Chapter 25: Don Tournament! End of the First Rounds!

Narrator Voice: Arriving at Nimbasa Town, The gang met has entered the Don tournament. As the half of the first rounds concluded, Georgia, Meta Knight, Kirby, and Ash have went up to round two, what's next is the last four rounds, with Cilan and Trip going up against each other first

"Now the next match is going to be between Cilan and Trip!" Freddy announced. "Don George, what do you think of this match?" He wondered.

"Lets see, Cilan works as one of the Striaton Gym Leaders in Striaton City, so there is no doubt that he's gonna be a strong opponent." Don answered. The crowd started to cheer loudly as they watch Cilan and Trip getting ready.

"Looks like I'll finally get a wonderful taste of how you beat the Striaton Gym." Cilan said.

"Both me an my Pokemon have gotten a lot stronger, so I'll show a better battle than I did back then when I won against Chili in the Striaton Gym." Trip responded.

"Trip against Cilan, I wonder how will the battle turn out?" Ash asked.

"Both of them are strong, but I imagine Cilan having trouble against Trip at first." Kirby added.

"I can't imagine Cilan losing, but Trip has such strong Pokemon too." Iris

"Cilan better lose!" A voice yelled. The group fliched and turned around to see a angry Burgundy behind them. "If not, my revenge will predict a full deluxe course with a knuckle sandwich as the main course! A-Class Connoisseur my foot! BEAT HIM UP!" She whined.

"Begin this match, NOW!" The referee yelled.

"Lets go Dwebble." Cilan called out and threw his Pokeball up in to release a bright light. The light went straight to the ground and Dwebble popped out, ready to battle.

"Lets go, Gurdurr!" Trip summons. Trip threw his Pokeball and a flash came out of the Pokeball. The Pokemon that came out was holding a large metal bar above his before he started to spin it and slammed it horizontally next to him with a confident smile.

{Time to rock this place!} Gurdurr yelled.

Ash looked amazed at the Pokemon and took out his Pokedex.

"Gurdurr?" He asked.

Gurdurr, the Muscular Pokemon and the evolved form of Timburr. Gurdurr trains its muscles by carrying a steel beam. With its amazing strength, even professional wrestlers can't move it.

"Hey, it was the Timburr that Kirby fought back then." Ash said.

"It evolved." Kirby added.

"We'll attack first! Dwebble, X-Scissor!" Cilan ordered. Dwebble raised both his claws to gather purple energy before crossing them and charge towards Gurdurr.

"Dodge it Gurdurr!" Trip yelled. Gurdurr put his hand on top of the metal bar and lifted himself up to avoid the attack. He spun on top of it three time before landing on the ground and snickered at Dwebble.

{Is that all you got little bug?} He asked.

{Little pest you say?} Dwebble asked before his vein popped.

"Slash Dwebble!" Cilan yelled. Dwebble claw turned white and he jumped towards Gurdurr.

"Don't let it get close Gurdurr!" Trip warned. Gurdurr lifted his metal bar quickly and slammed it on to Dwebble, who grabbed it and jumped above him. He landed on the other side and neutralize his claw.

"Gurdurr is taking advantage with his metal bar. Dwebble can't get close to him at all." Freddy commented.

"This is really surprising. It's has excellent defense than expected." Don added.

"Rock Smash Gurdurr!" Trip ordered. Gurdurr lift his metal bar before placing it down next to him and raised his arm. He started to yell really loudly before his hand steamed with heat and turned bright red. Gurdurr formed it into a fist and thrust himself towards Dwebble.

"Hide inside your shell Dwebble!" Cilan yelled. Dwebble went inside his rocky shell while Gurdurr punched it with a strong punch, causing the loud crack on the rock, making Cilan gasp in concern.

"The punch caused Dwebble rock shell to crack a bit." Stephan uttered.

"That good Gurdurr! Keep attacking with that dangerous taste!" Burgundy screamed.

"Rock Smash again Gurdurr!" Trip directed. Gurdurr had turned bright red again and swung his fist towards Dwebble again.

"Back away Dwebble!" Cilan yelled. Dwebble got out of his shell and started to back away fast while Gurdurr hit the ground hard.

"Stone Edge!" Trip added. Gurdurr did a back flip towards his metal bar and grabbed it before creating sharp white energy around around. The white energy turned to sharp rocks and launched them towards Dwebble, getting several direct hits and cause Dwebble to stumble backwards.

"Dwebble!" Cilan yelled in concern.

"Stone Edge hits it's mark! Gurdurr is on a roll!" Freddy announced.

"And it's super effective against Dwebble." Don announced. Dwebble was down until he put his claw on the ground and struggled to get up.

"I got to hand it to you that your Dwebble still has a lot of energy." Trip complimented.

"Thank you, and your progress defiantly show from your Gurdurr. It actually exceeds my expectations. Which now that I think about, it evaluation time!" Cilan magnificently said.

"Not this again." Kirby whispered, looking a bit annoyed.

"What a pain." Iris added, looking bored.

"ITS JUST A WASTE OF TIME! WASTE OF TIME!" Burgundy yelled, causing both Kirby and Iris to flinch at her tantrum.

"Your Gurdurr has such strength to have such a spicy taste, that it entangles beautiful technique and power. It physical strength has such flavor that it give us the confident to battle even more! Me and Dwebble will win this battle! I'll present a glamorous match between Attack and Defense, as well a beautiful dance that will exceed yours!" Cilan said.

Kirby and Iris looked annoyed while Ash had a smile.

"That's it Cilan, show him whose boss!" Ash cheered.

