My Pokémon Story
Kanto story The Pokémon league Final battle
The next day my Pokémon were all chosen and ready to go, on the outside I was ready to battle but in the inside I was nervous, I'd battled a lot here in the Pokémon league not feeling nervous at all but this time was different, because this time I was in the finals against Kirk, a trainer who's done exactly what I've done battled his way all the way to the finals, ignoring the butterfly's in my stomach I went out there to battle.
Connor had his match against the Trainer Kirk beat, a girl named Assunta and he won and won third place.
Now it was time for final match of the Pokémon league, there was me on one side and Kirk on the other we both pulled out our Pokeballs and the battle began.
Kirk chose his fully evolved Pidgeot to battle first and I chose Jolteon.
I ordered Jolteon to use thunder but missed, then Pidgeot attacked with double edge, it was a big hit.
Jolteon then used thunder wave and paralyzed Pidgeot, Pidgeot couldn't move.
Jolteon then used thunder again but this time it was a hit and super effective.
Pidgeot tried to counter attack but still couldn't move then Jolteon finished it off with thunder shock, Pidgeot was unable to battle.
Kirk called back Pidgeot and chose Alakazam to battle.
Jolteon attacked with thunder but Alakazam blocked by using psychic, Alakazam then used disable and Jolteon could not use thunder for a while.
Jolteon then used quick attack, it was a small hit but then Alakazam countered with psychic and it was a big hit.
Alakazam then finished of Jolteon with hyper beam, Jolteon was unable to battle.
I called back Jolteon and chose Pinsir.
Because Alakazam used hyper beam I couldn't move and Pinsir finished it off with guillotine, it was a one-hit KO, Alakazam was unable to battle.
Kirk called back Alakazam and chose Arcanine.
Arcanine attacked with Flamethrower but Pinsir quickly used double team and evaded the attack.
Arcanine then used bite and Pinsir used slash, they were both a hit.
Then arcanine used fire blast and it was a big hit, plus super effective, Pinsir was unable to battle.
I called back Pinsir and chose Tentacruel.
Arcanine attacked with flamethrower while Tentacruel used bubble beam, the two attacks collided in an explosion of steam.
Tentacruel quickly used constrict and Arcanine was stuck in Tentacruel's tentacles.
Arcanine struggled to break free and used bite it was a small hit.
Tentacruel finished it off with hydro pump, it was a big hit and a critical hit, Arcanine was unable to battle.
Kirk called back Arcanine and chose Exeggutor.
Tentacruel attacked with poison sting, but Exeggutor deflected it with psychic.
Exeggutor then used psywave and it was super effective on Tentacruel.
Tentacruel tried Constrict but once again blocked with psychic.
Exeggutor finally used solar beam and it was a big hit Tentacruel, Tentacruel was unable to battle.
I called back Tentacruel and chose Rapidash.
I ordered Rapidash to use fire spin, Exeggutor tried to block with psywave but it was too strong, and it was a big hit on Exeggutor and it was trapped inside it's fiery vortex.
Rapidash then finished it off with Fire blast and it was a big hit, plus super effective, Exeggutor was unable to battle.
Kirk called back Exeggutor and to everyone's surprise he brought out his Aerodactyl.
Nobody had battled using an Aerodactyl before in this whole tournament, and I might be going crazy, but I was almost sure that was the same Aerodactyl from cinnabar island.
I ordered Rapidash to use fire spin but Aerodactyl dodged the attack.
Aerodactyl then used wing attack and Rapidash used take down, both were small hits.
Aerodactyl then used rock slide and it was a big hit, plus super effective.
Rapidash then used fire blast and Aerodactyl used hyper beam, the two attacks collided in an explosion.
When the smoke finally cleared it showed Rapidash was unable to battle.
I called back Rapidash and chose Venusaur to battle.
Venusaur used razor leaf on Aerodactyl used razor leaf on Aerodactyl it was a big hit, but Aerodactyl fought back wing attack and it was super effective, suddenly Venusaur quickly countered and used toxic, Aerodactyl was badly poisoned.
Venusaur started charging up for Solar beam, while Venusaur was charging Areodactyl used wing attack and it was a critical hit plus super effective.
Venusaur fired its solarbeam and Aerodactyl used hyper beam, the two attacks just missed each other and struck hard on each Pokémon, both Areodactyl and Venusaur were unable to battle.
Me and Kirk only had one Pokémon left, we called back our previous Pokémon brought out our last.
I chose Dragonite and Kirk chose Blastoise.
Dragonite used dragon rage and it was a big hit, Blastoise countered with hydro pump, a big hit but not very effective.
Both attacks were just greetings to show off our Pokémon strength, now the real final battle began.
Blastoise first tucked in its head and raised its defence, Dragonite attacked with thunderbolt, it was a big hit plus super effective, Blastoise attacked at full steam with skull bash, it was a big hit.
Dragonite then used ice beam, but Blastoise countered with surf, both weren't very effective.
Blastoise then struck with double edge and it was a big hit.
Dragonite then used thunderbolt but Blastoise evaded the attack and used hydro pump, it was a big hit but not very effective.
Dragonite then used hyper beam but before it hit Blastoise tucked in its head and raised it defence, Blastoise was still standing then charged at full steam with skull bash and it was a big hit but Dragonite was still standing.
Both Pokémon were almost out of HP one more attack would end the battle.
Blastoise struck with surf and Dragonite used thunderbolt, the two attacks collided in an explosion but just before the smoke cleared Blastoise struck with skull bash, Dragonite tried to counter with dragon rage but was too late Blastoise's attack hit and it caused a huge amount of damage.
Dragonite was unable to battle Kirk was the victor, this year's Pokémon indigo league champion was Kirk.
I was in shock as my Dragonite had been defeated but I wasn't upset I felt proud of myself and my Pokémon for making it this far.
I returned Dragonite to its Pokeball as did Kirk's Blastoise and the two off us came to the centre of the ring and shuck hands.
"Congratulations Kirk, you're the clear winner here" I said.
"Thank you, you really pushed me to the edge there thank you, Ian" said Kirk.
As the victor Kirk has now earned a spot in the Indigo hall of fame and earned the right to battle the World Champion Red one day.
That night the closing ceremony began all the trainers walked into the stadium with one Pokémon by their side, each trainer was handed a participation badge to show their hard work at the Pokémon league.
While Kirk, then me and Connor all stood on the podium as the three top ranking trainers in this Pokémon league competition who battled the best.
Connor revived a bronze medal, I received a silver medal, but Kirk received this year's Indigo league trophy.
As the ceremony ended everyone's head looked up to an amazing firework display in the night sky.
That night I made a little campfire in the forest and stared into my third-place medal and thought about all my hard training it took to get here and maybe what I would have done differently.
Suddenly Connor came along and sat down with me and looked into his medal too.
We then told each other stories about our Pokémon adventure and our accomplishments.
And so, my first Pokémon league came to a close although I didn't win, I achieved lifelong friends, but my journey was far from over.
In loving memory of my dead cousin Kirk, you'll always be a champion in our family's eyes.
