Pikachu564: Why do people come up with shipping names?
Spark: What do you mean?
Rick: He means, why do people name the shipping when paired with someone, you know, like Pokeshipping and Advanceshipping.
Leafeon: To make it easier to identify :/
Pikachu564: That do you mean, I barely understood the name Pokeshipping and realized it was Misty and Ash.
Leafeon: Do you live under a rock :3
Pikachu564: I'm gonna put you under a rock if you don't shut up!
Leafeon: Aww, I'm so scared :P
Lucky: This is gonna be a long argument sooo... let's start the Chapter.
Chapter 27: Don Tournament! Semi-Finals!
"The 30 minutes are up, so trainers, come take your places!" Don yelled. Ash, Kirby, Meta Knight, and Iris got back to the stands ready with a Pokeball in each in their hands.
"First, it will be Ash VS Meta Knight!" Freddy announced. Both Ash and Meta Knight turned to each other and shake hands.
"Lets give them a battle they will never forget." Ash told him.
"I'll do you something more better Ash, I'll teach you a lesson." Meta Knight said. Ash looked confuse while Meta Knight withdraw his hand back inside his cape and walked towards the field. Ash just glance at Meta Knight for awhile before he shook his head and went to the field as well.
"Are both trainers ready?" The referee asked.
"Yes sir!" Ash confirmed while Meta Knight simply nodded.
"Then let the match begin!" The referee commenced.

Narrator Voice: As the second rounds of the Don Tournament ends. Ash, Iris, Kirby, and Meta Knight moved on to the semi-final rounds. Who will advance to the Finals?
"Palpitoad, I choose you!" Ash yelled out. He tossed his Pokeball and released the Vibration Pokemon, which gave a happy growl to indicate he's ready to battle.
"Time to train Yamask. Battle Stance." Meta Knight uttered and tossed his Pokeball. The Pokeball opened and revealed the Spirit Pokemon floating above the field with it's eyes closed.
"What do you think George? Yamask versus Palpitoad?" Freddy said.
"Hmm, Yamask is pure Ghost-Type while Palpitoad has a advantage with it being Ground/Water-Type, but it all depends on what strategy Meta Knight uses." Don said.
"That's true, so far we seen his Druddigon take down a Pokemon with one move and his Sawk combine Thunder and Ice Punch along with Blaze Kick, which is impossible to teach a Sawk." Freddy informed.
"Makes you wonder what surprises does this Yamask have in store." Don said, watching the Yamask continue meditating calmly above the field.
"I'll start! Palpitoad, use Mud Shot!" Ash ordered. Palpitoad took out it's long tongue and turned it bright brown to tossed out a series of mud balls towards Yamask.
"Protect." Meta Knight said. Yamask open her eyes to create a bright green shield in front of her and block each mud ball. "Shadow Ball." He ordered. Yamask put her arms together to create a large dark orb and blasted it towards Palpitoad.
"Block it with Hydro Pump!" Ash commanded. Palpitoad took a deep breath to release a strong water current that hit the dark energy ball and exploded it. The smoke covered the whole field, blinding the trainers from seeing what going on. "Palpitoad!" Ash yelled. Palpitoad started to look around his surroundings, panicking a bit while a pair of bright red eyes appeared behind him.
"Dark Pulse!" Meta Knight instructed. The bright red eyes got out of the smoke and blasted a series of rings towards the smoke and a loud shriek was heard.
"Palpitoad!" Ash yelled. The smoke cleared and reveal Palpitoad kneeling on the ground while gritting his teeth.
"Don't let it rest and use Will-O-Wisp to trap it." Meta Knight yelled out. Yamask created multiple blue flames around it and threw them around Palpitoad to trap it in a blue ring of fire. Palpitoad looked around it's surrounding and just grunted.
"It seems like Palpitoad is in trouble." Freddy said.
"Meta Knight strategy is a mystery, but it shows how much he knows about his Pokemon, along with limiting his opponents choices." Don added.
"Come on Ash, you can beat him!" Kirby yelled.
"Show him your strength Meta Knight!" Stephan screamed.
