Chapter 47: Battle on the board – Ash vs Radomus
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon and i didn't make Pokemon Reborn
Ash and Victoria are lying in bed together naked with Victoria lying on top of her lover.
Ash's eyes slowly opened, where he saw Victoria lying on his chest, probably from moving in her sleep, with his manhood still in her womanhood and blushed slightly as he remembered what they did last night.
Victoria slowly opened her eyes, looked up, saw Ash and smiled, "Morning Ashy."
Ash's blush died down, smiled and kissed her forehead, "Morning Vicky."
Victoria smiled, "Now that you've taken my innocence's you have to come back." Victoria told Ash making him nod in response.
"Don't worry, I will. And once this is over, I'll introduce you to my mom." Ash replied making Victoria nod in response.
Ash pulled out of Victoria making her whimper a bit, they went to the bathroom after Ash gave Victoria a quick smack on the ass making her yelp in surprise. They had a shower together, got changed with Ame giving Ash his old cloths he had before they got ruined by Garchomp and ate breakfast before Ash was ready to go.
Ash re-caught Greninja after letting his Kalos Team reunite and caught Squishy, while Z2 would stay in the city and protect it.
Ash was outside of the Grand Gate, with Victoria hugging him, "I promise I'll come back soon." Ash told Victoria making her nod and broke the embrace.
"Just be careful." Ash nodded in response.
Ash saw Ame walking up to them, "Cain already went on ahead to the gym, you should be able to meet him there." Ame told Ash making him nod in response.
Ash release Rapidash who now has a fire-proof reins courtesy of Ame, Ash mounted her and flicked the reins, "Let's go." Ash ordered as Rapidash took off.
Once he was out of sight Victoria turned her head down, to her ring and rubbed her fingers against the black diamonds.
Ame saw this and smiled, "You know he'll come back right?" Ame asked making Victoria nod in response.
"I know he will."
After about an hour of riding, Ash came across the castle, Ash pulled the reins towards the castle making Rapidash run in that direction.
After running through the maze, they were outside of the castle with Cain outside leaning against a wall.
"Hey, Ashy." Cain greeted as Ash dismounted and returned Rapidash.
"Hey Cain." Ash greeted back.
"So, you're ready?" Ash and Pikachu gave a single nod in response.
They walked inside, past the first room, into the main room, where they saw Radomus, Gardevoir and Luna waiting for them.
Radomus was not wearing his officer outfit anymore. He is now wearing what appears to be a magician's outfit, with marron long-sleeve suit and jeans. He is wearing a black over-suit with no sleeves with marron buttons, he is also wearing black sneakers, he is also wearing a marron top hat, with a yellow sign that has 3-over-4 and with a very dark pink almost purple ribbon that is tied around the hat and flows down to his shoulders. He is also holding a cane that has a Poke Ball on the top.
Ash stopped and took a good look at Radomus and saw his black hair, "He remains me of someone." Ash thought to himself.
"Greetings Ash, I'm happy that you're back." Radomus greeted Ash.
Ash snapped out of his train of thought and smirked, "Thanks Radomus, sorry about the delayed battle." Ash apologized.
"Don't be, people are free to do what they want, when they want and however, they want. That being said however, I heard what happened to Kiki. Arceus rest her soul." Radomus explained before praying slightly making Ash flashback to how Victoria was when her master died in front of her.
"But moving from this gloom and doom. I'm looking forward to our battle. Normally you would have to complete my Gym Puzzle, but due to our recent events I'll let you battle me right now." Radomus explained making Ash surprised.
"Thank you Radomus." Ash thanked.
Radomus nodded, "Gardevoir and Luna why don't you two go on ahead. I need to discuss something with these two." Radomus told the pair making them nod and walked away.
Once they were gone Radomus turned to the pair, "So what is it that you want to talk to us about?" Cain asked.
"You see, since we capture El, I managed to get this back from him." Radomus answered before he held up the Amethyst Pendent by the chain.
Ash, Pikachu, and Cain's eyes widen in shock, "The Amethyst Pendent!" Ash shouted.
"Indeed, and my question to you is, how did you come across such an item?" Radomus asked almost desperate.
Ash noticed the desperation in Radomus's voice, "Why would he care? Wait . . ." Ash took another good look at Radomus making his eyes widen even more, ". . . Could he be?!" Ash thought to himself.
"It belonged to a friend of ours and she'll be wanting it back." Cain answered.
Radomus stared at them for a bit until he nodded in response, "Ah yes, friendship is such a precious thing to lose . . . believe me." Radomus replied with sadness at the end.
". . . But to my understanding, this item is being tracked down by this Team Meteor, so it's with my greatest regrets, I must refuse to hand it over." Radomus explained shocking Cain while Ash narrowed his eyes, "Please for just this once, allow me to have your faith. I will keep this item safe and no one will find it and you will not find your trust abused." Radomus continued.
