Hello readers! Thanks a bunch for the reviews, I really appreciate them! So here's the second to the last chapter, not based on any episode and all my ideas with a great/realistic battle that I'm sure you'll love! Remember my disclaimer and enjoy!
Chapter 53: Final Four Decisions
After Angelina took care of the media coverage and pictures, she walked over to the Pokemon Center to get her Pokemon healed for her next battle. She wondered why her family did not meet up with her like they usually do after all her battles, but a voice message from Jeremy told her they would meet her back at the cabin for lunch.
"C'mon Cocoa," Angelina smiled down at the electric Pokemon in her arms. "Let's find out my opponent for the next match."
"Pi-pichu!" Pichu squeaked as Angelina walked toward a nearby desk.
'Oh no!' Angelina thought to herself as she ran from the Registration Dome to her rented cabin, running swiftly in fear of her next match in the quarter finals.
Flashback
"Lets see who I'm facing," Angelina glanced upward as she found her picture. Her mouth dropped open and her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the picture of her next opponent. It was a boy no older than fifteen with slightly messy blonde hair and deep green eyes. "No way...HIM?!"
"I feel bad for that kid," someone said to their friend behind Angelina.
"Yeah, facing Jeremy," the other person laughed as the two walked off.
"It just can't be the Jeremy I know..." Angelina thought worriedly.
"Chu, Pichu..." even Cocoa felt sadness for her trainer.
End Flashback
Angelina slowed her running to a steady walking through the village so her heart would stop pounding in fear. Her seventh round match could as well be her last when she knew Jeremy had been the Indigo Champion for three years straight. She collected her thoughts and entered the cabin after sliding the card key.
"Hello, is anyone home?" Angelina called out when she heard some whispers coming from the living room.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" voices shouted from people jumping out from random places. Angelina noticed her relatives and best friend but she was also surprised to see Misty, Brock, Delia, and Professor Oak. There was a table set up in the kitchen with hot dogs, chocolate chip cookies, fruit salad, variety of veggies with ranch dip, and juice barrels.
"Wow, thanks everyone." Angelina said gratefully. "It's not like I won the whole competition though."
Marcus laughed, "We're not doubting you won't," he said, giving his cousin an assuring hug. "So who's your next victim?"
"Jeremy," Angelina replied which seemed to end her cousin's laughter. "It's at two o'clock."
"No way!" Misty gasped. She was sitting on the couch with April; they were staring at Jeremy's information they looked up on a pink-and-silver laptop. "They look really strong."
"You don't have to tell me twice." Angelina sighed, knowing what Jeremy's Pokemon were like in previous battles. She was planning to strategize very carefully.
"I'm sure you'll both do fine," Aunt Vicky said.
"How bout a poem?" Professor Oak suggested, clearing his throat. "Battle hard till Indigo ends; still remain best of friends."
"That's really good, Professor," Jeremy said.
"Yeah, its meaning is very deep," Angelina agreed, smiling as it cheered her up and less worried about her battle. She knew Ritchie and Ash were hanging out somewhere, guessing they were talking about their losses. Meanwhile, she was content with her friends as they snacked on the food and had discussions about random topics until they headed down to the stadium.
"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to round six of the Indigo League Competition! Seamus Nichols won the last battle and will be heading onto the Championship round!" the announcer shouted from inside the stadium. "Let's bring out our last two competitors! On the red side is Jeremy Cretonne from Goldenrod City!" Jeremy walked out onto the stadium and many people cheered and clapped for him.
"I can do this," Angelina said to herself as she made her way out onto the stadium.
"And on the green side, it's Angelina Murakami from Pallet Town!" the announcer called, the crowd cheered and clapped loudly for the female trainer. "Let's now spin the roulette to see who will choose their Pokémon first!" Angelina and Jeremy's pictures appeared on the scoreboard, and the circle in the middle started to flash colors, finally stopping at a green section. "Green chooses first!"
"Okay," Angelina said out loud, grabbing an Ultra Ball and threw it, "Go Bellicoso!"
