In the last episode of Johto champions Ash, Ritchie and Gary each won their second round matches but Casey lost to Gary. Now Ash must face a girl called Mellin and Ritchie must face AJ Sanderson.
Disclamer: I don't own Pokemon or any of the characters. I only own the surnames except Ash, Gary. Misty and Brock.
Johto Champions
Ch 8
The quarterfinals
(The crowd is electric. They are chatting among themselves as who will win the Johto league as well as eating, drinking and looking at souvenirs such as programmes, balloons of pokemon and sweets. The announcer picks up again.)
"Welcome back and today will have the 2econd set of quarter final matches. Yesterday Giselle Gravel and Gary Oak both came through their quarterfinal matches comfortably. Today Ash Ketchum who came in the top 16 of the Indigo league will face Mellin who beat Gary Oak in the Indigo League. But before that we have a cracker of a match for you as Ritchie Williams faces AJ Sanderson for a place in the Johto league semi finals".
(The crowd go wild as AJ and Ritchie come out. Ritchie with Sparky next to him and AJ with no pokemon, which is shocking for the crowd)
"Now both trainers will use Three pokemon in this match. Normal rules apply" called the announcer"
"Let the battle begin," said the referee
"Lets go Onix" AJ called.
(The big rock pokemon came out)
Ritchie smiled "Come on out Zippo" he said
(His Charmeleon jumped out of its pokeball ready to fight)
"Charmeleon vs. Onix. Go" said the referee
"Onix use Bind" said AJ
"Dodge it Zippo," said Ritchie
(Zippo managed to dodge Onix`s bind attack but barley)
"Try again Onix" AJ called out
(Onix managed this time to grab Zippo. It clung to it tightly. When it had released it Zippo was confused)
"Now Onix use Tackle," said AJ
(Onix tackled Zippo. Now it was dead and beat, out of the match. Up in the stands Ash, Brock, Misty and Casey were watching concerned)
"I never knew AJ was this good" Casey spoke aloud
"Well he was pretty talented when we met him. I guess getting those badges gave him more conference," Misty said
"And don't forget he has Sandshrew as well" Ash said
(Back to the match Ritchie brought back Zippo)
"Don't worry Zippo you did great he said". He released another pokemon.
"Go Happy he cried
(His Butterfree appeared in front of him)
"Onix Vs Butterfree. Go" said the referee
"Onix do what you did before," said AJ
"No. Happy fly above onix and use sleep powder" said Ritchie
(While Onix was charging towards Happy the Butterfree flew above Onix and started to use sleep powder. Onix grew drowsy)
"Onix fight it off," AJ cried
"That's it Happy just a little bit more" Ritchie encouraged his Pokemon
(Happy kept using Sleep Powder until Onix grew so tired that it fell asleep)
"Onix is unable to battle. The win goes to Butterfree," said the referee
(Up in the stands Ash turned to Brock)
"I thought Butterfree was weak against Rock pokemon" Ash asked him
"Yes but Ash it doesn't matter sometimes. Ritchie used good tactics there and now he has a chance of winning. If he had used Tackle or something else then Onix would have grabbed it but he didn't" Brock explained to him
"Oh" Ash plopped down in his seat.
(AJ looked concerned)
"You are a good trainer Ritchie" AJ told him. "But you wont be able to beat this. Go Graveler" he cried
(The rock pokemon came out)
"Graveler Vs Butterfree. Go" said the referee
"Graveler use Rock throw" said AJ
"Butterfree use confusion" said Richie
(The flying Pokemon made Graveler confused)
"Now Tackle it" Ritchie commanded
(Butterfree knocked itself at Graveler sending it flying and out of the match)
"Graveler is unable to battle. The winner is Butterfree," said the referee
(AJ recalled back his pokemon)
"Good work Graveler," he said. He looked at Ritchie.
