99. A Knight Fight
Kalos: Castle
Outside of the castle, the heroes arrived.
"Ash, this is the castle of the champion Wikstrom?" Serena asked.
"Yeah, the Kalos champion who is the member of Elite Four." Ash said. "None of the trainers haven't defeated him for the Pokémon World Coronation Series, even now."
"Are you sure you will beat Wikstrom?" Goh asked.
"Yes, of course!" Ash said.
"Let's move, everyone!" Chloe said and the heroes entered the castle.
In the castle, the heroes were exploring but then, they were ambushed by the knights.
"Okay, is this some sort of welcome?" Ben asked.
Then, a knight came in, meeting the heroes.
"Who are you?" The knight asked.
"Are you Wikstrom?" Ash asked.
"Yes, I am. How do you know?" Wikstrom asked.
"Because I learnt about that you're the member of Elite Four and I'm here to challenge you for the Pokémon World Coronation Series!" Ash said.
"Oh, you are the challenger. Come, let's have a battle." Wikstrom said and he led the heroes to the battle arena. The heroes sat on their seats as the audience.
In the battle arena, Ash and Wikstrom were ready to battle.
Then, Rotom Drone flew in and announces "This battle is between Kalos' Elite Four member Wikstrom and trainer Ash Ketchum. This battle will use only 2 Pokémon per battle. Those who win, the rank will go higher. Those who lose, the rank will go last. Ready? Battle start!"
Wikstrom sent out Scizor and Ash sent out Greninja.
"Scizor, use Metal Claw!" Scizor sped towards Greninja with its pincers glowing white.
"Greninja, use Liquidation!" Greninja blocks the attack with his water katana.
"Scizor, use Flash Cannon!" Scizor shoots the metallic beam at Greninja which pushed it back but, he withstood.
"Greninja, are you okay?" Ash asked and Greninja nodded. "Now, use Water Shuriken!"
Greninja threw the five small water shurikens at Scizor.
"Scizor, use Agility to dodge! Then, use Metal Claw!" Scizor flew fast towards Greninja that he dodged the water shurikens and hits Greninja with its metallic claws.
"Greninja, let's show the power of our bond!" Ash and Greninja synced their thoughts which transformed Greninja into Ash-Greninja.
"Let's Mega Evolve, Scizor!" Wikstrom said and he uses his Mega Brace to mega evolve his Scizor into Mega Scizor via Scizornite.
"Greninja, use Double Team!" Ash-Greninja summoned its fake copies to confuse Mega Scizor.
"Scizor, use Double Team!" Mega Scizor also used Double Team and they ran to attack Ash-Greninja and its copies.
"Greninja, use Water Shuriken!" Ash-Greninja jumps in the air then its copies merged with the Water Shuriken before Ash Greninja took it out which became bigger in size and throws the big Water Shuriken at Mega Scizor.
"Scizor, use Flash Cannon!" Mega Scizor's copies went into Mega Scizor's pincers that it fired out the powerful metallic beam at a big Water Shuriken for blocking that caused explosion.
"*groan* That Scizor's strong!" Ash said.
"Scizor, use Agility and Metal Claw!" Mega Scizor flew fast towards Ash-Greninja with its metallic claws.
"Greninja, use Liquidation!" Ash-Greninja charged towards Mega Scizor with its water katana.
The two powered up Pokémon were going to clash each other when Greninja's katana became shadow like and more sharper.
"Look, Greninja did something!" Dawn said.
"He's using Night Slash!" Clemont said.
"Greninja learnt a new move!?" Ben asked.
Ash-Greninja then strikes down Mega Scizor with its Night Slash move.
Mega Scizor fainted as a result of Ash-Greninja's Night Slash attack before reverting back to its original form.
"Scizor is unable to battle! Greninja wins!" Rotom Drone announced.
"Alright! Well done, Greninja!" Ash said. "I see you've learnt Night Slash!"
Ash-Greninja happily nodded before reverting back to its form.
"You're very experienced in the Pokémon battle, Ash. None of the trainers doesn't have the trait of yours." Wikstrom said. "Go, Aegislash!"
Wikstrom sent out Aegislash. Ash recalls Greninja.
"Greninja, take some rest. You've done a great job." Ash said. "Farfetch'd, I choose you!"