From the white light appeared a gigantic, sea serpent Pokemon with glowing red eyes, blue scales and sharp fangs. The crowd gasped as it let out a mighty roar that echoed throughout the stadium and the entire city.
"I heard Gyrados are really hard to train." April said, while the others had expressions of shock and horror.
Marcus nodded. "That's true since it takes a lot of patience from a Magikarp, but Angelina lucked out when she caught the final evolution at the Safari Zone."
At the mention of Fuschia City's attraction, Brock remembered all the Tauros that Ash captured on top of saving a Dratini from Team Rocket. "Yeah, she saved us by distracting the Gyrados that hooked onto Misty's lure."
"Venusaur go!" Jeremy threw a Pokeball and released the final evolution of Bulbasaur.
"VENA!" the mighty plant roared as it was ready for battle, and the crowd cheered for the Grass-type starter for Kanto.
"Venusaur versus Gyarados! Begin!" the referee shouted.
"Venusaur, use Razor Leaf!" Jeremy commanded
"Dodge it!" Angelina countered, "Use Flamethrower!"
Venusaur unleashed two quick moving sharp leaves from the fully bloomed flower on its back, coming closer and closer towards its opponent.
Bellicoso moved away from the oncoming leaves and inhaled deeply, then let out a burst a flame, hotter than molten lava. As Venusaur is not exactly fast; the fire enveloped it in a cage of fire. Venusaur was badly hurt, but Jeremy didn't even look worried. Neither did anybody in the crowd for that matter.
"Venusaur, Sunny Day!" Jeremy shouted.
Angelina wondered what her best friend was thinking. She would roast his Grass Pokemon alive like this.
"Are you stupid?" Angelina asked as Venusaur forced the clouds to clear and the sun came out, brighter than she had ever remembered it. "Sunny Day doubles the power of all fire attacks! Say goodbye to Venusaur!"
Jeremy still had the same smirk on his face. "Venusaur, Synthesis!" he commanded his Pokemon. Venusaur's body glows white as it takes in the sunlight, healing its injuries. "Now, Solarbeam!"
Venusaur didn't even have to charge to fire. A beam of pure grass energy shot out of the flower on Venusaur's back, hitting Bellicoso full on. Bellicoso struggled to get back up, and finally accomplished it.
"That Venusaur is tougher than I thought!" Marcus said.
"But Gyrados seems to be giving it a good fight," April smiled with response.
"Keep it up, Angelina!" Aunt Vicky cheered.
"Nice job, Bellicoso," Angelina said quietly. "Now, use Rain Dance!"
"Venusaur," Jeremy cried, not hearing Angelina order for her Gyrados. "SolarBeam!"
Bellicoso looked up to the sky, and the clouds came back. Rain started to pour from them and people in the stands were putting up their umbrellas. Since Venusaur wasn't getting any energy from the sun, it was defenseless as the only way it could gather energy was from the flower on its back, and now was the perfect time to strike.
"Bellicoso, Hydro Pump!" Angelina shouted.
Bellicoso opened its mouth and fired a powerful jet of water at the Plant Pokémon. It caught Venusaur off guard as it was engulfed and pushed back.
"Hang in there, Venusaur!" Jeremy pleaded. "Don't give up!"
Now, it was Angelina's turn to have a smirk on her face. She knew what attack would finish him off. "Bellicoso, Hyper Beam!" she cried.
Bellicoso opened its mouth as a yellow-orange orb formed at the same time that the glowing flower on Venusaur's back signaled that SolarBeam was ready.
"Venusaur! Fire your SolarBeam!" Jeremy ordered.
"Which attack will win?" the announcer asked the raging crowd.
Venusaur and Bellicoso roared as they fired a powerful white beam and an orange-yellow beam at each other. Both attacks collided in the middle and caused a small explosion that covered the field.
"And who will win?!" the announcer questioned. He was soon answered as the dust cleared away; Gyrados was standing strong while Venusaur had been thrown into a wall and knocked out.
"Venusaur is unable to battle! Gyrados wins!" the judge announced as Jeremy's first light went away, leaving him with five Pokemon.
"Way to go, Bellicoso!" Angelina cheered as her Gyrados roared in its victory.
