Author's note
Alright I got a pretty clear message that you guys didn't like the last chapter very much. I admit It was a little rushed and I shouldn't have had 4 pokemon evolve in it. The thing is I realized that most of them should have evolved at this point in the story and decided to try and get it out of the way for some of them.
For Ash's Charmander and Serena's fennekin I wanted them to evolve together and when Ash and Serena started dating. But I knew Red's charmander had to evolve first. So that's how it happened. In retrospect it was a bad Idea and I'm sorry.
I have also gotten complaints about how Purrlion was affected by a physic type attack. Look I am sorry but It's been a while since I got in a physic type vs dark type matchup in the games first of all , second of all the anime doesn't always follow that rule either. Ash's swellow took like 30 thunderbolts and didn't get knocked out when Ash was trying to catch him. I also got complaints about how many moves the pokemon knew. That was my fault I guess I forgot how young they are suppose to be compared to my other stories. I will try to stay more on top of their moves and type effectiveness in the future
But in the end I did want the main focus of the chapter to be on Ash and Serena's first date so I feel bad that you guys didn't get to enjoy that as much as you did.
I have considered redoing the last chapter but nobody has made an major complaints about it so I think I'll just learn from my mistakes and never try to cram so much into one chapter. So to make up for it I decided to have another episode following the beloved original anime. Also I can tell you this chapter will focus a lot more on Red since I haven't really given him a chapter for himself yet.
Anyway sorry again for what happened in Ch 15 and please enjoy Ch 16

Chapter 16: Pokemon Scent sation
Ash , Serena , and the others were sitting around a table at a breakfast dinner's outside seating as they looked over a map of the city.
"I've been looking over the map and I think I found a place that's called the battle club" Red said.
"Battle club?" Serena said.
"Trainers from all around Kalos are members and battle each other there. I was thinking we go there and get some more battle experience with more experienced trainers" Red said.
"It would certainly help us get ready for our next gym battle and your next battle chateau" Ash said.
"You've got a point, I did loose pretty early on in the last one and some more experience couldn't hurt" Serena said.
"If there are a lot of good trainers there maybe I can find you a wife brother!" Bonnie said. Clemont who was drinking a cup of coffee choked a little a spilled some onto his hand.
"Oww" he cried clutching his now burnt hand.
"Clemont I think you just need to accept that she's not going to stop" Red said. Clemont sighed.
"Well I'm ready to go if you guys are" Ash said. The group got up and started following Red down the streets of Nummel city.
"So I'm guessing you guys had a great first date last night" Clemont said. Serena and Ash both blushed a little before Serena took Ash's hand.
"You could say that" Ash said.
"Well It's good to see you two finally dating" Red said.
"I know, you two make such a cute couple" Bonnie said. Before Ash or Serena could respond Pikachu smelled something good.
"Pika" Pikachu said as his nose twitched a little. Before Ash could notice this Bonnie , Clemont, and Serena all smelt it as well.
"What is that heavenly aroma" Serena said.
"I smell it too!" Bonnie said.
"What are you guys talking about?" Red said.
"How can you not smell that haunting aroma" Serena said. Pikachu jumped down from Ash's shoulder and ran towards the direction of the smell.
"Pikachu what are you doing?!" Ash said chasing after him with the others. Pikachu led them across two streets before he stopped in front of a shop.
"Pikachu why did you just run off like that?" Ash said.
"Pika" Pikachu said sounding very happy as he continued sniffing towards the shop. Ash and the others looked up at the shop and saw a sign that said "the scent of Kalos".
"The scent of Kalos?" Red and Ash said.
"Wait I've heard of this place! It's a famous perfume shop!" Serena said.
"Perfume" Red said very unenthusiasticly.
"We have to go inside!" Bonnie said as she ran through the door.
"Bonnie wait!" Clemont said as he ran in after her. Inside the shop there were several young women and a few young men with some pokemon like Vivillon and Floette. A young woman was working with some ingredients made from plants while a Floette used aromatherapy into the ingredients.
