Pokemon Attack

"Telepathy"
"Hey Juan how are you doing?" Ash asked as if nothing had happened.
"Wha...How... How did you just catch Rayquaza without a fight." Juan managed to say with his mouth agape.
"Well I've helped numerous legendary Pokemon throughout my travels, and many legends are grateful for my help so they wish to join me and have me as their trainer. Some of the other legends have observed my actions and have deemed me worthy to wield their power, as they know I will not abuse their immense power. However their are a few legends I'm not yet ready to wield as their power is too immense, but when I'm stronger I will have them join my team." Ash explained.
Juan had a look of bewilderment on his face. "What legends can't you control yet Ash?"
"It's not that I can't control them it's just I'm not mature enough to be able to wield that type of power. And to answer you a question on the which Pokemon an example would Hoenn's own Groudon and Kyogre. They both wish to assist me, but their power is just too immense for me to wield at this point." Ash noticed Juan's look and started to chuckle lightly
"Ash is there any legend who doesn't want to join you?" Juan asked still in shock.
"Well yes and no. Thudurus, Landorus, and Tornadus want to join me, but I must defeat them in battle to prove I'm worthy to capture them. Hell even Arceus himself said that one day he may eventually join my team." Ash noticed everyone go wide eyed at this. "Oh did I forget to mention that?"
"Wait Ash did you just say that Arceus one day may be your Pokemon?" May asked shocked to her core.
"Well yes I'm the Chosen One after all. Arceus himself said that when I'm ready he will join me as my Pokemon."
"This is... I need to sit down." Juan said sitting down letting the information he just learned process in his head.
"Well don't get to comfy Juan, because I challenge you to a gym battle!" Ash exclaimed pointing to Juan.
Juan looked up and saw the fire in Ash's eyes and a smile spread across his face. "Your on Ash, but for the love of Arceus please don't use that monster you just caught against me." Juan visibly paled as he imagined having to battle Rayquaza.
Suddenly the Cherish Ball Ash used for Rayquaza burst open and the massive Pokemon appeared snarling at Juan.
"What did you call me you little runt!"Rayquaza roared as he glared at Juan.
When he heard Rayquaza's words Juan started visibly shaking. "Oh I didn't say anything!" Juan screamed covering his face with his hands.
"Hmm that's what I thought. If I ever even think you're bad mouthing me I'll make you wish you were never born!"With that Rayquaza returned to his ball leaving Juan a shaking mess.
Ash just stood scratching the back of his head nervously. "Well that was interesting. Juan I believe we have a gym battle."
Juan just nervously nodded and lead the group towards the gym.
(Sootopolis Gym)
"The official five-on-five battle between Juan and the challenger Ash, will begin. Trainers reveal your first Pokemon."
Juan took two Pokeballs from his belt and the Pokemon inside them. "Walrein, Seaking come on out." Both aquatic Pokemon materialized on the in the water battlefield.
"Hmm you want to use the same Pokemon as last time ok I'm game Juan. Pikach, Glalie I choose you!" Pikachu hopped off Ash's shoulder and landed on one of the floating platforms. Ash threw Glalie's Pokeball and the Pokemon appeared floating next to Pikachu.
"Seaking and Walrein vs. Pikachu and Glalie, Battle Begin!"
"Seaking dive in the water, Walrein aim for Pikachu and use Ice Ball." Seaking dove into the water and awaited commands, while Walrein formed a small ball of ice and launched it at Pikachu. Since it was the first Ice Ball it was small and underpowered. Pikachu easily dodged the attack by jumping out of the way.
"Juan did you forget Glalie is and ice-type and Pikachu is an electric-type?" Ash said to a confused Juan.
"Why does that matter Ash?" Juan asked confused at his statement.
"Oh just this. Pikachu use Thunder on the water, Glalie when Thunder is over use Ice Beam on the water to freeze it." Pikachu jumped off the platform he was on and launched a massive Thunder attack hitting the water. The electricity coursed through the water hitting the waiting Seaking. Just as Seaking was about to resurface Glalie fired his Ice Beam and froze the half of the water battlefield solid effectively freezing Seaking in the ice.
Juan was stunned by the move. "What a brilliant strategy, he changed the battlefield to his favor and he knocked one of my Pokemon, amazing." Juan then reached for another Pokeball, he'd have to thaw out Seaking later.
"Whiscash come on out." The large catfish like Pokemon appeared in the water next to Walrein ready to battle.
