Well, this is going to be the first full on Pokémon battle, not like the quick battles that happened in the previous chapters. I'm talking full on combat between two powerful trainers. Hope you enjoy! Also a quick thanks to the amazingly awesome person and my Lady friend: D for some grammar tips.
"This is going to be very interesting." Dawn said while sitting on the sandy beach. She, May, Kiri and Dean were sitting on near the trees while watching Kite and Ash get ready for their fight. Brock was standing between them as the ref.
"Well I think Ash has the advantage because he's already seen three of Kites Pokémon already." Dean said while leaning on the side of a large palm tree.
"I've only seen two of them." Kiri said.
"Oh yeah, Ash and I think May know that he has a Gardevoir. Moon is one of his-." Dean to tell the three girls, but a loud sequel came from Kiri.
"HE HAD A GARDEVOIR!!??" She yelled, causing Ash and Kite to turn and stare at her.
"I heard it was a blue one..." May said. She was quickly grabbed by the shoulders by the yellow hat wearing coordinator and was shook around by her hands. A look of mass hysteria was on Kiri's face.
"A SHINEY? HE HAS A SHINEY GARDEVOIR?" Kiri looked like she was about to explode, or run over and tackle Kite.
"Ummm….just sit and watch." Dean said with a sigh. Kiri released May from her hold and turned to watch to two trainers.
Ash stretched out a little bit and dropped his hands to his poke balls (Sange: hehehe….balls. Author: QUIT BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL. Sange: Silence! This is my Fic!)
"Now lesse….how to start this off…I know!" He pulled out a single poke ball and threw it into the air. There was a quick flash of light and a large green lizard looking Pokémon appeared. It stuck its chest out proudly and placed a small twig in its mouth.
"SCEP!" it roared. Ash's Sceptile looked at Kite, awaiting him to send out a Pokémon.
Kite stared at the forest Pokémon for a few second and turned towards Sange.
"Want to beat something up?" He asked him innocently. Sange looked at him with an angry expression.
"I still have a Hangover you know…"
"No you don't, you're just lazy." Sange stuck his tongue out at him.
"Does that change anything at all?"
"Go in there…or I'll tell everyone what you do in your free time." Kite said with a grin.
"OH COME ON!" Sange yelled.
"I'm serious!"
Sange sighed and walked in front of Kite and looked at Ash's Sceptile. The tall green Pokémon stared at him for a second, sizing him up. Sange pulled out his pipe and lit it up, he let out a small puff of smoke from his mouth. The fighting/ steel type Pokémon then cracked both his knuckles.
"Match start!" Brock yelled and raised one of his hands. Ash made the first move.
"Sceptile, close the distance with quick attack and use leaf blade!"
The forest Pokémon quickly dashed forward, kicking up sand behind him. The leaves on his arms began to let out a green-white glow. Kite on the other hand, instead of giving a his Pokémon a command, merely said two words.
"Good luck!"
Sange grinned and clapped his hands together, when he brought his arms apart, a large crackling staff of energy materialized. Sanges bone rush staff was his best weapon.
"Why isn't Kite commanding Sange?" Dawn asked.
Dean laughed. "You really think Sange would listen to anybody?" Dawn quietly agreed.
Sange quickly spun the blue staff around his head. He let out another puff of smoke.
"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED." He yelled and jumped forward and slammed his staff down on Sceptiles glowing leaf blade. There was a loud 'KRACK' as the energy staff and leaf crashed together. Both Pokémon grunted under the impact. Sceptile quickly brought down his other leaf blade on his other arm in an attempt to catch Sange off-guard.
The fighting Pokémon quickly spun the other end of the staff upwards and batted it out of the way. He then back-flipped away and charged forward again with his staff low towards the ground.
"Sceptile use your leaf blades again!" Ash yelled.
"Careful Ash, you don't want to play CQC (Close Quarters Combat) with Sange." Kite yelled from the other side of the arena.
