Pikatwig: Chapter 5, and unless I'm not mistaken… it is still August! Huzzah!

KKD: Yosh!

Pikatwig: But it's the last week of my summer break! Dang it!

KKD: Shoot.

Pikatwig: I mean… yay, I'll be in Advanced Animation… but I have sixth lunch AGAIN and Advanced Animation is no doubt going to be very hard since my teacher vanished without trace during the middle of the year and the sub really didn't help us advance on learning about animation…

KKD: I see...

Pikatwig: 11th grade started alright, I at least had Sean for the while you were gone, and then it circled in the drain…

KKD: Yea, sorry.

Pikatwig: It wasn't all bad, there were some good times, I was in J-Club and I had a totally awesome Sensei, the teachers I had were really cool, got to spend time with my not-girlfriend in J-Club, learned about some cool manga...

KKD: Oh, right.

Pikatwig: But the negatives outweigh the positives.

KKD: Well, let's try and lift your mood with this.

Pikatwig: Yea. So… character I personally don't like vs. character a lot of the fanbase doesn't like. Tsundere Gen 1 vs Tsundere Gen 5.

KKD: This'll get bonkers in no time.

Pikatwig: And the set up of another match… but let's just get started.

Off-Screen Guy: Yo. You left some papers over here…

Pikatwig: Hang on… *walks over and picks them up, with some falling by KKD.* The papers were about the Alolan Vulpix*

KKD: Huh… okay. *picks the papers up*

Pikatwig: ...it's cute… *takes papers and puts them away*

KKD: Yea… anyways, shall we begin?

Camera Guy: Question. Who's your favorite Alola variant?

KKD: Hmm… I'd gotta say… Raichu.

Pikatwig: Ok… let's try and start now…

Diantha and Cynthia both stood in the main arena, ready to hear the rules for the math.

-This battle between Kalos Region Champion Diantha and Sinnoh Region Champion Cynthia will now begin. Each sides are only allowed one Pokemon, and the battle will be over when one of those Pokemon are unable to fight,- Mr. Verich announced, -Champions, send out your Pokemon.-

Both nodded and sent out their Pokemon, Diantha sent out her Gardevoir and Cynthia sent out her Garchomp. The Mach Pokemon noticeably had something around one of its wrists, which Diantha noticed.

"So… you can Mega Evolve your star Pokemon too?" Diantha said with a small smirk.

"Yes. I learned of the Mega Stones and found one before we came to Kalos," Cynthia smiled, "Let's see who will win this match of Champions, Diantha."

"Yea,"

-Let the Special Champion Battle begin!-

Monitors all over the stadium had the battle on, and both Pokemon were putting their A Game into the match. Gardevoir was easily able to dodge attacks from Garchomp, but Garchomp also managed to evade the attacks with ease.

"Two Champions battling… this'll be an interesting turnout," Gary commented.

"Yea, totally," a trainer nodded, this trainer having red hair, wearing a navy blue outfit with red lines, a black cape with a crimson underside, "Nice to meet ya. I'm Lance."

"Gary Oak," Gary smiled, "Nice to meetcha."

"Same," Lance nodded as they shaked hands.

-We are now about to begin our first official match of the tournament. Several monitors will have this match on, so please watch if you wish,- one of Mr. Verich's assistants informed.

-In the corner to the left, Cerulean City Gym Leader, Misty,- the announcer announced, -And her opponent, from the mysterious Dragon Village, Iris.-

Misty and Iris walked into the arena, the former looking calm with a smile while the latter waved like a little kid.

-This will be a 3 on 3 Pokemon Battle. Both sides are allowed to substitute Pokemon as they see fit. The battle will be over when all three Pokemon on both sides are unable to continue battling.-

"This'll be fun," Iris smiled as she stretched a bit and Misty simply thinking about who to begin with.

"Dragon Village? She must use a lot of Dragon Types…" Misty muttered in thought, "Alright…"

"Okay, Axew, you're up!" Iris called, as Axew lept out of her hair and onto the battlefield.

"Alright… Azurill, go!" Misty smiled, as Azurill hopped onto the battlefield and sat on its tail.

-The first Pokemon of this match are Azurill and Axew. Thus, our first battle shall now begin!-

"Azurill, use Bubblebeam!"

Thus, the small blue Pokemon got off of its tail and blew out a stream of bubbles, Axew barely managing to dodge the blast as it moved away from the wave of bubbles.

"Keep it up,"

Azurill continued to fire the attack, resulting Axew continuing to run to evade it.

