Chapter 15 The Final Frontier
It was now seven pm as Ash appeared on the right hand side and Josh appeared on the left side of the battlefield as took his place. Typhlosion and Empoleon was standing side by side with Josh. Kameo and Kiara sits down next to Simba and Fox.
"The Smash World Tournament at the Lily of the Valley Island." The announcer said. "And today's competitors in the final round is Ash, facing off against Josh. Let's see our battlefield for today."
The battlefield disappeared and reappeared with a grass field.
"A grass battlefield. So prepare folks for a full heated six on six battle!"
"The finals." Brock smiles, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Do your best, Ash!" Dawn called out.
"Go go!" Piplup cheered, waving his pom poms.
Krystal and Ember was sitting down in Katie's lap as Fauxy sat besides her trainer.
Claiming his victory over Lucario, Ash has advance to the finals for the first time, if he becomes victorious, setting his appearance to challenge the Elite Four.
"Let's see our competitors first Pokémon!"
Pokémon Called Gods
Josh took out a Pokéball and threw it in the air. The Pokéball opened and Josh's Lucario appeared. Josh's Lucario was wearing his Mega Stone on his right arm.
"There's his Lucario." Ash muttered.
Serena notices Lucario wearing the Mega Stone, but couldn't see a Key Stone on Josh.
"Hey Clemont." Serena said. "Shouldn't Josh have a Key Stone with him?"
"I've been thinking the same thing." Clemont answered. "Maybe his Key Stone is hanging from his backpack."
High above the battlefield in the President's Room, Korrina remembers what happened that day. Gurkinn gave Josh his Key Stone after the gym battle. When Josh received his own Key Stone, the Key Stone glowed and went inside Josh's body.
"It's been a long time." Korrina said.
"Go, Gliscor!" Ash yelled, throwing a Pokéball into the air. The Pokéball opened and Gliscor appeared.
"Ha!" Gliscor yelled.
"It has been decided that Ash will get the first move." The referee announced. "Begin!"
"Use Fire Fang!" Ash ordered.
Gliscor's mouth becomes covered in flames and attacks Lucario.
"Dodge and use Power Up Punch!" Josh commanded.
"Heh!" Lucario grunted, dodging to the left. His right paw became surrounded in an orange aura and punches Gliscor.
"Ggrh!" Gliscor grunted as he was sent flying to the air.
"Calm Mind!" Josh ordered.
"Hhmm." Lucario said, closing his eyes. Lucario's body glowed with a blue aura of light.
"Calm Mind raises the user's Special Attack and Special Defense Stats." Brock said.
"Power Up Punch!" Josh commanded.
"Dodge and jump into the air!" Ash shouted.
"Nice try!" Gliscor shouted as he dodges Lucario's orange punch and jumps into the air.
"Calm Mind!" Josh commanded.
Lucario closed his eyes again and his body glows again.
"Stone Edge!" Ash commanded.
Two light blue rings appear around his body. The ring then glowed white and forms into white stones that spins around Gliscor's body. The white glow fades into gray rocks. Gliscor then fires the stones at Lucario.
"Dodge then Calm Mind again!" Josh called.
Lucario does a couple back flips, dodging every stone and landed as his body glows again.
"Lucario dodges Gliscor's attacks and keeps gaining stats!" The announcer shouted.
"Let's do it, Lucario!" Josh shouted.
"Right!" Lucario called.
"He's up to something." Ash muttered.
Josh spreads his arms wide. "Key Stone, respond to the call of my spirit and the bond of the Pokémon. Lucario, Mega Evolve!" Josh yelled.
Three pairs of colored rainbow lights appeared from Josh's body as a bright orange light glows brightly from the Lucarionite. Lucario's body was engulf in a light of the rainbow. The light rainbow disappeared as Mega Lucario appeared.
"HA!" Mega Lucario bellowed as the symbol of Mega Evolution appeared.
"Josh's Lucario Mega Evolved!" The announcer shouted.
"No way!" Serena gasps.
"Dragon Pulse!" Josh ordered.
Mega Lucario fires a multicolored dragon-shaped beam of energy from his mouth at Gliscor. Gliscor didn't have time to dodge as the beam of energy made contact, causing an explosion. The smoke cleared, revealing Gliscor fainted on the grass.
"Gliscor is unable to battle. Mega Lucario wins!" The ref declared.
Music Stops
"Josh's Mega Lucario is powerful." Simba said.
"Gliscor, return!" Ash called, pointing Gliscor's Pokéball.
Gliscor transformed into red energy and went back inside.
"And now for Ash's second Pokémon." The announcer said.
"Bayleef, I choose you!" Ash shouted, throwing the second Pokéball in the air and Bayleef appeared.
"All right." Bayleef said.
"Lucario, return." Josh said.
