Divine Arena

Ash, was pacing back and forth in the locker room. He was less then ten minutes away from his rematch with Tobias. The two trainers hadn't crossed paths since the Sinnoh league. Ash wondered just how strong he was now. After all it had been a good six or seven years, since he had lost to his Latios. Ash looked down at the balls on his belt. He had been up early studying all Tobias recent battles and every time he had started with his Darkrai. So Ash was pretty sure that he would start with it once again. Ash looked up and saw the light blink. He took a deep breath before walking up the stairs and walking onto the battle field. He could already see Tobias was standing in his box, his face covered by his scarf with only one of his eyes showing.

"Been a while Ash. I hope you are going to be more of challenge then you were seven years ago. Just because you beat the Unova champion, doesn't mean your invincible."

Ash growled. "Trust me Tobias, I am not the same boy you faced that day. Now lets give these fan a battle to remember."

Tobias was surprised by Ash attitude. Clearly this was not the same kid he had faced all those years ago. Tobias gripped a ball from his belt ready to battle.

The referee walked into the middle of the field."This is a third round battle between Tobias and Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. All clause are in effect. This is a three on three match. Once all Pokemon from one team is eliminated I will announce the winner. Please also note that Substitutions are not allowed in this battle. Trainers send out your first Pokemon. 3.2.1. Battle!"

Tobias wasted no time in launching his ball onto the field. "Darkrai arise." The ball snapped open to reveal the Dark legendary, floating just above the ground. Its one eye staring across the field."

Ash grinned. "Well that was a surprise. Time for mine. Keldeo your up!" The ball landed on the field and opened up to reveal the fighting/water duel type legendary."

Tobias eyes widened. He had never seen this Pokemon before. He decided to play it safe, of course he had no idea of Keldeo special ability. "Darkrai use Dark Void now!" The darkness Pokemon formed a black orb between it's hands before launching it at Keldeo who was just standing there."

Ash lifted his cap. "Bad move Tobias. You see Keldeo has the special ability justified. This means when he gets hit with a Dark type move. Then his attack his raised by one stage. Keldeo take that Dark void head on!"

Keldeo just stood on the field and took the attack, however instead of him falling asleep. He started to glow red briefly. Soon the glow had died down, leaving Keldeo unharmed.

Tobias were speechless. His Darkrai was useless against this Pokemon. Well Dark moves anyway. Tobias now knew he needed to come up with a different strategy. "Darkrai use Focus Blast!" Darkrai again formed an orb between his hands however this orb was white. He launched the attack at Keldeo.

Ash just stood there. "Keldeo use Calm mind!" Keldeo closed his eyes and began to meditate, raising its special defence and special attack. It took the Focus blast with little damage, and just stood on the field waiting for Ash to give him the next order.

Tobias growled. Ash was making him look like an amateur in this battle. "Darkrai use Thunderbolt!" Darkrai began to form an orb of electricity between it's hands before launching the attack at Keldeo.

Ash wasn't going to have any of that. "Keldeo use Aqua jet to dodge. Then use Toxic!" Keldeo dodged the thunder bolt, before covering itself in water and hitting Darkrai causing the Dark Pokemon to fall back a little. It then covered Darkrai in a purple mist, poisoning the Dark type."

Tobias wasn't sure what to do. He couldn't substitute, and all Darkrai attack were having no effect what so ever. "Darkrai use Thunderbolt once more!" Darkrai once again launched another thunder bolt which Keldeo dodged once more."

Ash shook his head in disappointment. "I was expecting more from you Tobias. Oh well. Keldeo finish this battle with Secret sword!" Keldeo raced towards Darkrai before jumping in the air. His small horn began to grow. Quickly he flipped in the air and sliced Darkrai with his horn. The attack caused a small explosion on the field. When the smoke had cleared it showed Darkrai fainted on the field.

Tobias growled. "Impossible. One attack beat my Darkrai?"

Ash just smirked. "Secret sword is a special attack fighting type move that also deals physical damage. Powered up with both calm mind, and it's ability Justified, made the attack super effective. Not to mention Darkrai weakness to fighting type moves, pretty much guaranteed a K.O."

