Destiny Returns

Chapter 8

May and Drew have just completed the first round for their Pokemon Contest. May is waiting to see what he will do next.

May POV

Wow, that was beautiful how Drew did that first round. I don't think I can compete with that. She thought to herself. But I have GOT to win this Contest.

"Nice use of Shadow Ball" said a voice behind her. May turned around, startled.

"Oh, Hi Drew" she said, and blushed "You weren't to bad yourself."

"Thanks" he said in return. "So…you ready for the Contest Battle?"

"Yep" she said, "Well, I gotta go practice for the Contest Battle, so see you."

"See you." May got up and walked to the exit of the stage. Oh, he is so dreamy! she thought to herself I've got to make a move next time. May walked to an open area and brought out a Pokeball.

"Go…" (HAHA!! Cliffhanger!)

Ash POV

"I'm starving! I am going to get something from the concessions. You guys want anything?" said Ash.

"Nope" said Max.

"I'm good," said Brock.

"I'll pass", said Misty.

"Okay. Come on Pikachu!" said Ash.

"Pikachu!" said the yellow mouse Pokemon and jumped upon the young man's shoulder.

"Okay! Lets go!" They go to the concessions and buy a lot of food and ya-da-ya-da. On their way back they see May out the window.

"Hey, its May" he said.

"Pika" agreed Pikachu. May was calling to something and giving it orders.

"Hey, I think she is practicing for the Contest Battle," said Ash.

"Gee, Ya think?" said a voice behind him. Ash spun around and saw…Harley.

"Harley?!" said Ash "What are YOU doing here?"

"Why, you didn't recognize me in contest?" sneered the Harley "I was in it too"

"Well, I didn't! Okay?" retorted Ash.

"So, wanna battle?" asked Harley in a mean way.

"Fine…great now I've gotten myself in a pit. Battle Harley is like watching a magic show, he's got a million tricks up his sleeve" Ash muttered. They walked out into a clearing big enough for battling.

"Lets use two Pokemon each and you can call out you Pokemon first Ashey boy" called Harley, as Ash was getting a Pokeball.

"If you haven't noticed, I'm not a boy anymore, I'm a man" replied Ash "But, fine here I go. Go! Donphan!" Ash threw the Pokeball and Donphan appeared in a flash of light.

"Donphan!" it roared.

"Heh, a Donphan?" sneered Harley "I have something a little more interesting. Go! Ariados!" Harley threw the Pokeball and the bug Pokemon Ariados came out in the ever-present flash of light. "Ariados use Poison Sting!" Ariados shot the short, purple beams at Ash's Donphan. The attack hit, but Donphan didn't even get a scratch. "What? That's a powerful Pokemon there!" (Normally in a REAL episode of Pokemon, Jesse, James and Meowth would normally be watching them and planning to steal the Pokemon, but those guys are dorks and I don't want them screwing up my fan fiction.)

"Yeah, well now you get a taste of its power and not its defense! Donphan use Take Down!" Donphan charged at Harley's Ariados, but Harley called out "Use String Shot on the branches above to dodge!" Ariados shot the white, sticky web substance and started to rise.

"Donphan! Change to Rollout!" Donphan immediately curled it self up while still doing Take Down and was going at a blinding speed. So fast, that there was an orb of energy around it. The energy transformed and started to swirl…this was Giga Impact.

"Whoa! Donphan is using Giga Impact!" Ash called. Donphan FINALLY reached Ariados (GEEZ! This must be a big field!) and made a destructive hit. Ariados was in so much shock of the energy it fainted all ready.

"Wow…" said Ash "I didn't know that my Donphan was that powerful"

"It wont be so powerful after my next Pokemon is done with it!" yelled Harley; he was being extra snotty, for Ash's Donphan was way powerful than his Ariados. "Ariados! Return!" Ariados was absorbed by the Pokeball's red beam. "Go…"(You guys must be thinking Geez, what is with this guy and cliffhangers? )

So as May trains, Ash and Harley have an intensifying battle.
