With Ash in the room next to the dugouts towards the stadium:
Ash was carefully watching the battle on the monitor with a serious face. A boy with green hair was commanding a large tiger and from the looks of it. Ash did not think that Hau could be sweeping with just Incineroar so easily, but it was happening.
Ash watched as Hau put his arm out in front of him and crushed it while commanding a darkest lariat. Ash watched closely as Incineroar made his claws glow black and begin to charge the opposing Heracross.
"Pika…" Pikachu said while looking at the screen with a semi intimidated look. Ash saw this and looked back at the screen as Heracross was commanded to use megahorn by his trainer.
"And it seems that both pokemon will charge at each other with a powerful move, who will win?"
Ash watched closely as Incineroar grabbed Heracross with his dark claws by the horn. At this he flinched and then Incineroar launched his opposing bug and fighting type into the sky. "No way…" Ash mouthed as he saw the large tiger swing the beetle around. As soon as Ash could comprehend, Hau put his fist out and commanded for a flamethrower. Ash flinched as he saw the jet of beams collide directly with the bug type.
Heracross tried to stand up after that, but it was obvious that Heracross had taken too much damage and he fell over. The referee made the call and the screen blacked out the Heracross while also putting Hau's face to everyone where it said "Winner" it.
"And Hau has shown that his Incineroar is amazing by completely defeating Roger's whole team with just a couple of attacks!"
Ash watched as Hau recalled Incineroar and silently began to walk back through the dugout. Ash saw this as his opportunity so he went out of the room by turning the knob and going to the entrance of the tunnel. Ash knew he was up against Trevor next, but he wanted to say congratulations to Hau before he went on to battle.
Hau then came down the entrance with a slight look of satisfaction on his face. 'I just need to win one more battle and I complete my objective' Hau thought as he walked through the blue glassed tunnel.
"Hey Hau!"
"Pika!"
Hau turned around to see the raven haired trainer with the blue scarf right next to him as he left the dugout and slightly smiled, "Oh, hey, Ash is your name, right?"
"Nice to meet you Hau," Ash replied with a smile. "Congrats on winning!"
Hau shadowed his eyes and said, "Yea, thanks, but I won't truly feel proud of myself until I win the next round." Hau then started to walk away while holding up his hand. "I have to go do some stuff, see ya later."
Ash looked at Hau from behind with a dumbfounded face. He had no clue what Hau had meant, but he shook it off. He needed to start his own battle now and it was against Trevor. "Ready bud?" Ash asked Pikachu.
"Pika pika!" Pikachu shouted with confidence as he gathered electricity.
Ash saw this as the green light and he began to walk down the dugout. His heartbeat matched his walking pace as he noticed that it was time to battle someone that was a close friend this early. From Ash's point of view, he could see the lights and the strong cheering going on from the stadium as he approached the light.
As soon as he stepped in the arena, his vision went all white.
A/N: So I did want to give Ash a little bit of fear for when it came to seeing Hau since he had never seen someone with so much raw power before.
Another thing to note is that this will be a strong battle between Ash and Trevor, there is no questions asked about this since this battle will involve one of the strongest encounters anyone could think of.
Also, I know it may get a little repetitive to be using the same pokemon over and over for each league battle, but as you have clearly noticed, Ash's pokemon can do amazing different things with just four moves and in different conditions, so it may not be the same battle. This time it will be a lot more of a strategy battle with Noivern than a battle of raw power and this is also the debut of Pikachu in the league so be hype for that. If Ash wins against Trevor, then maybe we will see Goodra and Greninja sometime soon. ;)
Anyways, enjoy the battle as I will have fun writing it!

Chapter 35- A tale of a species with two mega evolutions! A shocking debut at the Kalos League!
Ash POV:
I see my vision go completely white as I walk into the arena. The color then comes back to me as I look around at the large amount of cheering and a bright sunny sky that overcoats the large stands that are in a hexagonal shape filled with people. I see across from me as Trevor walked towards his trainer platform with a smirk. I smirk back as I take the step up to the trainer platform.
Separating Trevor and me is a large hole that would decide which field we would battle in. I was ready for anything. I look to my right and up to see the scoreboard. It looked prepared and fresh ready for the battle to start:
Ash: (Pokeball) (Pokeball) (Pokeball)
Trevor: (Pokeball) (Pokeball) (Pokeball)
"We are about to have the last round of the day! Like stated prior, this match will be three on three and with a random battlefield. Let's see what Trevor and Ash will give us!"
I hear the crowd cheer as I see a rising battlefield come up and fill in the gap between Trevor and Me. I see the field that is made mostly out of rock, but there is three large formations in the middle. Obviously it was a mountainous terrain, so it would be appropriate if I used my flying types, but maybe Pikachu could be of use to me as well because of his small size, we will have to see.
"And the battle will be held in a mountain field! Who will our trainers choose to battle with first?"
I see as the referee steps up to the field and puts his hand out while saying, "This will be a three on three pokemon battle. Substitutions are allowed and the match will be over when any three pokemon on either side are unable to continue." The ref then put his hands out and exclaimed. "Choose your first pokemon!"
"Noivern, I choose you!" I shout as I reach into my belt and pick out Noivern's pokeball. I then throw the pokeball out and it opens in front of me while revealing the sound wave dragon.
"The Noivern that took out that Archeops!"
I hear the crowd roar as I looked at Noivern and smiled, "Let's do our best Noivern!"
"Vern!" Noivern replies to me while smiling at me. I knew I could count on Noivern if I needed someone to get me through this rocky and unstable terrain.
"Noivern huh?" I hear Trevor reply. "Florges let's go!" Trevor then throws a pokeball and from it comes out a large flower like pokemon that was suspended in mid air and had pink flowers on her head.
"Clearly there is a large disadvantage for Noivern. How will this battle play out?"
I see the referee then put his hand down and shout:
"Battle BEGIN!"
Battle music begin! Ash (Noivern) vs Trevor (Florges):
"I will take the first move!" I declare as I pump my fist. "Take the skies and use your echolocation to hide from Florges!"