The referee raised his flag. "Darkrai is unable to battle. Trainer send out your next Pokemon."

Tobias recalled his Darkrai then grabbed a ball from his belt. "You caught me off guard with that one Ash, but no more. Go Latios!" The ball snapped open revealing the blue eon dragon Pokemon floating on the field.

Ash looked into the eyes of the blue eon Pokemon. "Keldeo be very careful of this one."

Tobias decided to waste no time. "Latios use Draco Meteor!" Latios began to form an orange orb in its mouth. It then fired the orb towards the heaven. Once in the sky the orb separated and began to rain down onto the battle field.

Ash wasted no time. "Keldeo Protect!" Keldeo formed a blue shield around itself, causing the various meteorites to just bounce off it. Once the shower had finished, the shield vanished. Ash watched Latios special attack fall. "desperate move Tobias, Keldeo use Ice beam!"

Tobias eyes widened. "Use Protect Latios, hurry." Latios formed a blue field around itself. The ice beam hit the shield, and then bounced off. Once the attack was over the shield vanished. Tobias grinned. "Latios use Dragon Dance!" Latios covered itself in red energy raising it's attack and speed.

Ash wasn't expecting that. He had thought that Latios only knew special attacks. "Keldeo use Blizzard!"

Keldeo horn glowed, before the whole field was covered in wind and ice. The attack hit Latios multiple times. Once the attack had finished, both of Latios wings were frozen, reducing it's movement on the field.

Tobias growled. "No impossible. Latios use Protect!" Latios again formed a blue shield around itself.

Ash was rather surprised at this move. He had not even launched an attack. Well now it was going to cost Tobias. "Keldeo use Calm mind!" Keldeo once again raised its special attack and special defence.

Tobias suddenly realised how stupid he had just been. He had used protect, without even considering that Ash might have his Pokemon boost it's stats. "Latios use Dragon claw!" Latios small claws began to grow. It then slashed them at Keldeo, who was doing it's best to dodge the attack.

Ash knew Keldeo couldn't keep the dodging up for long. He needed to turn this battle in his favour. "Keldeo Toxic!" Keldeo once again dodged Latios' claws before covering Latios in a purple mist, poisoning the eon dragon.

Tobias growled in frustration. "Latios use Thunderbolt!" Latios roared before forming an electrical orb between its claws and launching it at Keldeo, who took the attack full on. Keldeo fell to the ground however it wasn't out yet. It stood up then cried in pain as an electric surge went through its body. It had been paralysed.

Ash groaned. Both of them were now suffering from status problem. "Keldeo use Blizzard!" Keldeo horn once again glowed before the battle field was covered in a wind of ice. The attack hit Latios dead on, forcing the eon dragon to fall to the ground. It was trying to get up, only for it too fall once more and faint.

The referee raised his flag. "Latios is unable to battle then winner is Keldeo. Trainer send out your next Pokemon."

Tobias recalled Latios then looked over to Ash. Tobias was now down to his final Pokemon. "I choose you Deoxys!" The ball snapped open to reveal the legendary DNA Pokemon. It floated down towards the field and faced Keldeo. "Deoxys defence form. Use Calm mind!" Deoxys vanished into a white light, only to appear once more. This time its body had changed to its defence form. It then meditated rising its special attack and special defence.

Ash was surprised at Tobias final Pokemon. "Keldeo use Taunt!" Keldeo eyes suddenly glowed. The glow immediately drew Deoxy's eyes. Preventing him from using any none attack moves for 3 to 5 turns.

Tobias was absolutely livid. He had hoped to take advantage of Deoxys defence capability while chipping away at Keldeo health bar. Now he was forced to attack full on. "Deoxys use Psycho boost!" Deoxys arms began to charge with a purple energy before he swung then both forward, unleashing a huge blast of psychic energy, which hit Keldeo.

Ash watched Keldeo try to stand once more. Before falling onto the battle field.

The referee raised his flag. "Keldeo is unable to battle. The winner is Deoxys. Trainer send out your second Pokemon."