"Why are you cheering for Meta Knight Stephany?" Iris asked.
"He's the only one who pronounced my name right." He answered.
"But Ash is in real trouble, if he doesn't find a way out of this mess, he may lose." Cilan explained.
'I gotta figure out a way out of this!' Ash thought. He watched Palpitoad just look around the blue flame rings.
"Ash." Meta Knight called out. Ash looked up and saw Meta Knight with Dark Orange eyes. "If your panicking, your Pokemon panics. If you don't know what to do, your Pokemon doesn't know what to do." Meta Knight informed. Ash looked over to Palpitoad who was looking everywhere with freak out eyes and was starting to lose patience. "Take a deep breath, and think." He said. Ash just looked at Palpitoad for awhile before he took a deep breath and thought of awhile. Meta Knight waited patiently for 30 second before his eyes turned yellow and looked up. "Night Shade." He said. Yamask nodded and turned her eyes bright purple to create sonic red waves towards Palpitoad. Palpitoad looked up in panic then looked over to Ash, who still had his eyes closed.
"What is Ash doing!?" Iris yelled.
"He isn't paying attention to the battle." Stephan added.
"Is it over for Ash?" Luke asked.
"No." Kirby replied. Everybody looked over to him and saw a Kirby with a blank stare. "He about to act." He said. Everybody looked over to Ash and saw him smiling.
"Palpitoad, Supersonic!" Ash ordered. Palpitoad nodded and looked up to take a deep breath and release a strong sound wave from his mouth, intercepting against Night Shade and overpowering it and landing on Yamask to confuse her. "Now use Hydro Pump on the ground to launch yourself in the air and to get out of that ring of fire." he instructed next. Palpitoad took a deep breath and blasted a strong current of water on the ground to blast him off in the air while putting the fire out. "Now, Mud Shot!" he yelled. Palpitoad took out his long tongue to throw multiple mud balls towards the confuse Spirit Pokemon and exploded on impact. Yamask fell to the ground, but got back up with bit of struggle.
"Impressive, but not good enough, Shadow Ball!" Meta Knight said. Yamask focused to created a large dark ball that had dark electric current to blast it towards Palpitoad.
"Hydro Pump it back!" Ash ordered. Palpitoad took a deep breath and bladed below him to hit the Shadow Ball and sent it back with it to create a Shadow Vortex of water and striked Yamask with a strong blow and explosion. The smoke cleared to reveal the spirit Pokemon fainted on the ground.
"Yamask in unable to battle, Palpitoad wins, the winner moving to the finals is Ash!" The referee announced. Ash smiled at the victory then ran towards Palpitoad.
"We did it Palpitoad!" Ash cheered.
{We did Ash!} Palpitoad replied with a smile. Ash had his smile but disappeared when he looked over to Meta Knight, who was petting Yamask and feeding her a berry.
"It was my fault Yamask, but you deserve good rest." Meta Knight told her. Yamask just looked at him with tears in her eyes while Meta Knight return her back inside his Pokeball.
"Meta Knight." Ash call him out. Meta Knight looked over to Ash and saw the seriousness in his eyes. "Why did you throw your chance to win?" he questioned. Meta Knight just started at him before he turned around and started to walk.
"Because you remind me of someone who panic under any situation he was in." Meta Knight responded before he walked away from the field and walked out a door. Ash just stared at him before he looked over to Kirby, who was glaring at the mask trainer.
"Kirby, you're next." Cilan said. Kirby looked at him at the corner of his eye before he simply nodded and ran towards the field with his hat on. Iris just sighed and walked to the field next and stood on the other side while Ash came back to the stands.
"So Iris is up against Kirby?" Ash asked.
"Yep. Wait where's Meta Knight?" Stephan responded.
"He left." Georgia answered. Stephan grabbed his hair and started to panic.
"I can't let him get away!" he screamed out before scrambling to get his stuff together.
"Where are you going?" Ash interrogated.
"I need to catch up to him before he's out of my reach!" Stephan replied. He grabbed his bag and started to run out the door. "Give my regards to Kirby and Iris!" he yelled out and was out of sight. Both Ash and Cilan looked at each other before they shrugged and looked towards the field.
