Chapter 9: Final Battle
The Pokemon attacked. Pikachu started off with a lightning bolt that made the Nikaron
wince.
Ash's Squirtle, teamed with Ayako's water Pokemon, combined their water attacks to send
the Nikaron flying back a few hundred feet.
Yoshi's Charmander climbed onto Pidgeotto and together, they performed sky-fire attacks. Ash and
Yoshi's Bulbasaur let loose with solar beam which literally knocked the Nikaron's feet out from
under him. Mew Two scored a direct hit on the creature's forehead with an energy sphere.
The Pokemon's attacks were good. But the Nikaron slowly gained the upper hand by
swatting the flying Pokemon and stomping on the rest. Onix was picked up and threw half way
across town. Even Mew Two was defeated when Onix collided into it.
Ash was getting worried. The Pokemon were winning moments ago and now they were getting
their butts creamed. Then he got an idea. Ash took out his pokedex and opened it.
"Ash," Brock called. "The Nikaron isn't a Pokemon. Your pokedex won't help you."
"But it will," Ash said. "I'm setting it to x-ray mode."
"It can do that?"
"Professor Oak showed me how to on the plane." Brock was impressed. Somehow, Ash went
from being a self-centered, stubborn idiot to a... not so self-centered, stubborn idiot.
{I guess Misty's accident finally made him snap to attention.} Brock didn't know how right he
was. When Mew Two told them about the Nikaron, Ash (by instinct) turned to look at Misty and
Brock for advice. But then he remembered what happened and he knew that he had to start
thinking on his own two feet. He knew Misty would be proud of him.
{No.} Ash shook his head. {I can't think like that. Misty is going to pull through. I know it!}
"Go, Nikaron!" Giovanni yelled. "Destroy Nerima as an example to the world of your
power!" The Nikaron stepped right over the defenders and headed straight toward the center of
Nerima. Ash aimed Dexter at the Nikaron's back and moved it up and down.
"I found something!" He cried. Brock and Sabrina looked over both his shoulders.
"Seems like that crystal is its power source," Brock pointed out a large orb on Dexter's
screen.
"If we could somehow destroy it, the Nikaron could go as well," Sabrina added.
"Charizard probably has enough power to destroy it. The trick is to get it up there."
Mousse, who heard the whole conversation, came over to them. "I can get it up there."
He held out his hand as if expecting Ash to give him the pokeball. Ash was hesitant. Not that
he didn't trust Mousse for what he did, far from it, it was just that Charizard was a loose
cannon. Ash didn't know if it would do the job. It hasn't been very obedient. It was only a
miracle that it saved Ash from being street pizza.
Taking out Charizard's pokeball, Ash reluctantly handed it to Mousse. Mousse reached
into the sleeve of his shirt and pulled out a ball scooper. Ash was amazed that such a big
object could fit inside a sleeve. Putting the pokeball into the scooper, Mousse then took out
a chain and tied one end around the ball scooper securing it with a padlock (both lock and
chain came from his shirt).
"I need to get in front of the Nikaron," he told Ash.
"I can help you," Brock volunteered. Then called to Onix. The rock Pokemon was
immediately at its trainer's side.
"Take Mousse and go underground," Brock ordered. "See if you can get to Nerima before
the Nikaron does." With a nod, Onix lifted Mousse onto its head. It then dove into the
ground.
"Let's see how our Pokemon our doing," Ash suggested. He, Brock, and Sabrina took off.
It wasn't far before they spotted the battle. The Pokemon were holding their own. Their
powers, both individually and united were working but barely. Pikachu was having its own
problems. Namely, Giovanni's Pursian. Giovanni sent it into battle to take care of Pikachu.
Pursian was only too happy to obey. Recently, Pikachu manage to shock Giovanni. Now Pikachu
was holding a three-way battle: against the Nikarettes, the Nikaron, and Pursian.
Duplica, Ayako, and Yoshi were also joining in the battle, throwing everything they could
at the Nikaron but failing. Even Sabrina's psychic powers were ineffective.
{Oh man,} Yoshi thought to himself as he tried desperately to pound the Nikaron's leg
with a stick. {I'm beginning to wonder if there is a part of the Pokemon Prophecy that says
the heroes are destined to die in the end.}
Ryouga ran through the streets of Nerima. Closely behind him were Kuno, his sister,
Kodachi, Genma and Soun.
All five gasped as they saw the Nikaron.
"That thing is huge," Ryouga commented.
"It could stomp us flat," Genma added. Then, "I don't see Ranma and the others anywhere."
