Chapter 10
Disclaimer- I do not own Pokemon unfortunately. All of its characters belong to Nintendo but I do own some OCs and the OC that I don't own the owners knows who they are.
A few days passed since the Inkay incidents and Bonnie and the group all were currently resting in the Camphrier Town Pokemon Center. They finally arrived in Camphrier Town a day ago and spent the whole day battling and travelling around the city sight-seeing. Currently they were all still sleeping in the pokemon Center and the girls and the boys were separated in three different room. Bonnie, Lyn, and Ashley were all sharing one room while Becky and Cass were in the other room. The two boys were both currently in their room.
Becky was slowly opening her eyes as her Fletchling alarm clock started ringing. She slowly took her left hand and turned her clock off. Becky started to recall what was important about today; it was the day of the Type Tournament. She couldn't wait to compete in the Type Tournament and she was getting extremely excited about having her first battle later today. She already knew what pokemon she was planning to use in the first round and she believed that her Fennekin could honestly win its first battle. Becky slowly started to get out of the bed she was resting in. She walked over to the bathroom and was currently looking at her reflection. Becky long carrot hair started to frizz up and her emerald green eyes were becoming dull as she stared at herself. She was currently wearing her Braixen pajamas that she bought a few days ago. Becky decided to go and get ready to take a shower. After she finished taking a shower she then went and put her clothes on. She was going to wear the new clothes that she bought a day ago. Becky was wearing orange jean shorts and orange exotic top. To top it all off she was wearing her baseball hat and black fingerless glove. She then put her black laced boots on. "I should probably wake up Fennekin and Fletching," She thought to herself. She slowly walked towards her bed and she started to nudge her two pokemon. Eventually after she did it for three minutes her Fennekin was slowly waking up and it launched a small ember at her face. Her Fletchling accidently pecked her in the arm and Becky reached her arms out and picked her two pokemon up.
Becky reached in her pocket and pulled her Holocaster out to look at the time. It was currently only thirty after seven and signing up for the Type Tournament was going to begin in an hour. She was extremely excited for the tournament after all it would be the day that she shows people how strong she trained her pokemon. "I should probably spend a little more time training my pokemon for the tournament later today," she thought to herself. Training was something that she needed to do and because she still had more time until the tournament began she decided to get her pokemon ready to battle. "Fennekin and Fletchling ready for some training!" Becky looked at her two pokemon who got excited about training. She couldn't wait to get more training in since she honestly never spent a lot of training the past few days. She looked all around the pokemon center and she walked toward Nurse Joy who looked exhausted and had bags under her eyes. "Hello is there anything that I can help you with," Nurse Joy asked exhausted. "Yes, I was wondering if I could use the training room," she asked. "Sure however there is another person in the room at the time," Nurse Joy stated as she handed Becky a key to the room. Becky and her two pokemon started to walk toward the training room. After looking around in the Pokemon Center they finally made it to the Training Room and they opened the door.
Becky saw an older girl in the room training her pokemon. The girl had medium red hair that reached her shoulder and her hazel eyes glowed with curiosity. She wore a ruffled camisole aqua top and a pleated blue skirt. On her left hand she had her ribbon aqua purse and she had her felt aqua hat on her head. To top it off she wore black tights and aqua blue Mary Jane shoes. "Hey are you also here for training," the girl asked her. "Yeah I am here for training for a tournament that I am going to compete in later today," Becky told the girl. "Are you competing in the type tournament?" "Yeah I am and are you too?" "Yeah I am actually," the girl told her.