"Get in close and use Scratch,"

Axew nodded and jumped over the wave of bubbles and Scratch managed to hit Azurill. The Pokemon bounced back a little bit, but was able to get back up.

"Use Water Gun,"

"Dodge it!"

Axew dodged the jet of water Azurill launched out, but the field was continuing to grow wet and slippery. Misty smirked a little bit as she saw Axew was having trouble keeping its footing.

"Alright, Azurill, return," she called, the Pokemon bouncing over to her side, "Staryu, go!"

The Starfish quickly flew around before landing on the ground with a 'hiyah'.

"Axew, use Scratch!"

Axew ran over and hit Staryu with it, but the star hardly felt the attack.

"Does your Axew know anything else?" Misty asked.

"He does."

"Prove it,"

"...use Giga Impact!" Iris yelled, as Axew rushed over and was surrounded by a lavender and orange vortex, which knocked the Star Shape Pokemon into the air, "Now use Outrage!"

Axew glowed red a little bit, as did its eyes, and it jumped up to continuously punch Staryu, soon sending it to the ground. However, Axew slipped and fell onto the ground and continued to punch and kick.

"Use Swift!"

Staryu then launched out energy stars at Axew, which sent it into the air and to Iris' hands. It was still confused, but it had not yet fainted.

"Here. You relax a bit," Iris told him as she took out a Pokeball, "Gible, it's your turn!"

With that, she called out the tiny landshark out.

"Alright, Staryu, use Water Gun!"

The star then blasted a stream of water at the land shark.

"Evade it!"

Gible quickly moved away from the stream of water, but had trouble keeping its footing.

"Perfect! Staryu, use Ice Beam on the ground!" Misty called out.

"Shoot! Gible, use Dig to evade!" Iris commanded.

Gible jumped into the air and made contact with the ground… just as the Ice Beam hit it and froze the ground solid, causing the dragon type to get frozen as it was clawing at the ground to use Dig.

"Gible!" Iris yelled in concern.

"Use Rapid Spin on the ground!"

The Rapid Spin struck the ground and sent the ice right into the air, along with Gible.

"Gible!"

Unfortunately, the small Pokemon had been KOed by the combo.

-Gible is unable to battle, the winner is Staryu.-

Gible's image on the monitor was darkened to signify this, making Iris groan before she recalled Gible.

"Well, that's going interestingly," Gary commented as Ash walked past him, not that Gary noticed.

Ash arrived by his companions with some cotton candy and popcorn, with Bonnie grabbing both with an annoyed look on her face.

"Bonnie…" Clemont sighed.

"What? I'm hungry," she responded.

"Your expression,"

Bonnie rolled her eyes at her brother and nibbled on the popcorn. She dropped one piece and a Pokemon quickly ran over and took it.

"What the?!" Bonnie gawked as she chased after the Pokemon, "Come back here with that!"

"Bonnie!" Clemont groaned as he chased after her.

The Pokemon ran over to its trainer, who was wearing a blue jacket with a pink Pokeball symbol on the hood, yellow goggles with blue lenses atop his head, a blue and black camo cap atop his head and short yellow hair, a blue satchel around his side and resting by his right side, blue jeans and green and yellow shoes. The trainer looked a bit surprised as his Pokemon stopped by him.

"Vulpix? What are you doing?" he asked.

"Vul-Vul," the little fox Pokemon giggled as he ate the popcorn.

"I can't take you anywhere…" he grumbled.

"Hey, Kota," a voice called out, making him turn to see an older male trainer with a Great Ball-themed cap on his blue hair, green eyes, and wearing a silver vest with an aloha floral pattern over a blue t-shirt, black pants, red and white sneakers, and yellow fingerless gloves, "What's up?"

"Gotcha!" Bonnie yelled as she grabbed the Vulpix, "Give me back my popcorn!"

"...I can't take her anywhere," the blonde, Kota, groaned.

"Oh… is this your Pokemon?" Bonnie asked.

"Yea."

The Vulpix got down and Bonnie looked to see a cloth of sorts was in her hands, she then looked and saw the Vulpix was a white color with blue eyes and it's fur seemed longer and its tails were shorter.

"Wow…" Bonnie gawked, smiling at the little fox, "She's just so adorable!"

The others walked over and saw Bonnie with the Vulpix.

"Is that a Vulpix?" Ash asked as Serena took out her Pokedex.