"That must mean that... OH, AKANE! MY LITTLE GIRL IS GONE!" Soun burst into tears that
would've made Niagara Falls jealous.
{Akane? Gone? No, I refuse to accept it!} Ryouga has always had a crush on Akane. Actually,
it was more than a crush, it was a downright obsession. For her to be dead, was like a piece of
him to be dead.
{That creature will pay!} Ryouga started building up his ki-energy for what will be
known as the largest ki-blast in man-kind. Kuno and the others stood back as Ryouga aimed with
all his strength his energy at the creature.
"SHISHI-HOKOUDAN!" Ryouga yelled as he unleashed his most powerful ki-blast ever. The
energy hit the Nikaron like a battering ram sending it flying back.
To the Pokemon crew's surprise, a chunk of the Nikaron's stomach fell off.
"No!" Giovanni cried. "They damaged my beautiful Nikaron! Finish them!" The Nikaron
went on a rampage, smashing everything in sight.
"That," Ryouga said, "was for Akane."
Akane really wasn't dead. She was just unconscious. But she came to. She looked around
and saw Ranma, Shampoo, Ukyou, and Stephen, all unconscious. She quickly went to the nearest
person, who, coincidentally, was Ranma.
"Ranma? Wake up! Come on, you bakka, this is no time to be taking a nap!" Ranma moaned
and slowly sat up.
"What happened? I remember now. The Nikaron. Where is it?"
A voice called, "Psyduck! Psy-yi!" I know! Follow me! It was Psyduck. Somehow, it
escaped from its pokeball and saw the battle.
"What's it saying?" Akane asked.
"How should I know?" Ranma asked. "I don't speak psy-language." Akane hit him with her
mallet just for saying that joke.
"Psyduck! Psy-yi-duck-psy." Folow me, I'll lead you to the others. Still, Ranma and
Akane looked confused.
Psyduck fumed. It then went over to where Stephen, Ukyou, and Shampoo were laying.
Psyduck's frame started to glow an indigo blue, like Ranma's ki-blast. What Ranma and Akane
didn't know was that Psyduck was using its psychic powers to revive the others. But they got
that impression when they woke up.
"What happened?" Stephen asked.
"Duck. Psyduck." There. Come on.
"What's he saying?" Ukyou asked.
"I think he wants us to follow him," Stephen replied. Like the others, he didn't know
that Pokemon (with the possible exception of the Nidorans, Meowth, and Mew Two) were sexless.
Stephen formed a SUV out of ki-energy and with Psyduck in tow, they took off back to Nerima.
While all this was happening, Jessie, James, and Meowth watched the battle taking place
from behind a rock.
"What should we do?" James asked.
Meowth answered that question with a question, "what do you mean?"
"Well, the boss is winning. If he does, he would become unstoppable and conquer the
world."
"But that's good," Jessie reminded him.
"Not so," James said. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And the boss with that
Nikaron is absolute power. He might have no more need for Team Rocket with that Nikaron. And
that could mean that we're out of a job."
"You're being paranoid," Jessie said slapping him in the back of the head. Then she
leaped up at shouted, "hey boss, let us finish them off for you!"
Giovanni and the Nikaron turned and glared at the three of them. "I am sick of you three
and your incompetence," he said. And he launched some Nikarettes at them. Team Rocket
scattered as the Nikorettes took form.
"See," James said. "I told you he would turn on us."
"Shut up and keep running," Jessie ordered. Jessie, James, and Meowth jumped into the
meowth balloon and took off out of range of the Nikorettes and their abilities.
Mousse and Onix burst from the ground. Swinging the weapon he made out of ball scooper,
chain, and padlock, he threw it at the Nikaron. The whole thing landed perfectly in the
Nikaron's mouth.
"Pitiful boy," Giovanni cursed. "Your weapons can't hurt my Nikaron."
{That's what you think,} Mousse thought with a smile.
The crystal that served as the Nikaron's power source was quartz. Giant rubber tubes
connected the crystal to different parts of the Nikaron's body.
The pokeball tumbled down into the Nikaron's body. It landed on the platform the crystal
was on. It burst open and Charizard came out.
{Where am I?} It thought. {It looks like I'm trapped in something's. Ash. Only he can
throw a pokeball like this. I'll be sure to burn his pants next time I see him.} It then
began shooting fire blasts all over the place. One of the fire blasts destroyed the crystal
that was the source of the Nikaron's life.
Outside, the Nikaron suddenly dropped to one knee and grabbed its neck like it was
choking.
