"Geez, I'm going to miss Kiyo," Tyson said, walking with Alexis and Bolt.
"At least he helped you out," Alexis responded. "Besides, you'll see him again during the Kalos League!"
"Yeah, now I'm ready to battle Korrina!" Tyson claimed, walking into his aunt's gym.
"So, I take it you're ready now nephew?" Korrina questioned. Tyson nodded, which made the mother smile. "Good let's begin!" As the duo began to get ready, Leon stepped in.
"Hell no!" he cried, which shocked the group. "Tyson, you aren't even strong enough with Kiyo's help!"
"Leon! Why are you acting like this?" Korrina inquired. Her son tightened his fist before pointing at his cousin.
"If you think you have a chance at Mom, you must mistake her for a Bidoof!" Leon stated, which made Tyson walk towards him.
"So you think I'm comparing Korrina to you?" he asked slyly. Leon growled before he then calmed down.
"You must be mistaken. I'm not on your rodent battling level," Leon responded to which Tyson move his hand away.
"Fine! Let's settle this!" Tyson demanded. "You vs me in a battle!"
"Great. I finally get to put you in your place!" Leon shot back. Both trainers gripped a Poke Ball and moved to the opposite sides. "This will be a 4 vs 4 battle! Scyther, slice and dice!"
With a mighty throw of the small capsule, a large green praying mantis landed on the battlefield. The new Pokemon rubbed his scythes next to one another, creating sparks towards Tyson.
Scyther, the Mantis Pokemon. It tears and shreds with its wickedly sharp scythes. It rarely spreads it's wings to fly.
"Fletchinder, let's fly!" Tyson called as his shiny bird flew around the battlefield.
"Shouldn't we stop this?" Alexis asked.
"No. The only thing we can do is stand back," Korinna answered walking to the ref's spot. "This will be a battle between Fletchinder and Scyther! Begin!"
"Scorch Scyther with Flame Charge!" Tyson commanded, wanting to set the tone of the battle.
Fletchinder was swallowed in red and orange flames before he shot up. The bird opened his wings as he flew towards Scyther. However, the opposing duo stood unfazed by the incoming super effective move.
"Stop him with Vacuum Wave!"
Scyther gained a light blue aura around his green body. The Mantis twirled in a circle that created as mini blue vortex. Fletchinder collided with the defensive maneuver, but was still thrown back. Scyther stop his attack and sent a devilish smirk Tyson's way.
"Let's switch it up, Fletchinder! Use Double Team and chase Scyther with Quick Attack!"
The dual type regained his focus and created multiple copies. Once Fletchinder was satisfied with the amount of clones, they all shot forward. Each bird left a bright trail of white light while Scyther slashed his scythes repeatedly.
"Take each one out with Slash!" Leon barked, wanting to prove Tyson's plan won't work.
The dual bug and flying type extended his sharp scythes. After positioning himself, Scyther shot into the sky with his sharp weapons in front. Taking out a few clones, Scyther proceeded to smirk at how easy this was. However, neither him or Leon noticed a smile on Tyson's face.
"Now smash him with Aerial Ace!"
As Scyther continued destroying copies, a sole Fletchinder squaked. The Mantis Pokemon bypassed the other birds and silenced the noisy bird. Much to his dismay, that was only a clone as Scyther picked his head up to see a shiny bird fly at supersonic speed towards him. Fletchinder ended up sending the bug type back into the ground and cleared up the rest of his clones.
"Answer back with Air Slash!"
Scyther shot his wings out and spreaded his scythes out. With one motion, Scyther shot an X on wind energy flying towards Fletchinder. Not able to respond quickly, the Ember Pokemon dropped to the ground because of the impact.
"I'm ending this! Scyther, use Wing Attack!" Leon ordered, not wanting to waste any time.
Scyther extended his wings out once more as the glowed a brilliant white color. Smirking at his injured opponent, the Mantis Pokemon flew towards Fletchinder once more.
"Get up and retaliate with Steel Wing!"
With his eyes opened wide, the Ember Pokemon ascended once again. He let out his wings as they gained a silver armor to them. Both dual types shot forward and slammed their wings against the other's. One clash after another, sparks flew off their collision. Fletchinder then rolled over Scyther and smashed his metal wings on the bug type's back. Scyther cried in pain as his trainer growled.
