Ash wakes up the next day feeling a little sick. He looks around and sees the girls and Clemont talking.

"Oh man, I don't feel so good." Serena looks over and grabs a cup and heads over to Ash. "Good morning, sleepy head." She gives him the cup. "Morning. I haven't had that good of a rest in a long time." Ash says yawning and stretching. "You might want to drink that Ash." Clemont says. Ash drinks and almost instantly feels better. He gets up and stretches some more.

"Man that was good. What's in that stuff?" He asks. "With a little of Magic potion from Lucy's purse, we created a tea that makes you fell instantly well." Clemont explains. "Cool."

"Hey guys!" Natsu says as he walks up. "Morning Natsu." Everyone says. "That celebration was awesome! I just wish half of the guild wasn't passed out." Natsu says. "Well you guys fought for half the night." Ash says. Natsu puts a hand on the back of his head and gives a nervous laugh.

"Hey Ash, can I ask you something?" He asks. "Sure, what is it?" "Can I have a battle with you and Pikachu?" Everyone was surprised by this question. Lucy choked on some water she was drinking. Bonnie and Clemont stare at Natsu with open mouths. Everyone else just waits to see the answer. "After all you've done for me, how can I say no? Lets go." Ash gets pumped up and starts running to the clearing. "Ash! You might want to change clothes first!" Mirajane says. Ash stops in his place and sweat drops down his head. "Oh, right" Everyone starts laughing.

Ash starts getting dressed while Natsu starts eating to get his energy up. Gray comes up and wonders what's going on. "Hey guys. What's going on?" "Hey Gray. You won't believe this. Natsu and Ash are going to have a battle!" Lucy says. "I thought Ash didn't have any magic power." Erza says as she comes up. "He doesn't. He is going to use his pokemon to fight Natsu." Clemont says. "Are they that strong?" "His Pikachu is like a little Laxus. It's very powerful." Gray says. "He trains with his pokemon almost all the time. They are very strong." Serena explains. "Don't count out Natsu. He is very strong when pumped up." Erza says. "We should make the whole Guild watch this!" Lisanna suggests. "That would be a great idea. It can show you guys the world of pokemon and we can learn more about your magic." Clemont says. "I'm okay with it." Natsu says with his mouth full. "You think Ash would be?" Bonnie asks. "Of course I would be." Ash says dressed in his normal clothes. "We just need to wait for the guild to wake up from the celebration." Gray says.

A few hours later

Everyone in the group starts waking up and getting ready for the match. Getting pumped up, Ash and Natsu go to a clearing big enough for everyone to watch and so they have enough room to fight. Eventually they find a big field for everyone to enjoy the fight. Bonnie goes to the middle of the field. "Alright guys you ready?" She asks them. "You know I am!" Ash says smiling. "Pikachu! (Lets do this!)" Natsu nods with a confident smile. "Then, begin!" "Here we go." Makarov says to himself.

"Froakie, Come on out!" He throws Froakie's pokeball out and he pops out. "Ash I thought I was facing Pikachu." Natsu says. "Well I thought that you would want to fight me at my full power so you're fighting against all of my pokemon." Ash says confidently. "You know me so well and we only met yesterday. All right then, if you're not going to hold back, neither am I!" Natsu makes the bottom of his feet on fire and jumps in the air.

"Froakie, use your frubbles to stop him from moving in the air!"

Froakie picks his frubbles and throws them at Natsu's legs. Natsu dodges them and propels toward Froakie. He turns and tries to kick Froakie but he dodges.

"Nice dodge. Ash you trained him well. However, he won't be able to dodge this. Fire Dragon Roar!"

"Froakie, Double team!"
Froakie moves around and starts using double team. Natsu looks around before doing the move to try and find the real one. He can't find the real one so he uses his roar and spins around to hit all of them and eventually hits the real one.

"Hah, got him." Froakie is knocked back but quickly gets back on his feet. "Man you're tough bugger aren't you." Natsu says to himself.

"Froakie, use Bubble!"

Froakie aims Bubble at Natsu but Natsu dodges. "Missed me!" Natsu jeers. "True, but you might want to look at where you're standing." Ash says with a grin. Natsu looks down and lifts his right foot and notices Froakie's frubbles at the bottom of his show. "What is this?" "It's Froakie's frubbles. The things on his collar are frubbles and they are very sticky. And now you are trapped in them."

Natsu tries jumping but struggles and doesn't move. He then keeps trying to jump out of them. He then sets his feet on fire to melt them.

"Use more of your frubbles to keep him pinned down!"

Froakie keeps throwing his frubbles until Natsu's covered up to his knees. "Hey! What's the big idea! Too scared to fight me so you have to trap me!?" "Hey, it's just smart planning, now use pound!" Ash commands. "Wait what."

Froakie pounds Natsu in the face and Natsu starts falling over. "Wait wait wait wait wait wait!" Natsu says slowly then starts speeding up. He falls over and hits the back of his head on the ground. Everyone oo's .