Ash sent out Galarian Farfetch'd.
"A Farfetch'd? That's impressive but, I've no time to praise you. Aegislash, use Fury Cutter!" Wikstrom ordered Aegislash to strike Farfetch'd by unsheating its shield.
"Farfetch'd, use Night Slash!" Farfetch'd's leek becomes dark and clashes with Aegislash.
"Ageislash, use Night Shade!" Aegislash's eye shot out a black rays at Farfetch'd pushing him back.
"Farfetch'd use Superpower!" Farfetch'd's leek glow blue and hits Aegislash.
"Aegislash, block!" Ageislash blocked itself with its shield using Stance Change ability.
"Now, use Brutal Swing!" Farfetch'd tried its best to beat Aegislash with its all might but, no avail only to be exhausted.
"Farfetch'd is exhausted!" Clemont said.
"What will Ash do?" Bonnie asked.
"Farfetch'd, are you okay?" Ash asked and Farfetch'd said 'I'm okay'.
"Aegislash, use Fury Cutter!" Farfetch'd was hit by Aegislash's Fury Cutter that it became beaten and it tries to get up.
"Farfetch'd, no!" Ash shouted.
"Now, finish it with Fury Cutter one more time!" Aegislash was about to strike Farfetch'd when the leek glow green and Farfetch'd successfully hits Aegislash three times.
"What did Farfetch'd do?!" Mikstrom asked.
"You learnt Leaf Blade? Awesome!" Ash said.
Suddenly, Farfetch'd gets enveloped with light and it evolved into Sirfetch'd.
"Farfetch'd, wow, I can't believe it you have evolved!" Ash said with excitement.
"Farfetch'd evolved?" Goh asked and he scans Sirfetch'd using Rotom Acellular.
"Sirfetch'd, the Wild Duck Pokémon. A Fighting type and the evolved form of Galarian Farfetch'd. The leek it carries is its most prized possession, having maintained it for many years. Once the leek finally withers, Sirfetch'd will retire from battle for good." Rotom Acellular said.
"Sirfetch'd's cool!" Goh said.
"So, your Farfetch'd has evolved. Anyway, I'm not going to be shocked with that." Wikstrom said. "Aegislash, use Night Shade!"
Aegislash used Night Shade against Sirfetch'd but, it dodged and then Sirfetch'd charges at Aegislash and strikes it with its leek.
"What did Sirfetch'd do? A new move?" Ash asked.
"Sirfetch'd learnt Meteor Assault." Rotom Acellular read.
"Cool, another new move!" Ash said. "Sirfetch'd, use Leaf Blade!"
Sirfetch'd used Leaf Blade against Aegislash but, failed as Aegislash blocked itself with the shield.
"What?!" Ash asked.
"My Aegislash can block any kind of attack." Wikstrom said with pride.
"I must defeat Aegislash but, how?!" Ash thought and he got an idea.
"Aegislash, use Fury Cutter!" Aegislash separated from shield and he is ready to slash Sifetch'd.
"Sirfetch'd, use Meteor Assault on the ground!" Sirfetch'd stabs the ground with force, causing all the rocks to fly and then it hits the rocks at Aegislash and its shield, causing its shield to be buried.
"Now, use Leaf Blade!" Sifetch'd leek sword enveloped with green energy and tries to strike down Aegislash.
"Go back to your shield!" Aegislash goes to cover with shield but, the shield is buried under the rocks, leaving the Royal Sword Pokémon defenseless and got hit by Sirfetch'd's Leaf Blade attack.
Aegislash is fainted by Sirfetch'd's Leaf Blade.
"Aegislash is unable to battle! Sirfetch'd wins! Ash Ketchum is now a winner! He will gain 870th rank." Rotom Drone said.
"Alright, Ash you did it!"Goh said.
"Yeah, fantastic battle!" Ben said.
Wikstrom recalls Aegislash then said "You've battled very well, Aegislash. Take some relaxation."
"Ash, I'm impressed by your strategic ways." Wikstrom said to Ash. "I hope you can beat Champion Leon with your experience, determination and become the Pokémon World Champion."
"Thanks." Ash said and turns to Sirfetch'd who gave high high five.
