I don't own Pokémon. Plain and simple. I'm just writing stories for fun.
Read, Review, and Enjoy!
PFL Amateur Invitationals Opening, Magikarp Festival, WiiU Harbor, Arkieu City (8:00 PM)...
A speaker blared as a hologram projected recorded introductions of the fighters taking part in the event.
"Hello! I am Gardener Giga, and I come from the Fairy District. Like what my name says, I'm a gardener, constantly growing both plants and strength for this event. I hope I can achieve my childhood dream of becoming a professional fighter in the Pokken Fighting League, and I will bring it out with grace and power!"
"I'm Delphi Daring! I came from the Fire District, and I studied in the Joy Institute of Medicine as a pharmacist. With my skills as a pharmacist and a practitioner in the medical field, I wish to be in the PFL so I can prove to my peers that anyone can fight in the league if they can stand up to anything."
The match between Gardener Giga and Delphi Daring ended with Delphi Daring knocked out. Gardener Giga was beaten the first round, but her rebound win left her extremely exhausted. The two were alright, but they were resting until Ash and Xan's match is complete.
(8:30 PM)...
"Hey! OJ Challenger is my name, and power is my game. I come from the Dragon District as a local Security Guard for hire. I won't back down from a challenge, and I hope to take part in the matches officiated by the PFL."
"Aye! Jimbo Jango's my name! I'm a bartender from the Ice District. Brawling has always been a passion of mine and I wish to do it full time! The PFL has been in my sights for a long time and I will do anything to get in on the fun!"
The first round ended with OJ knocking Jimbo out of the ring. The second round, as mentioned earlier, went to Jimbo after doing the same thing that OJ did to him.
Present time (9:00 PM)...
Bianca and Kanon were watching the fights from above. Rods were balanced on their rigid wings so small flying type Pokémon could have a view. Bianca has a few Pidgeys and Natus on her shoulders, balanced with a pair of Beedrills. Kanon had a flock of Fearrow, hindering her flight. Kanon was wearing a guzzler helmet full of root beer, drinking like it is the end of the world, because if she falls, it may as well be the end of the world for her with how heavy it is.
"This is gonna be fun!" Bianca called out with the Pidgeys, Natus, and Beedrills agreeing with her.
Kanon looked at the Fearrow flock and asked if they can get off and give her a breather. They allowed it and perched on the back of an Aggron. Finding herself next to the DJ booth, she asked if the current DJ, a Chikorita, could play a music mashup for the Xan Yan Zan Vs Lightning Rodent fight.
When she got back to Bianca with the rod back on her wings, she crossed two stubby fingers on both hand-paw-things and started drinking more root beer.
After the announcer called up Ash and Xan Yan Zan, the two competitors were surprised that they were both the same size. For Xan, it's understandable as a Lucario that they would be tall. With Ash, everyone was shocked at his size. Pun intended, but undeniably true, the Human-sized Pikachu was a size to be reckoned with. He had a mysterious aura surrounding him, which was just him feeling a little nervous about fighting someone and being watched by thousands all over the island.
The lights dimmed down a little, showing the two fighters' introductions.
"My name is Xan Yan Zan. I'm a simple guy from the Steel District, working as a fitness instructor and a part-time PFL historian. I'm just trying to make do with what I have in my skills and take a chance into getting into the PFL as a fighter."
"Hey, I'm Lightning Rodent- embarrassing name, am I right? Real punny." this incited laughter from everyone. "I'm a foreigner who got dumped into the ocean and was found with amnesia. Now I'm trying to pick up the pieces by joining the PFL and proving that I have what it takes to be a talented fighter."
The lights completely shut off, with Ash and Xan preparing themselves for their fight. The crowd cheered as they got ready...
"ALL RIGHT EVERYBODY, THIS IS DJ CHIKA RITA HERE! LET'S HEAR SOME NOISE!" the cheering got louder and louder as the announcements came in.
"On the blue side hailing from the Steel District, we have Xan Yan Zan! On the red side currently living in the Water District, we have Lightning Rodent!"

Xan raised his paws, waving them aggressively at Ash. He balled them up and sprinted around him quickly. The wind rose a little from Xan's running speed. Ash closed his eyes and waited. Xan circled the large Human-turned-Pikachu before closing in. *BOOM!*
A bolt of lightning struck the both of them, with Ash coming down with an Iron Tail.
He missed.
Xan barely dodged it and sweat a little when the ground cracked from the Iron Tail. He went for a roundhouse kick.
He also missed.
Ash lunged forward, using Xan as a springboard to the air, where he summoned Lightning to strike himself down. *BOOM!*
He landed, sparking with energy, while Xan hurled foam rocks at him in rapid succession.
Ash constantly hopped, twirled, and flipped when an orb was close to him.
Unhooking his belt, Xan used it as a whip on Ash, who was caught off guard from it. It got him in the eye and he was forced to shake it off and continue fighting.
He got Xan when he used Quick Attack and Electro-Ball at the same time before finishing his combo with a Volt-Tackle, knocking him close to the edge of the ring.
What a match it was.
As the crowd cheered, Xan got up and pile-drove Ash to the floor, with Ash breaking free after he made contact and rolled away.
Getting up from their injuries to see what was going on, Gardener Giga, Delphi Daring, OJ Challenger, and Jimbo Jango were surprised when Xan brought two of his fingers together and jabbed them below Ash's ribs, disabling his opponent for a little bit. He was about to kick him out of the ring when the timer rang.
(Stop the song...)
"*BEEEEEEP!* Time's up!" the referee, a Magmar, called out. "It's a draw!"
"HNNN! Holy Miltank that hurts!" Ash hissed as he covered the undersides of his ribs with his paws. "Oh man, that stings!"
Xan gave a sheepish chuckle. "Sorry! I was gonna knock you out of the ring doing that."
"Well, I'm gonna have to be careful about that." Ash looked at Xan. "May the best guy win? I'm gonna go all out on this round."
Xan grinned as he and Ash shook paws. "Sure. May the best guy win! Give me your best, I'll give you mine!"
"CALL FOR ROUND TWO!" the Magmar called out, with Ash and Xan going into poses at each other with growing faces of concentration and confidence.
The competitors watching gave silent nods of approval as they watched the last two fighters for tonight duke it out after finishing with a tie last round.
Bianca and Kanon gave Ash thumbs up in the excitement that they were seeing this first hand.
(Play Ferrum Stadium from the Pokémon Tournament OST...)
On the blue side, Xan brought out a metal bone the length of his bicep, twirling it like a baton while using his belt as a secondary weapon.
On the red, Ash picked up his cap and set it backward, bumping his fists together to make powerful sparks fly out aggressively.
Having each other in their sights, they charged, with Ash jumping in the air while Xan slid underneath. They went back at each other and began fighting up close.
Every hit Xan made had Ash retaliate in double. Every hit Ash made Xan deal just as much.
Xan used his bone to block an Iron Tail while using his belt to reel Ash in closer.
Ash shocked Xan with a single lightning bolt that struck the belt, releasing the grip.
Lunging at Xan, Ash made an Iron Tail and focused his Aura. Xan reeled his bone and prepared to swat Ash out of the way.
He swung, with Ash still coming in hot-
"AURA WHIP! *SHLICK! BOOM!*"
"W- what the f4(k?!" the Lucario shouted out in surprise when he realized his bone was split in two and melting.
Ash's tail was wedged to the floor, flaccid, and stretched to look like a Raichu's tail.
The Human-turned-Pikachu sweated a little when he realized he got his tail stuck on the concrete. Dispelling his Aura, Ash whipped his tailback.
"Tsk! Ow!" He winced in pain after the Aura Whip turned into an Iron Tail, leaving a nasty cut across his left arm that was clearly visible. Clenching his fist, the cut slowly sealed shut with a dark gray scar showing where the cut was.
Xan looked at him and charged, knowing things became more interesting.
Ash parried the Lucario's belt strikes with his left arm, which was numbed by the belt.
He then made a hard kick that sent Xan close to the edge of the ring, tail almost across the line.
(Stop the song...)
"*BEEEEEEEP!* Time's up!" the referee called out. "Draw once again!" everyone was silent with what just happened- double draws in one match.
Claps came in from OJ Challenger, Delphi Daring, Gardener Giga, and Jimbo Jango. They were surprised at the power and agility both Ash and Xan have shown both rounds. Then Bianca, Kanon, the perched passengers on the two Latis, and the PFL staff who officiated the event. It was infectious to the audience, who joined in as well in cheering for the two.
Looking at each other in acknowledgment, Ash and Xan shook paws and fist-bumped. It was one hell of a fight for the both of them. Now the fighters need to be judged...
With Celebi in Dimension SS1.C (Right after MM: DM S1 and 2's Quarantine Ch 3, so between August through September of 2020)...
Celebi forwarded time to see what the present had to offer when it came to clues. She even asked Arceus if she could enter the dimension and scout the place for a bit. Once allowed, she got a front-row seat to the chaos of 2020.
"*cough!* I think we got yeeted into Minecraft!" Rock/Mega Man coughed out. Roll nodded. The two were sucked up by a wormhole along with Cut Man.
The three looked at the ceiling and the surrounding area with dazed expressions.
"*sigh* Things have been nuts for the past two years!" Cut Man groaned. "I think we f4(ked up the universe with what we did to Wily and Bagura."
It was no joke that the two names mentioned caused a massive problem. Celebi floated near a KOed Guts Man and sat on his head, listening to the conversation. Why was Guts Man KOed you might ask? Because a bunch of locomotive tenders belonging to a few buddies of Thomas the Tank Engine fell on top of him when Rock and Roll were spat out of a wormhole
"What did you find in there, Cut?"
"Guns, drinks, and drugs. I nearly drank Skooma if it wasn't for the portal."
Rock chuckled. Cut Man hasn't taken Skooma in years and that's a good sign. "Good to know."
Celebi gave a little chuckle that a sentient robot would actually take drugs.
"Bibibibibi!" That woke up Guts Man.
"*Groans...* My head..." Celebi stopped and looked down, with Guts Man looking at her now.
Rock looked at Guts Man and grinned. "Hey Guts. Why do you have a booger on your head-" Celebi looked at him and waved. Realizing what she almost looks like, he gave a loud shout that rocked the Light Mansion. "OH MY GOD, IT'S A F4(KING ONION!!!"
Ash Chapter 4 End...
So... That went better than I expected actually. It's been a while since I wrote a full fight scene. The last time I did one was two months ago for SS: Super Bomberman Rising, and that involved eight people brutally dying.

6.a Dimension SS1.C, as mentioned before, contains most of the canon story. It contains real life, while also keeping some of the magic and science from fiction.
6.b The specific chapter Celebi went into was the part of the Mega Man: DeafMatch Quarantine series, where the Robot Masters from Mega Man somehow have misadventures at home in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Enjoy her misfortune of meeting the Mega Man: DeafMatch cast while it lasts.

That's all for now, folks. Watts Chapter 4 is coming soon.