"Not bad," Jeremy said, recalling his Venusaur and took out another Pokeball. "But not good enough to beat Typhlosion!" He released a fire Pokemon, the final evolved form of the Johto starter, Cyndaquil.
"Why are you using a Fire-type against a Water-type?" Angelina asked in bewilderment.
Jeremy looked at her, not worried at all, and then he finally answered. "It doesn't matter what type your Pokemon are. It's the moves you teach them! Typhlosion, Thunderpunch!"
Typhlosion ran forward, its fist charged with electricity. A couple of punches were swung, Bellicoso being super careful because of his weakness to the element.
"Swat it away with Hydro Pump!" Angelina shouted, and her Gyrados blasted a high-pressure stream of water at Typhlosion. The Volcano Pokemon was knocked back by the hit, taking super-effective damage from the attack. It got back up and re-lit the flames on its back, awaiting an order.
"Flamethrower!" Typhlosion released a red-orange stream of fire from its mouth at Bellicoso.
"Counter with Ice Beam!" Bellicoso shot a light blue beam of ice energy from its mouth directly at the oncoming Fire attack, resulting in an explosion. Both Pokemon remained standing as the hail slowed down.
"Typhlosion, use Flare Blitz!" Typhlosion cloaked itself in red-orange fire and charged straight at its opponent.
"Counter with Aqua Tail!" Bellicoso's tail glowed blue and swung at the charging Typhlosion, and the momentum of the Water-type attack knocked the Fire-type backwards.
"You're not taking us down that easily! Typhlosion, ThunderPunch!"
Typhlosion charges at Bellicoso with its fist surrounded by yellow sparks of electricity.
"Don't let it get close! Earthquake!" Bellicoso roars as it hits the ground hard with its tail and sent shockwaves throughout the battlefield.
"Dodge with Quick Attack! Then use ThunderPunch to bring it down!"
Typhlosion dashes forward, leaving behind a white trail of energy as it leaps over the shockwaves and runs at its opponent. Before the sea serpent could react, Typhlosion struck hard with its fist glowing in electricity, and Bellicoso had fallen to the ground unconscious with swirls in its eyes.
"Gyarados is unable to battle. Typhlosion wins!" the referee declared, raising a green flag as Angelina's first light went out.
"Bellicoso, return! You deserve a long rest." Angelina said, recalling her Gyarados. She had to think of a way to defeat Jeremy's Typhlosion as she took out another Pokeball and tossed it onto the field. "Charcoal, I choose you!" the white light revealed a Charizard that gave a roar and shot a blast of fire from its mouth while flapping its wings, ready for battle.
Brock gazed at the fire-dragon on the field. "Wow, I can't believe she's got a Charizard too."
"Bet hers is not disobedient like Ash's." Misty said with a smug smile.
Typhlosion roared as it bellowed out a constant stream of red-orange flames. Charizard also roared and flapped his red-and-blue membraned wings, kicking up a small gale as he took into the air, dodging Typhlosion's Flamethrower by an inch. The mighty fire-dragon looked down from the sky at his flaming enemy.
"Use Dragonbreath!" Angelina shouted.
Angelina's dragon stood still in the air, besides his wings, which flapped furiously. Charizard inhaled some of the surrounding air and exhaled an equal amount of green flames, aiming at Typhlosion.
"Dodge and use Fire Blast!" Jeremy retaliated.
Typhlosion sprinted at a fast past, leaving the green flames to hit the ground and miss; it made it right below Charizard and let out a burst of flame in the shape of a star. The attack was moving impossibly fast towards Charizard, that Angelina wasn't sure if he had time to get away from it. The Fire Pokemon flapped his wings and flew between the spokes before landing heavily, snarling triumphantly to himself as the attack exploded behind him.
However, the Fire Blast had stopped just short of Angelina, and she gasped as the fire and flames reminding her of the previous encounter with her brother's Charizard and unable to reason with him about listening to his trainer. Charcol looked up to see his trainer standing her ground as hot embers floated down around her.
"Now, Flame Wheel!" Jeremy directed.
