The chapter begins 2 days after the last one ended. During these 2 days the gang have mostly been relaxing, taking it easy. Misty during this time was taking care of her Pokemon egg and bonding with Tirtouga. Misty's Tirtouga has a very outgoing personality, loves playing with Misty's other water Pokemon along with Ash and Brock's Pokemon. Brock has been getting more supplies and spending time with Shieldon so far, Shieldon is only really close to Brock whenever it interacts with anyone else it begins to cry. But Shieldon does tend to get along well with Brock's Kangaskan both the mom and baby love spending time with it making it feel comfortable. Ash during these 2 days has been relaxing and training his Pokemon Tyrunt is a strong Pokemon it gets along well with Ash's Totodile, Gible, Fuecoco and Krokorok. The 4 of them always compete to see who has the stronger biting force Gyarados also hangs out with them too and competes with them. Ash's Charizard during the past 2 days has been training it's happy that it's finally achieved its goal. Now that Charizard evolved it makes Ash's other fire types more motivated to get stronger. Charizard and Gyarados's training battles have become even more intense with Charizard even being able to defeat Gyarados making the sea serpent even more motivated to train. Now that Charizard can fly it also takes part in sky battles along with Ash's other flying Pokemon. Leaf during the 2 days was spending time with Amaura along with her other 4 prehistoric Pokemon as she was training them Leaf somehow stumbled upon the Cinnabar Gym battled the gym leader and got the gym badge. Currently the group of Ash, Misty and Brock are on the docks of Cinnabar Island saying their goodbyes to Leaf and Gary Misty then speaks.
"Do you really have to go?" Misty asks looking at Leaf.
"Yes, I've already got my gym badge and have achieved everything I wanted to do on Cinnabar" Leaf responds with Misty nodding Ash looks at Gary and speaks.
"So, you're leaving too Gary?" Ash asks as Gary speaks.
"Yep, I've spent enough time on Cinnabar Island too it's time to leave and get my final badge" Gary responds with Ash nodding Brock then speaks.
"Leaf before you go will you be able to tell us where the gym is?" Brock asks as Leaf speaks.
"Unfortunately, the gym leader told me not to reveal the location of the gym as he prefers trainers to find it themselves." Leaf responds the group is a little disappointed but nod in understanding Gary then speaks.
"Well Leaf I'm going to get on the ship see ya later Brock, Misty and Ashy boy" Gary says as he begins to walk on the ship Misty looks at Leaf and speaks.
"It was fun traveling with you during this time" Misty says as Leaf speaks.
"Yeah, I had a lot of fun too I can't wait to see what kind of Pokemon hatches from your egg" Leaf responds with Misty nodding the two then hug, Leaf then hugs Brock and Ash too she then looks at Ash and speaks.
"Ash good luck in your gym battle in the Cinnabar gym and I'll contact you when I get my final badge" Leaf says with Ash nodding. After that Gary and Leaf board the ship heading to the location of Viridian City. Ash, Misty and Brock wave goodbye they keep waving until the ship is out of view, they then walk back to the Pokemon Center. When they're in the center they ask Nurse Joy where they can find the Cinnabar Gym, she points in the direction of the gym on the map the gang then walk to it. When they make it to their location, they find the gym but instead of a well-built building it's all destroyed the group get shocked looks on their faces as Ash speaks.
"What happened?" Ash questions but neither Brock nor Misty know that's when they hear a familiar voice.
"2 years ago, there was a storm that destroyed this building" The voice says the gang look and see the man they saw when they first arrived at Cinnabar Island Ash looks at him and speaks.
"This building was destroyed 2 years ago?" Ash asks with the man nodding as he speaks.
"Yes, the gym leader was sad that the building was destroyed so he moved it to another spot on the island" The man responds as Ash speaks.
"Do you know where?" Ash asks as the man speaks.
"Why yes I do but first I want you to answer this riddle what's a place so hot that even fire fighters would lose" The man says making the group confused they begin to think as Ash speaks.
"A place where fire fighters would lose?" Ash says as he and Brock are thinking Misty then speaks.
"Would that be a Volcano?" Misty asks as the man speaks.
"Right, you are young lady" The man says as Brock speaks.
"So that would mean that the gym is somewhere on the Volcano?" Brock asks as the man nods and speaks.
"Yes, somewhere on the Volcano is where the gym is I wish you all luck" The man says as he goes to leave Misty looks at Ash and speaks.
"So, what do you want to do Ash?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.
"Simple the gym is somewhere on the Volcano right so I'm going there and I'm getting my gym badge" Ash responds with Pikachu nodding Misty and Brock nod and they all head towards the Volcano.
10 minutes later the group made it to the Volcano they've been searching for and entrance for the gym but can't find anything that is until Misty sees something.
"Hey is this a door?" Misty asks as Brock and Ash walk over Brock then speaks.
"It certainly looks like a door" Brock responds as Misty speaks.
"What do you suppose is inside?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.
"Well, whatever it is hopefully it leads to the gym" Ash says he then grabs the door handle and pushes the door open. What they see next isn't what the 3 of them were expecting, they see what looks like a bath Ash then speaks.
"A bath? What's a bath doing here?" Ash questions as Brock speaks.
"I'm not sure maybe this will somehow lead us to the gym" Brock says as Ash speaks.
"But how's a bath going to lead us to the gym?" Ash asks but Brock doesn't know Misty then speaks.
"Well since we're here I suggest we dive in" Misty says as Ash and Brock look at her Ash then speaks.
"Really Misty are you being serious right now?" Ash says as Misty speaks.
"Yes, I'm being serious maybe the gym leader wants us to take a bath before entering the gym" Misty responds as Ash speaks.
"Are you sure it's not because you just want to go in the water" Ash responds with Pikachu and Brock coming to the same conclusion Misty blushes in embarrassment then speaks.
"Well do you two have any other Ideas?" Misty asks as Ash and Brock can't think of anything Misty smiles and speaks.
"Good now if you excuse me, I'm going on my side while you two go on your side" Misty says as she begins to walk to her side of the bath with Ash and Brock doing the same.
10 minutes later the gang are currently relaxing in the bath Misty then speaks.
"Ah this feels nice don't you agree Sobble, Quaxly?" Misty asks the two mons agree as they continue to happily swim in the water. Meanwhile, on the boy's side Ash, Brock and Pikachu are enjoying the water too Brock then speaks.
"Misty was right this is relaxing I feel as though all of my problems are being washed away" Brock says with Pikachu agreeing Ash then speaks.
"I'll admit this is nice and all, but I still don't understand how this will lead us to the gym" Ash says with Brock, Misty and Pikachu thinking the same thing. Meanwhile, on Misty's side as Sobble and Quaxly keep swimming they see something that has the face of a Gyarados adding water to the bath. Sobble and Quaxly get curious they begin to investigate when Sobble gets on top of the Gyarados head it moves down shocking the two mons as a pathway opens and the fence that was blocking the boys' and girls' side of the bath suddenly goes down. Brock quickly turns away while Ash and Misty look at each other they both blush as Misty yells.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Misty lets out a loud yell as she quickly throws something at Ash making him fall into the water Misty quickly grabs a towel and speaks.
"What happened why did the fence go down?!" Misty questions but neither Ash, Brock or Pikachu know as they're wondering the same Sobble and Quaxly then speak.
"Sob, sob" "Quax, Quax" The two mons say the gang look at them and see a pathway that leads to somewhere Misty then speaks.
"A pathway?" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"Where do you think it could lead?" Brock asks as Ash speaks.
"That's obvious it's probably where the gym is come on let's go" Ash says with Misty and Brock nodding they all quickly put on their clothes and begin walking down the pathway.
5 minutes later as they're walking down the stairs, they start to notice that it's starting to feel hot Misty then speaks.
"Does anyone else feel hot?" Misty asks with Ash and Brock nodding yes, they keep walking until they see a door the group look at it as Brock speaks.
"A door? This must be where the gym is" Brock says as Ash speaks.
"Alright then let's head inside" Ash says he quickly goes to grab the door handle but the moment he does his hand starts to burn Ash quickly let's go and yells.
"IT BURNS!" Ash yells in pain a few seconds later the pain goes away as Brock speaks.
"How are we going to get in if the door's too hot?" Brock questions as Misty speaks.
"Simple we cool it down Sobble, Quaxly use Water Gun!" Misty says with the two-mons nodding they quickly fire the Water Gun cooling down the door. A few seconds later when the door has cooled down enough, Ash then goes to open the door again he pulls it the door opens and the gang head inside. When they're inside they all get surprised looks on their faces when they see a battlefield in the middle and below it is lava Misty then speaks.
"Is this really the gym?" Misty questions as Brock speaks.
"It must be since there's a battlefield here" Brock responds with the gang nodding they then hear a voice.
"Well done finding the gym" The voice says the gang look and see the man from earlier on the other side of the battlefield the gang get shocked looks on their faces as Ash speaks.
"Wait does this mean that you're the gym leader?" Ash asks as the man speaks.
"Before I answer that here's a riddle what helps protect your eyes from the sun and keeps your head warm" The man says as Ash begins to think Misty speaks.
"Oh, I get it sunglasses keep your eyes protected from the sun while a wig keeps your head warm" Misty says as the man nods and speaks.
"Very good your right again young lady now it's time for me to reveal myself" The man says as he takes off his wig showcasing that he's bald he keeps the sunglasses on and speaks.
"My name is Blaine the gym leader of the Cinnabar Gym" Blaine says as the group nod Brock then speaks.
"So, you're the gym leader, why didn't you reveal yourself earlier and take us to the gym?" Brock asks as Blaine speaks.
"Simple before I face a challenger, I like to test the minds of trainers giving them riddles to check on their mental state. Since as a trainer you should also learn to work on your mind too." Blaine responds as Ash speaks.
"So, is that how Gary, Paul and Ritchie found your gym?" Ash asks as Blaine speaks.
"Yes, I told the 3 of them riddles but they all figured out who I was in an instant" Blaine responds as Misty speaks.
"What about Leaf?" Misty asks as Blaine speaks.
"Like she told you she just found my gym at random I was just relaxing eating a bowl of ramen noodles until she accidentally stumbled here" Blaine responds with the group nodding Blaine then speaks.
