hardest battles.
Episode XV
Ultimate, and the Electric/Psychic Showdown!
Jay Barial
Chapter One: Welcome Back!
Jay, alone, walked into Current City and was greeted with a-
"Where's Ultra?"
"Huh?" wondered Jay. He turned to see Dee and Agua. "Hey guys, welcome back, I have so much to tell you two what happened while I was away."
"Where's Ultra?" Agua and Dee repeated.
Jay sighed. He told his story of how Ultra and Ultimate ran into their family, and Team Rocket, and they decided to stay here.
"You did what?!" exclaimed Agua.
"What?!" shouted Dee.
"Well, I thought it'd be best if Ultra and Ultimate stayed with their family instead of traveling around the world with me." Jay sighed. But then he perked up. "But, I want to show you something!" He grabbed five Super Balls. "My Pokémon. Talon evolved into-"
Out popped: "Wing, wing eeeeerrr!" Winger.
"-And my Flame evolved into-"
Out popped: "Flaaaaaare!" Flare.
"-While Static Orb changed into-"
Out popped: "Elect, tric orb!" Electric Orb.
"-Also, Bulk evolved into the might-"
Out popped: "Attack, attack, attack, attacker!" Attacker.
"-And finally, my first Pokémon I caught, Double, has evolved into-"
Out popped: "Morph, morph, morph, morpher!" Morpher.
"Yeah," said Dee, "well my Fire Orb evolved into Solar Orb at the Electric/Psychic Gym here."
"Yep," said Agua, "and my Water Orb evolved into Ice Orb at that gym too! Ha! Not only your Pokémon evolved!"
He glared at his two old allies. "Yeah, well my Pokémon can handle this-" Jay held up his hand and gave the quotation sign "-Gym."
Agua and Dee laughed.
"After what we went through to get this badge, I don't think you'll be able to scratch his Pokémon," they both replied.
"Alright," said Jay. "Who's gym leader of this gym?"
"They call him, Ultram," said Dee. "His about our age. And his parent named it Ultram because when he was born, his Super Pokémon, Ultra, was just born with him."
"Ah, whoa," said Jay, "I don't care! Take me to this Ultram's gym."
Agua snorted. "Jay's as annoying Ultram himself." She sighed. "Follow me, you ex-Ultra trainer."
Jay glared. "Drop it Agua."
Chapter Two: Trainer Battle
Jay, Agua, and Dee stepped into the gym.
"Hello," called Jay, "anyone home?"
"I am!" Out stepped a girl also around Jay's age.
Jay's jaw dropped. "That's Ultram. I didn't know that Ultram was a she."
"Neither did I," said Agua.
Dee bopped Jay and Agua. "That's not Ultram you two. That's probably just someone who works at the gym."
She nodded. "Jesse's the name. Beating chumps like you is my game."
Jay glared. "I challenge you in a Pokémon match!"
Jesse grabbed a Poké Ball. "You'll be sorry. I choose you, Pikachu!"
Out of the Poké Ball popped out a Pikachu. "Pika!"
"Yeah," said Jay. "Electric Orb, I, choose, you!"
Then, out of the Super Ball appeared Jay's new Electric Orb.
"Ah, an Electric Orb," said Jesse. "Well in that case, Pikachu, use your agility swift attack!"
"Electric Orb, teleport." Jay nodded.
"Elect!" Electric Orb teleported away, but as it did, Pikachu jumped towards Electric Orb and used swift. Electric Orb fell to the ground.
"What the-" began Jay. "Electric Orb, return!" He grabbed another Super Ball. "Winger, I choose you!" Jay threw the Super Ball, and out of the ball flew his new Winger
"Ah, a Winger, not too smart." Jesse smirked. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!"
"Piiikaaa. . . ." Pikachu began charging up. "Chuuuuuuuu!" Electricity shot out from Pikachu and hit Winger. In a blink of an eye, Winger hit the floor.
Jay gasped. "Winger, return. Now you're asking for it! I choose you Flare!"
Flare came out of the Super Ball.
"This is too easy," said Jesse. "Pikachu, return. I choose you, Ultra!" Out popped an Ultra. "Ultra thunder shocker now. Remember, Flare's water type too!"
"Ult-TRA!" Electricity shot from Ultra and hit Flare hard.
"Flare, get up, and attack," said Jay. But, Flare didn't move.
"He's paralyzed," said Dee. "Call it back.
"Return Flare," said Jay. He sighed. "I . . I give up."
