ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 50 - Round 1
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
(Kalos)
The Lumiose times building was at fast pace, conjuring up the next big stories as paper after paper was printed off.
Alexa was currently talking with a fellow colleague about her latest story.
"So yeah. We believe the mythical Pokemon Volcanion might be lurking somewhere in the southern parts of the region. Matt and Phil are going to check it out on Monday and hopefully find something." Alexa explained to her associate.
Despite finishing talking, a young reporter ran into the room screaming Alexa's name.
"ALEXA! ALEXA! ALE-"The young man screamed.
"What Dave!" she snapped slightly due to the screaming.
"IGotALeadOnPossiblyTheSto-"Dave continued but speaking at rocket fast pace.
"Dave! Slow down and use English!" Alexa told him.
"We have a lead about Ash Ketchum!" Dave announced as the whole room went silent.
"What." Was all Alexa said.
(Alola)
After successfully making it past the seeding round, it was now time for the 1st round of the league.
Everyone knew this is where it now truly mattered.
One simple mistake could lead to your elimination.
Both Ash and Hau were fairly calm about their matches but with the latter knowing more than just his elimination was on the line.
Hau knew that if he lost or she lost, the other would not hear the end of it thanks to their love hate relationship as cousins.
Like during the seeding round, Ash was up against someone he had never met before so it brought some surprise element to the game but of course, his opponent is in the same boat as him.
But it also brought a bit of fun to it as well.
Lillie and Kirlia were in the kitchen making some sort of cake as the psychic fairy Pokemon used her psychic abilities to pass over Lillie the ingredients.
"So, you're at 3PM right? Over at Koko Stadium?" Ash asked Hau with the Melemele native nodding. Ash's game was also at Koko Stadium but at a later time of 4:15PM.
Hau thought back to the last time he fought Mallow and what Eevee had done to her Steenee at the time.
Because of this, Umbreon was his first pick to use.
"You've decided who you're going to use against your cousin?" Lillie called out as she stirred the cake mixture.
Hau sighed.
"So far only Umbreon due to the rough past Eevee had with Mallow's Pokemon." Hau explained "As much as I would like to use Primarina, it's too risky with Mallow being good with grass types so I am possible looking at using Aegislash." Hau explained, having evolved the Doublade he had when he went off on his own for a bit. "Maybe use Crabominable use well, I don't know yet."
Ash had decided he'll roll with Decidueye, Incineroar and Bewear for this one.
They all now just had to wait for the matches to start.
Hours flew by as it was time for Hau's match.
In the passing hours, a little bird made its way to the group of three to notify Gladion had breezed through to the next round which was a confidence boost and a half for Hau and Ash.
Ash and Lillie took their place in the stands with Ash holding on to Turtwig.
Hau and Mallow stood opposite of each other as they both stared at one another.
"WELCOME TO ANOTHER EXCITING GAME IN THE FIRST ROUND! Today! We have two relatives facing one another. Hau, the grandson of the Kahuna of Melemele Island and his cousin, Mallow, one of the trial captains located on Akala Island! Let's give them both a big round of applause!"
"This round 1 match will consist of each trainer using three Pokemon. When one trainer no longer has any battling Pokemon, the match will be over! Z-Moves are allowed to be used but as usual battle rules, each trainer may only use one! Switching out is only allowed when there is a break in the play!" the Ref explained as Hau and Mallow grabbed their first pokeball.
"BEGIN!" The ref shouted as the crowd erupted in a cheer. Despite the loud cheer, it failed to wake up Turtwig who snored on Ash's lap.
"Umbreon, let's go!" Hau called.
"Tsareena! Come on out!" Mallow shouted in return.
The dark type and the grass type appeared and instantly locked eyes on one another, both remembering the last time they faced one another.
Hau knew something about her Tsareena that placed it at a rather foul disadvantage so he was planning to exploit that as soon as possible.
Mallow smirked.
"Don't think you have the advantage because you trained with Ash cuz! Time to settle what side of the family is superior once and for all! Trop kick!" Mallow commanded.
"Use quick attack to dodge then sand attack!" Hau told Umbreon who dashed at a lightning pace as Tsareena lifted her leg up.
