Ash's final Kalos battle

"Just like back at the Pokemon League."Ash turned to a wall to see a colossal screen with his and Diantha's photos on it with six Pokeballs next to their photos. He then looked forward to see Diantha smiling at him making his Girlfriends watching become jealous."Time to decide that battle we had a while ago."

"It most certainly is. I choose you Hawlucha."

"HERACROSS I CHOOSE YOU!"Both of the trainers' Pokemon appeared making the first Pokeball on the screen and looked ready to fight right away."HERACROSS USE HORN ATTACK!"

"HAWLUCHA DODGE AND USE X-SCISSOR!"

"DODGE IT BY FLYING UP!"Heracross flew at Hawlucha ready to hit her with his horn but the Flying/Fighting type dodged and put her arms in an X shape. But Heracross flew up making her miss her attack."MEGAHORN!"

"BLOCK WITH POISON JAB!"Hawlucha punched Heracross's glowing horn with her fist glowing purple making them stagger from the collision."FLYING PRESS!"

"FOCUS PUNCH!"Heracross's fist began to glow blue and he punched the attacking Hawlucha sending her into the air.

"SKY ATTACK!"Hawlucha regained her focus and dove down at Heracross glowing white. She slammed into him dealing him double the super effective damage knocking him out.

"HERACROSS IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! HAWLUCHA WINS!"Heracross's photo on the screen dimmed making Ash grit his teeth.

"HERACROSS RETURN! KROOKODILE I CHOOSE YOU!"The Pokeball under Heracross changed to become Krookodile as he appeared in front of Hawlucha making Diantha laugh.

"This ought to be fun. HAWLUCHA FLYING PRESS!"

"DODGE IT WITH DIG!"Krookodile dug underground making Hawlucha hit the floor hard before appearing again hitting her hard."FINISH IT WITH STONE EDGE!"Krookodile shot the small stones at Hawlucha sending her flying towards Diantha unconscious making the image of her on the screen dim.

"HAWLUCHA IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! KROOKODILE WINS!"

"Return. Impressive Ash, that was a quick battle, but so will this one, I CHOOSE TYRANTRUM!"Diantha threw a Pokeball making a Tyrantrum appear and roar at Krookodile making him chuckle."EARTHQUAKE!"

"USE AERIAL ACE TO DODGE!"Krookodile flew up dodging Earthquake and slammed into Tyrantrum making him sneer."DRAGON CLAW!"Krookodile slashed Tyrantrum with his claws making him chuckle.

"Ash I hate to break it to you, but his defense is stronger than even a super effective move like Dragon Claw. HEAD SMASH!"Tyrantrum bashed his head on Krookodile's sending him into the ground weakening him."Now use Crunch."

"DIG!"Krookodile dug underground making Tyrantrum get his head stuck in the hole as he reappeared behind him."FOCUS BLAST!"Krookodile threw Focus Blast at Tyrantrum, specifically at his back sending him forward until he was on his back.

"Impressive Ash, but my next attack will decide this."Tyrantrum stood up and glared at Krookodile and began to run towards him."HORN DRILL!"

"OUTRAGE!"Krookodile's eyes began to glow red and ran up to Tyrantrum who began to spin in midair. Soon both Pokemon collided knocking Krookodile out and had Tyrantrum struggling to stay up.

"KROOKODILE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! TYRANTRUM WINS!"

"Oh man, at least Outrage did some damage. Krookodile return! SCEPTILE I CHOOSE YOU!"Krookodile was swapped out for Sceptile who appeared with the same determination to win as Ash did."BULLET SEED!"

"HORN DR-"Tyrantrum began to run but before he could start spinning, his foot got caught in one of Krookodile's holes from using Dig. Diantha gasped seeing Ash had planned that the whole time and watched Tyrantrum be hit by Bullet Seed.

"LEAF BLADE!"Tyrantrum roared in defeat before falling over unconscious after Sceptile slashed him with Leaf Blade.

"Tyrantrum no!"

"TYRANTRUM IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! SCEPTILE WINS!"

"I'm even more impressed now Ash."


"Wow Ash is close to winning!"

"Not really."

"Huh?"

"Ash has only defeated two Pokemon leaving their count four to four but remember...this is a champion we're talking about..."

"Though it may seem like two competing Chefs making the same dish are following the same recipe, only one will have the winning taste."

"What?"

"He said that even though they're both trying their hardest, only one will win."


"But prepare for my Aurorus!"Diantha returned Tyrantrum and sent out an Aurorus making Sceptile and Ash chuckle."What's so funny?"

