At the stadium:
"Swoosh!" Ash watched as a jet flew overhead of him. It created a supersonic blast that shook the ears of the raven haired trainer and also ruffled his scarf as he looked forward and adjusted his cap with a smile. "This is it, huh?" Ash heard Mairin ask from behind him.
Ash turned around and smiled at the girl, Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, and Brock were all there watching as the raven haired trainer began to make his walk separated from the others to go to the dugouts, "Don't worry, I will win, and when I do, I will find you guys!"
"Good luck Ash!" Serena called out with a smile. "We will take care of Mairin for you and Professor Sycamore!"
"Yea!" Bonnie chanted as she looked over towards the redhead girl who was handling her Chespin. "We can sit together and cheer on for Ash! This is going to be an awesome battle!" Mairin smiled at this and high fived with the lemon blonde girl as the larger tanned male turned to the Kanto native.
"Alright Ash," Brock encouraged as he pumped his fist. "Go ahead and win this battle! Your team will be amazing, don't forget that!"
"And don't forget that this is the semi finals, expect your opponent to be stronger than any opponent you have ever battled, specially since this is Calem, expect a tough struggle between friends," Clemont implied as he adjusted his glasses and looked towards where the people were entering the stadium. It was starting to get packed, and the lemon blonde haired teenager knew that seats would have to be really hard to get if they did not enter right away. "Alright, I think it is time that we go and take our seats before there is none left."
"I agree," Brock said. "Good luck Ash!"
"We will be cheering you on with everything we got!" Bonnie and Mairin both shouted as Dedenne and Squishy also put some cheers of happiness towards the raven haired trainer and Chespie pumped his fist as well.
"Go get'em Ash!" Serena finally said with a wink. "You will do great, I know you will!" Ash could not help and stare at the way that the breeze made her hair wave perfectly, which lead to the honey blonde girl to part her hair to one side.
"Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu chanted as Ash took a deep breath trying to forget what he had just been focused on. The raven haired trainer then nodded and smiled as he began to walk the other way. The breeze slowly making his hair move from side to side, and the sun making a glint with his key stone.
"Alright Pikachu, let's go in here," Ash said as he looked at his designated trainer's lounge to go inside. Walking in, Ash saw the vast room that he was in since the league started before his matches. Looking around, Ash's eyes fell on the cloaked man, who was sitting on the floor, he had a Pikachu in front of him, one that Ash found oddly familiar. "Pika," Ash mouthed as he noticed Pikachu began to get down from his shoulder and approach the pokemon of the same species.
"So I see you somehow figured out the name of my Pikachu," the cloaked man responded, Ash gasped, the voice seemed so familiar.
"He's… He's my father's Pikachu, how come you-" Ash went wide eyed noticed as the man stood up with what looked like a smirk shadowing his eyes.
Ash's jaw dropped when he suddenly saw the man remove his covering. The raven haired trainer seemed afraid to look up, but watching Pika go up to the shoulder of the man, Ash had no doubt of who was in front of him. Standing there facing each other were two trainers: both with raven haired, both with fingerless gloves, both with an electric rodent of the same species on their shoulders. "Son, it is good to see you again," Ashura said as he shadowed his eyes in his hair.
"D-dad… Why are you here? Why are you not attacking me?... Why did you just reveal yourself to me?" Ash said while mimicking his father's movements and also looking down. Suddenly, bother trainers got zapped with a non lethal jolt of electricity from their shoulders and looked towards their electric rodents with confused glances. "Pikachu?"
Both mouses jumped from their trainer's shoulders and met in the middle of the floor between them and shook hands. Ash and Ashura looked at the mouses and then looked back at each other egape. "Ash," Ashura then began with a shadowed look. "My match is next, but before I go, promise me one thing." Ash looked at the older man with a confused look only for the older man to put his cloaked covering back on over his face. "Promise me you will forgive me for how terrible of a person I have been to you in the past."
Ash stood there silently with a million thoughts on his head. The younger boy clenched his fists violently. On one hand he wanted to forgive his father and finally get this entire mess out of his way and possibly go into a new and more prosperous future… But on the other hand, the pain was too great and terrible to look back on, just thinking about it made the smaller boy hurt. Ash just took a deep breath as he then watched Pika leave Pikachu's side and join the older man with Z marks to then open his mouth with his best thought out response: "I will think about it."
Ashura just nodded as he then headed out the door leaving a dumbfounded Ash sitting lethargically on the room. Pikachu nudged him, which made the raven haired trainer sigh as he looked at the small electric mouse, "Am I doing the right thing?" Pikachu asked as Ash looked down.
"Pika... PIKA PIKACHU PI PIKACHU!" The electric rodent called out, instantly snapping Ash out of his thoughts.
"You are right Pikachu, let's forget about this for a moment and think about defeating Calem! I will need a strong team to start this out with too," Ash said as he then put a hand to his chin. "Ever since the league started, Calem has always opened up with his iconic fire bird, I think I have the perfect counter to that!" Ash exclaimed with a very amused tone as he pulled out a pokeball to reveal a pokemon to appear in front of him. The pokemon looked around with a confused look until his eyes fell on Ash and made a happy battle cry. "Alright, for this battle, you are my captain," Ash said as he took off his scarf and began to wrap it around the neck of the pokemon. "This will be my symbol of captainship for my team during this important battle!"
"Pi Pikachu!" Pikachu cried as he jumped with a fistpump right in front of this pokemon.
A/N: What pokemon did Ash just put his scarf around and is planning to lead with? Find out when the battle starts, it will be an extremely amazing battle if you ask me, so I am excited! Calem with his strong roster of pokemon really counter well against Ash's team, I can tell you that right off the bat!
What will Ash do? Will Ash be ultimately defeated? Or will Ash have an ultimate victorious battle against his rival?
Only time will tell…
Oh by the way, this battle is a two parter instead of three :P.

Chapter 47- The Promised Battle!
At the battlefield:
Ashura smirked under his cloak as he recalled his defeated Darkrai back into his pokeball to then look back up towards the battlefield to see Seth pumping his fist with his mega Swampert right in front of him. "Not bad, you definitely have power in your team," Ashura said as he put the pokeball back into his belt. He had been expecting his Darkrai to have been defeated just like it had against Ash, he was not going to underestimate a trainer that made it to the semifinals of the Kalos League.
