In case you did not see the end of last time:

"BOOM!" Ash and Damian both covered their eyes to the large shockwave that shook their clothes and also flickered the lights and scoreboard of the stadium because of billowing electricity.

"Pikachu!" Ash shouted in panic as he felt his scarf waving in front of him. Damian stayed silent as he flinched a lot to the explosion in front of him. The stadium was cheering with a lot of excitement as the smoke began to clear. One look at the field made Ash throw his fist into the air with victory and pride. "YES!"

"PIKA!" Pikachu cried covered in nicks as he pumped his fist in front of Ash, obviously the electric mouse not being defeated.

Rob looked at Gigalith and once again gritted his teeth in frustration as he looked at the state of the rock type. "Gigalith is unable to battle," Rob said with an unamused tone. "Pikachu… wins!" Damian silently recalled his rock type because of this as he then clenched his fists in irritation.

"And it happened! Pikachu has come out victorious!"

With Professor Sycamore:

"Yes Ash!" Mairin cheered as she hugged Chespie. It was not expected that Pikachu would pull off such an amazing strategy to defeat such a colossal pokemon and Mairin began to feel a large admiration towards the raven haired trainer, who was celebrating with Pikachu.

Professor Sycamore smiled down at the battlefield as he saw this and sighed, "He got the lead again, impressive battling from his part."

At the stands:

Night smirked as he looked down at the field and then turned to Jolteon, "It does not get better than that, doesn't it?"

"Jolteon!"

Serena was out of her seat at this point with a pumped fist: "Alright Ash!" She shouted through the cheering crowd as she felt the sun light beam down on her face.

"That was impressive, I have to say that as an electric type specialist," Clemont admitted as he looked proud of his friend on the field.

At the battlefield:

"Your win streak ends here, Ash," Damian said with a very serious tone. "GO BLASTOISE!"

Damian threw the pokeball into the air, which then opened to a flashing light that then exposed a large blue turtle with a brown shell that had two water shooters on either side, who also had a mega stone on his left hand.

"And Damian has now revealed the last pokemon of his team next to Hydreigon! It is a powerful looking Blastoise!"

Ash smirked at this as he looked at Pikachu and nodded and pumped a fist in front of him, "Pikachu and I will then have to show you how it's done!" Ash then put his hand out with gleaming auburn eyes: "Use thunderbolt!"

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he ran forward a little and then hopped into the air with crackling electricity while making a back flip to then shoot electricity with determined and gleaming eyes towards the large turtle through the sand. "PIKA… CHUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

The scene then freezes with Ash and Damian opposing each other, Blastoise and Hydreigon with Damian as Pikachu, Noivern, and Charizard were with Ash. The climax is right around the corner!

A/N: Ok, this is a very awaited chapter as it finally concludes this three part battle!

I know that making these battles this long make them very interesting and it is really fun to write them!

I am sure that this chapter will also be a fun one to write as it will be emotional and a way to develop all the characters that will be portrayed for the league.

Will Ash be able to pull off this win against Damian after being able to overcome most of the pokemon on his team? We will just have to find out, we are starting with Pikachu against Blastoise, the water type has a mega stone and it is sure not going to go down very easily. I still believe in Pikachu! Let's go guys, let's cheer on for Ash to finally defeat the bully and stand up for himself and his friends!

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this last chapter (or not enjoy, we will see what the outcome says to your enjoyment)!

Chapter 45- A decisive battle! Ash vs Damian's Climax!

At the stands:

"A Blastoise?" Tierno asked with a surprised tone as he watched the large turtle emerge from his pokeball to be in front of Ash. "Wait, is that a mega stone on his arm?"

"It is! That is what we have to worry about as well!" Brock concluded as he looked at Ash and Pikachu. "I hope that Pikachu will be able to weaken him too."

"I believe in Pikachu!" Bonnie shouted as she got out from her seat to pump her fist towards the arena that was cheering massively for the battle that was going on. Everyone watched as Ash called out for a thunderbolt with his hand out and then witnessed how Pikachu began to walk through the sand to then jump into the air.

At the battlefield:

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he ran forward a little and then hopped into the air with crackling electricity while making a back flip to then shoot electricity with determined and gleaming eyes towards the large turtle through the sand. "PIKA… CHUUUUUUUUUUUU!" The bolt of electricity streaked through the sand and zigzagged the ground even frying one of the cactus before heading straight for Blastoise.

"Blastoise use rapid spin!" Damian countered. The large turtle made a battlecry and then retracted himself to his shell. The raven haired trainer flinched as he saw how the water type then began to spin and effectively manage with the thunderbolt that was being headed at him. Blastoise then kept spinning towards a very shocked Pikachu that was standing helplessly in the middle of the field. The large pokemon then slammed into Pikachu, which caused him to be pushed back and launched in front of Ash.

"Pika..." Pikachu grunted as he got to his knees and looked up with a very dazed expression on his face. "Pika pika!" Pikachu exclaimed as he got back on all fours with a very confident pose.

"Pikachu is not giving up! This is truly a battle of endurance!"

"Are you alright Pikachu?" Ash asked as he called out to the electric pokemon in front of him. Pikachu nodded which made the entire stadium cheer because of how sturdy Pikachu was being for this battle. Ash smirked at this as he put a fist out in front of him, "Alright then! Pikachu use quick attack!"

"Pika!" Pikachu roared as he made his body have a white gleam around it. "Pika pika pika pika pika pika pika!" Pikachu shouted as he ran across the sand with an attempt to knock down the water type. Midway across the entire arena though, Damian made his hand go up into the air as he made his own Blastoise make a move that surprised Ash as well.

"Water pulse!"

"TOISE!" Blastoise shouted as he formed a blue ball of water above his head which was powered by his two canons. This ball of energy then shot out towards Pikachu, who's eyes widened as the attack approached with the gleam of the attack approaching.

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted in pain as he was blasted into the air with the spherical water type move.

Ash gasped at this but gritted his teeth as he then put a fist in a forty five degree angle into the sky: "Use thunderbolt!" Pikachu did not back down as he made the same battle cry he always does and made the bolt of electricity streak through the air once again and slam into Blastoise because of a surprise attack. Damian flinched as he saw this because this meant that they were now vulnerable to an attack. "Now Pikachu, keep going and use quick attack once again!"

"Not going to happen!" Damian shouted as he saw Pikachu zoom out like a speeding bullet and Blastoise got up. Noticing that there were some shards of glass due to the electric moves striking the sand, the blue haired trainer decided to go for the same tactic that Ash had used before. With gleaming eyes, Damian put his hand out and shouted: "Throw the shards at Pikachu!"