"So, Ash, was it? Tell me are you ready to challenge me?" Blaine asks as Ash speaks.
"Yep, I'm already to go" Ash responds having an excited look on his face Blaine looks at Ash he smiles and speaks.
"I see very well then, I'll explain the rules, this will be a 6v6 full battle only you the challenger is allowed to make substitutions whoever defeats all of their opponents Pokemon first will be declared the winner" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Is there no referee?" Ash asks as Blaine speaks.
"Nope you seem experience enough to the point where you should be able to know when your Pokemon has fainted, so a referee isn't needed" Blaine answers with Ash nodding Blaine grabs a Pokeball then speaks.
"Now here's my first Pokemon Go! Flareon!" Blaine says throwing the ball in the air what appears is a small red fox like Pokemon it gets into a battle stance as Ash scans it with his Pokedex.
"Flareon, the Flame Pokémon another one of Eevee's evolutions. A Fire type. Flareon stores some of the air it breathes in an internal flame pouch, where it heats the air to 3,000 degrees" The Pokedex says Ash looks at it and speaks.
"A Flareon huh well this one should be enough Boldore I choose you!" Ash says bringing in the ore Pokemon it gets in a battle stance ready for battle in the stands Misty speaks.
"Boldore's up first" Misty says with Brock nodding Blaine then speaks.
"A Boldore huh? Interesting don't think sending it out gives you an advantage against my Flareon" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Don't worry I know" Ash responds Blaine smiles as he speaks.
"Well then now that we've sent out our first Pokemon the battle now begins I'll go first Flareon use Sunny Day then Flamethrower!" Blaine calls Flareon roars it summons the harsh sunlight increasing the power of its fire power Flareon then fires the stream of fire towards Boldore. Ash isn't worried as he makes a command.
"Boldore use Stone Edge!" Ash calls Boldore roars it stomps on the battlefield summoning the sharp stones it collides with the Flamethrower creating an explosion Ash calls for his next move.
"Boldore use Rock Blast!" Ash calls Boldore quickly fires multiple blasts of rocks towards Flareon Blaine makes a command.
"Flareon knock them away with Iron Tail!" Blaine calls the flame Pokemon covers its tail in steel energy and easily knocks away the Rock Blast but that's what Ash wanted as he calls for his next move.
"Now Power Gem!" Ash calls Boldore fires 4 gems towards Flareon they all hit the flame Pokemon doing super effective damage to it Flareon groans in pain as Blaine speaks.
"Flareon use Fire Spin!" Blaine calls Flareon fires the fire tornado trapping Boldore inside. The fire spin damages Boldore a little bit, but the ore Pokemon is fine it then looks up and sees Flareon heading towards it as Blaine speaks.
"Flareon use Overheat!" Blaine calls the flare Pokemon fires the big wave of fire it heads towards Boldore as Ash makes a command.
"Boldore use Rock Polish to get out of the fire spin and dodge the Overheat!" Ash calls shocking Blaine as Boldore glows sharply raising its speed the ore Pokemon dashes forward it bursts through the Fire Spin before the Overheat hit it Flareon then lands back on the battlefield as Boldore appears in front of it Blaine then speaks.
"Flareon Iron Tail!" "Boldore dodge then use Stone Edge!" Both trainers call Flareon quickly covers its tail in steel energy it goes to hit Boldore but the ore Pokemon easily dodges it then stomps its foot on the ground summoning the large sharp rocks they hit Flareon causing super effective damage sending it high in the air. Flareon lands on the battlefield groaning in pain Ash calls for his next command.
"Boldore use Power Gem!" "Dodge Flareon!" Both trainers call Boldore quickly fires the 4 gems Flareon's unable to dodge in time as the 4 gems hit it, Flareon is then sent flying pass Blaine hitting the wall behind him. Flareon then falls on the ground showing no signs of standing back up it's knocked out the Sunny Day also goes away as Ash speaks.
"Yeah! Way to go Boldore!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer with Boldore nodding in the stands Brock speaks.
"Blaine wasn't expecting Ash to have Boldore use Rock Polish, it surprised him allowing for Ash to get major hits on Flareon and win" Brock says with Misty nodding Blaine returns Flareon telling it thank you he looks back at the battlefield and speaks.
"Impressive Ash you are skilled I didn't expect for you to have Boldore to use Rock Polish as they're not very speedy Pokemon" Blaine says Ash nods and speaks.
"Thanks, when I was training Boldore I wanted to give it a way where it could be speedy too, so Brock helped me teach it Rock Polish" Ash responds with Boldore nodding Blaine smiles he takes out his next Pokeball and speaks.
"Well since your Boldore became speedy I might as well bring in a speedy Pokemon of my own Go! Tauros!" Blaine says what appears from the Pokeball is a Paldean Blaze Breed Tauros it lands on the battlefield shaking it and gives a loud roar sending out a shockwave. The bull then looks at Boldore and gets into a charging position while Boldore gets into a battle stance Ash looks at Tauros and speaks.
"This Tauros it looks to be a little bit stronger than Blaze but no matter because we're still going to win." Ash says to himself he looks at Boldore and speaks.
"You want to still keep going Boldore?" Ash asks with the ore Pokemon nodding as Blaine speaks.
"Seeing as you're still keeping Boldore in I'll let you have the first move" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Thanks, but you better not regret it afterward Boldore use Stone Edge!" Ash calls the ore Pokemon quickly stomps on the battlefield summoning the sharp rocks they head towards Tauros as Blaine speaks.
"Tauros charge forward and use Drill Run!" Blaine calls his Tauros roars it spins becoming a drill the bull charges forward easily destroying the Stone Edge and hits Boldore creating an explosion Boldore is sent soaring in the air. Tauros skids back while Boldore falls from the sky landing on its back Blaine then calls for his next command.
"Now Tauros use Iron Head!" Blaine calls the bull roars it starts running towards Boldore as Ash quickly makes a command.
"Boldore use Earthquake!" Ash calls "Jump Tauros and hit Boldore!" Blaine calls when Boldore stomps on the battlefield shaking it Blaine's Tauros jumps dodging the attack it continues to head towards Boldore and hits the ore Pokemon causing super effective damage Blaine calls for his next move.
"Now Tauros finish it off with Drill Run!" "Boldore Dodge!" Both trainers call Tauros becomes a drill it heads towards Boldore, the ore Pokemon is unable to move as it's flinching Tauros then hits Boldore causing an explosion. Boldore flies through the air then comes back down and is knocked out Ash has a shocked expression on his face he grabs Boldore's Pokeball and speaks.
"Boldore return" Ash says returning the ore Pokemon Ash tells it to get a good rest as Blaine speaks.
"So, who's next?" Blaine asks as Ash smiles; he pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.
"This one will be the perfect counter against your Tauros Aqua I choose you!" Ash says bringing the bull in when it appears it gives a mighty roar sending out a shockwave. Aqua then looks at Blaine's Tauros and gets in a charging position with Blaine's Tauros doing the same in the stands Misty speaks.
"Ash's using Aqua next it should be able to keep up with Blaine's Tauros" Misty says with Brock agreeing back on the battlefield Blaine speaks.
"You've a Paldean Tauros too and it's the water breed" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Yep, I also have the Blaze and Combat breeds along with the Kanto Tauros back at Oak's lab they run around and train together all the time so I'm confident that Aqua can defeat your Tauros" Ash says with Aqua nodding Blaine smiles and speaks.
"We'll see about that Tauros use Wild Charge!" Blaine calls his Tauros roars it covers its body in electricity and charges towards Aqua. Neither Ash nor Aqua are scared as Ash calls for a command.
"Aqua counter with Drill Run!" Ash calls Aqua roars it becomes a drill and shoots forward colliding with Tauros. The fire bull tries its best to push forward but since Aqua is using a ground type move it's able to easily break through the Wild Charge and hit Tauros. The fire bull skids back towards Blaine it's still standing but took some damage Ash calls for his next move.
"Now Aqua use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Aqua's horns glow blue, and it fires the big stream of water towards Tauros Blaine makes a command.
"Tauros dodge then use Zen Headbutt!" Blaine calls his Tauros dodges the Hydro Pump it then shoots forward and hits Aqua making it skid back Blaine calls for his next command.
"Now Tauros use Sunny Day then Fire Blast!" Blaine calls his Tauros gives a mighty roar summoning the harsh sunlight it then fires the big blast of fire towards Aqua Ash quickly calls for his next command.
"Aqua use Protect!" Ash calls Aqua quickly summons the protective barrier blocking the blast of fire when the barrier goes down Blaine's Tauros appears as Blaine speaks.
"Now Wild Charge!" "Dodge Aqua!" Both trainers call before Aqua can dodge in time Tauros hits it causing super effective damage to the water bull making it soar through the air and come back down on the battlefield Ash looks at it and speaks.
"Aqua are you okay?!" Ash asks Aqua stands back up it nods but the Wild Charge did hurt it, Blaine calls for his next command.
"Let's keep up the pressure Tauros use Raging Bull!" Blaine calls Tauros suffers recoil damage from the wild charge, but it ignores it the bull gives a mighty roar as its horns glow red. It covers its body in fire and runs towards Aqua as Ash makes a command.
"Aqua you counter with Raging Bull too!" Ash calls Aqua roars its horns glow blue covers its body in water and charges towards Tauros. The two bulls keep running until they meet in the middle of the battlefield and begin to try and push the other back for dominance Ash then speaks.
"Yeah, keep pushing Aqua!" Ash cheers with Aqua nodding as it begins to slowly push Tauros back Blaine then speaks.
"Don't lose Tauros!" Blaine calls his Tauros pushes back as its fire power begins to increase thanks to the Sunny Day it charges forward and breaks through Aqua's attack hitting it then launching it high into the air Ash looks at Aqua and speaks.
"Aqua!" Ash calls out to the bull as Blaine speaks.
"Now end it with Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Tauros fires the big blast of fire towards Aqua as it's getting closer Ash gets an idea and speaks.
"Aqua use Hydro Pump full blast!" Ash calls Aqua nods it gives a mighty roar and fires the big stream of fire it collides with the fire blast creating an explosion as now there's steam covering the entire battlefield Blaine then speaks.
