Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon and I didn't make Pokemon Reborn
Ash walked through the hallway and saw Serra standing on the battle field which was made from mirrors.
"Welcome Ash I'm glad that you can make it." Serra greeted Ash.
Ash walked to his side of his field, "Thank you Serra." Ash replied.
"Some people might think my arena is vain but I'm rather fond of mirrors because they reflect a lot more than simply your reflections. Within reflections and crystal is imperfections and that's where you can find art." Serra explained to Ash making him nod in response.
"So, if you win, I'll give you the badge and the medicine." Serra told Ash making him nod in response.
In the stands El and Bennett are sitting down, "Bennett can they hear us?" El asked.
Bennett turned to El confused, "Kind of a strange question. but this is a one-way mirror, so they can't see us, but they may be able to hear us if they focus on the battle." Bennett answered.
"I see." El replied as he shifted his gaze back to the battle.
A maid walked to the side, "The Single battle between Ash the challenger and mistress Serra will now begin. Each side will use six Pokemon the battle will be over when all Pokemon on one side are unable to continue. In addition, both trainers can make substitutions. Begin!" A maid shouted.
"I'm interested to see your true self, Glaceon show your reflection!" Serra shouted as the ice evolution of Eevee appeared.
"A Glaceon huh? In that case." Ash thought to himself before he took out a Poke ball.
"Incineroar, I choose you!" Ash shouted as his final evolution of the Alolan Fire Starter appeared with a teeth smirk.
"I'll begin. Glaceon use Aurora Veil!"
Glaceon shouted as aurora with different colours appeared above them.
Ash and Incineroar narrowed their eyes, "Glaceon use Ice Beam!"
Glaceon formed a sphere in front of her mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards.
"Use Darkest Lariat!"
Incineroar smirked, as his hands became surrounded by dark aura, started spinning around as he moved closer and cutting through the attack.
Incineroar slammed his right hand into Glaceon's stomach sending her sliding across the ground and cancelled her attack.
Soon Glaceon stopped sliding, turned to glare at Incineroar who stopped spinning and glared back.
"Flame Charge!"
Incineroar started stomping his feet on the ground rapidly before his body became surrounded by orange and red fire and flew towards Glaceon.
"Signal Beam to the right!"
Glaceon opened her mouth and fired a lime green beam to the right.
It bounced off the wall, collided with the left of Incineroar's stomach, created an explosion, making him slide across the ice and crashed into a wall.
Incineroar rubbed the back of his head as he grunt before he stood up, glared at Glaceon and breathed hard as embers coming out of his mouth.
"Glaceon on Signal Beam to the left!"
Glaceon opened her mouth and gathered energy.
"Argh! What do I do? . . . Wait . . . that's it!" Ash thought to himself.
"Incineroar smash the ground below you!" Serra and Bennett raised an eyebrow confused while El leaned forward slightly.
Incineroar slammed his fist on the ground breaking the mirror ice below him and sending pieces into the air.
Glaceon fired the Signal Beam towards Incineroar, "Grab the biggest piece!" Ash shouted making Serra's eyes wide open.
Incineroar grabbed the biggest piece he could find.
Incineroar raised the piece in front of his chest, making Signal Beam bounce off the mirror, headed back to Glaceon, slammed into her and created an explosion.
"Glaceon!" Serra shouted in worry.
"Finish this with Cross Chop!"
Incineroar tossed the broke mirror aside, dashed towards Glaceon who emerged from the smoke still conscious and as Incineroar crossed his arms and glowed brown.
When Glaceon turned to Incineroar, he leaped towards her and slammed his arms on her back making her shout in pain as the ice smashed beneath them making white smoke appear around them.
When the smoke cleared it revealed Incineroar with his arms crossed, while looking down at Glaceon who is lying on the ground unconscious, "Glaceon is unable to battle. Incineroar wins!" The maid declared.
Serra's mouth as well as her eyes were widening a bit before she lowered them and smirked, "I must say, I've never seen anyone using my mirrors the way you did before." Serra told Ash.
