Chapter 30: The Wastelands and Round Three

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon and I didn't make Reborn


After the boat ride from Apophyll Beach back to the dock at Coral Ward.

Ash felt good to be off the beach, as the pair walked through Coral Ward and heading towards South Obsidia Ward.

When they got their they saw Cain leaning on a wall next to the door with a smirk.

"Hey lovebirds~" Cain greeted in singsong with a wave.

"Hey Cain." Ash greeted back as they walked closer to him with a small blush on Ash's and Victoria's cheeks.

Ash turned to the gate, "So this is how we can get to your sister?" Ash asked.

Cain smiled sadly as he turned to the gate, "Yeah, behind this gate is the way to my old house." Cain answered.

Cain turned to the pair, reached into his right pocket, pulled out a purple key and showed the pair, "And this little baby, will allow you to open it." Cain continued.

Ash and Victoria nod in response, "So can you please open it?" Victoria requested.

Cain glanced up thinking about his options. After a bit he glanced back at the pair of raven hair trainers, "Sure." Cain answered making the pair smile.

"Thank you, Cain." Ash and Victoria thanked in unison.

"But-" Cain started in a serious tone.

Ash and Victoria heard the amount of seriousness in Cain's tone, "-I will warn you that this place is very dangerous. When you go there and if anything happens to you out there. Reborn City won't do anything about it." Cain explained.

Ash raised an eyebrow, "Why?" Ash asked.

"Because the Byxbysion Wasteland is outside of the Reborn City's area." Victoria answered.

Cain nodded, "Exactly right Vicky." Cain replied.

Ash nodded understanding why that is, "Cain will you come with us?" Ash asked.

Cain frowned a bit before turning his head at the gate, "I'm sorry, but I can't." Cain answered.

Ash figured as much while Victoria was saddened by his answer, "I'm sorry I asked." Ash apologized.

Cain shook his head, "Don't worry about it. I just don't care enough for seeing my family again, after they kicked me out." Cain answered.

Ash and Victoria frowned when they heard him say that. Cain just shrugged his shoulders, "But whatever." Cain continued as he walked up the door, pushed the key in the hole, turned it making a 'clung' sound on the other side and unlocking it.

Cain pulled the key out of the hole and put the key back in his pocket.

He turned to the pair, "Well, after you beat my sister. Meet me outside the Railnet. Later lovers." Cain said as he walked away.

Ash and Victoria blushed again when Cain called them lovers. After a moment of silence Victoria took a deep breath before turning to Ash, "Ash?" Victoria called out making Ash turn to her.

"I'm gonna wait by the railnet as well." Victoria told Ash.

Ash raised an eyebrow, "Why, I thought you wanted to continue your league quest as well." Ash replied confused.

Victoria smiled, "I really don't care about me league challenge right now. We need to save those children and I'm willing to wait until Team Meteor is defeated before I will continue my League Challenge." Victoria explained.

Ash nod in response, "Just be careful." Ash replied concerned for his girlfriend.

Victoria smiled by her boyfriend's worry, "That's what I should be telling you." Victoria replied as she leaned forwards and gently kissed his lips with Ash returning the kiss.

Soon the pair broke apart, "I'll see you later." Victoria replied before she walked away with her and Ash's Pikachu waving goodbye.

Ash turned the door, walked inside, down a hallway, an officer warned him about the dangers, but Ash said that 'He'll be okay.'

The officer told Ash, that the Gym is on the other side of the Wastelands if he travels west he'll be there. Ash nodded at the information before walking out.

When Ash and Pikachu got outside, their eyes wide open by what they're seeing.

The whole area is pretty much ruined, buildings are destroyed, trash is everywhere, purple and pink sludge that looks soft that is everywhere, trees are halfway buried in them as well as the buildings, the trees have dark pink leaves instead of green and a variety of Poison Pokemon are wondering around the area.

Everyone is surprised to say the least, "Ok . . . I wasn't expecting this" Ash said in shock.

"Pika." Pikachu replied nodding his head.

"Can people actually live here?" Ash questioned more to himself then Pikachu.

"Pika." Pikachu added on with an unsure expression on his face.

Ash made his way through the Wasteland.

They were surprised by the fact the sludge on the ground is quite hard.

As Ash walked onwards, they saw two headstones. Ash was surprised by the fact they belonged to Elena and Corey.

