The Kalos Champion Chapter 3
Upon arriving at Lumiose City the rest of the elite four and the champion are greeted by Clemont and Bonnie, while three of the eight frontier brains are awaiting there arrival at the gym. While waiting the Kalos queen Serena arrives and soon after everyone else does afterwards Dawn arrives and they head to eat breakfast. What they didn't count on was running into the group of traitors who try to challenge Bonnie but end up battling Barry in a two on one battle. Barry easily over powers the two trainers with having a all round powerful Rhyperior. After the battle they tried to battle dirty but Ash's Lucario with ease took care of two of there pokemon. Now we find the group at the stadium waiting for the opening ceremony to signal the start of the tournament.
"So who do you think will make the top four" Serena asked Dawn. They were waiting by two big doors that lead into the stadium.
"Does it really matter Paul, Barry, Korrina and Bonnie will beat anybody that isn't on their level" Dawn said confident her friends can easily take on anybody.
"That's not what I mean Dawn, I mean do you think any of the traitors will make the top four" the honey blond said.
Dawn thought about it, sure they were strong but this is Kalos the strongest of the six regions. "Well I don't know I've seen pretty strong trainers from Kalos come out of no where" she said to her friend.
"Do you think they know about Mega evolution?" Serena was curious, sure Mega evolving was super rare but in the past year more trainers have been able to get that power.
"Well probably but as far any of them having one I doubt it" Dawn said.
"Hey you two, what are you talking about" Ash said walking up to the two girls.
"Just wondering who the top four will be, who do you think it will be?" Serena asked her crush or more said love.
"Really don't know but I can sense lots of strong aura in that arena" he said looking pumped to final get a fight.
"So any ideas on who your three pokemon are going to be for the exhibition match" Dawn said looking at the brown eye teen. When ever she was around Ash she would often find herself staring into his deep brown eyes.
"Honestly I think I'm only using one pokemon" he said smiling.
"Why?" Dawn said raising her right eyebrow while looking at him.
"Well I just think it would make it fair" he said rubbing the back of his head.
Dawn walked up to him and licked her thumb to rub of some chocolate from his lip. This made Ash blush and Serena fill with jealousy. "There, all handsome again" she said looking up at him, she stood at 5'6 while he stood at 6'0.
"Aww how cute!" They turned to see a jumping Bonnie along with the other elite four members.
"Bonnie settle down" Korrina said putting her hands on Bonnie's shoulder to calm the jumpy girl.
"You two should head up to the balcony there about to start" Paul said telling the Dawn and Serena to go with the frontier brains.
"Alright party pooper, bye Ash don't let them bring you down" she said hugging him.
"Never" he whispered to her, they separated and it was Serena who came up to Ash. "Stay focus my king" she said hugging "as you wish queen" he said into her hair, when they broke the hug she gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran grabbing Dawn's hand so she wouldn't run to Ash to give him a kiss of her own.
They left upstairs leaving a redden Ash standing there confused.
"Ash no time for zoning out there gonna introduce us" Barry said snapping a finger at the champions face, snapping him out of the trance.
"Right, you ready" Ash said to his elite four who nodded their heads as the doors opened.
~ Tracey and Brock ~
"Between Max and Gary who do you think well face the champion" Tracey asked his older friend.
"Well if my hunch is correct and Ash is the champion than no doubt Gary well face him" Brock said.
"You think someone like Ash is the champion, champion of the strongest region" Tracey said, he didn't want to believe Brock's theory on Ash being the champion.
"I'm telling you he's strong, his Lucario stopped both hammer arm and thunder punch as if it here being attacked by babies" he said remembering what happened an hour ago.
"I'm more worried about those elite four you were talking about" Tracey said remembering last nights battle.
"Yeah they can get pretty ruthless when someone says a negative thing about Ash" Brock said looking at the 32 trainers competing in the tournament of those 32, 6 of them were there friends.
