Ash! Called out Brandon. Let's have a good match shall we?

You bet Brandon! Said Ash.

Regirock I need your assistance! Called out Brandon as he threw his Pokeball.

Appearing from the pokeball was one of the three Legendary Golems Regirock.

Leaf was worried about Ash facing off against a Legendary Pokemon.

I know Brandon told me that Ash has fought his Legendary Pokemon and won but I can't help but worry. The last time I saw him Battle was during in the Johto League but that was a long time ago. Ash just how much stronger have you gotten since then? Thought Leaf.

Ash looked at the Riolu standing next to him and smiled. Why don't you just sit back and watch Riolu this will be a good learning experience for you. He told the Pokemon.

Ri! Said Riolu as it nodded and sat down.

Ash then took a Pokeball, enlarged it and threw it. Greninja I choose you!

Greninja comes out with a battle ready look.

Ninja! It said

Ash looked at Brandon with the same expression. Brandon you can have the first move! said Ash.

Very well then. Said Brandon. Regirock use Lock On!

Regirock then placed a small target on Greninja's chest

Now Zap Cannon! Commanded Brandon.

Regirock then launched a ball of sparking electricity at Greninja.

Greninja use Night Slash! Countered Ash.

Greninja then made two purple kunais out of water and slashed the Zap Cannon cutting it in half destroying one half and the other half heading straight toward Alain and Sawyer.

WOAH! Said Sawyer as he ducked to avoid the Zap cannon hitting him while Alain simply moved his head to the side to avoid it as it hit the wall and faded.

Incredible! Said Brandon as he looked at Greninja in disbelief. I'm starting to get a glimpse on just how strong you've gotten Ash.

Ash just rubbed his nose with his finger and smiled. Thanks but the credit really goes to Greninja. He said

I see. Said Brandon. Let us continue don't hold anything back!

You got it! Said Ash as he then looked at Greninja. Let's show them our full power. Ready Greninja?

Ninja! It replied.

Ash and Greninja started to move their arms in synchronization as they then clutched their fist as Greninja's eyes started to glow.

Stronger! Were gonna get even stronger! Declared Ash. let'z goooo!

Greninja then began to envelope itself in a veil of water as it transformed, then dispersing onto it's back into a giant shuriken revealing its new form.

WHAT IS THAT! Said Leaf and Brandon in unison.

Incredible! Thought Brandon as he began to sweat a little. I've never seen anything like this before. Could this be…..Battle Bond?!

Leaf on the other hand was thinking something else. What is this? Greninja transformed. It even looks like Ash! I've never seen anything like this before. It can be Mega Evolution since Ash doesn't have a key stone. What in the world is this?

Greninja you ready?! Ash asked his Pokemon.

Ninja! It replied.

Alright then let's show them our power use Water Shuriken! Said Ash.

Greninja then leaped high into the air grabbing the giant shuriken on it's back as it suddenly grew bigger.

REGIROCK QUICK USE HYPER BEAM! Yelled out Brandon in slight panic and fear.

Greninja then threw the giant shuriken at Regirock with Ash mimicking the movements of it's arm as if they were one being.

NINJA! It said as it threw the shuriken.

Then to everyone but Ash and Greninja's surprise the Water Shuriken cut through the Hyper Beam and made a direct hit on Regirock

Regirock! Cried out Brandon.

Regirock still stood tall but barely it wasn't going to let a single attack beat it it wasn't a Legendary Pokemon for nothing.

But to its surprise it was hit by another Water Shuriken right after the first one hit right in its center.

What how did-. Started Brandon but stopped when he realized how that happened.

Ash had Greninja launch a second shuriken immediately after the first and had it hide in its shadow. A Shadow Water Shuriken! Thought Brandon

Regirock was still standing though but not for long as Greninja landed but it was right behind Regirock.

Oh no! Said Brandon. Regirock Behind you!

Greninja Water Shuriken! Countered Ash.

As soon as Regirock turned around Greninja hit it with a third Water Shuriken close range causing it to fly across the battlefield knocked out with its left arm destroyed.