"Noivern!" Noivern replies to me as he spreads his wings and propelled himself into the sky. I see as tiny sound waves come out of Noivern's ears as he navigates the mountains. I look over at Trevor. He has a smile on his face, it seems that he may have already known my plan the whole time to play passive as he completely surprised me with his command.
"Florges use misty terrain!" Trevor exclaims while putting his hand out. Florges makes a battle cry and from it she spreads out a pink misty substance that I looked down on. I noticed how it was covering my feet so I knew that obviously I needed to go in with caution.
"And it seems that as Ash plays a hiding game, Trevor is playing a concealing game. Florges is increasing the power of her fairy type moves. What can Ash do at this disadvantage with a dragon type?"
In the stands normal POV:
"Interesting, using misty terrain," Tierno remarked as he put a hand on his chin watching the battle. He was intrigued as to how this was going to play out.
"I feel like Ash will get through this somehow," Serena said with a serious face as she watched the battle.
"I wouldn't underestimate Trevor, though," Clemont replied as he adjusted the glare on his glasses. "Looking at Trevor's camera, I see that he is probably got something hidden up his sleeve." Brock and Calem agreed with Clemont watching the battle as Noivern hid himself from Florges' view using the echo location, but the misty terrain was beginning to cover a lot of the battlefield.
'Ash, you better get through this one...' Calem thought to himself. It was obvious that he was hyped up for a rematch against Ash, but Ash obviously had to defeat Trevor and get through.
Bonnie then stood up from her seat and shouted out to Ash, "Good luck Ash and Noivern!"
A little higher up in the stands Hunter was watching Ash carefully. He noticed the fire burning in Ash's eyes and instantly became completely psyched to watch the battle between both trainers. It promised to be a dazzling performance.
"He seems like a good trainer, he interests me just as much as you do," Hunter heard from his right. Hunter turned to his friend Night and smirked.
"Another challenge I will have to defeat I guess," Hunter replied as he looked back at the field with stronger intensity.
"Yea, good luck against him," Leaf replied towards Hunter with a smile. "You would have to go through a lot just to defeat him."
"Heheh, I guess," Hunter replied as he kept his focus on the match.
Back at the battle:
"So Ash, are you ready for your plan to get completely screwed over?" Trevor taunted as he looked at the raven haired trainer who quirked an eyebrow at the inference. Trevor then smirked and lifted his hand into the air. "Use dazzling gleam! Blind him!" Florges created an orb with her hands and then released it to go up into the air. The orb then exploded into a lot of colors that had flashing light and it blinded the audience that was watching the battle and Ash himself as he had to cover up his eyes.
"Noi…" Noivern replied as he began to fall out of the sky and towards the ground. The soundwave dragon the collided with the rocky ground that was covered in a pink mist and then struggled to get up. Noivern had clearly been blinded by the attack.
"It seems that Trevor's attack has completely caused Noivern to be unable to see, what amazing power!"
"Noivern, we don't need your vision, do your ears work?"
"NOI!" Noivern shouted while releasing a small boomburst into the sky revealing that Noivern could still use his ears.
"Great!" Ash said as he pumped his fist with a smile. "Now let's use your echolocation to airborne again, then use your sky attack to charge up a strong attack!" Noivern took flight again and flew around the arena without vision, but by using sound. Then, Noivern charged up a small battlecry that kept getting more intense as he began to glow gold and charge around the stadium in front of the stands mesmerizing the audience. The audience cheered as Noivern then came crashing back towards the battlefield and used his echo location to navigate cleanly through the mountains.
"Florges, get down towards the ground near the side of the mountain and conceal yourself in the mist!" Trevor exclaimed while putting his arm out.
"Flor…" Florges replied as she got to the ground of the battlefield and concealed herself in her own pink mist. Then Florges was completely invisible to everyone that was watching the battle, except one pokemon.
"That won't work, use sky attack Noivern!" Ash exclaimed.
"Noi…!" Noivern shouted as he nose dived into the ground and pulled up as the amount of waves that reflected increased in position. Suddenly, Noivern used his echolocation with his ears while flying and avoiding the mountains and then he found his target. "VERN!" Noivern shouted as he collided with the flower pokemon and then Florges fell all the way back. From Ash's point of view, he wanted a little bit more visibility so he made the next move.
"What an amazing way for Ash to make a comeback! Using the ears instead of the eyes is something extremely risky, but Noivern handles it like a champ!"
"Now, remove all of the mist with hurricane!" Ash shouted as he put a hand out. The sound wave dragon made a flap of his wings and from that there was a cyclone that appeared with Noivern in the center. Slowly, the mist began to fade and from that Florges began to also be carried through the windy conditions in a circular path around Noivern. "Now attack it with boomburst!" Ash shouted with his scarf moving around in the wind like a flag. Noivern stopped his large amount of wind and then flew to be in front of Florges and then reeled back his ears to make them glow white as he shot a white beam based on sound waves towards the flower pokemon. The boomburst collided and Florges got pushed back to be in front of her trainer with great struggle.
"Ges…" Florges grunted as she got back up.
"Amazing power…" Trevor muttered as he smirked and exclaimed, "I won't go down so easily, Florges can you keep going?" Trevor asked his pokemon. She turned around and nodded. "Great, use grass whistle!"
"Flor!" Florges exclaimed with great volume as she merged the two leaves she has on her body and then she put it to her mouth and began to play a melody that instantly made Noivern's flying begin to alter.
"Noivern watch out!" Ash called out as he saw Noivern start to fly in a funny directions and slam into the side of the mountain completely asleep. "Come on… think Ash…"
"Use dazzling gleam once more!"
"Flor…" Florges shouted as she launched the same white orb into the sky and then the orb broke up into many stabbing bits of light that charged the sleeping large eared dragon. Noivern took the hit in an explosion and then he fell back in front of Ash still asleep with definitely a lot more damage than before.
"This looks terrible for Noivern, is this it for him?"
At the stands:
"This really does not look good for Ash," Brock pointed out. "Noivern is asleep and he can't really do much."
