Well, this will be fun. I can finally write a battle scene in Pokemon. I have to make fights more often. This will be good.

Chapter 4: Battle
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail"
"Countershield using Gyro Ball"
Ash had awoken earlier that morning in the Pokeworld. He followed his routine of breakfast, spend time at the ranch and train. The teen decided to go visit his kantonian friends to spend the day.
He went to Pewter City and found Brock, who is taking a day off from his job as a Pokemon Doctor. Ash challenged him to a 2v2 single battle on a rock field on the outskirts of the city for old times sake.
Brock's Geodude had evolved into a Graveler sometime while he was in Unova. It also a lot stronger than he remembered because it left a sizeable crater in the ground, no moves involved.
At this very moment, Pikachu's metallized tail and Graveler's countershield connected. Both were flung back from the forces of each other's attack and landed on their feet.
"Pikaaa"
"Grav"
Ash hmmped as he thought of battle strategies in mere seconds. He looked at the Doctor when he began speaking up.
"I'm impressed Ash, even against a disadvantage you're still going strong. Its a wonder people are lost to you when you played them."
"Its not really my fault most of them become overconfident when I do that."
"Ash, you're own ignorance and luck won many battles. Still, I'm surprised it didn't kick in on your Kalos league.
"That Charizard had experience dealing with powered up foes. Let's just battle, Pikachu, Iron Tail Quake"
Pikachu dashed forward towards Graveler and jumped into the air, already using Iron Tail. But, the pokemon purposely missed the moving rock and struck the ground near it. Causing a magnitude level 7 that shook the area. Graveler unfortunately fell over due to the vibrations.
"Graveler, use Rollout!"
"Graaav" the living boulder tucked its arms in as it began rolling towards Pikachu. Picking up speed as it moved.
"Dodge with Quick Attack and counter with Iron Tail."
The electric mouse wasted no time following his trainer's orders. A blue aura shone as Pikachu sped up considerably to dodge the moving mass of mobile rock. Said rock tilted to the side to turn and hit the Pokemon again.
Pikachu readied to counter Graveler with the metalization of his tail. The two Pokemon attacks clashed with steel winning over rock. Graveler was hurled backwards with the force equal to its own attack and landed kicking a cloud of debris into the air.
When the impromptu smokescreen faded, Graveler was unconscious, making Ash the winner of the first round. Brock smiled as Ash's skill in battling is still in excellent shape. The doctor grabbed a Pokeball and returned the living boulder.
"Good work on beating Graveler Ash." he said pulling out a Greatball. "But I hope you're ready for something I caught a few months ago. Golem, time to battle!"
The ex-gym leader threw the ball and out came a strange looking Golem. Like the normal Golem, its main body is composed of a hard clutter of rocks shaped into a sphere acting as armor. Its legs and two stubby arms sticking out of its holes but the similarities end there.
The rock armor has a protrusion on its back reminiscent of a railgun filled with some black rocks. It also has eyebrows and a beard which surprised Ash.
"A Golem, why is it different?" The trainer asked.
"I don't know where the trader got it, just that its from a tropical region and that its incredibly useful." the doctor replied.
"Must be a special kind." Ash mused. "Any details Brock?"
"Golem is a Rock and Electric type! Use Rock Polish and then Rock Blast."
"Dodge the attack Pikachu!"
The living boulder glowed blue indicating that it's speed has increased. However instead of making rocks appear from the ground, the pokemon bent over and shot something from Golem's back. A black slab shaped like a rough sphere soared through the air.
Pikachu was caught off guard by the speed and power of the projectile and was hit directly by it. His pride wounded by the charged boulder striking him and just about from the match. The Pokemon landed near his trainer nearly fainted from exhaustion.
"Pikachu!" Ash rushed to his starter with worry laced in his voice. He bent down and picked up the mouse. "Are you okay?"
"Pika~" a soft cry from Pikachu showed that he is still okay but unable to fight.
"Get some rest buddy." Ash said as he brought his partner back onto the ground near him. He then rummaged through his pockets as he pulled out a shrunken pokeball. Tapping lightly on the button caused the container to enlarge into its proper size.
"Ivysaur, I choose you!" With his signature battle cry, he threw the pokeball and a burst of energy was released. The energy shaped itself and Ivysaur materialized, ready for battle.
One of the Pokemon that decided to evolve while Ash was away, the Pokemon decided to overuse Growth and in the process, accidently evolve. Ivysaur didn't regret it though as he could appreciate being in balance compared to it's heavy evolution and weaker predecessor.