Ash smirked, "Since this whole field is made of ice-mirrors, I knew that you would try to use the reflections to your advantage. So, I took advantage of that." Ash replied.
Serra's smirk grew, returned Glaceon and took out a new Poke Ball, "In that case I better get serious. Ninetales show your reflection!" Serra shouted as the Alola Ice and Fairy Ninetales appeared and when she did it started to hail.
Ash saw Incineroar getting pelted by the hail making him grunt slightly, "You ready to go?" Ash asked.
"Roar!" Incineroar shouted as he bent down slightly in a battle stance, as some embers flew out of his teeth with a smirk, indicating he's good to go.
"Then use Flame Change!"
Incineroar started to stomp his feet rapidly and soon he shot himself towards Ninetales with his body surrounded by orange and red fire.
"]Aurora Beam!"
Ninetales opened her mouth and fired greenish and blue beam.
It slammed into Incineroar, created an explosion sending him sliding across the ice and out of the smoke.
Incineroar slammed his claws into the ice making stopping him from sliding, stood up and glared at Ninetales.
"Darkest Lariat!"
Incineroar smirked, his hands became surrounded by black aura, spun around and headed towards Ninetales.
"Moonblast!"
Ninetales gathered moon energy, formed a pink orb and fired it.
"Slide under it and then use Flame Charge!"
Incineroar stopped his current attack, slid under the Moon Blast making it miss, he stood back up, his body became surrounded by orange and red fire and dashed towards Ninetales.
Incineroar slammed into Ninetales, created an explosion, sending her flying and crashed into a wall.
Incineroar stood there smirking. Ash saw the Moon Blast reflecting off the mirror and headed towards Incineroar, "Incineroar duck!" Incineroar turned around only to see the Moon Blast, collided with him and created an explosion.
When the smoke cleared it revealed Incineroar lying on the ground on his back with his arms, legs spread out and unconscious, "Incineroar is unable to battle. Ninetales wins!" The maid declared.
Ninetales stood up and shook her head as Ash returned Incineroar, "Thanks. Take a good rest." Ash thanked Incineroar as he took out a new Poke Ball.
"Bulbasaur I choose you!" Ash shouted as Bulbasaur appeared.
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur shouted determined as the hail started pelting him.
Serra and Bennett were surprised while El narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't know what you're up to. But I'm interested to see. Aurora Beam let's go!"
Ninetales fired a greenish and blue beam that flew towards Bulbasaur.
"Jump with Vine Whip!"
Bulbasaur extended his vines, jumped up, avoided the beam, making the beam bounced off the wall, headed back towards Ninetales, it slammed into Ninetales and created an explosion.
"Bulbasaur use Bullet Seeds and spin!"
Bulbasaur started to spin around as he fired seed with green lining around them as they fired in every direction.
They bounced all over the place making Serra cover her head with her hands and as the seeds hit Ninetales all over her body making her grunt in pain.
"Solar Beam!"
Bulbasaur stopped spinning, landed back on the ground, the Hail continued to pelt him making him grunt in pain, but he gathered yellow energy on the tip of his bulb.
"Aurora Beam!"

Serra and Ash stared at the smoke, when it died down it revealed Bulbasaur who has some bruises but still standing and conscious. Ninetales is lying on the ground who is bruised as well but she is unconscious.
"Ninetales is unable to battle. Bulbasaur wins." The maid declared.
Serra was surprised but smirked as she returned Ninetales and took out a new Poke Ball, "I'm beginning to understand your true self, show me more. Sandslash show your reflection!" Serra shouted as the Ice and Steel type Alolan version of Sandslash appeared and made some slashes in the air.
Ash looked down at Bulbasaur who is looking over at him and nodded his head. Ash nodded in response and turned back to Serra and Sandslash, "Bulbasaur use Bullet Seed!"
Bulbasaur fired multiple seeds with green lining around them that headed towards Sandslash.
"Iron Head!"
Sandslash skated across the ice as she lowered her head with it and the front icicle becoming surrounded by a silver energy.