"TOISE!" Blastoise cried as he swept his arms through the ground and scooped up the loose shards. "BLASTOISE!" Blastoise shouted as he launched the crystals towards Pikachu.

Ash smirked at this as he closed his eyes with a look towards the ground before then rubbing under his nose and looking back up at Damian, "So you are the one that is using my tactics now, aren't you?" Ash then pumped his fist, "Pikachu hit them back with iron tail!" Pikachu made his tail glow white and he swung it around to then launch the attacks back at Blastoise. At this Damian flinched again knowing that his water type had just been hit by another attack without knowing how to respond, this frustrated the trainer with the mega stone on his sunglasses so much as he was not expecting Ash to have become good enough to rival his own power. Ash then pumped his left fist in front of his face and smiled as he then took his other fist and threw it forward: "Keep going and strike Blastoise with a powerful thunderbolt again!"

"Pika…. CHUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he launched the electric attack that had a lot of branches of electricity arching with the beam.

Damian gritted his teeth as he then pumped his fist, "Use ice beam!" Blastoise looked up and this time used his cannons to thoroughly shoot a freezing beam towards the electric beam. The two attacks collided and then caused a cloud of smoke to appear in the top of the field from which Pikachu landed in front of Ash. "Cool him down with another ice beam!"

"TOISE!" Blastoise shouted as he charged up another blue beam that then streaked forward and hit the electric mouse head on.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu squealed in pain as he got hit backwards.

"Oh no! And Pikachu has gotten hit by two ice beams in a row! Is this it for the valiant mouse?"

"Pikachu NO!" Ash shouted in panic as he watched Pikachu on the ground get back up to his knees, but then stand up weakly with a lot of nicks around his body. "Pikachu, do not give up, use iron tail!" Pikachu got up and made his tail glow white before he then shot upwards into the air and then swung down towards Blastoise who was standing with narrowed eyes in front of Damian. The electric mouse was about to strike the water type, but then Damian made a move that Ash could not believe that he had fallen for the trap.

"Rapid spin!" Blastoise began to spin as Pikachu down cut on him. Ash clenched his fists as he saw this in worry as the water type made the electric type get caught on his shell. "Now release him!" Damian commanded while putting his hand out. At this the turtle spun around with enough power to then swing around the mouse get launched into the air. Ash had his mouth agape as he saw this and then witnessed how the blue haired trainer stood in a victory pose to pump both of his fists: "Finish him dragon pulse!" Blastoise made this two canons then merge power as he then launched the beam shaped like a dragon towards Pikachu. The beam closed in on the electric mouse and a closeup of Pikachu's eye portrayed the incoming beam roaring towards him. "ROAR!" The dragon pulse then cried as there was a large explosion in the middle of the air that followed with a shockwave that made Ash's scarf wave.

"Pikachu no!" Ash shouted with worry as he then noticed his electric type land on the ground with a dazed expression and completely unconscious.

"Pika…" Pikachu grunted as Rob put his hand in the air.

"Pikachu is unable to battle, Blastoise wins!" Rob declared as the crowd roared.

"And we are now in a two against two situation! This battle will not be over, until it is truly over!"

Ash walked onto the sand and came up to his Pikachu who was on the ground. "Pikachu, are you alright?" Ash asked as he cradled the small mouse in his arms. The electric type slowly opened his eyes and nodded thus indicating to the Kanto native that he was completely fine. "Thank you Pikachu, you were amazing," Ash said as he then looked back up towards Damian and Rob.

"So, only the two most pathetic pokemon left on your team, aren't they?" Damian taunted as Ash attempted to ignore the fact that his opponent called his pokemon trash once again. Ash then turned around and began to walk into the trainer's platform which had some sand blown onto it, but other than that was clean. Ash then set Pikachu down on the other side of the trainer's platform so that he would be protected from any attacks that could affect the raven haired trainer himself.

At the stands:

"Poor Pikachu," Serena sighed as she grabbed her ribbon. "Come on Ash, do your best and beat him!"

"I think Pikachu may have weakened Blastoise a lot, but I still feel like Ash can't relax because of how much his pokemon have battled," Clemont replied as he looked towards Serena. "Serena, didn't you say that Hydreigon was a pokemon that Ash had not been able to defeat yet?"

"The fact is, Ash only had one other battle with Damian after they crossed paths again," Serena then sighed. "Ash challenged him to a battle and Hydreigon, then a Zweilous, was the only pokemon he battled, and no Ash did not get to defeat him either," Serena clenched her fists as a side view of her face showed her sparkling blue eyes and the waving honey blonde hair. "It would be amazing for Ash if he defeats him, and I know that he can."

"He has to be careful though, both of Ash's pokemon are dragon types at their full potential, Charizard when mega evolved," Calem replied as he narrowed his eyes. "At the same time, keep in mind that Damian's pokemon know dragon type moves and Blastoise even knows ice beam. Those moves are potentially catastrophic against Ash's remaining pokemon."

Everyone nodded at this knowing that Ash still had a major disadvantage to the typing, but there was clearly some hope that the raven haired trainer would pull this battle back his way!

At the battlefield (Ash POV):

I look at Damian and notice he might be sticking with Blastoise to keep battling. At this I pull out a pokeball from my belt and bob it in my hand. As if knowing who I was about to choose, Damian pulled out a pokeball and recalled Blastoise back into his red and white sphere. Instinctively, I put the pokeball that was in my hand back in my belt and grabbed the other to notice that it was starting to shake as well. Yup, I am using this guy.

"Go Hydreigon!" I hear as I see the dark and dragon type pseudo legendary appear in front of me with a large roar that pierced through the entire stadium. I did not flinch as I heard the stands cheer for the battle to occur, but I showed the pokeball in front of me as I was beginning to throw it.

"Hydreigon is back into the battlefield, who will Ash use this time to face it?"

"Noivern, I choose you!" I exclaim as I then followed through my throw to make a flashing light appear in front of me. The sound wave dragon I had raised from an egg landed right in front of me with a powerful roar that made me smirk. I notice as the two dragons that are in front of each other growl at one another with determination in their eyes. I could see how Hydreigon had taken some damage from his battle with Goodra as there were some small nicks around his body, at the same time Noivern had some markings as well because of the ice type moves that Weavile had done to him. Despite this, I saw how Rob initiated the battle, so I went for the first attack with a fist in front of my face: "Noivern confuse it with supersonic!"

"Noi… VEEERRRRNNN!" I hear as the sound wave dragon makes his ears shoot a sound based move that made Hydreigon sink to the ground with pain. I then noticed how Hydreigon began to get back up and roar as soon as the attack cut out, which made me smirk knowing the after effects of that move.