Umbreon moved out of the way as the grass type slammed her leg into the ground. She quickly recovered herself and tried to kick the moonlight Pokemon again by spinning around. Umbreon reacted on his own and dropped to the ground to dodge again. He spun around himself and used his back legs to kick sand into Tsareena's face with the grass stumbling backwards without the ability to see properly.
"Wait? I thought Tsareena had the ability queenly majesty?" Lillie asked out loud to Ash. Rotom appeared thanks to the question.
"It is possible for Tsareena to have either leaf guard or sweet veil as an alternate ability. I don't see why you wouldn't have queenly majesty but eh. Her issue not mine!" Rotom explained as the pair returned to watching the match.
Umbreon moved slightly back as well to be in front of Hau again.
"Quick attack and headbutt!"
"BRE!" Umbreon shouted as he dashed again and slammed his head into the stomach of Tsareena with her being sent back and flying on to the ground.
"Toxic!" Hau yelled as he took as he was taking control of the match early on.
Umbreon formed a ball of toxic and flung it on to Tsareena with the grass type feeling the effects instantly.
At this point, she had finally managed to get the sand out of her eyes as she could see her opponent smirking at her.
"Magical leaf then run in!" Mallow yelled as fruit Pokemon whipped up the leaves and aimed right at Umbreon.
"Dodge!" Hau shouted with the dark type doing so but didn't see Mallow smiling.
"Gotcha! Play rough!" she announced.
Tsareena was too close for Hau to make a command to dodge as she slammed Umbreon from every angle possible with the feisty fairy move, doing a lot of damage to the eeveelution.
He slid out of the attack with a wince on his face but at the end of the attack, despite being the attacker, the effects of the toxic were finally taking toll.
Tsareena was in extreme pain had actually collapsed on to her knee.
"Shit!" Mallow cursed as Hau made the command to finish her off.
"Dark pulse!" Hau commanded as Umbreon unleashed the pulse of dark energy, landing a clean hit on Tsareena with the Pokemon falling unconscious.
"Tsareena can no longer battle! Trainers, you may do switches now if you wish!" the ref announced as the crowd reacted to the first defeat of the match.
This roar surprisingly woke up Turtwig who began to cry due to being woken up.
Mallow returned Tsareena and gave her a positive message before pulling out another pokeball.
"You may have the early lead but we aren't done yet!" Mallow explained as she threw out her next Pokemon being a Lurantis.
The bloom sickle Pokemon towered over Umbreon who gave off a low growl.
"BEGIN!" The ref called.
"Sunny day Lurantis!" Mallow shouted as the grass type fired a ball of light into the air as a blistering sun was formed over the field.
"Solar blade!" she yelled as the normal timer consuming move was created instantly.
"Oh no…" Ash muttered.
"Dig! Get out of there!" Hau yelled as Lurantis aimed the powerful grass move at Umbreon.
He dug into time but his time was nicked as you could hear him yelp underground.
Lurantis carefully watched the ground as Umbreon could pop anywhere.
"Double team then swift!"
About 20 odd copies of the dark type shot out of the ground with all firing swift at Lurantis. The fakes did no damage but the real one got a clean hit right on Lurantis's back.
As Umbreon landed, Lurantis glared at him and unleashed a powerful X-scissor on him with the dark type being sent into the air.
Hau grunted as Umbreon landed who was struggling to get up but eventually did.
"Umbreon! Are you okay?" Hau called out in concern for his Pokemon.
"Bre-on!" Umbreon responded but was now on the last of his energy.
"I have an idea! Double team and don't stop!" Hau shouted.
Umbreon multiplied himself with the move with the clones multiplying themselves as the field was just covered in Umbreons.
"Solar blade!"
"Charge!"
As Lurantis prepared for the move, all the Umbreon clones ran it him. When it was time to attack, there was too many Umbreon clones in the way so the move was ultimately cancelled out.
"CRUNCH!" Hau shouted as the real Umbreon latched down on the sickle of Lurantis as the pure grass type attempted to shake him off.
"Leaf blade!" Mallow called out as Lurantis's other sickle glowed.
"Drop then headbutt!" Hau yelled.
Umbreon let go as Lurantis swiped with leaf blade and fell to the ground as Umbreon headbutted his leg.
Umbreon ran back in front of Hau as he could see the frustration on both Mallow's and Lurantis's faces.
