Ash POV... play Pokemon Center song… Slow version:
I was lying in bed staring up at the ceiling with my eyes opened. I looked at every single crevice that was in the roof of the room of the same pokemon center where everything that happened yesterday… Well, happened.
I look over to my side and stare at the clock in the side dresser. 3:46 am. I sigh, I am so excited for the battle I am going to have with Wulfric later on today that I can't sleep. My eyes then focus on something else. Right next to my bed is another bed with a certain honey blonde that helped me overcome my burden yesterday.
I look back up at the ceiling and hug my scarf as I remembered this girl's words from yesterday:
"My father gave up on my mother and me when I was little, I wanted to be able to love someone that I would know would never give up on me… I found that person and he stole my heart… Ash, your father may not love you like mine doesn't love my mother and me... but someone else loves you more than anyone could in many different unexplainable ways…"
As I remembered these lines I flinched as the sting from the cheek from where Serena gave me the painful slap returned. What was Serena's idea in bringing in my burden and telling me she has a similar problem? What did she mean by someone that loves me in many unexplainable ways?
Who is this person that loves me?
Does someone love her that way back?
"AND I AM THAT… THAT!... GIVE ME BACK THE ASH THAT STOLE MY HEA-… ARGH!"
I stole what? Wait? what did Serena almost say she was?
I am so confused. I grip my scarf and turn around to look at Serena who is sleeping soundly. I look and see how she is in her pink pajamas and how her hair dangles around her face. A scene that I would call… Cute? Well, I am grateful to have a person like her always on my side. You know, now I am excited to see her sapphire oceanic blue eyes again when she wakes up… Wouldn't it be another excuse for me to not sleep?
I roll back on my back and stare at the ceiling again as I remembered the way I fused with Greninja. Once he evolved, we were finally able to feel apart… Like if I can become one with Greninja when I want and not all the time. I mean, when Greninja was Frogadier, it was like if we were the same organism sharing the same pain regardless of everything. Still, now with Greninja, I feel like we can be separated and individual, yet stronger than ever together.
But how ready is he for the league? We will have to see…
I am going to be using Sceptile for a rematch on Beartic, Noivern will play a role but I don't know how. I am seeing good improvement in Noivern's sky attack so I feel like he is prepared for the league…
Now how prepared is Greninja?
Only time will tell tomorrow.
I shut my eyes and roll on my side slightly peeking through my eyes to make sure that Serena was there… Smiling, of course she is smiling. Why am I peeking at her?
Sigh, just let it go.
A/N: Ok guys, here it is… The rematch… I actually have good amount of things planned for you guys now and I am starting to feel confident about how the story will progress.
Also, I may like to inform you guys the reason I made up Aqua Blade. First off, I wanted Greninja to have a move that is not… how do I say it, weak. Cut is basically… idk why the anime decided to not give Greninja night slash, but instead a blue glowing cut. Still, I did not feel like calling it cut when I could call it something better right?
So here is the ultimate move every pokemon in Ash's team that we know so far:
Sceptile - Frenzy Plant
Goodra - Unknown
Noivern - Sky Attack
Charizard - Seismic Toss
Greninja - Unknown
Pikachu - Electric Overdrive
You may be guessing why some are "unknown". Well the thing is that those moves will not be revealed until later and Goodra's will be the next one.
I know I made up Electric Overdrive, but come on, not every Pikachu has ever been seen using something like that!
Other than that, today will be the day that Ash rematches Wulfric since the rotten mess he made out of the last battle… I mean, come on! Hawlucha in the anime could easily take out that Abomasnow -.-'... JK Greninja ILY (please don't fire me as writer of this story).
Anyways, let's make this battle one to remember and open up the road for new opportunities in Ash's journey.

Chapter 22- The Rise of Ash-Greninja
Ash POV in the bed:
Argh, I fell asleep for two minutes and then woke up again and have not been able to fall asleep again…
Too excited.
I look over and it is 8:26 am… Time to get up in four minutes. Well, now I really feel comfortable in my bed and my eyes start to close.
Suddenly my vision goes black and I drift off into dreamland effortlessly.
Now to make up for the lack of sleep I had last night and-
"MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP!" the alarm clock goes off waking me up. "Urgh," I strain as I shut off the clock. I then get up and notice that everyone was gone… wait what? I notice that their backpacks are still here so they did not leave. I guess that Brock went to talk with Wulfric about something and so did Clemont since they were up this early, but Serena and Bonnie seemed to be here since their pajamas were not in their bed like I would have expected. I open the door of the room and walk towards the lobby to where I see a table with Serena and Bonnie. Hmm, they seem alone with Pikachu. Like a zombie because of my drowsiness, I make it to the table and sit down.
Serena looks at me worriedly and asks, "Ash, are you ok?"
Bonnie then chimes in, "Ash, you look tired."
"Ohh, yea," I reply lazily as I raise my head up. "I am sleepy because I was so excited to bat- AHHHHHH!" I shout being woken up instantly by electricity rushing through my body. It did not take me long to find the culprit. "Pikachu! What was that for?" I shout at the electric mouse.
"Pi pikachu," Pikachu shrugged his shoulders as he went up to the table and started drowning himself in Ketchup (not literally). I was woken up now so I looked at the omelette in front of me and dug in.
