You're The Reason

Dawn stood by the bleachers confused. She knew this could not end well.

"I may be just a waiter but I have a few surprises up my sleeve."

Ash could only stare, wondering what he could be talking about.

"Alright let's see what that surprise is." Ash replied grinning.

Kyan took a poke ball from his pocket and kissed it "I'm counting on you, come on out!"

A Emolga appeared flapping its wings and flying into the air. "Emol!"

While everyone else was just surprised and could only wonder what Pokemon that was, Dawn was squealing about the cuteness.

"That Pokemon is so cute! What kind is it? I've never seen it before." Dawn said clapping her hands excitedly.

Iris waved her hand unimpressed. "That's an Emolga, it's an electric type from Unova. I have one just like it."

"Oh you have a Unova Pokémon." Ash uttered.

"Surprised yet? I caught this Emolga myself."

"I see," Ash said as he glanced at Pikachu "you ready buddy?"

Pikachu ran to the middle of the stage "Pika!"

"Ash are crazy? Sending Pikachu out there like that! They're both electric types Pikachu is at an obvious disadvantage." Dawn yelled out.

Cilan quickly responded back with a "Even disadvantages could be used for a win."

"He knows what he's doing Dawn don't worry." Cheren said trying to reassure the girl.

Ash kneeled down to Pikachu's level. "You know what to do right?" and Pikachu nodded. "We don't know how strong the Emolga is so take it easy for a few turns okay?" Pikachu sighed but agreed nonetheless.

"Even though you know Emolga is a Unova Pokemon and an electric type you're really sticking with Pikachu?"

"I've never doubted my Pikachu before in my life and if he wants to battle then I'll trust his judgement."

"Pika-pikachu!"

"Whatever floats your boat then I guess."

Brock cleared his throat "Alright this three on three battle will begin. The challenger, Kayane, is using an Emolga. The defendant, Ash, is using Pikachu. You may begin."

Pikachu stood by around the field; ready for anything that could come its way but still glanced Ash's way awaiting instructions.

"You can go first." Ash said to Kayane and to Pikachu stated "You know what to do."

"Alright then. I'm warning you ahead of time that I am not holding back."

Ash shrugged "Didn't expect you too but it doesn't matter because you'll lose either way."

"We'll see about that." Kayane stated.

Dawn, whom was standing up in the front row was now really terrified for Pikachu's sake. Ash could be stupid but doing something like this? She felt bad for the poor mouse Pokemon.

"Dawn, you've seem to forgotten what Ash is." Mitari stated from her seat a few chairs from the freaked out teen.

"I haven't it's just that..."

"You don't want either of them to lose and you don't know who to root for?"

"No it's not that either." Dawn said with a shake of her head "I know Ash can win."

"Then what is your problem?"

"Sheesh someone's grumpy today." Dawn uttered as she sat down.

Ash glanced around the field noticing how Emolga was up in the air. Ash wondered what Emolga could be up to. He just hoped that the attack wouldn't be...

"Emolga Volt Switch!"

Ash sighed. Volt Switch as a first attack? Should have seen that one coming. Oh wait he did.

"Pikachu dodge using Quick Attack and then Iron Tail."

Pikachu noted how similar this Emolga was acting to the one Iris had, which could mean bad news for him if it turned out to be a female.

He sprinted across the field using its tail to increase his Quick Attack and then jumped on top of the Emolga before it could come completely down, hitting it as hard as he could with his tail which brought both of them to the ground.

"Alright Emolga we got him right where we want him, Attract!"

That stopped Pikachu in its tracks and he paled.

It was a female! Now what?

"Pikachu snap out of it and don't give her time to use Attract," Ash yelled out "Electro Ball followed with an Iron Tail now!"

Pikachu blinked once, twice and then shook his head to clear his thoughts and vision.

He focused straight on the ground and then jumped up a bit to get ready to fire up the attack.

He ran, ran, ran across the field and charged up, threw the big ball of energy into the air and slammed it with his Iron Tail sending it hurling into Emolga with sheer force.

Brock ran towards the field and checked on Emolga whom had swirls in her eyes and was seeing stars. "Emolga is unable to battle. Pikachu wins"

"Pikachu won..." Dawn said standing up. "Great job Pikachu!"

"Way to go Pikachu!" May yelled out

"You're awesome!" Melody also yelled out.

"Keep up the good work twerp Pikachu!" Jesse replied.

"Woah can't believe Ash is using combinations like that" Max stated impressed.

"And he's not even using his full power." Cilan responded back. "I think then you'd be really impressed."

Kayane sighed as he brought out Emolga's pokeball. "You did a great job, get some rest you deserve it."

"Your Emolga seems well trained." Ash noted "A little more training and she can get far."

Kayane glared at Ash "I don't need you to tell me what I already know."

Ash raised up his hands in defeat. "Look your Pokemon may be well trained but if Emolga is any indication the level they're at is one even my lowest leveled Pokemon can easily beat and I really don't want them getting hurt."

Kayane stared at Ash with a scowl. "Oh so now you're chickening away from the challenge?"

"That is not it at all."

"Pika-ka-chu!" the mouse pokemon yelled out to the defense of his trained.

"You're afraid."

Ash laughed "What?"

"Admit it. Once you saw Emolga, you knew you were not dealing with ordinary Pokemon and now you want the easy way out."

Ash's belt glowed red and Snivy materialized. "Sni-ni-snivy!" she said pointing fingers at Kayane.

"I wanted the easy way out why?" Ash said with a smirk evident on his face.

"That's a..."

"Oh look it's a Snivy. A Unova Pokemon right? I wonder what it could be doing here?" Ash said in a mock voice and when Kayane wouldn't speak he added "What's wrong snake caught your tongue?"

"You have a Snivy..."

"I think we already know that."

"So you have a Unova Pokemon too." Kayane said as he sat down in the bleachers, he was feeling a bit dizzy.

"My starter in the Unova region." Ash said proudly as he pet Snivy.

Kayane could only utter out an "I see," then he stood up and brought out another pokeball. "Alright then time to show Snivy just how badly grass can get burned."
