Ch 27: The best of the best (please review)
Ash , May, and Liza were inside the Sealth main stadium waiting for the festival of champions to begin. "Did you here Unova has a new champion" Liza said. "Yeah Alder retired as champion" Ash said.
The stadium was filled to the max with spectators, some with small pokemon out like. "Pika Chu" Pikachu said excitedly. "Ashame are other pokemon can't see this" May said. "True but the stadium is filled up already I doubt they want huge pokemon like charizard or venusaur taking up all the room" Ash said.
"I guess" May said. Back at the condo's Ash and May had let out all of their pokemon outside the condos. Squirtle , Bulbasaur, Charizard, Torterra, and Lucario were sitting in a circle with May's pokemon and Charla. "Squirtle, squirtle" Squirtle said. Translated he said.
"So Charizard you're going to be a daddy". "I can't believe you're having kids before me" Bulbasaur said. "Bulbasaur you need a female to have an egg and you don't have one" Torterra said. "I thought I did with May's bulbasaur, then she evolved. Boy when women evolve they change" Bulbasaur said.
"You could have evolved once but you turned it down if I remember" Charizard said. "And if I did I would have ended up like you when you evolved Charizard" Bulbasaur said. Charizard stopped talking. "Wait what happened when you evolved?" Venusaur said.
"Well I may have" Charizard started. "You should have seen him he was wild and crazy. He didn't listen to Ash at all even at the pokemon league. It's because of him we lost the Indigo league" Squirtle said.
"You did what!" blaziken said as all of May's pokemon turned to Charizard."Yeah and that was after Ash saved his life" Bulbasaur said."Charla did you know about that?" Squirtle said. Charla was still holding her egg "Yes he confessed every little misdeed he did in his life. I actually found it kind of cute" Charla said.
"Well squirtle if I remember right you were once the leader of a group of squirtle criminals who held Ash and the others prisoner while Pikachu was dying!" Charizard said. Charla and all of May's pokemon turned to squirtle "You kept a dying Pikachu prisoner!" Wartorle said.
"Well I let Ash go and get him medicine"Squirtle said. "If I remember correct you threatened to kill Misty if Ash didn't return by sundown" Bulbasaur said. "What!?" Charla and all of May's pokemon said at once.
"Well Bulbasaur if I remember correct you, you , well there was that time that. Dam it Charizard what was somthing he did that was bad?" Squirtle said. "I can't think of anything" Charizard said. "Ha I have a clean slate" Bulbasaur said.
Lucario's eyes were closed as he felt the aura of the pokemon around him. Lucario opened his eyes and smiled. "I wouldn't say clean" Lucario said. "What , what are you talking about?" Bulbasaur said.
"I read your aura , once at Oak's lab you convinced a few pokemon that oran berries were poisones so you could have them all" Lucario said. Squirtle, Torterra, and Charizard all broke out laughing.
It was nine thirty exactly when the announcer came to the center of the stadium with a microphone. Above the stadium and inside were dozens of cameras broadcasting the festival around the world. "Good morning one and all , to the annual festival of the champions. This year held in lovely Sealth village" The announcer said.
"It is my honor and privilege to introduce the regional champions. From the Unova region, Alexandria!" The announcer pointed to the entrance on the northwest side as a woman perhaps in her late 30s walked in. She had long brown hair with blue eyes and wore a black dress.
"From the Sinnoh region, Cynthia!" The announcer pointed to the north eastern entrance as Cynthia entered the stadium. "From the Hoenn Reigion Steven" The announcer said as Steven walked in through the southeastern entrance. "Steven!" May said remembering when her and Ash first met Steven at Dewford.
"Steven is the champion of Hoenn, I knew he was good but I never would have guessed he was the champion" Ash said. "And finnaly the champion of the Kanto region Lance!" The Announcer said as Lance walked in through the southwestern entrance.
"And for a very special guest, Introducing the two best trainers in the world. Daniel and Serina Rian. Daniel and Serina walked into the stadium through the main entrance. Serina was Daniel's wife and was often seen as the only trainer who was at or near his skill level.
Serina was slightly shorter than Daniel. She had dark blue hair with brown eyes and slightly tan skin. Daniel was six feet tall with very dark brown almost black hair. He had eyes so light green they seemed brown.
