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.13: Fire Power
"Charizard, let's go, said Trevor as he send out his final Pokémon, Charizard.
"You ready, Pikachu," asked Ash his starter Pokémon.
"Pika Pikachu," nodded Pikachu as he looked at Charizard with sparkling cheeks. "Start up with Thunderbolt."
"Charizard, counter with Dragon Pulse," said Trevor. Both Pokemon fired their attacks with created an explosion when they collided in the middle of the field.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack," said Ash. Pikachu started to run towards Charizard with incredible speed, but just as it was about to hit it, the Kanto fire/flying – type fired a powerful Flamethrower which send Pikachu flying backwards.
"Pikachu, are you OK," asked Ash with a worried voice. Pikachu barely stood up, but it looked like Flamethrower managed to burn it. "Come on, buddy. Use Quick Attack and Iron Tail."
"Not gonna happen, Ash," said Trevor with a smirk. "Charizard, grab it."
Just before Pikachu could slam its Iron Tail, Charizard managed to grab it, but this was a chance Ash had been looking for.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt," ordered Ash.
"I don't think so. Charizard, burry your tail in the ground," said Trevor. Charizard managed to burry its tail in the ground right before Pikachu could hit it with a close-range Thunderbolt. "Now use Air Slash."
The Flame Pokémon struck Pikachu with Air Slash, but it didn't do that much as Pikachu recovered rather quickly, but it was very weak as the burn effect was still in action.
"Pikachu, use Volt Tackle," said Ash. Pikachu covered itself in yellow electricity and ran towards Charizard. But while running, the burn damaged Pikachu and the electric – type was forced to stop Volt Tackle.
"Now is our chance," said Trevor. "Charizard, finish it with Flamethrower."
"Pikachu, dodge it," said Ash. Charizard fired its powerful Flamethrower which struck Pikachu directly and with the addition of the burn damage was enough to knock Pikachu out.
"Pikachu is unable to battle. Charizard is the winner," announced the referee.
"Pikachu, you did great buddy," said Ash as he went to the battlefield to take his friend. When Ash placed Pikachu next to him, he turned towards Trevor with a smirk. "Not bad, Trevor. You really had me there, but I'm still gonna win this."
"We'll see about that, Ash," said Trevor.
"And Pikachu was doing so great out there," said Bonnie with a sad face.
"That previous battle with Magnezone might have exhausted Pikachu and it wasn't in a good condition to battle a strong Pokémon like Charizard," said professor Oak.
"You're right and right now, Ash is in a complete advantage," said May. "His Gliscor knows Stone Edge and let's not forget Ash's final Pokémon."
"You're absolutely correct, May," said Brock.
"Gliscor, I choose you," said Ash as he send out the flying/ground – type once again.
"So it's a flying – type vs a flying – type," said Cilan.
"Let's see who will win in this air battle," said Delia.
"Gliscor, use Aerial Ace," said Ash.
"Charizard, counter it with Dragon Pulse," ordered Trevor. Gliscor charged itself towards Charizard with Aerial Ace, but the Flame Pokémon successfully managed to counter it. "Charizard, fly high."
"Gliscor, use Stone Edge," said Ash. Charizard was high enough to notice the incoming Stone Edge.
"Charizard, use Solar Beam," said Trevor. Charizard fired its Solar Beam just in time and successfully countered Gliscor's Stone Edge.
"Gliscor, use Giga Impact," said Ash.
"Charizard fly straight towards Gliscor," said Trevor. Charizard and Gliscor were about to collide, but at the last moment Trevor commanded a close-range Flamethrower. The impact was so powerful that send both Pokémon landing hard on the ground.
"Gliscor, can you still battle," asked Ash.
"Charizard, are you OK," asked Trevor. Both Pokémon stood up with determination to take the other out.
"That's the spirit, Gliscor," said Ash. "Use Aerial Ace."
"Charizard, use Air Slash," said Trevor. Charizard fired its Air Slash, but Gliscor was faster and struck the fire/flying – type with Aerial Ace.
"Gliscor, use Stone Edge," said Ash.
"There's no time to dodge so counter with Flamethrower," said Trevor. Both Pokémon fired their attacks which created an explosion when they collided. After the dust cleared, Gliscor and Charizard were in the air, ready for the final blow.
"Gliscor, use Giga Impact," ordered Ash.
"Charizard, grab it and use maximum power Flamethrower," said Trevor. Gliscor became surrounded in a purple aura and flew towards the Flame Pokémon with everything it has left. However, just it could land its Giga Impact, Charizard grabbed Gliscor and fired its strongest Flamethrower at close range which created a huge explosion and both Pokémon crashed on the ground. Charizard and Gliscor barely managed to stand up, but after a while Gliscor hit the ground with swirly eyes.
"Gliscor is unable to battle. Charizard is unable to battle," announced the referee.
"Gliscor, return. You were amazing," said Ash as he returned his Sinnoh ground/flying – type.
"Now Ash has only one Pokémon remaining," said Serena with sadness.
"Let's just hope Greninja can defeat Charizard," said May with a concern.
"Charizard battled Pikachu and Gliscor and it must be feeling tired," said Brock.
"We've been through so much. We made it all the way to the finals," thought Ash. "Let's do this. Greninja, I choose you."
"This is it, folks. The final match will be between Ash's Greninja and Trevor's Charizard," shouted Goodshow.
"Let's begin. Charizard, Dragon Pulse," said Trevor.
"Greninja, Hydro Pump," said Ash.
To be continued…
That's all for now! The battle between Greninja and Charizard will probably be in two chapters. I'll see you all next time.
