(Ichigo's voice): The Final of Finals

Everyone was excited to see this battle. As for Ichigo and his friends, they watched with anticipation with hope that Ichigo would win.

"Hey, guys. Did I miss anything." Kugo said as he came over to them.

"Hey, Kugo. The battle is just about to start." Rukia said.

"Cool." Kugo said as he stuck around to see. "So, what's the deal with this Vlad?"

"Vlad's a powerful trainer." Rukia said. "He's battled Ichigo a couple times, but Ichigo couldn't beat him. It might take everything Ichigo has, and maybe even more, if he wants to beat him." None of them liked the sound of that.

"We will now reveal the field the first half of this battle will take place in." The field emerged and it looked like a model of a city. "It's a city battlefield. Now, what pokemon will the two of them start with?"

"Absol, you're up first!" Ichigo said.

"Absol!" Absol was Ichigo's first choice. He went out on the field and was ready to go.

"Druddigon, let's go!" Vlad said.

"Drud!"

"It's Absol vs. Druddigon. This only the start of something amazing. The finals can now begin!"

"Here we go, Vlad!" Ichigo said.

"Bring it on, Ichigo!" Vlad said. Both of them were looking forward to this battle. Now, the time for battle has come.

"Let's start this battle with Razor Wind!" Ichigo said as he started the battle. Absol reared his head back and unleashed the attack.

"Druddigon, Focus Blast!" Vlad said. Druddigon focused its energy and unleashed it. The two attacks collided and caused a fierce explosion to go off.

"Now use Night Slash!" Ichigo said.

"Use Crunch!" Vlad said. Both pokemon used their attacks. Absol tried attacking with his horn, but Druddigon was able to catch it with Crunch. That was certainly a surprise to everyone. "Now use Dragon Claw!" While Druddigon had Absol trapped, Druddigon slashed its claws against Absol and knocked Absol back.

"Are you okay?" Ichigo said. Absol took some damage, but was able to get back up. "Try Night Slash again!" Absol tried attacking Druddigon. He slashed against Druddigon, but Absol was hurt as well.

"Why's Absol hurt?" Orihime questioned.

"Druddigon's ability is Rough Skin. Every time Absol makes physical contact with Druddigon, Absol will take damage."

"Now use Dragon Claw!" Vlad said. Druddigon slashed its claw against Absol and did some damage. Ichigo could see that Absol was outmatched.

"Absol, come back. Druddigon is too strong." Ichigo said. Absol followed through with the order.

"Ichigo is switching out his pokemon. What pokemon will he be using next?"

"Umbreon, I choose you!" Ichigo said.

"Umbreon!"

"It's now Umbreon, and one with a special color."

"We'll finish this battle in one shot. Druddigon, Focus Blast!" Vlad said. Druddigon formed the attack and launched it.

"Protect!" Ichigo said. Umbreon formed the barrier around itself and was able to block the attack.

"In that case, we'll use Dragon Pulse!" Vlad said. Druddigon got the attack ready as it charged in its mouth.

"Shadow Ball! Aim for Druddigon's mouth!" Ichigo said. Umbreon used the attack and it blasted in Druddigon's mouth. The explosion knocked Druddigon out.

"Druddigon is unable to battle! Umbreon is the winner!" The referee said.

"Vlad looses the first pokemon! That was a well timed attack from Ichigo's side."

"Yes! One down and only five to go!" Orihime said.

"Five more wins and he's the champ!" Keigo said as they were all getting excited.

"Let's try and take it easy, guys. It's still a long battle." Rukia said as she was trying to contain her excitement. She understands that Vlad is a powerful opponent and Ichigo still has a long way to go before he really wins. Once Vlad brought Druddigon back to its pokeball, he got his next pokemon ready.

"Donphan, let's go!" Vlad said.

"Donphan!"

"Vlad's second pokemon is Donphan. Looks like he's just going to keep on rolling."

"Let's win this battle too! Umbreon, Swift!" Ichigo said. Umbreon started the battle by shooting the stars at Donphan.

"Donphan, Rollout!" Vlad said. Donphan started rolling and pushed its way through the stars with Donphan smashing against Umbreon. "Rollout again!" Donphan was rolling even faster and was heading for Umbreon.

"Protect!" Ichigo said. Umbreon was able to form the barrier around itself and was able to block the attack.

"Not bad, but you can't battle what you can't see." Vlad said. "Donphan, Sandstorm!" Donphan slammed its trunk against the ground and generated a powerful sandstorm in the area. It was difficult to see a thing.

"Sandstorm rages across the field. How does Ichigo plan to get out of this one?"

"Umbreon, get moving! Don't let Donphan catch you!" Ichigo said. Umbreon moved around the field and hoped to keep Donphan guessing by jumping over the rooftops.

"There is no running from my Donphan. Rollout!" Vlad said. Donphan started rolling around and could tell where Umbreon was as Donphan chased after Umbreon and smashed through the model city.

"Donphan can case after Umbreon in that raging Sandstorm. Umbreon is trying to stay out of reach, but can Umbreon keep it up."