"What way will this battle go after all?" Calem asked as he saw the fight going down.
'Come on Ash' Serena thought nervously to herself.
Back at the battle:
"Noivern NO!" Ash shouted in panic seeing as Noivern was being completely trashed around due to being asleep. Ash gritted his teeth as he thought of the way that Noivern alters the amount of sound that he gives out in his attack in order to make himself stronger. Ash then thought of a creative way to get out of this situation… He took note of how Noivern's ears were face down on the ground, "Noivern, I know you can hear me!" Ash shouted while he cuffed his hands. "Use some form of boomburst, don't even aim it!" Suddenly, under Noivern's ears, a faint glow of white occured and as Trevor saw this he flinched. Suddenly, an unexpected explosion consumed Noivern and a lot of dust from the rocky arena picked up around the sound wave dragon. "Now confuse Florges with supersonic!"
"Noivern!" Noivern shouted as he got Florges in a large barrage of sound waves that made the flower barely able to move and shocking Trevor with the sudden effect of the self using boomburst.
"Ash's amazing battle style saves him, but how will Trevor react?"
The audience instantly cheered seeing how the table seemed to be turning back to Ash's favor, but this did not mean that things would finish off well for Ash...
"Quick Florges, use dazzling straight through!" Trevor exclaimed while pumping his fist.
"Flor… GES!" Florges shouted as she charged up a large orb in her hands and suddenly launching it towards the sound wave dragon. Ash saw how the attack was defeating the supersonic and decided that he had to do something fast in order to be victorious.
Noivern quick! Dodge it and use sky attack!" Ash exclaimed while putting his hands out. Noivern stopped his supersonic and jumped into the sky with a great amount of power and then avoided the attack that flew past Noivern and exploded behind him on the mountain side. Suddenly, Noivern began to glow gold as he charged in for the attack on Florges.
Trevor though, he smirked…
"Use vine whip to stop Noivern!" Trevor exclaimed. Florges put her vines in front of herself and cushioned the golden glowing dragon to a stop in front of her. As Ash saw this, he gritted his teeth in panic. "Now launch Noivern!" Florges then swung the black dragon in her vines into the sky and let go. Trevor finished off his barrage of moves while putting his hand out and pumping his fist with another. "Use dazzling gleam once more!"
"Flor… GES!" Florges shouted as she shot the orb towards Noivern to then explode and pierce through Noivern in a large explosion in mid air that sent a shockwave through the stadium and causing Ash's scarf to shake violently.
"Noivern!"
"PIKA!"
Noivern fell in front of Ash completely unconscious and the referee raised his hand while declaring, "Noivern is unable to battle, Florges wins!"
"And this battle ends well for Trevor, what an unexpected way to turn the tables!"
Ash sighed as he took out Noivern's pokeball and made the fallen dragon get consumed in red light and get sucked into his pokeball, "You did your best, the type advantage was just too much. You did good damage though, so I am going to take advantage of your efforts, thank you." Noivern's pokeball gave one satisfied shake to which Ash smiled as he put the pokeball back in his belt. Ash then looked down at his electric partner and said, "Pikachu, you want to battle?"
Pikachu looked up at Ash with a determined face while pumping his fist, "Pikapi pikachu!"
"Alright then," Ash said as he looked back at his opponent. The raven haired trainer then pointed up to the sky and exclaimed, "Pikachu! I choose you!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he jumped over Ash. "Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted as he landed in front of Ash in the arena while gathering electricity in his cheeks with a smirk.
"And Ash's next pokemon will be the debut of his Pikachu! What can this rodent possibly do?"
At the stands:
Serena looked at the scoreboard while holding her ribbon. It was pretty blatant that Ash was losing because he had already lost a pokemon:
Ash: Noivern (Pokeball) Pikachu
Trevor: (Pokeball) (Pokeball) Florges
"Trevor really has Ash in a bad spot to be able to take down Noivern like that," Shauna inferred.
Serena, who was sitting next to Shauna looked down on Ash and said, "Ash will win, I know so, Pikachu is Ash's most trusted pokemon and with Pikachu at his side, Ash can defeat just about anyone!"
"Good luck Ash and Pikachu!" Bonnie exclaimed as she got out from her seat to cheer on Ash. "Win this for us!"
"You know, if Ash takes advantage of iron tail, he may be able to win," Clemont said as he adjusted his glasses.
"And if Pikachu uses that special move he knows…" Brock said while grabbing his chin.
"What move?" Calem asked curiously being next to Brock. "What does it do?"
"I really don't know how to explain it," Brock replied with a sweat drop.
Clemont also went in to fill in the blanks for everyone, "None of us other than Brock has seen it, but from what I have heard..." Clemont made his glasses glisten in the sunlight that was coming from the top of the stadium. "Electric overdrive is a very devastating move. Well, that is what Ash said when we questioned him about it."
Back at the battle:
The ref called out for the battle to continue and Trevor made the first move, "Florges use another vine whip to grab Pikachu!" Florges once more summoned her vines and with that, she reached out to grab Pikachu, but Ash was a lot smarter than to just let Pikachu get taken down by a vine whip.
"Pikachu let it grab you!" Ash exclaimed while he pumped both of his fists.
"Pi…" Pikachu nodded as he let the vines surround him and grasp his entire body and lift him up into the air.
Ash then smirked and put his hand out, "Use thunderbolt!"
Pikachu smirked as he saw the command and began charging his electricity, "Pika…. CHUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu exclaimed as he electrocuted the vines and fried them in the direction of Florges. The crackling vines then caught back up with Florges and Florges got hit with a strong electrocution that left her glowing yellow for some time. Suddenly, Florges got back up slowly and dazed, but then yellow electricity surrounded her which indicated one thing: paralysis.
"And Pikachu manages to get Florges in a terrible case of paralysis with one move! How amazing is this!"
"Florges, use dazzling gleam!" Trevor exclaimed as he pumped his fists at the flower pokemon in front of him.
