Ichigo has done splendidly well against Kisuke. He has knocked out all but one of Kisuke's pokemon. However, his last pokemon is his famous Salamence. Ichigo might have three pokemon left, but those three pokemon could be easily defeated if Ichigo can't do something. The battle that will name the Kalos champion is about to end.
Each and next chapter, the ultimate goal
Ready for battle, brave and bold
I know we're gonna make it
We will find a way
Oh-oh
We've come so far
We fought so hard to get where we are
Oh-oh
We belong together
It's always you and me
Pokemon
(Ichigo's voice): To Be Named
"Kisuke is now down to his last pokemon. Ichigo has three left, but that might not be enough."
"Go, Ichigo! Win it!" Orihime cheered.
"Bring Salamence down and the win is all yours!" Rukia cheered. Ichigo's future all comes down to winning this last battle, but he knows Kisuke isn't going to make it easy for him.
"Let's do this, Gallade! We win against Salamence and the win is all ours!" Ichigo said. "Strike hard and fast! Attack with Leaf Blade!" Gallade started the battle as he charged right at Salamence, but neither her or Kisuke was worried.
"Salamence, Breaking Swipe!" Kisuke said. Salamence had energy flow through her tail. She spun around and smashed it against Gallade like it was a baseball bat. Poor Gallade didn't even land his attack. "You're going to need to move faster than that if you want to beat Salamence. Salamence, let's take this battle to new heights." She made that literal as Salamence flapped its wings and took to the sky. "She always dreamed of flying since she was a Bagon. Why deny her it?"
"Fly around all you like. Gallade, Vacuum Wave!" Ichigo said. Gallade kept the battle going. He unleashed the attack and blasted Salamence with it, but Salamence was able to endure the attack.
"You have to do better than that. Now use Dragon Rush!" Kisuke said. Salamence was surrounded by dragon energy. She flew right down and smashed against Gallade. Gallade got knocked around, but could still battle.
"That Salamence is powerful, but there's got to be something we can do." Ichigo said as he wasn't going to give up yet. "Gallade, Leaf Blade!" Gallade kept the battle going. He jumped right at Salamence to try and deal some damage.
"Hyper Beam!" Kisuke said. When Gallade was close enough, Salamence blasted Gallade with a powerful beam. Gallade was blasted all the way back to the ground and took so much damage that he was taken out of the battle.
"Gallade is unable to battle! Salamence is the winner!" The referee said.
"That's one down and only two left for Ichigo."
"Gallade, return. You did fine." Ichigo said as he brought Gallade back and got his next pokemon ready. "Silvally, you're up next!"
"Rai!"
"It's now Silvally for Ichigo!"
"Silvally... From what I've learned, Silvally never once lost a battle since it joined you and your team." Kisuke said. "It should feel so flattered that it took a champion to beat it."
"That's not happening! Especially since I have this!" Ichigo said as he took out one of Silvally's memories. "Silvally, take this fairy memory!" He tossed it at Silvally and Silvally took it with it becoming a fairy-type.
"Silvally has now become a fairy-type. That makes Salamence's dragon-type attacks useless."
"Which mean we have the advantage! Flamethrower!" Ichigo said. Silvally breathed out fire and it headed straight for Salamence. Salamence got blasted by the flames, but she was able to resist the attack.
"Not bad, but you need hotter flames than that." Kisuke said.
"You want hotter? You heard him, Salamence! Turn up the heat!" Ichigo said. Silvally put even more power into those flames and tried to burn Salamence down.
"Still not hot enough." Kisuke said. "Salamence, Hydro Pump!" Salamence unleashed a blast of pressured water. The water pushed through the flames and blasted Silvally.
"That Salamence knows Hydro Pump?!" Ichigo said as he really didn't expect that.
"We've got a few surprises up our sleeve. Salamence, Hydro Pump again!" Kisuke said. Salamence used the attack again and blasted Silvally again with Silvally taking some damage.
"Silvally, Crush Claw!" Ichigo said. Silvally kept on battling as it charged right at Salamence. It jumped up and was able to stomp its claw against Salamence and pushed her to the ground. "Now use X-Scissor!" Silvally slashed against Salamence. Silvally kept those attacks going, but Salamence wouldn't go down.
