Brotherly Love
Sorry for leaving you on a cliff.But now this it,the battle between Adam and Ash but will Ash chicken out?Read on for Ash's greatest battle(Or at least what i think it is)Pikapal,just do what you can with you fics.I'm sure it'll be GREAT!On the side-lines my 'What if?' fics are getting their storylines and project 'fanfiction website'(What a crummy name)is growing slowly.Oh,and check out Pikapal's Pokémon counter part,hehe.Enjoy!
In the P.A.T.A stadium Adam was waiting patiently for his younger brother to step up to the podium.He didn't.Whispers from the crowd boomed around Ash,some accusing him of being scared,some saying he was too good for the likes of Adam.Ash has never backed down from a battle in his life,now would be the worst time for a Pokémon Master.
"Ash,get up there and call your first Pokémon"demanded Adam,losing his patience quickly.
"Ash what are you doing?"Misty asked quietly to herself,no understanding her friend's lack of responce.Ash just stood there,head down as to not face his fans or Adam.
'I can't fight Adam. . . he's my brother.I don't want to fight him in anger.What would mom think?'Ash thought to himself.
"IT SEEMS YOUNG KETCHUM IS REFUSING TO FIGHT.IF HE DOESN'T MOVE SOON HE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!"informed the voice.Gasps from Ash's closest friends were filled with shock that the so called best there is would be turning down a fight.
"Come on,Ash walk!"Adam demanded again.
Flashback(A flashback in a flashback?). . .
"Come on,Ash walk.I know you can"encouraged Adam,holding his arms out to catch his baby brother if he fell.
"Trying"whined baby Ash,shaky on his little legs.The two Ketchum brothers were in their back yard,Adam was trying to teach Ash to walk and so far it went quite good.
"That's it,now see that Pikachu doll?"asked Adam,pointing to a stuffed doll on the other side of the yard.Ash nodded."I want you to walk over there and get it ok?"said Adam.Ash toke a wobbly step towards the doll and stumbled but quickly caught himself."That's it Ash,you're doing great"cheered on Adam.Ash was about halfway and didn't fear for falling over,not with his brother there to catch him.
"Adam?"said Ash,trying to keep walking while talking.
"Yea Ash?"said Adam,keeping an eye on him
"Can you teach about Pokémon?"asked Ash,the dream of being a Pokémon Master starting to burn.
"Sure i will.We'll even battle each other one day too"said Adam,meaning it.He was reading day and night about Pokémon types and the Pokémon League.He couldn't wait to enter.
"I'd like that"said Ash.
"Just you wait Ash,we're going to be Pokémon Masters together and when we do battle,it won't be to see who's better.It'll be to become closer then we already are. . . that's the whole point"Adam told Ash,trying to imagine what it would be like to battle his brother and become a Pokémon Master with him.
"Yaaaa,i got it"yelled Ash,jumping up and down with the Pikachu doll in his hands.
"Good job Ash,you're one step closer to our dreams"said Adam hugging his brother and startde playing with him.
Three days later,Ash never saw Adam again.
End flashback. . .
'That was my dream. . . to go with my brother into the Pokémon League.How could i forget?He,no WE promised to one day battle.And i'm going to keep that promise. . for him'Ash thought to himself,drying a couple of tears away while holding others at bay.
"Just giving you time to sweat Adam.I'v been waiting a long time for this moment"said Ash,his boldness returning to him.Cheers went up from the crowd as Ash climbed up the podium.Adam was too reliving that special moment between the two when Ash broke into his thoughts.
'So he remembers does he?Good,i'm glad he understands.I felt so bad when i was taken away that i would never see him again and live out our promise.When i found him again i guess i was mad that he seemed to have forgotten about me and then i thought of dad so i freaked.Lucky Ember knocked me into line,i owe her one.' "I ain't going easy on ya Ash,no holding back.Best trainer wins"said Adam,also doing his best to keep himself steady.Ash nodded.
"NO TIME LIMIT,SIX POKÉMON EACH,LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"
Ash chose first,doing his traditional cap turning he tossed out his first Pokémon.
"Ivysaur,i choose YOU!"yelled Ash,his first ever plant Pokémon popping out.
"Then i choose Marowak,GO!"cried Adam,doing his throwing pose.Cheers for the Marowak who killed Tracey deafened Adam ans Ash while Prof Oak was running around whooping."Marowak,lets show them your special attack"commanded Adam.Hitting the ground with it's club,Marowak knocked up a cloud around itself.
"What?"Ash said,not understanding this attack.When the dust settled,Marowak was slowly digging a whole which was unusual for a ground type.It looked up and insulted Ivysaur with the eyelid and tongue thing.Ivysaur got really pissed and ignoring Ash charged at Marowak,as it was about to hit Marowak disappeared into thin air.
"Arrrr damn,a mirage"cursed Ash.Ivysaur looked around for Marowak,it didn't have to wait long as Marowak erupted from the ground.Marowak had blocked the hole he started and used a Double Team attack to make it seem it was still digging,sneak attacks are a key skill of any P.A.T.A Pokémon.It used Bonemerang to whack Ivysaur,who quickly got back on it's feet and hit back with Razor Leaf.While was Marowak was still reeling,Ivysaur grabbed it's bone club with Vine whip.Refusing to give it up Marowak pulled back,this game of tug 'o war was very even.
"Give it everything you've got Ivysaur!"yelled Ash.
"Give him what he wants Marowak*Chuckle*"said Adam.As Ivysaur gave a huge tug Marowak let go of it's bone.The bone was going too fast for Ivysaur to control and it hit HARD in the head.