"Flor… GES!" Florges exclaimed as her paralysis stopped affecting her and causing her to charge up the orb in her hands and shoot it in the direction of Pikachu, who had landed on the ground. The dazzling gleam then shot out its piercing bright light and Pikachu covered his eyes to avoid being blinded like Noivern.
Ash knew he needed to make his move so he put his hands and shouted, "Pikachu use thunderbolt as a counter shield to avoid getting hit!" Pikachu instantly nodded as he began to roll on the ground and shoot out a beam of electricity that was in the shape of a tornado. The bright arena started to glow even more because of the electric current going straight through. The dazzling gleam then collided with the wall of electricity and caused it to get completely neutralized. Ash noticed that there was more danger and decided to go on the offensive, "Pikachu use quick attack!"
"Ash just flipped the tides with a move I have never seen before! Now he is going in the offensive, this Pikachu really is shocking!"
"Pika pika pika pika pika!" Pikachu shouted through the cheering public as he then charged up a sprint and ran across to where Florges was and landed right on her abdomen.
"Flor…" Florges grunted as she tried to get back up.
"Florges, use grass whistle!" Trevor exclaimed.
"Not this time!" Ash retaliated while putting his fist out. "Pikachu use thunderbolt!"
"Pika…" Pikachu shouted as he got back up and into the air while glowing in yellow crackling electricity. "CHUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he let go of all the electricity he had charged. The thunderbolt struck the ground and made a zigzag pattern before connecting with Florges who was barely standing at this point. When the thunderbolt hit, the flower pokemon sunk to the ground and was unable to stand back up thanks to paralysis kicking in once more.
"Paralysis really has Florges at a tough spot, is this it for the flower?"
"Florges NO!" Trevor shouted with gritted teeth.
"Pikachu! Finish this with iron tail!" Ash shouted while putting his hand out. Pikachu jumped into the air towards Florges and made his tail glow white and harden. Pikachu then swung his tail around and collided with the flower pokemon. Florges was consumed in a small explosion of dust as Pikachu landed in front of Ash with a pumped fist. Florges was revealed on the ground when the dust cloud dissipated completely unable to battle.
"Florges is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!" the ref declared as he raised his hand. Pikachu and Ash shared a high five as Trevor recalled his fallen fairy type. Florges' picture grayed out in the scoreboard and it was completely even again.
"Amazing! That Iron tail really gave the super effective hit needed to win the match and it did!"
At the stands:
"Yes Pikachu!" Bonnie shouted as she got up from her seat.
"That Pikachu never fails to disappoint me," Brock replied as he pumped his fist.
'So… That is the moveset that Ash is running, but there is also that one move that I want to see before I jump into conclusions on how this league could end up… Hmmm, I need to see who I can counter Pikachu with if I ever have to battle him, but what if it is Trevor that I have to go against. I don't think Salamence would be a good choice in going up against that Florges, I may have to go Manectric. Who knows', Calem thought as he grabbed his chin.
"Good job Ash," Serena said with a small tint of pink on her cheeks as she grabbed her ribbon with a smile.
Serena then felt a small poke in her shoulder and turned to see Shauna with a quizzical face, "Isn't that counter shield move that Ash used the same spinning move that you used during the masterclass?"
Serena instantly looked away while trying to hold in her blush, "What makes you think that Shauna?" Shauna saw this and decided not to ask anymore questions, but admire the flustered face that Serena was giving. Shauna and Serena then focused back in the battle and the microphone enhanced action that was being displayed between the two battlers.
Back at the battle:
"So who will Trevor choose to battle with?"
Trevor looked down at this pokeball and smiled, "Go Aggron!" Trevor then tossed the pokeball and it opened to a bright flashing light that appeared and materialized to for shape of a large pokemon with steel armor.
"AAAAGGGRON!" The large bipedal metal pokemon called out as he stood across from Pikachu with a large amount of power. Pikachu looked at this pokemon and smirked.
"And Trevor goes with an Aggron, let's see who will take the lead after this exchange!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted while gathering electricity on his cheeks. Pikachu then looked back at his trainer who was admiring the sight of the Aggron and said, "Pika pika!"
"I know Pikachu," Ash replied with a smile. "So I see your Lairon evolved into Aggron, Trevor!"
"It has gotten a lot stronger than last time too," Trevor smirked as he said this. "Aggron, let's start this off by using stone edge!" Aggron then reeled back his body and engraved his fist into the rocky battlefield to then have a barrage of blue rocks shoot out of the ground and head towards Pikachu who was standing in the way.
"Dodge it!" Ash commanded while putting his fist in the air.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he dodged the attack.
"Now Pikachu, go for an iron tail!" Ash exclaimed as he put his arm out. Pikachu made his tail glow white and harden and then Pikachu jumped into the air towards Aggron with the attempt to downcut the pokemon in the head. It was a tough maneuver, but Ash thought it was possible. Trevor though, he wanted to stop the attack.
"Iron defense!"
"Aggron!" Aggron shouted as he glew in a metallic color just before the iron tail collided. When the steel type move collided with the large bipedal armored pokemon, the attack did nothing and instead Pikachu got knocked back in front of Ash in the rocky field with his tail glowing back to its usual yellow color.
"Trevor amazingly used a great move to prevent getting hurt with what could have been a devastating hit with iron tail!"
"Now use takedown!" Trevor exclaimed as he threw his fist outward. Aggron then began to glow white and charge after Pikachu who was right in front of him. Aggron may have been big, but he was decently fast as Ash saw no way to successfully dodge an attack that big.
"Pikachu let's combine some moves like we did before, use quick attack and thunderbolt on yourself as you run and counter the take down!" Ash exclaimed as he pumped his fist with one hand and put his hand out with another.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he glew in a yellow crackling aura of electricity and then began to sprint towards the incoming Aggron. "Pika pika pika pika pika pika!" Pikachu then came to close proximity to Aggron and gave it one last launch. "PIKA!" Pikachu and Aggron closed the gap and collided. This caused a large shockwave to go through the battlefield causing the destruction of some loose rocks on the mountain field and Ash's scarf and hair along with Trevor's orange hair both waved in the air as both trainers gritted their teeths.