"My name is Becky and I am specializing in fire type pokemon." "My name is Carrie and I plan to become a Dark Type Master." "What pokemon do you have Carrie," she asked curiously, wanting to know what pokemon Carrie had. "I only have an Umbreon, Butterfree, and Charizard with me at the moment," Carrie told Becky. "But if you want to become a dark type master why is the majority of your pokemon flying type?" "Do you know the rules of the Type Tournament?" Becky shook her head in confusion. "There is a rule that states trainers can use only up to two types for the tournament. Those trainers are known as a Duotype user and they are allowed to use two types of pokemon. So I specialize in dark and flying types," Carrie explained to her. "I only have a Fennekin and a Fletchling," Becky told the older girl. "You should specialize in Fire and Flying type." "Really thank you so much but I am thinking in fire and normal. Fennekin and Fletchling ready for some training!" Becky started to instruct her pokemon for training and she continued talking to Carrie learning all about the Type Tournament rules. "Becky let me explain to you all about the Type Tournament. The battle formats are all different in each type tournament. Some tournaments may be double battles and others may include activities such as racing or quizzes. There is however also gym leaders just like the Pokemon League but it is not necessary to battle them. There are also 8 gym leaders just the same as the pokemon league but they are in different places. Winning against one of the eight leaders allows immediate access to compete in the Kalos Elements Grand Tournament. That is because the 8 leaders all won the Kalos Element Grand Tournament once so they are extremely powerful and if you can beat them it mean that you deserve the chance to be able to compete in the tournament. But to even be able to get into the huge tournament you need to win four medals. There are also an Elite 4 and a Champion however you can only battle them once you win the big Tournament. If you can win the Tournament you are offered the chance to take on the Elite Four, request any Type Specialist even members of the Kalos Elite Four, or replace one of the 8 gym leaders."
Becky listened with full intent and understood everything about the Type Tournament. She was currently having her Fennekin fire various attack at the various moving targets. Her Fletchling was currently still working on how to fly. Carrie was currently having her Umbreon fire multiple dark pulse attack at the moving targets. Her Butterfree and Charizard also continued launching attack at moving objects. "Fennekin and Fletchling I want the two of you to work on dodging attack now." Becky knew that both of her pokemon never competed in battles before so she wanted both of her pokemon to learn how to at least dodge attacks. She was quite worried that if she ever had to battle Carrie in the tournament that she would be completely destroyed because she didn't know much about battles.
Becky reached in her pocket and pulled her Holocaster out to look at the time. It was currently only thirty after eight and signing up for the Type Tournament already started to begin. "Carrie we need to get going," Becky said quickly as both of her pokemon noticed that she was anxious. "Why do we need to get going," Carrie asked slightly annoyed. "We need to go because the Type Tournament sign up are starting," Becky stated as she slowly started to walk out of the training room. Carrie followed Becky as she continued walking toward Nurse Joy. "Hello, there. Are you two here to register for the Type Tournament?" "That's right," Becky exclaimed with excitement. "That will be fine. Are you both going to register?" Nurse Joy asked. "I am for sure," Becky replied excitedly. "I'll do it," Carrie said cheerfully. "I'll be more than happy to sign you two up for the Type Tournament. I'll just need both of your licenses, please," Nurse Joy requested. The two girls did as they were told and handed Nurse Joy their IDs. The pokemon nurse scanned them through her computer before typing in some information. She then handed the two trainers back their licenses. "There, I have you two registered for the Type Tournament. However I am going to need to know which pokemon you are going to use for each round." The two girls quickly told the Nurse what pokemon they were going to use in each round. Becky decided that she was going to use her Fennekin in the first and final round. She was going to use her Fletchling for the 2nd and 3rd round. Carrie was going to use her Butterfree in the 1st and 4th round her Umbreon in the 2nd round. Finally she was going to use her Charizard in the 3rd round. After the two girls finished signing up they both decided to go get some breakfast. As they were all walking toward the cafeteria that was when they both heard a familiar voice. "Carrie," Ashley said extremely shocked. Ashley was with Bonnie, Lyn, Cass, Ray, and Fabian and they all looked at the girl Becky was talking to. Everyone was quite confused how Ashley knew the girl that Becky was walking with. "It's been a while since I last saw you Ashley," Carrie stated impressed at how tall Ashley got when she first saw her. "It sure has been awhile and I see you met my friend Becky. Why don't we go and catch up," Ashley suggested. "That's a great idea and you can introduce me to all of your friends," Carrie told Ashley. Everyone then all decided to go walk toward the cafeteria. They made it to the cafeteria and all went to go get food to eat. Everyone got food to eat and they all went to go sit down. "Everyone I want you to meet an old friend of mine Carrie," Ashley introduced to all of her friends. "Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you all!" They all quickly introduced each other to Carrie. "Ashley how do you know Carrie," Bonnie asked clearly intrigued. "A few years ago my older sister Selina went on a journey with her friends. During their journey that was when Selina met Carrie. The two of them became rivals and shortly after they became good friends, Selina decided to go and introduced me to Carrie. I often talked to the two of them on the video phone while they traveled through the Kanto Region." The Kanto region wasn't that where Ash is from," Bonnie thought to herself. Ashley continued telling her friend the story about Carrie.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Camphrier Town Element Tournament, right here in Camphrier Coliseum," the MC roared over the deafening screams of the fans in the stands. "Sixteen Pokemon Trainer from Kanto, Hoenn, Kalos, and Alola have traveled all here to compete in this famous event! I'm your MC Duke, and I'll be providing you with the play- by- play action!"
