ITALIC: THOUGHTS
BOLD/ITALIC: POKEMON SPEAKING THE HUMAN LANGUAGE
(Pikachu): Pokemon speaking there language which only there trainers could understand.
The crowd, Ash's friends, and even their opponent gasped and waited in anticipation as Ash's Pikachu was surrounded by a dark light, they didn't even notice that Lance's Dragonite was driven to the ground by a very powerful Aura combo.
"(What am I, chop liver)?" Dragonite mumbled as he gazed at his trainer, who was still anticipating what would happen next. Truth be told, seeing that small powerhouse evolving was unnerving. It was like another power boost for an already powerful Pokémon. "(Garchomp, you superior little bitch, good luck to you, you're going to need all the luck in the world)." Dragonite mumbled as he felt a shiver run down his spine.
"Cynthia, what do you think is happening?" Lance asked in a curious tone as he gazed at the dark light that was slowly taking shape. He was feeling a bit nervous about that.
"The Dark Spark that Ash and Pikachu used wasn't a special technique but it was a special ability, an evolution of Pikachu's static ability, I think it was a state that allows Pikachu to control electricity in a quantum level, just like what Ash said." Cynthia mumbled as she clenched her fist in excitement. "But I think it wasn't yet complete and Ash was gambling to finish this battleoff with an incomplete technique, which backfired against me and Garchomp. I think the last move that I used allowed Ash to complete the ability." Cynthia stated, excited in what would happen and Garchomp was the same as well as she prepared for the worst.
"You guys haven't fought like this ever since Sarah retired." Lance commented wearily. That expression on her face was the same expression she wore when she and Sarah were still rivals.
"You know, when Sarah retired, I thought nobody could battle me in an equal footing anymore but it looks like I'm wrong." Cynthia whispered as she eyed Ash, who was waiting and expecting for the worst. "Finally, after years of waiting, somebody could challenge me again." Cynthia stated in a very excited tone.
"Yeah, that's good," Lance commented with a chuckle. "You've been a handful for the four of us ever since Sarah retired as an active trainer." Lance stated as they eyed the slowly evolving Pikachu.
(With the group)
"Goddamn, of all the times to forget my camera, why today." Sarah mumbled as she gazed at the dark light that enveloped Ash's Pikachu. "This would have been an interesting research." Sarah commented silently.
"I can't believe it; Ash just discovered another evolution line for the Pikachu's specie." Professor Oak said in awe as they waited for the light to die down.
"I wonder if Cynthia could survive this." Sarah mumbled, knowing full well that even if Cynthia was the superior trainer, Ash's innovation in this battle may make a difference. "I wonder if I could battle Ash and this Pokémon after Cynthia is done with him." Sarah whispered as she shook in excitement. Her excitement for battle was slowly overtaking her. "This feeling, I haven't felt this feeling since that time." Sarah exclaimed as her lust for battle slowly overtook her.
"I want a shot with him," Sarah whispered, tightening her gripped on her Poke ball. "In more ways than one," Sarah then licked her lips in anticipation.
(Back to battle)
"Ash, I don't like this," Elena stated as she gazed at her lover's Pikachu. "The evolution process is taking too long." Elena exclaimed, adding to her discomfort.
"I know but the Aura Pikachu is emitting is stable, nothing to worry about." Ash said as he conjured a shard of Aura Crystal. "Tell Koyuki to back away for a bit and also tell her to put up a barrier between her and whatever Pikachu would evolve in and also trapped Dragonite in a barrier as well." Ash said as Elena shook her head.
"It's that bad huh," Elena said as she gave the order.
"For them anyways, for me, this would be a cakewalk." Ash said as the light died down. Ash chuckled merrily when he heard a loud, earth shattering, bone curling roar echoed in the arena. The crowd gasped as the dark light died down; they gazed and gasped at the sight of the newly evolved, pitch black Pokémon that was sneering at everyone there.
"Wait a minute, that's a….." Elena was interrupted when the Pokémon once again let loose a loud roar, black electricity exploding from its body.
The Pokémon was like a pitch black werewolf, Anubis hybrid. It stood in an intimidating height of seven-feet. His upper body was bulky and was covered in black fur; its head was like the head of an Anubis with a jewel on its forehead, and its legs were also bulky and were covered by crimson writings, writings that Elena understood. Unlike his upper body, its legs weren't covered with fur, showing of its bulky, pitch black legs. The Pokémon has an anthropomorphic build, allowing it to stand upright. His upper-body was covered with crimson writings that formed an X-like pattern across his entire upper-body. Its entire left hand was covered with a silver gauntlet that goes halfway across his left arm, highlighting its claw and its right hand on the other, or should I say his entire right arm was a gruesome sword. The sword was pitched black and reaches all the way to the ground, the sword looks like a crescent lightning bolt and was connected by a chain that was wrapped around its right shoulder.
"Ash," Elena mumbled as Ash gazed at his beloved.
"Yes loved," Ash said in curiosity.
"That's an ancient Pokémon, it's named is Voltranuc" Elena stated at the sight of the supposed extinct Pokémon.
"Knight of Lightning huh," Ash mumbled in a rather impress tone.