"Excuse me miss" Bonnie said. The girl turned around and saw Bonnie, who quickly got on one knee.
"Will you marry my brother"She said. The girl didn't even know what to say back.
"Bonnie!" Clemont screamed as he ran in and grabbed her with his robotic arm.
"I'm so sorry". Serena and the others came in after Clemont. Pikachu fell in love with the smell of perfume all around the shop.
"Wow I've never smelled perfume this good before" Serena said as she took in a large whiff.
"Welcome to The scent of Kalos, can we help you?" one of the young women said as she walked up to Serena and the others.
"Actually were looking for by Pikachu who ran in here" Ash said. The girl and two of the others saw Pikachu, who had climbed onto a counter next to a Vivillon using aroma theropy into a large bowl of mixes ingredients another girl was working on.
"Pikachu get down from there" Ash said.
"Oh it's alright , you're pikachu has very good tastes" one of the girls said.
"How do you make such good perfume?" Bonnie said.
"It's simple really" Another voice said. They turned to see a young woman a few years older than them with short blue hair and green eyes. She had her hair done in a more traditional fashion with very old and ceremonial cloths on.
"My name is Erika and I'm the owner of this shop".
"Hello I'm Serena, this is my boyfriend Ash and his brother Red".
"Hello nice to meet you" Ash said.
"Uh hello" Red said.
"I'm Clemont, this is my sister Bonnie". Erika and the others looked at Clemont strangely. Clemont soon noticed Bonnie was no longer in his robotic arm.
"Huh!" .
"Clemont " Red said pointing behind Clemont. Clemont turned around to see Bonnie proposing to another girl for him.
"Bonnie no!" He screamed as he ran back towards her.
"Your perfume is so amazing, how do you do it?" Serena said.
"We use only the finest ingredients and mix them with auromatheropy. It not only makes our perfume smell heavenly, but it also relieves the user of any discomforts".
"I really! Would you mind if we tried some?" Serena said.
"of course not" Erika said. Serena let out her Braixen who immediately took in a deep whiff of the smells around her and smiled. Erika sprayed some perfume around Braixen who seemed to look very relaxed and comfortable after being sprayed.
"Uh Serena remember we have to get to the battle club" Red said.
"But there is so much here I still want to see".
"Of course, you can't leave without seeing and smelling more of our fine products". Erika said. A young man and woman came up to Serena with two vials of perfume.
"Just try this you'll love it" The young man said. Red was now getting very bored and restless.
"Ash, let's just go to the battle club. We can meet up with them later" Red said.
"What about Pikachu ? I can't go there without him" Ash said as PIkachu sat on Serena's shoulder and happily smelled some of the perfume being sprayed on Serena.
"He's happy enough here, besides what about your other pokemon. They deserve to have some battles" Red said.
"Maybe you're right" Ash said. Ash turned to Serena and Pikachu.
"Guys Red and I are going to head to the battle club, we'll meet up with you there later".
"Oh come on Ash, stay here with us", "PIka pikachu" Serena said taking Ash's hand. Ash blushed a little and turned to Red who gave a very disappointed look at him.
"Red I".
"Ash don't do this to me, I'm your brother".
"Red I'm sorry but I think she overrules you" Ash said as Serena rested her head against his shoulder and kissed his cheek.
"Alright fine I'll go alone!" Red said as he turned towards the door.
"Wait you can't leave yet!" one of the young man employees said as he got in front of Red and sprayed perfume on him.
"Uh could you please not do that".
"Please you have to tell us how you feel about our product" Erika said.
"Trust me you don't want my opinion" Red said.
"Please we have to know how you feel, you're not leaving until you do" The boy said as he sprayed Red again. Red's face turned red with anger and he grabbed the bottle of perfume from his hand.
"You want to know what I think . Fine, I hate perfume! I think it smells horrible, it's a waste of time and money, and demasculates men" Red said as Ash and Clemont were sprayed with perfume. Erika and her employees all looked very upset.