Ash was already way ahead of the referee. "You showed me yours Tobias. Now it's time for you to see mine. Go Darkrai!" The ball snapped opened and the Darkness Pokemon appeared in front of Ash ready for battle.

Tobias eyes widened. "Impossible, another Darkrai? I only thought there were two."

Ash shook his head. "There are only two. However this one is a present from the God Pokemon Arceus. Darkrai use Dark Void! Lets see how you like a taste of your own medicine." Darkrai launched several black holes onto the field. One instantly swallowed Deoxys, putting him to sleep.

Tobias was now helpless. There was nothing he could do, but watch as his Pokemon slept on the field. There was no way he could win now. Especially with Deoxys also suffering from Darkrai special ability Nightmare.

Ash smirked. He knew this battle was over. "Darkrai use Dark Pulse." Darkrai formed a sphere of dark energy between it's hands before slamming his hand together allowing the energy he had formed to disperse into a huge dark wave, that hit Deoxys, doing some serious damage. Seeing how Tobias couldn't do anything. Ash decided to attack once more. "Again Darkrai!" Darkrai again use Dark pulse, causing more damage to Deoxys.

Tobias knew the next move was going to be his curtain call on this tournament, and he just stood there while another Dark Pulse hit his Pokemon. This time fainting it. He watched helpless as Deoxys fell to the battle field fainted.

The referee raised his flag. "Deoxy is unable to battle. The Winner of this match is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, who will now go through to the fourth round."

Up In The Stands

One of Ash's girls were more excited than the rest and that was Cynthia. Finally Ash had defeated Tobias. Hugged the rest of her sisters as they watched Ash wave to the crowd, before blowing a kiss to all of them. The arena slowly started to empty. Cynthia quickly checked her watch. She would be starting her own battle soon. Against an Opponent she had never battled before. True she had seen many of Chantals battles on TV, but that was nothing like facing her in real life. Cynthia knew she specialised in Ghost Pokemon, and wondered just who the Unova Elite four would use. She noticed someone was tapping her shoulder. She turned to see Hilda was looking at her worried.

"Anything wrong Cynthia? The Sinnoh Champion slowly stood up, allowing her hair to fall over her face once more.

"No Hilda. Just wondering about my next opponent. I was wondering what three Pokemon to use against Chantal. After all the only real threat I have to use against her is Spiritomb. Garchomp of course will be my second choice, however I am stuck on my last choice."

Hilda thought about all the Pokemon she knew Cynthia had. "Why don't you use Hydreigon. It's a Dragon/dark duel type. Perfect to face a ghost Pokemon."

Cynthia face palmed. How could she had forgotten that. Hydreigon would indeed be a good third choice. Cynthia hugged Hilda. "Cheers sis. That's perfect. Come on we better go or Ash might wonder where we are."

Hilda and Cynthia left the VIP area and caught up with the rest of the group who were waiting with a huge crowd of girls outside Ash locker room. Cynthia face immediately turned an angry red, as she stormed up to the group.

"Okay, everyone leave now!"

All the girls and fans looked to see the Sinnoh League champion standing there. Hands on hips with the rest of Ash girls stood behind her. The crowd immediately began to break up and leave the front of the locker room. Once everyone had left, Cynthia knocked on the door.

"Its all clear to come out now Ash. It's just me and the girls here now. Ash!"

Cynthia noticed there was no reply, which worried her. She could hear Pikachu but not Ash. Quickly she removed Garchomp. "Dragon Rush that door. Hurry." Garchomp charged at the door breaking through it. Once Cynthia had returned Garchomp to her ball, she walked through the door, and saw Pikachu trying to wake up a knocked out Ash. Cynthia and the rest of the girls quickly rushed to their boyfriends side. They quickly turned him over, they could see he was just about breathing. Quickly Cynthia grabbed her Pokegear and typed in the emergency number.

"Hello yes. We need an ambulance, my boyfriend has fainted. Were in the Divine arena, centre dome locker room. Please hurry!" Cynthia ended the call then noticed a box of chocolates on the bench, with a note. Cynthia noticed several chocolates were missing. She picked up the note.

To Ash. Great battle. I just wanted to send you a little something. Don't eat them all at once. A fan!
