Hey everyone! Here's chapter 8 loll sorry if I updated AND reviewed slowly... cant help it neways no more talk ENJOY!
Chapter 8
It was now the moment everybody had waited for; Ash's and May's battle. The two of them were now facing each other.
"Sorry May I really have to win"
"Don't worry Ash I understand, but don't think it'll be easy" she said with as much determination as him
The audience was excited, as always, Misty, Richie and Gary watching in the center while Brock, Tracey and Max were sitting a little more to the right.
"Go May, you can do it!" cheered Misty
May smiled to her and threw her pokeball first and Combusken came out.
Gary frowned, yes he had told her to choose him but he hadn't thought she would throw her pokeball first. Now Ash could change his mind.
"Sorry Gary, I'm not going to cheat with any advantage type, that'll be too easy" May thought
Ash looked a bit hesitant, Gary must have been right, Ash wanted to use Grovyle but now that May had chosen her pokemon, he released Swellow instead.
The battle could finally begin.
"Combusken fire spin!" started May
"Swellow dodge"
And it dodged the attack only to be hit by a Tackle
"What the…?"
"Sorry Ash, I've taught Combusken a lot of combination attack I just need to make sign so he can use them"
"You won't win just with that, Swellow use gust"
"Combusken, flamethrower!"
They were some kind of tornado of wing and fire but finally the the fire took over and Swellow got burned. It fell on the ground.
"Get up Swellow"
It did and looked furiously at Combusken
"What's the matter Ash? Thought the match was going to be already over by now?"
"Nonsense, now Swellow use Quick attack!"
"Prepare to do as in the practices!"
Swellow was charging toward Combusken at super speed, it hit Combusken really hard but as it was falling Combusken put its hands on the ground and counter the attack with a great back flip and direct kick that throw Swellow in the air, he then quickly and with a prefect timing throw a flamethrower in Swellow direction. Sewllow couldn't dodge and was hit again by fired and its burn hurt him.
The audience cheered for such a counter attack
Ash was dumbfound, where did she learned that? He thought
"Misty showed me a lot of things, Ash and she told me to train more if I wanted to master those moves correctly so I did! Impressed? I was too she's really good with fire type maybe it's because she battled a lot of them" said like if she had read his thoughts
Ash gritted his teeth.
"Wow I can't believe how good May is now! Ash may lose this match it's looking really bad for him" said Brock in the audience
"Yeah, I can't actually believe it but May's beating Ash"
Ash, like he always do in critics situation in the show, turned his cap.
"Fine May, I was reserving those moves for Gary's fire type pokemon but too bad guess I'll have to think of a new strategy, Swellow Razor Wind followed by Body Slam!"
"Ash, I know that they're strong attack and that you've never done them before but razor wind takes time, Combusken use Tackle!"
Combusken did the attack but at its surprise he fell on the ground; it was an illusion; it had used double team.
"Sorry like you see I also did combination, Swellow Razor Wind now!"
The attack was really strong and it had an advantage type on Combusken fighting type.
It was going to fall down, several feet further, but didn't even have the time since Swellow charge him with Body Slam"
"Combusken get up!"
Combusken with difficulty got up
"Now Swellow finish him off, use Wing attack!"
Everyone knew that if the attack hit, the match was going to be over due to Ash's advantage type.
"Combusken, use Slash then Fire Kick!"
Combusken claws shined and it split the attack in two, dodging it and doing a 360 he charged a max power attack and hit Swellow hard.
The audience cheered such a cool combination.
"Maybe it's because she's a coordinator that she does such great combination?" said Tracey amazed
"Yeah" said Brock and Max with their jaw dropped
"Go May, Great job!" Misty was the only one not surprised
May smiled
"The combinations Misty showed are working they're really great! Now, Ash has no choice to battle me seriously if he wants a chance to win!"
Ash's expression was unreadable, he turned his cap, which mysteriously was turned back to normal before (never realized that in the show?), and cried;
"OK Swellow, we have no choice but to use that new move I showed you for Gary's battle!"
Swellow nodded and flew higher in the air, he then picked down at a really high speed the attack seemed to be Steel Wing as his wings was silvered.