"Hydreigon use brutal swing!" I saw how Hydreigon made his limbs glow with dark colors, but instead of striking Noivern, he hit the sand below him and began to go for the cacti. I watched with amusement as Hydreigon hurt himself in the thorned plants and Damian was looking at the dark and dragon type like he was crazy.

"Noivern's supersonic completely confuses Hydreigon! Amazing trickery by Ash!"

"Noivern, use boomburst!" I shout as I see my opportunity. Noivern makes a battle cry as his ears begin to glow white and then expelled a very loud sound wave move that his Hydreigon head on. The attack made an explosion surround the hydra before he got back up and shook his head. "So, I think he may have snapped out of it," I muttered to myself as I pump my fist. "Noivern, let's be careful!"

"Vern!" Noivern replied as I watched Damian put his fist out.

"Hydreigon, use dragon rush and go into the sky!"

"GGGOOONNN!" Hydreigon shouted as he made himself glow in a large blue glow and then leapt into the air.

I followed the figure of Hydreigon and look at my dragon, "Noivern, take flight and follow him with sky attack!" Noivern nods and flaps his wings as he then takes to the skies. I watch as Noivern flies to the opposite side of Hydreigon and then begins to make himself glow in gold celestial energy which made me clench my teeth in nerves. It was clear that Noivern could handle it, I believed in him.

"Clash!" I heard as I looked up to see the two pokemon collide head on to make a large explosion. As I see this, I notice that I have to take advantage of the fact that I am now in control of the smoke because this is something that Noivern can do. "Noivern use supersonic!" I heard a large cry of my dragon overpower even the sound of the stands as I then see the hydra begin to fall to the ground.

"Hydreigon is falling! What can Damian do now to prevent getting hit more devastatingly!"

"Straighten yourself!" Damian shouts, I hear a small amount of frustration in his voice as I then notice that Hydreigon had gotten himself back up and straight to be in position to strike again. "Now charge up a dragon pulse!"

"Dreigon…" Hydreigon muttered as I see him charge up the color shaped beam with his three heads.

I see that this is my opportunity since nobody knows from where Noivern will strike so I put my fist out, "Go in with sky attack!"

"VERN!" I hear Noivern shout as I then see a gold aura of power emerge from the smoke in the direction of Hydreigon.

"Hydreigon, let it go!" I hear Damian shout in frustration as Hydreigon begins to let go of the beam only for Noivern to dodge it at the last second and then smash himself into the back of Hydreigon thus sending the dark and dragon type to the ground. "Where did he go?" Damian asked in surprise as he looked up to then see Noivern flying back into the smoke that was beginning to clear. "Argh! Hydreigon use tri attack!" I see as Hydreigon begins to charge up his attack and then launched the three elemental beams into the smoke.

"After using the smoke to his advantage, Noivern is now in the air, but the incoming tri attack from Hydreigon is bound to be powerful!"

"Dodge it!" I shout as I put my hand out to the side. As soon as I say this, I watch as Noivern emerges from the smoke and begins to encircle around Hydreigon, who was levitating as well. Hydreigon then began to point all three heads in different directions while trying to his Noivern, I see as my dragon avoids the electric and fire beam, only for him to be hit by the ice beam, the one I was trying to avoid the most. "Noivern no!" I shout as I see Noivern fall to the ground with an ice covering. "Oh no! Noivern!" I shout noticing that the sound wave dragon was completely covered in ice, from ears toe. (Anatomy of a Noivern)

"Uh oh, Noivern has been completely frozen over by the ice attack that comes with tri attack!"

At the stands:

"Ahhh!" Everyone flinched as they saw Noivern emerge completely coated in ice like a popsicle.

"Noivern is in big trouble, he does not have any way to burn off the ice," Brock said with gritted teeth as he took a closer look at the battlefield to hear Ash through the speaker system trying to call out to Noivern.

"This is bad, if Noivern does not get out of the ice, then this is it for him, if only there was a way to break him out," Shauna replied as she had a worried face.

"Sound waves," Serena muttered to herself. Looking at Noivern, it seemed possible, but it was very risky. "If anyone is to take risks, it is Ash," Serena told herself in an effort to keep herself calm.

"Come on Ash!" Bonnie exclaimed as she jumped out of her seat to shout out towards her friend.

Night looked at the battle with narrowed eyes, "This does not look like a good situation for Ash. I wonder if he can get out of it." Night then sighed as he looked up to the field and saw as Decidueye kept his ground while looking down. "Alright, this battle will end soon, so that means I have to get into position soon."

With Professor Sycamore:

"This looks bad for Noivern, there certainly barely any way that Ash could come back from this," Professor Sycamore said to a Mairin that was looking sadly towards Ash.

Mairin hugged Chespie and whispered to herself the following words: "Come on Noivern, win this for Ash."

At the battlefield:

"Noivern come on!"

"Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted from Ash's side after having recovered from his last battle and feeling better. Ash took a glimpse of the scoreboard to see how he was doing, fair enough, it was very much a draw at this point:

Ash: Pikachu Goodra Greninja Sceptile Charizard Noivern

Damian: Gigalith Weavile Metagross Darmanitan Blastoise Hydreigon

"So, have you given up?" Damian asked with a very amused expression as he looked at the Kanto Native.

"You can forfeit if you want," Rob said as he looked at Ash with an amused expression as well. The crowd began to murmur as the raven haired trainer then shadowed his eyes in his cap.

"Give up?" Ash asked himself as he then looked up and put his hand out, "That is not what my team and I are about! We will never give up until the very last fight!" Ash then turned to the large piece of ice that contained his sound wave dragon and then cuffed his hands: "Noivern, come on! I know you can hear me!"

"Ugh, useless," Damian interjected as he then put his hand out: "Finish this battle by using dragon rush!"

"GON!" Hydreigon shouted as he began to make a blue glow that then began to rush towards the ice. "HYDRA!" The large brutal pokemon cried as he made a trail of sand shoot out behind him as he flew through the arena.

"Hydreigon is coming in with a dragon rush! What can Ash do now?"

A bright gleam from the sun above then pierced Ash's eye and made his pump both of his fists to both sides, "Noivern, if you can hear me, use boomburst and shatter that ice!" At first nothing happened, but then the ice began to crack and get less transparent. "Don't give up!" Hydreigon was just about to hit the ice when suddenly the entire side of the battlefield near Ash had a large explosion that made the raven haired trainer and his electric mouse look away. Seeing this, Ash knew exactly what had happened as when the smoke cleared, all that was seen was a dumbfounded Hydreigon looking in all directions. Looking up, Ash then saw what he wanted to see:

"Noi… VERN!" Noivern shouted as he then made his ears glow and shot a bright tornadic beam of sound waves that slammed into the top of Hydreigon's head, which then caused the hydra to be hit down towards the ground and kick up sand.