"Amazing! And Satoshi's Darkrai has just been defeated by Seth's mega Swampert!"
"SWWWAAAAMMMP!" Swampert called out with an extremely intimidating cry as he punched the grass below.
"We just keep battling until we get stronger and stronger!" Seth called out as he put on a powerful pose. "Swampert and I will be able to defeat any opponent that gets in our way!"
"Interesting," Ashura said as he looked back up at the scoreboard and smirked:
Seth: Electrode Typhlosion Staraptor Gliscor Tyrantrum Swampert
Satoshi: Darkrai (pokeball) (pokeball) (pokeball) (pokeball) (pokeball)
"I am going to use one of my all time strongest," Ashura said out loud as he pointed forward. "Pika, let's battle!" The crowd cheered as they saw a small Pikachu go out of the cloak of the covered man, the small rodent having hair perked up on top of his head. The battle was resumed by the referee and the first to take the move was Ashura, "I want to show you my power, Pika, use thunderpunch on the ground!"
"A Pikachu, and just like Ash, Satoshi has a mighty electric type on his side as portraying amazing power with unleashing the first move, thunderpunch!"
"Pika! Pika… CHU!" Pika exclaimed as he jumped into the air with his fist beginning to crackle with a lot of electricity. Suddenly, Pika then reeled his fist back and then swung forward to make the electricity collide completely with the ground and causing a chain reaction of electricity to spark all over the arena and also make the scoreboard flicker on and off as the screens that were showing highlights of the battle were also making arcing sounds as Seth flinched to see that Swampert had sparks coming out of him in small intervals.
"What? It has somehow caused Swampert to get paralyzed!"
"Swampert, are you alright?"
"Swamp…"
Seth gritted his teeth as he looked forward and then put his fist out, "Get this over with, earthquake!" The water and ground type did not even blink as he clapped his hands together to then punch the ground. The grass began to shake and batter as Ashura grinned.
"Let's try to avoid the ground, volt tackle and then go in with iron tail!" Ashura commanded as he put his palm out. Pika got to work as he made a small roar like usual and began to charge the field with a quick attack like trail that then evolved into an aura of electricity, which enveloped the electric type as he jumped from the sections of the grass that were splitting apart. As soon as the electric rodent then got in range, he made his tail glow white and stiffen as he jumped into the air to be in front of the water and ground type.
"CHU PI!" Pika called out as he slammed his tail down on the head of the swamp pokemon. As soon as that happened, the electric type got propelled into the air with a lot of speed as he looked down to see the water type slowly begin to get back up.
"Alright then, think that it is fun to play this game?" Seth asked with a panicked voice that was vague, but strong enough for Ashura to hear. "Go up and use aqua jet!"
"This seems like a risky move from Seth, Pikachu appears to have the higher ground!"
"Swamp… SWAMPERT!" Swampert called out as he made a torrent of water shoot up around him to then cause the water type to shoot up with his fists out in the direction of Pika, who was now arching and beginning to fall.
"Pika?" Pika asked as he saw the incoming water type attack.
Ashura smirked as he saw this, "Thunder punch again, straight down!"
"Pika…. CHUPI!" Pika called out as he made his electric glowing fist collide with the powerful water torrent that was still pushing up towards him. The electric type did not back down as he then felt both he and the water type falling. "PIKA!" Pika called out as he then pushed down even farther with his entire body, which caused the water type to fall straight down like a bullet and crash into the ground with a powerful explosion that riddled through the field which left the entire stadium silent awaiting the result of the battle.
"Swamp…" Swampert groaned on the ground as he reverted back into his regular form.
"Swampert is unable to battle, that means the win goes to Satoshi!" The referee exclaimed as Pika landed in front of Ashura. The electric type looked over to his trainer and then ran back to his cloak, where he hid himself from the outside to then have Ashura begin to walk away from the stadium and out of the dugout. The scoreboard then updated to show the winner of the battle, which was something that Ashura could not care less about.
"And there you have it! Satoshi has made it to the finals!"
Ashura heard the crowd cheer as he then ran into someone at the edge of the hallway, it was Night, who was looking at him with a slightly confused look as Jolteon looked at the pokemon master with curiosity, "Why did you bring back Darkrai? I thought that you weren't using him."
"I didn't want to tire out Zoroark and Aegislash with a decently powerful trainer," Ashura said calmly. "I want those two to enjoy their battle off anyways."
"Will you be using Darkrai in the finals?" Night asked with a sarcastic tone.
"Maybe, depends on who my opponent is, both trainers that will clash in a couple of minutes are not trainers to take lightly, I will try my hardest against whoever I am matched up against," The older raven haired trainer said as he began to walk away. "Also…" Ashura stopped walking to then make Night listen to him. "You know what I told you about Serena?"
"Urgh, but how will I tell her after all these years that we are long lost siblings?" Night asked with a very disgusted tone. "I don't even know if my mom would recognize me anyways…"
"She will," Ashura replied as he sighed. "I had spent a long time without seeing my son and I still remembered him, so Grace can do the same thing as well." Night frowned as he then nodded at Ashura and began to walk the opposite way to then see a trainer coming his way, the one that Night recognized as being the opponent that Ash would have in his match.
"Hey," Night said as he saluted the trainer. "Good luck out there, you will need it."
"I will," The boy said as he looked down at his watch on his left wrist to see the keystone sparkling in the light. "This is the battle that I had been waiting to have for the longest time." The other teenager then smiled, "I also made Manectric a lot faster and mastered that psycho cut strategy!"
"You know I made that last one up, right?" Night replied with a slight laugh before then turning to his Jolteon and saying, "Well, I am going to go watch the battle, have fun out there!" With that, the spiky haired teenager began to move away with his electric type as the other teenager smirked as he looked at the stairs next to him and began to walk up them.
"Haha, made it up? I made it real," The boy said as he then walked into the light out of the dugouts.
With Ash:
"The preparations are done," Ash said as Pikachu jumped to his shoulder. "Let's give Calem the best battle ever!"
"Pika!"
"Alright, here goes!" Ash exclaimed as he heard the cheering of the stands get louder and louder as he approached the light. The raven haired trainer took one look at his Pikachu one more time before he then put his foot into the shining sun that was beaming into the hexagonal shaped hallway that was leading to the trainer's platform. "Let's do this," Ash muttered as he felt the brightness of the giant arena consume him.
