Pokemon! Pokemon! Pokemon! (Franklin appears on the left, Oak appears on the right, and Ash appears in the middle, holding a pokeball)
Lets do this! (Clouds separate to show Little Rock Island)
We're back in play, the show's began!(Cut screen as Justin and Caleb run down a path, and Serena and Bonnie perform in a show)
Let's give them what they want! (What they want! what they want!) (Max and Clemont are competing in a double battle)
You try to drag us down, but (The Traitors loom above the crew)
We're getting what we want! (Ash looks up, and grins, as the traitors disappear and the sky shines brightly)
Eight years, stolen from us, we have to do our best!(Justin trains with Aubree and Abel, who look determined.)
We know that we can win and show the world (Ash stands on opposite fields of the traitors, with Brock, Iris, and someone else in the middle, looking back and forth)
We are not who they say we are! (Pikachu rushes towards Charizard X)
We can prove that we are right! (Franklin holds unknown pictures with his stoic frown)
We're gonna prove that we're the very best! (The unknown Red pokemon launches a draco meteor at an unknown opponent)
Pokemon! (Let's go!)
Now let's go and win this! (Ash launches an aura sphere)
Pokemon!
Well, I was gonna look at the scholarship lottery, but I have no idea what I'm doing. Oh well. TIME FOR STORY!
Mixt: Liiiike this? :D
Lumigo: I will admit, Hungergames does come to mind with this xD
Abel: You'd be surprised at what I can do when my mind is in creative mode. Well the only thing that would stop me from using the idea is that Abel IS 16, and almost an adult. There would be no reason for Ash and Serena to adopt him, especially since they're still dating. (In a sense, they never really thought about it, they're only 20 xD) What do you mean Dangers? Abel is in the world tournament for a reason ya know xD He's a very high class trainer, and has gone on adventures, (notably in Hoenn, Kalos, Sinnoh, and Ore) Tbh, I don't think anyone remembered Aubree xD. Death you say? Yea, I toooootally don't have that planned. At all. No way whatsoever will someone die. Nope. You can't prove anything in court.
In The Betrayed Ones Return, by Nexxus176, Ash did adopt a girl, but that's the only story I can think of. Will think about it though.
ONTO THE SHOW
Chapter ~ The First Day: The Purple Haired Helper
"And Beckham wins the first match of Round 2 by taking out Altaria with his Haxorus! Good luck to all of you!" Omni's voice rang out among the island. Beckham cheered victoriously with his Haxorus, before another voice rang out.
"Sceptile, use dual chop!" Abel shouted, as Sceptile ran out from the forest with purple aura on his arms. Sceptile shot up to Haxorus and struck hard with the double attack, before jumping back.
"Not on our watch! Use Guillotine! Beckham retaliated, as Haxorous' mouth blades grew larger with a iron sheath, and shot towards Sceptile.
"Aegislash, use Kings Shield!" Justin shouted. At the speed of light, Aegislash appeared in front of Sceptile and blocked the incoming One hit K.O attack.
"Thunderbolt Pikachu, step on it!" Ash commanded. Pikachu jumped into the sky and fired a bolt of electricity, igniting Haxorus and successfully frying it. Haxorous wailed in pain, before falling onto the ground.
"What?! NO!" Beckham wailed as he returned Haxorous.
"Competitor has lost! Initiating teleport now!" Beckhams watch rang out. Just before leaving the island, Beckham gave the crew the evil eye, and, like a flash, he was gone.
"So when you lose, you teleport out of the island?" Serena quizzed as she and the rest of the crew came out of the forest.
"It looks like it, I didn't know such a device could be put on Holo Castors." Clemont added, looking at his in confusion.
"They can't! These are a special kind developed by Omni! They can use gps signal combined with warp pads to teleport people to a single warp pad back at Genzu!" Abel chirped, with slight pride that he knew something they didn't.
"Flamethrower!"
"Magical Leaf!"
The crew turned their attention to a flame thrower attack directed at Abamasnow and a magical leaf attack directed at Pikachu.
"Aegislash, protect Abamasnow with Kings shield!/ Prankster, use Shadow ball and destroy the leafs!" Justin and Caleb yelled respectively, with said pokemon doing as told.
In the distance, two trainers stood with a Roserade and Magmortar, ready to fire another attack.
Ash laughed. "Looks like we really do have a bunch of battles ahead of us! Are you guys ready?" Ash asked with a maniac grin, everyone else nodding in agreement.
