52. Chapter 52

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I have been busy. Being a Biomedical Engineering Pre-Med major at a University is very time consuming so I probably should have warned you guys for the long wait. This is the second to last chapter of this book in the fic, expect a sequel pretty soon :)!

Alright guys, so I did not even want to put anything before the author's note because I know there is so much hype to wait as to how the entire league will end and who will come out on top as the champion of the Kalos League.

So, to warn you guys: If by any chance you have to throw your keyboard through the computer screen, at least know that the real Kalos League would have hurt more than a flimsy fic.

As to who will win the battle? It will be revealed in this chapter…

I hope you guys have enjoyed the battling arc of the entire Kalos League, so I know that the future of the fic will hopefully contain many more amazing battles to come!

Without further ado, I will like to see you guys at the bottom… Hopefully in one piece xD!

Chapter 52- Ash's Ultimate Faceoff! A Supernatural Conclusion!

At the battlefield:

Both Pikachu and Pika began to hit each other with their attacks, Pika used his crackling fists against Pikachu's glowing steel tail. Both pokemon struggled to hit their opponents while they kept swinging and swinging.

"KA!" Thunderpunch hit hard on iron tail.

"Chu…" Pikachu's tail returned back to normal color and stiffness.

"KAAACHHUUUUUUUU!" Pika shouted as the punch came closer and closer to Pikachu.

"PIKACHU!" Pikachu squealed in pain as he skidded across the mud and ended up in front of Ash with gritted teeth while trying to stay upright.

"Now…." Ashura said as he revealed his glowing Z ring before beginning to shake with excitement before looking forward and thrusting both of his arms and fists forward: "TEN MILLION VOLT THUNDERBOLT!"

"Pika…" Pika shouted as he began to glow with electricity before then spreading out his hands and thus causing six different orbs to appear. All six orbs were different colors, all from the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The orbs had electric sparks coming from them as they got prepared to shoot forward. The orbs were growing bigger and bigger, definitely something that looked fearsome to many trainers. "Pika pika pika pika…" Pika chanted as he got ready to unleash his gargantuan attack.

Ash looked at the incoming attack and his face instantly became pale, his eyes changed from auburn to gray: It was fear, but mostly panic. Looking down, shadowing his eyes and taking a deep breath, the raven haired trainer gritted his teeth, looked up and with the color back to his face and gleaming eyes, punched the ground with all his might as he exclaimed his next attack: "DENKI OBADORAIBU!"

"Pika… Pikachu shouted as he earth shattered beneath him. The electric mouse then developed a large cloaking and crackling aura of electricity as he punched the ground like his trainer. As soon as Pikachu's fist made contact with the ground, the earth under Pikachu shattered as the electric earth began to move towards Pika. "PIKA… CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

"Pika… CHUUUUUUUUUU!" Pika shouted as he mimicked his trainer's movement and shot the electricity forward with his arms stretched outwards.

The attacks crossed each other, the air consumed by the multicolored electricity while the earth was breaking apart with a shocking gaps menacing to consume anything. The scene then shifted between the views of both Pikachu's faces as the attack came closer, the colors of the rainbow appearing in the eyes of Pikachu while the color of electricity approaching Pika.

"Pew…. BOOOOMMM!"

Two giant orbs where the Pikachu were standing formed, one multicolored while the other one had a pale yellow color, but both were crackling in electricity. Suddenly, the orbs shattered in all directions causing the people in the stands to feel the shockwave from the arena while the electricity dissipated all throughout the stadium causing the hexagonal lights to flicker and the scoreboard to flicker on and off as well.

At the stands:

Everyone looked at the battlefield with their jaws dropping open. The explosion rung all throughout the arena and they were shocked to see the result of the battle. Kapi also had a very worried look on her face as she screamed into the silent stadium: "PICHU!"

Diantha and Professor Sycamore could not believe their eyes as they watched the smoke begin to clear. Their mouths were wide open and they had completely shocked expressions in their faces. Diantha also had her hand up to her keystone, the power portrayed by both trainers at that moment could rival, no… It was more powerful than any explosion she had ever caused in a battle throughout her entire champion career.

Night looked at the battlefield with his mouth hanging somewhat open, but he was completely wide eyed and in awe as to what had happened. He had battled Ashura before, but causing that large of a catastrophe was not something he had ever imagined was possible by anything other than a legendary pokemon. Similarly to his trainer, Jolteon had wide eyes and was looking with complete enthusiasm towards the field to see what was the result of this incredible battle as the smoke cleared by the help of the rain that was still raining on the field.

Malva and her camera crew also looked towards the field in shock. The Elite Four reporter was delivering the news of what happened to the news so that it could get broadcasted to people that were watching through television. Still, Malva had shock in her voice as she spoke towards the shaken up camera crew.

Alola:

Everyone in the classroom was dead silent when they watched the collision of the super charged electric move and the colossal Z move. As they waited for the smoke to clear, Hau looked towards his wrist and then back at the screen, there was no way possible in his mind that he could have ever imagined Ash's Pikachu to rival a Z move with a normal move, but of course that was just what he had witnessed.

Lana and Mallow looked with worried expressions towards the screen, the blue haired girl had her hand covering her mouth while the young cook next to her had wide eyes.

"What happened…?" Professor Kukui dared ask only to see that the smoke was starting to clear.

At the battlefield:

Ash and Ashura looked up from their trainer platform after having been covering their bodies from the explosions. Looking through the smoke that was being cleared by the rain, the raven haired trainer noticed that there was one pokemon standing, barely, and another one on the ground completely defeated.

Both trainers gasped as the air got clearer and clearer to reveal who was defeated after that exchange.

"Satoshi's Pikachu is unable to battle," The referee exclaimed as he raised his hand. "Ash's Pikachu wins!" At that very instant the entire stadium erupted into cheers and Ash could not believe it, he had actually defeated one of his father's top notch pokemon.

"Unbelievable! Ash's Pikachu finished it off with all he had and ended up defeating yet another one of Satoshi's undefeated pokemon!"

Ash's face turned into a smile as he noticed that Pikachu was right in front of him with a large smile. "Pikachu!" the champion electric mouse exclaimed as he jumped around with scratch marks all over him, but other than that he was completely fine. "Pika pika!"

At the stands:

"PICHU PICHU!" Kapi shouted with her arms at her sides as she restlessly sat on Serena's lap, who was also very happy after the result of the battle.

"Now it is three against two," Shauna said as she looked at Serena. "Seems like Kapi's cheering really helped out, didn't it?"

"Chu pichu!"

Serena smiled as she petted the pokemon in her lap, "I guess, she really wanted Pikachu to win it this time."

Calem did not seem amused as he looked at the battlefield: "One problem, Satoshi still has one pokemon that has not battled yet and that Dragonite. All of Ash's pokemon have taken a substantial amount of damage too."

"What do you mean by that?" Bonnie asked as she looked at the jet black haired trainer only for the orange haired boy to speak up.

"It means that Ash is still at a disadvantage," Trevor replied to which Tierno nodded.

Clemont adjusted the glare in his glasses, "Even more shocking has to be that Pikachu managed to take that amazingly powerful Z move." He then looked forward and clenched his fists. "I don't believe that Pikachu can go through much more before he is defeated."

With Professor Sycamore and Diantha, the two looked down at the battlefield with very surprised expressions, "No way, Ash may be able to pull this one off!" Diantha replied as she pumped her fists.

"Never give up until it is over, Ash definitely has been using that advice to keep on going," Professor Sycamore said with a smile.

At the battlefield:

Ash petted his electric mouse's head as he chuckled and looked forward to see his father grab his Pikachu and begin to walk back towards his trainer platform. "I have to admit Ash," Ashura began which got his son's attention. "Your Pikachu managed to tank a very powerful attack and also delivered a very powerful one as well." The rain clouds then disappeared as he set his Pikachu down in the tunnel behind him and smirked as he grabbed a pokeball from his belt and held it in his hand to throw forward. "Let's see how you deal with this one!" Ashura reeled his hand back and threw his pokeball forward with a very fast motion as he yelled: "Go!"

"RIO!" A large bipedal pokemon landed in the wet grass across from Pikachu. He was blue and black in the limbs and had a beige torso. This pokemon had three spikes too, on the wrists and the chest. Two large pointed ears were also there and this pokemon made a large cry as he made a shockwave ring through the stadium. "Lucario!" he cried as he put on a fighting stance, a glistening mega stone around the pokemon's neck.

"And it looks like Satoshi's last pokemon is Lucario!"

The scoreboard then updated to show the winner of the battle:

Ash: Goodra Noivern Sceptile Charizard Greninja Pikachu

Satoshi: Pikachu Zoroark Aerodactyl Aegislash Dragonite Lucario

"A Lucario," Ash said in awe as his eyes glistened looking at the pokemon in front of him. "I am going to definitely be giving it my all, right Pikachu?"