The announcer handed off the microphone to Daniel. "Welcome one and All, to Sealth village for the festival of champions. I welcome all fans, and all champions. I have the pleasure to announce that these are the match-ups. Our first match-up will be Lance against Alexandria. Out second Match-up will be Cynthia vs Serina, and our third Match-up will be Steven vs myself" Daniel said.
"This is so exciting" Ash said. "Pika pika!" pikachu said. The first match ended with Lance beating Alexandria. The second Match-up began as Serina stood on one end of the arena and Cynthia on the other.
13 years ago Cynthia had tried to become the world champion during the champion tournament. The champion tournament took place once a year. Hundreds of the worlds finniest trainers gathered to compete. In the first two rounds trainers had to compete against each other. In round three the remaining trainers had to face an elite four member from whatever region they were from.
If they beat the elite four trainer they faced another challenger in round 4 and another elite four trainer in round 5. At round 6 the remaining trainers had to beat the regional champion from their home just to continue. Any trainers that did faced each other before moving onto the world champion.
Cynthia had made it all the way to round seven beating the last champion of Sinnoh, but lost to Daniel who would then go on to beat the last world champion Sara Michelson. "This match will be a one on one match. Champions pick your pokemon" The ref said.
"Garchomp go!" Cynthia said. Her Garchomp came out and roared. "I choose you Charzion" Serina said. She sent out her only legendary level pokemon Charizon. Each pokemon had a legendary form.
A legendary form was a form that surpassed a pokemon's final evolution and could only be reached through a level of training and companionship that had never been seen before Daniel. Daniel had 6 pokemon in legendary form, his wife had one. They were the only trainers with pokemon in legendary form.
Charizon was twice as big as even the largest charizard. He had black and red skin with a tail of blue fire not orange. "Wow Charizon , that's just the pokemon I hoped she'd use" Liza said. "Garchomp use dragon rush!" Cynthia said.
"Charizon use focus blast" Serina said. Her Charizon waited until Garchomp was close then unleashed focus blast sending Garchomp flying back into the wall. "Garchomp!" Cynthia said. Garchomp got up ready to fight. "Garchomp use outrage!" Cynthia said.
Garchomp unleashed a massive burst of outrage that impacted Charizon. Charizon looked as if he had taken absolutely no damage at all. "Quick drago meteor!" Cynthia said. Garchomp unleashed a massive draco meteor that flew up then burst into a dozen meteors that flew down at Charizon.
The draco meteor hit Charizon but again it had no effect. "That's one tough pokemon" May said. "Charizon use Overheat" Serina said. Charizon opened his mouth and unleashed a torrent of blue fire bigger than any Ash had ever seen before. "Dodge it!" Cynthia said.
Even if Garchomp had been the fastest pokemon in the world he wouldn't have avoided the attack. When the blue overhead hit garchomp it sent him halfway through the wall. "Garchomp!" Cynthia said.
Garchomp fell to the ground unconsiuous. "Garchomp is unable to battle" The ref said. "Garchomp return" Cynthia said. "Charizon well done return" Serina said. "That was incredible, Cynthia is the best trainer in all of Sinnoh and it Serina less than a minute to knock out her garchomp" Ash said.
"The winner of this match is Serina" The announcer said. After twenty minutes Steven was facing off against Daniel. "This match will be a three on three match done in the same manner of the world champion match" The announcer said.
This style of battling measured the skill of not one of a trainers pokemon but all of them. Each trainer could use a pokemon only once and the person who one the most out of 3 battles was the winner.
"Daniel I did extra training for the festival, but facing you. I think I'll need more time to train" Steven said. "I'm always ready for a battle Steven" Daniel said. "Of course you are the world champion after all" Steven said.
Steven took out a pokeball and sent out his Cradily. Cradily raised his head and readied himself for battle. "Your up Parasuchus" Daniel said. Parasuchus came out and roared as took the field.
Parasuchus was the legendary form of Feraligator. He was twice the size of a normal feraligatr with teeth that stuck out of the mouth even when it was closed. Parasuchus had light brown and tan skin with blue back spikes like feraligatr's but bigger.
"Cradily use ingrain" Steven said. Cradily dug his roots deep under ground and began collecting nutrients. "Excellent now use confuse Ray" Steven said. Cradily's eyes glowed and he unleashed confuse ray on Parasuchus.
