Pokémon Battle 3:

Lucario VS Mienshao

Everybody was cheering as loud as they can be. "On the left side of the square," A Loudred yelled, "stands the jackal-like bipedal Lucario, master of aura. Lucario stretched out his arms, preparing for the fight he is about to partake in. Some cheered even louder, while others booed him. He didn't care. All that mattered was winning this tournament to earn the black belt. For years Lucario trained for this event. When he first entered a tournament similar to this, he lost in the first rounds against a Primape, although he was still a young Riolu back then. But now, this fight will determine who will be champion. Fighters from all over the land travels to this small village just to participate to be known as the best fighter in the world. In recent months, he earned the title, 'Master of Aura'; due to his accomplishment of defeating the previous master. His next opponent though, has many accomplishments also, and a rumor was spread that his opponent can even use aura also. Regardless, Lucario was confident that he would win. He trained to hard to lose now.

"And now, standing on the right side of the square, martial arts master from the western land, Mienshao!" Some booed, but the screams of those who cheered on Mienshao shook the surrounded land. Meinshao had heard stories of Lucario. Watching him in his previous fight with a Hitmontop, he could tell that the final rounds would be one of the toughest fights he may have ever had. That's a good thing though. The only reason why he would even enter a tournament like this was to find worthy opponents, which many were. Mienshao trained rigorously since he was a child. He accepted any challenge that was offered, whether or not he lost. For each lost, he just got stronger and smarter for the next one.

Loudred got in the middle of the square and spoke. "Alright you two. I want a clean fight. Nothing dirty will be tolerated. So no low blows. You two are the best and I respect that. So should both of you. So after the match, no matter who wins or loses, I want you two shake hands. You got it!" The two fighting type Pokémon nodded their heads. "Great, so without further delay, let the match begin!" Everyone cheered as the two finalists got into a fighting their individual fighting stances. Loudred jumped out of the square, not wanting to be in the middle of the fight.

Lucario and Mienshao stared into the eyes of another, trying to sense what the other would do first. Moments passed, and the crowd gazed upon the two. They both fought very difficult opponents before making it to where they are now. The black belt was just a finger tip away from possession. This is the last obstacle they must complete; and only one can win. Lucario took a huge leap to his opponent, attempting to make contact with a jump kick, but Mienshao jumped away from the jackal. When the martial artist landed, Lucario was already inches away. Lucario was fast, but was he faster than Mienshao. Lucario began using a combination of jabs and light kicks at his opponent continuously. Mienshao, with his elegant movements, dodged everyone of his attacks, with the exception of the last. Mienshao was able to tilt his head slightly to dodge the jackal's attack, but did not see that the fist had a linen of aura around it, increasing the range of the attack slightly, just enough to cause a scratch on the small head of Mienshao.

Mienshao, without any hesitation, grabbed blue Pokémon's arm and pulled him closer. With the other hand, thrust his palm into the ribs of Lucario, even sending a small shock wave across its body. The power of Mienshao's attack sent Lucario to his knees. Lucario never felt this much power coming from someone this slender before. It was evident that he has to give it all he had if he wants to win. Suddenly, a barrage of whip like pain came across him body at a fast, constant flow. Covering his face from the attacks, Lucario was able to peek that it was Mienshao using his fur as an attack at a fast motion.

Lucario spun around and swept his left leg, causing Mienshao to fall to the ground. He jumped back, creating distance between the two. The jackal then placed the back of his right hand on his left palm and then pointed his right palm at the Pokémon that was standing to his feet. A blue energy, that everyone knew was called aura, began circling around Lucario's body and forming a sphere on his palms. When he felt like he put enough energy to it, he shot out multiple spheres of aura energy at Mienshao.

This is the second time Mienshao has ever fought against someone that wields the power of aura in his life. The first being a Togekiss. But that was years ago when he was still learning the capabilities of aura. Mienshao ran from the attacks in a zig-zag like pattern, dodging his opponent's attacks on a whim. He was getting closer to Lucario each second. When he was close enough, Mienshao, from deep within his soul, called out his own aura and in a similar fashion, charged it into a sphere, and attempted to thrust it into Lucario, in which Lucario countered with the same tactic, allowing the two spheres to meet. The two spheres exploded at the point of contact, sending their wielders to the opposite side of the fighting square.

The two fighters stood up immediately, not allowing the other to get a chance to deal more damage. It was obvious that the finalists were heavily damaged by the previous attack by the way they limped as they stood up. At the same time, almost like mirroring each other, they jumped up high and kicked the other, doing nothing more than inflicting even more pain. They fell on their backs and slowly stood up. Not wanting to lose the final round. They both can taste victory on the tip of their tongues. Lucario and Mienshao began charging high amounts of aura energy onto their palms. Everyone knew that the match would be over soon. The match could go either way now. The two unleashed waves of aura spheres at the other, causing multiple small explosions to occur in between them, but still they continued the attacks.

They struggled. The winner now will be decided when one drains out his individual aura pool. Minutes had passed. Finally, it would be Mienshao to fall to his knees, exhausted from using up all of his aura. Lucario, seeing this as the opportunity to finish his opponent, continued his attack, hitting Mienshao directly with dozens of aura spheres, creating smoke to cover the fighting square. Moments passed for the wind to dissipate the smoke and dust to Lucario's dismay. Mienshao as standing on his two feet staring at Lucario in the eye, half dead. He had never seen anyone survive that amount of damage before.

Lucario, with almost impossible speed; ran up to his opponent and did more combinations of punches and kicks, but this time, aura infused. Mienshao was able to dodge each and every attack Lucario had thrown at him. Lucario couldn't believe this. Mienshao can't still be moving like this after that much damage. Lucario was amazed. Mienshao was able to grab his leg, and slam him to the ground with extensive force. A hole was created by the power of the attack. Mienshao now stood above his defeated opponent.

"Mienshao is the victor!" Loudred screeched, hurting all of the crowds ears in the process. Nobody cared and cheered loudly for Mienshao; who fall to a sitting position due to his wounds. "Everyone, give a round of applause to the new, fighting champion of the world!" Everyone screamed.

Lucario rose up to his knees, unable to stand. The two stared at one another in respect to their skills. Like they swore they would due, they shook hands.

"Your good." Lucario finally spoke.

"You too. I never fought anyone like you." Mienshao replied. "Out of everyone that I fought in my life that wielded aura, you are the most powerful with it. Even greater than me."

"Thanks, but still, I couldn't defeat you."

"Since we got time, I must ask you for a favor Lucario."

"Yea, sure, what is it?"

"In my land, a tyrant is terrorizing the Pokémon. I tried to defeat him, but couldn't win. I ask you if you would return with me after we heal to assist me in taking it down. You are the only one strong enough to stand by my side."

Lucario couldn't believe what the champion just asked. To ask someone who was just defeated by you for help. Lucario had no choice but to agree. He always stood for justice, no matter what was the threat. He nodded his head, too weak to raise his voice over the screaming crowd.

The next morning, Mienshao, wearing the black belt he was rewarded for winning the tournament, was last seen walking out of the gate of the village with Lucario.
