And so Charizard is out! I know some of you all will be mad at me, but...
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon.
R&R!
"Charizard is unable to battle!" the referee declared. "Mega Metagross is the winner!"
"That was an amazing round, folks!" the commentator said. "The battle between Tobias' now Mega Metagross and Ash's Charizard was a heated one! I can't believe it! The power of Mega Evolution is incredible!"
"Charizard, you did all you could, and I'm proud of you." Ash unknowingly kissed the pokeball before clipping it to his belt. "Alright buddy! I hope the training between you and Charizard last night has paid off! Sceptile, go!"
"So Ash reveals his Sceptile. Will he be able to stand up against Tobias' Metagross?" the commentator asked.
"Ash…" Tobias said, "…you are an amazing trainer. I wouldn't doubt the fact that you could Mega Evolve your Sceptile."
"Really?" he asked. He really hoped that Tobias would give him a Stone or whatever that would Mega Evolve Sceptile.
"But let's continue," he said, crushing all of Ash's hopes.
But Ash let it be. Besides, he didn't need something like Mega Evolution to defeat a pokémon! He could do it on his own!
"Metagross use Zen Headbutt!"
"Me…Meta…"
"What?" Tobias asked, stunned. "I said, use Zen Headbutt!"
Ash's mind clicked and he grinned. "Metagross still has to recharge from Hyper Beam. Sceptile, use Dynamic Punch!"
"Drat!"
Sceptile, with his amazing speed, ran towards Metagross with his right fist glowing white. He let out a battle cry before giving a powerful jab that created a dent in the middle of the cross on Metagross' face.
"Now we can attack! Metagross use Flash Canon!"
Metagross shot a bolt of iron towards Sceptile, and the grass lizard swiftly avoided the sphere from hitting him.
"Sceptile – use Dynamic Punch again!"
"Scep!" the grass type called out. He once again slammed his fist against Metagross' body and caused a small depression.
Ash grinned. If this kept going on, Metagross would soon be knocked out…or maybe not.
"Metagross retaliate with Bullet Punch!" Tobias called out.
"Met!" it shortly said. Metagross charged up its fists and they glowed metallic-white. It then thrusted its arms repeatedly, desperate to land a hit.
Sceptile's speed was overwhelming. He dodged each and every jab easily and without breaking a sweat. He ducked, sidestepped or jumped to dodge the punches, ever ready to please his trainer.
"Sceptile, show me what you learnt from Charizard back in the Ranch!" Ash suggested.
Sceptile smirked. He jumped back, much to Tobias' and Metagross' confusion. He then formed a purple sphere, which was as big as Latios' Dragon Pulse, between his palms and held it in that spot for a moment. Sceptile then launched the ball at Metagross, who took the brutal attack and was somewhat pushed back.
"Woah!" his trainer exclaimed. "Charizard taught you Dragon Pulse!"
A/N: Before anyone tells me that this is bullshit, let me remind you that by ORAS tutoring, Sceptile can learn Dragon Pulse. Now let's continue.
"Metagross—"
"Finish this. Leaf Storm!"
"Sceptile!" and a barrage of leaves, surrounded by a green aura, appeared around his tail. Sceptile growled before unleashing the leaves onto Metagross, surrounding it. Metagross was encircled in a tornado of uncountable leaves, lifting it up before finally slamming it down with a resounding thud.
"Metagross, get up and use Psychic!" Tobias ordered.
"Meta, Meta!" Metagross spun on the ground before floating back in the air. Its eyes glowed pink before a faintly visible wave of pure energy was blasted towards Sceptile, who retaliated with Leaf Storm and obliterated the psi wave as well as the leaves.
"Sceptile, use Dragon Pulse followed by a Dig!"
Sceptile hurled another purple sphere, which Metagross this time evaded and Sceptile delved into the ground with ease. He spent a few minutes lurking around under the earth, increasing the tension above.
"Sceptile, come out and follow up with Dynamic Punch!" Ash ordered.
Sceptile let out a battle cry before erupting from the ground and slamming his body against Metagross' underside, causing it to topple over and overturn as it fell on the ground. Sceptile continued the combo with a Dynamic Punch, which added an indentation on Metagross' metal body, and Sceptile jumped back on the field.
"Metagross. Zen Headbutt…!"
Metagross grunted before floating back up, this time slower than before. Metagross channeled his energy to its head, and it floated towards Sceptile with great speed.
"Sceptile, Dynamic Punch followed with Leaf Blade!"
"Scep…TILE!" Sceptile's fist glowed once more, and the head and fist clashed which stemmed in a definite, metallic sound. A shockwave passed over either of the pokémon's' bodies, and Metagross almost looked like it was about to throw up. Sceptile, however, embraced the pain and slashed a glowing blade that extended on his forearm, and an unnoticeable scratch march appeared on Metagross' face.
With a soft growl, Metagross reverted to its original form, plunged to the ground and hit it with a thud, out cold.
"Metagross is unable to battle!" the referee said. "Sceptile is declared the winner!"