At the stands:
Everyone looked at the scoreboard, who was showing that Calem and Ash were the next battlers. "This is going to be a very tough battle," Bonnie said. "I don't know who will win, so I am getting nervous."
"I personally do not know who I am going to cheer for," Tierno said with a frustrated tone as he crossed his arms. "I was not expecting this matchup either."
"I am going to cheer for both of them," Trevor responded to his friend. "There is no hard feelings for how things end up, so I know that it does not matter who wins, it is a battle that we all want to enjoy until the very end."
Serena heard the crowd cheer as she then felt a pokeball open right in front of her. "Pichu!" Kapi called out as she looked onto the field with an excited voice as her trainer smiled back.
"Chespin ches!"
"Come on Ash," Mairin whispered to herself as she looked at the battle. "This battle is for you to win."
Serena looked around to hear the people begin to cheer. The giant rows of seats all covering the stadium from many perspectives while the sun beamed down. Serena looked at Kapi and saw how the sun was making her fur brighter than ever, after that, the Kalos performer looked at the battlefield to see two figures walking through the dugouts to then look up at each other.
"Ash! Calem!"
The two trainers moved up until they reached the trainer's platform, which had a large gap separating the two trainers while they engaged in a staredown.
On their own private place to be seated under the scoreboard, the champion and the researcher were looking down towards the arena that was cheering with a sign of desire for the battle to start. Both of them were also very aware of who was going to be going against each other, it was to no surprise that both Ash and Calem were very powerful trainers.
"So this will be the a battle between good friends, Ash, who battles with passion, and Calem, who also battles with a burning spirit," Diantha commented as she looked at the field.
"I am expecting an amazing battle, let's see what happens," Professor Sycamore said with a tinge of excitement.
At the battlefield:
'Calem, I never thought that I would end up having such an amazing battle with you, but here we are, about the have the battle that we promised each other,' Ash thought as a view of the side of his face portrayed gleaming eyes and his hair glowing brightly to the sound of the cheers. Pikachu was then shown leaping off of Ash's shoulder and show a smirk of determination while collecting electricity on his bright red cheeks.
The view then circled around and came to the side of Calem's face, who had a sense of thrill already instilled in his expression. His black jacket glistening with a white reflection in the sunlight and his jet black hair dangled around his face. 'Ash, no holding back, we promised this would be our battle, and now we must settle the score with each other in the biggest stage possible,' Calem thought as the view then revolved to show his other side, his pale skin and brown eyes glistening as well as the Kalos native pumped his fist. 'I would have never asked for such a better opponent!'
The scene then revolved around both trainers as it then showed a close up of both smiling trainers in front of each other. A gust of wind then blew which made their hair wave a little. 'I WON'T LOSE!' Both trainers exclaimed inside of their heads.
"And let's see what battlefield will be the stage for this seemingly amazing matchup!"
Ash heard the crowd cheer as the battlefield appeared in front of him and Calem. Looking at forward, the battlefield was covered in shallow and murky looking water. There was also occasional trees coming out of the water, which was also covered in some patches of grass.
"The trainers better get prepared for pokemon that are going to be covered in mud! This battle will begin in a swamp field!"
'If Calem wants to start things aerial, then like I predicted before, he is going to lead with the pokemon I thought he would,' Ash thought as he narrowed his eyes and looked around to see Pikachu touching the water with his hand to then pull his paw out to find out that his hand was covered in weird solution that was like water, but had a very foul smell along with a dirty look. "Pika, Pikachu," Pikachu said as he looked back at Ash.
"Right," Ash said as he looked forward. "We will have to use the field to our advantage." The raven haired trainer then looked forward to his smirking opponent. "Let's give this all we have Calem!"
Calem gave a genuine smile and returned the nod back towards Ash, something that he expected would come from someone as determined and spirited as the Kanto native. 'I am so looking forward to this battle, giving it our all is something that I have been wanting to do, and making this battle a great one is something we can both do,' Calem thought as he then pumped his fist. "I would not have it any other way!"
"Trainers, listen up, this will be an official six on six pokemon battle, the battle will be over when all pokemon on either side are unable to continue," The referee stated as he then looked at the two trainers and shouted. "Furthermore, after three pokemon on either side are unable to continue, there will be an intermission to change fields." The referee then put his arms out and made his next command to the two trainers: "Now, choose your first pokemon!"
Calem was the faster one at taking out his lead. He expanded the pokeball and then threw it onto the field with a powerful stance, "Let's go! Talonflame!" The pokeball arched and then opened to materialize into a fire type bird like pokemon with large wings and a very regal stature that had a menacing look on his face.
"Talon!" Talonflame called out as he circled the field over Ash causing the raven haired trainer to hold his cap with a smile to then see the fire and flying type flap his wings in a stationary flight above Calem. "Talon FLAME!"
'I knew he would lead with Talonflame!' Ash thought as he grabbed a pokeball from his belt. "I CHOOSE YOU!" Ash shouted as he then launched the pokeball into the air as high as he could towards the sun. A bright light then appeared which then cast a large shadow over the stadium. Ash smirked as he watched the large winged bat attract the attention from all of the stands thus causing some commotion.
"VERN!" Noivern shouted while sporting the trademark scarf around his neck as he flew around Calem and Talonflame to then land right next to the raven haired trainer. "Noi…" Noivern grunted as he used his claws to take off Ash's bright blue scarf to then hand it to the raven haired trainer, who immediately put it back on. "NOIVERN!" Noivern shouted as he then took the skies with a gust of wind that made Ash's clothes shake. "Vern!" Noivern shouted as he put himself in the same position as Talonflame, but for Ash.
"We are beginning with an aerial battle! Noivern against Talonflame which means that we have to make sure they don't blow us away from our seats! This will already be an interesting matchup!"
"Let the battle…" The ref said with his hand up to then strike down towards the murky water. "BEGIN!"
Battle Music Begin! Ash (Noivern) vs Calem (Talonflame):
"Fly!" Both trainers called out as they put their palms in front of them. The two pokemon instantly flapped their wings and then began to encircle each other as they began to climb up and up towards the top of the stadium to a point in which the entire hexagonal shape was visible before then diving back down. The two pokemon then leveled off and began to split off in their own directions, something that made the raven haired trainer smirk.
