ONTO THE SHOW
Chapter ~ Pikachu Vs The Strongest Charizard
Pikachu's Iron Tail clashed with Zard's Dragon Claw as the Mega Evolution and Pikachu went toe to toe.
Pikachu found an opening, before slamming his tail across Zard's cheek, only to be grabbed and hit with a Fire Blast, and then thrown to the ground.
Zard went to slam down an Earthquake, which send Pikachu flying into the air.
Once Pikachu had landed, and gotten his bearings, both he and Ash looked at Charizard XY and stared down their opponent. Zard XY had a Dark Orange color, almost brown, and had purple flames extending from his mouth. The wings on Zard's back were curved, as the tips of the wings were ragged and sharp. As it's presence was made, the sky began to glow harshly, indicating that it had the drought ability, yet it's claws and close up attacks seemed to deal incredible damage. Tough Claws?
Or Maybe Both.
"Dragon Claw!" Red commanded. Zard's claws extended, as well as gaining a green glow, before he rushed Pikachu. Ash looked at Pikachu, both nodding, before Pikachu's body was enveloped in green energy, and a knot of grass extended from the ground, tripping Zard.
Pikachu rushed forward with Volt Tackle, and slammed into Zard, sending him tumbling back.
'Remind me to thank James for that TM!' Pikachu shouted to Ash, nodding, with a smile. The smile was short lived, as Pikachu was soon engulfed with a Flamethrower.
Pikachu began to wobble, feeling the effects of battle.
Red sighed. "Look, this is a nice battle and all, but we've got places to be. Finish this, Zard, with Flare Blitz." Red told him. Zard rushed towards Pikachu, picking him up and throwing him into the air, before enveloping himself in the powerful fire attack and rushing towards Pikachu, who was still in the air.
"Welp, good battle." Red said, as Ash watched Pikachu frantically fall through the air. If they were gonna turn this battle around, they had to use it.
"PIKACHU! BOLT STRIKE!" Ash shouted, making Red's expression change dramatically.
Pikachu regained his balance the best he could, before stretching his arms and feet out. As he did so, a ball of blue electricity surrounded Pikachu, and Pikachu began to fly, in a sense, towards Zard, colliding with the Flare Blitz.
The attacks clashed together, before both pokemon flew back. Pikachu gently floated down to the ground as Zard hovered in the air.
"Interesting.." Red said to himself. "You there! How does your Pikachu know the signature move of Zekrom?" Red asked Ash, who had been checking on Pikachu, too make sure they weren't too badly injured.
"Oh, it happened back when I had just turned Twelve, I think? We had just gotten to Unova, and Zekrom was on a rampage. When Pikachu tried to send a bolt of electricity up there, it fired back with a much more powerful attack, and hurt Pikachu pretty bad. For a while, Pikachu couldn't use his electric type attacks, but eventually they came back. We didn't know the attack did anything else until I was training on Mount Moon a few years ago." Ash explained.
"We had been training, and Pikachu fell off a cliff, thanks to a Tyranitar. As he attempted to reach the cliff-side to stop falling, he began to glow blue. We both noticed that eventually he just.. stopped falling, and was floating in midair. After about an hour of just sitting there, Pikachu was able to control the attack, sort of. After getting back up to me, we began to think about it, and the only thing we could come up with is Zekrom, seeing as Bolt Strike is it's move, and it did strike Pikachu with lightning." Ash finished. Red nodding, not quite understanding, but getting the idea.
"I see, so your Pikachu has a special move, that no other Pikachu has." Red explained to himself, before grinning.
"Well then, let's see if it can match Zard's Flare Blitz! GO ZARD!" Red shouted. Zard roared, before enveloping himself in a ball of fire, and shooting towards Pikachu.
"Bolt Strike!" Ash shouted. Pikachu once again enveloped himself in an electric ball, colliding with Zard's Flare Blitz. The two attacks flew into the sky, constantly butting heads.
The attacks ended, as Pikachu swung down an Iron Tail on Zard's Dragon Claw attack. The attacks collided for a few seconds, before Zard shoved Pikachu back, and the two pokemon once again butted heads with Flare Blitz and Bolt Strike.
The two attacks ran into each other at full force, before the attacks fell from the air straight into the ground. Pikachu's attack ended for a quick second, but it was more than enough for the Flare Blitz attack to hit Pikachu, slamming him into the ground, and exploding.
Getting up, but panting heavily, Pikachu shot of a Thunder Bolt, striking Zard, and making him fall to the ground.
