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.

Ch.12: Electric showdown

"OK, Buizel. Start up with Sonic Boom," said Ash.

"Counter it with Flash Cannon," said Trevor. Both Pokémon fired their attacks which collided in the air, creating a big explosion. "Use Charge Beam."

Magnezone fired its Charge Beam which went through the cloud and struck Buizel head on. Not only that, but Charge Beam also raised its special attack.

"You OK, Buizel," asked Ash. Buizel stood up, not ready to go down. "Use Aqua Jet."

"Buizel shot itself towards Magnezone like a bullet and landed a direct hit with Aqua Jet.

"Magnezone, use Tri Attack at close range," ordered Trevor.

"Buizel, counter with Hydro Pump," said Ash. Both Pokémon fired their attacks which once again collided, but since it was at close range, the collision send Magnezone and Buizel flying backwards.

"Can you get up, Magnezone," asked Trevor.

"Buizel, can you still battle," asked Ash. Both Buizel and Magnezone stood up and were not willing to lose. "Use Aqua Jet."

"Wait until it gets close and use Charge Beam," said Trevor. Just as Buizel was about to hit Magnezone, the electric/steel – type Pokémon fired a Charge Beam which send the Sinnoh water – type flying backwards.

"Come on, Buizel. You've got to get up," begged Ash. Buizel barely stood up, but it was a little shaken.

"Finish it with Thunderbolt," said Trevor. Magnezone became surrounded in a yellow aura and fired its Thunderbolt towards Buizel.

"Buizel, try Hydro Pump," said Ash. Buizel fired its Hydro Pump, but Thunderbolt went through the water attack and Buizel was hit directly by the electric attack which was too much for him.

"Buizel is unable to battle. Magnezone is the winner," announced the referee.

"Buizel, you were great. Take a long rest," said Ash as he returned his fallen Pokémon.

"Poor Buizel. It was doing so great out there," said Bonnie with a sad expression.

"It battled against an electric – type and Magnezone is a pretty defensive Pokémon," explained Brock. "At least it landed an Aqua Jet and the collision from Hydro Pump and Tri Attack surely did some damage."

"You're right, but let's see how Ash will beat it," said professor Oak. "His best choice is Gliscor since electric attacks don't effect ground – types."

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see," said Barry.

"I sure know Trevor is expecting Gliscor, but I won't use him just yet," though Ash. "Pikachu, you're up pal."

"Pika," said Pikachu as he ran towards the battle field.

"He's using Pikachu," asked Paul in disbelieve.

"This will be the main moment of the battle," said Brock. "Let's forget the type match – ups and remember Pikachu and Magnezone attacks. Both of them know electric, steel and normal moves."

"You're right," said professor Oak. "However, Ash has to watch out for Tri Attack since it may paralyze, burn or freeze Pikachu."

"Pikachu, start up with Iron Tail," said Ash.

"Magnezone, use Charge Beam," said Trevor. Pikachu ran towards Magnezone with a glowing tail. He managed to dodge Charge Beam and landed its Iron Tail lowering Magnezone's defense.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt," said Ash. Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt, but it didn't seem to hurt Magnezone that much.

"Magnezone, show them your Thunderbolt," said Trevor.

"Pikachu, dodge it with Quick Attack," said Ash. Magnezone unleashed its Thunderbolt, but Pikachu dodged it with Quick Attack. "Now use a combination of Quick Attack and Iron Tail."

Pikachu went full speed towards Magnezone with a glowing tail.

"Magnezone, Charge Beam," ordered Trevor. Magnezone fired its Charge Beam, but thanks to Quick Attack, Pikachu managed to dodge it and slammed its tail on the electric/steel – type.

"Pikachu, use Volt Tackle," said Ash. While still recovering from Iron Tail, Magnezone was directly hit with Volt Tackle.

"Stand up, Magnezone," said Trevor. Magnezone heard its trainer and stood up. "Use Flash Cannon."

"Pikachu, counter it with Thunderbolt," ordered Ash. Both Pokémon fired their attacks which collided and created a big explosion. "Pikachu, use your ears to sense Magnezone and then use Iron Tail."

Pikachu heard Magnezone thanks to its sharp hearing and launched himself towards Magnezone with a glowing tail. The electric/steel type didn't see it coming and was hit by Iron Tail which once again lowered its defense.

"Come on, Magnezone. Use Tri Attack," ordered Trevor.

"Pikachu, counter with Thunderbolt and follow it up with Quick Attack," said Ash. Pikachu and Magnezone fired their attacks with collided, but then Pikachu used its full speed and slammed itself on Magnezone, but it didn't do that much.

"Use Charge Beam, Magnezone," said Trevor.

"Pikachu, dodge it and use Thunderbolt," said Ash. Pikachu managed to dodge Magnezaone's Charge Beam and fired a Thunderbolt.

"Magnezone, counter it with your own Thunderbolt," said Trevor. Magnezone fired its Thunderbolt, which overpowered Pikachu's and the Mouse Pokémon was directly hit.

"Can you get up, Pikachu," asked Ash. Pikachu stood up, not ready to go down.

"Magnezone, use Thunderbolt once more," said Trevor.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on the ground," said Ash. Pikachu slammed its tail on the ground and instead of receiving damage, the electric – type absorbed Thunderbolt. "Now use Thunderbolt right in front of Magnezone."

Pikachu fired its powered – up Thunderbolt which landed in front of Magnezone, making it hard for the electric/steel – type to see.

"Magnezone, stay calm," said Trevor.

"Pikachu, let's end this," said Ash. "Use Volt Tackle full power!"

"Magnezone, use Flash Cannon," ordered Trevor. Pikachu covered itself in a yellow electricity and went straight towards Magnezone which fired a powerful Flash Cannon. However, Pikachu went through Flash Cannon and slammed its Volt Tackle on Magnezone and because of its lowered defense this was enough to knock Magnezone out.

"Magnezone is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner," announced the referee.

"Magnezone, return. You did your best," said Trevor. This was it. He has just one Pokémon remaining while Ash has three, two of them which were Pikachu and Gliscor.

To be continued…

That's it, folks. The final battle will probably end in the chapter 14. I think you all know Trevor's last and Ash's third Pokémon. The next chapter will be out between 6th and 10th May. See you all next time.
