Well I'm back after...a long time, lol. I didn't feel like writing for any of my stories considering how tough things have been getting here. Also my life is shaping up into something I wasn't expecting at all. But I can only adapt myself and keep going.
I can't believe it's been two years since I last updated. I remember those days. A nineteen year-old barely starting his studies in a brand new world. Now two years later and yet despite the few occasions I could have worked on my stories I didn't. Yet I found no guilt on that. I guess writing and publishing stories no longer bring me the same fun as they used to.
The Indigo League still lingers on. And obviously Ash will win it. I mean, do you doubt the outcome of this very short story so far? Seriously, I should have ended it a chapter ago with Ash white-washing everyone like he is about to do here. Luckily for you, I brought both 4th and 5th chapter meaning this story has officially ended in the last chapter. The 5th will be published later on in a few hours or whenever I feel like it.
And that's pretty much it. At least by my hand. Any Author that wants to continue it can talk to me and then proceed in whatever way they want. If you want to include the Orange League, the GS Ball, the movies of Johto and even include other new arcs you want to invent then be my guest. Just make sure to let me know you want to take over the story. I really want to read what others can write following what I wrote.
Also, just like in "Unexpected Twist", Baton Pass is the same substitution move but doesn't switch over stat changes.
And for my fans of the aforementioned story, it's not very easy to write a sequel, you know? Although I gave Clair her English name back. Something about calling her Debora no longer sounded appealing to me. Also I will go through a check-over and fix a few things a lot of you have been really nagging me on (I get that the Fairy advantage over Ghost was really unnecessary. But who don't like Lemon scenes will just have to get used to it.)
Now let's read how Ash wins!
Chapter 4: Closing the Gap
Ash stood against Gary in the first quarters of finals match. The black-haired trainer surveyed his arrogant opponent in detail. The also-from-Pallet trainer hadn't changed one bit in these last few weeks so he certainly was going to underestimate Ash and all of his Pokemon. But the mind-reading teen was going to prove Gary how wrong he was by doing that.
Up in the stances, the Elite Four and Champion of the Kanto region surveyed the mysterious trainer from Pallet. More specifically, Ash Ketchum. So far he had proven to be far above the usual rookie trainer, who started every year. Many of those starting trainers didn't even reach the League or at least weren't so confident once participating.
Ash was nothing like that. His stance showed he was ready for victory alone and nothing else would match his expectations. The Elites knew they had to be on the lookout for him. This kid could pretty much be their new boss in just a few years if any of them didn't consider him a serious opponent.
The referee walked towards his booth while Gary's cheerleaders did their usual dances on the stances with pompoms. Yet they were the only ones cheering for Gary. The rest of the viewers were all going for Ash with their own massive signs to boost his moral. Even the group of cheerleaders was having second thoughts about who they should really cheer for.
"This is a six-on-six quarter of finals battle between Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Gary Oak from Pallet Town. No substitution is allowed except for Pokemon moves. Now trainers, send out your first Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Go, Arcanine!" Gary called out his fully-evolved Fire Pokemon. The Legendary Pokemon was an orange-furred canine Pokemon standing almost six feet tall in height with black stripes.
"You are up, Muk!" Ash sent out his Poison-type Pokemon. The Mud Pokemon appeared in his sliminess ready to fight.
"Arcanine vs Muk, begin!" The referee said.
"Use Fire Blast!" Gary started the battle wanting to win without question. The fully-evolved fire dog barf the iconic star-shaped flame attack heading for the Poison Pokemon.
Yet Ash still looked unfazed by any of this. He wasn't going to mind-read Gary to win this battle. He didn't need to.
"Water Gun!" Ash countered. Muk also fired his powerful torrent of water from inside his mouth. The water hit the fire and the attacks cancelled each other creating a cloud of thick hot steam. The cloud didn't seem to be rapidly dissipating.
"Arcanine, Extreme Speed!" Gary ordered going for an easy win taking advantage of the lingering steam. The Legendary Pokemon sprinted faster than the eye could see, a white Stella behind its path. This was really a bad call, when the other Pokemon couldn't see where it was running towards by the fog.
But again Gary had underestimated Ash's true power.
"Intercept with Poison Jab!" Ash countered. Muk stubby fists started glowing in a threatening purple color thicker than his skin. The super fast canine hit the Slime Pokemon head on with a tackle but did no real damage at all. In fact, Arcanine's body shuddered and a purple wave spread over suffering from new poisoning after landing straight into the glowing limbs of the enemy. Ash smiled. Muk's ability Poison Point always helped in making physical moves even more dangerous.
