Chapter 58 Kanto League Top 32 Ash vs Jackie

Hello everyone, this chapter will mainly cover Ash's battle against Jackie I hope you all enjoy.

The chapter begins with Gary's battle with Melissa, it's reaching its end as we see an explosion. From the explosion appears Gary's Rhyperior and Melissa's Kanto Golem. Both mons skid away from each other while panting heavily. In the stands Brock speaks.

"This battle's intense they're both down to their last Pokemon" Brock says as Leaf speaks.

"Yeah, Gary's having a hard time" Leaf says with the group nodding. Since I skipped the battle here's a quick summary of what happened. The battle started with Electrode and Tauros the two-mons fought fiercely but Gary's Electrode came out on top. Melissa then sent in her Mr. Mime, which easily took down Electrode, Gary then brought in his Skarmory who had trouble with Mr. Mime's barriers at first but overcame them, winning the battle. Melissa brought in her Kingdra next who made quick work of Gary's Skarmory using its speed and landing heavy blows on Skarmory. Gary brought in his Poliwrath the boy had Poilwrath boost its attack/defense power with Bulk Up then had it land multiple ice punches on Kingdra and easily defeated it. Melissa brought in her Vileplume next and defeated Poilwrath using Sleep Powder and Solarbeam. Gary then brought in Arcanine who made quick work of Vileplume with Flamethrower. Melissa sent in her Gyarados next the fire dog and Sea Serpent had an intense battle, but Gyarados ultimately won. Gary then brought in his Exeggutor who made quick work of the weakened Gyarados by holding it in place with Psychic and finished it off with Psyshock. Melissa brought in Golem as her last Pokemon and even though Exeggutor had the type advantage Golem still managed to defeat it. Golem mainly used its speed to dodge Exeggutor's attacks and land heavy blows which resulted in Exeggutor losing. Gary then brought in Rhyperior the rhino let out a loud roar as it and Golem collided with each other. The two mons have been going back and forth with neither one wanting to lose. They both charge at each other using Rock Smash they collide creating an explosion making them both skid back as we now come back to present time. We see Gary's cheerleaders cheering Gary on as he begins to think.

"I wasn't expecting this Golem to cost this much damage to Rhyperior but from the looks of it I just need to land one more hit" Gary thinks to himself as Melissa calls for her next command.

"If you're not going to attack then I will Golem use Earthquake!" Melissa calls Golem stomps on the battlefield as Gary speaks.

"Rhyperior quick jump in the air!" Gary calls Rhyperior quickly jumps in the air dodging Golem's attack. When it does Golem appears in front of it surprising the rhino and Gary as Melissa speaks.

"Golem grab Rhyperior's horn and use Seismic Toss!" Melissa calls before Gary can make a command Golem quickly grabs Rhyperior's horn and begins to spin it fast. Golem then let's go of Rhyperior making it crash back down on the battlefield as Gary speaks.

"Rhyperior!" Gary calls in worry when the dust clears Rhyperior's groaning in pain as Melissa speaks.

"Now end it with Rollout!" Melissa calls Golem roars it curls into a ball and falls towards Rhyperior as it's about to hit it Gary calls for a command.

"Rhyperior quick use Dig!" Gary calls Rhyperior quickly digs underground dodging Golem's attack as the mon hits the ground instead. Rhyperior doesn't stay underground for long as it appears from under Golem and hits it causing super effective damage Gary then calls for his final command.

"Rhyperior use Rock Wrecker!" Gary calls Rhyperior roars it creates a large boulder and slams it on Golem's head making it crash back on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Melisa speaks.

"Golem!" Melissa calls in worry back on the battlefield Rhyperior lands it begins to pant heavily as it looks forward. When the smoke clears everyone sees Golem, it's lying on its back having no intention to continue fighting as the ref speaks.

"Golem is unable to battle Rhyperior's the winner seeing as Melissa has no more Pokemon left this means Gary Oak from Pallet Town is the winner and will move onto the next round!" The ref calls Gary's cheerleaders let out a loud cheer while Rhyperior roars in victory. Gary smiles then breathes a sigh of relief in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Man, that was too close" Leaf says having a relieved look on her face with the group nodding. Meanwhile, in the building where Red, Goodshow, Blue and the Elite 4 are in Rose speaks.

