Chapter 1

Pokemon!

Every trainer has a choice

Listen to the force inside

The battle may be long

Winners may have come and gone

I will carry on

This dream last forever

This dream will never die

We will rush to every challenge every time

This dream keeps us today

I know that you and I

We're the best the world ever seen

And we'll always follow this dream

Pokemon!

Six years ago, Ash Ketchum set off on his journey to become a pokemon master. Pikachu, the electric mouse pokemon, became his very first pokemon. Along the way, he caught a variety of pokemon, made new friends, and battled against many tough opponents. Now, at sixteen years old, he's the Hoenn and Elite Four Champion, but his quest wasn't complete. He still had to obtain all the symbols of the Battle Frontier. To get a symbol, Ash must defeat the seven Frontier Brains of the Battle Frontier. He had obtained six out of the seven symbols, and now he's battling against his toughest battle to become an official pokemon master.

"Ok Ash, we have one pokemon each. Go Snorlax!" Salon Maiden Anabel, the Frontier Brain of the Battle Tower, called upon her last pokemon and the megaton pokemon appeared on the battle field.

"Snor! Lax! Snor!" The pokemon grunted.

"Go Pikachu!" Ash called out and the electrical mouse sprang up onto the field.

"Snorlax! Start things off with an Earthquake attack!" Anabel ordered and the enormous pokemon jumped up into the air and landed with an enormous thump, causing seismic waves to vibrate through the ground.

"Pikachu! Agility!" Ash commanded and the electric mouse dodged the attack with lightning speed.

The battle raged on, each taking powerful blows. Pikachu attacked with an Iron Tail, but Snorlax's thick fat acted like a cushion and absorbed the hit. Snorlax countered with a Brick Break, but Pikachu used Double Team to evade the attack. Snorlax disoriented attacked again with Earthquake, causing Pikachu to lose balance due to the vibrations and Snorlax flattened Pikachu with all its weight with a Body Slam. However, the contact with Pikachu's electrical composition paralyzed Snorlax and it had to move away. Pikachu got back up onto its feet and attacked Snorlax in the head with a Quick Attack, causing Snorlax to fall over. Snorlax got up and Pikachu charged up a Thunder attack. Snorlax tried to counterattack with Façade, but was impeded by its paralysis. Pikachu launched its final devastating Thunder.

"Snor…Lax…" The enormous pokemon fell over and fainted.

"This battle is over!" The referee announced. "The winner is Ash Ketchum from the town of Pallet in the Kanto region!"

"I won…I won!" Ash stood dumbfounded to this victory.

"Pika! Cha…" Pikachu collapsed over from exhaustion.

"You did great buddy." Ash walked over and picked up his tired pokemon. "You deserve a good long rest."

"That was a great battle Ash." Anabel recalled her fainted Snorlax and walked up to him.

"As winner, you receive the Ability Symbol." Anabel held out the prize and Ash happily accepts it. Salon Maiden Anabel then escorted Ash and Pikachu into the elevator and outside into the Battle Frontier, where his old friends greet him.

"So did you win?" Max, the inquisitive young ten-year old, asked with great eager to find out.

"Ash, come on tell us!" May, a fourteen-year old pokemon coordinator, asked as well. She is still in her red outfit with a red bandana.

"Well, I won!" Ash announced.

"That's wonderful!" Misty, Ash's long time friend, eighteen-years old, remarked. "We're all very proud of you." Then the three of them hugged him.

"This is all very nice and all, but could you let me breath?" Ash was being choked and Pikachu being squashed.

"Oops, sorry." May giggled.

"Thanks. I can't believe I finally did it! Wahoo!" Ash threw Pikachu in his arms up and caught him again in excitement. "Hey where's Brock?"

"You're very pretty." Brock grasped Anabel's hands.

"Ummm, thank you?" Anabel looked confused at this nineteen-year old boy's reactions.

"The most beautiful girl in the…Hey!" Brock was pulled off by Misty again with the ears.

"Don't you ever quit?" Misty dragged Brock away from everybody.

"Ash, tell us what happened!" Max asked eagerly. "We never get to see your Frontier battles."

(Clapping in background)

"Magnificent. Purely magical." Scott, the proprietor of the Battle Frontier, walked up to them. "That was one of the best battles I have ever witnessed."

"Thanks." Ash replied.

"Ash I have a little surprise for you. Come and follow me." Scott led the group to his next destination.

(To be continued)

Next time on Pokeball Z

Ash and friends follow Scott to his house in the battle frontier. However, do they get more then what they bargained for?

This is my very first fanfiction. Hope you'll all like it. The crossover will happen in Chapter four or so. The beginning chapters are to help develop the story and the reason why Ash goes evil. Salon Maiden Anabel comes from Pokemon Emerald, but I'm not sure if she'll use Snorlax or not in the TV series.