Chapter Three: Jay versus Ultram
Jay rushed out of the gym and ran as fast as he could to the Pokémon Center. Down shot a Pidgeot and perched on Jay's shoulder.
"Pidgeot," said Jay, gasping for air as he stopped. "My Pokémon are hurt. I have a Winger, Flare, and Electric Orb."
Pidgeot nodded. He grasped Winger and Electric Orb's Super Ball in it's talons, and Flare's Super Ball in it's beak.
* * * *
After Jay's Pokémon were all healed, he, Dee, and Agua headed towards the gym again.
Jay stomped into the gym. "I'm back!"
"Huh?" said a young voice. "Who are you?"
"Name's Jay," Jay replied simply. "I'm here for and official battle against the gym leader of Current City. Where is Ultram?"
The kid stepped up. "I'm Ultram. And I except your challenge. I heard from Jesse that she defeated you faster than the speed of light."
"Oh yeah," said Jay, "you better just surrender now, or you'll lose the fight!"
"For some odd reason, I strongly want to say, 'That's riiiiight,'" said Dee.
* * * *
Ultram and Jay stood in the main battling area.
"Four Pokémon each," said Ultram. "I'll start with - Pikachu, I choose you!" Ultram threw a Poké Ball the contained a Pikachu.
"Oh yeah," said Jay. "My turn. I choose you, Ivytortle!" Jay grabbed a Super Ball, and revealed his Ivytortle.
"Ah, a plant Pokémon," said Jesse. "Looks like you're getting smarter since we last battle. But remember, it's a water type too."
"Ivytortle, tackle attack!" ordered Jay.
"Agility swift attack," said Ultram.
"Pika!" Pikachu came running fast at Ivytortle, while using it's swift attack. Ivytortle didn't even get it's chance to attack.
"Ivytortle, freeze whip," suggested Jay. "Don't give up!"
Ivytortle's vines shot and, and started slapping Pikachu around. Soon, Pikachu was nearly half frozen.
"Now Ivytortle, vine grip," commanded Jay.
Ivytortle's vine rapped around Pikachu.
"Pikachu, thunderwave," said Ultram.
"Pika chu!" Electricity shot through Ivytortle's vines, and paralyzed him.
"Ivytortle!" cried Jay. "Return!" Ivytortle popped back into the Super Ball. "I choose you, Morpher!" Jay threw another Super Ball and out of the ball appeared the giant transformation Pokémon.
"Morph!" it growled.
"Pikachu return!" In popped Pikachu. "I choose you Ultra!" Out came Ultram's Ultra. "Ultra, thunder shocker."
"Morpher, multiply!" Out popped two Morphers. "Morpher 1, alter attack. Transform into a mix between Ivytortle and Pikachu. Morpher 2, transform into Golem!"
"Morph!" The two Morphers began to glow, and turned into Golem and the mix between Pikachu and Ivytortle.
"Tra!" cried Ultra.
"Morpher 1, electric whip," said Jay. "Morpher 2, rock throw."
Morpher 1's vine started whipping Ultra, leaving sparks of electricity behind while Morpher 2 throw itself up into the air, and landed on Ultra.
Ultram glared at Jay. "Return Ultra." The injured Ultra shot back into the Super Ball. "Multiply is a cheap trick. But now, Raichu, I choose you!" Out popped the big evolved form of Pikachu.
"Morpher, return to normal state and become one once again!" The Morpher returned to being normal Morphers and went back together to create their normal form. "Return!" Morpher popped back into it's Super Ball. "Against Raichu I choose Electric Orb!" Out of the Super Ball popped out Electric Orb.
Chapter Four: Uh oh. . . .
"Raichu, thunderwave!" said Ultram.
"Rai . . . chu!" Electricity hit Electric Orb, paralyzing it for a few seconds.
"Raichu, body slam," commanded Ultram.
"Raaaaai!" shouted Raichu. It raised itself up into the air and attempted to slam down onto Electric Orb. But instead, ended up hitting the other side of Electric Orb.
"Remember," said Jay, "Electric Orb is also known as the Electric Ghost."
Ultram glared. "I forgot. Electric Orb's also a ghost Pokémon. Raichu's stronger with it's fighting attacks. Return Raichu!" Raichu popped into it's Poké Ball. "But, my final Pokémon will never lose to your Pokémon and that is- Ultimate I choose you!" Ultram threw a Super Ball, revealing the evolved form of Ultra. This was Ultram's first Pokémon.