"Noivern is out of the ice! After using the powerful sound waves, Ash managed to get the ice to shatter and thus escape the attack!"

"What? No way!" Damian stated in shock as he looked at his Hydreigon on the ground. "Hydreigon get up now!"

"Dreigon…." Hydreigon struggled to get back up which made the blue haired trainer look shocked.

Ash chuckled a little as he threw his fist out in front of him, causing his keystone to gleam in the light. The raven haired trainer then threw his hands out in both directions and with a victorious pose said: "So Damian, how do you like Noivern now?" Damian gritted his teeth at this as Ash then craned his arm downwards to then put his palm facing towards the field and then formed a fist, which he threw to his side: "Use hurricane!"

"Noi…." Noivern shouted as he flapped his wings to then begin to spin in the air above Hydreigon. "VVVVVVEEEEERRRRRNNNNNN!" Noivern cried as the wind picked up in a tornadic fashion throughout the entire battlefield. The stands roared as Ash then adjusted his cap with his scarf shaking to the amount of breeze that was going through him. Hydreigon fell to the ground and used his head-like hands to try and stay anchored to the ground. Damian seemed to be completely speechless as the wind based move caused him to cover himself in an attempt to avoid getting carried away by the wind.

"What a powerful attack! Will Hydreigon be able to withstand it?"

"HYDRAAA!" Hydreigon shouted as he gave one last effort to hold himself still, but what ended up happening was fatal to the brutal pokemon. "Dreigon…" Hydreigon grunted as he lost his grip to the ground and began to get picked up along with all of the sand on the ground. Ash smirked as he saw this, because it meant that the three headed dragon type was seemingly getting weaker and weaker.

"And it can't. Hydreigon has been sent flying into the raging winds!"

The stands kept egging on the battle as they saw Hydreigon getting blown in circles that Noivern was overlooking, the sound wave dragon seemingly smiling towards his attack. "Come on Hydreigon!" Damian shouted with a desperate tone, something Ash guiltily found satisfying.

"Stop the attack," Ash commanded as he looked up towards the sound wave dragon. The wind instantly calmed down as everyone gasped to see the brutal pokemon begin to fall to the ground helplessly with smoke coming from his corrupted wings. Ash looked closely at Hydreigon and narrowed his eyes. "Damian, take this as payback from last time!" Ash then pumped both of his fists. "ONVERN! CONTO BANO!"

"Noi…." The large eared dragon cried as he made a gold aura of energy surround him. Noivern then dived down towards the three headed pokemon with a lot of power and speed, something that Ash could not have been more proud of. "VVVEERRRRRNN!" Noivern cried as a dark scene portrayed Noivern swiping past Hydreigon in slow motion while a gold trail followed the sound waved dragon.

"Hydreigon NO!" Damian panicked as he saw his pokemon crash into the ground and get back up to his knees, only to stagger and collapse again.

At the same time, Noivern landed in front of Ash, who was sporting a victorious pose with his fists at his sides and a smile on his face. "VVVEEEERRRNNN!" Noivern cried once again as he witnessed the crowd erupt to cheers and Ash pumped his fist behind him.

"H-Hydreigon is unable to battle, Noivern wins!" Rob declared while stuttering. His clothes were shaken up, and to make things worse, he was beginning to lose hope on his plan to defeat Ash by rigging the mechanics of the battle.

"And it happened! Hydreigon has finally been defeated! This quarter final match is at its climax everyone!"

At the stands:

"YES Ash!" Serena shouted as she stood up from her seat.

"That was amazing!" Brock replied as he looked down at the field and looked at the others. "Noivern truly showed us why he was so eager to battle!"

"It was a victory that Noivern could not have done without the support of his teammates that is for sure," Shauna chuckled as she looked at the field. "Only that Blastoise to go and this will be it!"

"That Blastoise looks very powerful, if you ask me, I think that the mega evolution can still rival Charizard and Noivern," Clemont said with a very serious tone. "I still think Ash has to be careful if he wants to win this battle." Everyone turned to the lemon blonde inventor at that moment: "Blastoise can mega evolve, and if there is something that is dangerous is the ice beam and the type advantage that he has over Charizard."

"Clemont is right, Ash still needs to battle hard if he wants to win this battle," Calem said as he looked at Ash, who was seemingly talking to Noivern with a smile on his face. 'Ash, I don't want to make a strategy against Damian, please just win this battle for us so that we can have an amazing battle later on, the semi finals or the finals, it does not matter which round,' Calem thought as he watched Ash nod at Noivern and send the dragon back to the sand.

At the battlefield:

"Noivern, let's give Blastoise a run for its money and win this battle right here and now!" Ash exclaimed as he pumped his fist.

"I wouldn't count on it," Damian retaliated as he threw the pokeball into the field: "Let's defeat these last two pokemon Blastoise!"

"TOISEEEEEE!" Blastoise shouted with an ear chilling cry as he emerged from the pokeball and stood in front of Ash with a very menacing look. The raven haired trainer narrowed his shining auburn eyes to then notice that the arena was egging on cheering towards his name. At this, the Kanto native looked around and noticed the many people seated on the stands which were cheering him on: At least three levels around the hexagon in an extremely large shape. Ash looked forward to see how the water type was eyeing the sound wave dragon and then noticed how the mega stone was glistening in the hand of the starter from the Kanto region.

"It has come down to Blastoise against Noivern! Is this going to be the end of the road for Damian, or will he be able to pull a comeback and take down Ash's two remaining pokemon?"

Ash heard the crowd seem to boo at the last option for the outcome which made him chuckle a little, "Alright then, Noivern, let's focus all of our power into this battle!" Noivern nodded and then made a battle cry that made Ash smirk and pump his fists in front of his face, "Noivern, let's start this off with sky attack!" Noivern flew into the air and then made himself glow a gold celestial aura before then charging Blastoise, who was standing into the ground with his feet inside the sand.

"Use rapid spin!" Damian ordered with his hand out. The water type retracted into his shell before then beginning to spin like a top to then shoot out towards the sound wave dragon. The gap closed between the two pokemon which then caused a very large shockwave in the middle of the stadium. The two pokemon then retracted with Noivern going into the air and staying there while Blastoise ended up in front of the blue haired trainer with a large thud. "He won't get away, use dragon pulse!"