Gary, Misty, May, Max, Drew and Iris were competing in the tournament. Gary entered only to prove he was the strongest of the group. Misty entered it to use as a practice tournament for her water types. May and Drew entered to sharpen their coordinator skils, while Max entered in preparation for the Lumiose City gym.
"Hello you two" said an old man with a woman standing behind him smiling at the young adults.
"Professor Oak and Mrs. Kecthum" Tracey looking at the two Kanto natives.
"Hello Tracey, Brock" said Professor Oak
"You two made it" Brock said
"Of course we did it's been so long since we've come to you all battle" Delia said taking a seat next to the Professor.
"Seems we made it just in time for the opening ceremony" Professor Oak said looking at the two big doors opening.
"Yeah but it's going to be a shock" Brock said looking at the 5 teens making their way to the center of the battle field.
~ Announcer ~
"Ladies and gentleman let me introduce you to the elite four!" He said as the crowd cheered loudly for their elite four.
"First it's the beautiful and energetic Bonnie! The youngest of the elite and a native of Lumiose City!" He said with excitement as the crowd roar for their hometown heroine.
She had the same outfit on from last night expect this time she had two gold bracelets around her right ankle and a was wearing a white long sleeve jacket that fit her a little big.
"Next it's the fighting specialist and the oldest of the elite four Korrina from Shalour City!" He said as she waved at everyone.
She wears black sweats with a white shirt that has the mega symbol on it her white gloves are now blue, with black trim and her mega ring is on it as before, she also has black shoes that can still turn into roller skates and has her hair in a single long pony tail.
"Now I introduce the sometimes clumsy but powerful Barry! Who is a Sinnoh native but he should just call Kalos his home already" he says as the crowd cheers loudly for the blond.
He still wears his clothing only now his scarf is longer reaching down to his knees and where's a trench coat like his father with his mega stone on a black belt.
"Now we get to the strongest of the elite four, he also comes from Sinnoh where he even battled against our champion it's Paul!" Everyone cheered as loud as they could for the strongest of the elite four.
He now wears a purple long sleeve shirt with a black button up shirt over it and has black denims jeans and has mega stone on a bracelet that his brother gave him when he became an elite four member.
The group of traitors watched as each member was being introduce with rage in their eyes.
More than anything now all they want to accomplish is defeating the elite four and going after Ash.
~ Flashback ~
"Oh no what happened to your pokemons" Nurse Joy said shocked at how badly injured Blaziken and Dragonite were.
"We battled with Barry of the elite four" May said with her head down, she knew this was her fault for saying things about Ash even after Gary warned her she still did it.
"This is so strange for the elite four to be acting so ruthless to their opponents pokemon" Nurse Joy said as she called multiple Chansey came out to help the injured pokemon to the emergency room.
"May this isn't your fault" Max said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yes it is" Gary said looking at the girl with angry eyes, not only did she go against what he said but because of her not only was her Blaziken seriously injured but so was Iris's Dragonite.
"Gary don't you think thats a bit harsh to say" Misty said coming to defend May.
"No shes responsible for this not to mention attacking when her opponent had their back turned to them" he said.
"Your right I'm sorry" they heard May lowly say. She had her head down but everyone saw the tears dipping down to the floor.
"Listen you want pay back right" Gary said
"Yes more than anything!" She said looking up at the teen with tears flowing down her cheek.
"Than use that anger to battle one of those damn elites" he said looking at her.
"Yeah we'll do the same May" she looked at the green hair boy Drew.
"I want Bonnie" she said still determined to get revenge for her little brother.
"I'll get Barry" Max said wanting to get his revenge for May.
"I don't have anything against that blond chick with long hair but I'll take her" Misty said with a smirk.
"I'll take on that Paul guy" Gary said
"Hey what makes you guys think you'll be battling them!" Iris said she wants pay back for her Dragonite.
"She is right, why are you taking us out of the mix, we might end up battling them" Drew said.