"Dang, whoever made this food is the best cook in the world!" I exclaim as the food pleasures my taste buds. Through the corner of my eye I see Serena get a pink tint in her cheeks and Bonnie winks at her.
I wonder what that was all about.
Later entering the Snowbelle gym (Normal POV):
The door opened and the group of five and the electric rodent were met with the warm air of the hallway leading to the gym. It was a decently long hallway and everyone was getting excited. "Pikapi, Pikachu?" Pikachu asked his raven haired trainer as he walked towards the door.
The trainer looked down at Pikachu and petted him in the head, "Sorry bud, but I am battling with the same team as last time, I want a rematch against them. Also, I have a feeling you could defeat anything with that new move of yours."
"New move?" Clemont asked with curiosity. "What new move could have Pikachu learned?" Serena and Bonnie also got in close to listen to what Ash had to say.
Ash was about to speak when Brock interrupted, "It is an amazing move, I saw it during an incident that happened before we got here, but the thing is that the move is probably the strongest electric type move I have ever seen."
The group kept walking as Ash continued filling in what Brock could not explain, "The move is called Electric Overdrive… and even I don't know what or how it happens, but yes, it is very powerful."
The group then reached the end of the tunnel and were greeted by a group of five small pokemon. Ash curiously took out his pokedex and figured out they were Bergmite. "So KAWAI!" Bonnie exclaimed as she looked at them.
"Bergmite, right when Clemont and I talked with Wulfric this morning, he said that Bergmite evolve into Avalugg…" Brock explained. "Avalugg is also known to be very powerful with their gyro ball."
Ash nodded at this remembering the last battle knowing that Avalugg really was a problem for him. Ash then looked up at the monitor above the metal doors that had the gym symbol on it and waited for the voice to return.
Suddenly, the monitor spoke above the group, "Welcome to the Snowbelle gym, how may we help you?"
Ash then looked up and said, "I would like a rematch please."
The monitor then replied, "Good, we have been waiting for you. For now wait a minute as we get preparations for the battle finished, also remember to wear a jacket as the gym is cold." Ash nodded at this and from the group of four behind him, the honey blond female that was gripping her ribbon with her life stepped forward.
"Ash…"
When Ash heard Serena's voice he could feel the worry from what happened before. Ash then turned around with a smile, "It's ok Serena, I will win this time."
Serena saw the spirit burning in Ash's voice and gave a small smile while nodding her head. It was true Ash was back to his old self and she could appreciate her feelings for helping her snap him out of those troublesome thoughts.
Suddenly, steam appeared from under the door as the doors parted apart slowly. The Bergmite rushed into the cold air that chilled the spines of the group and made Ash's scarf wave around a little bit. Ash looked at the field. Still a lot of ice on it so it was a completely frozen field. Looking around the stands actually had people and the ice on the roof seemed as pointy as ever.
Ash wondered what could happen if a pokemon hit those pointy icicles.
"Good luck Ash," Brock and Clemont wished their raven haired friend before going to the stands.
Bonnie fist bumped Ash and wished him good luck and then one last person was left… Serena. Ash then spoke up, "Here Serena." Ash then removed his jacket and gave it to her with a smile.
"But Ash, won't you be cold?" Serena asked worryingly.
"Nah, I have the scarf you gave me, and my newly renewed burning spirit… which you also gave me," Ash rubbed the back of his head in that last assertion as Serena grabbed the jacket. "Also, take good care of Pikachu for me."
"Pika pika!" Pikachu shouted as he hopped on Serena's shoulder making the honey blond smile.
"Ok Ash, and one last thing," Serena blushed as she said it and leaned in...
Scroll down :)
Ash gave a confused look and Serena looked like she gave second thoughts on something. So she aimed for his ear and whispered something, "Go get him Ash."
Ash looked at Serena and pumped his fist, "Right!"
"See you after the battle then," Serena replied and left to the stands while apparently cursing herself out on something. Ash ignored it as he watched Serena sit next to Bonnie.
At the stands:
"You wanted to kiss him didn't you?" Bonnie asked the honey blond girl with an amused grin.
At this comment Serena blushed and flinched.
Brock noticed this too and held his chin while muttering to himself, "Interesting."
With Ash:
Ash turned his attention to the field and walked up to the frozen trainer box as he looked at the throne in front of him noticing the same bearded man with a jacket that did not protect him. Ash saw him step down from the ice throne and walked over to the field.
Then man then locked in a staredown with Ash. He then spoke up, "I see you have come to rematch me, Ash."
"..."
Wulfric then grinned and looked at Ash with intimidating eyes, "How about that last battle where you fell apart?" Ash took it personally and narrowed his eyes at Wulfric in a venomous way. Wulfric looked at Ash's serious expression and smirked, "forget I said that last part, how about you show me if you even deserve a badge."
Both trainers then turned to the ref, who was in a jacket and had ear muffs, "This will be a three on three battle. The battle will be over when one side has lost all three pokemon. Additionally, only the challenger can substitute pokemon… Now do both trainers agree?"
Ash and Wulfric both nodded at the last statement with eagerness to begin the battle.
The ref noticed this and announced, "Now choose your first pokemon!"
"Let's go Beartic!" Wulfric exclaimed as he threw out a pokeball that materialized into a large polar bear like pokemon that stood tall and intimidating.
"BEARTIC!" The Beartic roared with strength that made a slight shock wave through the stadium. The shock wave reached Ash and his scarf violently waved, but Ash did not flinch at all… instead he smirked.