"It was close, but Gary won" Rose says happily as Blue speaks.

"Heh of course he won I knew he could do it I wasn't worried at all" Blue says while smiling as everyone glares at him Rose then speaks.

"Please you were sweating buckets the entire time look I even took pictures to prove it" Rose says as she shows Blue the pictures while having a smug look on her face. Blue's face becomes bright red as he speaks.

"What the?! When did you take those? Give them to me!" Blue says he tries to grab the pictures, but Rose pulls the pictures away and speaks.

"Naw I think I'm going to keep these and show them around the stadium showcasing to the trainers that our "fearless" Champion can also get nervous" Rose says while smirking making Blue mad as he yells.

"Rose give me those pictures this is an order from your champion!" Blue yells as Rose speaks.

"Nah you know that I don't listen to authority if you want them come and get them" Rose responds as she begins to run around the room with Blue chasing her everyone lets out a sigh. Goodshow then looks at Red and speaks.

"So, Red how're you liking the battles so far?" Goodshow asks as Red speaks.

"I've to say I've been really enjoying them all of the trainers this time around are all very skilled" Red responds as Goodshow speaks.

"I see tell me do you have a favorite?" Goodshow asks curiously as Red blushes before he can say anything Goodshow laughs and speaks.

"It's fine you don't need to tell me I can see from your expression alone that your favorite is your son" Goodshow says with Red nodding as he speaks.

"You can tell from just my face huh?" Red asks as Goodshow speaks.

"Well, you never had a good poker face" Goodshow responds with Red nodding as Goodshow speaks.

"But still your son is really impressive when I first saw him battle in the SS. Anne, I knew I saw potential in him and I'm happy I was right" Goodshow says with Red nodding as he speaks.

"Yeah, I'm pretty surprised by how skilled he is as well but there are a couple of trainers he has to watch out for" Red responds with Goodshow nodding as they both think about Harrison and Paul. Meanwhile, in the trainer hall we see Gary sitting on a bench by himself his cheerleaders are currently grabbing some food. As Gary continues to sit, he's then suddenly wrapped in a hug, the boy gets a shocked look on his face he looks to his left and sees Leaf he looks at her and speaks.


"Leaf why're you hugging me let go" Gary says as he quickly gets out of Leaf's hold and stands up Leaf then speaks.

"What I can't congratulate my friend on winning?" Leaf responds while pouting as Gary speaks.

"It's not that" Gary responds Leaf then gets close to Gary's face and speaks.

"Okay what is it then?" Leaf asks curiously, making Gary blush before he answers they hear a voice.

"Gary!" The voice says Gary and Leaf turn around and see Ash, Misty, Brock, Joe, Giselle and Jackie run over to them. When they make it, Ash looks at Gary and speaks.

"Hey Gary, congrats on winning your battle it was a tough one" Ash says Gary looks at Ash he smirks and speaks.

"Heh please it wasn't tough I was just going easy you need to get your eye's checked Ash" Gary says in a mocking tone making Ash mad as he speaks.

"What?! No way I clearly saw you having a hard time and almost lose. If it were me, I would've won easily" Ash responds as Gary speaks.

"Heh, I doubt it didn't you almost lose your battle yesterday?" Gary asks having a smug look on his face making Ash sweat as he speaks.

"Hey, I was close to winning if it wasn't for that Rillaboom I would've easily won" Ash responds with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie agreeing Gary looks at Ash smiles and speaks.

"Whatever anyway I'm gonna go before I get any more of your loser stench on me good luck in your next battle" Gary responds he walks away while Ash is fuming in anger as he speaks.

"Why that little I'll show him I'll win my next battle and when I face Gary, I'll beat him for sure" Ash says with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie nodding Jackie then looks at Ash and speaks.

"Hey, don't think that you're going to beat me that easy" Jackie says Ash looks at her and speaks.

"Oh, don't worry I know" Ash responds with Jackie nodding as she speaks.

