Chapter 3: Elliot vs Sam!
"Well Sam, this is it!" I smiled.
"Yeah!" Sam smirked. "I'm so excited to battle you! Japan! Your up first!"
"Tentacruel!" The Water/Poison Type cried in a feminine voice, Black Sludge covering her head.
"So he's starting off with a Tentacruel..." I mumbled. "All right! If he's going with an odd choice I will too! Ambipom, let's go!"
"Ambipom!" The Normal type ooked as he jumped around. On the big screen Ambipom and Tentacruel's headshots appeared on our respective sides.
"This is it, folks! The finals of the Hoenn World Tournament Cup is here! It's Elliot vs Sam starting off with Ambipom and Japan the Tentacruel! Let's start this thing!"
"Ambipom! Use Thunderbolt!" "Aaaaaambipoooom!" Ambipom let loose a bolt of lighting that hit Japan, knocking her back.
"Japan! Recover and use Toxic Spikes!" "Teeeentacruel!" The pokemon shot a dark purple orb up at the sky, that burst into blobs of poison that fell and sunk into the ground.
'Damnit...' I cursed in my head. 'Spike strategies...'
"Now use Sludge Bomb!" Tentacruel spat a load of brown sludge balls.
"Knock 'em away!" Using his two big tail hands, Ampibom smacked the attacks away. "Now use Iron Tail!" Ambipom's twin tails turned metallic before he brought them crashing down on Japan's Black Sludge.
"Scald!" Tentacruel spat a stream of boiling water that pushed Ambipom back.
"Don't flinch! Thunderbolt again!" "AaaaaaaambiPOM!" My pokemon shot a powerful lightning bolt that hit her full on, making her fall back with swirled eyes.
"Tentacruel is unable to battle! Ambipom is the winner!"
"Thanks Japan, you fought so hard out there." Sam smiled as he returned his pokemon. "Guess I didn't think about Ambipom knowing Thunderbolt."
"Heh, Ambipom's always been tricky, ever since he was an Aipom." My pokemon danced around at the compliment.
He got out his next Poke-Ball. "Then I'll just go with this! Polo, I'm counting on ya!" Out of the ball popped a serious looking Poliwrath with an Expert Belt tied around it's...stomach.
"That's one tough looking Poliwrath." I complimented as its image appeared on the big screen.
"Heh, Polo's been with me from the very beginning in Kanto." Sam smirked. "We're inseperable!"
"Poli!" Polo agreed.
"Well, I haven't been with Ambipom that long, but we've still got a strong bond too!" "Ambi!"
"Then let's see who's better! Polo! Hypnosis!" "Poliiiiii!" The Water/Fighting type let loose waves of energy from the swirl on its stomach.
"Dodge it!" Ambipom nimbly jumped out of the way.
"Follow up! Brick Break!" Poliwrath ran forward with a glowing hand.
"Grass Knot!" Ambipom's eyes glowed green and two blades of grass tied together at Poliwrath's feet, tripping it up and sending it crashing down. "Now Double Hit!"
"AaaaaaambiPOM!" Ambipom's tails glowed metallic pink before punching Poliwrath once with each, knocking it back.
"Let's finish it! Thunderbolt!" "Ambipooooom!" My pokemon fired a blast of lightning towards Sam's partner.
"Polo! Jump!" Using its powerful arms, Polo dodged the attack and leapt above Ambipom! "Now! Brick Break!"
"Pooooooli!" The pokemon delivered a heavy chop to Ambipom's head!
"Aaaaambiiiipooooo..." He staggered around with swirled eyes for a bit before falling back.
"Ambipom is unable to battle! Poliwrath is the winner!"
"Thanks Ambipom, you deserve a well earned rest." I smiled as I recalled him. "Polo really is strong!"
"You know it!" He smirked. "So who you beinging out next?"
'I have to be careful of those Toxic Spikes...' I thought. 'But in this case, I have the perfect pokemon!'
"Unfezant! Good luck!" I tossed the ball forward.
