The Match between Brock and Dianthia against the team of Cynthia and Flannery was going to begin shortly. Cynthia and Flannery had to choose which Pokémon they were going to use against Brock and Dianthia. Brock and Dianthia already picked their Pokémon thinking that Cynthia and Flannery would choose their usual Pokémon. As the crowd filled the stadium, Dawn approached Brock and Dianthia. Brock looked at Dawn and asked, "Well, any signs of Misty?" Dawn shook her head and said, "No, we haven't found her yet, it's like she just disappeared." Brock then crossed his arms and said, "This doesn't make any sense, it's not like Misty to leave and not tell us where she went." Dawn and Dianthia nodded their heads and Dianthia said, "You don't think she was kidnapped?" Brock shook his head and said, "Impossible, our scouts would have told us if they saw Misty being transported." Just then, Paul and Trip walked up to the three and Paul said, "Hello traitors." Brock, Dawn, and Dianthia looked at Paul and Trip with disgust and Brock said, "What do you to want?" Trip then said, "Relax you, idiot, we just wanted to wish you two good luck in this battle, because it's going to be your last battle." Dianthia then said, "Sorry, but as Champion of the Kalos Region, I don't know the meaning of losing." Paul chuckled and said, "Figures a pathetic Champion like you would say something like that." Dianthia crossed her arms and said, "How dare you say such nonsense." Then Trip said, "Coming from one of the Champions that believed Tracy when he said that Ash Ketchum killed Professor Oak." Dawn then walked over to Trip and slapped him, Dawn then said, "Because that is exactly what happened, you two are idiots to believe that Ash DIDN'T kill Oak." Paul was going to say something, but Trip said, "We're done here, come on Paul, let's get out of here." Paul nodded his head and the two Elite Four Members walked away from the three traitors. Dawn then looked at Brock and Dianthia and said, "I'm going to my seat, good luck guys." Brock and Dianthia nodded their heads and right after Dawn stepped off the Platform, it began to rise.
As the Platform rose, Brock and Dianthia heard the announcer say, "Welcome one and all to the final Semifinal Battle of the Otron Regional Tournament, in the red Corner, we have the team of Brock and Dianthia." Not a whole lot of people clapped for the two of them. The announcer then said, "Brock's the Gym leader of the Pewter City Gym in the Kanto Region and Dianthia is the Champion of the Kalos region, a region occupied by the armies from Sinnoh and Unova. However, Dianthia fully supports the occupation of her home region. I know I didn't do that with the past battles, but I have just been told to do that by Champion Ketchum. Now in the Blue Corner, we have the team of Cynthia and Flannery." The entire stadium was filled with applause for Cynthia and Flannery, causing Brock and Dianthia to get mad. The announcer then said, "Cynthia is the Champion of the Pokémon league in the Sinnoh region, however, she fully disapproves the Occupation of Hoenn and Kalos, and Flannery is the Gym Leader of the Lavaridge Gym in Hoenn, a region that I just said was occupied, but by the Armies of Kanto and Jhoto. Both Cynthia and Flannery fully support Ash Ketchum and stand by him, but enough of me talking, LET'S GET THIS BATTLE UNDERWAY!"
The referee walked up to his spot and said, "Trainers, please send out your Pokémon." Brock said, "Swampert and Golem, let's go!" and Dianthia said, "Gardevoir and Salazzle, I need your help." The four Pokémon that came out were Swampert, Golem, Gardevoir, and Salazzle. Brock then said, "As you can see, we chose Pokémon that puts the two of you at a disadvantage, so you might as well forfeit this match." Flannery and Cynthia smiled, and Cynthia said, "If you think we're worried, you're in for a big surprise." Cynthia then pulled out two Pokéballs and said, "Bisharp and Rhyperior, help me out!" and Flannery pulled out two Pokéballs and she said, "Abomasnow and Ludicolo, let's GO!" Bisharp, Rhyperior, Abomasnow, and Ludicolo did appear from their Pokéballs, catching Brock and Dianthia off guard. Cynthia then said, "It pains me to use Pokémon that I had no choice but to take, but when this tournament is over, I intend to return every single Pokémon." Flannery then said, "That goes double for me, that rule has been nothing but trouble."
