Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. If I did, then Ash would win everything.

A/N: Here we go first part of the semi-finals. As most six on six matches it will be split into two parts. Here is the first part. Hope you enjoy.

Secluded Spot Indigo Complex

Ash was deep within the small forest. He wanted to make sure that Princess and Darkrai were ready for their big debut if they were needed. Ash had been wondering what attacks to teach Darkrai. He discovered from a chat with the legendary that it could use elemental attacks. So now they were working on his thunderbolt. Ash watched as Darkrai tried several times to form an orb of electricity between it's hands. On the third try it hit a few trees with a thunderbolt attack, scorching the trunks of the trees. "Good Darkrai and again. Thunderbolt!" Darkrai once again formed an orb of electricity and again scorched the tree trunks. "Excellent work Darkrai it seems you have mastered that attack, now lets see what else. Can you learn Ice beam?"

Darkrai floated in front of Ash. "I think I can use that attack father." Darkrai then focused on making a beam of ice energy. Just like the thunderbolt however this time it formed an orb of light blue energy. Darkrai then fired the beam and the same trees that he had scorched using thunderbolt were now frozen. Ash was really pleased. He was about to ask Darkrai to do it again when he felt Princess tug on his sleeve.

"Daddy, when are you going to train me?" Ash turned and looked at Mew. He didn't know if he had to train Mew, she could use any attack, however maybe the could work on her endurance.

"Well I am not sure what I can teach you, but we can do some work on your endurance. Your main weaknesses are Ghost, Dark and bug. So are you up for some serious training?" Ash watched Mew spin in mid air.

"You bet. Bring it on." Ash nodded and then turned to Darkrai. Seeing how he was already out then it was best to start with dark attacks. "Okay Darkrai, I want you to use dark pulse at minimum power and fire it at your sister. Slowly increase the power with each pulse. Princess if it gets to much then you tell me. Okay?"

Mew just giggled and floated ready in front of Darkrai, "Daddy why don't I use aura sphere on Darkrai, we can then both build up our resistant to our weaknesses."

Ash scratched the back of his head. Why had he not thought of that? "Good idea Princess. Okay let Darkrai hit you with dark pulse, and then you return an aura sphere with the same amount of power. Then slowly increase your attacks until it gets too much for you." Ash watched with Pikachu on his shoulder. Knuckles was sat up a tree nearby just keeping a look out. Ash didn't want anyone finding out about these two so if there was anyone nearby then he would recall them quickly. "We all still clear Knuckles?"

Knuckles took a quick look around the forest. Slowly his eye glowed blue and he scanned the nearby area. This was his aura sight. This allowed him to pick up anything that gave off an aura. At the minute all he saw was a few wild Pokemon, but no humans. Slowly the glow left his eyes. "All clear father, just a few wild Pokemon, dotted here and there. No other humans anywhere near here."

Ash turned back to see Mew and Darkrai ready to spar. "Okay you two let's get this show on the round. Darkrai use dark pulse, minimum power, Princess counter back with aura sphere minimum power." Ash watched as Darkrai sent out a dark pulse which hit Princess causing little damage. She then fired a small aura sphere back at Darkrai, which caused the Dark Pokemon to wince a little. Ash could now see the power difference between the two, however he expected Princess to pack more of punch as she was an original legend. Darkrai had only been recently formed so it was no where near as experienced as Princess was. The two carried on trading blows until Ash could tell Darkrai had suffered enough. "Okay Princess stop now, Darkrai had enough." Ash went to his bag and then pulled out a bottle of hyper potion. "This might sting a little Darkrai, but you will feel better in no time." Ash then sprayed the various marks on Darkrai, healing his battle injuries. After a little while Ash could already see his strength returning. "Okay Darkrai, you take a nice long rest." Ash pulled the Darkness Pokemon poke ball off his belt then recalled it. He then turned to Princess. "Can you still battle Princess, or do you want to rest as well?"

Mew shook her head. "No I am fine daddy. Bring on the next one." Ash pulled a ball from his belt. Next test was bug endurance. He opened the Poke ball and Scizor appeared before him. "Okay Scizor I want you to use X scissors and Night Slash at minimum level on Princess. We are trying to build up her resistance to her main weaknesses. At the same time she will be using flame thrower on you, so if it gets too much then let me know and I will stop her. Okay?"

Scizor hopped from one foot to the other. "Will do boss. You ready sis, Because here I come." Scizor caused its pincers to glow dark green, it then slashed them in a x which flew towards Mew. The attack hit but didn't seemed to cause much damage. Scizor then crossed it's pincers as he received a scorching flame thrower for his troubles. However thanks to his fire endurance training he was able to take it no problem. Scizor then caused his pincer to glow with a dark purple aura. He then slashed across at Mew, who was forced back just a little. Again however she returned a flame thrower, this time a little bit stronger. Scizor gritted his teeth but still was able to resist it.