"Spin up with Vacuum Wave!"
Glowing blue once more, Scyther shot into the sky. Tyson bit his lip, knowing how strong that move his. The hatted boy racked ideas in his head countless times, but couldn't find the right one to use. Fletchinder squaked once more and quickly flew to the incoming bug and flying type. The Ember Pokemon wailed his wings and talons quickly at Scyther as the spectators watched in amazement.
"How is this possible?" Korrina's son asked, baffled at his Pokemon losing to Fletchinder's new move.
"What move is that?" Alexis inquired, watching the shiny Pokemon go.
"It's called Acrobatics," Gurkinn answered with his arms crossed. "It's pretty impressive of the Fletchinder to counter Scyther's Vacuum Wave with a move with extra fire power."
"I was probably wrong about your kid, my boy," Gurkinn thought. He looked up once more to see Scyther collide with the floor, unresponsive.
"Scyther is unable to battle, Fletchinder takes the win! Leon, chose your next Pokemon!"
"Lucky shot," Leon said, zapping Scyther back to his capsule. "It's time to douse that flame of yours! Prinplup, don't hold back!"
Pressing a button on the spherical device and out came a two feet blue penguin. The Sinnoh starter crossed his flippers and eyed Fletchinder with a serious expression.
Prinplup, the Penguin Pokemon. It lives alone, away from others. Apparently, everyone of them believes it is the most important.
"This will be a battle between Fletchinder and Prinplup! Begin!"
"Shoot a Bubblebeam at that bird!"
Prinplup reared his head back and positioned his body. By shooting forward, the water type spat several clear bubbles at the Ember Pokemon.
"Take them out with Razor Wind! Then fly in with Aerial Ace!"
Fletchinder's opened wings glowed a bright light. As the bubbles grew closer, the dual type swung his wings back and forth. Multiple razor sharp winds cut through the stream and flew to Prinplup. The Penguin Pokemon jumped out the way of the incoming attack to only get smashed by the orange and red bird. Prinplup slid in front of Leon, wiping the dirt off his shoulders.
"Fly in with Metal Claw!"
Prinplup's flippers gained a metal armor as he shot into the sky. Fletchinder couldn't track the water type as he slammed his hard fins onto his back. The Ember Pokemon hit the ground hard as he slowly picked himself up.
"Charge in with Flame Charge!"
The dual fire and flying type had encased himself with red and orange flames. The Kalos regional bird flew faster and faster towards Prinplup, who stood unfazed by the speedy Pokemon.
"Counter with Drill Peck!"
The Penguin Pokemon leaned forward, his beak forward. The beak glowed and shot forward, showing at how sharp it is. Prinplup waited and ducked under Fletchinder's attack. Then the water type slammed his beak onto the Ember Pokemon's stomach. The dual type couldn't regain his focus as he kept propelling down.
"Drown Fletchinder with Whirlpool!"
Prinplup glowed blue before it all went to his face. The Sinnoh Pokemon pushed his arms up into the air as a large twister of water was created. Prinplup then slammed the whirlpool down on Fletchinder, who was swallowed whole. Fletchinder shot up out of the broken twister and slammed into the ceiling, then hit the ground hard. The Ember Pokemon had his eyes shut, signaling his defeat.
"Fletchinder is unable to battle, the winner is Prinplup! Tyson, choose your next Pokemon!"
"Nice fight buddy," Tyson said, returning his fallen bird back to his spherical device.
"I never would've thought you would've taken out one of my Pokemon," Leon admitted, which made his cousin lookup. "But that stops now!" Tyson smirked as he enlarged his second Poke Ball.
"We'll see about that!" Tyson responded, preparing to throw the ball. "Elekid, it's fighting time!"the famous Sparkplug was released from his containment and cracked his knuckles.
"This will be a battle between Elekid and Prinplup! Begin!"
"Quickly, Elekid! Use Brick Break!"
Elekid turned back to nod at his trainer before eyeing Prinplup. The electric type leaped into the air with the lights shining behind him, which kinda made him look like Jesus. Prinplup squinted his eyes to see Elekid leaning his glowing hand down towards him.
"Block it with Metal Claw! Then attack with Brine!"