"Pikachu take a break, Swellow I choose you!" Pikachu thanked his trainer, because the Thunder attack it just used really drained its energy. Swellow appeared and instantly recognized Whiscash from their previous battle.
"Walrein use Ice Ball on Swellow, Whiscash use Scald on Glalie." Walrein charged another Ice Ball this one was larger and moved slightly slower, while Whiscash sprayed a stream of steaming water at Glalie. Swellow managed to easily dodge the Ice Ball, Glalie wasn't as lucky and the boiling water hit him as he tried to dodge. The attack didn't do too much damage, but Glalie was hit with a nasty burn.
"Damn I was really hopping Glalie wouldn't get burned, but I guess luck actually wasn't on my side there." Ash sighed as he watched Glalie yell in pain as he was hit by the burn.
"Swellow use Air Slash Walrein, Glalie fight through the pain and use Blizzard Whiscash." Swellow flew into the air and with a flap of its wings launched the powerful flying type move at Walrein, while Glalie opened its move and spewed a massive Blizzard at Whiscash. Walrein was far to slow to dodge the attack so it braced itself and took it head on. Whiscash tried to dodge the Blizzard, but was hit as it tried to dive under a platform freezing the back part of its body immobilizing it.
"Shit Whiscash can't move anymore, this isn't good." Juan looked at his immobilized Pokemon and sighed. "Whiscash use Hyper Beam on Glalie, Walrein Ice Ball on Swellow again." Whiscash with great effort faced Glalie and fired, and Walrein created an even larger Ice Ball that was getting harder to dodge.
"Swellow use Aerial Ace to dodge then use Steel Wing on Walrein. Glalie use Gyro Ball to deflect the attack the use Ice Beam on Whiscash." Swellow zoomed past the Ice Ball and its wings start to glow white before it crashed into Walrein knocking into the water. Glalie started to glow as it spun at an extremely fast rate neutralizing the Hyper Beam. Then Glalie stopped spinning and hit the unmoving Whiscash with a powerful Ice Beam knocking it out.
Juan returned Whiscash before he threw out his next Pokemon. "Luvdisc come on out." The small Pokemon looked unfazed at it faced its intimidating opponents.
"Oh I've been waiting for this, Glalie return. This guy has been waiting for this rematch for a very long time, Sceptile I choose you!" Sceptile appeared on the platform in front of Ash, then it spotted Luvdisc. Sceptile's whole demeanor changed when it saw the small heart shaped Pokemon, he looked as if he was ready to kill the tiny Pokemon. "Jeez Sceptile still hasn't gotten over that lose." Ash then noticed Sceptile pointing towards Ash's wrist. "Are you serious you're that pissed you want to use that." Sceptile eagerly nodded, Ash just sighed and pushed the stone on his megaring.
"Wha... What is happening to his Sceptile?" Juan watched in surprise and fear as he watched the Sceptile in front of his change into an entirely different Pokemon. "I'm sooooo screwed!" Juan then noticed that now Luvdisc was shaking under the glare that Sceptile was giving it.
"Swellow finish of Walrein with Aerial Ace,and let Sceptile fight Luvdisc one-on-one." Swellow nodded and took of at Walrein with incredible speed.
"Walrein quick use Ice Ball again." Walrein started to create the now massive ball of ice. Walrein just barely launched the attack before Swellow was within attacking range, but to everyone's amazement instead of dodging Swellow went headlong through the massive ball of ice and. Swellow crashed through the Ice Ball and collided with Walrein creating a mini explosion. When the smoke died down both Pokemon where knocked. Everyone watching the battle had the same thought.
"HOLY SHIT that was awesome!"
Ash returned Swellow with a massive smile on his face. "Swellow that was by far one of the most badass things I've ever seen, good job." Ash could sworn he felt Swellow give him a cheeky grin from inside the ball. "Okay Sceptile we're gonna try this again, and this time don't underestimate your opponent." Ash then took a seat to watch the battle.
This confused Juan. "Uh Ash what are you doing?"
"Oh Sceptile is gonna try battling without my command. We've tried it a few times, and it works fairly well when Sceptile isn't trying to be a showoff that is." Ash then gave Sceptile a smirk.
"Uh okay then, whatever you say." Juan said still confused.
Sceptile grinned as it waited for Luvdisc to make the first move.
"Luvdisc start iff with Aqua Jet." Luvdisc surrounded itself in water before it took off towards Sceptile like a bullet. Sceptile however made no attempt to dodge the attack he simply stood his ground. When Luvdisc was only a few feet away Sceptile reached out and caught the speeding Pokemon as if it were nothing. Sceptile then gave Luvdisc an evil grin as he thought of ways to get revenge.