"Electric Orb, thunder shocker," said Jay.
"Elect!" Electricity hit Ultimate, but it didn't seem to effected.
"Ultimate, let's show him a real thunder shocker," said Ultram.
"Ultiiii," Ultimate charged up, "MATE!"
The electricity hit Electric Orb hard.
"Electric Orb!" cried Jay. "NO!" He grabbed a Super Ball. "Return now!" Electric Orb shot back into it's ball.
"Who's my last victim?" asked Ultram.
Electric Orb, Morpher, and Ivytortle are too weak to battle, thought Jay. Flare and Tentacle are water Pokémon, so they'll surely lose. Winger's no good. Bulk wouldn't be able to handle the psychic attacks. So I guess that means. . . . "Puffy, I choose you!"
Out popped Jay's Puffy.
"Your Puffy's your best beat?" Ultram and Jesse laughed.
Agua snickered alittle. Dee nudged her.
"Ultimate, thundershock," said Ultram.
"Sing Puffy," said Jay.
"Puff, fie, fie puff, pu-" But, Ultimate's electricity hit Puffy hard stopping it from finishing it's song.
Ultram snickered. "Ah, the little boy's Puffy's hurt."
"Oh yeah," said Jay, "Puffy, minimize."
Puffy glowed, and shrunk down to size.
"Ha," said Ultram. "I raised my Ultimate from an Ultra! It knows all of it's important attacks: it's electric and fighting ones! Body slam!"
"Ti!" Ultimate raised itself up into the air and slammed down around the spot Puffy would be.
"Fie!" came a faint voice.
"Return Puffy!" Puffy shot back into it's Super Ball. Jay sighed. "That's four Pokémon, huh?"
****WHO'S THAT POKéMON: MTEALUIT?****
Chapter Five: A Flaw. . . .
****IT'S ULTIMATE! "Ult ti mate aaa!"****
Jay rushed to the Pokémon center. The same Pidgeot that had been there before shot down and grabbed the Super Balls Jay was holding.
"Thanks," said Jay.
Within an hour, Jay's Pokémon still weren't back to normal.
Jay sighed. He, Dee, and Agua were waiting in the center, watching Pokémon carrying Pokémon walk/fly back and forth.
Jay began to cry. "I don't have any other Pokémon that I could use against Ultram's Pokémon! All my other Pokémon would faint after two attacks at the most! I don't know what to do! If only Ultra were here to help."
"You can use some of our Pokémon you want," said Agua.
Jay thought about that for a moment and stopped crying. "Hey, thanks guys." He saw a mental battle with Jay using one of Agua's Pokémon. Then he remember that she had water Pokémon that would faint faster than the speed of light. He began crying again.
"You can use one of my Pokémon," said Dee. She handed him a Super Ball. "Rocky's your best bet!"
Jay imaged Rocky fighting against Ultimate. His electric attacks wouldn't hurt Rocky. . . but his psychic attacks would. Jay continued crying.
A nurse came out. "Jay, your Pokémon are back to normal. I'd like to suggest never to let your Pokémon get harmed ever again."
"But I was battling Ultram, the gym leader around here," replied Jay. "He beat up my Pokémon badly, well, except for Morpher."
"Your Puffy looked really bad," said the nurse. "As did your Electric Orb and Ivytortle. What attacks did you use on them?"
Jay thought for a moment. "Ivytortle used it's vine attacks. Electric Orb used it's electric attacks. Puffy used it's minimize attack and sing attack. Morpher all it's attacks. Why?"
The nurse smiled. "You must remember that Electric Orb also has psychic and ghost abilities. Ghost are strong against psychic-type and psychic Pokémon are strong against fighting-type. Ivytortle must be careful to never leave it's shell or any other water body parts available for attack. Only grass and poison attacks. Do not use wrap or vine grip, unless you want Ivytortle to faint. I'm not sure what to tell you about Puffy, but your Morpher did great."
Dee smiled. "See Jay, you can get around the trainer."
"But, what about Puffy?" wondered Jay.
The nurse fished around in her pocket. She showed Jay a stone. "It's the psychic stone. It makes a Puffy evolve into a Tuffy."
Jay frowned. "I don't like forcing my Pokémon to evolve. I really don't like forcing my Pokémon to evolve just for battling."
"Then what are we going to do?" asked Agua.
Dee smiled. "I think I've found Ultram's big flaw. I'm surprised you didn't see it before Jay."
