ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 51 - Round 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
Ash, Lillie and Hau spent the next day matching a few matches that was occurring.
They managed to go watch Zach's match at the end of the day who managed easily to get to the next round.
Kiawe also progress through along with Acerola and Ilima.
Lana unfortunately didn't make it as she only just lost when it came to a one on one.
Olivia cruised her through as well as the only Kahuna to even be participating.
Later that night, everyone received their round 2 matches and Ash proceeded to read his.
"Huh. I'm matched against a girl known as Skylar Ruby." Ash announced.
Hau check his match up.
"Oh, I am tomorrow, early in the morning, god dammit." Hau moaned.
"What's wrong with an early morning match?" Ash questioned.
"The early and morning part." Hau explained.
Ash rolled his eyes and focused on his battle, looking at the picture of his opponent.
Lillie was on one of the laptop the villa gave them and was scrolling through online articles. She had decided to take up an offer from Kukui in being trained to teach at the trainer's school.
She scrolled past one and stopped as she glared at the screen.
"G-guys?" Lillie called out.
"What's up?" Ash responded as Lillie motioned to come over.
Ash and Hau moved over to the computer and Ash instantly saw the front picture and closed his eyes.
It was an article from the Kalos times with the title reading: Ash Ketchum, the teen that saved Kalos, alive?
It displayed a picture of him, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and all their Pokemon.
Ash read that the article was by Alexa. She obviously didn't know what happened.
He sighed and accepted it.
"Whatever. We've just delayed or even stopped an invasion from occurring. What's to say I am afraid of them?" Ash muttered.
Lillie nodded as she continued the article with bits explain reported sightings in Alola, the recent events that occurred and the start of the first ever Pokemon league.
One of the pictures was of Ash when he was 10 with his mother and Professor Oak.
He glared at the screen with all the pain that picture brought. All it was missing was a certain yellow rat.
"Do you want me to close it?" Lillie questioned but Ash motioned his head to signal no.
"No. No more hiding. I have a plan though." Ash announced.
Lillie and Hau looked at one another.
"Involves Kukui, Gladion and that Lucinda girl we met?" Ash explained.
"Who?" Hau muttered to the blonde as Lillie explained their encounter with the young reporter.
Ash got in contact with Kukui while Lillie got in contact with Gladion. Ash also mentioned to send an email to Lucinda and the plan was a go from there.
Kukui, Gladion and Lucinda were all waiting in a room as the trio appeared.
"Oh! It's you two again!" Lucinda blurted out as Hau stood next Gladion.
Lillie set up the laptop on the desk and pulled up the article.
Kukui and Gladion read it first as the blonde looked at Ash with a look that read 'you are a fucking idiot'.
Ash motioned at Lucinda to read it. She saw it was with the Kalos times and got excited as that was who she worked for.
But she soon read the article and saw the pictures as she looked up and down, up and down, over and over again before pulling the dots together.
"Surprise!" Ash said sarcastically when he saw the look of shock and confusion on her face.
"And the meaning of this is what?" Gladion questioned.
"Get the message across. You're the new Aether president correct?" Ash responded.
Gladion just nodded.
"And as the official organiser of the Pokemon league, you can make bans and what not, correct?" Ash asked Kukui.
Kukui thought about it for a second.
"Well, yes technically!" Kukui started.
"Ban them all." Ash blurted as Lillie and Hau looked at each other.
"What?" Gladion questioned.
"Ban them all from entering the region and the league!" Ash told them.
"Ash, I can't just ban people from entering Alola…" Kukui explained.
"I figure you'd say that however, the league?" Ash asked once more.
"Yes, I can ban them from entering." Kukui officially announced.
"You can control all of Aether now, I want you to set guards at every access point in Alola."
"Doable I guess." Gladion stated.
Ash turned to Lucinda who gulped nervously.
"Sorry if this is rushed and all but that information and pictures you got we need. We can't let that leave the region." Ash told Lucinda.
"Can I just get some context on what is GOING ON!?" Lucinda yelled.
