C. Cowboy: well, we're on the last stretch of the race.
Only a few chapters to go! But I am considering making this story the first
part of a trilogy. Tell me what you think. You can tell me now or wait till the
end. Now on with the show!
CHAPTER 10: BROTHER VS. BROTHER
Ash and the crew snuck around the corner, looking for
where the Dark Legion hid their Pokemon. "Pikachu!" Ash whispered as loud as he
could without being noticed, "Where the heck are you?" They slowly walked into
where they had the meeting a few hours earlier,
and it was now made up like a Pokemon battlefield with three
figures and two cages, one containing Pikachu and the other containing Togapi,
at the other end. "Well, It took you long enough Baby Bro." Said Mitch standing
on the other side of the field with Ash's Belt in his hand. "This was a setup?"
yelled Misty, as she was about to jump the older trainer. "OH NO! It wasn't a
setup, Mist, we were just a little taken by surprise by a traitor in our
ranks!" Amanda said coldly as two guards dragged a battered and beaten
Professor Oak out to the side of the field. Gary and Ash both were about to
explode with anger. Ash started to yell when Mitch cut him off. "Ya know what,
Ashley?" I've been keeping up with you the past few years, and I have to admit
you have become a pretty good trainer. Lets make a deal." Ash stared at him
with contempt, "I'm Listening." Mitch smiled, "Alright how about we have a
Pokemon battle, 4 on 4. If you win you get the keys and you can use them anyway
you see fit, and you all can go free." Mitch said while smirking. Misty was
starting to get worried, "Ash don't do it! It's a trick!" Misty cried as she
griped his shoulder, but Ash completely ignored her, "and if you win?" Mitch
just let out a laugh "WHEN I win we get the keys and make all your
Pokemon turn against you with the crown." Misty and the others stared at Ash
who had his head down going through all the possibilities. Ash finally looked
up with a smile on his face, "This has been a long time coming. I'm going to
put you in your place once and for all!" Mitch laughed in overconfidence and
tossed Ash his belt, and pressed a remote control that released Pikachu.
Pikachu ran up and jumped into Ash's arms, "I've missed you, too, Buddy, but
right now, we've got work to do."
Pikachu jumped from Ash's arms and landed silently by his
side, ready to enter the battlefield when he was called. Ash put his belt on
and smiled at his half brother, "Ready when you are." Amanda walked up to Mitch
and whispered, "Keep him occupied for five minutes and if he calls that
Pikachu, use Mewtwo; I don't think any of your Pokemon can match Pikachu's
power." Mitch looked shocked (no pun intended), "That little thing!" Amanda
smirked "Tell that to Team Rocket." Amanda walked to the side and Mitch turned
his attention to Ash. "OK, Bro. Lets get this over with. VENUSAUR, I CHOOSE
YOU!!!"
Mitch threw a Poke Ball that blew open and release a massive
Venusaur. "VENUS!!!" The behemoth bellowed as it made its battle pose. Ash smiled
and threw a poke ball "CENDAQUILL! I CHOOSE YOU!!!" the poke ball came open and
released a small mole-like Pokemon. "Quill!" yelled the little Pokemon as it
flared its back flames. "Venusaur! Vine whip!!" Mitch yelled as the gigantic
Pokemon launched four large vines out its side and whipped them at Cendaquill.
"CENDAQUILL, AGILITY THEN FIRE SPIN!!" Ash yelled. "Quill." Cendaquill uttered
as it jumped into the air to dodge the whips. While still in the air, it sent a
large stream of flames from its mouth that flew around Venusaur. The flames
continued to fly around the Pokemon making tighter and tighter circles, until
they finally made contact with the Pokemon and exploded. When the dust and
smoke settled, Venusaur laid on the ground charred and knocked out.
