Last time, Ash battle Tasuki, the gym leader of Reikkaku Gym for the Blaze badge.
During the match, two mysterious people from a gang called "Missiles" came to get
Tasuki's Charmeleon. But they (Namely Miisu and Renhou) failed miserably. Now Ash
had defeated Tasuki and followed his advice to go and try to take on Ryuen the
Jouzen Gym leader.

Page 3--A Big Battle in a Small Tournament

After defeating Tasuki, the Reikkaku gym leader, and getting his first Suzaku league
badge, Ash together with Misty left the Mt. Reikkaku and try to find their to the next
destination, the Jouzen City.

Now, they were resting near a lake. And Misty was having a worried expression on
her face.

"Look at the cloud Ash! It looks like a storm is coming. If we can't find somewhere to
stay we'll be soaking wet again!" Misty said while she's feeding her Pichu.

"Let see, we're here, Lake Taichi...the nearest place is...a place called the Hakukou
Village. Maybe we can stay at the Pokemon Center there!" Ash studied his card map.

"Then we should get going now! I don't want to get wet! C'mon, c'mon!" Misty started
pulled Ash to the direction of the village.

After 30 minutes walking, the sky started to rain. But luckily they make it in time.
While waiting their Pokemon to be healed, Misty phoned Tetsuya to tell him about
Pichu. Ash was staring a poster then he heard the following conversation.

"Did you know that the Hakukou Mini tournament was coming?"

"Yeah! I want to compete but I don't think I could beat the girl who named Yenrin.
She's so strong!"

"Just try it out! But I agree that she's very strong. She's the owner of 18 league
badges after all."

"And I wonder where's the gym leader? I've come to this village for 3 times already.
But every time I came here, the gym trainer told me that he's out!"

"What's the name of the gym leader? I've heard that he's not from here."

"Oh! His name is Taka Sukunami. People said that he's from the Kanto region..."

Ash could only listen to this part. Because Nurse Joy ("I finally understand the true
meaning of the phase 'Joy to the World'," by Misty) called them to get their Pokemon.

"Hey Nurse Joy, why all the people around here talks something about a tournament?"
Ash said as Pikachu climbed onto his shoulder.

"Oh that! That's a mini tournament organized by the Hakukou Gym, even the gym leader
always out for some reason. I've heard this year there's some mysterious prize for
the winner so it attracted much more people than last year. If you want to compete,
just go to the Hakukou Gym and register. Well, see you later!" Joy explained and went
to treat other Pokemon.

"A Pokemon tournament...It sounds interesting...Okay! I'll join it!" Ash declared.

"But I've heard some people said there's a girl who had won for 3 years already. Do
you think you can beat her?" Misty picked up Pichu and Togepi.

"Of course I can!"

+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+

The next morning, the rain had stopped and Ash almost ran to the gym in order to
register for joining the mini tournament. When he got there, there's a small line
of trainers there already. But fortunately, he only needed to wait for about 10
minutes before he can fill in a small form. After he finished with the form, the
gym trainer told him to draw a number out of a box.

"This will decide who's your opponent in the first round." The gym trainer said.

Ash drew no. 15. Then the trainer looked at a list and said, "Your battle will begin
at 11:30 a.m. and your opponent is Ace Spade. You still had about 1 hour to prepare.
Good luck!" He said and beckoned the next trainer to come forward.

+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+

"Okay, we're having the third battle of the first round! The red trainer is Ash
Ketchum the Johto league champion! His opponent is Ace Spade from Eiyou City!
This will be a 3-on-3 battle with no time limit! Let the battle begin!"

The commentator shouted through the speaker. Ash and his opponent Ace picked out a
Pokeball from their belt.

"Go Noctowl!"

"Let's do it, Marill!"

Ash's Noctowl and Ace's Marill faced each other, waiting their trainer's command.

"Noctowl, wing attack now!"

"Marill, slow the bird down with bubble beam!"

Marill shot bubble out but Noctowl dodged it skillfully. Then it slapped the water
Pokemon with its wings.

"Hang in there! Use whirlpool to trap it!"

Noctowl was trapped by a whirlpool created by Marill. Ash began to panic.

"Grr...Noctowl! Hypnosis then dream eater!" Ash ordered.

The owl shot hypnosis wave from its eyes and made the mouse fell asleep. After eating
its dream, the referee declared Ash won the first round. Ace brought out her second
Pokemon, it's Raichu. Noctowl was out of cold after a good shock from the evolved form
of Pikachu. Then Ash sent out Cyndaquil to fight it.