Cain was about to protest, but Ash stopped him by placing his right hand on his left shoulder making the former to his friend, "As long as you keep it safe, I really don't care." Ash replied shocking Cain but Radomus nodded in response and withdrew the pendent.
"You have my word. Now on to the battle, all the doors will be opened to the final room. Cain you can join Luna in the viewer stands." Radomus explained before turned and walking away.
Once he was gone, Ash withdrew his hand away from Cain my Cain turn to him, "Why did you stop me?! That pendent belongs to Anna!" Cain demanded to know.
Ash and Pikachu narrowed their eyes at him, "I know! It's because it belongs to her that didn't want to give to her!" Ash snapped at him confusing him.
"What do you mean?" Cain asked.
Ash stared at him for a bit, took a deep breath and sighed loudly, "If Anna has the pendent, then Team Meteor will go after her again." Ash answered.
Cain's eyes wide opened in realization, "Team Meteor are after all four Key's, Saphira was going to return it to Anna, but she realized that if she has it Team Meteor will go after her again, it why she gave it to me. And since Radomus now has it, I believe it will be safer with him." Ash explained making Cain nod now understanding.
"I'm sorry Ash. I shouldn't have snapped at you." Cain apologized.
Ash smiled, "Don't worry about it. Now let's go." Ash replied as he and Cain walked to the final room and up some stairs where they saw the battlefield.
Cain saw Luna up in the stand and went to join her while Radomus and Gardevoir are standing on end of a balcony. Ash walked up to the end of his side and saw that there are statues that are taller than him on both sides of the field.
Radomus has black statues, while Ash has white statues. They are eight Pawniard statues at the front, two Golett statues, two Escavalier statues next to Golett, Bisharp Statues next to Escavalier, a Braixen Statue on the left and a Delphox Statue on the right.
"What are those?" Ash asked.
Radomus smirked, "You see, I was a chest champion, and I believe a Pokemon battle and a Chest Battle are very similar in terms of strategy. So, all challengers should know what it's like to be a Chest player." Radomus explained making Ash nod in response.
"And now my new butler will explain the rules." Radomus added on as he turned to his right making Ash turn to his left and saw a man walking to the edge.
Ash, Cain and Pikachu's eyes wide open in shock by who they saw while Luna was uncomfortable by who it is, "Greetings, my name is Elias and I am the butler for Master Radomus." Elias greeted with a bow. The thing that shocked the two trainers was that the man looks exactly the same as El.
"B-but that's!?" Ash shouted as he turned to Radomus who winked at and put his index finger in front of his telling him to 'be quite'.
"Right Elias please explain the rules." Radomus told Elias making him nod.
"Very well Mater Radomus. This battle between Ash the challenger and Master Radomus will now begin, each side will six Pokemon and the battle will be over when all Pokemon on one side are unable to continue, furthermore this will be a Double Battle. Begin!" Elias explained before shouting.
"I feel the excitement that will happen. Reuniclus and Gallade on the board!" Radomus shouted as he tossed two Poke Ball releasing the two Psychic Pokemon as Gallade appeared on top of the Bisharp statue and Reuniclus appeared hovering above the Escavalier statue.
Ash narrowed his eyes, looked down at the board for a bit, before turning back to his opponents and took out two Poke Ball, "Alright, Snivy and Weavile I choose you!" Ash shouted as Snivy and Weavile appeared in front of the pieces with sparkle around Weavile.
"Let us begin! Gallade use Psycho Cut on Snivy and Reuniclus use Focus Blast on Weavile!"
Gallade reared his right hand back as it became surrounded by a pink light, he swung it forward releasing a pink-crescent energy blade that flew towards Snivy. Reuniclus brought his hands next to each other, created a blue energy sphere, swung them outwards firing the sphere that flew towards Weavile.
"Weavile use Night Slash and Snivy use Leaf Storm!"
Snivy leaped into the air, started spinning around creating green energy leaves, before she launched them at the incoming attack. Weavile created a purple energy blade in his right hand.
Psycho Cut and Leaf Storm slammed into each other and created an explosion. Weavile swung his Night Slash to the right, slicing the Focus Blast in half before it exploded behind him.
"Weavile use Night Slash on Reuniclus!"
Weavile dashed towards Reuniclus with his Night Slash still in effect, he leaped towards him, spun around and was about slash Reuniclus. But Gallade appeared in front of Reuniclus, took the slash making him grunt in pain.
Ash, Cain and his Pokemon were surprised by this action, but Gallade's body was surrounded by a red aura.
Ash recognized this as he remembered Kiki's Gallade did the same thing after he was hit by a Dark Type move, "Snivy use Leaf Blade!"
