Chapter Three
"Pi ka chuuuu!" Screamed Pikachu as he shot a bolt of electricity at the still sleeping Ash.
"OW! I'm up, I'm up!"
And so Ash, Brock, and Misty sat down to have breakfast. Even though this was Misty's home, Brock was forced to cook because let's face it, he's the best cook.
"Well Ash, I wish you luck in your next nine battles, and I'll see you at the Commissioner's Cup."
"Bye Misty."
"See ya Misty."
"Chu Pika!"
As Ash and Brock headed southward toward Saffron, Ash once again began to strategize for his next gym battle. Let's see, Sabrina uses psychic type pokémon. Which means that Leavanny, Heracross, and Krookodile have the type advantage. That's three pokémon. I should be all set.
"So Ash, you ready to take on Sabrina? Because last time you barely beat her."
"I'll be fine Brock. I've got the whole battle planned out."
"You'd better. We've arrived at Saffron City."
Saffron City, of course, being the largest city in Kanto. The Silph Co. Building dominated the sky as it was the tallest building in Kanto and located in the dead center of Saffron. Saffron being the dead center of Kanto. As Ash and Bock made their way to the gym in northern Saffron, Ash thought back to how his last battle went. I couldn't beat Sabrina without Haunter's help. But now I have pokémon that resist and are even immune to psychic. I wonder if she still has that Haunter?
"Well Ash, we're here."
"Good. I can't wait to get the psychic coin."
"Then you just need eight more in order to participate in the Comissioner's Cup."
"Well. Let's get the second coin. Right Pikachu?"
"Pi chu ka!"
"Hello Ash. I had a vision that you'd come for your coin, and I am ready to battle."
"Hi Sabrina! I'm ready to battle too!"
And so Ash and Sabrina made their way to the battlefield. Brock sat down in the bleachers, and Sabrina's dad stepped up to the referee box.
"This will be a three on three battle between Leader Sabrina and challenger Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. Since this is a battle for a comissioner coin there will be no substitutions on either side. The first side to lose all three of his or her pokémon will lose the battle. Ready and begin!"
"Go, Gardevoir!"
"I choose you, Leavanny! Take out Gardevoir like you did Starmie!"
Once more, Leavanny took to the field. After being healed by Nurse Joy, Leavanny was once again ready to lead Ash's team to victory. On the opposite side of the field stood a human like pokémon. They two pokémon sized each other up.
"Alright Leavanny. Start strong with x-scissor!"
"Dodge and use signal beam!"
Gardevoir neatly side stepped Leavanny and fired a signal beam that hit Leavanny square in the back. Leavanny was sent hurtling to the floor from the super effective attack, but he was able to get back up and on e more assumed a battle stance.
"Way to go Leavanny. We can still win this. Use string shot to tie up Gardevoir and then use x-scissor!"
"Leav!"
Sticky string erupted from Leavanny's mouth and quickly tied up Gatdevoir. Leavanny started to run at Gardevoir when Sabrina called out another attack.
"Psychic. Stop that Leavanny in its tracks!"
"Gar!"
"Try to overcome it Leavanny. Break through that psychic!"
"Leav!"
Due to the fact that Gardevoir was tied up, her aim wasn't what it usually was. Leavanny was able to break free from psychic and attacked Gardevoir with multiple x-scissors in a quick frenzy. When Leavanny stepped back, Gardevoir lay on the floor with swirls in place of her eyes.
"Gardevoir is unable to battle. The winner is Leavanny."
"Good job Ash. My Gardevoir is one of my most powerful pokémon. I don't usually use this next pokémon in battles, but I'll make an exception for this battle. Go, Gengar! Sludge bomb!"
A shadowy, purple pokémon appeared on the field and launched filthy sludge at Leavanny who was too tired to dodge.
"Leavanny is unable to battle! Gengar wins!"
"Return Leavanny! You deserve a nice rest. Hey Sabrina, did that Gengar evolve from the Haunter I gave you?"