"No," Giovanni cried. "My Nikaron! They're destroying it!" Ash and the others were
soon joined by Mousse, Ranma and the others.
"How did you guys find us?" Ash asked Ranma.
"This little guy lead us to you," Ranma replied holding up Psyduck.
"Psyduck!" Ash and Brock shouted at the same time.
"Why do you guys look so surprised?"
"Psyduck can't even find its way out of its pokeball," Ash commented. "And it lead you
guys to us?"
"Yup."
"I have to hand it to you, Psyduck. You did a pretty noble thing,"
"Psy. Psyduck-psyduck?" Thanks. What did I do?
"All right," Ash said turning to the Nikaron. "Let's hit him with everything we got!"
Everyone, Pokemon along with Ranma, Akane, Shampoo, Ukyou, Mousse, and Stephen let loose with
everything they could throw at him. Like a brittle clay sculpture in an earthquake, the
Nikaron shattered leaving Giovanni in a pile of rubble.
And at the wrath of the Pokemon and Nerima Gang.
Throwing a pokeball, into the air, Giovanni called out, "Pidgeot! Get me out of here!"
The Pidgeot was the evolved form of Pidgeotto. It was over three times the size of a Pidgeotto
and able to carry several humans on its back. As it was about to do with Giovanni.
With a triumphant, evil laugh, Giovanni took off toward the sky and eventually, to the
ocean in a south-easterly direction.
"We did it!" Ash cried. Everyone burst into cheers and laughter at their success.
"The Pokemon Prophecy has come true!" Ayako cried as she hugged Yoshi. Ash did his
victory stance.
Ryouga, Genma, and Soun arrived on the scene.
"AKANE!" Soun cried. "Oh Akane! My little girl is not dead." And he gripped his
youngest daughter in a fierce bear hug.
Genma put his hand on Ranma's shoulder. "I'm proud of you my boy. You stood up to a
fierce opponent and beaten it."
"It wasn't just me, Pop," Ranma said grabbing Ash's arm. "Ash was the true hero. He
held us together."
"Well, actually, I supplied the pokeball. It was Mousse who got it in."
"Mousse very brave," Shampoo commented. "Stupid. But brave." And she gave him a peck
on the cheek. Overcome with what just happened, Mousse fainted.
Stephen's ki-cellular phone rang. He took it out.
"Talk to me."
"Stephen?"
"Yes, Dr. Tofu."
"It's Dr. Tofu."
"Yeah, that's what I just said."
"Oh. Well I just wanted to tell Ash that his friend, Misty is about to come out of her
coma."
"That's great. I'll tell him."
"Can you tell him?"
"That's what I just said."
"Oh. Sorry. Bye. See you there."
"Bye, Doc. Hey Ash, Misty's about to come out of her coma!" Ash was completely excited.
Misty was going to be all right. He couldn't wait to tell her about how he lead a team of
heroes into battle and won! Maybe she would treat him differently now.
Everybody started to run back toward town but Mew Two held a paw out to Ash's shoulder.
Thank you, Ash Ketchum. You truly are the world's greatest Pokemon Trainer.
"Thank you, Mew Two," Ash said. He decided that Mew Two wasn't so bad. A little
conceited at times but basically a nice Pokemon. "But what are you going to do now?"
I will continue to learn about myself. With Mew's help. They both looked up to see
Mew fly by, smiling. Mew was all better thanks to Nurse Joy.
"Mew-mew-mew. Mew," it said.
Mew says thank you for helping me as well. I hope together, all of us can start a new
chapter in the story of Pokemon.
"You're welcome, Mew," Ash called back. "And take care of Mew Two. He's a good friend."
Although Mew Two didn't have a mouth, Ash could tell that it was smiling. Mew Two floated up
to join its predecessor and the two took off in flashes of pink and blue light. Ash smiled.
Everything was going to turn out all right. Mew and Mew Two were now good friends and allies
of Ash, they made new friends in Ranma, the Tendos, and the other martial artists of Nerima,
and most importantly, Misty was going to be all right. Although nobody was around to tell,
Ash blushed at that.
{That's it,} he decided. {I'm going to tell Misty what I really think of her. I realize
now that you can't ignore what's right in front of your face. You must not be afraid of your
feelings. And most importantly, you can't be afraid to rely on your friends.} Charizard flew
overhead and Ash hopped on (Charizard forgot about burning Ash's pants when it realized what
Ash wanted it to do). He then took off after the others.
The Pokemon attacked. Pikachu started off with a lightning bolt that made the Nikaron
wince.
