Chapter 12: The Final Hero

"Hey so how about we practice the 2 moves you say you can use Daichi." Shadow said seeming a lot more cheerful than usual.

"Hey shadow you alright man" Blade asked nervously

"Yeah of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be?" Shadow asked seeming confused

"It's just I've never seen you this happy before man so I figured either you bashed your head on something or your not Shadow" Blade laughed nervously.

"Yeah well I suppose I should thank Daichi, something about him just doesn't let me feel so dark anymore" Shadow said "So what do you say Daichi want to practice those moves?"

"Only if Akata says its ok" Daichi said with a smile

"Is it alright with you Akata?" Shadow asked

"Yeah since he's our final hero we'll need him to be at his strongest for the final battle right?" Akata answered with a grin.

"Yeah, alright Daichi time to begin your training!" Blade said.

"Well let's see … you'll go up against Daisuke" Shadow said "Is that alright with you Daisuke?"

"Sure I could use a tough fight!" Daisuke said.

"Alright Daisuke bring it on!" Daichi yelled and the both went at each other with tackle and got knocked back from the force of the collision. Daichi used skull bash and scored a direct hit on Daisuke. Daisuke tried to catch his breath and used Shadow Ball but Daichi evaded it. Daisuke let loose 5 shadow balls and used wish while Daichi was distracted. Daichi took a direct hit from the last shadow ball and went flying back. Daisuke and Daichi were getting stronger by the minute. Daisuke used Shadow Ball and hit it with an iron tail and once again got Daichi. Daichi got on his feet and used a synthesis. He then used Leaf storm to distract Daisuke while he charged up his solar beam. Daisuke was struck by the leaf storm which got a critical hit on him and before he could recover Daichi had unleashed the solar beam and that was enough to knock him out.

"Ack that hurt" Daisuke said in a daze "That is one powerful solar beam"

"Heh heh" Daichi grinned "Sorry Daisuke guess I don't know my own strength"

"You sure are strong kid" Kazuya said.

"Of course he's strong, he's the final hero" Blade said

"Uhm Hero of what" Daichi asked

"Oh right, we never told you" Blade laughed and scratched the back of his head. "Your one of five Legendary Heroes that will help save the world from darkness"

"COOL!!" Daichi yelled "But how am I going to help? I'm just a baby Bulbasaur"

"You'll get stronger Daichi, don't worry about that" Shadow said, as he finished his sentence a large Pokemon burst out of the ground.