"Tauros! Aqua is hiding somewhere concentrate and when you hear footsteps use Wild Charge to end the battle!" Blaine calls with Tauros nodding it begins to concentrate starting to listen to its surroundings. A few seconds later neither Blaine nor Tauros have heard Aqua's footsteps both are starting to get frustrated until they hear something Blaine then speaks.
"Aqua's to your right Tauros use Wild Charge!" Blaine calls Tauros roars it covers its body in electricity and charges toward the direction it heard the noise. When Tauros makes it to the area it stops as it doesn't see Aqua anywhere Ash then speaks.
"Aqua use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls the water bull fires a big stream of water hitting Tauros on the side the bull is launched out of the steam and lands below Blaine's feet injured. The steam then goes away as Aqua appears with Ash smiling Blaine then speaks.
"I see so you had Aqua use Hydro Pump on the Fire Blast to cover the area with steam and then hide. All so when we drop our guard, you'd have Aqua attack Tauros's blind spot causing damage to it" Blaine says with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"Yep, that's right and the sound you and Tauros heard was just a rock I had Aqua throw with its tails" Ash says with Blaine nodding as he speaks.
"Good strategy Ash but Tauros can still battle Tauros use Earthquake!" Blaine calls Tauros stomps its foot on the battlefield shaking it Ash then speaks.
"Aqua jump in the air!" Ash calls Aqua quickly jumps high in the air dodging the Earthquake Blaine then gives a command.
"Now Wild Charge!" Blaine calls Tauros jumps in the air going after Aqua it covers its body in electricity as it's about to hit the bull Ash speaks.
"Aqua use Protect!" Ash calls Aqua quickly summons the protective barrier blocking Tauros's attack the fire bull hits the barrier and bounces away Ash then speaks.
"Now Raging Bull!" "Dodge Tauros!" Both trainers call Aqua lets out a mighty roar its horns glow blue it covers its body in water and rams its head into Tauros's stomach. The fire bull coughs in pain as both bulls fall from the sky crashing back on the battlefield creating an explosion the Sunny Day also goes away. When the smoke clears everyone can see Aqua it's standing and panting a little while Tauros is knocked out having no intention of standing back up Ash smiles and speaks.
"We won! Great job Aqua!" Ash says the water bull nods Misty and Brock cheer while Blaine returns Tauros he looks at Ash and speaks.
"Impressive" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Thanks, so who's next?" Ash asks Blaine takes out a Pokeball and speaks.
"This one should be able to defeat your Tauros Go! Darmanitan!" Blaine says he throws the ball as the blazing Pokemon appears it gives a mighty roar and gets into a battle stance. It stares at Aqua with the water bull staring back Ash looks at it and speaks.
"A Darmanitan's next, Aqua should be able to take it down" Ash thinks to himself smiling he looks at Aqua and speaks.
"Aqua let's keep going!" Ash says with the water bull nodding Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Heh, I knew you'd keep it in" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Of course, now Aqua use Raging Bull!" Ash calls Aqua roars its horns glow blue then charges towards Darmanitan. Neither Blaine nor Darmanitan are worried Blaine then speaks.
"Darmanitan stop it with Psychic!" Blaine calls the blazing Pokemon holds out its hands its eyes glow as it sends out the psychic waves and grabs Aqua lifting the bull up in the air Ash looks at it and speaks.
"Aqua try to break free!" Ash calls the bull tries but is unable to Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Now slam it on the battlefield!" Blaine calls Darmanitan nods as it slams the water bull hard on the battlefield Ash then speaks.
"Aqua!" Ash yells calling out to the bull it groans from pain but stands back up as it begins to pant heavily but can still battle Blaine then calls for his next command.
"Darmanitan use Bulk Up then Stone Edge!" Blaine calls the blazing Pokemon roars it increases its attack/defense then slams its fist on the battlefield summoning the sharp stones Ash quickly makes a command.
"Aqua use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Aqua quickly fires the big stream of water it collides with the Stone Edge but gets easily destroyed shocking Ash as he makes his next move.
"Aqua dodge use Bulk Up then Raging Bull!" Ash calls Aqua dodges the Stone Edge then roars as it increases its attack/defense Aqua then runs towards Darmanitan covering its body in water it's about to hit Darmanitan as Blaine speaks.
"Jump Darmanitan then use Brick Break!" Blaine calls as Aqua goes to hit Darmanitan the blazing Pokemon jumps above the water bull dodging the attack. Darmanitan then brings its fist down hitting Aqua's back making it hit the battlefield. As Ash's about to call for his next command Blaine speaks first.
"Now finish it with Mega Punch!" Blaine calls Darmanitan roars as it punches Aqua in the face sending it flying pass Ash and hitting the wall behind him. Ash looks back, he sees Aqua fall on the ground knocked out Ash grits his teeth he grabs Aqua's Pokeball and returns it Ash then speaks.
"Thank you Aqua take a good rest" Ash says he puts the ball back on his belt he looks forward as Blaine speaks.
"As you can see my Darmanitan's strong so who're you going to send in next?" Blaine asks as Ash grabs his next Pokeball he holds it forward and speaks.
"This one will be able to take down Darmanitan Totodile I choose you!" Ash says bringing in the big jaw Pokemon. As soon as Totodile appears it begins to happily dance excited to battle in the stands Misty speaks.
"Totodile is his next choice" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"Hmmm Ash might be able to defeat Darmanitan with Totodile" Brock says with Misty nodding Misty's Quaxly then speaks.
"Quax, Quax!" Quaxly says telling Totodile good luck the blue gator looks at Quaxly and nods Ash then speaks.
"Totodile your opponent is strong, but I believe with your battle style we might be able to defeat Darmanitan" Ash says with Totodile nodding it looks at its opponent and gets in a battle stance Blaine then speaks.
"So, your next ones a Totodile and it seems like it loves to dance it's my first time seeing one do that" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, I was surprised too but even though Totodile loves to dance it's still a strong Pokemon" Ash says with Totodile nodding Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Don't worry I'm not going to underestimate it Darmanitan use Stone Edge!" Blaine calls Darmanitan roars it slams its fist on the battlefield summoning the sharp rocks they head towards Totodile as Ash speaks.
"Jump Totodile!" Ash calls the blue croc quickly jumps high in the air dodging the Stone Edge Blaine isn't fazed as he calls for his next command.
"Darmanitan Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Darmanitan quickly fires the blast of fire towards the air born Totodile as Ash makes a command.
"Totodile destroy it with Aqua Tail!" Ash calls the blue croc covers its tail in water and hits the fire blast creating an explosion Totodile then safely lands back on the battlefield when it does Darmanitan appears behind it the blazing Pokemon raises its fist as Blaine speaks.
"Darmanitan Mega Punch!" "Dodge Totodile!" Both trainers call when Darmanitan goes to punch Totodile the blue croc dances to the right easily dodging Darmanitan's fist as Blaine speaks.
"Darmanitan keep using Mega Punch!" "Keep dodging Totodile!" Both trainers call Darmanitan tries hitting Totodile but the blue croc easily dodges. Darmanitan tries again but misses making both Blaine and Darmanitan frustrated while Ash smiles in the stands Brock speaks.
"I see because of Totodile happily dancing around it's hard for Darmanitan to land a hit on Totodile since Totodile is very nimble" Brock says with Misty nodding her Sobble and Quaxly continue to cheer on Totodile. Darmanitan tries to hit Totodile again, but the blue croc easily dodges Blaine then speaks.
"Okay play time is over Darmanitan use Grass Knot!" Blaine calls shocking Ash Darmanitan's eyes glow as it summons a grassy knot tripping Totodile and doing super effective damage to it Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Now Darmanitan use Bulk up then Mega Punch!" Blaine calls Darmanitan roars it bulks up its body again and goes to hit Totodile. As Darmanitan's fist is about to hit the blue croc Ash smiles and speaks.
"Totodile use Crunch!" Ash calls Totodile nods it narrowly dodges Darmanitan's fist it jumps forward and bites the blazing Pokemon on the face causing damage to it shocking everyone as Blaine speaks.
"Darmanitan use Mega Punch to knock Totodile away!" "Dodge Totodile!" Both trainers call when Darmanitan's fist is about to hit Totodile the blue croc let's go of Darmanitan's face and jumps backwards dodging Darmanitan's fist. Darmanitan is unable to stop its fist in time as it punches itself in the face making it roll back groaning in pain Blaine looks at it and speaks.
"Darmanitan!" Blaine calls as Ash speaks.
"Okay Totodile now use Rain Dance then Hydro Pump!" Ash calls the blue croc nods it roars summoning the rain it comes down covering the battlefield. Totodile then takes a deep breath and fires the big stream of water Blaine doesn't have time to tell Darmanitan to dodge as it's consumed by the water. Darmanitan cries out in pain it's sent soaring pass Blaine hitting the wall behind him when Blaine looks at Darmanitan he can see that it's knocked out Ash smiles and speaks.
"Alright! Great job Totodile!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu congratulate the blue croc Totodile looks at them smiles and does a peace sign in the stands Misty speaks.
"Nice Totodile was able to defeat Darmanitan" Misty says happily with Brock nodding while Sobble and Quaxly cheer. On the battlefield Blaine returns Darmanitan he tells it thank you he then looks back at Ash and speaks.
"Your Totodile's very light on its feet other than calling for Grass knot there was nothing else Darmanitan could've done" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Thanks, I knew Totodile would be the best one to defeat Darmanitan as there was no way Darmanitan would've been able to stop Totodile's dancing" Ash responds with Blaine nodding as he speaks.
"I see well then how will it deal with this one Go! Talonflame!" Blaine calls as a fire falcon appears it gives a mighty roar and flies into the air Ash takes out his Pokedex to scan it.
"Talonflame, the Scorching Pokémon and the evolved form of Fletchinder. During an intense battle, Talonflame expels embers from gaps between its feathers. It reaches speeds of more than 300 mph chasing prey" The Pokedex says Ash looks at it and speaks.
"The evolved form of Fletchinder huh? it looks fast, but Totodile should still be fine because of the rain and its dancing" Ash thinks to himself he looks at Totodile and speaks.
"Let's keep going Totodile!" Ash says with the blue croc nodding Blaine then speaks.
