Hey Guys! Did you miss me? That's right, the hiatus is OVER! Now, I know I said I wanted to finish the arc before I left, but I just couldn't think of anything for the story. Everything just led to more blanks. But I think I've got it figured out, so here we go! The continuation of ULTIMATE COMEBACK!
Chapter ~ Justin vs Aubree
Justin continued staring at the girl holding out a pokeball towards him. "Well? Are we gonna battle or what?" The girl quizzed as Justin sweatdropped at the girls attitude. The girl had long Light blonde hair that descended all the way down to her waist. She had steel blue eyes and seemed to be just a year older than Max and Bonnie.
Justin turned his attention to the living room where the crew was attempting to comfort Ash after the news of his mother's gruesome death. Justin frowned, knowing this probably wasn't the best time for a battle. Then again, battles always seemed to lift Ash's spirits, and he enjoyed watching them just as much as he did battling them. He turned towards Aubree before speaking again.
"Um, one second, please. I'll be right back." And with that, Justin closed the door and walked over to Serena, before tugging on her shirt, earning a slap to the face.
"Why would you tug my shirt?! This is from Sparkling Gardevoir, and it can't be-" Serena began to complain, only for Justin to sh her and gesture for her to follow him to another room.
"Look, you know Ash more than anyone, and I need to know if this would lift his spirits." Justin explained, once they got out of hearing distance from the others, to Serena, who nodded in understanding. "-So, outside, I just got challenged to a battle, and I would like to know if maybe watching the battle would make him somewhat happier, or at the very least, take his mind away from his mother's death." Justin finished, looking outside to see the girl was still there. She was, but she looked disappointed. He needed to hurry.
"Well, it's the best shot we have, but do you think this is the best idea? Ash needs to mourn." Serena objected to Justin, who nodded in understanding, before-
*Tack, Tack, Tack!* "Hey, are you gonna battle me or what?" Justin and Serena jumped, and turned their attention to the window, which was being knocked on fairly loudly by Aubree. Justin and Serena tried to stop her, but to no avail, and the persistent knocking gained the attention of everyone else.
"Uh, guys, what's with the girl out the window?" Max quizzed as he turned his attention to the girl outside, sweatdropping when she tripped on something and fell down.
"I don't know. All I know is that her name is Aubree, and she challenged me to a battle about three minutes ago." Justin responded. At the mentioning of the word, battle, Ash's face seemed to light up.
"A battle, huh? Go for it, she might give you a challenge, Justin." Ash stated, shocking, basically, everyone that Ash supported the idea. Justin grinned to see that the idea might just work, before turning to the girl outside the window.
"I accept your challenge. Let's do this." Justin finally responded to the girl, who grinned in delight, before bolting to the front door, as Scott, Abel, Omni, and Anabel followed. Omni led the small group to the battlefield behind his house. Around the area, there were a good amount of Eevee playing, many of who Omni had to make leave the battlefield before walking up to the ref podium.
"How does a three on three battle sound?" Aubree quizzed to Justin, who nodded in response.
"Alright then, this will be three on three battle with no time limit! Let the battle begin!" Omni pronounced as Justin and Aubree both threw out a pokeball. Aubree threw out a Cryogonal, while Justin had an Aegislash.
-zZ Aubree Vs Justin Zz-
"Alright, lets start of strong, with Ice beam, Tear Drop!" Aubree commanded as the Icy pokemon shot off a beam towards the sword pokemon."
"Counter with King Shield!" Justin commanded as a shield formed in front of Aegislash, rendering the ice attack worthless.
"Ok, now use night slash!" Aubree commanded as the edges on the pokemons body formed dark aura, and the Cryogonal shot towards the ghost type, intent on getting the super effective move.
"Take it, and then use swords dance!" Justin responded as TearDrop crashed into Aegislash, dealing damage as blue swords appeared around Aegislash and raised its attack.
"Keep up the pace, with night slash!" Aubree commanded again as the Cryogonol continued to slash at the sword pokemon.
"King shield, then go in for the aerial ace!" Justin retaliated, as the shields formed again, stopping TearDrop's attack, then swinging and hitting the snowflake with the flying type move.