"Well then, Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"
X-x-X
Omni watched from inside the blimp with a smile. From the looks of things, battles were taking place left and right, with more than two hundred contestants already out of the match. Of course, after a while the battles would die down, probably after around two thousand had been beat. Omni couldn't contain his excitement, the battles were so thrilling to watch. Making it a survival of the fittest round was a really good play on his part, and the footage would be playing 24/7 until the end of the round. It was just perfect!
Or at least, would be perfect, if not for some people.
"Professor Omni?" Sycamore quizzed, walking over to Omni.
"Yes, Sycamore?" Omni looked at the Kalos Professor, who looked slightly worried.
"If I may have a word with you." Sycamore asked, gaining a nod from Omni.
After a brisk walk away from the lobby room, Sycamore began to talk. "So, I've been wondering, but why did you allow Ash and such into this tournament? I don't mean to be a bother, but after all they did-" Sycamore started, only to be interrupted.
"I'm going to stop you right there with these simple questions. One. Where is Oak's proof? Until evidence is proven, a guilty verdict cannot be made, even if it is a world renowned professor. Second. Do any of those pokemon look abused in the slightest? No. I didn't think so. Now I must be going." Omni said, rather annoyed by the whole ordeal. He quickly walked away, leaving Sycamore to his thoughts.
As Omni walked back to his seat, to see an incoming phone call from Team Meowth: One of the ten teams dropping off supplies around the island. Omni clicked on the button, and Jessie, James, Meowth, and.. Anabel? appeared on screen.
"Hello Sir, we called on a question." James explained. Intriguing Omni.
"Go on.." He answered, giving them permission.
"Anabel here wants to go down and be a guide for Ash and his group. Of course she won't be battling, but we looked in the rules and there was nothing against it. If it was alright with you, we'd like to send her down." Jessie told him, a smile creeping on Omni's face.
He had indeed left that part out of the rulebook, he just didn't expect anyone to find it.
"Well done, Team Meowth. Didn't expect this. Ok then, feel free to drop her off." Omni stated, closing the screen and going back to watching the battles.
X-x-X
The crew sat back, their pokemon exhausted from all the work they just did.
"So... that was fifteen trainers we beat, and three ran off with smoke screen, did I get that correct?" Max asked, with Bonnie next to him nodding. The amount of battles they had just had in the span of thirty minutes was insane.
"If this is what it's gonna be like, we may wanna lay low every now and then." Justin suggested, gaining some nods of agreement. They continued to sit there, with some mild chat going on, before the Meowth Balloon slowly descended on the group.
"Don't these guys have a life?" Bonnie commented, earning a chuckle from Max, as the balloon landed right next to them. They expected Team Rocket to step out, but where surprised to see Anabel of all people.
"Anabel? What are you doing here?" Ash quizzed.
"I'm here to help you guys. Before you say anything, don't worry, it's allowed." Anabel answered, stopping Ash from interrupting her.
"But you can't battle, how do you intend to help us?" Bonnie asked, confused as to how Anabel could possibly help.
"Simple, I can sense when other trainers are around, and can work as a map!" Anabel explained.
"If you look at your holo castor, everything but contacts and the teleporter are disabled, meaning you can't access a map of the island. I, however-" Anabel smirked, holding out her own holo castor, "-can. With me, you guys can figure out the entire layout of the island." Anabel finished.
Justin put his hand on his chin, before saying, "Well if it's allowed, I don't see why not. It'll help us tremendously." he said, getting agreements from everyone else.
"Well Anabel-" Ash said. "-looks like you're sticking with us!"
3 Hours Later
"Blizzard Abamasnow!/Iron Tail Pikachu!" Serena and Ash both shouted, said pokemon launching their attacks. The Blizzard taking out a Kingdra, while Iron tail wiped out a Scizor. Both pokemon fainted, and were returned to their trainers as they teleported out.
"That makes ten trainers beat in the past three hours. Bringing our total to twentyfive." Justin tallied, as the crew walked up the mountain. They had gotten word that a supply drop of 20 hyper potions was being dropped there, and, with Anabel's help, they were taking the quickest way up the mountain.
"So, Justin, I had a question for you." Anabel said, getting said trainer's attention.
"Yeah? What is it?" Justin asked.
Anabel then pointed to Aubree. "So why did you decide to train her if you were dead set on training your brother and sister?" Anabel quizzed, purely out of curiosity.
Justin's face grew dark, and he did his best to keep a smile. "Well, I traveled around a lot before the whole ordeal went down. Me and Caleb did a lot of traveling in the time span of two years, and we matured a lot." Justin explained, Anabel nodding.