"Uuuuuunfezant!" The male version of its species called as it emerged in the sky.
"A Flying type? Good choice." Sam nodded, before getting out a Poke-Ball. "Thanks Polo, rest up for later, kay?" Polo nodded as he was returned, and the trainer got out another red and white sphere. "Mord Shark! Let's go!"
"Sharpedo!" His next pokemon appeared, with Sharpedite in a ring around its dorsal fin.
"Mord Shark?" I echoed.
"It means murder in German." Sam said.
"Clever, but we're not gonna lose! Sky Attack!" "Unfezaaaaaant!" Unfezant charged forward with powerful white aura around it.
"Protect!" Mord Shark put up a green shield that bounced Unfezant back, before swaying back and forth, getting progressively faster.
"Speed Boost?" I questioned.
"Speed Boost." He confirmed. "And now that we've got it...Mega Evolve!" The two stones once again connected, the Sharpedo growing bigger with more markings and spikes.
"Don't try and beat us in terms of speed! Quick Attack!" Quick as lightning, Unfezant zipped past Mord Shark, slashing him with his wing.
"Waterfall!" "Shar...RAAAAAAH!" Mord Shark's eyes glowed blue before a spiralling tower of water erupted from the ground with the Shark Pokemon spiralling up it at breakneck speeds, Unfezant luckily flew away just before the attack could hit him.
"Use Fly!" Unfezant soared skyward befoe divebombing Mord Shark, ramming into it powerfully.
"Crunch!" Opening its glowing jaws, the pokemon clamped its glowing teeth down on Unfezant!
"Unfezant!" I cried in horror as he fell back to my side, looking very weak. "That Strong Jaw powered Crunch was really powerful...quickly! Roost!" Unfezant landed and was bathed in a warm golden light.
"Now's your chance, Mord Shark! Ice Fang!" "ShaaaaaaAAAAAAR!" It's upper teeth turned to ice and lengthened considerably, jumping foward.
"Unfezant! Get out of there!" Unfezant started to fly, but Mord Shark chomped down on the bird pokemon, making him fall back with swirled eyes.
"Unfezant is unable to battle! Sharpedo is the winner!"
"Thank you, Unfezant, take a long rest." I returned him to his Poke-Ball, before getting out my next one.
"Here Mord Shark, take a rest for now." Sam returned his pokemon.
"Okay! Aegislash!" The sword and shield-like pokemon appeared on my side of the field.
"Good choice." Birch nodded. "Being part Steel-type, Aegislash is unaffected by Toxic Spikes."
"Dark Hound! Let's go!" On Sam's side appeared a female Houndoom wearing Choice Specs.
"Oh no! It's a double type disadvantage!" May panicked.
"I wouldn't worry." Oak smiled. "Professor Sycamore told me about Elliot's Aegislash."
"Ready, Dark Hound? Flamethrower!" "HOOOOOUURAH!" The pokemon howled, letting loose a powerful stream of burning flames.
I just watched as Aegislash braced itself. "Aegi...Aeg!" The pokemon grunted as the attack blasted it.
"Direct hit!" Wally gasped.
I, however, smiled. "I knew you could do it, buddy."
"Aeg!" My pokemon nodded, looking perfectly fine!
"Aegislash is enduring it!?" My two friends gasped, watching as the powerful flames licked around the shield, without touching the blade.
"That's some impressive defence..." Sam stated as Dark Hound ceased its attack.
"Now switch to Iron Head!" "Aegislash!" Switching to it's Blade Forme, Aegislash gained a strong silver aura before barreling into the Houndoom, sending it skidding back to Sam!
"Quick Dark Hound! Strike when it's defence is down! Flamethrower!" The pokemon launched its attack again.
"King's Shield!" Aegislash switched back to it's Shield Forme as a golden barrier formed in front of it, blocking the attack. "Follow up with Sacred Sword!" Switching forms again, Aegislash's blade glowed metallic purple and grew in length, before delivering a powerful slash to Dark Hound. The pokemon flopped to the ground with swirled eyes.