"Anyway, seeing as our battle doesn't start for another 30 minutes I'm going to go train my Pokemon I'll see you on the battlefield Ash" Jackie says as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, see ya" Ash responds as the group watch Jackie leave Ash then speaks.

"I should get my Pokemon ready too I'm going to go call Prof. Oak" Ash says with the group nodding as he, Brock, Joe and Giselle walk with him. Misty's about to walk with them too but she then notices Leaf and speaks.

"Leaf is something wrong?" Misty asks as Leaf looks at her and speaks.

"Oh, it's nothing it's just that I've watched Ash and Gary tease each other throughout my life and their interaction just now I can tell that Gary was lying about going easy on his opponent" Leaf responds as Misty speaks.

"If that's the case how come he didn't just tell Ash the truth?" Misty asks as Leaf speaks.

"That's just how Gary is he doesn't like to showcase his vulnerable side as he feels it makes him weak and feels as though if Ash ever saw him like that, he won't see him the same way anymore" Leaf responds with Misty nodding as Leaf speaks.

"Anyway, enough of that let's go join the others" Leaf says with Misty nodding they walk over to the group and see that Ash is already talking to Prof. Oak. We now go over to Gary he's currently walking in a hallway by himself. He keeps walking until he sees Paul going the opposite direction, they then walk pass each other Paul then stops and speaks.

"I'm surprised you had trouble with a trainer at that level I expected better" Paul says making Gary stop walking he looks back at Paul and speaks.

"Heh don't worry whenever we get the chance to battle each other I'll beat you" Gary responds Paul smirks he looks back at Gary and speaks.

"I look forward to it" Paul responds the two boys look at each other for a few more seconds until Paul puts his hands in his pockets turns around and walks away. Gary also turns around continuing to walk away too, we now skip 30 minutes.


30 minutes later Ash and Jackie are at the battlefield they've both taken their positions and have smiles on their faces. Next, we go to the crowd we see Gary in one part of the crowd while Paul's in another part. We then go to the group Ritchie, AJ and Harrison have finished their battles and are sitting with the group Joe then speaks.

"Here it is Ash vs Jackie" Joe says as Brock speaks.

"I'm curious to see just how strong Jackie has gotten" Brock says with Misty and Leaf nodding as Giselle speaks.

"Is Jackie really strong?" Giselle asks as Misty speaks.

"She did give Ash some difficulty back in the fighting dojo, but Ash was able to defeat her without losing a single Pokemon" Misty responds as Giselle speaks.

"Then Ashy Kins should be able to defeat her easily again, right?" Giselle asks as Brock speaks.

"No, I don't think so it's been a long time since the fighting dojo just like Ash Jackie should've improved too." Brock says as Leaf speaks.

"Don't forget like us she has also collected all 8 Kanto gym badges and is competing in the league, so she's definitely improved" Leaf says with Giselle nodding as Joe speaks.

"You know I'm curious about the "secret" Pokemon Ash said he was going to use in this battle. After getting his first 5 Pokemon he told Giselle, Leaf and I to walk away so that we wouldn't know" Joe says making Ritchie, Harrison and AJ curious as AJ speaks.

"Secret Pokemon? do you two know what it is?" AJ asks, looking at Misty and Brock as Misty speaks.

"We do but we promised Ash that we wouldn't tell as he wants to make it a surprise" Misty responds with AJ nodding as Leaf speaks.

"Well, whatever it is I'm looking forward to seeing it" Leaf says the group nod they then turn their heads back to the battlefield as the ref speaks.

"This is a 6v6 full battle between Jackie of Shalour City and Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. Both trainers are allowed to substitute their Pokemon at any time and the winner is decided on whoever defeats all of their opponents Pokemon first. Before the battle begins let's see what field they'll battle on" The ref says everyone then looks at the screen they see a circle with the different battlefields on. A light begins to blink on the different battlefields until it stops on the grass field the ref then speaks.

"The battle will take place on the grass field!" The ref says as everyone looks at the field, they see it change to grass as Ash speaks.

"So, I'm battling on the grass field again today" Ash says to himself as the ref speaks.

