Author's Notes: Thanks to all who reviewed. Here's chapter 2. I hope you all enjoy it.
I will be responding to reviews here.
Shadowlord XD: I know that I dropped pikachu, but I wanted Ash to be a powerful trainer, like Tobias. And to become a powerful trainer, his pokémon should be able to use a variety of attacks. And I remembered dragonite. I hope you'll keep up with it.
Hurr1cane: If you want to know where Ash has the legendary pokémon from, I really didn't think about it. But you can assume that Dratini was his starter, he got mew after the first movie, Zapdos after the second movie, Suicune and celebi after the 4th movie and ho-oh… well, I quite don't know. Ho-oh didn't appear in any movies and just appeared for 2-5 seconds in the anime for 2 or 3 times.
Shadow wolf fang: Now I think about it, you're right. I'll try my best to describe everything from now on.
x-AZTEC-x: Yes, I got this idea after seeing Tobias.
LightRayPearlshipper: Hehehe, well, it's pretty obvious from the title and the characters in it.
Now, the main plot isn't the battles or the Johto league. You'll just have to wait. With that done, let's get to the chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own pokémon.
The Weather Trio: The Legend Repeats
Chapter 2: The Opening Ceremony and the Preliminary Rounds
6 days later…
It has been 6 days since our heroes reached Mt Silver, the home to the Johto League. Ash has been training since then and had also informed the other pokémon that he would need them if dragonite ever gets defeated. They all agreed to show up whenever he calls them.
Ash was sleeping in his room when Brock entered and sweatdropped at the site.
"Ash! Wake up!" Brock yelled.
"What!? What happened!?" Ash asked him worriedly.
"Nothing happened. I just woke you up." Brock sighed.
"What? Couldn't you wake me up a little bit nicely?" Ash asked him again.
"No. You wouldn't wake up like that." Brock chuckled. "Anyway, did you forget that today is the opening ceremony of the Silver Conference?"
"I remember it like the back of my hand." Ash replied and got up. "Okay, I'll get ready."
"Sure." Brock said.
"Where's Misty?" Ash asked him.
"She's waiting at the stadium." Brock answered him.
"Right. Let's go!" Ash shouted.
They made their way to the stadium and were surprised to see a crowd of around thousand people.
"Whoa!" Brock said, amused. "It'll take ages for us to get inside."
"Hahaha, I don't need to go along such trouble. All the participants have to go inside through there." Ash pointed to another gate from which all the trainers were going.
Brock sighed. "Okay. I'll meet you later." With that, Brock joined the large crowd who were trying to get inside.
"Right." Ash said and made his way to the trainer's entrance. When he reached inside, he looked around and was surprised. It was a large stadium with a big screen on the top. A number of around 500 people were seated in the stands and many more people were making their way inside.
An athlete ran inside holding a torch with a flame on it. He ran to the center where a bigger torch was located.
"And it's the flame of the legendary pokémon, ho-oh!" The spectator shouted over the microphone.
'Ho-oh huh? I see that flame every often.' Ash thought to himself. The athlete lit the torch with the flame and it burst into life.
The president of the Pokémon League, Mr Charls Goodshow emerged and the crowd cheered.
"Greetings to everyone!" he yelled over the microphone. "It's an honour to be here in the presence of you all. Firstly, I congratulate all the trainers who made it this far. There are over 200 trainers participating this year and only one could emerge victorious. So, who'll it be?"
'Of course it'll be me.' All the trainers thought to themselves.
"The preliminary rounds will start today and each trainer will battle 3 other trainers. And only 48 trainers will qualify for the next round. If you lose even a single match, you'll be disqualified. Go to the Pokémon Center to know the time and date of your battles. So, let the tournament begin!" At that, the entire crowd erupted into cheers. Ash walked off to the Pokémon Center. He met up with Brock and Misty on the way.
"I hope I have a battle today." Ash said aloud. "I can't wait to battle!"
"Yeah, otherwise you'd keep annoying me." Misty sighed.
"Hey! Stop it!" Ash yelled. They reached the Pokémon Center and attracted Nurse Joy's attention. "I'm Ash Ketchum and I would like to know the date and time of my battles."
