ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 55 - The Semi finals
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
The area was foggy as Lillie got off the ground as her sight was dazed.
She saw herself slightly older but covered in both blood and dirt
"H-Hello?" Lillie called out.
There was no Ash, no Hau, no Gladion, no Kukui.
She was all alone…
Or so she thought.
"L-L-Lillie!" A voice she knew too familiar called out.
Lillie turned around to find her mother on the ground in a pool of blood. Lusamine began to cough as blood also spat out.
Tear ran out of Lusamine's eyes as she looked up at her daughter.
"M-Mother?" Lillie cried.
Lusmaine stuck her hand out, giving a waving motion.
"R-Run…. PLEASE! Th-that th-thing… THAT THING IS A MONSTER!" Lusamine cried as she spat out more blood.
Lillie looked around, frantically looking for whatever her mother was talking about.
"What monster!? Mother! Tell me!" Lillie screamed in fear.
"PLE-Please! R-Run, Lillie! RUN!" Lusamine shouted as Lillie looked up at the blank sky.
She started to panic and screamed as everything around her went dark.
Lillie shot up into the air, panting and sweating.
She looked at her hands as that dream felt so real.
Ash woke up from her moving.
"Hey… You okay?" He asked while yawning.
Lillie just nodded.
"Y-yeah. Just a… Uh, bad dream. That's all." Lillie muttered to him.
"About?" Ash asked concerned.
"About something dumb. You need your sleep, you've got to battle today." Lillie told Ash who went back to sleep.
Lillie didn't feel completely comfortable going back so decided to go out on to the deck they had outside and look into the clear night.
She could remember exactly what her mother said.
"Run…" Lillie muttered. "That thing is a monster…"
She didn't understand it meant…
But that's because it was nothing more than a nightmare.
Lillie sighed and decided the best thing to do was to go back to sleep.
(The next day)
Instead of the usual form of sending an email with their next opponent, Kukui had organised a special meeting beforehand.
Ash knew that Gladion and Zach had made it, but the fourth spot and potential opponent was unknown to him.
Lillie and Hau were also not allowed to attend the meeting so Ash decided to leave early for it.
The Kanto born made his way to location told by the professor as someone was already waiting there.
He was slightly younger than Ash. He wore a sky-blue T shirt with baggy jeans, had dark hair with hazel eyes and as shoes had black and white basketball shoes. He was a tall figure as well, looking about 6'1 and seemed athletic.
The guy that was waiting saw Ash and glared at him.
He glared deeply at Ash as he looked almost like the day he disappeared.
"Uh, can I help you?" Ash asked.
"You're Ash Ketchum, aren't you?" The guy asked.
Ash gave a pause to think before he spoke.
"Yeah."
"Name's Ben." The guy known as Ben introduced. "I saw news reports claiming you were participating. Sadly, our matches always clashed."
Ash looked at him.
"I watched you all the way back in the indigo league you know?" Ben told him.
"You… Did?" Ash muttered.
"Yeah. I sort of wanted to be like you. Some young dumb kid that was planning to take on the world. Look where that got you?"
"What's that meant to mean?" Ash growled.
"After you 'died', I vowed to be what you couldn't become! A Pokemon master!" Ben told him. "Prove all those that are wrong!"
"Listen. I didn't get the memo that some monster was going to arrive in pallet town and wreak the place!" Ash snapped but kept Xurkitree as a monster. "Get your fact's right first!"
"I hope I draw you and show what you couldn't be!"
"What's with the yelling?" A familiar voice shouted.
The heated argument between the two stopped as they turned to Gladion.
"You!" Ben shouted.
"Oh? It's you. Uh, Ben correct?" Gladion questioned.
"Morning." Ash muttered to the blonde.
Gladion rolled his eyes.
"You two know each other?" Ash asked Gladion.
"Had a brief battle. That's all." Gladion explained.
Zach showed up not long after.
"Sorry I am late! Slept in slightly."
The four stared down at each other as Kukui finally arrived.
"Welcome my semi-finalists!" Kukui told them all.
They all listened to the professor.
"The two semis' will be later in the morning and then the grand final later tonight!" Kukui explained. "But I am sure you're all eager to know your path."
