Chapter 17

Centiscorch and Garchomp clashed with Flame Wheel and Dragon Rush. The crowd roared as they watched the fight.

Garchomp and Centiscorch went back to their masters until they got their next order. "Use Flamethrower/Dragon Breath!"

Centiscorch and Garchomp releases a stream of fire and the latter released a beam of dragonic energy. The beams clashed until an explosion happened. Ravel and Centiscorch tried to find Garchomp until Garchomp appeared out of the ground and hit Centiscorch with a Dig.

Ravel saw this and Centiscorch was sent back to her. The fire centipede tried to stand but struggled. Ravel knew Centiscorch was running low on steam so she had to end this now. "Centiscorch, Overheat!"

Centiscorch released a powerful blast of fire at Garchomp. Garchomp was engulfed in the flames. Riser and his side cheered for Ravel but that ended when they heard.

"Use Giga Impact!" Garchomp charged out of the flames with a column of energy surrounding him and hit Centiscorch head on.

"What a twist! Garchomp took the attack but he looks unfazed in the slightest!"

Rias smirked at Riser. "Still think she won?"

Riser grumbled a bit while Yubelluna patted his back in comfort.

Centiscorch fell with swirls. The referee declared the match.

"Centiscorch is unable to battle. The winner is Garchomp."

Centiscorch's picture faded, signifying that he has been taken out of the tournament.

Garchomp roared in joy at winning while Issei congratulated him. "Want to take a rest?" Garchomp nodded and walked off the stadium to join the others.

Rias and her section cheered for Issei and Garchomp. Millicas saw the dragon. "Hey dad, I definitely want to be a trainer so I can beat big brother Issei one day."

Sirzechs looked shocked. "Wait you don't want to be a Maou like your father?" Grayfia rubbed her forehead because she knew what was going to happen. Millicas shook his head. "No way. A trainer sounds awesome than a lame Maou." Sirzechs was in the corner drawing circles in the stand mumbling Issei taking away his son. Grayfia just patted his back with her hand. "There, there."

Arceus and Wicke were struggling to hold in their laughter while Plumeria and Ariana laughed their ass off and rolled in the stands.

Ravel wasn't distracted and returned Centiscorch. "Thank you, my friend. Rest well." She took another Pokeball and threw it. "Let's go Darmanitan."

The Galar version came out and beat its chest. Vali was curious about this one and scanned it with his Pokédex.

"Darmanitan: The Zen Charm Pokemon. Though it has a gentle disposition, it's also very strong. It will quickly freeze the snowball on its head before going for a headbutt."

Vali was intrigued by this one and Bikou was wondering how it kept itself balanced with the giant snowball on its head.

Issei looked at Pheremosa and she nodded. She walked onto the battlefield. Rias and the other girls couldn't help but notice that this Pokémon was a beauty.

Rias used a Pokédex to tell her what this one was.

"Pheremosa. The Lissomine Pokémon. A life-form that lives in another world, its body is thin and supple, but it also possesses great power."

Rias was awed by this. "So she's an alien from another world."

Lille sat next to her. "That's right. Pheremosa is also known as Beauty. In her world, their actually known for acting like a princess. Elegant, calm, and beautiful. They may look like they don't have any power in them like Machamp or Garchomp but she's nothing to scoff at."

Issei and Ravel looked at each other while their Pokémon looked at each other as well. The ref saw this and began the match. "Begin."

Pheremosa leaped into the air and was trying to use High Jump Kick but Darmanitan leaned out of the way and used Ice Punch on her.

Pheremosa was sent back but had a little bit of ice on her leg. She brought her leg down and broke the ice. Pheremosa rushes in with Brick Break. Darmanitan powers up an Ice Beam and fires at her but Pheremosa's speed allows her to glide along the frozen field and hit him.

She continued to slide and use a combination of Low Sweep, Low Kick, and Brick Break. Darmanitan keeps taking the blows but that's exactly what Ravel wants.

Azazel's curious as to why Darmanitan is only taking the blows but not doing anything to block the attacks from Pheremosa. "Hey Asia, mind if I borrow that Pokédex?" Asia nodded and gave it to him.

Azazel did a search for Darmanitan and looked at its profile until his eyes widened. "Oh so that's it. Well played Ravel."