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he smirked while looking forward. "Pika pikachu!" Pikachu chanted as he collected the electricity on his red cheeks.

"Whoa, what gives," Ash said as he then noticed the entire grassy battlefield begin to glow blue once again. "Another field change?"

"Well will you believe it? We have another field change!"

The battlefield did not change in form wise, but the middle began to surge upwards in what appeared to be a large tree. Suddenly the blue glow disappeared and both trainers got a good glimpse of a large tree in front of them that had a large diameter. In fact, it looked like a large tree that appeared in those fantasy pictures that Ash had seen in the past. The trees completely covered the sun and allowed for Ash and Ashura to be under the shade. "So a large tree," Ashura said as he adjusted his cap. "Not bad, right Lucario?"

"Rio!"

(Incase you have not noticed, this is a reference to Lucario and a Tree of a Beginnings :D)

"Our special battlefield has now grown a ginormous tree in the middle! Amazing!"

"Alright Pikachu, let's set the bar even higher!" Ash exclaimed with a smirk as he pumped both of his fists.

"Pikachu!" The electric mouse was charging up electricity as he then leaned down and waited for his first move against Lucario.

"Use quick attack to gain the advantage and get to the top of the tree as fast as possible!"

"Pika!"

"Hmph," Ashura smirked as he watched the electric mouse begin to make his way up the bark. "Watch him closely Lucario," The man said as he watched his fighting and steel type in front of him follow the yellow blur up to the top of the tree. Ash's father then put his hand forward and shouted his next attack: "Now go after him, use your aura to find Pikachu in the tree!"

Lucario looked up and then made his eyes glow blue before shooting upwards into the tree bark to Ash's surprise as to how fast he was moving. "Luca, Luca, Lucario!" Lucario shouted as he reached the peak of the tree and then jumped above the large canopy, completely overlooking the leaves and battlefield while having a good view of the cheering stands. The pokemon then closed his eyes as he concentrated and located a blue blurb that had the shape of Pikachu jumping from branch to branch.

Ashura smirked and then pumped his fist, "Give Pikachu a good bone rush!"

Ash gasped as he gritted his teeth and saw this: "Pikachu dodge the attack!"

"Pika!" Pikachu chanted as he jumped back and avoided the hit which caused the tree branch to shake. Lucario got to his feet on the branch and then turned his head to be face to face with Pikachu, his two long bones in his arms as his mega stone glistened. "Pika..."

"RIO!" Lucario exclaimed as he charged the electric mouse once more.

"Pikachu!" The smaller pokemon shouted as he jumped over Lucario and ran towards the bark of the tree thus beginning to climb once more higher and higher up the tree.

"Pikachu's agility successfully avoids bone rush! What an amazing use of speed by Ash's part!"

Ashura from below put a hand to his side and pumped his fist as he narrowed his eyes, "aura sphere, don't let him get too far!"

"RIO!" Lucario shouted as he formed the blue sphere in between his arms and then shot it forward against the electric type who was running up. An explosion then rang out as Pikachu was struck on his back with the fighting type attack.

"Pika!" Pikachu squealed in pain as he lost his grip and began to fall down with incredible speed towards the ground while being close to the bark.

"Pikachu no!" Ash mouthed as he gritted his teeth and punched the air in front of him: "Use iron tail and engrave it into the bark to slow you down!"

Pikachu opened his eyes and made his tail glow white and stiffen at the same time, "Pika… CHU!" Pikachu shouted as he made his lightning bolt shaped tail dig into the bark and begin to slow him down just before he hit the ground below.

"I have never seen anything like this before! Iron tail was powerful enough to penetrate the bark of a tree!"

"Now thunderbolt!" A mirage image of Ash exclaimed showing as he punched the air above him.

"Pika… CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" The electricity crackled and rushed through the air and into the branch where Lucario was, the fighting type narrowing his eyes while watching the incoming attack.

Ashura pumped both of his fists as he exclaimed his next attack: "Dragon pulse!"

"Luca… RIO!" Lucario shouted as he made a large beam escape from between his hands that was shaped like a dragon while having a blue, purple and red tint to it which interacting with the electric attack. The explosion rung out from mid air and this both fighters ended up completely unharmed.

"And what an amazing collision of both moves! Both Pikachu and Lucario are definitely giving it their all!"

Ash put an arm to his side and then shouted: "Pikachu, free yourself and then run towards Lucario with quick attack while also using thunderbolt on yourself!"

"Pika!" Pikachu chanted as he freed his tail from the bark and then narrowed his eyes as he looked up and began to run again towards the blue fighting type. "Pika pika pika pika pika pika pika!" The white trail behind him was then completely replaced with a yellow aura of crackling electricity.

"Get to the top of the tree!" Ashura countered as he looked up with gritted teeth. Lucario obliged as jumped to the top of the tree, from below, Pikachu could be seen zigzagging while performing his chant with the electric aura while getting to the top of the tree. When both pokemon emerged from the leaves, Ashura made his next command watching both pokemon be in front of each other. "Bone rush!"

"PIKA!"

"RIO!"

Both pokemon strained for power, Pikachu slamming against the bright blue bones while Lucario's face had an electric glint from the electric types attack. There was then a shockwave and both pokemon ended up going in opposite directions: Pikachu was thrown into the air while Lucario landed in the tree branches of the large tree.

"Dragon pulse!" Ashura exclaimed with a pump of his fist.

"Reverse counter shield!" Ash retaliated while putting his hand out in front of him.

"Pika… CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu shouted as he looked down towards the ground with gleaming eyes before beginning to spin fast while creating an electric tornado that was headed towards the incoming multicolored dragon shaped beam. The two attacks met in midair on top of the tree which resulted in a ginormous explosion that caused Pikachu to get launched in tangent out of the way from the tree completely unable to use anything to slow down the descent.

"Bone rush!"

"Pika?" Pikachu asked in shock as he saw Lucario in front of him. "PIKA!" Pikachu squealed in pain as he got slammed down faster with the blue bone.

"Pikachu no!" Ash shouted in panic as he saw Pikachu rush towards the ground completely limp. "BOOM!" An explosion rang out from the ground as the battlefield cracked a little where Pikachu landed.

"Rio…" Lucario landed in front of Ashura with a very a hand on the ground and with a very victorious pose as he looked across from the tree to where Pikachu had landed.

The stadium became quiet as the dust began to clear. "Pika…" Pikachu muttered as he stood up breathing hard. While walking forward, clearly not wanting to give up and keep on going. "Pika…" The scene around the edges grew dark as in slow motion, Pikachu grew limp and began to fall back completely unconscious only to not hit the ground by a pair of fingerless gloves hands stopping him from doing so.

"Pikachu is unable to battle, Lucario wins!" Ash ignored the referee's declaration and the crowd's cheering as he looked at the electric mouse in his hands.

Ash had his eyes shadowed as he looked down at his partner, "Pikachu, are you alright?" He asked in a very calm voice.

"Pikapi," Pikachu nodded slowly while recovering from his battle.

Ash began to walk back towards his trainer's platform and smiled as he looked at the pokemon in his arms: "Thank you so much, you battled well." The raven haired trainer then walked back to the tunnel behind the platform and set Pikachu down inside of there. "Take a good rest, you battled enough for today."

Pikachu's eyes glistened as he watched his pikapi begin to walk back towards the battlefield, "Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted grabbing his trainer's attention. "Pika pikachu!" Pikachu shouted while pumping his fist.

Ash smirked as he grabbed his hat and adjusted it in place. "Right, I can do this! I am not alone!" The raven haired trainer then turned back to the battlefield and put his hand in his pocket to feel a piece of fabric was still in there. "I have everyone behind me…" Ash then touched his belt and felt all five pokeballs. "My pokemon are always with me and I will not give up." Ash then felt the first two pokeballs: Greninja's and Charizard's pokeballs, the ones he had that could still battle. Ash took a deep breath as a gust of wind made his scarf shake and his hair ruffle around. "Alright, what is next dad?"

"Glad you asked," Ashura responded as he took out a pokeball and recalled his Lucario back into red energy.

At the stands:

"Pikachu lost…" Mairin muttered as she held Chespie. "What can Ash do now?" The redhead looked down to see Ash and his opponent conversing beyond the large tree that was in between both trainers. "Come on Ash, you can do this," Mairin said as he eyes gleamed with determination hoping that the raven haired trainer would come through.

"Ches Chespin," Chespie responded looking back up at his partner, clearly agreeing with her.

Clemont looked at the battlefield and then pointed out something: "Lucario has not taken any damage during its battle with Pikachu, all of the attacks were either blocked or did not hit at all."

"Yeah, the advantage that Lucario has is tremendous," Brock agreed while crossing his arms. "It is true that Satoshi's pokemon have worn out Ash's pokemon, specially that Zoroark against both Charizard and Greninja: Ash's last hopes of winning this."