"I'm in it to win it," Becky stated.
"This competition will be tournament- style format, meaning one loss, and you're done!" announced MC Duke. "So good luck to all of our competitors!... Oh wait! I almost forgot! The winner of this tournament will not only win this fabulous golden medal, but the chance to battle the Camphrier Gym Leader, FERRAND!" With that, Ferrand himself walked onto the battlefield, and bowed. He had very short dark black hair and had magnificent alluring azure blue eyes. He wore a black plaid shirt and a short black cargo pants. On his left hand he was carrying a huge sword and in his right hand a shield. He was also wear armor and had a helmet on his head. "Who shall act with their pokemon most gracefully with fierce determination to face me in battle? I am here to find out," Ferrand said excitedly. "With that, let's take a look at our first-round matchups! All of you would direct your attention to the screen above us, the matchups for the first round are about to be announced." All eyes turned to the large screen where the faces of each of the participating trainers were shown. A computer than randomly switched the pictures around before moving them into pair. "Okay them; it looks like our first battle will be Becky versus Chevalier." "I'm up first," Becky muttered as she took her eyes off the scoreboard and looked over at the real Chevalier, who was a boy slightly older than her and was wearing an outfit that would suit a warrior. "Next we will have Calvin against Sol, followed by Marty against Giles. The fourth battle will see Dax battling Garland with the fifth battle featuring Rita against Selene. The sixth battle will be Lux against Ariel. The seventh battle will see Robyn battling Lucas. And the eighth and final battle of the round will see Carrie face off against Avon." "I'm up last," Carrie said, turning to look at Avon, a boy with black hair and who wore an orange t-shirt and jeans.
"Now, will the first two trainers please make their way onto the battlefield," Ferrand announced. All of Becky friends wished her luck as she and Chevalier both made their way to the battlefield. A male referee in an orange shirt met them and directed them to take their position on different sides of the battlefield, with Becky being classed as the red trainer and Chevalier as the green trainer. Once both were in position, the referee announced," This battle is about to begin. Will both trainers please send out the pokemon that they wish to battle with?"
Becky took out a pokeball and threw it, calling out," Fennekin I choose you!" Fennekin then jumped out of its pokeball and was ready to battle.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Chevalier too threw out a pokeball and shouted," Honedge, you're up!" Honedge was a sword like pokemon that started to float all around the battlefield.
Becky took out her pokedex to go and find out about her opponents pokemon.
Honedge, the Sword Pokemon
Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force.
"Becky has chosen to go with Fennekin while Chevalier has gone with Honedge. Two interesting choices, don't you think Ferrand," MC Duke asked.
"Very interesting, even so Fennekin has an advantage over Honedge. Chevalier is going to need to use skills in order to beat Fennekin," Ferrand believed.
"If we could all turn our attention to the screen where the coin flip will determine which trainer gets to go first," MC Duke announced.
On the screen a large golden coin with an image of a Magikarp on the front and pokeball on the back appeared on the black backdrop. The coin flipped and landed with the image of the Magikarp facing upwards. At the same time, the black backdrop turned red.
"There it is. The red trainer gets the first move," MC Duke stated.
"Are both trainers ready," the referee asked the two trainers.
Becky and Chevalier both nodded their heads.
"Begin!"
Becky wasted no time in getting things started. "Alright Fennekin, use your scratch attack." Fennekin started to extend its claws and continued running toward Honedge. It jumped in the air and scratches Honedge with one of its front paws, leaving a white trail of energy. However when Fennekin tried scratching Honedge it went completely through it.
That was when Becky got confused for how Honedge didn't take any damage from scratch attack.
"That was a bad move by Becky and her Fennekin. Becky and her Fennekin started off with a normal type move and since Honedge is a ghost type no normal type move will hurt it," Ferrand commented.
Chevalier was more prepared for the battle however and he called out a support move.
"Honedge, use Sword Dance." Twelve blue glowing swords circle around Honedge. Red and orange lights shoot upwards in front of it and then balls of the same colored aura appear in front of Honedge, before disappearing, raising its attack.