"You may have beaten two of my pokemon but I have saved the best till last." He said, "Come on out Sandslash" he commanded
(Sandslash appeared ready to fight)
"A sandslash!" Ritchie gasped
"Butterfree Vs Sandslash. Go" said the referee
"Sandslash use Tackle" AJ commanded
"Happy go above it and use psybeam" Ritchie encouraged Happy
(Happy flew above Sandslash and shot a beam at it. Sandslash was down but not yet out)
"Tackle it" Ritchie called at Happy
"Sandslash you tackle it too" AJ called to his pokemon.
(Sandslash and Butterfree both tackled each other. Everyone waited with bated breath to see who would win. The dust cleared and Sandslash had fainted. Butterfree had flew above)
"Sandslash is unable to battle. The winner is Ritchie and Butterfree," said the referee
"Wow what a match. But it is Ritchie Williams who goes through to the semi finals tomorrow" said the referee
(Later in the day Ash was facing a gothic girl named Melin. In the stands her boyfriend Matt and her adopted parents were watching because she was adopted)
"Goooo Snorlax" Ash cried
(The normal pokemon came out grunting)
"Oh a Snorlax" Mellin said " Lets go Raichu," she said
(The electric pokemon appeared very excited)
"Raichu Vs Snorlax. Go" said the referee
"Snorlax use body Slam" Ash cried
"Raichu use thunderbolt" Mellin said
(Snorlax absorbed it and stretched)
"Snorlax try again with Body Slam" Ash cried
(Snorlax banged into Raichu sending it flying)
"Raichu is unable to battle. Snorlax is the winner," said the referee
(Mellin recalled Raichu)
"Well done Raichu," she said "Go Gengar" she said
"Gengar Vs Snorlax. Go" said the referee
Ash being clueless as ever said "Snorlax use rest"
(Snorlax fell asleep)
"This is too perfect" Mellin grinned "Gengar use dream eater
(Gengar sucked away Snorlax`s dream leaving it have nightmares)
"Now use confuse ray," Mellin commanded
(Gengar shot it at Snorlax who fainted)
"Snorlax is unable to battle. The winner is Gengar," said the referee
(Ash recalled Snorlax)
"Well done," he said "Go Totadile" he cried
(The fun loving water pokemon came out and started dancing)
"Gengar vs. Totadile. Go" said the referee
"Totadile use tackle" said Ash
(Totadile ran up to Gengar and tackled it)
"Now use Water Gun" Ash commanded
(Totadile drew out a strand of water from its mouth and splashed it at Gengar. Gengar having been tired from the previous battle fainted)
"Gengar is unable to battle. The winner is Totadile," said the referee
(Mellin recalled back Gengar and sighed)
"Looks like I have to restore to desperate measures" she sighed
"What he she on about" Misty said to Brock in the stands
"I dunno" Brock muttered
"Go Charizard" she cried
(The big fire pokemon came out of its pokeball)
"Charizard vs. Totadile. Go" said the referee
"Totadile use water gun" Ash commanded
(Totadile splashed water on Charizard who roared)
"Now Tackle it" Ash commanded
(Totadile tackled Charizard who was still weak from the water fainted)
"Charizard is unable to battle. The winner is Ash Ketchum and Totadile," said the referee
"Wow what a match. Ash Ketchum goes onto the semi finals to face either Gary Ok or Giselle Gravel but well done to Mellin who faced a tough trainer," said the announcer
(Later on in the day Ash and Ritchie went to see who they would be against in the semi finals)
"Ash you will be against Giselle Gravel" said the girl
"So that means" Ritchie went white
"Yes Ritchie you will be against Gary Oak" she said
"Good luck Ritch," said Ash
"Yeah you too" Ritchie sighed
"Who are you against" Misty said
"Me Giselle Ritchie Gary" Ash told her
"Oh no Ritchie" Misty gasped
"Yes but if I lose I will have to a tough trainer" Ritchie went out of the room with Sparky on his shoulder as Ash, Misty and Brock started talking about tactics
Next chapter narrated by Ash
I really hope Ritchie beats Gary him and me in the final that would be good. But first of all I will have to get past Giselle, which will be tough
