Battle of the Leagues

Battle of the Leagues

     "Let's battle!" The announcer said. "Who's my opponent?" Ash says. "I Am." a boy said as he came out of the shadows. "Ritchie?!?" Misty and Brock were shocked. "Long time no see, Ritchie!" Ash said to him. "I agree! Have you gotten better these days?" Ritchie responds. "Of course!" Ash says to him. "Start it right now! 3 on 3 Pokemon Battle!" the announcer said, as he got impatient. "OK!!!" they say.

     "I choose you, Bulbasaur!" Ash shouts as he releases Bulbasaur out of its Poke ball. "And I choose you, Happy!" Ritchie shouts as a Butterfree came out of the Poke ball.

I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

     "Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!" Ash ordered Bulbasaur. "Happy, use your Whirlwind attack to blow it away!" Ritchie said as he also ordered Happy. The 2 leaves that Bulbasaur had launched towards Happy missed because of Happy's Whirlwind attack.

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside

     "What attack should I use now?" Ash whispers to himself. "I know! Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!" Ash says to Bulbasaur as he points at Happy. "Happy, Flash!" Ritchie tells Happy.

Pokémon!
It's you and me.
I know it's my destiny!
Pokémon!
Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend!

     "Now Bulbasaur absorb the light!" Ash says to Bulbasaur. Then, Bulbasaur absorbs the light and Bulbasaur fires a beam at Happy. "Oh no! Happy!" Ritchie says as he returns Butterfree to its Poke ball.

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all)
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all, yeah

                                              

     "I choose you, Zippo! Ritchie said as he let go the little fire Pokemon out of its Poke ball. "Return Bulbasaur. Go! Noctowl!" Ash says as he released the Owl-like Pokemon.

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle everyday
To claim my rightful place

     "Noctowl, Confusion attack!" Ash orders Noctowl. "Zippo, Fire Spin!" Ritchie ordered Zippo. Zippo's Fire Spin reached the air, which hits Noctowl. "Noctowl return!" Ash shouts. " Only one Pokemon left each!" the announcer announces.

Come with me the time is right
There's no better team
Arm and arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

     "Pikachu! Go!" "Sparky! Go! Ash and Ritchie say at the same time. "Sparky, Thunder Punch!" Ritchie commands Sparky. "Pikachu, use Agility!" Ash says to Pikachu. Pikachu was able to evade Sparky's Thunder Punch.

Pokémon!
It's you and me.
I know it's my destiny!
Pokémon!
Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend!

     "Sparky use your strongest attack, Thunder!" Ritchie tells him. Bolts of Thunder go toward Pikachu.

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all)
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all, yeah

     "Pikachu, use Zap-Cannon!" Ash says to Pikachu. Ritchie was terribly shocked. Sparky fainted after receiving damage.

Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all, yeah

     "Ash has won!" the announcer shouts out. "Hooray for Ash!" Misty, Brock, Tracey and Todd cheer for Ash. "I'm happy for you, Ash." Ritchie told him. "Thanks Ritchie" Ash replies.

Pokémon!
It's you and me.
I know it's my destiny!
Pokémon!
Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend!

     "Ash is it okay to come with you?" Ritchie asked Ash. "Sure! The more the merrier!" Ash replied. "Ash Ketchum, the winner for this round.

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all)
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all

     Ash does a pose holding Pikachu just like he always does.

Pokemon!

And so Ash wins another battle and meets an old friend. Their Journey will continue and no one knows what's bound to happen.

On the next Episode/Chapter, it's Misty's turn to battle.