"Counter it with boomburst!"

"TOISE!"

"VERN!"

"ROAR!" The dragon pulse shot out in the shape of a dragon while the tornadic transparent beam shot out the ears of the black flying type. The two attacks then collided and interacted with each other before they then caused an explosion in the middle of the field. Both pokemon made separate grunts as they fell in front of their trainers.

"What a collision between boomburst and dragon pulse!"

"Attack continuously," Damian shouted as he pointed forward. "Attack him with rapid spin again!" Blastoise shot out towards Noivern, who was still getting up, and began spinning like a top at a velocity that even Ash could not believe.

"Noivern you have to dodge it!" Ash shouted as he looked at the air. "Get up and get airborne!" Noivern struggled to get up, but then did so as he kicked off from the sand and flapped his wings as the water dragon came under him. "Now attack him with supersonic!"

"Noi… VEEEERRRNN!" Noivern shouted as he pulled back his wings to then shoot a barrage of sound waves that caused the large turtle to stop and cover his ears.

Damian gritted his teeth as he saw this and then looked back up towards Noivern and though of an idea that might just work: "Blastoise use dragon pulse straight up!" Blastoise charged up his attack with the two canons and then fired off the colorful beam towards Noivern that went through the sound waves. Ash saw this and ordered for a dodge, something that the blue haired trainer saw coming. Noivern easily maneuvered around the colorful beam to then get surprised at the next move that Damina made: "Use ice beam!"

"Noivern get out of there!" Ash shouted, but it was too late as Noivern was struck right in the wing which made the black dragon begin to fall to the ground. "Noivern no!" Ash shouted with a very surprised tone as he then saw his dragon fall in front of him while picking up the sand. "Noivern!"

"Noivern is hit with a super effective ice beam! Is this it for the dragon type?"

"Pika!" Pikachu gasped with a shocked expression as he watched Noivern struggle to get back up.

The blue haired trainer then threw a fist in front of himself as he then commanded his next attack, "Water pulse!"

"Blas…. TOISE!"

"Noi?" Noivern asked in awe as he watch the blue spherical attack coming closer and closer. Noivern then sank closer to the ground in pain as the attack the collided with him head on which caused an explosion around him. The sand picked up and within a second, the smoke and sand particles were gone which left the sound wave dragon on the ground unconscious. "Vern…"

"Pika!"

"Noivern no!" Ash shouted in panic as he saw this.

"Noivern is unable to battle, Blastoise wins!" Rob declared with a smirk as he kept his view on the fist pumping Damian who was behind a Blastoise that was looking ahead with a very powerful look.

"Noivern is now out of the picture! Ash is only down to Charizard now!"

The crowd made silent murmurs, but Ash slowly got onto the field and checked on his sound wave dragon, "Noivern are you alright?" Ash asked as he got closer to Noivern.

"Noivern," Noivern said as he looked back up towards Ash with a smile. "Noi Noivern," Noivern said as he then nodded. Ash knew what this meant, Noivern wanted him to win this battle for his pokemon and friends.

Ash smiled and patted the head of the sound wave dragon, "You are right, I am so proud of you." Ash then pulled out a pokeball and recalled Noivern back to his pokeball. "Take a good rest, you are going to need it for our next battle." Ash then smiled as he got back up to his feet and walked back to where Pikachu was sitting. The Kanto native did not even waste time as he grabbed the last pokeball from his belt and smirked. "This is it," Ash said as he put Charizard's pokeball right in front of him to then throw it while following through into the field, "Charizard I choose you!"

The pokeball burst open and into a light that then materialized into the fire and flying type that had a pendant collar with a blue stone on it. "Gruaw!" Charizard shouted as he landed in the sand and roared into the sky while igniting himself on fire. Ash noticed the flame on Charizard's tail had grown to be large, it was definitely something that I would call powerful. "Gruaw," Charizard said as he looked back at Ash.

"So now it is Charizard against Blastoise! A classic all time matchup of fire against water back in the Kanto region for many battles! I am sure this one will be extra special!"

"Alright Charizard, let's show Damian just how strong you have become when you went on a journey with me," Ash said as he smiled. Charizard smirked himself as he looked over at Damian and Blastoise to then narrow his eyes before roaring again. Ash took a look at the scoreboard to see how things were going, and sure enough, it was a very close battle at this point:

Ash: Noivern Pikachu Goodra Greninja Sceptile Charizard

Damian: Hydreigon Gigalith Weavile Metagross Darmanitan Blastoise

"Charizard, use dragon claw!" Ash shouted as he looked forward and swiped his open hand in front of himself. Charizard made a battle cry as he leaped into the air and made his claws glow green and scaly before then flying straight for the water type who was in front of him, a trail of sand kicking up as he traveled through the battlefield.

Damian gritted his teeth as he then pointed forward, "Not so fast, water pulse!" Blastoise made the ball form with his two cannons and then in slow motion the two pokemon closed the gap between each other as Blastoise fired the sphere at the green claws that Charizard had in his hands. The attacks collided and consumed everything in smoke which then caused the two Kanto starters to land in front of their trainers and make a battle cry as they stood at a staredown. "Now look upwards and use ice beam!"

"Dodge it!" Ash exclaimed as he punched the air in front of him. Charizard flew around the freezing bolt of ice and then dove towards the ground to be flying towards Blastoise. "Use thunderpunch!" Ash then shouted as he spread his arms out to his sides while the sun gleamed in his eyes.

"Gruaw!" Charizard shouted as he made his fist begin to glow with yellow sparking electricity that was arcing in the air around the limb.

Damian saw the super effective attack and then pumped his fist forward, "Rapid spin! Don't let him get too close to you!" The water turtle retracted once again into his shell to then begin to spin in the direction of the fire type, who was sporting the strong super effective electric type attack. As soon as the two attacks collided, Charizard and Blastoise strained for a while making battle cries, until they both then fell back in front of their trainers.

"This battle is truly amazing! I am at the edge of my seat!"

At the stands:

"This is it," Tierno said as he looked at the Blastoise and then shifted his eyes towards the Charizard. "I don't know if Trevor and I would even be able to make such a powerful battle ourselves if we battled with our starters."

"I agree," Trevor said. "Ash's Charizard has proved to being extremely powerful." The orange haired trainer then narrowed his eyes. "The fact that Ash's Charizard is primarily a close ranged attacker will make things seemingly more difficult for him since Damian can attack at a distance."

Brock noticed this ideology and then came up with his own theory, "But what if Ash is able to come up with a strategy of attacking at close range? Maybe that will be the best way for him to win the entire battle."