Both pokemon got completely pushed back. Aggron fell to the ground in front of his trainer while Pikachu flew into the sky. "Pikachu let go of the thunderbolt on Aggron!" Ash exclaimed while pumping both of his fists.
"Pika… CHUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he stopped shocking himself and redirected the beam of electricity to make a Z line around the ground before hitting the Aggron on the ground. Aggron got enveloped in an explosion. When the smoke cleared, Aggron got back up and made a battle cry that made Trevor smirk.
"So it seems that we are in kind of a stalemate," Trevor smiled as he shadowed his eyes and smirked while saying: "Let's change that... " Trevor then put his arms out around him and shouted, "USE SANDSTORM!"
"AAAAAGGRRRRRONNNN!" Aggron shouted as he collected the dust around him and began to expand the air around him. Suddenly, before Ash knew it, a large amount of dust and wind was covering his face causing him to put his waving scarf over his mouth and nose so that he could see.
"Amazing! Trevor made a sandstorm which has Ash at his spot!"
"How do you like this Ash?" Trevor taunted as he covered his mouth and nose with his shirt. "Use stone edge once more!"
"Pikachu get out of there!" Ash shouted as he could barely see the battle. Pikachu could barely see through the dust either, but it was obvious that Aggron could easily see since he shot the barrage of blue rocks at Pikachu. After a while, the rocks made contact and caused Pikachu to fall in front of Ash without any vision.
"Pikapi…" Pikachu grunted as he tried to stand back up barely able to walk. Ash knew that he needed to do something fast to cancel the sandstorm, or else there will be a huge amount of problems with the way that Pikachu would hold up.
At the stands:
"This is trouble," Calem said with crossed arms.
"Trevor really did get powerful with that Aggron, I am surprised it even learned such a devastating move," Tierno replied with a pensive thought.
Serena grasped her ribbon and hoped that Ash and Pikachu would pull through, she had faith that whatever Ash and Pikachu could do could save the battle.
"If only Ash had a way of getting water…" Clemont remarked.
"Water?" Brock turned to Clemont. "That's IT! Electric overdrive!" Clemont and the others turned to hear what Brock had to say and Brock then explained. "When I saw Pikachu use electric overdrive, he made it rain!" Brock then turned towards the raging battle bellow and said, "That is the only chance Ash has to get out."
Back at the battle:
"Is it even possible for Pikachu to get out of this one?"
"Pikachu!" Ash called out to his electric friend from the raging sandstorm.
"Pikapi?" Pikachu asked with a slightly panicked voice.
"We have to use it!" Ash exclaimed as he collected all of his energy as well as Pikachu. "Pikachu!" Ash then used all of his energy to say the next thing. "ELECTRIC OVERDRIVE!"
Pikachu smirked with all of his power and charged up an aura of electricity that could be seen as a glowing yellow spec in the large sandstorm. Pikachu then raised his arms and summoned clouds over the sandstorm.
"Amazing! I can't believe that there is clouds over the stadium!"
Seeing this caused Trevor to flinch and everyone in the stadium to fall dead silent.
"Pika pika pika pika!" Pikachu exclaimed as the rain that came from the clouds slowly got rid of the sandstorm and the arena turned into Pikachu standing in front of Aggron with a smirk on his face. Aggron had sweat around his face obviously stressed out that Pikachu was still not defeated. Suddenly, five bolts of lightning fell from the sky and surrounded Aggron making Aggron look around in panic. Pikachu then looked ahead and put his hands together causing the lightning bolts to close in and hit Aggron causing massive amounts of damage. "Pika pika pika pika pika…. PIKA… CHUUUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he then took both of his fists and engraved them into the ground and a barrage of rocks came out of the ground with electricity surging through them headed straight for the Aggron.
Trevor went wide eyed at this and shouted, "stone edge!"
"AAGGGROON!" Aggron exclaimed as he tried to engrave his fist into the ground and cause a blue barrage of rocks to come out of the ground with a large amount of power.
The two barrage of rocks struggled, but then the electric rocks raised the earth and caused a large earthquake of electricity to surge towards Aggron. As the attack approached the steel type, he went wide eyed to then become struck with a large explosion.
From the distance, one could see as the large arena in the middle of the hexagonal stadium made a large yellow electric orb come out of the center. "BOOOM!" the giant explosion was heard throughout the stadium and then there was a bunch of dust surrounding the arena. Everyone in the stands looked at the arena with curiosity waiting for the result of what happened.
When the dust cleared, Pikachu was shown on the rocky ground standing with a smile. Pikachu then turned to his trainer and cheered, "Pika pikachu!"
"Aggron?" Trevor asked as he saw his pokemon slumping against the side of the mountain. There was a huge dent in the mountain and Trevor went wide eyed watching as Aggron was completely unable to battle.
"Aggron is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!" the ref exclaimed as he raised his hand. Trevor recalled Aggron as the picture of Aggron blacked out in the screen. It was clearly a shifting battle that was occurring.
"And Ash has retained the lead of the battle, what an amazing show of power from both sides, but it was clear that whatever electric overdrive is, it caused a massive impact in the balance of the battle!"
In the stands:
"YES!" Serena exclaimed as she stood up while grasping her ribbon. "It is two on one!"
"I wouldn't celebrate already…" Brock replied to Serena. "Ash still has to battle the last pokemon, and from looking at Trevor, I do believe that it will be a powerful pokemon."
"I know," Tierno replied to Brock. "Trevor has a little secret no one really knows about." Tierno said this with a wink causing everyone to look at each other with confused looks.
'That move… wow…' Calem thought with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Rows above Hunter was surprised. "Eevee?" Eevee asked his trainer as he watched Ash with a little bit of shock.
"Yea, Eevee, this is a dude is pretty strong to be able to turn the tides with just one pokemon. His team so far has been surprising, except Noivern, but I may see that Pikachu really is a powerful pokemon," Hunter replied to his partner.