Snivy ran towards Weavile as her tail glowed green. Snivy leaped forwards, Weavile turned around, placed his claws together, allowing Snivy to step on them, Weavile spun around and threw Snivy towards their opponents.
"Gallade use Night Slash!"
Gallade's right arm glowed purple as he swung it while Snivy swung her tail, both slamming into each other, creating shockwaves before an explosion happened.
Both Snivy and Gallade were flung form the smoke, Gallade landed on top of the right Bisharp piece while Snivy landed on one of the Pawniard pieces.
"Gallade use Night Slash again!"
Gallade leaped towards Snivy with his right arm still surrounded by a purple light.
"Snivy Attract!"
Snivy winked as pink energy hearts appeared around her and flew towards Gallade.
Gallade saw the pink hearts stopped as they circled around him, before they went into his body and Gallade fell in love with Snivy.
"Hmmm, interesting." Radomus explained with a calculated look.
"Weavile use Shadow Claw on Gallade!"
Weavile turned to Gallade, his claws became surrounded by a black aura with a purple lining around them and leaped towards Gallade.
Radomus didn't order anything as Weavile slashed Gallade in a 'X' pattern lifting Gallade in the air, but he continue to be infatuated by Snivy's Attract.
"Snivy use Leaf Strom!"
Snivy leaped in the air started spinning around as she created green energy leaves around her, before she launched them at Gallade.
Weavile leaped out of the way, before the leaves slammed into Gallade, sending him flying, smashed into two Pawniard's the right Bisharp statues, smashing them into pieces.
When the dust settled it revealed Gallade leaning up against the broken statue and unconscious.
"Gallade is unable to battle." Elias declared.
Radomus returned Gallade, before taking out another Poke Ball, "Slowking on the board!" Radomus shouted as one of the final evolutions of Slowpoke appeared on top of the right Golett statues.
Ash narrowed his eyes by Radomus's choice, "He chose a Pokemon that is slowly then Weavile and Snivy. Why?" Ash thought to himself.
Radomus smirked, "Reuniclus Trick Room!"
Ash gasped as Reuniclus's eyes glowed blue as a light blue rectangle box appeared around the field, before closing off at the top trapping Ash, Radomus and their Pokemon inside.
Ash, Snivy and Weavile looked around at the while Cain is leaning against the rail with Luna next to him, "This isn't good. Now Ash is at a massive disadvantage." Cain thought to himself.
Ash turned back to Radomus and narrowed his eyes, "This was his plan from the start. He wanted to know who I'll be using first up so he can use Trick Room. Because Reuniclus and Slowking have the worst Speed out of their status." Ash thought to himself.
"If you're not going to move, then I'll have to move again. Reuniclus use Focus Blast on Weavile and Slowking use Ice Beam on Snivy!"
Reuniclus brought his hands next to each other and created a blue energy sphere, while Slowking opened his mouth and created a light blue energy sphere in front of it.
"Dodge them!"
Weavile as well as Snivy were about to jump away, until Reuniclus and Slowking suddenly launched their attacks much faster than normal. The Blue energy sphere slammed into Weavile making him yell in pain, while the beam energy beam slammed into Snivy making her scream in pain.
Weavile was sent flying, smashed through two Pawniard pieces, one right Escavalier piece and slammed into the wall. Snivy only got slammed into one Pawniard piece.
When the dust settled it revealed Weavile lying in a crater, while Snivy is leaning against the broke Pawniard and both are unconscious.
"Weavile and Snivy are both unable to battle. Challenge Ash send out your next Pokemon." Elias declared.
"Thanks, you two get a good rest." Ash returned Weavile and Snivy, before taking out two new Poke Ball's, "Torterra and Scorbunny I choose you!" Ash tossed two Pokemon as Torterra appeared in front of all of the white statues while Scorbunny appeared on top of a Pawniard Statues that in front of the right Golett.
Radomus stared at Ash's choices for a moment, before smirking at them, "Interesting, let's see what your new strategy will be." Radomus told Ash.
Ash smirked, "You'll see." Ash replied making Radomus smirk even more.
Cain and Luna are watching the battle, "What do you think Ash has in mind?" Luna asked Cain.
The asked merely shrugged his shoulders, "No idea, I mean Scorbunny doesn't seem like his had that much expercince." Cain answered.
"Well then, Let's see how you'll deal with this. Reuniclus use Focus Blast on Scorbunny and Slowking use Ice Beam on Torterra!"
Reuniclus launched a blue sphere form his hands that flew towards Scorbunny, while Slowking fired a light blue beam from in front of his mouth that flew towards Torterra.
"Scorbunny use Flame Charge and Torterra use Energy Ball!"