Ash sat down and explained the mess that was occurring, leaving out a few details like Nebby.
Lucinda gave the look of that she didn't believe them.
"Look. I can give you an article to write about and we can go from there! Scoop that might lift off your career as a reporter?" Ash suggested.
Lucinda thought about and then brought out a notepad as that we all she had on her as they began the tense
Ash and co finished the interview as they all split their separate ways with Ash heading straight over to his battle.
He was battling at the Bulu stadium which wasn't too far from where they were.
Ash was going to use Bewear, Gallade and Salazzle for this match up.
He walked out on to the field as his opponent, Skylar was already waiting.
Skylar appeared to be around Hau's age. She had short spiky red hair and bright hazel eyes. She was rather tanned and wore a silver shirt with a pink heart in the centre of the shirt, matched with tan coloured shorts. For footwear was just a simple pair of grey sneakers.
Ash got many different vibes staring at his opponent. Vibes of both seriousness and a little bit of immaturity. He shook off the last one as it would be wrong to come to conclusions like that.
"Welcome to this round 2 match up ladies and gentlemen! Please can he give a big round of applause to our two competitors, Ash and Skylar!" The commentator announced.
The crowd cheered as ref took to his regular spot and cleared his throat before facing the microphone.
"This round 2 battle will be consisted of using 3 Pokemon each. When one trainer can no longer use any of their Pokemon, the match will be over. Each trainer is allowed one Z-move and switch is only allowed when play is at a standstill. Trainers! Prepare your first Pokemon!" The ref announced.
Skylar took a deep breath of air as she grabbed her pokeball.
Ash took his and gave a determined look.
"Begin!" The ref finally called.
"Bewear! Let's go!" Ash yelled as the normal fighting type appeared.
"Pyroar, come on out!" Skylar shouted back with normal fire type coming out with a roar.
Ash glared at Pyroar for a bit. Sure, Bewear had the fighting advantage but due to fluffy, any fire moves will be doubled.
"Pyroar! Flamethrower now!" Skylar yelled.
The Kalos Pokemon whipped up the fire and blasted it right at Bewear.
"Bewear! Arm thrust!" Ash commanded as the bear slammed down on the ground to create a rock like shield.
Bewear slammed his arm into the rock as it went flying into Pyroar. However, the fire cat swiftly dodged out of the way.
"Brick break!"
"Fire fang!"
Bewear ran at Pyroar and slammed his arm into Pyroar's neck. But the lion latched on to Bewear's arm with fire.
The Bewear cried in pain as he easily shook off the normal fire type.
"Hyperbeam!" Skylar yelled.
Pyroar charged up the light as he blasted it at Bewear.
"Protect!"
Bewear made the shield as the hyperbeam split off the protect.
"Hammer arm!" Ash shouted as Bewear jumped out of the protect and managed to make a clean contact with Pyroar as the Kalos Pokemon landed on his back.
"Superpower!"
Skylar knew this was most likely going to knock out Pyroar so she had to do something to at least harm the bear.
"Will-o-wisp!" Skylar yelled as the lion spat fire at Bewear.
Bewear felt it but was already crushing Pyroar to the point where he couldn't continue.
"Pyroar is unable to battle! Trainers, if you wish to make a change, do so now!" The ref called as Skylar recalled Pyroar.
Ash knew Bewear wasn't going to be able to continue with the burn that was currently searing at him so Ash decided to swap him out for Salazzle.
The fire poison type appeared and hissed into the air as Skylar brought out her second Pokemon being in the shape and form of Aggron.
Skylar was aware that Salazzle could poison Aggron despite being a steel type.
"Begin!" The ref announced.
"Rock throw!" Skylar shouted.
"Burn them with flamethrower!"
Rocks were thrown into the air but were burnt into crisp thanks to flamethrower.
"Flash cannon!" Skylar yelled as Aggron flashed Salazzle with the blistering light.
Ash's Pokemon covered her eyes thanks to the burning light but was soon hit with a powerful heavy slam.
Salazzle was being bullied on the field but quickly got up again and glared right at Aggron.