"Well I'm going to have to ask you to leave" Erika said.
"Hey you asked for my opinion and I warned you" Red said as he walked out of the shop. Red made his way across the streets towards the battle club. Before he reached the battle club he let out his four Pokémon.
"Alright guys looks like were going to be alone in the battle club. The others wanted to stay at some stupid perfume shop". Charmeleon shook his head in disappointment.
"It's alright we're going to have a great time and get plenty of experience today. By the time we were done we'll be more than prepared for Grant".
"Char!", "Pan!", "Noi!", "Fletch!".
"Alright let's go". The battle club was a very large building colored green and red. In many ways it resembled a Kanto style gym. When Red and his Pokémon went to the front entrance he saw two boys wearing grey uniforms like outfits and a girl wearing a similar one but orange.
"Uh excuse me , my name is Red I'd like to enter the battle club". The girl and boys turned to Red and gave him very angry expressions which confused him.
"Uh is everything all right ?".
"We wouldn't let you in if you are the last trainer on earth"the girl said.
"What?" Red said as his pokemon gave confused looks as well.
"We don't allow trainers who say such horrible things about perfume" one of the boys said.
"What?!" Red said.
"The perfume shop you insulted is owned by the same person who owns the battle club" The girl said.
"So let me get this straight. Because I voiced my opinion about perfume you're not going to let me in" Red said.
"Anyone who can't appreciate perfume must be a pathetic trainer and his pokemon must be even more pathetic" The girl said. Red was now enraged.
"Hey! Who do you think you are insulting my pokemon like that!" Red shouted.
"You heard us you're pokemon must be weak, worthless" One of the boys said. Red's pokemon sighed and dropped their heads a little.
"You take that back right now!" Red scramed
"Look buddy why don't you just leave before we have you removed by for" one of the boys said as he tried to grab Red. Red quickly grabbed the boy by his arm and forced him to the ground while holding his arm behind his back.
"Trust me I would do that if I were you" Red said.
"Hey let him go!" The girl said. Red released the boy and walked off with his pokemon. Red sat under a tree with his Pokémon beside him.
"It's one thing to insult me like that but to insult you guys my Pokémon. They're not going to get away with this. I've got it, we're going to get in there and find the person who's in charge. Then we're going to show them just how good you guys are!" Red said.
"Char!", "Pan!", "Noi!", "Fletch!". Red returned his pokemon and went back to the battle club by the rear entrance. There was a large wall put around the back to keep burglars out.
"Hmm , ten foot wall, please they're not going to keep out Red Ketchum. I've got the skills of an aura warrior". Red quickly climbed a tree that was near the wall. When he was high enough Red walked across a branch and then jumped across onto the top of the wall. Once he was on the wall Red saw two members below walking towards an entrance.
"If I tail them I can get inside" Red said to himself. He quietly followed the two boys towards the back entrance and climbed down. As the second boy walked in he didn't shut the door but allowed it to close itself, thus allowing Red to sprint over and catch it before it shut.
"Bingo". When he walked in he noticed that the two boys were the same ones who were at the front.
"So when I got home Phillis called me and" One of the boys started before Red put him in a sleeper hold and knocked him out. The other boy almost screamed before Red hit him in a pressure point on his neck , knocking him out.
"Huh I guess all those years of training with Felix really paid off. I almost wish I could be a full aura guardian , imagine what I could do then" Red said. He saw that there was a box of cloths near one of the boys. The cloths were the same as the ones the two boys were wearing as well as gray hats.
Red put on one of the uniforms and hats to disguise himself from the girl at the front and anyone else that might recognize him.
"Now I just need to find out who's in charge here and challenge them to a battle" Red said. He was about to leave the room when he realized that the two boys were just lying on the ground unconscious.
"That could be a problem" Red picked them up one at a time and stuffed them into a closet.
"There" Red walked into the main area of the battle club. The main area was composed of several large battlefields with members facing each other in Pokémon battles. There were also a snack bar, a small lounge, and a few other attractions.