"Are you sure it's wise to keep your Totodile in against my Talonflame?" Blaine asks as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, I'm sure now Totodile use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls the blue croc roars and fires the big stream of water towards Talonflame Blaine then speaks.
"Talonflame dodge then use Swords Dance!" Blaine calls the fire falcon easily dodges the Hydro Pump it then roars sharply increasing its attack power Ash then speaks.
"We'll increase not only our attack but speed as well Totodile use Dragon Dance!" Ash calls the blue croc nods as it begins to happily dance increasing its attack/speed Blaine then speaks.
"Talonflame use Acrobatics!" "Totodile counter with Aqua Tail!" both trainers call Talonflame glows blue it flies forward as Totodile covers its tail in water and jumps towards Talonflame. The 2 mons collide in the air they try to push each other back but Talonflame wins the exchange making Totodile crash back on the battlefield. When the blue croc is on the battlefield it groans from the pain but stands back up as Ash makes his command.
"Totodile use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls the blue croc quickly shoots out the large stream of water from its mouth as it's about to hit Talonflame Blaine speaks.
"Talonflame counter with Hurricane!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars it flaps its wings fast, creating a large hurricane that easily destroys Totodile's Hydro Pump shocking Ash and the croc Ash then speaks.
"Totodile Dodge!" Ash calls Totodile tries to run away but is unable to as it's sucked inside the hurricane and begins spinning around very fast. Totodile cries out in pain and is starting to feel dizzy when the hurricane disappears Totodile starts to fall as Blaine makes his next command.
"Talonflame end it with Acrobatics!" Blaine calls before Ash can give a command Talonflame instantly flies at Totodile the fire bird hits Totodile back and forth it then hits the croc one more time sending it crashing next to Ash the Rain Dance goes away Ash looks at Totodile and speaks.
"Totodile!" Ash exclaims when the smoke clears Totodile is completely knocked out Ash is sad that Totodile lost he grabs its Pokeball returning it telling Totodile thank you Ash grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.
"Growlithe I choose you!" Ash says bringing the fire puppy in when it appears it barks and gets into a battle stance staring at its opponent Blaine looks at it and speaks.
"A Hisuian Growlithe? That's a rare find" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Thanks, and Growlithe's going to defeat your Talonflame" Ash states with Growlithe agreeing Blaine smiles and speaks.
"I don't think so" Blaine responds as Ash speaks.
"We'll show you Growlithe use Stone Edge!" Ash calls Growlithe roars it fires the sharp stones towards Talonflame. Neither Blaine nor the bird are fazed as Blaine makes a command.
"Talonflame dodge use Sunny Day then U Turn!" Blaine calls Talonflame easily dodges the sharp stones it roars to the sky summoning the harsh sunlight. Talonflame then glows in green bug energy it quickly flies forward hitting Growlithe on the head making it skid back. Talonflame goes back in its Pokeball as another Pokemon comes out instead, what appears is a Kanto Ninetales it roars as Blaine speaks.
"Ninetales Solarbeam!" Blaine calls the fire fox roars it quickly fires the grassy beam as Ash speaks.
"Growlithe counter with Fire Blast!" Ash calls Growlithe fires the big blast of fire it easily destroys the solarbeam and hits Ninetales Ash smiles and speaks.
"Yeah, way to go Growlithe!" Ash cheers as Growlithe nods Blaine then speaks.
"You shouldn't be celebrating you've just made a big mistake" Blaine says making Ash confused he looks forward and sees the flames of the fire blast being absorbed. Ash along with Growlithe get shocked looks on their faces as when the flames are completely absorbed Ninetales smiles and licks its lips Ash then speaks.
"Your Ninetales has the Flash Fire ability?" Ash asks as Blaine nods in the stands Brock speaks.
"I see so Blaine had Ninetales use Solarbeam knowing Ash would counter with a fire type move which would easily destroy the Solarbeam and consume Ninetales activating its ability Flash Fire which increases its fire type moves" Brock says with Misty nodding back on the battlefield Ash speaks.
"Even though Ninetales increased its fire power Growlithe is still going to win!" Ash states with the fire puppy nodding Blaine smiles and speaks.
"We'll see about that Ninetales Flamethrower!" Blaine calls the fire fox immediately shoots out a big Flamethrower it heads towards Growlithe as Ash speaks.
"Growlithe jump in the air to dodge!" Ash calls when the stream of fire is about to hit Growlithe the fire puppy quickly jumps in the air dodging the attack when it does Ninetales appears in front of it as Blaine speaks.
"Knock it back down with Iron Tail Ninetales!" Blaine calls before Ash can give Growlithe a command the fire fox covers all of its tails in steel energy and hits Growlithe on the head knocking it back to the ground Ash looks forward and speaks.
"Growlithe!" Ash calls in worry when he does, he sees Growlithe standing back up, it can still battle but is groaning in pain Ash then speaks.
"Growlithe above you!" Ash calls Growlithe looks up, it sees Ninetales heading towards it covering its tails in steel energy Blaine then gives a command.
"Ninetales Iron Tail!" "Dodge Growlithe!" Both trainers call, as Ninetales is about to hit Growlithe the fire puppy narrowly dodges in time making Ninetales slam its tails on the battlefield Ash quickly calls for his next command.
"Growlithe Stone Edge!" Ash calls Growlithe roars it stomps its foot on the battlefield summoning the sharp stones they head towards Ninetales but neither the fire fox nor Blaine are fazed Blaine then speaks.
"Ninetales destroy them all with Solarbeam!" Blaine calls Ninetales roars it quickly fires the grassy beam it easily pierces through the Stone Edge as it's about to hit Growlithe Ash makes a command.
"Growlithe use Fire Fang!" Ash calls Growlithe heats up its mouth and bites down on the grassy beam easily destroying it when it does Blaine speaks.
"Now Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Ninetales roars as it fires the big blast of fire Ash is unable to tell Growlithe to dodge in time as the Fire Blast hits Growlithe creating an explosion Ash looks at the battlefield and yells.
"GROWLITHE!" Ash yells in worry when the smoke clears everyone can see Growlithe its still standing but panting heavily but gives a bark saying it can still battle Ash smiles as Blaine speaks.
"It's a lot tougher than I thought but that's what I expect from a Pokemon from the past" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Okay Growlithe time for our counterattack use Howl!" Ash calls the fire puppy roars raising its attack power it then looks at Ninetales beginning to growl with the fire fox doing the same Blaine then speaks.
"Just because you raised its attack power doesn't mean anything Ninetales Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Ninetales roars it fires the big blast of fire towards Growlithe Ash then speaks.
"Growlithe use Dig to dodge!" Ash calls Growlithe quickly digs underground dodging the fire blast Blaine then speaks.
"Ninetales jump in the air and when Growlithe appears use Iron Tail!" Blaine calls the fire fox quickly jumps in the air it covers its tail in steel energy and when it does Ninetales gets ready to hit it as Ash speaks.
"Growlithe Double Edge!" Ash calls Growlithe glows white it shoots out from underground knocking away Ninetales tails and successfully hits Ninetales in the stomach making the fire fox cough in pain. Both mons land back on the battlefield Growlithe's standing while Ninetales struggles to stand up when it does it groans in pain surprising Blaine as he speaks.
"That one Double Edge did that much damage? It must've high attack power and it looks like it hasn't taken any recoil damage either so this means it has the Rock Head ability" Blaine says to himself he smiles then speaks.
"Your Growlithe's attack power is certainly strong, but it won't be enough to take down my Ninetales now use Solarbeam!" Blaine calls the fire fox quickly fires the grassy beam it heads towards Growlithe as Ash speaks.
"Growlithe Fire Fang!" Ash calls Growlithe heats up its mouth and bites down on the Solarbeam when it does Ninetales appears in front of it as Blaine speaks.
"Now grab Growlithe with your tails!" Blaine calls before Ash can tell Growlithe to dodge the fire fox immediately grabs Growlithe with its tails. Growlithe tries its best to break free, but can't as Ninetales is holding on tightly, Blaine smiles and speaks.
"It's over for your Growlithe Ash now Ninetales end it with Fire Blast!" Blaine calls as Ninetales goes to fire the blast of fire Ash smirks and speaks.
"Sorry Blaine I don't think so Growlithe use Stone Edge!" Ash calls when he does Growlithe roars as a sharp stone appears under Ninetales jabbing it in the stomach shocking everyone. Ninetales coughs in pain, it's then sent flying into the air Ash calls for his next command.
"Growlithe jump after Ninetales!" Ash calls the fire puppy quickly leaps towards the fire fox as Blaine speaks.
"Ninetales knock it back down with Iron Tail!" "Dodge Growlithe then use Crunch!" Both trainers call Ninetales quickly covers its tails in steel energy it goes to hit Growlithe but the fire puppy dodges it then bites down hard on one of Ninetales tails making the fire fox cry out in pain as Ash speaks.
"Now throw it back on the ground!" Ash calls Growlithe nods as it throws the fire fox back on the ground. Ninetales crashes on the battlefield it groans in pain when it stands up Blaine then speaks.
"Ninetales above you!" Blaine calls Ninetales looks up and sees Growlithe heading towards it Blaine then calls for a command.
"Ninetales Fire Blast!" "Growlithe use Double Edge!" Both trainers call Ninetales fires the big blast of fire at Growlithe. The fire puppy isn't scared, it dives into the blast of fire, Growlithe groans from the pain but is able to push through the blast of fire still heading towards Ninetales shocking Blaine and the fire fox Ash then speaks.
"Go! Growlithe!" Growl!" Ash and Growlithe yell as Growlithe hits Ninetales making it hit the battlefield causing an explosion. When the dust clears everyone can see Growlithe it's still standing but panting heavily while Ninetales is laying on the ground knocked out the Sunny Day also goes away as Ash smiles and speaks.
"Way to go Growlithe!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer Growlithe looks at both of them and smiles in the stands Brock speaks.
"I see Ash had Growlithe get captured by Ninetales tails so he would be able to land the stone edge doing a lot of damage to Ninetales then after that it became a lot easier for Ash to win" Brock says Misty nods and cheers.
"Way to go Ash and Growlithe!" "Sob!" "Quax!" Misty along with her Sobble and Quaxly happily cheer. Back on the battlefield Blaine returns Ninetales thanking it he grabs his next Pokeball and throws it.
