Chapter 11: The Dream Starts

Trent comes from the tunnel that connects the battle area to the dressing room. As he walks across the long walking area, he thinks about a thousand possibilities and strategies but as soon as he reaches the near end of the tunnel, he takes a deep breath, calms himself, and focuses on his earlier finalized strategy. As Trent arrives at the battlefield, standing in his area, is wearing black jeans, and a white t-shirt with silver string designs at the chest underneath a black zip-up shirt.

The previous 6 months were quite harsh on Trent, He lost his Haxorus, who stayed in the forest near The Village of Dragons in Unova City. Haxorus wanted to train many new dragon-type Pokemon who stayed there. Trent, who went on countless adventures with Haxorus, respected its decision and had a tearful goodbye. His Flygon finds its family near Mirage Tower in Hoenn Region and wishes to travel and live with them. Of course, Trent wanted Flygon to be happy and promised to meet it again.

After winning the final round of Preliminary rounds of the Pokemon World Championship, trainers were given 6 months to prepare themselves and to reach Driftviel city, where the next round will begin. Trent planned to visit multiple regions for training and spent the last 2 months at Pokétopia.

"This battle between Trent Fernandez of Eterna City from Hoenn Region, and Mark Henry of Pewter City from Kanto Region. This is a three-on-three match with both trainers being allowed to make substitutions at will, and the match will end when all three of either trainer's Pokemon are defeated, or if one trainer forfeits. This match will be held on a plain, Grass battlefield. Are both trainers ready?" the referee asks as Trent comes out of this thought bubble

Both Trainers nods

"Then please send out your first Pokemon."

"Arcanine, Ready for Battle", Mark says as he sends his Fire Pokemon from the Kanto region

"Abomasnow, I choose you", Trent calls. The Forest Tree Pokemon appeared on the grassy battlefield. As soon as it arrives, Snow started to fall on the entire battlefield

"Arcanine versus Abomasnow, begin!" the referee says

"Snow Warning uh, It won't matter, Arcanine use Flamethrower" Mark starts

"Use Rock Tomb to defend yourself", Trent says

Arcanine releases a red-orange stream of fire from its mouth at the Abomasnow, who shouts out and giant rocks shoot out of the ground in front of it. The stream of fire hit the rocks, causing no damage to Abomansnow

"Use Earthquake", Trent commands

"Jump and use Fire Blast", Mark shouts

Abomasnow slams his foot hard on the ground, causing the battlefield to shake. Arcanine jumps high in the air to avoid the attack and fires a kanji-shaped fire from its mouth.

"Hit it with Water Pulse", Trent counters

Abomasnow puts its hands together and forms a blue sphere of water in between its hands. It fires the sphere at the incoming fire-type move. Both attacks collide and create a could of smoke on the battlefield. Arcanine, on the other hand, is constantly getting hit by falling snow.

"Now Trap it with Rock Tomb", Trent says

Abomasnow, shouts out again and giant rocks shoot out of the ground, this time, surrounding Arcanine closely

"Use Iron Tail to break them", Mark says

"Earthquake Now"

Arcanite's tail glow white and hit started to hit the giant rock boulders and breaks them. Suddenly, Arcanine got hit back at the rock as Abomasnow slams its foot with mighty strength on the ground, causing a tremor in the battlefield

"Use Water Pulse", Trent says

Abomasnow fires a blue sphere of water from its hands which hits Arcanince from the gap in boulders that Arcanine creates to free itself. After being hit many multiple super-effective moves, Arcanine pants heavily with damage

"Arcanine, you alright? Dammit, he is good, Arcanine, use Extremespeed", Mark senses and commands as Arcanine nods

"Use Earthquake again", Trent says having only a few options

Arcanine's body becomes outlined in a light-green color and then it charges at the Abomasnow at a high speed. Abomasnow takes the attack with full force but is able to stand his ground. Then, Abomasnow slams his foot again to the ground, causing a tremor. Arcanine, who is in close range, unable to dodge the attack and got knocked out many feet back.