"Honedge continue with your Metal Sound attack." Honedge body glows light blue and it emits silver colored sound waves that spread out towards Fennekin, forcing Fennekin to hold her ears in pain. Fennekin continued to cry in pain as the metal sound hurt her ears.
"Uh oh! This is not good for Becky. Metal Sound is a pretty good special move and Fennekin holding her ears mean that the move is doing a lot of damage," MC Duke stated.
"Becky is going to need to think of a way to stop Metal Sound before she is eliminated," Ferrand believed.
"Fennekin," Becky called out to her pokemon before she placed her left hand towards her heart. "Trust me and use your ember attack!" Fennekin looked back at Becky and nodded her head trusting her trainer 100 %. The little fire type closed her eye and blasted out a wind filled with lit ember at Honedge as she continued holding her ears.
The sword pokemon stopped using it metal sound attack and was completely stunned by the ember attack. Due to Honedge being stunned it allowed Becky enough time to call out her next move.
"Fennekin use your tail whip attack." Fennekin started to wag it tail at Honedge, tickling it.
"That was quite a surprising turn there by Becky," MC Duke observed.
"Yes it was, Fennekin not only managed to stop it Honedge from using metal sound but it also did some serious damage on Honedge along with lower it defense. This may have just changed the flow of this battle completely," Ferrand added in.
"Honedge let take this fox down so use shadow sneak." Honedge shadow zooms forward until it is behind Fennekin.
"Fennekin use your substitute attack." Fennekin moves quickly and creates an afterimage of it.
The shadow then raises its sword and the sword comes out of the ground. Honedge shadow then slashed Fennekin. Once the shadow sneak hit the afterimage it disappears in a puff of smoke.
"That was quite a surprising turn there by Becky and her Fennekin," MC Duke observed.
"Yes it was, Fennekin not only managed to avoid getting hit by shadow sneak by creating a substitute. But was using substitute a great idea on her part? After using substitute Fennekin just lost 25% of its health. This decision might have just changed the battle completely," Ferrand added in.
"Fennekin use your ember attack now while they still can't see," Becky shouted. Fennekin looked back at Becky and nodded her head understanding what her trainer was planning to do. The little fire type blasted out a wind filled with lit ember at Honedge as the puff of smoke vanishes.
"Honedge are you okay," Chevalier shouted worriedly to the sword pokemon. Honedge gave a defiant cry but this cry however became one of pain as a crackle of red energy shot across it body. Honedge body covered in flames, hurting it. Honedge fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
"And Honedge has become burned by Fennekin ember attack! That will really tip the balance heavily in Becky's favor," MC Duke announced.
"We're not beaten yet! Honedge use your fury cutter attack!" Honedge unsheathes itself and flew toward Fennekin.
"Use your scratch attack to stop the fury cutter one more time!" Fennekin started to extend its claws and continued running toward Honedge. It jumped in the air and collided with the fury cutter attack.
The two pokemon moves continued to collide and then another crackle of red energy coursed through it body as the effect of the burn continued to weaken it still further.
Becky then started to remember a few days ago when Cass battled Inkay and had her Froakie use it cut attack and then launched bubbles at the needle. That gave her a great idea that she wanted to try out with Fennekin.
"Fennekin use your scratch attack and launch an ember attack on your claws to finish off Honedge!" Fennekin started to extend its claws and it fires a blanket of orange sparks at its claws. Fennekin claws glowed bright red with flames and it continued running toward Honedge. It jumped in the air and scratches Honedge with its front paws hitting Honedge.
Fennekin delivered its blow to Honedge and the sword pokemon was thrown back. It crashed to the ground several feet away and did not get back up.
The referee raised his flag and announced. "Honedge is unable to battle so Fennekin wins. Becky will continue on to the next round!"
Cheers went out across the stadium as Fennekin turned and jumped into Becky's arms for a hug. Opposite of them a dejected Chevalier recalled Honedge to its pokeball and then walked off of the battlefield.
"I think that we can all agree that was a stellar performance from both trainers in this first battle," MC Duke announced to the crowd.
"Absolutely, one trainer lost but both should be proud of the fight that their respective pokemon put up. I hope that the rest of the battle will be just as exciting."
Becky then went and started petting Fennekin head and the small fire type pokemon loved the affection.
