Ch 51: Round two
Ash stood at one end of the battlefield in Stadium B as his opponent a young woman from Fortree city. Her name was Allison and she was about 16 years old with reddish hair and slightly tan skin.
"Round two allows each trainer to use three pokemon and three pokemon only. When one trainer has used all of their pokemon they are out" The ref said. Allison took out a pokeball " It's time to show these people what you can do Camerupt" Allison said. A large camerupt came out and stomped his hoofs into the ground.
"Alright your time to go noctowl" Ash said. Noctowl came out of his pokeball and flew over Ash. "Camerupt use flamethrower" Allison said. "Noctowl dodge and use foresight" Ash said. Noctowl flew away from the incoming fire and used his psychic power to gain a clear sight at camerupt.
"Camerupt use double team" Allison said. Camerupt made copies of himself around Noctowl. "Noctowl use confusion" Ash said. Noctowl's eyes glowed blue as he focused in on the real camerupt and lifted him off the ground. "I How did noctowl know which one was the real camerupt?" Max said. "Foresight it honed in on camerupt" Felix said.
Noctowl hurled Camerupt into the ground. "Camerupt use fireblast" Allison said. Camerupt opened his mouth and unleashed the powerful blast. "Noctowl move!" Ash said. The fireblast was to fast and noctowl was hit. "That's not good fire type moves are really effective against flying types" Max said.
Noctowl dropped a few feet but regained his flight. "Camerupt use flame burst" Allison said. "Noctowl dodge and use zen headbutt" Ash said. Noctowl evaded the burst of fire and impacted camerupt. "No you don't, camerupt use lava plume" Allison said.
Before noctowl could move away from his opponent he was hit with lava plume. "Jeeze this just keeps going back and forth" Barry said. "Noctowl are you ok?" Ash said. Noctowl got back into the air and looked down at Camerupt. "Alright, Noctowl use sky attack" Ash said. Noctowl flew high into the air and then turned around toward camerupt.
"Camerupt use eruption" Allison said. Camerupt's attack engulfed noctowl in fire. "Oh no noctowl!" Ash said. Despite being hit with the inferno Noctowl was still able to still unleash sky attack on camerupt. After camerupt was hit he was knocked unconsious. "Camerupt is unable to battle" The ref said. Moments later noctowl fainted from the burns. "Noctowl is also unable to battle" The ref said.
"Noctowl return, you did great" Ashs aid. "Camerupt return, you managed to bring down one of his pokemon down" Allison said. "Ok time to show them what we can do Ludicolo" Allison said. Her Ludicolo came out and started dancing around. "Ok I choose you Torkoal" Ash said. Torkoal came out and puffed soot out of his nostrils.
"Ludicolo use scald" Allison said. "Torkoal use iron defense" Ash said. Torkoal got into his shell and tightened his defenses. The hot water hit Torkoal but he emerged unscaved. "Torkoal use curse" Ash said. Torkoal started glowing violet and he lost some of his speed. At the same time his defensive and offensive power both raised.
"Ludicolo use water gun" Allison said. "Torkoal use iron defense" Ash said. Torkoal went back into his shell to absorb the blow. The water gun hit Torkoal's shell but didn't harm Torkoal. "Ash's tokoal is absorbing those attacks like nothing i've ever seen before" Max said.
"Torkoal use flamethrower" Ash said. "Ludicolo use protect" Allison said. Ludicolo threw up a green barrier over himself absorbing the flamethrower. "Ludicolo use double team" Allison said. Ludicolo made a dozen copies of himself around torkoal. "Perfect now use fling" Allison said. "Torkoal use firespin" Ash said.
Torkoal unleashed his attack on the nearest ludicolo but it was only a copy. The real ludicolo reached torkoal and flipped him onto his back. "Yes now use hydropump" Allison said. "Torkoal get off your back!" Ash said. Torkoal desperatly shook himself to get off his back but he was too slow. Torkoal was hit with hydropump and felt imense pain all over his body.