"Raichu, dynamic punch!"

"Cyndaquil, quick! Use your smoke screen!"

Blocking the mouse's view, Cyndaquil approach it slowly and give it a quick attack.
Raichu looked hurt but it's not going to be down for now.

"Finish it with Thunder bolt!"

"Flame thrower!"

The two attacks meet and cause an explosion. After the smoke was clear, Raichu was lying
on the ground, unconscious. On the other hand, Cyndaquil was still standing because it
used Protect to escape from the explosion.

"Raichu is not able to battle! Cyndaquil is the winner!"

"Oh no! Okay, my last Pokemon, go for it!" Ace threw out her last Pokeball and it was a...

"A Cyndaquil?" Ash looked at the two fire mouse Pokemon.

Ace grinned and said, "Cyndaquil, use mud-slap!"

"Cyndaquil, flame wheel now!" Ash ordered his Cyndaquil.

Ash's Cyndaquil used Flame Wheel so that it's surrounded by flame. This made the mud could
not reach it. Then it tackled Ace's Cyndaquil and sent it back to its Pokeball.

"Cyndaquil is not able to battle. Trainer Ash is the winner!"

"That was a smart move, Ketchum. I wish we can battle again sometime." Ace said.

+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+

"Hey Ash! Come here!" Misty pulled Ash to another arena. "That's the girl that everyone's
talking about!"

"Now the last battle of the first round! The red trainer is So Yenrin, the champion of
this tournament for 3 years. The green trainer is Chou Kasei, who came second last year.
This will be a 3-on-3 battle with no time limit. Now begin!"

Ash looked at the red trainer box, he saw a girl about 15. She has long petunia hair which
she tied into a braid that reach her waist. She wore a sapphire T-shirt with a sleeveless
jacket and black pants. Her auburn eyes flashed with determination as she threw out her
first Pokeball.

"Go Espeon!"

On the other side, it's (also) girl who's around 14. She has short black hair and gray
eyes. She's in a red T-shirt and a pair of rifle green trousers. She brought out her first
Pokemon with a confident grin.

"Beat it, Doduo! Pursuit attack!"

The two-head bird ran to the psychic Eevee evolution side. Just a second before the attack,
Espeon teleported itself away. All the audience "aww" because they saw Yenrin's eyes were
flashing a blue light.

"Gee, looks like that girl is a psychic herself!" Ash said.

"So that's why the people said she's strong. Because it's hard to predict her move!" Misty
added.

Before Doduo could attack again, Espeon had used a Psybeam to finish it already. "Doduo
is not able to battle, Yenrin won the first round!"

"Your turn! Charmander!" Kasai pulled out her second Pokemon. "Dragon rage!"

The lizard Pokemon used the dragon attack on Espeon. It did hurt it a little but Espeon
did another Psybeam to knock it out.

"I swear I won't lose this time...Venusaur solar beam!"

This time, the Venusaur surprised all the audience and Yenrin herself. The Venusaur took
less than a minute to charge up and fire the blast, defeated the Psychic Pokemon.

"It's alright, Espeon. You did a great job." Yenrin said as she recalled her fainted
Pokemon. "Get it! Quilava!" Yenrin sent out her fire Pokemon. "Fire Blast!"

The fire mouse used the strongest fire attack on the plant Pokemon. But its horror, it
still standing.

"Vine whip, Venusaur." Kasei smirked.

"Somehow I think that Chou girl could be best friend with Gary Oak." Ash said to no one.

"Quilava, run for it!"

Quilava obeyed and started to run around. Venusaur's vine whips chased it across the
arena. It dodged, jumped and ran over many vines. Finally, all the whips tied together.
Quilava used Fire spin and KOed Venusaur.

"Venusaur is not able to battle. The winner is So Yenrin!" The referee declared.

"I hope I don't need to battle her. She looks tough!" Ash said with a bit desperate.

+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+

The tournament ran smoothly and finally it's the last round: with Ash vs. So Yenrin. Ash's
confident came back after he defeated a few other trainer with no difficulty. Now, they're
on the battle arena and facing each other, holding a Pokeball in their hands.

"I hope it's not Espeon...Go Bulbasaur!" Ash called his plant Pokemon.

