Just to be clear, Author's notes are in bold, and thoughts are in italic. Dialogue is in quotations as usual. Here's Chapter 2. I don't have much to say, other than the fact that the battle will be concluded here. Enjoy
The break is now over, with both trainers please select their Pokémon?" The ref asked.
"Aegislash, I choose you!" Billy said. The dual ghost steel golden sword-like Pokémon appeared behind a shield.
"Riptide, engage!" Jake said, sending out a Swampert. It was blue, with two fins on its head, a large, fin-like tail, and had orange pads on its elbows and knees.
"Swampert versus Aegislash, begin!"
"Use earthquake!"
"King's Shield!"
Swampert slammed its arms into the ground, causing a huge tremor. Aegislash emitted a blue energy in front of it, protecting it from damage.
"Sacred Sword!" Billy commanded.
"Hydro Pump!" Jake yelled.
Aegislash suddenly changed forms, so that its shield was held in its hand and its blade was exposed. It relished towards Swampert, but it was hit by a powerful blast of water, dealing major damage because of its reduced defenses.
"Follow with mud shot!"
Swampert then shot a few balls of mud at the dazed Aegislash, hitting it again with the super effective hit.
I need to end this quick or Aegislash is out for good Billy thought to himself. "Use Shadow Sneak!" He said.
"Earthquake!" Jake countered.
Aegislash disappeared into the shadows and snuck up behind the Mud Fish Pokémon, dealing damage. Once he recovered, he once again slammed his arms into the ground, causing the ground to shake. Aegislash was hit reappearing from the shadows, unable to get back up.
"Aegislash is unable to battle, Swampert wins!"
"Another victory for Jake, leaving only two Pokémon left for Billy, compared to Jake's five. Will he be able to recover in time? Or will Jake's lead bring him the victory?" Said the announcer.
Damnit! I only have two left. Tyranitar is at a disadvantage, but I need to save Blastoise for last Billy thought to himself. "Alright, Tyranitar go!" He sent out a huge green, lizard like Pokémon standing almost seven feet tall.
"Tyranitar versus Swampert, begin!"
A huge amount of sand started to kick up, starting a sandstorm.
"Would you look at that folks, Tyranitar's sand stream really makes it hard to see!" The announcer said.
"Riptide, return!" Jake shouted. "Maverick, engage!" Jake sent his Garchomp back out, and it immediately vanished in the sand.
"And Garchomp's Sand Veil is taking effect! This is going to make it really hard for Tyranitar to see him!" The announcer shouted.
"Garchomp versus Tyranitar, begin!"
Shit Billy thought to himself, now Tyranitar can't even see his opponent. Tyranitar, use Earthquake!" He commanded.
"Maverick, into the air!"
Tyranitar stamped a foot into the ground, causing a massive tremor. However, it didn't seem like it did anything to the invisible Garchomp.
"Earth power!" Jake commanded.
All of a sudden, the ground beneath Tyranitar split apart and a yellow energy sprang up, dealing massive damage.
"I've always wondered why I taught him this move" Billy said to himself. "Use Sunny Day!"
All of a sudden, the sand stopped, and the sunlight got intensely brighter. Garchomp reappeared, showing it to be hovering in the air, a confused look on its face.
"Now ice beam!" Billy commanded, sensing an opening.
"Counter with flamethrower, followed by Earthquake!"
Tyranitar sent out a cold beam of ice, aimed directly at Garchomp. However, it was swiftly overpowered by the amped-up flamethrower. Garchomp then stamped his foot into the ground, causing a massive tremor. Tyranitar seemed like it was about to give in.
This is my only chance thought Billy. "Tyranitar Hyper beam!"
"Substitute!"
Tyranitar spewed a massive beam of orange energy at Garchomp, however he just simply faded away, revealing the real Garchomp to be in the air.
"Finish with Earth Power!"
Garchomp slammed his foot into the ground, causing it to split apart and radiate a yellow energy under Tyranitar, swiftly knocking it out.
"Tyranitar is unable to battle, Garchomp is the winner!"
And would you look at that! Jake has five Pokémon left as opposed to Billy's one! It certainly doesn't look like he'll recover from this one folks." The announcer boomed.