"GO Ash GO!" Bonnie shouted once more while practically standing up from her chair.

"Dedenne!"

"Blrblr!" Squishy also agreed while standing on top of the lemon blonde's head.

Serena looked at Ash with gleaming sapphire blue eyes and waving hair to the slight breeze as she held her ribbon, her fingers intertwining in the fabric near her chest. "Ash, best of luck."

Watching from afar, Lysandre stood looking down at the cheering arena with a smirk on his face, his cut definitely having healed by now. "Ash and Ashura will finish this battle, and then… I will have enough data to fully execute my plan…"

With the Elite Four:

"I really feel like that Satoshi man is very powerful in his raw power," Winkstorm said with a very curious tone while finding it a little harder to move with his armor. "I do like the way that his Lucario was able to put work of a powerful Pikachu like that."

Dransa, as elderly as she was disagreed with her comrade: "You are only biased because of Lucario's steel type." Winkstorm flinched at this claim as Dransa looked at the television screen and narrowed her eyes, "Ash's strategies have outsmarted both Aegislash and even prevented him from getting defeated and thrown away by any other pokemon in Satoshi's team. Talk about another steel type like Aegislash being completely obliterated." The last part was said with a chuckle to which Winkstorm clenched his fists, but did not react violently because of his morality of being a knight in shining armor.

Siebold put a hand to his tie and touched his keystone, "Who is to say that this will be an interesting battle, neither trainer has thrown out their mega evolutions or even had a chance to battle with their full power." The master chef then narrowed his eyes while muttering to himself: "Specially that Greninja's power…"

At the battlefield:

The battlefield once again began to glow as the scene shifted to portray the tied scoreboard:

Ash: Pikachu Goodra Noivern Sceptile Charizard Greninja

Satoshi: Pikachu Zoroark Aerodactyl Aegislash Dragonite Lucario

"So now that both trainers are down to their last two pokemon, what can we expect from the next battlefield?"

The view circled to show the side of Ash's face. 'This is it, Charizard and Greninja are all I got, I am going to give it all I've got!' Shifting to his fist with the glistening keystone, there was a sparkle that could be seen as the raven haired trainer clenched his fist to the point that it vibrated. 'I want to show everyone that I can do this!' Ash then narrowed his eyes as he looked towards a mirage image of his father: 'I will win this, I can do this if I put my heart to it!'

Ashura looked at his son with a very serious look on his face as he smiled and looked down while grabbing the edge of his hat, completely ignoring that the battlefield was changing in front of him. 'He is very determined to win this. I want him to become champion of Kalos by beating me, but at the same time, I don't want him to win.' Ashura grinned as he let out a quiet chuckle: 'Oh the conflict with winning my own share of leagues in the past. I remember when I first won the final round.'

Flashback:

"Charizard use BLAST BURN!" Ashura exclaimed while commanding the large draconic fire type in front of him.

"GGGGRRRUUUUAAWWWW!" The Charizard shouted as he slammed his fist into the ground thus causing the earth around him to ignite into a blazing inferno that radiated and ruptured through the ground towards his opponent's Blastoise like molten lava. The opposing trainer did not even have time to react as a gleaming view of the larger water type's eyes portrayed the incoming attack, which then radiated into a large explosion that engulfed the entire battlefield with black smoke.

At the battlefield:

Ashura frowned as he remembered his Charizard that… 'Don't think about that Red, one day you will be reunited with him- Just focus on this battle.'

Ash and Ashura both had shocked faces when they got the time to look forward and see the battlefield: It was a mountain battlefield, similar to the one where Ash and Trevor battled before. The only difference was the fact that the mountains were sharp pointed and had grass covering them. Clearly, it was a very pleasant sight that made both raven haired trainers smile.

"And we will continue in a mountain battlefield, how will this affect the pokemon that both trainers choose?"

Ashura and Ash were both shown with side views of their faces on the left and the right respectively. 'If I am going to win this battle, then I am going to need a flying type!' Both trainers did not speed as they reached into their belts and grabbed a pokeball. Ash and Ashura both flexed their arms and threw their pokeballs forward at the same time: "GO CHARIZARD/DRAGONITE!"

"GRUAW!"

"RAWR!"

Both flashing lights materialized as the pokemon spread out their wings before hitting the ground and began to ascend into the air above, one above Ash and the other above Ashura. Both trainers and their pokemon smirked, definitely both were happy with their decision.

"And a Charizard against Dragonite battle! This is bound to be one of our most epic surprises in this entire conference!"

"Let's start this off strong," The older trainer said as he put his hand out: "Use your powerful aqua tail!" Dragonite made his tail glow blue with a watery trail coming from behind as he charged forward towards the fire and flying type. Dragonite was just about to down cut on Charizard when Ash made his move:

"Dragon claw!" The scarfed trainer retaliated while crushing his open hand into a fist in front of him.

Charizard narrowed his eyes while watching the attack and making his green claws to counter. "Gruaw!" The scaly pair of menacing claws that the fire type grew then interacted with the water type move that was radiating from the tail. Charizard and Dragonite struggled for a second before there was a shockwave that repelled both pokemon from each other, the fire type landing in front of Ash panting hard.

Ash went wide eyed as he saw Charizard's decrease in power: 'Zoroark's attacks… That is why Charizard is very tired.' Ash looked forward and noticed that Dragonite was the opposite of tired, in face he was seemingly completely fine and overpowering the battle. "Charizard, don't give up, take flight and use your speed to avoid Dragonite until we get an opening to attack from."

Charizard looked back at Ash and nodded while letting out a puff of smoke from his nostrils. "Gruaw!" He cried as he flew into the bright blue sky and began to encircle the battlefield.

"Ice beam! Stop him from getting far!"

"Rawr!" The dragon and flying type pokemon chanted as he made the freezing blue beam from his mouth. The attack flowed through the sky and struck Charizard where he was flying, just behind the raven haired boy who ignored the sudden drop in temperature he felt while the ice beam passed.

"Gruaw…"

"Charizard no!" Ash flinched in panic as he saw that his fiery partner was beginning to lose altitude. Looking closer, the raven haired trainer saw a shiny spec on the fire type's wings which made him instantly pump both of his fists: "Burn that ice off with flare blitz!"

"Gruaw…" Charizard said as he opened his eyes. "GRRRUUUUAAAAWWW!" Charizard shouted as he flexed his arms as well and instantly ignited his entire body into flames that instantly melted the ice into nothing which allowed him to fly again, shooting upwards and appearing behind Dragonite.

"And Ash's quick thinking has made Charizard thaw out the wings! What a genius move!"

"Now go!" Ash exclaimed with a fist pump.

"Gruaw!"

"Rawrrr…." The dragon type pseudo legendary from Kanto screamed in pain as he felt his entire body get rammed into by Charizard, feeling as if he was hit in the back with a flaming missile. Dragonite shook off the pain instantly and smirked back at his opponent, who was still breathing hard from his fatigue.

"Charizard, use dragon claw!" Ash shouted while throwing his fist in front of him.

Ashura saw this as a potential time to strike and put his hand in front of him: "Not gonna work, OUTRAGE!"

"GRUAW!"

"RAWR!"

One pokemon grew a large dragon shaped aura around him as he charged the other dragon who had made two large green claws. Both pokemon instantly met in the middle of the field in mid air above the mountain with the auras colliding in an aerial clash that sent sparks flying in all directions. Ash gritted his teeth as his fire type then got overpowered by the larger pseudo legendary and got sent back into the ground in front of him.

"What an amazing collision of attacks! It looks like Charizard is at a pinch though, what can Ash do about this?"

"Charizard!" Ash called out to his pokemon to see that he was starting to get back up, but barely being able to keep himself up because of how tired he was. The fire type was panting hard as he looked forward and narrowed his eyes before turning to his trainer and pumping his fist. The raven haired trainer went a little wide eyed knowing that Charizard wanted to continue on, but he knew that he had to help him out a little bit or else his attacks would not do a thing to Dragonite… "Alright Charizard, we might not get all of the power that we would usually get, but let's try it!"

"Gruaw!" Charizard responded as his trainer lifted his glove up in front of his face with the keystone glistening to the sun rays.

"Keystone!" Ash shouted as the rock began to shine brightly. "Listen to my heart…" The prongs started to shoot out as Charizard's mega stone began to glow blue and shoot out prongs as well that began to interact with the ones from the key stone. "Beyond evolution… MEGA EVOLVE!"

"Grrrrruuuuuuuuuuaaaawwww!" Charizard roared as he grew larger and larger. The glow that enveloped him made him have his new shaped wings and the strong shoulder blades. The fire that was around his mouth forming and resembling his trainer's scarf and suddenly the entire glow stopped thus displaying the new fire and dragon type with the black and blue coloring. "GRUAW!" Charizard exclaimed as he roared and the mega evolution DNA symbol appeared in front of him for a split second sending a shockwave through the arena.