"Toxic!" Ash yelled as Salazzle sprayed the poison fluids on to Aggron.
The large steel rock type from Hoenn didn't feel it at first but the pain that it caused soon started to kick in hard and fast.
"Grr! Earthquake!" Skylar shouted with a tad of frustration in her voice.
"Project yourself up with flamethrower than spiral it back down on to Aggron!" Ash announced.
Aggron slammed on the field as the whole stadium shook however, Salazzle pushed herself up with flamethrower and then aimed it right at Aggron.
"Rock throw!"
"Use dragon claw to cut them up!"
Aggron threw the rocks right at Salazzle who sliced them all up with dragon claw. However, on her way down, despite the poison heavily kicking in, Aggron caught her and glared at her aggressively.
"Iron head!" Skylar yelled.
Before Ash could make a call, Aggron had already slammed his head into the female Pokemon as Salazzle struggled to get up.
"Rock slide!" Skylar yelled.
Aggron picked up a rock and threw it in to the air as it exploded as rocks and rocks crushing Salazzle with the fire poison type falling to fatigue.
"Salazzle is unable to battle! Trainer's make your substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Skylar was in the same mind set as Ash and recalled Aggron being out her final Pokemon being in the shape and form of a Samurott.
Ash returned to Salazzle and brought out Gallade who stood on the field with an aggressive fighting stance.
The fully evolved Unovan starter also gave off an aggressive look with the two glaring at each other back and forth.
"Begin!" The ref commanded.
"Water pulse!"
"Protect!"
Samurott whipped up the water pulse with Gallade easily protecting from it.
"Psycho cut Gallade!" Ash yelled as the psychic energy surrounded Gallade's arm blade as he swiped in a cut like motion.
Samurott covered himself in water and used aqua jet to avoid the move.
Once Samurott landed, Skylar gave out her next command.
"Swords dance!"
Samurott roared in the air as a bunch of swords twirled around him, upping his attack up.
"Use psychic to keep distance!" Ash shouted as Gallade used his psychokinetic powers to push Samurott away from him till he got the signal to attack.
Ash carefully waited for the movement or call from his trainer.
"Mega horn!" Skylar yelled.
Ash knew this was the time.
"Close combat!" Ash shouted as Gallade rushed forward and slammed everywhere on Samurott.
Samurott kneeled to the ground as Gallade got filled with an aura from a z-move.
"All out Pummelling!"
Gallade let out a loud roar as he punched and kicked at his opponent who was helplessly waiting his trainer to say something.
"SAMUROTT! DODGE!" Skylar screamed.
But it was too late as Gallade released the punches and kicks at a much fast and higher pace.
The final blow scooped up Samurott and exploded on top of him.
Despite being on the field was such little time, Samurott was the next to fall to Ash's team.
"Samurott is unable to battle! Trainer's make your substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Ash left Gallade in as Skylar brought out her already poisoned and weakened Aggron who groaned intense pain.
"Begin!"
"Aggron, use rock throw!" Skylar shouted in attempt to land a hit but Aggron was not handling the poison plus Gallade was just too fast.
Aggron collapsed to his knee and began to breathe heavily.
"Drain punch!" Ash yelled.
Gallade dashed at Aggron and landed a drain punch right under the Hoenn Pokémon's chin with the poor thing falling over on to his back.
He was still conscious but could do barely anything.
Skylar sighed as she couldn't bear to see her Pokemon in this pain.
"I'd like to withdraw Aggron. I can't see him in anymore pain like this!" Skylar announced.
"Is this your final decision?" The ref asked.
Skylar nodded as she returned Aggron.
"Aggron has been withdrawal from the match meaning, Skylar no longer has any more Pokemon to battle with, declaring Ash the winner and to progress to the next round!" The ref announced as the crowd.
Ash was happy he made it through but was more pleased with what his opponent did and he respected that.
He talked to Skylar after the match and the two eventually parted ways.
Later that night, they were chilling in the villa.