"Alright Noivern, go in with sky attack!"
"Charge in with flare blitz!"
"Noivern!" Noivern cried as he instantly made himself glow in celestial energy with his direction changing towards the middle of the field.
"Flame!" Talonflame shouted as he ignited his feathers into flames that streaked around the flying type bird of prey.
Two streaks from the two attacks trailed behind the pokemon as they closed the gap between them on top of the swamp arena. "BOOM!" Instantly the explosion rang out with a very huge shockwave that covered the top of the arena covered in smoke with the two flying types flying through the smoke at blinding speed in the direction of Calem's trainer platform. "SWOOSH!" "Urgh…" Calem grunted as he covered his face to the flying types that whooshed right over him. Turning around, the black haired trainer then looked at his fire type and shouted the next command: "Use fire blast!"
"Dodge it Noviern!" Ash shouted with his fist pumped.
"Talon…." Talonflame charged up as he made the area around his wings begin to encircle fire. "FLAME!" The beam with five prongs shot out and streaked through the air in the direction of the black bat, who was flying in front of the fire type. Noivern saw the attack coming and barrel rolled to have the fire beam pass right above him. "FLAME!" Another beam shot out and Noivern saw it coming as well which caused him to tuck in his wings and begin to dive towards the ground. "Talon…" Talonflame charged up as he saw Noivern come back up towards the air with a steep climb. "FLAME!"
"Vern!" Noivern shrieked in pain as he got blasted right on the back of his wings with the powerful fire type move. This made Ash flinch as he looked up with a worried expression on his face.
"Noivern has been hit with a powerful looking fire blast! This is definitely starting out well for Calem and his mighty Talonflame!"
"Now go in with flare blitz again!" Calem shouted as he pumped both of his fists. Talonflame ignited himself in flames as he began to now charge the pokemon with large ears that was slowly falling towards the ground.
Ash flinched a little as he saw this and narrowed his eyes, "Noivern you have to dodge this attack!" While falling, the dragon type opened his eyes as he saw the fire type headed right for him while ignited in flames. Noivern straightened himself up to then be face to face with the bird that was headed his way and then rolled to the side which caused the opposing flying type to miss. "Awesome job Noivern!" Ash said as he then noticed Talonflame coming back around with flare blitz. The Kanto native noticed this and then put his hands in front of him to then form them into two fists the punched the air in front of him. "Stop him in his tracks with supersonic!"
"Noi…." Noivern charged up as he began to then expel the sound waves from his ears towards the incoming flames. "VEEEERRRNN!"
Calem flinched as he saw Talonflame make a very surprised cry to then be stopped in mid air with his attack completely singing the air and disappearing without harming the sound wave dragon. "What now? Talonflame get out of there!" It was no use as the regional flying type kept struggling which caused Calem to grit his teeth before then smirking, "Alright, try this, air slash!" Talonflame opened his eyes and then made his wings glow white as he shot three razor blades out of his wings that went through the sound waves. The black dragon saw this and instantly stopped his attack to then shoot upwards and avoid the attack thus freeing Talonflame. "Now keep going with air slash!"
"Avoid all of them!" Ash exclaimed as he saw Talonflame getting in position behind Noivern while his wings glowed white. Noivern used his potent sound waves to avoid the incoming razors with barrel rolls and accurate ascensions into the air. Noivern and Talonflame kept the chase going as they went around the stadiums and up to be next to the stands and then circled around to be flying just under the giant scoreboard and passing right over a shocked Professor Sycamore and Diantha, who were looking up at the pokemon in slow motion as they passed.
"A dogfight is in our hands! This battle is definitely getting intense!"
"Flame!" Talonflame kept going as he made himself dive under Noivern to attempt to get a hit from below.
"Noivern!" Noivern shouted as he suddenly tucked in his wings and began to fall towards the ground, the razor blade passing right in front of his face in slow motion barely nicking his ear as he suddenly spread his wings out and leveled off to be right over the muddy water. "Noivern!" The bat pokemon used his soundwaves to navigate around the trees, that had very dark leaves and vines coming down from them. The sound waved dragon then curved back upwards and was face to face with Talonflame again, who was waiting patiently for Noivern to come back up.
"Not bad Calem," Ash commented as he looked at the fire type that was flying in front of his trainer. "Your Talonflame is definitely one of your strongest, and I can see why."
Calem chuckled a little at the response with a smile, "Well, Talonflame was one of the first ones I caught, and he has been my leader throughout most of my battles." The jet black trainer then put his fist out in front of him and smiled, "Talonflame, use fire blast again!"
"Noivern cut through it with sky attack, let's go!"
"Noivern!" Noivern shouted as he made himself glow into celestial energy and then circle around to go towards the attack that was headed his way. The inferno split into a barrage of prongs that were going to consume the gold glowing beast, but as soon as Noivern entered, it was clear that things were going to get intense as the sound wave dragon struggled to go through.
"Noivern is trying to cut through the fire blast! What is Ash trying to do here?"
At the stands:
"The first battle, and they are not even testing their power at all, they are just giving it their all," Brock said in awe as he watched the struggle.
Clemont made his glasses glare, "I know, they promised they would not test each other's power knowing that it would be extremely stupid if they did. Both of them seem to be at equal strength and I can barely comprehend how Calem has been able to develop such a strong team."
"BOOM!" Everyone gasped as they saw both flying types get consumed in an explosion and began to fall to the ground. Then they gave a relieved sigh as they saw the two flying types straighten out and begin to fly in circles around the field completely opposite of each other's position. "This battle is not going to end easily, won't it?" Shauna commented as she held a hand to her mouth.
"They will not back down, either of them know that this battle is the one that paves the way to a chance to become champion, this is why they are battling with everything they have," Trevor said as he took a deep breath. "I don't know how much Noivern and Talonflame can keep up."
"FLARE BLITZ!"
"SKY ATTACK!"
Those two voices boomed through the stadium's speaker system and everyone's attention then turned to be above them to see Noivern and Talonflame zooming with their respective auras to be above them and clash with intense power. "Urgh!" Serena winced as she ducked her head and protected Kapi with her body. Looking back up, the honey blonde noticed the air around her was covered in smoke, then seeing Talonflame zoom past her made her feel warm… Extremely warm. "SWOOSH!" the warmth was taken away from the young performer as Noivern zoomed past her at blinding speed which caused her hair to blow in the direction of the breeze. "Good luck Noivern," Serena whispered clearly having support for the raven haired trainer, who was watching the flying types very carefully.