"Now both trainers please send out your first Pokemon!" The ref says as Jackie speaks.

"Here I come Ash Go! Hawlucha!" Jackie says she throws the ball forward as the Lucha bird comes out it does a quick pose then gets in a battle stance Ash smiles and speaks.

"Heh, I knew she'd send in Hawlucha first" Ash says to himself he grabs his Pokeball and speaks.

"Pidgeot I choose you!" Ash says he throws the ball forward as Pidgeot appears. The bird lets out a loud "PIdjo!" then lands on the battlefield and looks at Hawlucha with Hawlucha looking at it as Jackie speaks.

"Cool so your Pidgeotto evolved into a Pidgeot" Jackie says as Ash speaks.

"Yep, and it's gotten a lot stronger too when you battled it last time" Ash says with Pidgeot nodding as Jackie speaks.

"Well even though Hawlucha doesn't have an evolution it's grown stronger as well" Jackie says with the Lucha bird nodding the ref then speaks.

"Now that both trainers have sent in their first Pokemon let the battle begin!" The ref calls when he does Ash and Jackie speak.

"Use Aerial Ace!" Both trainers call Pidgeot and Hawlucha instantly shoot forward and collide creating an explosion. The two mons back away from each other as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot use Air Slash!" Ash calls Pidgeot flies in the air its wings glow and fires the slashes of wind at Hawlucha Jackie then speaks.

"Hawlucha run forward using Thunder Punch!" Jackie calls Hawlucha electrifies its fist and shoots forward punching the slashes of wind. Hawlucha keeps going until it destroys all the Air Slashes the lucha bird looks up at Pidgeot as Jackie speaks.

"Now High Jump Kick!" Jackie calls Hawlucha jumps high in the air it goes to kick Pidgeot as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot dodge then knock Hawlucha down with Wing Attack!" Ash calls Pidgeot easily dodges Hawlucha's kick. Its wings glow white as it goes to hit the bird Jackie calls for a command.

"Hawlucha use Detect then High Jump Kick!" Jackie calls surprising Ash as Pidgeot goes to hit Hawlucha the lucha birds eye glows. It flies higher narrowly avoiding the Wing Attack. Hawlucha is now above Pidgeot's head its left leg glows red and kicks Pidgeot hard on the head. Pidgeot is then sent crashing back down on the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot!" Ash calls in worry when the dust clears Pidgeot stands back up and roars still ready to continue. Jackie isn't surprised as she calls for her next command.

"Hawlucha Stone Edge!" Jackie calls Hawlucha fires multiple sharp rocks down towards Pidgeot as Ash calls for a command.

"Pidgeot use Quick Attack to dodge then use Aerial Ace!" Ash calls Pidgeot nods it flies forward at a fast speed easily maneuvering through the Stone Edge. When Pidgeot dodges all of them it flies towards Hawlucha it speeds up more going to hit the lucha bird as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha counter with Thunder Punch!" Jackie calls Hawlucha covers its right fist with electricity and collides with Pidgeot. The two mons begin pushing each other back and forth until they break away Ash then speaks.

"Pidgeot use Hurricane!" Ash calls Pidgeot begins flapping its wings fast creating a large Hurricane it heads for Hawlucha as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha dive into the Hurricane using Aerial Ace!" Jackie calls Hawlucha dives inside the Hurricane it spins around then shoots out of it. The Lucha bird heads for Pidgeot as Jackie speaks.

"Now Thunder Punch!" Jackie calls before Ash can call for a command Hawlucha punches Pidgeot hard in the stomach making the bird cough. The two mons then come crashing back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot!" Ash calls in worry when the dust clears Pidgeot's laying on the ground with Hawlucha standing over it as Jackie speaks.

"Now use Thunder Punch again!" Jackie calls Hawlucha electrifies its fist it goes to punch Pidgeot as Ash calls for a command.

"Pidgeot use Sand Attack!" Ash calls Pidgeot quickly swings its wing on the ground flinging dust into Hawlucha's eyes. The lucha bird groans in pain it begins to rub its eyes trying to get the sand out as Ash speaks.

