A/N: (I'm sorry but I won't be using Snivy nor will Ash get baby Pokemon. As for mega evolution well that's a topic for future. I have thought out Ash's team all but two spots of who he will capture. Give me ideas via PM or review. Thanks for reading. Review more please. My longest chapter yet; over a thousand words, enjoy).

"This is a one on one battle between Ash and Gary of Pallet Town. Once the Pokemon on either side is knocked out or is unable to battle the other will be declared the winner. Trainers send out your Pokémon", Professor Oak announced.

Gary had already told Ash that he would use Blastoise before the match claiming it would mess with his head. Turns out it was messing with his head. Should he go with Pikachu who had type advantage or with Charizard who was itching for another match with Blastoise? Before he could decide he heard Gary speaking to him.

"The smart option would be to choose Pikachu to fight my Blastoise. However if I know you Ash and if I know what my Pokemon and what your Pokemon want, then I know for certain that instead of sending out Pikachu, you will be sending out Charizard", Gary said.

His mind made up, Ash grinned. Of course, Gary was right. Choosing Pikachu would be the smart option, but Charizard and Blastoise had a rivalry that went way back, not to mention that Ash's Charizard had defeated Gary's Blastoise before.

Ash grabbed Charizard's Pokeball and threw it with vigor. Charizard roared as it entered the battlefield before realizing his opponent and giving a half happy and half feral grin.

Charizard's eyes narrowed and it began to roar. In response, Gary's Blastoise seemed to bare its teeth, before lowering its head and preparing to attack.

"Hydro Pump", Gary yelled.

"Charizard dodge it, and then use Flamethrower"

Charizard flew up into the air, dodging the Hydro Pump and hitting Blastoise directly with Flamethrower.

"Now follow it up with Dragon Claw!" Charizard rushed to Blastoise, once again landing a direct hit.

"Follow up with Thunder Punch", Ash shouted.

"Use Withdraw and then use Hydro Pump", Gary called out to his Charizard.

Blastoise withdrew into its shell as Charizard tried to land another direct hit on it.

"Charizard get away from there!" Ash yelled, but it was in vain as Blastoise had already started to use Hydro Pump. The blast from Blastoise sent Charizard tumbling to the ground.

"Now use Ice Beam!" Blastoise fired its Ice Beam at Charizard, once again hitting him. Charizard roared in pain.

"Blastoise use Skull Bash!" Blastoise lowered itself before launching itself at Charizard.

"Charizard fly up to dodge it"

However Charizard didn't move, and that's when Ash realized what Ice Beam had done. Charizard's wings were frozen; making it unable to fly and as a result Skull Bash hit Charizard head on.

"Dragon Claw Charizard"

"Dodge and use Skull Bash once again!"

Charizard tried to land a Dragon Claw but it was too slow because of the ice. Blastoise lowered itself once again before pouncing at Charizard.

Ash gritted his teeth. He only had one option, but it was risky. Very risky indeed.

'Oh well,' he thought, 'it's my only way out of this.'

"Charizard use Blast Burn!" Charizard roared before unleashing a massive plume of fire. Blast Burn hit Blastoise and sent it flying. Ash could now see that the ice on Charizard's wings had melted.

"Alright Charizard!" Ash yelled, "I need you to be able to withstand one more attack for me. Can you do that?" Charizard looked at Ash, fire burning in his eyes and he nodded.

"Blastoise use Hydro Pump!" Gary yelled and Ash had to pray that Charizard would be able to outlast this attack. The Hydro Pump hit Charizard and sent it skidding backwards.

"Now use Skull Bash", Blastoise lowered its head and launched towards Charizard.

"Charizard use Dragon Claw", Charizard unleashed his Dragon Claw just as Blastoise was about to collide with it. Blastoise went flying back.

"Withdraw!" Gary yelled.

"Now's our chance; Charizard fly to Blastoise and use Seismic Toss!" Ash countered.

Charizard flew straight toward Blastoise as it withdrew into its shell. Charizard grabbed the shell before taking off towards the sky, somersaulting and throwing it hard towards the ground.

The ground shook as Blastoise landed, almost knocking Ash and Gary off their feet. A cloud of dust shrouded their vision and when it finally dispersed the results were clear.

Blastoise had lost whilst Charizard could be seen launching Flamethrowers in the sky in celebration as Ash's Pokemon cheered and gathered around him.

After congratulating Charizard Ash faced Gary again who had also congratulated him. Ash them purposed a battle between two of his Pokemon and two of Gary's which Gary responded in affirmative.

After scanning the Pokemon gathered Ash sent out Quilava and Totodile against the Pokemon Gary had sent out which happened to be his Umbreon and his Electivire, which Gary told he had acquired in Sinnoh recently.

The battle between the four Pokemon was a long one with neither side wanting to give in. Finally though, Gary started to have advantage when Electivire's ability Motor Drive kicked in. Along with his experienced Umbreon, Gary began to overwhelm Ash's Pokemon when all of a sudden both of Ash's Pokemon began to glow.

When the glow died down instead of Quilava and Totodile, Typhlosion and Croconaw stood in all their glory. After a newly learned Eruption curtsey of Typhlosion and a Hydro Pump from Croconaw whose attacks collided with the Thunder of Electivire and Shadow Ball from Umbreon, a massive explosion took place and when everything cleared the result was what no one had expected.

Pokemon from both sides were declared knocked out and it was a tie. Ash was happy with the result and he could tell Gary was too. Ash knew that the result was good because of the determination of his Pokemon of not losing the battle and in that determination they had evolved.

Now all that was left was to train Typhlosion and Croconaw so they could get used to their new bodies and possibly new moves.

After all less than a month was left until he left for Kalos. He couldn't wait.