Sange jumped forward and swung his staff close to the ground to try and knock out the forest Pokémon's feet. Sceptile quickly jumped over the energy staff and brought his two leaf blades down. Sange barley managed to bring his staff up to block them, but the impact forced him onto his back. Sceptile let out a triumphant yell and slowly began to force his hands down.
Sange just laughed.
"In your dreams Lizard brains." Sanges hands suddenly began to glow.
"Scep?" The forest Pokémon said in confusion. Ash also looked confused, but he kept his wits to him.
"SCEPTILE GET BACK!" Ash yelled. His Pokémon tried to obey, but it was already too late.
"Suck on my focus blast!" Sange yelled and slammed his hands forward, his energy staff suddenly dissipating. A bluish blast of energy arched out towards the green lizard Pokémon, knocking him backwards and onto his back. Sange quickly spun his legs around in the air and hopped back to his feet. He took the pipe he had in his mouth and put it into his backpack. (In case I didn't mention it, Sange has a small grey backpack that he uses, even in battle)
"Sceptile are you alright?" Ash asked. The green Pokémon got back to his feet and nodded an affirmative.
"Ok, we can't beat him in the close combat, so let's see how good he is at the long range game. Sceptile! Bullet seed!"
Sceptile reared up and shot two dozen or so glowing white projectiles at Sange. The blue and yellow Pokémon quickly dived to the side, dodging them.
"Try again! This time spread them out."
Sceptile fired again, this time turning his head side to side. Sange stood his ground and spun his staff in front on him. In a blur of motion, the blue staff knocked several of the seeds away, but one blasted through his defense and hit him on the head. Sange grabbed his head and moaned.
"What's with you people hitting my head when I have a hangover!" Sange moaned.
"He's off balance! Quick! SOLAR BEAM!" Ash yelled.
"Aww crikey not this."
The yellow orbs on Sceptiles back began to glow with a yellow aura as sunlight was converted to pure energy in his body. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and a giant white blast of energy shot out and sped towards Sange. Sange quickly clapped his hands and a similar colored beam was fired out of his hands. Both attacks collided in midair, kicking dust and sand up all over the arena.
"Did Sange use Hyper Beam?" May asked.
Kiri coughed out a little sand. "Yeah he did, but why? He could have gotten the same effect with Aura Sphere."
The dust quickly settled to show both Sceptile and Sange looking a little more weaker. They both had grins on their faces.
"You're pretty powerful for an overgrown lizard…" Sange said in Poke speak so nobody would understand. Sceptile let out a noise that could have been a laugh.
"And your pretty good for a drunk, pipe smoking, sarcastic, anti-social beer-"
"Yeah yeah I get the picture!"
Ash too was grinning, Sange was pretty powerful.
"Ok Sceptile, let's use bullet seed again!" He yelled. White projectiles exited Sceptiles mouth and flew towards Sange. Sange quickly charged a turquoise ball in his hand and slammed it down towards the ground, kicking up a wall of dust and shielding him from the bullet seed.
"About time he used aura sphere." Dawn said.
"That was Dragon pulse, not Aura Sphere." Kiri said. She was wondering why Sange wasn't using his signature move; he could have easily beaten Sceptile already if he did.
While the dust was still in the air, Sange flew through the wall and within the blink of an eye; he was holding Sceptile by the throat. Everyone's jaw dropped.
"You're strong, but I'm stronger."
The talking Pokémon then, in an incredible display of strength, pulled the Forest Pokémon over his head and smashed him into the sand head first.
WUMPH
Sceptile fell on his back and was clearly knocked out. Sange feel on his rump and let out a deep breath.
"Sceptile is unable to battle, Kite is the winner."
Ash let out a low whistle.
"Man Sange really is strong." He started to return Sceptile to his poke ball. Just before he was sucked back into the ball, Sceptile opened one of his eyes and nodded respectfully towards Sange. Sange nodded back and gave him a thumb up. He got up and walked towards were the girls and Dean where sitting and he sat down on a fallen tree.
"Round two start!"
"Go Donphan!" Ash yelled, releasing his armor Pokémon who immediately let out a loud roar. Kite smirked, it was time to get involved in this battle now that Sange was done.