"Go ASH!" Bonnie shouted as she stood up from her seat.

Dedenne, who was on the lemon girl's head also made a cry himself as Squishy, who was now looking from Bonnie's opening, looked at the battle with a very amused look on his face.

"Ash, you can do this," Serena muttered to herself as she looked at the field to then look around and hear the loud cheers from the spectators of the hexagonal stadium.

"The climax is here," Night said as he narrowed his eyes to see the staredown between Ash and Damian. "Jolteon," The blue attired trainer said as he looked at his partner. "We need to get closer to the battlefield, let's go to one of the dugouts and wait."

"Jol!" Jolteon replied as the two began to get on the move, the trainer sharing a glance with the hooded owl that was overlooking the battle from the roof.

At the battlefield:

Damian looked at Ash and smirked, "You know, maybe I need to show you just how powerful I can be." Ash cocked his eyebrow and Charizard also gave a confused growl as they both then went wide eyed in realization of what Damian was doing as he reached for his sun glasses. "Blastoise!" Damian shouted as he touched the key stone and a bright flashing light began to occur. The prongs on Blastoise's mega stone also began to appear as the water type got enclosed in a bright light. "Mega evolve!"

"TTOOOIIIISSSEEE!" Blastoise shouted as his body began to grow larger and larger, the canons on the top of his shell merged into one big one and his arms developed their own two canons. "BLAST!" Blastoise finished as he spread his arms out to then flex them to the power he had gained, this caused the flashing light to be replaced with the normal colors of the species, "BLASTOISE!" Blastoise called out as the DNA symbol for mega evolution appeared in front of him to then disappear into thin air.

"Damian has mega evolved his Blastoise! This is bound to get interesting very fast!"

Nightcore- Any Other Way

Ash saw this and looked up with a smirk as he then had the glove with the keystone come up to be next to his face. "We will respond with our true power," Ash said as he narrowed his eyes and touched the keystone. "Keystone, listen to my heart," The raven haired trainer chanted as he felt the prongs from the stone shoot out towards Charizard's pendant, who also had his prongs coming out. "Beyond evolution! Mega evolve!"

"Grrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaawwwww!" Charizard roared as he began to glow just like Blastoise. Claws growing, shoulders becoming pointed, Charizard roared as the side of his face developped fire that raged in a way that resembled the scarf that Ash had on. "ROAR!" Charizard roared as the glow disappeared to reveal his new black and blue body that then also portrayed the mega evolution DNA symbol in front of him before it disappeared into thin air.

"There is that blue mega Charizard! How will this battle play out? This is the climax everyone!"

Drums kick in I am wide awake, and I'm standing tall!

"Use dragon claw!" Ash shouted as he shook his open hand in front of him into a fist. Charizard did not even back down as he jumped into the air and made his claws glow green before flying in the direction of the Blastoise, who spread his legs apart ready to battle.

Up against the world, up against the wall!

Damian put his fist into the air and shouted his next attack as well, "Use dragon pulse!" Blastoise did not even waste time as he put his arms forward and made all three of his canons begin to glow. The top one made a blue beam, while the right one of the hand made a red beam which in contrast to the one opposite of that was purple. The three beams merged and formed the trademark colorful dragon shape that threatened to consume Charizard.

"GRUAW!" The fire type roared as he went into the mouth of the dragon. Between the love and hate, they can hardly wait, to watch the hero fall… Charizard begins to fall in pain from the attack as Ash gritted his teeth.

Ash narrowed his eyes as he pumped his fist in front of himself, "you can give me hell, you can give me death, break before I bend I will have revenge. Charizard keep going and don't stop with flare blitz!"

Fire through my veins, I will fan the flames, until my dying breath… Charizard ignited himself in a blue aura of fire and began to charge towards Blastoise. Guitar kicks in 'Cause I will never go down, any other way!

"Blastoise, rapid spin!" Damian retaliated as he saw the attack.

"Toise!" Blastoise shouted as he began to spin while shooting out towards the flying fire dragon that was burning a blaze. "BLASTOISE!" Blastoise shouted as he then caught himself in a stalemate with Charizard that sent a shockwave rippling through the entire arena. Cheers roared while Ash and Damian recoiled from the clash of the attack which ended in the raven haired trainer's scarf shaking madly.

I will never go down, any other way!

The attack then ended as Blastoise retracted back to be in front of Damian as a mirage image of Ash pumped his fist seeing an opening, "Use thunder punch!" Charizard made his glowing electric fist and then flew to surprise the blue haired trainer and the water type by slamming the fist into the abdomen of the turtle in an uppercut motion, which caused the Blastoise to be propelled into the air. Ash then saw this as an opportunity to keep attacking, "Now go in with your dragon claw!"

"Gruaw!" Charizard shouted as he spread his arms out and then formed a pair of large green claws, boosted by the tough claws ability.

"Don't let him Blastoise, use ice beam and aim for the wings!" Blastoise got to work and instantly shot the beam of ice through his largest canon, which then followed a zigzag around the ground and then formed ice crystals on Charizard's wings just as he lept into the air. The fire type tried to fly, but then fell on his abdomen towards the sand and grunted in pain as he tried to get back up.

"Fly and melt that ice with flare blitz!" Ash shouted as the sun sparkled his eyes and then showed how how Charizard began to glow on fire to then portray that the ice on his wings began to melt as if it was nothing. Gasoline pumping through my veins! Dancing on top of the flames! "Now use the fire to climb and strike Blastoise!"

"I won't let you," Damian exclaimed as he then put a fist into the air, "Spin and shoot water pulses around!"

"TOISE!" Blastoise shouted as he began to spin like a top and then formed water spheres in his cannons that shot in all directions which made Ash grit his teeth.

Ash put a hand in front of himself as he gritted his teeth, "Charizard dodge all of those attacks!" The fire type nodded at the raven haired trainer and then began to fly around the incoming water type attacks. Suddenly, one of the attacks struck Charizard and the fire type fell to the ground to be in front of a prepared Blastoise that was about to slam another dragon pulse into Charizard. I will never go down any other way! Any other wayyyy… "Kick up the sand with your wings!" Ash shouted instinctively.

"Gruaw!" Charizard flapped his wings to then have the sand pick up from the battlefield and prevent the dragon type attack from coming any closer.

Damian then got another idea as he narrowed his eyes and smirked as he saw what he wanted, "Blastoise use rapid spin on the cacti and make the needles fly in Charizard's direction!" Blastoise looked to his sides and saw what he wanted to see which caused him to retract to his shell and rush the green plants to then spin wildly causing the cacti to be destroyed, but then the thorns began to shoot out towards the fire lizard that was in front of Ash. Feel the poison now, slipping through my skin, I'm not giving up, but I'm giving in.