"Now Venoshock!" Ash ordered seeing how Arcanine was poisoned now. The Sludge Pokemon unleashed a sicklish green blast of gastro acid from his very insides, causing even more venomous damage on the Legendary Pokemon. The poison inside the body increased its effect and put Arcanine down for the count in just mere instants before the opponent could order something out.
"Arcanine is unable to battle. Muk wins. Trainer, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said. The chants rained down over the place.
"You caught me by surprise, Ashy," Gary stated just thinking it was rookie's luck preparing another Pokeball to fight "Now Scizor!" The red-coloured evolution of Scyther appeared with a metallic armour and two pincers instead of blades.
"Muk, Baton Pass!" Ash ordered and his Pokemon returned to his Pokeball. Despite Ash's training, he still knew that Poison against a Steel/Bug Pokemon was of no use here "Gengar, you are up!" The fully-evolved Ghost of Kanto appeared grinning with mischievous ideas already in his mind.
"Scizor vs Gengar, begin!" The referee said.
"Use Metal Cla..." Gary started his order. But his rival moved faster.
"Sucker Punch!" Ash countered. Gengar swiftly disappeared from sight and hit Scizor right in the back of his head doing some moderate damage.
"Hey don't interrupt me!" Gary blurted out in anger. He hated when people didn't let him brag about his awesomeness.
"Okay then," Ash replied with a grin of victory plastered across his face. "Gengar, Substitute!" The Ghost/Poison Pokemon disappeared behind a dummy, which would receive the damage for him. The brown-haired trainer grinded his teeth completely exasperated.
"Use Swift!" Gary ordered right away. Scizor opened its pincers letting loose a volley of golden stars. The shower of stars barely went through the fake dummy not doing anything at all. Ash wanted to face palm. A Normal move against a Ghost type? Really? How could the grandson of an expert like Samuel Oak be so naive?
"Double Team!" The psychic trainer ordered. The hovering ghost created a dozen of copies confusing Gary and Scizor even more "And now Thunderbolt!" The real Ghost reappeared and fired the blue volts doing some damage to the Pincer Pokemon. The Bug fell to his knees paralysed after taking a lot of punishment without being able to retaliate.
"Finish him with Shadow Ball!" The Psychic trainer ended the match. Gengar again appeared in the arena and fired the glowing dark purple orb, smacking Scizor straight on its face. The Steel and Bug Pokemon never got up again.
"Scizor is unable to battle. Gengar wins. Trainer, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Nidoking, finish this!" Gary called out the fully-evolved purple Poison/Ground Pokemon. Ash was reminded of his own male Drill Pokemon. Which he wasn't going to use as he wanted all of his teammates to get stronger.
"Gengar, use Baton Pass," The psychic trainer ordered arms folded over his chest. The Ghost Pokemon returned to his Pokeball in a second. It allowed Ash to call out his next combatant "Go, Tauros!" The Normal Bull Pokemon appeared ready to stomp the enemy under its powerful hooves.
"Nidoking vs Tauros, begin!" The referee said.
"Nidoking, Earth Power!" The brown-haired trainer ordered needing a win. The Ground/Poison Pokemon punched the arena, sending tremors towards the Normal-type Pokemon. But Ash had other plans.
"Stop him with Ice Beam!" The raven-haired trainer countered. Tauros hastily charged the three-arc chilling beam on his mouth and let it loose in the blink of an eye. Nidoking cried out in pain by one of his main weaknesses.
"Oh crap!" Gary coursed. Being Ground type meant Nidoking was extremely weak to Ice moves. The Drill Pokemon was now incased inside an ice prison unable to move at all.
"Now Giga Impact!" Ash ordered with glee. His Bull Pokemon charged at high speed with an orange aura enshrouding its body. Tauros closed the gap in seconds, an explosion connecting the two fighting animals. Tauros stood tall and panting while Nidoking laid unconscious.
"Nidoking is unable to battle. Tauros win. With three of Gary's Pokemon knocked out, the field shall change!" The referee said. The two trainers from the same town recalled their Pokemon respectively as the arena changed from grass to rock. The audience kept acclaiming for their obvious winner.
"Go Magmar!" Gary sent out another one of his Fire Pokemon. The Lava Pokemon stood ready to fight.
"You are up, Ivysaur!" Ash called out his next fighter. The second form of Bulbasaur appeared looking more than prepared. Many wondered what the hell Ash was up to. Such an odd choice.