"Houndoom is unable to battle! Aegislash is the winner!"
"Now it's two all!" I fist-pumped.
"Dark Hound, return and recover." Sam returned his pokemon. "You just keep on surprising me, Elliot! Your pokemon are really impressive!"
"So are yours!" I nodded. "To be honest, when I first evolved my Doublade, we kept losing because I didn't know how to use his Stance Change Ability properly, but once he learned King's Shield everything turned out well."
"Aegislash!" His eye turned up into a smile.
"Well then I'll just have to break that shield! Sun Flower! Your number five!" Out of the Pokeball burst a heat radiating Volcorona with a Focus Sash tied around its abdomen.
'Another type-disadvantage for Aegislash...' I thought. 'But I can't risk switching him out because of Toxic Spikes...I'll just have to rely on King's Shield for now...'
"Use Fire Blast!" "Vooooolcaaaaa!" The surprisingly female pokemon let loose a burst of flames in the shape of the kanji for 'Fire'.
"King's Shield!" Aegislash switched forms and protected itself again. "Now Shadow Claw!" Once again switching forms, Aegislash's non-shield arm gained a dark aura in the shape of a clawed hand, which it used to slash Sun Flower.
"Fire Blast again!" The Fire/Bug type released the attack from close range!
"Aegi!? SLAAAASH!" Aegislash cried in pain as it was enveloped by fire.
"Aegislash!" I cried as my Sword Forme pokemon fell to the ground, the flames dying down to reveal its single eye had become a swirl.
"Aegislash is unable to battle! Volcorona is the winner!"
The crowd went wild for Sam's win as I returned Aegislash. "You fought with honour and pride, Aegislash. Thank you."
"The crowd loves you, Sun Flower!" Sam smiled along with his pokemon. "But I feel like I'm gonna need you for later, so wait 'till then, alright?"
"Vol." She nodded as Sam returned her.
'Looks like I'm gonna have to deal with Toxic Spikes now...' I thought grimly. 'But I'm sure this pokemon can handle it!' "Arcanine! Here we go!"
"Arrrrrrrcanine!" He roared as he appeared with a chunk of Charcoal on the end of a rope loose around his neck, before being enveloped in a purple wave of aura and violet electricity!
"Arcanine, are you alright!?" I called, but he simply shook it off and glared Sam down.
"So it's an Arcanine now? Alright then! Polo! It's you again!" Sam threw his pokeball forward.
"Poli!" Poliwrath declared with crossed arms, as the two opponents sized each other up.
"Start strong, Arcanine! Use Crunch!" The dog like pokemon charged forward with glowing fangs.
"Like that'll work, use Surf!" Poliwrath summoned a wave of water that towered above Arcanine!
"Break through with Flamethrower!" "Arrraaaaaaaaaarrr!" He let loose powerful fire from his jaw, which exploded the Surf in a burst of water vapour!
"That's some Flamethrower to match Surf like that." Sam nodded. "Switch to Brick Break!"
"Poliwrath!" Polo leapt forward with a pulled back fist.
"Gotcha!" I smirked. "Use Thunder Fang!"
"Arrrrcaniiiiine!" Arcanine's fangs glowed yellow before electicity zapped forth, forming into a set of jaws that clamped down on the Poliwrath's arm!
"Poliiii!" Polo cried in pain as it fell back, clutching its crackling arm as it rolled around.
"Polo!" Sam gasped before getting a Pokeball. "Quick! Come back!" He quickly recalled the injured pokemon.
"Nice work, Arcanine." I praised him, before the purple aura and violet lightning washed over him for another second. 'I need to find a way to get past those Toxic Spikes...but how?"
"Score! Let's go!" Sam declared.
"Gliscor!" The female cried with a Toxic Orb in its right claw, as it balanced on its tail.
"Wow! You have a Gliscor!" I went sparkly eyed. "Gliscor's my favourite pokemon! I should have brought mine along!" Arcanine secretly sweatdropped at my foolishness.