She pushed her way through the seeds and continued her path towards Bulbasaur.
"Jump with Vine Whip!"
Bulbasaur extended his wings, placed them on the ground, slinging himself up the air avoiding the attack.
Serra smirked, "Icicle Crash!"
Sandslash stopped where she is, looked up, opened her arms out as icicles appeared and headed towards Bulbasaur.
They slammed into Bulbasaur created an explosion with white smoke coming from it. Soon Bulbasaur fell out of the smoke and landed on the ground unconscious, "Bulbasaur is unable to battle. Sandslash wins." The maid declared.
"Bulbasaur!" Ash shouted in concern as he ran to him and picked him so that he is facing him.
"Are you ok?" Ash asked.
Bulbasaur's eyes fluttered slowly, until they were fully opened, turned to him and nodded sadly, "Bulb, Bulbasaur." Bulbasaur said sadly like he's apologizing.
Ash smiled, "Don't worry you were great. Take a long-earned rest." Ash replied as he returned Bulbasaur, stood up, walked back to his spot, turned and took out a new Poke ball.
"He cares a lot about his Pokemon. He really is quite a special trainer." Serra thought to herself with a small smile.
"Hawlucha I choose you!" Ash shouted as Hawlucha appeared with a pose but started to get pelted by the Hail.
Serra smirked by this, "Quite the Pokemon you have Ash. Let's see how far he'll take you. Sandslash use Hone Claws!"
Sandslash's claws glowed white and slashed the air in front of her increasing her attack power.
"Use Karate Chop!"
Hawlucha started to skate on the ice towards Sandslash with his fist glowing white.
"Brick Break!"
Sandslash's fists glowed brown and she started to skate across the ice towards Hawlucha.
Hawlucha as well as Sandslash reeled their right fist back before swinging it forwards, making them collide with each other creating shockwaves that flew out the field and causing some of the mirrors to crack.
Hawlucha as well as Sandslash swung their left fist at each other. Hawlucha's fist slammed into Sandslash's head while Sandslash slammed her attack under Hawlucha's chin.
Hawlucha was sent in the air while Sandslash was pushed back and the hail stopped.
"Icicle Crash!"
Sandslash recovered, turned to Hawlucha, created multiple icicle's and flew towards Hawlucha.
"Take it!" Ash shouted as Hawlucha turned to the incoming icicles, crossed his arms over his stomach before the icicles collided with them and created an explosion with white smoke.
Soon Hawlucha fell out of the smoke and landed on the ground with his arm-wings covered by a powder of ice.
Hawlucha swung out his arms breaking the ice off them and smirked at Sandslash.
Ash was watched the pair, until he turned to Sandslash, noticed something and smirked, "That will work!" Ash thought to himself
"Sandslash use Iron Head!"
Sandslash skated towards Hawlucha lowered her head as it and the front icicle became surrounded by a silver energy.
"Not yet!" Ash shouted as Sandslash slammed into Hawlucha's stomach making him slide back a few feet before stopping and smirked.
"Is he just going to keep taking attacks?" Bennett asked confused.
El didn't answer but continued to watch Hawlucha.
Hawlucha's body started to glow red slightly making the ice beneath his steam up and he gestured to Sandslash to bring it.
Serra was confused for a bit, before she narrowed her eyes, "Sandslash use Brick Break!"
Sandslash skated towards Hawlucha as her claws glowed brown.
Ash smirked, "Hawlucha get in close!" Hawlucha skate across the ice heading towards the incoming Sandslash.
When they were close enough, "Jump over!" Ash shouted as Hawlucha leaped over Sandslash surprising everyone.
"Grab her tail!" When Hawlucha landed he spun around, grabbed her tail, lifted her off the ground and started to spin her around.
"Slam her into the ground!" Hawlucha stopped spinning her, lifted her above his head before slamming her into the ground making ice around her shatter in pieces with white dust coming from it.
When the dust settled it revealed Sandslash lying on the ground still conscious but grunting in pain.