The had however, gotten news that Kiawe and Ilima had all lost their matches. Along with Elena who was ironically paired with Gladion. So with Kiawe and Ilima joining Mallow and Lana as the eliminated trial captains, that just left Mina, Acerola and Sophocles.
Lillie was waiting on one of the laptops as she received the email they were waiting for.
"It's here!" Lillie called out as Ash and Hau ran over with Lillie already in the process of opening.
Lucinda wrote a short little message just saying if anything was off, just responded.
Ash sat down and read through it himself.
"THE TEEN OF THE PALLET TOWN DISASTER: IS HE DEAD OR ALIVE?"
Many months ago, the sad passing of Ash Ketchum, a hero for many, occurred during a sudden attack on the town he had called home his whole life.
Many members of the town, his close friends and loved ones all mourned in his dead with his mother still coming to grips of what occurred that day.
However, there has been reports of Ash sighted in the region of Alola, known for their calm and easy-going culture.
This does not seem like the environment Ash would consider as we are told he was only up for a hard challenge, something many outsiders don't consider Alola to have.
We got an interview with both the region's leading professor, Professor Kukui and the current president of the Aether foundation, Gladion Aether.
Here is what Mr. Kukui had to say:
"Oh yeah, I mean, I had heard about what happened in Kanto and I send my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ash but I see no reason for Ash to come to Alola if he is actually alive."
This was followed up by the Gladion:
"Never knew the guy but I heard he was always up for a good challenge which is a shame because that's what you want in a trainer, a hard working determined person. I do truly send my condolences to Ash's family as I cannot imagine what they are going throw."
We talked to a number of the trial captains and they all confirmed having no knowledge of Ash ever being in Alola.
This story will be developing so be sure to continue to watch it but for now, it appears Ash Ketchum sighting in Alola was nothing at all.
Auhthor's note: Sorry for the very short and lazy chapter, just been unwell this week.
I know I said I had finished this but I royally fucked up in one part that was undo able.
SO yes. USUM leaked fully. Please avoid putting any spoilers in reviews. You can message me because I've already seen half the stuff but for the sake of others.
But I do have a theory about gen 8 but if you want to know, message me.
QUESTIONS:
So only Hau and Ash will face OCs?
No
Will that dragon guy with the anime hair appear? (Ryukio? Something like that right?)
Yes he will, early in the second half.
Would you like a cookie?
Yes please Kappa.
And I was looking through my movie collection and I found an Japanese Pokémon movie with Ethan EXCEPT his name was Jimmy. Fuckin Jimmy. So will he appear?
I forgot they existed at all, so maybe. The whole purpose of the question last time was just to get the point across.
In the second incineroar battle couldnt you have had him use fire spin.
Doesn't learn it and I know if I did put it in, their would be that one little slowflake that reviews, "Incineroar doesn't learn this!" In the future, it should appear.
I really like to know the moveset of the Pokémon
I don't restrict them to just 4 moves, I just base it where we are in the story then go to their official move set.
Alexa didnt necesarily betray Ash right?
She didn't at all but she doesn't know what happened.
so kommoium z is going to be introduced how are you going to add it in the story
I'll find a way.
Now to my questions: Is there going to be by any chance Ash will forgive Dawn since Gladion told him about what happened to her?
Very possible yes. But you'll have to wait and see.
And will Colress return?
I've address this before but after some thinking, we might see the Unovan scientist reappear.
When is Jack North coming back?!
He is still around. I have a reason I haven't featured him heavily in the last few.
What are your thought on the new Charcters from the 20th movie? (I'm talking about Verity, Sorrel and Cross)
I haven't seen the film (I would have liked to though seeming it was in cinema) but I know their is a lot of Sinnoh referencing in it.
What do you think about mimikus new z move
My baby get's even more love.
Not trying to be mean but...chapter 37 seems like iys the pokemon version of georgie meeting pennywise the dancing clown.
(Get's really close to the monitor) You don't say...
Anywho, that's all. Again, sorry for the short chapter. But I have finished Uni now so hopefully we can get back to those frequent uploads.
So as always, Review, Suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