(Highlights)
"Litten use your ember attack," Sol shouted to his fire cat pokemon. The little fire type blasted out a wind filled with lit ember at Calvin's Gloom, defeating it.
"Gloom is unable to battle, Litten wins, so the match goes to Sol of Melemele Island!"
"Loudred use your hyper voice attack," Giles shouted to his big voice pokemon. Loudred opens its mouth and releases a beam of air with blue circles in it at Marty's Beautifly.
"Beautifly is unable to battle; Loudred wins so the match goes to Giles of Verdanturf Town!"
"Starmie use your water pulse attack," Dax announced to star shaped pokemon. Starmie body becomes outlined in blue and it releases a huge wave at Garland's Dusclops.
"Dusclops is unable to battle; Starmie wins so the match goes to Dax of Cerulean City!"
"Rowlet use your leafage attack," Selene order the grass quill pokemon. Leafage launched a barrage of leaf at Rita's Drilbur.
"Drilbur is unable to battle; Rowlet wins so the match goes to Selene of Melemele Island!"
"Absol use your sucker punch attack to finish this battle," Lux asked the disaster pokemon. Absol jumps high into the air and delivers a powerful kick to Ariel's Grumpig with one of its legs.
"Grumpig is unable to battle; Absol wins so the match goes to Lux of Mosdeep City!"
"Whimiscott use your Moonblast attack," Robyn order the windveiled pokemon. Whimiscott gathers energy from the Moon. It then forms an orb of pink energy from its mouth and fires it at Lucas's Sneasel.
"Sneasel is unable to battle; Whimiscott wins so the match goes to Robyn of Castelia City!"
"The eighth and final battle of the first round is about to get underway," announced the referee. "Trainers choose your Pokemon!"
Carrie snatched up a pokeball and threw it. "Butterfree, show them your power!"
Opposite from her, Avon took out a pokeball and tossed it out onto the battlefield. "It is show time Dragalge!
Becky who was watching took out her pokedex once again.
Dragalge, the Mock Kelp Pokemon
Tales are told of ships that wander into seas where Dragalge live, never to return.
"And there it is, Avon has decided to go with Dragalge, and Carrie is going with Butterfree," MC Duke announced.
On the screen the coin flipped and landed on heads, giving Carrie the first move.
"Butterfree, let see how well your aerial training paid off. Start off with your tailwind attack." Butterfree flapped its wings hard once again and flipped around and flew behind Carrie where it closed its eyes and gave one quicker flap of its wing before returning to its original position.
"Carrie and Butterfree have just given themselves a speed edge, everyone," Ferrand informed.
"Butterfree continue with your sleep powder attack." Butterfree started to flap it wings and tiny little blue spores appeared and started to make Dragalge fall asleep.
"Carrie already managed to make Dragalge go to sleep. I wonder what she is planning," MC Duke said.
"Butterfree finish Dragalge with Dream Eater!" Butterfree eyes flash red and it creates a shadow-like version of itself. The shadow then goes through a sleeping Dragalge, sucking all its energy.
The referee raised his flag and announced. "Dragalge is unable to battle so Butterfree wins. Carrie will continue on to the next round!"
"Join us again after intermission when eight trainers who made it through will battle it out in the second round," MC Duke announced to the crowd.
"Just to show you what you can expect after the intermission. Here are the matchups that we will be seeing," Ferrand stated.
Up on the screen, photographs of each of the 8 remaining trainers appeared and were paired together.
To start things off, Lux the dark type trainer would battle against Sol the fire type trainer. Next Robyn the fairy trainer would battle against Giles the normal type trainer. Becky would then battle against Carrie. Finally Selene the flying trainer would battle against Dax the water trainer.
Later the group was all sitting around a table in the cafeteria that the contestants were allowed to eat at. Each and every one of them had a large plate filled with assortments of food in front of them.
"Oh, man, I'm starving," Ray exclaimed.
"Me too," Lyn added.
"Then let's dig in," Cass said, picking up a fork as she picked up a piece of salad.
They all started to talk to each other about what they were planning to do next.
"In a few days I have my Breeding Competition so I have a lot of training that I need to do if I want to win it," Fabian informed everyone.
"I hate to say it but you are going to need to do a lot of training. My friend Ally is also competing and she is an incredible breeder so you are going to have difficulties," Carrie told Fabian.