Sandslash slowly opened her eyes, looked at Hawlucha, tried to get up, but she couldn't.
Serra was confused until she saw the tips of Sandslash's icicles wedged into the ground preventing her from getting up.
"No way!" Serra shouted in shock with Bennett also shock while El was surprised.
Ash smirked, "Yes way! Flying Press!"
Hawlucha bent down, before jumping into the air, extended his arms outwards, spun around his body was surrounded by a white aura and flew towards the wedged Sandslash.

When the dust cleared it revealed Hawlucha facing Ash with his arms cross while Sandslash is lying on the ground unconscious, "Sandslash is unable to battle. Hawlucha is the winner." The maid declared.
Serra was surprised as well as shocked by this, before she closed her mouth, returned Sandslash and smirked at Ash, "I must say, using the spikes of Sandslash's back to wedge her into the ground was genius." Serra complimented.
"In a battle anything can be used as a weapon. Sometimes our opponents' greatest weapon can be our advantage." Ash explained making Hawlucha nod in agreement and soon the hail stopped and the clouds that were there cleared.
Serra chuckled by that, "You really are one-of-a-kind, aren't you?" Serra asked before she took out a new Poke Ball.
"Let's see how you'll beat this one. Aurorus show your reflection!" Serra shouted before the Kalos Fossil Ice and Rock type appeared and let out a roar.
Ash was surprised, "An Aurorus!" Ash shouted in surprised.
"Cha." Hawlucha replied while nodding his head just as surprised.
Serra smirked, "Good luck with this one." Serra told Ash as Aurorus let out another roar and soon the clouds came back, and it started to Hail again.
Aurorus use Thunder Wave!"

"Karate Chop!"
Hawlucha's right arm glowed white, leaped towards Aurorus, slammed it into her lower neck making her grunt in pain as she slid back a bit.
Soon Hawlucha jumped back and landed in front of Ash while Aurorus regained her balance and the two glared at each other but the Hail pelted Hawlucha.
"Flying Press!"
Hawlucha jumped into the air so that he was higher than Aurorus, opened his arms out, spun around and flew towards Aurorus.
Serra smirked, "Water Pulse!" Aurorus opened her mouth and fired a water sphere.
The sphere slammed into Hawlucha created an explosion with white smoke.
Soon Hawlucha landed on the ground, on his feet but kneeled in pain and panting heavily, "Hawlucha!" Ash shouted in concern.
Serra smirked, "Aurora Beam!"
Aurorus reared her head back before snapping it forward as she fired a greenish and blue beam.
Hawlucha looked up, saw the beam in front of him, it slammed into him and created an explosion, "Hawlucha!" Ash shouted in concern again.
Soon the smoke cleared revealing Hawlucha lying on the ground unconscious, "Hawlucha is unable to battle. Aurorus wins!" The maid declared.
Ash smiled sadly and took out his Poke Ball, "Thank you Hawlucha take a good rest." Ash returned Hawlucha before he took out his fourth Poke Ball.
"Pignite I choose you!" Ash shouted as Pignite appeared and fired some embers from his snout.
"Another Fire Type as well as a Fighting Type." Bennett observed.
El continued to watch Ash, "This boy . . ." El thought to himself.
"Pignite use Flame charge!"
Pignite started stomping on the ground repeatedly before he shot himself towards Aurorus with his body surrounded by orange and yellow fire.
"Water Pulse!"
Aurorus fired a water sphere from her mouth and flew towards Pignite.
"Send it back with Brick Break!" Pignite's right fist became surrounded by a brow aura.
He swung his fist against the Water Pulse, sending it back, slammed into Aurorus and created an explosion with her shouting pain.
"What!?" Serra shouted in shock.
Aurorus didn't have time to recover because Pignite slammed into her lower neck sending her back and crashed into a wall shattering the glass around her.
Pignite jumped away and landed in front of Ash while Aurorus slowly got herself upright and glared at Pignite with the Hail pelting him.
"Use Flamethrower!"