"Go! Talonflame!" Blaine says bringing the fire falcon back in it roars when Talonflame's done roaring it gets into a battle stance staring at Growlithe with the fire puppy staring back Ash then speaks.
"Talonflame's back in" Ash says Growlithe then barks at Ash saying it can still battle Ash is unsure, but trusts Growlithe he smiles and speaks.
"Okay Growlithe let's take down Talonflame!" Ash says with the fire puppy nodding in agreement Growlithe starts to Growl at the bird, but Talonflame isn't fazed Blaine then speaks.
"Are you sure it's wise to keep your Growlithe in? Ninetales did damage it a lot" Blaine asks as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, I'm sure if Growlithe says it can continue then I believe it can" Ash responds back with Growlithe agreeing, Blaine then shrugs his shoulders and speaks.
"Okay then I'll respect your choice Talonflame Hurricane!" Blaine calls Talonflame quickly flaps its wings creating a large tornado it heads for Growlithe as Ash makes a command.
"Growlithe destroy it with Stone Edge!" Ash calls Growlithe roars it stomps its feet on the ground creating large sharp stones that hit the Hurricane easily destroying it. When the hurricane's gone Blaine makes a command.
"Talonflame use Acrobatics!" "Growlithe counter with Double Edge!" Both trainers call both mons roar and charge at each other. When they're about to collide in the middle of the battlefield Blaine then speaks.
"Talonflame do a sharp turn to your left then use Steel Wing to knock Growlithe in the air!" Blaine calls shocking Ash as he sees the fire bird easily dodge Growlithe's Double Edge by moving to the left. Talonflame's wings glow in steel energy and hits Growlithe sending it soaring high into the air the fire bird goes after Growlithe as Ash speaks.
"Growlithe Stone Edge!" "Dodge Talonflame and when you get close use Steel Wing!" Both trainers call in the sky Growlithe quickly fires the sharp stones towards Talonflame but the fire bird is able to easily dodge all of them. Talonflame then reaches Growlithe its wings glow in steel energy and hits the fire puppy on the head sending it crashing back down on the battlefield Ash looks at Growlithe and speaks.
"Growlithe!" Ash calls out to the fire puppy when the smoke clears everyone can see that Growlithe is knocked out. Ash grabs Growlithe's Pokeball returning it he looks at the ball and speaks.
"Thank you Growlithe you did great get a good rest" Ash says he puts the ball back on his belt and grabs another Pokeball as he's about to throw it Blaine speaks.
"I've to say Ash you keeping Growlithe in was a poor choice in judgement you should've returned it and saved it for later" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"I agree with you that wasn't a smart move on my part but at the same time if I did switch out Growlithe and brought in another Pokemon your Talonflame might know roar which would send my other Pokemon back in its Pokeball and bring Growlithe back out. So, me keeping Growlithe in wasn't just because I believed in it, but I've also encountered trainers who've used Roar on my Pokemon before and I just thought if Growlithe's going to come back in any way I should just keep it in" Ash responds with Blaine nodding he smiles and speaks.
"I see in that case I can see why you kept in Growlithe but I'll tell you this Ash Talonflame doesn't learn Roar and one more piece of advice you should probably study up on what moves Pokemon can learn it'll help in the long run" Blaine says with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"Thanks, I'll think about it but for now let's continue Vibrava I choose you!" Ash says bringing the vibration Pokemon in. When Vibrava comes out it roars and gets into a battle stance Blaine looks at it then speaks.
"A Vibrava? Not a bad choice let me guess you brought it out so it can match Talonflame's speed" Blaine asks as Ash speaks.
"Yep, my Vibrava's fast it should be able to keep up with Talonflame in the sky" Ash responds with Vibrava nodding Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Heh, I don't think so my Talonflame's pretty fast now use Air Slash!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars and fires the slashes of wind towards Vibrava Ash then speaks.
"Vibrava use Rock Tomb to destroy the Air Slash!" Ash calls Vibrava roars it summons multiple rocks and fires them at the slashes of wind. When both moves collide Vibrava's Rock Tomb easily destroys the air slash they're about to hit Talonflame as Blaine speaks.
"Talonflame use Steel Wing!" Blaine calls Talonflame quickly covers its wings in steel energy it flies forward and easily cuts through the rocks. As it's about to hit Vibrava Ash calls for a command.
"Vibrava use Screech!" "Dodge Talonflame!" Both trainers call Vibrava lets out a loud screech that's about to hit Talonflame but the fire bird easily evades it. When Talonflame dodges the Screech Vibrava appears in front of Talonflame shocking the bird and Blaine Ash then makes a command.
"Now Dragonbreath!" Ash calls Blaine is unable to tell Talonflame to dodge in time as Vibrava quickly fires the white stream of dragon energy from its mouth hitting Talonflame's stomach making the fire bird crash on the battlefield Ash smiles and speaks.
"Good job Vibrava!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer with Vibrava nodding, they look back at the battlefield and see Talonflame fly back in the air Blaine then speaks.
"You're right your Vibrava is fast I guess it's time for Talonflame to go faster Now use Flame Charge!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars, it covers its body in fire it quickly flies at Vibrava and hits it knocking it back on the battlefield. Ash asks Vibrava if it's okay with the vibration Pokemon nodding they then look at Talonflame and see that its speed has increased Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Now Talonflame use Swords Dance then Acrobatics!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars as it sharply increases its attack power it glows blue and flies towards Vibrava as Ash speaks.
"Vibrava counter with Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Vibrava roars it covers its body in dragon energy and flies at Talonflame. Both mons then clash in the sky Vibrava tries its best to knock Talonflame away, but the fire bird is too strong and easily knocks away Vibrava making it hit the battlefield again Blaine then speaks.
"Now Talonflame Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Talonflame launches the big blast of fire towards Vibrava as Ash makes a command.
"Vibrava use Dig to dodge then Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Vibrava quickly digs underground dodging the Fire Blast. When the blast of fire hits the battlefield it creates an explosion, Vibrava then appears out of the hole it covers its body in dragon energy and flies towards Talonflame Blaine then speaks.
"Talonflame counter with Flame Charge!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars as it covers its body in fire and collides with Vibrava again. Vibrava tries its best to push Talonflame back but is unable as Talonflame easily knocks the vibration Pokemon away making it spin out of control Blaine then speaks.
"Now Fire Blast!" "Vibrava hide yourself with Sandstorm!" Both trainers call Talonflame fires the big blast of fire before it hits Vibrava the vibration Pokemon roars it quickly summons the storm of sand covering the entire battlefield and dodges the Fire Blast. Vibrava is now hidden inside the Sandstorm Ash then speaks.
"Now Dragon Breath!" "Dodge Talonflame!" Both trainers call Vibrava fires the white stream of dragon energy, Talonflame manages to easily dodge it. But Talonflame is then hit by the sand causing some damage to it as Ash speaks.
"Now Dragon Breath!" Ash calls Vibrava quickly fires the white stream of dragon energy it successfully hits Talonflame knocking it away Blaine then speaks.
"Talonflame blow this sand away with Hurricane!" Blaine commands "Dodge Vibrava!" Ash calls Talonflame roars it quickly flaps its wings summoning a giant Hurricane it easily blows away the sandstorm and sucks in Vibrava. The vibration Pokemon cries out in pain as it's then tossed back down on the battlefield Ash looks at it and speaks.
"VIbrava are you okay?!" Ash calls out to the mon he sees Vibrava struggling to stand up Blaine smiles and speaks.
"It looks like it's over for your Vibrava Talonflame end it with Fire Blast!" Blaine calls the fire bird roars and fires the big blast of fire towards Vibrava as Ash calls to it.
"Vibrava dodge!" Ash calls but the vibration Pokemon doesn't have time to move Vibrava looks at the fire blast getting closer the vibration Pokemon gets a determined look on its face it stands up to face the Fire Blast. Vibrava holds out its hands as the fire blast connects Vibrava tries to push the blast back surprising everyone Blaine isn't worried as he speaks.
"I commend your Vibrava's strength Ash but the way it is now it can't deflect Talonflame's Fire Blast" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"You're wrong! Vibrava can I know it can do it!" Ash responds as Blaine speaks.
"There's that naivety again give up it's the end for your Vibrava Talonflame increase the power!" Blaine says as Talonflame roars increasing the power of the Fire Blast making it harder for Vibrava to hold on as it's being pushed towards the ground Ash then speaks.
"Come on Vibrava I know you can do it Now PUSH THAT FIRE BLAST BACK!" "PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu cheer Vibrava hears the cheers from her trainer and teammate she doesn't want to lose either Vibrava wants to win this battle and continue growing stronger Vibrava then roars.
"BRAVA!" Vibrava lets out a loud roar as it starts to glow a bright white shocking everyone Blaine then speaks.
"No, it can't be it's-" Blaine says as Ash smiles and speaks.
"Vibrava's evolving!" Ash says happily as everyone continues to look at the battlefield Vibrava gets bigger grows a longer tail/legs, grows two arms, its 4 wings disappear and are replaced with two larger wings. It also gains red goggles that cover its eyes when the evolution stops what was once a Vibrava is now a Flygon the dragon then gives a roar.
"FLYGON!" Flygon roars as it easily destroys the Fire Blast shocking everyone Ash smiles and speaks.
"You evolved! You evolved Flygon!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer Flygon looks back at them and smiles in the stands Misty speaks.
"Ash's Vibrava evolved into a Flygon" Misty says in shock as Brock speaks.
"After training with Ash's other Pokemon, battling strong opponents and wanting to win this battle for Ash Vibrava must've felt it was time to evolve" Brock says as Misty nods on the battlefield Blaine speaks.
"This changes nothing Flygon is still damaged so it'll fall after a couple more hits Talonflame use Acrobatics!" Blaine calls the fire bird quickly flies towards Flygon. The mystic Pokemon looks back at the incoming Talonflame getting ready as Ash speaks.
"Okay let's do this Flygon use Screech!" Ash calls Flygon, takes a deep breath and yells letting out a loud ear-piercing screech that hurts not only Talonflame's ears but also Blaine's. Talonflame stops to cover its ears, the fire bird can feel its defense decrease Ash then gives a command.