"Use Close Combat"

"Hit is back with Wood Hammer"

Arcanine, somehow, able to stand up, rushes towards Abomasnow and started to hit Abomasnow with its palms Soon, Arcanine met with a fist surrounded by a green aura, which pushes Arcanine a few paces back. Green bolts surround Abomasnow due to recoil

"It's Our chance, Use Flame Wheel", Mark yells

"Rock Tomb to defend yourself", Trent says

Arcanine runs at the opponent and its whole body becomes enveloped in flames but hits the giants rocks summoned by Abomasnow

"Use Fire Fang"

"Now use Water Pulse"

Arcanine breaks the flame from its body and opens its mouth, which becomes surrounded by red-orange flames. It tries to bite down on Abomasnow but got hit by the blue sphere of water on its face. Arcanine, unable to take too many super-effective moves, falls on the ground, unconscious.

"Arcanine is unable to battle, Abomasnow is the winner!" The ref announces.

Mark returns Arcanine back to its Pokeball. He cannot believe his strongest fire type is defeated by Abomasnow. Still, he has two remaining, he chooses another. "Umbreon, Go!"

"Umbreon versus Abomasnow, begin!" the referee says

"Umbreon, use Dark Pulse", Mark says

"Hit it with Ice Beam", Trent shouts

Umbreon opens its mouth and a light purple orb of energy surrounded by black and purple rings of energy appears inside it. It then fires a beam of black and purple rings of energy from the orb inside its mouth at Abomasnow. Abomansow opens its mouth and fires multiple light blue beams of energy from the orb. Both the attacks collided but the Snow Warning and brutal strength of Abomasnow makes Ice Beam stronger, which soon pushes the Dark Pulse back and hit Umbream, freezing its lower body

"No, We have to do something, Use Rain Dance", Mark says, hesitantly

"That's a surprise, but it won't stop us, Use Blizzard, cover the whole field", Trent says

Umbreon forms a blue ball of water in front of its head and fires it at the sky, causing a large rain cloud to appear above the battlefield. The rain overtakes the falling snow, decreasing the advantages of the Ice-type moves. Abomosnow, unfazed by it, opens its mouth and fires a barrage of icy wind from its mouth to the entire battlefield. The chilly winds freeze Umbreon's whole body

"Use Iron tail to destroy the ice"

"Hit it with Wood Hammer"

Inside the ice, Umreon's tail started to become white and it smashes the ice, freeing Umbreon. Unaware of the Abomasnow, who hit Umbreon with a fist surrounded with a green aura, sending it back.

"This is ending quick, Umbreon use Hyper Beam", Mark commands

"Counter with Ice Beam"

Umbreon opens its mouth and an orange ball of energy appears in front of its mouth. It fires a beam of orange energy from its mouth at Abomasnow, who opens its mouth and fires multiple light blue beams of energy from the orb in front of its mouth. Both the attacks collided and to the crowds' surprise, Ice Beam is blocking Hyper Beam if not overpowering it, showing the power of Abomasnow. Both attacks burst out, creating a small cloud of smoke and dust

"Now use Ice Punch"

Abomansnow's hand is surrounded by an icy glow and he hit Umbreon on the head, who is still recharging from its previous attack. Umbream slides across the snowy-wet grass and stops in front of its trainer, with black swirls in its eyes.

"Umbreon is unable to battle, Abomasnow is the winner!" The ref announces.

Mark returns his Umbreon back to its Pokeball. His eyes are wide, can't believe what is happening. He throws another Pokeball, sending out a Fruit Pokémon

"Tropius versus Abomasnow, begin!" the referee says

"Tropius, in the air and use Air Slash", Mark says

"Abomasnow use Ice Beam", Trent counters

Tropius's wings glow light blue. It flaps its wings, firing multiple light-blue, glowing blades of energy from them. Abomasnow fires multiple light blue beams of energy from the orb in front of its mouth, which easily overpowers the blades of wind and hit Tropius in the chest. Tropius cried in pain after being hit by a 4X super-effective move and falls to the ground.

"Tropius, No!, Try to use Giga Impact"

"Now use Blizzard", Trent says, sensing his victory

Tropius, who is trying to get up, gets hit by chilling winds of thick snow, knocking it out.

"Tropius is unable to battle, Abomasnow is the winner and the match goes to Trent Fernandez of Eterna City!" The ref announces.

The crowd erupts after watching commanding victories from The Forest Tree Pokemon. Trent pats Abomasnow for his efforts and returns it to its Pokeball. He watches Mark, who is already leaving for his dressing room. Trent knows that this competition is tough and there are many challenges await him.

The big screen shows a victory for Trent who is now second of his group of 5 members with Mark slipping to fourth.