Scorbunny's became surrounded by red and orange fire, leaped off the statue to the left, managing to avoid the Focus Blast, making the attack slam into the statue, before exploding and reducing it to nothing.
Torterra opened his mouth, formed a green energy sphere in front of him, before launching it.
The Ice Beam was very close to Torterra before his Energy Ball collided with the Ice Beam creating an explosion.
When the smoke cleared it revealed Torterra unharmed while Scorbunny is on top of another Pawniard statue that's in front of the Delphox.
Radomus narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why would he order Flame Charge? It's only going to make Scorbunny slower." Radomus thought to himself confused.
"Scorbunny run along the Light Screen with Flame Charge!"
Scorbunny leaped off the statue and started running along the Light Screen going clockwise with his body surrounded by red and orange fire.
Everyone were confused but curious about what Ash was up to, but they all saw the mentioned smirking, "Torterra use Earthquake!" Ash shouted making everyone gasp by this.
Torterra raised his front legs in the air, before slamming them on the ground making the ground shake furiously.
Reuniclus and Slowking fell on the ground as the Earthquake continued while Scorbunny kept running along the Light Screen.
The Statues started to crack until they all were scattered into pieces.
Once the shaken had stopped Scorbunny leaped off the wall with his Flame Charge gone and landed on Torterra's right side.
Everyone stared at the field in shock by what happened. Radomus slowly smirked, "Interesting, I must say, in all my years as a Gym Leader here, I've never seen anyone do anything like this before." Radomus explained as Reuniclus as well as Slowking got back up, with Reuniclus floating slightly above the ground and Slowking got back on his feet.
Ash smirked, "You always got to think outside the box. Like this, Scorbunny Flame Charge again!"
Scorbunny bent down, before leaped forward as his body became surrounded by red and orange fire.
But everyone saw that it was much slower than the last two times.
"Scorbunny is only getting slower and slower. Why would Ash even order Scorbunny to do that?" Luna asked.
Cain's eyes widen a bit, "Hold on, I think I know what he's planning." Cain declared making Luna turn to him.
"Slowking use Scald!"
"Torterra use Leaf Storm!"
Slowking fired boiling water from his mouth at Scorbunny, while the leaves on the tree on Torterra's back glowed green, before firing a cyclone with leaves.
The Leaf Storm was faster than Scorbunny, so it and the Scald slammed into each other sending the leaves and water everywhere.
Scorbunny slammed his head into Reuniclus's face sending him back but regain balance and narrowed his eyes at his opponents.
"Slowking use Ice Beam and Reuniclus use Focus Blast!"
Slowking and Reuniclus started to charge their attacks, until suddenly the Light Screen, started to vanish until it was gone.
Ash smirked, "Scorbunny use Mega Kick!"
Scorbunny smirked, before he vanished, but reappeared behind Slowking, slammed his right foot on his back sending him front first and crashed on the ground.
When Scorbunny landed, he vanished again, only to reappear on the side of Reuniclus, slammed his left foot into Reuniclus's side sending him flying and crashed next to Slowking.
Everyone are shocked by what happened, while Ash's smirk grew even more.
"Torterra Frenzy Plant!"
Torterra's body became surrounded by a green lining, raised his front legs in the air, before slamming them down, making giant roots shot up from the ground, before they headed towards Reuniclus and Slowking.
The roots slammed into the pair and created an explosion with green shockwaves coming from it, making Cain, Luna and Gardevoir turn away, but not Ash, Pikachu, Radomus and Elias.
When the explosion was over the three turned back and when the smoke died down it revealed Reuniclus lying on his back while Slowking is lying on his stomach, but they are both unconscious.
"Reuniclus and Slowking are both unable to battle. Master Radomus please send out your next two Pokemon." Elias declared.
Radomus returned his two Pokemon before turning to Ash and smirked, "destroying all of the statues in one go and in addition to that, you had Scorbunny constantly using Flame Charge to increase his speed. So, when the Light Screen would vanish Scorbunny would be able to move fast enough to distract Reuniclus and Slowking, which allowed Torterra to move in with the K.O." Radomus explained making Ash nod in response.
"It was risky, but you gotta do what you gotta do." Ash replied as Torterra and Scorbunny nodded, before Scorbunny became surrounded by a blue aura.
Everyone gasped in surprised by this as Scorbunny started to grow.
Soon the blue aura shattered showing Scorbunny's new form. It now has greyish ears that are flopped down, red eyes, his upper body is now a red fur that goes over his mouth like a collar, with his hands are half red at the bottom with his fingers the same colour as his ears. He also has a patch of yellow across his forehead that made it so he's wearing a bandanna, his lower body is a black fur with a tuft at the center that made it look like he's wearing a turtleneck sweatshirt. His feet half black with his toes half red.