Shortly after they finished eating their food, intermission was over and it was time for the quarterfinals to begin.
The noise in the stadium was loud, but MC Duke's voice coming over the loudspeaker system quickly quietened down the spectators.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Camphrier Town Element Tournament, coming to you from the Camphrier Coliseum. My name is Duke and I will be commentating today, joined by Camphrier Town's very own Gym Leader, Ferrand "The Knight" Alexis!"
Ferrand join in at this point. "Thanks Duke. Well, he said it folks, we are back with the Element Tournament. We are now beginning the second round of our tournament, and this means that trainers will be facing opponents that are much tougher than the ones that they faced earlier today."
"First up, we will have Lux against Sol. Next Robyn against Giles and Becky would then battle against Carrie. Finally Selene will battle against Dax."
"All of our trainers will be competing for a place in the semi-final matches which will be held this afternoon. So I think that it is safe to assume that they will be pulling out all the stops today as they and their pokemon aim for victory," Ferrand said.
"Now let us begin, if the first two trainers could please make their way out onto the battlefield," MC Duke announced.
(Highlights)
"Litten use your ember attack," Sol shouted to his fire cat pokemon. The little fire type blasted out a wind filled with lit ember at Lux's Absol.
"Absol finish with your dark pulse attack." Absol opens its mouth and a light purple orb surrounded in black and purple circles appears inside it. It then fires a beam of black and purple circles from the orb inside its mouth at Litten.
"Litten is unable to battle; Absol wins so the match goes to Lux of Mosdeep City!"
"Loudred use your hyper voice attack," Giles shouted to his big voice pokemon. Loudred opens its mouth and releases a beam of air with blue circles in it at Robyn's Whimiscott.
"Whimiscott use your Moonblast attack," Robyn order the windveiled pokemon. Whimiscott gathers energy from the Moon. It then forms an orb of pink energy from its mouth and fires it at Giles's Loudred.
"Loudred use your echoed voice attack." Loudred vibrates the two bumps on the side of its face, releasing sound waves from them and blowing Whimiscott away.
"Whimiscott use your Hurricane attack," Robyn order the windveiled pokemon. Whimiscott tail glows white and it swings its tail, releasing multiple white crescent-shaped energy blades from its tail at Loudred. When the energy blades hit Loudred, they explode, causing a powerful wind to come out of them.
"Loudred is unable to battle; Whimiscott wins so the match goes to Robyn of Castelia City!"
"It is no time for the third battle to begin!"
"Now let us begin, if two trainers could please make their way out onto the battlefield," MC Duke announced.
A male referee in an orange shirt met them and directed them to take their position on different sides of the battlefield, with Becky being classed as the red trainer and Carrie as the green trainer. Once both were in position, the referee announced," This battle is about to begin. Will both trainers please send out the pokemon that they wish to battle with?"
Becky took out a pokeball and threw it, calling out," Fletchling I choose you!" Fletchling then jumped out of its pokeball and was ready to battle.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Carrie too threw out a pokeball and shouted," Umbreon, you're up!"
Becky took out her pokedex to go and find out about her opponents pokemon.
Umbreon, the Moonlight Pokemon
Umbreon evolved as a result of exposure to the moon's waves. It hides silently in darkness and waits for its foes to make a move. The rings on its body glow when it leaps to attack.
"Becky has chosen to go with Fletchling while Carrie has gone with Umbreon. Two interesting choices, don't you think Ferrand," MC Duke asked.
"Very interesting, neither pokemon has any particular advantage over the other in term of type, so this battle will be all about the skill of battle," Ferrand stated.
"If we could all turn our attention to the screen where the coin flip will determine which trainer gets to go first," MC Duke announced.
On the screen a large golden coin with an image of a Magikarp on the front and pokeball on the back appeared on the black backdrop. The coin flipped and landed with the image of the Magikarp facing upwards. At the same time, the black backdrop turned green
"There it is. The green trainer gets the first move," MC Duke stated.
"Are both trainers ready," the referee asked the two trainers.
Becky and Carrie both nodded their heads.
"Begin!"
"Umbreon start off with your double team attack." Umbreon body glows white and it creates multiple copies of itself.
"Fletchling use your quick attack!" Fletchling started to walk quickly and collided into Umbreon.
"Fletchling now continue and use you growl attack." Fletchling opens its mouth and lets out a high, piercing growl that distorts the air.