"Charcoal, Flare Blitz!" Angelina called out, watching her Pokemon's body engulf in red flames and charge towards its opponent.
Typhlosion roared as his body was also engulfed by raging flames and sprinted across the field, both attacks collided and a massive dust cloud formed from the resulting explosion of power. Both trainers shielded their eyes.
"Oh my! Nobody can see a thing! Who's going to come out of this standing up?" the announcer exclaimed. The dust began to settle down. Both Pokemon were still standing, albeit extremely worn out. Jeremy and Angelina went to issue another command, but just then, both Pokemon gave out, their injuries too much for them to keep fighting.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle!" the judge stated as both trainer's second lights went away, leaving them with four Pokemon each.
"This battle keeps getting better and better!" the announcer roared with the crowd.
"Return!" both trainers called back their fainted Fire-types, and enlarged new Pokeballs. "Let's Go!" they shouted in unison, Angelina's Azumarill was called out as Jeremy summoned his Blastoise.
"You can do it, Angelina!" Mrs. Ketchum cheered.
"Blastoise versus Azumarill! Begin!"
"Spritz, start off with Ice Punch!" Angelina commanded.
"Azu!" Azumarill squeaked as her right paw glowed white and ice sparkled. She ran to the huge tortoise Pokemon, punching it's hard shell repeatedly and left icy-red marks. However Blastoise didn't seem to be effected.
"Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!" Jeremy ordered.
"BLAS!" Blastoise roared and cocked both of it's hidden cannons at Azumarill, spraying two powerful jets of icy water, knocking back the aquatic-rabbit.
"Bubblebeam!" both trainers ordered, their Pokemon opened their mouths and fired lite blue bubbles at each other, canceling each other out.
"And both Water-types continue to fight!" the announcer told the clapping crowd.
"Blizzard!" Angelina shouted.
"Blow it away with Rapid Spin!" Jeremy countered.
Azumarill opened its mouth and released a beam of wind and light blue glowing snow towards Blastoise, whom pulled its head and limbs inside its shell and started spinning around, blowing away the harsh snowy wind.
"Knock it back with Iron Tail!" Angelina called out, smiling with hope. The buoy ball at the end of Azumarill's tail started to glow white as she twirls it rapidly and slammed it into Blastoise's shell, ricocheting it the other way and hitting the wall of the stadium. The whole stadium shook with the force of the blow as Blastoise got out of its shell and wobbled slightly, shaking off the dizziness.
"Let's end this with Earthquake!" Jeremy shouted. Blastoise smashed its foot on the ground, making the stadium shake violently.
"Counter with Grass Knot!" Angelina retaliated.
Azumarill's eyes glowed green as two blades of grass shot out behind Blastoise and tied each other up. Blastoise stumbling back and fell to the ground, knocked out. Azumarill also fainted from the Earthquake.
"Oh no, Spritz!" Angelina gasped.
"Both Blastoise and Azumarill are unable to battle!" the referee called, and both trainers recalled their Pokémon as their third lights went out.
"This battle keeps getting better and better!" the announcer man told the raging and anxious crowd. "The outcome is up in the air!"
"Rocky, let's go!" Angelina threw her fourth Pokeball. Golem formed onto the field, and slammed its foot into the ground.
"Go Scyther!" Jeremy threw his fourth Pokeball and the white light revealed a green-colored praying mantis with blade-like forearms and cream-colored wings.
"And we have a total change!" the announcer roared to the raging crowd.
"Golem versus Scyther! Begin!" the referee called out.
"Rocky, use Flamethrower!" Angelina commanded.
"Scyther use Aglility to dodge!"
Golem inhaled a deep breath as Scyther zipped and zapped across the field in a green blur, "LEM!" the rock megaton roared, releasing a stream of flame from his mouth. Scyther moved quickly in a blink of an eye and dodged the flames.
"Now use Slash!" Jeremy smiled.
"Rocky, use Protect!" Angelina instructed.
"Scy!" the wicked bug speed up, it's wings beating faster and faster with ever passing second, aimed to slash its opponent, but was unable to because Golem was protecting itself in a greenish-gold barrier.