"GO AKI!" He threw out a ball and his small Cyndaquil popped out. The fire mouse Pokémon stood up on its back two legs and let out a happy squeal.
"Awww its so cuuuuuuute!" May and Kiri said. Dawn laughed and thought of her own Cyndaquil.
"Let's do this thing! Aki! Ember on the sand around Donphan!" The Fire mouse Pokémon jumped forward as the flame on its back quickly ignited and grew large. He opened his mouth and a few dozen flames shot out towards Donphan.
"Quick! Rollout and attack!" Donphan quickly rolled into a ball and flew towards the Fire Mouse Pokémon. A few of the orange flames hit the charging Pokémon, but he was able to ignore the pain as the full force of the attack went over his head.
"Quick, use dig!" Cyndaquil quickly dug a hole into the ground and disappeared in a cloud of sand. Ash groaned.
"Donphan, use defense curl, but keep on the move!" Donphan started to move in a zigzagging direction going both forward and backwards.
Kite waited patiently for a few moments.
Donphan continued to move around the field in different directions.
"LAVA PLUME!" He yelled. A few feet in front of the charging Donphan, the ground suddenly exploded to reveal a towering tower of lava (Sange: a towering tower??? Author:…..you don't want to play this game with me right now, it's three in the morning) It shot into the air and began to arc towards the ground.
"Donphan, Dodge it!" Ash yelled. The armor Pokémon quickly tried to adjust its course and managed to not roll into the main plume of lava. But some globs of lava still splattered across his hide. Donphan roared in pain and stopped rolling around. He quickly shook his body in an effort to remove any remnants of the burning material.
"Now! Flame-thrower, low-spread!" Kite yelled as his small Pokémon exploded out of the ground. He landed on all fours and opened his mouth.
"Hidden power to block!" Ash yelled. A group of blocks and circles formed around Donphan and flew towards Cyndaquil. Across the arena, the fire Pokémon opened his mouth and a huge plume of fire shot out. Everyone present shielded their eyes from the bright orange blast of fire.
"Good gravy that's a big flamethrower." Kiri said, using her hat to block her view of the bright flash.
There was a loud FWOOSH noise and then a loud bang. Everyone looked back at the battle.
"What the…." May said.
Aki was on the ground panting heavily, while Donphan looked only slightly scorched. Kites Cyndaquil slowly got back to his feet.
"Aki as all attack and almost no defense." Dean explained to the girls. "It's probably Kites most imbalanced Pokémon in terms of stats."
Ash, sensing victory was close, pointed for another attack.
"Rollout! Full speed!" Ashes Pokémon curled into a ball and sped towards the struggling fire Pokémon. Kite gritted his teeth; he already knew this fight would have only one outcome. Aki was simply full attack power and no defense. He really needed to work on that.
Might as well go down swinging
"Aki! Flamethrower again!" The flame on Akis back grew and he opened his mouth to fire a jet of fire at the rolling Pokémon.
"Go through it!" Ash yelled. Donphan rolled faster and disappeared into the flames of Akis attack. Everyone held their breath. Suddenly Aki went flying backwards into the air and landed in a heap. Everyone looked and saw Donphan, smoking and looking very tired.
"Aki is unable to battle, Ash win's this round." Brock said.
Ash jumped into the air "YES! Good job Donphan!" The armor Pokémon let out a triumphant roar before being returned to its poke ball. Kite grinned; Ash was as good as his file said he was.
"Time to finish this! GO MOON!" He yelled as he threw a black ultra ball into the field. In a flash of light, his blue Gardevoir appeared on the field and let out a small bow.
"OH MY GOD!" Kiri yelled and ran out towards Moon. She started cuircling around her, examining every feature that was on the Gardevoir while constantly saying how awesome she looked. Moon blushed.
"THIS IS SO COOL AND-ACK." Kiri was yanked back by Dean who picked her up and walked back towards the sidelines. Moon let out a small giggle and rubbed the back of her blue hair.