"Go guys!" Bonnie shouted as he jumped out her seat next to Mairin, who was hugging Chespie with her hands.
"Come on Ash," Mairin also whispered under her breath as she watched Noivern begin to shoot sound waves towards Talonflame.
At the battlefield:
"Alright then Calem, let's see how you like water," Ash announced as he pumped his fist. "Noivern make a waterspout with hurricane!" Noivern dived down to be on top of the water to then flap his wings. The wind began to pick up which made Calem go wide eyed as he saw the breeze begin to make the trees bend in the direction of the wind while also dropping shiny objects to the ground. Suddenly, the water began to shoot up like a torrent and into the vortex, which slowly began to suck in Talonflame.
"Uh oh, Talonflame is going to get staggered here, Calem better be careful!"
"Talonflame get out of there!" Calem shouted with a very panicked tone as he then watched the fire type get caught inside the vortex with water and slowly beginning to take super effective damage. "Grrr…" Calem gritted his teeth as he watched Talonflame beginning to stagger and fall towards the ground. "Take on the eye of the storm, go!" The jet black haired trainer shouted as he put his arm out.
"Talon…" Talonflame opened his eyes open and then straightened out his wings to end up flying through the storm that was consuming the air to appear in the eye of the storm. It was calm, looking around, Talonflame found a wall of water surrounding him, it was raging in all directions, but it was calm, like a very protective shell. Looking upwards, the fire type saw the sound wave dragon controlling his storm, but at the sound of Calem's command for flare blitz, he ignited into flames and began to climb at blinding speed towards Noivern while trying to ignore the super effective attack he had just taken.
"Vern!" Noivern cried in pain as he felt the fire type attack strike his abdomen, which instantly caused the hurricane to stop swirling and the wind to calm down. "Splash!" both trainers had to cover themselves as the water sprinkled over them after it had made a large wave that had crashed down on the shallow ground.
Both Calem and Ash saw their opportunity and with a scene of both of their heads on either side of the screen, they both yelled their respective attacks: "FIRE BLAST!/BOOMBURST!"
The two pokemon were right in front of each other as they made circles around the stadium. The fire type shot the beam of infernal prongs while the other dragon shot the beam of transparent sound waves, both towards each other. Both pokemon made a battlecry as their attacks kept them in mid air as much as possible in a stalemate before causing a ball of energy that erupted in the middle of the battlefield in the air above the trainers and caused the shockwave to shake up the trainers. "Use sky attack!" Ash called out as he turned around and put his fist out.
"Put everything you have into this brave bird!" Calem shouted as he pointed forward.
"Noi… VERN!" Noivern shouted as he made his gold shine brightly through the stadium and go towards the clearing smoke on top of the battlefield while having a gold trail behind him.
"Talon… FLAME!" The fire and flying type shouted as he made himself glow in a blue aura of color that also had a path similar to Noivern's sky attack.
The crowd gasped as the two pokemon closed the gap between them in the middle of the air. "BOOM!" A close up of Ash and Calem's face showed them gritting their teeth as the smoke began to consume the upper part of the air above them. The crowd went completely silent to know what happened in this collision of two very well known flying type moves.
"A collision of brave bird and sky attack has happened! Who will come out victorious from that amazing clash of flying type moves?"
"What happened?" Ash asked himself as he then saw the smoke begin to clear to portray both pokemon with their respective auras still in the air, both just in the middle of the battlefield.
Suddenly, Talonflame lost his blue aura as he began to fall to the ground as Noivern also lost his color, but he flapped his wings to stay airborne and look from above. "Crash!" Everyone looked at the field to see the fire and flying type land in a small splash of mud to then have swirly eyes which made the referee raise his flag, "Talonflame is unable to battle, Noivern is the winner!"
"Noivern has won! What an amazing battle to start this hype at the semifinals!"
"Noi!" Noivern shouted as he made a small circle around the battlefield to which Ash celebrated as the flying type then landed next to him.
"Noivern, take a good rest, you deserve it," Ash said as he pulled out Noivern's pokeball and recalled the flying type. Looking forward, Ash noticed that Calem also recalled Talonflame to then whisper something to the pokeball as he then looked back up at Ash.
"I was not expecting Noivern to be so powerful when it came to sky attack," Calem admitted as he put the pokeball back in his belt. "I did not think that Talonflame could have been that overwhelmed."
"Well, it was all thanks to our great training," Ash said as he rubbed under his nose and then put his hand on his belt. "Now try this pokemon! Sceptile, you are in charge!" The pokeball opened in the air and made the grass type with a toothpick on his mouth appear with a powerful stance in front of the jet black haired trainer, who had an amused look on his face.
Calem also pulled out a pokeball and shot it forward, "Go! Toxicroak!"
"TOXIC!" Toxicroak shouted as he appeared in front of Sceptile with a very powerful look on his face, while keeping his arms apart as if getting ready to fight.
"And there it is, a new pokemon from Calem! A Toxicroak!"
At the stands:
"Noivern is really on a roll after his performance in the quarterfinals," Diantha said as she looked at the field. "Now I see that Calem brought out a new pokemon too!" At this Professor Sycamore nodded as well.
Back to where the hero's friends are sitting, everyone is starting to get an idea of what this battle is looking like: "Ash has the upper hand, but this is Calem he is battling, so there is no reason for him to relax," Tierno said as he looked at the field to notice that both frog like pokemon seemed to enjoy the battlefield, specially being a swamp setting they were in. "Although I have to admit, the battlefield is very favorable for both pokemon."
"I agree," Brock replied as he then narrowed his eyes to look at Calem. "The fact that Calem has not used a Toxicroak in this league conference before, though, is what should be worrying Ash, he may not know much about what this pokemon does."
"I do have to admit, his Toxicroak is very strong, I once battled it when Calem brought him to the Lumiose City Gym," Clemont said as he adjusted the glare on his glasses. "My Luxray was defeated by that Toxicroak, it was just so powerful," The young inventor said. "Of course, this was some time ago, but I would not take it lightly at all."
Shauna smiled as she heard that, "The reason why Toxicroak is known to be so strong is because Calem trains him so much with Gallade, that is what has made him so agile and fast."