Ash nodded while both Zach and Ben gave nervous looks. Gladion just crossed his arms.
"Ash VS Zach and Gladion VS Ben will be your pairings."
Ben grunted as he didn't get his chance to battle Ash this time.
Gladion didn't even crack a smile.
Ash and Zach looked at one another as this was there first full on serious battle.
"Remember! The final will be televised worldwide! So, to the two that make it through, make sure you're looking smart! Good luck!" Kukui explained.
The four-split up as Ash was sighing yet again as he avoided Gladion for the last time assuming he beat Zach.
But he was looking forward to battling the Unovan born.
Ash returned back as Lillie and Hau were now awake.
"So?" Hau asked.
"I'm battling Zach." Ash announced. "Gladion is against a guy known as Ben."
"First time you two are having a full-on battle isn't it?" Lillie asked.
Ash just nodded.
"And if I win… Then it will be the final tonight!"
There was a solid 12-hour gap between the two semis' and the final: enough time for all the Pokemon involved to rest.
Ash and co wasted no time as they made there way to the stadium.
Lillie and Hau joined Kukui up in their box with the other trial captains.
Ash was in his room while Zach was in the other.
The pair could hear their names being chanted as the door to there rooms were opened by an official, who was there to signal it was time.
"WELCOME TO SEMI FINAL NUMBER 1, CONTESTED BETWEEN ASH AND ZACH! GIVE IT UP FOR THEM LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"
The pair appeared as the crowd cheered louder than ever before.
Ash and Zach looked at one another, ready to do everything they can to claim victory.
"This semi-final battle will be consisted of using 6 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.
Both Ash and Zach had heard this plenty of times before, but each time sends a shiver up their spines, knowing that it could be there last hearing it.
"Trainers! BEGIN!" The ref announced.
"Lycanroc! Get out there!" Zach shouted as the midnight variant of Lycanroc appeared and snared at Ash.
Ash quickly followed this up.
"Gallade!"
The Sinnoh evolution of the Hoenn line appeared and stood in an aggressive stance.
"Double team then rock throw!" Zach shouted.
Without even making a movement, Lycanroc created a dozen or so copies of himself around Gallade as they all picked up 'rocks' and flung them at Gallade.
"Leaf blade!"
The blades on his arms glowed as he twirled around in one clean motion as the clones were cut in half.
The real Lycanroc appeared and threw a rock at Gallade who blocked it by making a cross with his blades. He sent it right back at Lycanroc who dodged it and landed on the ground.
"Dual chop!" Zach shouted at the wolf like being
"Brick break!" Ash back as the grassy glow turned brown.
The two Pokemon dashed at each other and rebounded off their opposites attack at first as they began to make little jabs and swipes every so often.
"Crunch!" Zach commanded as Lycanroc latched down on the arm of Gallade who yelled in pain.
"Drain punch!"
Gallade slammed his fist into Lycanroc's chest who went into the air and landed in front of Zach.
He got up but soon collapsed to one knee.
Gallade was holding where Lycanroc had latched on to.
"Agility then close combat!" Ash shouted as Zach grunted.
"Lycanroc! Rock throw!"
Gallade zoomed at Lycanroc with the hound throwing a large rock at the male evolution of Ralts, but the rock was shattered into a million pieces as Gallade punched right through it and into Lycanroc's chest with the heavy hitting fighting move.
The midnight form of Lycanroc fell on his back and tried to get up, only to fail in the end.
"Lycanroc can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
The crowd cheered as Zach returned Lycanroc with Ash also withdrawing Gallade due to the close combat drop.
"You did your best." Zach said to Lycanroc's pokeball. He smirked. "This is more like it!"
"Salazzle! Let's go!" Ash announced as Zach threw out a Dragonite.
"Shit…" Ash muttered as the powerful pseudo legendary of the Kanto region flew above Salazzle.
"BEGIN!" the ref shouted.
"Dragonite! Start it off with aqua tail!" Zach yelled.
"Protect!"
Salazzle hissed and created the barrier over herself as Dragonite whipped up the moisture and slammed it on the protect.
"Toxic!"
