"Mega punch!"ordered

Adam.Blastoise took a swing at Charizard but missed and the fire Pokémon

grabbed its fist.

"Charizard,Seismic Toss!"Ordered Ash.Charizard took off,holding

Blastoise tightly.As soon as it was high enough,Charizard lopped around and

we see an image of the Earth in the back ground.Ash looked at Adam to gloat

but stopped when he saw a grin on his face as he looked up. "I'v studied

you Ash, I know this trick anywhere.BLASTOISE,COUNTER!"yelled Adam.Blastoise

tucked itself into it's shell so Charizard lost it's grip and popped out

again to Skull Bash Charizard downwards.Charizard startted to straighten but

got pushed down by a Hyder pump and slammed into the arena floor creating a

huge crator.Charizard had delt with worst but didn't have a chance as

Blastoise came crashing down with a Body Slam. "CHARIZARD LOSES,BLATOISE WINS!"

announced the voice.Ash was devastated as he recalled his Pokémon.He looked

down at his leg where a terrified Pikachu was trembling.Pikachu was Ash's last

Pokémon. "Pikachu,I know you're scared.But you can do this.

You've beaten Pokémon bigger,stronger and with the advantage than you,Blatoise

is just another Pokémon"assured Ash.



"Huh,Blastoise isn't just another Pokémon.It's my friend,we've gone

through many troubles"defended Adam.He remembered when Blastoise was just a

Squirtle and a loose wire in the city started shocking it.Ember had told Adam

it was too dangerous,but he ran in and took the shock with Squirtle.Even

trying to take the brunt of it,all because he didn't want it to be hurt.Then

When Squirtle was losing to a Poliwrath,it evolved into Wartortle and won.

Then again when Adam was fighting Team Rocket,they had tied him up and

thrown him into the sea.Wartortle popped out of it's Pokéball and tried to save Adam

but was too weak.It evolved into Blastoise to save Adam.

"Blastoise is just as important to me as Ember,which is saying a lot"

said Adam,peeved at Ash's comment. "'He loves Blastoise as much as i love

Pikachu.He really is my brother'Ash thought to himself.

"Ok Pikachu,this is it.I choose you"Ash said.Pikachu sucked up it's

courage and jumped into the stadium."Thundershock!"commanded Ash.Pikachu gave

a huge Thundershock to Blastoise and there was even an explosion.Everyone

thought it was over but the bubbles hitting Pikachu told a differnt story.

"You think electric attacks are going to work?I don't think so Ash"

mocked Adam.



"Ahh Pikachu,run"yelled Ash,Pikachu used it's Agility to avoid Blastoise's

attack's.It Mega punched,it Body Slammed,and Watered gunned but was a little

too slow and missed.

"Tackle it"said Adam.Blastoise used it's cannons to use a super fast

tackle on Pikachu.Pikachu hit the dirt rolling and looked pretty bad.

"It was a good match while it lasted Ash.But now it's over,HYDRO PUMP!"

shouted Adam.Blatoise's cannons erupted with gallons of water heading straight

for Pikachu.Ash panicked,Pikachu couldn't move.Then,he remembered when he

helped a sleeping Blastoise from Jigglypuff.

"PIKACHU,THUNDERBOLT THE WATER!"Shouted Ash at the top of his lungs.

Pikachu charged up and fired.

"What is he?Oh no.BLastoise quick withdraw,cut the water"yelled Adam.

Realizing what Ash was doing.But it was too late,the huge Thunderbolt had

traveled through the water and into the soft insides of Blastoise which was

unprotected.Blastoise roared it's pain before falling to the ground.

"NOOOO BLASTOISE!"screamed Adam.He jumped off his podium and ran over

to Blastoise,who was very badly hurt."Are you ok?Can you move?Blastoise!"Adam

asked worriedly,tears burning in his eyes.A couple of Chansey's and a Machamp

helped Blastoise onto a steel stretcher.Adam could understand most of his

Pokémon and talked to them a lot.

"*I'm sorry.I failed you*"said Blastoise as it was being wheeled off,

Adam following.

"No Blastoise,I'm sorry.I shoud have known Ash would do that.It's my

fault you,one of my closet friends got hurt.Please forgive me"asked Adam,guilt

eating at him for his mistake.Blastoise smiled.

"*I forgive you.Now,beat that Pikachu for me*"said Blastoise.

"I promise I'll win.For you my friend"vowed Adam,before Blastoise fainted.

"I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THIS BUT,BLASTOISE HAS LOST.PIKACHU WINS!"

Ash and Pikachu were feeling really bad for doing that to Blastoise. . . to

Adam.He was really upset,but that wasn't clear as he went back to his podium.

"Blastoise was betaen by the Pokémon Master of the world's best Pokémon.

I couldn't have picked a better choice.I promised Blastoise i would win this.

. . and I will"Adam said to the crowd,eyes downcast.He took out his last Pokéball

and released Pikapal onto the podium.He knelt down and talked to it.

"Pikapal,you're my last hope.I know Pikachu is a lot stronger than you.

But you know that i have always wanted to battle Ash and this means a lot to

me.Also, I feel if I beat Ash. . .I'll also be able to beat Team Rocket.I know

you and Blastoise are close friends and i promiced i would win.Will you help me?"

asked Adam,gently.

"*For Blastoise,and for you*"Pikapal squeaked,jumping into the stadium.

'Thank you buddy'Adam thought to himself before pulling himself together.

"Go Pikachu,tackle attack!"cried Ash.Pikapal jumped over Pikachu as it came by.

"Thundershock!"ordered Adam,the size and speed of it's attack was impressive

for a Pokémon of it's size.Pikachu however had more powerful attacks and wore down

the smaller Pichu.The match went on with the two muse Pokémon trying to shock each other.