Once everyone saw this Ash smiled happily, "You evolved!" Ash shouted making him turn and nodded his head at his trainer.
Ash took out his Pokedex and scanned him. "Raboot. The Rabbit Pokemon and the evolved form of Scorbunny. Raboot's fur allows it to protect him from the cold and make their Fire moves hotter. Thy juggle either berries or pebbles to practice they footwork for when they evolve into their final form." The Pokedex explained.
Ash put away his Poke Dex, before turning to Raboot, "That's awesome Raboot!" Ash shouted making Raboot nod his head, before turning back to Radomus with his hand in the tuft.
Radomus smiled, before he closed his eyes, "It's great to see how strong bonds are between human and Pokemon, even now. So, lets continue to test those bonds! Metagross and Malamar on the board!" Radomus shouted as the Hoenn Steel and Psychic appeared on the ground, while the Kalos Psychic and Dark type appeared on the right side of the Hoenn Pseudo-legendary.
"A Metagross and a Malamar." Ash thought to himself, before turning to Raboot and Torterra?" Ash asked gaining a bod from both.
"Raboot use Flame Charge!"
Raboot withdrew his hands from his tuft, dashing towards Metagross with his body surrounded by red and orange fire.
"Malamar use Reflect!"
Malamar's eyes glowed blue as a light blue forcefield appeared around them.
Raboot leaped towards Metagross, slammed his right foot against the forcefield creating shockwaves, but Raboot was repelled and sent back.
"In that case Torterra use Leaf Storm!"
When Raboot landed next to Torterra, the latter fired a cyclone of leaves form the tree on his back that flew towards Malamar.
"Psycho Cut!"
Malamar crossed her arms over her shoulders, as the scythe-like fins glowed pink, before she swung them in a 'X' formation sending pink energy crescent forward.
The two attacks collided with each other and created an explosion at the centre.
"Now use Psychic!"
Malamar's eyes glowed blue as Raboot's body is surrounded by a blue lining, before he was lifted into the air and pulled towards Metagross.
"Raboot!" Ash shouted in concern.
"Metagross use Zen-Headbutt!"
Metagross's face glowed pink and reared his head back slightly.
When Raboot came in front of Metagross, the Hoenn Pseudo-legendary swung its head forwards slamming into Raboot but he was held in place due to Psychic.
"Malamar release the little fella and Metagross use Meteor Mash!"
Malamar released her hold on Raboot allowing him to fall on the ground. But Metagross raised its right claw glowed white, before slamming it into Raboot's stomach sending him flying.
"Raboot!" Ash shouted in concern as Raboot crashed into the ground that is right below Ash.
Ash leaned over the rails to see Raboot is lying on his back unconscious.
"Raboot is unable to battle." Elias declared.
"Thanks, Raboot, take a good rest." Ash returned Raboot before taking out his fifth Poke Ball, "Bisharp I choose you!" Ash shouted as Bisharp appeared kneeling before raising to his feet.
"Another Dark Type. It seems you came well prepared to deal with my Psychic Types." Radomus explained.
"But Master with me being part Fairy. I'll crush anyone who stands in my way~" Gardevoir taunted in singsong.
"Let's go Bisharp use Iron Head on Malamar!"
Bisharp dashed towards with the blade on his head glowing silver.
The blue forcefield appeared in front of them again, as Bisharp slammed his head into forcefield creating shockwaves.
Radomus narrowed his eyes, before he turned to Ash and saw him smirking.
"Thunder Wave!"
Bisharp raised his left hand at Malamar, before releasing yellow rings of electricity.
The rings pasted through the forcefield colliding with Malamar grunt in pain as yellow sparks appeared around her body.
"Cleaver. He knew Iron Head wouldn't do that much damage, so he choose to get in close and hit Malamar with a Thunder Wave point-blank." Radomus thought to himself.
"Torterra use Stone Edge!"
Torterra raised his front legs in the air, before slamming them on the ground making blue energy boulders shoot up from the ground and headed towards Malamar.
Bisharp jumped to the right so that the boulders wouldn't hit him.
"Meteor Mash!"
Metagross raised its right claw as it glowed white, before swinging it against the boulders smashing them into pieces.
"Now use Agility!"
Metagross lowered its claw as its body glowed white before it vanished but reappeared behind Torterra.
"Torterra behind you!" Ash shouted as Torterra turned around.
"Zen-Headbutt!" Metagross slammed his head into Torterra sending him slide across the ground but stopped a few feet away.
"Now use Meteor Mash!"
"Bisharp intercept Metagross with Night Slash!"
Bisharp turned to Malamar before running towards it with the blades on each arms glowed purple and grew.
Metagross raised its right claw as it glowed white before swinging it forward.