"After I got back from the Hoenn league, I decided I would take a break for one league and train my brother and sister on how to battle and raise pokemon. I was excited to teach someone what I knew about battling, but then Pine ruined that. He told everyone that I used infused steroids on my pokemon, and that I killed other pokemon to obtain Mew, who I met during my Kanto Journey. My family wouldn't even look at me. Now, I finally have that chance to teach someone, to finally be useful." Justin said with a smile. Anabel looked at him, confused.
"What do you mean, usefu-" Anabel began to ask, before looking up. "Seven trainers up the mountain. Prepare for battle you guys." She said, deciding to wait to ask about Justin's comment.
The crew ran up the mountain, ready to fight, and saw, as Anabel had said, seven trainers, with an Unfezant, Electivire, Krickitune, Muk, Scolipede, Excadrill, and Marshtomp.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the Unfezant!" Ash whispered to Pikachu, who shot off the attack at Unfezant, catching it completely off guard and sending it down to the ground, KO'd. The trainer teleported away as the other six trainers focused their attention on the battle.
The Krickitune launched an X-Scizzor at Abamasnow, who barely dodged the attack before firing a Blizzard at it. The Krickitune flew into the air and readied a Sing attack, which never got a chance to connect as Sceptile jumped into the air and hit it with Bullet seed. The Krickitune fell out of the air and was returned by it's trainer, who was then teleported away.
Excadrill charged towards Dedenne and Pikachu with a quick Drill run, only for both electric mice to dodge it and slam into it's head with an Iron tail. The Hippowdon created a sandstorm around the battlefield, causing Excadrill to become much faster with Sand rush. It shot at Dedenne and landed a hit with Drill run, but didn't KO Dedenne. Pikachu then shot at Excadrill with Quick attack and slammed it into the wall. The trainer returned Excadrill before, like their friend before them, teleported away.
Muk and Electivire both charged up a Focus Punch, as Gallade and Aegislash rushed towards them. As they both flung the attack at Gallade, Aegislash jumped in between with King's shield, blocking the attack, and allowing Gallade to hit both of them with Close Combat repeatedly. Both pokemon fell to the ground, as they were returned by their trainers, who soon teleported.
Scolipede faced the worn out Quilladen, before firing a Hyper beam as Quilladen attempted to protect itself from the attack. Prankster swooped in over the Scolipede and took the attack head on, being immune to it. Prankster then fired a shadow ball at Scolipede with such force, that it was able to take it out in one shot.
Now that all remained was the trainer of Hippowdon, who looked scared for a second, before launching an Earthquake.
Pikachu shot at Hippowdon and leaped into the air to dodge the attack, before bringing an Iron tail down on the Hippowdon's head, KOing it. The trainer returned his pokemon, but smirked. Before teleporting away, he pointed up towards the mountain. The Earthquake had caused an avalanche, and a big one at that.
"AHH! Everyone, run for it!" Abel shouted as the crew frantically ran down the mountain to escape the avalanche. No matter how fast everyone ran, the Avalanche was gradually picking up speed, and would hit the crew before long.
Abamasnow quickly grabbed his mistress, and put her behind him, and with his large body, held his ground against the incoming avalanche.
"Everyone, behind Abamasnow!" Serena shouted, with everyone quickly running behind him.
"Are we safe here?" Aubree asked, worried as the Avalanche got closer and closer.
Serena smiled and patted Abamasnow's back. "Abamasnow is part ice, he can take it." She answered, Abamasnow grunting in agreement. Bonnie smiled at the convenience before looking at her satchel and realizing something important.
Dedenne wasn't in the Satchel.
"Guys?! Where's Dedenne?!" Bonnie asked frantically, looking around for her pokemon.
"Over there!" Justin shouted. Ten yards away, Dedenne was frantically trying to run over, but was still tired from the last fight with Excadrill.
"Dedenne, quickly, this way!" Bonnie cried out, but it was too late. The avalanche rushed forward and hit Dedenne, dragging him away with it.
"DEDENNE!" Bonnie shrieked, with Clemont and Max holding her back as she tried to run out to him.
"Bonnie!" Dedenne cried out, before the Avalanche slammed Dedenne into a large rock.
Five minutes later, the Avalanche stopped, and Bonnie was released from her hold. She immediately ran towards Dedenne, to find him unconscious from the avalanche.
"It'll be ok, Dedenne, you'll be better." Bonnie soothed him, before returning Dedenne into his pokeball.
"Will Dedenne be ok?" Max asked, gaining a nod from Bonnie.
"Wait, if Dedenne fainted, does that mean-" Caleb started, only to be interrupted by Bonnie's Holo Castor.
"Pokemon has fainted! Initiating teleport now!"
Bonnie looked at the crew, who could only watch as Bonnie was teleported back to Genzu.
