Chapter 11
The blue ninja pokemon came out of its pokeball. Out in the other corner Calem threw his pokeball and a Meowstic came out.
"Greninja use aerial ace!" The ninja pokemon was quicker than lightning. It hit the cat pokemon. The cat pokemon flew back but quickly got back on its feet.
"Meowstic use shadow ball!"
"Water pulse to cancel it out!" Ash called out. There was a loud boom in the area.
Serena clamped her fist and held it near her heart. "These two...are fighting…. Not only for finals but...for me… I can feel their tension….what happened? They used to be good friends.."
"Alright now use psychic!"
"Use double team to dodge it Greninja and then cut!" Ash ordered.
The Meowstic wasn't fast enough for Greninja's speed. A blue white light came from Greninja. It grew bigger and stronger. The crowd gasped. "Greninja had mega evolved…? Is that even possible?!" The announcer called out.
The cat pokemon got dizzy from the immense speed. It lost its guard so Greninja used cut and it had a direct hit. "Finish it off with water shuriken!" Ash said.
There was water everywhere. Once it cleared up, Meowstic was on the ground with spiral eyes.
"Meowstic is unable to battle! The victory goes to Greninja!" THe referee announced.
Calem withdrew his pokemon and said, "you were great Meowstic thank you."
"Well…. If it wasn't for mega evolution even if that's considered mega evolution, Greninja wouldn't have been able to beat my pokemon." Calem taunted.
Ash and Greninja panted slightly in pain. "We just share a special bond that you and no other pokemon can have." Ash yelled back.
"If that's how it's gonna be...then…. ABSOL I CHOOSE YOU." Calem threw out his second pokeball.
"Absol...mega evolve!" The absolite stone glowed and the Absol also grew bigger with more features to it. It grew wing-like fur.
"Alright Greninja use cut!" Ash called out. The blue pokemon quickly landed a cut right after Absol finished mega-evolving. It flew back in defense mode.
"Absol, use swords dance!" Calem commanded. The white pokemon had a glowing light appearing from its fur.
"NOW USE SLASH!" Calem said.
"Clash it with cut!" Ash said quickly.
The two pokemon canceled each other out. Both had a tremendous amount of power.
"Quick attack Absol!" Calem said. It hit Greninja but it was still on its feet.
Ash thought, "damn that Absol is fast….."
"Aerial ace here we go!" Ash said. The pokemon had a direct hit against Absol.
"TOP IT OFF WITH WATER SHURIKEN!" Ash said.
"Absol, counter off with night slash!" Calem said, perspiring.
A loud boom echoed in the area and as the smoke started to fade away, Absol had fainted.
"Absol is unable to battle! The winner goes to Greninja!" The referee said.
Ash withdrew Greninja. "Alright good job Greninja, you deserve a good rest for now."
"Good job Absol you did your best." Calem complimented his pokeball before putting it away.
Calem threw out another. "Altaria! I need your assistance!"
The flying dragon pokemon cooed. It was gorgeous, like a bird in a white fluffy cloud.
"Hawlucha come on out!" Ash said. The gliding pokemon started to dance and boast a little once it appeared out of its ball. "Hawlucha, use karate chop!"
"Altaria, use Confide!" The blue dragon pokemon started to glow.
Hawlucha hit altaria but it didn't seem to do much damage.
Ash put his hand in a fist. "Alright now use flying press!"
Ash's pokemon waited for wind to pick up and it glided up in the air.
"Altaria, finish it off with dragon breath!" Calem commanded.
Direct hit at Hawlucha.
"Hawlucha is unable to battle! The winner goes to Altaria!" The referee raised his flag.
Ash withdrew his pokemon. "Hawlucha, you were awesome."
"Alright Noivern I choose you!" Ash threw out his third pokeball.
"Noiiiiiii-verrrrrrn!" The dark colored pokemon roared.
Serena thought, "oh no it's a battle against flying and dragon type pokemon… oh Ash, please be careful.. And Calem… too…" Serena put her hand to her heart. "Please you two...don't kill each other out on the battlefield… Battling may be tough and we all want to win...but we should still be friends after this.."
"Noivern use dragon claw!" A greenish glow came from Noivern's claw and it hit Altaria. Altaria was slightly damaged but it still held on.
"That doesn't make sense! It should be super effective… how does Altaria have such strong defenses!?" Ash thought.
"Okay Altaria use dazzling gleam!" A shimmer came from the pokemon and it hit Noivern back.