Gary smiled at this they were all determined to take down the elite four, but he was more determined to annihilate Ash.
~ End of Flashback ~
"Now with great honor I would like to introduce our champion Ash!" Said the announcer as the crowd stood on their feet to cheer for him.
To all the traitors it wasn't such a surprise to them after moments ago he showed how powerful he has become, but to Tracey it shocked him he looked to right and saw Brock not shocked at all just angry at how much stronger the teen is now.
On Brock's left you could see the complete shock on Professor Oak's face. Next to him was Ash's mother who was close to crying she hasn't seen her son in over 6 years. She's missed 6 years of her little boys life and it's her fault and she knows it is.
"My little Ash is the champion" she said nearly choking on every word that came out of her mouth.
"How is this possible, you can not tell me that the ten pokemon that chose to stay with him brought him here" Professor Oak said.
"Actually he might have caught new pokemon, early today he had a Lucario with him a very powerful Lucario" Brock said not taking his eyes off the young champion.
"Alright champion would you do us the honor of lighting up the tournaments flame" said the announcer.
"With great honor, come fourth my friend" Ash said releasing a pokemon from his pokeball.
Charizard came out roaring as loud as it could showing it's power off with roar that could send a pokemon flying back.
"Charizard light the fire" he said as Charizard released a stream of flames heading for a gold torch at the top of the stadium, hitting his mark it lit a fire on the torch to signal the start.
"Good luck to all the competitors I look forward to battling the winner" Ash said returning his powerful fire type.
"You heard our champion so let's see todays matches that are lined up" the announcer said as everyone looked at the big screen under the golden torch to see todays battles.
"No why this early" Brock said as his eyes sat on the block a's first battles, with one of them being Drew vs Max.
"No way" Drew said looking at the screen.
"Guess if it had to happen sooner or later, it's better that it is sooner don't you agree Drew" the younger teen said looking at his friend.
Drew smirked and looked at Max "you bet Max so lets give it our all" he said.
~ 1 hour later ~
The first two matches of group A were done to say those matches were boring was hitting the bullseye.
"There are so many weak competitors" whined Barry, not one match so far has been exciting enough to get him pumped up.
"Well maybe the next to will get you fired up" Ash said looking at the two traitors walking on the their side of the field.
~ The Battle ~
"You ready Max!" Drew hollered from his side.
"Born ready, let's make it interesting if you beat me I'll let you date May" the younger teen said.
"Oh deal!" Drew said
"You two idiots can't use me as a trophy!" May yelled from the stands.
"Alright come on out Absol!" Drew said tossing his pokeball into the air and his dark type showed up.
"Of course it would be Absol, alright than I choose you!" Max shouted releasing Heracross.
"Ash isn't that" Dawn said but Ash finished the sentence for her "yeah my Heracross" he said.
"Just like you Max to try and get any advantage" Drew said smiling.
"Go megahorn!" Max said as Heracross horn glew green and got bigger.
"We can do the same go Absol megahorn!" Drew said as his dark type did the same attack as Heracross.
Both pokemon came to collide in the center of field with neither wanting to give in to the other.
"See now this is more like it,head to head battling with equal strength" Barry said standing on his feet.
Both pokemon went sliding back, both their trainers smirking at how fun this battle is going to be.
"Absol charge it with shadow claw!" Drew said as his dark type's claw glowed purple as a shadow claw appeared.
"It's only fair we use this I guess, Heracross use your shadow claw to match it!" Max said as once again both pokemon charged each other to meet at the center. This time both attacks hit there target and both pokemon took some damage.
"Absol psycho cut!" Drew said as his dark type unleashed his psychic move from it's horn.
"Heracross protect" the bug type was protect from the attack with a green shield, when the barrage of attacks ended "charge it megahorn" he said as Heracross let it protection down and charged the dark type with it's bug type move.
"Keep it at bay, use dark pulse!" The dark type lauched the dark stream right Heracross, sending it back just as Drew planned it would.