"But I thought you were going to use the Pokémon that you used in your last battle." Said Brock, to which Cynthia said, "We figured you two would assume that, so we looked at the Pokémon you two were going to use and we entered the Pokémon we were going to use." Cynthia then said, "These Pokémon don't like you two because you two support that rule, they were taken away from their trainers because if we didn't, we would have been removed from our positions, but we've used our Positions to help Ash and his friends and family." The referee then said, "Battle begin!" Cynthia called the first two moves and she said, "Bisharp, use Metal Claw on Gardevior, Rhyperior, use Stone Edge on Salazzle." Flannery then called out moves and she said, "Abomasnow, use Leaf storm on Swampert, and Ludicolo use Hydro Pump of Golam." As Cynthia's and Flannery's Pokémon used the move they were told to use, Brock and Dianthia gave their Commands. Brock said, "Swampert, Dodge and use Muddy water on Abomasnow, and Golem, you dodge too and use rollout on Bisharp." Dianthia then said, "Gardevoir, dodge use Moon blast on Rhyperior, and Salazzle, dodge as well and use flamethrower on Ludicolo." Some of Brock's and Dianthia's Pokémon were able to dodge, but Swampert and Gardevoir took direct hits. Salazzle managed to dodge the Stone edge, causing the attack to hit the wall and Salazzle used flamethrower on Ludicolo, but it didn't do a whole lot of Damage. Cynthia told Bisharp to dodge the rollout and use Iron Head on Golem. Bisharp jumped into the air, causing Golem to miss and when Golem stood still, Bisharp came down and its head looked metallic and struck Golem on the head, doing serious Damage. Cynthia then said, "Rhyperior, use Hyper Beam on Gardevoir, he obeyed, and the hyper beam made its way to Gardevoir and Dianthia said, "Dodge it!" Gardevoir barely dodged it. Dianthia then said, "Use Magical Leaf on Rhyperior." As Gardevoir used Magical Leaf, Cynthia said, "Rhyperior, use Stone edge on the Magical Leaf." Rhyperior obeyed and created sharp pieces of rocks that flew towards the Magical Leaf and both moves met in the middle. As Gardevoir and Rhyperior battle, Cynthia told Bisharp to use Metal Burst on Gardevoir. Brock then said, "Swampert, stop Bisharp by using Hammer Arm." Then Flannery said, "Abomasnow, stop Swampert by using Wood Hammer, and Ludicolo, use Giga Drain on Golem, take him out of this battle." Ludicolo obeyed and used Giga drain on Golem, which did massive damage and made golem faint. Abomasnow also scored a direct hit on Swampert that took Swampert out of the battle too. Bisharp scored a direct hit on Gardevoir and, causing her to lose focus the stone edge got through and struck Gardevoir, sending her into the wall, and fainting. The referee then said, "Gardevoir, Swampert, and Golem are all unable to continue, trainers, please send out your new Pokémon." Brock recalled Swampert and golem and sent out Hippowdon and Seismitoad while Dianthia recalled Gardevoir and sent out Tyrantrum. Cynthia and Flannery looked at each other, nodded their heads and recalled Bisharp, Abomasnow, and Ludicolo and sent out Togekiss for Cynthia, and Tsareena and Serperior for Flannery. Brock then said, "Hippowdon, use sandstorm, and Seismitoad, use Bulldoze on Rhyperior." Hippowdon started up a sandstorm and Seismitoad charged Rhyperior. Cynthia then said, "Togekiss, use Dazzling Gleam on Tyrantrum, and Rhyperior, take the bulldoze and then use Crunch." Togekiss used Dazzling Gleam and it struck Rhyperior caught Seismitoad and used Crunch. Flannery then said, "Tsareena, use Power Whip on Hippowdon and Serperior, use Leaf Storm on Salazzle." The Pokémon obeyed their orders and attacked the Pokémon they were told to attack and Tsareena had big vines appear and the vines struck Hippowdon and sent Hippowdon into Salazzle, and the sandstorm would be ending soon after. As Salazzle got up, the leaf storm struck her and sent her flying into the wall, knocking her out. Dianthia was forced to recall her and send out her last Pokémon, a Gourgeist. Cynthia then recalled Ryhperior and sent out Chandelure. Flannery then said, "Serperior, use Leaf storm on Seismitoad, and Tsareena, you use stomp on Seismitoad as well," while Cynthia said, "Togekiss, use