"Not a knight Ash, an emperor, the emperor of lightning and darkness." Elena stated as the Pokémons now known as Voltranuc bare its fangs to Garchomp as it raise his sword over his head. The sword was emitting black electricity before Voltranuc swung it down, sending a wave of electricity towards Garchomp. Garchomp, seeing the attack, raised her arms, both of which were glowing bright purple, and slammed it over the wave of black electricity, bad moved. The attack over powered her and sending an electric shock all throughout her body. The feeling was both quite painful and exhilarating experience for Garchomp.
Voltranuc roared once again as it charged towards the still shocked Garchomp, its blade glowing with black energy, and this time, it was not black electricity. Garchomp was able to caught the blade, stopping the attack but that little move was to no avail as when the sword made contact with Garchomp, an explosion of dark energy propelled Garchomp a couple of feet away from the behemoth.
"Garchomp stand your ground and use Fang Blade." Cynthia ordered as she gazed at the berserker. 'That thing has no self control,' Cynthia thought in disappointment.
Garchomp suddenly bare his fangs as a thick purple blade erupted from her mouth. She then rushed towards the black Pokémon as they swung their blades towards each other. The attacks didn't even touch their intended target as Ash appeared between them, catching both of the blades with his bare hand.
"This is getting pathetic." Ash mumbled as the crowd gasped at the sight of Ash stopping both attacks. Cynthia and everyone who knew Ash was startled when they witness him appearing between the two clashing titans in a flash.
"Garchomp, stand your ground for ten seconds." Ash ordered as he glanced at the pseudo-legend. "I know that you and your trainer want a challenge and I will give you that challenge in a couple of seconds." Ash said as Garchomp was suddenly overloaded with killing intent as a wave of aura healed all of her damaged that she received from the battle. Garchomp hastily dispel her attack and bowed at Ash in respect, startling Cynthia a bit. Garchomp then backed away from the two as the behemoth brought his fist down towards Ash, an attack that he stopped with a single finger.
"Attacking your master, how distasteful," Ash mumbled as he deflected both the sword and gauntlet and instantly grabbed hold of the large Pokémon's head. "Let me change that for you, Voltranuc." Ash mumbled as both their eyes glowed bright blue, signaling Ash's entry to Pikachu sup-conscious, or sub-space in Aura terms.
(Scene Change)
"I'll be damn, this place change since the last time I visited." Ash can't help but comment as he stood at the middle of a black thunderstorm.
"(I always wanted a change of scenery so deal with it partner)." Pikachu exclaimed as he jumped on Ash's shoulder. "(Tell me, what's my body doing in the outside world)?" Pikachu asked as he glanced at Ash.
"You were about to go berserk when I entered your sub-space." Ash answered bluntly as he began to gaze around. "So, what would I do so that you could regain your consciousness. Like I told you, I don't like losing in front of her." Ash stated as Pikachu chuckled goodheartedly.
"(Seriously partner, you are totally whipped)." Pikachu commented with a chuckle before letting out a sighed. "(You just need to weather the storm and I could get my consciousness back to my body)." Pikachu explained as they both glanced at the raging thunderstorm.
"That'll be easy, considering what my Aura Element is." Ash mumbled as he raised his right hand up, with his palm open. "Considérant (French for Recital)," Ash shouted as his staff appeared with a rainbow colored flash.
"(Three years of trying to perfect that ability, all boiling down to this, although I'm quite disappointed that I have to evolve)." Pikachu commented as Ash began twirling his staff, causing a rainbow colored electricity to be emitted by the staff.
"Well technically, we all have to evolve someday but I think this evolution will have an on-off switch." Ash commented as a vortex of electricity formed around him. "I mean, the dark spark did have a switch so I guess that the evolution cause by the dark spark would also have a switch." Ash concluded as the lotus tip of the staff overflowed with tremendous amount of rainbow colored electricity.
"(Thanks for your strange optimism, I really appreciate it)." Pikachu mumbled sarcastically causing Ash to chuckle.
"I've never been wrong with these things, you know that." Ash said with an assuring tone as he glared at the black storm. Ash opened the palm of his hand and created a silver like portal in front of him before sending the thick vortex of electricity from his staff, through the portal. Interesting enough, the massive vortex of electricity went through the silver portal, the rainbow colored electricity change color to silver and the vortex of electricity became larger and wilder, the electricity becoming more potent.
The massive electrical attack instantly shot up towards the sky, instantly making a large whole on the storm clouds. Ash then began chanting words that only Aura Sage's could understand.
The ability of Aura Sages and Knights are quite different from each other, first, Sages has the ability to create massive amount of Aura Crystals in a moments noticed while the Knights could only create jewelry size Aura Crystals. Aura Crystals are the center piece of every Aura Practitioners for only by the use of those crystals could they access their Aura Element, that or with the used of an Aura Weapon. Now, Sages and Knights used those Aura Crystals in different ways to access their Aura Elements, Sages who has staffs for their Aura Weapons could create large quantity of crystals, they could summon large amount in a short period of times because their Aura Element could only be used in the form of a spell. They could use large amount of Aura Crystals for defense because their spells tends to be too long to cast. The reason why Aura Knights could only create jewel size Aura Crystals is because they incorporate their Aura Elements into their movements and they focus more on offence than defense, in contrast with Aura Sages. Usually, Aura Knights either conceal jewel size Aura Crystals in the palm of their hands while performing different kinds of katas to perform an Aura Elemental technique.