Ash frowned when he saw them. He felt Pikachu tapping his cheek making Ash turn to him.

"Pika, pi." Pikachu said in a worry tone.

Ash smiled sadly, "I'm fine buddy." Ash replied before he turned away and continued their journey towards the Gym.

They went through old buildings, slid down metal ramps, and battled against wild Pokemon.

After a while, they came across a house where it looks the same like the others expect for the fact that it's perfectly intact.

Ash stared at the house, "I guess this is the place." Ash assumed.

"Pika." Pikachu replied while nodding his head.

Ash opened the door, walked inside and saw a perfectly clean house. It has a Kitchen, with the living room in one space, a PC machine as well as a healing Machine next to it and both are in the far corner of the room.

"Who's there?!" A woman's voice called out making them turn and saw an open-door hole.

Soon the woman walked out, she is around her late 30's, she has the same colour hair like Cain, expect her hair flows down to her middle back that is tied slightly above the bottom, matching colour eyes, she is wearing a black one-piece dress, black heels and a white apron.

She turned and saw Ash, "Who are you?" The woman asked.

"I'm Ash and this is my partner Pikachu." Ash introduced himself and Pikachu.

"My name is Lana." The woman identified as Lana.

Ash's eyes widen when he heard that name, because it reminds him of a certain Alolan, short blue hair girl.

"Can I help you?" Lana asked snapping Ash out of his thoughts and back to reality.

"Yeah. Is this the Gym?" Ash asked.

The Lana smiled, "Ah, are you a challenger?" Lana asked making Ash nod in response.

"Great, hang on." Lana said as she walked towards a bright purple door with a Poke Ball on the door with the white on the top and black on the bottom.

"AYA! YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHALLENGER!" Lana shouted making Ash, and Pikachu cover their ears.

"OK! TELL THEM TO WAIT! I'M A LITTLE BUSY!" Another woman shouted on the other side of the door.

Lana turned Ash, "Why don't you go inside she shouldn't too much longer." Lana suggested making Ash nod as Lana went to the kitchen and started to wash the dishes.

Ash walked towards the door, Ash opened, and walked inside.

Ash closed the door, turned and saw a woman with purple hair that runs down to her middle back. She is returning a Dragalge.

Ash saw the ground of the battlefield is the same as the sludge outside, the field was grass around the area, with rocks as well and what looks like some vines that are smilair to the ones PULSE Tangrowth created.

"Fine . . . you win." She admitted annoyed.

"Yeah I know!" A familiar arrogant voice called out making Ash turn to the source and narrowed his eyes because they saw Fern walking towards the woman.

The woman handed Fern a badge. Fern turned and saw Ash, "Well if it isn't Ash late to the party as usual." Fern said in a smug tone.

Ash narrowed his eyes even more, annoyed by the fact the Fern hasn't changed since last time they met.

The woman with purple hair turned and saw the Kanto born trainer.

Ash got a good look at her. She looked around 22 years old, her purple hair is straight on the left side and at the front right her hair is swirled down past her shoulder and her eyes are purple as well.

She is wearing a black shirt, with a white collar as well as white lining at the end of her sleeves and a purple lining at the bottom of her shirt. A white miniskirt with purple lining at the bottom, black stockings that go to her thigh's all the way down to the feet and with black joggers with white at the bottom.

"I assume you're here for a battle?" She asked.

"Yeah I am." Ash answered.

The woman sighed in annoyance but nodded in response, "Don't worry. She's fresh off the plate, a total noob." Fern explained in mockery.

The woman turned to Fern mad as well as annoyed, "You say that. But don't forget I defeated you the first time you came here!" She shouted.

Fern's right eye twitched, "Please. You just surprised me with your Double Battle format. I'm assuming you battle like that because you hide your lack of skills." Fern assumed.

Ash narrowed his eyes when he said that, "I only do it this way because my brother-"

"AYA YOU HAVE ANOTHER VISITOR!" Lana shouted from the other room.

The purple hair woman sighed, which made Ash assume that she's Aya, "ANOTHER ONE?!" Aya asked.

"YEAH!" Lana replied.

Fern smirked, "You can't blame people for wanting a free badge." Fern said in a smug and mockery tone.

Aya grew a tic mark, "Would you just shut up! Leave me alone!" Aya shouted.