Night looked at Ash and smiled, "Hunter, that Noivern just got unlucky with type disadvantage." Night then turned to Hunter and said, "Watch that dragon defeat your legendary."
"Oh please," Hunter replied with a smile.
Leaf then turned to Hunter, "Don't be too ambitious Hunter, you need to concentrate on doing well."
Hunter replied then with, "Yea you are right, I will try my hardest."
Back at the battle:
Ash gave Pikachu a nice high five on the electric rodent's tail that caused the collision to spark a little. "Want to keep going buddy?" Ash asked his friend.
"Pika pika!" Pikachu replied as he got back into the field and looked ahead while gathering electricity.
Trevor smirked as he saw this and into the rain, he threw his last pokeball while exclaiming, "Go Charizard!" The pokeball went into the sky and opened very high into the air revealing the same draconic fire type that Ash has on his team. It was curious to Ash how something on the Charizard's tail was glowing slightly to the light. This pokemon then flew into the rain and stood in front of Trevor with a large smirk and a strong expression on his face completely ready to battle.
"This is it! Trevor's last pokemon and it is a Charizard!"
The scoreboard updated so that Charizard was shown and Ash looked at the scoreboard to check the progress of the battle:
Ash: Noivern (Pokeball) Pikachu
Trevor: Florges Aggron Charizard
The battle really was reaching its climax and Ash could barely wait for that to happen. Ash then put his hand out and exclaimed, "Are you ready Pikachu?"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted with confidence.
"Alright then! Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Ash exclaimed while craning his arm from the ground and back to a fist at his side.
"Pika… CHUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he launched the lightning beam at Charizard.
"Dodge it Charizard!" Trevor exclaimed so that his pokemon would not take any super effective damage. Charizard waited until the thunderbolt looked like it was about to hit and then jumped into the sky while spreading his wings and becoming airborne. The thunderbolt kept going and crashed into the mountain causing several rocks to fall from the top of the mountain and down to the ground. Trevor then made his next move, "Use flamethrower!"
"Dodge it Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed while crossing a fist in front of his body. Pikachu saw the jet of flames and then spin dodged up and over the flames in an attempt to escape the flames which he did perfectly and then Ash made his next move. "Use quick attack!"
"Dragon claw quick!" Trevor exclaimed.
"Gruaw!" Charizard exclaimed as he made his claws glow a green color and charge Pikachu who had a white streak behind him as the mouse sprinted. The gap closed and the two pokemon locked in a slight stalemate for a while until they both sent a shockwave throughout the arena and fell back in front of their trainers.
At that very moment, Ash felt as the rain got lighter, and as he looked at the sky he noticed that the rain clouds have disappeared.
"Well there goes the rain, what will Ash's strategy be now?"
"Pikachu, want to take on Charizard directly?" Ash asked his friend. Pikachu turned around and smirked giving Ash the complete green light. "Alright then, use quick attack and then bounce off and use thunderbolt!"
"Pika pika pika pika pika," Pikachu exclaimed as he charged up his power to go into a sprint.
"I won't let you!" Trevor exclaimed. "Wait for it…"
Pikachu started to get nearer to Charizard and the ladder prepared himself to grab Pikachu. As soon as the electric rodent reached the dragon, Charizard grasped Pikachu's sides and ended in a strong stalemate that made Trevor smirk and Ash grit his teeth. "Pika…" Pikachu grunted struggling to get out.
"Think Ash think... " Ash said to himself. "That's it! Use thunderbolt Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed while putting his hands out. Trevor flinched at this, but it was clear that Pikachu was weakened by the last battles since when Pikachu went to use the thunderbolt, Charizard did not feel very dazed. Ash gasped as he saw this and kept gritting his teeth.
"Throw him!" Trevor exclaimed.
"Gruaw!" Charizard exclaimed as he threw the rodent towards the direction of Ash.
"Now!" Trevor exclaimed with a pumped fist. "Use dragon claw!" Charizard took in his draconic green claws and propelled himself forward at great speed. With that he completely side swiped Pikachu in a strong hit that caused Pikachu to be propelled in front of Ash completely unable to battle.
"Pikachu!"
"Pika…" Pikachu grunted on the ground.
"Pikachu is unable to battle, Charizard wins!" the ref exclaimed as Charizard landed in front of Trevor with a fist curled next to him. At the same time Pikachu's face also darkened in the scoreboard which meant both trainers were down to their last pokemon.
"It is down, the terrorizing Pikachu that took down two pokemon has finally been defeated, but what will this mean for the match, does Trevor have a chance now?"
The crowd roared as Ash walked into the battlefield and grabbed Pikachu in both of his arms, "You did great buddy," Ash replied as he walked back to the trainer platform he was on. "Take a good rest, I have a great buddy that would like to take on this battle, so just leave it up to him and me." Ash then set Pikachu down to rest right next to him in the trainer platform at a safe distance away so that Ash could still move around in his trainer box.
At the stands:
"Pikachu lost…" Bonnie said as she slumped back in her seat.
"It's not over," Serena replied. "Ash has one more pokemon which I know will be able to take down Charizard."
"So, this battle will be up to someone other than Pikachu, I wonder who it will be," Shauna said as she looked down at the field.
"This is probably one of the most intense matches yet," Clemont said. "No doubt these two will give it their all."
Back at the battle:
Ash looked at this pokeball and put it in the front of his hand to show it off to Trevor. "I will be winning with this pokemon!" Ash then threw the pokeball and exclaimed. "Charizard I choose you!" The pokeball opened to show off a large draconic pokemon like the one that Trevor had, only that this time it had a large pendant on his neck with a blue stone which Trevor smirked to at the sight of.
"And Ash goes with his mega evolving Charizard! How will things go for this?! I can't wait!"
"I have been waiting to battle Charizard, Ash," Trevor said with a smile. "When I saw you mega evolving Charizard in the last battle, I knew my Charizard would enjoy a battle with you."
"Gruaw!" Ash's Charizard grunted as Ash looked ahead at Trevor's Charizard where there was a glistening object on his tail.