"This could be harder than I thought" Red said as he walked around looking for whoever was in charge of the battle club. As Red walked by a battlefield he heard a few familiar voices.
"Tyrunt ancient power!" Red slowly turned to see Ash and his Tyrunt standing on one side of a battlefield facing off against a member of the battle club.
"Ash! what is he doing here?" Red said now nervous. Tyrunt roared as he unleashed a furry of massive glowing rocks at the Barbacle he was facing. When Barbacle was hit with ancient power he stumbled backwards .
"Dragon tail before he can counter!" Tyrunt sprinted forward and smashed Barbacle across the chest with his tail knocking him out.
"Barbacle is unable to battle the winner is trainer Ash" another member was acting as referee said.
"Great job Tyrunt!" Ash said.
"How did Ash get here before me?" Red said before he noticed Serena and Furfrou on another battlefield.
"Diggersby use mudshot".
"Furfrou dodge and use headbutt", Furfrou ran forward quickly changing directions every few feet to avoid the incoming mud shots. Once he was clear Furfrou rammed into diggersby knocking him out.
"diggersby is unable to battle, the winner is trainer Serena".
"Excellent job Furfrou! Truly excellent!" Furfrou ran back to his trainer and licked her across the face.
"Wait a minute if Ash and Serena are here then where are Clemont and Bonnie?" Red said. He saw Ash and Serena walk over towards a group of younger kids sitting around a young women who was reading them a story.
"And the Nidoran reunited with her mother and they lived happily ever after". Red noticed Clemont and Bonnie were sitting among the kids. Red noticed Bonnie get up and walk towards the young woman with the storybook without Clemont noticing.
"Whatever you do don't laugh" Red said to himself.
"So Bonnie did you like the story? Huh Bonnie". As the young women put the story book down she noticed Bonnie standing in front of her.
"Oh hello" She said.
"You're really pretty miss will you marry my brother!" Bonnie said as she got down on one knee. The young woman was very weirded out. The other younger kids started laughing as Clemont's face turned red.
"Bonnie!" He screamed as he ran up and grabbed her.
"Bonnie you can't keep doing that to me!".
"But brother how else will I find you a wife" .
"If I get too close they'll recognize me and blow my cover, I just need to keep my distance".
"Hello" Red heard from behind him. He turned around to see another club member standing behind him.
"Oh uh hello".
"Are you new to the battle club, I don't recognize you" he said.
"Oh uh yes I just uh joined, my name is uh James".
"Oh well welcome to the battle club James, I'm Cade let me introduce you to the other new members" he said.
"Wait you don't have to" Red started.
"Oh look the head trainer is here" Cade said. The immediately caught Red's attention as he looked where Cade was pointing. To his surprise he saw none other than Erika standing by Ash and the others with an Umbreon beside her.
"Wait a minute she's the head trainer here?" Red said.
"Yup she's a part owner with her brother. She's also the most skilled trainer here other than her brother".
"Wait who's her brother?" Red said.
"His name is Chris, he use to battle here all the time with her until he got accepted into the Kalos officer academy".
"So I just need to beat her" Red said to himself.
"Hey Erika , guys this is another new member James!" Cade shouted. Erika and the others turned to Red who quickly tried to conceal his face.
"Welcome to the battle club James, I'm Erika the lead trainer here" She said as she walked up to Red with the others.
"Nice to meet you I'm Ash".
"I'm Serena".
"I'm Clemont and this is my sister Bonnie".
"Uh nice to meet you guys" Red said trying to make his voice sound differently. Pikachu climbed onto Ash's should and stared at Red strangely.
"PIka".
"Oh I almost forgot , this is my partner Pikachu".
"Pika Pikachu" Pikachu said looking closer at Red.
"What is it Pikachu?" Ash said. When Ash looked back at Red he noticed that he looked very familiar.
"You look familiar, have we met before?" Ash said.