"Now Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Flygon roars it quickly flies towards Talonflame covers its body in dragon energy and hits the bird in the stomach. Talonflame coughs in pain as it's sent crashing into the ceiling then falling back on the battlefield groaning in pain. Blaine is shocked by Flygon's power he's impressed by how strong it's gotten but he then gets a serious look on his face and speaks.
"Your Flygon's attack and speed is certainly impressive, but Talonflame is still faster Talonflame use Hurricane!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars as it quickly flies back in the air flapping its wings and summons a large hurricane that's heading for Flygon. Neither Flygon nor Ash are fazed as Ash speaks.
"Flygon destroy it with Stone Edge!" Ash calls Flygon roars, it fires the sharp stones at the Hurricane and easily destroys it shocking both the fire bird and Blaine as the rocks are about to hit Talonflame Blaine gives a command.
"Dodge Talonflame then use Brave Bird!" Blaine calls Talonflame roars it flies forward and is easily able to maneuver through the sharp rocks. Talonflame then glows a shiny blue it heads for Flygon as Ash speaks.
"Flygon counter with Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Flygon roars it covers its body in dragon energy and flies towards Talonflame. Both mons collide in the air creating a big shockwave Talonflame tries to push Flygon back but Flygon is able to easily push Talonflame away. The fire bird begins to spin out of control before Blaine can give a command in time Ash speaks.
"Flygon use Dragon Claw!" Ash calls Flygon roars it covers its claws in dragon energy it instantly reaches Talonflame and hits the fire bird in the back with Dragon Claw. Talonflame is then sent crashing back on the battlefield creating a dust cloud. Flygon lands back on the battlefield when the dust clears everyone can see that Talonflame is unable to battle Blaine grits his teeth while Ash smiles and speaks.
"Alright we won!" Ash cheers happily along with Pikachu and Flygon in the stands Misty, Sobble, Quaxly and Brock cheer too. On the battlefield Blaine is surprised that Talonflame lost but smiles he returns the fire bird telling it thank you he looks at Ash and speaks.
"Well done young man you surprised me I wasn't expecting your Vibrava to evolve into Flygon" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Thanks, I wasn't expecting it either but now that its evolved, we'll take down your last Pokemon" Ash states as Flygon roars in agreement Blaine smirks and speaks.
"My last Pokemon huh? I'm going to tell you this Ash, but your Flygon doesn't stand a chance Now! Magmortar Appear!" Blaine yells as the room they're in starts to shake it continues to shake until everyone sees something appear from the lava it lands on the battlefield and stares at Flygon. Ash along with his Pokemon Misty, Sobble, Quaxly and Brock can feel the amount of power this Pokemon has Ash can see that it resembles a Magmar he takes out his Pokedex to scan it.
"Magmortar, the Blast Pokémon a Fire type and the evolved form of Magmar. It launches fireballs that can reach temperatures over 3,600 degrees from the ends of its arms and lives in volcanic craters." The Pokedex says Ash then speaks.
"The evolved form of Magmar? from just staring at it I can feel just how powerful it is" Ash says to himself he looks at Flygon and speaks.
"Flygon do you still want to battle?" Ash asks the mystic Pokemon who roars in conformation Ash nods he looks back at Magmortar as Blaine speaks.
"I'll let you make the first move Ash" Blaine says as Ash speaks.
"Okay then here we come Flygon Stone Edge!" Ash calls Flygon roars it stomps its foot on the battlefield summoning the sharp stones they head towards Magmortor. The blast Pokemon isn't fazed, it holds its right arm forward as Blaine makes a command.
"Magmortar Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Magmortar's arm becomes a cannon that fires a large blast of fire that easily destroys all of the stone edge shocking Ash and Flygon as he quickly calls for his next command.
"Dodge Flygon!" Ash calls Flygon quickly flies in the air dodging the blast of fire when it does the Fire Blast keeps going until it hits the cave wall creating an explosion and leaving an imprint on the wall. Ash his Pokemon, Misty, Sobble, Quaxly and Brock are shocked by the power that Magmortar has in the stands Misty speaks.
"Unbelievable it was able to easily destroy Flygon's stone edge without the help of Sunny Day and left an imprint on the cave wall how were Leaf, Gary, Ritchie and Paul able to beat it?" Misty says in shock as Brock speaks.
"Ash needs to be really careful on what he does next because that was a lot of fire power" Brock says with Misty agreeing they look back on the battlefield Ash is still in shock as Blaine speaks.
"Tell me are you thinking about giving up because if so you're free to and you can come back once you've become stronger" Blaine says Ash quickly breaks away from his shock he looks at Blaine and speaks.
"No, I'm not going to give up my Pokemon and I have come too far to give up now we'll battle until the end!" Ash responds having a determined look in his eyes with Pikachu and Flygon having the same look. Blaine looks at Ash he can see a young Red Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Heh just like his father" Blaine says to himself he looks at Ash and speaks.
"Fine then if that's what you want don't blame me if your Pokemon get hurt Magmortar use Rockslide!" Blaine calls the blast Pokemon roars to the sky it summons a big portal above Flygon out of it come large boulders they head for Flygon as Ash speaks.
"Flygon dodge the boulders then when your free use Dragon Dance!" Ash calls Flygon nods it flies forward doing its best to avoid the boulders when it does is about to spin as Blaine makes a command.
"Now Flamethrower!" "Dodge Flygon!" Both trainers call Magmortar fires the stream of fire stopping Flygon from spinning. The mystic Pokemon dodges in time it opens its mouth as Ash gives a command.
"Flygon Dragon Pulse!" Magmortar use Fire Blast!" Both trainers call the two Pokemon fire their moves they collide creating an explosion. Flygon then falls on the battlefield laying on its stomach Ash then speaks.
"Flygon now use Earthquake!" Ash calls Flygon, roars, it punches the battlefield with its fist shaking it as it's about to hit Magmortar Blaine smiles and speaks.
"How obvious Magmortar jump then use Flame Burst!" Blaine calls Magmortar quickly jumps in the air easily dodging the Earthquake it then points its arm cannon forward and fires a flame ball towards Flygon. Ash is unable to tell Flygon to dodge in time the move hits Flygon creating an explosion, from the explosion comes Flygon it flies pass Ash and Pikachu it keeps flying until it hits the fire blast imprint on the wall. Flygon then falls on the battlefield with no intention of standing back up Ash has a shocked look on his face he grabs Flygon's Pokeball returning it he looks at the ball and speaks.
"Thank you Flygon you did well get a good rest" Ash says he puts the ball back on his belt Pikachu then speaks.
"Pika" Pikachu says telling Ash it wants to fight the yellow mouse sparks its cheeks and does a few punches in the air Ash looks at Pikachu smiles and speaks.
"Sorry Pikachu as much as I would like to use you, I don't think you'll be a good fit if you battled Magmortar and I also don't want you to accidentally fall into the lava either" Ash says with Pikachu nodding in agreement Blaine then speaks.
"So, is that it then are you giving up?" Blaine asks, having a confident smile on his face Ash looks at him and speaks.
"No, I'm not done yet this battle isn't over as I've the perfect Pokemon for Magmortar right here in this ball!" Ash states holding his Pokeball forward Blaine gets a curious look on his face and speaks.
"Your final Pokemon huh? Interesting bring it out but no matter what it is it won't defeat Magmortar" Blaine says with Magmortar nodding in agreement Ash smiles and speaks.
"Your opinion will change when you see this one now come on out CHARIZARD!" Ash says he throws the ball forward high in the air when it opens up Charizard lands on the battlefield he shakes it then gives a mighty roar sending out a big shockwave that pushes Blaine and Magmortar back a few feet Blaine then speaks.
"Of course, it's a Charizard" Blaine says to himself smiling with Magmortar smiling as well once Charizard stops roaring it looks at Magmortar and gets into a battle stance with Magmortar doing the same Blaine then speaks.
"So, your final Pokemon's a Charizard I'll admit it looks strong, but it won't defeat Magmortar" Blaine states with Magmortar nodding in agreement as Ash speaks.
"We'll see about that my Charizard's strong I'm confident it'll take down your Magmortar!" Ash states as Charizard fires a small Flamethrower towards the sky in agreement Blaine smiles and speaks.
"Fine then I'm interested in seeing how strong it is we're now at the final match up whoever wins this battle is the victor" Blaine says with Ash nodding both trainers and Pokemon then stare at each other. The room becomes silent, everyone's waiting to see who'll make the first move after a lava bubble pops Ash and Blaine call out their command.
"Use Flamethrower!" Both trainers call Charizard and Magmortar fire the stream of fire at each other when the moves collide it creates an explosion making the room shake a little bit. When the shaking stops from the dust cloud comes Magmortar it has its fist ready as Blaine speaks.
"Use Thunder Punch!" Blaine calls the blast Pokemon covers its fist in electricity and punches Charizard in the stomach making the fire lizard groan in pain. But Charizard then raises up its right arm as Ash speaks.
"Charizard Dragon Claw!" Ash calls Charizard covers its right claw in green dragon energy and hits Magmortar across the face making the blast Pokemon skid back a few feet. Magmortar groans a little in pain, but it then rubs its cheek Magmortar looks back at Charizard and smiles with Charizard smiling back Blaine then calls for his next command.
"Magmortar use Stone Edge!" Blaine calls Magmortar roars it stomps its foot on the battlefield summoning the sharp stones. They head towards Charizard as Ash speaks.
"Charizard fly forward use Metal Claw and when you get close use Dragon Claw!" Ash calls Charizard roars it flies forward covering both of its claws in steel energy and begins to easily destroy the stone edge surprising Blaine and Magmortar. When Charizard destroys the final stone edge it's now in front of Magmortar as it goes to hit it with Dragon Claw Magmortar holds its arm forward as Blaine speaks.
"Now Thunderbolt!" "Charizard dodge and use Dig!" Both trainers call when Magmortar shoots out the bolt of electricity from its arm Charizard narrowly dodges by bending backwards. Charizard then quickly digs underground and immediately appears from under Magmortar uppercutting its chin sending the blast Pokemon soaring in the air then come crashing back down on its back Ash then calls for his next command.