Froakie jumps on Natsu's stomach. He looks at him and says "Froakie fro (Nice landing.)" Natsu gets a little mad then breaths fire on Froakie. Froakie has ashes all over him. He stands still for a minute then falls over, passed out.

"Froakie is unable to battle, Natsu wins round one!" Bonnie announces. Ash returns froakie to his pokeball and says "Nice job, now take a good rest." He puts his pokeball away and waits for Natsu to pick the frubbles off himself. "Nice going Ash, using frubbles to pin me was a good move, but a bit unfair. And that pound was really good to." "Thanks, we always train hard." "Very nice double team too." As they both keep complimenting each other, the spectators start having conversations too.

"Not a lot of people can take Natsu's Fire Dragon Roar." Lucy says to Serena. "Well, Ash trains with his pokémon any chance he gets, and he never gives up without a fight." Serena explains. "I'm a little excited, if Froakie can take a bit of a beating, I'd love to see Pikachu versing Natsu." "Yeah it will be a good match."

"Natsu may be strong, but he usually just goes in on brute force." Macao says to Clemont. "Ash usually does that too, but sometimes he comes up with a plan." Clemont explain. "Won't matter, Dragon slayers are the toughest and most fearless mages throughout the world." Gajeel says. "Yeah even though you ran away when you challenged Laxus." Lily says "SHUT UP!" Everyone laughs.

"You ready to begin guys?" Bonnie asks them. They both nod their heads.

"Fletchling, come on out!" Ash says. The pokémon comes out of its ball and starts hovering in the air.

"A bird? What can a bird do?" Natsu asks. "Use steel wing!"

Fletchling charge at Natsu and hits him in the sides. He does a u turn, and then hits Natsu's other side. He keeps doing this until Natsu grabs on to his tail feathers. Natsu makes his hand on fire to burn Fletchling.

"Use peck!"

Fletchling pecks Natsu hands before he lets go then flies up in the air.

"Ow! That's it. Fire Dragon Sword Horn!" Natsu's body is engulfed with flames and he charges upward to head-butt Fletchling.

"Double team, quickly." Ash commands.

Fletchling double teams as soon as Natsu hits him. Natsu notices the double team and sees fletchling everywhere and starts turning to hit all of them. He hits all the copies and notices only one left. He charges at the only one left.

"Now use Razor wind!"

Fletchling uses razor wind on Natsu but the attack bounces off him and gets head-butted by Natsu. He starts falling then hits the ground hard. Fletchling passed out.

"Fletchling is unable to Battle!" Ash returns fletchling as Natsu descends down. "All right Natsu, you ready to fight Pikachu?" Ash asks with a smile on his face. "You know it! No holding back." Natsu says confidently. Everyone watching holds their breath for the most anticipated battle ever. Silence fills the air as they both stare into each other's eyes, confident looks on their faces.

"Ready Pikachu?" "Pika pika. (You know it.)" Pikachu runs out into the field as Natsu gets into his fighting stance. All three of them stare each other down, half smiling, have confident. Then, Ash makes the first move.

"Pikachu, Iron tail!

Pikachu jumps in the air, spins to turn his tail to iron, then tries to hit Natsu. Natsu rolls backward to dodge the attack then Uses Fire Dragon Iron fist on Pikachu. Pikachu is hit but regains his balance the minute he hits the ground. Natsu makes fire fists then charges at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, dodge then use quick attack."

Natsu punches Pikachu but misses. Natsu keeps trying and trying but can't lie a hit. When he finally tries to kick Pikachu, It misses still but, Pikachu goes in between Natsu's legs and begins doing Quick attack. He turns, then charges at Natsu. Natsu turns around and sees Pikachu charging at him. Before he can put up his arms to guard himself, Pikachu rams him right in the gut. Natsu is spitting out a little fire. When Natsu gets knocked back, he kneels on his right leg and punches his right fist in the ground.

"Nice hit." Natsu says as he kneels. He starts coughing a bit. The Crowd has shocked looks on their faces. Lucy is shaking a little. Ash doesn't wait for Natsu to get up.

"Use Iron Tail again!"

Pikachu charges at Natsu then attacks him with iron tail. Natsu grabs Pikachu's tail when it hits, then slams him to the ground. He stands up then slams Pikachu to the ground again and again. Just as he lifts him up Ash says. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!"

Pikachu uses thunder bolt when Natsu lifts him in the air straight above him. Natsu gets shocked and stays still for a minute. Ash doesn't hesitate.

"Escape then use electro ball!"

Pikachu escapes Natsu's grasp, then jumps into the air. He aims Electro ball at Natsu's face. Laxus gets very interested in the match. The electro ball hits Natsu and he gets knocked back. He starts twitching a little but tries to get back up.

"Quick attack!"

Pikachu starts running toward Natsu. Natsu sees him coming and tries to move but is paralyzed. He keeps trying to move but can't. Just as Pikachu is about hit him, a cage comes out of nowhere and traps Pikachu and Natsu.