"He sure did. I mostly just play with him. But he really likes to battle so I'll use him occasionally."
"Okay then. In that case, go Krookodile!"
"Krook!"
A giant crocodile like pokémon appeared on Ash's side if the field wearing sunglasses. Krookodile started growling when he saw Gengar.
"Crunch!"
"Energy ball Gengar!"
As Krookodile rushed at Gengar, Gengar summoned green energy in the shape of a sphere and chucked it at Krookodile. As the energy ball collided with Krookodile, Krookodile was sent hurtling back to Ash's feet. Krookodile then manages to get back up and roared at Gengar who just smirked in return.
"We need a fast attack. Use ariel ace!"
"Power up another energy ball!"
Once more, green energy was summoned in Gengar's hands. Before he could attack though, Krookodile slammed into him causing Gengar to lose his focus. The energy ball was dispelled.
"Now use crunch!"
Still stunned from the aerial ace attack, Gengar was unable to dodge Krookodile's gaping jaw.
"Gengar is unable to battle. Krookodile wins!"
"Good job Krookodile. Only one more pokémon to go!"
"And this is my most powerful pokémon. Go Alakazam! Use miracle eye!"
"Ala."
Alakazam stated down Krookodile who shivered in response. A purple aura surrounded Krookodile which cause the dark stripes on his body to disappear.
"Ash! Miracle eye is a move that allows psychic type moves to hit dark types! Your Krookodile is no longer immune to Alakaza's psychic abilities!"
"Thanks Brock. I guess we can still use dark type moves though. Crunch once more!"
"Stop the croc with psychic and smash it against the battle field!"
As Krookodile starting running towards Alakazam, Alakazam's eyes and spoons started to glow. Krookodile stopped in its tracks as an unfamiliar energy surronded him. Krookodile was then picked up and smashed against the floor which resulted in a dust cloud. When the smoke cleared, Krookodile was knocked out on the floor. Its dark stripes had also returned.
"Krookodile is unable to battle. Alakazam wins. Both truainers are down to one pokémon."
"I choose you, Heracross!"
A beetle like pokémon appeared on the field. Heracross brandished its horn before revealing its wings. Heracross then proceeded to hover in the air.
"Use mega horn!"
"Stop it with psychic!"
Heracross was stopped mid flight and was unable to move. However, Heracross wasn't sent hurtling back like Krookodile. The two pokémon were locked in a stand still. Heracross refusing to move back and not able to move forward. Alakazam able to hold Heracross in place but unable to send him back.
"Keep pushing Heracross! You can do it!"
Ash's words of encouragement were the catalysts that Heracross needed to overcome Alakazam's psychic abilities. Heracross rammed into Alakazam with its glowing horn, knocking out Alakazam with one hit.
"Alakazam is unable to battle. Heracross is the winner. Sabrina is out of usable pokémon. Which means the winner is the challenger Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."
"Excellent job Ash. Here's the psychic coin."
In Sabrina's hand lay a small light purple coin with the words The Commissioner's Cup engraved along it.
"Woo hoo! We just won a psychic coin!"
"Ash, I'd also like you to have this egg I found near Gardevoir recently. You gave me my Gengar so I think it's fair that I also give you a pokémon. Take good care of that egg and the pokémon that hatches from it!"
"Thanks Sabrina!"
And with that, Ash and Brock made their way towards Vermillion City and the ferry that would take them to the Johto region.
Author's Note:
Hello all. This is my first fanfiction so constructive criticism is welcome. Would you guys like more descriptions of Ash's journey from city to city because I feel like I'm skipping from battle to battle. Please let me know and keep sending me suggestions. I listened to gamesharker and gave Ash a new pokémon. Well egg but you know. Next chapter will introduce a new arc, have Ash regroup for Johto, and revisit Gowly my OC. I have huge plans for this story. Getting the coins and competing in the Cup is only part of the story. Please leave a review. You cannot imagine how amazing it feels to get reviews. Thanks
-The Commissioner