"Now Charizard Air Slash!" Ash calls Charizard's wings glow white and fires the slashes of wind at Magmortar Blaine then speaks.
"Magmortar Fire Blast!" Blaine calls Magmortar quickly stands up it puts its arms together and fires a big blast of fire that easily destroys the Air Slash, it's about to make contact with Charizard as Ash speaks.
"Charizard knock it away!" Ash calls Charizard holds its arms forward as it grabs the fire blast. The blast of fire tries to push Charizard back, but the fire lizard stands its ground and throws the blast of fire in the air making it hit the ceiling causing the room to shake more Blaine then speaks.
"Magmortar use Strength!" Blaine calls the blast Pokemon bulks up its body it quickly runs forward and rams its shoulder into Charizard's stomach. The fire lizard coughs in pain as it's sent flying pass Ash hitting the wall with the Fire Blast imprint on it. The fire lizard then falls on the ground as Ash speaks.
"Charizard are you okay?!" Ash asks Charizard then stands up it roars saying it can still battle Blaine then speaks.
"Magmortar Thunderbolt!" "Charizard quick dodge!" Both trainers call Magmortar fires the electric bolts from its left arm it heads towards the fire lizard, but Charizard flaps its wings flying in the air dodging the move Blaine then speaks.
"Keep using Thunderbolt!" "Keep dodging Charizard!" Both trainers call Magmortar starts to fire the electric bolts from both arms it tries to hit Charizard, but the fire lizard is able to easily dodge. As Charizard keeps dodging it reaches a point where it has its back towards the wall with both Thunderbolts on its left and right sides. Ash realizes what Blaine has done before he can make a command Blaine speaks.
"Now Rockslide!" "Dodge Charizard!" Both trainers call Magmortar roars summoning a portal above Charizard the fire lizard has nowhere to dodge as the boulders start to fall towards it Ash then speaks.
"Charizard use Metal Claw!" Ash calls Charizard quickly covers its claws in steel energy and starts to destroy as many boulders as it can. But some of them start to hit Charizard making it lose its concentration as it then falls back on the battlefield creating a dust cloud Ash looks forward and speaks.
"Charizard!" Ash calls out in worry as from the dust cloud Charizard appears it's still standing but has taken some damage Blaine then speaks.
"Looks like that plan worked" Blaine says having a confident smile on his face while Ash looks at him Brock then speaks.
"That was a smart move from Blain by having Magmortar use Thunderbolt to keep Charizard dodging until he got him into a corner where Charizard couldn't dodge and had Magmortar use Rockslide to hit Charizard knocking it out of the air" Brock says as Misty speaks.
"It was a good thing Ash called for Charizard to use metal claw to destroy some of the boulders otherwise Charizard would've taken more damage" Misty says with Brock nodding back on the battlefield Ash is thinking on what he can do next.
"He was able to force Charizard out of the air from that last attack what can I do now?" Ash questions as he begins to think about his next move, he gets an idea and speaks.
"Charizard I just thought of a good idea!" Ash says with the fire lizard nodding Blaine then speaks.
"It doesn't matter what strategy you thought up you can't defeat Magmortar now use Thunderbolt!" Blaine calls Magmortar quickly fires the bolts of electricity from its arms as Ash speaks.
"Dodge Charizard then use Smokescreen!" Ash calls Charizard quickly dodges the Thunderbolt it then let's out the black smoke covering the entire area in a black cloud Blaine isn't worried as he speaks.
"You really think that this is going to stop us?! Magmortar get out of that smoke by jumping in the air!" Blaine calls the blast Pokemon quickly jumps in the air getting out of the smoke when it does Charizard appears in front of it shocking the blast Pokemon and Blaine as Ash speaks.
"Now Charizard knock Magmortar back down with Brick Break!" Ash calls Charizard roars its fist glows and punches Magmortar on the head sending it back in the smoke. Magmortar crashes back down on the battlefield it groans in pain as Ash calls for his next command.
"Now Charizard use Air Slash!" Ash calls Charizard's wings glow and fires the slashes of wind in the smoke hitting Magmortar the blast Pokemon tries its best to dodge but is unable to as it gets hit by the slashes of wind Ash then speaks.
"Yeah, keep going Charizard!" Ash cheers with Charizard nodding as it keeps firing the slashes of wind in the smoke in the stands Misty speaks.
"Wait this strategy isn't this what Sanpei's Greninja did to Pikachu when Ash battled him?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"I believe you're right Misty Ash remembered that strategy and is using it here. By trapping Magmortar in the smoke it obscures its vision so it can't see where the Air Slash will come from and even if Magmortar tries to jump out of the smoke Charizard will just knock it back down with Brick Break which will do more damage to Magmortar. If Ash keeps this up, he has a great chance at winning." Brock responds with Misty nodding as she along with Sobble and Quaxly begin to cheer for Ash and Charizard. On the battlefield Ash and Pikachu cheer for Charizard while Blaine is getting frustrated, he hears Magmortar get hit by another Air slash and speaks.
"That's it play time's over Magmortar use Fire Blast towards the sky!" Blaine calls after Magmortar gets hit again it then points its arms up roars and fires the big blast of fire towards the sky. The fire blast clears away the smokescreen it's about to hit Charizard, but the fire lizard manages to dodge in time Blaine then calls for his next command.
"Now Thunder!" "Charizard Block it with Thunder Punch! Both trainers call Magmortar roars it summons the large bolt above Charizard it heads towards the fire lizard, but Charizard quickly electrifies both fist brings them over its head as the Thunder lands sending Charizard crashing back down on the battlefield. When the smoke clears Charizard is still standing it was able to successfully block the Thunder it goes to look for Magmortar but the blast Pokemon suddenly appears in front of Charizard it has its fist covered in electricity as Blaine speaks.
"Thunder Punch!" Blaine calls before Ash can make a command Magmortar punches Charizard across the face. Charizard groans from the pain but it then gets its fist ready as Ash speaks.
"Charizard use Mega Punch!" Ash calls Charizard's fist glows white as it also punches Magmortar across the face the blast Pokemon groans in pain, but it still keeps its eyes on Charizard with Charizard doing the same thing they both get their fist ready as Ash and Blaine speak.
"Magmortar use Thunder Punch repeatedly!" "Charizard use Mega Punch repeatedly!" Both trainers call Magmortar and Charizard roar and they then begin to punch each other in the face repeatedly. They both punch each other across the face one more time making them both skid back when they stop both of their bodies heat up as Ash and Blaine speak.
"Charizard Overheat!" "Magmortar Fire Blast!" Both trainers call Charizard and Magmortar roar they fire their moves at each other. When the Overheat and Fire Blast collide, they begin to fight for dominance until they both explode causing the room to shake more Blaine then calls for his next command.
"Magmortar Stone Edge!" "Dodge Charizard!" Both trainers call Magmortar roars it stomps on the battlefield summoning the sharp stones they're about to hit Charizard, but the fire lizard dodges in time. When Charizard dodges it starts to feel electricity flow throughout its body as it's now paralyzed, Ash is surprised while Blaine smiles and gives a command.
"Magmortar get behind Charizard and grab it!" Blaine calls Magmortar quickly runs forward gets behind the fire lizard and grabs it shocking Ash as he speaks.
"Charizard break free!" Ash calls Charizard tries but is unable to as Magmortar is holding on tightly and the paralysis is stopping it. Charizard then notices that both he and Magmortar are at the end of the battlefield below them is the lava Blaine smiles as Ash speaks.
"No, you can't" Ash says in a scared tone while Blaine speaks.
"It's over Ash Magmortar dive in the Lava!" "Blaine calls "NOOOO!" Ash yells in worry as Magmortar holding Charizard jumps into the lava when they enter it Ash along with Pikachu, Brock, Misty, Sobble and Quaxly have shocked looks on their faces Ash gets a scared look on his face and speaks.
"Charizard, Charizard, CHARIZARD!" Ash yells out in worry, he then looks over at Blaine and speaks.
"How could you?! Why'd you'd have Magmortar jump into the lava while holding Charizard you cheated!" Ash yells as Blaine speaks.
"Cheated? I didn't cheat the lava is also part of the battlefield you should've known that the moment you agreed to this battle" Blaine responds shocking Ash as Blaine continues to speak.
"Don't worry your Charizard is fine it's a fire type and they can't die in lava in a few seconds Magmortar will bring out your unconscious Charizard." Blaine says but Ash doesn't respond he looks at the lava as Blaine speaks.
"You did well Ash, but you still have more room to grow come back again when you're ready I'll be waiting and happily take you on then" Blaine says but Ash doesn't respond he continues looking down in the lava. A few seconds go by with Ash not saying anything everyone gets concerned until Ash speaks.
"Your wrong Charizard isn't done yet" Ash says making Blaine confused as he speaks.
"What do you mean? the outcome's decided your Charizard lost" Blaine says as Ash looks at Blaine and speaks.
"No, Charizard won't lose to something like that I believe that Charizard will win and besides you said that fire types don't die in the lava but isn't it also true that they gain power from lava too?" Ash asks having a confident smile on his face Blaine then realizes his mistake he looks down at the lava and speaks.
"Magmortar quick get out of there!" Blaine calls "Too late CHARIZARD RISE!" Ash yells from the top of his lungs raising his hand in the air when he does everyone hears Charizard's roar it's shaking not only the room but also the entire Volcano. Charizard flies out of the lava with Magmortar still on its back shocking Blaine, but Ash has a smile on his face and speaks.
"NOW CHARIZARD SEISMIC TOSS!" "MAGMORTAR USE THUNDER!" Both trainers yell before Magmortar can fire the Thunder Charizard begins to spin making Magmortar dizzy stopping it from firing the move. Charizard continues to spin making it look as though it's circling the globe Charizard then grabs Magmortar's arm as Ash speaks.
"NOW THROW IT!" Ash yells from the top of his lungs while Charizard gives a mighty roar and throws Magmortar back towards the battlefield as hard as it can. Magmortar heads towards the battlefield it crashes through it creating a hole and hits the lava again causing an explosion making some of the lava rise in the air. Ash, Pikachu and Blaine quickly back away getting to a safe distance from the lava when the shaking stops Charizard lands back on the battlefield it looks in the lava checking on its opponents' condition. Magmortar then jumps out of the lava landing back on the battlefield it stares at Charizard with Charizard staring back the two mons look at each other until Magmortar smiles it closes its eyes and falls on the battlefield laying on its stomach. When Magmortar falls Ash has a smile on his face as he along with Pikachu jump in the air and yell.
