Chapter 60: The Champion of Dragons

I had my rest. Now it was time for my biggest challenge.

I walked through the doors and saw him. Lance.

"You know, ever since you took down Team Rocket in Mahogany Town, I knew you would be something big. I knew that we would battle. You have fought your way up to be here."

He swishes his cape. "LET COMMENCE THE FINAL BATTLE OF YOUR JOHTO JOURNEY!"

It was time. My Pokémon were all healed and I was going to take on Lance.

His first Pokémon was Gyarados and I used Ampharos. Ampharos Light Screen. This should block out some moves. It did, as Gyarados's Surf was nullified by the Light Screen. Ampharos used ThunderPunch which knocked out Gyarados in one.

Lance used a Dragonite next. I sent out Venomoth. Dragonite used Hyper Beam. This almost knocked out Venomoth. Venomoth used Sludge Bomb, poisoning Dragonite. Dragonite needed to recharge, so I used this time to have Venomoth used Psybeam. Dragonite was confused, but it still managed to get in a Twister which finished off Venomoth.

Next I used Togetic. Togetic used Metronome. It became Slam. That almost finished off Dragonite. Dragonite knew what was going on however. It used Thunder. Togetic managed to survive thanks to the Light Screen, which wore off that turn. Togetic used Double Edge and finished off Dragonite.

Lance's next Pokémon was Aerodactyl.

Aerodactyl

224

Rock/Flying Type

Fossil Pokémon

5'11" (1.8 m)

130.1 lbs (59 kg)

This vicious Pokémon is said to have flown in ancient skies while shrieking high-pitched cries.

Revived from an Old Amber.

I sent out Ampharos again. Aerodactyl used AncientPower. Ampharos was hit, but Aerodactyl started raising its stats. "That is one of the effects of AncientPower. Very rarely, using it raises all of Aerodactyl's stats." I wouldn't let that stop me. Ampharos used another ThunderPunch. Aerodactyl was hit. Aerdactyl came back with Hyper Beam. Ampharos barely survived. Ampharos used ThunderPunch again which almost finished Aerodactyl but secured its victory with one more whilst Aerodactyl was recharging.

Lance sent out another Dragonite. Dragonite used Blizzard on Ampharos, fainting it.

I used Togetic. Dragonite also took it down with Blizzard.

Next was Graveler. Graveler used Rollout which hit Dragonite for a fair bit. Dragonite used another Blizzard, almost knocking out Graveler. Graveler finished it off with one more Rollout.

Lance next used a Pokemon I knew more than well.

Charizard

231

Fire/Flying Type

Flame Pokémon

5'07" (1.7 m)

199.5 lbs (90.5 kg)

Breathing intense, hot flames, it can melt almost anything. Its breath inflicts terrible pain on enemies.

Evolved from Charmeleon at Lv 36 which in turn evolves from Charmander at Lv 16.

"So, you think you can defeat the strongest Pokémon of Red?" Lance asked. I was taken aback. Could I do it? Yes I could. Charizard used Flamethrower, but it missed, allowing Graveler to Rollout it to defeat.

"Oh, okay." Lance said. He held a Pokeball in his hand. His final Pokémon.

Dragonite.

His Dragonite used Fire Blast. Graveler was finished.

I needed to beat him. I sent out Suicune. Suicune used Icy Wind. Whilst this did do some damage, his Dragonite was really strong. Dragonite used Outrage. It's eyes started glowing red and it started thrashing at Suicune. I felt, scared. Suicune used Icy Wind again. Dragonite's health was depleting. Dragonite used Outrage again. To my horror, it took down Suicune.

"This is the true might of the Champion" Lance said. "I have the power to defeat a Legendary Pokémon in two blows.

It was time for partner vs partner. I sent out Typhlosion. Our bond had grown exponentially. We had trained so much, it had come to this.

Typhlosion used Flame Wheel. It wasn't very effective, but it burned Dragonite. Dragonite used Outrage again, doing a lot to Typhlosion. Afterwards, Dragonite was confused. This was the big chance. Typhlosion used Swift. The next turn, Dragonite hurt itself in the confusion and from the burn.

Typhlosion gave it one final Flame Wheel.

Dragonite fell to the ground.

I HAD BECOME THE NEW CHAMPION OF THE INDIGO PLATEAU!

Lance smiled. "Congratulations" he said. "You have proven yourself worthy of taken the biggest honour a Trainer can receive; an entry into the Hall Of Fame, signifying your status as Champion. Follow me."

Lance took me into a large room. "This is the Hall Of Fame. Put your Pokeballs into the machine and they will be recorded here for all eternity. You deserved this for not only beating the Champion, but for also taking down Team Rocket."

I went over to the machine and put my Pokeballs in it.

Welcome to the Hall Of Fame!

Togetic Lv 46 No 176

Venomoth Lv 49 No 049