"Gurdurr, DynamicPunch!" Trip ordered. Gurdurr put down his Metal bar and lift his hand up in the air. e formed it into a fist and created a blazing aura around it and launched himself towards Dwebble. Dwebble got ready and dodge to the side. Gurdurr kept the momentum and turned around to throw another punch, but was dodge by jumping behind him. Gurdurr got angry and turned around to swing his arm down to the ground. Dwebble smiled and turned around to jump away from the attack. "Use Rock Smash!" He instructed. Gurdurr lifted his arm from the ground and surrounded it with a bright red aura and charged at him.

"Dwebble, use Protect!" Cilan ordered. Dwebble went inside his shell and a green aura shield was created around him and protected him from the punch. Gurdurr jumped back towards his bar and picked it up.

"Get in close to attack it!" Trip yelled. Gurdurr started to run towards Dwebble with his bar above him.

"Shell Smash!" Cilan commanded. Dwebble jumped swiftly out of his shell, that rolled away from the field, and glowed bright white before red cracks started to surround it and shattered to revealed a red aura around him. "Great, now use Rock Slide!" Cilan instructed next. Dwebble raised it's claws and stayed in the air as it summoned multiple boulders and aimed them at Gurdurr, who looked up and was frighten by the move, and crushed him.

"What?" Trip asked in shock.

"And Rock Slide hits its mark! What an amazing attack!" Freddy yelled.

"It's power actually increase due to Dwebble giving up it's defense with Shell Smash and raising it's attack and speed." Don added.

"There's no way!" Burgundy exclaimed.

"Dwebble learned Rock Slide!" Iris happily cheered.

"You can do it Cilan!" Ash cheered.

"Turn it around!" Kirby added.

Gurdurr moved a rock and popped out between them to glare towards Dwebble.

"Get up Gurdurr!" Trip yelled. Gurdurr tried to get up but was stuck between a couple of rocks. He tried to pull himself out of them, but continue to struggle between them.

"Let finish this Dwebble, use Slash!" Cilan instructed. Dwebble raised it's claw and gather white energy before it enhanced and charged towards Gurdurr, who almost got out and tried to reach for his metal bar but was sliced by Dwebble's Slash. Gurdurr fell on his back and grunted in pain.

"Gurdurr!" Trip screamed. Gurdurr turn his body and tried to get up but was struggling still. "Get up Gurdurr! You can still fight this!" Trip encouraged. Gurdurr pushed himself up but losed his balanced and ended in the ground and had swirled eyes in the end.

"Gurdurr is unable to battle, Dwebble wins! Therefore, the winner is Cilan!" The Referee announced.

"Cilan wins the first round, proceeding to the second round." Freddy announced.

"It was truly an excellent battle." Don announced. Dwebble crawled towards it's shell first and put it on before crawling up to his kneeled trainer.

"You did perfectly Dwebble. You gave us a tasteful battle." Cilan commented.

{Thank Cilan.} Dwebble thanked. They smiled at each other before a flash interrupted them and looked at Trip.

"It's a part of recording my journey, so I won't forget this frustration." Trip said and walked away. Cilan stood back up and found Luke laughing mischievously with a camera pointed at him. Cilan looked at him with question but had a proud face with Dwebble next to him.

"A interview huh? I guess I have time for one." Cilan proudly said.

"HEY YOU!" Someone yelled. Cilan turned his attention to Luke who was wailing around. "GIVE ME BACK MY PRECIOUS CAMERA!" He screamed. and ran up to the copy and grabbed it. The other Luke snickered before transforming into Zorua and laughed again.

"Oh, it's just you Zorua." Cilan said with a smile.

"Dang it Cilan! You will lose in the second round! LOSE! LOSE! LOSE!" Burgundy venomously said.

"Aww! Where did Zorua go?" Bianca asked Ash.

"Where have you been Bianca?" Ash question her.

"You are next." Kirby said, drinking from a clay tea cup with a small calm smile. He looked over to Eva, who was still under a bleacher with her red face. Echo was trying to talk to her, but she just turned away, trying to avoid eye contact. "Yep, gonna take awhile until the next round." Kirby said.

"Sixth Round: Bianca VS Stephan!"

"Minccino is unable to battle, Zebstrika wins! Therefore, the winner is Steve!" The Referee announced.

"Got it wrong again... but whatever." Stephan said and puffed out smoke from his nose.

"Seventh Round: Luke VS Scooter!"

"Darmanitan is unable to battle, Golett wins! Therefore, the winner is Luke!"

"Final Round: Iris VS Jimmy Ray!"

"Watchog is unable to battle, Emolga wins! Therefore, the winner is Iris!"

"With all rounds finish, we have eight participants that will proceed to the second round, AND..." Freddy announced.

"Both the second round and semi-finals will be tomorrow! So you should all take a good rest at the Pokemon Center and prepare for your next battle. All right, dismissed!" Don declared.

Night time

The gang had gotten to eat together and spoke to their rivals before they went back into their room and fall to sleep.

'I wonder where was Meta Knight during all that?' Kirby thought. Kirby interacted with everybody but him during that time, but shook his head and looked at Echo, who was still trying to talk ti Eva.

{Come on Eva.} Echo pleaded. Eva still hasn't talked to Kirby or Echo causing both of them to get worried. Kirby just shook his head and Echo nodded before going asleep next to Kirby's bed. Eva looked back at both of them before she sighed and got next to Echo. She put her head on his shoulder and looked out the window to see a full moon.

[Let's hope for the best.] Eva thought before falling asleep on Echo's shoulder with a small smile.