"WE WON!" "PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu cheer while Charizard shoots a Flamethrower towards the sky in victory in the stands Misty speaks.
"He Won Ash and Charizard Won!" "Sob!" "Quax!" Misty along with Sobble and Quaxly cheer unbeknownst to Misty her egg was watching the battle and is cheering too Brock also begins to cheer. Blaine has a shocked look on his face he's surprised that he lost but smiles and speaks.
"Most trainers would've given up seeing their fire types fall into a pit of lava, but he knew that his Charizard would be okay he really is your son Red" Blaine says to himself he returns Magmortar telling it thank you he then looks forward and sees Charizard land next to Ash the boy looks at the mon and speaks.
"You did it Charizard! you were amazing I knew you could win!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu say hugging the fire lizard Charizard has a smile on its face it then heats up its mouth. Pikachu notices he quickly jumps off Ash's shoulder as Charizard fires an affectionate Flamethrower in Ash's face. Ash then falls on the ground coughing up black smoke causing the yellow mouse and fire lizard to chuckle Misty and Brock then run over to Ash to congratulate him. Ash sees them, he quickly stands back up and looks at them Misty then speaks.
"Congrats on winning Ash you and your Pokemon were amazing" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"Yeah, you continue to surprise me" Brock says with Ash nodding he then feels 5 Pokeball's wriggle as Boldore, Totodile, Growlithe, Aqua and Flygon appear Ash looks at them and speaks.
"That's right I can't forget about you guys you all did great too thank you" Ash says as they along with Charizard and Pikachu happily tackle Ash to the ground hugging him making Ash laugh.
"Hahahahaha guys stop that tickles hahahaha" Ash says but his Pokemon keep hugging him Misty and Brock look on smiling Blaine then appears as Ash's Pokemon quickly get off of him Ash looks at Blaine as the man speaks.
"You've really surprised me in our battle today Ash I'm sorry for underestimating you during our battle you're a strong trainer and worthy of this badge" Blaine says he hands Ash a badge that looks like fire Blaine then speaks.
"That's called the Volcano badge it's proof that you've defeated my gym congratulations you earned it" Blaine says Ash nods he and his Pokemon smile as Ash speaks.
"Alright I just got the Volcano Badge!" "Pi Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu say happily as his other Pokemon let out a happy roar Brock then speaks.
"This is great Ash just one more and you'll have all 8 gym badges" Brock says with Ash nodding Blaine then speaks.
"So, where will you be going for your final badge?" Blaine asks as Ash speaks.
"I'm going to the Viridian Gym that's where Gary and Leaf are going, so I'm going to get my final badge at that gym too" Ash responds with Blaine nodding as he speaks.
"The Viridian Gym huh? I see make sure you stay safe" Blaine says making the group confused as Misty speaks.
"Why? is there something wrong with the gym?" Misty asks as Blaine speaks.
"I'm not sure all I've ever heard about the gym is that the gym leader is very mysterious and strong honestly I would say out of all the gym leaders in Kanto that person is the strongest not many trainers can defeat that gym leader" Blaine responds with the group nodding Ash then speaks.
"The strongest Kanto gym leader huh? Heh, it doesn't matter how strong he is me and my Pokemon are going to keep training and when it's time for our gym battle, we'll win isn't that right guys!" Ash says he turns to his Pokemon having a confident look on his face his Pokemon all roar in agreement while Misty, Sobble, Brock and Blaine look at them have smiles on their faces Blaine then thinks to himself.
"Heh like father like son" Blaine says to himself as he looks at Ash, he sees a memory of Red when he was 10 years old cheering alongside his Pokemon consisting of Charizard, Poliwrath, Snorlax, Lapras, Gengar and Pikachu. As the gang is about to leave the gym Blaine speaks.
"Oh, Ash before you leave, I also want to give this to you too" Blaine says as he reaches in his pocket and pulls out an orange stone, he hands it to Ash and speaks.
"That's a firestone it'll help your Growlithe evolve into a Hisuian Arcanine when it's ready" Blaine says surprising Ash as he speaks.
"Whoa are you sure I can take this? And will this really work on a Hisuian Growlithe?" Ash asks as Blaine speaks.
"Yes, I'm sure you've proven to be a strong/capable trainer and I've read that Hisuian Growlithe's can evolve using a fire stone similar to its Kanto variant" Blaine responds Ash smiles and speaks.
"Thanks Blaine I'll make sure to give this to Growlithe when it feels ready" Ash says with Blaine nodding. After that the gang leave Blaine's gym they head back to the Pokemon Center to go to get a good night's sleep as the next ship for Pallet Town leaves tomorrow. When they go into their room, they all sleep while they're sleeping Misty's egg starts to faintly glow.
It's now the next day it's early in the morning as Ash, Pikachu and Brock are happily sleeping Misty yells.
"ASH, PIKACHU, BROCK WAKE UP!" Misty yells, forcing the two boys along with Pikachu awake they all fall out of bed landing on the floor groaning in pain Ash looks at Misty and speaks.
"This better be good Misty I was having a dream of battling the strongest trainer in the world" Ash says as Brock speaks.
"I was having a dream of marrying the most beautiful woman in the world" Brock says as Pikachu speaks.
"Pi Pika Pika Chu" Pikachu says that it was dreaming of eating an unlimited supply of Ketchup Misty then speaks.
"No one cares about that stuff look my egg is glowing" Misty says the two boys along with Pikachu look at the egg they smile and get closer sitting next to Misty as the girl speaks.
"What's happening to it?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"It's hatching" Brock says shocking Misty as she speaks.
"Hatching? But isn't it too soon for it to hatch?" Misty questions as Brock speaks.
"Well, there's no telling how long it was in the place where you found it for all we know it could've been there for a few months and now it's ready to hatch" Brock responds with Misty nodding as Ash speaks.
"Anyway, I'm excited to see what kind of Pokemon hatches" Ash says with Pikachu agreeing the egg continues to glow as it changes form when the transformation stops what appears is a small round egg like Pokemon it yawns then opens its eyes. The first thing the mon sees is Misty's face the little mon smiles and speaks.
"Togi" The mon says making the group smile as Ash takes out his Pokedex to scan it.
"Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon a Fairy Type. Happiness is stored in Togepi's shell, and it shares its happiness with kind-hearted people." The Pokedex says Misty looks at the mon and speaks.
"So, your name is Togepi? You're so cute! Hello Togepi, my name is Misty looks like from today onward I'm your mom, oh and these two are your big brothers Sobble and Quaxly" Misty says as the two smile at Togepi with the spike Pokemon smiling back at them Ash then looks at Togepi and speaks.
"Hello Togepi, my name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, and this is my partner Pokemon Pikachu" Ash says as Pikachu waves at it with Togepi smiling at them Brock then speaks.
"Hello Togepi, my name is Brock and it's great to meet you" Brock says with Togepi smiling at him, Togepi then starts to feel hungry tears start to well up in its eyes and lets out a loud cry Misty then speaks.
"Food we need food!" Misty exclaims as Brock quickly pulls out a bottle of milk, he grabs Togepi and speaks.
"Here Togepi drink this and you'll feel all better" Brock says in a comforting tone, but Togepi starts to cry again hurting everyone's ears as Ash speaks.
"What does it want?!" Ash questions Brock looks at Togepi he sees it reaching for Misty Brock then speaks.
"Of course, how could I not realize it" Brock says he quickly hands Togepi back to Misty and speaks.
"Togepi sees you as its mother you have to be the one to feed it" Brock says with Misty nodding she looks at the still crying Togepi and speaks.
"It's okay Togepi here's some food" Misty says in a comforting tone as Togepi looks into Misty's eyes it stops crying and reaches for the bottle. Misty puts the tip of the bottle in Togepi's mouth as Togepi begins to happily suck on the bottle drinking the milk making Misty smile as Ash speaks.
"Looks like it worked" Ash says as Brock speaks.
"Yeah, like my Shieldon it seems Togepi has imprinted on Misty meaning that for now no one other than her can take care of it" Brock responds with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"Man, this is making me worried for when my Pokemon eggs hatch" Ash says with Pikachu nodding they continue to watch Misty feed Togepi and smile. 1 hour later the gang have packed up their things and are now on the ship that'll take them to Pallet Town. Misty decided that she won't catch Togepi for now as she wants to bond with it and Misty feels as though Togepi would be scared going into a Pokeball. Currently they're on the main deck of the ship looking at the horizon Ash looks at Brock and speaks.
"Hey Brock, how long until we make it to Pallet Town?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.
"Seems like it'll take 2 weeks" Brock responds with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"2 weeks huh I was hoping that it would be shorter, but this is fine I'll use this time to train up my Pokemon so that I'm ready for my final gym battle" Ash says with Misty, Sobble, Quaxly, Togepi (Misty's holding it in her arms) and Brock nod Misty then speaks.
"You can count on us to help you Ash and I know you'll do great in your gym battle and win" Misty says with Ash nodding he continues looking at the horizon and speaks.
"In 2 weeks, Pikachu we'll finally have our final gym battle we've had a lot of tough battles and this one well be our toughest so let's train hard and win" Ash says smiling having a determined look on his face Pikachu nods having the same look the two then fist bump and continue looking forward as the chapter comes to an end.
Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. We're getting close everyone soon Ash will have his final gym battle but the one he'll face will surely surprise him. Tell me how did you like Ash's battle against Blaine and were you surprised to see Togepi hatch from the egg? I decided to put both the gym battle and Togepi hatching in this chapter as in the main timeline it didn't take long for Togepi to hatch, and the group don't really know how long Togepi was in that area. Also, I decided to evolve Vibrava into Flygon this chapter as I felt it was the perfect time to do it.
Next chapter will come out next week the first half will focus on both Gary and Leaf taking on the Viridian City gym and the second half will cover Blue and Red searching for Team Rocket's main base I hope you all look forward to it.
Next time Chapter 43: The Armored Pokemon
"See you all next time!
