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.14: The Kalos League Ends
"Alright, Greninja, start up with Water Shuriken," said Ash.
"Charizard, counter it with Solar Beam," said Trevor. Both Pokémon fired their attacks which created a huge smoke of dust when they collided. "Use Flamethrower."
"Greninja, dodge it and use Night Slash," said Ash. Greninja managed to dodge Charizard Y's Flamethrower and shot itself like a bullet towards the Kanto Pokémon and landed a powerful Night Slash. "Now use Ice Beam."
"Counter with Flamethrower," said Trevor. Greninja fired its Ice Beam, but Charizard easily managed to counter with Flamethrower.
"Use Night Slash," said Ash.
"Use Dragon Pulse," said Trevor. Greninja was about to hit Charizard with another Night Slash, but the Flame Pokémon managed to counter it with Dragon Pulse. "Use Solar Beam."
"Counter it with Ice Beam," said Ash. Both Pokémon fired their attacks which exploded when they collided. "Now use Water Shuriken."
Greninja fired three shuriken which successfully hit Charizard, but they didn't do as much as damage as before because of Charizard Y's Drought.
"Ash and Greninja are really fired up," said Bonnie with excitement. "They are definitely going to win."
"I can't believe just how powerful Greninja and Charizard are now," said Clemont.
"And Ash and Greninja still have the upper hand. Soon Drought will end and Greninja's water attacks will do a lot more damage," said Brock. It turns out he was right as the sharp sun disappeared.
"That's not good," thought Trevor. "Without the sun, Charizard will need time to charge Solar Beam."
"Greninja, use Ice Beam," said Ash.
"Charizard, dodge it," said Trevor. Even though Charizard heard the command, it didn't have time to react and was struck directly from Ice Beam. "You have to stay strong just for a little longer. Use Flamethrower."
Charizard fired a powerful Flamethrower which successfully hit Greninja, but the Kalos Pokémon didn't seem much effected.
"Greninja, use Night Slash to get close," said Ash. Greninja formed a dark blade in its right hand and used its full speed to get close to Charizard.
"Charizard, use Air Slash," said Trevor. Right before Greninja could land its Night Slash, the Ninja Pokémon was hit by Air Slash which caused it to flinch. "Finish this with Solar Beam."
"We've got an opening, Greninja. Use Water Shuriken," said Ash. Charizard began charging up a Solar Beam, but it was hit by five super-effective shuriken which caused it to lose focus. "Use Ice Beam."
Greninja fired a powerful Ice Beam and Charizard became frozen solid.
"Not now," shouted Trevor in shock.
"Let's finish this up. Use Hydro Pump full power," shouted Ash. Greninja fired its most powerful Hydro Pump attack which struck Charizard directly, causing the fire – type to break free from the ice and was slammed into the wall behind Trevor. The Lumiouse City trainer looked at his Pokémon and fell to his knees to see Charizard with swirly eyes.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Greninja is the winner," announced the referee. "The victory goes to Ash from Pallet Town."
As Greninja turned back to normal, As was staring with a shock. He finally did it. He won the Kalos League!
"Pika Pikachu," said Pikachu as he jumped on Ash's shoulders, snapping its trainer from his thoughts. As soon as Ash realized what happened, a huge smile was formed across his face and ran up to Greninja.
"We did it, Greninja. We won," said happily the Kanto native.
"Ninja," said Greninja.
"He did it," said Bonnie full of excitement.
"He had definitely become a lot stronger since I last saw him," thought Brock.
"There you have it, folks," said Goodshow. "After a lot of tough battles, Ash wins the Kalos League. The young trainer really surprised us with a lot different strategies. I think the biggest surprise was Greninja's transformation, but Gliscor being able to move after Giga Impact and Buizel's Ice Aqua Jet sure were amazing as well."
"Ash, that was a great battle," said Trevor as he extended his hand towards Ash. "You and Greninja are pretty difficult to beat."
"Thanks, Trevor," said Ash as he shook Trevor's hand. "Let's have a battle again some time."
"I'd like that," said Trevor as he turned to the exit of the arena.
"Now, I'd like to invite Ash on the stage to receive the Kalos League Trophy," said Goodshow.
"We better go, guys," said Ash to Pikachu and Greninja. "Are you ready?"
Both Pokémon nodded and Ash went to the stage where Mr. Goodshow and Diantha were waiting for him.
"Ash, I'd like to say that I still remember you from the Indigo League," said Goodshow. "I've been watching you compete in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. You've always put up some great battles and as far as I know, your Sceptile is still the only Pokémon to have ever defeated Tobias' Darkrai."
"Thanks. Competing in hard battles is what I like the most," said Ash as he and Goodshow shook hands.
"Now without anymore waiting, it's my honor to give you the Kalos League trophy," said Goodshow as he gave Ash a gold trophy with Ash's name on it. "I'd also like to take a picture of you and your Pokémon. You see, my granddaughter is a huge fan of yours."
"Sure, no problem," said Ash as he send out his Gliscor, Swellow, Servine and Buizel. "OK, everyone, let's give a big smile to the camera." Ash and his Pokémon faced the camera with smiles and the golden trophy in the middle.
"All done. One more thing. My granddaughter asked me if I could get your autograph," said Goodshow.
"It won't be a problem at all," said Ash as he signed the picture.
"Thanks, Ash. Now go and celebrate with your friends," said Goodshow. "But first, a few words from the Champion, Diantha."
"Ash, you had some pretty exciting battles," said Diantha. "I'm glad that you won the Kalos League. I really want to experience at first hand what you and Greninja are capable of. You have as much as time as you need to train for the upcoming challenges."
"Thanks, Diantha," said Ash. After a few more minutes, Ash left the arena and went to the Pokémon Center to meet up with his friends.
To be continued…
That's all for now. Ash has finally won the Kalos League! Don't worry though. Ash is about to face of some pretty difficult challenges and that includes his battles with the Kalos Elite Four and Diantha. I'd also like to say that Serena, May, Bonnie, Brock and Clemont will go with him to Kanto.