"Finish it off Marowak,Fissure!"yelled Adam.Marowak jumped to grab its airborne club and as it was landing stroke the ground,splitting it under the feet of Ivysaur.Ivysaur fell into the ravine with a yell.
"MAROWAK WINS THE BATTLE!"announced the voice.The crowd was shocked including Misty and her friends,Adam was very good.Ash recalled Ivysaur and when he did the revine closed up with the aid of modern battle arena technology.
"Wartortle i choose YOU!Ivysaur was one of my best Pokémon,i need to take the advantage'"shouted Ash,the turtle Pokémon ready to battle.
"Let's try and beat 'em Marowak"encouraged Adam,not wanting to recall a Pokémon if he had to.Ash,had other plans.
"Rapid water gun attack!"ordained Ash,Wartortle squirted jets of water at Marowak while advancing.Marowak tried to block with it's club but was too slow and being a ground type it got weakened.
"Skull Bash!"said Ash.Wartortle rammed Marowak into a nearby wall and knocked it out.The agents were now gasping.Adam's Marowak hasn't been defeated in over a year.
"Grrrr,Marwak return.Go Fearow!"growled Adam,his best flying Pokémon taking Marowak's place.Wartortle automatically used a Hydro-Pump to try and hit Fearow.
"Mirror move"Fearow made a dome of reflective particles and reversed the attack back at Wartortle."Drill peak!"ordered Adam,diving from the air Fearow fainted Wartortle with its peak.
"Return Wartortle,not bad so far Adam.But Fearow no match against Pidegeot GO!"mocked Ash,who was sweating.The large bird went straight into it and battled.The two birds made many air collisions and wind attacks.Finally after 5 minutes both birds collapsed.Ember looked on worried,Adam had told her long ago what this would mean to him.She hoped he won.
"Return Fearow.Well done Ash,you've beaten two of my strongest Pokémon.But now you face a Pokémon never before seen by the public.Scamp(EPM-My made up Pokémon that i just had to use hehe)i choose you!"sneered Adam,he knew since Ash didn't know anything about Scamp he wouldn't have much luck.Scamp was a small blue Pokémon with quills all over it's body.It had two large pink eyes and a fish mouth with fins.It was a poison water type that used powerful water attacks and used a hard setting goo to trap it's prey.
"Great just what i need.Better use Muk GO!"yelled Ash.The most vile,disgusting,revolting creature on the planet oozed it's way across the battle field in front of Scamp."Be careful Muk,Body Slam"cautioned Ash.Muk was about to flop onto Scamp but the smaller Pokémon used its strong fins to jump out of the way.
"Bubblebeam now!"yelled Adam.The beam dug itself deep into Muk's gut and pushed it back."Now Raindow goo attack"Adam said with a grin.From its mouth a very colorful goop squirted out and hit Muk.The goo quickly hardened,incasing Muk in a case."Ha,Scamp was too mu-huh?"gasped Adam.The hard goo began to fizz and then shattered.
"Scamp's goo is no match for Muk's acid attack.Sludge!"cheered Ash,the toxic slime was too much for Scamp and it was hurt.Then,Scamp suddenly started glowing.
"What?It-it's evolving"whispered Adam.When it was over,what used to be Scamp was now twice as big with teeth and it's front fins turned into flippers.
"Rrruntweed!"it growled.
"What's that?"asked Adam taking out Porytron.
"Runtweed,the hybrid Pokémon.This crossbreed Pokémon uses all attacks of the poison and water types"chirped Porytron.
"Great,i got a new Pokémon.Poison won't work though.Oh well,you're stronger now so give it another Rainbow goo attack"Adam quickly said.
"Body Slam!"cried Ash.As Runtweed fired,Muk fell on top of it.When Muk stood back up,Runtweed was crushed under it's own dome of goo.
"RUNTWEED IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE,MUK TAKES THE BATTLE!"said the voice.Muk kindly smashed the dome so Adam could recall Runtweed.
"I'll train it even better now it has evolved.Venusaur,i choose you!"shouted Ash.The Venusaur he used earlier that day popped out of it's Pokéball ready."Leech seed"Adam said.The seed easily embedded itself onto Muk and drained all it's energy.Ash's friends were getting worried.Adam kept knocking out Ash's Pokémon and Blastoise still wasn't called out.
"Muk,return.GO CHARIZARD!"screamed Ash,his by far largest Pokémno shot fire into the air,warming up.
"Fire won't help you.Venusaur Vine sweep!"ordered Adam.As Charizard spewed flames at Venusaur,it jumped to the side and using it's vine whip tripped Charizard over.It repeated this until it had slowed Charizard enough to bind it over the huge plant Pokémon's head."What's the matter Ash?The pressure getting to you?"joked Adam.Ash was growling softly through gritted teeth.Then Ash noticed Charizard's other type advantage over Venusaur.It's wings.
"Charizard,spin!"Ash yelled in desperation.With a mighty roar,Charizard used it's wings to spin and break free.But not before sending Venusaur into a wall."Fire Blast now!"The man shaped flame was too much for Venusaur,it fainted.Now Adam was really steamed.He took out a blue Pokéball after recalling Venusaur.The agents became quiet and gasped.They knew what was inside that Pokéball. . . and it wasn't nice.
"That's it,no more games.It's game over Ash.BLASTOISE I CHOOSE YOU!"shouted Adam,releasing his most powerful Pokémon.
