On with the story

A few months after the Sinnoh League Tournament

In a grand tournament arena

Fans were cheering like crazy as two Trainers had their Pokémon battled out to the fullest

Elite Four, Oba vs Sinnoh League Tournament Champion's Ken

It was the battle of the century

Hitmonchamp was out on the field as the Punching Pokémon was up against Infernape, Oba's last Pokémon

Both Pokémon were exhausted as their battle took to the limits

"not bad, Ken! But we won't lose!" Oba exclaimed as Infernape's Blaze activated

"same to us!" Ken shouted as Hitmonchamp punched its fists together

"Both Trainers are with their Last Pokémon! Who will win!? Ken and Hitmonchamp!? or Oba and Infernape!?"

"MACH PUNCH!" "DYNAMIC PUNCH!" Ken and Oba shouted as both Hitmonchamp and Infernape dashed towards each other with their right fists pulled back "GOOOO!"

Each Pokémon sends their attack as they clashed in power before an explosion rang out

"what power!? Both Mach Punch and Dynamic Punch clashed with each other! Do we have our winner!?"

The dust settled and revealed Hitmonchamp and Infernape with their right fists out

Both Pokémon were in opposite fields as they weren't moving

A few seconds passed before Hitmonchamp fell to one knee and grunted

Infernape turns towards Hitmonchamp and grins before falling down to the ground, knocked out

"Infernape is unable to battle! Hitmonchamp wins!" the referee announced, "the winner is Ken of Lavender Town!"

"there it is! He has done the impossible yet again! Goyo! Ryou! Kikuno! And now Oba! All member of Sinnoh's Elite Four member has been defeated! Ken has now the right to go and challenge Champion Shirona for the title of Champion Master!"

The crowds cheered as Ken and Oba walked to the center of the field with their Pokémon beside each other

"that was a great battle, Ken" Oba said as he reached out his hand to Ken

Ken nodded before shaking his hand

"yeah, thank you for the battle, Oba" Ken replied

"go! challenge Shirona and become Champion Master!" Oba said as he patted Ken's shoulder

Ken nodded before the crowds applauded them


Ken was at the Pokémon Center as he gave her his Pokeballs for his Pokémon to get healed

"I'll have them healed up in no time" Nurse Joy said as she takes away the tray of Pokeballs and heads to the back

"thank you" Ken said before hands reached from behind and closed his eyes

"guess who~?" a feminine voice spoke as Ken smiled before holding the hands and turns around

Behind Ken was Shirona who had a smile to him

"Shirona..." Ken said with a smile

"that was a great battle. I could tell that the two of you enjoyed it" Shirona said as Ken nodded

The two then started walking away to a nearby café as they walked there while holding hands

Yes, the two are now dating after Ken's embarrassed and awkward confession to her back at the Sinnoh League Tournament, a few months back

"with this.." Ken said as he pulled out a chair for Shirona before pushing it back and then going to his chair "..our battle is the only one awaits"

Shirona nodded before the waitress came to take their order


After getting a quick ice cream dessert from the café and getting Ken's Pokémon who are all healed up

The two heads to the tournament field where the crowds and spectators awaits them

"here they come! Champion Shirona! And her Challenger, Ken!" the MC shouted as the spectators cheered for their appearance "will Ken win and become the Champion Master!? Or will Shirona retain her title as the Champion!?""

"KEN! KEN! KEN! KEN! KEN! KEN! KEN! KEN!" "SHIRONA! SHIRONA! SHIRONA! SHIRONA! SHIRONA! SHIRONA!"

The crowds cheered like crazy as Ken sighs in hearing their cheers

"no matter how many times I hear it, I still can't get used to having so many crazy fans" Ken said as Shirona giggled

"you get used to it in no time" Shirona said as the two entered their side of the field

"we will now begin the final match!" the referee announced "both Trainers may use up to six Pokémon each! Substitutions is allowed! The battle will be over when all six Pokémon are unable to battle from both side! Is the Champion and the Challenger ready!?"