"Twister to blow it away!" Zach shouted.
Salazzle spewed out the toxins but Dragonite formed a twister and blew it away.
"Flamethrower!" The two trainers shouted at once.
Salazzle fired first as hers was slightly stronger due to the advantage of being a fire type but Dragonite held his own.
"Dragon rush!" Zach yelled.
Dragonite covered himself in a violet aura and dashed at the female Pokemon.
"Use dragon claw to block it!" Ash told the fire poison type who nodded.
Her claws glowed green as she crossed them to shield herself from Dragonite.
But the flying dragon type was too strong as he sent Salazzle flying back.
She got up again but covered in grazes with a sneer on her face as Dragonite flew back in front of Zach.
"Attract!" Ash shouted as Zach raised an eyebrow.
Salazzle placed her hand on her hip and gave a seductive wink at the dragon who fell in love with the reptile like Pokemon.
"Oh no…" Zach muttered.
"Toxic!"
Salazzle spewed the toxins over Dragonite who cried in pain as it took full affect as soon as it touched the skin but was still in love.
"Dragonite! Hyper Beam!" Zach shouted, trying to get his Pokemon to attack but failed as he was in love.
"Dragon claw!"
Salazzle jumped at him to slash with the dragon move but due to the affection of the attract, slammed into her with what looked like a giga impact.
Salazzle crashed into the ground and slowly climbed out of the crater she created.
Before she could do anything else, Dragonite jumped on top of her and began to hug her which was actually just crushing her.
"Get yourself out of there!" Ash called out.
Salazzle fired a flamethrower right in his face as he let go of Ash's crushed Pokemon.
She could barely stand while Dragonite was not doing so hot either.
But speaking of hot, the flamethrower snapped the dragon out of the attract and he was fuming in anger as he fired a clean hyper beam into Salazzle.
The reptile like Pokemon fell on her back with swirly eyes.
"Salazzle can no longer batt-"The ref shouted only to be cut off by a loud thud.
Dragonite had collapsed due to the toxic and was out cold himself.
"Uh, well then. Both Salazzle and Dragonite can no longer battle! Trainers, bring out your next Pokémon!" The ref announced.
"You did great girl." Ash told Salazzle while Zach recalled his pseudo legend.
"Decidueye!"
"Empoleon!"
Ash was a little blown back as he didn't know Zach owned a Empoleon.
The two fully evolved starters of Alola and Sinnoh got ready and waited for the call.
"Begin!" The ref shouted.
"Leaf blade!"
"Metal claw!"
The two birds like being's wings glowed the retrospective colours as they collided with Decidueye feeling it more out of the two but overall, not a lot damage was dealt.
"Drill peck Empoleon!" Zach commanded.
The water steel type's peck glowed white as the emperor Pokemon began to twirl right at Decidueye.
"Leaf storm!"
Decidueye fired an arrow which exploded into a storm of leaves as Empoleon entered it, being slashed at by the storm.
However, the Sinnoh Pokemon drilled through it and crashed into Decidueye, doing a serious amount of damage.
Decidueye was forced back and winced as did Empoleon.
"Ice beam Empoleon!" Zach yelled.
"POL!" Empoleon yelled as he blasted a beam of ice right at Ash's Pokemon.
"Dodge it with shadow sneak then use pluck!"
Decidueye disappeared in a purple aura as the ice beam hit the ground.
He reappeared behind Empoleon and slammed his peck into the back of the emperor Pokemon.
"Spirit shackle!"
"Use aqua jet."
Decidueye plucked an arrow and fired it at Empoleon but the Sinnoh Pokemon swiftly dodged with aqua jet.
"It is really right now a game of who can hit harder…" Lillie muttered to Hau and Kukui as they watched Decidueye fire arrow after arrow at the water steel type who was zooming around in the aqua jet.
"Yeah but Ash currently has the lead so that has to be on Zach's mind." Hau added as Empoleon managed to land a hit by ramming into Decidueye's side with the aqua jet he was currently in.
"I'm sure Ash is aware of that, but he knows what must be done to win." Kukui added into the conversation.
Both the birds were panting from the constant hitting at one another.
"Steel wing Empoleon!" Zach commanded.