"Magmar vs Ivysaur, begin!" The referee said.
"This should be easy," Gary stated without noticing the trap he was been lured into. "Magmar, use Sunny Day!" Magmar spew a glowing sphere into the bright sky. The sunlight amplified and so did the power of any future Fire moves.
"Thanks Gare-bear," Ash said using the infamous nickname Gary' sister always used to pick on him. This angered his rival from his hometown making him not realise the mistake of helping Ash's Pokemon "Growth!" The evolved starter growled out, his body enshrouded in a green aura. The power-up move amplified Ivysaur's attack and special attacks by two stages each thanks to the new sunlight.
"Stop him with Flamethrower!" Gary ordered in the futile attempt of taking Ash down for once. His Magma Pokemon barfed the stream of orange flames at high speed.
"Dodge and Grass Whistle!" Ash countered. Ivysaur followed through with the order, hastily jumping away while it whistled a soft music heading towards the opponent. The musical tune hit Magmar putting it to snore right away.
"Finish it with Solar Beam!" Ash ordered knowing there wasn't much to do here. The light amassed on the Pokemon's flower and thanks to the new sunlight charging instantly. And by the previous Growth, Ivysaur had amplified his special attack. The Grass move bursted right away, the mighty beam connecting like a mini-bomb with Magmar. The Fire-type didn't stand up again.
"Magmar is unable to battle. Ivysaur wins. Trainer, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Go, Golem!" The grandson of Professor Oak called out his Rock-Ground Pokemon.
"Ivysaur, Baton Pass!" Ash called out again, He was thankful that Mew had been able to teach that substitution move to all of his Pokemon. "Your turn, Pikachu!" The Electric starter nodded jumping into the arena.
Everyone looked in shock. First a Grass against Fire and now Electric against a Rock/Ground. Ash was nothing conventional. Although effective he very much was.
"Golem vs Pikachu, begin!" The referee said.
"Golem, finish that rat with Magnitude!" The trainer ordered. The Rock Pokemon jumped and slammed the ground hard. The shock waves headed towards Pikachu.
"Magnet Rise!" Ash commanded with a smirk. Pikachu's body shone yellow as he started floating in the arena. Now Ground attacks would have no effect on him. Which meant he now had no weaknesses.
"What the Hell?!" The grandson of Professor Oak bellowed. What was that move?
"Now Focus Punch!" Ash ordered. He would thank Mew later for teaching his friends all different kinds of moves. Pikachu shot through the air and slammed his blue-glowing punches into his round-shaped enemy. The Rock/Ground Pokemon hit the wall completely unconscious by the unexpected Fighting move.
"Golem is unable to battle. Pikachu wins. Trainer, send out your last Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Blastoise, let's go!" Gary called out his fully-evolved starter. The giant blue turtle appeared with its two cannons over his shoulders.
"Pikachu, Volt Switch!" The starter fired a small tendril of electricity, doing minimal damage. But Pikachu was able to return towards his trainer without breaking the rules of the League "Charmeleon, your turn!" The second-form against the fully-evolved form of the Kanto starters looked at each other down.
"Blastoise vs Charmeleon, begin!" The referee said.
"Blastoise, use Surf!" Gary ordered. His starter was the strongest Pokemon he had, so this tiny lizard wasn't going to be much of an issue to take care off. The Turtle Pokemon slammed one of his foot on the rocks, a literal water wave coming down.
"Fire Spin on yourself!" Ash called out another unorthodox move. The Fire Lizard Pokemon barfed the flames on himself, surrounding him. As soon as the liquid hit the starter, it instantly turned into steam. The fire had actually protected Charmeleon from a bigger damage that water alone could have caused.
"Use Hydro Pump!" Gary ordered again another powerful move to end the battle quickly. Charmeleon didn't move away. Ash knew what his starter wanted to do. The Fire Lizard crossed his arms x-formation, the high-pressured water hitting him and slowly pushing him backwards.
"Stay strong, Charmeleon!" Ash said to his Fire Pokemon, who didn't need any encouragement. Charmeleon stood strong until he roared out with magnitude. The sudden white light in the arena stopped Blastoise from keeping his special attack on. The evolving light changed Charmeleon's frame, making it taller and protruding new limbs from its back. The fully-evolved Charizard now stood on the arena smirking a fanged smile.
"Great job, Charizard. Now why don't we test some of your new moves?" Ash stated completely elated by his victory. It hadn't been that great because there was no real challenge but at least he would finally pay Gary back for so much mockery over the years.