Rias and the others were curious. "What'd you find Azazel?"

He shook his head. "No spoilers."

Pheremosa continued her attack but then Darmanitan was surrounded by fire and she jumped away but was then shot by a fireball. She took the hit and was sent back a few feet.

As the fire dispersed, it revealed Darmanitan but in his new form. Issei was shocked because he heard of Darmanitans and their ability to transform at a certain time when their almost out of steam.

The new Galar Zen Darmanitan was charging at Pheremosa and used Thrash on her and gave her the beating she wouldn't forget. Pheremosa was weakened and tried to use one last High Jump Kick with all of her strength.

She powered up her leg and roared as she brought it down but...

CLANG!

Pheremosa was shocked to see the Darmanitan turned back to his original form and Fire and Ice Punch to block the attack.

Darmanitan put his fists down and patted Pheremosa on the head. Issei saw what the Ice type was doing and thanked him. Pheremosa was shocked but smiled none the less. She fell and fainted.

The referee saw this and declared the match over. "Pheremosa is unable to battle! The winner is Darmanitan." The crowd roared as Issei went to Pheremosa and picked her up. He carried her to his team and laid her down before brushing her face to get the dirt off of it. "You fought well Pheremosa. I thank you for giving it your all. But for now rest and heal." Pheremosa smiles as she heard this and used Rest to heal.

Ajuka and Azazel were impressed with Ravels strategy and proud of Issei caring for his partner and team. It made them proud that he took care of his members like a King would their peerage.

Issei turned back to the fight and looked at Charizard. The fire dragon roared and got to the battlefield.

The referee saw they were ready. "Begin!"

"Charizard Flamethrower!" The dragon released a stream of fire and burned the Ice warrior but Issei didn't stop there. "Now Fire and Thunder Punch!"

Charizard's fists were covered in fire and lightning and charged at the Ice Pokémon and a four hit combo. Darmanitan fainted after the barrage.

"I knew this would happen." Vali and the others looked at the two scientists. "You mean Ravel knew that Darmanitan would've fainted soon?"

Azazel nodded. "Darmnaitan was taking all of those hits and put on a tough act to win against Pheremosa but when Charizard was blasting powerful attacks at Darmanitan the fatigue caught up to him."

Ravel returned Darmanitan and brought out her Charizard. "Win or lose. I'll give you all of our power." She turned to her Charizard. "Ready Amber?" The Charizard now named Amber roared.

Issei reader his bracelet, as did Ravel, and they pressed the stone inside of them. ""Respond to our will! Now! Mega Evolve!""

The two glowed and changed. Ravels became a lot sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer feet.

Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame.

As for Issei's Charizard its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward.

Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. The mouth is filled with blue fire and the flame on its tail becomes blue as well.

Rias and the others were shocked by this.

Sirzechs decided to make an interesting note. "A battle of starters. Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y. One will stand and one will fall. Who is the superior one?"

Ravel, Issei and their Charizards glare at each other.

The referee saw this and said "Begin!" As soon as he did, the two started to fire their respective flamethrowers. Orange clashed with blue and exploded as a result.

The two cleared out from the smoke and began to clash with their claws, feet, and tails. Truly a battle of dragons was what they were seeing before their eyes.

Vali wanted one so he could train it, become stronger, and fight even more powerful people. "Hey Albion was this like your fight with Ddraig?"

"Indeed partner. When we knew our powers couldn't decide who was stronger, we settled with our claws, fangs, and strength alone to fight."

Ravel and Issei continued to watch the fight because they knew they wouldn't listen to them since they wished to fight of their own free will without orders. They complied with their rivalry and continued to watch the clash until Charizard X used Dragon Tail to knock Charizard Y down to the ground.

Charizard X and Y were covered in cuts and bruises until they flared at each other one more time and used their last trump card: Flare Blitz. The two flew straight towards each other and the arena was covered in smoke again until it cleared to reveal both Charizards were standing looking at each other.

They turned back to their original forms and did a fist bump until they leaned forward and fainted on the other. Everyone was shocked by this until they saw the referee declare the match.

"This is a double knockout." Everyone cheered for the two dragons and walked to their respective dragons and returned them.