"Sceptile I choose you!" Ash exclaimed his trademark statement while throwing a pokeball that had the same Sceptile who had a twig as a toothpick materialize from a flashing bright light.
"SCEPTILE!" the tree frog growled at the same volume as Beartic causing Wulfric's jacket to wave around in the blast. Without flinching, Wulfric also smirked.
"So you chose that Sceptile," Wulfric said calmly while crossing his arms.
Ash smirked, "I feel like Sceptile wants a rematch, isn't that right bud?"
"Tile!" Sceptile pumped his fist at Ash with a smile.
At the stands:
"Best of luck Ash," Serena muttered to herself as she clenched her fists with nervousness.
"This is gonna be a great battle!" someone from behind shouted.
"Good luck Wulfric, this guy doesn't look like he fools around!" another person exclaimed as a shower of good lucks to Wulfric from his supporters came from the stands.
"Go Wulfric!"
"Show him how to battle!"
"Destroy his fire Wulfric!"
People cheered on Wulfric, but our heroes kept things loud for Ash.
"PIKA PIKAPI PIKACHU!" Pikachu exclaimed from Serena's lap.
"GO ASH GO GO GO!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"COME ON ASH!" Brock shouted through cupped hands.
"This will be interesting, no doubt," Clemont stated with serious eyes as he watched the pokemon engage in a staredown.
At the battlefield:
The ref seemed rather intimidated by the pokemon that were staring at him with venomous eyes to start the battle, so he did just that as he put his arm down.
"BATTLE… BEGIN!"
Battle music begin! Ash (Sceptile) vs Wulfric (Beartic):
"Ash, you can have the first move," Wulfric said while crossing his arms.
Ash then snickered and also crossed his arms, "I have all day, I already know what you will do…" Ash then looked with fiery auburn eyes at Wulfric. "Come at me."
Wulfric and Beartic flinched at little as they watched Sceptile make a "come for me" sign with his hands. "Fine then, we will take the first move! Ice punch!"
"Beartic… TIC!" Beartic exclaimed as he made a freezing punch with his hands and started to run towards Sceptile.
Ash knew exactly what to do as he pumped his fist, "Sceptile trip him up with frenzy plant!" Sceptile slammed his fists together and slammed them to the ground. From the ground streaked some green plants that headed for Beartic who was charging at Sceptile. The plants then reached Beartic and stopped Beartic in its tracks while hanging him up in the air. Suspended from movement. "Now use leaf blade!" Sceptile made the lateral part of his limbs form a green blade and he rushed into the frenzy plant that had Beartic immobilized and sliced in an X like fashion the Beartic who crashed into the ground in front of Wulfric who looked amused.
"Beartic," Beartic groaned as he got to his feet and roared. "BEARTIC!" causing the gym to shake drawing Ash's attention to the ceiling. 'Sound… that's it!' Ash thought.
"Are you ok Beartic?"
"Tic!" Beartic pumped his fist at Wulfric.
"Good," Wulfric exclaimed as he put his fist out. "Use Avalanche!" Beartic obeyed and sent the clouds to form above Sceptile.
Ash saw the threat and knew there was only one way to do this, combat ice with ice. "Sceptile dodge back and use leaf storm at Beartic!"
Scep… TILE!" Sceptile shouted as he dodged back by backflipping towards his trainer and then turned around and fired a leaf storm at Beartic, only in time for the ice chunks from the avalanche to fall and get consumed by the leaf storm and mix in with the leafs in a strong attack. The wind filled with leafs and chunks of ice streaked its way toward Beartic and Wulfric knew he needed to do a risky move.
"Take it!" Wulfric commanded as Beartic crossed his arms in front of his face. When the hit collided then there was a massive explosion that send smoke in all directions. Ash smiled and celebrated a little, but recoiled when Beartic was seen standing and panting in front of Wulfric. "Ash, you may have just lost this," Wulfric smirked. "COUNTER!" Beartic made his fist glow white and charged Sceptile at amazing speed and slammed it into Sceptile's chest which made Sceptile slam into the wall behind Ash.
"Tile…" Sceptile groaned on his knees as he felt the indent in the wall support him.
"Sceptile, get up, I know we can do this!" Ash shouted trying to motivate his friend.
"Scep… SCEPTILE!" Sceptile shouted.
"Yea, that's the spirit!" Ash exclaimed with happiness and a smirk as his tree frog got in front of him with a grin ready to take out anything in his way.
Wulfric flinched a little as he watched Sceptile get up from counter which should have doubled the damage Beartic took.
"Sceptile, go in with leaf blade!" Ash exclaimed. Sceptile started to make his blades glow green and went for Beartic.
"Use ice punch!"
Beartic and Sceptile rushed each other and quickly closed the gap as the two engaged in a battle that took a lot of effort. Ash and Wulfric gritted their teeth as they saw their pokemon take damage from the hits. Sceptile got a good amount of hits, but the super effectiveness of ice punch really hurt Sceptile. Both pokemon backflipped back at their trainers, but Ash and Wulfric were not finished.
"Jukain, doragon croaw!" Ash shouted as he crushed his open hand in front of him. Sceptile made a scaly green pair of claws and charged the polar bear.
Wulfric looked amused as he gave his next command, "Ice punch on the ground!"
"Bear… TIC!"