Prinplup put his fins into a X position. His fins gained metal armor as Elekid smashed into it. Sparks were created between the intersection. Elekid bit his lip to see Prinplup breath in a large breath.
"Stop the Brick Break and follow up with a Thunder Punch barrage!"
Elekid roared as he stopped his attack and ducked. The Penguin Pokemon still shot his breath of water, but it missed its target completely. Once Elekid landed, his arms had voltage dancing around him. Acting fast, the Electric Pokemon send an uppercut on the Penguin's face. Prinplup flew up in the air to only see his opponent slam his arm on the water type's stomach.
"Hold on and then send him back with Whirlpool!"
The Sinnoh Pokemon wrapped his fins around Elekid's arm, which surprised the electric type. Prinplup then opened his beak as a large twister of water was created. Elekid tried to move away, but was sucked into the vortex. The dual colored Pokemon copied Fletchinder's defeat as his back came in contact with the ceiling and Presley's to fall on the hard field.
"As he's falling, shoot a Bubblebeam, Prinplup!"
The Penguin motioned himself before he took in another large breath. Within seconds, Prinplup shot multiple water bubbles at the falling Pokemon.
"Regain your balance with a Shock Wave!"
The yellow and black Pokemon opened his eyes and swung his arms repeatedly. From sparks came voltage as the stream surrounded the caster. Not only did Elekid gently fall down, but the electricity popped the incoming bubbles his way. Elekid then felt his feet hit the ground and wiped his brow.
"Now shoot a Thunder Bolt!"
Leon growled as he saw his cousin's Pokemon roll his arms once more. Elekid roared as a stream of electricity shot towards Prinplup.
"Stand your ground with Metal Claw!"
Prinplup formed another X symbol with his fins. The fins glowed silver with power as the super effective more was put on hold. The Water type began to slide backwards toward his trainer, but still stopped the Thunder Bolt.
"Now fly in with Drill Peck!"
Prinplup threw his arms back to his sides after he stopped the surge of voltage. His beak grew sharper and he spun like a dreidel. Elekid huffed and puffed out of exhaustion.
"Let's finish Prinplup off with a spinning Thunder Punch!"
The tyke grabbed his arm, which had sparks of yellow electricity around it. In a matter of seconds, the arm was covered with electricity as he ran forward and added a twirl to it. His body became a yellow bullet as the duo looked as if they were about to clash.
"Now leap up!" Leon ordered, which shocked his cousin.
Obeying his trainer's orders, Prinplup shot up at the last minute. Elekid, who couldn't stop, keep going and collided into a wall. Getting back on the ground, Prinplup looked back to see a huge crater it the hole, which laid an unconscious Elekid.
"Elekid is unable to battle, the victor is Prinplup! Choose your next Pokemon, Tyson!"
The badge collector nodded and returned his fallen Pokemon back to its capsule to proceed to grab another one of his belt. "Frogadier, take back to momentum!" Out from his new red and white sphere emerged his starter, looking at his opponents. Once he saw Leon, Frogadier growled and went into a fighting stance.
"This will be a battle between Frogadier and Prinplup! Begin!"
"Cloud his vision with Smokescreen!"
Frogadier leaped into the air and began to make rapid fire hand signals before shooting a large cloud at the Sinnoh Pokemon. The cloud grew larger as Prinplup was swallowed whole.
"Emerge out with Drill Peck!"
In the midst of the Smokescreen, a whole grew larger as Prinplup shot out like a top. Once he got out, he locked eyes quickly with Frogadier, before proceeding down after him.
"Stop him with Ice Punch!"
The Bubble Frog Pokemon shot his hand forward as flakes of ice twirled around it. As Prinplup flew faster towards Frogadier, his opponent lifted his arm up his. The Kalos starter squinted his eyes find Prinplup's beak and smashed his fist down on it. Prinplup smashed his head on the ground before Frogadier made him stand once more.
"Now end him with a super-powered Cut!"
Frogadier leaped high in the air once more as his hand grew sharp. Prinplup held his head high to see his opponent slash his side before it all went black. The Penguin Pokemon fell face first back on the ground, this time, defeated.
"Prinplup is unable to battle, the winner is Frogadier! Leon, choose your next Pokemon!"
"My pleasure," Leon answered, returning Prinplup. "Gogoat, go win!" Now in front of Leon stood a large mountain goat with leaves around his neck and back. Gogoat had large horns and released a loud cry.