"Folks, look at that!" the commentator said. "Ash's Sceptile knocked out Tobias' Metagross without taking a hit! This is unbelievable, people! I can't wait for it to continue!"
"Metagross…return." The iron leg pokémon was absorbed back into its pokeball. "I have three pokémon left, while you have two. And Sceptile's pretty tired now; it looks like he'll be over in a couple of minutes. Pity I took this pokémon…pity…for you!
"Entei, scorch them!" Tobias exclaimed, tossing his pokeball which released the legendary beast onto the floor. The leonine, quadruped pokémon stood on all fours proudly, showing off its brown fur and light-grey cloud of smoke that replaced a mane and ran along its entire back. It let out a growl to let the audience acknowledge its presence on the battlefield.
"Tobias has stunned us to the limits, people!" the commentator said, and the crowd roared of excitement. "He has not two, but three legendary pokémon by his side!"
"How is this even allowed?!" asked Ash, his voice full of disbelief and awe. "Shouldn't there be a ban on legendary pokémon? How are they even allowed in a competitive battling environment?"
"Okay, Entei versus Sceptile. Begin!" the referee said.
"Sceptile, you up for it?" the raven-haired boy asked, earning a nod of approval from Sceptile. "Okay. Sceptile, use Leaf Storm!"
"Entei, roast them with a Flamethrower," Tobias casually ordered.
Entei let out a roar followed by powerful blazes that headed straight for the oncoming leaves. The fire scorched them, leaving some in a crispy state, while the others were disintegrated into ashes.
"Surprise it with Dragon Pulse!"
From the middle of the fire came a purple sphere that headed straight for Entei. Entei gasped, and the flames died at once, allowing the pulse of energy to crash into its face, sending the volcano pokémon reeling behind and landing on the ground on its side.
"Entei, use Lava Plume!"
"RAAAAGH!" the volcano pokémon roared. Entei then glared at Sceptile before stomping on the ground with its forelegs with all its might, causing a small rumble in the ground. Sceptile looked around warily, and the ground around Entei exploded to send a wave of hot magma that headed straight towards Sceptile.
"Sceptile, use Dig and get out of there!" Ash commanded.
Sceptile clawed the ground with all the strength he could, and evaded the wave of lava just seconds before it trickled harmlessly off the ground. A hole took place instead of Sceptile, and the battlefield was now filled with smoke that appeared due to the aftermath of Lava Plume.
"Sceptile has managed to evade the dangerous Lava Plume with great speed!" the commentator stated. "It looks like trainer Ash has trained his pokémon to be the fastest of their kind!"
"Entei, look out alright?" Tobias said.
Right then the earth burst open and Sceptile jumped out, slamming his head into Entei's underside. Entei's eyes popped out and it jumped away to allow Sceptile to land of the ground.
"Entei, Sacred Fire!"
Entei opened its mouth and the roof of its mouth started to glow. A moment later, he let out a loud growl before releasing a gold-rose colored flame that advanced towards Sceptile. Too tired to move, Sceptile took the attack and it hit him square on the chest, making him fly away and land on the ground on his back.
"Oooh!" the commentator exclaimed. "That's gotta hurt!"
"Aw, screw you!" Ash exclaimed. "Sceptile, are you alright?"
"Scep…Sceptile…!" his pokémon replied.
"Okay then, Sceptile – use Leaf Storm!"
"Entei – burn them with Sacred Fire!"
The gold-rose colored flames once again were spewed from Entei's mouth, roasting the leaves to a crisp and making them fall to the ground, ineffective at all. Once the flames and dust subsided, Sceptile was a foot away from Entei's face, and so was his fist.
"What?!" exclaimed Tobias.
"Sceptile, finish it off with Dynamic Punch!"
"Sceptile!" was all Entei heard before being struck by the forest pokémon's glowing fist. The fist landed between Entei's eyes, and the volcano pokémon flew back a meter away. The tip of its fang broke apart, and it landed on the ground for the world to see.
"Sceptile, use Dragon Pulse followed by Dynamic Punch!"
"Entei watch out!" Tobias warned.
With complete fury, Sceptile launched another purple sphere, and this one crashed into Entei's torso and sent his a foot back. As the dust cleared out, Sceptile landed his glowing fist on Entei's face, making the legendary beast squeal in pain.
"Entei, finish this!" Tobias exclaimed, his eyes not twitching. "USE EXPLOSION!"
Ash took a step back in shock. "Sceptile, get out of there using Quick Attack and Agility!"
Entei stood on all fours, eyes gleaming red and the smoke on its back was darker and bigger. With an ear-piercing roar, it was filled with a sense of unlimited power and unleashed the stored power with explosive fury. The smoke on Entei's back disappeared, and instead a geyser of energy erupted in place of the smoke. Sceptile managed to escape from the explosion radius, but the force threw him far away and he crashed into the ground.
The dust cleared, and Entei was on the ground lying on its side.
"And Entei is unable to battle!" the referee said. "Sceptile wins!"
Sceptile was wheezing heavily, placing his palms on his knees for support. His green skin had burn marks, but it looked like he could still go on.