Bisharp swung his right blade into Metagross's claw creating purple and white shockwaves that flew throughout the field.
Radomus smirked, "Metagross use Hammer Arm!"
Metagross's left claw glowed brown before he lifted it slamming it into Bisharp's chest sending him flying and towards Malamar.
"Bisharp!" Ash shouted.
"Malamar use Superpower!"
Malamar shook her head a few times, before turning to the incoming Bisharp as the tentacles glowed brown and raised them in the air.
"Torterra Leaf Storm!"
"Metagross Meteor Mash!"
Torterra fired a cyclone of leaves from the tree on his back that flew towards Malamar, while Metagross vanished.
When Malamar swung her tentacles on Bisharp she slammed the latter into the ground. But the Leaf Storm slammed into Malamar sending her crashing into a wall. Metagross reappeared in front of Torterra with its right claw in the air, before slamming it on Torterra's forehead creating an explosion.
"Bisharp! Torterra!" Ash shouted in concern.
When the smoke died down it revealed Metagross looking at Torterra who is lying on the ground unconscious, along with Bisharp, while Malamar is leaning against the wall, with the last three mentioned all unconscious.
"Bisharp, Torterra and Malamar are unable to battle, Master Radomus and Ash send out your final Pokemon.
Ash and Radomus returned their Pokemon, "Pika, pika, Pikachu?" Pikachu asked in concern.
Ash turned to Pikachu and smirked, "Don't worry Pikachu, our winning Pokemon is right here." Ash reassured as he held his final Poke Ball before turning back to Radomus, "Greninja I choose you!" Ash shouted as Greninja appeared before crossing his arms with his eyes opened as the forcefield appeared on Radomus's side shattered into nothing.
Cain was a bit surprised, while Luna is very surprised, "I never knew Ash had a Greninja." Cain said curious.
But in of the corner of his eyes he saw Luna is staring at Greninja with wide eyes in shock making Cain turn his head to her, "What's wrong with you?" Cain asked.
Luna continued to stare at Greninja, "T-that Greninja, I-I feel incredible power f-from it." Luna answered not looking at him.
Cain raised an eyebrow confused before turning back to the battle.
Radomus's expression changed to a slightly serious one, "You've seen Greninja before haven't you Gardevoir?" Radomus asked.
Gardevoir nodded in response also serious, "Yes master, I have." Gardevoir answered.
"Then we're going to have to take this a bit more seriously." Radomus explained making Gardevoir nod in response again, "Well then Gardevoir on the board!" Radomus shouted as Gardevoir vanished form where she was but reappeared next to Metagross who made its way back to its side of the field.
When Gardevoir reappeared she smirked, before she spun around a few times before bowing in front of her opponents, "Now you must face the me. Gossip Gardevoir, Master's most trusted partner." Gardevoir explained.
Luna smiled when she saw her best friend ready for battle, "Good luck Gardevoir!" Luna cheered making Gardevoir turn to her, smiled and waved at her.
"Thanks, dear!" Gardevoir shouted before turning back to Ash and Greninja.
"Gardevoir use Moonblast!"
Gardevoir brought her hands next to each other, created a pink energy sphere, before swinging her arms outwards launching it towards Greninja.
"Greninja Aerial Ace and then use Night Slash!"
Greninja's feet glowed light blue before he dashed towards his opponents.
When Greninja was close to the Moonblast, he leaped towards it, spun around, slammed his right heel into it, sending it crashing into the wall surprising everyone.
When Greninja landed he continued to run towards his opponents, when he was in front of Gardevoir, he swung his left foot towards her head, but Gardevoir blocked it with her arms, but she was still pushed away, slid across the ground before stopping in front of the wall.
Greninja dashed towards Metagross as he created a purple energy blade in his right hand.
He dashed past Metagross looking like he never slashed Metagross with Greninja kneeling on his right knee.
But Greninja slowly sheathed the blade once it was done an explosion engulfed Metagross making it yell in pain surprising everyone again while Greninja leaped back in front of Ash.
Once the smoke died down it revealed Metagross lying on the ground unconscious.
"Metagross is unable to battle." Elias declared.
Cain and Luna were surprised by how fast Greninja defeated Metagross, "Well that was fast." Cain said surprised.
Radomus returned Metagross, then turned to Ash and smirked, "I must say being able to battle your Greninja is quite the honor." Radomus told Ash making him smile.
"Thanks, Radomus." Ash replied.
"Gren." Greninja said as well.
Radomus held out his cane, "Which is why I won't hold back." Radomus said as he pressed a button on the cane as the top opened, much to everyone's surprised and gasped when it revealed a Key Stone.
"That's a!" Ash shouted.
"Pika!"
"Gren!"