"I'm...glad you like her." Sam smiled nervously as Score just stared at me weirdly.
"But this is a battle after all!" I switched back to serious mode. "Arcanine! Heat Wave!"
"Caaaaniiine!" Arcanine breathed scorching hot air towards Score, who tried to fly and dodge, but the attack chased and washed over her, sending the pokemon crashing into and skidding down the wall.
"Heh, Gliscor's need to ride wind in order to fly, so Heat Wave's the perfect move to hit them!" I stated.
"Guess that's true." Sam agreed. "But Score's gonna be just fine!" Just then the Fly Scorp pokemon was bathed in a green light, slowly healing it.
"So it's a Poison Healer..." I muttered.
"Alright, Score! Earthquake!" "Gliiiiiiscor!" Score glowed golden before banging its tail on the ground, the golden glow covering the battlefield before being replaced by violent shaking!
"Arrrrrr!" Arcanine cried in pain as it suffered from poisoning again.
"Stay strong, Arcanine!" I cried desperately, but it was not to be as he collapsed with swirled eyes.
"Arcanine is unable to battle! Gliscor is the winner!"
"Now Elliot only has two pokemon left..." May said.
"And Score's constantly healing!" Wally added.
"You did great Arcanine. Thanks to you I know what to do now." I said as I returned him.
"Which pokemon are you going with next, Elliot? Think it can beat Score?" Sam asked as his pokemon fully recovered.
"I KNOW it can! Azumarill! Go get 'em!" I deliberately tossed the ball high.
"Azumarill!" She cheered as she appeared in the air, a blue satchal tied around her waist.
"Use Aqua Tail on the ground!" I commanded quickly.
"Aaaaaazumarill!" A powerful water twister formed around her tail before it slammed into the ground, leaving a massive crater and causing the Toxic Spikes to burst out and disappear, allowing Azumarill to land without being poisoned.
"Th-That's some scary power..." Sam gulped, looking at the giant hole in the ground.
"It's thanks to Azumarill's Huge Power Ability. She's the powerhouse of my Unova team!" "Azuma!" She cheered happily.
"Well, looks like Toxic Spikes is gone, but I can still poison her! Fling!" "Gliscor!" Score tossed its Toxic Orb at Azumarill!
"Azu!? Ma-" The item blew up in her face, leaving her with a purple tinge across her face and purple electricity crackling around her.
"Azumarill!" I gasped as she suffered.
"Now use Acrobatics!" "GliSCOR!" Score suddenly rammed into Azumarill repeatedly, tossing her back to me face down.
"What a strategy, getting rid of it's Toxic Orb with Fling to poison Azumarill and use a more powerful Acrobatics." Birch noted.
"Azumarill, get up!" I coaxed, as she struggled to with poison still affecting her. "Come on! I know this isn't all there is to your strength!"
"A...zu...marill!" She jumped up with renewed vigor.
"Yes! Now use Surf!" "Aaaaazumariiiill!" She summoned a wave that flew towards Score, who simply flew above it. "Aqua Tail!" She quickly followed up with the water twister, which crashed Score into the ground.
"Score!" Sam gasped at the wreckage the attack had left, with Score lying in the middle, heavily injured despite her healing with poison. "Don't give up! Use Roost!"
"Gli...scor..." She struggled to stand as she was enveloped with a golden aura.
"Azumarill! You heal too!" She nodded before opening her satchel and nibbling on her Leftovers, the two pokemon gradually healed up, though Score more then Azumarill.
"Now Acrobatics!" She again charged at my Water/Fairy type.
"Dodge and use Ice Punch!" Azumarill jumped above the swooping attack before her right fist was covered in a freezing blizzard, which she brought crashing down on Score's back with a big explosion. Azumarill hopped back to me and munched on her Leftovers as the dust cleared to reveal Score with her entire back frozen, and swirled eyee.
"Gliscor is unable to battle, Azumarill is the winner!"
