Hey, Guys! Sorry for not uploading. I've been busy with life and stuff. To make up for it, I'm doing a double upload! Hope you enjoy!
Jethro was training his Pokémon today. His compassion for Pokémon was so strong that he already had 6 Pokémon, and he had only been a trainer for a month and a half. He and his Pokémon were formidable opponents. They were quite strong and in a week his town was going to host a local tournament for Pokémon battles. He was feeling pretty confident about he and his Pokémon's skills. He was currently battling a youngster that had challenged him to a battle.
"All right Gallade use Psycho Cut!"
Jethro's white and purple Pokémon threw blades of psychic energy at the opponent Haunter. The ghost type Pokémon flinched.
"Good job, Gallade. The King's Rock is working!" Jethro exclaimed to his Pokémon.
"Haunter use Shadow Ball!" The youngster said to his Haunter.
The ghost summoned an orb of darkness and hurled it at Gallade.
"Gallade, dodge it!" Jethro said.
The Gallade ducked, easily dodging the attack.
"Gallade, Night Slash!" Jethro called.
"Gall!" The Gallade said and slashed at Haunter with black blades. The opposing Haunter fainted. Jethro had won the battle easily, though he was nice enough to go easy on the youngster.
"You did a good job, kid." Jethro said reassuringly.
"Thanks." The kid said and walked away.
"You're really good at battling." Zak said to Jethro.
"Oh, hi Zak!" Jethro exclaimed.
"Hi." Zak said.
"How's Andre doing?" Jethro asked.
"Good, I guess. I haven't seen him in a while. Ever since I left when he beat me with that Lucario of his." Zak replied.
"Well, he did give you the Sceptilite and the Gible as your starter." Jethro said. "He's still ahead of you. I hear he battled with Mewtwo! I want to see him soon." Jethro exclaimed.
"I just beat Cyrus in the Distortion world and battled Giratina!" Zak said.
"Cyrus is weak, though. He hasn't actually battled someone in forever, and his Pokémon aren't up to date. If he actually lived here on Earth, he would've had more items on his Pokémon and a Mega Stone for his Houndoom." Jethro said.
"It was still cool." Zak said under his breath. "I'm here to take you to him anyway."
"Who, Andre?" Jethro asked.
"Yeah, let's go."
"Ok, cool! I'm going to battle him when I see him, and I might win! I've trained really hard." Jethro said excitedly.
Then Jethro and Zak head off to find Andre.
Andre is doing great. He caught two more Pokémon! One was a stubborn Frogadier that he found in the swamp. The other was a Combusken he found in a strange place. Since then, Frogadier has evolved into Greninja. Andre has cared for and trained them well. He was having a double battle with a veteran that had two Machamp.
"Go Combusken, use Peck!" Andre said.
The orange and yellow chicken jumped into the air and landed on one Machamp, attacking it with a glowing beak.
"Greninja, Water Shuriken!" Andre said to Greninja.
The Greninja lobbed the shuriken at the second Machamp. Three shuriken hit, and the Machamp held strong. The first, however, was devastated by the brutal attacks of the chicken. Even after the four-armed bodybuilder fainted, Combusken kept pecking the opponent's Pokémon. Andre had to pay 600 Poke Dollars to pay for the damage to Machamp. He also was forced to forfeit the battle. His Combusken wasn't very bright, to say the least.
(Flashbacks of Combusken)
One day, as Andre and his Pokémon were out in the woods searching for berries, they heard a pecking sound coming from a tree. They looked into the tree and saw a Combusken trying to peck its way out of the tree… from the inside. Torchic eggs are laid in plains, so there's no way its always been here. It also wouldn't have evolved from pecking a tree. Andre was wrong about both things. It wasn't born there but was left there by its parents. Andre wonders why sarcastically. And yes, it evolved from pecking at a tree. It was an easy catch.
(Next Flashback)
Combusken was left out of its Poke Ball unattended by Andre (Bad Idea) and decided it wanted to go for a walk. Into another tree. And peck it to death. It has already been established that Combusken is NOT smart. It walked up to the tree and started pecking it mercilessly. After there was a Combusken sized hole in the tree, it climbed inside and started screaming. Really loud. For six hours. Andre had to pay 1,000 Poke Dollars for all the ear damage. He considered releasing his new Pokémon. He really did. But he didn't. ANOTHER bad idea.