Pikachu and Greninja shouted at the same time. Gardevoir revealed a necklace that was hidden with a Mega Stone as the gem.
Radomus tapped the stone as it began emitting light, "Through grace, power and beauty! Key Stone response to our emotions! Unlock your hidden power! Mega Evolve!" Radomus shouted as four rays of yellow light burst out of the Key Stone.
"Let's GOOOOOO!" Gardevoir screamed as four blue rays of light burst from her Mega Stone.
The fours rays of light connected with each other, when they did, they changed into white, before Gardevoir was surrounded by marron and yellow aura that morphed her body.
Soon the aura shattered revealing Mega Gardevoir with the Mega Evolution crest in front of her body before it vanished.
Cain and Luna were surprised but for different reasons, "I never knew he can Mega Evolve." Cain said in shock.
"But . . . why?" Luna asked softly, but Cain heard and turned to Luna.
"Why what?" Cain asked.
Luna kept staring at her friend, "Father almost never Mega Evolves Gardevoir in Gym Battles. So . . . why is he?" Luna asked making Cain turn back to the field, before turning to Ash and saw him smirking.
Ash was smirking because he is about to go up against Mega Gardevoir. It reminded him of when he was battling Diantha's Mega Gardevoir.
"It's been a while since we battled a Mega Evolved Pokemon, hasn't it?" Ash asked with Greninja responded by a single nod, "Then let's show them what we're made of." Ash continued before he placed his right fist on his chest as Greninja placed his left fist.
Cain and Luna saw this and were confused, but it turned shock when they saw Greninja surrounded by veil of water.
Greninja head morphed before the water shattered as it became a giant water shuriken on his back. (Now with a design that looks like Vero)
Cain, Luna and Elias were shocked by this, "OOkkk. I never seen a Greninja do that before." Cain said in shock.
"This must've been what I felt." Luna whispered to herself.
Radomus lowered his head slightly, but smiled in excitement, "This will be one of our greatest battles. Let's give it everything we've got." Radomus admitted with Gardevoir nodding in agreement.
Ash's smirk grew, "Well then, let's not waste time. Greninja Night Slash!"
Greninja and Ash crossed their arms while Greninja two purple energy blades in them, before swinging them out and dashed towards Gardevoir.
Greninja leaped in the air, headed head first towards Gardevoir.
"Reflect!"
Gardevoir raised her arms towards Greninja, creating a light blue forcefield.
Greninja slammed his blades against the forcefield creating an explosion forcing both Pokemon away.
Greninja landed in where he started, while Gardevoir slid until she was on the edge of the field.
Cain and Luna were shocked by the amount of damage caused by Greninja's attack.
"Even with Reflect, I could feel the power that attack developed." Luna thought to herself shocked out of her mind.
"Greninja Water Shuriken!"
Greninja grabbed the Water Shuriken on his back, before throwing it towards Gardevoir.
"Moonblast!"
Gardevoir brought her hands next to each other, created a pink energy sphere, before flinging her arms out, launching the sphere forward.
The two attacks slammed into each other, creating an explosion at the center of the field.
"Gardevoir Thunder Punch!"
"Yes Master!" Gardevoir shouted as her fists became engulfed in yellow lightning before she zoomed towards Ash's Greninja.
"Aerial Ace!"
Greninja crossed his arms in a lower case 't' formation with the right arm straight while the left arm on the side as both fists glowed white, before he uncrossed them and dashed towards the incoming Gardevoir.
When the pair were right in front of each other, they swung their right fists forward, slamming them against each other creating shockwaves.
Greninja's right foot glowed white, before he slammed top part of his foot into Gardevoir's left leg.
"OWW!" Gardevoir screamed in pain.
Gardevoir swung her left Thunder Punch under Greninja's chin sending him in the air slightly and making him grunt in pain.
Ash's head snapped up making him grunt in pain, before he lowered it, with his right eye slammed shut and rubbed his chin in pain with his right hand.
"Hmm?" Radomus saw Ash's reaction and narrowed his eyes slightly, "He acted like he got hit under the chin." Radomus thought to himself.
"Greninja use Night Slash!"
Greninja snapped his head back to Gardevoir, did a back flip, landed on his feet bending down, before dashing towards Gardevoir with a purple energy blade in his right hand.
"Dodge!"
Greninja slashed where Gardevoir was, but she zoomed to the right avoiding Greninja's strike.
"Don't stop!"
Greninja dashed to where Gardevoir was and was ready to slash her.
"Thunder Punch!"
"On it!" Gardevoir shouted as her right fist became surrounded by yellow lightning.
Greninja swung his energy sword as Gardevoir swung her right fist forward.
The two slammed their attacks into each other, creating purple and yellow shockwaves that flew throughout the field.
"Moonblast!"