"Hmph…" Ash smirked as his scarf waved to the new power being exerted.

"And enter Mega Charizard! This is going to be an interesting battle now that Ash has thrown out one of his strongest aces!"

Ashura looked surprised at his son while eyeing the new powerful obstacle he would have to face. "Not bad Ash…" The scene then showed its edges narrowing as a zoom into the older trainer's eyes depicted a very fiery determination. "Let's see how you deal with this!" He then pumped his fist and shouted: "Dragonite fly forward and go for another outrage!"

"Rawr!" Dragonite nodded as he made himself glow in a dragon red and black aura as he then took flight and rushed towards Charizard, who was eyeing the pseudo legendary pokemon carefully.

Ash responded quick as he made his command: "Dodge it!"

"Gruaw!" Charizard replied as he spread his black wings and took off just as the attack passed under him. Dragonite skidded to a stop as he looked up to see that Charizard was watching him from above.

"Ice beam!"

"Dragon claw! Fly into it!"

"RAWR!" Dragonite roared as he made the freezing orb while looking up at the fire and dragon type while the latter made two large scaly claws. "RAAAWWWWRRR!" The beam shot out and interacted with the claws, which were not stopping Charizard because of the gravity forcing the attack towards the dragon and flying type. "Rawr…" Dragonite yelped in pain as he got slashed in the chest by the blue and black dragon type, the green trail of the penetration disappeared towards the direction of the green scaly claws.

Ashura did not panic as he put his hand forward and shouted for his next attack: "Be strong Dragonite, aqua tail!" The flying type did not even strain as he made his tail glow a blue fluid color before then getting airborne again and going for the water type attack against Charizard, who looked back down in panic.

Ash gritted his teeth as he pumped his fist and shouted his next command: "Thunder punch!"

"GRUAW!" Charizard cried with his red eyes gleaming as his electrified fist was swung downwards against the larger dragon that was swinging his tail upwards. Both attack collided and strained until Dragonite's tail crackled and forced him back towards the ground clearly in pain due to the electricity being conducted. Ashura looked in awe at this as he noticed that Ash clearly had the advantage.

Ash shadowed his eyes and then looked up while throwing his fist out in front of him: "Charizard, use flare blitz!"

"Not going to happen," Ashura declared as he looked at the mountain in front of him and narrowed his eyes. "Dragonite, straighten out your wings and dodge it!" Dragonite opened his eyes and spread his wings out, catching grip of the air once more before sharply turning his body to the right in order to avoid getting hit by the dragon who was engulfed in blue flames. After Dragonite passed, Ashura pumped his fist in front of him., "Now, sky drop!"

"No way!"

"RAWR!"

"Gruaw?" Charizard asked in panic as he felt two large pair of arms pick him up and begin to take him into the sky. The crowds cheered as they saw the two dragon types ascending, although the darker one was struggling to get off of the arms of the Kanto pseudo legendary. "Gruaw!" The infernal fire type cried in desperation trying to get out of the grip of Dragonite.

"Charizard no!" Ash exclaimed in panic while looking up with gritted teeth and clenched fists.

"Dragonite has gotten ahold of Charizard! This might just be Satoshi's win!"

At the stands:

"Oh no!" Trevor exclaimed in panic while watching. "If Charizard gets thrown down against the ground then it is all over for him!"

"Come on Ash!" Bonnie shouted.

Mairin held onto Chespie hard as she closed her eyes, "Please Charizard, win this for Ash."

Shauna and Calem had narrowed eyes while looking down at the field, but the former began to comment on how there was no way that Charizard was getting close enough to match Dragonite's power when mega evolved.

Clemont and Brock were deep in thought while Tierno looked at the field with crossed arms, "The fact is, Ash is kind of stuck at this point, Charizard is too tired to keep going…"

Clemont then spoke up, "Still, I would not underestimate the power that Charizard has when he is in a pinch. If Ash does pull himself together he can actually pull something off."

"The power of a pokemon that could take down the champion of Kanto," Brock whispered. "No doubt Ash is trying his hardest, but the power Dragonite holds make it a very powerful obstacle."

Serena sat their in silence looking as Charizard struggled with her hand in her ribbon. Her eyes were crystal blue and she gritted her teeth as she saw Dragonite begin to arch around.

In Alola:

"This looks like it is over," Kukui said plainly. "Dragonite is completely overpowering Charizard."

Hau gritted his teeth, "No way, I know Ash can pull something off." Everyone instantly looked at the green haired trainer with confused faces as he stood up from his chair and pumped his fist. "Ash is someone that would never give up, he will keep going until Charizard can't keep battling and he would never just stand there and not try anything." He then took a deep breath and looked back at the screen that portrayed the Kalos League Finals. "Come on Ash, think of something."

At the battlefield:

"Charizard is struggling, this looks all over for him folks!"

The scene made itself dark and focused on Charizard being held by Dragonite through his strong arms. Ash then flinched at the sight of an idea coming to him.

"Alright, you want to see that I can still do damage?" Ash asked while smirking. "You are so close to Charizard that you don't see that you are still vulnerable by his body. Charizard, FLARE BLITZ!"

"GrrrrrrUUUUUUUUAAAWWW!" the infernal draconic fire and dragon type shouted as he engulfed himself in blue flames that consumed both him and Dragonite. Ashura looked shocked as he watched his dragon type begin to struggle as well from being so close to the fire type attack and beginning to take damage as well.

Ashura clenched his fists and threw his hand forward, "Urgh, let go of him!"

"Rawr!" Dragonite cried as he let Charizard go from above, a view from below shows Charizard falling on his back from the larger pokemon ascending higher, his fiery aura still there.

"No way! Satoshi was forced to let go of his great opportunity by Ash's quick thinking!"

Ashura then threw a hand at his side and made his next command: "Dragonite, now outage!"

Seeing the black and red aura around the dragon and flying type, Ash flinched, but then threw a hand into the air and shouted for the same command he had done moments ago: "Flare blitz!"

"GRUAW!" Charizard ignited himself once more to follow up by flapping his wings and closing the gap with Dragonite in less than an instant. "BOOM!" The explosion rang out and caused Ash's scarf to wave as Ashura's closed also shook. Both trainers were then consumed by the smoke that had come from the explosion while the crowd stopped cheering wondering what had happened.

"What an impact! I can't see a thing at all!"

Ash and Ashura were both then shown looking through the smoke and dust before noticing two shadows interacting in the smoke which caused them both to go wide eyed knowing they had an opportunity to finish things off. "SKY DROP!/SEISMIC TOSS!"

"GRUAW!"

"RAWWWRR!"

As the dust settled, through the smoke, everyone saw how the two dragons were holding onto each other like if they were hugging whilst rocketing towards the ground. "BOOM!" Once again the smoke and dust rippled through the arena as both pokemon crashed into the top of the mountain and caused both Ash and Ashura to shield themselves.

"Both pokemon have crashed into the ground! I can't believe it!"

"What happened…?" Ash asked as the dust settled.

As soon as the smoke cleared, it was seen that both pokemon were in the ground lying next to each other, Charizard was also in his original form while Dragonite was unconscious as well and with his head on Charizard's belly.

"Both pokemon are unable to battle, it is a draw!" the referee declared.

The two trainers went wide eyed as the scoreboard updated and the eerie silence of the crowd was replaced with gasps and cheers from the spectacular show that was just shown.

"And with that, this battle has ended in a double knock out!"

At the stands:

"A tie?!" Calem exclaimed as he put his hand on his jet black hair. "It is actually going to go down to the last pokemon on both sides!" Serena heard this and looked at the scoreboard, sure enough, both Ash and Ashura had completely worn down each other to their last pokemon:

Ash: Charizard Pikachu Goodra Noivern Sceptile Greninja

Satoshi: Dragonite Pikachu Zoroark Aerodactyl Aegislash Lucario

Serena looked at Kapi, who was in her hands and smiled, "Alright, I believe that Ash can win this!" Serena then petted her electric mouse and spoke up again, "Isn't that right Kapi?"

"Chu PI!"

"Not so fast," Clemont said which got everyone's attention. "That Lucario that is about to go up against Greninja can mega evolve… Not going to lie, but this Lucario seems to be a lot more powerful that even Gurkinn's Mega Lucario."

Brock then turned to Clemont, "How powerful is Gurkinn's Lucario?"

"It is strong alright," Everyone turned to Calem who was looking at the battlefield while narrowing his eyes. "Before I challenged Korrina, I asked Gurkinn for a battle to warm up and during that battle, he swept my team of Electrike, Croagunk, and Quilladin."