"Scep… TILE!"
Both pokemon made their attacks. Sceptile though, he broke through the ice pillar that was formed and slammed his claws into Beartic who fell back in front of Wulfric. Sceptile returned to Ash's side and both pokemon looked at eachother with a smirk.
"Ice beam!" Wulfric commanded as he put his hand out with a fist. This caught Ash by surprise as the ice beam made a collision with the grass type. Sceptile fell to his knees in pain as the ice beam went through his veins.
"Don't GIVE UP!" Ash exclaimed.
Sceptile grew inspired by Ash's words and clenched his fist in determination. Fighting the streaking beam of frozen energy, Sceptile stood up and began to glow green. "Scep… TILLEEEEEEEEE!" Sceptile cried and made a huge burst of green energy swat away the ice beam.
Everyone flinched at this, Ash though he smirked. "You activated overgrow… and let's say this Sceptile has a special overgrow."
Stands:
"GO SCEPTILE GO GO!" Bonnie shouted.
"PIKA PIKACHU!"
Everyone else stood there with their mouths opened in shock and their was some confused murmurs around the stands.
Overgrow was that powerful.
Battlefield:
Ash looked down at Sceptile and knew he could do amazing things now, "Sceptile has gotten a lot stronger now and it is out turn!"
"Like to see you try," Wulfric exclaimed as he put his arms out. "Use ice punch!"
Beartic started to make his blue fist, but this was what Ash wanted, "Let's go Sceptile! LEAF STORM!" Sceptile shot a large leaf storm that no one could even believe. It collided and made Beartic fly to the sky in a bunch of pain and slam back first into an icicle in the roof causing an explosion. "Now use frenzy plant!" Ash exclaimed as he put his arm out and pumped his fist with the other. Sceptile slammed his fist into the ground and the large plants that came out cracked the stadium and grabbed Beartic while slamming the polar bear to the ground in a large explosion.
When the smoke and plants retreated, Beartic was found in the ice completely unconscious. The ref took no time making the call, "Beartic is unable to battle, Sceptile wins!"
Wulfric praised his pokemon as he recalled it into red energy and back to his pokeball. "Alright!" Ash exclaimed as he celebrated.
"Tile!" Sceptile danced around happily still glowing green.
Stands:
"Genius move from Ash!" Clemont remarked.
"This is already different from last time," Brock replied.
Serena smiled at these statements and said, "Yea, the Ash I lo- know is back." Serena almost slipped as Bonnie elbowed her clearly noticing the real statement. Brock just laughed at himself for what Serena just said.
'I can't believe someone actually fell for the boy' Brock thought to himself.
Battlefield:
"So Ash, you got me there, but how will you deal with this one?" Wulfric taunted as he bobbed a pokeball in his hand. "Avalugg let's go!" Wulfric threw the pokeball which opened into a bright light that shaped a large turtle shaped pokemon that slammed into the ground with a large bang as soon as gravity affected the heavy pokemon.
"Avalugg!" the giant pokemon cried. Ash did not flinch as he saw that Sceptile wanted to keep going.
"Sceptile, I know you don't have much steam left, but if you want to keep going, then let's go for it!" Ash exclaimed while pumping his fist.
Wulfric stood there dumbfounded, "Wow Ash, you truly are a different person than last time, let's see how you do! Avalugg use stone edge!"
"Avalugg!" the Avalugg shouted and slammed his front legs to the ground unleashing a bunch of blue rocks to shoot out of the ground in the direction of Sceptile. With this Ash stood there and quickly made his mind on what he wanted to try since the rocks were not pointed at the top.
"Sceptile, jump on top of the stone edge!" Ash exclaimed.
"Tile!" Sceptile nodded at his trainer and ran towards the incoming rocks. As soon as he was in range, Sceptile bent his knees and landed on top of the stone edge and started jumping from stone to stone with ease. Because of the nature of being a tree frog, this was natural for Sceptile. Quickly gaining on the Avalugg, Ash knew he had to make another move.
"Now use leaf blade!" Ash shouted while moving his arms in blade like motion. Sceptile made his blades larger than any blade anyone had ever seen before because of overgrow and with this, slammed the blades into Avalugg who recoiled back in pain. "Use leaf blade one more time!"
Wulfric smirked as he saw this as a perfect way to stop Sceptile. As soon as the blades were at close proximation to Avalugg, Wulfric made his move. "Avalugg stop it with ice fang!" Avalugg quickly made his freezing mandibles and stopped the blades from going any further. Ash flinched as he saw this and knew he needed to think of something. "GYRO BALL!"
"Avalugg!" Avalugg exclaimed as he started to spin like a top and let go of Sceptile who started to jet towards Ash…
Ash knew he had to do something risky, "Sceptile punch the ground with frenzy plant and aim towards me!" Because of close proximation to the ground, Sceptile touched his fist to the ground as he slid on the ice and aimed the frenzy plant at Ash. The monstrous stems flew out of the ice in the direction Sceptile was heading and Sceptile was cushioned by his own plant. "Now run up the plant!" Ash commanded while pumping his fist. Sceptile ran up the plant that curved towards Avalugg and Ash made his next command. "Cut it with leaf blade!" Sceptile unleashed large blades and cut through his own plant about to do the biggest risk he could. "LEAF STORM!" Ash shouted as he saw the opening.