"Protect yourself with dragon claw!" the Kanto native exclaimed as he crossed a fist in front of his face. The barrage of needles interacted with the green scaly pair of claws and then exploded on impact which caused Charizard to look up from the smoke with a thrilled look. To my darker side, to my every sin… "Now use thunder punch!" The raven haired trainer shouted as he put a hand out.

So I can fight again, you can give me hell, you can give me death, break before I bend I will have revenge.

"ROAR!" Charizard shouted as he flew through the sand with a trail of particles kicking up behind him.

Fire through my veins, I will fan the flames, until my dying breath… Drums beat once again before the chorus starts again

"Withdraw into your shell!" Damian shouted. Blastoise did as he was ordered and went into his shell as Charizard came up over him with a shadow covering Blastoise. Damian smirked as he saw the fire type slam the arcing knuckle into the shell of the water type to see that nothing was happening which caused the fire lizard and the Kanto native to flinch a little, but not give up.

"Keep going Charizard!" 'Cause I will never go down, any other way! Charizard slammed his charged up fist into Blastoise, nothing was happening.

"Gruaw!" top of the shell.

"Roar!" Under the shell causing Blastoise to be airborne

"Gruaw!" Charizard made his other fist also glow in electricity and then slammed them both down in a 'V' shape towards the brown shield that was encasing the water type starter from Kanto. I will never go down, any other way! "GGRRRRRRAAAWWWWW!" Charizard roared once more as he then upper cut the shell to then down cut the shell towards the sand to see Damian in a shocked expression as Blastoise slowly came out of his shell with a dazed expression. Gasoline pumping through my veins, dancing on top of the flames! I will never go down any other way! Any other way!

Any other way!

"Blastoise use dragon pulse once again!" This command caught Ash and Charizard by surprise as the two did not have time to react to the incoming dragon shaped beam.

"ROAR!" The dragon pulse roared as the explosion consumed Ash's side of the battlefield. The raven haired trainer shielded himself with his hand as his scarf shaked. When the smoke cleared, Charizard was on his knees, clearly hurt from the attack. "Urgh... " Ash muttered as he then looked back up and saw Charizard slowly get back up. "Charizard, we can do this, I know you can!" Charizard looked at Ash and nodded at the advice as he then looked at the Blastoise and narrowed his eyes, no movement at all from both trainers and both pokemon.

'Cause I will never go down any other way….

I will never go down any other way…

Charizard twitches his hand and to this, Blastoise seemingly flinches in surprise. Drums kick in again. "Use flare blitz!" 'Cause I will never go down any other way! Charizard roared as he then made himself glow in blue fire to charge the water type that was opposite of him. Damian and Blastoise flinched at this as they saw the fire type slam the strong inferno on them. Ash then put a hand into the sky and called out his next attack, "Now take Blastoise into the air!"

"Toise?" Blastoise asked as he felt a pair of hands latch onto him from both sides. I will never go down any other way!

"Gruaw!" Charizard roared as he went into the beaming sky that was blue while the sun caused a reflection on the sky, all with the Kanto water starter that was on his arms as he went up into the air. Gasoline pumping through my veins, dancing on top of the flames!

Damian looked at this and gasped as the color left his face to then be replaced with a very aggressive way of gritting one's teeth, "Rapid spin!" In the air, Blastoise opened his eyes and then retracted into his shell. The momentum then caused the water type to begin spinning in the arms of the infernal dragon which ultimately caused him to let the water type turtle go as he propelled himself into the sky with the rotational energy from the rapid spin.

I will never go down any other way!

Charizard fell under Blastoise, and Ash gritted his teeth as he saw this, but the raven haired trainer had the brightest gleam on his eyes as he smirked at the blue haired trainer's little scheme, "Damian, you played yourself big time!" Ash then looked up and put a fist into the air, "LIZARDON! Doragon Croaw!"

"Gruaw!" Charizard roared as he then made his claws shake with the stress of his own power to then form the large green three pronged claws that were then put in front of the fire lizard's face before he then shot upwards and collided with the spinning turtle. The stands were cheering at this as Damian gasped in shock as Blastoise slowly stopped spinning, enough for the fire lizard to once again grab ahold of him.

Ash looked up and smirked at this as he then crossed a hand in front of his face, "This is it Damian, I- no, we are through with you!" Ash then pumped a fist in front of his face and shouted, "Dive down Charizard!" From the sky, Ash saw as the infernal dragon began to fall towards the ground with his wings retracted. Seeing the perfect altitude for his plan, Ash made his calculations and smirked as he inverted his cap while raising a hand into the air: "CHARIZARD USE SEISMIC TOSS!"

"GGGGGRRRRRRAAAAAWWWWWW!" Charizard roared as he swung his body around and then launched the water type turtle hurtling towards the ground with a trail of smoke following as he fell faster and faster towards the ground.

Any other way! Music cuts out

"BOOM!" Blastoise hit the ground hard as instantly an explosion kicked up and consumed the middle of the desert field. The stands stayed silent as the smoke and sand cleared to then see that Blastoise was on the ground unconscious with a glow around him as he shifted back into his original form.

"B-Blastoise is unable to battle," Rob spat out with a very disgusted tone as the stands began to erupt into cheers louder than anyone has even heard before. "This means that the win goes to Ash from Lumiose City!"

Charizard then landed in front of Ash with a little bit of sand kicking up from his feet. "GGRRRRRUUUUAAAAWWWWW!" Charizard roared as he clenched his fist and stood proud in front of the raven haired trainer, who was smirking as well with his hands at his side.

"And Ash has found it! This aspiring trainer has just found himself a spot on the semi finals!"

"Good job Charizard," Ash praised as he stepped into the sandy field to pet his fire type that then turned back into his original form. Charizard then signaled for Ash to look up at the scoreboard, and seeing that his face was next to Calem's and Seth's, Ash smiled, "Charizard, we are going to the semi finals!" Charizard nodded at this as the raven haired trainer hugged the fire type. "You were great buddy," Ash said as he felt a new pair of feet land on his shoulder.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted as he licked the raven haired trainer's face.

"Pikachu," Ash said as he also petted the electric mouse behind the ears. "You were amazing too buddy, actually, everyone was, this victory was truly won by team work."

At the stands:

"Ash yes!" Serena exclaimed as she pumped her fist in front of herself while looking towards the arena and down towards her crush. He was embracing his pokemon and she sure did find that amazing as she felt her cheeks color themselves bright red.