Shauna nodded to that, "I was there, and I thought that although Croagunk had poisoned him, then he could win with Quilladin, but the fact is that Lucario was just too strong." Mairin heard this and grew a worried look on her face. She felt less confident in Ash's ability to even put a dent on Ashura's Lucario if it was true.

"He's that powerful?" Trevor asked along with Tierno.

"Who cares," Everyone turned to Serena who was was smirking. "This is not Gurkinn's Lucario and we don't know until Ash battles him. I still believe that he can win!" Mairin smiled as she held Chespie after hearing this. She pumped her fists and muttered something to which her Chespin smiled as well.

Professor Sycamore and Diantha sat where they were with very interested looks in their faces. "I can't believe that we ended up in a final round where both trainers are down to their last pokemon. That is a very rare occasion that I have never seen during my time hosting the pokemon league," Diantha said with a chuckle.

"It is definitely something that I would not have counted in happening either," Professor Sycamore said with a smile. "I wish the best of luck to both trainers in the final round."

Lysandre was then shown looking down at the battlefield with a smirk. The broken glass in front of him not bothering him one bit from analyzing the battle to which everyone was cheering for.

At the battlefield:

"Charizard, you were great," Ash said as he put his draconic fire type's pokeball back in his belt to then be in a staredown with his own father, who also had recalled his Dragonite. "I guess this is it… I am going to give it all I got if I want to win this."

The scene circled around and focused on Ashura's eyes, who were brighter than ever as they traveled up and down the field that was now beginning to glow blue once again.

"The battlefield was changing all over again, but what would it be this time? Something that could give the advantage to Lucario or Greninja?"

The field started to bulge out, to which Ash and Ashura both flinched looking at the field's curvature. Suddenly, the blue glow shot through the air of the stadium and created a shockwave that made the raven haired trainer's scarf wave while the opposing trainer's clothes ruffled around. Suddenly, at the hearing of "oohs" and "aahs", Ash looked up and went wide eyed at the way that the light around him disappeared: Above him was a dark night sky with many dark blue stars that were glowing above him. It was so beautiful although there was no moon present, and even Ashura thought that it was thoughtful, but in his opinion, it seemed unnecessary… Until he looked down at the battlefield in front of him.

"No way…" Ash mouthed in awe as he saw the blue glow of the battlefield disappeared to show somewhat of a flat abyss, but with clear mist covering the ground. It was definitely a combination of the sky change and the field to make a very pretty show.

"Both trainers will now be battling in what appears to be a plain misty field! What a beautiful sight to take in!"

"So in other words, just a flat battleground to battle in that looks slightly cooler," Ashura said with a chuckle before adjusting his cap before then turning his attention to his son. "Ash, let's do this!" He then reached into his belt and pulled out a pokeball which he held in his hand before then looking up and with gritted teeth launch it forward for the bright light to appear to materialize the pokemon. "GO LUCARIO!"

"RIOI!" Lucario shouted as he took form with his blue fur raising above the mist while putting on a battle stance that caused everyone in the stadium to cheer as his mega stone glistened in the light emitted by the stars above. "Luca!"

"And there it is! Lucario from Satoshi's team, let's see how Ash responds to this challenge from his opponent!"

A zoom in from a belt with five pokeballs showed a fingerless glove with a glistening keystone reach towards the first pokeball while feeling the roundness and solid metal feeling of the device. Ash was then shown with his eyes narrowed as he looked at the pokeball in front of him and smirked silently as he enlarged the pokeball to then turning his body to the side and launching the pokeball forward with his right arm like if it was a frisbee. "Greninja, I CHOOSE YOU!"

The pokeball travelled fast through the air and erupted to the signature sound and flashing light that then ended with the light turning into a frog ninja pokemon that was standing in in the mist with his arms crossed while looking forward. "Ninja!" Greninja said under his scarf as he looked forward.

"To finish this off it will be the mythical and mysterious Greninja against the powerful and talented Lucario! Keeping in mind that both of these pokemon have already taken down one opponent from one another's trainer's, now we have to wait and see which one of the two will pull through with two knockouts!"

"Let the battle resume!" The referee exclaimed as he raised his arm which made both trainers lock eyes with silence radiating through them.

Everything was still…

Until…

Greninja twitched the edge of his tongue and Lucario took a slight step back allowing Ash to throw his hand in front of him. "Water shuriken!" Greninja was quick to reach for his legs and made the water ninja stars that were fluid and brightly glowing as the sinister water type then uncrossed his arms and shot the shurikens forward.

"Ninja!"

"And here we go, Ash is making the first move…"

Ashura swiped an arm across his body and shouted an attack as well: "Lucario, bone rush, counter them!"

"Luca!" Lucario shouted as he made the two white glowing bones and threw them like a boomerang through the air. The two attacks then collided and caused an explosion that sent a shockwave into both directions of the battlefield.

"Now, Lucario, give them a good feeling of aura sphere!"

"Luca!" Lucario shouted as he made his two hands form a large sphere that radiates a bright white and blue glow before then shooting it against the sinister water type pokemon in front of him. "RIO!"

Ash saw the threat immediately and narrowed his eyes going back to a gym battle where he used a move to deflect aura sphere completely out of the way. "Greninja, use aerial ace and then smash it into the ground!" Greninja did not even flinch as he made his four limbs glow whitish blue before propelling himself forward with all of his speed. As he reached the fighting type move, he jumped over it and then punched it downwards from above, with a little bit of resistance, the ball of energy slammed into the ground and smoke come up in front of Ash as the water and dark type then got an opportunity to attack against Lucario. "Now GO!" The raven haired trainer commanded while pumping his fist.

"Ninja!" Greninja shouted as he began to get near Lucario, who had narrowed his eyes while eyeing the Kalos starter.

"Block it!"

"Lucario!" Lucario shouted as he put his paw out in front of him which caused the dark type to stagger for a bit with his light blue limbs before being pushed back into the air with a seemingly powerful shockwave that radiated from the steel and fighting type.

Ash flinched seeing Greninja get pushed back like that, he was not expecting Lucario to completely block it. "Now use copycat!" Ashura shouted with his fist in front of him. Greninja looked shocked as he got rammed into by Lucario's leg, that was glowing a whitish red color antagonizing against the color of Greninja's aerial ace. The frog ninja pokemon then hit the ground in front of Ash and landed with his hand in front of him touching the seemingly misty ground.

"And there is Satoshi's amazing comeback! In case anyone didn't know, copycat allows Lucario to use the same move that was last used by Greninja, this can be trouble for Ash if he is not careful!"

"Greninja, are you alright?" Ash asked as he watched his water type get up without the glow on his limbs and nod to tell the raven haired trainer that it would take more than that to knock him out. "Good, now run at him and use aqua blade!"

"Gren!" Greninja nodded as he leaned forward and began to run with his hands behind his back towards the opposing fighting type, who had appeared to be acting very stationary during the battle. The sinister water type starter from Kalos then pulled out his hands in front of him and made two dark blue kunais that had water rippling effect as he ran forward.

Ashura saw Greninja's blades and crossed his hands in front of his face before commanding his next attack: "Use bone rush!" Lucario spread out his arms and through the mist, the two bones appeared. Rushing forward, the fighting type crossed his bones in front of him as Greninja swung wildly at him with his kunais which caused both pokemon to stay at a stalemate while causing a shockwave that rippled them both to fall in front of their trainers with the fog encircling them as they halted to a stop. Ashura then saw his opportunity to attack seeing that the water type had retracted his blades and threw his arm forward with glowing bright eyes: "Dragon pulse!"

"Lucario!" Lucario exclaimed as he spread out his hands and made his left hand make a red orb of energy while his right made a purple one and his mouth formed a blue one. Both beams then shot out simultaneously and merged together to form a large dragon shaped beam that was headed towards the ninja kalos starter, the colossal beast displayed an elegant light show as he approached Greninja and the mist seemed to clear the way too.

Ash flinched as he saw this and instantly he reacted by pumping his fist with his left hand while stretching his right arm out to his right, "Double team and get out of there!"

"Gren gren gren!" Greninja chanted as he raised his arms in a cross fashion pose that is common for his species to make while splitting himself into many different shaded copies that covered Ash's side of the mist. The dragon shone through the darkness and collided with the ground of the many frog ninja pokemon while allowing for the mist to settle down with still many copies of Greninja standing in front of Ash, who had a smirk on his face.

Ashura smiled as he saw this and pumped his fist, "copycat!"

"Rio!" Lucario shouted as he glowed with a white aura for a split second. "Luca luca luca!" Lucario also chanted as he split himself into many copies of himself which ended up covering his side of the mist. The result was both sides with seemingly armies of pokemon standing there with battle stances.

"Amazing! And it looks like both trainers have entire squadrons on their sides! I have never seen anything like this!"