"Scep…. TILE!" Sceptile exclaimed as he started to shoot out of his tail the barrage of leafs which lifted Avalugg into the sky.
Wulfric looked amused at Ash's unpredictability, but he wanted to finish things. "Avalanche now that he is not moving!"
"Avalugg!" Avalugg shouted as he summoned clouds above Sceptile and made ice chunks fall on top of Sceptile. Avalugg then hit the ground with a bang, but amazingly stood back up. The ice chunks though, they made a huge explosion that made Ash flinch seeing Sceptile take the hit.
When the white ice smoke cleared, Ash had his pokeball out before the ref even spoke, "Sceptile is unable to battle, Avalugg wins!"
Sceptile glew red and returned to his pokeball, "Thank you Sceptile, you were amazing." Ash then put Sceptile's pokeball back in his belt and picked out another one that belonged to a soundwave dragon. "Noivern I choose you!" Ash exclaimed as he threw the pokeball that revealed a dragon with large ears that resembled speakers.
"NOIVERRRRRRRNNNNNN!" Noivern shouted so loudly that the gym shook. Looking up, Ash had one thought in his mind: 'perfect'.
Stands:
"Noivern?!" People around our heroes shouted in disbelief. "That will get smoked being four times weak to ice!"
Clemont looked worried, "How can Noivern do much damage to an ice type? I wonder…"
"It is curious, he used Noivern last time and managed to take out Beartic, but I don't know if he will be able to do the same with Avalugg," Brock replied.
"Don't worry," a voice that drew everyone's attention said. "Ash knows what he is doing, he will win for sure!"
"Pikapi," Pikachu smiled at the girl that was holding him for having that much faith on his trainer.
"Serena, how can you be so sure?" Bonnie asked while putting a hand to her chin.
Serena smiled at the smiled, "I just know."
Battlefield Ash POV:
I look over at Noivern who I know is going to be the main reason for why I will defeat Avalugg. I look up at the spiky icicles and look back at Noivern. Not yet, I still need to make sure that I am in the right setting. The ref then waves his hand down announcing we can begin to battle once again and I smirk as I see that I can begin my plan, "Noivern keep your distance I don't want to start shenanigans yet."
"Vern!" Noivern replies to me.
I see that Wulfric pumps his fist and says, "Avalanche."
I knew I had to move my dragon, "Noivern quick use sky attack and rush Avalugg quick!" Noivern envelopes himself in a gold aura and goes for Avalugg which confused Wulfric, but the avalanche formed when Noivern hit Avalugg… not on top of Noivern though.
I smile as I see the chunks of ice fall on Avalugg instead of Noivern, but I then flinch realizing I may have made a mistake. Wulfric pumps his fist and yells, "Gyro ball!"
"Avalugg!" Avalugg shouts as he begins to spin in the ice, Something that completely terrorized me. I saw how Noivern was hanging on for his life now. Suddenly I see as Noivern gets launched towards me with incredible speed and I have to call out something.
"Quick spread your wings!" I shout. Noivern does as I command and opens up his wings, and just as I had planned, Noivern stopped moving like a shooting star about to hit me. "What a relief," I say as if Noivern kept going he would have hit me head on! Now it was time to execute my plan. "Noivern use supersonic towards the roof, AS LOUD AS YOU CAN!" I exclaim as I put my fist into the air.
"Noi… VVVVEEEEERRRRRNNNN!" Noivern sent a shrieking loud barrage of sound waves that made the gym start to shake with extreme intensity. Many people covered their ears as they heard the incredible sound. Soon though, I heard a faint crack and crumble…
And just like I planned, the icicles from the roof began to fall to the ground.
"HURRICANE!" I shout through the supersonic with all my might as I put my arms outward. Noivern then flaps his wings and makes a giant wind appear throughout the entire gym that made people in the stands put their hands out and made my scarf choke me, but my goal was different. "Now aim the hurricane to take those giant spiky icicles to Avalugg!" I command while pumping my fist. Noivern aims the icicles and thrashes them to fall like a draco meteor on Avalugg causing a giant explosion that made fire in an ice arena.
"Avalugg!" Wulfric exclaims in shock as I see my chance to finish this.
"BOOMBURST!"
"Noi… VVVVEEEEERRRRRNNN!" Noivern shouts as he charges his ears and expulses a beam of sound waves. The tornadic shaped beam streaks through the sky and strikes Avalugg right in the head.
"Avalugg….." Avalugg groans in the ground with a shocked Wulfric watching the battle.
"Avalugg is unable to battle," the ref declares as he turns to Noivern. "Noivern wins!"
"Alright!" I shout as I punch my fist into the sky. At the same time, I see Avalugg glow red and go back into his pokeball which Wulfric put away in his belt.
Stands:
"YES!" Serena stands up from her seat with Pikachu on her shoulder.
"Wooo! ASH!" Bonnie exclaims.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu happily chants.
Clemont and Brock smiled, but then exchanged a worried glance knowing something powerful was coming since their talk with Wulfric that morning.
Battlefield normal POV:
"Ash, I have to admit, I am very impressed by your battle style," Wulfric said with a smile, arms crossed and eyes closed while looking down at the field. "You completely outsmarted and cornered me." Wulfric then looked up flashing his light blue eyes at Ash, "But I won't lose!"