Dazzling gleam on Tyrantrum again and Chandelure, use Overheat on Gourgeist." All four Pokémon obeyed and used the moves they were told to use and scored direct hits on their target Pokémon because Brock and Dianthia were panicking. Cynthia then said, "I'm surprised that you lasted this long, being one of the worst Champions out of the core regions." Dianthia got angry and said, "How dare you, I have beaten tougher trainers than you, hell at least I don't believe a boy who killed a World-renowned Professor." Then Flannery then said, "Hahahaha, but you are a person who considers the leaders of Team Comet your allies." Dianthia got angry again and said, "Gourgeist, use Shadow Ball in Serperior, and Tyrantrum, use Fire Fang on Tsareena." Then Brock said, "Hippowdon, use Iron head on Togekiss, and Seismitoad use Scald on Chandelure." As Brock's and Dianthia's Pokémon obeyed their orders, Cynthia and Flannery stood there, and just before the moves struck, Cynthia and Flannery both said at the same time, "DODGE!" All their Pokémon jumped and dodged the attacks. Cynthia then said, "Togekiss, Dazzling Gleam/Fairy wind Combination on Tyrantrum, full power, and Chandelure, use Flamethrower/Overheat Combination on Gourgeist, maximum Power," and Flannery said, "Serperior, use Magical Leaf Storm Combination on Hippowdon, and Tsareena use Power Vine/Stomp Combination on Seismitoad." Their Pokémon obeyed and used the move combination they were told to use. Togekiss first used dazzling gleam and then glistening wind struck the dazzling gleam and made it go faster and struck Tyrantrum and sent Tyrantrum flying into the wall. Chandelure began spinning faster and faster as it shot flames as it was consumed in flames and rushed towards Gourgeist and struck it, delivering the final blow to Gourgeist. Tsareena had the big vines appear again and as the vines struck Seismitoad, Tsareena flew down and stomped Seismitoad into the ground, and Serperior made Magical leaves and combined them with a tornado of leaves coming from his tail and sent the combined moves into Hippowdon, causing huge explosions to cover the entire battlefield. When the smoke cleared, Tyrantrum, Gourgeist, Hippowdon, and Seismitoad were all on the ground with swirls for eyes. The referee then said, "Tyrantrum, Gourgeist, Hippowdon, and Seismitoad are all unable to continue, the winners are Togekiss, Chandelure, Tsareena, and Serperior, which means the match goes to the team of Cynthia and Flannery." The Crowd roared with excitement and as Brock and Dianthia recalled their Pokémon, the announcer said, "Incredible, not a single Pokémon lost in the Blue Corner, these two trainers have really proven why they hold the positions they have, and that is the final Semi-final Battle, the final battle will begin after lunch. Until then, trainers, KEEP ON TRAINING!" As the Platforms lowered the teams to the bottom, Dianthia looked at Brock and said, "Do you know what Flannery meant by me considering Team Comet my allies?" Brock shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm pretty sure that Ash would tell the people he's brainwashed into thinking that." Dianthia smiled and said, "Okay, and I know that you and your friends would never lie to me." Brock nodded his head and thought, 'We need to kill those bitches, especially fucking Ketchum.'
Meanwhile, with Cynthia and Flannery, they smiling as the platform stopped at the bottom. They were then greeted by Alain, Sawyer, John, and Ash. Ash was the first to speak and he said, "Congratulations Ladies, you two have done well." Cynthia replied, "It was nothing, besides, I always wanted to beat that horrible excuse of a Champion." Alain then said, "Agreed, she's a disgrace." Flannery then said, "Yeah, but I guess that means it's the four of us," looking at Alain and Sawyer. Alain and Sawyer smiled, and Sawyer said, "You better watch out ladies, we're not going to hold back," and Cynthia replied, "Good, we didn't want you two to hold back." Ash and John saw the fire in everyone's eyes and John said, "I think we need to crank up the AC, it's getting hot in here." Ash chuckled and said, "Alright you guys, we're late for lunch." Everyone nodded their heads and the six of them walked off to meet up with the others at the restaurant.