"I wonder why Carrie isn't retaliating and is allowing Becky's Fletchling to attack," MC Duke asked Ferrand.
"I think she may be planning to go and use a powerful attack to win," Ferrand believed.
"Use your tackle attack!" Fletchling charges towards Umbreon and tackles it.
"Umbreon use your dark pulse attack!" Umbreon opens its mouth and a light purple orb surrounded in black and purple circles appears inside it. It then fires a beam of black and purple circles from the orb inside its mouth at Fletchling.
Umbreon delivered its blow to Fletchling and it was thrown back. It crashed to the ground several feet away and did not get back up.
"That was a quick battle and it showed just how powerful Carrie truly is," MC Duke announced.
The referee raised his flag and announced. "Fletchling is unable to battle so Umbreon wins. Carrie will continue on to the next round!"
(Highlights)
"Starmie use your water pulse attack," Dax announced to star shaped pokemon. Starmie body becomes outlined in blue and it releases a huge wave at Rowlet.
"Rowlet use your leafage attack," Selene order the grass quill pokemon. Leafage launched a barrage of leaf at Starmie.
"Starmie is unable to battle; Rowlet wins so the match goes to Selene of Melemele Island!"
"Well, there you have it folks! The four trainers advancing to the semi-final rounds have been decided and they are Lux, Robyn, Carrie, and Selene. We're gonna take a break for a while, but be sure to come back for this afternoon's exciting battles," MC Duke announced.
"See you then!" Ferrand added.
Everyone all went to go and comfort Becky. They all knew how Becky really wanted to win the Type Tournament but she lost against Carrie. They continued to comfort Becky even encouraging her. "Becky you were amazing and you placed quite high for your first tournament and first battle. You shouldn't even be ashamed of yourself. Most trainers won't even make it past the 1st round so you getting past it mean something," Carrie comforted her.
"You really think that I am a good trainer. You're right I don't need to go and mope around. I did become stronger so I shouldn't be sad and thank you. But you better not lose this tournament. Promise me that you can go and win this tournament for me," Becky asked her.
"I promise that I will go and win this tournament for you!"
Shortly after they continued talking to each other that was when they looked at the time and went back to the Coliseum.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Camphrier Town Element Tournament, where the first battle of the semi-final round is about to get underway. The two trainers who are about to battle it out for a place in the final round are Carrie and her opponent, Selene!"
(Highlights)
"Rowlet use your leafage attack," Selene order the grass quill pokemon. Leafage launched a barrage of leaf at Charizard.
"Charizard use your fire spin attack." Charizard swings its tail, sending a trail of yellow-orange fire from its tail flame at Rowlet. The flame then circles around Rowlet, trapping them in a ring of fire.
"Rowlet go and use your peck attack." Rowlet started flying and it then went and pecked Charizard wing.
"Charizard finish with your slash attack." Charizard slashes Rowlet with its claws.
"Rowlet is unable to battle; Charizard wins so the match goes to Carrie!"
"Absol use your dark pulse attack." Absol opens its mouth and a light purple orb surrounded in black and purple circles appears inside it. It then fires a beam of black and purple circles from the orb inside its mouth at Loudred.
"Loudred use your hyper voice attack," Giles shouted to his big voice pokemon. Loudred opens its mouth and releases a beam of air with blue circles in it at Absol
"Loudred use your echoed voice attack." Loudred vibrates the two bumps on the side of its face, releasing sound waves from them and blowing Absol away.
"Absol use your sucker punch attack to finish this battle," Lux asked the disaster pokemon. Absol jumps high into the air and delivers a powerful kick to Loudred with one of its legs.
"Loudred is unable to battle; Absol wins so the match goes to Lux of Mosdeep City!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Camphrier Town Element Tournament, where the -final round is about to get underway. The two trainers who are about to battle it out for a chance to battle Ferrand are Carrie and her opponent, Lux!"
"Trainers choose your Pokemon!"
Carrie snatched up a pokeball and threw it. "Butterfree, show them your power!"
Opposite from her, Lux took out a pokeball and tossed it out onto the battlefield. "It is show time Absol!"
"And there it is, Lux has decided to go with Absol, and Carrie is going with Butterfree," MC Duke announced.
On the screen the coin flipped and landed on heads, giving Carrie the first move.