"Noivern are you okay?!" Ash called out. THe pokemon responded and nodded.
"Alright Noivern use Boomburst!" Ash said.
"Altaria use dazzling gleam again!" Calem yelled.
The two moves boomed in the area and once more, canceled each other out.
Fans started screaming for Ash and screaming for Calem.
"Okay let's wrap this up Noivern, use dragon claw!" Ash said with a fist pump.
"Altaria use dragon breath!" Calem called to his pokemon.
The two pokemon collided with each other and a dark grey smoke covered the area.
As it cleared out, both pokemon have fainted.
"Both Altaria and Noivern are unable to battle!"
Serena, Bonnie and Clemont gasped. "A double knock out!" Bonnie said.
"Well...it was supereffective for both of them. I'm just really surprised at how Altaria got to hang in there longer than I expected." Clemont noted.
"Noivern you were awesome. Take a good rest." Ash said and smiled at his pokemon.
Serena said to herself, "Calem has 3 pokemon left...and Ash has 4..but Greninja is probably still tired from his last 2 battles… It's pretty much almost matched up.."
"Okay Talonflame I choose you!" Ash called out his bird pokemon.
"Taaaalooon-talon flameee!" It screeched.
Calem threw out his pokemon. "Vaporeon, I choose you!"
"Va-vaaapor" The water pokemon appeared out of its pokeball with its dazzling mermaid like tail.
"Vaporeon, use quick attack!"
"Counter it with steel wing!" Ash said. The two hit and pushed each other backwards.
"Alright now use Flame Charge!" Ash said.
A red flame surrounded Talonflame's body. "Taloooooon" It was coming towards Vaporeon at quick speed.
"Use Aurora Beam!" A blast of ice cold hit Talonflame which slowed it down. "Now quick, hit it with hydro pump!" A burst of water shot from Vaporeons mouth and directly hit Talonflame. It was supereffective!
Talonflame landed on the floor with swirly eyes. "Talonflame is unable to batle. The winner goes to Vaporeon!"
Ash withdrew his pokemon and looked at Pikachu. "You ready buddy?"
"Pi pikachu!" It hopped onto the arena. "Ash's 4th choice is Pikachu! Talk about trying to 1-up each other on type advantages.." The announcer said.
"Okay pikachu, use electroball!" Pikachu emitted a sparkling ball from its tail.
"Dodge it Vaporeon!" Vaporeon dodged easily. It was very delicate on its feet.
"Now Vaporeon use hydro pump!" A burst of water shot at Pikachu. "Pika pi!"
Ash said, "pikachu! Are you okay?!"
Pikachu shook off the water. The area was soaked in water puddles. Ash looked at the water. "That it…"
"Okay pikachu use thunderbolt on the ground!" "Pikaaaa CHUUUUUU" the water conducted electricity and it hit Vaporeon. It was super-effective!
"Quick Vaporeon, use surf on yourself!" Calem said. Vaporeon splashed a wave of water on itself and its water absorb partly healed it. "You okay Vaporeon?" "Va Vapor!" It still had a sense of determination. "Okay Vaporeon use ice beam!"
The beam of ice hit pikachu and it froze its tail.
"Pikachu no!" Ash called out.
"Quick attack Vaporeon!" Calem called out.
It hit the yellow mouse pokemon faster than a blink of an eye.
"Okay Pikachu use thunderbolt on yourself!" It tickled but it was able to crack the ice and freed pikachu's tail. "Now use quick attack on vaporeon!"
"Vaporeon, use quick attack also!" The two pokemon collided.
"Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Ash said. "Vaporeon use ice beam!" The two colors yellow and blueish white created a massive boom.
It created a misty arena. "Okay pikachu HURRY AND USE QUICK ATTACK!"
Vaporeon was unable to see Pikachu as the mouse pokemon quickly hit the water pokemon.
"Finish it off with electroball!" The mist cleared and before Calem was able to call an attack, the electroball hit his Vaporeon.
"Vaporeon is unable to battle! The winner is Pikachu!"
"Okay Pikachu, take a good rest." Ash called back his mouse pokemon.
"Goodra, I choose you!"
"Goooooo-draaaaa" It echoed its voice in the stadium.
"Clefable I need your assistance!" Calem threw out his pokeball and a light pink pokemon appeared from the blue light.
Ash clenched his teeth. "Dang...he really wants to 1 up me with move types… well that's not gonna stop us!"