When they got to the restaurant, they found the others and as Alain, Sawyer, Cynthia, and Flannery got to the group, they saw Misty and were immediately confused. John looked at saw them and said, "Misty's with us, she's apologized for betraying Ash and wants protection from Team Comet." John then looked at Misty and saw that Misty was wearing Handcuffs and asked her, "Why are you wearing Handcuffs?" May K. answered the question by saying, "She's wearing the handcuffs to make it look like she's in our custody, and to deter any plans to rescue her." John then said, "We tried that already and they did bust her out." Shauna then said, "That's why we have the local police keeping an eye out for anything suspicious, come on now and sit down, let's eat." The six new arrivers agreed and sat down to eat. As lunch went on, Ash said, "We're going to keep your teams the same, if that's okay with the four of you." Cynthia nodded her head, as did Flannery, Alain, and Sawyer. Then John said, "We figured that if we switched the teams, it would seem a little bit unfair, with a champion and an Elite Four member against a Gym Leader and a Trainer." Then Cynthia replied, "It doesn't matter really, we're all strong, but I think we should put on a show for the crowd, a Mega evolved Pokémon Battle, Alain's Charizard, Sawyer's Sceptile, My Garchomp, and Flannery's Camerupt." Ash swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Only if the others are on board." Alain, Flannery, and Sawyer nodded their heads in agreement with Cynthia an Ash said, "alright, I'll tell the announcer and referee about this change." The competitors nodded their heads and Cynthia said, "Alright, once that's done, the winning team gets to go head to head in the final battle before one of them gets to face Ash." Ash smiled and said, "I'm ready to face every single one of you, no matter what, I want you guys to give it your all." Cynthia, Flannery, Alain, and Sawyer smiled and said, "We'll give it our all." Ash smiled again and said, "Good to hear that, now LET'S EAT!" everyone cheered and continued eating before they headed back to the stadium.
After eating all of their food, Ash and his friends arrived back at the Stadium, Alain, Sawyer, Cynthia, and Flannery shook hands and they went to their respective sides to begin the battle as Ash texted the Referee and the announcer about the change in the battle. When both teams got onto their respective Platforms, they began to rise, and they heard the announcer say, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Final double-tag Battle of the tournament of the First ever Otron Regional Tournament. I have just been informed by Champion Ketchum that this final battle before the actual final battle will be a Pokémon tag Battle with Mega Evolutions. In the red Corner, we have the team of Alain and Sawyer against the team of Cynthia and Flannery, all four of them are loyal to Champion Ketchum. NOW LET'S GET THIS BATTLE STARTED!" The referee then said, "Trainers, please send out you're Pokémon." Cynthia, Flannery, Alain, and Sawyer all pulled out a Pokéball and said, "Garchomp, Camerupt, Charizard, Sceptile, LET'S GO!" and they Pokémon the competitors would use came out and got ready. Cynthia, Flannery, Alain, and Sawyer then said as they pressed their Mega Evolution Key, "Garchomp, Camerupt, Charizard, Sceptile, MEGA EVOLVE!" All four Pokémon began glowing and change shape. After the lights faded away, all four Pokémon were in their Mega evolved Forms. The referee then said, "Alright, battle BEGIN!" Alain made the first attack and he said, "Charizard, use Flamethrower on Garchomp," while Sawyer said, "Sceptile, use Dragon Tail on Garchomp as well." As Charizard and Sceptile charged Garchomp, Flannery said, "Camerupt, use flamethrower on Sceptile," and Cynthia said, "Garchomp, dodge the flamethrower and Dragon Tail and use Dragon Rush on Charizard." Both Pokémon obeyed and Camerupt shot flames at Sceptile at Garchomp jumped out of the way of both attacks and used Dragon Rush on Charizard as the flamethrower struck Sceptile, both dealing serious damage to Sceptile and Charizard. Cynthia then said, "Garchomp, use Brick Break on Sceptile, rapid use of it." and Flannery said, "Camerupt, use Stone Edge on Charizard, Rapid fire, don't let up." Both Garchomp and Camerupt obeyed and as Garchomp charged Sceptile, Camerupt fired set after set of sharp rocks at Charizard. Charizard and Sceptile couldn't even get a single hit in, Alain and Sawyer were stumped. Alain looked at Sawyer and said, "These two are acting like Ash." Sawyer nodded his head and said, "They're certainly taking a page from his textbook." Alain nodded his head, he then turned towards the battle and said, "Charizard, fly up and use flamethrower on Garchomp." Charizard obeyed and flew high into the sky and used flamethrower on Garchomp from behind, giving Sawyer an opening and he said, "Sceptile, use Dragon Tail on Garchomp." Sceptile obeyed and struck Garchomp in the stomach with Dragon Tail, sending Garchomp sliding backward. Flannery then said, "Camerupt, use Fire Blast on Sceptile." Camerupt obeyed and shot a fireball that turned into a five-line blast and it struck Sceptile and knocking him out of the battle, it was down to Charizard now. AS Sawyer recalled Sceptile, Cynthia told Garchomp to use Draco Meteor on Charizard, Garchomp Obeyed and fired Draco meteor into the air and watched it explode and fly towards Charizard. Alain told Charizard to dodge the Draco Meteor, and he did, but he was too weak and got struck several times. Charizard then fell to the ground and was out of the competition. The referee then said, "Charizard is unable to continue, Garchomp and Camerupt are the winner's, which means the battle goes to Champion Cynthia and Flannery of Lavaridge Town!" and the crowd cheered in excitement as the announcer said, "Incredible, a tough fight put up by Alain and Sawyer, but they just couldn't compete against Cynthia and Flannery." Cynthia then said, "Flannery and I have made an agreement, neither of us wishes to fight Ash Ketchum, we believe he is innocent." Then Flannery said, "Yeah, those traitors would say anything to get people to doubt Ash."