"Rocky, use Fire Punch while its close!" Angelina directed.
"Gol!" the rock megaton lifted up his right claw as a red flame grew on to it, "LEM!" he brought down it's flaming fist, punching Scyther back a few feet, a red/black burnt stain was placed on the mantis' face.
"Now finish it with Heavy Slam!"
"GOOOOO-LEEEM!" Golem jumped high into the air and slammed into Scyther, knocking the Mantis Pokemon out cold.
"Scyther!" Jeremy gasped.
"Scyther is unable to battle! Golem wins!" the judge announced, raising the green flag and Jeremy's fourth light went out, putting Angelina in the lead.
Jeremy quickly withdrew Scyther and enlarged his fifth Pokeball, throwing it without a word. A gray-skinned muscular Pokemon formed on the battlefield. It was kneeling on the ground with all four hands and slowly stood up.
"And Jeremy sends out Machamp!" the announcer told the cheering crowd. "Will he be able to turn the tables and reign victorious?"
"Not on my watch!" Angelina said as the referee waved their flags. "Rocky, use Double-Edge!"
"Machamp, stop it with Cross Chop!"
Machamp crosses its top two arms to form an 'X' and its arms start to glow and charges forward as it quickly met Golem in the middle of the field. Machamp used it's bottom set of arms to hold Golem still while it's two top arms strikes the Megaton Pokemon in the face several times. When Machamp felt no more moving it releases the fainted Golem.
"Golem is unable to battle! Machamp wins!" the referee said, raising a red flag as Angelina's fourth light goes out.
Angelina sighed, "We that didn't last long. Thanks, Rocky." she withdrew her fainted Pokemon, then tossed out her fifth Pokeball. "Go Ice-Wing!" the white light revealed a red penguin-like Pokemon with a sack-like tail.
The referee raised both flags. "Machamp versus Delibird! Begin!"
"Machamp, use Thunder Punch!"
"Ice-Wing, use Aerial Ace to dodge!"
"CHAMP!" Machamp rushed towards Delibird as its upper fists glowed with electricity.
Delibird flips in mid-air and disappears as it misses the on-coming electrical jabs that Machamp was thowing. It's body engulfs in streaks of white light as it reappears in front of Machamp and slams into the Fighting-type.
"Machamp! You okay?" Jeremy yelled, watching his Pokemon fall over. He knew that attack was super-effective, but Machamp slowly got up and gave a thumbs up. "Great, let's finish with Stone Edge!"
Machamp crouches its body as two rings of glowing light blue rocks appear and spin around its body. Then, multiple gray rocks are fired at Delibird.
"Counter with Blizzard!" Angelina ordered.
"DELIIII!" it quickly inhaled and exhaled a breath of chills and ice particles, blowing away the on-coming stones and knocked Machamp back a few feet, but still standing its ground.
"Now Ice-Wing, unleash your Sky Attack!" Angelina smiled.
"Deli-deli-deliiii!" Delibird squawked as its entire body began to glow in a bright light.
Jeremy's eyes widened in worry as he thought of a counterattack, he almost forgot helping Angelina teach her Delibird that move many months ago. "Stop it with Stone Edge!"
Machamp summoned more sharp stones and sent them at Delibird in an attempt to knock it out. Delibird chose that exact moment to take off towards Machamp, weaving in and out of the incoming stones, deftly avoiding every one of them.
Stunned, Machamp was unable to pull off a counterattack as Delibird came barreling in and scored a direct hit on the Superpower Pokemon, knocking it all the way back into the wall. Machamp was knocked out completely by the super-effective attack.
"Machamp is unable to battle! Delibird wins!" the judge said as he raised a green flag and Jeremy's fifth light went out, leaving him with only one last shot.
Jeremy, despite his disadvantage smiled as he enlarged his final Pokeball after he thanked his Machamp and recalled it for a well-deserved rest. "Guess it all comes down to this." he replied and threw the Pokeball. A large dragon-like Pokemon appeared with green-colored wings, yellow antennaes, and a cream-colored underbelly.