"Score, you were great out there, rest up good now." Sam returned the Gliscor. "Looks like I gotta take out that Azumarill quick, so I'm going with Mord Shark!"
"Sharpedo!" The Mega-Evolved pokemon appeared again.
"Can you keep going, Azumarill?" I asked.
"Zuma." She nodded as she put her Leftovers back in her satchel, cringing from the effects of poison.
"Use Waterfall!"
"Use Surf!"
The two watery attacks exploded on each other, when Mord Shark burst through the water! "What!?" "Azu!?"
"Now Crunch!" The pokemon bit down on her, letting her go by tossing her at me.
"Azumarill! Can you stand?" She got up again, though weakly as purple lightning crackled around her.
"Crunch again!"
"Counter with Ice Punch!"
Mord Shark's glowing jaw and Azumarill's frosty fist connected, freezing Mord Shark's jaw shut! "Oh no!" Sam yelled.
"Now! Superpower!" "AaaaaazuuuuuumaaaaaRILL!" Azumarill's body became outlined in a light blue aura, before it began mercilessly beating up Mord Shark! With a devastating punch Mord Shark was tossed back, de-evolving in the process.
"Sharpedo is unable to battle! Azumarill is the winner!"
"Mord Shark, thanks for being so awesome today." Sam returned the beaten pokemon. "Looks like it's two all, I gotta admit your Azumarill's really impressive."
"Heh, thanks." "Azuma." She smiled from the comment whilst eating her Leftover's.
"Alright Sun Flower! It's you again!" The Volcorona burst from its ball.
"Huh? Why is he using his Volcorona? Fire types are weak to Water types!" Wally commented.
"Perhaps Sam has a strategy in mind?" Oak suggested.
"Use Quiver Dance!" Sun Flower fluttered her wings as she was bathed in a gren and golden aura.
"We gotta strike quick! Surf!"
"Hit back with Bug Buzz!"
Red soundwaves shot out from Sun Flower's wings, overpowering Surf and pushing Azumarill back! She got up again, but was breathing very heavily.
'Azumarill's running out of steam, I need to finish this quickly!' I thought in desperation. "Use Aqua Tail!" "Aaaaazumariiiill!"
"Use Hurricane!" "Voooooolcoronaaaaaa!"
The typhoon and the twister collided, both forces battling for dominance as wind and water whipped everywhere, as if nature itself was battling! Suddenly the two absorbed each other and burst! The two elements crashing into both our pokemon and tossing them to our respectful sides.
"Azumarill! Stand up! Please!" "A...zuma..."
"Sun Flower! Get up, I know you can!" "Vol...ca...ca..."
Both pokemon managed to get up, but Azumarill got zapped by poison and collapsed!
"Azumarill is unable to battle! Volcorona is the winner!"
"Now Elliot has only one pokemon left..." May said.
"Which one is it?" Wally asked.
"You fought really hard Azumarill, just like you always do! Thank you, and get some rest." I praised her in her Pokeball.
"Looks like this is it..." Sam said. "So...who's number six?"
I got out my last Pokeball and looked at it. "I'll place my trust in you...Sceptile!"
"Sceptile!" The pokemon roared as it appeared, the Sceptilite in its Mega Wristband gleaming brightly.
"It's Sceptile!" Both May and Wally cheered, fully aware of the pokemon.
"What!? Your using a Grass type?" Sam said, almost in disappointment.
"Of course!" I declared. "Sceptile's been with me through my entire Hoenn adventure, ever since he was a Treecko! He's beaten Roxanne's Nosepass, Dad's Slaking, and Wallace's Milotic! Even Steven's Mega Metagross and Maxie's Mega Camerupt! He's my choice, without a doubt!"
"Sceptiiiiiiile!" Sceptile agreed.
"But he has a double type disadvantage against Sun Flower." Sam pointed out.
"Not for much longer! Ready Sceptile?" He nodded. "Okay! Sceptile! Mega Evolve!"
Trails of energy burst from my Mega Bracelet, as well as the Sceptilite, the two trails joining together and making Sceptile glow in a rainbow aura. His features became sharper, his tail became longer, and the spikes on the end grew bigger and more deadly.
