"So this is the stadium," said Ash

"And we have to register there," said Cilan

"Well hello there boonie," said Trip and beside him is his conkeldurr

"Trip" said Ash

"You are here to humiliate yourself," asked Trip

"Who are you going to use," asked Trip

"I am going to use my scraggy," said Ash sending out his Scraggy

"Oh you are going to use this puny little pokemon," said Trip as conkeldurr is glaring at him

"Trip," said Ash as Conkeldurr stepped in between Ash and Trip and then Ash's Lucario burst out of his pokeball glaring Trip and Conkeldurr

"Who is this pokemon," asked Trip as he looked in his pokedex

"Interesting, I want to battle your Lucario," said Trip

"Sorry, but Lucario can't battle today, Scraggy is going to battle you " said Ash

"It seems your Lucario is weaker than your scraggy, that's why you are not going to battle with him," said Trip mocking Ash

"My Lucario doesn't want to waste his energy on you, my scraggy is sufficient for your conkeldurr " said Ash

"I will see, " said Trip as he went into different direction

"Hey Ketchum, I saw that. You should use your strongest fighting type" said Paul

"Hey Paul, nice to see you. But I want scraggy to give a chance" said Ash

"I know but when situation demands, you have to work with your brain,not your emotion.Everyone is going to use their experienced pokemon so you should do the same. As far as you are concern for Scraggy, you can give him battle chance in next gym" said Paul as he went away

"Scraggy if you don't mind, you have to stay out of this battle for now, I will use Lucario" said Ash to which he nodded

Seismitoad then launched focus blast once again in same manner

"Oh no, Sawk is in danger," said Cilan

"That's because Edmund is using swift swim.Seismitoad's ability to its full capacity. To stop Seismitoad, Stephan first of all have to stop rain," said Ash

"Now use focus punch back to back," said Edmund

"Sawk defend yourself, use super power," said Stephan

Sawk nodded and then jumped in the air and glowed red before he lands on the field and hit the field with both of his arm that result into battle field split into small pieces. The energy explosion sends Seismitoad flying in the air.

"Sawk is greatly affected by poison jab. We have to wait and see, how this battle will end" said Freddy

"Sawk can you battle, " asked Stephan

"Sawk saw sawk" said sawk as he stood up and ready for round two.

"Seismitoad use drain punch, " said Edmund

"Sawk use detect and then low sweep back to back," said Stephan

As Seismitoad charged in with drain punch, Sawk's eyes glowed red and dodged each drain punch of Seismitoad and then landed three consecutive low sweep on Seismitoad successfully. After low sweep, Seismitoad is down on both of his knees.

"Please welcome our next participant, Ash Ketchum and Trip. Trip is a new trainer from Nuvema Town and Ash Ketchum is a well established elite level trainer from Kanto region. This trainer participated in Indigo conference, Silver conference,Ever grande conference, and Lily of the valley conference " said Freddy making crowd go wild

"Wait a minute, Ash is experienced trainer," asked Bianca

"Yes, didn't you remember your cousin from Sinnoh and Ash were rivals in the league battle," asked Iris

"Yes, I forgot that completely, " said Bianca

"I wonder which pokemon Ash will select," said Stephan

"Trainers send your pokemon," said referee

"Go" said Ash and Trip sending their pokemon out.

"So you ditched your scraggy " said Trip

"Nah, he will defeat your Conkeldurr in the league and I bet on that, but I want to officially battle with my Lucario in his first battle," said Ash

"First battle, this means this pokemon is weak, " said Trip

"I said first official battle, it doesn't mean he is weak,and we are going to show you," said Ash

"Let the battle begin," said referee


Ash(Lucario) vs Trip(Conkeldurr)

"Lucario, use aura sphere," said Ash

"Conkeldurr stop it and use super power followed by bulk up ," said Trip

Lucario formed aura sphere between his paws and then launched it at Conkeldurr who used his concrete pillars to block it.

"Ash, we have to destroy the pillars first," said Lucario

"Ok Lucario, let's destroy the pillars," said Ash as he is finally able to communicate with Lucario via aura which he started practicing a month back.

"Lucario let's destroy those pillars," said Ash as Lucario nodded and then dashed towards Conkeldurr while using double team.

"Conkeldurr use stone edge all over the field," said Trip. Conkeldurr launched multiple sharped edge stones that strikes each copy of Lucario. Few moments later all copies vanished leaving empty field.

"Where is Lucario, it seems he just disappeared," said Don George

"Ash, I am right here on the field, I just used aura to create barrier so that light can't strike me and thus I am invisible, " said Lucario

"Wow, that's awesome," said Ash

"Did your pokemon just hid somewhere else," asked Trip in mocking way

"No he is right here, now Lucario" said Ash as aura wave send across the battle field which pulverized the concrete pillars leaving Conkeldurr with empty hands.

Lucario then made himself visible to everyone

"How is that possible," asked Iris

"Hmm, an interesting flavor, " said Cilan

"The good thing is that, without those pillars Conkeldurr can't protect himself," said Stephan

"Conkeldurr use focus blast,"

"Deflect it and use extremespeed into force palm," said Ash

Conkeldurr launched orb of focus energy towards Lucario who simply used his paws to send it in the air. Lucario then used extreme speed. With a blur, Lucario is now near Conkeldurr and placed his paws against his chest and then used force palm that send Conkeldurr skidding backward.