An Aura Prince on the other, having the abilities of both a Sage and a Knight, could used their Aura Element without the use of Aura Crystals because if they used the Aura Crystals, their elemental output would be twice or thrice as strong.
Ash, being an Aura Sage before becoming an Aura Prince, was used to chanting his Aura Elemental Techniques so most of his high level elemental techniques are spells,
"Garden of Moonlight Shed your Wrath; Storms of the Crescent Clear My Path, Moonlight Thunder Nova." Ash chanted as he raised his staff, the lotus on the tip of the staff crackled with electricity as the sky exploded with silver thunder, clearing the storm clouds in a flash.
"(You should really teach me how to do that)." Pikachu inquired as he witness once again one of Ash's favorite spell.
"Could you chant Aurarian (Language used by Aura Sages to chant their spells) flawlessly?" Ash asked rhetorically causing Pikachu to grumble. "Okay now, what's next?" Ash asked in a serious tone.
"(You don't have to worry about the next step; I'll take care of that)." Pikachu stated as they both glanced at the Anubis like creature holding a black orb.
"Seriously, why does everything special be inside of an orb?" Ash wondered as Pikachu nodded in understanding.
"(Well, an orb does represent the world)." Pikachu commented as the orb began emitting dark energy and black electricity.
"Least talk and get into that orb, we have a champion to beat." Ash stated as Pikachu chuckled lightheartedly.
"Yeah, yeah, seriously partner," Pikachu mumbled as he flew towards the orb, his body continuously emitting black electricity.
Ash shook his head as a faint smiled crawled on his face as he slowly disappear from Pikachu's sub-space. As he disappeared completely, a bright flash of darkness enveloped Pikachu's entire sup-space.
(Scene Change)
The crowd was in stiff silent as they await the outcome of the stunt that Ash pulled. They didn't know what would happen as the mysterious Pokémon suddenly stop moving, which was rather unnerving. Most of the trainers there had instantly brought out their Pokedex to see if there was any info about the pitch black and scary looking Pokémon but there was none. The only ones who had some idea about the new Pokémon were Elena's crew.
"That Pokémon seems familiar." Henry commented as the rest of the crew nodded.
"You guys know that thing?" Max asked as he gazed at the group of archeologist.
"No, not quite but I could have swore I've seen a scripture of that Pokémon on one of the tablets that we used to study during the day." Henry stated as he gazed at the black Pokémon critically.
"I don't know for sure but I think that's one of the Lightning Emperors." Natasha commented, earning attention from the group of trainers that joined them.
"Those three are already extinct four thousand years ago." Adan stated, finally using some kind of logic.
"True, but come on now, we're archeologist, we are open for history to unravel in anyway shape or form." Natasha exclaimed as she leaned towards Adan. "Ash is the living proof of that remember, or have you forgotten that Ash is the first Aura Prince in almost six generations." Natasha reminded as Adan sighed.
"I admit, you got me there, but come on now Natasha, the only way for a fossil to be reincarnated is by placing to one of those fossils reanimating devices…." Adan was interrupted mid-sentence when a loud roar echoed in the arena. Instantly their attentions were now directed to Ash and that mysterious Pokémon, to their shock, the mysterious Pokémon was now bowing in front of him.
(With Ash and Voltranuc)
Ash chuckled merrily as he patted Voltranuc's head. "You shouldn't be bowing at my presence, partner, it doesn't suit your new form." Ash stated with a small smile.
"(I know, I just figured that it would be a bit dramatic)." Voltranuc said a deep tone of voice before standing up. "(Do you know any of my techniques)?" Voltranuc asked as he flexed his sword arm to get the feeling back.
Ash chuckled as he pointed at his head. "You have twenty-four ancient techniques, eight electric type, eight dark type, and eight dual elemental type, currently, you can only use three electric type moves, two dark type moves, and one dual elemental type move, not my ideal move set but at least we could still used a total of twelve moves in our dark spark techniques, and I think we could use Reverse Polarity if things get bad." Ash commented as he gazed at Elena.
"Hey Elena, you can knock out Dragonite now." Ash said and the crowd instantly diverted their attention to the white Lucario who has Lance's Dragonite trapped in a barrier.
"Finally," Elena mumbled with a small smile as she glanced at Koyuki. "Koyuki, Aura Cero," Elena ordered and instantly, Koyuki pointed her paws towards Lance's Dragonite as a thick Aura energy enveloped her paws. Koyuki's eyes widen when she suddenly unleash a condense and potent Aura blast towards Dragonite.
Dragonite, seeing the powerful attack heading his way and having no way of dodging, plus taking consideration the damaged that he receive throughout the battle, could only think of a couple of words to described his current situation. "(Fuck me, I'm screwed)." Dragonite mumbled as the white beam enveloped his entire body.
The crowd gasped in shocked as Dragonite fell to the ground, smoke coming out of his body and bruises all over his body, he was also unconscious.
Lance suddenly groaned loudly as they heard Sarah cheered for her sister. "I will never hear the end of this." Lance mumbled in dismay.
"Lance's Dragonite is unable to battle." The referee announced in a very startled tone.
Cynthia shook her head at Lance's misfortune before glancing back at her opponents. She had faced worst so fighting two crazy strong Pokémon wouldn't be new to her, in fact, she welcomed the challenge.