Gogoat, the Mount Pokemon. They inhabit mountainous regions. The leader of the herd is decided by a battle of clashing horns.
"This will be a battle between Frogadier and Gogoat! Begin!"
"Start off with a dual throw of Water Pulses!"
Frogadier stretched out his hands as two water orbs was formed in his palms. With a quick spin in the air, the Bubble Frog Pokemon chucked the duo at the all fours Pokemon.
"Smack 'em with Vine Whip and keep going!"
With a mighty roar, Gogoat shot two slick green vines at the incoming attacks. Once they collided, the green vines continued on their course and smack Frogadier a few times. The water type fell to the ground to see Gogoat charging at him.
"Now give him a Horn Leech!"
Gogoat's horns emanated a light green color as the horns grew out. The grass type lowered his head to get his horns closer to his target.
"Stop the assault with your frubbles and hold your ground!"
The Kalos Pokemon quickly jumped up and proceeded to do multiple back flips. While in the air, Frogadier grabbed a few frubbles from his scarf and waited for Gogoat to come. Once Gogoat's horns were in Frogadier's sight, the water type pushed his hands on the glowing horns. Because of Gogoat's pure strength, Frogadier was pushed back. With a loud cry, Frogadier tightened his grip on his opponent's horns and slammed him down. Shocking everyone, except his trainer, Frogadier jumped up into the air once more, showing sweat around the Bubble Frog's body.
"Duplicate yourself with Double Team, then attack with Cut!"
Frogadier completed multiple hand signals before clones of himself were created around him. Raising one hand each, everyone glowed white with power and extended to a sharp point. The horde of Bubble Frog Pokemon descended down as they all began to cut up the Mounting Pokemon. Gogoat held his ground as he let out a loud, but not painful roar.
"Push them away with Bulldoze!"
Gogoat lifted one hoof, and with a mighty slam of it, caused a tiny, but effective Earthquake. Every Frogadier was blown back as the clones poofed out of existence. The real water type rolled in front of his trainer, who looked worriedly at his starter.
"Are you okay, buddy?" Tyson questioned. He continued to look as Frogadier pushed himself up once more, sending a reassuring nod at his trainer. "Great! Blind Gogoat with Smokescreen!"
The Kalos Pokemon finished different hand signs and breathed in a lot of air. Focusing his aim, Frogadier spat out another large cloud of smoke. The huge cloud swallowed the grass type, who stood unfazed.
"Take out the cloud with Razor Leaf and then grab Frogadier with Vine Whip!"
Out from the cloud came several sharp green leaves. Frogadier ran across the wall dodging every leaf. Tyson, who saw what Frogadier was doing, threw his arm out.
"Block everyone with Cut!"
The water type stretched out an arm and reach forward. In between his hands was a sharp energy sword that the creator gripped in his hands. Spinning his new weapon in his hand, Frogadier reflected every incoming sharp leaf. Unknow to him, two slick vines came behind him and slapped his back. Frogadier dropped to the battlefield. Gogoat grabbed the water type once more and slammed him around before hanging the Pokemon in front of him.
"Now finish Frogadier with Seed Bomb!" Leon ordered aggressively.
The Mounting Pokemon smirked as he breathed in a large breath of air. Frogadier tried to struggle out of his bondage, but to no avail. Alexis put a hand over her mouth in sadness as Tyson growled. Gogoat reared his head back as his opponent hung his head in defeat. Suddenly, Frogadier felt power surging in his veins. The Bubble Frog picked up his head as Tyson followed pursuit. At the same time, their eyes shot open, with a slight silver shade in their pupils.
"Throw him into the air to smash him with Ice Punch!"
Frogadier grabbed the vines with his hands and threw him into the sky. Gogoat, who was caught off guard, stopped his charging his super effective move. Luckily for Frogadier, Gogoat had not released him from his vines, which made him fly faster after Gogoat. The Bubble Frog's extended fist had ice swirled around it as it clashed with Gogoat's stomach. The Mounting Pokemon collided with the ceiling as snowflakes fell down. Frogadier finished his attack and held the fainted Pokemon in his arms. Gogoat was gently placed on the battlefield, with the silver shade leaving the duo's eyes.