Fern smirked, while Ash is getting mad. Ash was about to say something until, "I'm gonna guess that this is a bad time." A new voice called out making everyone turn saw a man.

The man looks around Aya's age, he has red hair with some orange patches, with it in sections and runs down to his shoulders. He is wearing a black shirt with an orange stripe at the centre going down, as well as a grey stripe on the right side going in the same direction as the other one, he is wearing grey trousers and with black sneakers.

Ash just stared at him while Aya raised an eyebrow, while Fern grew an annoyed look, "Oh . . . it's you." Fern said annoyed.

The man smirked when he saw Fern, "Yeah, it's me. What are you doing here mate?" He asked.

Fern smirked, "Sweeping scrubs and I'm not your mate. What about you?" Fern asked making Aya grew another tic mark.

The man frowned not surprised by his answer, "You're right we aren't mates and I heard there's a new Gym Leader. So, I thought I'd welcome her to the club." Hardy answered.

He turned to Aya, "You're Aya right?" He asked.

Aya nodded, "Um, y-yeah." She answered a bit on edge by the man in front of her.

The man smiled, "Sweet. The name's Hardy. Rock Gym Leader at your service." The man identified as Hardy introduced himself.

Ash was surprised by the fact he met another Gym Leader.

"Yanno, so the plan was to give you a nice warm welcome into the Gym Leader business." Hardy told the group until he turned to Fern.

"But it seems that you got a sour one, huh mate?" Hardy asked.

Fern narrowed his eyes, "Keep your comments to yourself." Fern replied as the two narrowed their eyes at each other making the mood tense.

"You two know each other?" Ash asked making Hardy and Fern turn to them.

"Sorry mate didn't see you. Are you?" He asked.

"I'm Ash." Ash introduced himself.

"Pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu greeted.

"Nice to meet ya. Names Hardy. And as for your question, yeah, we know each other. I had the misfortunate of being stuck in his class at Trainer School." Hardy explained as he glanced and glared at Fern.

Fern smirked, "In other words. He's jealous that I was top dog and he was just a loser." Fern said in a smug tone.

"Yeah keep yourself that mate." Hardy said in a sarcastic tone.

"Not only that his and my sister were BFF's in high school and they would drag us with them every time they went to meet up." Fern added on with Hardy nodding in agreement.

"Did you say that you are the 'top dog' before or after I defeated you in front of the whole school?" Ash asked with a smirk.

Fern gritted his teeth in anger and while Hardy was surprised, "You defeated Fern in front of the whole school?" Hardy asked with a smirk growing.

Ash nodded, "Yes I did." Ash answered.

"HAHAHAHAHA, that's fantastic mate!" Hardy laughed while Fern's eyes started to twitch.

"That was then, and this is now!" Fern shouted.

Hardy stopped laughing, "Really, so you're saying you can defeat him right here and right now mate?" Hardy asked with a smirk.

"Of course, I can!" Fern replied.

"Well why don't you boys do that while I heal my Pokemon." Aya told as she walked out of the room.

Ash and Fern glared at each other and took their places on the field while Hardy walked up to the stands.

"I've been waiting for this day. The day I beat your sorry ass." Fern said with a smirk.

Ash and Pikachu smirked, "Well you're gonna keep waiting because it's not gonna happen today." Ash replied with a smirk as well.

"Pika!" Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Fern narrowed his eyes even more, "Five on five last one standing wins, no substitutions." Fern explained making Ash nod in response.

Hardy was watching, "Let's see what your made of mate." Hardy thought to himself while looking at Ash.

Aya walked in the room, up to the stands and sat next to Hardy, "You came to watch the battle?" Hardy asked.

"Obviously. Because I have nothing better to do since they're using my field." Aya replied.

Hardy smirked before turning back to the field.

"Rhyhorn wreck this loser!" Fern shouted as his Kanto Rock and Ground appeared with a roar.

Ash smirked as he took out a Poke Ball as well, "Dewott I choose you!" Ash shouted as Dewott appeared.

Both Pokemon narrowed their eyes at each other, "I'll start, Rhyhorn use Stone Edge!"

Rhyhorn raised his forelegs in the air before slamming them on the ground making boulder boulders shot up from the ground and headed towards Dewott.

"Hydro Pump!"

Dewott reared his head back before pushing it forwards and fired a blast of water.