Mallow was the first to respond as she slammed her Z-ring with a green aura filling her Pokemon.
Hau responded the best way he could and that was by doing the same except a dark like aura filled Umbreon.
"Bloom doom!" Mallow yelled.
"Black hole eclipse!" Hau yelled back as the two Pokemon started the Z-move.
Lurantis formed a ball of flower petals and released it with them all flying right at Umbreon.
Umbreon created a ball of pure darkness and fired it into the air as the petal's circled around him. A massive green light began to form as Umbreon was consumed inside of it. Once the beam was over, Umbreon was on the ground fainted.
The dark ball he created however, exploded in the air and formed a black hole with everything loose on the field being sucked inside which included Lurantis. Once inside the black hole, it shrunk down and a loud and violent explosion occurred with the motionless body of Tsareena being flung into the ground.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle! Trainers, bring out your next Pokemon!" The ref called as both Hau and mallow returned their Pokemon.
"You did great bud." Hau said to Umbreons pokeball.
Hau sighed.
"Crabominable! Let's go!" Hau shouted as the ice fighting type appeared with an aggressive look.
Mallow raised her eyebrows. She didn't know Hau owned a Crabominable but at the same time, it look super familiar.
"Oranguru come on out!" Mallow shouted as a Pokemon Ash had never seen before appeared.
It was very human like but also Pokemon like as well. The bulk of the body was well covered in white fur par a few places like its hands, feet and face. It stood on two legs while in its hand was a grass fan. Around the Pokemon neck was a cape of fur that clumped down into many streams.
"Oranguru, The sage Pokemon. Hundreds of years ago, people that got lost within the forests of Alola would sometimes mistake Oranguru for a wandering human. The Pokemon is extremely intelligent and can understand English fluently. Unless provoked, Oranguru is a calm and caring Pokemon to those around it."
"Psychic!" Mallow shouted as the normal psychic type eyes glowed blue.
"Punch the ground!" Hau commanded as the crab slammed his fist into the ground to create a rock barrier.
Hau knew that Crabominable was strong but them to see for himself.
"Power-up punch!" Hau yelled as Crabominable punched at each other the rocks he created.
"Use psychic to fling them away!"
Oranguru was using psychic to move all the rocks to the side but Crabominable was punching too fast as the sage Pokemon missed one, hitting him right in the face.
"Blizzard!"
The woolly crab Pokemon blasted the freezing air, doing a fair chunk of damage plus freezing the normal psychic type.
Mallow gave a concerned look.
"Close combat!"
Thanks to the boost from power-up punch, Crabominable slammed his fists into the frozen part where Oranguru was. The first hit shattered the ice while the second went straight into Oranguru's chest.
Despite being out there for mere minutes, Oranguru landed on the ground fainted.
"Oranguru can no longer battle! The winner of this round 1 match is Hau!" the ref announced.
The crowd cheered as Hau went over to Crabominable to celebrate.
Mallow just returned Oranguru and walked out to wait to talk to her cousin.
Ash and Lillie made their way out to find Hau to stumble into Mallow first.
"You did your best Mallow." Ash told her.
"I guess I should have saw it coming, being Hala's grandson plus traveling with you." Mallow muttered. "But what was the chances we would be versing one another?"
The pair shrugged their shoulders as Hau appeared.
"Aye! Congratz on the win!" Ash mentioned to Hau.
"Thanks. Um, thanks for the battle Mallow." Hau mentioned to his cousin as the two shook hands.
"I guess this settles the little family rivalry for now!" Mallow explained with a smirk.
They waited about an hour and a bit for Ash's match as Lillie and Hau took place in the stands.
He was up against a man known as Wave.
Ash's opponent was older than him with him looking in mid-20's. He had brown mid length scruffy hair that was covered by a black fedora. He had blue eyes with a pair of black glasses. He wore long sleeved shirt under a baggy plain blue tee with baggy jeans with a studded belt and a chain. Lastly for shoes, he wore black steel toe capped boots.
"This round 1 match will consist of each trainer using three Pokemon. When one trainer no longer has any battling Pokemon, the match will be over! Z-Moves are allowed to be used but as usual battle rules, each trainer may only use one! Switching out is only allowed when there is a break in the play!" the Ref announced.
Ash locked eyes with his opponent, Wave as they both grabbed their pokeball.
