Pokemon World Tournament
Ch 2 The Truth
A/N in this chapter some things about Zeke's past will be revealed along with his rival. I also do not own pokemon. So lets get this party started in 3... 2... 1
"His name is Magnus Caliber….. He and I had a small run in on my travels and I made a pact that we would meet and fight in this tournament." Zeke said with a determined look on his face.
"I will get you signed up for the tournament, I assume you don't know all the rules and protocols." Oak said with a series grin on his face. "I will go through them with you and an old acutance of mine when he gets here. He called form Viridian city yesterday and said that he should get here soon."
Zane finally decided it was time to loosen up and said " I guess that works, we can use the time we have before he gets here to catch up with each other."
"Sounds good to me Zeke, what have you been doing since you left Pallet Town all those years ago." Oak Asked with great interest.
"As you know I started my journey in Kanto eight years ago, and worked my way to the Kanto League. You also know that I did the same in Hoen after that. After my travels in Hoen I decided to go through Kanto once again for fun. After that I moved on to Unova and then to Johto, that's What you know up until these past three years." Upon saying that Zeke stoped to think for a moment. "What I am about to tell you is information not many people know about me. For three years I secluded myself to a small island called Zexek. This island is full of powerful pokemon that I used to train myself and my pokemon up to what I believe to be our full potential. Last week I started the trip back to Kanto and here I am."
"Interesting I don't believe I know of the Island of Zexek, perhaps you can show me there sometime." Oak said with wonder, he one of the best pokemon researchers in the world had never heard of this secluded island.
"Maybe after we get the tournament out of the way. So who is this person you are waiting for?" Asked Zeke
"An old friend of yours and someone I would like to see you battle." Was all Oak would say.

After a few hours of talking to one another Prof. Oak heard a knock on the door. Zeke was still sitting in his same spot when Oak and his new guest entered the room.
"Who is this Prof. Oak?" asked the new arrival puzzled.
"This young man is named Zeke Stone, and you two have already met Ash." Prof. Oak said with a jolly laugh.
"Ash Its been a wile since our last meeting." Zeke said to Ash with a smile.
"To tell you the truth I still have know idea who you are…" Ash said with a hint of confusion.
" Let me give you a a few hints; We grew up together, I started my journey two years before you, and I have a vicious appetite for pie." Zeke said with a grin and a laugh at the last part.
"Ok there is only one person I know that fits that description and that's Ezekiel, I don't know anyone by the name of Zeke." Ash apparently was still clueless.
"Zeke is short For Ezekiel you idiot." Zeke said with a little anger in his voice.
"OH…. I see now. How have you been." Ash said finally getting it.
"I'm doing good, and I have one thing to say to you right now. I challenge you to a battle." Zeke said with a confident grin on his face.
\::/
After Ash accepted the challenge they moved out to the back of the lab with Prof. Oak as the Referee.
"Before we begin I want to explain the rules; This is a six on six battle, substitutions are allowed, and you are allowed to use any pokemon that you own in this lab, you now have fifteen minutes to get your pokemon together and get back here," Prof. Oak explained.
"If you don't mind Prof. Oak there is one pokemon here that I would like to use that you are unaware of. Do you remember the pokeball I sent to you just before I left to go train?" Zeke asked.
After a little bit of thought Oak answered, "Ah yes if I am remembering correctly you asked me not to let it out of the pokeball under any circumstances."
"That's the one if you don't mind I would like to show it to you in this battle," Zeke said with a mischievous grin.
\:::/
After oak the pokeball and Ash had his team set up the battle had begun. Zeke decided to let Ash have the first move.
"Ok then, I choose you Sceptile. Lets make this quick." Ash said confidently.
"Big mistake, Come on out Flareon, Use Fire fang!" Zeke called out. The move caught Sceptile by surprise and Flareon got him in the arm.
"Shake it of Sceptile and use solar beam," Ash yelled out to his slightly singer pokemon.
"Dodge it and use flame charge. Lets see how you like that." After getting hit with Flareon's Flame charge Sceptile promptly fainted.
"Crap, Sceptile return, Go Kingler, and use water gun." Finally scoring a hit on Zeke's Flareon Ash was starting to get exited and pumped.
Zeke who was backed into a corner with this one quickly returned his pokemon, and then with a mischievous grin, "Go Typhlosion and use shadow claw."
"Counter it with Crab Hammer Kingler." Ash was successful with countering Zeke's Typhlosion's attack but with an unexpected result.
In a Flash of light and blue orbs Zeke's Typhlosion Transformed back into his original form: Zoroark, "I See your surprised, don't be its just My Zoroark's Ability illusion, Zoroark use Shadow Ball,"
The move hit Kingler square in the face and stunned him. "let me tell you Zeke I was not expecting that to happen." Ash said.
"I know I wanted a six on six battle but I have a request, one last match to end this, you use your Pikachu and I use my surprise pokemon, Is that ok with you." Zeke said secretly planning something.
" It's ok with me, Kingler return, lets show this guy who's boss Pikachu." Ash said.
"Zoroark return, Come forth my special pokemon, Pichu," Zeke said as he sent out his Pichu.
After a moment of observation Oak observed, "Is my eyesight failing me or does that Pichu have an odd ear?"
"That is correct Prof. she is also a lot more powerful than most Pichus." Zeke said and as if wanting to prove what he said was true his Pichu used Volt tackle.
" Pikachu Try to counter it with a volt tackle of your own." Ash said hoping to win out in power.
The two pokemon collided and there was an explosion. When the smoke cleared both trainers where stunned to see both their pokemon fainted. "According to the verbal agreement between both trainers this battle is a draw." Oak said still amazed at the appearance of the Pichu.
