Ch 55: Ash Vs Morrison
Inside the main stadium in Ever Grande City, the moltres flame burned over the rest of the stadium. Every seat in the stadium was filled and countless fans were watching the stadium on tv across the world. The master of ceremonies was in the center of the battlefield. "Goodmoring ladies and gentlemen, pokemon fans, and pokemon trainers. It is a beautiful day here in Evergrande city as the final match of this years pokemon league get's underway" He said.
The master of ceremonies turned to a blimp in the air that was broadcasting the match. "Both of our trainers have trained long and hard to get where they are today. They've faced countless challenges and overcame numberous skilled opponents. Now they face the most difficult opponent yet, eachother!". The master of ceremonies turned to the west side of the stadium.
"Our first finalist is a young man from Verdanturf Town. He's competed in the pokemon league before but sadley didn't win. Now he's back for another chance to prove himself, I give you Morrison!". Morrison walked onto the battlefield and took his place at his end. Morrison looked up at the crowd and took out two pokeballs. "It's time to see the Sameri win!" He shouted.
"Now for our other finalist. From Pallot town, this young man has competed in every pokemon league in the world. He hasn't won any of them yet but he's made it farther now than he ever has before. Now the only thing standing in his way of victory is the trainer he already beat five years ago. I give you Ash Ketchum!" The master of ceremonies said.
Ash walked onto the field with Pikachu on his shoulder. "Yeah Ash!" May shouted. "This is it, you can do it son!" Felix shouted. "Ok Ash , you better give me the match of my life" Morrison said. "Oh we will Morrison, me and my pokemon" Ash said. "Good, cause I'm ready to fight!" Morrison said.
The ref walked to the edge of the field and raised both his flags. "Match begin!" . "This is it, go Steelix!" Morrison said. Morrison's steelix came out and roared as he hit the ground. "We've come father than we ever have before. I know we can do this. I chose you Donphan!" Ash said. Donphan came out in front of Ash and slammed the ground with his feet.
"Steelix use screech" Morrison said. "Donphan use defensive curl" Ash said. Just as Steelix let out a piercing screech to lower Donphan's defenses Donphan raised his defensive status canceling the screech's effect. "Nice move by Ash" Red said.
"Ok use Autotomize" Morrison said. Steelix shed extra metal off his body to increase his speed. "Donphan use scary face" Ash said. Donphan made a terrifying expression on his face that send a chill down Steelix's spine and slowed him down. "Geeze these two just keep going back and forth with stat moves" Max said. "Ash is being smart, he's counteracting all of Morrison's moves" Felix said.
"So stat moves aren't going to work huh. Ok Steelix use iron tail" Morrison said. "Donphan use bulldoze" Ash said. Donphan charged at Steelix as the massive steel snake raised his tail and crashed it down on Donphan. Despite being hit by the iron tail Donphan continued with his bulldoze. The attack was very effective against Steelix, knocking the massive snake back toward the other end of the field.
"Steelix are you ok?" Morrison said. Steelix got up and said "Steelix" With determination. "Ok Steelix use dig" Morrison said. Steelix burrowed himself underground. "Donphan use defensive curl" Ash said. Donphan curled himself up raising his defensive status. Steelix surfaced hurling donphan across the field. The blow was not quite as harmful to donphan because he was in a defensive curl.
"Donphan use rollout" Ash said. Donphan curled up again and hurled himself at steelix. "Steelix use dig" Morrison said. Steelix burrowed underground again before Donphan could hit him. "That's not going to work Morrison. Donphan use earthquake" Ash said. Donphan jumped up then crashed his huffs into the ground causing a massive earthquake that shook the entire stadium.
"Oh no Steelix!" Morrison said. Steelix resurfaced unconscious from the attack. "Ash knew that earthquake is even more effective when your opponent is underground" Felix said. "Steelix return, get some rest Steelix" Morrison said. "This is good Ash has the lead" May said. "True but Morrison is far from beaten" Max said.
Morrison took out another pokeball. "That's some donphan Ash, but it won't be enough to stop me" Morrison said. "Go Arcanine" Morrison said. Arcanine came out and roared at Donphan. "Arcanine use flamethrower" Morrison said. "Donphan use defensive curl" Ash said. Donphan curled up to raise his defense status as the fire hit him.
"Oh no you don't Arcanine use roar" Morrison said. The roar sent donphan flying back and out of his defensive curl. "Perfect now use fireblast" Morrison said. Arcanine unleashed a massive symbol shaped burst of fire that hit and knocked out donphan. "Donphan is unable to battle" The ref said. "Yeah Arcanine, we come right back" Morrison said.
"That's one powerful arcanine" Red said. "Well he did knock out two of my pokemon" Max said. "Donphan return, get some rest. I chose you Tauros" Ash said. Ash sent out one of his tauros and the bull smacked his hoofs into the ground.
"Arcanine us flamethrower" Morrison said. Tauros use protect" Ash said. Tauros created a green barrier over himself that absorbed the blow. "Firefang arcanine" Morrison said. "Tauros use horn attack" Ash said. Tauros lowered his horns forward and ran at Arcanine. Arcanine set his fangs on fire and ran at Tauros. When they collided Tauros's left horn was in arcanine's jaws. The heat from the firefang radiated onto tauros but arcanine's jaw was in pain from the struggle.
"Don't let him go arcanine!" Morrison said. Despite the pain arcanine knew that if he let go of Tauros he would get hit with horn attack. "Tauros you can do it come on!" Ash said. "Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted. Tauros doubled his efforts and got his horn out of Arcanine's mouth. As soon as he did he bashed his horns into Arcanine's head.
"Arcanine get away from him, use extremespeed" Morrison said. Arcanine rushed back away from tauros. "Arcanine use flamethrower" Morrison said. Arcanine used flamethrower and the fire flew at tauros. "Protect" Ash said. Tauros threw another barrier over himself just in time to absorb the attack. "With that protect combination Ash is doing great" May said.
"Don't underestimate Morrison May" Max said. "Alright Arcanine, use extremespeed and fireblast" Morrison said. "Tauros use zen headbutt" Ash said. Tauros rushed at Arcanine with incredible speed but Arcanine was faster when he used extremespeed.
When Arcanine was clear he unleashed fireblast and the symbol shaped fire hit Tauros. "Tauros are you ok?!" Ash said. Tauros shook off the pain and let out a puff of breath."Arcanine use flamecharge" Morrison said. "Tauros use giga impact" Ash said. The two pokemon collided using all of their power in their attacks. When Arcanine and Tauros collided a large cloud of dust over them. "Who won?" Caroline said.
"Tauros!" Ash saod. "Arcanine!" Morrison said. When the cloud of dust cleared both pokemon were unscounscious. "Both trainer's pokemon are unable to battle" The ref said. "Tauros return, i'm really proud of you" Ash said. "Arcanine return, get some rest buddy you earned it. Well Ash this is even more exciting than last time but I'm not going to lose. Go Girafarig" Morrison said.
His Girafarig came out and stomped his feet into the ground. "Crawdaunt I chose you" Ash said. His crawdaunt came out and slammed his claws into each other. "Crawdaunt use leer" Ash said. Crawdaunt unleashed leer and girafarig's defenses fell. "Girafarig use agility" Morrison said. Girafarig increased his speed and tightened his reflexes.
"Crawdaunt use bubblebeam" Ash said. "Girafarig dodge and use confusion" Morrison said. Girafarig used his speed to avoid the bubblebeam then unleashed his psycic attack on crawdaunt. "Crawdaunt use harden" Ash said. Crawdaunt tightened his defenses, lessening the impact of the confusion.
"Crawdaunt use vicegrip" Ash said. Crawdaunt rushed at Girafarig as fast as he could. "Girafarig dodge and use confusion" Morrison said. Girafarig avoided the attack and unleashed another confusion on crawdaunt. "Keep it up Girafarig we're doing great" Morrison said.
Ash thought before he made his next move. "I got it, Crawdaunt use icebeam" Ash said. Crawdaunt unleashed icebeam toward girafarig. "Dodge it Morrison said. Girafarig avoided the attack a little too easily. "Ha nice shot" Morrison said.
"Crawdaunt use crabhammer" Ash said. "Dodge it" Morrison said. Girafarig tried to avoid the attack but the ground was icey from Crawdaunt's attack. Girafarig couldn't gain any good footing as he slipped on the ice. Crawdaunt moved along the ice easily and smashed Girafarig across the head. "Girafarig !" Morrison said. "Crawdaunt use knock off" Ash said. Crawdaunt was still close enough to Girafarig to immediately launch his attack.
"Oh no!" Morrison said. When Girafarig landed he was unconscious. "Girafarig is unable to battle" The ref said. "Yes, nice work Crawdaunt" Ash said. "Girafarig return. you did good" Morrison said. "Yes Ash is in the lead again" May said. Morrison took out his next pokeball and smiled. "We're not beaten yet Ash. Go Mightyena" Morrison said.
Mightyena came out and growled at Crawdaunt. "Crawdaunt use bubblebeam" Ash said. "Mightyena dodge and use sand attack" Morrison said. Mightyena quickly jumped to the side and splashed sand into Crawdaunt's eyes. "Mightyena use howl" Morrison said. "Crawdaunt use harden" Ash said. Mightyena let out a loud howl that raised his attack power while Crawdaunt hardened his shell and raised his defenses.
"Mightyena use sand attack" Morrison said. "Crawdaunt use bubblebeam" Ash said. Mightyena splashed sand toward Crawdaunt. Crawdaunt opened his left claw and unleashed a harsh bubblebeam that soaked up the sand attack. "Mightyena move!" Morrison said. Mightyena was too late and the bubblebeam hit him. "Mightyena use giga impact" Morrison said.
Mightyena grit his fangs then ran straight throught the bubblebeam and hit crawdaunt. "Crawdaunt!" Ash said. "Pika!" Pikachu said. When Mightyena got off Crawdaunt, Ash's pokemon was knocked out. "Crawdaunt is unable to battle" The ref said. "Alright Mightyena" Morrison said. "Crawdaunt return, you deserve a rest. Ok I chose you Glalie" Ash said.
Glalie came out and floated above the ground. "Mightyena use sand attack" Morrison said. "Glalie use icy wind" Ash said. Glalie opened his mouth and let out a gust of cold wind that caught the sand and sent it back at Mightyena. "Oh no Mightyena" Morrison said. Mightyena tried to wipe the sand out of his eyes. "Glalie use icebeam" Ash said. Glalie launched a powerful icebeam that impacted Mightyena.
"Mightyena lets keep it going come on" Morrison said. Mightyena got back up and growled at Glalie. "Mightyena use giga impact" Morrison said. "Glalie use giga impact" Ash said. Both pokemon charged up their power then flew at eachother. Glalie and Mightyena were both knocked back. "Mightyena!" Morrison said. "Glalie!" Ash said. Both pokemon got up and growled eachother.
"Ok Mightyena Giga impact everything you got" Morrison said. "Glalie, giga impact full power" Ash said. Glalie and Mightyena charged at eachother giving everything they had when they impacted. After the collision both pokemon were knocked out. "Both pokemon are unable to battle" The ref said.
"Now they're tied up" Max said. "It's ok Ash can still do this"May said. "Mightyena return, good work" Morrison said. "Glalie return, rest up" Ash said. "Well Ash we're all tied up now. Now I'm going to win. Go Metang" Morrison said. Metang came out and floated above the ground. "I chose you Sceptile" Ash said. Sceptile came out and spun in the air before he landed on the ground.
"Metang use bullet punch" Morrison said. "Sceptile dodge and use leer" Ash said. Sceptile acrobaticly jumped back as Metang unleashed a furry of punches toward Sceptile. When he was in the air Sceptile unleashed leer, lowering metang's defenses. "Metang use hyperbeam" Morrison said. "Sceptile dodge and use leer" Ash said. Sceptile jumped back narrowly avoiding the hyperbeam.
When he was clear Sceptile used leer lowering metang's defenses even furthure. Ash knew Metang's defenses were strong so his plan was to slowly wear him down. "I know what you're doing Ash. Nice try Metang use lock on" Morrison said. Metang focused in on Sceptile closely. "Oh no, Sceptile use detect" Ash said. Sceptile prepared himself to evade. "Ha just what I wanted you to do. Metang use Scary face" Morrison said.
Metang put on a truely terrifying expression that slowed down Sceptile. "Now Metang use zen headbutt" Morrison said. "Sceptile move" Ash said. Sceptile tried to move but the scary face slowed him down and he was hit with the zen headbutt. "Nice work Metang" Morrison said. Sceptile quickly got back up and faced metang. "We can do this Sceptile use focus blast" Ash said. "Metang use meteor mash" Morrison said.
The crowd watched closely as the two pokemon collided. When the collision ended both pokemon were unconscious. "No way" Max said. "This is the most intense match of the Hoenn league" Red said. "Come on Ash you can do this!" May shouted.
"Metang return, you did great buddy" Morrison said. "Sceptile return, get some rest, you earned it" Ash said. "Well Ash I think I know what pokemon you're ending with" Morrison said as he stared at pikachu. "I got just the pokemon for him, go swampert" Morrison said. Swampert came out and pounded his feet into the ground.
"Morrison, this has been one of the greatest battles i've ever had. My pokemon and I have come a long way,Now I'm going to make them proud" Ash said. Instead of sending out pikachu Ash took out a pokeball. "I chose you!" he said. Out of the pokeball came a massive bird pokemon. "Is that!?" Delia said. The pokemon Ash had sent out was his Pidgeot.
"I thought he released that Pidgeot?" Delia said. "Nice Pidgeot, swampert use foresight" Morrison said. "Pidgeot use twister" Ash said. Pidgeot whipped up a tornado of dragon energy around himself. "Swampert use mudbomb" Morrison said.
Pidgeot flew inside the twister toward swampert as mudbomb got torn apart by the twister. "What!?" Morrrison said. Pidgeot hit swampert with twister then quickly flew back toward Ash. "Wow that's one powerful Pidgeot" Norman said. "Swampert use muddywater" Morrison said. Swampert sent out a massive weave of water filled with thick mud. Ash waited until the muddy water was close. "Pidgeot use fly" Ash said.
Pidgeot flew up high into the air just in time to avoid the crest of the wave. "How fast is that thing?" Morrison said. Pidgeot flew back down and hit Swampert with fly. "That's it Pidgeot" Ash said. "Pika!" Pikachu said. "This is it swampert we need to get this guy, Hammer arm full power" Morrison said.
"Pidgeot use giga impact" Ash said. Pidgeot flew up high to gain some altitude before dropping down with incredible speed. Swampert gathered all of his remaining energy for his last attack. After the two pokemon collided there was absolute silence. Ash and Morrison were both gritting their teeth as the dust cleared. "Come on" May said. Felix and Delia were also gritting their teeth. "You can do it son, I know you can" Felix said.
When the dust cleared swampert was on the ground unsconscious with Pidgeot standing on top of him. "Swampert is unable to battle, the winner is Ash Ketchum of Pallet town" The ref said. The crowd immediately went into an uproar of applause. Ash didn't say or do anything , he just stood there staring at Pidgeot.
"We did it, we won. We actually won" Ash said. "He did it, He did it!" May said. Ash took out all of his pokeballs and sent out his other pokemon. "Guys, we won, we won the Hoenn league!" Ash said. All seven of Ash's pokemon came together with him and embraced each other.
Morrison walked over to Swampert and helped him up. "Swampert, I'm proud of you. We made it all the way here" Morrison said. He returned swampert and walked over to Ash. "Ash, thank you for giving me the greatest match of my life" Morrison said. "Thank you Morrison, for giving me the greatest championship match ever" Ash said. The two shook hands.
Hours later fireworks were shot into the sky and Ash was standing on a pavilion with Morrison and Harrison next to him. "I'm so proud of him, he won his first pokemon league" Delia said. "He earned this, he's gottan so much stronger" May said.
Ash was standing on the first place spot with Morrison to his left on the 2nd place and Harrison to his right on the third place spot. "We finally did it Pikachu, we won a pokemon league" Ash said. "Pika chu!" Pikachu said excitedly. The pavilion was facing the moltres flame above the stadium.
After the fireworks ended several men walked up to the pavilion. Ash recognized one of them as Steven. When the men arrived Ash saw they had three trophies with them. "congratulations trainers, you have made it farther than any trainer has this year. Now you shall be recognized for your skills" Steven said. "Harrison, I am proud to award you with the third place title" Steven said as he took the bronze trophy and handed it to Harrison.
"Morrison, I congratulate you on being this year's runner up and award you second place" Steven said as he handed Morrison a silver trophy. "Now for this years winner of the Hoenn Ever Grande league. Ash Ketchum of Pallet town " Steven said as he handed Ash the trophy and shook his hand.
"congratulations young man, you're a magnificent trainer" Steven said. "Thanks Steven, it's an honor to win my first pokemon league" Ash said. "Well we have another little surprise for you" Steven said.
He got of Ash's way and revealed another two men behind him. Ash almost dropped the trophy when he saw the one on the right was none other than Daniel Rian. "Oh my god it's the world champion!" Max said. "I wish could get a chance to talk with Daniel" Delia said. "It would be nice to reminisce with him" Felix said. "Wait a minute you two know him personally!?" Red said.
"We grew up together in Pallet town" Felix said. "Wow how come that never came up?" Norman said. Daniel stepped up to Ash and looked down at him. "Ash Ketchum, I thought i'd find you here some day. You're just like your father" Daniel said. "Thank you sir, it's an honor to meet you" Ash said.
"You're an ace trainer Ash, and as this years winner you've earned a very special reward" Daniel said. "Really" Ash said. "Yes, your reward is another match. With a member of the Hoenn elite four" Daniel said. Ash didn't know what to say next. "Ash get's to face off against someone from the elite four, wow!" Max said. "I can't believe it, this is so exciting" May said.
"So who am I facing?" Ash said. "You already know him personally, you faced him here five years ago" Daniel said. He stepped back and the other man who was with him stepped forward. "Hello Ash, congratulations on winning" Tyson said. Ash realized it was Tyson standing in front of him. "Tyson you're in the Hoenn elite four , congratulations" Ash said.
"Thanks Ash, I'm glad you won today. I've been looking forward to a rematch with you ever since we faced each other five years ago" Tyson said. "Ash pick your pokemon tonight, tomorrow you and Tyson will face each other. Good luck" Daniel said.
Later that night in his room Ash was in bed with May laying next to him. "I'm so proud of you Ash, I knew you'd win" May said. "I knew I had you supporting me, that's all I needed" Ash said. May leaned in toward's Ash's head and kissed him. When she withdrew Ash's face was a little red. "So do you know what pokemon you're using tomorrow? May asked.
"I have my six pokemon chosen, Pikachu is definitely one of them" Ash said as he stroked Pikachu across his head. "tomorrow match will be the most difficult match of my life. Tyson was hard enough five years ago. Now he's a member of the elite four" Ash said. "You've gotten a lot better to Ash. Just give all you got out there tomorrow and it won't matter if you win or lose" May said. Ash rested his head back and looked up at the ceiling. "I can do this, I'm ready for my rematch with Tyson. This time I'm going to win" Ash said.