"BEGIN!"
"Incineroar! Go!" Ash shouted as the fire dark type appeared, cracking his knuckles.
"Porygon-Z, let's do this!" Wave shouted as the artificial like Pokemon appeared.
"Lock on!" Wave shouted as Porygon-Z aimed it's focus on Incineroar with perfect precision.
"Cross chop!" Ash yelled as Incineroar ran right at Porygon-Z and slammed it with the fighting move.
The virtual pokemon floated backwards and was feeling the move but was overall fine.
"Zap cannon!" Wave commanded as Porygon-Z fired the powerful electric type move at Incineroar.
Ash knew he couldn't avoid it so he had to do his best to block it.
"Cover yourself in the fire!" Ash yelled.
Incineroar whipped a flamethrower like tornado around himself as used that as a method of at least nerfing the zap cannon.
He still felt the effects of the electric move but like Porygon-Z, was pretty much fine.
"Trap Porygon-Z inside fire!"
Incineroar blasted a beam of fire right at Porygon-Z.
"Dodge it then use tri-attack!" Wave snapped back.
Porygon-Z avoided the attack and flung three different coloured balls of energy right at Incineroar.
"Brace yourself and use flaming crunch!" Ash yelled as Incineroar nodded.
The heel Pokemon shielded himself with his arms as the three balls of energy crashed into him, creating a mini explosion.
However, mere seconds later, Incineroar jumped out using the attack crunch combined with fire fang. He slammed it down on Porygon-Z who went hurtling into the ground and was now suffering from a burn.
"Pounce on it and finish this with flamethrower."
Incineroar got down on all fours to pick up speed as he ran right at the normal type.
As soon as Porygon-Z was about to get up, Incineroar pounced on him, grabbing its head and smashing down into the ground.
"PORYGON-Z!" Wave yelled as he watched Incineroar throw his Pokemon into the air like a ball.
Incineroar unleashed a powerful flamethrower which got a clean hit as Porygon-Z fell to the ground with no more energy left.
The crowd was amazed on how fast Incineroar dealt with Porygon-Z.
"Porygon-Z can no longer battle! Trainers, you may do switches now if you wish!" The ref announced as Wave returned Porygon-Z.
"Incineroar, return." Ash announced as he returned the fire dark type who didn't look too pleased about being taken out from the battle for now.
"Sceptile! Go!"
"Decidueye! I choose you!"
The grass starter of the Hoenn region and the Alola region appeared with them both seeing each other and instantly got into a defensive stance.
The ref gave the signal to start as the two trainers both gave off the same command.
"Leaf blade!" Both Ash and Wave shouted.
Decidueye and Sceptile sprinted at each other with Decidueye's wing glowing green while the blades that grew off Sceptile's arms glowed green as well.
The two collided with one another as first and they eventually gave off individual swipes.
"Spirit shackle! Point blank range!" Ash yelled.
Decidueye stepped back a little and fired an arrow right into Sceptile's chest with the Hoenn starter being forced back slightly.
"X-scissor Sceptile!"
Sceptile's arm blades glowed a murky green colour as he slashed downwards on Decidueye as the bird screeched in pain.
"Again!" Wave yelled.
"Decidueye jump up and then use spirit shackle!" Ash announced.
As Sceptile charged at him with the bug type move, Decidueye ran at him and jumped as Sceptile slashed. He did a sort of a run up on Sceptile to rotate into a backflip and finally doing the ghost type move again at point blank range.
"Wing attack!"
Decidueye slashed at the grass type with his wings, landing a lot of damage as Sceptile grunted in pain.
Wave glared at Decidueye as this was not going to plan for him.
"Dual chop!"
Sceptile's claws glowed with dragon like energy as Decidueye stood waiting for the command.
"U-turn!" Ash yelled as Decidueye glowed in a bug like colour as he dashed at Sceptile. Before the gecko like pokemon could attack, he felt the burning pain of the U-turn as Decidueye swapped out of battle with Ash bring in Bewear.
"Fake out Bewear!" Ash yelled.
Bewear slapped Sceptile before he could make a move. Sceptile was on the ground dazed as Bewear retreated back.
Ash saw this as a good time to finish this.
Ash hit his Z-ring with the bear being filled with a fighting like aura surrounded.