"That's a Dragonite!" Brock and Misty gasped.
Angelina knew her best friend had the Dragon Pokemon, but was never used in any of their practice battles. 'This is gonna be fun.' she smirked.
"Dragonite versus Delibird, begin!"
"Dragonite, take it down with Thunder!" Jeremy ordered. Dragonite's antennae crackle with yellow electricity and fires a beam of yellow electricity at Delibird.
"Protect yourself, Ice-Wing!" Angelina called. Delibird squawked and raises its arms as its body was covered in a greenish-blue energy shield. The electrical attack struck the shield, but diminished when there was no damage. "Great, now use Ice Beam!"
"Use you Hyper Beam!" Jeremy shouted.
A light blue ball forms in Delibird's mouth and shot out a beam of ice energy headed directly for Dragonite. The Dragon Pokemon's eyes glow white and an orange-yellow ball forms in front of its mouth and fires in a massive beam. The Hyper Beam overpowered the Ice Beam, and about less than an inch from Delibird's face, the Normal-type attack erupted, blowing the Delivery Pokemon back into the wall right behind Angelina.
"Ice-Wing, please get up!" Angelina cried in fear.
"Delibird is-" the referee started, but Delibird got up slowly. It looked battered and bruised, but still wanting to fight and attack once more. "Able to resume the match!"
"Allright," Angelina said in relief. "Use Blizzard!"
Delibird waves the wing holding it tail back and forth and a strong wind of ice and snow blows toward Dragonite.
"Dragonite, dodge and use Flamethrower!"
"Arrro!" Dragonite laughed as it's small wings flapped, moving away from being struck down by the blizzard. Then it bellowed out a quick moving stream of red and yellow flames, engulfing Delibird.
"Ice-Wing!" Angelina screamed as the flames died down, revealing her Delibird blackened and knocked out.
"Delibird is unable to battle! Dragonite wins!" the referee said as Angelina's fifth light went away.
"Thank you, Ice-Wing," Angelina slowly said, withdrewing Delibird and shrunk down it's Pokeball. She quickly enlarged her final Pokeball and kissed it, "You're my last hope, Serenity. Make me proud and let's win!" she threw the device and called on her newest Pokemon. The crowd gasped in awe as the shimmering white light disappeared and revealed a large, blue serpentine with dark, glossy eyes, a small horn on its forehead, small feathery wings on the sides of its head, a bright white belly, and blue orbs on its neck and tail.
"Its so beautiful!" Misty cried in awe.
"I'm sure there was alot of training to evolve a Dratini." Brock said. "Looks very healthy too. Jeremy made the right choice."
"Well folks, this final battle is gonna be amazing if both trainers are dueling with their Dragon Pokemon!" the judge told the pleased crowd.
"Dragonite versus Dragonair, begin!"
"Dragonite, use Flamethrower!"
"Serenity, your Ice Beam!"
Dragonite inhaled and exhaled at the speed of light, blowing out a jet of hot flames, hitting Dragonair near her tail but not phasing it too much, the flames died down quickly.
The female dragon-serpentine opened her mouth, forming an orb of light blue energy and shot out multiple light blue beams of ice. One of them hits Dragonite in the mid-section, but does not knock it out like Angelina had hoped.
"Paralyze Dragonair with Thunder Wave!" Jeremy ordered.
Dragonite stretches out its arms and releases a stream of blue electricity from the ends of its antennae at Dragonair.
"Serenity, counter with Water Pulse!"
The crowd gasped as they realized that this Dragonair knew Water Pulse, a move it could only learn through breeding. The Dragon Pokemon opened her mouth, creating a blue ball of energy and fires a spiraling wave of water that shot across the field and caused Dragonite's Thunder Wave to short out before it reached Dragonair. The Water Pulse kept going and strikes Dragonite in the chest, but barely took notice.
"Dragonbreath!" both trainers commanded at the same time.
Dragonair and Dragonite inhaled and exhaled a jet of constant moving green flames, meeting in the middle and causing a small explosion, the smoke quickly died down and the two dragons were staring at the other fiercely.
"Now use Ice Beam!" Angelina instructed.