Ash stared at Wulfric and smiled himself, "Then give me everything you have!" Wulfric was intimidated by this:
Ash was taking the role of the gym leader this time as he was the one asking for the most Wulfric can do. This was enough to make Wulfric smirk knowing this was a different Ash he was battling. "Who is this person I am battling?" Wulfric asked. "He is completely different from the one I battled two days ago."
Ash then smiled, looked at Serena who had a tint of pink in her cheeks, looked back at Wulfric and pumped his fist, "You are battling the real Ash!"
"This real Ash is very strong," Wulfric remarked with a smile. "Now show me his strongest!" Wulfric then grabbed a pokeball from his belt and threw it into the sky. "LET'S GO ABOMASNOW!"
"ABOMASNOW!" The giant pokemon exclaimed as it fell to the ground. The pokemon then sent another battle cry that shot a blast of wind that made Ash's scarf blow violently, and before everyone knew it, it was hailing indoors.
Ash knew he had to give it his all now, "Noivern, let's set the bar even higher!"
"Vern!"
"Boomburst let's go!" Ash exclaimed. Noivern shot the beam out of his ears and the beam streaked and hit Abomasnow in the chest. Abomasnow then crossed his arms and slid on the snow to protect himself from damage and looked back up with an amused expression.
Wulfric then pumped his fist our and shouted, "Ice shard!" Abomasnow launched fragments of ice through the ground air and they were headed for the flying soundwave dragon.
Ash quickly out his arm out and exclaimed, "Dodge it with your echolocation!" Noivern quickly maneuvered through the air and used sound waves from his ears to dodge the incoming ice shards that seeked him in mid air. One shard though hit Noivern and there was an explosion to which Noivern started falling from the sky. "Noivern NO!"
"Ice punch!" Wulfric exclaimed.
"Boma… SNOW!" Abomasnow shouted as he hit Noivern in the head with a powerful freezing punch that made Noivern fall back into the snow struggling to get up.
"Noi…" Noivern strained as the hail caused him to feel very weak.
Ash then called out to Noivern, "Noivern I need you to get up, I know you can do this!" Noivern slowly got up and stared down his opponent. Noivern then flapped his wings and took flight once more. "Noivern use supersonic to confuse him!" Noivern shot a wave of sounds that were meant to hit the Abomasnow, but Wulfric had another plan.
"Ice shard through the supersonic!"
Abomasnow roared as he sent the ice missiles towards Noivern. This made Ash change his mind about something, "Noivern quick use boomburst to break apart the shards!" Noivern made his ears shoot out the powerful beam and the. They exploded into a lot of smoke that made Ash smirk. "Use sky attack!" A golden light was seen through the smoke and Wulfric had to smirk at what he had to do.
"Abomasnow swing around a wood hammer!" Wulfric exclaimed while pumping his fist. Abomasnow made a green log with his arm and started swinging around and around. When Noivern came by with sky attack, Abomasnow's log met with Noivern's head on attack. The two strained for a second until suddenly the wood hammer gave through and launched Noivern into the sky defenseless. "Ice shard!" Abomasnow shot five shards that instantly streaked and hit Noivern which made the soundwave dragon fall in a large explosion in front of Ash.
"Noivern!" Ash shouted in worry.
The ref noticed that Noivern was not moving and made his call, "Noivern is unable to battle, Abomasnow wins!"
Ash took out his pokeball and materialized his dragon back, "Thank you for your great effort out there, take a good rest."
"So, it seems we are in the same boat?" Wulfric asked while giving a toothy grin.
"Hehe," Ash replied very amused. "It seems so." Ash then reached into his belt and grabbed a pokeball. Ash looked at this pokeball with interest as there was a large amount of power radiating from it. It was the same pokeball this pokemon decided to be in when Ash first caught it and Ash knew he had to use him. "My last pokemon! GRENINJA I CHOOSE YOU!"
The pokeball was thrown into the air and from it came a bright light that turned into a blue bipedal frog that had a large tongue scarf in his neck and also had a white abdomen. This pokemon also had shuriken markings on its legs. "Ninja," he said with crossed arms.
Stands:
Serena looked at Ash and Greninja and put her hands together, "Ash, take care."
Battlefield:
"So your Frogadier evolved into Greninja," Wulfric said with crossed arms. "Very well then."
"We are so much more powerful now, Wulfric," Ash smirked as he pumped his fist. "Let me show you what we can do!"
"Ninja," Greninja said as he uncrossed his arms and put one in front of him while the other behind him in a battle stance. Greninja then had some blue sparks from the hail hit him, but the badassness of Greninja made him ignore it.
The referee ordered for the battle to resume so Ash took the first move, "Greninja, let's begin our first battle together strong! Use water pulse!" What happened next was not water pulse. Greninja reached to its legs that had shuriken marks and made two shurikens made of water with his hands and threw them to Abomasnow like disks. Ash looked wide eyed as the attack collided and made a lot of damage to Abomasnow who fell back in pain. Ash checked his pokedex to be met with a new move. "Awesome, Greninja learned water shuriken!"
"Ninja," Greninja smiled under his scarf and pumped his fist at Ash.
"Right! Use aerial ace!"
"Gren… NINJA!" Greninja jabs abomasnow in the torso with a white glowing fist.
"Snow…"
"JA!" Hits the jaw.
"Boma…"
"NINJA!" Hits the groin with a kick.