"Sucker punch!"
Before Empoleon could react, Decidueye zoomed forward and smacked Empoleon in the face with the dark type move.
Zach saw this as a chance.
"Blizzard!" he yelled as both Ash's and Decidueye's eyes widened.
From point blank range, Empoleon unleashed the powerful ice move right into Decidueye as the field was covered in a frosty mist.
Once faded, Decidueye was found on the ground out cold.
"Decidueye can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Zach decided to leave Empoleon in while Ash return his Pokemon.
"You did great. Bewear, go!"
The bear appeared and waved at the crowd happily. He did however, notice the amount of damage Empoleon was suffering from.
"Begin!"
"Aqua jet!"
"Wait for him to come close!"
Empoleon came close with the aqua jet as Ash waited for the right time to make a call.
"Hammer arm."
As soon as Empoleon got close enough, Bewear slammed his arm into his face as the bird crashed into the ground with a loud thud.
The water steel type was now himself, on the ground with swirly eyes.
"Empoleon can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Zach returned Empoleon and brought his next pokeball.
"Litten! Go!"
The first stage evolution of Incineroar appeared and got into an attacking stance.
Ash knew that the fire type wanted to prove that evolution wasn't everything. Plus, with Bewear having the ability fluffy, this could make things interesting…
"Begin!"
"Flamethrower!"
Litten charged up the flamethrower and fired it at Bewear.
"Stone edge to block it!" Ash shouted.
Bewear slammed his arm in to the ground as a large pillar appeared with the flamethrower hitting it.
Bewear kicked at the rock as it went flying towards Litten.
The cat rolled out of the away just in time as the hot rock crashed into the ground behind him.
"Brick flail!" Ash shouted, telling Bewear to do there combo like move.
Bewear ran at Litten flailing his arms while using brick break at the same time.
"Latch on with fire fang!"
Litten dashed and jumped on to the flailing arms of Bewear, clutching down with the fire fang as Bewear cried in pain.
He managed to shake off Litten but was not only suffering from the pain of taking double damage thanks to fluffy but Litten managed to land a burn on the bear.
Bewear wasn't listening to anything Ash was yelling.
"Shit… The burn is hurting him to much…" Ash muttered.
"Fire swipes!" Zach yelled.
This was a combo between fury swipes and ember as Litten ran at Bewear and slashed at his face with the fury swipes covered in fire.
Despite the size, Bewear fell fast to the small fire type as the crowd were stunned.
"Bewear can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
"Back to being even again…" Hau muttered.
"Come on Ash!" Lillie shouted from the box.
Ash returned Bewear as he sighed but soon smirked.
"INCINEROAR!"
The fire dark type and the evolution of Litten appeared with a roar as he grinned at his previous evolution.
Litten gave a concerned look but regained confidence as he had just taken down Bewear.
"Begin!" The ref shouted as Incineroar was the first to react with a roar.
"Fury swipes!" Zach yelled.
"Incineroar, use throat chop!"
Incineroar's hand glowed purple as he chopped at the incoming Litten who was sent flying.
Litten got up slowly but was somewhat fine.
"Flamethrower!" Zach yelled first and soon to be copied by Ash.
The two flamethrowers collided but despite the full effort that Litten was putting in, Incineroars flamethrower was stronger.
There was an explosion in the middle of field which Incineroar used to his advantage. He jumped out of the smoke and grabbed Litten by the face and threw him up. He jumped as well and punched him right in the face with the small cat crashing into the ground, making a small crater in the middle.
Litten was still conscious but not for long as Incineroar landed on him with his elbow.
"Litten can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
The crowd was disappointed that Litten lost as they were amazed by the strength the small pokemon had after taking down Bewear.
Litten was returned as Incineroar cracked his neck from side to side.
Zach was in sticky situation as both his last Pokemon were weak to fire and Ash knew that.
"Sandslash! GO!"
The Alolan Sandslash appeared which was once the Sandshrew Zach had saved from Lusamine's collection. He looked well and healthy.
Incineroar smirked.
"Begin the battle!"
"Sandslash! Earthquake!"