"Use Seismic Toss!" The mind-reading teenager ordered after checking some of his Pokemon's new moves. Charizard flew at the Water-type enemy hastily grabbing him from behind before Gary or even Blastoise could do something against it. The new Fire/Flying Pokemon ascended into the blue sky with speed it besmirched its new size. After reaching the proper altitude and after doing some powerful twists at high speed, the fully-evolved Fire starter sent out the Water Pokemon towards the arena smacking the shit out of him with a sonic-breaking impact.
"Blastoise is unable to battle. Charizard wins. With all of Gary's Pokemon knocked out, I declare Ash Ketchum the winner of the match!" The referee said. The cheers didn't make themselves wait, raining like a downpour.
Gary shook his head utterly flabbergasted.
"You actually defeated me. I think I'm hallucinating but here I am." Gary stated still shocked to the core. All of his Pokemon had been knocked out with little effort. And by the same kid he used to pick on back on their school days.
"I'm not the same Ash you could taunt around like a fool, Gary," The psychic trainer stated his eyes briefly glowing red. It was a trick Sabrina taught while they had been going out. "The sooner you accept it the better you will live." Ash recalled Charizard and walked away from the arena without a second glance back. The cheers followed him all the way out.
The next day came incredibly quickly and Ash found himself again staring down at another rival. To contrast against Gary, this opponent was far more visually appealing, a tall raven-haired lady apparently in her early twenties. She dressed in black leather outfit, her skin a bit white but increasing her deadly allure.
"This is a semi final battle between Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Selene Gallio from New Bark Town in Johto. No substitution is allowed except for Pokemon moves. Once the six Pokemon have been knocked out from either trainer, I shall declare the winner. Now send out your first Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Meganium, let's go!" The lady called out her fully-evolved Grass starter. The final form of the Grass starter Chikorita stood on four powerful legs with a long neck and a sauropodian body. There were pink petals around the base of its neck.
"Wartortle, I choose you!" Ash called out his second form Water starter. The evolution of Squirtle appeared, wearing his famous black shades. It definitely enhanced his baddassery to some degree.
"Meganium vs Wartortle begin!" The referee said starting the match.
"Meganium, use Magical Leaf!" The lady called out her move, her starter fluttering her neck in circles. The powerful herbal attack headed towards Ash's Pokemon in seconds.
"Withdraw!" The teenager countered, hoping that the lady followed with a move he could use against her. Wartortle disappeared inside his carapace, the leaves leaving cuts over its surface.
"Now Vine Whips and send him high!" The trainer from Johto commanded, taking her opportunity. Meganium followed with two long vines shooting towards the encased Water type.
"Rapid Spin to tangle the whips!" When the whips lifted Wartortle, the former started spinning at fifty revolutions per second. A few seconds later Wartortle escaped his shell and saw Meganium struggling to untie the knot that its whips had become. And it left the trainer completely open for an attack. "And Ice Beam!" The Water-type Pokemon let loose the three chilling arcs of ice, hitting its opponent straight on its left flank. Meganium could only cry out in white-hot pain before falling to her side completely unconscious by the super effective move.
"Meganium is unable to battle. Wartortle wins. Trainer, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said.
Selene clutched her teeth. That had been a clever move from her competitor.
"Go Ursaring!" The Hibernation Pokemon stood on two legs roaring out loud. It resembled a bear with brown fur over its body and sharp claws in his hands.
"Wartortle, Baton Pass!" Ash ordered the switching move that had come to be his mark in the League "I choose you, Primeape!" The also rageful Pokemon glared at its opponent, measuring each other up.
"Ursaring vs Primeape, begin!" The referee said.
"Ursaring, use Bulk Up!" Selene started, umpping her Pokemon's stats of attack and defence.
"Use Rage!" Ash fought back knowing exactly how to. Primeape's body also shone red charging forward and slamming shoulder first into the rival's torso. Yet Ursaring grin a fanged smile barely scratched. Selene did as well. She thought that she finally had the chance to take the advantage.
Yet the vixen from Johto didn't know she was playing straight into Ash's game. He knew exactly the best way to counter any power up from the opponent.
"Focus Blast!" She ordered. Her Bear Pokemon cupped its paws creating a swirling sphere in seconds and launching it.
"Take it!" Ash ordered with a tone that brimmed in confidence. The powerful move hit Primeape, who barely voiced a grunt of discomfort. Using the uniqueness of the move Rage, which allowed the user to increase its attack after taking damage, allowed Ash's Fighting type to now gain an extra leverage. "Now Agility and Low Sweep!" Primeape shot forward with haste, his rather stubby leg moving in a blurring sweeping motion the Bear Pokemon couldn't follow. The powerful Fighting type move hit straight into the right side of Ursaring's right kneecap, almost making a shattering noise of dislocation.