"Tyranitar return. Go Blastoise!" Billy shouted.
"Blastoise versus Garchomp, begin!"
"You ready?" Billy asked. Blastoise nodded in return. He touched a button on the watch-like object on his wrist. "Alright mega evolve, go!" He yelled.
Blastoise started to glow, and then had a spherical aura cover his body. He broke out, revealing to have a huge cannon on his back, as well as two smaller cannons on his arms.
"Use rain dance!" Billy commanded.
The sunlight was quickly replaced by dark rain clouds, and rain began to fall.
"Now Ice Beam!"
"Counter with flamethrower, then go into Dragon Rush!" Jake said calmly.
Garchomp sent out a massive flamethrower to counter the ice beam shot at him. However, the rain dance was still in effect, causing the flamethrower to be at only half its normal power. The ice beam was significantly stronger, causing it to overpower the flamethrower.
"Hydro Pump!"
Blastoise the shot out a huge blast of water out of the cannon on its back at Garchomp, who was speeding towards it like a bullet shrouded in a blue aura. Garchomp never made it. The hydro pump hit its mark, causing Garchomp to spin out of control like a disabled jet plane, crashing into the ground. He didn't get back up.
"Garchomp is unable to battle, Blastoise is the winner!"
"Maverick return," Jake said. "Thanks for everything, you were awesome." He pulled out another poke ball from his belt. "Riptide, engage!" The Mud Fish Pokémon reappeared, staring down his opponent.
"We'll folks, he's still a long way off, but with the increased power from mega evolving, Blastoise looks strong as ever! Can Billy turn this around and pull off an amazing comeback?" The announcer asked, excitement in his voice.
Swampert versus Blastoise, begin!"
"Blastoise water pulse!" Billy yelled.
"Block it with surf!" Jake countered.
Using the two smaller cannons on its arms, Blastoise senator out an orb of water, stronger than usual because of its Mega Launcher ability. Swampert, on the other hand, countered it by summoning a massive wave of water. Instead of sending it crashing toward his opponent, he held it in place, blocking the water pulse.
"Earthquake!" Jake yelled.
Swampert sent his arms crashing down into the ground, shaking the entire battlefield. Blastoise took damage, but seemed relatively undated by the attack.
"Blastoise use Aura Sphere!" Billy yelled.
"Counter with Superpower!" Jake ordered, a hint of desperation in his voice.
The cannon on Blastoise's back glowed, before sending a blue sphere of pure aura at Swampert, once again powered up from Mega Launcher. Rather than dodging the unavoidable attack like he normally would, Swampert followed his trainer's orders and hit the Aura Sphere with a glowing fist, causing a small explosion. When the smoke cleared, Swampert was still standing, albeit breathing heavily.
There's no way Riptide can defeat that Blastoise Jake thought to himself. But I know that all I need to do is weaken him enough so Blazer can get in there and clean up. It'll take the combined assaults of everyone to do so. He thought for a second longer. "Riptide mud shot, followed by your Hammer arm-Superpower combo!" Jake commanded.
Swampert obliged, shooting out mud from his mouth aimed at Blastoise's eyes, just like he had done before. He then ran up to the blinded Blastoise, slamming down his glowing arms, quickly following up with two powerful punches sending Blastoise staggering back. However, Blastoise quickly recovered, spraying a small stream of water to clear his eyes.
"Hydro Pump!" Billy said.
Blastoise sent out a massive stream of water, instantly knocking Swampert out.
"Swampert is unable to battle, Blastoise is the winner!"
"And it's another victory for Billy's Blastoise!" The announcer said excitedly. "He still has three Pokémon to go, can they win this in a turn of events?"
"Riptide, return!" Jake said, recalling his fallen Swampert. "You did everything I needed you to." He said. "Brain, engage!" He sent out a massive, four-legged Pokémon, blue in color. It had a large, gray X across its face with two deep, menacing red eyes. "METAH!" The Metagross said.
"Metagross versus Blastoise, begin!"
"Start out with a Water Pulse!" Billy commanded.
"Calm Mind, then Iron Defense!" Jake countered.
