Hey there! Surprise chapter! I was going to wait a few more days, but W0lfWarrior's review inspired me to write the next chapter now.

Chapter 10: Calem vs Black
"Wow." Hilda smiled at Black, who had actually woken up earlier than Nate.
"I haven't have a proper battle since the tournament. What do you expect." Black shrugged and took a sip of his coffee.
"You're not going to lose though." Red muttered just loud enough for the whole table to hear.
"You think I don't know?" Calem grumbled from the other side of the table.
"Don't worry about it." Serena gave him a sort of weak smile.
"Yeah don't worry about it. You aren't going to win against anyone past Ruby." Nate snickered.
"Shut up you jerk." Diamond took his hat, commencing a chase battle.
"Losing ain't so bad, if you know how to deal with it." Gold gave him a sympathetic nod.
"Says the second best Legend." Red muttered again.
"Says the World Champion." They started a stare battle.
"Don't you think you have to get rivalry sometimes? Just so you don't feel left out." Ruby told Calem and shook his head.
"Nah. I got Serena." He held her hand with a slightly somber smile.
"Let's just get on with it." Black got up and took his pokéballs.
Calem sighed and followed him.
(After the ride)
"The Unova World Tournament. Why am I not surprised." Calem looked around to see the other Legends on the seats.
"This is an official Pokémon match. What did you expect." He shrugged and released his Gigalith. Calem nodded and took out his Greninja to counter.
"Stealth Rock!"
"Surf!"
Greninja hit Gigalith with a wave of water, but it firmly stood at 1% and shot the stealth rocks.
"Sturdy does wonders." Black winked and commanded Gigalith to Explode in case Calem decided not to attack.
"Toxic Spikes then!"
Greninja released toxic spikes on the ground and Gigalith literally exploded, defeating Greninja and fainting.
"Come on!"
"You gotta make the best of what you got. A Gigalith at 1% is useless unless it has Explosion to give that last hurrah and make the best out of his 1%." He nodded.
Calem sighed. "Greninja was going to get poisoned by its Toxic Orb anyways. Go! Yveltal!"
"Zekrom! Show him what you got!" He grinned.
"Fusion Bolt!"
"If he's faster, regain health with Oblivion Wing!"
Yveltal was (9 points) faster but only took 20% health from Zekrom. Zekrom, on the other hand, defeated Yveltal in one hit.
"Fine. Xerneas! Moonblast!"
"Roost!"
Even though they both had the same speed, Zekrom regained its health back first. It didn't matter though, since Xerneas' Moonblast made it faint right after.
"Bisharp! Iron Head!"
"Geomancy!"
Xerneas was faster and started its Geomancy move, at the cost of losing 80% health because of Bisharp's Iron Head.
"Shit." Calem put a hand on his forehead.
"You would've won with that Moonblast, since Xerneas is faster. Anyways, Posion Jab to keep your PP."
Xerneas finished Geomancy and gained 2x SpA, SpD, and Spe, but couldn't stop Bisharp from defeating it.
"Alright then. Lucario!" Lucario appeared on the battlefield and mega-evolved.
"Focus Blast!"
"Close Combat!"
Lucario was way faster in its Mega Form and it defeated Bisharp, losing Def and SpD. (495.9% DAMAGE HOLY MOTHER OF DRAGON-PLATED PRIMAL ARCEUS)
"Here's my ace! Samurott! Go!" Black's starter cried with one its swords in its paw.
"Extreme Speed to finish him quickly!"
"SURF!" Black yelled with emotion, his face lit up by happiness.
Mega Lucario was faster, but only dealt 42% damage. Samurott hit him with a violent wave of water, making it faint.
"Oh." Calem whispered, realizing the situation. "You trapped me."
"Yep." He replied with a grin. "Now choose. Zygarde or Talonflame."
"Zygarde! Try an Outrage with force!"
"Water Pulse to confuse him!"
Samurott succeeded in dealing 31% damage and confusing Zygarde before fainting to the Outrage.
"Darmanitan! Hammer Arm!"
"Outrage!" Calem saw a glimpse of hope with Zygarde's typing.
Zygarde was (1 point) faster but lost 8% of its health in confusion. Darmanitan then proceeded to deal 24% damage at the cost of its speed. This left Zygarde at 37% health.
"Come on Zygarde, snap out of it and use Outrage!"
"Hammer Arm again!"
They repeated the process, leaving Zygarde at 5%.
"Come on. I know you can do it!"
"Finish him off!"
Zygarde finally ignored its confusion and used Outrage on Darmanitan to leave it at 3%. This triggered Damranitan's Zen Mode. Zygarde then fainted to Darmanitan's attack.
"ARGH!" Calem clutched his hat.
"Talonflame! You're my last chance!"
"Darmanitan, finish this with a Stone Edge." He took a step back.
"Flame Charge!" Calem cried desperately.
Talonflame was far faster and defeated the Zen Darmanitan.
"Here's a nice surprise." Black grinned, taking out...another Samurott.
"What!? There's a rule against that!"
"You'll see." He put a finger on his smiling lips and whispered the command in the Samurott's ear.
"Whatever. Heat Wave!" Calem commanded, thinking there had to be a trick.
Talonflame attacked first and dealt 24% damage to the Samurott that revealed itself to be a Zoroark upon being attacked. The Zoroark used Foul Play in return to leave Talonflame at 60%.
"Oh. Phew." Calem wiped sweat off his forehead. "Heat Wave again!"
"Repeat the process."
And that's what happened, leaving Zoroark at 52% and Talonflame at 20%.
"And so it was." Black smiled, knowing he had won.
"I think I stood a chance there for a second." Calem actually grinned, despite knowing of his defeat.
Zoroark dealt the final move and finished the match.
(Back at the House)
"That was tense." Hilda smiled.
Black nodded, grinning. "It was. I-"
"Whatever." Gold interrupted him.
"Grab on to your pokéballs because your next battle is against me." He grinned, pointing a thumb at himself.
"I don't even care anymore." Calem shrugged. "I know I'm not nearly as good as any of you so I'll just try my best and that's that."
"Good attitude. I didn't have that when I was your age." Red half-smiled.
"Stop it. You sound like the old man in Viridian City." Leaf put a hand on his shoulder, comforting him.
"I'd recommend you sleep well before your battle." Serena copied Leaf and put a hand on his shoulder. "You're starting to sleep too late."
"Yeah." Calem nodded and approached the stairs. "I think you're right."
Alright I gotta do this fast because this isn't my computer and the owner needs it now. I only need to remind you to tell me if you want the female tournament and that's it. After the battles the real fun will start. Anyways, don't forget to review and see you next chapter!
Bye!