"Well….then, Pikachu! I choose you!" Ash yelled. Pikachu let out a yell and jumped of Ashes shoulder and landing on the sandy battleground. The two Pokémon Stared at each other.
"Final round, Start!" Brock yelled.
"Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Ash yelled. Pikachu quickly charged up electricity and fired it in a concentrated blast towards Moon.
"Counter with your own thunderbolt!" Moon held out he hands and also fired a yellow bolt of electricity. Both attacks collided in midair and created a small explosion.
"Quick attack!" Ash yelled. Pikachu quickly dashed forward and in the span of only two seconds, had crashed into Moons stomach. The embrace Pokémon let out a grunt of pain and almost fell onto her back, but she quickly managed to get back on her feet.
"Moon, CLOSE COMBAT!"
Everyone present gasped as Moon flew forward and let out a flurry of punches towards the electric mouse Pokémon. Pikachu managed to dodge a few of the punches but a single blue fin hit him in the face, knocking him backwards.
"How does moon know Close Combat?" May asked.
"It's not a true version of close combat, but I think Sange taught her some fighting stuff." Dean said.
"Why would she want to learn that?" Kiri asked.
"Her personality is like a tomboy."
Back on the field Moon went to a guard stance while Pikachu jumped back onto his feet.
"Moon, use psychic." Kite ordered. Moons hands began to glow.
"Oh boy, use Agility to dodge!" Ashe yelled. Pikachu took off at high speeds and began running in a zigzag pattern, much like what Donphan had done previously in the last battle. Every few seconds a large clump of sand was displaced as Moon attempted to grab the electric Pokémon. She was starting to frown from annoyance.
"Keep it up Pikachu!" Ash encouraged. Pikachu complied, but he could only keep moving at that speed for so long. Suddenly, a clump of sand under Pikachu was thrown upward, causing ashes Pokémon to trip. A blue aura suddenly enveloped Pikachu and he suddenly found himself suspended in the a few feet in the air. Pikachu tried to struggle, but found that the psychic force holding him was incredibly powerful.
"Moon, Hold him and use Hyper Beam!" Kite yelled.
"Oh boy…" Ash muttered, he tried thinking of a counter move as Moon adjusted her hands. A white ball of energy started to form between the two blue fin like arms.
"PIKACHU!! COUNTER SHIELD!" Pikachu quickly let out a thunder shock that enveloped him in a shield. Moon then fired a huge blast of energy that collided with the shielded Pokémon. There was a large explosion that managed to knock ashes hat off because of the wind. Pikachu went flying towards the ground, but he looked relatively unscathed. He landed on the ground and let out a confident grunt.
"Can I just use tempest and get this over with?" Moon said telepathically. She usually hated Pokémon battles, but when she did find herself in a battle, she used her colossal power to end the fight fast.
"No, I don't really want anyone to know how powerful you really are." Kite said in his mind.
"Then why use me? You know I can take out every single one of his Pokémon without breaking a sweat."
"I didn't want to use Journey for multiple reasons. Plus Sun and Brave are a tad…. well…."
"I understand. Want me to lose intentionally?"
"Knock yourself out."
"With pleasure."
"Pikachu! Volt Tackle!" Ash yelled. Pikachu dashed forward as an aura of electricity enveloped his body.
"pika-pika-pika-pika-pika-pika-pika-pika!" Pikachu started to chant as it ran towards the Gardevoir. Gardevoir merely put up a small green screen in front of her. Pikachu simply crashed through it and collided with Moon.
"YEEEEEEOOOOOOOW!" Moon yelled as she went flying backwards. She rolled backwards a few times and fell on the ground motionless. Pikachu threw up his hand in triumph. Ash jumped into the air.
"YES!"
"Moon is unable to battle, Ash is the winner!"
Pikachu jumped into Ash's arms and the two started jumping around in happiness. Kite grinned and returned moon to her poke ball. Sange, who was watching Moon, let out a small sigh.
"You have no idea how strong that crazy Gardevoir is…you got of lucky kid." He said quietly.