Ash on the other hand, would have none of that. "Elena, stand down, Cynthia is mine." Ash stated as Voltranuc and Garchomp began staring each other down, trying to gauge down each other's threat level.
"Fine but you owe me after this." Elena whispered as she gave Koyuki to stand back. Koyuki nodded as she jumped to Elena's side.
"Would a picnic besides the lake suffice?" Ash asked in a whisper. "I'll be cooking." Ash added with a small smile.
Elena chuckled lightly as she nodded happily causing Ash chuckle before glancing at Cynthia, a sadistic smile plastered on his face. "Cynthia, you and me, let's end this battle." Ash challenged as Voltranuc's blade began emitting dark energy.
Garchomp smiled excitedly as a purple blade suddenly burst from her fangs. Cynthia, seeing the excitement in the eyes of both Pokémons, decided to roll with it. "Let's end this then, shall we Ash." Cynthia exclaimed as the two Pokémons dash at each other with blinding speed.
"Garchomp, Fang Blade,"
"Voltranuc, Void Cutter,"
The purple blade of Garchomp clash with Voltranuc's sword arm, the resulting clash resulted in Voltranuc's sword arm to shot a blast of dark energy towards Garchomp, sending her flying a couple of feet away from him. Garchomp easily landed on her feet as Voltranuc raised his blade arm causing black electricity to surround the blade.
"Voltranuc, Crackling Shadow," Ash ordered as Voltranuc send a massive, pure black, spiraling electric current towards Garchomp.
"Well this Pokémon had already proved that it could hurt a ground type without hitting its weak point so, Garchomp, Eclipse of Dust." Cynthia ordered as sand began to spin around Garchomp. Garchomp then brought her arms to her chest causing the sand to harden around her, creating a sphere like barrier. The spiraling electricity smash through the barrier of sand, shattering the harden sand but leaving Garchomp unharmed.
"Okay, that suck," Ash grumbled trying to think what moved to used. "Okay, let's try this, Voltranuc, Accel," Ash ordered as Voltranuc suddenly disappeared in a dark flash.
Cynthia narrowed her eyes as she tried to determine what kind of move that was. "Garchomp, move," Cynthia ordered as Voltranuc suddenly appeared behind Garchomp, his sword ready to strike. Garchomp's eyes widen when she was suddenly hit by a very heavy sword strike to her shoulder, causing her to groan in pain. She jumped away from the Voltranuc as he followed in pursuit.
"Garchomp, Gravitational Pulse." Cynthia ordered but Ash would have none of that.
"Not a chance, Voltranuc, Freezing," Ash ordered as Voltranuc brought his silver gauntlet up and launch a black, magentic field towards Garchomp. The magnetic field crept and travelled on the ground as it enveloped the ground beneath Garchomp, paralyzing her in the process. Garchomp eyes widen when she felt that her body parts were suddenly bound.
"Thunder Hunter," Ash ordered as Voltranuc swung his arm sword in an upward arc, sending a three black wolves made out of electricity towards Garchomp. The three wolves hurriedly bit Garchomp in three different body parts, before exploding, causing an electrical explosion directly on Garchomp.
"GARCHOMP," Cynthia shouted as a thick layer of smoke enveloped her favorite Pokémon. Her worry was short live when Garchomp swung one of her arms, blowing the smoke away, her body was suddenly covered in burns but she was still able to stand upright and was still ready for battle.
"I was hoping that that got her, oh well," Ash mumbled as he gazed around the battlefield before deciding to use accel once more. "Voltranuc, charge in with Accel." Ash ordered as Voltranuc disappeared in a dark flash once again.
"Not this time, Ash. Garchomp, Dragon Ignition." Cynthia ordered as Garchomp disappeared with a static like boom.
The crowd was tensed for a moment as the two Pokémons disappeared in thin air before a large boom suddenly erupted as the two Pokémons appeared in the middle of the field, Voltranuc's sword arm being blocked by one of Garchomp's glowing arms. The two smirked at each other for a moment before they began exchanging blows. Garchomp was using Brick Break in order to be in par with Voltranuc's sword arm while Voltranuc used his other arm, which was covered by a silver gauntlet, to block attacks that almost made contact with his body.
The exchange, for the crowd, was like a martial scene from a movie. Voltranuc and Garchomp's movements were similar to the movements of humans while performing martial arts, considering how the shape of their body and how they were trained, it was easy for them. Garchomp was having a hard time in the exchange for Vultranuc's sword arm was constantly emitting a thin layer of electricity that was sending a shocking amount of electricity in her body, it wasn't enough to leave a considerable amount of damaged but it was beginning to annoy her. Voltranuc on the other hand was having travel with Garchomp's powerful Brick Break, being a dark-type, he was weak against fighting-type moves, sure it would take a powerful fighting-type Pokémon and move to hurt him but Garchomp's Brick Break would still leave a considerable amount of damaged if he was hit.
"This is getting us nowhere." Ash and Cynthia uttered simultaneously.
"Garchomp, Ground Saber," Cynthia ordered as Garchomp suddenly leaped away from Voltranuc before slamming her hands to the ground. The ground shook for a moment as Garchomp suddenly pulled a giant-handled blade from the ground. The handled blade was a huge rock with a sharp blade on the edge of the weapon.