The Alolan form dug at the field which caused it to shake. Incineroar braced himself for the ground move which caused more damaged than what both Ash and Incineroar hoped for.
"Flamethrower!"
The Heel Pokemon fired the beam of fire right at Sandslash.
"Dodge with double team!" Zach yelled out to the Alolan form.
The Alolan Sandslash spilt into multiple copies of himself as Incineroar had to blast the flamethrower at each one, revealing none were the real Sandslash.
"Brick break!" Zach yelled as the real Sandslash appeared out of nowhere and slammed his claws into the back of Incineroar with the starter falling to his knees.
"What? Incineroar is already struggling? But he has barely even been touched?" Mallow commented in the box.
Lillie knew exactly what the pair were doing.
"Again, with brick break!"
Sandslash rushed at the fire dark type before he could recover.
But Incineroar turned around with a smug grin and slammed a fire punch right under the chin of Sandslash as he had been acting the whole time.
Sandslash landed hard on his back with the icicles on his back wedged into the ground as he couldn't get up.
Incineroar was willing to help him up.
With one clean motion, Incineroar kicked Sandslash with a low sweep as the poor ice steel type was feeling the effects of the super effective moves.
"Sandslash!" Zach called out in concern as Incineroar approached him again.
It was again with a low sweep to be followed with some spitting which was small embers but still doing a ton of damage.
And with that, the troublesome Pokemon had turned this match massively in Ash's favour as Sandslash finally fainted.
"Sandslash can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Zach returned Sandslash and saw Ash was not changing Pokemon as he knew who Zach's last Pokemon was.
"May be looking bad. But we aren't giving up! Lucario go!" Zach shouted as the Aura Pokemon appeared and roared at Incineroar who roared back as he didn't appreciate the tone Lucario was giving him.
"BEGIN!" The ref called for possibly the last time in the match.
"Bone rush Lucario!" Zach yelled, trying to land every effective hit he can to get Incineroar out.
Lucario dashed at Incineroar as a glowing bone appeared with the fighting steel type flinging it at him.
"Flamethrower to destroy it!"
Incineroar blasted the flamethrower at the bone in hopes of getting rid of it but the ground type moves just cut right through the attack and hit Incineroar in the chest.
A small explosion occurred with Incineroar running out of it on all fours.
"Fire punch!"
"Drain punch!"
The two jumped at each other and slammed the punches right into each other's face, doing incredible amounts of damage to one another.
They forced each other back as Incineroar started to pant due to fatigue.
"How long can Incineroar last for is the question…" Hau muttered.
"Aura sphere!"
Lucario formed the ball of energy and unleashed it at the fire dark type.
"Protect!"
Incineroar whipped up a shield of fire as the aura sphere hit it.
"Can't do that every time! Aura Sphere again! Don't stop till I say so!" Zach yelled as Lucario fired Aura sphere after aura sphere as he had a plan to get rid of Incineroar.
The first wave he simply dodged but was taking effect on his energy levels.
"Heat wave!"
Incineroar formed a ball in front of him which soon released a powerful heat wave, destroying all the incoming aura spheres.
"Protect Lucario!"
Lucario formed an aura like shield and like Incineroar before, the heat wave did nothing to him
Both Zach and Lucario saw Incineroar was starting to slow down.
"Lucario! Its time!" Zach yelled as he slammed his Z-ring with a orange like aura filling the fighting steel type.
"All out Pummelling!"
Ash grunted as Lucario fired the fists and punches from the Z-move right at Incineroar.
"BRACE YOURSELF!" Ash screamed at the fire dark type.
He crossed his arms as the final blasted came in and exploded on the field.
Ash had to hold his hat from the explosion as Lucario and Zach both smirked as there was no way Incineroar survived.
Or so they thought…
An eruption of fire spewed out of the explosion as Incineroar's ability blaze had been activated. He used fire fang but what appeared to be made out of molten lava as it consumed Lucario.
The fighting steel type from Sinnoh was fired back and suffering from a deadly burn.
"How the?! Grr, no matter! Bone rush!"
Lucario formed the bone and ran at Incineroar.
"Catch it then use it back!" Ash yelled.
Lucario twirled right at Incineroar who grabbed it despite the pain it caused to his hands.