"Butterfree, let see how well your aerial training paid off. Start off with your tailwind attack." Butterfree flapped its wings hard once again and flipped around and flew behind Carrie where it closed its eyes and gave one quicker flap of its wing before returning to its original position.
"Carrie and Butterfree have just given themselves a speed edge, everyone," Ferrand informed.
"Absol use your dark pulse attack." Absol opens its mouth and a light purple orb surrounded in black and purple circles appears inside it. It then fires a beam of black and purple circles from the orb inside its mouth at Butterfree.
"Absol use your sucker punch attack," Lux asked the disaster pokemon. Absol jumps high into the air and delivers a powerful kick to Butterfree with one of its legs.
"Butterfree finish it with your silver wind attack." Butterfree flaps its wings, releasing a wind with silver crescents in them at Absol.
The referee raised his flag and announced. "Absol is unable to battle so Butterfree wins. "
"How about we get started for the battle between Carrie and Ferrand," MC Duke asked.
"Sure, I've been waiting for this," Ferrand anticipated, walking down to the battlefield.
"For our special match, our winner Carrie will be facing Element Tournament Ferrand one-on-one! This promises to be a good match, so let's kick back and enjoy," MC Duke said.
"Aegislash, en garde," Ferrand said. His Aegislash emerged from the pokeball, and bowed elegantly.
"Charizard, I choose you," Carrie said, releasing her fiery dragon.
"Fire-types resist Steel- Types, so the advantage should go to Carrie. But you never know what you're dealing with when it comes to Ferrand," MC Duke strategized.
"Do your best," Bonnie and everyone cheered.
"First move is going to do a lot! Charizard use you sunny day attack," Carrie shouted. Charizard body becomes surrounded in golden energy and it raises both of its hands into the air. It then fires multiple golden, ring-shaped energies into the sky, causing the sky to become sunny and clear.
"Aegislash use your sword dance attack." Twelve blue glowing swords circle around Aegislash. Red and orange lights shoot upwards in front of it and then balls of the same colored aura appear in front of Aegislash, before disappearing, raising its attack.
"Charizard use your fire spin attack." Charizard swings its tail, sending a trail of yellow-orange fire from its tail flame at Aegislash.
"Aegislash use your King Shield attack!" Aegislash swirls around while in Blade Form and then turns into Shield Form. Light blue hexagonal shapes appear one by one in front of Aegislash until they form a shield, blocking itself from the fire spin attack.
"Charizard use your fire spin attack." Charizard swings its tail, sending a trail of yellow-orange fire from its tail flame at Aegislash. The flame then circles around Aegislash, trapping them in a ring of fire.
"Aegislash use your sword dance attack." Twelve blue glowing swords circle around Aegislash. Red and orange lights shoot upwards in front of it and then balls of the same colored aura appear in front of Aegislash, before disappearing, raising its attack.
"Charizard use your solar beam attack and do it quick." Charizard glows a faint yellow. Numerous yellow balls appear and float around Charizard as a larger ball forms between its antennae and it fires a beam of energy at Aegislash.
"Aegislash use your shadow claw attack." Aegislash claw becomes surrounded by black aura with a purple outline. The aura then takes the form of a claw and Aegislash slashes Charizard with it.
"Charizard is unable to battle, so Aegislash is the wins! Which mean the match goes to Elemental Gym Leader Ferrand!"
"Ferrand ends the battle in one hit, taking care of Carrie with no effort. Ferrand is ruthlessly powerful, folks," MC Duke said in awe.
Ferrand bowed to the crowd, returning Aegislash, and he went to go and get a medal for Becky.
He then walked over to Becky and put the medal on her neck. "That was quite a good battle after all. I must say that I am quite impressed with how you battle!"
"And now the Camphrier Town Element Tournament is concluded," MC Duke announced.
So how was it everyone? Please tell me what you thought in a review. Constructive responses are alright
I have two things that I need to address
Rivals are not going to return because people wants them too. Rivals aren't going to appear every single chapter of the story and instead appear only when needed. That being said most rivals are going to appear in the Chapter for the Battle Chateau. So I better not hear about characters aren't appearing when they have no reasons to.
Another thing is if you are going to request a pokemon that the characters will catch. Make sure that the pokemon that you request can be found in Kalos in the games or at least try to make an appropriate story for why the pokemon is there.
So that is all that I going to inform you about one thing that is not going to appear in the story.
Chapter 11: The Sword and the Ninja