"Gogoat is unable to battle, Frogadier is the winner! Leon, choose your final Pokemon!"
Korrina's son withdrew Gogoat and crossed his arms.
"I wouldn't have thought I would be down to my last Pokemon," Tyson kept his composure and continued to pay attention to his cousin. "Now, it's time to turn up the heat! Combusken, Blaze on!"
Leon's starter landed on his long legs before getting into a battle stance. Frogadier started to breathe heavily, then stopped to copy his opponent.
"This will be battle between Frogadier and Combusken! Begin!"
"Start off with a Cut barrage!"
Frogadier reached his arms out into the air and grabbed two energy swords. Combusken scoffed as the Bubble Frog leaped towards him.
"Stop him with Double Kick!"
The Kalos Pokemon prepared to slam his two swords down on the dual type. However, Combusken kicked the water type's hands down to send another kick right in Frogadier's face. Frogadier flew up into the air as Leon had another smirk.
"Send a Fire Spin!"
Combusken reared his head back and shot it forward. As the Young Fowl pushed his head up, a spaces out twister of fire flew into the sky.
"Descend with Water Pulse!"
As Frogadier was in the air, he charged up another small water orb in his hand. The Bubble Frog regained his focus and flew down through the fire tornado. Combusken moved out the way in time to see Tyson's starter hit the space in front of him. Leon, who was preparing to attack again, eyes shot wide to see Combusken's feet glued by frubbles.
"Hit Combusken with Ice Punch!"
Combusken couldn't prepare himself for Frogadier's ice coated fist. The Hoenn Pokemon was knocked off the frubbles and slid back to his trainer. Combusken wiped his face and growled, with the latter being copied by his trainer.
"Hit him with Flame Charge!"
The Young Fowl Pokemon gained a suit of fire before running forward. Frogadier prepared to block the attack, but stopped once he heard Tyson's next command.
"Dodge with Double Team!"
At the last second, Combusken destroyed a clone. He looked around to see a horde of Frogadiers all around him. Tyson pumped his fist in happiness until he saw his cousin chuckle.
"Hit all of them with Flame Charge again!"
Once more, Combusken gained an armor of fire and dashed around the field. Nobody could track the running chicken as the clones poffed out. Frogadier tried to find his opponent, but was startled once he saw Combusken appear right in front of him. The dual type slammed into Frogadier again as the water type flew back towards his trainer.
"Now burn him with Flamethrower!"
The Hoenn Pokemon squaked as fire began to form around his beak. All in one motion, Combusken shot the stream of red and orange flames towards Frogadier. Once Frogadier snapped out of his daze, he had a frightened expression on his round face.
"Block it with a frubble shield!"
Acting fast, Frogadier landed back on the battlefield. He snatched large pieces of frubbles from his scarf and molded it into a large circle. Putting his protection in front of him, Frogadier was able to withstand the harsh flames. From Combusken's strength, the shield began to melt. The Bubble Frog couldn't move out the way as the fire swallowed him whole. Frogadier's eyes were dazed as he fell on the ground.
"Frogadier is unable to battle, the winner is Combusken! Tyson, choose your final Pokemon!"
Tyson smiled as he returned his starter back to his capsule. He then grabbed his fourth and tossed it into the air. Out from the capsule came Riolu, who looked at his opponents. The Emanation Pokemon bowed to his foes, to only get a scoff out of them. The fighting type growled as he got back into a karate stance.
"This will be a battle between Riolu and Combusken! The winner of this battle will decide the match! Begin!"
"Fly in with Mega Kick!"
Combusken lifted his foot, which glowed a light blue color. The Young Fowl Pokemon ran forward once more, faster than last time.
"Stop him with Force Palm!"
Riolu waited patiently for his opponent to come forward as he extended a hand. In a second, Combusken prepared to slam his foot down on the tyke. However, Riolu jumped out the way and pushed Combusken's foot down. The single type then jumped into the air as his trainer bellowed another order.
"Riolu, Blaze Kick!"
Riolu completed consecutive flips before he descended down, foot engulfed in flames. The tyke smashed his foot on Combusken's stomach, which made the dual type squaked in pain.
"Keep Riolu in place and hit him with Peck!"
