Chapter 3

"Go, Ludicolo!" yelled Jeffrey as he select his first pokemon.

"Ludi-colo" growl Ludicolo.

"A Ludicolo, huh? Then I choose Swellow!" said Ash as he makes his first choice.

" Swe-llow!" screeched Swellow excited.

"Ludicolo, use water gun." Commanded Jeffrey. Ludicolo obeyed with a quick water gun.

"Dodge that, Swellow! Then use wing attack!" commanded Ash as Swellow barely dodged that and flew at Ludicolo at high speed.

"Ludicolo, go dive in the grass." Said Jeffrey to hopefully dodge Swellow's attack.

"Ludi-colo." Groaned Ludicolo as he wasn't fast enough to dodge the attack.

"No problem, Ludicolo. Now hurry up and attack with an Ice beam!" said Jeffrey. (A/N: Can Ludicolo learn ice beam? It's my story, so too bad:P)

Swellow cried out in pain as the ice beam was dead on accurate and hit Swellow right in the back. Swellow froze in a lot of ice and had the swirly eyes.

"Swellow is unable to battle. Ludicolo wins!" announced the announcer (A/N: Lmao)

"Great job, Swellow. You deserve a good rest. Now for my second pokemon. Go, Torkoal!" said Ash as he returned Swellow to its pokeball and send out Torkoal.

"Why would he send out Torkoal? Ash knows Ludicolo can use water attacks! THAT IDIOT!" yelled Misty from the sidelines.

"Well, that's true, Misty. But you forget that Ludicolo is also a grass type, so it's pretty even, actually." Explained Max, being the annoying smart kid he is.

"Shouldn't you know that, being the expert in water pokemon, Misty?" taunted Max, who couldn't resist making fun of Misty.

WHACK! WHACK!

Misty is satisfied with her "work" with the mallet and went back to cheering Ash on while Max lies on the floor, nursing a HUGE bump created by Misty's mallet.(A/N: poor Max. I am sorry if you guys are Max fans, but I don't really like him.)

"Still, Torkoal is going to have a hard time with those water attacks. He will need a strategy to beat Ludicolo." Said Brock while wincing because he thought Misty might hit him with her mallet. Lucky for him, Misty was too busy cheering Ash on to hear what Brock was saying.

"Torkoal, use flamethrower." Commanded Ash as Torkoal responded with a sizzling flamethrower.

"Ludicolo, dive in the grass once more!" yelled Jeffrey as Ludicolo dives right into the grass.

"That's what I thought you would do. Torkoal, hide in your feet into the shell. Spin around while using Overheat!" said Ash.

Jeffrey looked in horror as Torkoal spins around, burning all the grass using Overheat and hitting Ludicolo several times with the powerful fire attack.

"Ludicolo is unable to battle. Torkoal wins!" said the announcer. "What a brilliant strategy, predicting what his opponent would do and used that to his advantage. Now both trainers are down one pokemon. What will Jeffrey choose as his second pokemon?"

"Go, Starmie." Yelled Jeffrey as he chose his second pokemon.

"This is going to be tough on Ash. Starmie is a tough water pokemon and just started in this battle. Torkoal, on the other hand, is tired from that battle with Ludicolo." Observed Brock.

"Come on, guys. We just got to have faith in Ash." Said Misty as she continued cheering for Ash.

Brock and May exchanged a 'she-got-it-bad' look.

"Alright, I know you are tired, Torkoal, but let's do the best we can. Start off by flamethrower." Said Ash as a tired Torkoal launched a flamethrower at Starmie.

"Jump, Starmie (A/N: I don't think they can jump because they have no legs, but too bad!) and use bubblebeam." Said Jeffrey as Starmie jumps and launched a bubblebeam at Torkoal.

"Torkoal, use iron defense, and then Overheat!" yelled Ash. Torkoal retreated back into its shell and the bubblebeam bounced off harmlessly. Then Torkoal fired an overheat attack at Starmie.

"Won't overheat be less effective each time he use it?" asked Max.

"True, but Ash knows it is only powerful attack that might stop Starmie." Explained Brock.

Starmie dodged the overheat attack and responded with a Hydro Pump.

"Use iron defense quick, Torkoal." Yelled Ash in desperation.

Sure enough, Torkoal did get back in its shell fast enough, but the hydro pump proved too tough on the strong fire pokemon.

"Torkoal in unable to battle. Starmie wins. Now Ash is down to his last pokemon and Jeffrey still has 2 pokemon left. What will be Ash's last pokemon?" said the announcer.

'Hmmm, I got it!" thought Ash.

"Go, Pikachu!" yelled Ash as his first and best pokemon got ready to battle.

"Smart choice by Ash, knowing that electric types has the advantage over water types." Said Brock.

"Pikachu, start off with a quick attack!" said Ash.

"Pika, Pika!" responded Pikachu as he heads toward Starmie with lighting speed.

Poor Jeffrey never had a chance to react for Pikachu's quick attack was too fast for his Starmie.

"Starmie is unable to battle. Pikachu wins!" yelled the announcer.

'What?!?! That was so fast! I have got to watch out for his Pikachu.' Thought Jeffrey as he makes his final decision.

"Both trainers are down to one pokemon. What will Jeffrey's final choice be?" said the announcer.

"Go…"

Cliffhanger…

I am kinda evil, huh

I will probably update tomorrow.