"Combusken flamethrower" ordered May knowing the attack quite well
Combusken throw the attack but at the last minute Swellow put his razor wing in the ground making some kind of earth attack. There were dirt that protected Swellow from the attack and it hit directly Combusken being both an air and earth attack it was super effective. Combusken fainted.
Everybody was dumbfound, no expected such a comeback, even Tracey, Brock and Max who had helped Ash training didn't know that attack. After a moment of perplexity the crownd cheered loudly!
"Great job, Swellow you now perfectly master this move"
May, saddened, by the defeat recall her pokemon she was leaving when a hand held her.
"Amazing match, May, I'm really impressed, I had to use my strongest attack against you" he smiled to her
"Told ya!" May smiled back
They shook hands and the match officially ends with Ash as winner.
Later in the afternoon, after the May's match, Misty was walking in the garden alone. Gary and May went watching the last round match and help a bit Gary in his training since Ash had become a tough opponent.
"Hey Misty!" a voice cried
She turned around meeting Ash.
"H Ash, great match by the way"
"Thanks, May really surprised me, she said you helped her training, didn't know you were this good with fire type"
"I'm as good with them as with water, I even used to raised some"
"Why did you stop?"
"I had too, the cerulean Gym only use water pokemon"
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"It's ok, I had fun helping May, I really love fire type as much as water, both of them are like my personality" she said daydreaming
"I don't understand…"
"Well you see water can be calm as it can be devastating like when we were o the St.-Ann, remember?"
"Yeah…and fire you're unpredictable and fierce, sometimes harmless others dangerous is it that?" he grinned knowing it only to well
"Yeah!" replied Misty surprised "You matured a lot Ash"
"There's a lot about me you don't know, Misty I won today's match for you"
"Yeah…"
"And I'll win tomorrow's for you as well! I'll beat Gary and showed I'm better than him"
Misty thinking about the promise she made to May only smiled surprising Ash
"Well good luck Ash"
"Thanks, do I have a chance with you Mist?"
Misty heart pounded louder at this old nickname bringing a lot of memories back
"Yeah…"
"So if I beat Gary, proving that I love you more, you'd go out with me?"
"I guess but the other way around is possible"
"Ok so it's a fight to know who loves you the most and to know that the one who wins the tournament or get the farther will win right?"
"Yeah…"
Ash smiled
"Why are you smiling about?"
"I have no doubt about my feelings for you, I'm sure I can win!" he grinned
Misty smiled too, that was very sweet she leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
Ash blushed really hard and was shocked
"Wow Misty, that was great! I'll continue to never wash this cheek again!"
Misty burst out laughing.
"Yew! Ash do you think you'll get more of them by saying that?" she was still laughing
Ash joined in too and they laugh for awhile, happy together.
Not too far from them was Richie.
"Guess I can go now, she'll be all right with anyone of them. I'll ask Pr. Oak to register to match for me, Bye Misty" he thoughtbefore taking his stuff and leaving.
During the evening, Pr. Oak organized a meeting where anyone could come, even losers.
"Where's Richie?" Misty thought out loud
"Oh, yeah he left" replied Tracey
"He didn't even say goodbye"
"I think he was in a hurry, anyways he told me to gave you that" Tracey handed a envelope to Misty "He also told me to tell you to read it after Ash's and Gary's match"
"We don't even know if they're battling against each other in the final round…"
"Well, they do we were there at the random selection and it's Gary against Ash and Agatha against someone named John I think. Anyway you'll soon find out"
Just at that moment Pr. Oak started to talk;
"Hi Trainers, the final round will begin tomorrow and the final will be in the evening, the first match tomorrow is Ash Ketchum against Gary Oak and the winner will challenge the winner of John T.'s and Agatha's match. All these matched were so exciting that I decided to give a prize to the winner. Not only I'll reward him of 500 pokedollars but he'll have my new invention too, it's the upgrade of a pokedex handier and much more I-tech worth at least 1200 pokedollars. The winner will also be the first one experiencing it. Anyways the matches will start in the afternoon after lunch. If you have any questions go ask the referees for more details, thanks for listening"
Everyone cheered after the professor talk and was more excited than ever after the announcement.
"Gramps worked a lot on that project; it's going to be one heck of a machine!"
"Yeah and I'll have it!" exclaimed Ash excited like everyone
"Not so sure about it Ashy-boy"
"Well we'll see tomorrow about that!"