"Ash may be able to pull something off though," Serena replied as she grabbed her ribbon with one hand and held Kapi with the other. "I still believe Ash can defeat Toxicroak."
"Oh man, this is Shauna against Serena when it comes to their crushes battling," Bonnie whispered to Mairin who was sitting next to her. The redhead gave a small amused laugh as she looked at the two older girls.
"Let's make a deal," Mairin whispered back which perked up Bonnie's attention. "Let's try and see if we can find some boys that are best friends like Ash and Calem, and then you pick dibs on one and I pick dibs on the other."
"Deal," Bonnie said as she shook Mairin's hand as a form of friendship.
"Alright, the battle is going to start again," Trevor said as he looked forward. "I think Calem might be planning something to counter Sceptile during this battle."
At the battlefield:
"Alright Sceptile, let's start this off by using leaf storm!" Ash shouted as he put a hand into the air. Sceptile got to work and turned his back on Toxicroak to then release the tornadic wave of leafs in the direction of the fighting and poison type, who was waiting carefully for Sceptile to make a move.
Just as the leafs were about to hit, Calem smirks, "Jump!" Toxicroak squatted a little before then making himself go airborne and then pointed forward. "Use high jump kick!" Toxicroak instantly made his leg glow white before shooting forward towards Sceptile, who was looking up with a serious face that Ash knew meant that the poison type was going to attempt to strike him directly.
"Block it with your arms!" Ash shouted as he swung his fist in front of his face with a serious face. Sceptile quickly made a cross with his hands and with sparks flying, began to absorb the fighting type move that made the grass type splash water around a little before digging his feet into the ground below the water. Ash then saw as the Toxicroak's leg stopped glowing, which gave him the perfect time to counter: "Now punch him and kick him back towards Calem!"
"Tile!" Sceptile shouted as he smashed his fist into the figure of the Sinnoh frog pokemon and then jumped a little to smash his right leg into his stomach that caused the opposing frog to get launched to be in front of Calem. "Sceptile," The grass type smirked as the raven haired trainer looked at the battle.
"Sceptile has just countered with his own fighting style! What a great move from Ash!"
"Not bad Ash," Calem praised as he looked forward and then looked at the trees, giving him an idea that he would attempt later: "Toxicroak go in for another high jump kick!"
"Lure him in Sceptile," Ash whispered to himself as he then noticed that the poison type now had his knee pointing at his grass type and was coming in at blinding speed. Seeing that Toxicroak was in his range, Ash pointed upwards, "Dodge it quick!"
"Tile!" Sceptile shouted as he jumped up and out of the way from the attack while watching Toxicroak crash into the water below with a very painful cry.
"Toxic…" Toxicroak grunted as he got on his knees obviously having taken damage. His hands supporting him as he looked at the murky water. Toxicroak noticed a small reflection in the water, and he knew that he had to get out of there soon as Calem called out to him to get up, something that Toxicroak tried to do, but had to take a small breath before he could. Noticing something very off from the water though, Toxicroak picked it up, something that made Calem go wide eyed as he saw it: a berry.
"Finish him now with leaf blade!" Ash called out while crossing his arms in front of his face.
"Scep!" Sceptile shouted as he made his blades glow green and then he crossed them in front of his face, with a menacing look. Seeing that Toxicroak seemed to be doing his own thing on his own, Sceptile decided to make his move "Sceptile…" Sceptile then shouted as he jumped into the air while swinging around the green blades. "SCEPTILE!" Sceptile shouted as he uncrossed his arms and struck the fighting and poison type in its back. "Sceptile!" Sceptile cried as he retracted his blades in front of Ash with a proud pose as he turned around and saw Toxicroak with a very corrupt pose looking at the grass type.
"Toxic…" Toxicroak said as he then lifted his hand and signaled for Sceptile to come at him.
"Toxicroak has endured it!"
"How is he still standing?" Ash asked with a very confused tone as he looked forward.
"Sitrus berry," Calem replied with a very slight chuckle. "Not only did it recover Toxicroak's health, but it also gave us a huge advantage." Ash quirked his eyebrow as Calem then looked up and smiled, "Who knew that your Noivern's hurricane would reveal that these trees are filled with berries. So now it is our turn to try something new!"
"What an amazing idea to use the berries that were on the trees, nobody would ever think that swamp trees would have berries!"
"What are you talking about?" Ash asked with a confused tone as he then looked at Sceptile and shouted. "Sceptile, let's mix things up, use dragon claw!" Sceptile made his pair of green claws appear as he then lunged forward with the intention of striking Toxicroak, but as soon as he made contact, the poison type just blocked it with a powerful cross of his arms.
"Sceptile?" Sceptile asked with a confused tone as he then watched Toxicroak's purple poison sac grow bigger and bigger.
"What is going on?" Ash asked as he then watched Calem pump both of his fists in a victorious pose.
"Ash, try to get through this!" Calem taunted as he pointed forward. "Use BELCH!"
"Toxic…" Toxicroak grunted as he made his poisonous sac get bigger and bigger. Ash, Pikachu and Sceptile went wide eyed as they saw this, it was clearly something the Kanto native had not expected, much less from a poison type to make itself have such a big sac. "CCCRRRROOOOAAAAAKKK!" Toxicroak shouted as he then let out a breathy purple beam to consume the water of the arena. Sceptile looked around intimidated as he noticed that the poisonous move was being directed at the ground. A view from above the arena showed the poison making a cross and bones like figure on the water before then consuming what was a bright liquid into a bubbling and intoxicated polluted waste on the ground.
"What is this? The water has just been completely contaminated! It seems that this may cause trouble for Ash's team!"
"SCCCCEEEEPPP!" Sceptile shrieked in pain as he then felt himself get completely consumed in poison with purple bubbles coming out from his mouth. "Sceptile…" The grass type then muttered as he felt his hands touch the water, it burned him, the sensation of the water was enough to make him wince in pain with purple sparks covering him.
"The water is now poisoning pokemon in contact, ladies and gentlemen, this battle has just turned it's tables!"
Ash went wide eyed as he saw this and then put his fist into the air with a desperate tone in his voice, "Sceptile, come on, put all your energy into this and use frenzy plant and trap Toxicroak!" Sceptile looked back up with with his determined eyes and engraved his fist into the water, trying to ignore the burning sensation as he then made the large plants shoot out of the ground.