"take to the sky! Garchomp!" "Golurk! Let's do this!"

Ken and Shirona called out their Pokémon as it was Garchomp and Golurk

The two Pokémon glared hard at each other as their rivalry started to burn

"and the first round is between Shirona's Garchomp and Ken's Golurk! Both Pokémon are both Trainer's number one partner!"

"ladies first! you can have the first move, Shirona!" Ken exclaimed

"thanks Ken! But don't' regret it!" Shirona exclaimed "Dragon Rush!"

Garchomp let out a growl before dashing towards Golurk with the Dragon Rush

"charge with Dynamic Punch!" Ken shouted as Golurk flies towards Garchomp with the Dynamic Punch readied

The two dashed towards each other before they clashed their attacks

The collision of attacks caused a powerful explosion to blew out as Golurk and Garchomp skidded back from their collision

"Dynamic Punch against Dragon Rush! Both attacks are so strong that it blew them away!"

Ken and Shirona smiles as their battle had just begun

"let's go full on!" Ken shouted as Golurk punched its fists together

"let's give it our all, Garchomp!" Shirona exclaimed as Garchomp growls out

"Darkest Lariat!" "Dragon Claw!" The two shouted as Garchomp readied its talons while Golurk pulled back both of its fists before they dashed towards each other

Golurk punched out its fists and Garchomp sends its talon as the Two Pokémon clashed their attack that instantly caused an explosion


The sun was setting as a flock of Starly was flying away and was being followed by some Staraptor and Staravia

Golurk and Garchomp were standing on their side of the field before they slowly fell forward

"Golurk and Garchomp are unable to battle! The result is a draw!" the referee announced as he raised both flags up

"Both Pokemons are unable to battle! a draw! the result is a DRAW!"

Ken and Shirona let out a long sigh but with satisfied smiles

The result of their battle ended in a draw as both Shirona and Ken have no more Pokémon available for battle

"looks like it's another Draw" Ken said as Shirona nodded

"I guess we can't see who is stronger" Shirona said

"with the result of the battle ended in a draw, Shirona's Champion title has been defended!"

"you did great, Golurk" Ken told Golurk who nodded while slowly getting up

"guess the two of you have to try again next time" Shirona said walking towards Ken with Garchomp beside her

"I guess so" Ken said with a small laugh

"let us give a big applause to Challenger, Ken!" the MC shouted as the crowds cheered and clapped their hands for the two

Ken and Shirona shakes each other hand before they waved their hands around for the crowds


The tournament ended as Ken did not become Sinnoh's Champion Master

The Trainer was now standing near the entrance of the Tournament Arena with Shirona and the Elite Four

"train harder, Ken! You're free to challenge us any time! Anywhere!" Oba exclaimed as he patted Ken's shoulder

Ken nodded before he shook hand with Oba

"once you've become Unova's Champion, you can directly challenge Shirona if you want" Goyo said but Ken shook his head

"and miss out another battle with you guys again? Hell no" Ken replied

"what a crazy guy you are!" Ryou said with a grin

"he sure is" Kikuno said in agreement

Ken then turns to Shirona who reached out her hand towards him

"I'll be waiting Ken" Shirona said as Ken nodded and shook her hand

"yeah!" Ken nodded with determination in his eyes

"well then!" Ken lifted up his bag over his shoulder as he did a goodbye wave "I'm off!"

Ken then started walking away as Shirona and the others waved him goodbye

Shirona watched Ken walks away to his journey before she suddenly runs towards Ken

"Shirona?" Oba looks in surprise as Kikuno let out a sigh while smiling

"aah, to be young again" she said


Ken walks away before he hears running behind him

"Ken!" he turns around and sees Shirona running towards him

"Shirona?" he said before he got pulled into a kiss by her

His eyes widen in surprise as he looks to Shirona who gave him a soft smile

"promise to call me daily, alright?" Shirona said as Ken dumbly nodded

Shirona smiles as Ken blushed a bit while rubbing the back of his head


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