"And Entei is out!" the commentator repeated. "Tobias took a gamble by using this last resort, but it was no match for Sceptile's speed! What a battle!"
"Grr…Entei! Return!" Tobias exclaimed, and he furiously took out his pokeball and recalled his fallen pokémon. His face broke out into a twisted grin, and his eyes turned darker. "Dragonite, go!"
"Drago, Dragonite!" Dragonite exclaimed upon soaring in the sky.
"Dragonite versus Sceptile, okay. Begin!" the referee declared.
"Sceptile, use Sunny Day." Ash snapped his fingers.
Sceptile nodded. The orbs on his back glowed white and, a moment later, white beams from each of the orbs were shot into the sky, making the sunlight brighter.
"Alright, use Synthesis now."
Sceptile's tail shined white and his whole body glowed green with sparkles, healing most of his injuries in previous battles.
"That was a great tactic by Ash!" the commentator mentioned. "First, he told Sceptile to use Sunny Day to make the sunlight stronger, and then told him to use Synthesis to heal Sceptile's injuries! And the best part is that Synthesis was faster and better due to the intense sunlight!"
"Dragonite, Agility."
Ash smirked. "Two can play that game! Sceptile, you use agility too!"
The two pokémon increased their speed and moved across the field, appearing to be visible for a few seconds before rushing to another spot the next. It would seem as if the pokémon were at multiple places at the same time!
"Sceptile, use Screech!"
Sceptile squawked in a high pitched tone, and rings of energy struck Dragonite on the belly. Dragonite fell down that instant and covered her ears in order to stop the ear-splitting noise from entering his ears.
"Sceptile, use Leaf Blade!"
"Dragonite," Tobias said, "stop it with Ice Beam!"
"Sceptile," Ash said, "use Dragonite's attack against him!"
Sceptile smirked. He swiftly ducked, evading the sheet of ice, but held the glowing Leaf Blade up so that it became frozen solid. Then, with blinding speed, he rushed towards Dragonite and slashed the blade on her torso.
"That was an incredible trick, folks!" the commentator said. "Sceptile used Ice Beam to strengthen Leaf Blade and he then struck Dragonite with a combined Ice/Grass type attack!"
"Dragonite, use Dragon Rage!"
Dragonite let out a bellow before releasing a yellow ball at Sceptile, crackling with energy. Sceptile took the attack and was thrown back due to impact.
"Sceptile, use Agility!"
Sceptile ran across the field, changing positions every other second, and it even taunted Dragonite by appearing in front of her and smirking at her. Sceptile's speed rose drastically.
"Sceptile, use Solar Beam!"
"Dragonite, use Ice Punch!"
Sceptile stopped a meter away from Dragonite, gathering sunlight by his tail and using the energy to power him up. A second later, his tail glowed white, indicating that the attack was ready. He let out a scream before unleashing the attack from his mouth, firing a white beam that sparkled and advanced towards Dragonite.
Dragonite whimpered before bracing herself, and her fist glowed light blue a second before Solar Beam struck her. The high energy attack sent her flying away and she crashed into the ground, struggling to get up.
"Dragonite, finish him with Agility and then Ice Punches!"
Dragonite travelled quickly towards Sceptile and jabbed her glowing fist onto Sceptile's torso, freezing it before it made him double over from pain. He gasped for breath before being struck by another jab, this time to his back, and he fell to the ground in agony.
"Dragonite, use Iron Tail!"
Dragonite's tail glowed into a shade of silver, and she flew in the air before doing a backflip and striking her tail onto Sceptile's frozen back. The ice crumbled, sending a shockwave up Sceptile's spine and the forest pokémon struggled to get up, which he finally did. He rushed away from Dragonite, but he was tired.
Tobias' face was expressionless as ever. "Finish him with Ice Beam."
"Sceptile…"
Dragonite let out a growl before firing a thick beam of ice that advanced towards Sceptile. Sceptile only looked up as his knee was on the ground, and he didn't close his eyes when the sheet of ice froze him solid.
"Why didn't Sceptile move?!" asked Dawn, throwing her arms out.
"I guess he knew it was the end," Brock replied. "Sceptile's always been a warrior, so that explains why he kept his eyes open when he took the attack."
"So Tobias has two pokémon left, while Ash has only one…" Dawn trailed off.
"And we know who it's going to be." Delia looked at everyone else, before the four supporters said one word.
"Pikachu…"
And so this is it! There is probably one more chapter to go, but I may stretch it to two chapters.
Anyway, a few notes here...
So Sceptile managed to whoop Entei and Metagross. I figured that speed can be a great asset for beating up pokemon, and since Sceptile's speed is great...
But he still fell to Dragonite.
Now, I decided to include Entei because, hey, if you get to catch two bloody legendary pokemon, why not a third?
The next matchup will be between Pikachu and Dragonite. Who do you think will win?
So see you guys next chapter, and please review! I've got ten followers, seven favourites and over a hundred visitors, but only 1 review. Lol.
'Kay bye