Mega Lucario transforms into red energy and went back inside his Pokéball.
"What will Josh's second Pokémon be?"
Josh took out a Dive Ball. "Go!" He yelled. Josh threw the ball high into the air and Kyogre appeared. The Expert Belt was attach on her left fin.
"Gyararoooah!" Kyogre roared.
"He has a Kyogre?!" May gasps.
Rain clouds were starting to appear high above the battlefield and it began to pour rain. Ash would never thought seeing another Kyogre.
"Since Bayleef is a Grass Type, Ash has an advantage since Kyogre is a Water Type." Max smiled.
"Razor Leaf!" Ash ordered.
"Take this!" Bayleef shouted. Bayleef swung her head and multiple razor-sharp leaves fly out from the leaf on her head.
Josh didn't order Kyogre to dodge. Kyogre took the attack.
"Alright, Bayleef!" Ash cheered. But he notice Kyogre didn't even attempt to dodge Razor Leaf.
"My turn." Josh chuckled. "Ice Beam!"
"Here it comes!" Kyogre shouted. A light blue ball forms at Kyogre's mouth and fires multiple light blue beams at Bayleef.
"Dodge it!" Ash yelled, but it was too late.
The attack made contact with Bayleef as she took the attack. Bayleef fell over, not moving.
"Bayleef is unable to battle. Kyogre wins!" The ref declared.
"Bayleef has been taken out with just one hit." Max said.
"Bayleef, return." Ash called.
Bayleef transformed into red energy and went back inside the Pokéball.
"You did great Bayleef." Ash smiled before he put it away. He stares at Josh.
"Who's your next Pokémon?" Josh called.
"Go, Staraptor!" Ash yelled, throwing a Pokéball in the air and Staraptor appears.
"Ready!" Staraptor shouted spreading his wings.
"Ash has chosen Staraptor as his third Pokémon!" The announcer shouted.
"Return!" Josh said.
Kyogre transforms into red energy and went back inside the Dive Ball. Josh looks over his right shoulder. "You're up, Empoleon." Josh said.
Empoleon nodded and walks past him on the field.
"And Josh's third Pokémon is Empoleon." The announcer said.
Darkrai vs Bellberto/ Lickylicky (Alberto)
"Begin!" The ref shouted.
"Staraptor, use Close Combat!" Ash shouted.
Staraptor attacks Empoleon with it wings at fast speed as he repeatedly hits Empoleon with his beak and wings. Ash has the upper hand since Empoleon is weak against fighting type moves.
"Gah!" Empoleon grunted in pain.
Josh didn't say anything to command Empoleon to dodge.
"Looks like Empoleon is in trouble!"
"Hydro Pump!" Josh commanded.
Empoleon blasts a powerful jet of water from her beak at Staraptor. Staraptor made a quick dodge to the left just in time.
Music Stops
"That was a close one." Barry sighed.
"Hm." Brock said, watching Ash.
The blue parts on her rims glows white and Empoleon slashes Staraptor with both wings. Staraptor hits the ground hard, unable to move.
"Staraptor is unable to battle. Empoleon wins!" The ref delclared.
"Taken out in one in hit." May said.
"Just how powerful is he?" Barry growled.
"Very." Brock answered.
"Staraptor, return!"Ash called as Staraptor went inside his Pokéball. Ash puts it away before he looks at Josh. "Josh's Pokémon is on a whole different level than I thought." Ash thought.
"Infernape, I choose you!" Ash yelled. He threw the Pokéball in the air and Infernape appeared.
"Ash's fourth Pokémon is Infernape."
"Good job, Empoleon." Josh smiled as Empoleon walks over to him.
"Thank you." Empoleon said. "Do you want me to keep going?"
"No." Josh said.
Empoleon nodded, walking over to his side.
Josh took out a Master Ball and threw it in the air. As the Master Ball lands in Josh's hands, his shiny Zapdos flies down to the field. The Life Orb was hanging onto Zapdos's right leg.
"Josh's fourth Pokémon is Zapdos!"
Ash has met many Legendary Pokémon during his travels, especially the Zapdos in the Orange Islands.
"Begin!" The ref yelled.
"Infernape, use Flamethrower!" Ash commanded.
Infernape releases an orange red flame at Zapdos, who dodges it very fast.
"Agility!" Josh ordered.
Zapdos flies towards Infernape very fast. Infernape uses Mach Punch to land a hit, but Zapdos disappears and appears behind Infernape. Before Zapdos can attack, Infernape's body was surrounded by red orange fire and shoots himself backward at Zapdos, landing a successful hit.
"Gah!" Zapdos grunted.
Zapdos flew to the other side of the battlefield.
"That was an excellent strategy." Brock smiles.
"Thunderbolt!" Josh shouted.
