A/N: And here we go again! Another Chapter completed! I know it may not seem much to you guys but these things take forever to write, so it's so satisfying to see something like this complete. Anyways, I going to try and make it a habit of keeping these introduction brief so I'll let you go into the story. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Disclaimer: Just to be safe, I do not own any form of pokemon or whatsoever, I only own this story and its people.
Chapter 2: The Final Battle
The sun was about to set by the time I reach the final floor. Yesterday had been a short reunion with my friend Alex as well as a farewell to my past. Tomorrow will be the day I meet with my friends and family as well as leaving them for Kalos. But today will be the day I finally challenge the goal that I have been striving for all these years, defeating the champion of Sinnoh, Cynthia.
I open the door to a room that resides at the top floor of the cathedral. The room reveals a large but plain battle field, clean for the next battle. The room was wide and had a high ceiling. At both side of the court were large stain mirrors, showing the outside of the forest and sky.
Today, I had put on my usual cloths that I had bought for this occasion. It was a dark green jacket, light gray jeans, a light blue undershirt with a pokeball symbol on it, and a necklace with a leaf stone symbol on it. The room was empty and dark, aside from the somewhat orange and blue light that shown through the window above the stage.
As I walk up to the section of the court that I would normally be in for a battle, the lights that were off in the room suddenly turn on. This reveals a blond hair women dress in black clothing standing on the other side of the battle field. She gave me a welcoming glance as I met her gaze.
"Welcome," She announce raising both her hands up to her sides, "to the final challenge of the Sinnoh League! I've been waiting for this for a long time Kato."
"I can't say I feel the same way." I replied, "To be honest, I've been nervous of this moment from the very beginning Cynthia."
She gave me a small smile at my answer. "So how have you been? Have the other elite four members given you a hard time?"
"Nothing I can't deal with." I answer her simply. "But they were far stronger than all of the other normal trainers I've dealt with."
"I see." She said, "A couple of months ago, I had started to conduct research on the topic of Mega Evolution; though it still remains a mystery on how it works."
"Oh yea," I replied in realization, "I've heard about those transformation before but I never really got the chance to see it in action."
"Maybe once this is over, I can show you some of the researches that I have been studying on."
I gave her a smile at her suggestion, "Sure, I would love to."
"Then what of your pokemons?" She asked, "Do you still have the same six pokemons from your journey or did you change your team?"
"Yep, I still have the same six pokemons that I had throughout my journey. I don't need any other to win this."
"There is always the choice of resigning now and be done with all this," She commented. "Do you still wish to battle?"
"Too late to back down now."
"Very well then." Cynthia look to her left and a man that was standing on the side lines came up to the middle side of the court.
"This will be a battle for the title of champion between the current champion of Sinnoh Cynthia verses the challenger Kato from Twinleaf Town!" the referee announce. "The match will feature all six pokemons. The first trainer that loses all six of his or her pokemons first will be the decided loser of this match. Trainers, release you pokemon!"
"Let us begin this," stated Cynthia. "Spiritomb, battle dance!" Cynthia releases a pokemon out of its ball, revealing a purple spirit with green orbs circling within it. Its face had a wicked expression on it as if it was crazy.
"Let us show them how far we've come." I remark. "Our hearts are one, Rotom!" I threw out Rotom who has currently taken shape in his fan form, making him an electric and flying type. Rotom took the shape of a floating, orange fan with a grinning face at the bottom of it. I connected my mind to him with Esprit.
"You ready for this Rotom?"
"Don't worry boss, this poor imitation of a Gastly ain't got nothing on me." Rotom has always been like this. Loyal, but not in the way you would imagine. More of a weird way of it. He's a bit overprotective of me and would even come out of his pokeball on his own if somebody tries to threaten me, but other than that, he is a good companion.
"I see your Rotom has changed its form." Cynthia commented. "Come, show me just how strong you've become since the last time I saw you!"
The referee raised his hand in the air and brought it down in a forward motion. "Let the match begin!"
"Rotom, use Electro Ball!" The battle had begun. Fan Rotom immediately charged up a ball of electricity and launched it at Spiritomb.