The stands were packed with cheers as they saw the bubbling bath and the green plants searing upwards from the purple water in the direction of the poison and fighting type, who was still standing there with a defensive pose. A side view of Calem's mouth showed a small smirk come around as the scene the zoomed out to show the jet black haired trainer putting his hand out to the side: "Use poison jab on those plants!"
"Toxic…" Toxicroak made his fist and spike glow purple as he then struck one of the closer plants which made Ash go completely wide eyed.
"Oh no!"
"Pika!"
"Scep?" Sceptile asked in pain as he then watched the area from where Toxicroak was punching begin to make the frenzy plant turn purple. Soon enough, it had spread and instantly made Sceptile arch back in pain. "Tile…" Sceptile looked up at the air noticing his vision go completely blurry as the scene then showed the grass type himself begin to turn purple and frozen with his muscles seemingly paralyzed. "Sceptile..." The tree frog muttered as he then fell on his back with his body completely limp with his head falling onto Ash's trainer platform.
"Sceptile!" Ash shouted as he kneeled down to check on his grass type who was still sputtering purple bubbles from his mouth.
"Sceptile is unable to battle," The ref declared as he put his hand out. "Toxicroak wins!"
"Toxicroak has just completely used his poison to defeat Sceptile with numerous moves! This is truly an unexpected turn for Calem's favor!"
At the stands:
"That… Was… Brutal…" Clemont said with a very shocked look as he watched Ash recall Sceptile back into his pokeball and praising the grass type for his efforts. "I did not expect poison to be used in such a way that completely consumed the battlefield," Clemont replied as he then narrowed his eyes. "This has just turned really back for Ash."
"I still believe that Ash can do something," Serena replied with a very determined look. "Although this is bad, have you seen some of the situations that Ash has been able to get around? I still think he can defeat Toxicroak."
"But I would not relax," Brock then said. "I did not expect the poison move combination to be this dangerous, as long as this battlefield is being used, Ash and Calem are playing the lottery because the battlefield is worse than toxic spikes now. Even worse for Ash, he does not have a steel type or a poison type. This is going to be hard for him, no doubt."
Professor Sycamore and Diantha had serious faces as they looked at the battlefield and narrowed their eyes, "That battlefield tactic might be one that would catch anyone off guard, even me," Diantha said as she crossed her arms. "Gardevoir would struggle as well being a fairy type."
"No doubt that some of these trainers here have the potential of rivaling your power of being champion," Professor Sycamore said. "Calem has just proven that his pokemon had something up his sleeve that even someone that has been using unpredictable strategies like Ash could not see coming."
At the battlefield:
'I have no other way to deal with Toxicroak, even if I use flying types there is no way that I am going to risk them touching the ground, I am just going to have to make a risky move here,' Ash thought as he then pointed forward and shouted: "Pikachu! I choose you!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he jumped into the poisonous water and collected electricity on his cheeks. "Pika pika!" Pikachu shouted as he stood tall. "Pika…" Pikachu cried one last time in pain as he got consumed in a purple aura and began to breathe in purple bubbles.
"Just by running into the field, Pikachu is poisoned, man how much hot- I mean poisonous water is Ash in right now!"
"Grrr…" Ash muttered as he then pointed forward. "Pikachu, run forward and use quick attack!" Pikachu obeyed as he began to run towards Toxicroak, who was standing there with a very defensive tone.
"High jump kick!" Calem commanded as he also pointed forward. Toxicroak began to run through the purple liquid with a very swift pace as he then made himself jump into the air, avoiding the running attack from the electric mouse and making his leg glow white.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked as he saw the attack coming.
"Pikachu, kick up the water with iron tail and make sure that it hits Toxicroak's eyes!" Ash commanded as he put his hand forward with a bright gleam coming from his eyes. The electric mouse made his usual cry as he made his tail glow white and struck the ground with enough force that splashed up the bubbling water and made it get into the fighting type's eyes.
"Toxic!" Toxicroak shouted in pain as he felt himself strike the ground completely missing Pikachu due to not being able to see as well.
"Thunderbolt!"
"Pika… CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
"Protect!" Toxicroak made himself glow a cyan shield that stopped the arcing electric type move from hitting him. It was clear that the poison type was protected as he released the shield to then smirk at the electric type that landed with a splash in front of him. The poison was still in the eyes of the frog, although not harming, it was hindering his vision.
"And protect defends Toxicroak from what could have been a very devastating hit!"
"Pikachu…" Pikachu staggered once more due to the poison damage, this caused the raven haired trainer to put a hand up to his chin, his fingerless gloves interacting with his chin softly. "Pika!" Pikachu yelled back in a sort of desperate tone as Ash then smirked. 'If he said that there were berries in those trees, then let's find out if we can find one that will make us impenetrable to the poison.'
"Pikachu! Listen closely, go into the trees and try to find a pecha berry! It looks like a pink pointy fruit that has white spots in it!" Ash shouted as he cupped his mouth with his hands. Pikachu instantly began to move into the trees, something that Calem looked at from the side of his vision with a confused look on his face. After the electric mouse disappeared into the trees, he came back out with a green aura surrounding him that held a smile of obvious victory. "Now you can't see this coming, don't you? Iron tail!"
"Poison jab, straight up!" Calem shouted as he put his hand to the side.
"Toxic!" Toxicroak shouted as he strained against the steel type move for a second, only for him to not be able to resist due to gravity and fatigue, which caused a small explosion as Pikachu then was propelled back into the air.
"Yes!" Ash shouted as he then pointed forward. "Use THUNDERBOLT!"
"Pika… CHHUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Toxicroak got up only to the see the electric beam come his way through the gleam of his eyes. "BOOM!" the battlefield was consumed in an explosion as Pikachu landed in Ash's trainer box with the green aura around him disappearing completely. Looking at Toxicroak, the referee knew it was over: "Toxicroak is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!"
"And Toxicroak has finally gone down! What a play by Ash to get the berry at the right moment!"
"Alright!" Ash shouted as he high fived Pikachu while the crowd erupted into the cheers and claps.
At the stands:
"I was not expecting less from Pikachu," Brock said with a smile as he crossed his arms. "I still know that whatever is coming out will be a powerful one too."