"Bomasnow…"
"GREN!" Hits the top of the head with a punch and then falls with his foot and hits the top of the head down. "NIN!"
"Abomasnow…"
"Gren… NIN NIN NINJA!" Hits the torso again, then the upper right chest and then the lower left abdomen with a powerful kick.
"Abomasnow…" Abomasnow grunted in pain as he was on his knees in front of Wulfric.
"Impressive," Wulfric mouthed his words in shock as to how powerful Greninja was. "Use ice punch!" Abomasnow got up and made his fist glow blue. Then Abomasnow headed for Greninja.
"Heads up Greninja, double team!"
Just as Abomasnow was going to hit Greninja, Greninja split into many copies and Abomasnow tried hitting all of them at the same time. One by one, every copy disappeared, but Greninja was nowhere to be seen. "What?" a perplexed Wulfric asked.
Ash then threw his fist out, "Now aqua blade!" Greninja appeared like a blur behind Abomasnow and made a dark blue kunai with his webbed hand and slammed the blade into Abomasnow's back making him fall in front of Wulfric completely dazed.
Wulfric looked at the battle quite amused because he now felt motivated to do something he has not done since his battle with Calem. "Ash," Wulfric started. "You have pushed me to the limit, so let me show you exactly how far I will go!" Wulfric the grabbed the necklace he had on and opened it revealing a keystone.
Ash's eye widened, "Keystone!"
"Ninja!"
"Abomasnow, show your power!" Wulfric exclaimed as he squeezed the keystone with all his power "MEGA EVOLVE!" Abomasnow then revealed his mega stone and the special stones began to show prongs out and glow. The prongs the connected and glowed white as Abomasnow began to change to look larger and more menacing on all fours. Abomasnow now had more snow covering him and behind him were four large crystals on his back.
"ABOMASNOW!" Abomasnow, now mega evolved, cried with a deafening roar.
Ash then smirked, "Then we will set the bar even higher! WATER SHURIKEN!" Greninja took out his shurikens and launched them at Abomasnow.
"Ice punch!" Wulfric exclaimed as Abomasnow made a freezing punch that slammed into the water shurikens creating a small explosion. "Now use wood hammer!" Abomasnow made a green log with his arm and started charging Greninja, which is something Ash did not like.
"Surround him with double team and then follow up with aerial ace!" Ash shouted as he spread out his arms.
"gren gren gren gren," Greninja spread into a lot of copies around Abomasnow that ran around. "GRENINJA!" Greninja shouted as he and his copies made all four limbs glow white and then charged Abomasnow.
Wulfric saw the threat and decided to be fast, "Spin around!"
"Aboma… SNOW!" Abomasnow swung around the green log and hit the copies until eventually the real one got hit and fell in front of Ash dazed.
"Ninja," Greninja groaned in the ground as he got to his knees. Then, Greninja pumped his fist at Ash…
Power connecting.
Ash and Greninja then both put their left fist in front of each other, "Greninja, let's win this together!" Ash exclaimed as he and Greninja pumped both their fists at their sides. "AAAAAHHHHH" Ash shouted as Greninja began to shoot a torrent of water around him. Suddenly, Greninja's tongue turned blue and there was a lot of features included like the red fins and the lightning bolt in the edge of Greninja's face. Significantly, the torrent turned into a huge pair of wings around Greninja's back and then solidified into a giant water shuriken.
Greninja then crossed his arms and yelled, "NINJA!"
Ash and Wulfric were both stunned and the ref was also speechless.
Stands:
"What was that?!" somebody yelled.
"I have never seen anything like this!" another yelled.
Brock had too much bottled up inside at this point, "What the actual fu-!"
"Language!" Clemont stopped Brock from talking anymore while pointing at Bonnie.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK!" Bonnie shrieked in excitement.
The second Bonnie's words entered Clemont's ears, Clemont let out a large shriek of disgust.
"The legend, it was him…" Serena said wide eyed while staring at Greninja that had just transformed into Ash-Greninja.
Battlefield playing Nightcore- Angel with a Shotgun:
"What is this power, Ash?" Wulfric asked with a smirk liking the challenge.
Get out your guns, battle's begun… are you a saint or sinner...
Ash smirked and pumped his fist, which Greninja did at the same time. "I don't know what it is… BUT I DIG IT!" (Yes, this is a Beyblade reference). Ash then put his arms out and behind his back, "WATER SHURIKEN!" Greninja did the same and grabbed the giant water shuriken on his back and launched it at Abomasnow. The shuriken made contact and sawed Abomasnow who got sent flying by the shuriken. "Now use aqua blade!" Greninja made his dark blue blades show up and jumped into the air to try and hit Abomasnow.
If love's a fight, then I shall die, with my heart on a trigger.
"Ice shard!" Wulfric exclaims while putting his arm out. Abomasnow gets up and shoots the missile like shards and makes them head towards Greninja.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Ash then looks at what he has to do and smirks. "If love is what you need," Ash narrows his eyes. "A Greninja I will be!"
I am an angel with a shotgun! Fighting 'til the wars won. Ash is swinging his arms like Greninja does his blades, left, right, 360 turn, cross in front of his face. I don't care if heaven won't take me back! I'll throw away my faith babe, just to keep you safe, don't you know you're everything I have!
"Ice punch/Water shuriken!" Both pokemon take out their respective moves and start swinging. Greninja being more on the defensive side as the freezing punches come through.