(Back to present)
"Combusken, what the Heracross am I going to do with you?!" Andre yells.
"Com" Combusken said with stupid but cute eyes.
"Argh, you make me so mad sometimes!" Andre said.
"Com Cum." Combusken said.
"Whatever. Combusken return!" Andre commanded his Pokémon.
Combusken turned around and attacked him. Turns out it thought he said the MOVE return, not the command to go back into its Poke Ball. And it did a lot of damage. For people who don't know, Return is a move that does more damage the more your Pokémon loves you. Andre was hospitalized. After a while of training, he evolved his Combusken into a Blaziken. That Blaziken became a powerhouse on his team and had a new ability: Unfazed. It couldn't become confused, paralyzed, or poisoned. Guess all of that trouble paid off in the end.
Andre woke up one morning to find two faces above him. One was his brother, Zak, and one was his old friend, Jethro.
"Long time no see, Andre!" Jethro exclaimed.
"Wow, Hey! I haven't seen you in forever!" Andre said.
"Let's battle!" Jethro said.
"This early? Let's catch up first!" Andre replied.
They caught up on what they were doing, and shared information.
"You already have Decidueye, Mimikyu, Metagross, Alakazam, Lycanroc, and Gallade!? How!?" Andre said, shocked.
"I've traded and been catching Pokémon. That's my goal: to fill the Poke Dex!" Jethro added.
"Alright, now let's battle!" Andre said.
"Right!" Jethro replied.
They're at the nearest Poke Stadium and are ready to battle.
"Ok, go Lycanroc!" Jethro yelled.
"Go, Tyranitar!" Andre yelled.
The brown rock dog and the green tank rock appeared on the battlefield. Then, a huge sandstorm erupted in the middle of the field, spreading to cover the arena. Tyranitar's Sand Storm ability was in effect.
"Lycanroc, Rock Throw!" Jethro said.
"Tyranitar, Dragon Claw!" Andre yelled.
The Lycanroc jumped around, throwing sharp rocks at Tyranitar. Two rocks connected, then Tyranitar charged with aqua glowing claws, slashing at Lycanroc. The claws hit, knocking Lycanroc back.
"Lycanroc, Fire Fang! Jethro commanded.
The Lycanroc then charged at Tyranitar with burning fangs, sinking its teeth into the Tyranitar.
"Tyranitar, use Stone Edge!
The Tyranitar stomped its feet, and blue rocks jutted out of the ground, tearing toward Lycanroc. The brown Pokémon jumped out of the way just in time to dodge the attack.
"Lycanroc, now use Rock Slide!"
The Lycanroc ran with haste at Tyranitar, jumping over the stones in the field. It leaped into the air, then brought down a barrage of rocks onto the Tyranitar. The big Pokémon lurched back from the blow. As Lycanroc's attacks got faster and faster, Tyranitar was missing more and more.
"Lycanroc, Go! Use Earthquake!"
The dog then charged a high magnitude earthquake at Tyranitar, and the sturdy rock fell down from the blast, unable to battle.
"Yes!" Jethro exclaimed.
"Alright, go Greninja!" Andre said.
"I take back Lycanroc and put in Gallade!" Jethro said.
Jethro released the purple and white Pokémon as another frog ninja appeared on the playing field.
"Go, Gallade, use Brick Break!"
"Greninja, use Aerial Ace!" Andre shouted.
The Greninja ran toward the Gallade, slashing with a fist of white. As the attack hit, Gallade swung its fist at Greninja, deflecting the attack and damaging Greninja. Greninja jumped back, flipped, and landed on its feet, ready to attack again.
"Ok, Greninja, Substitute!"
Andre's Greninja disappeared, and a stuffed frog appeared in its place. Jethro's Gallade looked around, confused.
"Gallade, watch carefully! Wait for him to attack!" Jethro called to his Pokémon.
"Greninja, do it." Andre said.
Greninja and all of its clones jump onto the Gallade at once, overpowering it, and it jumps into the air to get a better view. Greninja jumps after it, however, and attacks.