Zapdos's becomes surrounded in yellow electricity, then fires ton of electricity at Infernape, causing massive damage. The Life Orb glows a mystic purple, draining its health.
"That was a powerful Thunderbolt!"
"It is powerful" May said.
"It's because of the Life Orb." Brock explains. "The Life Orb makes the moves powerful, but it drain your health in exchange."
"You ok?" Josh called to Zapdos.
"Yeah..." Zapdos said, catching his breath.
Infernape was beginning to feel weak and feel his power rising, as his eyes glow red. A orange light shines brightly from his head and his flame grew to a massive size. His body became surrounded by a fiery aura.
"Infernape is back for a vengeance!"
"Go Infernape!" Dawn cheered.
"You can do it!" Piplup shouted.
"Flamethrower!" Ash shouted.
"HA!" Infernape bellow, firing a orange-red beam.
"Heads up!" Josh yelled. "Agility!"
Zapdos dodges the attack quickly, without being burnt.
"Use Thunder!" Josh ordered.
A lightning strikes Zapdos's body from high above.
"Flare Blitz!" Ash commanded.
Infernape's body became cloak by red-orange fire and shoots himself at Zapdos, as the fire turns blue. Zapdos's body was struck with lightning from above and releases the electricity from all angles of its body. The two attacks collided and a huge explosion occurred as smoke covers the battlefield. The smoke clears up and it was revealed that Zapdos and Infernape was lying on the ground.
"Zapdos and Infernape is unable to battle. This battle is a draw!" The ref shouted.
"Amazing! This is the first time that Josh lost his first Pokémon since he is in this tournament!"
"Way to go Ash!" Misty cheered.
"Awesome!" Brock nodded.
Zapdos transforms into red energy and went back inside the Master Ball.
"Good job, Zapdos." Josh said before putting the Master Ball away.
Infernape went back inside his Pokéball as well.
"I have to say, Ash." Josh said. "You are quite the trainer that I've."
"Thanks." Ash called, taking out a Pokéball. "Go, Charizard!" He threw the Pokéball into the air and Charizard appeared.
"RROOARR!" Charizard roared, letting out a strong wind.
"Ash's fifth Pokémon is Charizard!"
"Well now." Josh said, amazed taking out a Luxury Ball. "Let's go!" He threw the Luxury Ball high into the air and a huge avaian bird Pokémon appeared. It has orange and yellow feathers with a silver beak and a silver feathered crest on its head. Ash couldn't believe it. He saw it with Pikachu and his friends. As the avian bird Pokémon landed on its feet, it spread its wings. It opens its yellow eyes.
"Josh's fifth Pokémon is Ho-Oh!"
Dawn, Misty, Iris, Serena, Bonnie and Clemont gasps. Everyone in the stadium except the members of the Elite Four and Champions who battle Josh.
"How the fuck did he caught Ho-oh?!" Paul growled enrage.
Ash swallows slowly, gazing upon Ho-oh.
"I'm amazed." Ash said with shock on his face.
"Ready, Ho-oh?" Josh asked.
"I am." The avian bird replied.
"Gggrr." Charizard growled.
"Hm." Ho-oh said, staring at Charizard.
"Begin!" The ref shouted.
"Flamethrower!" Ash shouted.
Charizard release a red-orange stream of fire at Ho-oh.
"Head to the air!" Josh commanded.
Ho-oh flaps its wings and flew high into the air, dodging the flames.
"You too Charizard!" Ash ordered.
Charizard flew after Ho-Oh in the air above the stadium. Ho-oh dodges several Flamethrowers and flew behind Charizard. A purple ball was forming in front of Ho-oh's mouth and Ho-oh fires the purple ball at Charizard, making a successful hit.
"Use Slash!" Ash ordered.
Charizard's claw glows white and grows longer before it slashes Ho-oh.
"Gah." Ho-oh grunted.
"Thunderbolt!" Josh shouted.
"Heh." Ho-oh chuckled. Her body became covered in yellow electricity and Ho-Oh spread her wings, releasing the electricity at Charizard.
"Aargh!" Charizard yelled, falling to the ground hard.
Ho-Oh flew several feet above the ground before landing on her feet. Charizard gets up on his feet, staring at Ho-oh.
"You're tough." Charizard growled.
Ho-Oh nodded.
"Use Wing Attack!" Ash ordered.
Both of Charizard's wings glow white and slams into Ho-oh, but Ho-Oh stops the attack with her wings before taking flight to the sky above the stadium. Charizard follows her in pursuit, firing a powerful Flamethrower.
"I'll admit your Charizard is strong." Josh said.
"Thanks." Ash said. "Charizard, use Dragon Tail!"
His whole tail began to glow blue and slams Ho-oh with his tail.
"Aahh!" Ho-Oh grunted as she hits the ground hard.