"Wait a minute…" Nurse Joy searched the computer. "Let's see… You have two battles today and one tomorrow."
"Great! What's the timing?" Ash asked her.
"You have a match in an hour on field G and one on field A at 5:00 pm today." Nurse Joy told him. "Tomorrow, you have a battle at 10:30 am on field K."
"Okay! Thanks Nurse Joy!" Ash ran outside.
"Wait, Ash! That kid… he's in such a hurry." Misty pouted.
"Well, he's always like that when it's about battling." Brock chuckled. Both Misty and Brock caught up with Ash and they all went to field G. There was already a battle going on.
"Nidoking, use horn attack!" One of the trainers commanded his Nidoking. Nidoking lunged towards a quagsire and hit it. The quagsire fainted.
"Quagsire is unable to battle. Nidoking is the winner and the victory goes to Wade!" The referee declared. Both the trainers recalled their pokémon.
"Will Ash Ketchum and Murph enter the field?" The referee shouted.
"It's my turn." Ash said and entered the field. Another boy about the age of Ash entered the field from the other way. He had brown-coloured hair and he wore a green jacket on top of a white undershirt along with a red tie and green trousers.
"I'm going to beat you kid." He smirked.
"Oh yeah? Let's see about that." Ash said back.
"Will the trainers send out their pokémon?" the referee asked. Both Ash and Murph nodded.
"Go, Venusaur!" Murph threw a pokéball and a venusaur appeared. It was a large bipedal pokémon standing on its four legs. It had four fangs and it was a bluish-green in colour. It also had a fully bloomed flower on its back.
"Dragonite, I choose you!" Ash threw the pokéball and dragonite appeared and roared. Everyone except Ash, Brock and Misty gasped.
"Are you the famous kid who beat all the gyms with only his dragonite?" Murph asked.
"Yeah, that would be me." Ash smirked.
"But no problem! I'm going to beat you! Venusaur, use vine whip and grab that dragonite!" Murph yelled. Two vines extended from venusaur's back and grabbed dragonite by its waist.
"Dragonite, use flamethrower." Ash commanded cooly. Dragonite shot a stream of fire and burnt down the vines. Venusaur released the vines in pain. Dragonite then shot another stream of fire at Venusaur. Venusaur howled in pain upon contact with the flames.
"Venusaur, are you okay?" Murph asked worriedly. Venusaur nodded and got back up but was breathing heavily. "Okay, use sleep powder!" Venusaur unleashed a powerful sleep powder at dragonite.
"Blow it back with whirlwind." Ash ordered. Dragonite flapped its wings and the sleep powder went back and hit Venusaur. Venusaur fell asleep.
"Venusaur! Wake up!" Murph shouted but Venusaur was fast asleep.
"Finish it off with iron tail." Ash said. Dragonite's tail turned into steel and it hit Venusaur hard on the face. Venusaur fell back and its eyes were replaced by two swirls.
"…" The referee was in shock as dragonite didn't get a scratch. He came into reality and raised the flag on Ash's side. "Venusaur is unable to battle and the victory goes to Ash Ketchum!"
Murph sighed. "Venusaur, return." Venusaur was sucked back into its pokéball.
"Good. Now return." Ash called dragonite back into its pokéball. Ash left the field and reached Brock and Misty. Brock and Misty were shocked too. "Hey guys! Let's go and eat something. I'm starving!"
"O-Okay…" They said. They all made their way to the restaurant and Ash was eating at a fast pace as always.
"I don't understand how does he changes when he is in a battle and behaves like a child after that." Brock whispered to Misty.
"I don't know either." Misty replied.
At 5:00 pm…
Ash, Brock and Misty made their way to field A for Ash's next match. When they reached there, the battle had just finished.
"Will Casey and Ash Ketchum enter the field?" The referee yelled. Ash made his way inside the field and a girl probably 3 years older than him entered through the other side. She had red hair and wore a yellow top with a blue skirt. "Trainers, please choose your pokémon!"
"Go, charizard!" She threw a pokéball and a charizard appeared and roared. It was a dragon-like pokémon and it had two wings. There were 3 claws on each of its arms and two horns on top of its head. It was red in colour and had cream-coloured underbelly and the underside of its belly was cream-coloured too.