"Okay, I'll admit, that's cool," Ash said, with an impress tone. "But this, is even cooler, Voltranuc, Assault Weapon," Ash ordered as Voltranuc's sword arm suddenly emitted a huge amount of electricity and darkness. Voltranuc then pulled his sword arm from the shoulder blade causing a large, black, metallic staff to slowly rise up. After sometime, Voltranuc had completely pulled out his new weapon, revealing a pure black Guan dao. The Guan Dao consists of a heavy, red colored, crescent blade with a spike on the back, the blade was feet roughly two feet in length and half a foot wide. The blade is mounted atop a eight feet long, dark colored, metal pole with a pointed metal counter weight used to balance the heavy blade and for striking on the opposite end.
(A/N: Guan Dao is a type of Chinese Pole Weaponthat is currently used in some forms of Chinese Martial Arts.)
In exchange for the new weapon, Voltranuc lose his right sword arm. Voltranuc wield the Guan Dao in his left arm as it gave it a twirl. "(Okay, I've seen Ash used his staff countless of times so using this spear would be easy)." Voltranuc mumbled as he performed different kinds of movements with his new weapon, spinning the spear with the used of his left arm.
"I hope Pikachu can mimic my style in using my staff." Ash hoped as Cynthia glanced at Voltranuc is amazements.
"Ash, how many tricks do you have under your sleeve?" Cynthia asked causing both Ash and Elena to chuckle.
"That'll be telling," Ash and Elena said in unison as Voltranuc nodded in agreement before charging at Garchomp. Garchomp brought his handle blade up to block the spear thrust from Voltranuc. Garchomp grunted as the spear made push her back a couple of inches causing Voltranuc to smirk. In a flash, Voltranuc began attacking Garchomp with a series of complicated yet effective spear thrusts and spear slashes, attacks that Garchomp barely block with her handle blade.
"(Okay, this guy is newly evolved but when the hell did this monster learn how to do martial arts)." Garchomp mumbled as she try to fend or block the attacks that was send her way, some of her opponents attacks were beginning to pierce through her weapon and her defenses.
"(What's next after this)?" Voltranuc wondered as he spun the spear around like a buzz saw, slowly grinding the earth made weapon into dust. "(Oh yeah, burry the top of the spear on the ground and kick her jaw)." Voltranuc mumbled as he suddenly impaled the blade of the spear to the ground before using his weapon as leverage to deliver a Tiger Fient Kick (also known as the 619) to Garchomp's weapon, shattering it before landing on his feet and grabbing hold of his Guan Dao and hitting Garchomp with a powerful spear slash, sending her flying.
"Okay, I have enough," Ash mumbled as he massaged his temple.
"You okay Ash?" Elena asked as she gazed at her lover.
"I'm fine but damn it, Voltranuc's just showed me one of the worst polearms usage that I've ever seen in my life." Ash groaned as Elena patted her boyfriend on the back. "That's it, I'll end this battle and show Voltranuc how to properly handle a polearms." Ash mumbled as he gazed at the field, developing a quick fire plan.
"Voltranuc, DRAGOON System," Ash ordered, promptly stopping Voltranuc in his tracks.
"(Is it time for us to end this battle already)?" Voltranuc mumbled as suddenly, eight black spikes sprouted from his back, each having a crystal like appearance.
(A/N: The spikes look similar to those attached on the wings of the Strike Freedom of Gundam SEED DESTINY)
(A/N: Sorry, can't resist, Gundam Seed is my favorite anime)
"(Oh well, master's orders, sorry Garchomp)." Voltranuc apologized as the eight spikes launch from his back and flew around the field, captivating everyone their as the eight spikes gave a dazzling appearance as they fly around.
"Amazing," Cynthia mumbled yet she was prepared for anything.
"Hey Cynthia," Ash called out as Cynthia gazed at Ash curiously. "Could Garchomp dodge an attack in eight different directions?" Ash asked as Voltranuc slammed his weapon to the ground, causing the eight spike to fired eight black beams towards Garchomp, Garchomp, not seeing the direction of the attack, didn't have the time to dodge and merely braced for impact. Luckily for her, the beams merely hit her sides, narrowly missing her. That attack startled the crowd and Cynthia.
"That was the warning shot, here's the real deal." Ash said as the spikes dance around Garchomp while constantly firing beams of black energy towards Garchomp. Garchomp, seeing the damaged that those attacks could cause, try her best to dodge their constant firing, barely and narrowly succeeding in the process.
Eight spikes move swiftly, stopping only briefly to launch an attack on Garchomp. The attacks came from eight different direction, making dodging seems impossible but Garchomp was able to dance around the beams, thanks to the constants training her trainer gave her when dealing with multiple opponents, but the speed on which the eight spike moves and the speed of their attacks add to multidirectional way they launch their attacks was slowly exhausting her, something that Cynthia noticed.
"Okay, I need to eliminate those spikes." Cynthia mumbled as she tried to think of a multi directional attack that could destroy those spikes in an instant, sadly, Ash would have none of that.