-Vulpix, the Fox Pokemon. Inside Vulpix's body burns a flame that never goes out. During the daytime, when the temperatures rise, this Pokemon releases flames from its mouth to prevent its body from growing to hot.-

"...I don't think this is a Fire type…" Serena commented.

"Not with this appearance… it looks like an Ice Type," Ash noted.

"There's a reason," Kota noted, "See, this Vulpix is from another region where it had to migrate away to colder areas, so it adapted into an Ice Type. I like to call her 'Snowpix'."

"Vul-Vul," 'Snowpix' giggled.

"Uh, my name's Kota and I'm from the Sinnoh Region," Kota smiled as he looked over at Ash, "Oh hey! You're Ash, right?"

"Yep,"

"I saw you in the Lily of the Valley Conference. You really should've won, if not for Tobias just using Legendary Pokemon, you would've easily won!"

"Yea, that was a seriously cheap move of him to do," Takeshi sighed, "Oh, I'm Takeshi and I'm from Hoenn."

"Nice to meetcha," Ash smiled, Pikachu noticing something hovering above Takeshi's head. Pikachu looked up and saw it was a Raichu…

"Pika…" Pikachu gawked.

"What is it, Pikachu?" Ash asked as Takeshi looked up, the Raichu above him hovering on his rounded tail tip, smiling as he looked at the group with his blue eyes, its ears being rounded as well, and it was a slightly lighter shade of orange.

"Oh, right. That's my Raichu buddy, Shocker," Takeshi pointed out as the Raichu waved.

"Rai, rai, raichu," Shocker, the Raichu smiled as he hovered down next to Takeshi.

"Pika…" Pikachu gawked.

"I have no idea why he's like that. He washed up on the shores of Slateport when I was visiting my sister, and I had to take him in," Takeshi informed, "Somebody told me there's… somewhere where the Raichu end up looking like this, but I have no idea where that is."

"Certainly very interesting," Clemont smiled.

"Seems like it's surfing," Bonnie commented.

"Yea, he always liked the water, surfing on his tail like it was a surfboard, even on land. I think he might be part Psychic seeing he rarely touches the ground," Takeshi noted.

"Alright, well… it was nice meeting you two," Ash commented as he and the others headed off.

However, Bonnie stood there a moment longer and looked at the Vulpix, "I want an apology."

Vulpix responded by simply giving a sorry look, with Bonnie smiling and heading back.

"Uh… I need that cloth," Kota informed, with Bonnie handing it back before she walked off, "Thank you."

Takeshi looked up at the monitor showing the on-going match between Iris and Misty, and at the moment, it was Dragonite vs. Staryu.

"This is getting pretty intense, huh, Shocker?" Takeshi commented.

"Rai-Rai," Shocker nodded.

"Dragonite, get in close! Don't let Staryu get away!" Iris commanded.

"Aim for its wings and use Ice Beam!"

Dragonite was able to evade the shots of ice, Staryu continuing to fire at the Dragon-type, but one was able to hit the tip of its wings and knock it off balance.

"We won't let you get away with that! Thunderpunch, now!" Iris commanded.

Thus, the Dragon type got in close and punched Staryu into the wall with its electrically charged fist. Staryu landed by the wall, its gem blinking to indicate it was knocked out.

-Staryu is unable to battle, the winner is Dragonite!-

"Drat!" Misty groaned, calling back Staryu, she thought for a moment before letting out a sigh, "Can't believe I'm about to do this… but go, Psy-"

Just before she tossed the Pokeball, her Psyduck popped out of its own accord.

"Psy!" the yellow duck proclaimed.

"...was going to call you out anyway," she commented.

"Really? A Psyduck? That's the best you got? I figured a Gym Leader of Water Types would at least have a Golduck."

Memories of the day where she thought Psyduck did evolve flashed through Misty's head, making her sigh a bit before focusing, "You better not underestimate my Psyduck, because it's gonna lead you to a world of pain!"

"Oh please, what can a Psyduck do to my Dragonite?" Iris smirked confidently, "Use Thunderpunch!"

Psyduck merely stood and took the hits, grunting in pain at first before gripping its head tighter than it normally did.

"That's it… just keep it up…" Misty muttered, Psyduck grunting as he withstood the attacks.

"Psy, psy, psy, psy, psy!" it grunted as Dragonite kept up the punches.

"What is she getting at?" Iris muttered, not aware of what Misty's plan was, "Whatever, let's just finish that thing off! Dragon Rush, let's go!"