Jay raised an eyebrow. "There's a flaw?"
Dee smiled and whispered it to Jay. "Hey, that's a good idea!"
Chapter Six: Jay's Back!
"I'm back!" shouted Jay, as he entered the gym.
Jesse, who was training her new Static Orb, sighed. "For a third time?" She snickered. "Jay, you don't have a chance."
"Every Pokémon has a chance," growled Jay. "It's just how you attack."
Dee and Agua had decided they'd best stay outside during this battle, so Jay came walking into the gym, alone.
Jesse yelled, "Hey Ultram! Jay's back!"
Jay stood at one end of the battling arena and Ultram stood on the other.
"It's time for your final defeat," growled Ultram.
"You wish." Jay snickered. "Go Ultram and choose a Pokémon."
"You'll be sorry," growled Ultram. "Pikachu, go!"
Ultram threw a Poké Ball that revealed, "Pika, CHU!"
"I choose you Ivytortle," said Jay.
Jay threw a Super Ball that revealed, "IVY!"
"Ah, your Ivytortle," said Ultram. "Why don't you just hand it over to me, and I'll be able to train it better."
"Ivytortle, freeze whip," commanded Jay.
"Ivy!" Ivytortle's vines shot out and repetitively hit Pikachu.
"Pikachu, thunderbolt," ordered Ultram.
"Pika. . . ." Pikachu began to spark- "CHU!" Electricity hit Ivytortle's plant, but wasn't too effected.
"Ivytortle tortle, tortle," growled Ivytortle. It's vine began to shoot back in but-
"Ivytortle, continue," said Jay.
Ultram raised an eyebrow. "Pikachu, agility."
"Ivytortle, we're going to haveta speed up," said Jay. "Don't loose track of Pikachu and don't let it confuse."
"Tortle!" Ivytortle's vines shot all around whipping Pikachu. Soon, Pikachu was very weak.
"Ivytortle, sleep powder," said Jay.
Ivytortle's vines shot back into it's shell/plant and powder shot from the plant part of it's back. It fell upon Pikachu, and Pikachu nodded off.
Ultram gasped. "Pikachu, return!" Pikachu popped back in. He grabbed a Super Ball. "Ultra, attack!" Out of the Super Ball popped out Ultram's Ultra.
"Ivytortle return!" Ivytortle popped back into it's Super Ball. Jay grabbed another one. "Go, Morpher!" He threw a Super Ball and out came Morpher.
"Ultram, thunderbolt it now," said Ultram. "Paralyze so it can't attack!"
"Morpher, multiply," commanded Jay.
Ultra's electricity just missed Morpher as it split into two.
"Grrr," growled Ultram.
"Morpher 1, alter attack! Transform into a mix between Ivysaur and Rocker," commanded Jay. "Morpher 2, transform into Golem!"
"Morph!" The two Morphers changed into the rock-like Pokémon.
"But, but," moaned Ultram, "they're both rock Pokémon. . . That's not fair! All my Ultra knows is electric attacks!"
Jay smirked. He wondered if it were surfacing to Ultram Jay's plan.
"Morpher 1, dig! Morpher 2, rock slide!"
The first Morpher shot into the ground while the second slid on the ground, and bashed into Ultra.
"Ultra, get up and fight back," ordered Ultram.
"Morpher 1, now!" shouted Jay.
Morpher 1 shot up from the ground and sent Ultram's Ultra flying.
"Return Ultra!" The badly injured Ultra returned to it's Super Ball. Ultram glared. He grabbed a Poké Ball. "I choose, Raichu!"
"Morphers return to your normal state and go back together." The two Morpher returned to being Morphers and went back together. "Return!" It returned to it's Super Ball. "Alright, I choose you-"
Chapter Seven: Raichu versus Electric Orb!
"-Electric Orb!"
Electric Orb hovered over the arena while Raichu looked up at it.
"Raichu, remember, it's a ghost Pokémon," said Ultram. "Raichu, agility."
Raichu shot all around Electric Orb. Electric Orb ignored Raichu and waited for it's orders.
"Electric Orb, flash!" shouted Jay.
"ORB!" A large light flashed off of Electric Orb. Raichu stopped using it's agility because it couldn't see anything.
"Raichu, body slam," commanded Ultram.
Jay just smiled.
"Rai-chu!" Raichu tried to slam into Electric Orb, but missed and landed on the ground.
"Night shade," said Jay.
Waves shot off of Electric Orb and it Raichu.