"Trainers ready?" The referee questioned. Iris nodded with a smile and a Pokeball in her hand while Kirby just took a deep breath while taking out a Pokeball from his hat and smiled. "Then begin!"
"Emolga, go!" Iris summoned. She tossed the Pokeball to release the flying squirrel from inside her Pokeball to the battleground.
"Kindle, get ready to battle!" Kirby requested and tossed his Pokeball to release the fire mouse from her Pokeball to the field.
"Kirby's got a Cyndaquil on his hand, how will it handle Emolga George?" Freddy asked.
"Emolga is Flying/Electric-Type while Pokemon and Cyndaquil is a Fire-Type Pokemon. Emolga might have mobility but Kirby Pokemon have been shown a variety of sheer destructive Power and strong protective Defense. Makes you wonder what category does Cyndaquil fit in." Don commented.
"So Kirby is using all of the hatching he got." Cilan said.
"They all made their debut in a Tournament." Ash added.
"Kirby has all three Johto Starters Pokemon! This is perfect for my documentary!" Luke told them. Echo an Eva were on the stand and turned to each other.
{Do you think Kirby has a chance?} Echo asked. Eva thought about it for a second before she sighed and shrugged her shoulders.
{I don't know, but we have to believe in him.} Eva answered. Echo's ears dropped at the thought of him losing and sighed.
{You got this Kirby!} Echo yelled out.
"I'll start it, Emolga, use Attract!" Iris commanded. Emolga smiled adorably and winked towards Kindle.
'She doesn't know that Kindle a girl... I could use this to my advantage!' Kirby thought. "Use Flame Wheel to burn the hearts and strike Emolga!" Kirby ordered. Kindle took a second for the hearts to get close before surrounding herself in flames and rammed herself against the hearts and struck Emolga in the chest.
"Emolga are you okay?" Iris asked. Emolga gave a nodded before she went up in flames and gave a small squeak. Kindle wheeled back to her place and stopped to have a smile on her face until she was surrounded in electricity.
"What?" Kirby questioned.
"What are the chances that both Emolga and Cyndaquil have a status condition from each other!" Freddy said.
"Emolga attack may be reduce, but Cyndaquil mobility has been reduce due to the paralyzes." Don reported.
"Kindle, we can pull through this, so let's think of a new strategy." Kirby told her. Kindle nodded and thought for a second then pulled her head up.
{Range attack.} She said. Kirby nodded and smiled.
"Smokescreen!" Kirby ordered. Kindle opened her mouth to release a large puff of black smoke around Emolga.
"Emolga, stay calm and use Discharge!" Iris yelled. Emolga nodded and started to spark up her cheeks to release a strong electric current from the smoke.
"Duck and use Flamethrower!" Kirby commanded. Kindle ducked the large bolt of thunder coming her way then use Flamethrower inside the smoke and caused a massive explosion.
"Emolga!" Iris screamed. Emolga was on the ground breath slightly heavily then her body became engulfed in flames again then extinguish.
"Get in close and use Flame Wheel!" Kirby demanded. Kindle was about to ran towards Emolga until her whole entire body was surrounded by electricity.
"Emolga, use Attract!" Iris ordered. Emolga blew a kissed towards Kindle and surrounded her in hearts to be absorbed inside her body. Cyndaquil recovered from the being paralyze and tilted her head to the side. "It didn't work?" Iris asked.
"Kindle a girl, Iris, and she can do this! Kindle, use Lava Plume!" Kirby ordered. Kindle let out a loud screech and enhanced her flame on her back. Then release a big burst of fire from her mouth towards Emolga and multiple fires separated from the big one and landed on the field to cover it in smoke and fire. The flames started to surround Emolga and one large ball of flame landed on her, letting out a loud shriek.
"Emolga!" Iris yelled out. The smoke and fire cleared and revealed the squirrel Pokemon fainted with swirl eyes.
"Emolga is unable to battle, Cyndaquil wins! This mean Kirby advances to the Finals!" The referee announced.