"Now Aerial Ace!" Ash calls Pidgeot shoots forward and hits Hawlucha making the lucha bird fall on the ground as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha!" Jackie calls in worry Hawlucha groans in pain as Ash speaks.

"Now Air Slash!" Ash calls Pidgeot quickly flaps its wings fast firing the slashes of wind at Hawlucha as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha use Stone Edge!" Jackie calls Hawlucha quickly fires the sharp stones they easily destroy the Air Slash and head for Pidgeot as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot use Steel Wing then Aerial Ace!" Ash calls Pidgeot covers its wings in steel energy and flies forward. Pidgeot easily cuts through the sharp stones the bird then speeds up heading for Hawlucha as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha counter with Aerial Ace!" Jackie calls Hawlucha jumps upwards it speeds up as well as it and Pidgeot collide creating an explosion. Pidgeot and Hawlucha then appear from the explosion and fly in the air as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha use Swords Dance and Bulk Up then Brave Bird!" Jackie calls Hawlucha roars it sharply increases its attack/defense it's body then glows a shiny blue and flies at Pidgeot as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot counter with your Brave Bird!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars it glows a shiny blue as well and flies forward. Pidgeot and Hawlucha collide creating an explosion, they then appear out of the explosion and start flying through the air continuing to clash with each other creating multiple shockwaves. They clash one more time then back away from each other as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot use Aerial Ace!" Ash calls Pidgeot shoots forward it goes to hit Hawlucha as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha use Detect then Thunder Punch!" Jackie calls as Pidgeot is about to hit Hawlucha the lucha bird's eye glows as it easily dodges Pidgeot by moving to the side. Hawlucha quickly covers its fist with electricity it goes to hit the bird as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot use Double Team!" Ash calls surprising Jackie when Hawlucha goes to hit Pidgeot the bird quickly summons a clone in its place letting it take the hit. Hawlucha then tries to find the real Pidgeot as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha behind you!" "Too late Pidgeot use Brave Bird!" Both trainers call Pidgeot roars it glows a shiny blue and hits Hawlucha's back. The lucha bird coughs in pain as both mons come crashing back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Jackie speaks.

"Hawlucha!" Jackie calls in concern everyone sees Pidgeot fly out of the dust cloud and take recoil damage from the Brave Bird. When the dust clears everyone sees Jackie's Hawlucha it's laying on its stomach knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Hawlucha's unable to battle Pidgeot's the winner!" The ref calls allowing Ash and his Pokemon to cheer Ash looks at Pidgeot and speaks.

"Way to go Pidgeot!" Ash says with the bird nodding in the stands Misty speaks.

"Nice Ash got the first win" Misty says happily as Leaf speaks.

"I was worried a couple of times thinking that Hawlucha would beat Pidgeot" Leaf says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Jackie's sad that Hawlucha lost but smiles she returns the lucha bird back in its Pokeball she looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thank you Hawlucha you did great take a good rest" Jackie says she puts the ball back on her belt as Ash speaks.

"So, are you going to bring in your Pangoro next?" Ash asks as Jackie speaks.


"Nope I'm bringing in this one instead come on out Sylveon!" Jackie responds she throws the ball forward as the pink fox appears. It has as smile on its face as Ash begins to think.

"A Sylveon's next I should be able to beat it with Pidgeot's speed" Ash says to himself he looks at Pidgeot and speaks.

"Let's keep going Pidgeot!" Ash says with Pidgeot nodding while Jackie smiles the ref calls for the battle to continue as Ash makes the first move.

"Pidgeot use Quick Attack then Steel Wing!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars it quickly flies forward covering its wings in steel energy as it's about to hit Sylveon Jackie calls for a command.

"Sylveon use Protect then Calm Mind!" Jackie calls Sylveon quickly summons a protective barrier and successfully blocks Pidgeot's attack making the bird bounce away. Sylveon then calms its mind increasing its special attack/defense Ash then calls for his next command.

"Pidgeot use Air Slash!" Ash calls Pidgeot quickly fires the slashes of wind as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon use