Chapter 2

'Contribution'

"Sceptile! Leaf blade now!" Shouted Ash at his pokemon Sceptile, otherwise known as the forest pokemon sped forward with such speed that you could already see the air currents forming behind the excessively growing blade. The only expression you could make out from Sceptile's face was a confident smirk.

"Now use it on Torterra"

When Sceptile heard the command, he only smirked. While Sceptile was speeding towards Torterra, Ash commanded-

" Torterra take the atack alright! It will test your defensive capabilities. Now Infernape stop Sceptile's leaf blade with a flamethrower.

Staraptor, Swellow brave bird on Sceptile from both sides!"

Being attacked through three directions didn't even bother Sceptile the slightest bit.

'Now it's Sceptile's task to dodge three effective attacks, while trying to hit Torterra with a leaf blade, this way Sceptile's control, speed, maneuverability, durability and most of all his attack power will improve immensely ' thought Ash to himself.

'Infernape is no push over, he's my strongest fire type pokemon after Charizard. Also Staraptor and Swellow are extremely powerful and proficient at ariel combat' these were the thoughts that were spiraling in Ash's head right now.

'Can make it?'

"If you can do it, it will prove your superior speed" shouted Ash at Sceptile.

Just as Ash said those words, Sceptile shot forward with such speed that made the grass gecko seem like a blur

With amazing grace and flexibility Sceptile avoided the well aimed flamethrower by speeding forward in a zig-zag pattern, then by jumping from the ground the forest pokemon easily dodged both brave bird attacks that were done by Staraptor and Swellow.

Then with a battle cry "Scep- tile" Torterra was hit numerous times with a a fast-paced leaf blade , the initiated attack was so fast that it was impossible to keep track of all the cuts that were made. When the last attack was made Torterra fainted.

Even though Torterra had the best defense and endurance, Sceptile's speed and power was to much.

"Good job, everyone you have proven yourselves to be very powerful.

You did exceptionally well today Sceptile, as expected. You also were powerful out there Torterra, we just need to work a little bit more on your defense." Ash said to his pokemon.

"Well, everyone I have an important announcement to make"

Just as He said this, all of his pokemon gathered around Ash.

Ash looked at all of his pokemon, they were:

Inferenape, Sceptile, Vensuar, Blastoise, Charizard, and his newly evolved Garchomp, Glalie, Heracross, Floatzel, Crawdunt, Ferilgatr, Staraptor, Swellow, Pidgeot, Torkoal, Snorlax, Donphan, Tauros, Typhlosion , Bayleef and his best friend Pikachu, when he saw all his pokemon he couldn't help but smile.

"Everyone we all have trained on the most harsh conditions ever on Mount Silver, we all have training non-stop all year so we could be ready for the C.C.T. and now we're so strong that we could actually win. Now, are you all ready to participate?" shouted Ash

"Scep"

"Nape"

"Suar"

"Toise"

"ZARD!"

"Chomp"

With that you could hear a loud cheer coming from the pokemon.

"Pika pi"

"Oh, Pikachu, did you get the letter?

"Pika"

"Then let me see. Wow!" was the only thing that Ash said as he opened the letter:

Dear Mr Ketchum,

"Well this it, Silver City here we come"

"Pika pi"

"Go Charizard, take me to Silver city. we need to register for the tournament" said Ash.

Charizard only roared in agreement. With that Ash flew towards his destination- Silver City.

'I've trained seriously for the past one year, so that I could prove to the world that I have what it takes to win. My strongest pokemon is Charizard, closely followed up by Sceptile who's speed is unparalleled , then there's Pikachu his electrical power is way beyond his evolutionary level , Infernapes my attacker, while Torterra is my ultimate defense after that my anchor is Garchomp. They all have contributed there strength , with there determination and my preparation nothing will stand in our way.' Ash thought.

With those words said in his head, Ash raced towards the horizon.