Pignite took a depth breath before firing orange and red fire from his snout.

The two attacks collided at the centre with each other of them slightly pushing each other back before an explosion happened creating a cloud black smoke.
"Water Pulse!"
Aurorus fired a sphere of water from her mouth and disappeared into the smoke.
Pignite glanced around trying to find the attack when suddenly the Water Pulse slammed into Pignite's back sending him face first into the ground.
Soon the smoke cleared revealing Pignite lying on the ground, "Pignite!" Ash shouted before Pignite slowly got back on his feet.
Ash saw Pignite's back is wet making him narrow his eyes, "Aurorus must've fired the Water Pulse so that it would bounce off the walls and slammed into Pignite's back." Ash thought to himself as the Hail continued to pelt Pignite.
"Aurora Beam!"
Aurorus fired a greenish and blue beam from her mouth that flew towards Pignite.
"Fire Pledge go!"
Pignite shot embers from his snout before he slammed his right fist on the ground making fire pillars shoot up from the ground and headed towards the incoming beam.

When it was in front of Aurorus, it circled around her to form a ring before they merged into a giant pillar making Aurorus shot in pain.
"Aurorus!" Serra shouted in concern.
Soon the Fire Pledge died down, allowing Aurorus to fall on the ground with scorch marks and unconscious, "Aurorus is unable to battle. Pignite wins!" The maid declared.
"Great Pignite!" Ash shouted happily making Pignite nod in response and shot some embers from his snout.
Serra smirked, "That's one impressive Fire Pledge. Return Aurorus." Serra complimented before she returned the Fossil Kalos Pokemon.
Serra turned to Ash, "Not bad Ash, I'm impressed. Now then let's kick it up a notch. Jynx show your reflection!" Serra shouted as the Kanto Ice and Psychic Pokemon appeared.
Soon the Hail ceased and the clouds above them cleared.
"Let's win this! Pignite use Flamethrower!"
Pignite took a depth breath before firing orange and red fire from his snout.
"Focus Blast!"
Jynx brought her hands next to each other, created a blue sphere in between them, before she swung her arms outwards and fired the sphere.
The two attacks collided with each other at the centre of the field and created an explosion.
"Flame Charge!"
Pignite started stomping on the ground repeatedly before he shot himself towards Aurorus with his body surrounded by orange and yellow fire.
"Use Ice Beam on the ground!"
Jynx formed a sphere in front of her mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards Pignite.
Pignite slammed into it, created an explosion with white smoke before Pignite jumped back and landed in front of Ash.
When the smoke cleared it revealed Jynx standing where she was with the ice boulder gone.
"In that case use Fire Pledge!"
Pignite shot embers from his snout and swung his fist at the ground.
"I don't think so! Use Ice Beam!"
Jynx formed a sphere in front of her mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards Pignite.
When Pignite was about to slam his fist on the ground the Ice Beam collided with his fist freezing it in place and froze on the ground.
"Pig?!/What?!" Pignite and Ash shouted in shock.
"Use Psyshock!"
Jynx fired a purple stream of energy between her hands and flew towards Pignite.
It slammed into Pignite created an explosion sending him crashing into a wall behind Ash.
"Pignite!" Ash shouted in concern as he turned to where Pignite crashed and saw him lying in a crater and unconscious.
"Pignite is unable to battle. Jynx wins!" The Maid declared.
Ash sighed sadly, "Thanks Pignite return and take a good rest." Ash returned Pignite before he turned back to his opponents and took out his fifth Poke Ball.
"Melmetal I choose you!" Ash shouted as Melmetal appeared and gave a battle cry.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this Pokemon, "I've never seen that one before!" Bennett explained surprised.
El was surprised as well before his expression turned curious.
Serra was surprised until a smirk appeared on her face, "A Pokemon that I've never seen before. This is going to be fun." Serra explained.
Ash smirked as well, "Trust me when I say this, Melmetal is a tough opponent." Ash explained as Melmetal raised its arms in the air.