Dragonite growled as it flew up into the air and became surrounded in a light blue orb with white streaks and it charged forward at Psyduck.

"Now! Use Psychic!"

Psyduck's eyes were shut as it grabbed Dragonite with a blue aura glow and began to smack it against the ground over and over again.

"Get out of there!" Iris commanded, but the grip of the Psychic was too strong for the large dragon to break out of as it was smack across the battlefield, "Try and use Dragon Rush to break free!"

The orb of energy surrounded Dragonite again as it was able to break free, but it fell to the ground due to the ice that was covering part of one of its wings that Staryu had hit earlier.

"Thunderpunch!"

"Oh no you don't! Use Disable!"

A red aura glowed around Dragonite and it caused the electrical energy to vanish.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Iris growled, annoyed that her Dragonite couldn't use that move before Psyduck trotted over and smacked it down with its bill, Dragonit being knocked out from the simple tap, "OH COME ON!"

-Dragonite is unable to battle, the winner is Psyduck!-

"That Psyduck certainly took quite the beating," Kota commented, "But it beat it… so… that's something,"

"Yea, but Psychic or not, that was a lucky deal. I'm sure Shocker would've been able to take that. Right, buddy?" Takeshi commented, with his Raichu nodding in response before they looked to the monitor with the battle between the Champions.

"Garchomp, use Dragon Rush!" Cynthia commanded.

"Gardevoir, use Psychic to stop it in its tracks!" Diantha added.

Garchomp charged forward and was able to claw its way past the waves of Psychic before trying to barge at the Psychic/Fairy type Pokemon. The attack made contact… only for Gardevoir to be completely unfazed.

"Right… Dragon type moves don't work on Fairy types… ugh…" Cynthia grumbled, Diantha smirking in response before Cynthia thought for a moment how to deal with the situation, "Use Brick Break!"

Garchomp then used the attack, slamming its arm fins down onto Gardevoir, who merely yawned at it.

"Perfect Poison Jab, now!"

Thus, the Land Shark Pokemon landed a clean super effective attack on Gardevoir, making Diantha grimace as her Gardevoir stumebled back a little bit.

"Clever," Diantha admitted.

Back over at Misty and Iris' battle, Axew walked back onto the field, preparing itself to battle.

"This'll be easy! Psychic, let's go!" Misty commanded, but Psyduck had lost its massive headache and looked confused, "NO!"

"Use Scratch!" Iris commanded, with Axew running over and gave a very small scratch, which knocked Psyduck out, "Yes!"

-Psyduck is unable to battle, the winner is Axew!-

Misty recalled Psyduck and smiled softly at it, "Nice work, buddy. Alright, Azurill, go on in again,"

Azurill smiled and walked over onto the field.

"Now then, use Bubblebeam again!"

"No you don't! Get in close and stop it from attacking!"

Axew dashed over and flung sand into the air to make it harder for Azurill to see where it was aiming.

"Use Water Gun to get the sand out of your way!"

Azurill nodded and did so, but Axew just kept up tossing the sand into the air. This caused Azurill to cough a little and start using Bubblebeam in any random direction. Axew dodged the bubbles and continued to kick up sand, but the Bubblebeam hit its mark. Axew screamed as he tumbled backwards and growled a little.

"Use Dragon Rage!" Iris yelled, with Axew taking a deep breath and firing out a blue orb of energy at Azurill… but it was completely unphased, "WHAT?!"

"Disarming Voice, now!" Misty yelled, with Azurill firing a large sonic soundwave at Axew.

"A Fairy type, huh? Well, luckily, we prepared for this," Iris smirked, "Get up close and use Poison Fang!"

Axew's jaw charged up with purple energy and it ran forward, chomping down on Azurill's tail, landing a super effective hit on Azurill.

"Don't let it go! Keep biting!" Iris commanded.

"Disarming Voice!" Misty yelled.

Azurill fired off the attack and both parties took a ton of damage from the super effective moves. Both Pokemon panted a little… before they both fell down.

-Both Pokemon are unable to battle. This match is a draw!-

The crowds gasped in shock as did Misty and Iris, both trainers going and picking up their Pokemon.

"Hey… good match," Misty smiled.

"You're not bad," Iris admitted, smiling back, "But you're quite the kid… physically, anyway. But… good match, regardless,"

Misty simply kept a smile on her face as a small tick mark appeared on the side of her head at that remark.

Pikatwig: Well… bet you didn't see that coming, did ya?

KKD: Nope. Not at all.