"We did it Kindle!" Kirby cheered. Kindle was about to run towards Kirby but static kept her still. "Hang on Kindle." Kirby said and grabbed her. He grabbed her Pokeball and pointed it at her. "We'll celebrate later Kindle, for now, return." Kirby said and returned her to her Pokeball. He placed the Pokeball in his hat then looked over to Iris, who had a Pokeball in her hand and was whispering something with a small smile. Kirby just sighed before he felt someone petting his head and looked up. He saw Ash looking down at him with a smile.
"Nice job Kirby." Ash said.
"Thanks Ash." Kirby replied.
"Congratulation Kirby on winning." Iris told him.
"Indeed, both I do wonder who will I be cheering for." Cilan uttered.
{Nice work Kirby.} Echo cheered.
{You made it to the finals.} Eva added.
Don ran to the center of the field and held both his hands up.
"The Finals will be help here again. The two last participants will take a rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle! That will be all!" Don announced.
At the Pokemon Center at night in the cafeteria room...
"Aww man, and I was so close to getting into the finals." Iris said.
"Sorry Iris, but look at the bright side, Axew learned Outrage." Kirby complained.
"You're right, he did excellent in his battle. So lets continue getting stronger together, Axew." Iris motivated.
{Of course.} Axew responded.
"Man, I'm so hungry." Ash cried.
"Don't worry Ash, it's dinner time after all." Cilan said carrying a plate of food to the table. He lifted the cover to reveal four rows of crispy meat, carrots, and broccoli to the side. Three plates with five dinner rolls, and water cup.
"Wow, it looks so good." Ash complimented.
"This is amazing." Iris uttered.
"And it's breath taking." Kirby added.
"It's to celebrate Cyndaquil, Totodile, Chikorita, and Axew's first victories and to wish both Ash and Kirby good luck in the finals. So I ask Nurse Joy if I can borrow the Kitchen and cook these up for you guys." Cilan explained.
"Thanks Cilan." Kirby gratefully said.
"I got to hand it to you Cilan, it's amazing." Ash praised.
"You're welcome, and Kirby, your Pokemon, Axew, and Pikachu deserve this food too, so get them out." Cilan said. Kirby nodded and took out three Pokeballs to release Kindle, Soak, and Ivy. Echo, Eva, Pikachu, and Axew started to eat their food. Cilan sat down on his chair until Burgundy walked up to him and smiled.
"Oh hey Burgundy, care to join us?" Cilan requested.
"No thanks, I already ate a delicious dinner, but never mind that. I came here to propose a challenge." Burgundy requested.
"What?" Cilan asked.
"We'll have a Pokemon Connoisseur Battle for tomorrow's final match." Burgundy proposed.
"A Connoisseur Battle?" Cilan questioned.
"Yep! Show me the skill a Rank-A Connoisseur has when certified by the Connoisseur Association." Burgundy explained.
"Actually Burgundy, I want to take my time, tasting their battle fresh battle with a calm taste." Cilan argued.
"You're just saying that because your scared to face me." Burgundy mocked.
"You can't be serious... I don't fall for such..hm?" Cilan was about to claim something when he sees Luke next to the entrance with his camera pointing at him, Golett carrying a boom mic, and Zorua causally smiling next to them. Cilan continue to stare before he smirked. "When a camera pointing at me, as a movie Connoisseur, I have no other choice." He whispered. He stood up and gave a confident smirk. "Very well, I accept your challenge!" Cilan accepted in a deep voice.
"S-Somehow, your personality change a bit..." Burgundy said. Suddenly, Stephan came back with a large grin and put both his hand on their shoulder.
"And I'll be the referee." Stephan declared.
"Stephun, why are you here?" Ash asked.
"I thought you went to train with Meta Knight?" Iris questioned.
"I did, but I couldn't find him anywhere after he left the place. Hopefully I can find him and ask him at some point." Stephan answered.
"Well, whatever, things are heating up with a challenge in hand, but I'm getting excited." Ash said.
"Don't get too excited, cause I'm winning!" Kirby declared.