The Pokemon from Johto howled in pain now kneeling with his rather useless leg. Selene wanted to rip her long hair in desperation. With her Pokemon's speed hindered, Ursaring's power ups were for nothing as he was completely open for attacks.
"Ursaring, use Hammer Arm!" The vixen trainer from Johto ordered again expecting to at least the short gap could be closed before Primeape could react. Her Pokemon's right arm shone white trying to smack its opponent despite its leg injury.
"Intercept with Circle Throw and send him flying!" Primeape casually stopped the incoming enemy by grabbing Ursaring from its waist and supplexing him. Ursaring briefly saw how he was been lifted before a glowing kick, courtesy of the Fighting-type Pokemon stroke him in the guts hastily hurling Ursaring into the skies above.
"Don't give up Ursaring. Use Psybeam!" Selene hastily countered, despite the many effective moves her Normal-type Pokemon had taken in short tandem. The Bear Pokemon barfed the rainbow-esque blast from above. Its type would definitely hurt Primeape a lot.
"Counter with Dark Pulse!" Ash fought back. Primeape's hands shot upward, letting loose a stream of dark energy-made chains. The Dark energy overpowered the incoming Psychic attack and hit the Bear head on making it growl out in pain. The Bear Pokemon landed on the arena with a thud and swirl for eyes.
"Ursaring is unable to battle. Primeape wins. Trainer, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Ash, you are incredible!" The lady stated. This match was just too intense for her. But she had never quitted before and she wasn't starting now. "Now, go Noctowl!" The brown-feathered bird Pokemon of Johto flapped its way into the arena.
"Primeape, Baton Pass!" Ash ordered proud of his Fighting Pokemon. He had to admit, Anthony had already shaped it up quite nicely. "I choose you, Pidgeot!" The fully-evolved Flying Pokemon from Kanto appeared. The two Flying Pokemon hovered ready for an aerial battle.
"Noctowl vs Pidgeot, begin!" The referee said.
"Noctowl, use Confusion!" Selen ordered hoping to catch this trainer off-guard. Her Pokemon sent the blue waves from its eyes.
"Agility to dodge!" Ash countered, barely surprised by the unexpected move. But he knew to not be surprised by such sudden events. Otherwise, he could lose.
"Use Quick Attack to catch him and Sky Attack!" The lady trainer commanded, no longer minding her rival' strategy. Her Owl Pokemon accelerated with its body encumbered by a glistening white aura.
Ash decided to not dodge this time. Despite his Pokemon's swift movements this time he was going to get his message straight through.
"Pidgeot, Brave Bird!" The psychic trainer commanded, earning gasps out of everyone. Pidgeot did an instantaneous u-turn mid flight its body exploding in white fire. The two most powerful Flying-type moves collided head on, a dome of energy bursting momentarily. Until a thud was heard in the arena. And to no one's surprise it was Noctowl. Yet Pidgeot didn't seem to have escaped unscathed with burning marks running over its former unblemished feathers. And the fact its body was shuddering meant the recoil had only worsen the wounds.
"Noctowl is unable to battle. Pidgeot wins. With three of Selene's Pokemon knocked out, the field shall change!" The referee said.
"Weaville, you are next!" Selene called out her next Pokemon. It stood four feet tall with a unique feather on its head.
"I keep Pidgeot," Ash said now smiling in confidence. Selene couldn't believe it. A Flying Pokemon against an Ice type?
She shook her head. To be fair, this trainer was sometimes very weird when it came to battles. And maybe that's what had allowed him to win without so many problems.
"Weaville vs Pidgeot, begin!" The referee said.
"Weaville, use Ice Beam!" The trainer from Johto ordered. Her Pokemon barfed the three-arc attack straight into the injured bird.
"Steel Wing!" Ash countered, again earning shocked expressions everywhere. Pidgeot accelerated straight into the freezing beams again taking them head on without an ounce of fear. Despite the damage it had previously taken, the bird of Kanto knew to not let down his trainer. Despite its long glowing wings freezing, Pidgeot kept its momentum undaunted by the fear of effective move. If anything, the Bird Pokemon kept on even more gleeful after seen fear in Weaville's eyes. The powerful collision between the two moves happened again. This time, there was no movement coming from the epicenter.
