then make her pay for hurting you.
The two trainers soon stood on their opposite side of the field as the referee steps forward to start the battle. He is given the signal and starts.
"Let the finals of the Sinnoh League, begin!"
Ryan took out two of his Pokéballs as he motions for Rachel to move forward. Rachel goes out to the field being one of the three Pokémon. Ryan threw out the other two revealing his two Pokémon. The first is Sylveon as she lets out a small roar.
The third though is one the crowd was shocked to see. It was an Entei. Ryan has one of the three legendary bests. The crowd were shocked to see another legendary Pokémon and how they hope to see more in this tournament.
Amanda simply looks on not surprised by this. She figured after her battle with Derek that if Ryan has a Lugia then she didn't doubt that Ryan has a legendary Pokémon himself. That is why she came prepared. She had hoped to wait till the finals to use this Pokémon, but she can't take any chances with her opponent.
She took out two of her Pokéballs as she prepares to throw them out. "Go! Electivire and Garchomp!" she threw out the balls as they let out her two Pokémon.
The third ball though she took it out and held it in her hand. She lets out a small sigh before looking back at Ryan. "Prepare yourself, Ryan. I never fought with this friend before, but for this battle we will make an exception. Go! Reiko!"
She lets out the Pokéball and lets out her third Pokémon. To the surprise of the audience they all look on confused. They have never seen this Pokémon before. It looks like one, but they couldn't recognize it.
Not even their Pokédex could identify this mysterious Pokémon. So many were left shocked and confused.
Ryan and Rachel though had a look of shock in their expression. They recognized the Pokémon Amanda is using. One they met long ago, but this one looks different than the one they met. But there was no doubt about it on what this Pokémon is.
Ryan is that? Rachel asked as she looks on still shocked.
Ryan nods in response recognizing this Pokémon. "Yeah. It is," he said as he stares at the familiar Pokémon.
It appears humanoid with some feline features. It's skin is gray with an along purple tail. On top of its head re two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. With a tube extending from the back of its head to its back, three digits on each hand, and foot have spherical tips.
"I know that Pokémon. It's…Mewtwo."
Meanwhile
Apollo looked on through the monitor as the finals have begun. Ryan and Amanda have thrown out their best Pokémon against one another. How cute. They are going to give it their all unaware what is going to happen.
That this tournament is about to come to an end. But why end it now? Why not let them have their little fun. Let them exhaust each other.
So, when he makes his move then he will strike when they are at their most weakest. "So, have your little fun you two…" he said as a dark shadow began emerging from behind him. "Because in the end you will all die."
Apollo began laughing manically as the monitor began to crack as the dark shadow began spreading around the room until finally the monitor explodes.
There we go with the ending and yeah sorry guys for taking so long with this. Again, got a lot of shit going on with my university and I hate it. Still, hope you all liked this. I also hope you like the little surprise at the end.
Three-on-three battle is how we will determine this fight. Ryan has an Entei and Amanda has a Mewtwo. Is this the same Mewtwo from the first movie or the female voice version? I gave a hint on who it is by just the name of it.
If you figured it out then you get the first cookie of 2018, even with milk. How will things go now with a Mewtwo by Amanda's side? Will it end badly for our hero or will Ryan find a way to win? Or will Apollo mess it up because he is a dick?