"Water shuriken!/Aura sphere!" Both trainers shouted in unison while raising their arms.

"GREN!"

"RIO!"

Both armies of bipedal pokemon charged up their attacks, ninja stars against orbs of energy. The result: Instantly, all copies disappeared with a large explosion in front of both trainers that left them shielding their faces while looking forward. The crowd seemingly had gone quiet as the mist around both pokemon persisted, but they were panting hard in front of their trainers, clearly wanting to keep going, but with more power now.

"I can feel it, the climax is upon us everyone! Let's see that Ash and Satoshi will give us!"

At the stands:

"Come on Ash!" Bonnie shouted as she extended her fist outward. Mairin also did a similar action in the dark hexagonal stadium. Seemingly, the six sided lights had been turned off as well and the scoreboard dimly lit up the entire stadium, but the lightshow of blue colors coming from the actual battlefield kept the entire stadium completely captivated by the beauty and display of colors. Bonnie once again stood up from her seat and began cheering on some more: "Beat him and become the champion already!"

"Bonnie calm down," Clemont said with a chuckle while looking at his sister. The lemon blonde boy was also very restless, not something common as his hands were shaking as they gripped the edge of the seat: this was it, the result of the battle would be known in a couple of minutes, whether Ash won or lost, it is clear that at least he gave it all he got against his opponent.

Shauna and Calem seemed to have very stressed out expressions on their faces and similarly Trevor and Tierno were also seemingly getting excited for how everything was about to escalate for the climax of the Kalos League.

Serena though, she held Kapi in her hands, who was very cheerful during the battle and had been chanting for Ash, but the honey blonde haired girl who had shiny gold hair and resonating shining aqua eyes from the dim indigo light given from the stadium and the stars above, was holding onto her cerulean ribbon. At the same time, she narrowed her eyes and whispered: "I believe in you, win or lose…"

"Alright, this is where things get good," Night said as he leaned forward into the railing. His spiky hair waving a little in the wind as he took a sigh. "Jolteon take a good look at the movement of Ash's body…"

"Jol?" Jolteon asked while looking back at him.

"Yes," Night replied as he took a deep breath. "Our reverse evolution is not the same, but there are some similarities in the way that it is caused by a strong bond." He then narrowed his eyes as he eyed the Greninja, "If it was reverse evolution, Greninja would turn into a less sinister looking pokemon, but this is different, this is almost like a fusion of trainer and pokemon."

"Jolteon…" Jolteon said as he nodded and looked at the frog ninja, his yellow spiky fur keeping the electric type warm as he began studying Ash's pokemon.

At the battlefield:

"Ash," The older trainer said as the scene made the stadium completely disappear with both pokemon battling completely disappearing from view. The only thing that was visible was Ash and his father standing across from each other with the blue mist rising from below while the dark night sky was above them with the stars shining brightly. "It has been a while since we last saw each other, our time together ended very suddenly, and in a very bad note… I still regret falling for the trap that made me take lives of people that didn't deserve it, especially your mother- my wife." Ashura sighed as he shadowed his eyes in his red cap. "Although I never got to apologize directly, I know it will take some time for you to forgive me…" The trainer that once went by the name Red then looked up and narrowed his eyes. "I want to tell you what I feel through this battle, please understand me, son."

The scene returned to normal with both trainer standing across from each other, Ashura though, he made his move as he revealed the key stone in his wrist, which started to shine brightly. "Now, Lucario, let's show them our strength!" Ashura then raised his wrist into the air while shouting his next command: "Lucario, MEGA EVOLVE!"

"RIO!" Lucario shouted as both trainer and pokemon had a light blue aura surround them before the mega stone around the bipedal fighting type's neck began to shine brightly as well. The prongs from the mega stone and keystone began to connect as the pokemon began to glow white as well followed by a transformation of ultimate power. "LUCA!" Lucario cried as he flexed his muscles to then expel his arms to his sides as the glow disappeared. "LUCARIO!" Lucario shouted making a shockwave rush through the arena and making Ash's scarf and clothes wave. The mega evolution symbol then appeared in front of the fighting type for a brief moment, who was now bigger with more yellow fur and with blood red markings at the end of his limbs. Notably, there was also more spikes around his body and the extensions behind his head were larger than ever.

Ash grabbed his hat and adjusted it as the scene returned to only being him and his father. The raven haired trainer was shown from behind as he looked straight ahead with his scarf shaking a little. "Dad, I should have known you would have joined just to battle me. Although I never expected to be doing so well against you, here I am toe to toe with you in a battle that seems like it won't end." He then took a deep breath as he formed a fist in front of his chest. "I guess this is it, huh? Well I promised myself that I would win this battle in order to take my next step in becoming a pokemon master, and although I know that it is not going to be easy, I will do it… I- no, we won't lose here, not now…" The scene then returned to normal as the mist began to clear, but the sky stayed dark like it was before.

"It looks like the mist has vanished… With that, we will have to finish this battle in a black and blue spiked battlefield!"

Ash looked at the battlefield ahead of him and smirked seeing the dark colored rocky ground along with the occasional spikes that came from the ground that were glowing blue. Although there was plenty of space to battle in.

The Resistance- Nightcore

(Guitar entrance)

The referee ordered for the battle to resume and then Ashura made the first move as he punched the air in front of him: "Use aura sphere!"

"Luca… RIO!" Lucario shouted as he made the large shining sphere with his hands and then propelled it forward with all of his power. The sphere went through the air and approached the frog ninja pokemon before the raven haired trainer crushed a fist in front of him.

"Greninja, let's do this!" Ash shouted as he pumped his fist, something that his pokemon copied at the same time as he finished flexing his arm in a way that made him shake in excitement as he then shifted to his other arm. "IIICCCKKEEEEEEE!"

"NINJA!" Greninja shouted as he made the torrent shoot out at the same time as he and Ash flexed their arms at their sides while shouting, thus making the entire view flash white.

Am a nation… Portrays a Sceptile slashing the scene with two long green blades.

Am a million faces formed together made for elevation. Depicts a Noivern rushing forward with a glowing celestial aura.

I am a soldier, I won't surrender… Displays a Goodra shooting forward a white beam.

Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers. Shows a Pikachu punching the ground with an electrical aura.

(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?) The voice of the unheard! Shows Charizard in his mega form charging forward with two green claws.

(Who's gonna break these chains and lies?) Love is the answer! Shows a pair of brown boots going in tipy toes towards a set of red and black sneakers.

I gotta speak it, believe it that's how I feel inside!

I, I can't, can't sit here quiet! The scene returns to the stadium as it portrays the red eyes of Greninja glowing for the torrent of water as the frog ninja pokemon extended his arms forward along with his trainer, thus causing the entire torrent to shoot out like a wall of water and close the gap with the aura sphere, which caused an explosion in the middle of the dark battlefield.

Ash is then shown looking up from his cap. A closeup of the V neck area of his sweater shows as the raven haired trainer closed his fist in the white circle area. You can take my heart you can take my breath… WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD CHEST! Ash, with gleaming eyes, then put his hand forward and shouted his command: "Greninja run at him and use aqua blade!"

"Gren!" Greninja shouted as he made his blue kunais form before he ran forward with his new look: Red lightning fins next to his eyes, which were darker red as well. His chest also had the same pattern that Ash's attire has and then Greninja's tongue waved around with a blue color that resembles the scarf that his trainer wears. Greninja's large water shuriken then gleamed from behind as he was shown running towards the fighting type ahead. "Gren… ninja!" Greninja shouted as he began to wildly swing around his blades.

"Copycat!" Ashura retaliated while extending his arm forward. Lucario made two blades, but instead of them being fluid and watery, they were reddish-orange while blazing on fire. Lucario then began to run forward as well in an attempt to meet up with the sinister water type. This is how we rise up!

"GREN!"

"LUCA!"

Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train!

Both pokemon closed the gap immediately and begin to swing their blades back and forth, although most hits were just ricocheting off the other's weapons. A mirage image of Ash then showed of himself behind greninja as Lucario swung his infernal blade on Greninja's arm, the ninja pokemon falling back a little while grabbing himself. "Urgh," Ash winced as he felt the burning sensation from the side.

This is how we rise up!

"Aura sphere!" Ashura shouted as he gritted his teeth and moved his head forward as he commanded the move. Lucario looked up and with gleaming eyes shot the sphere forward towards Greninja, who was looking up with more determined eyes now.

Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder!

Ash quickly looked up and stepped back with one foot as he pulled back his fist: "Greninja, use aerial ace!" Greninja made his arms and legs glow a whitish blue color before charging forward and quickly slamming his fist down on the actual sphere thus causing it to slam into the dark rocky ground while causing dust to pick up. Ash was then shown with his right leg high in the air as well, "Now GO!"

Magic!

"Greninja!" Greninja chanted as he was shown to be in the same position as his trainer while slamming his foot down on the fighting type's head.

