(A.N. You guys ready? It's time for the FINAL SHOWDOWN! I just wanted to say, it's been awesome.)

Nue 2 vs. Michael:

"Umbreon! Use Confuse Ray!" Nue shouted.

"Not so fast! Foretress! Use Protect!" Michael shouted back. All or nothing. Somehow, she doesn't strike me as the item using type... "Fortress! EXPLOSION!"

"Eh? WHAT?!" Nue shouted. "Umbreon, use Moonlight if you survive!"

Foretress charged itself, and detonated, the shockwave slamming into Umbreon and bringing it down instantly.

"Ugh... UMBREON! I've grown quite attached to your Pokemon, Michael... it hurts me you'd attack them so easily. Go, Mightyena!" Nue shouted.

"Come on out, Mantine!"

Nue 1 vs. Wes:

"What... Where are we? How am I floating?" Wes wondered. "What exactly ARE you?"

"Illusion space, Illusion, and you REALLY don't need to know." Nue replied. "Now, then, let's have a 6 on 6 battle. But it won't be against Pokemon!"

[Ominous Clouds: "Heian Dark Clouds" ]!

Red clouds began to gather around Nue, obscuring her.

"Hey, what?!" Wes shouted, seeing what Nue was doing.

"Dodge the attack or attack me without getting hurt. Your decision, Wes..."

At this point, a ton of lasers shot out of the cloud, heading towards Umbreon. Umbreon looked at it like "You've GOT to be kidding me."

"Alright then... Umbreon, use Hyper Beam!" Wes shouted.

The Hyper Beam struck Nue spot on, breaking her Spell Card. "Bravo, bravo!" Nue shouted. "But there's more where that came from. In the interest of tradition, wish to switch Pokemon? If not, you're going to have to recharge... meaning you're going to have to time out this next one!"

"I have faith in Umbreon." Wes responded.

[Unidentified: "Red UFO Invasion of Rage"]!

Red UFO's gathered around Nue, coming out to create red spirals of bullets.

"Umbreon! Dodge through the bullets!" Wes shouted.

Umbreon started to dodge through them, but took several hits to the flank. She eventually stopped shooting bullets, but Umbreon wasn't in the best shape anymore...

Umbreon toppled onto its side.

"ARRRRRRRGH!" Wes shouted.

"Told you. You should have switched. That makes it 2 to 1 for you."

Nue 2 vs. Michael:

"Mightyena! Toxic!" Nue shouted.

A bubbling purple liquid appeared under Mantine. The liquid was so foul that Mantine was badly poisoned!

"Mantine! Confuse Ray!" Michael ordered

There was a purple flash, and Mightyena suddenly didn't look quite so stable anymore, as it staggered around.

"Urgh... Well played, Michael. But I've been around since long before you were born." Nue said. "And I happen to have a surprise up my sleeve to finish this. Mightyena! Swagger!"

No! Not Toxifusion! I hate, hate, HATE this tactic! I've got nothing to counter it with! Michael began to panic.

Mightyena suddenly charged into a wall.

"Arrrgh... Make your move." Nue said, a bit put out.

"Mantine! Use Ice Beam!" Michael shouted.

A jet of ice traveled across the field, smashing into Mightyena and freezing it solid!

"ARRRRGH!" Nue shouted. I knew I should have gotten some items! "Mightyena! Swagger!"

But Mightyena was frozen solid...

"Finish him!" Michael shouted. "Mantine, use Earthquake!"

A powerful quake rocked the field, shattering the ice and KO'ing Mightyena.

"Mightyena! Urgh... I'm down to my last Pokemon. I wonder how my other self is doing?" Nue asked.

Nue 1 vs. Wes

*pant pant* "You... won't win..." Wes said, tired beyond belief.

"That's 2 spellcards out of 6!" Nue brightly fired back. "And now..."

[Nue Sign: "Mysterious Snake Show"!]

Groups of lasers, wriggling like snakes, began to emanate outwards towards Wes's Granbull.

"Geez, you'd think you'd come up with a new gimmick besides lasers!" Wes complained, as Granbull sidestepped them. "Use Earthquake!"

[Nue makes Earthquake miss due to the fact she's FLYING!]

"Damn it!" Wes shouted, Granbull still dodging the lasers.

"Hehehehe... You should know Earthquake can't hit a flying target!" Nue chuckled,

"Urgggh... Granbull! Hyper Beam!" Wes shouted.

"And you complained about ME reusing tactics?! At least MINE are slightly different!" Nue shouted.

[Unidentified: "Blue UFO Invasion of Grief]!

Blue UFO's appeared, along with spirals of lasers! Granbull was starting to look completely wiped from the dodging...

With 5 seconds left in the spellcard, Granbull was struck by a laser, forced into another one, and bounced into several more before it came to a rest. It stood back up as the time limit expired... and then collapsed.

"Well! Looks like this round goes to me!" Nue responded.

Nue 2 vs. Michael:

I can't BELIEVE he's doing so well... Nue wasn't exactly having the time of her life. She was down 2-1 in Pokemon knocked out.

"My last Pokemon! Go, Ursaring!" Nue called.

"Mantine! Confuse Ray!" Michael shouted.

"Ursaring! USE HYPER BEAM!" Nue shouted.

Ursaring delivers a powerful Hyper Beam right into Mantine, KOing it instantly.

"Eh? Wha, wha... Crap, forgot about Toxic!" Michael's confidence evaporated, as all he had left was Gardevoir.

"Urgh.,. Gardevoir! Come out and use Hypnosis!"

Gardevoir popped out and blasted Ursaring to sleep.

"Now... Shadow Rush!"

Gardevoir slammed into Ursaring.

"Again!"

Gardevoir did it again, KO'ing Ursaring.

"Dang, I lost..."

Nue 1 vs. Wes

"Well, this was fun. But you've outlasted my spellcards."

Shadow Pokemon Lab:

"You win... But I've grown kind of attached to these battles... I'm never gonna give you up, Michael..."

Nue abruptly flew down and grabbed Michael. "Which is why I'm going home... AND I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!"

Before anyone could react, a gap in space opened up, and Nue flew through it... taking Michael with her!

I bet you weren't expecting that! Next chapter: Gensokyo Arc begins!
