Krestner vs. Dracon
"Are you sure I'm the one you want to battle?", Dracon said as everyone else cleared the field. He looked at Krestner with those dragon-like eyes of his.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day to come", Krestner replied slyly. He seemed to have undergone a change. He seemed to grow about a foot taller than his 4ft 10in. His eyes looked determined and focused on the battle up ahead. Even his normally laid back pokémon looked ready for a fight. Ghost looked at Krestner and smiled to himself. This was a day for the the history books.
"Well then let's begin!" Dracon yelled. "Go Salamence!" His enormous dragon materialized from its PokéBall and roared loudly. Krestner pulled a Great Ball from his belt and threw it.
"Come on out and play Iggy" An Igglybuff emerged from the Great Ball and started hopping around. "Iggly!", it said and looked at Salamence.
"This will be three-on-three match between Krestner and The Dragon King, Dracon. Only the challenger is allowed to switch out. Let the battle begin!" the judge yelled out and he dropped his two flags. Dracon started the battle by ordering a Flamethrower. The powerful attack hit Iggy and he flew back into the stadium wall. He immediately began to cry.
"I'm amazed you're Igglybuff could withstand that. But don't get overconfident. Salamence don't be phased that's just a Fake Tears attack. Use Headbutt!" alamence flew headfirst at the little pokémon.
"I didn't expect you to fall for that little attack but hey it's a start. Iggy stop playing around get serious!" Krestner said. The little ballon of a pokémon stopped crying and dodged the Headbutt leaving Salamence's head stuck in the wall. "Iggy use Metronome" Iggy started waving it's small arms back and forth, back and forth. It suddenly stopped and used a Sheer Cold attack on Salamence taking it out in one hit. Everyone looked on, not believing what they were seeing and they were definitely not believing what they were hearing.
"Salamence is unable to battle. Iggy is the winner!" the judge said dropping the arm that held Dracon's flag. The only people who didn't seem surprised at what had just transpired was Dracon and Krestner. they both recalled their pokémon.
"I'll admit that was a pretty powerful little baby pokémon you got there. But lucky as you were to get an Ice Beam out of Metronome it won't do against my next pokémon. Go Dragonite!" An 8 foot tall orange dragon came out and stretched it's wings. "Well then who will be taking on my Dragonite?"
"Auron, let's show 'em how it's done!" Krestner's Lucario came out of it's PokéBall and stared down the Dragonite. He was at a serious height disadvantage. "Auron use Aura Sphere and follow it up with ExtremeSpeed"
"Dragonite, Focus Punch!" Dragonite hit the Aura Sphere which caused an explosion. That's when Lucario came in fast and knocked Dragonite out of the air. Dragonite got up with not even a scratch on it.
"Dragonite, use Dragon Rage!" The beam of energy rained down on Auron who seemed to take the attack head-on. "Follow up with Hyper Beam" The second beam attack came stronget than the first and caused another explosion. "That should do it just nicely Drag..." the Dragon King's voice trailed off as he looked and saw Auron still standing and glowing red.
"Use Mirror Coat now Auron." All of Dragoniter's attacks were sent right back at it with twice the power.
"Dragonite, use Protect" A bubble of green energy wrapped around Dragonite, stopping the onslaught cold. Dracon began to laugh which caught Krestner off-guard. " I can see that you're holding back, young man. Give it your all!!, he roared. "Dragonite ExtremeSpeed" Dragonite came at the Lucario insanely fast. At the last possible second, Auron moved out of the way of the attack and jumped up high into the air.
"Auron, Let's finish this with Bone Rush!" Auron created a long, slender bone out of blue aura and brought it down hard on Dragonite's head, fainting it. Again everybody was stunned as to what had just happened.
"Dragonite is unable to battle. Auron is the winner!" the judge said. Dracon let out another laugh that seemed to bring the audience back from their stupor. All except for the ringleader in the back. He looked pissed at the sheer power of Krestner's pokémon and the amount of strategic moves he was using. There was only one person he'd seen battle like this. That was the mysterious trainer known only as Nexus. The kid remembered his own battle with the unnaturally powerful trainer and the Tyranitar he used. It destroyed his Wailmer without even trying. He'd never forget those cold blue eyes that Tyranitar had. Krestner's probably been training with this guy, which means he's just been playing around with us. That's why he always lost with such grace. The only way I could beat this guy is if I do it without pokémon! he thought. While he thought of all of this, the battle had already gone into it's final stage. Dracon was using a very big Charizard and Krestner was using his Umbreon, Ghost. The pokémon were going at it strong. The day grew dark and slipped into the night. Ghost had just fired a barrage of Shadow Balls at the fire lizard. Charizard dodged and fired off a Flamethrower which scored a direct hit. Huge flames spread across the field as Ghost walked out of the fire unharmed! It lowered a green shield from around it.
