Connor's POV

Dan and Liz have drastically improved for these past three days. Liz may have lost but she has shown improvement since the first time I saw her battle. Dan on the other hand had greatly improved, after three days his Pokemon have improved greatly like Liz's but on a larger scale.

I was excited to see who Dan would battle next as I quietly looked at the large screen with my eyes being covered by my shades; everyone else's eyes were glued to the screen as the next battle results appeared.

Dan Ketchum vs Raina Chang

Parker McKnight vs Artemis Night

Everyone sighed in relief as the battles were shown. Dan grinned as Raina walked over and slung an arm over his shoulder as they started to converse. Parker was then dragged away by Artemis as they started to talk about their upcoming battle after the 20 minute break. Each one my friends except B, Seaerral and Sky went to the healing station outside to tend their Pokemon while I was left alone with Animus as always.

I sighed and turned around and I came crashing into someone. I fell to the ground on top of a person, I opened my eyes and I was greeted by a pair of angry blue eyes. I nervously laughed as everyone in the room looked at me and Quincy. We were in a very awkward position.

I heard Animus mentally said "Good luck Partner."

"Hullo…"

"GET OFF ME YOU IDIOT!"

My face was hit by a hard punch delivered by Stonecold herself. Everyone cringed at the hit as quickly she quickly stood up. Her face was angry yet having a small shade of red that was probably a figment of my damn imagination.

I got back up as well and my shades were hanging on my face as she glared at me and said "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING STUPID! WHY THE HELL IN RAYQUAZA'S NAME DID YOU RUN INTO ME!"

I held my hands up defensively and said "I didn't do anything; I should ask what were you doing? You ran into me."

She was practically fuming now yet I felt no joy for this, only regret that I accidently started something. She angrily said "Me running into you?! It was so obviously your fault! It was probably with you and your stupid shades that got you running into me."

I just had enough of this woman and I actually yelled this time. "Excuse me! Mother always said whenever you run into someone the blame is to be shared, not to be taken by one so please acting like a little girl!"

She raised her hand tried to slap me but I caught her arm, held it tight and said "Look, I'm sorry alright! Can't we just put this behind us?!"

Quincy was about to retort when the employee, Hal stepped forward and said "If any of you two continue you cannot participate in your tournament!"

I let go of her hand and she turned away from me and stormed off leaving me there stunned and red faced with Animus holding back his snickers. Everyone looked at me but then B, Seaerral and Sky approached me and B started saying "Nothing to see here folks, move along!"

The others left me alone with my two friends, I saw Vincent snickering with his two goons, Ken laughing his ass off at Quincy's reaction and the others were just silent with their faces just filled with curiosity. B put one of his hands on one my shoulders and said "Dude you are absolutely horrible at flirting."

Seaerral face palmed at B's statement while Sky just chuckled. B just didn't stop there he grinned and said "Man dude you really need to work on your skills. I mean I could show you the ropes since you must really like that girl."

My eyes widened and I said "Uh, no I absolutely in no way would I ever like her."

B's grin somehow got even wider. "Oh really, never say never bro. Anyway if you need any help old B can help you bro."

I glanced at Seaerral who rolled her eyes and at Sky who was having a faint smile on his face. My face turned to B who was still grinning and I said "Not to be rude or anything B but I would have to decline your generous request. Maybe you could help someone else with your skills."

The skinny guy turned around and put his fist on his chest and said "You're right Connor. There is someone out there who needs my help and boy golly B Andy's gonna be there to help."

Seaerral grabbed his head in an elbow lock and said "Now Connor don't give him an even bigger head than what he already has."

B grinned and said "I know you like it. So wanna go out?"

"No."

"Damn."

Sky and I burst into laughter as B pouted and started to get blue and choke a bit under the all blue clothed girl's grip. She let him go and the skinny flirt fell to the ground struggling to breathe. Sky patted the girl on the back and said "Hey maybe you should get him checked up on. I kind of have to talk to Connor also watch out, B might get more annoying than before."

She looked at the gasping boy and said "Sure, come on B lets go check on our Pokemon."

B got up along with Seaerral and said "Wait up!"

I chuckled along with Animus and then Sky said "Connor I need to speak with you."

My gaze turned to him as I sat down while Animus stood up. "So what is it?"

"Someone is out to get Dan."

"Bloody what?!"

I nearly fell of my seat with surprise. Who would want to get Dan?

"Forgive me for being rude a while ago. Who is it?"

Sky shifted a bit in his seat and said "Well I don't really know but do you know why Dan was late for his battle?"

Come to think of it, I really didn't know why so I guessed because he was lost. I shook my head while Animus leaned in with interest. "No I don't. I what happened to him? I never got the chance to ask him."

Sky cracked his gloved hands and said "Well I found him in the halls being chased by a large Ariados, I saved Dan from it with one of my Pokemon but I didn't quite get a good look at it. It was too big and tough to be wild so I think someone has to own it."

An Ariados chasing Dan… I'll have to look into this but for now….

"Thank you Sky. I'll ask Dan about it too."

He gave an approving nod and said "Keep watch over the two of them. They're good kids."

I nodded as he stood and walked away from me once again leaving me alone with Animus who had fallen asleep on his seat.

Dan's POV

I had just given my Pokemon to get healed by Nurse Joy along with my other friends. My next battle was with Raina, she was tough opponent for sure since she quickly finished off Mark in the qualifiers. I had to be ready with my team of three to win against her.

Liz was just tapping on the counter with her fingers as the others were as occupied as we were. Ben peeping on Mark's phone while Mark was giving him a 'Do you mind?' glare, Raina was chatting with Artemis about their next battle and of course Parker was looking like he was trying to be ripped in half by Ness and Vanessa who were tugging at his arms.

I turned to Liz and said "So… How's it going?"

She looked at me with a sarcastic face that just read 'Real Nice' and said "Really Dan? Really?"

"What?"

Liz swept her long ponytail while rolling her eyes and said "Nothing. So ready for your next battle? Who do you think will you use?"

Instantly I would say the strongest battlers in my team. Jordan, Luke and Emil but then again I want to use Matt and Hannah so I said "I'll go with Luke, Hannah and Emil."

She seemed like she was a bit surprised and said "Really? You're going to use Hannah? I know she's strong but is she capable of battle now?"

"I think."

She opened her mouth to reply but then Nurse Joy rang the bell signaling us that all of our Pokemon are ready. I took my Pokeballs and let out Jordan and Luke. Liz on the other hand just let out her Eevee to watch.

Everyone was heading back to the waiting area but everyone stopped when we saw a tall, slim beautiful girl with long, wavy platinum blonde hair. She was wearing a gorgeous sleeveless pink and white sleeveless dress with floral designs with a pair of matching designer high heels.

She was with two girls who looked almost as pretty as her but they were nothing compared to how she looked like. She walked with grace along with her clique to the door but then B went to her and said "Hel-lo beautiful."

She turned her head and walked past B without even acknowledging him but she stopped when she saw Quincy glaring at her and she and her group went up to her and said "Well if it isn't little flower. I didn't know that low quality trash was allowed in this tournament even though it looks absolutely terrible. I guess their standards were really low."

Everyone was startled by her words, someone so pretty and good looking having such a venomous and sharp tongue was quite a turn-off. Quincy clenched her fists and said "Hello Vivian, you finally want me to wipe the floor with you in a battle?"

Her clique laughed along with her and she said "Don't be so imaginative darling. No wonder you never won anything. Unlike me of course, I just grace this tournament by being in this very room."

I held my hand up and whispered to Liz "Man, she is really mean."

"You know it. Arceus she is as evil as ever."

I tilted my head and said "You talk as if you know her."

She froze a bit and said "Uh, no. She's just from those contest videos I watch."

My head turned to the two girls glaring at each other like they were waiting for one to set on fire. Quincy crossed her arms and said "Grace this tournament huh? So I bet you think you'll win the whole thing don't you?"

She scoffed and said "Why darling of course I'm going to win. I'm Vivian Westwood, the princess of Hoenn, the winner of last year's Grand Festival, the heir to the Westwood Throne of Royalty."

Quincy held up her hand to her face and said "I don't give the slightest care about your titles. Just prove them in battle, not through talk."

Vivian started to fume as Quincy gave a faint smile at her and she was about to speak when Liz grabbed my hand and said "Hey! She's right you know! Don't brag about your titles; prove them in battle like a real trainer. Right Dan?"

Vivian and her clique glared at us, Liz could be so reckless but at least she was helping a friend, because I know I would have too. "Yeah! So shut your mouth and prove it in battle."

Her clique was speechless while Vivian said "Come on girls, we're wasting our time here around these losers."

The three of them stormed away while Quincy walked up to us and said "I didn't need your help but thanks for helping me. No one has ever been so nice to me except you, Dan and as much as I really hate to admit it, Shades."

I noticed her say Connor's nickname in somewhat annoyance that I was about to question but then Liz said "No problem. I just really didn't like her too, she was a total brat. But how do you know her?"

She wagged her finger and said "That's a story for later. But now your friend Dan has to get to his battle."

We all looked at the small TV screen at the corner and Raina was just walking on the field and I held my cap down and ran as fast as I could to the battlefield and said "Wish me luck guys! I'm gonna need it!"

I reached my area in a record of two minutes with me completely out of breath, Connor tried to talk to me for a bit but I told him I was late. Jordan was patting my back as the MC said "And battling the Cerulean Star Raina is the youngest Pallet Prince, Dan Ketchum!"

I waved to the cheering crowd as much as I could as I was struggling for breath. Raina smiled a bit and said "You okay Dan?"

I waved my hand and said "Completely fine. Let's get this party started."

"The two semi final battles will happen simultaneously in each battlefield. Each trainer will now use three Pokemon. The winner will advance to the finals. Battle Begin!"

"Emil Its Go Time!"

"Growlithe Lets Do This Thing!"

Out of the Pokeballs came two Pokemon. In my Pokeball came out a large feathered Pokemon that cried out for battle as soon as he was visible. Out of Raina's Pokeball came a small bright orange dog like Pokemon that had black stripes all over its body. On top of its head was a tuft of soft fur.

"It's Braviary versus Growlithe! Tucker, Misty, what are your insights and predictions?"

Tucker gladly took the mike and said "I do think that Raina can win this. She has shown great battling potential and her move sets are very diverse."

Misty took the mike and said "Do not count Dan out yet, he has surprised us multiple times at this tournament."

"Thank you! Now the battle has begun!"

I grinned at Raina and said "Cerulean Star huh? Nice title."

"Flattery isn't going to help you Dan." She said with a smile, "Growlithe Flamethrower!"

The small fire type blasted a torrent of hot red flames towards Emil.

"Dodge it Emil and use Aerial Ace!"

Emil did a flip in the air to dodge the fire attack and shot towards Growlithe at a high speed.

"Ready Growlithe…..Fire Blast!"

As soon as Emil came close enough, the fire type released a powerful blast of fire from its mouth, landing a direct and powerful hit on Emil who got knocked back to the ground with a thud and just when I though Emil had recovered, he roared in pain as his entire body was set ablaze.

"Folks, it looks like Dan's Braviary had just been hit by a devastating Fir Blast and he was also hit with the effects of burn!"

"Oh no!" I said completely worried, "Come on Emil, use one of our new moves Wild Charge!"

Emil flew towards Growlithe as he was crackling with electricity and then Raina said "Growlithe use Flamethrower!"

Emil still charged as the Growlithe realeased the fire attack from its maw but it didn't affect Emil since he was coated in electricity. He hit the fire type directly with the electric type attack doing massive damage to him.

The Growlithe all too quickly recovered and then Raina said "Surprise time! Wild Charge!"

Emil was directly hit with the super effective attack and fell to the ground. I jaw dropped at the super effective attack. "Come on Emil get up! One more attack can end this for us! Come on!"

Raina rubbed her nose and said "Didn't expect that did you Dan."

Emil got back up with a screech and then I said "Nope, but you weren't expecting Emil to get up. Final move Emil and you can rest, Wild Bird!"

Emil weakly got in the air and combined two very risky moves, Wild Charge and Brave Bird to make the special attack I call Wild Bird. Usually Emil can do this only two times at full strength so wasn't sure if he could do it now but I know that he can.

He was surrounded in the blue flame coat of Brave Bird and the crackling electricity of Wild Charge. He zoomed towards Growlithe while Raina said "Growlithe one more Wild Charge!"

The two Pokemon charged towards each other and a big explosion ensued.

(Parker and Artemis' Battle) kind of skipped one battle here sorry! I've had a bad day and got kind of lazy.

No one's POV

Around the same time the Braviary and Growlithe's attacks collided. Parker had just defeated Artemis' Oshawott with his Meditite after a long and grueling battle but now Meditite was a bit fatigued while Artemis said "Sara!"

Out of her Pokeball appeared her powerful Gible. Parker grinned a bit and said "Good choice, Meditite Confusion!"

"Dodge Sara and then rush in with Quick Attack and Rock Smash!"

The Gible dodged the attack and sped towards the exhausted Psychic/Fighting type and smashed her glowing fist on its face sending it back tumbling in the ground. Parker then yelled "Get up! Come on!"

Meditite slowly got up and went back into fighting position as his trainer said "Meditite Hi-Jump Kick!"

The Meditite flew towards the Gible with his knee glowing red but then Artemis said "Before he comes close! Dragon Pulse!"

When the Meditite came close it realized too late as Sara the Gible fired a green sphere of energy from her mouth, directly hitting the fighting/psychic type in the body ultimately defeating him, Parker looked worried as Artemis cheered.

"Meditite is unable to battle. Gible is the winner!"

The Hoenn Region native returned his Pokemon and said "Shinx Rock'n'Roll!"

Out of his POkemon came a small black furred Pokemon that gave a harsh glare towards Gible who cowered a bit in fear.

"Whats this!? Parker sends out an electric type?"

Artemis fondled with her necklace a bit and said "Really? Oh well, Sara Sandstorm and Dig!"

The Gible spun around quickly causing sandstorm as she dug underground away from the storm and her opponent. Parker looked as determined as an Arcanine and said "Shinx Discharge to get rid of the Sandstorm and use Iron tail on the ground!"

The Shinx released a vast amount on electricity as he jumped into the air, making the sandstorm disappear and he smashed his glowing tail on the ground drawing the Gible out.

"Not bad Parker, Sara Dragon Pulse!"

The little dragon type fired the powerful attack towards the Shinx but then Parker said "Dodge them all and follow up with Slash!"

The Shinx used his superior agility to evade all of the hits and landed the powerful attack at the Gible's side causing her to stagger a bit in pain.

"Hang on Sara; let's use that move, Draco Meteor!"

The Gible made some distance and fired the powerful dragon type attack in the air making it rain explosive orange spheres. The electric type tried to dodge but was ultimately hit and knocked unconscious rendering him unable to battle.

The crowd cheered once more at Artemis' second victory. The MC then shouted "Parker has lost two Pokemon! What will he do now?"

Parker returned his Pokemon and said "I guess I have to use my secret weapon. I'm sorry if this battle ends too quickly Artemis."

She grinned and winked at him causing several harsh glares from Ness and Vanessa.

"Bring it on Parker!"

(Back to Dan and Raina)

After the explosion had cleared after the collision of Wild Charge and Wild Bird the dust had settled and both trainers were wide eyed. Emil and Growlithe were both on the ground unconscious.

"It's a Tie! Braviary had still managed to take down Growlithe after being burned and hit with a supper effective attack!"

Dan returned his Pokemon and said "Nice work buddy."

Raina took back her Pokemon and said "Officer Jenny would be proud. Nice work Dan! Let's do this thing Jigglypuff!"

"Hannah Its Go Time!"

Two Pokemon appeared on the field. One was a pink fluffy ball shaped Pokemon that stood proudly on the field. Out of our purple haired hero's Pokeball came out a small green snake like Pokemon that was suddenly startled by the large crowd who was watching.

Dan encouraged the little grass type by saying "Courage Hannah."

She composed herself and stood tall and ready for battle.

"It's going to be Jigglypuff vs Snivy! Battle Begin!"

"Hannah use Vine Whip!"

The grass type shot out to long green vines from her neck area and picked up the Jigglypuff throwing her around. Raina quickly called "Use Attract!"

The Jigglypuff got up and winked at the Snivy who seemed unfazed by the attack. The purple haired boy grinned and said "Yes! Female attracts a female won't work. Hannah use Iron Tail."

The grass type was excited and ecstatic with her current performance and she charged towards the Jigglypuff with her tail glowing and she smashed it on the round Pokemon knocking her a few feet back.

Hannah gave her first confident smile and then Jordan said "Pi Pichu Pi! (That's how we do it Hannah!)"

Dan fist pumped while Raina said "Get up! Use Rock Throw!"

The Jigglypuff recovered and picked up a large stone on the ground and hurled it towards Hannah who was kind of shocked at her sheer strength and then Dan said "Like in training Hannah, vault over it and fire an Energy Ball!"

Hannah gracefully leapt over the rock and fired the grass type attack at Jigglypuff sending her back to the ground barely able to battle. Raina covered her mouth and said "No Jigglypuff! Get up and use Rollout!"

The Jigglypuff got up and gave her full effort as she rolled towards Hannah who stood ready for her trainer's next command.

"Hannah use Twister!"

Hannah leapt into the air and spun around until she was surrounded by a large spiraling hurricane that sent the Jigglypuff flying into the wall unable to battle.

"Jigglypuff is unable to battle! Snivy wins! Raina is down to her final Pokemon!"

She returned her Jigglypuff and said "Nice work! Last chance but I think you can pull through. Squirtle Lets Do This Thing!"

Raina's final Pokemon was her faithful starter Squirtle. Unlike Liz's this one was female. It grinned at Raina before turning to faced Hannah the Snivy. The two female Pokemon glared at each other as the MC said "The final Pokemon is Squirtle! Will Dan succeed or will Raina accept defeat!"

Dan grinned confidently and said "Hannah use Leaf Blade!"

Her tail turned into a strong tin of green as she ran towards the water type and then the female trainer said "Squirtle Iron Tail!"

The water type countered her strike with her very own tail attack. The two were engaged in pitched combat, Leaf Blade vs Iron Tail. Smashes and swipes were returned at the two were very serious about their battle.

Squirtle got a luck shot and knocked Hannah few feet back and then her trainer said "Come on Squirtle! Ice Beam!"

The water type fired the Ice Beam towards Hannah who was hit by the super effective attack. The grass type's leg was frozen on the ground then Raina said "We got her now! Squirtle one more Ice Beam to finish it off!"

The Squirtle fired the ice type attack towards Snivy but she kept struggling to get herself out. NO. She would not accept defeat in her first battle, she wanted to prove her strength and prove her strength she shall. The shy grass type took the attack and was frozen in a block of ice on the field.

"I guess that's it for Snivy folks. That means tha-"

Everyone looked at the field and the block of ice Snivy was frozen in started cracking and a violent explosion happened. The ice shattered and out of the ice came a large powerful tornado of leaves that had a small snake like Pokemon glowing a faint shade of green in the middle."

"Amazing! Using Leaf Tornado powered by Snivy's ability, Overgrow, she has managed to free herself from the ice."

The purple haired trainer and Jordan cheered as Hannah gave a smile at her trainer and her friend. She faced the Squirtle with a confident expression as the water type's trainer recovered from her shock. "Nice job Dan, your Snivy is strong alright so Overgrow is on meaning she is close to losing. Ice Beam!"

The Squirtle readied to fire the ice attack but then Dan interrupted "Hannah use Glare!"

The Snivy glared at the Squirtle, completely paralyzing her. Jordan, Luke and Hannah knew where this was going and then the grass type's trainer said "One final hit! Leaf Storm!"

The grass type spun around and surrounded herself in a cyclone of leaves and when the attack was fully ready. She fired it at the immobile water type who was directly hit with the super effective attack.

"Oh no Squirtle!"

"YES!"

"That's it! Squirtle is unable to battle and the winner Snivy! Raina has lost all three of her Pokemon meaning the youngest Pallet Prince Dan will advance to the finals. Now let's go to Parker and Artemis' battle!"

The crowd was crazy, wolf whistles; cheers and the occasional fan girl of Dan would yell or squeal causing shy looks from the young trainer. Raina returned her Pokemon and said "Nice work Squirtle."

The purple haired boy approached his Snivy and said "Wow Hannah! Nice work!"

Jordan gave a thumb up while Luke actually smiled a bit. She was happy with her performance and she was very pleased with her trainer's reaction. The young trainer was approached by Rain and said "Good work Dan, good luck but for now let's see who you'll battle."

Jordan's POV

We won that round good! Hannah was pretty awesome too! She was all like Boom! Pow! Wham! I was excited for my turn to battle because I was the only one left who hasn't battled.

Where ran to the box where we were greeted by Liz who said "Great job Grapehead! You were right, Hannah was more than ready. You won now I guess you'll now see who you might battle."

We went to Connor who was watching along with everyone else jaw dropped at the result of Parker and Artemis battle. We looked over and saw Parker grinning with his arms crossed, on the other side of the field, Artemis had a shocked expression on her face as her Joltik was smoking on the ground.

Parker was grinning very smugly as a small white colored Pokemon that looked like a steel type was in front of him looking like it took no damage at all. Connor turned to us and said "Congratulations Dan but I guess this might be your toughest battle yet."

The crowd was speechless as the MC said "Amazing! After Parker had lost two Pokemon straight to one Pokemon, he has recovered and defeated Artemis' Gible and Joltik with his starter, a shiny Aron! This little Pokemon took them down like they were nothing and took absolutely no damage."

The crowd cheered as Artemis returned her Pokemon into her ball and sighed looking very disappointed but she quickly went back to her giddy self as Parker approached her with his Aron by his side. The Pokemon wasn't like usual Aron, instead of the color being grey metal; it looked like the color was white platinum.

Parker shook her hand and said "That was a good battle but I guess Aron's defense and offence was way too much."

The Butterfree necklace wearing girl shook his hand back and said "Good luck against Dan."

"Folks it looks like the final battle for the Pokemon egg will be the Dewford Heartthrob Parker McKnight going against the Pallet Prince Dan Ketchum!"

Man, that little guy must be strong but I bet we could handle him. Dan brought us to get healed for about five minutes and as we were waiting for the others to get healed, I stayed on his shoulder and said "So…Were here."

"Yup."

"We ready?"

"Yup."

"You going to use me?"

"Yup."

"You gonna give me a snack before the match?" I said while grinning.

"No."

"Worth a shot." I said while shrugging, I hopped onto the counter and said "Hey look it's Connor."

Dan turned and he saw the shades wearing dude walking towards us with his Golden Lucario looking as intimidating and cool as ever. Ever since we started training, I was a total Animus try hard, I tried to do everything he did but it was too tough. He kept telling me to practice and I would eventually do it.

"Hey kiddo, Jordan."

"I waved at them and then Dan said "Hey Connor, what's up?"

He sucked in some air through his teeth and said "Dan, when you were late, Sky told me you were chased by an Ariados. Is that true?"

Yep, we were chased and every time I remember that giant bug I get goose bumps. I mean look at it, it was freaking huge and scary, sure I could handle it but it was so dang creepy. Dan nodded and said "Yeah, I was kind of being chased because I eavesdropped over a conversation and the guy heard me."

Connor raised a brow and said "Did you see what the bloke looked like?"

I raised my hands in the air and said "He was ugly! He had like eight legs, scary fangs, a creepy horn and weird patterning."

Animus face palmed while Dan rolled his eyes and groaned "Jordan, the guy. Not the Ariados."

"Oh… I knew that."

Dan stuck his tongue out at me and said "He had magenta hair and he had a camera around his neck. That's the best description I can give."

He nodded and as he was about to speak the MC said "The final battle between Dan Ketchum and Parker McKnight will begin shortly!"

Nurse Joy handed him his Pokeballs as Luke came out and I said "Wish me luck man. I gotta go."

He chuckled and said "You'll do fine kiddo. Have fun, me and Liz'll be rooting for you all the way."

Dan dashed past him with me on his shoulder and Luke by his side as he ran to the battlefield; we were greeted by the crowd cheering loudly with my appearance of course. He looked at us and said "This is it guys, Parker is no pushover so we better be on guard."

We both nodded as Dan face Parker from across the field. I grinned at Luke and said "Ready red?"

"As always pipsqueak, yes."

Liz's POV

I stood beside Connor and Quincy as Dan's battle was about to begin. There was something wrong that I really couldn't put my finger on but I knew it was about Connor and Quincy. Connor seemed to distance himself from her as so did she like something awkward happened. Quincy would glare at him when their eyes would meet but Connor would just give a polite smile and nervously waved. I would have to check on that later

Dan grinned towards Parker and said "Dewford Heartthrob?"

The older boy ruffled his hair while nervously laughing and said "A title I didn't want. But hey, Pallet Prince? Nice one."

Dan already had a title as the youngest Pallet Prince and I didn't know what my title would be if I ever got one. I hope it would really be good and not stupid. Anyway, Dan laughed a bit and said "Yeah but I have to share my title with my two older brothers."

"Hey, it's better than mine."

The MC then shouted "The battle between the two finalists Parker McKnight and Dan Ketchum will now begin! Each trainer will use three Pokmon! The first one to lose all three loses and the winner will receive this Pokemon egg!"

The egg was shown in the screen. The top was blue with up and down line designs and the lower part was just black. It looked nothing special but you never know. Dan picked a Pokeball from his belt and said "I really want to face that Aron of yours Parker! Hannah Its Go Time!"

Out of his Pokeball come out Hannah the Snivy who looked as confident as she could be. (Not really looking that intimidating) Parker rubbed his nose and said "Awesome! I wanted to battle her! Shinx Game Time!"

Out of the Pokeball came out the small cute dog like Pokemon that growled at Hannah who cowered a bit in fear with his Intimidate ability. The MC shouted "Snivy versus Shinx! Battle Begin!"

"Hannah quick! Energy Ball!"

"Dodge it Shinx! Then use Flame Charge!"

Uh oh. Flame Charge would be a problem for Dan. Hannah fired a green ball of energy to start off the battle but the agile little Pokemon nimbly evaded the attack by surrounding itself in flames and charging towards the grass type who also dodged the attack.

The two had a good first attack and then Connor smiled as he said "The two had a great start. There's no telling where this could go."

I watched as Dan said "Hannah use Glare!"

"Close your eyes Shinx and use Shock Wave!"

The Shinx evaded the attack by simply closing his eyes and he followed it up with the electric type attack that never misses making Hannah fly back with the impact of the attack. She recovered quickly as Dan said "Nice one man, my turn. Hannah surprise time use Leaf Storm!"

Parker scoffed a bit and said "What's that about a surprise? Shinx Flame Charge!"

The electric type ran through the grass type attack as he was coated in flames but then Dan gave a grin that just automatically made me know he had something planned.

"Twister Hannah!"

The grass type evaded the attack by leaping over the electric type gracefully and as she landed, she faced the electric type as she spun around like she was making her Leaf Tornado attack but instead she used the dragon type attack Twister. Shinx flew back with the power of the attack.

Parker looked pretty surprised as the crowd cheered. Vanessa and Ness urged for Parker to go on and then Parker watched as his Pokemon got up. He grinned and said "Nice surprise. Shinx Discharge!"

The electric type released a great amount of voltage on the field but Hannah, being the quick and graceful grass type she was, evaded all the voltage and managed to deliver a quick Slam attack with her tail.

Dan laughed out loud and said "Use Vine Whip for Seismic Toss!"

Connor scoffed and said "It's done."

"What?"

"Its over."

I looked at him along with some of the others except Vanessa and Ness who were glaring at him for counting Parker out so easily. He held up his hands defensively and said "Easy ladies. I'm just saying that Shinx is already defeated."

Quincy crossed her arms and said "I hate to admit it Shades but you are right. He's done."

Conner chuckled and said "Thank you."

"Don't push it idiot."

"Somebody is still ticked off."

"Shut up! It was your fault!"

"Okay! Sorry but I still say it's not my fault alone, it's yours too."

"What!"

"I said we have to share the blame."

"Why you little!"

She chased Connor who ran as fast as he could out of the room because of his mistake of angering Quincy. Everybody sweat dropped at the two teens and we turned our attention back to the match.

Hannah had caught Shinx in her vines after several failed attempts with the electric type dodging. She lifted him up into the air as she leapt up and threw him down hard to the ground rendering him unable to battle.

"The Pallet Prince has taken the lead by his Snivy taking down the Dewford Heartthrob's Shinx!"

Parker returned his Pokemon while Dan recalled Hannah for later. The grey haired boy said "Wow that was one heck of a battle. Time for some speed and slashes, Vigoroth Its Game Time!"

Out of his Pokeball appeared a medium sized Pokemon that had white fur and sharp claws at the end of his arms. The Pokemon leapt energetically from one side of the field to another showing enthusiasm for battle.

Dan grinned and said "Speed is what you want? Jordan Its Go Time!"

His trusty electric type starter leapt to the field with his usual cocky smile and confident attitude. He pointed at the Vigoroth and gave him a thumbs down that meant 'You're going down'

Dan rolled his eyes and chuckled at his Pokemon's behavior and said "Okay buddy ready?"

The electric type nodded as the Mc said "Pichu versus Vigoroth! Battle Begin!"

"Jordan buddy use Agility and then use Charge Beam!"

"Vigoroth use Hone Claws and use Slash!"

The little electric type quickly ran towards the normal type while he charged a large amount of energy in his arms and he fired it towards the normal type but everyone was surprised as the Vigoroth ever so quickly leapt over the attack and landed a powerful looking hit that must have done some serious damage to Jordan.

I gasped as Jordan struggled to get up. Dan was wide eyed as he said "Wow! That was fast, we need to play it safe Jordan. So use Charm!"

Jordan rolled his eyes as his trainer as I giggled. The little guy hated using that move because according to Luke the move deprives him of his 'Natural Masculine Awesomeness'

Jordan complied and winked at Vigoroth whose expression softened meaning the effects worked. Dan grinned and said "Now come on and use Iron Tail!"

Jordan sped towards Vigoroth who was ready for his attack. Parker grinned and said "Slash Vigoroth!"

The Normal type slashed his claw at the Pichu's Iron Tail but the effects of Charm worked wonders and the Iron Tail overpowered the Slash attack. The Vigoroth got knocked back a few feet as Jordan stood again with his cocky grin and his hands on his waist.

I watched as Dan called for the next attack but then I heard someone behind me say "Jordan and Dan are doing pretty well."

My head turned and I saw Connor breathing somewhat heavily behind me. he was somewhat still grinning like a maniac but he had a bit of a worried expression. I raised a brow and said "What did you do now?"

He chuckled a bit and said "Funny story about that, I kind of said that-"

"Shades you are DEAD you stupid idiot!"

"Hehe, got to go! Go Dan! Yeah!"

With that he sped off running away from the angered Quincy. Everyone was watching the battle intently but then Seaeraal went next to me and said "Connor said that Quincy should act more like a lady so she snapped and said something about breaking his legs."

I chuckled at the thought and then I looked back to the battle. Dan and Parker were still battling with Jordan and Vigoroth and none were giving an inch. Vigoroth had tried another Slash attack but Jordan dodged it by ducking and he leapt and delivered a powerful Fire Punch on Vigoroth's face.

The normal type staggered back and looked completely irritated and the Parker commanded another Slash attack. The normal type landed two critical hits on Jordan making him fly back and almost make him unable to battle but again, Jordan was too stubborn for defeat like at Misty's Gym battle so he got up again.

Jordan glared at Vigoroth and said to Dan "Pi! Pichu Pichu Cha Chu Pi Chu Pi Pi Pichu! (I might lose this, remember what we discussed last time right? Let's go!)"

Dan nodded and said "Jordan I know you're low but use Belly Drum!"

Jordan grinned and repeatedly smacked his belly as he started to glow a shade of faint red. I wondered what they were up to and then Connor appeared behind me and said "She finally calmed down, Arceus. I see you are wondering what those two are up to. Dan just told Jordan to use Belly Drum to cut the remaining stamina he has in half so that his attack stat would go to max. It's pretty risky but I think I know what they're up to."

I watched as Jordan still grinned at Vigoroth even if he was visually fatigued. Dan grinned like his partner and said "Go! Agility and evade all of his attacks until you find the opening."

Jordan ran towards Vigoroth as Parker said "What are you up to? Vigoroth use Slash back to back!"

The Pichu ducked, leaned, leapt and spun around to evade all of the normal type's swipes but when a opening appeared Dan grinned and said "Now buddy! Reversal!"

Three blue spheres surrounded Jordan and it went to his right fist as he smashed it on the Vigoroth's face knocking him out. The MC grinned and said "Vigoroth is unable to battle and Pichu wins! Who is Parker's final Pokemon?"

Dan grinned at Jordan who was breathing heavily. Dan winked at Jordan who gave him a thumbs up, Parker returned Vigoroth with a thanks and said "That was pretty good. Belly Drum makes you at tip top strength and Reversal is stronger if your opponent is having more stamina than you. Good plan man, I give you that but now say hello to your defeat. Aron Its Game Time!"

Out of his Pokeball appeared his shiny starter. The Pokemon roared its name as the MC said "Here it is folks! Parkers final Pokemon. This little guy has got him out of tough situations before let's see if he can do it now."

"Jordan use Reversal!"

"Iron Defense!"

Jordan did the same attack and hit the Rock/Steel type with the peak of his remaining strength. The electric type grinned cockily as he hit the Pokemon but the Aron just shrugged it off and looked mildly annoyed as no damage seemed to happen to him.

"What the heck! No Jordan! Get out of there!"

"Mud Slap!"

The Steel/Rock type opened his eyes wide and slapped some dirt into Jordan's eyes blinding him. Connor gasped a bit and said "Oh no, this is bad."

"Flash Cannon!"

The Steel type fired the powerful attack at Jordan who was severely weakened and blinded causing him to get knocked back in front of Dan with swirls in his eyes. Dan picked him up and said "Oh no! Jordan!"

"In two hits Aron has taken down Pichu! What will Dan do next?"

Everyone in the box was amazed on how strong that Aron was. Parker crossed his arms and said "Well, what now Dan?"

"This! Hannah Its Go Time!"

Out of the Pokeball appeared Dan's Snivy Hannah. She was ready for battle but she had in a battle a while ago so she was not a fresh Pokemon. She eyed her opponent as Dan said "Watch out Hannah! He took down Jordan in two hits!"

She cringed a bit but changed back into being tough as Jordan and Luke cheered her on. The MC said "The Pallet Prince goes with his Snivy! Snivy versus Aron! Battle Begin!"

"Hannah use Leaf Blade quick so he can't catch up!"

"Aron same plan! Iron Defense but this time also add an Automize!"

The Aron stood there as it glowed a shade of faint silver and he seemed to shine brighter. Hannah delivered several swift Leaf Blades from all directions to catch him off guard but it looked like it did nothing.

Parker smiled and said "Aron is high in Defense and Speed now so watch out! Iron Head!"

As the next Leaf Blade approached, Hannah was suddenly hit with the powerful steel type attack head on causing her to get knocked back down but she still got up. Dan grit his teeth and said "Glare and Leaf Storm!"

Parker chuckled and said "Don't look and just take the hit."

The Aron shut its eyes and got hit by the powerful grass type attack. An explosion ensued and Dan, Connor and I got a hopeful look in our eyes but when the smoke cleared, Aron was standing there without a scratch.

The crowd cheered and so did several people in the box. Dan was surprised with the Aron's resistance and Parker chuckled as he said "Iron Head!"

The little Steel type quickly rushed towards Hannah and landed a direct hit knocking her unconscious. Everyone was cheering and excited about this intense battle between the two boys. Connor shook his head and said "This is going bad. I don't know what can happen now. That Aron has amazing speed, impenetrable defense and astounding attack power."

I shook my head too not knowing what would happen next. Dan returned Hannah with thanks and said "That little guys is really tough. So now it's just brute strength. Matt Its Go Time!"

Dan's final Pokemon was his friendly water type Matt the Mudkip. Parker had his arms crossed as Aron once again roared his name. The MC then said "This Aron has done great once again and now Dan's final Pokemon is his Mudkip! Battle Begin!"

"Matt use Tackle!"

"Aron use Tackle too!"

The two Pokemon collided and started to push each other with full strength. The tension was high on who was stronger. After a couple of seconds, everyone gasped as Matt pushed Aron into the air knocking him over.

Connor clapped his hands and said "Amazing, Matt is Dan's Pokemon with the most physical strength so it was a good choice for him to use Matt."

We watched as the Aron got up and his trainer smiled as he said "That Mudkip is strong. Next up use Automize and Iron Head!"

The Aron glowed a faint color of silver as he charged towards Matt with Iron Head but Dan had other plans.

"Aqua Jet Matt and then use Ice Beam to freeze it like the video I showed you of my dad's Floatzel!"

Matt flew into the air as he was surrounded by water and he froze it making it into the Ash Ketchum famous Ice Aqua Jet. The two attacks collided and both Pokemon were sent flying into different directions.

The two got up as their trainers told them to. The two Pokemon kept matching attacks. Tacke with Tackle, Ice Aqua Jet with Iron Head and Water Gun with Flash Cannon. The two Pokemon worked relentlessly to tire and wear each other out. Aron had already shown signs of damage with scratches and dirt stains and Matt was breathing heavily.

"Tackle again Matt!"

"Aron show them you're Tackle!"

The two Pokemon collided again making a loud noise. The two shoved each other back causing them to get knocked away from each other. As both were close to exhaustion their trainers yelled "Tackle one more time!"

The two collided one more and the struggled to overpower the other. Pushing against each other with full strength the MC said "Who will win this final battle? Mudkip or Aron? Who will-! Wait! What is this!"

As the two were pushing each other, they started to glow a powerful shine of white. The MC held his mike and said "Hold on folks! It looks like these two are evolving!"

When the light cleared everyone gasped as in the place of the two small Pokemon were now two fairly sized Pokemon. One was walking on four legs as he pushed against his opponent, he looked like he was armored with different plating and he was pure white in color. The other one was walking on two legs, he was blue and his stomach area was orange. The Pokemon's expression was serious as he was pushing his opponent with great strength.

"People Aron and Mudkip have evolved into Lairon and Marshtomp in the heat of battle!"

"Lairon and Marshtomp?" I said, I pulled out my Pokedex and is spoke "Marshtomp, the Mud Fish Pokémon. Marshtomp is the evolved form of Mudkip. It is able to move and swim more quickly through mud than through water. Lairon, the Iron Armor Pokémon. Lairon is the evolved form ofAron. By drinking nutrient rich spring water, it strengthens its steel body."

"Wow" I said, Everyone was also surprised with the new evolution of the two Pokemon. The crowd went crazy again and then the battle continued. Marshtomp was still struggling to overpower Aron who also got a large power boost when he evolved. Dan and Parker were looking a bit tense but everyone else was amazed when Marshtomp actually lifted Lairon and threw him.

Connor and Animus smiled a bit as the teen said "Ever since the beginning of my training with Dan, that Mudkip had the most physical strength; and now when he evolved his physical strength is now double our tripled."

Matt grinned at Lairon who was on his back while Parker encouraged him to get up. Dan and his Pokemon grinned and said "Wow Matt! You're amazing! I guess I'll just wing your new moves, Dynamic Punch!"

The water type ran towards Lairon with his fist glowing red with energy but Parker managed to coax Lairon into getting back up and he said "Automize and Iron Head!"

The Lairon then charged towards Matt with insane speed that could rival a speeding train as he smashed into Matt's stomach sending him a few feet back but now without landing the fighting type move but it looked like he barley fazed him.

Parker laughed and said "Lairon you are a lot tougher now! Iron Defense and then Flash Cannon!"

"Get up Matt and use Ice Beam!"

The two attacks collided and a big explosion followed. The two Pokemon were still battle ready as their trainers commanded "Take Down!"

The two powerhouse Pokemon charged at each other and collided with even more force than Tackle. As Lairon struggled against Matt's superior strength, Dan commanded "Matt use Dynamic Punch on his head!"

The water/ground type landed the attack on the steel/rock type's head but once again it looked like no damage was taken. I was shocked with this Lairon's strength, not only did it get stronger while evolving but it also got a boost in defense and attack as well.

Parker smirked a bit while Dan called for another Dynamic Punch. "Metal Burst Lairon!"

The Lairon opened his mouth and a white beam hit Marshtomp sending him back to Dan but the water type got up once more because he refused to lose this one. Dan glared at the Lairon who roared once more. He puckered his lips and said "Okay Matt, that defense it too much but I think I know where the weak point is. I saw this in a movie once and I think it might work so follow what I say alright."

The Marshtomp nodded as Parker commanded another Iron head. The steel/rock type ran towards him like a train again but Dan was silent surprisingly while Matt was just in his battle read position. As soon as Lairon was in range, Dan opened his mouth and said "Ice Beam on the ground and uppercut him with Dynamic Punch!"

The Marshtomp followed orders and froze the ground and as the Lairon came running forward, he lost control and skidded towards Matt with no sense of direction whatsoever. As soon as he was in arms reach, Matt did an uppercut with the powerful fighting type move to the jaw sending him into the air and making him land on his back as he struggled to get up.

"Lairon NO!"

"There Matt! Dynamic Punch on his belly!"

The Marshtomp leapt into the air and smashed his fist on the Lairon's exposed stomach and as soon as the attack was over, Lairon stopped moving and had swirls in his eyes.

"That was one hell of a battle folks! Dan has managed to defeat Parker's Lairon with his Marshtomp meaning the winner of this match and the champion of the low tier tournament is the Pallet Prince Dan Ketchum!"

The crowd went berserk along with everyone else in the box area as Dan waved to the crowd along with his Pokemon. Matt stood next to Dan as his trainer patted him on the head and said "You were awesome buddy."

"The Marshtomp sneezed a bit and rubbed his nose as he grinned at the crowd. Parker returned his Pokemon, walked up to Dan and said "Excellent work Dan, I didn't see you aiming for Lairon's stomach until the end. Congrats."

The two shook hands as the MC along with Misty and Tucker approached Dan with a case containing a Pokemon egg in Misty's hands and a small trophy in Tuckers'. The three approached Dan as Parker went back to the box with us and the MC said "Congratulations Dan. The prize is yours, a Pokemon egg and the low tier tournament trophy."

Tucker handed him the trophy with a wink and a handshake while Mist gave him the egg and said "I'll be waiting for a rematch Dan."

Dan held up the egg and trophy as all of his Pokemon was by his side while the photographer took their picture. I sighed and was very happy with Dan's victory knowing that the low tier tournament is over but up next was the high tier with some very nasty people and I have no idea how will this end up.