"Voltranuc, join the fray." Ash ordered as Voltranuc charged towards Garchomp, his Guan Dao spinning like a buzz saw. Garchomp cursed loudly as she was force to dodge in nine different directions, making attacking virtually impossible. Garchomp was so busy dodging that she didn't noticed a spike behind her, the spike fired behind her, and this time she was hit squarely on the back. The beam exploded on impact causing her to stumble down to the ground. The eight spike position themselves around Garchomp as Voltranuc used Void Cutter to send her flying towards the sky. When Garchomp was propelled upwards, the eight spikes fired simultaneously, firing in eight different directions.
"Garchomp hurry and used Dragon's Paradise." Cynthia ordered frantically.
"THAT WON'T WORK," Ash shouted as the eight beams pass through Garchomp's barrier, hitting her in eight different parts. Garchomp yelled in pain as the beams exploded in impact. "Cynthia, let me tell you something about the DRAGOON System," Ash offered as Garchomp slowly fell to the ground.
"For starters, DRAGOON System isn't a move that I created, it's one of Voltranuc's moveset now let me tell you how the attack is form. The spikes are created with the used of harden Darkness, that explains why it gives off a crystal like appearance. Voltranuc's control those pillar by using a thin electric thread that is attached to his Guan Dao, that's why he has to constantly move his weapon. And the beam that they fire is called Railgun and if you're not familiar with a railgun, let me give you a brief explanation, they are condensed, potent, and harden electrical beams. Railgun's are also very thin yet explosive, making them the perfect barrier pericer." Ash explained as he showed Cynthia three fingers.
"Electricity has three special forms, Railgun, a condensed form of electricity, Wind, electricity's raw form, and lastly and the thing that I'll be working on later, a Proton Particle, a beam of super concentrated electricity that it could annihilate anything." Ash explained as he watched Garchomp fall to the ground. "Hey Cynthia, forgive me for this but eight Railgun beams of that caliber from eight different directions isn't enough to KO your Garchomp so let me end this in the way I know how, Voltranuc, Reverse Polarity." Ash ordered causing a massive wind vortex to surround Voltranuc but this time, with the used of his Guan Dao, Voltranuc was able to control the wind current by spinning his weapon around his body.
"Wait a minute; you said that that move isn't complete." Cynthia asked, suddenly fearing for her Garchomp's safety.
"Your right, it isn't yet finished but by using Voltranuc's Guan Dao, we can now control the wind vortex and forged it into a much evolve technique." Ash said as he tried to dig up a move that Pikachu had seen him perform when using the wind element. Ash, having the element of electricity as his Aura Element, created Reverse Polarity for his own used.
"That will do just fine," Ash said as he glanced at Voltranuc and the falling Garchomp. "Voltranuc, Euros Loop." Ash ordered with a snap of a finger.
"(Okay, I've seen him do that technique a hundred times, so here goes nothing)," Voltranuc mumbled as he dashed towards the landing point of Garchomp. Manipulating the wind vortex with his Guan Dao, he swung the spear in a circular motion, directing the wind current to the ground. A large tornado erupted from the Guan Dao to the ground, trapping Garchomp in the middle of the tornado, shredding every inch of her body. The tornado also propelled her upwards, causing the enhancement of shredding effect. The tornado lasted for only ten seconds as Garchomp fell to the ground, unconscious but a smile plastered on her face.
The crowd was silence as they just witness two champions be defeated by two unknown trainer, technically one trainer for his partner was just an archeologist. The silence was so stiff that they could here Ash's footstep as he approached Voltranuc.
"Hey partner, you did well." Ash commented as Voltranuc nodded before smiling sadly.
"(Are you going to keep me in my Poke ball now, seeing that I am a seven-foot tall behemoth now)?" Voltranuc asked in a rather dull tone.
"Well, no," Ash said as he punch Voltranuc with a fist loaded with Aura. "You can turn back into a Pikachu now, Voltranuc." Ash told him as a small black flash suddenly enveloped Voltranuc, when the flash died down, Pikachu fell on Ash's arms, unconscious. That display caused the crowd to be stunned stupid.
Ash patted Pikachu on the head before glancing at the referee. "Hey ref, we won so start announcing." Ash said as he hurriedly walk towards the smiling Elena and rather cheerful Koyuki.
The referee quickly slapped his sense as he raised his arms. "Garchomp can no longer battle, this battle goes to Ash Ketchum and Elena Koshi." The referee announced as the crowd was to stand to even give Ash and Elena their applause.
"This is to be expected," Elena commented as Ash wrapped his arm around her shoulder before pulling her close to him.
"So, when do you want that picnic that I promised you?" Ash asked with a sweet tone.
Elena could only chuckle as she rested her head on Ash's shoulder. "Tonight would be nice," Elena said to him as the two walk in that position, prompting every girl in the arena to stare or glare at Elena with outmost jealousy.
(Scene Change)
Ash and Elena were currently in the locker room, gathering their belongings, which was a few.
"So after we deposit Pikachu and the rest of our Pokémons in the Pokémon Center, what do you say about lunch, my treat?" Ash asked as the prepared to leave the locker room.
"Sure why not," Elena accepted with a smile before a frown cross her face. "Let's get the hell out of here before that woman appears out of nowhere." Elena commented as Ash nodded. He has nothing against Via, she was a friend after all, but the fact that she almost break them off still piss both of them off to this day.
"Young master, young mistress, are you there?" Ricardo asked as he knocked on the door.