"Did you really think I'd let you score a direct hit ithout even trying?" Krestner said. "Ghost , use Shadow Claw!" Ghost jumped up and slashed Charizard with a dark energy. Charizard hit the ground, making a a huge crater. Charizard retaliated with a Focus Punch that missed Ghost by mere inches.
"Well let's see what else you got in store! Charizard fly up and use Overheat!" Dracon roared. Charizard flew up high in the sky and unleashed a massive amount of fire from it's mouth.
"Ghost use Shadow Ball, rapid fire!" A barrage of Shadow Balls flew up and connected with the Overheat, triggering an explosion." I should probably stop holding back on you! Use Shadow Claw!"
"Focus Punch, Charizard" The pokémon connected in mid-air resulting in them both being thrown back several feet. "Charizard use another Flamethrower and follow it up with a Draco Meteor!" The flames wrapped around the giant meteor and came down hard on Ghost. Violent flames ran across the field. Charizard landed and roared loudly.
"Ghost, use Psychic!" Ghost burst from the ground and a blue aura surrounded him and Charizard. Charizard was thrown back into a wall and then into the ground and then back into the wall. The aura disappeared and Charizar got up badly injured. It's breathing was ragged and it's arm hung by its side. "I'm smarter!" Krestner yelled.
"Charizard, use Blast Burn!" Dracon roared. This is my last resort! he thought to himself. I won't lose to this child! Flames erupted from the ground and from Charizard's mouth culminating in a humongous fireball that flew towards Ghost. Many people covered their eyes and from the intense light. "Not even Mew could dodge this!" Dracon yelled his eyes glowing." Especially now that Blast Burn is even stronger thanks to his special ability Blaze!"
"Ghost wait for it." the attack got closer."Wait for it" It was almost upon Ghost. He could feel the heat from the attack. "Now Psychic!" Ghost caught the attack and threw it back at Charizard which hit it hard. When the flames died down, Charizard was on the ground unconcious. Half the crowd fainted, the other half fell anime style. The judge was one of those who fainted, but not before claiming Krestner as the winner. Dracon started laughing and walked over to Krestner and shook his hand vigourously displacing his suit jacket.
"That was an amazing battle. From what I heard from your teachers you shouldn't have been able to do what you did back there. Here I'd like you to have this." Dracon removed an a purple and yellow egg from a bag Krestner didn't see him pull out. " I found this out in the forests of the Sinnoh region a couple months ago. I may not know what pokémon it'll evolve into but i'm sure it will be safe in your care." Krestner accepted the egg and showed it to Ghost who didn't even show the least bit of fatigue from the serious battle it was just in. As a matter of fact it looked like it did when it walked in. Cool, calm, and collected. " You don't need to thank me it's the prize for officially beating me in battle. It's about time for us to be gone then. Goodbye young trainer we'll meet again in time." And with that all of the Elite Four members left the arena. Krestner left the arena satisfied with himself. He got about fifty feet from the arena when a voice behind him made him stop.
"Give me that egg, you little cheater!" the ringleader said. His gang was back at the arena. The ringleader was mad and in his twisted mind the egg should have been his. He ran towards Krestner fists raised. Krestner didn't even flinch. A second later the ground erupted in front of the kid. Dirt flew through the air and the ringleader fell to the ground suddenly scared. Standing before him was a Tyranitar. With cold blue eyes. The Armor Pokémon stood and stared at the kid on the ground.
" Hyper Beam now, Quake." Krestner said. A orange beam erupted from the giant green lizards mouth and blew the kid back to the stadium and into a wall. "That'll teach you to mess with me. Return Ghost and Quake" Red light shot from two PokéBalls and hit the two pokémon sending them back into their capture devices. "Draco let's go" A Salamence flew down from the sky and landed gracefully on the ground. Krestner climbed onto its back and the dragon took off and flew away into the night.