"So," Ash asked as he showed his keystone in front of his face. "I see your Charizard has a mega stone… And I see the camera too."
Trevor looked down with a genuine face and then raised it to meet Ash's gaze. "You will have to deserve this power!" Trevor then put his hand on his side and exclaimed: "Flamethrower!"
"Dodge it and follow up with thunder punch!" Ash retaliated.
"Roar!" Trevor's Charizard cried as he charged up a beam of flames on his mouth and fired it towards Ash's Charizard. Ash's Charizard patiently waited for the flamethrower to get close and when it was, he raised his wings and took flight. The flamethrower went under Ash's Charizard and crashed in front of Ash thus melting some of the rocks. Ash's Charizard then made himself a crackling yellow fist and flew at full speed towards Trevor's Charizard. Ash's Charizard then pulled back his crackling fist with the intent of hitting Trevor's Charizard with a powerful electric punch, but Trevor decided to fight back.
"Dragon claw!" Trevor's Charizard then summoned the green scaly claws and put them in front of his torso attempting to counter the thunder punch. Ash's Charizard reached close proximity and when the gap closed the two pokemon stayed in a stalemate where sparks flew from the collision. Both dragon types then went in front of their trainers with smiles knowing this battle would be hard. Trevor then showed off his camera and pushed the button where the camera trigger is. The camera trigger was a keystone though as prongs then fired out and began to connect with Charizard. "This is it Ash, take this… Mega evolve!"
"GGGrrrrrruuuuuuaaaaawwww!" Trevor's Charizard chanted as he began to glow white and transform. The wings behind the Charizard then became shaped in more sharp ways and Charizard gained two smaller wings at the lateral part of his arm along with a third horn on top of his head. Charizard then stopped glowing and revealed his orange coloring while roaring and throwing a flamethrower into the sky. "Roar!"
"Amazing! Trevor's Charizard has mega evolved! But wait, it looks different than when Ash did it, how could this be?"
The crowd began to cheer with intensity as they witnessed a Mega Charizard Y.
Ash then looked up and smiled as he saw the mega Charizard Y being his challenge. Ash then felt his skin getting warmer and from it he looked up to see the sunlight in the stadium becoming a lot brighter and powerful. "Drought…" Ash muttered as he shifted his gaze back to his Charizard. "Let's go in with caution Charizard!"
"Gruaw!" Ash's Charizard replied while pumping his fist.
Trevor then made the next move: "Use flamethrower!" His Charizard instantly fired off a large beam of flames that went straight for Ash's Charizard. From looking at the beam, Ash noticed that the flames were more powerful than any of the flames he had ever seen because of the sunlight.
"Use Flare blitz to protect yourself!" Ash exclaimed with a fist pump. Ash's Charizard then charged up a blue aura of fire around him and then when the flamethrower collided, it did minimal damage. Ash's Charizard then lost its blue aura and smirked as Ash reached for his keystone. "This side will get serious as well…" Ash then touched his keystone and the light began to resonate throughout the stadium. "Keystone, listen to my heart… beyond evolution… MEGA EVOLVE!"
"ROAR!" Ash's Charizard exclaimed as he began to glow white and the prongs connected. From there Ash's Charizard grew a fire around his head that represented Ash's scarf along with Charizard's shoulders becoming two crescent shaped pointed arches. Suddenly, the wings broke into more broken apart pairs and when the glowing stopped, a black and blue dragon was standing before a roaring crowd. The loudness was so intense that Ash felt his ears on fire.
"Amazing! The black and blue Charizard! This is a battle of megas already!"
Stands:
"So a Charizard mega evolution battle? Wow," Brock said as he was shaking with excitement on the back of his seat.
Tierno looked at the others who had shocked expressions, "You see? Trevor has been training really hard to get to the top. I am not surprised that Trevor could put Ash in this spot. But the fact that Ash has a mega evolution to counter it himself is really going to spice things up!"
"Go Ash! Go Charizard!" Bonne exclaimed while jumping out of her seat.
"I can't wait for this to start!" Shauna exclaimed while shoving Serena little bit to get her gaze to Shauna. "Serena, make sure you root for Ash!" Serena gave a wink at the last part and Serena sighed.
Serena then stood up from her seat and exclaimed: "GO ASH! GET THE WIN!"
Back at the Battle:
"This is going to be intense, Mega Charizard against Mega Charizard… Who will win?"
"Let's go first!" Trevor declared as he pumped his fist. "Use dragon claw!" Charizard Y then grew the green pairs of claws and attempted to intercept the other blue dragon that was right in front of Ash. The gap was closing and Ash knew he had to make a move in order to prevent a super effective hit.
"Use your dragon claw! Then light yourself up with flare blitz!" Ash exclaimed while pumping out his fist. Charizard X made larger green claws due to his ability and then closed the gap with the other Charizard. Both fire draconic pokemon stayed at a small stalemate until Charizard X began to surround himself in blue fire and the began to push through. Suddenly, Charizard X was able to push back Charizard Y who had retreated his claws back. "Now use thunderpunch!" Ash declared. Charizard X then lit his fist in electricity and flew towards Charizard Y who was still flying towards his trainer.
"Straighten your wings and dodge it!" Trevor exclaimed as he saw the potential danger. Charizard Y opens his eyes and then made his wings spread. After then, Charizard Y flew out of the way of the thunderpunch which caused Charizard X to look at the attack with shock in his eyes. "Now dragon claw!" Charizard Y then took down some green claws and downcut the Charizard X who then fell dazed on the ground in front of his trainer. Ash gritted his teeth as he saw this as his plan had completely failed. It was time that Ash found a counter attack, but how? "Use blast burn!" Trevor shouted as he put his hands towards the ground. Charizard Y did the same and from that a large burst of fire came from the ground and started encasing itself in the direction of Charizard X.
Ash gasped as he saw the attack that was incoming and said, "Charizard flare blitz!"