"Dragonite, it is battle time!" Ash threw the pokéball and dragonite came out and roared too. Both charizard and dragonite glared at each other.
"Begin the match!" The referee yelled and brought down the two flags he was holding.
"Charizard, use flamethrower!" Casey shouted. Charizard released a stream of flames towards dragonite.
"Dragonite, counter it with your own flamethrower." Dragonite unleashed a stream of flames too. Both the flames collided and there was an explosion. "Use thunderbolt." Electricity was seen in the smoke and everyone heard a roar. When the smoke cleared, charizard was panting and it seemed that dragonite was unhurt.
"Charizard, I know you can do it!" Casey shouted words of encouragement. Charizard slowly got up and roared. "Yeah. Now use dragon claw!" Charizard flew towards dragonite, its claws glowing.
"Intercept it with dragon breath." Ash commanded cooly like always. Dragonite unleashed green flames and it hit charizard head on. Charizard shrieked in pain and fell back, unconscious.
"Charizard is unable to battle. The victory goes to Ash Ketchum!" The referee raised the flag on Ash's side.
"Return. You did great." Casey called her pokémon back.
"Dragonite, take a nice long rest." Ash returned dragonite and left the field. Ash made his way to his room. Brock and Misty followed him. "These battles are so easy!" Ash said aloud.
"No. You're just tough." Brock corrected him.
"Whatever." Ash replied. They spent their day watching the other battles and resting.
The next day…
10:00 am
Our heroes made their way to field K for Ash's last battle.
"I'll win it like the last two battles." Ash grinned.
"Of course. No doubt in that." Misty smiled.
"Will Ash Ketchum and David make their way inside?" The referee shouted.
"Good luck Ash." Misty said.
"I don't need luck to win it." Ash replied.
"I was just encouraging you." Misty huffed and crossed her arms. Ash made his way inside. The opponent was already waiting inside. He wore an orange shirt with brown trousers.
"Will the trainers choose their pokémon?" The referee asked.
"Go, Blastoise!" David threw the pokéball and a blastoise appeared. It was a large turtle-like pokémon with a large brown shell on its back which had two cannons on top. It was blue in colour.
"Dragonite, let's win it!" Ash also threw his pokéball and dragonite emerged with a flash and a roar.
"Let the battle begin!" The referee yelled.
"Blastoise, use hydro pump!" David yelled. Blastoise unleashed a powerful blast of water at dragonite.
"Freeze it with blizzard." Dragonite unleashed a cold blizzard and the hydro pump froze in mid-air. "Now shatter it with iron tail." Dragonite shattered the frozen hydro pump with its tail and ice shards flew towards Blastoise.
"Dodge it!" David shouted worriedly. But Blastoise was late as ice shards flew in every direction at high speeds.
"Use thunderbolt." Ash commanded. Dragonite released a bolt of lightning and it struck Blastoise. Blastoise howled in pain.
"Blastoise! Please get up!" David yelled. Blastoise got up slowly. "Now use ice beam!" Blastoise shot a beam of ice towards dragonite.
"Counter it with flamethrower." Ash said. Dragonite released a stream of fire and the ice melted away and the flamethrower hit Blastoise and it fell back, unable to battle.
"Blastoise is unable to battle and dragonite wins. The victory goes to Ash Ketchum!" The referee shouted. Both the trainers recalled their pokémon and Ash left the battlefield. They rested for the day as Ash had qualified for the next round. They had another day until the results were out and told each and every trainer as to which block they were in.
Meanwhile in Hoenn…
"This is it. Let's go inside." The boss of Team Magma said. They were at Mt Chimney in the hopes of awakening the land titan, Groudon. Their plan was to increase the land mass by using Groudon.
In the other part of Hoenn…
Team Aqua was at route 128 in the hopes of getting to the sea floor cavern where it is rumoured that the sea titan, Kyogre was located. Their plan was the exact opposite of Team Magma; to increase the sea mass. "It's right here. Let's go underwater."
Author's Notes: Now I think that you all know the main plot, so Team Magma and Team Aqua are trying to awaken Groudon and Kyogre. And what does Ash have to do with all of this? And what is the roll of all the legendary pokémon? Stay tuned to find out!
