I bet you've been waiting for this!
"I choose… Treeko!" The ball opened to reveal a humanoid-shaped lizard with a wide, long tail. It took a thin twig from the ground, and held it in its mouth. He then folded his arms, staring at Flint.
"Oh, a Treeko." Said Flint with mild surprise. "Alright… I choose Saanaito!" He threw the ball, revealing a tall, humanoid Pokemon with what looked like a long, flowing dress on. May checked it.
Gardevoir: The embrace Pokemon. Gardevoir has the ability to read the future. If it senses impending danger to its trainer, this Pokemon is said to unleash its psychokinetic energy at full power.
"Wow!" said May, gazing at Gardevoir. "It's beautiful!" The Pokemon bowed to each other.
"Saanaito, use Shadow Ball!" said Flint.
"What?!?" Yelled Max, looking from Gardevoir to Flint. "But Shadow Ball is a Ghost type move! It can't possibly know that!" Flint looked at Max.
"Ever heard of a Technical Machine?" Flint explained. Gardevoir raised a hand, aiming at Treeko. A ball of dark matter formed in the centre of its hand, crackling with dark energy. Gardevoir blinked, sending the ball hurtling at the Grass type.
"Dodge it!" said Ash. Treeko jumped straight up, the ball detonating below him, sending a dust cloud up. After the dust cleared, Treeko landed on the edge of a deep crater.
"That just shows how powerful she is." Commented Flint. "Now Saanaito, use Future Sight!" Gardevoir's eyes lit up, a rainbow sheen on them. Treeko glanced around. He looked at Gardevoir, a '?' above his head. She smirked at him with her eyes, seeing she had no mouth.
"Treeko, use Razor Leaf!" said Ash, knowing Future Sight's effects. Treeko folded his fingers together, a thin, curved leaf rising from his palm. He then threw it at Gardevoir like a Shuriken Star, a flurry of other leaves following it. They hit Gardevoir, making it stumble.
"Saanaito, use Return!" said Flint.
"This has godda be a test to see how much Gardevoir likes him." Said Max to himself. "Return depends on that."
Gardevoir glowed a light pink, looking back at Flint. She then turned back, the pink aura crackling now. Suddenly, she raised her arm, sending a large ball of pink energy at Treeko, kicking up dust behind it. (See 'Pokemon: The First Movie' where Mewtwo rushes at Mew on the stadium floor.)
Treeko didn't move in time, getting slammed in the chest, sending him flying backwards several feet. Treeko painfully got back on its feet, face set, staring at Gardevoir.
"Treeko, use Vine Whip!" Treeko shot its hands forward, a long, thin vine extending from between its fingers, wrapping around both of Gardevoir's shoulders. He then lifted it up with unreal strength, then slammed it to the ground.
A blue glimmer shone to the right of Treeko. He turned to look at it.
"Welcome back, Future Sight…" said Flint. Suddenly, a large, boulder sized ball of psychic energy blasted out of nowhere at Treeko. In his weakened state, he couldn't do anything except watch it hit him.
"Treeko!" said Ash, watching Treeko bounce over the ground and lie still.
"Treeko is unable to continue." Said Brock, watching Treeko. "The winner is Gardevoir."
He sighed sadly, and then said "Return. Thank you Treeko." He added to the ball.
"Return Saanaito." Said Flint. He took out another, saying;
"Go, Eaamudo!" The ball opened, revealing a huge, steel bird. May checked it out.
Skamory: the Armour bird Pokemon. Skamory is entirely encased in hard, protective armour. This Pokemon flies at close to 190 mph. It slashes foes with its wings that possess sword like cutting edges.
"Go, Cyndaquill!" Ash said. The ball opened, revealing a small Pokemon with flames covering its back.
"(Oh nuts…)" muttered Flint, gulping.
"This is good for Ash." Said Max, engrossed in the fighting. "Fire types have natural advantages over Steel types."
"Cyndaquill, use Flamethrower!" said Ash. Cyndaquill shot a stream of fire straight at Skamory.
"Eaamudo, use Fly!" said Flint. In the blink of an eye, the Skamory vanished skyward, the flamethrower hitting mid-air.
"Uh-oh." Said Ash to himself, looking around. "Cyndaquill, use Smokescreen!" Cyndaquill spat out a cloud of thick, black smoke over the battlefield.
"Nice try." Said Flint with a smirk. "Eaamudo, use Aerial Ace!" Two blue lights glinted once in the smoke. Suddenly, the Skamory hurtled towards Cyndaquill at a supersonic-speed, catching it with one of its wings.
Cyndaquill skidded back, dazed, but OK. The smoked cleared, following Eaamudo's blast of air. The Skamory flapped back into position, staring at Cyndaquill.
"Cyndaquill, use Flamethrower again!" said Ash. Cyndaquill shot another stream at it, the Skamory dodging at the last second. Unfortunately, the Skamory skidded in mid-air a second, off balance. "Now use Tackle!" Cyndaquill rushed at the steel bird, hitting it on the chest. It crashed to the floor, dazed slightly.
"Eaamudo, use Steel Wing!" said Flint. The Skamory stood up and ran at Cyndaquill, wings stretched out on either side. Suddenly, Ash thought of something.
"Cyndaquill, jump straight up!" he ordered. Cyndaquill, slightly bemused, obeyed, leaping over the Skamory's outstretched wing.
And onto the steel-type's back.
The Skamory panicked, shaking about, trying to get the fire-type of its back.
"Eaamudo, use Fly to get it off!" Flint said. The Skamory flew up, still shaking about in panic.
"Now Cyndaquill, use Fire Wheel!" Ash said. Cyndaquill, hanging onto the Skamory's neck, flared up the flames on its back, rolling into a ball. It then started rolling on the spot at a high speed, as if to saw the bird in half.
The Skamory screeched as it became red-hot. It then fell straight to earth, Cyndaquill jumping off just before it slammed head-first into the ground. It squawked weakly, its eyes replaced by swirls.
"Skamory is unable to battle." Said Brock solemnly. "The winner is Cyndaquill."
"Return, Eaamudo." Said Flint. "You were fantastic out there." He said to the ball.
"Great job, Cyndaquill!" said Ash happily. "Return!"
"My turn." Said Flint. "Go, Bakuuda!"

"I choose… Treeko!" The ball opened to reveal a humanoid-shaped lizard with a wide, long tail. It took a thin twig from the ground, and held it in its mouth. He then folded his arms, staring at Flint.