"Um uh nope I've never met you before" Red said.
"Are you sure, you do seem familiar" Serena said.
"Uh maybe you met my brother" . Meanwhile Bonnie was by Erika's umbreon.
"Ohh Erika you're umbreon is so cute" Bonnie said.
"Thank you Bonnie, Umbreon is my closest friend" Erika said as she knelt down next to Umbreon and petted him.
"Really" Serena said.
"Yes, you see when I was a little girl in Lumiose city I got lost going through streets a lot. One day when I got lost in a back alley a raticate came at me. I was more scared then I had ever been in my entire life. That was when an eevee came through the alley and saw I was in trouble. When I asked him for help he quickly ran in and knocked out the raticate. Ever since then he and I have been close friends".
"Wow that's an amazing story" Serena said.
"Over the years Umbreon and I have competed in many battle Chatuea tournaments".
"Really! We've started competing in Battle Chateau league. We're Baronesses and Barons. What rank are you?" Serena said.
"I'm a Marquis so I've never competed in the grand festival. I mostly compete in them to keep my skills sharp for teaching other members".
"A marquis, that was the rank Viola and Grant were at. So she has to be at least as good as a gym leader" Red said to himself. He was about to challenge her when he saw Pikachu standing in front of him.
"Uh oh".
"PIka pikachu".
"PIkachu is everything alright?" Ash said.
"PIka pikachu" PIkachu said as he looked at Red one more time before realizing it was him.
"Pika!". Red sweatdropped as he said quietly.
"Pikachu knock it off". Pikachu was now a little angry.
"Pika Pikachu!" He said and shocked Red with electricity.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted. When He stopped the hat Red was wearing had fallen off.
"I'm so sorry James I, wait a minute Red?" Ash said.
"Hey Ash".
"Wait a minute you're that boy who insulted perfume!" Erika said.
"Yeah it's me " Red said.
"Why did you disguise yourself?" Serena said.
"Because these jerks wouldn't let me in because I stated my opinion about perfume".
"What?" Ash and Serena said looking back at Erika.
"Well it is my lively hood and you took a nice swing at it" Erika said.
"Well It's not why I snuck in here. After I was told I couldn't enter your little henchmen told me I was a pathetic trainer and my pokemon were even more pathetic and nobody talks to my pokemon like that. I snuck in so I could find out who was in charge and beat them in a battle".
"Wait a minute they said you're pokemon are pathetic. Erika your friends really said that to him" Serena said.
"Well pokemon take from their trainer, any trainer who can't appreciate perfume is pathetic, and his pokemon the same" Erika said.
"Erika you really think that way?" Clemont said.
"Of course, but if you really want to face me Red I'd be more than happy to put you in your place" Erika said.
"I don't care what you say about me, but when you take a swing at my pokemon you'll regret it" Red said. Red stood at one end of a battlefield while Erika stood at the other. Most of the battle club had gathered around to watch the match.
"I can't believe Erika would say those things to Red, she seemed so nice" Serena said.
"If there's anyone who can show her not to underestimate their pokemon it's Red" Ash said.
"Let's do this Fletchinder!" Fletchinder came out and Squawked at Erika.
"Time to teach this boy a lesson, go Dodrio!" Erika said as she sent out a large Dodrio who squawked at Fletchinder with all 3 of his heads.
"Fletchinder use quick attack!".
"Dodrio use agility".
"Fletchinder double team". Dodrio quickly increased his evasiveness but Fletchinder created a dozen copies of himself that all came at dodrio from different directions. Dodrio didn't know which one was the real Fletchinder and couldn't avoid them all, thus he was hit by quick attack.
"Great job Fletchinder!" Red said as his pokemon flew back.
"Hmm that was somewhat impressive but you've still got a lot to learn kid".
"Fletchinder use steel wing"
"Dodrio catch his wings with two of your beaks then use steel wing".
"Fletchinder double team".
"Dodrio double team!". Fletchinder's wings turned to steel before he made a dozen copies of himself. Unfortunately Dodrio also made a dozen copies of himself. All of dodrio's copies clashed with all of Fletchinder's copies making them all disappear.
"Oh no" Red said. Diodrio caught Fletchinder by his wings with two of his heads beaks. Once Fletchinder was secure Dodrio slashed him with his steel wings.
"Hmp you see kid, now follow up with furry attack".
"Fletchinder use razor wind to break free" Fletchinder quickly blasted dodrio across his 3 heads with razor wind allowing him to break free from Dodrio and flew backwards several feet.
"Quick attack !" Erika shouted. Dodrio sprinted forward and slammed into Fletchinder knocking her back to the ground.
"Peck!" Before Fletchinder could get back up he was hit with all three beaks.
"Dam he's to fast, I can't let Fletchinder down. Wait that's it. Fletchinder use steel wing!" Fletchinder squawked as he slammed his wings into Dodrio's heads. Dodrio stumbled backwards feeling a bit disoriented.
"Fletchinder flame charge!" Fletchinder covered himself in fire before flying at Dodrio as fast as he could.
"Dodrio quick use double team" Erika said. Dodrio regained his composure but was to late to use double team. Fletchinder hit Dodrio dead in the center of his chest knocking the larger bird out.
"Dodrio is unable" The referee said.
"Alright Fletchinder great job!" Red said.
"Great job Red!" Ash said.
"H'mm luck seems to favor you today" Erika said as she returned her Dodrio.
"Fletchinder get some rest you've earned it" Red said as he called back Fletchinder.
"Go Zangoose!" Erika said.
" I choose you Noibat". Noibat came out as Zangoose did.
"Noibat use supersonic".
"Zangoose use protect into quick attack". Zangoose covered himself in a green barrier as Noibat unleashed a piercing wail. The supersonic reflected off protect and once Zangoose was safe he sprinted forward with incredible speed hitting Noibat.
"H'mm nice try" Erika said.
"Alright that won't work. I've got it, noibat use agility into wing attack".
"Zangoose use X scissors". Zangoose tried to slash noibat but his agility made him to difficult to hit. When Zangoose missed with X scissors Noibat hit Zangoose.
"Zangoose use slash".
"Noibat use agility into air cutter". Noibat quickly moved around very quickly as Zangoose slashed at him with his right claw but missed. Once noibat was clear he sliced Zangoose with his wings.
"Zangoose use leer" Zangoose's eyes glowed blue as he blasted Noibat with leer lowering his defenses and momentarily stunning him.
"Quick use crush claw!" Zangoose printed forward and crashed his claws into noibat knocking him out.
"Noibat is unable to battle".
"Ha , My point shows" Erika said.
"Noibat return, get some rest you fought well".
"Zangoose well done, return" Erika said.
"Alright I know we can do this go pancham!" Red said.
"I'm counting on you, go Croagunk". A blue frog with an menacing looking face came out of Erika's pokeball.
"What is that?" Red said as he opened his pokedex.
"Croagunk the toxic mouth pokemon, Its cheeks hold poison sacs. It tries to catch foes off guard tojab them with toxic fingers."
"A poison and fighting type, lets try and break his defense. Panchamp use leer". Pancham's eyes glowed blue as he hit Croagunk with leer. Despite being hit with leer Croagunk seemed unfazed as he kept staring at Pancham.
"Croagunk use taunt" Croagunk raised his fingers together and motioned them towards himself in a mocking tone. This made Pancham very angry.
"Pancham don't fall for the taunt!" Red shouted.
"Taunt?" Serena said.
"Now that Panchams been hit with taunt he can't use status moves like leer until it wears off" Ash said.
"Croagunk use poison sting". Croagunk jumped up and sprayed a furry of poison stingers at Pancham.
"Pancham quick move backwards". Pancham did as Red said and stayed one step behind where the stingers landed.
"Croagunk use poison jab".
"Karate chop pancham!" . Croagunk sprinted forward with his right hand glowing purple. Pancham saw this and prepared himself to strike croagunk. When the two pokemon clashed they unleashed their attacks at precisely the same time. Both pokemon were knocked back by their opponent's attack.
"Croagunk use mud bomb".
"Pancham move forward but change directions ever few feet then use arm thrust". Croagunk jumped into the air and unleashed several explosive pounds of mud at the ground near pancham. Pancham did what Red said and moved in a different direction every few feet to avoid the mud bombs. Once he was close enough pancham slammed his arm into Croagunk knocking him to the ground.
"Croagunk use venoshock!" Croagunk quickly got up and blasted pancham with a blast of poison.
"Pancham!" Red shouted as Pancham struggled to get up.
"Finnish him Croagunk poison jab".
"Pancham you can do this! Use karate chop!". Pancham mustered up all of his strength and got up as croagunk came in front of him with his right hand raised. Pancham quickly slammed his right arm into Croagunk as Croagunk jabbed his hand into Pancham.
"Pancham!".
"Croagunk!". Both pokemon fell over and were unconscious.
"Both pokemon are unable to continue".
"Croagunk return".
"Pancham return, you fought well".
"Time to deal him another blow, go Zangoose" Erika said as she sent her Zangoose back out.
"We can do this I know we can. I choose you Fletchinder!" Fletchinder came back out and squawked at Zangoose.
"Zangoose hit him with leer".
"Fletchinder use growl" Fletchinder unleashed growl at the same time Zangoose used leer.
"Nice try Erika" Red said.
"Alright then if you're going to do that Zangoose use slash".
"Fletchinder use double team into steel wing". Fletchinder quickly made copies of himself as Zangoose slashed through one of the copies.
" Zangoose use detect into crush claw". Zangoose tightened his senses and prepared himself. When the real Fletchinder tried to use steel wing Zangoose moved out of the way. When Fletchinder was directly in front of Zangoose , Zangoose crashed his claws into Fletchinder hurling him to the ground.
"Great job Zangoose follow up with slash".
"Fletchinder use ember into steel wing!". When Zangoose ran at Fletchinder , Fletchinder got up and opened his beak unleashing a small burst of fire. When the ember hit Zangoose it didn't stop him, but it did slow him down. Thus Fletchinder had enough time to get up and slam his wings into Zangoose.
"Great job Fletchinder". Zangoose stumbled backwards but regained his compose and growled at Fletchinder.
"Zangoose use quick attack into crush claw".
"Fletchinder use flame charge" Fletchinder covered himself in fire and flew at Zangoose as fast as he could. When the two collided Zangoose was hit but managed to slam his claws into Fletchinder. Both pokemon were knocked out by the end of the collision.
"Zangoose and Fletchinder are unable to battle".
"Fletchinder return, you battle well rest up".
"Very impressive work Zangoose. Well kid I've got bad news you have to take on my most powerful pokemon. Go Umbreon!" Erika's umbreon ran from her side to the battlefield.
"This won't be easy but I know we can do it. I choose you Charmeleon!" Red's charmeleon came out and roared at Umbreon.
"A charmeleon? Where did you get that?" Erika said.
"Professor Sycamore, he was my starter pokemon and is my closest friend".
"Well maybe this one will put up a decent fight. Umbreon use sand attack".
"Charmeleon use ember stop that sand" As Umbreon splashed some sand towards Charmeleon, the fire lizard swung his tail forward and sprayed the area in front of him with fire from his tail. The fire burnt up the sand before it could hit Charmander.
"Impressive but lets test how good his reflexes are. Umbreon use quick attack".
"Charmeleon intercept him with dragon claw" Charmeleon tried to slash Umbreon but he was too fast, he hit Charmeleon and backed up before Charmeleon could use dragon claw.
"Dam he's fast".
"Umbreon use faint attack".
"Charmeleon use flamethrower try and aim for his legs". Charmeleon opened his mouth and shot a jet of fire low towards Umbreon's feet. Umbreon , however, was able to jump clean over the flames then rushed behind Charmelon before hitting him with faint attack knocking him down.
"Charmeleon!" .
"Geeze that's one fast Umbreon" Serena said.
"Don't give up Charmeleon!", "Pika pikachu!".
"Umbreon use assurance". Umbreon ran forward and prepared to unleash assurance.
"Charmelon I know you can stop him!". Charmeleon's mouth lit up with fire as he got up. Just before Umbreon could reach Charmeleon, Charmelon opened his mouth and caught Umbreon in his fangs.
"Woah I think Charmeleon just learned Fire fang" Ash said.
"ALright great job Charmeleon!"Charmeleon hurled Umbreon back a few feet.
"Nice try but we're far from beaten. Umbreon use quick attack".
" Charmeleon use ember right in front of you" Charmeleon swung his tail in front of him creating a small wall of fire.
"Oh that's not going to work, Umbreon slid on the ground then use faint attack" Umbreon slid under the fire and knocked Charmander off his feet.
"Charmeleon quick move!" Charmeleon tried to get up but Umbreon quickly hit him in the back with Faint attack.
"Charmeleon grab her with scratch then use fire fang!" Umbreon tried to move back but Charmeleon sunk his claws into Umbreon's back legs then bit down on his body.
"Great job Charmeleon you can do it!".
"Your pokemon are better than I thought, but there's one thing you lack. Empathy for your pokemon. Umbreon use assurance into Shadow ball". Umbreon smacked charmander in the face with assurance forcing him off his legs and body. Once charmander was off him Umbreon conjured up a ball of dark ghost energy and blasted charmander with it.
"Charmeleon can you get up?" Red said as Charmeleon struggled to get back onto his feet.
"That's one powerful umbreon" Serena said.
"Red you can't give up now" Ash said.
"No we won't give up. Charmeleon and I are partners, we've been through some tough battles but we've never given in and we won't start now. I don't care how good you are I'm going to stick with Charmeleon until the end!" Red shouted. Charmeleon roared as the fire on his tail exploded into an inferno.
"What the?" Erika said.
"It's blaze! Alright Charmeleon use flamethrower!" Charmeleon unleashed a massive jet of fire towards umbreon.
"Umbreon quick use quick attack" Umbreon used quick attack to avoid the flamethrower and get in close.
"Charmeleon swat him with your tail!" Charmeleon smashed his tail into Umbreon hitting him with the inferno on the end and knocking Umbreon in front of him.
"Fire fang!" Charmeleon viciously snatched Umbreon in his jaws before Umbreon could get back up.
"Finnish him with flamethrower!" Charmeleon hurled Umbreon to the ground then engulfed him in a jet of fire. When the flames cleared Umbreon was on the ground knocked out.
"Umbreon is unable to battle, wait that means that this kid beat Erika" The ref said in confusion. Many of the club members watching were dumbstruck that Erika had lost.
"We did it ! We won!" Red said as he sprinted over and picked up Charmeleon in his arms.
"I knew we could do it. I'm so proud of you", "Char!".
"H'mm Umbreon you fight very well. Get some rest". Erika walked over to Red with an apologetic look on.
"I must congratulate you Red, perhaps I was wrong to judge you and your pokemon. Please accept my apology".
"It's my pokemon you need to apologize to" Red said.
"Fair enough, I'm very sorry Charmeleon. Do you forgive me?".
"Char char!" He said nodding.
"Great job Red you and your pokemon battled incredibly" Serena said.
"Yeah you were awsome" Ash said.
"Thanks guys".
"Well you are welcome to come here anytime you want Red. Even if you do have the wrong opinion about perfume" Erika said. The others laughed a little.
"Wait a minute, one thing still bothers me. How did you get in here and where did you get that uniform?" Erika said. The two boys who Red knocked out walked over towards him dizzy.
"Hey that's the guy who knocked us out"
"You knocked them out!" Erika said.
"Yeah" Red said sweat dropping.