"I don't think so." Vlad said. "Donphan, Thunder Fang!" Donphan was building up speed. When it was fast enough, Donphan jumped in the air with electricity coursing through its tusks. Donphan caught Umbreon in its tusks and Umbreon got electrocuted. Donphan thrashed Umbreon around until it gave Umbreon a good throw. When the sandstorm cleared away, Umbreon was shown to be taken out.

"Umbreon is unable to battle! Donphan is the winner!" The referee said.

"The battle is now even. Both sides have lost one pokemon."

"It might be that way for now, but that's about to change. Maybe if I attack from the air..." Ichigo said as he had an idea. "Gliscore, let's go!"

"Gliscore!"

"Ichigo is now going with Gliscore!"

"No matter what pokemon you use, we won't lose. Donphan, Rollout!" Vlad said. Donphan started rolling and launched itself in the air to hit Gliscore.

"Gliscore, Knock Off!" Ichigo said. Gliscore waited until Donphan got close enough and knocked it back with its claw with Donphan hitting the ground. "Now use Stone Edge!" Gliscore flew straight down and smashed its claw against the ground. Rocks shot out of the ground and smashed right into Donphan. "Now use Steel Wing!" Gliscore flew right at Donphan for the finishing attack.

"Donphan, Ancient Power!" Vlad said. Donphan got it's attack ready as Gliscore was getting closer.

"Gliscore, stop! Pull away!" Ichigo said. When Donphan launched the attack, Gliscore was able to pull away before the attack hit. "Good! Now use Screech!" Gliscore unleashed an awful sound right at Donphan and Donphan couldn't stand the sound. "Now use Steel Wing!" Gliscore flew right at Donphan while it was distracted and smashed its wings against Donphan. Donphan was knocked back and taken out.

"Donphan is unable to battle! Gliscore is the winner!" The referee said.

"Down goes Donphan. That rolling pokemon just got rolled over." Vlad brought Donphan back in its pokeball. Even though he's falling behind, he's not to worried. For the first time in a long time, he's actually enjoying a battle.

"Skarmory, let's go!" Vlad called.

"Skar!"

"It's a battle in the air as we have Skarmory vs. Gliscore now."

"Whether it's land or sky, my pokemon and I will battle to the very end." Ichigo said.

"I would hope so. Skarmory, Air Slash!" Skarmory generated wind around its wings and unleashed it with it hitting Gliscore.

"Hang in there, Gliscore! Knock Off!" Ichigo said. Gliscore flew straight at Skarmory and got ready to attack.

"Blast it out of the air with Swift!" Vlad said. Skarmory tried to battle back by blasting Gliscore with a barrage of stars, but Gliscore was able to avoid the attacks. Gliscore got close enough to Skarmory and smashed its claw against Skarmory's head and caused Skarmory to hit the ground.

"Now use Stone Edge!" Ichigo said. Gliscore flew straight down and caused rocks to shoot out of the ground. They hit Skarmory and knocked Skarmory into the air. "Now use Knock Off again!" Gliscore flew at Skarmory for a repeat.

"We're not falling for that again! Agility!" Vlad said. Skarmory was able to pull it off as Skarmory increased its speed and caused Gliscore's attack to miss and threw Gliscore off balance for a moment.

"Skarmory moved incredibly fast! That's Agility for you."

"Now use Steel Wing!" Vlad said. Skarmory flew around and smashed the attack against Gliscore and knocked it back.

"Hang in there, Gliscore!" Ichigo called. Gliscore pulled it together and regained balance in the air.

"Steel Wing!" Both of them said. Both pokemon flew at each other as they used the same attack. They collided against each other and both were knocked back.

"A collision of Steel Wing. It looks like neither pokemon was able to win that battle."

"Steel Wing again!" Both trainers said. The two pokemon flew at each other again. They clashed into each other again with the same results.

"Another collision! It doesn't look like either side is backing down!"

"What are those two doing?" Mizuiro said.

"They're just getting the same results. Not to mention Skarmory is taking less damage than Gliscore." Rukia said. "What's Ichigo trying to do with this?"

"Nothing." Kugo said with all of them looking at him. "This is just something that happens when it comes to competition."

"Steel Wing one more time! Show them that yours is the better one!" Ichigo said.

"That's how you want to play it? Childish, but we'll take the challenge. Steel Wing at full power!" Vlad said. The two pokemon went in for another collision. The two of them collided for a third time, but neither side was backing down this time. Neither was flying away or giving up.

"Both pokemon are trying to push the other back! Which one will be able to come out?!" The two of them kept pushing their power against each other until an explosion went off. "What happened?! Who won?!" All of them looked carefully to see who won. What they saw were both pokemon falling out of the smoke with both of them hitting the ground and they were both taken down.

"Both pokemon are unable to battle! This match ends in a draw!" The referee said.

"A draw! What an unexpected end! Now, Ichigo has four pokemon left while Vlad only has three!" Both trainers brought their pokemon back. Ichigo could see he has his work cut out for him.

'I might hold the most pokemon, but Vlad is one tough trainer.' Ichigo thought as he could see that the rest of this battle isn't going to get any easier.

Having to face one of the toughest trainers he's ever battled, Ichigo is doing well. However, Vlad has proven himself to be a skilled and powerful trainer himself. Which one of them will really end? Who will be crowned the champion of the Kalos League? The only way to know is for you to stay tune and find out.