"All credit goes to Ash and his water types. " said Cilan

"Now Excadrill use drill run," said Iris

"We are not going to be defeated that easily," said Burgundy as she ordered Excadrill to use ice beam which excadrill deflected and striked Dewott

"And Excadrill landed a critical hit on Dewott," said Freddy

"You still lack coordination between you and your pokemon which I will prove here by defeating you," said Burgundy

"Dewott use razor shell," said Burgundy

"Excadrill let's show her what we are made of , counter with shadow claw," said Iris as Excadrill's claws glowed dark and then striked razor shell inflicting good amount of damage.

"Ice beam," said Burgundy

"Emboar stop him and use heat crash," said Bianca as Emboar balanced himself and grabbed Lucario and started to bind him tightly.

"How is that," asked Emboar

"Not so good for you," said Lucario as he used his aura to create a mini explosion which made Lucario free from Emboar's grip

"Lucario use dragon cannon," said Ash

"Dragon what, " asked Bianca in confusion and everything clears when Lucario launched massive cannon of blue and white color.

"Emboar dodge it," said Bianca as Emboar tried to dodge but sh was shocked when beam started to follow Emboar

"Again, nevermind," said stephan getting back to normal


Same night Ash is in the forest connected to Ambiga Town , where he is training with his pokemon.

"Ok Kingler use water gun, Baltoy use rapid spin to deflect water gun, " said Ash

When Pikachu and Joltik used thunder on the flying types, they endured it and are covered in golden electric layer

"Perfect, you all did great," said Ash as he hugged his flying type.

Ash is looking at his pokemon who are training hard.

After two hours Ash is done with required training as he can see good progress in his pokemon. "Now we can" said Ash as all of sudden he heard an explosion nearby.

"Ash, I can see a distressed aura, " said Lucario

"Guys, let's go and see, " said Ash as he recalled his pokemon except Lucario.

Two minutes later Ash reached near the source of explosion where he saw that an hydriegon is covered in blood, its neck is having deep cut, wings are broken and many other injuries are there.Ash quicky ran towards the injured hydreigon

"Who did this to you," asked Ash but there is no response, Hydreigon is struggling to ignore the pain and this human is asking stupid question

Hydreigon tried to fly but it is not working as its wings are damaged.

"Well we can worry over this later on, we have to heal you and for this I need to take you back to the pokemon center" said Ash as brings an empty pokeball out and tried to catch it but Hydreigon tried to use hyper beam but its body isn't allowing

to use full power.

"Listen, I know you are hurt and you don't want me to touch you but at least,

you can allow me to capture you so that you can be healed.Once you are healed I won't keep you with me ,I promise," said Ash

"if I want to survive, I need to go with this human or else I will be dead," thought Hydreigon

"Now this is the only way to save you," said Ash as he is about to capture Hydreigon a cross poison launched towards Ash but Lucario saved him

"Who is that," asked Ash

"That would be me," said a new voice yet familiar one

"Hunter J," said Ash in shock

"Well well well, we finally crossed our path once again," said J

"Now what you want," aksed Ash

"I want that " said J pointing at Hydreigon

"But why you want Hydreigon," asked Ash

"Why this, you know Hydreigon have good rates in black market as it is rare, pseudo legendary, and it is of dark and dragon type also this is shiny. You can't find hydreigon in other region right," said J

"Now give me side," said J as she started to walk towards the hydreigon

"So you tried to kill Hydreigon," asked Ash

"What if I tried to kill it, after all I am a hunter and I am doing my job," said J as her Ariados launched string shot on Ash but it is intercepted by Lucario.

"J stop it right there, you have to defeat me first and I won't let you kill any innocent living being," said Ash

"If you want to die,then I will fulfill your wish " said Hunter J as she released her six strong pokemon which include Salamence,Tyranitar, Aggron,Steelix and Rhyperior. Ash sends his Charizard, Lucario,Blastoise,Infernape,Typhlosion and Pikachu

"Guys we have to defend, Hydreigon," said Ash to which they nodded

Then intense battle started between J and Ash's pokemon.The battle continued for one hour where she is giving good competition to Ash's pokemon but in the end Ash's pokemon overpowered her pokemon and gave Ash a victory.

"No way, you can't defeat me like this," said J clearly frustrated with the loss.She then raised her arms in order to fire laser beam but thanks to Lucario cannon is destroyed.

"Now you leave this place or I have to kill you," said Ash making J retreat.

"I am going for now, but I will return to take revenge,remember that you are on my hitlist," said J

"Hydreigon, listen you are not in good shape and we all want to help you, so come with us. You can leave once you are free so,I beg you to come with me," said Ash as Hydreigon let it captured by Ash


"Oh my god, this is in very bad shape," said Joy as she is inspecting hydreigon but it tried to constantly bite Joy.

"Hydreigon, keep calm, she is trying to treat you," said Ash which made that dragon calmed a little bit

"Thanks," said Joy

"Now give me some time, I will let you know," said Joy as she took Hydriegon in the operation theater

"Okay nurse Joy," said Ash

One hour later Nurse Joy came out and told Ash that Hydreigon will be fit and fine in one week and told him that he can meet the dragon

"Hey Hydreigon, " said Ash making dragon growl at him

"Hey calm down, I just wanted to say that in one week you will be ready to go back in the wild and till then you have to stay here under the observation of doctors.

"Hydr" said Hydreigon as he started to growl once again

"I have to go now, in next six hours I have battle so I need some sleep. See you later Hydreigon," said Ash