He first punched Lucario in the face then placed the bone behind his neck and broke it while slamming his knee into his chest.
Lucario stumbled back a bit till he forced to the ground thanks to a fire punch to the chin.
He rolled on the ground while the burn was in place as he tried to get up.
Ash slammed his Z-ring as a red aura filled Incineroar.
"FINISH THIS! Inferno overdrive!"
Incineroar made a cocky waving motion as he built up the fire Z move and unleashed it at Lucario who's eyes widened.
The giant ball of fire consumed him as it exploded.
Once the fire and smoke passed, Lucario was on the ground and suffered the same fate as the other 5 Pokemon on his team.
Incineroar collapsed not too long after this.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle but due to still having 2 more Pokemon left, Ash is the victor and the first finalist in the Alolan league!"
It took a second or two for it to finally kick in that he made it.
Zach sighed and returned Lucario while Ash returned Incineroar.
The platforms they were on lowered as they shook hands in front of the crowd.
"Congratz. You deserve it." Zach told him.
"Thanks. Couldn't have asked for a better battle. Really pushed us at the end there." Ash told Zach as they walked off together.
"Gladion's and Ben's match is going to be interesting. You want to watch it with the rest of us?" Ash offered with Zach nodding.
"Let's get these fellows all healed up." Zach made mentioned first. "You need them ready for tonight."
"ASH!" A familiar female called out.
Lillie jumped on him and hugged him tightly.
Hau and everyone else soon appeared.
"You made the final! Meaning your plan will be going ahead after all." Hau said.
Ash nodded.
They all went to the Pokemon centre, but Ash was dealt with some heavy news.
"Unfortunately, due the burns Bewear suffered in the match, there is a very slim chance he will be fully functional for the final tonight. We are going to try our best to fix him up, but I'd suggest just make some plans in case he can't." Nurse Joy told the devastated trainer.
Ash felt for the bear but there was nothing he could do.
They all made their way back to the stadium to find Gladion had already taken the lead 3 – 0.
The edgy blonde had Weavile out as Ben had a Sylveon out.
Weavile was panting heavily as you could see he had been out for a while now.
"Sylveon! Moonblast!"
"Freeze it with Ice-beam!" Gladion commanded.
But it was too late as the fairy type move hit Weavile who was slowing down due to the previous battles he was in.
"Weavile can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Ben sighed in relief as he got himself somewhat back into the battle.
Gladion returned Weavile and noticed a group of certain people walk into a certain box to watch the battle.
He smirked as it was now time for the true show to begin.
"Silvally!" Gladion yelled as he threw the masterball into the air with his signature Pokemon appearing.
"BEGIN!" The ref announced.
Gladion was quick to insert the poison memory into his memory reader that was attached to his wrist.
Silvally quickly turned into a poison type as Sylveon and Ben looked concerned.
He had heard of this thing from previous battles that floated around.
"Multi attack!"
Silvally's claw glowed an oozing poison like colour as he slashed at the poor fairy eeveelution.
It was a one hit knock out as Ben was left shell shocked.
"Sylveon can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Ash knew exactly what he was going to be going up against.
Ben returned Sylveon and thanked her for the battle.
"Hydreigon! Go!" Ben yelled.
The Brutal Pokemon and the pseudo legendary of the Unovan region appeared with a loud roar but didn't even make Silvally blink.
"Begin!"
"Dragon pulse!" Ben called as all three heads of the dragon dark type unleashed powerful pulses.
The poison memory ejected as Gladion inserted a pink disk into the reader as the dragon pulses hit Silvally but did nothing.
Ben was getting frustrated at his foes Pokemon.
"Dragon claw!" Gladion shouted as Silvally swiped at the brutal Pokemon.
"Dr-dregi…" Hydreigon moaned in pain and soon flew back up.
"Multi attack!"
Just like the fate of Sylveon from the poison multi attack, Hydreigon fell to the powerful signature attack with the fairy memory in to do critical damage despite the battle just starting.
"Hydreigon can no longer battle! Trainers, make any substitutions now!" The ref announced.
Ben didn't know what to do as he returned Hydreigon.
