Pokemon

(Ichigo's voice): Soon to be Champion

The moment everyone was waiting for is here. Few truly make it this far, but one trainer has.

"This is it..." Orihime said as she and her friends watched in the stands.

"Some of you might have had your doubts, but it's actually here. One trainer has managed to defeat all of the Elite Four. He battled in the Kalos League, and he battled in the Unova League and the Johto League. This young trainer has made it far and traveled far. Now, he has the chance to put all that he learned and gained from his travels." Ichigo and Absol waited in the entrance and were filled with anticipation.

"Ready, Absol?" Ichigo asked.

"Absol..."

"We've come a long way. This is where everything could change." Ichigo said. He swallowed his nerves with any doubts and made his way out.

"Here he comes! Standing with his trusted Absol, it's Ichigo Kurosaki!" Everyone cheered as Absol and Ichigo walked out on the field. Everyone from all around was watching this battle. Friend and rival alike were watching this as they wished to see if Ichigo really has what it takes to win it all. "Ichigo has the chance to become a champion. He only has one trainer to beat. That trainer is the current champion. Here is Kisuke Urahara!" Kisuke made himself seen as he walked out on the field. He might seem like a common man, but there's no telling how strong he really is. This battle could decide the course of Ichigo's life.

"Ichigo, I welcome you to what might be the greatest battle of your life." Kisuke said. "Congratulations on defeating the Elite Four. That is no small accomplishment. You clearly have a strong trust and bond with your pokemon. That is why you have made it this far."

"Thank you." Ichigo said. "It's a great honor to be here. Enjoy your title while you can, Kisuke. I'm going to win and take it from you."

"Ooh... You're certainly cocky." Kisuke said. "Let's see if you really have what it takes."

"This is it. Ichigo is in for the greatest battle of his life." Rukia said. "It could take his best team to win this."

"Ichigo..." Orihime said as she was excited, nervous, and anxious for him all at the same time.

"It's time to start one of the biggest and greatest battles of the year! This battle will consist of a full battle. That means both sides will be using a total of six pokemon. Substitution will be allowed. The battle will be over when one side has no pokemon left to battle. When both trainers are ready, they can begin."

"This is it, Ichigo." Kisuke said as he tapped his cane against the ground. He looked like he was really serious. "You are the first trainer in a long time to actually challenge me, but do not assume it will be easy. My pokemon will be extremely difficult to defeat. Here is the first pokemon that will ensure your defeat. Go!" Kisuke unleashed his first pokemon. Ichigo wasn't sure what powerful and frightening pokemon to expect. He got the opposite and was pretty dumbfounded.

"Spinda... Spinda..."

"Kisuke's first pokemon is Spinda. Okay..." No one was expecting that to be his first pokemon.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Kisuke said with annoyance and irritation. "You got the whole thing set for some powerful looking pokemon, but instead you send out that!"

"Oh, stop. I know Spinda's adorable, but it can pack a punch." Kisuke said.

"I didn't even say adorable!" Ichigo shouted. After letting some of that irritation out, he focused on the battle. "Whatever. I got to beat it either way. Let's go, Crobat!"

"Crobat!"

"Ichigo is going with his Crobat as his first pokemon. All that's left to do is to watch the battle unfold."

"Well, go ahead, Ichigo. The first move is all yours." Kisuke said.

"The first move might be the win! Crobat, Air Cutter!" Ichigo said. Crobat started by unleashed the attack. The slashes of air landed near Spinda with Spinda taking some damage.

"That didn't exactly knock Spinda out." Kisuke said.

'Is he serious? Is he mocking me?' Ichigo wondered. "Now I'm getting mad! Crobat, Cross Poison!" Crobat launched a cross of poison and hit Spinda with it and Spinda got knocked around with it getting on its feet.

"Spinda is like a blow-up doll. You knock it down and it seems to get back up."

"Spinda, Psybeam! We better fight back!" Kisuke said.

"Dodge it!" Ichigo said. Spinda fired a multicolored beam from its swirly eyes, but Crobat flew around and avoided the attack.

"You don't like that. I think maybe we need to lighten the mood. Nothing lightens the mood better than a little dancing." Kisuke said. "Spinda, Teeter Dance!" Spinda started dancing around and was unleashing psychic waves with its movements. Those waves hit Crobat and Crobat started moving around strangely in the air.

"Looks like Crobat is starting to lose control of its own movements."

"That's a funny dance." Orihime said as she actually laughed.

"It's not funny, Orihime. Teeter Dance is causing Crobat to be confused." Rukia said. "Ichigo better do something fast or else this could be a problem."

"Pull it together, Crobat! Air Cutter!" Ichigo said. Crobat tried to battle back. Crobat tried using Air Cutter, but all the attacks were way off. None of them were hitting.

"You'll have to do better than that." Kisuke said, but he just jinxed himself. Crobat unleashed another attack and it actually hit Spinda with Teeter Dance being stopped.

"Look at that! Crobat managed to land a hit on Spinda despite Teeter Dance's power!"