The Hydro Pump overpowered the Stone Edge and slammed into Rhyhorn creating an explosion with white smoke coming from it.

When it died down it revealed Rhyhorn still standing but soaking wet.

"Ice Beam!"

Dewott reared his up upwards as he created a light blue sphere in front of face, he flung his head forward, fired light blue beams from the orb and headed towards Rhyhorn.

"Fire Fang!"

Rhyhorn opened his mouth as his jaws became on fire.

He slammed his mouth shut on the Ice Beam creating an explosion with white smoke.

When the smoke died down revealing Rhyhorn unharmed. Ash narrowed his eyes, "Dewott get in close!" Dewott started running towards Rhyhorn.

"Drill Run!"

Rhyhorn started running forward as his horn grew, glowed brown and started to spin fast.

Ash smirked, "Dewott jump over!" When Rhyhorn was about to slam into Dewott, he leaped over him, surprising Rhyhorn and Fern.

"Hydro Pump!"

Dewott reared his head back before snapping it forward firing a blast of water on Rhyhorn's back created in explosion with white smoke.

When Dewott landed, behind the cloud of smoke, which dissolved soon and revealed Rhyhorn lying on the ground unconscious, "One down." Ash said with a smirk making Pikachu and Dewott nod in response.

Fern returned Rhyhorn and took out his second Poke Ball, "Roserade wreck this loser!" Fern shouted as his Sinnoh Grass and Poison appeared.

"Budew evolved huh?" Ash thought to himself.

"Dewott Ice Beam!"

Dewott created a light blue sphere in front of face, he pushed his head forwards a bit and fired light blue beams that headed towards Roserade.

"Hidden Power!"

Roserade brought her bouquet hands next to each other, created an orange energy orb and flung it forwards.

The two attacks collided with each other, but the Hidden Power overpowered the Ice Beam, slammed into Dewott created an explosion with black smoke.

When the smoke died down it revealed Dewott barely damaged and glaring at Roserade.

"Dewott use Razor Shell!"

Dewott took both of his Scalchops from his legs, created blue energy swords and ran towards Roserade.

Fern smirked, "Sleep Powder!"

Roserade raised both of her bouquet hands in front of her and fired a cloud of green spores.

When Dewott ran into the cloud and ran though it he felt sleepy and he fell on the ground fast asleep as the Razor Shell stopped.

"Dewott, wake up!" Ash shouted but Dewott remained asleep.

"Extrasensory!"

Roserade raised her arms above her head, swung them in the formation of an 'X', as she fired a golden aura that flew towards and slammed into Dewott sending him flying.

"Dewott!" Ash shouted in concern as Dewott landed still fast asleep.

Fern smirked, "Giga Drain!"

Roserade's cape glowed green, extended as it, it headed towards Dewott, wrapped around his body, lifted him up and drained his energy.

Suddenly Dewott eyes shot wide open and shouted in pain. Fern smirked, "Throw him down!" Roserade smirked as she lifted him higher before flinging him downwards head first.

"Dewott Ice Beam!"

Dewott opened his mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards Roserade.

As the Ice beam slammed into Roserade created an explosion with white smoke as Dewott crashed into the ground making some purple dust stir around him.

Soon the dust and the smoke cleared it revealed Roserade still conscious, but her chest is covered in an ice layer while Dewott is unconscious.

"Thanks, Dewott get some rest." Ash returned Dewott and took out a new Poke Ball.

"Talonflame I choose you!" Ash shouted as Talonflame appeared in the air as he flapped his wings.

"Roserade use Extrasensory!"

Roserade swung her arms in the same motion as earlier as she fired a golden aura that flew towards Talonflame.

"Talonflame Air Slash!"

Talonflame's wings glowed white and flapped them repeatedly creating light blue energy sawblades.

The two attacks collided with each other created an explosion at the centre.

"Sleep Powder!"

Roserade raised her bouquet hands as they fired a green cloud of spores.

When the smoke died down Talonflame saw the green cloud, "Flap your wings!" Talonflame started flapping his wings repeatedly.

The cloud stopped and flew back and engulfed Roserade, "What!" Fern shouted when the cloud cleared Roserade flopped on the ground asleep.

"Wake up!" Fern shouted.

"Brave Bird!"

Talonflame flew towards Roserade as his body surrounded itself in a blue aura.

