Hi, guys. I'm back with another chapter of the story. Sorry for the delay. Enjoy!
Ch.7: Ash vs Tierno
After his battle with Sawyer, Ash went to the Pokémon Center to heal up his Pokémon and to make a switch. He knew 5 of Tierno's Pokémon: Blastoise, Raichu, Hitmontop, Ludicolo and Politoed. Most of them were water types, but he knew Piakchu wouldn't be able to take down three water types. Not to mention Ludicolo was part grass – type so he needed a flying or a bug – type, but Raichu was an electric – type so he needed a ground – type. The three types Ash really needed were grass, ground and flying. Ash knew that Tierno would expect him to use Pikachu, but he had already battled Gary's Blastoise with his Kanto powerhouse. With all the thinking, he decided the six Pokemon he'll be using.
( The Next Day )
"The Pokémon battle between Ash and Tierno is about to begin. Each trainer is allowed to use 6 Pokémon and the battle will be over when all 6 Pokemon on one side are unable to continue," announced Mr. Goodshow.
"Are the trainers ready," asked the referee.
"We are," both Ash and Tierno said at the same time.
"Let the battle begin," said the ref.
"Hitmontop, let's go," said Tierno as he realized his fighting – type.
"Noctowl, I choose you, said Ash as he realized his shiny Johto Pokémon.
Serena, Bonnie, Clemont and Tierno were surprised to see Ash has a shiny Pokémon. On the other hand, Brock and May had already seen Noctowl and both knew it was a good match-up against Hitmontop.
"Hitmontop, use Stone Edge," ordered Tierno.
"Dodge it, Noctowl and use Extrasensory," said Ash.
Noctowl managed to dodge Triple Kick and struck Hitmontop with the psychic attack.
"Get up, Hitmontop. Use Rolling Kick," said Tierno. Hitmontop successfully landed Rolling Kick on Noctowl, but the Owl Pokemon went back in the air.
"That's the spirit, Noctowl,"said Ash.
"Use Quick Attack, Hitmontop," ordered Tierno.
"Stop it with Hypnosis," said Ash.
Hitmontop was about to hit Noctowl, but the normal/flying type was faster and Hitmontop was put asleep.
"Wake up, Hitmontop. You have to," begged Tierno.
"Let's heal up, Noctowl. Use Dream Eater," ordered Ash. Noctowl hit Hitmontop with Dream Eater, healing itself. "Rap it up with Air Slash."
Noctowl managed to strike Hitmontop directly with Air Slash, knocking it out.
"Hitmontop is unable to battle. Noctowl is the winner," announced the referee. Loud cheers came from Ash's friends and Pikachu. Ash was now in the lead. He was determined to win this league and nothing will stand in his way.
To be continued…
That's all for now. Ash's Noctowl has taken down Tierno's Hitmontop and was one step closer on winning the semi-final battle.