"Venusaur…return." Mitch said more then a little bit
surprised, "Amanda was right, the kid's better then I thought!" Mitch thought
as he reached for the next Poke Ball. "LAPRIS, I CHOOSE YOU!!" Mitch said as
the large ice type Pokemon appeared on the field. "ICE BEAM! NOW!!" Mitch
yelled not giving Ash time to recall his Cendaquill. Cendaquill didn't have
time to react and was frozen solid. "Cendaquill, return." The frozen Pokemon
then disappeared back into its Poke Ball. " 1 to 1, what you going to do now?"
Mitch bragged.
Ash just smiled as he threw another Ball. "Chikarita!
GO!" A small grass-type Pokemon
appeared in front of Ash. "Chikarita! Razor leaf! Now!!" Ash commanded.
"CHIKAA!" Yelled the small Pokemon as it sent several razor sharp leaves at
Mitch's Lapris. "Lapris, freeze the leaves with your Ice Beam!" the large sea
monster sent another Ice Beam at the oncoming projectiles. They all froze in
the air and fell to the ground. "OK LAPRIS FINISH IT WITH BODY SLAM!!" Lapris
then surprisingly jumped into the air and landed on the much smaller Pokemon.
When Lapris crawled off Chikarita was out cold. "Chikarita return. You did a
good job, girl, I'm proud of you." Ash then replaced the Poke Ball and looked
down at Pikachu. "Pikachu, you up for a battle?" Pikachu nodded, "Pi ka
Pikachu!" (Oh hell yeah!) Pikachu then jumped to the field with his cheeks
sparking. Mitch smirked "I'll show Amanda!" Mitch thought then threw his own
Poke ball, "GO ZAPDOS!" Ash's eyes went wide "When did you get THAT?" Ash
yelled, "That's my little secret." Ash then looked down at Pikachu, "We've got
one chance, get ready for a Ultra Shock." Pikachu nodded and began gathering
energy for its most powerful move. A large electric bubble formed around
Pikachu as the field began to shake. "Zapdos, hit it with your thunder shock."
Zapdos obeyed the command but the attacks were just absorbed into the bubble;
making it stronger. Zapdos continued to launch Thunder Shocks at the electric
mouse but every last one was absorbed into the bubble. Finally Pikachu threw
its head back and absorbed the bubble into his cheeks and aimed its head right
at Zapdos, smiled, and released the massive blast. "ZAPDOS, BLOCK IT WITH
THUNDER!! NOW!!" The electric bird sent out its most powerful attack at the
oncoming Ultra Shock. The two massive energy bolts met half way but nether
would give. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!" Yelled Mitch as he saw Pikachu begin
to over power the mighty bird. "Pikachu, MORE POWER!" yelled Ash as Pikachu
formed another mini bubble, absorbed it, and used it to increase its power.
Zapdos finally run out of electricity and was enveloped in the blast. The
legendary bird fell from the sky like a rock and hit the ground with a
sickening thud. Mitch stood there with his eyes and mouth wide, "N…NO WAY!!!"
Pikachu fell down to all fours and breathed heavily. "Good job Pikachu, return
and rest for a while." He said to his first Pokemon then looked at his older
half brother "I believe it's now one on one." Mitch returned the Pokemon and looked
back at Mewtwo, "Your up." Mewtwo floated to the ring but couldn't look at Ash
and Pikachu. Pikachu glared at Mewtwo, but Ash placed a hand on the Pokemon's
head, "You've done your job, it's time for my last resort." Mitch smirked at
Ash, "Let's see you top this guy." Ash put his hand in his jacket and pulled
out a Poke ball. "OK, LUGIA! I CHOOSE YOU!!!" then the mighty bird Pokemon
appeared in front of the spectators. The arena fell silent until Lugia broke
the silence by speaking to their minds, "Master, I await your commands."
TO BE CONTINUED…
C. Cowboy: the battle between the two Ketchum Brothers
continues into the next chapter as the fight of the century begins: LUGIA VS.
MEWTWO!!! I haven't decided the outcome of this match so if anyone has any
suggestions, feel free to tell me what you think. Until next time!