Blastoise sent out a powered up orb of water, aimed at the Metagross that was clearing its mind of all thoughts. Just as the orb was about to strike it, Metagross's Body gleamed a shining silver, protecting it from major damage.
"Bullet Punch, followed by Thunder Punch!"
Metagross tucked its legs in and shot across towards Blastoise, striking him in the stomach. As it made contact, its fist cackled with electricity, paralyzing Blastoise. He roared in pain.
"If you can move, use aura sphere!" Billy called, a worried look on his face.
Blastoise, with much effort, shot a powered up blue sphere brimming with aura or of its cannon. The shot went wide, but it swung around and struck Metagross in the back. However, it didn't seem to be hurt.
"Psychic, followed by earthquake!"
Metagross held Blastoise in place using its psychic energy, and then slammed its feet into the ground causing a tremor. Normally this would completely exhaust any Pokémon, but Metagross had four brains which allowed it to pull off the impressive feat.
"Paralyzed and being struck by a powerful attack did not sit well with Blastoise. With a tremendous amount of effort, he seemed to snap out of the paralysis, a look of extreme anger on his face.
"Hydro Pump!"
"Iron Defense!"
Blastoise launched a huge blast of water striking the now silver Metagross.
"Bullet Punch into Thunder Punch!"
"Skull Bash!"
Metagross shot forward towards Blastoise, who reared his head back. As Metagross's electrifying fist was about to make contact with Blastoise, he shot forward and rammed his head into the steel Titan, causing massive damage. Metagross still made contact, but it lost a lot of momentum from the hit. It broke away, panting heavily.
"Water Pulse!"
"Calm Mind!" Jake said, hoping to prevent the confusion effect.
As the powerful orb of water shot towards Metagross, it started to clear its mind of thoughts. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough. Metagross had a dazed look in its eyes, and just stood there. No one knew what was going on inside its head but Jake. He had a defeated look on his face as the Steel Titan collapsed.
"Uh, Metagross is unable to battle...?" The ref said with uncertainty.
"Basically what happened was Brain got confused," Jake started. "Inside its mind, it shut down its body to prevent damage to itself, kind of like an anti-virus program will on a computer. It'll be fine, but it's done battling for today," he finished.
"In that case, Blastoise is the winner!" The ref shouted, glad to know what happened.
"Brain return. Thanks, I might not even need Blazer now thanks to you." Jake said. "Shockwave, engage!" A quadruped sphinx-like Pokémon appeared. It was mostly black, save for a blue face, and spiky fur behind its large ears. It had menacing red eyes.
"Luxray versus Blastoise, begin!"
Shit! Billy thought to himself. I'm not gonna be able to beat him. Blastoise has taken too much damage from that battle. With Metagross. Still I wonder if the Blazer he was talking about is the same one that I've heard about.
"Let's finish this with Discharge!" Jake said.
That was all it took. Luxray sent out a powerful wave of electric energy, causing Blastoise to finally collapse out of pure exhaustion.
"Blastoise is unable to battle, Luxray is the winner and the match goes to Jake Smith of Littleroot Town!" The ref stated.
"Great job," Billy said as he recalled his Blastoise. "You were exceptional out there. I couldn't have asked for more." He turned to Jake. "Great match Jake!" He said holding out his hand. "You definitely deserve this victory."
Jake shook his hand. "It was. I hope I can battle you again some point. That Blastoise of yours really gave me a run for my money."
"Eevee!" Billy said.
"What?"
"Eevee! Eev eevee!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly the stadium disappeared, as well as Billy, whose hand he was still shaking. Then, ...
Cliffhanger! Although you can probably guess what happens after this. Next chapter will have more stuff leading up to the tournament, as well as the formal introduction of the main characters. I am now accepting submissions for OCs for the tournament. Rules: 1: Needs both first and last name. 2: no more than one pseudo legendary per team. 3: please try to be original, many OCs that are made in other fics usually have 2-3 of the same Pokémon, which can be a little boring. Regarding Mega evos, unless I decide that your OC has made it far enough, they won't be used. Tournament rules, but you'll see. Anyways, R&R!