Pikachu then launched a Thunder attack, as Zard, who landed on his feet, launched a Blast Burn. The attacks collided, causing a small crater to form in the center of the attacks.
Pikachu began to pant, nearly falling down. Ash began to worry, looking up quickly at Red, who's eyes were hidden by his hat. Despite this, Zard was clearly looking beat too. The next attack would end the battle.
"Finish it." Red commanded. Zard roared fiercely, before enveloping himself in a Flare Blitz three times the size of his previous ones.
"You too, Pikachu! Bolt Strike!" Ash yelled. Pikachu enveloped himself in the ball of blue electricity, before Charging at Zard, who did the same.
The attacks smashed together, neither side willing to give up. Pikachu squinted in pain, about to drop, before shouting, and putting the last of his power into the Bolt strike.
'I. WILL. NOT. LOSE!' Pikachu shouted, as the last of his strength went into the Bolt Strike, overcoming the Flare Blitz.
Both Red and Zard looked in shock, as the Bolt Strike expanded, and then blew up, with the Flare Blitz.
Smoke overcame the battlefield from the explosion, the wind from the attack even putting out the ring of fire. Ash felt himself get pushed back a few feet, as Red simply stood against the wind.
Pikachu walked out of the smoke cloud, before falling over, and looking back at the smoke cloud. Out of breath.
From the cloud of smoke, Zard emerged, flying out, and landing right next to Pikachu, putting his foot on Pikachu's body.
'Sorry, kid. But you lost.' Zard stated, before launching a Blast Burn, knocking Pikachu clear out.
Ash quickly ran up to Pikachu, and scooped him up.
"Pikachu! Pikachu! Are you alright!" Ash begged Pikachu to respond.
Pikachu slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ash, and frowning.
'Sorry... Ash...' Pikachu said, slowly crying, as he and Ash both realized that they were officially out of the tournament. All they could do was cheer on their friends.
"It's ok buddy. We can always challenge the gyms again." Ash told Pikachu, who began to cry.
"Hey, Pikachu, look buddy, there was nothing more you could have done." Ash told his best friend, who couldn't hold back his tears.
"Pikachu, I'm proud of you. You did more than I could ever ask for. Do NOT blame yourself for this loss." Ash told his friend, picking him back up. Pikachu slowly closed his eyes, fainting. Ash put his hand against Pikachu's chest to make sure he was still breathing, before sighing in relief.
"Get a good rest, buddy." Ash told his friend, grabbing the pokeball on his necklace, and returning the electric mouse, so he could sleep.
'Pokemon has fainted! Prepare for teleportation-'
"System overwrite. Voice Recognition. Red." Red suddenly said, after tending to Zard's conditions. Ash's Holo Caster stopped it's teleportation. Registering a few things, before beeping.
'Voice Recognized. Trainer will not be teleported. Please select a new pokemon.' Red walked over to Ash, before grabbing an unknown device, and spraying Pikachu's pokeball with it. The pokeball slowly began to glow green.
"There, he will heal up faster." Red stated.
Ash looked at Red in confusion. "But... why?" Ash quizzed. Red shrugged.
"What can I say? It was a great battle. Now come on, I'll take you to your friends." Red stated. Ash slowly nodded, a bit suspicious, before climbing on Zard with Red.
X.x.X
"I wonder how Ash is fairing." Caleb stated, as the crew began to hike the mountain.
"Well, Ash is very skilled, maybe he's winning." Brock suggested. Moments after he said that, a roar was heard, and Zard quickly landed in front of the crew.
"Or maybe we're ALL GOING TO DIE!" Aubree shouted, beginning to panic. She began to run, before being stopped by Justin.
"Save your energy, we can't outrun a Charizard." He told her.
The crew stared down the Charizard, before Ash jumped down.
"Ash?!" They all quizzed, shocked to see him on Red's Charizard.
"Hey guys.. so.. uh, I lost?" Ash told them, scratching the back of his head. Everyone deadpanned to this, before Zard simply jumped up and flew away.
Clemont walked up to Ash. "So.. you lost, but are allowed to stay in the tournament?" Clemont quizzed, to which Ash nodded in answer.
"Yea, I don't get it myself, guess he saw potential." Ash stated. "Anyway, Pikachu is really tired, as are all my other pokemon, aside from Meganium, so how about we maybe hide for a day?" Ash suggested. The crew all looked around, and nodded, before they followed Ash up the cliff.
X.x.X
Pika nuzzled against Red as they road Zard across the island.
'... So, what do you think?' Pika quizzed, looking up at Red. His eyes flared Blue for a quick second, before turning back to Red.
"It's definitely them."