"It's just that: Sceptile and I have been in a lot of fights since he was a Treecko, and like my Charizard we've been in fights where he's had all types of advantages or disadvantages or a fight I had no chance of winning like in the Sinnoh League against a nearly unstoppable Darkrai but we won. So facing your Aurorus...is NOTHING LIKE THE FIGHTS WE'VE FOUGHT!"Diantha was taken aback hearing about Ash and Sceptile's bond making Aurorus roar and begin to run towards the Grass type.

"Aurorus stop!"

"SCEPTILE USE QUICK ATTACK!"Sceptile was covered in a white light and slammed into Aurorus making the Ancient Pokemon roar and step back.

"BLIZZARD!"

"DETECT!"Sceptile's eye glinted before he did a flip over the flurry of snow shot at him by Aurorus and kept going towards him."BRICK BREAK!"He then punched Aurorus's head hard making him roar and shake his head."NOW SOLAR BEAM!"

"LIGHT SCREEN!"A wall of yellow light appeared in front of Aurorus acting as a shield from Sceptile who had the orbs on his back glowing yellow getting his power from the sun above him.

"FIRE!"Sceptile launched Solar Beam making it stop hitting the Light Screen. But Diantha gasped seeing the barrier be destroyed by the attack and hit Aurorus hard knocking him out.

"AURORUS IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! SCEPTILE WINS!"

"Great job Sceptile, now take a good rest."Ash returned Sceptile as Diantha returned Aurorus surprised.

"Wow, that was...wow. But now for my next Pokemon! GOURGEIST!"

"INFERNAPE I CHOOSE YOU!"Infernape appeared as Diantha's Average size Gourgeist did shocking Diantha.

"This battle is going to be quick I can tell. GOURGEIST SHADOW SNEAK!"

"DODGE IT!"Gourgeist disappeared into her shadow and merged with Infernape's making him jump up revealing her there.

"SEED BOMB!"

"FLAMETHROWER TO DESTROY IT!"Gourgeist fired colossal seeds at Infernape making him retaliate with Flamethrower destroying them and causing an explosion."FLARE BLITZ!"Gourgeist was hit by Infernape appearing from the smoke using Flare Blitz sending her flying past Diantha unconscious.

"GOURGEIST IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! INFERNAPE WINS!"

"Gourgeist return. You were prepared for me, your bond with Infernape is strong as well?"

"It is, so is my bond with all my Pokemon, I don't think I'm closer with a single Pokemon, all my Pokemon are my best friends."

"I see, GOODRA I CHOOSE YOU!"Ash gulped seeing Diantha's Goodra reminding him of his.


"Oh no."Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie gulped seeing Ash's expression while the others were confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Ash had a Goodra. He was such a nice Pokemon."

"But Ash had to release him to protect his friends in the Wetland he was from."

"So this will be difficult for him."


"What's wrong Ash?"

"Nothing, INFERNAPE USE MACH PUNCH!"

"MUDDY WATER!"Ash was surprised seeing Infernape be shot back by Goodra firing Muddy Water at him."Ash are you sure nothing's wrong?"

"Yeah I'm sure!"Ash closed his eyes and all the memories of his Goodra came flowing in.'Goodra's alright, he's fine, he's rooting for me I know it.'


"Goo."Ash was correct as Keenan, Bellsprout, and Goodra were watching his battle with Goodra worried about him.


"INFERNAPE FLAME WHEEL!"Infernape rolled into a wheel shape and began to spin covered in fire slamming into Goodra.

"MUDDY WATER AGAIN!"Goodra fired Muddy Water again sending Infernape back again confusing Diantha about Ash's strategy. Before she could call an attack to finish off Infernape, the whole room began to glow red as Infernape did.


"What's happening?"Paul, Brock, and Dawn gulped realizing what was happening watching Infernape stand up.

"Blaze."

"What?"

"Infernape's ability..."

"Blaze."


"INFERNAPE!"Infernape roared making Goodra and Diantha cover their eyes as the fire from his head made a column of it that was sent shooting high into the sky.

"INFERNAPE USE MACH PUNCH!"Goodra couldn't react being hit hard by Infernape who then grabbed her making her look into his anger filled eyes."FLARE BLITZ!"Both Pokemon were covered in the blue fire hurting Goodra while Infernape roared in anger before jumping up and improvising a seismic toss creating an explosion of fire making Diantha and everybody else except Ash cover their eyes. When it died down, Goodra was badly injured as Infernape was still in Blaze.

