Chapter 6: Calem vs Nate (prologue)
Alrighty then, chap 6. I just want to start this by saying that I kinda get why I'm not getting that many reviews now, seeing how Fanfiction can be so unfair at times. I mean, I saw a 8-chapter story about all the Legends battling and it only has 2 reviews from the same person. At the same time, I see a manga story about all the dex-holders in high school with 4 chapters and it has 24 reviews. 4 on the first chapter. Seriously. Anyways, I guess I don't really care anymore and I'll just write for fun now.
Before we start the chapter though, I just want to clear some things out. First, they're fighting with a ORAS/Pokémon Showdown engine. They're all lvl 100 and their life bars are represented in percentages. Some attacks that work here may not work on an actual match, but that's how I'm making it. That way it's unpredictable and entire teams aren't eradicated by a single Pokémon.
Second, I made a playlist so that you can get even more immersed in the epic battles between the Legends. You don't have to listen to that music, you can use your own, but it's the music I find best for each trainer. I decided to grab each theme directly from the games, that way I don't have to deal with people's opinions on remixes and it makes more sense. Here's the list:
Red: HGSS vs Champion theme/XY vs World Championship Finals/BW2 Blue's Champion theme
Gold: HGSS vs Gym Leader theme
Ruby: ORAS vs Rival theme/ORAS vs Champion theme/ORAS vs Hoenn Legendary theme
Diamond: DDP vs Giratina theme
Black: BW vs Elite 4 theme
Nate: BW2 vs Gym Leader theme
Calem: XY vs Champion theme or vs Kalos Legendary theme
I may change some, but that's the list for now. Also, I gave Gold the gym leader theme because there wasn't really a Champion theme for that region, since that theme is reserved only to Red. I mean, you can't imagine him fighting without his iconic badass theme. Finally, I promised you Calem and Nate's team, so here you go.

Chapter 6: Nate Vs Calem (Prologue)
When Calem and Serena arrived at the kitchen, Red, Gold, Nate, and Ruby were the only ones up. They complimented their new attire and continued eating.
"I forgot to tell you," Gold said through a mouthful of cereal. "You have to remake your team to adjust to the House Rules of Battling. The rules are made so battles are fair and you represent your home region.
Rule #1: You must have at least one legendary from your region. This is to represent your region's power and lore.
Rule #2: All Pokémon are lvl. 100. This is so Nate can't make a whole team made of Endeavoring, Quick Attacking lvl. 1 Rattatas with Focus Sashes." Gold looked accusingly at Nate, who shrugged it off with a smile.
"Rule #3: A Pokémon's HP is represented in percentages. This is so there's no confusion when dealing damage.
Rule #4: You cannot have two of the same Pokémon. This is a pretty obvious rule, since a whole team made up of only Arceus is just ridiculous.
Rule #5: You can modify a Pokémon's IV stats. This is so you can take full advantage of your Pokémon's power and potential.
Rule # 6: All your Pokémon must be from that region, unless it's an innovation of a previous Pokémon. For example, you may use your Lucario, but only if you make it
mega-evolve.
Rule #7: You must have your starter in your team. This is to show your bond with your Pokémon and to make the teams more balanced." Gold finished.
"Now that you know that, you'll have up to when everyone's up and ready to choose your Pokémon and prepare for the battle." Nate grinned. "If I win, you immediately get ranked lowest, right below me. I then get a chance to re-battle the others to raise my rank. You still get to fight the others though."
"Here's where it gets complicated." Red sighed. "If you win against Diamond, the one directly above, Diamond is the one that gets his rank lowered. Nate takes his place and you're under him, basically creating a shift in the ranks. This goes for all the other ones you face if you lost against Nate."
"If you win," Diamond grinned. "Then you simply go against me and Nate stays right at the bottom, where he belongs." Nate immediately launched himself at Diamond, who saw it coming miles away and dodged.
"SHUT UP PILLOW-HEAD!"
"Look who's talking, coconut head." Black suddenly got in the room and separated them both before they killed each other.
"Why does it always have to be me?" He shook his head, looking accusingly at Nate.
"You guys act like brothers. Black obviously being the older one." Calem smiled. They shuddered in response, imagining how it would be like to live with each other as brothers.
Calem got up and frowned.
"Uh...where are we going to fight?"
"Oh. The defendant chooses where to fight and goes there with his chosen Pokémon, the newcomer follows him with his. Everyone else rides on my Rayquaza and Diamond's Arceus as spectators." Ruby explained.
(Showing how everyone wakes up again is boring. Lets just get on to the exciting battle!") -Not Nate. Honest.
"You ready?" Nate smiled, standing atop Kyurem's cave.
"Always." Calem released Zygarde upon the battleground.
"Thought so." Nate's Emolga popped out of her pokéball.
They both grinned, trying to figure out what the other one was going to do next.
Calem silently commanded Zyagarde to Dragon Tail the Emolga out of there.
"Volt switch out!" Nate's Emolga attacked Zygarde (Who took no damage) and went back into her pokéball. Nate grinned before releasing a shiny Genesect, which got immediately hit by Zygarde's Dragon Tail, taking only 18.9% of its health. The Dragon Tail however, made it go back into its pokéball.
"Really? I wanted to show off my shiny Genesect that I got! Long story by the way. You can say, it was an event." He winked as his Serperior was switched in.
"Oh god. Please don't switch again or I might barf." Calem held a hand over his mouth.
"He's Ground-type! Giga Drain him!" The Serperior obeyed, and took Zygarde down to 60%.
"That was a grave mistake. Sludge Wave!" To Nate's surprise, Zygarde shot a wave of poison sludge at Serperior, who took 39.3% damage. (60.7% left)
"Didn't think he would have that move. Alright. Let's see what you do about this."
Serperior switched out with Genesect again, who took no damage from Zygarde's Sludge Wave.
"Here's my secret weapon! Techno Blast!" The shiny genesect shot a blast of ice at Zygarde, who miraculously survived with 2.6% health despite being hit by a 4x effective move.
"Nice one Zygarde. Now one final Earthquake!" The massively damaging move left genesect at 38% health.
"This is getting tense." Nate commented with a grin.
"Too easy." Calem panted.
"Finish him Genesect!" Its final Techno Blast finally devastated Zygarde.
"Let's see how you deal with this! Go! Talonflame!" The flaming bird flew into battle.
"Flame Charge!"
"U-Turn out of there fast!" But alas, the prehistoric bug was too slow for the flaming attack and fainted.
"The return of the king." Nate grinned as he let out his Emolga yet again.
Hey there! Did I leave you on a cliff-hanger? If I did, I'm not sorry. XD. I would continue, but making the battle accurate is really hard, since I have to use the Damage Calculator and type chart every five seconds. Rest assured, this battle will end up awesomely, just in about two or three days. (Damn you school!) Also, (I forgot to mention this before) I will only do the female tournament if I get enough requests for it. If I don't get requests for it, I won't do it. It's your choice.