Pikapal was smaller and avoided easier and planted the most hits on Pikachu.



However,Pikachu's stronger electric attack took a lot out of Pikapal.Then at

a turning point,Pikapal challenged Pikachu to an 'Electric Race'(EPM-See

Pikachu's Vaction for details)Pikachu accepted and the too charged around the arena,

cheek-to-cheek.Pikapal had a plan,it absorbed all the electric sparks from

Pikachu and the static as they ran.He stored it until it had enough.Pikapal

stopped suddenly and Pikachu kept running.Pikapal was now glowing.

"Great idea Pikapal,Now White Lightning Rush!"ordered Adam.Pikapal

darted at Pikachu,who turned around just in time to be tackled and shocked.

"PIKACHU!"yelled Ash,Misty could see Ash was worried sick as both

Pokémon lay having difficulty getting up.Pikapal had drained all of it's

electric reserves and was nackered.Pikachu was hurt by the latest attack but

being an electric type it survived.It got up,panting.

"All right Pikachu,now tackle it and we've won"cheered Ash,sencing

victory yet again.Adam was more worried about Pikapal.It had outdone itself

today and Adam was very proud,but the cost was that Pikapal could barly move

and Pikachu was closing in.

"I can't do it,Pikapal can't do it.I'v lost"Adam said coldly to himself.

Ember had over heard him and set him straight.

"You can do it.If my Charizard could beat Ditto then Pikapal can beat

Pikachu"assured Ember,her beautifal blue eyes filled with trust.And Adam could

always rely on Ember.

"Sand-attack Pikapal!"cried Adam in hope.Using it's tail,Pikapal

knocked up a cloud of sand,blinding Pikachu.Ash was stressed out at the delays.

"That's it,Pikachu....THUNDER NOW!"shouted Ash.Adam gasped.Thunder was

any electric Pokémon's strongest attack.Pikachu used the last bit of it's energy

and sent it up into the heavens,A storm cloud grew and sent spikes of lightning

into the cloud of dust,blasting more sand up.

"What have I done?"Ash asked himself.The two brothers looked with their

eyes fixed on the cloud,waiting for it to settle.Thought of their Pokémon

badly hurt flooded their minds.



Finally,the dust settled,and outside a crater was the still figures of Pikapal

and Pikachu.The voice was about to call the match a draw but then,one of them started

moving.It was Pikapal.

"PIKAPAL IS THE WINNER.ADAM AND PIKAPAL WIN THE MATCH!!"yelled the bodyless

voice.The arena burst from cheers from Adam fellow agents.He turned to be tackled by

Ember,as she hugged him tight.He was very happy(EPM_Partly because he was

holding Ember -_^)

"I knew you could do it"she whispered.Adam blushed.

"I couldn't have done it without you,or Pikapal"relied Adam.At that

moment,a very happy but hurt Pikapal ran up and hopped into it's masters waiting

arms.
"I'm very proud of you Pikapal.And so is Blastoise by the looks of it"

said Adam,as he looked over at the side-lines where a bandaged Blastoise was

clapping and cheering.Meanwhile,Ash was picking up his fallen best friend who had just awoken.

"*Are you mad I lost?"whimpered Pikachu,it's fur blacked from electric

attacks.Ash smiled.For once,he wasn't mad that he lost because he lost to his

brother.

"No,I'm very proud of how you beat Adam's strongest Pokémon.Only you

could do that"he whispered,before gently hugging Pikachu.

"Hey,Ash"said a soft from behind.Ash turned around to be glomped

by Misty.

"You did great out there.I don't care that you lost,you're already a

winner in my eyes Ash Ketchum"sniffed Misty,who was crying into Ash's shoulder.

"Thanks Mist.That means a lot to me"he replied,enjoying holding Misty

in his arms as the rest of his friends joined him.After he thanked them for their support he saw

Adam nearby with Pikapal on his shoulder,waiting for him.He went over and stood

in front of him.Adam told him that Pikapal said that while it and Pikachu were

in the sand strorm,the Thunder was out of control and was going to hit them

both.Pikapal pushed Pikachu out of the way and the explosion knocked them so

Pikapal landed on top of Pikachu,which was enough to win.Pikachu confirmed this.

"I was very arrogant back there.I'm sorry Ash"apologized Adam,sheepishly

putting his hand behind his head.

"And I'm sorry i took your Blastoise and Pikapal for granted.They're both

great Pokémon"said Ash,smiling.Adam held his hand to Ash.Ash looked at it and back

at Adam.He grabbed it and pulled each other in a brotherly hug.The crowd was

waiting to see the reaction of the two and when they hugged,agent and trainer alike cheered on

and celebrated and Pikapal and Pikachu danced together.



Then,Mrs Ketchum ran up and hugged both her sons.

"Oh my baby boys are together again.I'm so happy"she cried,hugging

the life out of them both.

"Moooom,people are staring.We can hug when i visit you guys"whined Adam,

red with embarrassment.Ash and his mom looked at Adam with shocked faces.

"Y-you mean that?"asked Ash,tears in his eyes.Adam looked like backing out,but then he saw Ember's

face,nodding.It was the right thing to do.

Adam and Ash needed.The Ketchum family grouped hugged and walk out of the

P.A.T.A stadium with cheers from the crowd and friends following.

"Adam?"asked Ash,carrying Pikachu on his head.

"Yeah little bro?"said Adam,playing with Pikapal and Blastoise.

"I want a rematch you know"he smirked.Adam pulled his cap over his eyes

and grabbed him in a headlock.

"Some day squirt,some day"
