After participating in the Kalos League, Ash decides to go to the Nessada region with his friends. Along the way, they face some unexpected events which will change the life of some of them.
Hello, everyone. I've got some free time from school so I've decided to write the next chapter. So here's the second part of the battle between Ash and Sawyer.
Ch.5: Confusion problems
Ash and Sawyer had chosen Glalie and Quagsire as their next Pokémon.
"Glalie use Ice Beam," said Ash.
"Quagsire, counter with your own Ice Beam," said Sawyer. The two ice attacks collided, creating a big explosion.
"Use Dark Pulse, Glalie," shouted Ash.
"Dodge it and use Earth Power," said Sawyer. Quagsire dodged Dark Pulse and Glalie was directly hit from Earth Power.
"Can you stand up, Glalie," Ash asked his Pokémon.
"Quagsire, use Sludge Bomb," ordered Sawyer.
"Use Protect and then use Ice Beam," said Ash. Glalie protected itself from Quagsire's Sludge Bomb and struck Quagsire with Ice Beam.
"Use Earth Power, Quagsire," said Sawyer.
Glalie was hit from Earth Power, lowering its special defense.
"Glalie, use Crunch," ordered Ash.
"Let it get closer and use Water Pulse," said Sawyer. As Glalie was going for Crunch, Quagsire shot a Water Pulse which hit Glalie thus confusing it.
"Snap out of it, Glalie," begged Ash.
"Not a chance, Ash. Quagsire, Sludge Bomb," ordered Sawyer. Glalie was hit from Sludge Bomb, leaving it poisoned. Things were looking bad for Glalie as it took three hits in a row and suffering their secondary effect, lowered special defence, confused and poisoned.
"You can do it, Glalie. Try Dark Pulse," shouted Ash. Glalie managed to hit Quagsire with Dark Pulse, causing it to flinch, but the poison did its job by knocking Glalie out.
"Glalie is unable to battle. Quagsire is the winner," announced the ref.
"Glalie, return. You did your best," said Ash as he returned the ice – type in its Pokeball. "Time to fight water with water. Croconaw, I choose you."
Ash revealed his fourth Pokemon, Croconaw. His Totodile evolved during a hard training the previous night.
"Things are not looking good for Ash. Quagsire's ability is Water Absorb which means if Croconaw uses a water – type attack, Quagsire will be healed," explained Brock.
"I thing Ash has something up to," said Serena.
"Quagsire, use Sludge Bomb," ordered Sawyer.
"Croconaw, send it back with Focus Punch," said Ash.
Quagsire shot a Sludge Bomb, but the attack was sent back by Focus Punch, which hit Quagsire, leaving it poisoned.
"Use Water Pulse," said Sawyer.
"Dodge it and finish it with Focus Punch," ordered Ash.
Croconaw was faster than Quagsire and scored a direct hit with Focus Punch, knocking Quagsire out.
"Quagsire is unable to battle. Croconaw is the winner," announced the referee.
"That's what his plan was," said Clemont.
"Ash knew Sawyer would go for an attack that could be countered with a close range attack and than finish Quagsire of with his newly learned Focus Punch," explained Brock.
"Quagsire, return. You did great," said Sawyer as he returned his water/ground type back to its Pokeball and brought out another. "Dustox, let's go."
"So it's a Dustox. Croconaw, return. Unfezant, I choose you," said Ash as he switched his Pokémon.
"That was a smart move by Ash," said Brock.
"Unfezant, use Aerial Ace," ordered Ash.
"Stop it with Psybeam," said Sawyer. Dustox shot a strong Psybeam towards Unfezand who was about to hit it with Aerial Ace and the attack managed to confuse Unfezant.
"Snap out of it, Unfezant," pleaded Ash. "Use Sky Attack!"
No matter how loud Ash talked, Unfezant couldn't hear its trainer and smacked itself to the ground.
"Dustox, Sludge Bomb," ordered Sawyer. The poison type attack scored a direct hit and poisoned Unfezant. Things were looking bad for Ash.
"I know you can do it, Unfezant," said Ash. This time, Unfezant managed to snap out of its confusion and was ready to take down Dustox. "That's the spirit. Use Quick Attack and change it into Aerial Ace at the last second." Unfezant gained speed and scored a direct hit on Dustox with Aerial Ace. However, the poison was too much and knocked Unfezant out.
"Unfezant is unable to battle. Dustox is the winner," announced the referee.
"I'm proud of you, Unfezant," said Ash as he returned his fallen Pokémon back to its Pokeball. "Croconaw, I choose you." Ash send out his Johto water starter once again.
"Dustox, use Silver Wind," ordered Sawyer.
"Dodge it and use Hydro Pump," said Ash. Croconaw managed to dodge Silver Wind and hit Dustox with Hydro Pump. "Rap it up with full power Aqua Jet."
"Dustox, use Psybeam," said Sawyer. Dustox tried to fire a Psybeam, but Croconaw was too fast and knocked Dustox out with Aqua Jet.
"Dustox is unable to battle. Croconaw is the winner," announced the referee.
"Dustox, return. You did great," said Sawyer.
"Sawyer has only one Pokémon left," said Bonnie. "Ash just might win."
"Don't get exited, Bonnie. Croconaw looks exhausted and if I'm correct, Sawyer is about to send out his Sceptile," said Clemont.
"Not to mention that water types are in a disadvantage against grass types," said Brock.
"Sceptile, let's go," said Sawyer as he send out his starter Pokémon.
"Croconaw, use Ice Fang," ordered Ash.
"Stop it with Focus Punch, Sceptile," said Sceptile. Croconaw tried to hit Sceptile with Ice Fang, but the grass type was too fast and was smacked away with Focus Punch. "Finish it with Energy Ball." The grass – type attack hit Croconaw, knocking it out.
"Croconaw is unable to battle. Sceptile is the winner," announced the referee.
"Ash is down to his last Pokémon," said Goodshow. "Will it be strong enough for Sceptile's speed and power?"
"You did amazing, Croconaw," said Ash as he returned Croconaw. "Time for my last Pokémon. Infernape, I choose you."
"Ash's last Pokémon is Infernape," said Goodshow.
"That's great. Infernape is a perfect match for Sceptile," said Brock.
"I didn't know Ash has an Infernape," said May.
"Infernape is one of Ash's strongest Pokémon form Sinnoh," explained Brock.
"Sceptile, let's do it," said Sawyer as he rose his right hand with a Mega-ring. He put his left hand on it and in a couple of seconds Sceptile Mega-evolved.
"This is incredible, folks. The final battle will be between Infernape and Mega – Sceptile," said Goodshow.
"OK, Infernape. Let's show them what you're made of," said Ash.
"This is the end, Sceptile so let's do it," said Sawyer.
To be continued…
And this is it. Infernape vs Mega – Sceptile. I just wanna say that Infernape's Blaze MIGHT activate. In the next chapter will be the end of the battle between Ash and Sawyer.