"I know that Calem is going to have to force himself into battling away from the poisonous water for now," Shauna said. "That strategy has only worked for Toxicroak, so I now see that the battlefield is a very large hazard for any pokemon they can both use." Shauna then sighed as she looked at Calem and looked at the scoreboard, the jet black haired trainer was down one pokemon, but she knew he could bring it back, "Go Calem…" Shauna whispered to herself.
At the battlefield:
'Amazing, even with Toxicroak's amazing strategy, I was not able to take down Ash's Pikachu,' Calem thought as he recalled his fallen poison type. 'I may have to go with something a little more menacing now, something to make Ash resort to a lot of power,' Calem thought as he then pulled out another pokeball and shot it forward. "Go Salamence!" The pokeball rose into the air and opened with a very strong flashing light that made the stands whisper among themselves as the large blue pseudo legendary from Hoenn emerged.
"And Calem retreats to his Salamence, he has not used this pokemon yet either, so this is going to be interesting!"
"RAWR!" Salamence called out as he stayed airborne above Calem with a steady flapping of his wings.
"Salamence, huh?" Ash smirked as he reached into his belt and threw a pokeball towards the field. "Let's show him what you can do Noivern!"
"And Ash will attempt to take down this Salamence with Noivern!"
"Vern!" Noivern shouted as he emerged into the battle once again with a powerful screech. The referee (who for some odd reason not wearing a hazmat suit from his position down at the battlefield) signaled to resume the battle and Ash was the first to make a move.
"Noivern, use boomburst!" Ash shouted as he put his hand out. The sound wave dragon flew around the Hoenn pseudo legendary and then made his ears glow white as he fired off the beam. Salamence maneuvered a little around the first back of sound, but then the second barrage hit him square on. "Noivern! Use sky attack!"
"Noi… VVVEEEEEERRRRNNN!" Noivern shouted in his celestial golden beam.
Calem gritted his teeth as he then pointed forward with his eyes gleaming from the sun as well, "Use dragon rush!"
"RAAAWWWR!" Salamence shouted as he made himself glow a blue aura that then slammed into the angelic move that was being utilized by the black bat. The collision caused some tension which then caused some sparks to shoot out as a shockwave that caused Calem and Ash to cover themselves with their hands. Salamence and Noivern then shot out chasing each other with their respective auras and the two trainers followed them very carefully not wanting to make a move.
Suddenly, the worst possible thing for Ash could happen when Noivern glew in a bright Inferno before then losing his aura that was about to slam into Salamence. The raven haired trainer and Pikachu saw this and knew exactly what had happened as they clenched their fists.
"Noivern is burned! What a surprise for Ash!"
At the stands:
"Oh no! Noivern is burned, this is really bad for Ash," Clemont said with a worried tone of his voice.
"What?" Serena asked with worry as she kept Kapi close.
"From before," Clemont replied as he then replayed the scene in his head: A closeup of the collision of Talonflame and Noivern portrays embers appearing from the feathers of Talonflame and touching Noivern's body. "Talonflame's ability was flame body, because of the many collisions they had, Noivern ended up getting burned."
Mairin gritted her teeth as she heard this and clenched her teeth to then see Noivern get hit with a very strong thunder fang that crunched down on the ears of the sound wave dragon. Salamence then swung around and threw Noivern towards the ground.
"Dragon Rush!"
Everyone flinched as they saw Salamence make himself glow blue before slamming Noivern towards the ground with a large splash. As soon as they looked at Salamence flying gracefully on top of the arena, the referee was also heard through the microphone system: "Noivern is unable to battle, Salamence wins."
"Poor Noivern," Trevor said as he scratched his head. "That burn from Talonflame was unexpected."
"And here you think that Talonflame was a fall guy, he ended up being the main reason as to why Noivern went down," Tierno replied. "There is no way you should underestimate Calem's pokemon because they are definitely very powerful."
Serena looked at the scoreboard and saw how the battle was now even again as she hugged Kapi:
Ash: Noivern Sceptile (pokeball) (pokeball) (pokeball) Pikachu
Calem: Toxicroak Talonflame (pokeball) (pokeball) (pokeball) Salamence
"Oh Ash," Serena whispered to herself as she looked at the battlefield to see Ash pulling out a pokeball. "Be careful out there."
At the battlefield:
"And Noivern has gone down, what will Ash do now?"
"Noivern, return," Ash said as he recalled his fallen dragon type to see that the scoreboard had updated to show that Noivern was also out of the battle. "Take a good rest." Noivern was sucked back into red energy and went into his pokeball as the raven haired trainer then looked at the battlefield and the bubbles coming out from it. "I don't like this battlefield, let's win this next battle to change it…" Ash then reached into his belt and pulled out another pokeball. "Charizard, I choose you!"
"Gruaw!" The blazing fire type shouted as he appeared on top of the field and right in front of Salamence with his mega pendant shining brightly in the sun rays. The fire and flying type looked back at Ash and smiled. 'There is only one pokemon that I have that would enjoy a challenge like this one, Charizard can take on this Salamence!' Ash thought as he then smiled brightly.
"And Charizard will be Ash's next choice, a battle of dragons if I do say so myself!"
"Get ready for this Calem!" Ash exclaimed as he smiled and pumped his fist in front of himself. The bright sun from above making his eyes sparkle as he then propelled his arms to his sides: "Charizard use your best thunderpunch!"
Calem smirked as he saw this and pumped his fist as well, "I like your electricity Ash, this battle has already got my motor driving!" The jet black haired trainer then pointed forward and with a giant smile shouted: "Thunder fang!"
The scene slowed down to slow motion as Charizard and Salamence were about to collide, the fire and flying type swinging a fist while the other pokemon having large mandibles right in front of him. Both moves were crackling with electricity as they were about to collide.
Ash and Calem are then seen with their hands out next to their respective pokemon, this battle was just starting to get electric.
A/N: Will Ash settle the score? Or will Calem proceed to the finals? Find out next time!
Alright, why did I make these electric jokes at the end of the chapter? Well, because I wanted the two trainers to have fun with electricity. Night is watching in the background with sparkles in his eyes because of this LOL!
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed part one. Get ready for part two as we get to see so many interesting things.
This chapter was sooooooo fun to write, specially with the Toxicroak shenanigans going on. I do have to say that if you did read the battle word for word, you would have enjoyed this so much!
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed! Remember to R & R and I will see you guys next time!