"Silvally won't back down. We won't either. Salamence, it's time we kick it up." Kisuke said. Salamence got herself ready for what was coming next. Ichigo had an idea as to what that might be. "Salamence, Mega Evolve!" Kisuke pressed on the keystone that was on his cane. It transferred power to Salamence and merged its power with Salamence's. Salamence mega evolved and ended up becoming Mega Salamence.
"There it is! Salamence has become it's mega evolved form!"
"They busted out mega evolution already?" Ichigo said. "They must be starting to feel the pressure to bring that out so soon. Salamence, attack while you can! You're a fairy-type now! Attack with Multi Attack and deal some real damage!" Silvally was surrounded by a pink light and went on the attack. However, Salamence moved a lot faster and was able to avoid Silvally's first strike. "It's so fast!"
"Did you forget how fast my Salamence was?" Kisuke said.
"I...actually did." Ichigo admitted.
"Well, too late now. Give them a good ride, Salamence." Kisuke said. Salamence swooped down and was able to grab Silvally with her tail. Silvally was lifted off the ground and carried in the air.
"This doesn't look good for Silvally. Salamence is getting higher and higher." All of them tried to follow, but Silvally looked like it was in a serious situation.
"If Silvally falls from there, even without an attack, major damage will be dealt!" Rukia said.
"Silvally, get out of there while you sill can!" Ichigo called.
"Too slow!" Kisuke said. Salamence gave Silvally a good toss and got it off the ride. Silvally was trapped in the air with no way to go.
"Stay calm and attack while they can! X-Scissor!" Ichigo said. Silvally still tried to battle as it slashed against Salamence, but Salamence was able to shake it off.
"Now use Hyper Beam!" Kisuke ordered. Salamence got right over Silvally and blasted Silvally at point-blank range. Silvally was blasted by the beam and was plummeting all the way to the ground.
"Silvally!" Ichigo called as he was worried what was going to happen. Silvally hit the ground and a large explosion go off. Ichigo was worried about all the damage that attack caused.
"Poor, Silvally." Orihime said.
"Hyper Beam, Hydro Pump, Dragon Rush, and Breaking Swipe... Salamence knows so many powerful attacks." Ichigo said. "How can any pokemon last so long against a pokemon like this?"
"I say this battle is over." Kisuke said.
"Rai..." The dust cleared away and many were surprised that Silvally was still standing.
"How can Silvally still be standing?!"
"My question exactly." Kisuke said as he was rather amazed that Silvally could get back up. Silvally was doing its best to keep the battle going, but it does look like Silvally took massive damage from that fall and that attack. It was hard for Silvally to even to take a step. Seeing this, Ichigo hurried over and kept Silvally standing.
"Silvally, it's okay. You don't need to win all the time." Ichigo said. "They'll be plenty of other battles." Ichigo could see Silvally couldn't go on. Silvally didn't want to let Ichigo down, but it accepted defeat as Silvally collapsed with Ichigo helping it rest on the ground.
"Silvally is unable to battle! Salamence is the winner!" The ref said. This was the first time Silvally lost, but it accepted it rather than being sore about it.
"I can't believe Silvally actually lost." Orihime said.
"It did its best, but every pokemon has to face defeat eventually." Chad said.
"Now they both have only one pokemon left. It's now or never for Ichigo." Rukia said. Ichigo had Silvally return to its pokeball and went back to his side.
"This is it, Absol." Ichigo said. "This is our last chance and obtain the goal we were both worked for."
"Absol." These two started this out together and will finish it together.
"Let's end this battle. There's only one way we can do that." Ichigo said as he held out his keystone. "Let's win this battle and become what Mom knew we could be." Absol was in full agreement with that. No more words needed to be said as Ichigo unlocked the power of mega evolution. The energy flowed into Absol and Absol was able to become Mega Absol. "Go, Absol! I choose you!"
"Absol!" Absol jumped on the field and was ready to face this opponent.
"This is it! The last two pokemon are Absol and Salamence! Both of them have also mega evolved! This is where the battle ends!"
"Absol, Razor Wind at full power! Hold nothing back!" Ichigo said. Absol reared his head back and unleashed Razor Wind as strong as he could.
"Dodge it and use Breaking Swipe!" Kisuke said. Salamence flew around the attack and went straight for Absol. Salamence swung its tail and smashed it against Absol. Absol was knocked back, but was still standing. "That is one tough Absol. Let's see how tough it really is. Breaking Swipe again!"