"Raichu!" cried Ultram. "Flash attack now!"
"RAI!" Raichu sent a flash of light just as Electric Orb had done. Electric Orb was blinded.
"Electric Orb!" cried Jay. "Electric Orb, try using confusion."
Electric Orb glowed brightly and as did Raichu. Raichu was lifted up into the air with nothing but Electric Orb's thoughts.
"Raichu!" cried Ultram. He sighed. "Raichu's health is really low. Raichu, high jump kick!"
"Rai-chu!" Raichu jumped up at the blind Electric Orb and kicked the poor thing. As Raichu landed, it hit the floor hard.
"Your Raichu hurt itself in the fall." Jay snickered.
"Return Raichu!" Raichu shot back into it's Super Ball. "Now you're asking for it. Ultram calls, Ultimate!"
"Electric Orb, return!" Electric Orb shot back into it's Super Ball. Jay sighed. "Now what can I use."
Chapter Eight: A Trained Pokémon Against
A Badly Trained Pokémon
"Well Jay?" Ultram smiled. "Ah, are you going to wimp out."
"What can I use?" whispered Jay.
Agua and Dee ran into the gym. "Ultra!"
The glass ceiling above Jay and Ultram broke. Down fell the one, the only, the mighty, ULTRA!
"Ultra!" cried Jay. "You're back! And just in time to beat this loser Ultimate!"
Ultra used it's psychic powers to lower itself down onto the ground. "Ultra!"
"I missed you too old buddy," said Jay.
"It's time to battle!" growled Ultram. "Use your Ultra if you wish."
"Ultra I choose you!" Ultra stepped up to the bigger Ultimate.
"Ultimate, thunder shocker!" growled Ultram.
"Ultra, teleport!" Ultra teleported away from Ultram's Ultimate's thunder shockers.
"But, how can an Ultra do that?" wondered Ultram.
Jay smiled. "You had a big flaw in training it Ultram. Ultra and Ultimate are psychic Pokémon."
Ultram's jaw dropped. "Ultimate, counter attack!"
"Psytoss." Jay smiled.
Ultimate came running at Ultra but Ultra used his psychic powers to fling Ultimate up into the air.
"Now Ultra," said Jay, "finish it off. Psyblast!"
"TRA!" Ultra psychic powers exploded in tense fury power.
Ultimate fell to the ground.
"Return Ultimate!" Ultimate shot back into it's Super Ball.
Chapter Nine: What To Do Next?
Ultram's jaw dropped again. "You, you beat my best. And so easily. And I lost to a loser like you."
Dee snickered. "Looks like you're the loser, huh Ultram?"
Ultram glared. "Just because I lost to you-"
"And my water Pokémon," added in Agua.
Ultram frowned. "Looks like it's time for me to hand over the gym to my dear ally Jesse."
Jesse's jaw dropped. "You're giving the mighty gym to me?!"
Ultram nodded. "I'm going to journey off."
Jay looked at Dee. "You two must be related."
Dee rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right."
Jay looked back at Ultram. "Where's my badge Ultram?"
Ultram gave Jay his badge. Jay smiled. "Yep. I'm on a roll now. I have the Ultra Badge!"
"Oh boy," mumbled Agua.
Dee smiled. "Hey Ultram, wanna join us on our Pokémon journey."
Jesse snickered. "If you do join them Ultram, I feel really sorry for you."
Jay glared at Jesse. She just grinned.
"Sure," said Ultram. "Why not. My going to leave my Raichu and Ultra here. Pikachu and Ultimate are going to join us on our journey."
"Oh boy," repeated Agua.
* * * *
After taking a quick visit to the Pokémon Center, Jay, Agua, Dee, Ultram, and Ultra headed out to the beach.
It had just dawned to Dee that something didn't happen. "Hey, where's Kelly, Mike, and Nick? Did Team Rocket skip this episode or something?"
Jay smiled. "I guess so. Don't whine about it Dee."
"Yeah," agreed Agua. "We needed a break from them anyway."
"What to do next?" wondered Ultram.
Jay smirked. "It's almost Christmas and holiday time! I saw we should return home, then come back to Current City afterwards."
Dee, Agua, and Ultram all nodded.
"Tra ra!" shouted Ultra happily.
* * * *
Kelly, Mike, Nick, and Fire Kat had four more tickets left for the journey on the AngelFire they were planning to attack. It would be a battle they'd never forget. Finally, Team Rocket would win, and Jay and the others wouldn't.