He slammed into Roserade created an explosion with blue shockwaves from it.

Soon Talonflame flew out of the smoke with his body suffering from the recoil damage and as the smoke cleared it revealed Roserade lying on the ground unconscious.

"Impressive. Ash knew Fern would use Sleep Powder, so he took advantage of that." Hardy thought to himself with a smirk.

Fern gritted his teeth as he returned Roserade and took out a new Poke Ball, "Krookodile wreck this loser!" Fern shouted as Krookodile appeared.

"Sandile evolved as well." Ash thought to himself.

"Krookodile use Stone Edge!"

Krookodile raised his right fist in the air, slammed it on the ground making blue boulders shot up from the ground and headed towards Talonflame.

"Dodge it and use Flame Charge!"

Talonflame zigzag in the air avoiding the Stone Edge as his body became surrounded by orange and yellow fire and slammed into Krookodile creating an explosion pushing him back slightly as Talonflame flew away.

"Krookodile use Dig!"

Krookodile starred to burrow his way under the ground.

"Talonflame Brave Bird and go after him!"

Talonflame surrounded his body by a blue aura, made a U-turn and followed Krookodile into the hole.

Soon an explosion happened underground, shooting Krookodile out of the ground with Talonflame following him, "Gggrrrrr Thunder Fang!"

Krookodile turned to Talonflame as his fangs became surrounded by electricity, slammed his jaw on Talonflame's right wing making him screech in pain.

"Flame Charge!"

Talonflame engulfed his body in fire, forcing Krookodile to withdraw his mouth from Talonflame and flew away.

"Brave Bird!"

Talonflame made a U-Turn and flew towards Krookodile as his body became surrounded by a blue fire aura.

"Thunder Fang again!"

Krookodile turned to Talonflame with his Thunder Fang still activated and opened his mouth.

Both Pokemon slammed their attacks into each other created an explosion with electricity and blue fire flying from it.

When the smoke died down it revealed both Pokemon lying on the ground unconscious.

"Well Fern has two Pokemon while Ash still has three, wonder how this battle will turn out?" Hardy asked out.

"Don't know." Aya answered while, she bent down a bit, leaning her elbows on her legs with her hands leaning against her cheek,

Ash and Fern returned their Pokemon and brought out a new Poke Ball each, "Scyther wreck this loser!" Fern shouted as Scyther appeared as he crossed his blades against each other.

"Lycanroc I choose you!" Ash shouted as Dusk Lycanroc appeared with a howl.

Hardy leaned towards the Dusk Lycanroc, "Wow, I've never seen a Lycanroc like that before. It's tough looking." Hardy thought to himself.

"Scyther use Air Slash!"

Scyther opened his wings as they glowed light blue, flapped them created light blue energy sawblades and flew towards Lycanroc.

They slammed into Lycanroc created an explosion, pushed Lycanroc back but still fine.

"Now use Slash!"

Scyther started to flap his wings rapidly and flew towards Lycanroc as his scythes glowed white.

"Accelerock!"

Lycanroc's eyes changed from green to red and dashed forwards as his surrounded by a white light.

Scyther swung his scythes against Lycanroc's head creating shockwaves but Lycanroc over powered Scyther and send him flying.

"Don't let up! Stone Edge!"

Lycanroc roared as he raised his forelegs in the air before slamming them on the ground causing blue boulders to shoot up from the ground.

It slammed under Scyther's back and created an explosion.

When the smoke died down it revealed Scyther lying on the ground unconscious.

Hardy was surprised, "That was fast." Hardy thought to himself.

Fern returned Scyther and took out his final Poke Ball, "Decidueye wreck this loser!" Fern shouted as the Ghost and Grass evolution of Rowlet appeared in the air before he landed and narrowed his eyes at Ash.

"Let's go Lycanroc!" Ash shouted with Lycanroc nodding in response and started to growl.

"Spirit Shackle!"

Decidueye pulled out an arrow quill from his right wing, a shadowy aura surrounding the tip and fired it heading towards Lycanroc.

"Stone Edge!"

Lycanroc raised his front legs before slamming them on the ground creating blue energy boulders that headed towards Decidueye.

The Spirit Shackle broke through about 4 boulders but upon the fifth boulder it blocked the Spirit Shackle, before it broke it into pieces and the Stone Edge continued towards Decidueye.

