Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me

(Ichigo's voice) Outcome of Surprises

Ichigo and Uryu's battle continues on with them using Bronzong and Weavile. It's hard to tell where this battle is going, but we're about to find out.

"Weavile, let's give them your Shadow Ball." Ichigo said and Weavile was charging up the attack.

"Flash Cannon." Uryu said. Bronzong charged up its own attack. The two of them launched their attacks and caused an explosion to go off.

"It looks like the two attacks are even."

"Weavile use Agility." Ichigo said. Weavile increased its and was running circles around Bronzong with images surrounding it.

"Now what are they doing?" Uryu questioned.

"Now use Fury Swipes." Ichigo said. Weavile jumped from all directions and slashing against Bronzong.

"It looks like Ichigo is trying to chip away Bronzong's energy bit by bit." Rukia said. "However, just one attack from Bronzong could be enough to beat Weavile." Weavile kept slashing against Bronzong even though Bronzong isn't affected by the attack so much.

"Bronzong use Gyro Ball." Uryu said.

"Bronzong!" Bronzong generated some energy and spun around with Weavile taking a hard hit and sliding against the ground.

"Weavile, are you okay?" Ichigo asked and Weavile was struggling to get back up.

"Weavile got hit by a super effective move, but it still holds the strength to keep battling."

"Not for long. Bronzong, end this now with Flash Cannon." Uryu said. Bronzong charged up the attack and fired it.

"Dodge it, Weavile!" Ichigo said as he was afraid this attack could end it. Weavile was able to use the speed boost from Agility and avoided the attack just in time.

"What timing! Weavile was able to avoid the attack."

"That was close." Orihime said as she released a breath she was holding.

"I'm not sure how much of this battle I can take." Yuzu said. "It's taking so long and Ichigo could lose another pokemon at any moment."

"It's good that he was able to hold on, but another attack on Weavile and it could all be over." Rukia said.

"Then he better not let that attack hit." Isshin said.

"Weavile use Shadow Ball." Ichigo said. Weavile shot out the dark orb and Bronzong got blasted hard.

"That Shadow Ball looks like it was a critical hit. Maybe Weavile still has a chance."

"There's no way I'm going to be defeated. Bronzong, go in the air." Uryu said. Bronzong floated up in the air to gain some distance from Weavile. "Now use Solar Beam." Bronzong took aim through its opening and was starting to absorb sunlight.

"Bronzong is starting to absorb sunlight. Clever gaining distance from Weavile to avoid interference."

"How's Weavile suppose to battle back?" Orihime questioned.

"He can't like that." Tatsuki said. "We're just going to have to hope for the best." Bronzong continued to absorb sunlight and soon it was fully charged.

"Weavile, get ready to move." Ichigo said.

"Fire!" Uryu said. Bronzong fired the beam and was heading straight for Weavile. An explosion went off and Uryu couldn't tell if Weavile got hit or not. "It's got to have worked." Bronzong went down and tried looking around for Weavile.

"Weavile use Shadow Ball." Ichigo said. Weavile jumped through the smoke and showed it was able to avoid the attack.

"No!" Uryu said.

"Weavile!" Weavile unleashed the attack and Bronzong got hit hard. Bronzong dropped down and was appearing to be beaten.

"Bronzong is unable to battle. Weavile is the winner." The referee said.

"Unbelievable!" Uryu said as he didn't think Bronzong could actually lose.

"Nice going, Weavile." Ichigo said and Weavile was pretty proud of himself.

"Ichigo's defeated Uryu's fifth pokemon. Now Uryu has only one chance left."

"Yes. He's down to only one pokemon. Ichigo is going to win." Orihime said as she and some of the others believed so.

"Don't count on it just yet." Chad said.

"Uryu's last pokemon…..I'm sure you all remember who it is." Rukia said and everyone was getting nervous for Ichigo.

"Lucario, I choose you!" Uryu said.

"Lu!"

"Uryu's final pokemon is Lucario. Does Uryu have what it takes to turn this around or is Ichigo going to end this with one of the three remaining pokemon he has."

"Weavile, start with your Ice Shard." Ichigo said. Uryu formed a shard of ice and shot it at Lucario, but Lucario leaned towards to the side and avoided the attack.

"You'll have to do better than that." Uryu said.

"You asked for it. Weavile, Agility!" Ichigo said. Weavile started running much faster and surrounded Lucario.

"Nice try. Lucario, focus on Weavile's aura and use Focus Blast." Uryu said. Lucario sensed Weavile's aura to predict where Weavile was going to be. Lucario found him and powered up the attack. Lucario unleashed the attack and Weavile got blasted.

"No! Weavile!" Ichigo called out. The dust cleared away and that was it for Weavile.

"Weavile is unable to battle. Lucario is the winner." The referee said.

"That's it for Weavile. Now Ichigo is down to only two pokemon."

"Weavile, return. You did your best." Ichigo said as he switched his pokemon around. "Gallade, you're back in this!"

"Gallade!"

"Ichigo brings back in his Gallade. Will Gallade have better luck?"

"It won't make any difference." Uryu said. "Lucario, how about we show them your Rock Slide." Lucario generated rocks and sent them flying at Gallade.

"Dodge it and use Leaf Blade." Ichigo said. Gallade jumped over the rocks to get some extra air. Gallade appeared over Lucario and came down at it with its attack, but Lucario was able to block it.