"How about that. Sometimes luck does pay off." Kisuke said.

"Yeah, but there's always the direct approach too! Steel Wing!" Ichigo said. Crobat flew right in and smashed its wings against Spinda. Spinda was knocked down again and wasn't getting back up.

"Spinda is unable to battle! Crobat is the winner!" The referee claimed.

"Ichigo takes the first win!" Some people loved that he already won, but that didn't feel much like a win to Ichigo.

"Something isn't right. That was too easy." Ichigo said.

"Aw... You got the first win." Kisuke said as he had Spinda return. "No worries. We still have a whole battle ahead of us. Now, for my next pokemon. Let's go, Mr. Mime!"

"Mr. Mime!"

"Mr. Mime is Kisuke's second pokemon!"

"Seriously? Another goofy pokemon?" Ichigo said as this wasn't what he was expecting.

"That might be weird for a champion, but it certainly holds the advantage." Rukia said. "A psychic-type like that holds a strong advantage over a poison-type like Crobat."

"But Mr. Mime is a fairy-type, isn't it? Crobat's poison-type attacks could do some real damage." Chad said.

"We'll just have to battle either way! Crobat, Cross Poison!" Ichigo said. Crobat attacked by launching the cross.

"Mr. Mime, Copycat!" Kisuke said. Mr. Mime had a purple aura form around it. Once that happened, it copied Crobat's movements and used Cross Poison as well with the two attacks canceling each other out.

"How did Mr. Mime do that?" Orihime said.

"Copycat is a move that copies the last move that was use by the opponent." Rukia explained. "Knowing that, what is Ichigo going to do about that."

"Crobat, Air Cutter!" Ichigo said. Crobat still battled as it unleashed slashes of air.

"Now use Mimic!" Kisuke said. Mr. Mime copied Crobat's movements again and they cancelled each other again.

"Mr. Mime keeps copying Crobat's attacks move for move. Can Ichigo get an opening?"

"Copycat." Ichigo complained as he was getting annoyed.

"No, Ichigo. That was Mimic, not Copycat. Wait. Were you saying I'm being a copycat?" Kisuke playfully said. His playfulness was getting on Ichigo's nerves.

"Copy this! Crobat, Steel Wing!" Ichigo said. Crobat flew at Mr. Mime and was finally able to land an attack.

"Crobat finally lands an attack, and it looked like a strong one."

"I guess we should fight back. Now use Double Slap!" Kisuke said. Mr. Mime started slapping Crobat across the face as it fought back.

"Crobat, Cross Poison!" Ichigo said. Crobat attacked Mr. Mime with it being right in front of Crobat. Crobat blasted Mr. Mime and did some real damage with Mr. Mime knocked out.

"Mr. Mime is unable to battle! Crobat is the winner!"

"Ichigo now has two wins! This battle is going well for him!" Ichigo might have won two battles, but he and his friends didn't seem to like how this battle was going.

"What's going on? For a battle with such high stakes, Kisuke is doing rather poorly." Rukia said.

"Does it really matter? Ichigo just needs to win four more battles and he's the new champion." Orihime said. She was excited, but the others thought it was strange.

"What's going on? This isn't the battle I thought it was." Ichigo said. "So far, I've been pretty underwhelmed."

"Is that so? I hate to disappoint you." Kisuke said as he got his next pokemon ready. "Perhaps this pokemon will meet your expectations." He unleashed his next pokemon and ended up being a Drapion.

"Drapion!"

"Kisuke has called on Drapion as his third pokemon."

"That is a little better." Ichigo said as he was more pleased with this choice. "Let's see how tough it really is!"

"Allow us to get it started this time. Drapion, Shadow Ball!" Kisuke said. Drapion formed a dark orb and launched it right at Crobat. It came at Crobat incredibly fast and Crobat was blown back with it hitting the wall. Ichigo was surprised by that after seeing how the last pokemon did.

"It's certainly got more power than Spinda and Mr. Mime." Ichigo said.

"You shouldn't have been so naïve, Ichigo." Kisuke warned. "I purposely let you take down Spinda and Mr. Mime so I could get a read on your strength. You may have only used one pokemon, but I now know your measured strength."

"You think you have me figured out?" Ichigo said. "Let's put that to the test! Crobat, Steel Wing!" Crobat still had the strength to fight. Crobat went straight at Drapion.

"Bad move." Kisuke said. Drapion ducked its head and dodged the attack. Drapion used its tail and grabbed a hold of Crobat. This battle was completely different from the last two. "Now use Throat Chop." Drapion took one of its claws and jabbed Crobat in the throat. That did a lot of damage. Drapion dropped Crobat and Crobat was taken out of the battle.

"Crobat is unable to battle! Drapion is the winner!" The referee said. Kisuke set a perfect trap for Ichigo. When he thought things were going well, Kisuke completely turned the tables on him.

Ichigo's battle against Kisuke started out good, but it looks like that will quickly change. Ichigo was hoping for something more challenging. It looks like that's what he's going to get. Does Ichigo really have what it takes to beat Kisuke? Stay tune to find out.