Once the dust cleared out, two unconscious bodies could be seen.
"Weaville and Pidgeot are unable to battle. This round is a tie. Trainers, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Okay Typhlosion, you are up!" The lady called out her fully-evolved Fire Starter from Johto. The Fire type stood on its hinder legs, fire appearing on its shoulders.
"Charizard, I choose you!" The fully-evolved Fire starter of Kanto appeared, showing his fangs to the rival.
"Typhlosion vs Charizard, begin!" The referee said.
"Typhlosion, use Flame Charge!" Selene voiced her command once more. Her Pokemon answered by charging with incredible speed and his body lit in red fire.
"Charizard, use Dragon Dance and stand your ground!" Ash ordered his counter. The Dragon Pokemon roared umpping its speed and attack, his feet planting firmly into the soil. The starter of Johto collided with the one of Kanto, in a very good definition of the unstoppable force against the unmovable object. The two Fire-type Pokemon broke off after a few seconds of equal ground.
"Use Fire Punch!" The two trainers ordered simultaneously. The two ablaze fists connected, a shockwave separating the two Fire starters a few seconds after the contact. Non received Burn status.
"Use Smoke Screen!" Selene ordered now. Her Volcano Pokemon barfed the thick fog of smoke. That would definitely help her last for a while.
"Use Gust!" Ash countered her move. His Dragon-like Pokemon flapped his wings and cleaned the whole place up from the smog. Which led to Charizard been face to face with a charged-up Fire move.
"Inferno!" Selene ordered, Typhlosion unleashing the searing hot stream of super dense fire. Charizard growled in pain as his whole body was encumbered by the unending wave of fire.
Ash, however, remained stoic face and unchallenged by the move.
"Fight through with your Flare Blitz!" Ash used the same page as his Pidgeot had. To literally blaze through it. Roaring with might, the Dragon-esque Pokemon shot forward, this time its own blue fire intensified by the surrounding flames. Typhlosion widen its eyes in shock before the collision had happened. The heat wave from the impact hit the two trainers alike almost singing their clothes.
Charizard was panting after taking damage from the fire plus his own recoil. Yet he remained the only Pokemon standing in the churned arena. Typhlosion was burnt to a crisp and with swirls for eyes.
"Typhlosion is unable to battle. Charizard wins. Trainer send out your last Pokemon!" The referee said.
Selene grinded her teeth in sheer frustration. This trainer was right and simply straightforward. And yet it was very effective. He and his Pokemon had all the power to back them up.
"Milotic, go!" Selene threw her last Pokemon of the battle. The beautiful Snake Pokemon from Hoenn arrived.
"Charizard, Baton Pass!" Ash ordered again to no one' surprise. "Now Dragonair!" The two serpentine Pokemon glared at each other down ready for the showdown.
"Milotic vs Dragonair, begin!" The referee said.
"Milotic, use Attract!" The Johto trainer ordered, hoping for a breather. Her elegant Water-type winker her eyes, sending a shower of hearts.
"Use Safeguard!" Ash countered. His own serpentine Pokemon covered itself in a blue dome of energy, making the incoming hearts bounce harmlessly away.
"Use Hyper Beam!" Selene commanded again not going to go down without at least taking one of her rivals' Pokemon. Her Majestic Pokemon charged up the devastating attack almost instantly. The orange-colored beam landed on Dragonair, creating a cloud of dust. The white light disappeared, leaving the fully-evolved Dragon-type Dragonite in the battlefield.
"Okay Dragonite, let's test out your new powers," Ash said with a mischievous smirk that sent chills down Selene's back, and not in the good way. "Use Extreme Speed with Thunder Punch!" In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Pokemon had accelerated right into its opponent almost like teleporting. Its right punch cracking with yellow volts, slammed straight into Milotic's left cheek, a majestic cry of agony coming out of its throat before landing with a thud.
"Milotic is unable to battle. Dragonite wins. With all of Selene's Pokemon knocked out, I declare Ash Ketchum the winner of the match!" The referee said. Ash smiled, taking his Pseudo-legendary back into its Pokeball and walking back to the lockers.
The Elite and Champion definitely couldn't believe this. A trainer with such powerful Pokemon really existed. Who the hell was he?
Notes from Chapter 4:
As always Ash won without any kind of trouble. And that's awesome for me.
Yes, Selene is from Marvel Comics. Although less 'revealing' in her outfit.
And Ash is only one victory away from his deserved League title. And you should expect him to white-wash the competence like he did here. See you later!