Charizard X ignited himself in fire with the expectation of attacking, but this was to defend obviously. As the attack closed the gap with Ash's Charizard, the large fiery explosion that occurred slightly harmed the target due to the strength of the heat in flare blitz. "Gruaw!" Charizard X shouted in pride as he gave a thumbs up to his trainer.
"Ash's unpredictability stuns the strategy that Trevor was attempting, what is the plan here?"
"Good job Charizard!" Ash praised as he saw Charizard Y still immobile. "Now hit it with flare blitz!" Charizard X glew in a blue aura of fire and flew towards Charizard Y.
"Dodge it!" Trevor shouted with a desperate voice. Unfortunately for him, Charizard Y was not able to move after it used blast burn. Charizard X then slammed into Charizard Y and a large explosion occurred as Charizard X went through and stared at Charizard Y with a staredown. Suddenly, Charizard X got enveloped in blue sparks and flinched a little before getting back his posture. Charizard Y though, he slowly stood up, but completely exhausted from the battle. Trevor though, he needed to get this done once and for all. "Charizard, finish this off by going for a dragon claw!"
"Gruaw!" Charizard Y shouted as he got his green scaly claws to come out and then Charizard Y flew over to Charizard X with extreme intention in finishing the battle.
"Wait for it…" Ash muttered to himself as he saw the possibility for a turn around, but it had to have the perfect timing. "Charizard reel it in!" Charizard X nodded at his trainer and waited for Charizard Y to get in range, and when that happened, Charizard X heard the command he needed to. "Grab Charizard!" Charizard X nodded and put his hands out and with that, the green scaly claws got completely blocked by the hands of the blue and black dragon. Then, the claws disappeared and Charizard Y flinched seeing he was completely trapped.
"Ash's Charizard trapped Trevor's Charizard! I have never seen such a defensive battle from Ash's part!"
Trevor flinched seeing that his Charizard was not able to move, "Get out Charizard!"
Ash just felt a small gust of wind consume the stadium and made his scarf lightly shake as he grabbed the front of his hat and exclaimed, "You defeated Noivern and Pikachu by grasping them and throwing them… Let's see if it works on my end too!" Ash then smiled and pumped his fist. "SEISMIC TOSS!"
"It seems that Ash's Charizard has grabbed ahold of Trevor's Charizard, what will happen here?"
Trevor watched in disbelief as Charizard X took off with Charizard Y in his arms to a high height. Everyone in the stadium was shocked as they looked up at the air to see the bright sun boosted by drought to gleam with the two draconic figures. Then, they all saw as the two Charizards came crashing down towards the earth. Charizard X at the last moment spun around and launched Charizard Y towards the ground at blinding speed.
As Charizard Y hit the summit of the mountain there was a large explosion of dust that then consumed the entire arena. The whole stadium went silent as they saw that it may have just been the finishing move. This was confirmed as when the dust cleared, the top of the mountain contained a regular Charizard.
The ref saw this and raised his hand, "Trevor's Charizard is unable to battle!"
Charizard X then landed in front of Ash with a large gust of wind that caused Ash's scarf to wave in a strong pridal position.
The ref then continued his declaration, "This means that Ash Ketchum from Lumiose City wins the battle!" At the same time, Trevor recalled his Charizard with a smile on his face. He was still satisfied with how he battled and overall, he really had fun. Ash's face then came on the scoreboard displaying that he won the battle and the stadium roared with cheers once more.
"Amazing! The winner is Ash Ketchum despite the overwhelming tactics that Trevor used!"
Stands:
"Oh man Trevor," Shauna gasped watching her friend fall to Ash's Charizard. Tierno agreed, but he clapped with a smile on his face because the battle was truly that amazing.
"It really was an amazing battle," Calem said as he looked at the stadium and Charizard X turn back to his regular form. "Maybe there is so much to look forward to this league."
"Truly a battle of power," Brock said. "I would have never thought that the boy from Pallet Town I knew would change to be this powerful."
"Ash WON HE WON!" Bonnie exclaimed as she stared back at the arena.
"I have to say, that battle was impressive," Clemont remarked. "I never would have seen it ending to one final move."
"Yea, but in the end, Ash did have the strongest bond and a good way to counter Trevor, it really was a deserved battle for him," Serena replied while grasping her ribbon. Inside she was fangirling with the fact that Ash won the battle and would move onto top 32 to face the next person he could.
Up at the stands where Hunter was, he was smiling while nudging Night, "Not bad, don't you think?"
Night shrugged his shoulders, "I want to see him challenge me at the Soul stadium, my Jolteon would love to battle that Charizard."
"Oh goodness me you two," Leaf replied with a slight facepalm.
Back down on the field:
"Ash that battle was amazing," Trevor said as he shook Ash's hand in the middle of the rocky field. "My run in the Kalos League may be over, but your isn't, so I will be rooting you you!"
"Pika pika!"
"Gruaw!"
Ash shook Trevor's hand back and replied with saying, "Yea, I hope to battle you again sometime, I had so much fun, right Charizard?"
"Gruaw!"
"And with this, the last battle of the day wraps up with a great deal of sportsmanship! What an amazing battle between two amazing competitors!"
A/N: Ok… I did not expect to top Ash vs Wulfric when it came to words, now I feel so bad for Greninja LOL! Sorry Greninja!
Anyways, this chapter was fun to write and I actually wrote this Chapter after I wrote Chapter 28 because I wanted to experiment my style for the Kalos League. It may have been a stupid idea, but hey! It worked and I did not expect my writing style for the league to look this good either. Anyways, I hope that you guys did enjoy episodes 28-34 even though I am writing them after this Chapter LOL!
Oh, you want some perspective as to when I wrote this Chapter? The friday before I updated CHAPTER 7. Yes, it may seem like I am talking about the future, but I actually am writing these very words a very long time ago… (I don't know how this works).
Anyways, I feel like the Pokemon company trying to make a lot of episodes ahead of time for the anime.
Also, guess Ash's next opponent? I already know who it will be, but I want you to guess who it is for fun… It won't be easy, I do know that.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this battle and remember to R & R and I will see you guys next time!