Both Ash and Elena shared a sigh of relief when they heard Ricardo's voice; he was probably the only one that two of them were comfortable talking with in the moment. Ash knew that if he talks with his friends, they would annoy him with questions involving his and Pikachu's techniques and Elena knew that Sarah would instantly jumped on him at the sight of him.
'Why does my Ash have to be so damn sexy?' Elena wondered as Ricardo entered their locker room.
"Stellar performance, both of you." Ricardo complimented with a small smile causing the two to chuckle simultaneously.
"Let's thank nature's love for me for that," Ash said with a humorous tone as he glanced at Pikachu. "That and the teamwork that me and Elena have and not to mention Pikachu's sudden evolution and Koyuki's wondrous execution of those Aura techniques." Ash added as he listed even more reason why they won.
"In short, they didn't know any of our skills, which we used to our advantage." Elena concluded as she covered Ash's mouth. "Ricardo, would you please be a dear and distract Via for us, me and Ash are going to have lunch after we deposit Pikachu to the Pokémon Center?" Elena ordered something rare for her.
Ricardo chuckled lightly before bowing. "As you command, young mistress," Ricardo said as they heard another knock on the door.
"Ash, are you their?" A voiced that was all too familiar for Ash asked.
"Great, visitors," Ash mumbled with a sighed. "Cynthia, Lance, I'm here, come in." Ash said as the two opened to reveal the two champions that they had previous defeated.
"Hey Ash, Elena," Cynthia greeted as her eyes landed on Ricardo. "What are you doing here, Mr. Ricardo?" Cynthia asked at the sight of Ricardo.
Ricardo instantly wore a passive expression as he gave the two a curt nod. "I am only here to congratulate the friends of my masters; after all, beating the two of you is quite an achievement." Ricardo stated in a mocking tone, causing the Ash and Elena face palm.
'He still hasn't change, his social skill still suck.' The two thought simultaneously as Lance and Cynthia glared at him.
"Okay you two please don't kill Ricardo." Ash requested as he went between the two champions and Ricardo. "His social skills may suck but he is very hard to replace." Ash said causing Elena to nod.
"He lacks social skills but he is the perfect lawyer and he has an IQ of 360." Elena added as Ricardo nodded in agreement.
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Ash asked as he gave Lance a sharp glance. "And no, you lost Lance so I won't tell you who owns APWA." Ash exclaimed as Lance nodded.
"We understand Ash but we are not here for that." Lance stated, although he cursed himself at his latest defeat, not only did he lose but he gave Sarah another topic to mock him with. "We're just a bit curious about that Pokémon that Pikachu evolved into." Lance said causing Ash to narrow his eyes on Lance.
"I will not give nor present my partner as a lab rat and if you even suggest it, I will break you in half." Ash threatened with a voice that promised pain and suffering, a voice that Ricardo was familiar off. There was a time when someone disrespected Elena in Ash presence where Ricardo was present, Ash warned him to apologize and the guy ended up spitting on her face. The beating that Ash gave that guy was the single, most brutal beating that Ash gave on anyone and both Ricardo and Elena felt pity on the guy.
Lance instantly back down as he raised his hand in defense. "I didn't come here for that Ash; I'm just here to talk about our battle." Lance stated causing Ash to smile.
"Let's talk tomorrow; I do owe Elena lunch for tagging with me in this battle." Ash said as he lead Elena to the door, only to be stopped by Cynthia when she reached for his hand.
"You won't mind if I tagged along, right Ash?" Cynthia asked in a passive tone.
Elena narrowed her eyes on her as Cynthia gave Ash a sly smile. "I could give you a couple of tips so that you could perfect the Reverse Polarity move of yours." Cynthia offered causing Elena to swat her hand off Ash.
"Sorry Ms. Cynthia, Ash is taken for the afternoon." Elena stated as she dragged Ash away from one of his admirers, unfortunately though when she opened the door, Sarah suddenly burst from the door and tackled Ash down to the ground, hugging him.
"Hey Ash, you were amazing." Sarah said, greeting Ash in a very affectionate way. Ricardo almost chuckled at his boss' predicament, he does have away to charm seemingly every girl he comes to contact with.
"Hey Sarah," Ash greeted before struggling to removed her hold on him. "Could you get off me," Ash asked politely causing Sarah to chuckle.
"No," Sarah answered as Elena Cynthia easily removed her from him.
"Could you greet him normally?" Elena asked in a rather frustrated tone.
"What would be the fun of that?" Sarah asked in a playful tone as Cynthia grunted.
"Try acting your age for once, would you?" Cynthia exclaimed as Sarah laughed softly.
"I'm only eighteen you know," Sarah stated as he grabbed hold of Ash's arm. "Hey Ash, want to go out with me?" Sarah asked out of the blue causing Elena to forcefully removed Ash from Sarah's gripped.
"Like I told this blond idiot," Cynthia suddenly had a thick mark on her forehead at that remark. "Ash is taken for the afternoon." Elena stated as she stared eye-to-eye with her sister.
"You had him for three years; let me borrow him for a couple of hours." Sarah said as she pulled Ash to her.
"I don't care how long I had him, the answer is no," Elena hissed as she pulled Ash to her direction. In no time at all, the two siblings began a tugged of war, with Ash as the prize.