"All out Pummelling!" Ash yelled as Bewear unleashed the onslaught of fists and kicks.
Sceptile failed to move in time and was pelted by the z-move with Bewear unleashing the final punch. The Hoenn starter collapsed to the ground as Bewear celebrated on the field, happy with the work he did.
"Sceptile can no longer battle! Trainers, you may do switches now if you wish!" The ref announced as the crowd cheered.
"Woah. He might get the clean sweep." Hau stated to Lillie who nodded.
Wave returned Sceptile and spoke a few words before bringing out his final pokemon in the shape and form of a Ribombee.
Ash decided to keep Bewear in despite Ribombee being a fairy type.
"Pollen puff!" Wave shouted.
The bee fly formed a ball of pollen and threw it right at Bewear. When it made contact with Bewear, a violent explosion of pollen occurred with the bear being forced back by a lot.
"Dazzling gleam!"
Ribombee fired off the fairy move which got a direct hit as Bewear hadn't recovered yet from the pollen puff.
Ash was starting to regret his choice to leave Bewear in but he had to at least get some damage off.
"Bewear use flail!" Ash commanded.
Bewear flung his arms everywhere and managed to land a hit or two on Ribombee who being such a small Pokemon, was smacked quite far away.
Wave revealed his Z-ring as he wasn't going down without a fight.
He pressed it as a pink like aura surrounded Ribombee.
"Twinkle tackle!" Wave shouted as a sparkly pink like background surrounded Bewear and Ribombee who was sparkling.
Ribombee zoomed at Bewear, circling around him.
The bee fly landed in front of the strong arm Pokemon and gave Bewear a kiss on the head as the pink like background wrapped itself around Bewear. The normal fighting type was shot out and slid along the ground unconscious.
"Bewear is unable to battle! Trainer, bring out your next Pokemon!" The ref announced.
"Damn. That is one strong Ribombee." Hau muttered.
"It doesn't matter, he still has both Incineroar and Decidueye." Lillie told Hau as Ash brought into battle the former being Incineroar.
He let out a loud roar as grinned at the sight of Ribombee.
Despite being dark, being part fire at least evened out the fairy advantage.
"Ribombee, use pollen puff again!" Wave shouted.
"Fire fang!"
Ribombee launched its signature move right at the fire starter but Incineroar jumped into the air and released a powerful fire fang, destroying the bug move instantly before it could explode.
Incineroar landed in front of Ribombee and pinned the bug fairy to the ground.
"Ribombee! Dazzling gleam!"
"Roll out of the way!" Ash commanded.
As Ribombee got a chance to use the move, Incineroar rolled out of the way as the move missed. Before Ribombee could escape, Incineroar grabbed the small Pokemon and locked it in his arms, preventing Ribombee from using his arm or legs.
"Cover yourself in fire!" Ash yelled.
Incineroar growled at Ribombee with an evil grin as he fired a flamethrower on to the ground as the pair caught on fire with Ribombee's loud scream echoing in the field.
Incineroar stepped out of the flames with Ribombee barely conscious. He placed his hand around Ribombee's neck and slammed the him in to the ground as hard as he could.
The result was Ribombee with swirly eyes as Incineroar stood over his opponent gloating by slamming his chest and waving his arms in the air.
"Ribombee is unable to battle! The winner of this round 1 matchup is Ash!" The ref announced.
Ash returned his cocky fire starter and went over to shake hands with Wave.
"Thanks for the match man." Ash said as the pair shook hands.
"Wish you all the best for the second round." Wave said as the two-split apart.
Lillie and Hau found Ash and congratulated him as they returned to the villa to relax for the rest of the night.
Their matches were on day one so they had tomorrow off. The plan was to watch Zach's match as he was battling tomorrow but for now, the plan was just to chill and regenerate.
Gladion waited out in the forest with Silvally next to him on the ground resting.
He check his phone again to find he was late by 30 minutes.
The blonde groaned in annoyance.
"Val?" Silvally said confused.
Gladion sat down and patted his trusty partner.
"Don't worry about it. Just waiting! That's all…" Gladion explained to the confused chimera like pokemon.
They both heard a twig snap and instantly turned to the direction of the noise only to find Nanu finally arriving.
"You're late." Gladion said unimpressed.
"Sorry. I had some noise follow me…" Nanu grumped, referring to his niece. "I assumed you read the file?"
"A world without light? How is that even possible?" Gladion questioned.
Nanu shrugged his shoulders.
"Everything need light to survive! Tree's, plants, Pokemon, people!" Gladion argued.
"I don't know kid. All I can tell you is that it is real and they are real! They aren't human, I can tell you that." Nanu explained as he rubbed his temples.
Gladion shook his head.
"Does Ash know about this?" Gladion asked again.
"I was going to get to that." Nanu muttered.
Gladion looked at him confused.
"He can't know. Well, not at least for now. If he finds out, he'll have some seriously dangerous people after him." Nanu told Gladion.
"And fighting my mother who was in an alternate dimension and was fused with an Ultra Beasts isn't dangerous?"
"Stop with the comebacks and just trust me."
Gladion had one final question for now.
"Why was my father associated with these people?" Gladion asked as he stood up.
"What?"
"WHY! Was my father associated with these people?!" Gladion yelled as Silvally growled.
Nanu sighed.
"I don't know." Nanu snapped back with the Kahuna of the island storming off.
Gladion sighed as he and Silvally walked off in another direction.
Author's note: And the round 1 is done and dusted. I'm finished the next one as well so hopefully see that soon.
I just wanted to clear up that I have gone back and made that the round of 16 will be done with 3 mons instead of 6 just for reasons.
Plus I know a lot sent in mons with nicknames, reason I am not going to use them is it just gets to confusing. For me to write and the reader to follow.
So Ash and Hau both win and Gladion has another meeting with Nanu.
Not much else to say other than USUM is now just a week and bit away.
QUESTIONS
Will whoever wins the tournament (have a feeling on who it will be), will that person also have to face E4 members like in the games or will the E4 be chosen by the champion?
I've stated in previous chapter that the Champion will pick the first Elite four for Alola.
Thank you for using my oc.
No worries. Thanks for submitting.
I believe that Lusamine won't be a antagonist in pokemon ultra
If you know about the wishlist leak, you'll have your answer.
Are you going to give Ash any Bug, Ground, Rock, Ice, Electric, and Steel type Pokemons because he doesn't own any of this types yet?
Not in this half but in the USUM half, yes. What type? Not saying.
To lazy to creat an acc...is that a problem?
No. I have no problem with guest users. I said that because of a guest that questioned "Why was I born". Bring the point up if s/he had an account, would they have said that? Think about it.
Wouldn't people recognize Ash? Especially people from Kalos and Sinnoh? Ash's big battles were there so...
Well, Sinnoh in here I guess was a few years back now while their was a little plug to Ash's name in the last one. Still, I get what you are saying.
Will Team Rainbow Rocket appear? How would Ash feel about the enemies that he has beaten from when he was 10 return?
Who has to say they are the same enemies ;)
Will any game verse heros/heroines appear?
Difficult due to the fact Ash is Red, Gary is blue and so on. Ones that haven't appeared (Gold/Ethan, Silver etc) maybe.
is gladion going to like dawn or mallow
I mean, Gladion could just player but yeah lmao.
Will Ash get the Z-crystals that he doesn't have yet?
Yes. Ones like Alolan Raichu's no because he has no need but yes, he will.
How do you feel about the massive amount of readers? Does it have any effect on you?
It is a big motivation to know all these people has at least looked once or twice or every day at this story. I remember when I uploaded chapter one, I kind of regretted the idea seeming Sun and Moon was only out for like 10 tens at the time and with betrayal stories being so common, I didn't know. but when I woke up the next day, all these people reviews, followed and Favorited the story and here we are today.
But Ash's Salazzle mother is a Totem Pokemon right?!
Yes. But that doesn't automatically make Ash's Salazzle a totem.
Outstanding my man keep it up do me a favor and have a beer for me
Can't wait for it :P
When will you post a traitors chapter?
Eventually.
I love this story better than the other ash betrayed stories but I want it to be updated every day
I can update fast but not that fast haha.
other trainers going to use mega evolutions in the league battles?
Maybe... In the second half, Yes. This league, I don't know yet. Depends.
So that is all for today but I will say this...
Their is a massive hint for the second half story located in here.
Find it and good luck ;)
So as always review, suggest or PM me! Spectre out!