"Go Elekid!" Yenrin used a electric Pokemon. "Thunderbolt!"

The plug-like Pokemon charged up and fire the attack at Bulbasaur. Fortunately it dodged
the attack in time. Ash ordered it to use Razor leaf and the leaves injured Elekid.

"Quick attack now!"

"Use your leech seed!"

Elekid dashed to Bulbasaur as it shot a seed from its plant. The seed hit Elekid and
drained its energy away. And Yenrin recalled her Pokemon then sent out the Quilava, who
burnt Bulbasaur to something similar to a charcoal.

"Bulbasaur return! Go Totodile!"

"Wanted to go with type advantage? Let's see...Dig attack!"

Quilava dug into the ground and after a while it attack behind Totodile. But the Totodile
was smarter than Ash thought. When the fire mouse pinned the crocodile onto the ground,
Totodile shot a water gun and weakened it a bit. But then Quilava tackled it and Totodile
was thrown into the wall, unconscious.

"Totodile is not able to battle!" The referee declared.

"Okay, Pikachu! It's shocking time!" Ash spoke to the electric mouse on his shoulder. And
it jumped onto the arena. Without Ash's command, it used thunderbolt attack. Thanks to
Totodile's water gun, the attack became more effective and Quilava was out of cold.

Now both two trainers have one Pokemon left. Yenrin brought out her third also the last
Pokeball. Which is a...

"Pidgeotto, go!"

Ash heard the crowd whispered something like "Is she crazy to use a bird again an electric
Pokemon?" But when the bird Pokemon appeared above the arena, everyone was stunned. Because
this Pidgeotto not only was larger then the normal one, it also just like Ash's Noctowl,
it's a shiny Pokemon.

"Pidgeotto, sand attack then mud slap!"

"Pikachu, agility now!"

Pidgeotto began to sweep up the sand and blocking Pikachu's view. Luckily, Pikachu was fast
enough to dodge all the mud that was sent to him. It know perfectly well that he could not
stand a ground attack.

"Alright, steel wing now!" Yenrin ordered.

"Look out!"

Pidgeotto targeted Pikachu and ready to strike the electric rodent with its harden wing.
When it flew up to the sky again, Ash and Yenrin looked confused because Pikachu disappeared.

Ash looked upward and smiled. He saw Pikachu had hopped onto Pidgeotto's back. The bird
flied as wild as it could, tried to throw Pikachu off. But Pikachu was way too used to
Pidgeotto's flying and balanced very well. Ash told Pikachu to use a thunder attack.
Pidgeotto was knocked out.

"Pidgeotto is not able to battle! The champion goes to Ash Ketchum!" The referee declared.

"Great job Pidgeotto, I should not send you out at the first place. Now have a rest."
Yenrin called back her fainted bird. Then she shook hands with Ash. "It's a really great
battle! I like your Pikachu's style. But I'm sure that next time I can beat you."

"Well, your Pidgeotto was good too! And I don't think I could beat you if you use your
Espeon."

"Actually, I wanted to him. But right before the match, Nurse Joy informed me that someone
broke into the Pokemon center and Espeon was attacked. Now Nurse Joy was healing him so I
can't use it. I don't know who will do such thing to my Pokemon. And Nurse Joy told me he's
hurt by something like Pin missile. I hope it's not that 'Missile' that hurt him." Yenrin
explained.

"I hope you could come here to receive your prizes." A gym trainer told Ash.

+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+

That night, at the Pokemon Center...

"Say Ash, what's the prize for that tournament?" Misty asked as she gave Nurse Joy her
Pokemon.

"Well, it's a set of bracelets. The gym trainer told me a legend from a long time ago."

*Flashback*

"The legend is about a girl who got the seven celestial warriors. She can obtained
omnipotent power from a certain beast god and made her wishes come true. Around this island
there are four beast god that guarding the four part of this land. These bracelet contained
a part of the god. They said this could protect the human or Pokemon that wear it and raise
their power as well."

*End of flashback*

"The green one contains a scale of Genbu, the white one contains a fang of Byakku, the red
one contains a feather of Suzaku, the blue one contains a claw from Seiryuu. The gym trainer
told me that these could raise the power of ground, grass, fire and water Pokemon." Ash
explained.

"Do you think that the legend was true?" Misty took the Seiryuu bracelet and examined it.

"I don't know." Ash looked at the Suzaku bracelet. "But it won't hurt to believe it,
will it?"