After everyone left the stadium, Cynthia and Flannery were riding down the platform when two traitors, Brock and Barry, were waiting at the bottom and Brock was holding something under his shirt. Cynthia was worried and when Flannery asked what they wanted, Brock pulled out a gun and shot Flannery in the head, he then shot Cynthia in the head too, and the two traitors walked off. A few minutes later, Ash and John found Cynthia and Flannery's bodies lying on the platform and the police were called. Officer Jenny promised Ash and John that she would find the person who killed Cynthia and Flannery, but Ash said, "We already know who did it, the traitors did this." Officer Jenny then said, "They would be prime suspects, but they would probably cover for each other, and we can't use the cameras, they were destroyed a while ago." Ash then said, "Damn, this is getting old, we need to find out where they are hiding on Otron." John then said, "More like where they're hiding in Sunhill City?" Officer Jenny told Ash and John that she would have every officer in the city on the lookout for the traitors. John then said, "Well, I think now that there's no one to compete to see who can try and claim your title, and the traitors did this and know they would have to leave Otron so they wouldn't dare try to show their faces, I guess that means the tournament is over?" Ash looked at John and said, "Well, I mean that since Alain and Sawyer did technically lose, and Cynthia and Flannery were murdered by the traitors, I guess that the tournament is technically over, I'm going to issue an emergency Cancellation of the tournament, if the traitors did this, no one is safe." John and the officer Jenny nodded their heads and Ash led John to his house to write a speech saying that the tournament was over.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU SHOOT THEM?!" Shouted Tracy to Brock as Brock and the other Traitors were on a boat heading back to Kanto. Brock told Tracy, "They needed to be killed on Otron Soil to make it look like someone from Otron killed them, cause an international incident for Hoenn and Sinnoh, the people would want revenge. It would be the perfect way to get new recruits." Tracy then said, "Alright, just get back here as soon as you can, we need to make plans for war with Ash's…Alliance." Brock nodded his head and hung up the phone. Iris then walked up to Brock and said, "How did it go with Tracy?" Brock looked at his companion and said, "He wants us back in Kanto as fast as we can get there, we need to start making plans for war against Ash and his little Alliance of regions." Iris asked Brock if they will be able to win, with four regions on their side, and the countless number of regions Ash has by his side, and Brock said, "Everyone in the regions we have on our side believes anything we tell them, the local rebels are small and few in numbers, we can focus most of our attention on Ash and his alliance. I'm going to suggest to Tracy that we strike Otron first, the cruise ship didn't work, so I suggest a bombing campaign with fighter escorts in their naval Yards to pave the way for an amphibious invasion." Dawn nodded her head and the two walked back to the other Traitors.
Back in Otron, Ash was in his house when John walked up to him and said, "We found where they were staying."
"What do you mean by where they were staying?" asked Ash and John said, "I mean that they're not there anymore, we have video footage of them leaving the local Pier on a small boat, and Brock threw something into the water, from what I saw it was a pistol. I have people looking for it right now, and if it is a pistol and the barrel rifling's match the bullets pulled from Cynthia and Flannery, then we have no doubt that Brock was the one that killed them." Ash nodded his head and said, "Meaning that we need to keep this case opened until we have Brock in custody." John nodded his head and said, "I agree with you Ash, but I think that us arresting Brock won't happen until we capture him in the possible war with Team Comet." Ash crossed his arms and said, "I think that as well John, but for right now, we need to get ready for war." John nodded his head and walked out of the room. Ash then looked out the window, thinking to himself, will the war be necessary, or will it cost him and everyone that he knows their lives. (A.N.: This chapter might not be what people expected, but honestly, I do not care. I have been thinking of ways to end this chapter, but again honestly, I was planning to end the tournament in this chapter anyway, and what better way to end it with a murder, one more Chapter after this and it will be short.)