"Lucario use Aura Sphere." Uryu said. Lucario blasted Gallade at close range and did some damage. Gallade slid against the ground, but was able to get back up.

"You won't beat Gallade like you did last time. Gallade use Vacuum Wave." Ichigo said. Gallade powered the attack and released the shockwave.

"Now use Focus Blast." Uryu said. Lucario focused up the attack and released it with the two cancelling each other out. "Now use Extreme Speed." Lucario used some incredible speed and slammed against Gallade.

"Gallade use Close Combat." Ichigo said. Gallade kept the battling going and pounded Lucario around, but Lucario was enduring all the attacks.

"Lucario use Aura Sphere." Uryu said. Lucario released the attack and blasted Gallade again.

"It's an onslaught of attacks. How much can both sides take?"

"Now use Rock Slide." Uryu said. Lucario generated the rocks and they all came down on Gallade and buried him under it all.

"Lucario is relentless." Renji said.

"It's strategy." Rukia said. "Uryu knows Gallade is Ichigo's best chance of beating Lucario, even if Absol hasn't battled yet. Uryu is trying to get rid of Gallade as quickly as possible." Gallade climbed out of the rocks, but Uryu wasn't stopping.

"Finish this with Aura Sphere." Uryu said. Lucario build all the power needed and shot the sphere. Gallade got blasted and he was taken out.

"Gallade is unable to battle. Lucario is the winner." The referee said.

"This is it. It's all tied up with both sides only having one pokemon left." Ichigo returned Gallade, but he was not backing down from this battle.

'Uryu's the toughest trainer I've ever went up against. If I don't beat him, my whole journey might be for nothing.' Ichigo thought. Absol stepped forward and was ready. "Absol, win this."

"Absol." Absol went out and was ready for this battle.

"Ichigo's last pokemon is Absol. Can Absol be enough to defeat Lucario or has Uryu already won this battle?"

"So we've reached the final battle. I think this will prove once and for all who's way is better." Uryu said, but Ichigo was a little surprised.

"Is that what this is about? You have issues." Ichigo said. "We have different ways of being trainers, Uryu, that's true. That shouldn't mean we have to settle things like this. We should just battle for the fun. You love your pokemon and they love you. We might not agree, but that's just fine."

"You certainly are a strange one, but I think I see your point." Uryu said. "So let's settle this." Both of them held up their keystones ready to unleash their full power.

"Mega evolve!" All the energy was unleashed and transferred to Absol and Lucario for them entering their mega forms.

"Oh my! Both pokemon have mega evolved! We're in for a "mega" battle."

"Lucario, you can finish this with one shot and that's Aura Sphere." Uryu said. Lucario generated the aura attack and released it.

"Absol, dodge it and use Night Slash." Ichigo said. Absol was able to avoid the attack and charged right at Lucario and was able to land his attack. "Now use Razor Wind!" Absol unleashed the attack and blasted Lucario with it.

"Absol is at a disadvantage, but Lucario took too much damage from battling Gallade. This will come down to endurance." Uryu said. "Lucario use Focus Blast."

"Swords Dance!" Ichigo said. Lucario unleashed the attack, but Absol generated the swords and was able to block the attack.

"Now use Extreme Speed." Uryu said. Lucario charged right at Absol and slammed a kick against him and caused Absol to crash into the wall.

"Absol, are you all right?" Ichigo asked and it looked like Absol could keep the battle going. "Use Dark Pulse." Absol unleashed the attack and Lucario got blasted with him being pushed back. "Now use Night Slash." Absol charged in and slashed against Lucario.

"Nice try. Lucario use Aura Sphere." Uryu said. Lucario blasted Absol and did a lot of damage. "Now use Rock Slide." Lucario generated all the rocks again and they all crashed down with Absol getting buried.

"Absol!" Ichigo called out and it looked like it could have been the end.

"Absol!" Absol released some of its power and was able to break free and Uryu was surprised.

"How?! How can Absol keep battling?!" Uryu said.

"It's because we both believe in each other. Absol use Razor Wind!" Ichigo said. Absol unleashed the attack and Lucario got hit hard by the attack. "Full power Dark Pulse!" Absol charged up the attack to its full power and released it all. Lucario got caught up in the attack with a fierce explosion going off. Ichigo waited to see the results. Lucario was still standing, but only for a few seconds. Lucario dropped down and reverted back.

"Lucario is unable to battle. Absol is the winner. Victory goes to Ichgio."

"Ichigo wins and is moving to the semi-finals!"

"Yeah! We finally beat Uryu!" Ichigo said. He ran over to Absol and hugged Absol nice and tight with his friends and family cheering for him. "Thank you, Absol. You really are amazing."

"Lucario, thank you. Rest up." Uryu said as he brought Lucario back. "I actually enjoyed this. A surprising ending, but at least I have a better understanding of Ichigo." Uryu might have lost, but it actually felt pretty nice this time.

"I think I might have my opponent." Joseph said. The remaining battles went on and only four were left.

"Now, it's time for our semi-final matches." They randomized the remaining four and showed that Ichigo was against Joseph.

"Joseph!" Ichigo said.

"I knew it. Ichigo, get ready for a real tough battle." Joseph said.

Ichigo might have succeeded in finally defeating Uryu, but he's not done yet. Now he must defeat Joseph if he wishes to win the Unova League. Can he pull this one off as well? We'll find out soon enough.