Everyone clapped in the stands as Shauna, Tierno and Trevor gave congratulation remarks towards Ash. Calem looked at Ash and smirked as he looked at Charizard and Pikachu on his best friend, he wanted to battle him so badly, "This is truly a battle that Ash deserved to win, and he found it, good job," Calem said as he clapped amusingly.

"This was truly a battle won by passion," Clemont said as he adjusted his glasses. "The way Ash battled is something that can get an admiration from just about anyone!"

"Don't forget the girls," Bonnie agreed as she elbowed Serena playfully, this caused the honey blonde to tense up as the lemon haired girl then jumped out of her seat. "THEY WON! ASH WON!"

"I can't believe it, already in the semi finals," Brock said as he then chuckled. "I think his dad really rubbed off on him," Brock muttered to himself so that nobody could hear.

With Professor Sycamore:

"Marvelous!" The professor chimed as he clapped his hands in an amusing manner. "What a way to finish this battle, only Ash can pull something that amazing off!"

"Yea!" Mairin said with shining eyes as she hugged Chespie harder. "He was so cool! He won that battle with that extremely powerful and amazing Charizard!" The red head then looked at Professor Sycamore. "Was that mega evolution? The way that Charizard and Blastoise transformed like that?" Mairin asked in a very amused tone and shining eyes that made the Professor sweat drop a little.

"Yes, it was, and it truly is a marvelous thing if you ask me, maybe a new research topic for me," Professor Sycamore said with a very amused voice as well.

"Wow!" Mairin squealed in excitement. "Not only was he super cool, but he also stood up that bully and beat him! He is so awesome!"

"Ches Chespin!" Chespie replied with a very amused tone as well.

"Haha, the boy is interesting, maybe you could meet him some day," Professor Sycamore replied as he looked at Mairin. 'Maybe Ash is the person that I was looking for, the person that could serve as her guardian.'

At the battlefield:

The entire stadium kept roaring with cheers as Ash kept the embrace up with Pikachu and Charizard, obviously he could have never been more proud of them. At the same time, Damian recalled Blastoise back into his pokeball as he then shadowed his eyes, "I-I actually lost to Ash," Damian muttered while his fists shook.

"Damian," Rob said as the two met back up in the middle of the field.

Ash saw this and also made his way towards the other, "Look Damian," Ash began with Charizard and Pikachu on his shoulder. The other two guys had their attention drawn to the raven haired trainer who rubbed underneath his nose, all three teenagers were the same size… They were not imbalanced, but equal at that moment, "I know we never got the right start into our relationship, but, in the future, let's have a battle like that one."

Damian flinched at this and sighed, "Look Ash, I am sorry for all of this trouble I have caused you and your pokemon." Damian then reached towards Ash's hand. "Sure, when we meet again let's have another battle, but when that happens, expect a stronger and more civilized person."

Ash smirked as he saw this and pumped the fist of the hand he was not using to shake Damian's hand with, "It's a deal then!"

"There it is! The large virtue of battling settles many disputes, and sure enough, this one has just ended!"

The crowd cheered harder as a new voice appeared behind Ash, "Not so fast," Turning around, everyone was shocked to see Night and Jolteon standing there with his arms crossed.

"Night!" Ash shouted in a very surprised tone as he looked at the boy sporting black and blue. "What are you doing here?"

"Wait, it seems that someone has just appeared out of nowhere!"

"Wait, you are that guy that-"

The boy with the Jolteon took a deep breath, "I am afraid I am that guy that has seen your little fireside chats at night." Night then looked at the two, "So, was the plan seriously to attack other people's pokemon so that they could not battle?"

Damian and Rob both looked down with regretful expressions at this and slowly nodded, "Night, wait, they regret it," Ash said as he looked at the two and then back towards the other teenager. The crowd went silent to see what was going on. "There has to be another way."

"Pika!"

"Gruaw!"

"Oh goodness me Ash, I prefer to be helping injured pokemon and not play the police game, I am just here to tell them that they should not hurt pokemon, although it makes my job a lot more exciting, pokemon should not be the ones going through intentional pain," Night explained as he then turned towards Ash. "Your Pikachu and Goodra could have gotten seriously injured if it was not for Greninja and Noivern," Night said as he then shrugged his shoulders. "Look, the fact is that the referee was allowing illegal moves to go through, and I can't just sit around at that, the other battle with Hunter against Nero also had the same outcome because of him," Night signaled towards Rob who was standing with a regretful position next to Damian, "Dude, you need to be more considerate or else bad things may happen."

"I-I know," Rob said as he clenched his fists. "I just wanted to go along with the plan, but now I realize I was all wrong in how to do this," Rob said as he sighed. "Look, I surrender to you, just keep Damian out of this because I was the idiot that allowed him to do it."

Night nodded at this as he looked up for a black figure to come down from the sky and land behind Rob and Damian. Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard grew wide eyed as they saw Decidueye behind the other two. "Dueye," Decidueye nodded as he got the attention of the other two trainers.

"Let's go," Night said as he began to walk with Rob and Jolteon out of the field and towards the dugout. Inside the tunnel, Night then realized something was off. "Wait, have any of you guys seen Decidueye?"

"Pika?"

"Gruaw?"

"Ummm…" Ash said with a sweatdrop as he looked at the hooded owl holding the vines closed with his hands while lying in the sand… Completely motionless.

"Is that pokemon in need of medical assistance? Oh no wait, we have apparently been informed that this certain pokemon tends to act that way."

At this, the stands burst into laughter, something that Ash could not prevent himself from doing as he saw Night running back into the field with a frustrated expression.

A/N: Well what a running gag! That is one shy Decidueye! Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this battle and I will begin next chapter with what should have been the ending of this chapter! Anyways, I am ready for the top 4, but wait, one more quarter final match with Ashura (Satoshi) in it and then the matchups for those battles.

Oh man, we are getting closer to the climax of the entire league, and I don't know who will be at the top (Well, I do), but I hope you guys accept my decision on how I write this xD!

Oh yea, next chapter will also focus on Ash meeting someone that is going to play a large role with him later on! This is going to be an interesting thing to see, so be thrilled!

I do want to apologize, many of you guys wanted me to kill Damian off (for some apparent reason), but I kind of need a powerful rival for Ash, probably for the future, who knows… Anyways, I didn't choose to kill him off, sorry about that. I hope a battle was enough though!

Lastly, I want to ask you something, how did you like my attempt at making a battle a three parter instead of two? I think I will make Ash's next battle a two parter, but I just wanted to know for the future when I write more battles, specially the six on six ones.

Don't forget to R & R and I will see you guys next time!