Gardevoir raised her right palm as she created a pink energy sphere, before sending it into Greninja chest creating an explosion sending him flying.
Ash gasped as he held his chest in pain and looking down. Ash quickly turned back to the battle.
"Wa – (Cough) Water Shuriken!"
Greninja turned back to Gardevoir, grabbed the shuriken off his back, before throwing it forward.
It slammed into Gardevoir and created an explosion with white smoke.
Gardevoir slid out of the smoke, she stopped when she was started, as she rubbed her head before shaking it a few times before turning back to Greninja, "(Sigh) I should've stuck to my job." Gardevoir complained while rubbing her right arm that has a bruise on it.
"No complaining Gardevoir." Radomus told Gardevoir.
"Sorry master. It's just been a while since I took a hard hit like that before." Gardevoir replied before smirking at Greninja who had landed below Ash who is on his right knee.
Greninja slowly got back on his feet, he and Gardevoir glared at each other.
"Gardevoir use Thunder Punch!"
"Aye, aye master!" Gardevoir shouted as her fists became surrounded by yellow lightning and zoomed towards Greninja.
"Greninja Water Shuriken!"
Greninja grabbed the Water Shuriken off his back, spun it in front of him, before grabbing it, blocking Gardevoir's Thunder Punch.
Greninja parried Gardevoir's Thunder Punch, then responded by swinging his Water Shuriken back, only to for Gardevoir to block it with his right knuckle.
The pair continue to trade blows often getting scrapes by the other.
When Gardevoir swung her right fist Greninja blocked it, then he shifted the Water Shuriken and in one quick motion, he cancelled Gardevoir's Thunder Punch.
"Greninja let us finish this! Water Shuriken!"
Greninja roared as he held the giant Water Shuriken above his head, then Greninja swung his arms outwards, and to everyone's surprise he created two Water Shuriken's.
Greninja swung his arms towards Gardevoir, slamming the Water Shuriken's into her as she screamed in pain and created an explosion with white smoke.
Everyone watched as the smoke died down revealing Greninja looking down at Gardevoir who is lying on her back, back in her normal form and unconscious.
"Gossip Gardevoir is unable to battle. Greninja wins and the victor is Ash the challenger!" Elias declared.
Greninja dropped to his right knee as he reverted back to his normal form with Ash following suit with both panting.
"(Pant) We . . . (Pant) did it." Ash said with a smile with Pikachu and Greninja nodding in response.
Radomus stared at the pair, before lowering his head slightly with his hat covering his eyes, but he gave a small smile.
Radomus lifted his head, "Well played Ash, very well played." Radomus told Ash as Gardevoir slowly woke up and teleported to her master's side.
Gardevoir held her hip with her right hand, "I'm sorry master." Gardevoir apologized with a frown.
Radomus turned his head to her and smiled, "Don't be. We tried our best. I'm proud of you." Radomus replied making Gardevoir smile and nod in response.
Ash slowly stood back up, "Thanks Greninja take a good rest." Ash returned Greninja.
Cain walked over to Ash, "Well, well, well. Nicely done Ashy, but when were you going to tell me you had a powerhouse like that?" Cain asked with a smirk.
Ash smiled slightly, "I'll tell you later." Ash replied before he turned back to Radomus and Gardevoir who are now joined by Luna.
"Well done Ash, you've impressed me with your moves and so as your prize-" Radomus stopped before the top part of the railing on Ash's side opened revealing a triangle shaped Badge, "-the Millennium Badge." Radomus finished.
Ash smiled and took the badge, "Thank you Radomus." Ash thanked the Chest Master.
"Now your next challenge is none other then our dear Luna." Radomus explained as he turned his head to Luna who bowed to Ash.
Ash raised an eyebrow, "Why Luna?" Ash asked.
"Oh, right I forgot. You see our young Luna here is the Dark Gym Leader." Radomus explained surprising Ash, Pikachu and Cain.
"I'm looking forward to our battle. Master Ash." Luna explained with a smile and with a determined tone.
Ash smirked in response, "Likewise." Ash replied with Pikachu smirking as well.
"Well battle on my field which is in Lolia Valley, which is the perfect place for our battle. There you'll face a beautiful and yet dangerous thing . . . darkness." Luna explained before the lights suddenly turned off.
"Uhhh, okay. Was that planed?" Cain asked.
"No, it wasn't." Radomus answered.
"Not that I'm aware." Luna added on.
"There must be a problem with the generator, everyone go outside while me and Gardevoir will see what the problem is." Radomus said as he and Gardevoir walked out.
"The Darkness is where I come from and thus, I shall take my leave as well." Luna said as she walked out.
"We should go to." Ash told Cain.
"Yeah." Cain replied as they walked out of the room carefully.
"I don't like this." Ash thought to himself.