"Back away, and then go for sheer cold!" Aubree continued as TearDrop fled to another side of the field and shot the K.O move at Aegislash.
"Shadow sneak, and end this!" Justin finished as the sword pokemon dissipated into the shadows, effectively dodging the ice attack, and appearing right behind the Cryogonal, and delivering a fatal strike, that sent the snowflake crashing into the ground, knocked out.
"TearDrop is unable to battle! Please send out your next pokemon Aubree!" Omni announced as Aubree returned the snowflake, and thanked it for battling hard.
"That wasn't too bad a battle, considering that Justin's aegislash looks pretty tired from the night slash onslaught." Max commented as the crew watched the battle from the sidelines. Serena nodded in agreement, before turning to see Ash still depressed, despite the battle going on before them.
"Ash, you ok?" Serena quizzed towards the male trainer, who turned quickly and nodded with a fake smile. Serena frowned and looked towards Pikachu, who hadn't even spoken a word since finding out about Delia, and had just sat silently the entire time.
"You two, come with me." Serena told the trainer and mouse pokemon, who looked at her confused, until she grabbed Ash by the ear, and dragged him with her, with Pikachu following suit.
"Alright, let's go Ribbon!/ Go on out Astro!" Aubree and Justin shouted as a Sylveon and Glaceon materialized from Aubree and Justin respectively.
"Hey, eeveelutions, this oughta be fun!" Aubree stated excitedly, causing Justin to grin at the hyper attitude. "Alright, Ribbon, start off strong with Moon Blast!" Aubree continued as the Sylveon shot off a powerful ball of fairy energy towards the Glaceon.
"Hail, and then Blizzard!" Justin countered as the Glaceon shot a ball of ice into the sky, and clouds began to form, dropping hail into the battlefield. The ice eeveelution dissipated in the hail storm, effectively dodging the moon blast. Aubree looked around frantically for the attack, until a giant gust of ice came spiraling from the left side and pelting the Sylveon and sending it flying.
"Use sunny day to put out the hail, and then use fairy wind!" Aubree commanded as the ribbon pokemon shot a red sphere into the clouds and the clouds dissipated and the Glaceon reappeared from it's hiding. The sylveon then shot a wind of pixie dust towards the Glaceon, pelting it with pixie dust.
"Icy wind to counteract, and then use last resort!" Justin countered as Glaceon shot a gust of freezing wind to counter the pixie wind, canceling out the rest of the move, before charging up a glowing ball of energy, and blasting it towards the sylveon.
"Dodge, Ribbon! Then grab it with your feelers!" Aubree shouted from her end of the field. The fairy type pokemon dodged the giant ball of energy with grace before rushing up to the Glaceon, and grabbing it with her feelers, and then bringing it up to her.
"Looks like Justin lost this round." Max stated, watching the battle intensely. Anabel and Omni looked at him, confused.
"What makes you say that?" Anabel quizzed as she watched the fairy type real in the ice type.
"Justin raised his Glaceon to dodge attacks. It doesn't take them well at all. That's why he has hail, to have snow cloak kick in." Max explained to Anabel, who nodded in understanding.
"You sure do know a lot." Bonnie commented, earning a blush from Max, who hid it, however. Bonnie, herself, blushed when she realized she said that allowed. A certain wish pokemon noticed both of them, while everyone else failed to see it.
"Alright, let's finish this off! Last resort!" Aubree finished when Ribbon had brought the glaceon right in front of her.
"Use your own Last Resort!" Justin retaliated as both eeveelution shot off the massive attack in each others faces, and exploded in the near radius of both pokemon. When the explosion ended, both eeveelutions were on the ground, K. O'd.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle! Aubree, choose your last pokemon! And Justin, call out your next pokemon!" Omni announced as both trainers recalled their pokemon, and grabbed their next pokeball.
"Alright, Alisha! Your turn!" Aubree shouted as an Absol appeared from its pokeball and stared down the opposite field.
"Alright, Aegislash, its time to come ba-" Justin started, only to be interrupted.
"Um, actually, if I could ask a favor?" Aubree asked, causing Justin to sweat drop, but nod. "I kind of want to battle your Absol, to see how it compares to mine." Aubree finished, making everyone in the area deadpan. Justin sighed, at first, before grabbing his Absol's pokeball.