Parasuchus staggered backwards trying to stay on his feet. " Cradily use energy ball" Steven said. Cradily unleashed a massive energy ball at Parasuchus. The energyball hit Parasuchus and he staggered backwards. "Nice shot Cradily that was a direct hit" Steven said.
Parasuchus shook his head and then growled looking as if the attack did nothing. "Cradily another energyball" Steven said. "Parasuchus use dragon claw" Daniel said. Parasuchus hit the energyball with a dragonclaw destroying the attack.
"Quick use solarbeam" Steven said. "Parasuchus use giga jaws"Daniel said. With the sun shining bright Cradily was able to unleash solarbeam as Parasuchus charged at him. The solarbeam impacted Parasuchus.
Daniel had trained Parasuchus so well that the grass type attack had no effect on him. Parasuchus reached Cradily and snatched him in his jaws. "Cradily!" Steven said. Parasuchus ripped Cradily out of the ground then hurled him back onto the ground. When Cradily hit the ground he was knocked out and Parasuchus roared in victory.
"Cradily is unable to battle" The ref said. "Cradily return, you did great" Steven said as he returned Cradily. "Parasuchus return , magnificent work" Daniel said. "Daniel's pokemon are like nothing I've ever seen before. Those attacks should have been super effective on a water type like Parasuchus, but they did nothing" May said.
"I can't imagine how much training he and his pokemon must have done" Ash said. "Pika Pika" Pikachu said. "Your Pokemon are as impressive as ever Daniel" Steven said. "Thanks Steven, your are in good shape themselves" Daniel said.
"You've only seen one Daniel; Here's my next little champ" Steven said throwing out his second pokeball. Steven's Aggron came out and roared before the audience. "Your Aggron, well I have just the pokemon for him" Daniel said.
Daniel threw another pokeball out and releashed his Arrogon. Arrogon was the legendary form of Aggron. Arrogon was nearly three times the size of Aggron. He had four massive arms and a spikes back. Arrogon's colors were not the same as Aggron. Arrogon had a platinum colored chest with a more dark titanium colored head and back.
Arrogon roared so loud that it made many in the crowd's teeth rattle. " Arrogon, well you certainly know how to make a man feel inferior" Steven joked. "That wasn't exactly my intention" Daniel said.
"Aggron use fireblast" Steven said. " Arrogon, use seismic toss" Daniel said. Arrogon ran at Aggron through the fireblast and grabbed Aggron with all four of his arms. Arrogon jumped up over 50 feet into the air then came down with Aggron beneith him.
When the dust cleared Arrogon stood over unconsious Aggron. "Aggron!" Steven shouted. "Aggron is unable to battle , the winner is Arrogon and Daniel" The announcer said. Both Steven and Daniel returned their pokemon then walked up to shake hands.
"You're a great trainer Steven I can see how you became the best trainer in Hoenn" Daniel said. "Thanks Daniel that means allot coming from you" Steven said. At noon the festival had officially ended.
Daniel and Serina had left Sealth Village as well as the other champions. While many of the spectators left with them, Ash and May decided to spend one more night there and do some training for May's next contest.
Liza and Charla also stayed behind to help May. Outside the condos Ash's Charizard, his Torterra, and Charla were both standing in front of May's Blaziken. "Charla use flamethrower" Liza said. "Charizard you use flamethrower too, and Torterra use energy ball" Ash said.
All three pokemon launched their attacks at Blazikan. "Blazikan dodge them" May said. Blazikan avoided each attack with great speed. "Nice dodging Blaziken" Ash said. "Thanks for the help guys by the time we get to Fortree city no one will be able to touch Blaziken" May said.
After a few more hours of training it was late at night and Liza had gone back to her condo. Ash and May were inside their condo with all of their pokemon returned to their pokeballs, except Pikachu. Ash was lying on the with Pikachu sleeping on top of the couch above him. May was laying beside Ash with her head on his chest.
"May it's pretty late I think we should get some sleep" Ash said. "I'm to tired to get up, we did too much training with our pokemon today" May said. She gave Ash a short kiss before she rested her head back on his chest and fell asleep. Ash couldn't get up without waking her so he simply closed his eyes and drifted away into the night.