"Intercept it with Shadow Ball." Commanded Cynthia. Spiritomb launch a ball of darkness and the two attacks collided, creating a small smoke screen as a result.
"Gain higher altitude and use charge beam!" Rotom floated above the puff of smoke and launch a yellow beam of electricity.
"Avoid it Spiritomb!" In a brief moment, Spiritomb flew out of the beam and rose to the same height level as Rotom. "Now use Rock tomb!"
"Cut them all down with Air Slash!" I cried out. Spiritomb summon and launch a volley of boulders and in return, Rotom sent out slashes of air to intercept them.
"Double team Spiritomb." Said Cynthia. Fake copies of Spiritomb started materializing around Rotom. "Now use Dark Pulse!"
"Keep on cutting him with Air Slash!" Rotom slice Spirtomb's dark plus and started using it consecutively, destroying the other clones in the process.
"Foul Play!" A dark aura began to envelope around Spiritomb's body and it charge towards Rotom. The two clash with a white slash and a black aura, both exchanging attacks midflight as they fight. But thanks to Rotom being faster than Spiritomb, he was able to keep up and avoid taking major damage.
"All right Rotom, change the skies with Rain Dance!" Rotom started summoning rainclouds from within the gym, causing it to pour inside the room.
"Rain Dance? What's he doing?" Cynthia quietly said to herself. "Use Rock Tomb Spiritomb!" Boulders were again summoned and launch from the spirit pokemon.
"Double Team Rotom!" Rotom made a quick buzzing sound, which I recognized as his laughter, and dozens of copies materialized around the battlefield, causing the rock tomb to miss. "Now use Charge!" The unknown Rotom started storing electrical energy within his body, preparing to unleash it for the next attack.
"I see what you're doing now Kato!" Shouted Cynthia. "And I won't allow it. Hide your presence with double team!" By now the whole floor was covered with copies of Spiritombs and Rotoms. "Now use Rock Tomb on the whole area!"
"Sorry Cynthia, but that won't work!" I said with confident as dozens of boulders were summon and flying towards my pokemon. "Rotom, finish it off with Discharge!" Rotom grunted and release a powerful wave of electricity in all direction, directly destroying all boulders and taking out all the fake Spirit tombs along with attacking the real one. Once the attack was over, Spiritomb fell towards the floor in defeat.
"Spiritomb is unable to battle." The referee stated, "The victory goes to Rotom."
"ALL RIGHT!" cried out Rotom which made me flinch. "Nice going out there boss."
"Thanks, but all of that wouldn't have happen if it wasn't for you Rotom," I messaged back.
"Aww, you don't need to be polite like that. No matter what there's nothing that can bring me down!"
I release the breath that I was holding and started smiling. Then I heard clapping from Cynthia herself.
"Nice moves Kato," She commented, "Great job using the water from Rain Dance and the extra power up from Charge to inflict massive damage onto Spiritomb."
"Well, it's not like I didn't come here unprepared." I told her. She nodded her head and brought out another pokeball.
"Return Spiritomb," She called out to withdraw her pokemon. "Now, let us fight together, Roserade!" Cynthia releases a green, plantlike pokemon with flowers for both of her hands, one blue and the other red. A green cape rested behind the pokemons back and had white hair the shape of a flower.
"Nice job Rotom." I said as I return my pokemon back into his poke ball. I grabbed another enclosed poke ball from my bag and expanded it. "Floatzel, come on out!" I release my next pokemon out; a tall, orange pokemon with a large, life vest like device strapped to its upper body. He had two blue fins connected to both of his elbows and two tails as well. Once he was out, Floatzel let out a loud roar to show his presence.
"Finally I'm out. What took you so long knucklehead I was getting impatient." Complained Floatzel as I connect our minds.
"You see that pokemon in front of you Floatzel?" I asked.
"What, you mean the little grass princess over there?"
"You think you can take her on?"
"Please, who the hell do you think I am knucklehead?" I smiled at his answer. I'm glad he still has his cocky attitude, despite it getting annoying some times.
"A grass type vs a water type? That is an interesting choice." Cynthia commented.
I smiled as Floatzel cracked his neck and got into position. Despite not looking much, Floatzel is known to be one of my heavy hitters. And thanks to Floatzel's Swift Swim ability, his overall speed has double thanks to the rain from Rotom. Cynthia will underestimate me if she's not careful.
"Let the next battle commence." The announcer called.
A soft gust of wind blew by, swaying the grass and trees from back to forth. The gentle sunlight covered the hills and land of the peaceful community of Twinleaf town. It was just another normal day for everyone, with people and pokemon roaming the landscape doing their business. But it was a tiring day for a certain brown hair boy who was currently standing underneath a tree with a drink, relaxing within its shade.
"Brian!" shouted a joyful voice which cause the boy to jump in surprise. He looks around for the person calling him and spotted another light brown hair girl, running and waving towards him with a smile.
Another smile began to form on the boy's face as the girl came closer. "Hey Sophie! Whatcha doing here-" He was soon interrupted as the girl tackled him down with a hug, laughing in the process.
"Hey contest girl," Brian said with a hit of laughter, "how have you been doing?"
"Amazing! I'm so glad to see you again after all this time!" Sophie said enthusiastically as she step backed.
"Well, welcome back to Twinleaf Town. When did you get here?"
"I just arrived a few minutes ago. Has anything changed much since the last time I was here?"
"Nope, everything is still as ordinary as ever." Brian replied.
"Yeah, I guess it's not bad nothing is really different," Sophie stated as she looks around the town. "But can you really believe that Kato is finally coming home after all these years? I can't wait!"
"Wait, what?" Brian said in a confusing and surprising tone. "What do you mean Kato is coming back?"
"Well, didn't you receive the messages he left us on our pokètech?" She answered showing her pokètech watch to Brian. "He made an announcement that he will be returning back home and wants us all there for a reunion."
Brian scans the message on Sophie's watch. "No, I never got any message like that."
"Well, I checked with Anna and she already got the message before I did." Then Sophie narrowed her eyes and said, "Where you two fighting again?"
"Well…" Brian stated advoiding eye contact from Sophie.
"Brian!" Sophie shouted hitting him on his head. "You can't just stay mad at him after all that he went through. Even if what he did in the past was the wrong decision, that was years ago."
"I know," sigh Brian while rubbing his head. "But it's just that he hasn't even bother to visit nor see his family after all this time. Though, once he comes here, he is going to be real surprise at what he finds."
At the thought of the idea, Sophie lost her frown and replaced it with a wide grin. "Yeah he is; I can't wait for Kato to finally meet her! Oh, just imagine his face when he comes home!"
"By the way," Brian question, "If everyone is coming here for a reunion, then where are they now?"
"Well," Sophie began, "Jacob is in Hoenn on some kind of business trip while Anna is in Unova for some kind of performance, so I don't know if they will be coming or not. I don't know where Brand is but Alex said he's coming. We all were supposed to come here tomorrow but I wanted to arrive a day earlier to settle in."
Brian exhaled a breath. "Well, in that case why don't you come over to my house for dinner? We're having curry tonight."
"Sure why not," replied Sophie, "Later though, I want to see Kato's family again to see how they're doing."
"Where is the guy anyway?" complained Brian. "What's he doing that would make him want to go home after all this time?"
"Roserade, use Magical Leaf!"
"Avoid them all with Dig!" Roserade launched dozens of purple shaded leaves at Floatzel, who in return dives deep into the earth to dodge it.
"Stand by Roserade and prepare for his next move." Commanded the patient Cynthia. A few seconds went by with only the rumble in the earth as the sound; Roserade stood still, waiting for her enemy to come. In a second, Floatzel erupted from the ground behind Roserade, attempting to strike from behind. But to my surprise, Roserade just as quickly steps out of my pokemon's path without even looking.
"Now use Energy Ball!" yelled Cynthia. As Floatzel tumble back from his last attack, a green ball of energy was already flying towards him.
"Floatzel, knock it away with Brick Brick!" Swiftly, Floatzel's left arm began to glow white with energy and he backhands the attack away from him, causing a small explosion to the side.
That was quite impressive. Cynthia's pokemon has some pretty sharp reflexes to dodge an attack from that range. Even with Floatzel's Swift Swim speed Roserade had no trouble predicting his moves. If I want to beat this pokemon, I'll have to finish it quickly with a surprise.
"Floatzel, get in close and use ice punch!"
"Counter with Bullet Seed!" Roserade started shooting out a barrage of seeds towards the water type pokemon, but thanks Floatzel's speed, he was able to close to gap and dodge the spread.
"Roserade, use Poison Jab." The flower pokemon met Floatzel's ice encase fist with a poisonous one. The two pokemon began to trade blows of ice and poison. While Floatzel was faster, Roserade had far better reaction time and could easily keep up "Now use Magical Leaf!" repeated Cynthia.
"Gain some distance!" I cried out. As Floatzel hurriedly shift backward, leaves with a purple aura were sent flying towards him.
"There's no way for you to dodge a magical leaf Kato." Stated Cynthia as Floatzel began to ran from the leaves, "No matter how much your Floatzel avoids the attack, Magical Leaf is a move that will never miss." And she was right, as my water type pokemon began to side step and evade, the purple leaves would simply pivot and try again.
A swarm of leaves began to surround Floatzel. Eventually, a couple of the flying leaves manage to hit Floatzel at his sides, grunting from the pain. Thankfully, he was still able to continue to dodge most of it with his speed. I needed think. I know Cynthia is expecting me to use dig again to get out of this attack like last time, so I can't risk using it if she's planning to set me up.
"Floatzel, it's time to go faster with Agility!" With that, a white aura started to surround Floatzel and his already insane speed rose again. This time, my pokemon's movement became fast enough of moving faster than the projectiles. But no matter what happen the magical leaves still flew.
"If you want to be like that then I'll just add some more." Declare Cynthia, "Now Roserade, keep on using Magical Leaf!" The flower pokemon then sent out more purple shaded leaves toward the water pokemon, making it seem as if it was a magical leaf storm.
Now I was in trouble. I tried thinking to myself and I was tempted to use my Esprit, but then I remember that I promised myself that I wouldn't use it in battle for the Elite Four. Frustrated with myself, I decided that out best choice would be to reveal Floatzels little new trick.
I thought it all over before deciding and yelled, "All right Floatzel! Let's show them what you've been training for all this time." Floatzel quickly look over to me and gave a cocky grin.
"About time!" the water type said. "These leaves were getting really freaking annoying!"
I scanned the area around Floatzel as Cynthia gave me a skeptical look. Once I finally saw an opening in the leaves, I quickly went into action. "Floatzel, fly with Aqua Jet!"
In a confident motion, Floatzel surrounded his body in a water aura and shot straight up towards the sky. The magical leaves turned to follow him, but this time Floatzel has more space dodge thanks to aqua jet allowing him to fly briefly. With another boost of speed, the leaves were too slow to catch up thanks to Floatzel's further enhance aqua jet speed.
"He's using aqua jet as a flying mobility move?" Cynthia question to herself.
I gave a small smirk at the battle. "Now, get behind Roserade and use her as a shield!" In a quick flash of water, Floatzel suddenly disappear then reappear behind Roserade, grabbing and pulling both of her arms behind before she could react.
The flower pokemon grimace in resistance but was unable to move and was force to tank her own magical leaves as they came flying back towards her, failing to hit Floatzel.
"Now use Ice Fang!" I called out. The jaws of my pokemon became envelope in ice and was then brought down on Roserade's shoulder. The grass type struggle desperately to get out by was unsuccessful.
"Hurry and use Energy Ball on the ground!" Called out Cynthia with a hint of panic in her voice. Using one of her arms to shoot, Roserade exploded the ground with her attack, separating the two in the process. "Now use Magical Leaf again!"
"Aqua Jet offensively!" Before Roserade had time to use her move, she was hit by Floatzel's dash attack. "Don't leave her room to attack. Keep at it with more Aqua Jets!" Like the magical leaves from before, Floatzel zip around the battlefield with his water dash, hitting the Roserade repeatedly and preventing her from attacking.
"Roserade, attack in all direction with Leaf Storm!" In an act of rage, Roserade let out a roar and sent out hundreds of powerful leaves in all direction. The water type pokemon stopped his consecutive attack and switch to an evasive tactic.
"Dig then Ice Punch!" I yelled out to my pokemon. Quickly digging into the earth, Floatzel suddenly appear below Roserade from the ground. With his fist covered in an icy aura, Floatzel sent his punch in an upper cut fashion, dealing a direct hit to the flower pokemon and launching her up in the process.
Roserade fell with to the ground, fainted from the impact. "Roserade is unable to battle. Floatzel is now the victor of this match!" Announce the referee.
"Amazing speed." Commended Cynthia clapping, "With all that speed power up from the rain and the aqua jet, not even my Roserade could react."
"Thanks, since my Floatzel was never really a defensive type, I focus almost my entire time training his speed and strength. Although, if he had taken another direct attack from you again, the battle would have been over for me." Floatzel in response turn back to me with an annoyed look.
"Please," He complained in a cocky tone. "Have a little bit more faith in me. I could have tanked another hit or two."
"Only two? That's surprising."
"Hey! I can be humble sometimes." I giggled at his answer.
"Return Roserade." Cynthia commanded and returns her pokemon back into her ball. "You have already overpowered two of my pokemons while I have defeated none of yours. I will have to change things up a bit then." Cynthia pulled out a third poke ball from her belt.
"Take a break Floatzel." I called out, mimicking Cynthia and drawing out another poke ball from my bag. "All right, let's do this again." With that we both released our pokemon into the battle field.
"Flygon, show em what we've got!" I exclaimed, letting out my pokemon.
"I request your aid Lucario!" said Cynthia.
Flygon is a large, green dragon pokemon with wings and eyes that have some attributes of a flying bug. Despite her appearance, she is actually a ground-dragon type pokemon rather than a bug-dragon type. After getting out of her ball, Flygon stretched out her body and looked towards me with a nod, a sign that meant we would communicate. I connect our minds with Esprit.
"Have you develop a plan for this youngling?" Flygon asked in a serene voice.
"Kind of, but that won't matter against a opponent so versatile." I said looking at Lucario. "I wasn't playing battling him so soon. Making plans may help, but it won't guarantee the victory.
Lucario took on a hound like appearance with blue and black fur with a soft yellow color fur in his center body area. He stood up on his two legs and had three mini spikes on his body. One on each hand and a small spike at the center of his chest. Lucario, being a fighting and steel type pokemon, was a well-known and powerful pokemon to many people in Sinnoh. This will be a challenge.
"Are you ready for this Kato?" Cynthia asked with a confident tone.
"Bring it on; I can do this all day, kind of." I said feeling a bit of anxiety for this battle, knowing just how capable Lucario was.
"Worry not youngling, I shall fight with my full potential." Flygon said feeling my concern.
The referee came up again to the side of the court. "May the next battle…..Commence!"
"Lucario, use Ice punch!" Like Floatzel's battle from before, Lucarios fist became encrusted in a glowing blue ice. Quickly, he dash straight across the field with his opponent in his sights.
"Flygon, defend yourself with Dragon Claw!" As the fighting type pokemon ran in close with his ice fist, both of Flygons claw expanded out into a green energy attack and shielded against the onslaught. Despite ice type attacks being very effective against dragon type pokemon, Flygon manage to withstand the attack.
"Lucario, keep at him with high jump kick!" commanded Cynthia. Adjusting his footsteps and putting on a fighting stance, Lucario's right leg began to glow white with energy. In a quick motion, he leapt towards Flygons left side and attempted to strike him over the head. Unfortunaly, Flygon adapted to Lucarios movement and was able to block and counter with his dragon claw, pushing the opponent away from him.
"If you're just going to stay on the defensive, that's fine by me." Cynthia stated with a smirk as Lucario quickly recover from the last move without fatigue. "Now, hurry and use Ice punch consecutively!"
This time, both of Lucarios hand became envelope in ice and began to swing them constantly onto the dragon claw barrier. Soon afterwards, one of the ice attacks manages to break apart Flygons defensives. With that, the fighting pokemon loaded another ice punch attack, preparing to end the match as quickly as possible.
A gave away a small smile as I put my strategy into play. "Earth Power!" I quickly command. By just simply smacking his foot onto the floor, Flygon summoned a fiery explosion to erupt from the space between him and his opponent. Catching Lucario by surprise, the canine pokemon was force to take the explosion; resulting in pushing him back once again.
It was a simple trick that I use against many heavily offensive pokemons throughout my journey. Keeping on a sturdy defensive until an opening comes up to exploit. Cynthia's Lucario did not look happy when he recovered from the blast thanks to the ground type move being super effective against a steel type pokemon.
"All right Flygon, keep at him with Flamethrower!" Flygon took in a sharp inhale and launch a fire beam towards Lucario.
"Dodge and use Aura Sphere!" Lucario quickly avoid the attack with a series of flips and somersaults. On his final jump, Lucario forged a dark blue sphere of energy and threw it at my Flygon.
"Intercept it with Fire Blast!" I called out. With a fiery attack shot out, a semi large explosion erupted as the fire and aura projectile collided, leaving a clump of smoke to fill the center of the field.
Cynthia took the opportunity of the smoke, "Quickly use Ice punch again!" Emerging out of the smoke in the air was Lucario with an ice fist attack besides him.
"Flygon, use dig!" Before the ice attack could connect, Flygon went and dove deep into the ground.
"Lucario, stand by and get ready to-" Before Cynthia could even finish her sentence; Flygon pulled a fast one and erupted from the ground behind Lucario, surprise the canine pokemon.
"Dragon Tail!" I exclaimed. The tail portion of Flygons body began to glow in a light green energy. Using his powerful wings as a means to rotate, the dragon pokemon began to quickly swing his body to his right, smacking the Lucario with his tail in the process and launching him directly into the side seats on my left.
"Nice job following with the attack Flygon!" I commented with glee, glad that the attack had gone very smoothly. Flygon show out a happy smile, placing a hand behind his neck in a manner as if to say she didn't deserve the praise. But with that, Lucario emerged from the seats with a cocky smile, very eager to continue with the battle. "Your Lucario is quite resilient Cynthia."
"Oh don't worry Kato," Cynthia said in a confident voice, "My pokemons have plenty more tricks up their sleeves. Lucario use Bone Rush!" Lucario clapped both of his paws together and summoned a light blue bone; using said bone as a weapon in the style of a staff.
"Flygon, go on the offensive with Dragon Claw!" Cynthia's pokemon rushed in quickly, preparing to hit Flygon overhead with his blue bone. As that happens, Flygon extended his claws in green energy and they clash furiously. The ground shook as the force of Lucarios bone rush connected with Flygons dragon claw.
They both were evenly matched as they trade blows and deflect attacks with each other. Soon, both of their attacks were lock together, one attempting to overcome the match with strength alone. Once that happen, I saw another opening appear.
"Flygon, use Fire Blast!" At point blank range, Flygon surprised Lucario again by shooting a fiery explosion at him which knocked both combatants back. To my surprise, Lucario was still able to defend against the attack by shielding himself with his arms, but it still looked like he suffered damage.
"All right Lucario," Cynthia said, "It's time to go all out! Sword Dance!" Lucario raise both his arms in a stance and images of swords materialized around him, sharply boosting his overall attack power.
"Flygon, end it quickly and use Fire Blast." Another fiery projectile from Flygon was shot towards Lucario.
"Now, use Extreme Speed!" stated Cynthia. At a rate where only my Floatzel could compete in, Lucarios body became surrounded with a white aura and he quickly dodge the fire blast. Before anyone could even react, Flygon was soon assaulted by a series of high speed dash attacks by Lucario. Each attack threw Flygon off balance, making it difficult to adjust to his movement.
Thanks to the added boast in strength with sword dance, Lucario was able to inflict massive damage while still retaining a speed advantage. Cynthia is quite the scary and powerful opponent when you actually see her go all out. I guess that why she is the champion of Sinnoh after all. I need to act fast before things goes south with my pokemon.
"Flygon, stop his attacks with Earthquake!" I cried out.
"Propel yourself into the air Lucario!" commanded Cynthia quickly. Frustrated with all the attacks, Flygon slammed his fist onto the ground and shook the floor. Even though the attack stopped Lucario's assault, the aura pokemon was still able to quickly jump high into the air to avoid the impact. "Now finish it with Ice Punch!"
Falling down from the air, Lucario charge up another ice punch in his hand and prepared to strike it onto Flygon.
"Get out of there Flygon!" I said with a panicky voice. Flygon attempted to fly backwards with his wings, but he was unfortunately too slow and Lucario was able the punch him over head. Flygon let out a loud grunt of pain as the ice attack took its toll and push him back.
Thankfully, the long training we did on top of Mt. Coronet had made my pokemons more resilient to the cold thanks to the mountains harsh cold weather. But even with that, Flygon was breathing heavily and was slouching, indicating that she was barely hanging on.
"Don't let her recover," said Cynthia urgently, "Keep at her with Force Palm!" Lucario charge at him again with a palm covered with powerful energy. Still being too tired to move, Flygon was force to take the force palm directly, knocking the green dragon across the field once more.
With a thud, Flygon landed onto the ground, fainted from all the fighting. "The challenge's Flygon is unable to battle," announce the referee, "Lucario is the winner!"
Lucario jumped back to his master, where Cynthia congratulate him in his performance.
I let out another deep breath in anxiety as the intense battle came to a close. I walk up towards my pokemon and started to pat her neck, but she still looked at the other direction. "You did amazing Flygon." I comfort despite her disappointing face. "Seriously, you stood up and held your own against one of the most powerful pokemon in the region. You should be proud of yourself for getting this far."
Flygon look toward with a sad expression, but nod as she understands my comfort. I could tell she wasn't in the mood to talk so I let her be.
"Here, take a break from the battle for a while. Don't worry, we having lost yet." I said with a gentle smile. I brought Flygon back into his ball and saw that Cynthia had done the same with her Lucario.
"So what's next?" She asked after she returns her pokemon, "Which pokemon are you going to pull out this time?"
I brought out my fourth poke ball from my bag, "Get ready and give it your all," I whisper to it. "Go, Volcarona!" I sent out Volcarona, a large white and red moth pokemon with six red wings on his back to keep him afloat. A little black head with blue eyes appear out of the massive clump of white fur at his upper body. Verona was a rare type of being fire and bug, making him an extraordinarily unique pokemon. He was known to be a very powerful and interesting pokemon as his kind were never native to Sinnoh. But thanks to a certain friend, I was lucky enough to get him as an egg during my adventure.
"Welcome again young master." Volcarona said with a deep and raspy voice.
"All right Volcarona, are you ready for whats to come?"
"I am at your side till the very end. Let us see what the champion of Sinnoh can do against me."
"An interesting choice." Cynthia said with an unimpressed tone but still had a smile to it. "But I'll do you one better. Come, Milotic!" Cynthia released out a beautiful and elegant pokemon out with a serpent like appearance. Her upper body was like the color of the sand and a tail with the design of the sea. A pink row of hair covered the back of her neck.
Milotic was another well-known pokemon within Cynthia's party and one of her most used pokemon in battle. And what made it worse was that Milotic was a water type; meaning my Volcarona is going to have a tough time at this battle. Still, a tough battle may be nerve-racking at its fullest, but it also can be the most exciting battles too.
"Let the next battle commence."
A/N: I don't know if this is a common thing or not, but I feel like it's a lot harder to write action scenes oppose to regular story scenes in general, so maybe that's why this chapter took so long to write. Anyhow, if you're reading this at the end then I am so glad and thankful you took the time to read my story. So Thanks!
For the question of the chapter, let's go with something non pokemon related this time like "What's your favorite show/anime/cartoon to watch?" I don't necessary have a favorite but I do love the show Avatar the Last Airbender. Just the overall world itself of it feels amazing the watch along with the awesome characters.
Next chapter will again feature more action in it but I can guess you can tell why. My main purpose of writing these battles were to introduce all of the pokemons that Kato has. Since each of his pokemons could communicate with him, I had a lot of fun making all their personality and how they work and react to Kato.
Okay well I hope you liked this story after reading it. Please review it could help me a lot with my production time and thanks for everything.
Take Care :)