Static!

"Lucario," Lucario winced as his head fell back.

Call me a fanatic!

"Nin… JA!" Greninja was about to slam into Lucario's chest, but the fighting type grabbed him just in time. "Gren…" Greninja muttered as he saw that he was open for an attack.

Ashura pumped his fist and then made his next move: "Throw him Lucario!"

It's our world, they can never have it!

"LucaRIO!" Lucario shouted as he swung his body around and taking Greninja with him around as well. "RIO!" Lucario finished as the sinister waster type was being returned to his own trainer, who was gritting his teeth.

This is how we rise up!

Ashura was then shown putting his hand down next to him with a quick and firm pose: "Dragon pulse!" Lucario instantly made his arms and mouth charge up the separate beams and then shot the red, purple, and blue forward and into the air for them to merge and create a ginormous dragon shaped energy beast that was headed right for the water and dark type.

It's our resistance!

Greninja was shown with his eyes closed while falling back in pain before a mirage image of Ash made him look forward towards the beam, "Greninja use water shuriken!" The raven haired trainer commanded as he reached for his back like the water type. Greninja then launched the large ninja star forward for it to create an explosion that caused a shockwave in the middle of the field to which Ash's scarf was shown waving from behind while looking up at the smoke.

YOU CAN'T RESIST US! Short guitar solo starts again.

"Gren!" Greninja said silently as he landed in front of his trainer, who had his arm in the ground like a ninja, with the same pose as the latter. "Greninja," Greninja replied as both trainer and pokemon both back up to their feet at the same time as the water shuriken appeared behind the frog ninja pokemon with a quick zing.

Hey are you hearing? Are you listening?

Ash gritted his teeth as he looked forward, 'Lucario is just being patient and then attacking after I attack, if I was not careful there, Greninja could have taken a lot of damage… I have to try something else.'

"Use bone rush!" Ashura shouted as he crossed his arms across the front of his torso.

Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history!

Lucario crossed his arms and then made two white bones appear, after that, the aura pokemon jumped into the air and charged down against the water type that was waiting patiently for Ash to make his move so that he could also do something about it.

Walk through fire, walk through water…

"Now double team!"

"Gren gren gren!"

"RIO!" Lucario landed on the ground and growled in frustration when he noticed that the water type that he just uncrossed his blades on was just a decoy. "Lucario…" Lucario muttered as he looked around and then closed his eyes. The entire scene went black around the aura pokemon until there was one blue figure that was approaching from behind one of the rocky blue spikes: the real Greninja. "Luca!" Lucario shouted as he turned around and charged towards where he sensed the real pokemon.

Used to be a slave...

"Now Greninja, aqua blade!" Ash shouted as he made the appearance of the weapon in his hands. Lucario swung down only to be met with a dark blue kunai that stopped him from proceeding any further. "Now's our chance," A mirage image of Ash said as he pulled back his other fist. "Aerial ace!"

But now you are a conqueror...

Greninja made his limb glow white and mimicked his trainer as he slammed the super effective flying type move into the chest of the fighting type. "NINJA!" Greninja shouted as he pushed back Lucario to be in front of his trainer.

Ashura and Ash were then shown on the left and right respectively while commanding their pokemon to make their next attack: "Dragon Pulse!/Aqua Blade!"

The scene slowed to slow motion as the dragon shaped beam was launched into the airborne frog that had his dark blue blades out. The two slowly approaching each other like an assassin attempting to slay a threatening beast. You can take my heart you can take my breath!

WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD CHEST!

The scene speed up as Greninja was shown with gleaming eyes as he entered the dragon's mouth and then made the entire dragon type move shatter into a view of many different shades of blue, red, and purple that scattered throughout the stadium filled with cheering people, who were enjoying the insane entertainment.

This is how we rise up!

"Aura sphere!" Ashura shouted as Lucario made his ball of energy appear right in front of him in his arms as he held it out just as Greninja was coming with his blue blades sparkling in the night sky.

Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train!

"GREN!"

"RIO!"

"BOOM!" Shortly after the gap closed, the pokemon both fell back in front of their trainers having taken some damage because of how powerful the shockwave was.

Ashura looked at Lucario with concern, noticing the fighting type breathing hard as he stood in front of his trainer, "Lucario, are you alright?" Lucario looked back at his trainer and nodded knowing that he could still go on.

This is how we rise up!

On the other hand, when Greninja landed in front of Ash and fell to his knees, his trainer also winced and grabbed his chest in pain. "Greninja, stay strong, we can keep going!" Ash shouted as both trainer and pokemon raised back to their feet with a little bit of difficulty. His heart was pounding against his chest, something that made him feel stressed, but at the same time, he was enjoying this battle, his intoxication to the adrenaline had him excited and most of all sweating: A droplet ran down his cheek and to his neck, but it was keeping him alive…

Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder!

"Aura sphere again!" Ashura shouted as he punched the air in front of him.

Magic!

Ash reached for his back and then made his next command: "Greninja, water shuriken! You can do this!"

Static!

Lucario charged up his attack once more, but this time he shot it forward with amazing speed as it spiraled towards the frog ninja pokemon, who reached for his back and swung his arm around to throw the navy weapon against the sphere, which caused the two attacks to collide in the middle of the field and cause an explosion that sent dust and smoke in all directions until both Ash and his father were shown gritting their teeth with their fists clenched beside them until...

Call me a fanatic!

Aura sphere managed to overpower the shuriken and was headed straight for Greninja, whose eyes were gleaming from the approaching attack, but Ash was quick to cross his arms in front of his face as if he was carrying blades, "Aqua blade!"

It's our world, they can never have it!

"NINJA!" Greninja shouted as he sliced the entire sphere in half to the point that it shattered completely as the very fluid state of the blades was shown in the hands of the ninja frog.

This is how we rise up…

"Alright, Greninja go!" Ash shouted as he pumped both of his fists and looked up at the air.

It's our resistance, you can't resist us!

"Ninja!" Greninja shouted as he jumped with a fist in front of him, the entire stadium and battlefield visible as the Kalos water starter reached the highest point that he could from a single jump.

Up up up up up…

"Now double team!" Ash shouted as he spread his arms out. Ashura gritted his teeth and a little bit of the color in his face was gone as he watched Greninja split into the many copies of himself that was looking like he was about to launch a large attack right at him. "Take this, a taste of everything that Greninja and I have got, WATER SHURIKEN!" The raven haired trainer exclaimed with a smile as he reached behind him.

We're rising up up up up up (the voice of the unheard)...

"Gren!" Greninja chanted as he took the shuriken behind him and made it glow white before it turned into a shiny red color and grew to a size that was at least eight times the size of Greninja himself. "Gren… NINJA!" Greninja shouted as he pulled back his arm and then swung it forward to launch the large shuriken forward.

Rising up up up up up…

We're rising up up up up up (love is the answer)...

"Dodge it and propel yourself into the air with aura sphere Lucario!" Ashura shouted with an urgent voice as he looked directly at his pokemon.

Rising up up up up up….

We're rising up up up up up (love is the answer)...

"Luca!" Lucario shouted as he jumped and then made the aural attack slam into the ground to make him go airborne to the height that the large water shuriken only landed in front of the older trainer with a large explosion that sent the entire battlefield to be covered in dust that instantly started to clear once again.

This is how we rise up...

Ashura then flipped his hat and looked forward with a smile and gleaming eyes: "This is over now! Lucario send it right back at him with copycat!"

"RIO!" Lucario shouted as the large red shuriken formed on top of his raised hand while spinning violently. "LUCARIO!" Lucario exclaimed as he looked like he was about to throw the entire shuriken forward.

It's our resistance, you can't resist us!

"Gren?" Greninja asked as he landed with a fearful look in his eyes.

Ash looked at the attack that was about to be launched right at them, forming fists with his hands that shook in place because of the stress. The raven haired trainer took a deep breath and was about to accept defeat before he shoved his hands into his pockets and felt the fabric again, to which he remembered: "I won't give up, not now!" Ash declared as he looked around the battlefield with his hand with the fingerless glove right under his chin, the keystone glistening to the dark environment on it. Looking around, Ash then had no chance but to try something risky: "Greninja, listen up, act quick, use aqua blade on one of those spikes and then throw it at the water shuriken!"

THIS IS HOW WE RISE UP!

"Ninja!" Greninja shouted as he used his speed to get to work in cutting down the biggest spike he could find with his two blades, which were so sharp that they sliced through the stone like a knife cuts butter.

HEAVY AS A HURRICANE, LOUDER THAN A FREIGHT TRAIN!

"Luca… RIO!" Lucario shouted as he thrusted the attack forward with all his might, the shuriken making his way towards the sinister water type.

THIS IS HOW WE RISE UP!