"Sceptile remember what I said don't underestimate your opponent and damnit no showing off." Ash said giving Sceptile a look that said he was serious. Sceptile nodded and returned to the task at hand, he decided to start of strong. Sceptile threw Luvdisc into the air and hit in onto the frozen section of the field with a powerful Leaf Blade. As Luvdisc lay flopping on its side Sceptile kept up his assault hitting Luvdisc with a powerful Slam attack destroying most of the frozen water. As Luvdisc regained its composure in the water Sceptile launched its last attack. Sceptile gathered energy in its mouth and launched a powerful Energy Ball hitting Luvdisc and sending across the battlefield landing unconscious next to Juan.
"Great job Sceptile you stayed calm, and didn't underestimate your opponent. Plus you didn't show off too much." Ash returned Sceptile and waited for Juan to continue.
"Thank Arceus he put that Sceptile away, that thing was scary!" Juan then reached for his last Pokemon. "Milotic show them your beauty." Milotic appeared and everyone gazed in wonder at the majestic Pokemon.
"Wow what a beautiful Pokemon, but I think mine is still more beautiful." Ash commented.
"WHAT! You believe your Milotic is more beautiful than mine?" Juan all but yelled.
"If I get the chance I'll bring her with me next time and we can compare both their beauty." Ash looked and noticed the daydreaming faces of May and Dawn as they imagined using Ash's Milotic in their contest, but Ash had told them his Milotic was off limits for contests.
"Fine next time we meet we will compare them. Now Ash bring out your next Pokemon." Juan said refocusing on the battle.
"Ok Juan lets go. This guy hasn't battled in a while so I know he'll be itching for a fight. Crawdaunt I choose you." The massive lobster like Pokemon landed on the platform, but immediately tackled Ash. Crawdaunt may have been big and menacing, but he still kept his playful side. When Crawdaunt was done crushing Ash, he returned to his platform ready to battle."
"Milotic vs. Crawdaunt, Battle Begin!"
"Milotic use Twister." Milotic started rotating its tail creating a mini tornado which started to lift up Crawdaunt.
"Just what I thought he would do." Ash then smirked and nodded at Crawdaunt who stopped flailing inside the Twister. "Crawdaunt use Protect then on your way down use Crabhammer." When Crawdaunt erected the protective barrier it immediately started to descend. A few feet above Milotic Crawdaunt charged up a Crabhammer and brought it down on Milotic's head. Milotic was momentarily stunned by the attack, but quickly recovered.
"Milotic use Hail then use Safeguard." Milotic unleashed a scream towards the sky and hail started to pelt both Pokemon, then Milotic's body started to glow gold as Safeguard took effect.
"He's trying to stall me out, smart move." Ash thought as he tried to quickly come up with a strategy.
"You want to try and stall me out Juan, well I can play the same game. Crawdaunt use Toxic." Crawdaunt opened its claws and spewed a toxic brown sludge that coated Milotic poisoning it.
"Damnit he figured me out so fast." Juan thought in a panic as he watched Milotic pant and heave as it was pelted with hail and hit with the effects of the poison.
"Crawdaunt finish this up with Sludge Wave." Crawdaunt again opened its claws, but this time a large amount of the same brown sludge was launched forming a wave of the toxic material.
"Milotic cut through it with Hydro Pump." Milotic launched the the attack, but it was severely weakened because of Milotic's current condition. The Hydro Pump managed to pierce the Sludge Wave, toxic wave simply rolled over the weakened attack and hit Milotic. When the attack hit Milotic was momentarily lost in the sea of sludge, but after a few moments Milotic was spotted on the ground unconscious.
"Milotic is unable to battle, since all of the leaders Pokemon are unable to continue the winner is Ash."
A smile crossed Ash's face as he returned Crawdaunt and walked over to Juan.
"That was an intense battle Ash." Juan said shaking Ash's hand.
"You bet Juan, besides Norman your gym was the most challenging." Ash smiled as he released Juan's hand.
"Well from you that is a great compliment. I'll be rooting for you in the Ever Grand Conference Ash." Juan then waved to Ash as he started towards the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon.
"Thanks Juan that means a lot. I'll try to drop by and visit soon." Ash then turned to face his group. "Well guys its time to take on the Ever Grande Conference. Lets GO!" With that Ash bolted out of the gym with everyone else on his heels.