Pikatwig: There is a legitimate reason for why the match was a draw. If you've never read Pokemon Neo: Yellow Version, you should know… I don't really like Misty… I know I'm gonna tick off several fans with that statement, but she was a little bit… annoying at times. I like Iris just alright… but I know a lot of fans, I can name two specific people who come to mind but I won't, aren't exactly Iris fans. I knew I was going to tick off the fans someway… so, draw.

KKD: Fair enough.

Pikatwig: Now then… the Alola Vulpix and Alola Raichu and their trainers… their our main OCs, and I wanted to find a way to include at least Snowpix. And I see the Pokemon Neo: Yellow Version nod, with Raichu being called 'Shocker'.

KKD: Yea, and honestly, I really like Alola Raichu's design, so while I'll always be a Pikachu fan, and my Pokemon Neo: Yellow Version main lead will always have his Pikachu stay at that stage, I won't immediately turn a blind eye to Raichu anymore thanks to Alola Raichu. Who knows, maybe I'll have a future character have an Alola Raichu.

Pikatwig: ...you know, we haven't updated that story since… uh… can you check?

KKD: *looks it up* March 13th, 2014. Wow… my issue was pretty severe at the time for that. And that has had the most chapters of all my stories so far… completed, anyways.

Pikatwig: Heck, you reached a chapter milestone while we were working on it. ...and you said that you would update it after we finish an arc… and then there's an issue of there being nobody reading the thing being an issue… and the only person I knew for fact was reading it I don't have regular contact with anymore.

KKD: Not to mention my laptop having issues with linebreaks on Fanfiction. But now, I might as well announce it here. Coming soon, Pokemon Neo will be available to read on DA, so if you haven't read it or know someone there who hasn't, let them know and I'll get it posted daily at the quickest, weekly at the latest.

Pikatwig: That story is so much dang fun… we should get back to it one of these days… but let's stay with this story. Favorite part?

KKD: The cameos of both our OCs and the Alola Pokemon.

Pikatwig: Yea, that's cool. And for those wondering why we didn't have any characters from that game proper… well, we have no idea how the anime will even handle the Sun and Moon stuff. I do want this to be canon… well, as close to canon as a fanfic can be… so, our OCs had to be the stand-in for the Alola stuff. Heck, Alola isn't even named because reasons.

KKD: Yea, of course.

Pikatwig: Now then… Axew can't learn Poison Fang in the games and Azurill can't learn Disarming Voice in the games. Why did I do that? ...several Pokemon in the anime can use moves they can't learn at all in the games. A famous example that is pointed out is the episode 'Bulbasaur, the Ambassador' where Ash's Bulbasaur uses Dig, and Tracy even points out that fact. Professor Oak comments that sometimes, circumstances can help Pokemon do things they may not be able to do normally.

KKD: Not to mention that these days, Charizard can't learn Seismic Toss anymore, which he's ironically most well-known for using in the original anime.

Pikatwig: In fact… there was only one time I remember that Seismic Toss failed… against Brandon's Dusclops.

KKD: Ouch.

Pikatwig: I mean heck, that was one of the few times Charizard was beaten. Yea… Ash was dumb enough to use his power-house for the first round… yea…

KKD: To be fair, he was still relatively new at the whole Pokemon thing.

Pikatwig: That was Battle Frontier… that's Season 9 I think.

KKD: Oh…

Pikatwig: Let me check actually… *checks* Yea, it's Season 9.

KKD: Ouch… my bad.

Pikatwig: Whatever… people do occasionally make dumb mistakes… like Ash forgetting that Fighting Type moves do not work on Ghost types. ...yea, he actually said he forgot that fact in that episode. ...moving on… my favorite part is where we see the Alola Variants as well. Anything else to comment on? Other than tomorrow being something truly epic!

KKD: Not really.

Pikatwig: You do remember the cool thing, right?

KKD: Hmm… Oh! *bops self in the head* Duh! The Kalos League Finals!

Pikatwig: Please tell me you didn't actually forget that fact… *KKD is silent* Please tell me you didn't forget that fact. *KKD is still silent* You forgot, didn't you? *KKD nods* Ugh… *facepalms* And I'm supposedly the forgetful one...

KKD: Forgive me if life gets in the way of me remembering these things.

Pikatwig: Fine, fine, whatever. I'm not holding it against you… heck, I didn't even know today was Wednesday…

KKD: Right… anyway, I think that's it, right?

Pikatwig: End off time.

KKD: Jaa ne.

Pikatwig: Just Live More.