"Ludicolo another hydro pump quick before he can get up" Allison said. "Torkoal you need to get up now!" Ash said. "Pika!" Pikachu said. Torkoal shook himself again and again until he was back on hit feet. Despite getting back onto his feet torkoal wasn't able to get back into his shell before the hydrop pump hit him.
"Oh no Torkoal!" Ash said. "That's not good two hydropumps in a row" Felix said. "He can pull this off I know he can" May said. "Torkoal can you still fight?" Ash said. Torkoal was panting heavily after the hydropump ended. "Ludicolo finnesh this with one more hydropump" Allison said.
"Torkoal smokescreen!" Ash said. Torkoal filled the field with smoke making it impossible for ludicolo to see him. Ludicolo's hydro pump missed its mark completely, "Ludicolo keep your eyes open" Allison said. "Torkoal use overheat" Ash said. Torkoal came out from the smoke and unleashed his most powerful attack.
"Ludicolo use protect" Allison said. Ludicolo tried to throw up protect but was too late. The overheat engulfed Ludicolo in fire, knocking him unconsious. "Ludicolo is unable to battle" The ref said. "Great work Torkoal" Ash said. "Well that was close" Red said. "See what did I tell you he pulled it off" May said.
"Ludicolo return. Alright we can still do this, Go Skarmory" Allison said. Allison's skarmory came out of his pokeball and flew into the air. "Torkoal get some rest" Ash said. He returned torkoal to his pokeball. "Why did Ash send Torkoal back he has a major advantage" Max said. "Keep in mind he was hit with two hydro pumps, I think Ash made the right descision" Felix said.
"I choose you Gliscor" Ash said. Gliscore came out of his pokeball and flew into the air. "Skarmory use sand attack" Allison said. Skarmory flew down and picked sand from the ground with his talons. "Gliscor use rain dance" Ash said. When the sand hit gliscor's eyes he had already started the rain dance. The water washed the sand out of his eyes and Gliscor could see.
"Shoot, air slash Skarmory" Allison said. "Gliscor use agility" Ash said. Gliscor moved like lightning away from Skarmory as he flew toward him. "Skarmory use double team" Allison said. Glisor made a dozen copies of himself around gliscor.
"Steel wing" Allison said. All of the skarmory copies flew at Gliscor until they were very close. "Gliscor use Guillotine" Ash said. Gliscor's reflexes were so tight he grabbed skarmory the moment he was within reach. Gliscor's pinchers clamped down on Skarmory knocking him out instantly.
"Guillotine is a one hit KO I guess Ash was just waiting for the right time to use it" Morrison said. "Skarmory is unable to battle, the winner of this match is Ash Ketchum" The ref said. "Alright Gliscor!" Ash said. Gliscor flew back down to Ash and wrapped his pinchers around him and pikachu.
"Skarmory return, we made it pretty far into the pokemon league, that's something to be proud of" Allison said. Later that night at the Hotel Ash and May were with Ash's parents in their room.
"I don't get it if the sea temple was saved why would the pirate try and steal manaphy instead of going right back in to take the sea crown?" Felix said. "well Phantom wasn't very bright" Ash said. "I'm surprised he even found Manaphy's egg" May said.
"Sometimes I wish I could be with you when you go on these little adventures, then I'm reminded how many times you nearly get yourself killed" Deila said. "She's got a point Ash" Felix said. "I'm still here aren't I" Ash said. "Well I'd appreciate it if you'd try to keep yourself more safe" Delia said.
Later that night May and Pikachu were already asleep but Ash was staring outside at the stars. "I wonder how charizard is doing his baby is probably born by now" Ash said to himself. Ash started to think about his other pokemon that weren't with him. Butterfree, Pidgeot, and Lapras. He closed his eyes and felt the aura of everything around him. The aura was very peaceful; nothing was astir or out-of-place just peaceful.
Ash walked back into the room and laid down next to May. He gave her a kiss and put his head back on the pillow. "Finally I thought you'd be out there all night" May said. She moved her arms around Ash and pulled herself close to him. "Were you waiting for me to come to bed?" Ash said. "Maybe, and one more thing" May said. She kissed Ash for a few seconds then said. "That's a good night kiss".