"SCEPTILE!" Mega Sceptile roared as the Mega Symbol burst in front of him.
"Elliot's always had a strong bond with his pokemon." Oak smiled. "And I believe that's evidenced most in his Sceptile's Mega Evolution."
"Don't think we're gonna lose just 'cause Sceptile Mega Evolved!" Sam stated. "Sun Flower! Fire Blast!" The Volcorona blasted the flaming kanji at the starter, who took it head on!
"Sceptiiiile!" He shouted in pain from the attack.
"Hang tough, Sceptile!" I shouted, causing him to rip the flames apart. "Now! Rock Slide!"
"Sceeeeeeptile!" Sceptile glowed white before rings of white energy appeared above Sun Flower, grey boulders falling through them and crushing the Sun pokemon.
"Sun Flower!" Sam called as the pokemon fainted from the double super effective move.
"Volcorona is unable to battle! Sceptile is the winner!"
"Now they're both down to one!" The announcer yelled. "This is the final battle ladies and gentleman."
"You did excellent today, Sun Flower. Rest up well." Sam returned the pokemon. "...Elliot, if you choose to place your trust in Sceptile, then I'll place mine in Polo! Go!"
"Poliwrath!" The pokemon shouted as it was sent out, though it still looked injured.
"Sceptile." The two pokemon shot each other looks, staring down their final opponents.
For a while it was quiet, neither of us dared to make a move. And yet, we called our commands at the same time.
"Brick Break!"
"Dual Chop!"
Polo's white fists and Sceptile's multicoloured blades clashed, the impacts reverbrating across the battlefield as the two pokemon dodged and swiped at each other with incredible speed.
"Use Hypnosis!" "Poliiiii!" Polo fired purple waves from its stomach.
"Dodge and use Leaf Blade!" "Sceeeeptile!" Sceptile zipped out of the way with his amazing speed, and transformed the leaves on his wrists into twin green energy blades.
"Jump and use Body Slam!" Polo jumped above Sceptile's slash and fell down towards Sceptile.
"Dig attack!" Sceptile burrowed underground, leaving Poliwrath to crash into the earth before being given a powerful uppercut, courtesy of Sceptile.
"Polo!" Sam said as his pokemon landed in front of him, struggling to even stand.
"Leaf Blade again!" "ScepTILE!" Sceptile dashed towards Polo with the blades on its wrists.
"Hypnosis!" "Poliwraaaaaath!" The waves warped around Sceptile, making him sprawl on the ground, sound asleep.
"Sceptile, wake up!" I called, but he just snored contently.
"Body Slam!" "Poliiii!" Polo flopped onto Sceptile, the starter gritting its teeth, but still not waking up. "Again!" He slammed down on top of him again.
"Come on Sceptile, snap out of it!" I called to him, but to no avail.
"Let's finish it quick! Brick Break!" "Pooooliiii..." Polo jumped up and raised its hand.
"SCEPTILE!" I cried in horror.
"...Scep?" Sceptile's eyes snapped open, only to see Polo descending towards it!
"Dual Chop!" "Scep! Sceptile!" With one slash Sceptile blocked the Brick Break, and with another sent Polo flying back!
"Damnit..." "P...Po...li..." Polo staggered to its feet, though it had to support itself by putting its hands on its knees.
"...This is it..." I breathed, as Sceptile nodded.
"...Our final attack..." Sam replied, as Polo struggled up.
"Sam, no matter the outcome, it was fun to battle you."
"Elliot, I feel the same way, let's finish this."
"LEAF BLADE!"
"BRICK BREAK!"
"SCEPTIIIIIIIIIILE!"
"POLIWRAAAAAAAATH!"
The two attacks collided in a tremendous explosion, smoke battered against us as the impact shook the very ground, everybody shielding themselves from the relentless stone and sand swirling around.
Eventually the smoke cleared, revealing the two pokemon still standing, though covered in injuries and breathing heavily.