"Greninja, use Smack Down!"
Greninja summons a plate of rock and whacks Gallade on the head with it, driving it down into the ground.
"Gallade, use Drain Punch!"
Gallade's arms began to glow, and it punches with brutal force at Greninja, knocking it out. Gallade then began to glow, and it healed slightly.
Both trainers stand looking at each other.
"You're pretty good." Andre says.
"Heck yeah I am!" Jethro replies.
"Well, now I've got to show you my real stuff! Go, Blaziken!"
As the red and yellow blazing chicken appeared on the field, Jethro sent back out his Lycanroc.
"Lycanroc, Rock Throw again!" Jethro calls.
Lycanroc throws the sharpened rocks, but only one hits.
"Blaziken, Drain Punch!" Andre says.
Blaziken punches Lycanroc, and with a loud thud, Lycanroc hits a wall and faints. Blaziken heals, and Jethro sends out Mimikyu. The Pokémon had a cloak that resembled Pikachu, and a dark presence lurked underneath.
"Mimikyu, Play Rough!"
Mimkyu leaps onto the Blaziken, damaging it in every way you can think of. The super effective attack brutally damages Blaziken.
"Blaziken use Earthquake!" Andre yells.
Blaziken slams its hands into the ground, and the whole stadium begins to shake, but Mimikyu doesn't do anything. The disguise ability Mimikyu possesses prevents it from being damaged from the first attack towards it.
"Mimikyu, Play Rough again!" Jethro cries.
Mimikyu ran to attack Blaziken, but the fire chicken dodges the attack.
"Blaziken, Thunder Punch!"
Blaziken punches Mimkyu with thunder punch and lands a critical hit, fainting it.
"Go, Decidueye!" Jethro says as he sends out a green owl Pokémon with leaves on its feathers.
"Decidueye, use Ingrain!"
Decidueye closes its eyes and fuses itself with the ground, ready to heal itself.
"Now you can't move!" Andre says.
"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!"
Blaziken's legs catch fire, and it kicks at Decidueye with its strong legs. It barely takes the kick, but then fire appears over its head. The ingrain helps it, but the burn hinders it.
"Decidueye, use Spirit Shackle!"
The owl Pokémon nocks an arrow with frightening speed and blasts it at Blaziken. It hits, making Blaziken unable to escape.
"Blaziken, use Thunder Punch!" Andre commands.
Blaziken jumps on the Decidueye and punches it. It survives the hit, but the burn finishes it off. It faints, and Blaziken jumps back, ready to fight some more.
"No!" Jethro says. "Go Alakazam!"
He sends out a yellow floating Pokémon with brown fur on its body.
"Alakazam, use Earthquake!"
"Blaziken, use Drain Punch!"
As the ground begins to shake, Blaziken runs at Alakazam, ready to steal its health. The earthquake sets in first though, and Blaziken faints.
"Yes!" Jethro says.
"Alright, It's time for my starter, my final Pokémon! Lucario, GO!"
As Lucario enters the field, Jethro silently smiles. He has a trick up his sleeve.
"Lucario, Let's GO!"
Lucario's spikes turn to flame, the ice on its tail forms, and the crown is evident on its head. Lucario gains a battle stance, ready to battle hard.
"Lucario, Vacuum Wave!"
Lucario punches the air quickly, and a brown red pulse is shot at Alakazam,
knocking it out.
"Alright, now my last Pokémon, Gallade!"
Gallade comes out and the real battle begins.
"Keystone! Respond to my heart, MEGA EVOLVE!" Jethro screams.
Gallade begins to change form, growing a cape and gaining red outlines on its arms.
"Lucario, Aura Blast!"
Lucario sprints at Gallade with invisible speed and launches the ball at the Pokémon.
"Gallade, Psycho Cut!" Jethro calls.
Gallade's Psycho Cut and Lucario's Aura Blast clash, and there's a huge explosion. As the dust clears, the two Pokémon are glaring at each other with grins on their faces. They each know this will be a real challenge.
"Gallade, Drain Punch!"
"Lucario, Bone Rush!"