Greninja already had his bright blue spike which he had in both of his arms because it was so big to carry. "Gren… NINJA!" Greninja shouted as he was swinging his body about to throw the spike at the large attack.

HEART IS BEATING FASTER, FEELS LIKE THUNDER!

Ash then gasped as he had a flashback of what happened during his battle against Calem, time seemed to slow down as Ash then noticed the glistening shuriken on Greninja's back while doing the throwing motion with his body. "BOOST IT WITH WATER SHURIKEN!"

MAGIC, STATIC, CALL ME A FANATIC!

"NINJA!" Greninja shouted as he threw the spike forward while at the same time losing his balance, but that did not stop the frog ninja pokemon from grabbing the water type ninja star from behind his back and spin around to throw it once more before his body touched the ground on its back. Greninja was then lying there hoping that what he did was enough to stop the incoming attack as he looked up at the incoming shuriken and his attack that were about to collide as he could not do anything anymore, but hope... Hope that his contraption would work.

IT'S OUR WORLD! THEY CAN NEVER HAVE IT!

THIS IS HOW WE RISE UP! Ash looked up with gritted teeth and clenched fists as he watched the two attacks struggle, his spike boosted by water shuriken creation against the giant red shuriken launched by the opposition. IT'S OUR RESISTANCE!

YOU CAN'T RESIST US! Guitar solo continues.

"ZING!" Ash stared in awe as the giant water shuriken then got completely penetrated to the point that the spike went right through it while making a clean cut. Greninja watched with gleaming eyes as both halves of the red ninja star exploded at his sides while completely avoiding the frog ninja pokemon as the spike then shot through the air.

"Luca?" Lucario asked in mid air while watching the spike with the smaller ninja star being propelled right at him, his eyes gleaming with a bright light as the attack got closer and closer… "BOOM!" There was a clear explosion in mid air as Lucario began falling from the air and then landed with a large thud. Guitar solo ends…

There was an eerie silence in the entire stadium as both pokemon were on the ground with their chests rising and falling slowly. Lucario and Greninja were both on the ground, still on their superior forms while looking up at seemingly nothing in the night sky, that was coated with blue stars.

"Lucario!"

"Greninja!"

Both trainers called out to their pokemon and feeling inspired by this:

"Gren… ninja…" Greninja muttered as he sat up and got back up to his feet with his feet a little wobbly, but still with some energy left.

Lucario seemed to take some time as well, but he managed to get on his feet as well, "Luca… Lucario…" Lucario muttered as he also was feeling drained, but seemingly able to continue battling.

"Let's finish this with our next attack!" Both trainers shouted as their pokemon nodded in response.

Second guitar solo starts.

"Lucario, AURA SPHERE!" Ashura shouted as he mimicked his pokemon's action to form a sphere of fighting type energy.

"Luca…." Lucario shouted as he charged up his attack with all his might, a seemingly blue aura encapsulating the fighting and steel type as he made the attack bigger and bigger to the point that he was holding it over his head with both of his arms, the ball was at least eight times bigger than Lucario as he held it charged up on top of him with both of his arms. The energy spiraling from the attack was unmatched as it created a wind that radiated through the stadium.

Ash's eyes gleamed in the darkness of the sky as his fists shook with excitement as he raised his hand into the air, the one with the keystone that was glistening in the fingerless glove. Ash's energy was also notable as his hand shook violently while being held in the air: "GEKKOUGA! MIZU SHURIKEN!"

"KKKKKOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!" Greninja shouted as he grabbed his shuriken from behind and raised his hand as well. The shuriken began to glow a bright white color as a torrent of water shot up from the sides of the frog ninja pokemon and made the shuriken grow to be large as well. The ninja star spun faster and faster until the torrent disappeared and the red color of the energy was imminent… But Greninja was not finished as he then made another battle cry that made the stadium somewhat shake, the shock wave being sent just about everywhere. "KKKKKOOOOUUUUUGGGGGGAAAAAA!" Greninja exclaimed as the shuriken the began to glow white and spin so fast that it then grew once more to be even bigger and a very metallic golden color.

"LUCARIOOOO!" Lucario shouted as he shot forward the large sphere of energy towards the frog ninja pokemon.

Greninja pulled back his hand and following his trainer's movements, threw the shuriken forward: "GGGEEEEEEKKKKOOOOUUUGGGGAAAAA!"

Both attacks met in the middle of the stadium and stayed there causing a shockwave and the entire battlefield to be covered in a bright light…

Suddenly, the aura sphere dissipated into an explosion that caused a tremendous shock wave that pushed Greninja and Lucario back while sitting up and looking at the tremendous clash of power in the middle of the battlefield. Ash and Ashura looked at the explosion with gleaming eyes, knowing that this was very much it…

Suddenly, through the midst of the bright light: Ash was pretty sure he saw a golden blur reach the other end of the field before the light got so bright and…

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!"

Guitar solo ends.

At the stands:

The explosion was so loud and bright that Serena had to grab Kapi and shield herself along with the others next to her. The honey blonde was stressed to the point that she was not expecting the ending to actually put her in danger. Similarly, the others next to her were shielding themselves and any pokemon that they had around, but it seemed to not be enough as even Serena could feel the drastic increase in temperature from the heated collision.

After a while, Serena felt that the situation had calmed down, so she looked up to find that there was a bunch of smoke coming from the middle of the battlefield and the darkness had returned. The scoreboard also flickered on and off a couple of times before finally staying on, but it was clear that the damage may have completely destroyed the battlefield and maybe even the entire stadium's foundation by how the building was rocked around.

"PI! PICHUPI!" Kapi shouted into the quietness with a very desperate tone in her voice.

Serena began to shake in fear for Ash's safety and held her ribbon very tightly with an extremely concerned look on her face.

From his angle, Night also had to back away from the railing to protect himself from the explosion that had happened nowhere near him. From the sound of it, it was almost like an atomic bomb, and clearly he did not want to have to deal with that at all. Still, the explosion sent him and Jolteon a little farther away, but when he got the courage to look back he was not surprised to see the entire battlefield covered in smoke so that nothing was visible. "Oh gosh, please both of them be alright," Night whispered to himself as he looked down at the battlefield.

Professor Sycamore and Diantha had also shielded themselves, but they were disappointed to find out that the smoke had covered the entire battlefield. They stayed silent as they watched the smoke begin to clear, but obviously, it was going to be a close battle, if there even was a winner after that…

In Alola:

Hau and his classmates stayed completely silent as they looked at the screen. Apparently the woman (Malva) narrating the battle had to retreat during the time of the explosion, but as soon as they returned to go back to the scene that was supposed to be the battlefield: The jaws of everyone in the class dropped.

At the battlefield:

Ash looked up from his trainer platform, he had not noticed that Pikachu had come back to his side, and as soon as he noticed it he had enough time to grab the electric type just before the explosion got dangerous. As the smoke cleared, the raven haired trainer looked forward from his place and noticed through the smoke that there was a standing figure in front of him.

"Ninja," Greninja said, still standing to the surprise of the Kanto native trainer.

"Lucario," Lucario said as he stood across from Greninja with the same expression on his face as the latter.

Ash and Ashura both looked with gritted teeth forward waiting to see if anyone would fall…

"Greninja…" Greninja muttered as he fell to his knees while his synchronization with Ash turned into water which landed on the rocky ground below.

Ash also flinched as he fell to his knees as well while gritting his teeth, "Greninja, stay strong buddy…"

"Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted while trying to support his trainer that was on the ground panting hard. Ash then dared look forward towards his father's pokemon, that was still standing as well on his mega form.

"Lucario," Lucario said as he nodded with a… smile? Ash looked at the fighting type with a confused expression until he was in awe watching as Lucario closed his eyes and began to fall forward. "Rio…" Lucario muttered as he lied on the ground unconscious while a swift white glow appeared briefly, removing the mega evolved pokemon from his superior state as well…

At this point, there was only one difference between the two pokemon: Greninja was catching his breath while Lucario was out cold…

Ash's ears could not even comprehend the next couple of words that came from a seemingly immortal referee: "Lucario is unable to battle, which means that Ash Ketchum from Lumiose City is the champion of the Lumiose Conference!"

The stands instantly were inundated with cheers as the scoreboard displayed that Ash was the winner of the match with his face above the word: "Champion!"

Ash then looked up with gleaming eyes as the battlefield turned back into a normal flat ground field and the sun began to shine from above once again.

A/N: Aight, there you go, the conclusion of the battling part of the Kalos League and guess what! ASH FRICKING WON!

I guess here is where I said that I enjoyed writing all of these battles, and also, keep in mind that I was not meaning for Greninja vs Lucario to be around 7k words long xD!

Anyways, next time Ash will get his long awaited reward for his amazing skills and you will not want to miss his reaction after his little moment to recollect himself!

Remember to R & R and I hope to see you guys next time!