I held my breath without even knowing as the two pokemon refused to collapse, until Sceptile fell to his knees.
"Sceptile!" I gasped, as he fell to his hands too, he wasn't going to last.
Polo nodded at Sceptile's condition...until he collapsed forward.
"Polo!" Sam gasped as Sceptile stood back up.
"Poliwrath is unable to battle! The winner is Sceptile! So the victory goes to Elliot!"
"We did it!" I cheered as I ran over to Sceptile. "You were amazing, Sceptile!"
"Scep." He smiled as he de-evolved.
"Elliot won! He really won!" May cheered.
"What an amazing battle!" Wally said.
"Poli..." Polo looked down in disappointment.
"Polo, you gave it your all today, thanks so much." Sam assured him, before standing up. "Man, I can't believe I lost...but you know what? That battle was so cool! I'm glad I got to battle you Elliot."
"Me too!" I smiled. "You were a great opponent, and I hope I can battle you again someday."
And so we, and our pokemon, shook hands as a sign of respect.
"Unbelievable! Our Hoenn World Champion is Elliot! And now to present his prize, the Hoenn Region Champion Steven Stone!"
"Hey Steven." I greeted him casually as I walked up the podium.
"You continue to surprise me, Elliot." Steven chuckled. "You can do so much in such a short time."
"I guess so." I shrugged.
"Here, this is yours now." He handed me a golden trophy with a Pokeball emblem in the centre.
"Wow! Steven, thank you!" I beamed. "We did it! We won the Hoenn World Tournament Cup!"
"Sceptile!" "Ambipom!" "Unfezant!" "Aegislash!" "Arcanine!" "Azumarill!"
EvS
"Guys, it was so great seeing you all in Hoenn." I said to my main teams. "I'll come back to Kanto and visit again as soon as I'm done with my Legendary Hunt, so see you soon!"
All of my pokemon cheered and waved as I bid them farewell. "I'll make sure they're got home safely." Professor Oak assured me.
"Thank you Professor, see you again soon." I said, before shaking hands.
"Elliot..." I looked at Dakota, who looked like she wanted to say something, but shook her head. "See you again."
I smiled and nodded, before she left. "Hey Elliot." I then turned to Sam. "You may have won this time, but I'm gonna get stronger and catch a bunch of other pokemon! So you won't be so lucky next time!"
"And I'll be waiting for that time, but I'm not gonna lose either!" I grinned, as he sprinted off, waving to me.
"So Elliot, where are you heading now?" May asked.
"This new island I found." I said as I got out my Eon Flute. "Seems like another Hoopa portal is there."
"You don't really believe in Hoopa do you Elliot?" Wally asked.
"I choose to have an open mind. And if Hoopa does exist, I'm gonna catch it!" I declared after I finished playing, making my Latios appear.
"Stay safe!" May said.
"Don't forget to drop in and visit!" Professor Birch added.
"And let's battle again someday!" Wally finished.
I nodded before we soared up and I Mega-Evolved Latios, taking in the perfect view of the Hoenn region underneath me. I took a minute to think of all the friends I'd met in Hoenn, and how much I missed some of them...
I eventually just smiled. There were other people I'd met before Hoenn on my other travels, and I'd always remember them.
"Okay Latios, let's go." And so we soared off, on to our next adventure...
I did it! I finished it! YES! And I'm so happy with how this came out!
A few notes though: The victor was decided entirely by coin toss, sorry Razzorow, you were Tails. Second, all events mentioned really did happen, my Sceptile really did win all those battles, and all of my used pokemons movesets are genuine.
Now some questions to ask: Did you notice the special thing about my team when I battled Sam? (Apart from the fact four of their names began with 'A'). Secondly, do you wanna battle me FF wise? If yes, just PM me your best team (you choose whether legendaries count or not) and if you wish to battle any specific pokemon of mine!
And if you wanna online battle my Pokemon Y or Omega Ruby teams, here is my Friend Code: 4356-0439-9374