"Seed Bomb and Leech Seed in that order!" Ash commanded.
"I-vy-saur!" His Pokemon cried as he launched seeds filled with either vines or explosives towards Golem. The flower on Ivysaur's back was busy acting as a makeshift artillery.
"Counter with Rock Throw!" Golem hunched itself again and fired a shot from it's back. However instead of a cannon blast it was a shotgun effect as a cluster of small rocks spread out to attack the opposing type.
Grass won out as it had an explosive effect that cleared out the rocks faster and allowed the remaining shots to hit. The seeds landed as Golem began to feel it's energy draining while glowing green.
"Using Seed Bomb cover your other attack, now that's something you would do." Brock commented. "Use Discharge!"
"Strike back with Vine Whip"
Ivysaur roared as it charged forward with several vines glowing green, ready to attack. Golem growled as it crackled with static as it gathered volts. The living plant struck first and lashed out with it's vines at it's opponent. Afterwards, the static boulder discharged and electrocuted it's enemy.
An explosion occurred as the energy of both attacks reacted to each other. A cloud of smoke covered the battleground. Neither of Pokemon were seen, allowing for a bit of breathing room.
"Discharge again!" Apparently, no one told Brock that. A habit picked up from Ash.
A yellow light glowed before the sound of static, thunder and a cry of 'Ivy!' shook the area. The smoke cleared faster and both Pokemon seen just meters away from each other. Ivysaur was being covered in static while Golem grunted in pain as its energy being drained.
"Discharge managed to paralyze Ivysaur." Ash muttered. "Use Magical Leaf in bulk!"
Ivysaur launched half a dozen leaves before the paralysis took affect. The rainbow colored leaves moved like boomerangs as they honed onto their target.
"Defend with Rock Blast!" Brock said with a bit of panic. His Pokemon once again used it's back cannon to defend itself. Sadly Rock Blast only fired twice and allowed 4 magic leaves to get by and hit Golem.
"Finish with Seed Bomb!"
"End it with Rock Cannon!"
Seeds spewed towards Golem and exploded. The Megaton Pokemon shot a large, charged rock from it's back in retaliation. Both attacks struck their target and caused a nice, large explosion on both of them that kicked up the dust, forcing Ash to cover his eyes. Brock stepped back and looked away.
When the battlefield cleared. Both Pokemon were heavily damaged but still standing. Ivysaur and Golem stood on opposite ends of the area, waiting until the other succumbs to their wounds. Unfortunately, Leech Seed is still in effect.
"Damn, I lost." Brock said as he walked over to his Pokemon. He took out a pokeball and returned Golem. "At least I managed to do what I wanted to do."
"What's that?" Ash asked as he stepped closer, carrying Pikachu in his arm. His free hand is inside his pocket as he pulled out a small yellow shard.
"Beating your legendary slaying Pikachu with one move."
"You used Rock Polish first, so that's two moves. Also what was that? The Golem wasn't really normal." Ash fed the crystal to Pikachu who woke up from his nice nap.
"One attacking move, so it counts. Did you mean the cannon that Golem stole from a Blastoise?" Brock tossed the pokeball into the air and caught it.
"No, I talking about the eyebrows and the beard. Of course I meant the cannon." Ash spoke.
"My Golem is a regional variant of the same Pokemon. Something about magnetic poles there alongside an abundance of magnetic materials making their secondary type electric instead of ground." Brock explained while Pikachu glared at the pokeball containing the Golem.
The two trainers parted ways after a nice chat and some lunch cooked by Brock. They left Pewter city and began walking straight back to Pallet town. Ash was looking at something in his Pokedex while Pikachu slept in Ash's bag.
The Pokedex was currently showing the global news of Ash's choice. A sudden resurgence in activity between Aqua, Magma and a new team called Zenith in Hoenn. Ash's Unova companion, Iris Dresden is currently acting Champion in her home Region. Serena's contest performance and a bunch of other news.
"Hey Pikachu, there's an announcement to all trainers that a Mega Stone is in Cameron. Think we should go there tomorrow?"
"Pikaa…" the mouse sounded as it went back to sleep.
"Yeah, we'll go. Maybe we could visit the tree again. Wonder what mom's making for dinner." The teen was busy murmuring to himself and reading his Pokedex that he didn't notice the obvious net trap laying on the ground.