"He is going pretty hard on the poor guy…" Hau commented on how serious Gladion was taking it.
"Because he is showing off…" Ash mentioned.
"What do you mean?" Zach asked as Lillie looked at her brother.
"I think I get what you mean. He might know we are here." Lillie added in.
"Incineroar!" Ben shouted, revealing to own an Incineroar as the heel Pokemon roared at Silvally.
Gladion looked up at the box where everyone was at and nodded with a smirk. Everyone could tell that was to Ash.
Ben wasn't wasting any time.
He slammed the Z-ring he had as the dark aura filled Incineroar.
"Malicious Moonsault!" Ben yelled as the ground below Silvally popped up with it soon shaping into a wrestling ring Incineroar jumped up on to it and glowed a dark aura.
He pushed himself up and twirled as he landed on top of Silvally with an explosion soon after.
The crowd was silent as Gladion just smirked.
Incineroar was thrown out of the explosion as Silvally walked out with mere scratches.
"Hyper beam!" Gladion yelled.
Silvally fired the powerful normal move right at the starter.
"Flamethrower!"
Incineroar tried to hold it back with flamethrower but it was too powerful.
The hyperbeam hit him in the chest as he slid along the ground and slowly got up.
"Silvally, surf!" Gladion shouted as the fairy type unleashed the large wave with it consuming Incineroar. The water flooded the how field and created a pool.
Being part fire and not knowing how to swim didn't help.
He bopped his head up and down out of the wave.
Silvally swam at Incineroar and slashed at him with multi attack as he fell unconscious. Silvally got him on his back and swam up and out of the water.
"Incineroar is unable to battle! Gladion is the victor and will compete in the final of the Alolan league!"
The field drained away as Ben recalled Incineroar with the two humans shaking hands but Gladion didn't stick around for long.
Ash felt for Ben.
But now was not the time to worry about that…
He had to focus on tonight.
Every thing came down to this point.
Ash VS Gladion in the Alolan league final.
And he was pumped for it.
Author's note: Apologies for the late update. Been busy with work (When school finishes, work starts haha)
SO it is time! Ash VS Gladion in the final! What a SURPRISE!
The final and one chapter after that then will be the first USUM chapter.
With the game being out 2 and bit weeks old now, I will be uploading my review at the end the FINAL. That is your warning in advance.
So you can read it and give your thoughts on USUM as well.
I have a lot planned so far for the second half and am really eager to get back into the more adventure part.
Can't forget this though: We hit 1000 followers and are just 100 odd reviews shy of 2000. Wow just wow. Once more, thank you all.
QUESTIONS:
He'll update when he can. Though I am wondering. Is he still doing school at this point in time cause that would explain why there aren't frequent uploads.
I have a holiday job in a Pharmacy working at the counter and help people with basic meds. 8:30AM to 5:30 PM sometimes 6. So as of late, only been able to write at night. Didn't expect it too affect the upload schedule as much as it has but we will work around.
Spectre, u reached 1k followers on AtoS. Congrats, my friend!
Thank you :3
Was Alain one of the traitors?
No.
Dude you ruin my life. I cant do anything else then read this fucking awesome ff!
Haha. Glad I could help... Or ruin? Idk lel.
Speaking of Necrozma, am I'm the only one that cried everytime I heard his ultra form theme song?
Nope. I wouldn't say I cried, but mouth left open due to how god tier it is.
will all of Ash former friends, Professor and Mom find out he's in Alola?
Better look out for the next chapter ;)
Will Ash call for Goodra, Charizard, Primeape and Squirtle for help, or will he stick with the Pokemon he currently has in his squad?
I won't say who cause that will ruin it but he will have new members in the second half.
bet you're glad you'll have a break from battles soon.
I won't lie. I am looking forward to going back to more of the adventure side but the battles are still fun to write, just feels repetitive some times if that makes sense.
Will USUM chapter include Solgaleo?
Yes. Sooner than you think as well.
Will Lusamine appear after her treatment?
Yep.
Will more Ultra Space hi jinx happen?
I can not start wait to writing more on Ultra Space so YEP!
Do you believe guzzlord is a mutated alolan muk