Combusken grabbed Riolu with his long arms. Riolu tried to get out of the Young Fowl's bind to see Combusken's beak glow. The beak grew to a sharp point as Riolu was repeatedly bombarded by it. Combusken threw Riolu off him and wiped the diet off his chest.
"Get revenge with Quick Attack!"
Riolu picked himself up and dashed forward. The Emanation Pokemon appeared in front of the dual type and prepared to hit him.
"Shoot him away with Double Kick!"
Combusken kicked Riolu away with one foot to only leap into the air. Riolu regained focus to feel another sharp pain on his back. The tiny Pokemon grunted as he looked up at Combusken, who pinned him down.
"Spin and then attack with Aura Sphere!"
The Emanation Pokemon pushed the ground with his hands and twirled in place. Combusken couldn't keep his balance and had to jump off. Riolu then ran towards the taller Pokemon with an energy sphere. Combusken was then hit by the powerful fighting attack and flew into a wall.
"Get them back with a Fire Spin!"
The Young Fowl Pokemon leaped off the wall and hovered in the air for a few. Combusken spun his neck in a circle before he spat a twister of red and orange flames. Riolu was blinded by the harsh flames as he began to see he was trapped by the flames. In his mind, the tyke saw flashes of flames and fleeing people. He mostly saw a silver haired girl, shooing him away.
"Not again," Riolu whispered, tears in his eyes. "Not again, not again, not again!" He cried, falling to the ground.
"End this battle with Flamethrower!" Leon barked, wanting to finish the battle.
Combusken shot his head down as another wave of harsh flames shot down. Riolu looked around and stopped at Tyson, who had a scared expression. The tiny Pokemon picked himself up and balled his hands. He looked up at the flames as he glowed a light blue aura. The Flamethrower swallowed Riolu as he still glowed inside of it. All the flames flew around the battlefield as a new Pokemon stood in the center.
"Riolu evolved!" Alexis cheered, jumping from her seat.
"Phss, now this battle is easier! Combusken, Double Kick!"
Combusken ran forward once more towards Lucario. The Young Fowl Pokemon jumped in the air once more to smash the Aura Pokemon. Lucario pressed his metal spikes together and let out a roar. The lots scream reached Combusken as he stopped his attack to hold his ears.
"Let's test some of your new moves, Lucario! Use Power-Up Punch!"
Lucario pivoted his body before dashing forward. Combusken took his claws off his ears to see Lucario's fist in his sight. The Aura Pokemon smashed his glowing fist in Combusken's face and was sent into a wall.
"That means nothing!" Leon declared, his face flushed with anger. "Flamethrower!"
Combusken spat out another breath of fire towards Lucario. Tyson grinned as he pointed his finger towards the flames.
"Break through the flames with Aura Sphere!"
The newly evolved Pokemon charged another blue ball between his hands. Lucario chucked the sphere at the stream of flames, which ran through it. Combusken jumped out the way of the sphere and eyed Lucario. The Aura Pokemon radiated with new power that left him speechless.
"Snap out of it and hit Lucario with Flame Charge!"
Combusken had flames cover his body as he flew forward once more. Tyson scrolled through his Pokedex and looked up with a smile on his face.
"Stop him with Bone Rush!"
The Aura Pokemon reached out for a glowing blue bone and twirled it in his paw. Combusken prepared to hit his opponent until he was stopped by a swift hit to the calf. The Young Fowl Pokemon was off the ground for a few seconds when he saw Lucario's bone smash his stomach. A huge dent was left in the battlefield as Lucario leaped off. Combusken laid out on the battlefield, unconscious.
"Combusken is unable to battle, the victor is Lucario! That means Tyson wins the battle!"
The winner hugged his Pokemon but stopped once he hit Lucario's metal point. Lucario nodded at his trainer and turned to see Leon walk forward with Combusken.
"This is my first loss," Leon said, looking at his cousin with a smile. "And my last to you and anyone else!" Tyson nodded and the cousins fist bumped.
Combusken extended his claw to Lucario, who happily accepted. Korrina and Gurkinn separated themselves and watched the group talk to the battlers.
"I think those three are ready," Korrina stated, to which Gurkinn nodded.
"Let's call him," the older man replied, walking away with his granddaughter.
So, that's over now! Tyson and Leon battled with the earlier claiming victory. Also, Riolu evolved in the process.
1) Favorite matchup?

3) Lucario thoughts?