"Alright Goodra Use ice beam!"
"Counter it with Moonblast!"
"Now use Dragon Pulse on the rocks!" The rocks collided and hit Clefable. "Faaable!" It cried in pain.
"Nice move Ash, trying to hit in a petty way since dragon is weak against fairy." Calem called out.
"Petty or not, it's just a battling strategy!" Ash comebacked.
"Okay Clefable use Focus blast!"
"Counter it with Ice beam!" The two beams hit each other with another echoing boom.
"Now use Moonblast!" The pink pokemon shot a beam at Goodra.
"Use Bide!" Ash commanded with sweat all over his forehead. "Come on..hang in there Goodra.."
"Now use meteor mash!" It hit Goodra. The dragon pokemon held on strong. "Now...let her rip Goodra!"
Goodra let out its bide and it hit Clefable. "Quick use Moonblast!"
Clefable let out is moonblast before Bide hit Clefable.
A shining light shone and blinded the audience's eyes.
"Both Goodra and Clefable are unable to battle!"
Serena gasped. No way! "They just keep canceling their pokemon out! Now Calem only has one pokemon..but it's his strongest… and Ash has 2 pokemon he already use that are tired…" She had a worried look on her face. "Come on Ash...don't..give up."
"Okay Pikachu, ready to battle once more?" Ash looked at his partner. "Pika!"
It hopped on the battlefield once more.
"This is my final and best pokemon. CHESNAUGHT I CHOOSE YOU!"
One stomp of the green grass pokemon and the stadium floor shook. "Battle begin!"
"Lets get it started Pikachu, use iron tail!" Ash commanded the mouse pokemon.
It hit Chesnaught but it rarely did any damage. The shell was very strong and protective.
"Chesnaught use brick break!"
"Counter it with iron tail!" The two impacted their moves and made a loud crashing sound. "Pika pi!"
"Okay use electroball!"
"Slice it through with brick break once more!"
"Nows your chance use quick attack to gain speed, spin, duck and use iron tail from below!" Ash said.
Pikachu hit its iron tail from under Chesnaught's shell where it was vunerable.
Chesnaught was injured a bit. "Hit it back with body slam!" Calem called out.
"P-ikaaaa!" Pikachu cried. Ash jawdropped. The giant pokemon slammed onto his mouse pokemon. There was a loud thundering sound.
"Pikachu is unable to battle! The winner is Chesnaught!" The referee called.
Ash ran to his pokemon and picked it up. "You okay buddy?"
"Pikaaaa pi…" It responded weakly. "You did great bud, remember Chesnaught is still injured from your attacks. Take a good rest Pikachu." He carried his pokemon back to his square.
Serena sighed. "I hope Pikachu is okay.."
Ash took a deep breath. It was now 1 pokemon each and Greninja was at a type disadvantage. Who is going to be the last one standing?
"Greninja come on out!" Greninja came out of the blue glittery beam.
"Alright Greninja let's give it all...WE GOT!"
The two were in sync immediately and a glow formed in Greninja. It grew an X on the back and was surrounded by water.
"Greninja use cut!"
"Hit it with brick break!" Calem called out.
The two pokemon hit each other head on.
"Now use Wood hammer Chesnaught!" Calem said.
"Double team quick!" Ash said. The ninja pokemon created multiple copies of itself.
"Keep your eyes peeled Chesnaught, Greninja could attack from anywhere."
"Now use cut at its legs!" Ash said.
The cut tripped Chesnaught and it landed on its shell like a turtle on its back.
"Hit it with aerial ace!" Ash said. Aerial ace did the job. Kinda. Chesnaught's defense was weakened greatly, not to mention Pikachu also weakened it.
"Chesnaught body slam let's go!" The giant pokemon lept up in the sky and was heading straight down on Greninja.
"WAATER SHURIKEN!" Ash punched the air with confidence. The two pokemon had a major impact against each other. Smoke came up again. And in the shadows, one pokemon remained standing.
"Who will it be?!" The announcer cried out as the audience screamed and cheered.
Ash closed his eyes. "You got this Greninja."
Serena clenched her hand to her heart even tighter.
Calem squinted as the smoke started to clear.
Greninja stood standing, and Chesnaught lied with swirly eyes.
"Chesnaught is unable to battle! The winner is Greninja which means, ASH KETCHUM IS STILL OUR CURRENT CHAMPION!"
One tear came down from Serena's face. "He won. He did it. Oh Ash…"