Serra's smirked grew slightly, "I'll take your word for it! Jynx use Ice Beam!" Jynx formed a sphere in front of her mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards Melmetal.
Ash didn't give any orders as the Ice Beam collided with Melmetal and created an explosion with white smoke.
When the smoke died down it revealed Melmetal frozen in ice.
Serra smirked, "Focus Blast!"
Jynx brought her hands together, created a blue sphere between them, threw it and flew towards Melmetal.
"Melmetal deflect it!" The ice surrounding Melmetal started to shake before it burst and shattered, freeing Melmetal, surprising Serra and Jynx.
Melmetal started spinning his body around on the body with its arms outwards.
Melmetal's fist slammed into the Focus Blast and sending it back. Serra and Jynx were surprised but the returned Focus Blast slammed into Jynx created an explosion.
"Wow!" Bennet shouted in shock and amazement while El leaned forward slightly by the strength of Melmetal.
"Flash Cannon!"
Melmetal ceased its spinning, gathered energy in front of its eye, before Melmetal fired a silver beam and flew towards Jynx.
When the smoke cleared Jynx turned to her opponents only to see the Flash Cannon heading her way.
"Focus Blast!"
Jynx created a blue sphere in her right hand, threw it making it collide with the Flash Cannon, but it got overpowered. The Flash Cannon slammed into Jynx created an explosion making her slide back.
"Double Iron Bash!"
Melmetal started to spin its body again but faster than last time.
Bennet was interested because he never heard of that move before while Serra gave a low grunt and turned to Jynx and saw she is watching her opponents cautiously.
"Jynx use Hail!"
Jynx created a light blue sphere between her hands before she threw it in the air.
When it was below the ceiling it dispersed, then clouds appeared again, and it started to Hail again.
When Melmetal built up enough force, "GO!" Ash shouted as Melmetal extended its arms and headed towards Jynx.
Everyone was surprised when they saw that Melmetal can extend its arms.
Melmetal's fists slammed into Jynx sending her flying and crashed into a wall behind Serra, "Jynx!" Serra shouted as she turned to where Jynx crashed.
Serra saw Jynx lying in a crater and unconscious, "Jynx is unable to battle. Mel-Me . . . um, sorry sir, but what was its name again?" The maid asked Ash.
"Melmetal." Ash answered.
"Melmetal, ok. Melmetal wins!" The maid finished.
"Mel!" Melmetal roared as it raised its right fist in the air as the Hail pelted it but didn't seemed brothered by it.
Serra turned to Melmetal before back at Jynx, "Thank you." Serra returned Jynx before turning back to her opponents and smirked.
"I must say Melmetal's abilities caught me off guard. I've never have guessed that Melmetal could extend its arms." Serra explained.
Ash nodded in response, "Yeah. Melmetal's a great Pokemon." Ash replied as he turned to Melmetal and a tear of joy around its eye by being praised.
Serra's smirk turn into a smile as she took out her final Poke Ball, "The I must go all out on it. Froslass show your reflection!" Serra shouted as her Sinnoh Ice and Ghost type appeared while hovering above the ground and in front of Serra.
Ash narrowed his eyes slightly, "A Froslass." Ash thought to himself before turning to Melmetal.
"Melmetal don't underestimate her!" Ash called out making Melmetal nod in response.
"Then use Thunder Punch!" Melmetal reeled its right fist back before swinging and extended it towards Froslass with it surrounded by yellow electricity.
Serra smirked, "Dodge it!" Froslass vanished from sight making Melmetal hit nothing.
Ash and Melmetal were surprised until realization came to Ash, "Snow Cloak. That's why Serra ordered Hail before Melmetal's last attack." Ash thought to himself.
"Ice Beam!"
Melmetal turned its body around trying to Froslass but having no luck. Suddenly Melmetal was hit on the back by a light blue beam making it stumble forwards slightly.
Melmetal turned to where it got hit but saw nothing. Melmetal took a few steps forward trying to find Froslass.
"Melmetal try and anticipate where Froslass will be and use Flash Cannon!" Melmetal nodded before closing its one eye concentrating on where Froslass will be.