"Not this time! Night Slash!" Ichigo said. The two of them used their attacks and ended up crashing against each other. They tried to push the other back, but they ended up getting knocked back. "We need more power if we're going to beat that Salamence. Absol, Swords Dance!" Absol generated swords and was gaining some power.
"Not bad. Trying to gain some extra power is always a good idea with a few support moves." Kisuke said. "However, you can't win a battle with just support moves. Salamence, Hydro Pump!" Salamence unleashed the attack again.
"Swords Dance again!" Ichigo said. Absol generated the swords again, but used it as defense to block the attack.
"Did I see that right? Swords Dance was used to block Hydro Pump?"
"A supportive attack used for defense? Clever." Kisuke said. "Not only did it increase Absol's power, but it protected Absol as well."
"We got plenty of power and strength! Absol, Razor Wind!" Ichigo said. Absol used Razor Wind again and it had a lot more power to it. Salamence got blasted by the attack and was blown back. "We've got it!"
"Don't celebrate your win when you haven't earned it." Kisuke said. "Salamence, Dragon Rush!" Salamence coated herself in dragon energy and flew straight at Absol. There was no time to dodge as Salamence smashed into Absol. This is turning into a fierce battle, a collision of power.
"Now use Night Slash!" Ichigo said. Absol slashed his horn against Salamence. Salamence wasn't looking so well as she started taking hard breaths.
"Look! Salamence is getting tired!" Rukia said.
"It took some damage and used up a lot of energy against Gallade and Silvally." Chad said.
"Absol still has a chance. Go, Ichigo! Win this while you still can!" Orihime said.
"Breaking Swip!" Kisuke said. Salamence went at Absol. She tried smashing her tail against him.
"Dodge it!" Ichigo said. Absol timed it perfectly as he jumped it and avoided the attack. "Now use Night Slash!" Absol slashed at Salamence, but Salamence was still standing.
"Dragon Rush!" Kisuke said. Salamence flew at Absol right when she recovered and smashed into Absol and flew into the air. Absol has taken a lot of damage as well. This battle looks like it's nearing the end. "I think it's time we put an end to this."
"I couldn't agree more." Ichigo said. Both pokemon are reaching their limits. The next attack that lands could decide everything. "Absol, Psycho Cut at full power!"
"Salamence, Hyper Beam!" Kisuke said. They both used their attacks at full power. The two attacks smashed right into each other and tried to push the other back.
"Come on. Come on!" Ichigo said as he hoped the attack would hold, but Salamence's Hyper Beam appeared to be pushing through. No way Ichigo and Absol would let it end like this. "We've come so far since the beginning of our journey! Let's show that all the struggle, all the effort, all that we went through wasn't for nothing, Absol! Razor Wind!"
"Absol!" Absol felt the same as Ichigo with all of it. Absol used the attack and gave Psycho Cut an extra boost. That was all it took as Psycho Cut sliced right through Hyper Beam. It was a surprise to Kisuke and Salamence. The attack pushed through and blasted against Salamence with a large explosion going off. If that didn't work, this battle is over for Ichigo and Absol. They all watched closely as something fell out of the smoke and hit the ground. The moment of truth...
"Salamence is unable to battle! Absol is the winner! All six of Kisuke's pokemon are unable to battle! Victory goes to Ichigo!" The referee said. There was a moment of silence for what just happened. All were shocked and couldn't believe what has become of this.
"You did it!" Orihime cheered as she was the first to speak. Everyone cheered at the top of their lungs. Ichigo and Absol couldn't believe it. They actually pulled it off.
"We really did it... Absol, we did it!" Ichigo shouted as he was at his happiest moment. "Absol!" Absol and Ichigo went at each other and embraced as this was the victory for them, their pokemon, and all their friends. Ichigo has obtained what many set out to do.
"We ahve our big winner! Ichigo is now the champion of Kalos!"
Ichigo has obtained a lifelong dream many wish for. He is now the new champion of the Kalos region. Now that he has, what is going to happen from here? See what becomes of Ichigo and his friends next time.

Pokemon Question: Okay, trainers. The answer to the last question was...Ho-Oh! It is said that Ho-Oh brings happiness just from being seen. This is the final question and it's about the anime. Other than Pikachu and Charizard, who were Ash's top ten pokemon. Here's some hints, the list comes from a Youtube channel that does Top Ten about everything and it happened four years ago. That means the pokemon on that list were before Sun and Moon.