"Ho-Oh, Thunderbolt, full power now!" Josh roared.
"Ha!" Ho-Oh shouted, releasing the yellow electricity.
Charizard couldn't dodge it on time as he got zapped. Charizard smirks before he fell over on his side.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Ho-Oh wins!" The ref shouted.
The crowd cheered as Charizard was back inside his Pokéball. Ash was impressed with Ho-Oh's skills.
"Pikachu, you're up." Ash said, looking at Pikachu.
"Alright." Pikachu said, running onto the field.
"Ash's last Pokémon is Pikachu!"
"Ho-Oh, return!" Josh yelled. Ho-Oh transforms into red energy and went back inside the Luxury Ball. "Time to battle, Typhlosion."
Typhlosion nodded and walks onto the battlefield.
"Josh's sixth Pokémon is Typhlosion!"
Ash was waiting for Josh to sent out his Typhlosion. He has a plan to beat him.
"There's Josh's Typhlosion." Dawn said.
"Let's not forget Typhlosion can change into his forme like his match with Torterra." Max said.
"Begin!" The ref shouted.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" Ash ordered.
"Got it!" Pikachu shouted. Pikachu began running towards Typhlosion, leaving a trail of white light.
"FlameWheel!" Josh commanded.
Typhlosion ran at Pikachu as his body was covered in flames. Both attacks collided and Pikachu was sent flying high in the air.
"Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted.
"Ha!" Pikachu yelled, releasing his yellow electricity at Typhlosion.
Josh has said nothing as Typhloison took the attack. The smoke cleared as Pikachu landed on his feet.

"Let's go, Blaze Resonance!" Josh yelled.
From within the blaze tornado, Typhlosion's head was on fire, but it wasn't hurting him. The fire took the form of Josh's hair. Next, the fire on his back took the form of two flaming needles, forming an X. The blaze tornado began to disappear.
"There it is, the mysterious Typhlosion!"
"Thunderbolt, Pikachu!" Ash ordered.
"Cha!" Pikachu shouted releasing yellow electricity at Typhlosion.
"Dodge it!" Josh commanded.
Typhlosion did a backflip and lands on his feet. He brought both of his fist together and two white lights took the form of a needle. Typhlosion rushes at Pikachu fast and tries to cut him.
"Use Quick Attack to get behind him!" Ash ordered.
"Got it!" Pikachu shouted. He ran past behind Typhlosion, catching him off guard.
"Use Electric Ball!" Ash ordered.
"Take this!" Pikachu shouted. Electricity forms around his tail. The electricity forms into an orange-yellow orb of electricity and Pikachu jumps into the air and does a front flip throwing the orb at Typhlosion. Typhlosion dodges the attack and fired a powerful Flamethrower. Pikachu didn't have time to dodge the attack. Pikachu yelled in pain.
"Can you go on?!" Ash called.
"Yeah." Pikachu said getting up.
"Good, use Iron Tail in front of Typhlosion!" Ash ordered.
Pikachu's tail glows white and hits the ground in front of Typhlosion.
"What?!" Typhlosion growled, trying to look away.
"Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted.
"Cha!" Pikachu shouted, releasing electricity on Typhlosion.
"Gah!" Typhlosion grunted.
"Gr… ah!" Josh yelled, feeling the attack.
"All right!" Ash cheered.
Typhlosion took a couple steps back before he looks back at Pikachu.
"Way to go Ash!" Misty cheered.
"He used Iron Tail to catch him off guard before attacking him." Serena said.
"Go Ash!" Dawn and Bonnie cheered.
"Gah… haah…" Josh wheezed, trying to catch his breath. "Typhlosion, FlameThrower, full power!"
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt, full power!" Ash commanded.
Music Stops
Typhlosion and Pikachu released their attacks at once, creating a powerful explosion. As the smoke cleared, Pikachu was lying on his back out cold.
"Pikachu is unable to battle, Typhlosion wins!" the ref declared. "That means he victory goes to Josh!"
"We lost…" Ash muttered. He walks over to Pikachu and picks him in his arms. "You did great Pikachu."
"Thanks." Pikachu said.
"Ash." Josh said, walking up to the two. "You and your Pokémon did amazing today." He put his hand out and Ash shook his hand. Everyone in the stadium cheered.
"You did amazing!" Kiara cheered.
Josh, Kiara, Ash and Serena was in the lobby as the Pokémon was getting healed. Half an hour has passed as Charles walks up to them.
"So who are the four members you're going to choose?" Charles asked.
"I'll choose Bruno, Caitillin, Flint and Aaron." Josh said.
"Very well." Charles said and he left the lobby.
"I'm going to get some fresh air." Josh said, leaving the room.
Kiara said nothing as Ash and Serena were confused. Josh stood outside on the grass looking at the stars above him.