And I…. Want to live not just survive… TONIGHT! "GRENINJA!" Greninja shouts as he gets a great swing that stops the ice punch and hits Abomasnow thus hitting him back.
"Double team!" Ash shouts.
"Gren Gren Gren!" Greninja splits into many copies of himself while Abomasnow gets up.
"Aerial ace!" Ash shouts as he sees through Greninja's vision where he needs to attack.
"Wood hammer spin all the way around!" Wulfric exclaimed while pumping his fist and putting his other arm out. Abomasnow did just that and spun around in a dangerous pace thus causing the charging Greninja to get hit. Ash then felt the pain course through him and he grabbed his arm in pain.
I'm an angel with a shotgun fighting 'til the wars one I don't care if Heaven won't take me back!
Ash did not give up though and he looked up, "Use aqua blade!"
"Greninja!" Greninja shouted while charging Abomasnow with his dark blue kunais.
"Ice punch let's go!"
Abomasnow hit Greninja in the blades and froze them over with ice punch giving Ash an idea, "Greninja throw the blades!" Ash then made throwing motions with his hands as he threw the blades that hit Abomasnow. "Now let's finish this, aerial ace!" Ash shouted as Greninja and he raised their legs in a large kick and with white limbs Greninja slammed into Abomasnow with everything he had.
"Ja Ninja… GRENINJA!"
"Snoooowwww…." Abomasnow was being battered by the hits and falls over in front of his trainer barely moving.
"Let's finish this, water shuriken!" Ash shouted as he put his arms out behind him. Greninja unleashed his shuriken and made it grow to a size six times larger than Greninja himself.
And I… want to live not just survive!
Wulfric was at a lost of words as to what was happening.
Greninja then threw the shuriken with every piece of might he had. The water shuriken streaked towards Abomasnow.
And I… want to hide, hide…
The shuriken is about to hit the giant snow monster.
HIDE MY WINGS TONIGHT!
"BOOOOOOOOOMMMM," the giant water shuriken slams into Abomasnow and causes a huge explosion that left everyone in the crowds completely speechless. "My ice, he absolutely f*cked it!" Wulfric remarked.
On the ground was Abomasnow…
In his regular form…
Defeated…
"Abomasnow is unable to battle, Greninja wins!" The ref exclaimed. "Which means the win goes to Ash the challenger!"
Wulfric was stunned, but quietly returned his giant snow monster to his pokeball.
"Alright!" Ash exclaimed as he ran into the ice field and embraced Greninja who returned to his normal form. Then Ash high fived the aquatic frog. Ash then turned to the stands and saw more or less 40 people clapping. He moved his eyes to where he last saw his companions, but they were not there.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu tackled Ash to a hug from behind, startling him, but Ash smiled and returned the embrace as well.
"Hey bud, nice to see you again!" Ash said as he petted his electric rodent.
"Great job Ash, that was amazing!" Clemont exclaimed. "To know you had the legend the whole time."
"What do you me-"
"Ash that was the best I have ever seen you, clearly a better battle than last time," Brock told Ash with a smile.
Ash POV:
"Ash that was so awesome, you and Greninja kicked some butt!" Bonnie shouted.
"Nenne!" Dedenne agreed with Bonnie from his pouch.
I thanked them and looked at the last person that was waiting to congratulate me… Serena. She stood there with a smile, one that meant she was proud of me… who am I kidding this was only possible because of her, she deserves something.
I put out my fist for a fistbump.
Scroll down again :)
I mentally curse myself.
She goes to accept the fist bump…
F*ck it!
As her fist is about to touch mine, I unravel my fist and get a grip in her hand and pull her into a hug. I notice Clemont and Brock smile and Bonnie smirk.
I could guess Serena was blushing… Probably because I brought her this close to me, so I whisper in her ear something, "Thanks for bringing me back."
I felt Serena tense up and then relax and then I heard a shy, "y-you're welcome." I could tell she was probably not comfortable so I parted the hug and smiled at her. Her face was all red, but I could see happiness in her look so I was happy with that.
"That really was an amazing battle Ash, now that you have shown to me your true power, I can give this to you with confidence," I hear a new voice and notice it belonged to Wulfric who is walking up to me with a pillow in his hands. "For proof of your victory here in the Snowbelle gym, I present to you the Iceberg Badge! Go ahead and take it."
I look at the hexagonal badge presented to me and pick it up, "Thanks Wulfric." I then look at my friends and exclaim while jumping. "ALRIGHT! I GOT THE ICEBERG BADGE!"
"Pi pikachu!"
"NINJA!"
I then pull out my badge case and put the last badge I needed on there. As soon as I close it, the badges glisten to the light. Wulfric then speaks up to me, "So, I am guessing you are going for the Kalos League right?"
"You bet!" I exclaim as I shake hands with Wulfric for a thank you note on a fun and great battle.
Later that night normal POV:
Serena walks up to the door of the pokemon center and overhears what Ash is saying.
"Alright guys, next up is the Kalos League, are you guys ready?!"
"Pika!"
"Tile!"
"Gruaw!"
"Ninja!"
"Vern!"
"Goodra!"
Ash smiled at his team and jumped with a fist out to the sky, "Then let's WIN!"
And with that, Ash's pokemon shared one more battle cry and Ash knew…
All of his pokemon are ready to take on the Kalos League.
