ASH'S POV
After I blasted the three perverts off, I began to walk towards the Cerulean Gym to register for the tournament. Eventually, I saw a girl with orange hair tied in a ponytail, with green eyes and fair skin wearing a yellow sleeveless vest with dark blue button, a dark blue collar, red swimsuit, yellow shorts and orange shoes. She was standing with some guys with a frown plastered over her face.
I walked up to her, wearing the same disguise as before when I went to Brock's and walked up to the counter, "I'd like to register for the tournament if that's possible."
Misty raised her eyebrow: "What do you want if you win huh?"
I decided to have some fun while I'm here and tease Misty a bit. "You would do, I guess."
One of the unknown boys spoke up, "Another one in my category I see."
I snapped back. "I am not in your category, kid."
"You can call me John actually." The guy replied coolly.
"Whoever you may be, but remember I am not gonna lose to perverts like you." Misty rolled her eyes.
Ash laughed out, "We'll see, won't we?"
Misty: "Ok, just register and leave me alone."
John: "What's your name and which Pokémon are you entering with?"
Ash: "Ummm, the name's Aaron Genn and I am entering with my Greninja.
Greninja: "Ja, Greninja" (We will win it together)
Ash: "See you later, Misty."
It was fun teasing Misty for once as she was the one who usually teased me during our journey. She was quite pretty as well so I understood why guys were trying to get her even if their approach was laughable at best.
Ash: "Greninja, we have to win this for Misty kay. We can't afford to see one of our friends in trouble so, let's go all out for this."
Greninja nodded, "Gren gren."
Normal POV
Ash continued to train for next few hours with Greninja for the tournament while he kept Pikachu well rested at the Pokémon center until he'd collect them before the tournament.
Meanwhile…
Misty: "There are a bunch of perverts here so we have to win this, Gyarados. That Greninja looks tough though but let's give it our best for our gym and our pride as aspiring water Pokémon masters."
3 hours later at the Cerulean Gym.
Commentator: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a WPBT held here at the Cerulean gym. The stakes are high as this will decide your future Cerulean Gym leader. Now, let's see the rules and the match board, this will be a 1 on 1 water Pokémon battle tournament. We have 32 competitor competing here, let's see the screen to see who is going to battle whom."
Aaron vs Sam...
Misty vs Letter...
John vs Sid...
Jake vs Arisha...
And many more...
Round 1
WPBT has started with some matches of Round 1 already finished.
Commentator: "Our next match is the mysterious Aaron Genn vs Sam, who will win this battle?"
Referee: "This will be one on one Pokémon battle. So trainers, let's begin."
Ash: "Greninja, I choose you!"
Sam: "Let's crush them Tentacruel!"
Referee: "Let the battle begin."
Ash: "Greninja, use Cut."
Sam: "Dodge it, then use Poison Sting."
Ash: "Use Water Shuriken on Poison Sting stink Greninja." The Water Shuriken and
Poison Sting collided forming a dust cloud that enveloped the battle field.
Ash shouted, "Now's our chance, Greninja use Double Team and then get in close with Aerial Ace!"
Sam: "Oh, no! Tentacruel, use Water Gun to remove the smoke and false copies quickly." Tentacruel used Water Gun to remove the smoke and false copies, eliminating every single copy but Greninja was nowhere to be seen.
Sam: "Huh...Where is the real Greninja?"
Ash smirked, "Now Greninja! Let's end this fun." Greninja appeared behind Tentacruel and with glowing fists and feet went in for the kill.
Sam panicked, "Tentacruel , behind you!"
Before Tentacruel could even turn, the frog like Pokémon released a barrage of punches and kicks which left the opponent's Pokémon ready to keel over.
Sam: "Try to use Poison Jab on Greninja, Tentacruel."
Ash: "Greninja, dodge it and go in with Cut again."
Sam: "Oh no you don't, use surf and hit Greninja."
Ash: "Oh no, I wasn't expecting him to have a move like that. Greninja forget about Cut and jump in the air and use Double Team again!"
Commentator: What a spectacular battle with so many strategies. What will Aaron do to end this match or will Sam manage to pull out a win?"
Ash: Ok Greninja, use Water Shuriken barrage to cancel the Surf."
Sam: "Foolish boy, that won't stop my Tentacruel's Surf."
Ash shot back, "You obviously don't know my Greninja then! Now Greninja finish this joke with Cut!" Sam's eyes opened wide in shock when the Water Shurikens canceled out the Surf and Greninja burst past it and used Cut straight across Tentacrule's chest.
Greninja: "Jaaa" (It's over)
After Cut hit its target, a small cloud of dust formed over Tentacruel and Greninja walked back to Ash while his blade disappeared.
Commentator: "What is going on? Greninja is leaving the battlefield before the match even ended, is he quitting?"
The cloud dispersed and Tentacruel was found with swirly eyes, knocked out from the final blow.
Referee raised his hand and pointed it to Ash: "Tentacruel is unable to battle and the victory goes to Aaron Genn."
Commentator: "Greninja knew the outcome before we all did! Absolutely incredible battle by these two trainers."
After that John and Jake also won their battle and Misty was in the middle of her battle with Ketter which closed off round 1. Ketter's Dewott had already taken several damage and was reeling already. The outcome was all but obvious by now.