"Fros. Fros. Lass. Froslass." Froslass's voice echoed throughout the whole field but Melmetal stayed still trying to find her.
Froslass appeared behind Melmetal, opened her mouth and charged up an Ice Beam. But Melmetal shot its eye wide open, turned around and fired a silver beam from in front of its eye.
Froslass was surprised by this, but the Flash Cannon slammed into her created an explosion sending her a few feet but kept her hold on the Ice Beam.
When she regained her balance, she fired it making it slam into Melmetal created an explosion making it slide back until Melmetal crashed into a wall but still conscious and continued to get pelted by the Hail.
"Impressive. In that case, Shadow Ball!"
Froslass brought her hands next to each other, created a purple and black orb of energy and flung it forwards.
"Flash Cannon!"
Melmetal fired a silver beam from in front of its eye.
The two attacks collided and created an explosion where they made contact.
"Melmetal use Double Iron Bash straight ahead!"
Melmetal started spinning its body very fast until Melmetal swung its fists straight.
Melmetal's fist slammed into something but they heard shattering sounds. When the smoke cleared, they saw that Melmetal slammed its fists on the mirrors.
Ash and Melmetal were surprised by the fact that Froslass is gone as the Hail continued to pelt Melmetal.
Melmetal retracted its fist and took a few steps forwards trying to find Froslass.
"End of the line Ash! Froslass use Wake-Up-Slap!"
Froslass appeared in front of Melmetal with his hands glowing brown. She slammed them into Melmetal's chest making him shout in pain, before he was sent flying and crashed into the same wall earlier.
"Melmetal!" Ash shouted in concern as he saw Melmetal sitting down, while leaning against the wall and unconscious.
"Melmetal is unable to battle. Froslass wins!" The maid declared.
Ash was shocked before he sighed and smiled sadly, "Thanks Melmetal take a long rest." Ash returned Melmetal and took out his final Poke Ball.
"I'm interested in what your final Pokemon will be." Serra told Ash.
Ash smiled as he turned to the Poke Ball, "I only caught this one recently. But I believe he'll win this! Eevee I choose you!" Ash shouted as the Shiny Eevee appeared with sparkles.
Serra was surprised by this choice while Bennett raised an eyebrow and El narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ash bent down making Eevee turn to him, "This is our first battle Eevee all I can ask for is to do your best ok?" Ash asked.
Eevee's mouth was widen a bit surprised, but closed, as he replaced his surprised expression with a determined one and nodded his head, "Vee!" Eevee shouted determined as he turned to his opponents.
Serra smiled by this, "He knows that he must beat me to get that medicine. But even so he trusts his Eevee that he only just caught apparently. Ash really is a passionate trainer." Serra thought to herself.
"Froslass let's do this." Serra told Froslass making her nod in response before the Hail ceased and the clouds vanished.
"Froslass use Ice Beam!"
Froslass formed a sphere in front of her mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards Eevee.
"Eevee Dig!"
Eevee leaped forward, before he dug a hole and out of sight.
The Ice Beam missed its target making it bounce of the wall and slammed into Froslass created an explosion with white smoke and pushed her back slightly.
Froslass shook her head, regaining her senses and tried to find Eevee.
"Froslass use Water Pulse into the hole!"
Froslass brought her hands nest to each other, created a water sphere before firing it into the hole.
After a bit, a pillar of water shot of the ground to Froslass's right making everyone turn to it and saw Eevee on top of the pillar of water.
"Eevee!" Ash shouted in concern.
"Ice Beam!"
Froslass formed a sphere in front of her mouth and fired light blue beams that flew towards Eevee.
"Eevee use Copycat!"
Eevee turned towards Froslass, his body glowed white, before he opened his mouth and fired an Ice Beam.
The two Ice Beams collided with each other created an explosion where they contacted.
Soon the smoke died down revealed both still conscious, with Froslass still hovering above the ground and Eevee on his feet again after the water pillar died down.
"Froslass use Water Pulse!"