"Amazing! Truly Incredible! A clash of titans was shown before our eyes! Y vs X! In the end, they proved they were truly powerful and their rivalry burns hotter than any fire!"

The spokesman cleared his voice before saying. "Since Miss Ravel lost her first three Pokémon. We'll be taking a short 10 minute break to clear the area and have a special surprise for the next round! So stay tuned!"

Issei and Ravel went to their respective sides and began to tend to their injured Pokémon. Their sides came to them and cheered them on. There was even a section for the children of the Underworld. Sirzechs believed this was something the children could truly enjoy and he was right on the mark.

The children were happy to see their idol and play with the Pokémon for a short while until they had to head back to their section. Issei was more than happy to pay for drinks and snacks since the currency here was insane and the fact that yen doesn't work there. Sirzechs thought maybe the Underworld could finally pay off their debt if they were to convert Pokecoins to actual money.

The arena definitely looked different as it was much bigger than last time and the stands moved away from the arena.

"This arena is special because it allows trainer and Pokémon to clash. So if they want to join the battle, the trainers can fight to their hearts content as well."

Issei was shocked. "Wait so we can fight with our Pokémon but we can only use two since we would join the battle that would mean we count as one as well correct?"

The spokesman nodded. "Your correct so what do you say? You both interested?" Issei looked at Ravel and saw that she wanted to fight him and show how strong she's become and vice versa.

They nodded and Issei looked at the referee. "We accept." He pulled out two Pokeballs. "And I know just who to call out. Let's go Urshifu(One Rapid Strike)! You too, Zygarde!"

The martial artist and The Cell Pokémon were ready to fight while Ravel called The Galarian Moltres and her loyal bodyguard. "Ready Buzzwole?" He nodded and bowed to his master.

The two trainers and their Pokémon were ready to fight. The referee was nervous and said "Begin!" He got off the stand quickly.

Issei looked at his Pokémon. "Urshifu, deal with Buzzwole! Zygarde, try to beat Moltres. Let me know when you want to use that 'form,' okay?" Zygarde was ready to fight and use Dragon Breath on Moltres. The Malevolent Pokémon swooped down to fight the Cell Pokémon.

While Buzzwole and Urshifu were fighting with their respective fighting styles. Buzzwole fought with power and brute strength, Urshifu's One Rapid Strike Form focuses on defense and stamina.

Issei and Ravel ran to each other and had a punch ready for them. They punched each other and sent the other back a few feet. Issei smirked and spit some blood. "Care time dance, Ravel?"

Ravel spit a tooth that broke from the punch but her regeneration fixed it. "I thought you'd never ask." She summoned her iron skin and prepped her upgraded ultimate form that she received from the Galarian Legendary Birds and Heatran. Her eyes became dark violet and her wings grew two more pairs of wings with each of them being the same rainbow color. Her attire changed to that of a fiery dress meant for a queen of fire. She flew to Issei with a fiery trail behind her while Issei summoned his normal Balance Breaker.

He grabbed a stone and inserted it into the gem. Rainbow colors flowed into the Boosted Gear and Issei was covered in a bright light.

"Now Go Beyond the Limit. ULTIMATE BREAK!" Issei's balance breaker evolved into a newer armor.

His size grew to that of a normal dragon. (If you need a better description, search Odd Eyes Raging Dragon.)

Everyone was surprised to see the trainers undergo powerful transformations and their respective Pokémon smiled at seeing their masters true power.

Issei roared as he prepared a Max Flare but Ravel fires a Max Airstream and scores a direct hit on Issei. He recovered and flew into the sky. Ravel followed him and the two began to clash in the skies above.

Zygarde has enough of this foolishness and called forth all of his remaining cells to aid him in the battle before him.

He flowed green and grew into his ultimate form. [Zygarde. 100% Ultimate Form!]

He roared and fired Thousand Arrows into the sky. The arrows rained down at Moltres who tried dodging them since she had the air as her advantage.

Moltres decided to end the fight with Zygarde. She charged up all of her strength for her ultimate attack: Fiery Wrath.

Zygarde saw this and charged one of his signature moves: Core Enforcer. The chest glowed with all of the power his cells had within them. The energy began to condense into an orb.

Moltres was covered in her fire and flew straight to Zygarde! Zygarde finished charging and fired at Moltres but he was too slow and when the beam fired it hit Moltres as well.

BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!

Everyone covered their eyes and sadly Buzzwole and Urshifu were caught in the blast as well.

Issei and Ravel stopped fighting. They flew down to their team and saw them fainted. Urshifu and Buzzwole were leaning on each other and gave their master a thumbs up.

The referee and made the announcement. "Both Zygarde and Moltres are unable to battle."

Issei and Ravel returned them before they went to their Pokémon and Issei used his Grass type Balance Breaker and healed him. Ravel used her healing fire to help with Buzzwole's wounds.

Buzzwole got up and looked at his master and held out his fist. Ravel saw this and knew what he meant.

She turns to see Urshifu and Issei, with his fighting type Balance Breaker, out and ready to rumble.

Ravel readied her steel body. Buzzwole used Bulk Up to push his stats to the limits. Ravel readied herself by coating her steel hands in fire. Issei was readying the Art of Darkness while Urshifu was readying the Art of Water.

Everyone was on the edge of their seat while Rias was biting her finger while Riser was squeezing Yubelluna really hard.

They tensed their muscles.

And shot to each other.

"Joint Attack: Art of Dark Water!"

"Joint Attack: Phoenix Finish!"

They clashed and appeared on the other side of each other.

Everyone's hearts were racing.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

THUMP!

Ravel fell forward but Buzzwole caught her. Buzzwole gave the two a nod in thanks before he collapsed from exhaustion.

Issei and Urshifu were worn out but happy. They did a fist punch in the air.

Everyone was shocked. Then they cheered loud!

YEAH! WOOHOO! ISSEI! RAVEL!

The announcer was crying. "Through all my years of watching Pokémon battle and commenting on them. I've never seen a fight like this before in my life. The fire of passion, their warrior spirit, the unwavering determination! They truly are worthy trainers. Let the winner hear you all! The winner is Issei Hyoudou!"

Issei and Urshifu smiled. They looked at Ravel and Buzzwole and picked them up and then carried them to their section to rest.

Arceus sent him a mental note. 'About that favor you asked? It shall be granted. I expect to see a great region in your world.'

Issei nodded to her. "I'm sure you'll love it."

Issei's Pokémon gathered around him and cheered with their trainer. This journey may have ended but the fun is just getting started.

He just needed to make a quick trip home, tell his team and his girls the news that Arceus had for them.

This was truly a crazy but wonderful journey.

Epilogue. Three months later.

Issei was now in his mansion with a much bigger bed and surrounding him were his girls from the Pokémon world and his original harem, along with surprisingly Rossweisse.

The harem he made in the Pokémon world accepted Rossweisse but had their suspicions about Issei's old harem so after getting to know them after three months. The gym leaders and the others accepted Rias and the girls but only if they truly loved Issei. Needless to say, Issei didn't leave his room for three nights. When he came out, he was drained but happy while the girls were blushing like they were caught doing something naughty.

After returning from the Pokémon world, Arceus gave Issei, Ravel, and Gasper permission to take their Pokémon with them back to their world. Issei also received special permission to give Pokémon to others in his world but only if they pass a test.

He set up a meeting with the fellow faction leaders and devised a plan that would allow Pokémon to be in the supernatural world but safe from those who would harm them.

Rias and the group really wanted to try caring for Pokémon so after they passed the test, each of them got their own Pokémon to start with. Issei's, Ravels, and Gaspers Pokemon enjoyed the large open space. Going to Kuoh City and seeing the sights also Kuoh Academy where some girls thought the school was attacked by a ghost.

Issei got up and went to the balcony. He saw the sun rise up and a few Pidgey fly into the sky.

"Liking the view?" He turns to see Ravel in her nightgown and sit next to Issei. She leaned her head on his shoulder. She smiled and Issei rubbed her hair. "The view just got better."

The two continued to watch the sun rise as the beginning of a new day.

Issei had one thought in mind. 'When Khaos Brigade is defeated then I want to do two things. One: open my own gym. And two...'

He looked at his beautiful Ravel and thought of the other women in his life and finished his thought. 'Propose and marry them. Show them how much I love them.'

Yep, it's another day in Kuoh City.

End

Done. I might make a sequel to this but it's unsure yet. So let me know what you think of it.
