Here is the next chapter in the story. I hope you all enjoy it as one of Ash's pokemon is coming back soon. Please read and review because I need the reviews to help me make the story better. Any reviews I will take into account and try to use in the next few chapters.


"Well here we are again folks but this time to witness the finals between Ash of Pallet town in Kanto and Aoi of Salaceon town here in Sinnoh. This will hopefully be an exciting and thrilling battle. Now is the time to determine the stage our combatants are playing on." A roulette wheel appeared in the middle of the stadium and started spinning. When it had stopped the arrow was pointing to the grass symbol. The middle of the stage suddenly opened up to reveal a stage covered with grass and a few small trees. "Well it looks like our challengers are playing on the grass field so now over to the judge for the rules," cried the announcer.

"This will be a 3 on 3 battle with no time limit. The challenger may not call out any kind of commands or else risk their pokemon being disqualified. The winner will earn the title of pokemon master. Both challengers may switch pokemon if they choose however you may only switch each pokemon once. The match will end when all of one side's pokemon have fainted. Challengers, please choose your pokemon," the judge's voice boomed over the speakers. "I choose you monfernoe!" Ash called as he threw a red and white ball into the air. With a flash of white light there was monfernoe ready to begin the battle. "Interesting choice Ash," Aoi said more to herself than him. "In which case, I choose you Crobat," she said as she threw a pokeball into the air. Out came a purple bat with four wings. "Let the battle begin!" shouted the announcer. Crobat flew towards Monfernoe with its fangs extended and glowing purple with poison. Monfernoe rolled out of the way and shot a flamethrower back at Crobat. Crobat attempted to dodge however the flamethrower caught it on the wing making its flight harder and unstable. Monfernoe then changed to flame wheel and Crobat used sludge bomb. The attacks hit each other in mid-air and resulted in an explosion that enveloped both pokemon. Ash, Aoi and the judge all strained their eyes trying to see what was happening inside the smoke. As it cleared away it was revealed that Monfernoe had fainted whilst crobat was flying very weirdly with very little control. "Monfernoe is unable to battle. Crobat is the winner." However as the judge finished saying this Crobat lost complete control and flew straight into a tree, knocking itself out. "Crobat is also unable to battle. The result is a draw!" the judge announced. Both trainers called their pokemon back and thanked them. Then they picked a new pokeball and threw it into the air. "Donphan I choose you!" Aoi called as the armour pokemon appeared. "Well then I choose you Glalie," Ash said as threw the pokeball into the air. Out of it came the pokemon called Glalie. "This battle is between Donphan and Glalie. Let the battle begin!" The judge cried. Donphan started the battle by using rockslide however Glalie hovered out the way and then countered with headbutt. Donphan was sent skidding across the grass before standing back up and using rollout. Glalie didn't move. As Donphan was about to hit it Glalie moved to the side letting Donphan crash into the tree behind it. Glalie then turned round and used ice beam on Donphan. However Donphan dodged and so the tree became one giant ice block. Donphan then fired a hyper beam at Glalie, hitting it dead on and taking it out of the battle. "Glalie is unable to battle. Donphan is the winner!" the judge stated. "Glalie return. You did a good job my friend but it is time you rested," Ash said. "Pikachu are you ready?" "Pika!" was the reply from his little electric mouse pokemon. Pikachu then jumped from Ash's side onto the grass field. "The battle is between Donphan and Pikachu. The rules are the same so let the battle begin!" As Donphan was still recovering from hyper beam Pikachu started off with quick attack which hit Donphan on the head. However, Donphan didn't seem bothered at all as it just sat there. It then used rockslide however Pikachu dodged it and then used iron tail on Donphan knocking it out. "Donphan is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner."