Misty: "Let's finish this Gyarados, Incinerate!!" The move collided with Dewott which cause it to faint.
Referee: "Dewott is unable to battle and Misty wins the match and advances to the round of 16."
Commentator: "First round is over and 16 trainers move to round 2. Second round will take place after a couple hours rest. Trainers heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center and goodbye till then."
The first round is over and Misty, Ash, Jake and John with 12 others proceeded in the tournament.
Misty: "16 perverts gone and 15 left. I will crush them all and then no one would lay their eyes on either me or my gym."
Ash internally said, 'I will win this for Misty and surprise her by putting my wish forward. I can't wait for this and to see the look on her face.'
John and Jake smirked and said, "We will win this and we will take over the gym or we will have fun with Misty."
Three hours later
The second round was about to start. The trainers collected their Pokémon from the Pokémon Center and prepared themselves for another set of battles.
Commentator: "It's time for the second round and we are one step closer towards the winner. Now let's see the matchups."
The board had names spinning randomly before finally settling next to each other and the battles were shown:
Aaron vs Akira
Misty vs Ichigo
John vs Hikari
Haruhi vs Sakura
Jake vs James
Adam vs Abraham
Alfred vs Blake
Alvin vs Roshaan.
"Our first matchup is between Aaron Genn vs Akira! Let's hope for another powerhouse battle." Shouted the commentator. The fans responded to this by cheering loudly.
Referee: "Send out your Pokémon."
Akira: "Blastoise, come on out."
Ash: "Let's go, Greninja!"
Referee: "Battle begin."
After some time….
Commentator: "Both Blastoise and Greninja are badly injured. What will their trainers do? Who will pull through and win the match?"
Akira: "Blastoise Hydro Pump on Greninja."
Ash: "Greninja, cut through the Hydro Pump and then use Water Shuriken." Greninja cut through the Hydro Pump which surprised Akira then shot multiple Water Shuriken causing Blastoise to fall on its knees.
Akira shouted, "Hang on Blastoise. Let's finish this with Hydro Canon!"
Ash: "Dodge it Greninja, use Double team."
Akira: "Don't let it dodge that. Use Hydro Canon in all directions and block his attempt to dodge."
Blastoise fired multiple Hydro Canons making it impossible to dodge.
Ash panicked internally but then tried to compose himself quickly. 'Oh no, Greninja can't dodge it. What should I do? That's it! I pray this works.'
"Greninja use all your power and make a Water Shuriken to shield the Hydro Canon from hitting you!" Greninja's copies all made Shurikens and then were absorbed by the original Greninja to form a Water Shuriken three times the size of the usual ones. Greninja then used it to block the powerful blast from hitting him which made the crowd go wild from excitement and Akira could only look on in awe.
Ash: "Alright Greninja, now throw it at Blastoise and finish it with Aerial Ace."
Greninja launched it at Blastoise then appeared right in front of it with a swift kick to it's face causing it to faint instantly.
Referee: "Blastoise is unable to battle and the winner is Aaron Genn."
Commentator: "They did it folks! WHAT A BATTLE! Let's give them a big round of applause."
Misty: "That Aaron sure is strong, I'll have to give my all against him if we meet."
Commentator: "The next battle is Misty vs Ichigo."
After 5 minutes of battle, it seemed that Misty was playing with her opponent and his Palpitoad.
Misty: "The fun is over now sadly, Gyarados, Hyper Beam please."
Ichigo: "Palpitoad, dodge it." Palpitoad dodged the attack making Gyarados vulnerable to the next move.
Ichigo: "Now, use Ice Beam." Ice Beam collided with Gyrados making it to freeze.
Misty: "Enough playing around! Gyarados, use Dragon Tail to break the ice and catch Palpitoad." Gyarados used Dragon Tail and shattered the ice into million pieces and then grabbed Palpitoad.
Ichigo: "Break through that grip and use Focus Punch."
Misty: "Hang on Gyarados and use Hyper Beam."
Ichigo: "Oh no, Palpitoad!" Palpitoad tried to break through but in vain. After that, the Hyper Beam collided with Palpitoad causing it to faint.
Referee: "Palpitoad is unable to battle, Misty wins."
Ash: "Misty sure has become strong. It will fun when I will present her with my offer when I will win."
John and Jake also won their matches with their Tentacruel.
Commentator: "Trainers who will go to next round are, Aaron, Misty, John, Haruhi, Jake, Abraham, Blake and Roshaan! Now the matchups for next round are as follows."
John vs Haruhi
Blake vs Roshaan
Misty vs Abraham
Aaron vs Jake
"The matches will start after an hour. Trainers heal your Pokémon for today's last round because we have semifinal and finals tomorrow."
Misty: "Abraham, so he is next. No problem, 24 gone and 7 left. I will show them what we are made of, right Gyarados."
Gyarados: "Grrr..." (No one would beat us Misty)
The trainers went to the Pokémon Center to heal their Pokémon.
Misty: "Please take care of my Gyarados Nurse Joy."
Joy: "Sure Misty, just make sure you teach them all a lesson."
Misty: "Sure, Nurse Joy, that's exactly what I will do!"