Leaf then made the call. Regirock is unable to battle! Greninja wins!

Brandon then returned Regirock to its pokeball after thanking it for a good battle. He then stood up and looked at Ash with a impressed look. Well Ash it seems you're still as unpredictable as ever but I won't lose this next round.

Ash then returned his Greninja and thanked it for its hard work and looked at Brandon. Well I guess there's only one way to find out.

Up in the stands Sawyer was a little confused. Why did Ash switch out if Greninja was still capable to battle?

Alain decided to answer his question. Most likely to give some of his other Pokemon a chance

Back in the field Ash and Brandon are about to call out there next pokemon.

Registeel I need your assistance!

Infernape I choose you!

Battle Begin! Declared Leaf.

Ash didn't waste a second in calling out a command. Infernape use Mach Punch!

Infernape then launched itself straight toward Registeel with fast speed.

Brandon however was completely calm and only said a single word.

Curse. He said.

Registeel then glowed a light purple for a moment and Infernape landed its punch to it doing absolutely nothing to it not even making it budge a little.

Ash thought that it was because Registeel has high defence it was fine so he decided to give another command. Use Close Combat!

Infernape then began to land a series of punches and kicks at Registeel but Brandon was prepared.

Curse. He said.

Registeel glowed purple again and was making Infernape's Close Combat do less damage.

Grab Infernape! Said Brandon. Registeel then grabbed Infernape with its arms and was holding it tight as Infernape struggled to get free.

Now Zap Cannon!

Registeel then launched a ball of sparking electricity at Infernape and since Registeel was holding it still it couldn't dodge.

INFERNAAAPE! It cried out in pain as it was enveloped in electricity.

Now slam it to the ground and use Earthquake!

Registeel did as it was told and slammed Infernape to the ground and used Earthquake dealing heavy damage to Infernape.

Infernape was laying down on the ground now the fire on its head small and sparks on it proof of Paralysis.

Come on Infernape you have to get up! Begged Ash.

Seeing as Infernape wasn't moving Leaf made the call.

Infernape is-huh. Said Leaf as she was interrupted by Infernape making a noise.

Infernape was slowly standing back up with its head down facing toward Registeel.

Ash then had a smile was he knew what was happening. Infernape let's show them what we can do!

Infernape then lifted its head and faced Registeel its eyes were red and pupils were contracted Infernape then yelled as its flame exploded into a blazing blue inferno destroying half the roof

Infernape use Flare Blitz full power! Said Ash.

Infernape then moved away from Registeel to give it some distance and covered itself in a veil of blue fire before launching toward Registeel.

Registeel Protect! Said Brandon.

Registeel then created a barrier to protect itself when infernape made contact with the barrier

Shock waves were emitting from the contact between the two moves throughout the building. Sawyer and Alain were watching on with serious faces waiting to see the outcome,Leaf was busy keeping her skirt from flying up with one hand and shielding her eyes from the light from intense heat with her other hand, as for Ash and Brandon they didn't even blink watching their Pokemon.

Infernape was pushing itself in order to break it but it held strong

There is no way Infernape will be able breakthrough Registeel's Protect. Said Brandon.

When there is a will there is a way Brandon. Said Ash. Infernape come on I know you can do it we've been together for long time now ever since you were Chimchar. Think back remember all the battles we fought together some we lost some we won but we never gave up until the end. Now with full control over Blaze you gotten stronger then ever.

Infernape then started to look back and remember all the times it had since joining Ash. Abandoned by its former trainer as a Chimchar Ash took infernape in with open arms and now here they are now in one of the most intense battles in its life Infernape would be damned if it was going to let Ash down. It WILL win. It WON'T lose. Not only for Ash but for itself now and it was going to breakthrough one way or another that was the truth.

YOU CAN DO IT INFERNAPE! Yelled Ash.

Infernape's fist then began to heat up flames going in and out on its hands Infernape then gave a determined look and gave a small cry.

Infernape! It said.