"Good job Donphan now return," Aoi said. "Well it all comes down to this folks. Which pokemon will Aoi choose? I can only guess but we will soon find out," the announcer commented. "Come on out Shinx!" Aoi cried as her beloved first pokemon appeared. "This deciding battle is between Ash's pikachu and Aoi's Shinx. Let the final battle begin!" the judge shouted. Both pokemon started by using quick attack with neither of them letting up. Eventually Pikachu realised that this wasn't doing much and so switched to iron tail. Shinx, however, saw it coming and used the speed from quick attack to dodge it. Shinx then followed up with thunderbolt. But Pikachu just absorbed the attack and sent it back to Shinx only more powerful. Shinx tried to copy Pikachu however the attack was too strong and so Shinx was sent sprawling across the field. Pikachu then went to follow up with iron tail however he was countered by Shinx using both iron tail and quick attack, a combination it had learnt during training. It hit Pikachu hard and sent him flying into the branches of a tree, damaging him more and more. At this stage both trainers were amazed that their pokemon knew a lot of the same moves. Ash could do nothing but watch as Pikachu and Shinx tried to get the better of each other. All of a sudden Shinx started to glow with a white light. "Well look at that folks," the announcer said, "Shinx is starting to evolve. Once the bright disappeared there was no sign of Shinx but instead a majestic Luxio. "Yeah! My Shinx evolved into Luxio!" Aoi yelled. All Pikachu could do was just stand as Luxio started to use iron tail. However, it quickly came to its senses and countered using the quick tail (iron tail and quick attack combined) which Shinx had used earlier. The result was a small explosion, which both pokemon came out from still standing however they had both been damaged quite badly by this stage. Both pokemon knew that the battle had to end soon so they both started charging up volt tackle. Just before the two attacks collided Pikachu swerved, causing Luxio's volt tackle to miss. Pikachu then quickly used iron tail before Luxio could recover its composure. The attack hit Luxio hard on the face and Luxio fell to the ground, defeated. "Luxio is unable to battle. The winner of this battle is Pikachu. The winner of the Sinnoh league is Ash, from Pallet town!" the judge cried enthusiastically. Ash just stood there astounded that he had actually won the Sinnoh league. Him, Ash Ketchum from Pallet town. Then he looked across and saw Aoi returning her newly evolved Luxio whilst blinking back tears. Ash decided he would talk to her after the ending ceremony. Aoi couldn't believe it. She had come so close to winning her very first pokemon league but the person she liked the most, the one that had inspired her to take the challenge of the Sinnoh league, had gone and snatched the victory away from her. She could have won if it weren't for that "you must let your pokemon decide" rule. Oh well. There was always next time. She had been lucky to get this far. She had barley got all the badges in time and then her pokemon sometimes disobeyed her. If only she had trained her pokemon better. Then she looked up and saw Ash holding out his hand. Images ran through her mind of how he had saved her twice. She could feel her cheeks go red, her heart starting to race. She took his hand and they shook hands and congratulated each other on their success of getting this far.

End Flashback

At Alice's house

Annabelle rang the doorbell of her childhood friend's house. A girl around the same age as Annabelle, with brown hair and green eyes, opened the door and smiled. "Hey Annabelle," Alice said "I haven't seen you in a while. Not since you told me about that boy… what was his name again?" "Never mind it doesn't matter," Annabelle replied. "I just came to ask you a favour." "What is it Annabelle?" Alice asked. "Can I borrow the Pidgeot you found on Route 1? I need it to travel to the Sinnoh region," Annabelle said. "Well the truth is that this Pidgeot wants to find its trainer which left it to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto," Alice replied. "Well in that case we need to find out who this Pidgeot's trainer is," Annabelle. The two girls sat there trying to think how they could find out who the trainer was. "I know!" Alice shouted, startling Annabelle at the sudden change in noise. "Why don't you ask Pidgeot itself. After all you can still talk to pokemon can't you?" Alice said. "I'll try," replied Annabelle. "Pidgeot I need a description of your trainer." Annabelle sent the thought to Pidgeot. Pidgeot nodded its head and began to think what its trainer looked like. Annabelle kept reading Pidgeot's mind before suddenly jumping back, obviously shocked. "What's the matter Annabelle?" Alice inquired. "Have you found out who the trainers is yet?" "Yes, but it was quite a shock realising who the trainer was," Annabelle said calmly. "Anyway I have to go and find Pidgeot's trainer before he moves on somewhere else," Annabelle quickly called out as she and Pidgeot ran out of the house. "Well good luck then," Alice shouted after her as she mounted Pidgeot and flew off.


Well that chapter was longer than the others and I hope to make Ash and Annabelle meet up in the next chapter but I can change that if you want but you must tell so please read and review.