Ricardo chuckled, imagining what would Via's reaction to this sight. 'I never would have never imagine young mistress.' sister would be interest with her boyfriend.' Ricardo chuckled even more loudly at the thought. 'Via would blow at this sight.' Ricardo thought when the door suddenly burst open.
"YOUNG MASTER," A voice shouted, causing the three people there to freeze.
'OH SHIT,' Ash and Ricardo thought as Ash was suddenly tackled to the ground by a very excited Via.
"Young master, you were amazing back there." Via complimented as the three girls glared at the new arrival. Elena was seething with rage as Ash's aura was slowly surrounding her, luckily that amount that she was emitting was so minuscule that it was not seen by normal humans.
"Thanks, Via," Ash reluctantly reply as Via began cuddling on his chest. After that little stun Via pulled, there was one rule, more like a law, that his gambling friends made when Via and Elena are around, the rule states that if you value your life or if you want to see the sun shines once again, then you should prevent the two from ever being in the same room together.
"Could you get off me, Via?" Ash asked in a polite tone, he could already felt the Aura the Elena was emitting. 'Never thought my Aura could be that demented.' Ash added as Via chuckled.
"But I haven't given you your reward yet." Via exclaimed as she leaned towards Ash lips, intending to give him a kiss, which was promptly stopped when Elena grabbed her by the collar and threw her roughly on the wall.
"You seriously know how to ruin my day." Elena hissed at the sight of Via. "And would you please date people your own age." Elena all but begged as the two glared at each other with contempt.
"I'm twenty-one, Ash is fifteen, a six year gap isn't much." Via commented airily as Cynthia and Sarah was taken back at that statement while Ricardo and Lance merely watched the show from a far, Ricardo was eating popcorn while Lance was feeling rather nervous because of the situation.
"Does this happen a lot?" Lance asked in a whisper.
"When Elena and Via are in the same room, yes this happens often." Ricardo stated with a shrugged, like he had seen these numerous times before.
"You should have stayed in the headquarters, doing your work." Elena sneered in contempt.
"I am doing my work, unlike you who hasn't done anything for the company." Sarah retorted, trying to control the volume of her voice.
"That's because, unlike you, I have other commitments." Elena shot back as the atmosphere tensed between them.
"You mean like robbing Ash off his money." Via sneered causing Elena to almost slapped the taste off Via's mouth.
"Don't you dare group me with the likes of you." Elena spat with hatred lacing her tone. "I haven't spend a single dime of Ash's money, unlike you who if my memory serves me right." Elena added with a mocking smile.
Via narrowed her eyes on Elena as she leaned closed to her. "Ash would have been mine if he hadn't met you." Via whispered with a shaky tone.
"Ash would never stoop to your level, you brown haired slut." Elena insulted, shocking Sarah who had never heard her sister insult someone.
"You dare insult me, you white haired harlot." Via hissed as she clenched her hand into a fist.
"Via, enough," Ash ordered as he stood up and glanced at Via. Via instantly tensed as she glanced at Ash who had his eyes narrowed at her. "I've told you countless of times, you shouldn't insult Elena in front of me, you may be talent at what you do but you are not expendable, just very hard to replace." Ash said in a tone that was meant for business.
Via flinched at that before bowing her head. "I'm sorry, young master," Via apologized as she bowed her head, Sarah, Lance and Cynthia was taken back at that. Why did the crazy pedophile refer to Ash as young master.
Ash sighed, seeing that their secret was off the bag. Having two geniuses in one room really suck. "Ricardo, bring the limo around." Ash ordered as Ricardo nodded.
"As you wish, young master," Ricardo replied as he headed to the exit.
"And please take Via with you," Ash added as he massaged his temple. "I have a lot of explaining to do." Ash mumbled as Ricardo grabbed a handful of Via's hair, dragging her away.
"I have feet you know," Via hissed as Ricardo glared at her.
"Three years they kept this secret, but you blow it off in thirty seconds." Ricardo commented with a disappointed tone. "This is a new level stupidity, even for you." Ricardo exclaimed as he he existed the room , leaving a very shell shock room.
"That was, interesting." Sarah mumbled, making mental not to slap that brunette when given the chance.
Ash instantly wrapped an arm around Elena's shoulder as he leaned to her ear. "You okay, love?" Ash inquired in a gentle tone.
"I hate that bitch." Elena mumbled as she leaned on Ash.
"I know," Ash replied as Cynthia cleared her throat, catching Ash's attention.
"Ricardo and Via told us that they knew the two of you but could you tell us why they called you Young master?" Cynthia inquired curiously.
Ash sighed as he rubbed the back of his head with his free hand. "Do you guys know who the owners of APWA are?" Ash suddenly asked and the group, no matter how staggering the appearance of that woman who threw herself at Ash, can't help but nod. "You guys are looking at the co-founders, co-owners, and co-CEO of APWA." Ash said as the room suddenly turned deadly silence.
"You are the owner of that company?" Lance asked in shocked as Ash shook his head, he didn't expected that.
Ash shook his head as he bowed at Lance. "You aren't listening to me, Elena and I owned the company together." Ash repeated himself as they heard a clap from behind.
"Well that explains a lot of things." Jane commented as she suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Tell me more, please."
SORRY IF THE ENDING SUCK, I FINISHED THE ENDING TWELVE IN THE EVENING AND I REALLY NEED SOME SLEEP