Ash watched as both Pokemon continued to trade attacks. Finally he noticed Scizor fall to one knee. " Okay Princess that is enough. Good job. I think we should call it there for today. You both need to the rest as I am taking both of you into the semi-finals. With you will be Darkrai, Gengar and Knuckles and finally Dragonair. Pikachu wants to sit this one out." Ash then tended to all his Pokemon battle injuries. Once they were all healed he recalled each one till only Pikachu and Knuckles were out with him. The Three then left the forest and walked back towards the main complex where no doubt Sabrina and Brock would be waiting for them.

Next day Main Arena

Ash stood opposite his opponent. Last night he had done some research on this girl. Her name was Jessica and she was from the Hoeen Region. So Ash was certain she would have some native Pokemon with her. Ash stood ready. He had been training this morning as well so hopefully it would be enough to beat this trainer and advance to the final. Ash looked to the crowd and saw Sabrina, Brock, his mum and professor Oak. However it was the orange haired girl next to the professor that made him smile. Misty had come to watch him. Ash adjusted his cap. He then surveyed the battle field. He knew as this was a six on six contest then the battle ground would change once three of either trainers Pokemon were knocked out.

Jessica looked across at her opponent. Like Ash she had been doing some studying of her own. She had watched all of Ash's battle and knew she was up against some tough competition. However hopefully a few of her Pokemon would surprise him a little. Jessica watched the referee stand on the outside of the field and raised both flags. Show time.

"This is a semi-final battle between Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, and Jessica Mason of Rustboro city. This is a six on six contest. All clauses are in effect. Once three of either trainers Pokemon are eliminated, the battle field will change. The match will then continue until all of one trainers Pokemon are knocked out. Trainers send out your first Pokemon."

Ash pulled a ball from his belt. "Go Scizor!" Scizor appeared on the field ready for battle.

Jessica threw her own ball on the field. "Go Sceptile!" Jessica's ball opened up to reveal a green Pokemon. It had two long arms and two legs and a serpent like face. On each arms were green shape leaves and its tail fanned out like a peacock.

Ash had never been to Hoeen before, but he could tell, just by the looks of this Pokemon that it was grass type. Ash watched as the referee raised both flags.

"Sceptile Vs Scizor. Begin."

Ash decided to test just how durable this Pokemon was. "Scizor use Bullet Punch!" Scizor zipped across the field and appeared in front of the grass type. It then delivered several metal punches before returning back to Ash's side of the field.

Jessica had been expecting that this Scizor would know bullet punch, however being a priority move there was no way to dodge it. "Sceptile use Swagger!" Sceptile sent a wave of energy at Scizor. The effect would cause Scizor's attack to rise, however it would be confused and there was high possibility that it would attack itself.

Ash watched the wave come towards Scizor. "Counter with Protect!" Scizor formed an blue sphere around it's body and the swagger harmlessly bounced off.

Jessica frowned, so Scizor knew protect. This would be more tricky then she first thought. None of Sceptile's attacks could do much damage especially against a bug/steel type. Still there was no substitutions so she had at least try cause some damage. "Sceptile Leaf Blade!" The leafs on the grass types arms began to grow and glowed green. It then charged across the battle field. And slashed at Scizor.

Ash again waited to the very last minute. "Intercept with Bullet punch!" Scizor charged forward as well. Both attacks colliding with each other, forcing both Pokemon to be pushed back. It was an even match. Ash now knew that Scizor's strength was on par with Jessica's Sceptile.

Jessica frowned. "Sceptile use Sword dance!" Sceptile crossed its arms against its chest. Its attack power then rose.

Ash looked on and grinned. Two can play that game. "Scizor use Iron defence." Scizor raised it's defence power. It then stood ready for an attack.

Jessica frowned they could do this all day. "Sceptile Leaf blade!" Sceptile again charged across the field, however Jessica noticed that Ash wasn't intercepting this time. What was he up to? She soon found out as she heard him shout.

"Good Job, Scizor. Now use Baton Pass!" Scizor glowed white then returned back to it's trainer. Ash then threw a ball on the field. "Go Dragonair!" The ball opened up on the field to reveal Dragonair in all her glory. Thanks to the Iron defence of Scizor, she intercepted the leaf blade with her tail and suffered little damage.

Jessica eyes widened. Now the table had changed. She was facing a Dragonair. At least with Scizor she could guess what move it had. Dragonair however was able to master all sorts of attacks. "Sceptile use Swagger!" Sceptile sent another wave of energy towards Dragonair.

Ash narrowed his eyes. "Dragonair use Safe guard!" Dragonair covered itself in a blue veil protecting it and her team mates from status attacks for three to five turns. The swagger washed over harmlessly.

Jessica gritted her teeth, she was now regretting not teaching Sceptile outrage. Finally she snapped. "Sceptile use Frenzy Plant!" Sceptile glowed green. Thorn vines then appeared underneath Dragonair, causing the Dragon type to wince in pain. However it still stood ready to battle.

Ash couldn't believe what Jessica had done. She had left herself wide open, as Sceptile couldn't move after using that attack. Now it would cost her. "Dragonair use Dragon dance!" Dragonair danced on the field and raised its attack and speed Power.

Jessica growled. She had been so impatient that she had forgotten that Dragonair could use that. Now her Sceptile was recovering she couldn't do anything. She watched as her opponent issued his next attack.

"Okay Dragonair use Dragon Rush!" Dragonair glowed blue, she then charged across the field and hit Sceptile. The grass type was sent sprawling towards the battle field floor. Mark covered its entire body however it still stood ready for battle. Ash was surprised, clearly this Sceptile was tougher then he thought.

Jessica could see the attack had done some serious damage. She admired her Sceptile courage but this was not a battle it could win. "Sceptile use Leaf Blade once more!" Sceptile charged across the field once more. Its arms glowing.

Ash knew this first battle was his. "Dragonair intercept with Dragon rush!" Dragonair charged across the field both dragon rush and leaf blade met head on. However soon the Dragon rush pushed through Sceptiles guard and sent the grass type sprawling to the floor once more. This time it got up on one knee. It tried to get up, however soon fell face down on the field.

The referee raised his flag on Ash's side of the field. "Sceptile is unable to battle the winner is Dragonair. Trainer send out your next Pokemon."

Jessica recalled Sceptile. Luckily she had the perfect Pokemon to take this Dragonair out. "Go Glalie" The ball opened up to reveal a sphere shape Pokemon. It's body made of ice and it had a very scary looking face. Glalie then floated onto the field ready for battle.

The referee raised both Flags. "Glalie Vs Dragonair, Begin!"

Jessica quickly ordered an attack. "Glalie use Ice shard!" Glalie spat out shards of ice which hit Dragonair causing the dragon type to wince once more. These were really hurting her.

Ash frowned. So Glalie was ice type. That attack had seriously hurt his Dragonair. He saw her wince in pain. He had raised her from an egg, and seeing one of his family hurt like that made Ash see red. "Dragonair use Dragon Rush!" Dragonair charged across the battle field.

However Jessica was ready. "Glalie use Double team!" Glalie quickly made several copies of itself. Dragonair charged right into one of the copies missing her target. It smashed into the battle field wall hard.

Ash narrowed eyes. That was it for this round. Dragonair was going to be defeated. Ash heard Jessica order an ice shard. He watched as Dragonair fell onto the battle field with swirl for eyes. Ash recalled his Pokemon.

"Dragonair is unable to battle, the winner is Glalie. Trainer send out your next Pokemon."

Ash pulled Knuckles ball from his belt. "Go Knuckles." The ball opened up to reveal Knuckles. He stood on the field and slowly opened his eyes to reveal a soft blue glow.

The referee raised his flags once more. "Lucario Vs Glalie, begin!"

Ash looked to the field he could see several copies of Glalie on the field. But which was the real one. For now he would set up. "Knuckles use Bulk up!" Knuckle flexed his arms and raised his attack and defence.

Jessica was surprised to see this trainer with a Lucario. She also now knew she was at a huge disadvantage, as Lucario was fighting/steel duel type. Both super effective against an ice type. Still she had one move up her sleeve. "Glalie use Earthquake!" Glalie roared and caused the very earth to shake.

Ash seeing the danger decided to act fast. "Lucario jump and then use Blaze kick!" Lucario waited till the very last second then jumped and avoided the earthquake. It then charged it's foot with a powerful flame and kicked Glalie right in the face. Causing the Ice type to fly back and hit the bottom of it's trainers platform. It then slumped to the ground with swirl for eyes.

"Glalie is unable to battle, the winner is Lucario. Trainer send out your next Pokemon."

Jessica recalled Glalie, that blaze kick had taken her by surprise. She then threw another ball onto the field. "Go Camerupt!" On the field appeared a four legged Pokemon. It had a moose like face, and its back were two humps that look like volcanos."

The referee raised his flag once more. "Camerupt Vs Lucario, begin!"

Jessica decided to start things off. "Camerupt use Over heat!" Camerupt glowed red as it charged up energy in it's body. It then unleashed a wave of intense fire across the battle field.

Ash eyes widened. "Knuckles use Protect!" Although Over heat was a very powerful move, it had one draw back. The user Special attack lowered by half. Ash watched the flames wash over his son's shield. He noticed a red glow signalling Camerupt special attack had fallen.

Jessica frowned. That attack would normally K.O a steel type however this Lucario knew Protect. Now her Camerupt special attack had dropped and the actually attack had done nothing to the steel/fighting duel type. "Camerupt use Roar!" Camerupt let out a huge roar that blasted across the field. Lucario tried to stand it's ground however the attack forced him back into his Poke ball.

Ash now had no clue what was going to happen. One of his Pokemon would randomly appear, any second. This was not what he wanted. He watched as one of his ball lit up and then opened. He face palmed. Not this early. However it was too late. Floating on the field was Mew.

Everyone in the stadium suddenly fell silent. Ash noticed the shock expression on Jessica face, and the stunned expression on the referee face. It seems someone was enjoying the attention however Mew was floating around waving her little paw.

Finally the referee came to his senses. He nervously introduced. "Mew Vs Camerupt, begin!"

Jessica was still standing there mouth wide open, not knowing what to do. This trainer had a legendary Pokemon and not just any, but Mew. The Pokemon that had never been really seen by a human. It wasn't called the mirage Pokemon for nothing. Jessica had one word on her mind. "Fuck!"