"Maybe we could go to Sinnoh, sure it's cold this time of year but the Garchompite is being hidden in Mt. Coronet. Gabite is going to evolve soon and I-." The teen was cut of when he stepped on the net, allowing him to get caught. Two humans and one Pokemon came out from the bushes, wearing black uniforms with a big, red R on the front
For our sake, I will not put that stupid intro. I got sick of it after the 10th season.
Ash growled in annoyance as he struggled in the net. "Team Rocket?! I swear, you're being desperate if you're still trying to get my Pokemon."
"Screw that." Meowth said with a smirk. "We're not interested in taking your Pokemon this time twerp. We just need you out of our way."
James dropped a small, silver disc with a blue node in the center on the ground. It landed with a plop and expanded in size slightly. "This device should disable any Pokeball within 10 meters. The net is electric proof and just to be safe, Jessie." He emphasized the name as he turned to his partner
Jessie then walked up to the net holding a syringe and stabbed Pikachu with it. Pikachu squealed as the feeling of his body numbed and fell unconscious. Ash's eyes blazed with fury at the act. "What did you do?!"
Jessie laughed at the teen's predicament. "A knockout serum to ensure that you can't interfere with our objective. C'mon boys, we're wasting enough time as it is on the twerp."
Meowth and James nodded as they walked away with Jessie towards Viridian. Ash wriggled in the net as soon as they're out if site. He took out a swiss army knife from his pocket and tried to cut the ropes. The teen was so focused on the trap that he didn't see two shadows above him.
Gary Oak of the Pokeverse was currently waiting outside of the local Pokemart. He tapped his pendant which contained an odd stone out of boredom. The teen is on an errand for his grandpa. A package that contained and experimental prototype of some kind of invention made by the professors of nearly every region.
He sighed. "This sucks, whatever's in this package has to be important if he wants me to deliver it instead of his aides.". The teen fiddled with a pokeball containing his starter. "I need some action today, Ash doesn't count. That danger magnet may as well bring Team Rocket on our heads."
As soon as he said that, a group of Pokemon were out causing havoc in the streets. Officer Jenny is busy evacuating the civilians. Several beginning trainers were sending out their Pokemon against the aggressors.
'Dammit, those are the Rocket Trio's Pokemon, those kids have no chance.' He saw starters falling to the injuries from their superior opponents. Gary saw two figures clad in Rocket uniforms headed his way. They stopped as soon as they saw him.
"Well, well, well it's one of the Twerp's friends." Jessie said as she released Gourgeist.
"The grandson of the Professor Oak. He's no slouch that's for sure." Meowth spoke his mind as he snapped his fingers causing coins to appear.
"We can take him, they say he hasn't been battling a lot recently." Carnivine was released as James talked.
"You're not going anywhere" Gary yelled. "Not if I have to say anything about it."
"Make it both of us." A new female voice joined the fray. The girl had a blue top, a red skirt and a white sunhat.
"Leaf?!" Gary murmured in shock. The girl he had a crush on was supposed to be in Johto.
"Nice to see you again Gare-bare." Leaf greeted. "We can talk later as soon as these bozos are gone." She said as she pointed at the trio.
"Who are you calling bozos!" Meowth screeched.
"These little duds, unless they have the spine to back it up." Leaf shot back.
"You're on twerpete! Gourgeist, use Energy Ball!" Jessie ordered.
"Gourgeist!" a green ball of nature energy was formed in front of the ghost pumpkin. The Pokemon then shot it at the girl who realized what's about to happen.
Gary who figured it out faster threw his pokeball in front of his crush. "Blastoise, use Withdraw!"
The pokeball opened and the energy within formed the shell of a big turtle, the hard portion of it protecting against Energy Ball. An explosion occurred and smoke covered the area.
Meowth pulled out some kind of vacuum device out of nowhere and activated it. The residue of the attack began to move towards the vacuum and disappear. When the smoke vanished, the trio saw Gary's Blastoise and Leaf's Venusaur itching to battle.
Team Rocket pulled out two more pokeball and released Yanmega and Inkay. Meowth pulled out some kind of blaster of of nowhere again and filled it with coins. A 5v2 battle unfolded and caused carnage, without Ash.
I'm going to end that here and post the battle next chapter. Now that I'm on vacation, expect an influx of chapters for this story and others. I'm sure I said it before somewhere so I'll say it again. This is an AU that follows canon loosely. Things will happen and others will be mentioned but the Sun and Moon section will happen, differently.
Read, review and follows if I'm lucky.