"Dragonite, counter with your Ice Beam!"
Both Pokemon opened their mouths and formed orbs of ice energy which they fired in light blue beams across the field. They collided halfway between the dragons and quickly built up into a block of ice before they backed off.
"Use Ice Beam again, Serenity!"
"Dodge, and use Draco Meteor!"
Dragonair once again fired an Ice Beam in the direction of Dragonite. Dragonite jumped out of the way as a ball of orange energy appears in front of it's mouth and fired it into the air.
"Now Serenity, use Blizzard!"
"Blow it away with Wing Attack and get closer to Dragonair!" Jeremy commanded.
As Dragonite's orange ball of energy exploded, Dragonair opened her mouth and breathed out a powerful blast of cold air, sending a shower of ice and snow towards Dragonite.
Dragonite flaps its wings and white energy is released from them, blowing away the oncoming ice and snow as is charges towards its opponent.
"Serenity, use Iron Tail!"
Dragonair shook off the pain from being hit by the Draco Meteor as the two orbs on the end of her tail glows white. Then with as much force as possible, she swung her tail at the oncoming Dragonite, hitting it on the head.
"Finish it with Twister!" Angelina shouted.
The orbs on Dragonair's tail glow. Then it waves its tail and creates a tornado from it heading directly towards Dragonite.
"Dragon Pulse!"
Dragonite opens its mouth and a turquoise energy ball appears in front of it. It then fires the ball at the tornado, destroying the attack and hitting Dragonair in the torso, sending her to the ground.
"My goodness! That Dragon Pulse had to of been more powerful to take down Dragonair's Twister!" the announcer explained to the awestruck crowd.
"Serenity, are you okay?" Angelina asked her Pokemon. The serpentine dragon shakily pick herself up off the ground.
"Dragonite, use Dragon Claw!"
Dragonite's claws to glow white and then began to fly at Dragonair, preparing to hit her with its attack.
"Dodge and use Iron Tail again!"
When Dragonite got closer to Dragonair, it swung both its claws at its opponent, but Dragonair jumped out of the way. The orbs on Dragonair's tail glow white and slammed it as hard as she could into Dragonite, but the attack didn't do much damage. Dragonite then hits Dragonair with its Dragon Claw, sending her flying across the field, and Dragonair managed to get back up.
"You can do it, Serenity!" Angelina shouted encouragingly. "Use your Hyper Beam!"
"Dragonite, your Hyper Beam too!" Jeremy commanded.
Both Pokemon charged orbs of orange energy and fired the beams at each other, hitting in the middle and caused another, bigger explosion that covered the whole stadium in smoke. The two battling Pokemon were not seeable to anybody. There were screams and roars of pain and agony from both Dragon Pokemon.
"Who will win?" the announcer asked the hushed crowd.
The smoke cleared and everybody in the stadium looked upon the scene of the two Pokemon. Dragonair was laying on the ground unconscious while Dragonite had landed on the ground, panting heavily.
"Dragonair is unable to battle! The winner is Dragonite and the red trainer, Jeremy Cretonne from Goldenrod City!" the judge declared, Angelina's final light went out and her picture faded away revealing Jeremy to be the winner.
"There you have it, folks! Jeremy Cretonne has defeated Angelina and is moving on to the Championship round to battle Seamus Nichols!" the announcer called out to the cheering crowd.
"I can't believe I won," Jeremy muttered, he wasn't sure to be happy or not. He recalled his exhausted Dragonite, and walked over to Angelina. She was kneeling on the ground comforting her fallen Dragonair as she recalled it to the Pokeball. Then tears started running down her face. "Hey, I wouldn't cry for being so amazing."
Angelina looked up. Jeremy was smiling down at her and holding out a hand to help her up. She smiled, taking his hand as he pulled her up. "Y-yeah, our battle was just fantastic. I couldn't keep my eyes away from it." she quickly wipped the tears away from her eyes with her free hand and shook hands with the other.
Jeremy chuckled. "All that matters," he pulled her in close for a friendly hug, and then walked out of the stadium to meet with their family and friends.