"Alrighty then! Guess you get another battle today! Come on out, Absol!" Justin proclaimed as his Absol materialized from its own pokeball, and faced its opponent, which happened to be it's own species.
"Alright, let's start this off with Shadow Claw!" Aubree commanded as Alisha rushed towards the opponent, who sat still.
"Sucker punch!" Justin countered, as Absol's horn glew a purplish dark, and then swung it towards Alisha, hitting her before she could attack. Due to getting hit a split second earlier, Alisha lost her focus and didn't do as much damage as intended to Justin's Absol, only pushing it back a little.
"Now, use night slash repeatedly!" Aubree continued as Alisha rushed forward, with her horn glowing with Dark aura.
"Wait for it..." Justin said as Absol sat still, awaiting the attack.
"Now! Use psycho cut on the ground in front of you!" Justin shouted as Absol shot three purple arcs toward the ground, and sent sand flying everywhere from its impact. Alisha, who had been right in front of Absol when it happened, got sand all in her eyes, making her stop her movement and blocking her sight.
"Now, use Guillotine!" Justin shouted, attempting to finish the battle, as Absol rushed forward with an iron sheath on her horn, rushing towards the sightless Absol.
"Alisha, dodge to the right!" Aubree shouted, as the Absol jumped to right, allowing her to dodge the K.O move."
"Again!" Justin shouted, hoping to still end the battle.
"Now, jump back!" Aubree continued as Alisha jumped back, again dodging the attack.
"Keep going, they can't dodge forever!" Justin proclaimed as Absol continued the onslaught, as Alisha continued to dodge over and over again.
"I don't get it, why is Justin still using that move? Normally, he only does it once." Caleb questioned as he watched the battle intently.
"I think I know why." Anabel stated, gaining a quizzed look from Caleb. "He's testing her. I can here what his Absol's saying to him." She explained, gaining a nod from Caleb.
"You must be pretty good in your ability to here that. I can't even here what she's telling him." Caleb stated, earning a glare from Anabel, making him freeze.
"Why do you think I'm the ability frontier brain? I am the best at this." Anabel said with a glare, in which Caleb defensively held up his hands. Unknowing that she was teasing.
"Alright, I've seen enough. Absol, use Guillotine one last time!" Justin shouted as Absol suddenly changed her speed, and shot right in front of Alisha, not giving her any time to react, and hitting her with the K.O move, knocking her out on the spot.
"Alisha is unable to battle, meaning Absol, Astro, and Aeigislash are the winners of the battle!" Omni announced as Justin thanked Absol, before returning her.
"You did great, Alisha, thanks for great dodging." Aubree complimented her pokemon, before returning it.
"I have to say, Alisha did really good at dodging, Aubree. It's not often that Absol and I have to go at full speed for that." Justin stated to the younger trainer, who grinned at him.
"Thanks! Alisha was my starter pokemon, and is my best friend, so the compliment means alot! Although, I do have a question about that last battle." Aubree pondered, as Justin signaled for her to go ahead and ask.
"Why did you continue to use Guillotine?" Aubree quizzed towards Justin, who grinned.
"It was a test. You and your pokemon are very good, so I decided to see just how well Alisha trusted you, so I have a proposition." Justin explained to the girl, who gave him a confused look.
"Uh, what is it?" Alisha quizzed to Justin. As she asked this, Mew materialized from his pokeball and landed next to Justin, knowing what was about to be asked.
"How would you like me to teach you to be an even better trainer than you are now?" Justin quizzed. In the background, everyone watching the battle's jaw hit the ground.
Chapter End ~
I gotta say, I love how this first chapter after the hiatus came out. A great long battle, a new character, mystery, and just overall good quality. At least I think. So what do you guys think? Again, I apologize for the wait, but I'm back baby! And Better than ever!
Alright, couple of things before I leave.
1) Im trying to write as often as possible, but I still have school. If you want, I encourage you to read my other story that I'm writing as well, Pokemon: A new Generation, that follows Justin in a different timeline. I enjoy writing it, and I think you would too, its not dark, though. I write one dark story at a time.
