Hiro Gold, or as his friends teased him "Silver" was never really into Pokemon. He loved movies and the TV. He desperately wanted to be like his father, an actor, he is nine and a half years old. He refused to even give Pokemon a chance. However his older brother at 26 named Fred, and his girlfriend Kim, dragged him along in one final attempt to appreciate there craft. He did not plan on rooting for either side, but felt pity for Ash because while not dead, Hiro's dad was pertinently disabled. However Hiro's dad suffered an injury while acting. Also Hiro's dad loved his career so much, so Hiro could tell just by looking at old movies. He was also very famous when ever introduced to a new person he would always ask if he had any relation to Kevin Gold. He would here adults rave about how his dad was so popular. While he not always enjoyed acting he was determined to become as popular and as rich as his father, and he felt movie stars are more popular and make more money then Pokemon Trainers. However he did decide to use the ticket he bought to watch the match. "Isn't this exciting ask his older brother." While Hiro was excited, he didn't want to so it.

"What, I haven't seen a Pokemon yet."

"We are live," the radio announcer said. "In front of a sold out of crowd of thousands of people, and millions of people over the airways. I am Robert Dirgnog the Channel 8 Pokemon announcer for Pallet Town tonight Ash Ketchum battles the Elite Four. What will be Ash's first Pokemon?"

"Wartortle go," commanded Ash.

"Ah a shell brain," go Lapras. Lapras appeared from its Pokeball. Lapras used Confusion Ray, Wartortle tried to dodge it but the most feared Ray of all trainers managed to hit Wartortle. He looked dizzy and for a moment and was dazled by Lorelei's beauty. It looked to everyone that he was totally unaware of Lapras's Solarbeam.

Fortunately Ash was. "Wartortle underground." In a spilt second the Solarbeam was fired. But in a half a spilt second Wartortle responded. She popped out behind Lapras and quickly gave three Skull Bashes and a Rapid Spin. Lapras took off into the water and Wartortle followed. A screen appeared to show what was happening in the central pool. Wartortle and Lapras tried Ice Beams and then tried to Tackle each other. Finally Lapras relaxed Wartortle with a Sing attack before paralyzing her with a Body Slam. She then leaped out and shot a Thunderbolt into the water. For a moment it appeared Lapras had won. But Wartortle leaped out. "Time finish it," yelled a very annoyed Lorelei, "Thunderbolt."

"I couldn't agree more, Reversal" replied Ash. Lapras shot out his Thunderbolt. Wartortle withdrew to its shell and began to spin. The Thunderbolt bounced back at Lapras. But Wartortle just kept spinning faster and faster until it shot out a powerful Hydro Pump, knocking the 600 pound Pokemon on its back, and out of the match. Lorelei was shocked and the crowd erupted, everyone including the Gym Leaders. Lorelei was so shocked Bruno took her place. He chose a giant Onyx Ash was familiar with, he watched Bruno catch the house size Rock Snake, and unfortunately it hadn't exactly went on a diet. Wartortle tried another Hydro Pump but it was too weak to move fast enough Onyx elevated Wartortle and whipped it with its tail straight into the wall at high speed, Ash's advantage lasted less then a minute.

"Don't worry we are not in trouble yet, Bulbasaur your turn." Several member of the crowd laughed at the un-evolved Pokemon but Bulbasaur was not about to go out without a fight.

"Onix, Tackle, Iron Tail combo aging." Onix flung Bulbasaur up but this time Bulbasaur used its Vine Whip to stay close to Onix. Onix nearly ended up in a knot. And after a few moments of confusion Bulbasaur ended up tying itself to the back of Onix. "Hang on, Bulbasaur and you can fire Razor Leaves all night if need be."

"I'm impress you are a very smart trainer....unfortunately so are we. Onix Bind it Now." Onix held it tight it could not use Vine Whip or Razor Leaf. However it could use Sleep Powder out of its bulb. Bulbasaur then dropped out and took Onix to "solar city" as Ash called it. As Onix shook off the Sleep Powder just in time for Bulbasaur to cream it with a Solarbeam. However while shaken Onix was not about to quit. At this pace Ash knew he couldn't win. Especially when his platform almost collapsed when Balbasaur was pounded into it. "Come on Balbasaur you can do it." Ash yelled knowing that it was a complete lie. "If only we had sunlight then we could recover with Syniesis," Ash thought.

Almost as if reading Ash's mind Balbasaur yelled at the top of his voice "Balbsaur Balba BALBA." On command what appeared to be Sunlight beamed in the stadium from an unknown source. "What the...?" Bruno started to say as his Onix was as dazed as he was.

"You relieve so much on physical power, you forgot about the mind. Behold the power of the "Sunny Day" attack. Balbasaur now our chance Syniesis, now Solarbeam."

"ONIX EARTHQUAKE NOW!!!" shouted Bruno. No luck, Balbasaur elevated itself with Vine Whip and dodge the attack. Finally one last Solarbeam put it to bed and out of the match. The crowd cheered again only this time not as loud they were too tired.

Agatha used her only Pokemon next, Gengar. Using all his strength Balbasaur ran under Gengar to get the advantage. Then he hit Gengar with a Solarbeam. Then Ash made a huge mistake. Instead of trying a Vine Whip Balbasaur powered up for a Solarbeam just after the sunlight disappeared. Gengar was able to recover and was too quick. "Quickly Gengar show, Lorelei a real Confusion Ray." Ash could tell how she spoke that while Agatha shown a lot of respect for Ash she had none for Lorelei. "Now Shadow Ball." Finally Balbasaur fainted.

"Time for my secret weapon," Ash thought.

"What a fight each of Ash's Pokemon have pushed the Elite Four to the limit. Each side has three left."

End of Part Four