The blue flames surrounding Infernape started to change slowly into a different color. From blue flames to white. Infernape's fist were then enveloped by white flames it smirked that it just learned Fire Punch and then punched the barrier with everything it has.

You can do it Infernape! Cried Ash.

Then as if by some unknown force and illusion of Ash appeared right next to it.

Were going to the top together right? You can do it Infernape!

Then it changed to an illusion of Infernape but it was different the flame on its head was white its face had more of a dragon look especially its snout, its hands were like claws it had white flames on its back in the shape of the wings of a certain dragon Pokemon.

Infernape then managed to create a small hole in the Protect and just opened it wide with its hands completely destroying the barrier.

OH NO REGISTEEL! Yelled Brandon.

Infernape then landed its Flare Blitz, Fire Punch combo on Registeel causing a big explosion destroying the rest of the roof.

The entire battlefield was covered in so much smoke that Leaf had to use her Fearow to blow it all away.

When cleared it revealed Infernape Standing tall covered in scratches with its flame and eyes back to normal with the exception of Infernape's right fist still on fire but with a normal colored one for a few seconds before going out and a knocked out Registeel laying face down on the floor.

Everyone was shocked for a couple of seconds before they snapped out of it and Leaf made the call.

Registeel is unable to battle! Infernape is the winner! Declared Leaf.

Ash and Infernape then ran toward each other and gave each other a big hug laughing together.

Brandon returned Registeel thanking it for its hard work and watched the scene in front of him with a smile.

After the hug Ash congratulated Infernape for its hard work and learning a new move and returned it.

Well Brandon guess it's time for the next battle. Said Ash.

Yes yes it is. Said Brandon.

It amazes me how the two of them are oblivious to all the damage they've done to the place. Though Leaf as she sweat dropped.

It was then she remembered that they were on a schedule and took a look at her Xtransceiver to see the time and saw that they don't have enough time for them to finish the battle.

Are you ready Ash? Challenged Brandon.

You bet! Said Ash.

Sorry to interrupt you two but I'm afraid we need to get going now or else we are going to be late. Said Leaf as she stopped them from continuing. Not to mention I think you two will actually destroy the gym if you continue any longer.

The two the looked around the gym and saw all the damage they did to it.

Huh when did that happen. The two said in unison.

Well Ash looks like you pass so you can come along with us but how about something a little more interesting. Proposed Brandon.

I'm all ears. Said Ash.

We will take my Battle Pyramid and on the way we can continue our battle what do you say? Said Brandon

HELL YEAH! yelled Ash.

ASH! LANGUAGE! Shouted Leaf in a very scolding manner as she glared at him with her hands on her hip.

Sorry. Was all he said.

Now then let's get going shall we? Said Brandon

And with that Ash, Pikachu , Riolu, Leaf,Brandon,Sawyer,and Alain all left and entered the Battle Pyramid and took off once everyone was inside.

Ash and Brandon both took their sides on the battlefield with Leaf refereeing.

Ok let's do this. Said Ash as he prepared a Pokeball. Noivern I choo-

Ash was interrupted by one of his Pokeballs opening and revealed Oshawott.

Oshawott! It cried out in determination

Ash knelled down to look at Oshawott.

You want to battle Oshawott?

Oshawott nodded and went to the battlefield battle ready.

Ok then Oshawott I choose you! Said Ash

Brandon smiled. Ash let me show you one of my strongest Pokemon.

He then revealed a special type of Pokeball. The bottom was white like any other Pokeball but the top was black and yellow.

A Ultra ball!? Thought everyone but Brandon.

Go I need your assistance! Said Brandon.

What came out was nothing that Ash expected.

The Colossal Pokémon Regigigas.

A.N.: Bam! Another cliffhanger. Sorry for the wait it took a while to type this but I'm really like how the my story is going. So do you think that Oshawott stands a chance against Regigigas? Let me know in the review and a thank you to everyone who is patient with me who was waiting for this episode so until next time take it easy Guys,Gals,and Non-Binary Pals. PEACE OUT!