"Tch, Leaf Blade!" Decidueye's right wing glowed green, he swung it sideways slicing the boulders in half from the top and destroyed them.

"Now head towards him!" Decidueye started fly towards Lycanroc with his Leaf Blade still active.

He swung his right wing against Lycanroc's face making him grunt in pain.

"Don't give in! Use Crunch!"

Lycanroc glared at Decidueye, his fangs glowed black, opened his mouth and slammed his fangs on Decidueye's right wing making him screech in pain.

"Throw him!" Lycanroc turned his head to the right before swinging it forwards as he released Decidueye from his grasp sending him flying and with his eyes closed.

"Spirit Shackle!"

Decidueye opened his eyes, readjusted himself, as he landed on a rock, pulled an arrow from his wing, aimed it at Lycanroc as a shadow aura appeared at the tip before he fired it heading towards Lycanroc.

"Use Accelerock to dodge!"

Lycanroc's body was surrounded by a white light and jumped up avoiding the arrow.

"Keep firing until you hit the damn wolf!" Decidueye pulled out arrows and fired them rapidly.

Lycanroc landed as he started to run side of side as he kept moving forward and avoiding.

"Lycanroc use Crunch!"

Lycanroc leaped towards Decidueye, as the white aura vanished but was replaced by his fangs glowing black.

Decidueye raised his right wing as Lycanroc slammed his fangs into his wings creating an explosion, sending Decidueye flying and making him crash into a boulder.

"Get up!" Fern shouted getting annoyed and mad.

Ash smirked, "Let's finish this, Lycanroc use Stone Edge!"

Lycanroc roared as he landed on the ground, when he did blue boulders shot up from the ground and headed towards Decidueye.

"Dodge it!" Fern shouted making Decidueye turn to the boulders, he tried to fly away, but his right wing stung him making him flinch in pain as the boulders slammed under Decidueye making him screech in pain as an explosion happened with blue shockwaves flying from the smoke.

When the smoke died down it revealed Decidueye lying on the ground unconscious.

Ash smirked, "I win." Ash declared as Lycanroc blinked, when he opened his eyes again, they changed back to green.

Fern's right eye twitched in anger as he returned Decidueye.

Ash heard Hardy and Aya walking towards him, making him turn and saw Hardy with a smirk on his face, "You know mate, you made my day as well as the trip worth wild by defeating Fern and watching it happen." Hardy explained.

"Yeah right!" Fern shouted making everyone turn and saw him walking towards them.

"I went easy on him, because I didn't want to see him cry." Fern explained with arrogance.

Ash, Pikachu and Lycanroc narrowed their eyes at him, "Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night." Hardy replied not convinced in the slightest.

"Well are you ready?" Aya asked making everyone turn to her.

"Sure, I'll change my Pokemon and then we can begin." Ash answered making Aya nod in response.

"I don't want to miss this." Fern told the group as he walked to the stands.

"I'll referee." Hardy told the pair.

"Sure whatever." Aya replied.

Ash changed his Pokemon as he took his place on the field where Fern was standing while Aya went to where Ash was.

"I'm not sure who I want to lose more?" Fern asked out loud.

Aya and Ash turned to him, "Do you hate everyone or just by default?" Aya asked.

Fern shook his head, "No just you and Ash." Fern answered.

"The feelings mutual Fern." Ash answered.

"Hey, lay off them mate!" Hardy shouted.

"No, it's fine. I'm not a good person and I shouldn't even be doing this." Aya replied.

Hardy turned to Aya, "Hey come one. Don't be like that, this is not the time to doubt yourself. Chin up, I know that you'll rock this battle." Hardy encouraged Aya.

"I'd better be off when everyone left me alone." Aya replied as she turned to Ash.

Ash frowned by Aya's attitude, "She reminds me of how I felt when my friends betrayed me." Ash thought to himself.

"This battle between Ash and Aya will now begin! Each side will use six Pokemon, which will be in double format and the battle will be over when one trainer loses all their Pokemon! Let's Rock and Roll!" Hardy shouted.

Ash and Aya took out their Poke Balls, "Tauros and Gible I choose you!" Ash shouted as Tauros and Gible appeared.

"Nidoqueen and Toxapex poison them!" Aya shouted as the final evolution of a female Nidorina appeared and the evolved form of Mareanie appeared.

All four Pokemon glared at each other ready to fight.