Froslass brought her hands nest to each other, created a water sphere and flung it towards Eevee.
"Send it back with Iron Tail!"
Eevee's tail glowed silver, spun around, slammed his tail into the Water Pulse sending it back, slamming into Froslass and created an explosion with white smoke.
"Froslass!" Serra shouted in concern.
"Iron Tail again!"
Eevee faced Froslass and leaped towards her with his tail still glowing silver.
"Wake-Up-Slap!"
Froslass turned to Eevee wither hands glowing brown.
Eevee did a backflip and swung his tail while Froslass swung her right fist forwards.
The two Pokemon collided with each other as they both grunted trying to gain the upper hand.
"Eevee use Shadow Ball!"
Eevee opened his mouth and fired a purple and black sphere that slammed into Froslass and created an explosion.
"FROSS!" Froslass shouted in pain.
"Froslass!" Serra shouted before she covered her head with her arms and turned away.
Soon the shockwaves ended allowing Serra to look back. After a bit the smoke cleared revealed Eevee who is sitting on top of Froslass conscious while Froslass is lying on the ground unconscious.
"Froslass is unable to battle. Eevee wins! And this means the victor is Ash the challenger!" The maid declared.
"We did it!" Ash shouted happily.
"Ee, vee!" Eevee shouted just as happy before he ran towards Ash.
Ash bent down, opened out his arms, allowing Eevee to leap in them and he hug Eevee, "You were great Eevee." Ash told Eevee making him nod in response happily.
Serra sighed sadly as she returned Froslass and walked up to Ash.
Ash saw Serra walking up to him and stood up with Eevee still in his arms.
"Congratulations Ash. The Rim Badge is yours." Serra handed Ash her Badge.
"Thank you." Ash thanked as he took it.
Serra reached in her pocket and pulled out a small bottle with liquid in it, "And per our agreement here is the medicine that should help your friend." Serra handed Ash the medicine.
"Thank you again." Ash took the medicine.
From the stands, "Wow that was an amazing battle." Bennett told no one in particular.
El stood up making Bennett turn to him, "Bennet let's talk outside." El told Bennett making him nod slowly before El walked out with Bennett following him.
Back on the field, "Well now I have (THUMP)" Ash was interrupted by a loud sound making the house shake a little.
Serra looked up, "Who wants to bet that the Pokemon Centre is now on top of my house?" Serra joked.
"I really don't want to think about that." Ash answered a bit unsure.
Serra shrugged her shoulders, "Well let's go and take a look." Serra told Ash making him nod in agreement before Serra ran outside with Ash only walking.
Outside of the house
"So, you understand right? To introduce an outsider such as yourself into the Elite Four is no easy feat." El told Bennett.
"Of course, I do sir." Bennett answered.
"Good. I'm providing you with a great service, so I'll expect the same in return and complete compliance from you." El explained.
"Yes sir." Bennett agreed.
"Now tell me two things, one tell me about my daughter's location. I know that you're not being honest about it." El told Bennett.
Bennett started to sweat a bit, "She . . . may have mentioned Vanhaen Castle. Sorry sir." Bennet answered before apologizing.
El turned away, "Of course she would go there." El whispered before turning back to Bennett.
"The other thing. Before she ran away, I gave her an Emerald Brooch. Does she still have it by any chance?" El asked.
Bennett raised an eyebrow confused by that, "Yeah . . .she does, and it makes her look beaut-" Bennet stopped when he saw El's expression.
Bennett coughed inside clearing his throat, "Yes sir. She does." Bennet answred.
El nodded, "Excellent. Now then let us leave." El told Bennett making his eyes widen a bit.
"Right now?!" Bennett asked a bit surprised.
"Yes. Unless you want to pass up your chance to become something bigger?" El asked.
Bennett looked down and shook his head, "No sir." Bennett answered.
"Good. Now let's go." El replied before he started to walk away.
Bennett followed him before he took one last look at his house, "Good bye mom. I'll come back when I can." Bennett said before he ran up to El.