The Pokémon's attacks clash, jumping and punching, kicking and biting and blasting each other.
"Let's FINISH THIS! GOOOOO!" Jethro and Andre Scream at the same time. They tap their Z-bracelets and turn the stones. They take their Z-poses and power up. Jethro taps the stone, then touches his temples with his hands, and pushes out with a psychic motion as Gallade is surrounded by Z- Power. Andre touches the stone, jumps into the air, and punches the air in a Z- formation as Lucario is also surrounded by Z-power.
"Gallade, USE SHATTERED PSYCHE!"
"Lucario, ALL OUT PUMMELING!"
Lucario and Gallade charge each other, the power exuded from the trainers and their Pokémon are so powerful, a huge crowd has gathered.
The Pokémon keep rushing each other. Then Gallade uses Shattered Psyche and Lucario uses All Out Pummeling. The attacks clash, and the power shakes the entire Kalos region. The sounds of clashing and blasting, punching and kicking resounded throughout the region. Even helicopters are reporting the battle throughout all of the regions. Waves of energy keep flying through the air. The dust clears, and Lucario are in whole new forms, their Ultimates, reporters are calling it. Gallade wields a lance, and Lucario has a sword. They glow with a golden aura. They are flying, moving so fast they are almost invisible. The hits are shaking the ground more than an earthquake. The Pokémon both scream at the same time, and their screams get louder and louder until they go silent. They knocked each other out. The crowd cheers are louder than the ones at the Pokémon league. That was a battle like no one's ever seen before. Legendary Pokémon from everywhere are gathering to watch the battle. Even they are applauding and cheering. Andre and Jethro faint, their power also spent.
Jethro and Andre wake up later, and their Pokémon are shaking hands, congratulating each other. They are still in their Ultimate forms. The two Pokémon touch each other's weapons in a cross formation, and they revert to their normal forms.
"What should we call these new forms for our Pokémon?" Jethro asks.
"We should combine the names, because it looks like they need each other to do… whatever that is." Andre replies.
"Lullade? Gallcario?" Jethro tried.
"No… maybe it has something to do with the Crown of the Void. Maybe it does something to Gallade too? Here, try this." Andre says.
Andre gives Jethro a piece of the Crown of the void.
"Now think about each other's bond at the same time, Jethro and Gallade." Andre says. "That's how Lucario and I change into our Void Crown forms."
"Ok! We'll try it!" Jethro says. Then he and Gallade concentrate. They keep concentrating. And they keep concentrating.
"Obviously it's not working. Lucario and I did it the first time right after it evolved, and I thought it died. I was having a lot of emotions. Maybe that's what triggered it. I don't know." Andre added.
"Maybe if I improve my bond with Gallade more than it is now, we can power up just like you. I'll go journey somewhere with Gallade, and maybe our bond will improve." Jethro said. "You do like me, don't you, Gallade?" Jethro asked his Pokémon.
"Gall, Gallade." The Gallade replied, nodding its head.
"Ok, then. I'll leave first thing tomorrow." Jethro said.
"Woah! You're leaving already!?" Andre said, shocked. "I'll go with you if you want."
"Hey, don't forget about me!" Zak said.
"Or us!" Ash, Alain, and Sawyer said.
"I'll go too!" Lillie said.
"See, Jethro? We're all in this together." Andre said.
"Ash, it really is you! Also, aren't you Andre?" said a voice from behind.
Ash and Andre turned around, and there stood Serena. She had shoulder length blond hair with red and pink clothing.
"Ash! Long time no see!" Serena said.
Ash blushed. "Uh, yeah it's been a while."
Serena blushed more.
"Y-Yes it has…" Serena said.
Andre understood what was going on, and he wanted to help Ash.
"You guys need to go catch up! Drinks at the Poke Center on me!" Andre exclaimed.
"No, you really don't need to do that!" Ash and Serena said at the same time. They looked at each other again and blushed.
Andre took one look at them, and with a small laugh, said; "Uh, yes I do. This needed to happen a long time ago."
Ash gave Andre a look that said WhatInTheWorldAreYouDoingYouRealizeThisGirlKissedMeAWhileAgo. He was mortified.
Andre just smiled.