"DRAGON PULSE!"

"FLAMETHROWER!"Goodra fired a beam version of Dragon Pulse as Infernape fired a colossal Flamethrower making both attacks clash. But due to her weakened state, Goodra's Dragon Pulse was overtaken by Flamethrower making her be hit by the attack knocking her out.

"GOODRA IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! INFERNAPE WINS!"

"Great job Infernape."Infernape gave Ash a thumbs up before falling over unconscious.

"SCRATCH THAT, DUE TO INFERNAPE BECOMING UNCONSCIOUS BEFORE THE CHAMPION COULD SEND OUT HER LAST POKEMON, THIS BATTLE WAS A DRAW!"

"Alright so Diantha has Gardevoir left, SCEPTILE I CHOOSE YOU!"

"LET'S END THIS, GARDEVOIR!"Diantha sent out Gardevoir as Ash sent Sceptile out again making Ash and Diantha smile."Time to settle this."

"Yeah. SCEPTILE BULLET SEED!"

"No Gardevoir, let's do this like the old days. DODGE IT!"Gardevoir disappeared and reappeared behind Sceptile surprising him as she charged up a Shadow Ball."SHADOW BALL!"Sceptile was hit by the attack sending him sliding forward as she charged up another attack."MOONBLAST!"Gardevoir fired Moonblast at Sceptile knocking him out shocking Ash.

"SCEPTILE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! GARDEVOIR WINS!"

"Sceptile return! NOIVERN I CHOOSE YOU!"Ash returned Sceptile and sent out Noivern who roared at Gardevoir making her chuckle.

"MOONBLAST!"

"BREAK IT WITH BOOMBURST!"Gardevoir fired Moonblast at Noivern who retaliated shooting Boomburst at it destroying it and flew through the smoke towards her."HURRICANE!"Noivern flapped his wings at Gardevoir making a tornado envelop her making Ash smile. But that smile vanished as she broke through the tornado and fired a Moonblast at Noivern making him yell in pain.

"THUNDERBOLT!"Gardevoir held her hands at Noivern firing a Thunderbolt at Noivern knocking him out beginning to breathe heavily.

"NOIVERN IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! GARDEVOIR WINS!"

"It's time pal, you ready?"

"Pika."Pikachu ran onto the field looking at Gardevoir ready to fight surprising her.

"Great, GARDEVOIR SHADOW BALL!"

"DESTROY IT WITH IRON TAIL!"Pikachu did a flip using Iron Tail breaking Gardevoir's Shadow Ball in half making Diantha smile.

"I never thought I'd have to resort to this, GARDEVOIR MEGA EVOLVE!"Diantha touched her Key Stone on her Pendant causing her Gardevoir to Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir making Ash smile."MOONBLAST!"

"SPIN!"Pikachu spun in place making Moonblast go right by him only grazing his fur and sent it into the wall."QUICK ATTACK!"

"DODGE IT!"

"USE IRON TAIL!"Pikachu ran up to Gardevoir who disappeared and reappeared next to him. Before she could react, Pikachu hit Gardevoir hard in the face with Iron Tail surprising both Gardevoir and Diantha.

"No one's landed that type of hit before...PSYCHIC!"Gardevoir touched where Pikachu hit her making her eyes glow blue and lift him up off the ground.

"THUNDERBOLT!"Gardevoir lost her focus as Pikachu hit her with Thunderbolt making Ash smile."THUNDER!"Pikachu let out Thunder even stronger than he ever has hitting Gardevoir making her yell in pain."TIME TO END IT! ELECTRO BALL AND USE VOLT TACKLE!"

'It's time I stepped down...welcome to the life of being a Champion.'Diantha and Gardevoir closed their eyes smiling as Pikachu fired Electro Ball and ran into it with Volt Tackle boosting the attack and slammed hard into the Champion's Pokemon making an explosion. When it died down, Pikachu was breathing heavily standing over Gardevoir who laid on the floor unconscious.


"H-He did it."

"A-Ash..."

"Is..."


"GARDEVOIR IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! PIKACHU WINS! AND THAT MEANS THAT THE WINNER AND NEW KALOS CHAMPION IS ASH FROM PALLET TOWN!"Everybody watching began to cheer as Pikachu ran into Ash's arms with tears in both their eyes.

"Great job Ash, welcome to the life of a Champion."Diantha walked up to Ash and shook his hand as he hugged Pikachu tightly."Come, time to enter you in the Hall of Fame."