"Go back with shadow claw" Max said
"Alright I'll bite, Absol you use shadow claw also" Drew said as once again both pokemon charged each other. Only this time the claws collided with each other, this made dark streams come out as each pokemon fought for the upperhand.
"Got you, now Heracross focus blast" the bug/fighting used his free hand to create a yellow ball of energy and hit Absol direct with the powerful fighting move.
"Absol you okay" Drew said worried his dark type took heavy damage, Absol nodded its head signaling it wants to end this now.
"Alright megahorn!" It charged the opposing pokemon.
"You as well Heracross" once again both collided struggling to over power one another.
"Focus blast" Heracross focused his energy and Drew wasn't going to let that happen again.
"Now Absol cut it while it's still charging, psycho cut" he said as his Absol moved up its horn to disrupted the attack and hit Heracross directly with its attack.
"Go charge it once again megahorn" Max said
"You too Absol" both pokemon again collide, "now knock it into the air with shadow claw" Max said as Heracross did exactly that.
"Absol flip and go down on it using shadow claw on both of your claws" Absol flipped and went straight down with it's claws forward.
"Heracross shadow claw and focus blast" Max said as his fighting first used the ghost move and than the fighting type. This made the focus blast have the ghost move as a second layer, so now it glew both yellow and purple.
"Lets finish this!" Both trainers yelled.
Heracross moved his attack upward to Absol who was coming down with both it's shadow claws. When both attacks collided it had enough energy to shake the ground and cause a shock wave. Both trainers had the shield themselves from any debris coming at them.
"Oh what an epic finish!" Barry said looking over the balcony, excited to see who has the winner of this incredible match.
Dawn went to where Barry was and saw Ash's mother and Professor near Tracey and Brock. "Hey Ash your mom is here" she said motioning him to come over to her.
He stood up and walked over to her and saw where she was pointed and sure enough there was is mother.
He was going to say something but at that moment the smoke cleared and we turned his attention back to the battle.
Everyone was shocked that both pokemon were standing with Absol being the worst injured.
"Absol fall back" Drew said as his disaster pokemon jumped back.
"I really thought that would of been the final attack, but it seems neither of our pokemon are willing to give up" Drew said
"Drew I never knew you of all people would be this strong" Max said to him.
"Well I just really want a date with your sister" Drew said smiling.
A blush came across May's face when she heard him and hoped no one saw this, luckily for her no one did.
"Drew you really are a fool in love" Max said smiling at how determine Drew was when it came to his sister.
"Yahoo! This is what I'm talking about keep battling!" They looked over the balcony of the elite four and the champion to see Barry yelling at them to keep battling.
When he did this the whole crowd did as well wanting the battle to keep going.
"Well we don't want to disappoint the crowd do we?" Drew said smirking.
"You're right so let's give them what they want" he said with a smirk of his own.
"Megahorn!" Shouted both trainers as their respective pokemon charged one another.
They collided their horns once again, "Heracross lock your horn on Absol's" Max said.
The bug/fighting type moved it's horn to be locked in with Absol's. The dark type struggled to escape but could not.
"Now lift it up" the horn pokemon lifted the disaster pokemon up. "Now charge up focus blast" he added as Heracross begun to gather energy for the attack.
"Now what I have nothing" Drew thought to himself.
It was too late Heracross moved his head to unlock the horns and as Absol came down he hit the pokemon directly with focus blast.
"No Absol get up" Drew said as he saw his dark type struggling to his feet, he had hope but it all vanished when Absol fainted.
"Absol is unable to battle therefore the winner is Heracross and Max from Petalburg City" the referee said.
~ The Traitors ~
"Oh no Drew lost" May said a bit disappointed.
"Awww May you really wanted that date with Drew" Misty said eyeing May.
She blushed at this and blushed Misty away from her.
~ The Group ~
"Oh wow! What a match" Barry said looking at Drew and Max shake hands in the middle of the field.
"Agreed" Ash said smiling as he looked to the field.
"Yes that was a good battle but honestly they are too weak for us" Korrina said placing her chin on her hands.
"That was a boring battle if you ask me" said Paul.
"Paul you can battle Ash and still think it was boring" Dawn said standing next to Ash.
"Hey no I wouldn't!" Paul yelled at the blue hair girl.
"She is right Paul you find everything boring" said Serena from the right side of Ash.
"You are all crazy!" He shouted
"Ash!" Ash heard his name being yelled from the field. He turned around and looked at the field to see Max staring intensely at him, this made him raise an eyebrow at boy.
"What is it?" The champion said to the young teen.
Max held up his hand in a fist up to Ash "you still owe me that battle you promised" he said.
Ash smiled remembering he promised Max to battle him when he starts his journey to becoming a pokemon master.
"Oh yeah I did promise you that, I'll be glad to battle you" he said smiling "well you use Pikachu, he has old friends that want to battle him" he saw the yellow mouse jump out of the stands and runs up to Max's shoulder.
"Does that answer your question" Max said as Pikachu let out small sparks.
"Good I look forward to our battle" Ash said.
"Ash are you sure about wanting to battle Pikachu" Dawn said looking at Ash who wouldn't break the stare he was giving his former pokemon.
Serena looked at him trying to figure out what was going through Ash's head.
For Anabel it wasn't hard, she could sense what he was really feeling. She could feel the hate and the anger within his heart.
Ash could sense the strong desire coming from Max and Pikachu, the same desire he once shared with the yellow mouse. This made him angrier because he easily turned his back on him but would not do this to Max.
"You should leave my field so the next match can being" Ash told the younger teen.
This irritated Max, he hated that Ash was right this was his field, this was his region he is the champion.
"I'm coming for your throne Ash!" He said to the champion looking down at him.
Ash simply gave him a smile "I look forward to your demise".
"That little punk has a lot of nerve saying he can take you down" Korrina said looking at the boy leaving the field.
He put his hand on her shoulder "it's okay Korrina". This made her a bit annoyed, Ash was always so nice and even now to the traitors he doesn't allow them to absolutely destroy them.
"Hey Dawn do you think Ash is really okay?" Serena whispered to her best friend/ romantic rival.
"I really can't tell since yesterday he's been acting nicer" she said as both girls looked at Ash.
"What is going through your head Ash" Paul thought to himself staring at his champion.
He always knew Ash would meet the traitors someday and he always figured that Ash would be the first to try and annihilate them.
Ash could sense everyones emotions and he didn't want to worry them. He really wasn't fine, he wanted more than anything to get his revenge but he was the champion he couldn't show any anger.
"Please everyone don't worry about me" He said looking at the people he now calls family and friends.
"Kind of hard to do when you're hiding the emotions you're feeling when ever you see those bastards" Dawn said looking into his brown eyes.
"I'm fine someday I'll be able to express all these emotions at once, on that day stay away from me" he said taking a hold of her right hand into his.
Serena saw this and was jealous that he was holding her hand.
"You guys the 4th match is starting how about paying attention" Bianca said.
"Why bother we all know the who the top four are going to be" Paul said crossing his arms.
"Maybe you'll be surprised" Cilan said
"Doubt that Cilan" Anabel said as she looked at a battle between a two seedots.
The battles went on and each one being boring as Paul said, the first day of the tournament ended with everyone advancing to finals of their group.
"Oh this should be fun" Ash said looking at the final match for group D.
On the monitor was Misty vs Iris, he smirked at the thought of having a battle between a master trainer of water and a master trainer of dragons.
"Yes this should be intersting" he said walking away and heading out the balcony where his friends waited for him.
• I really enjoyed writing the battle scene for this chapter. Also I can't wait to right the battle between Ash and who ever ends up battling him. Leave reviews I love the support like I said before it makes me want to update as fast as possible.
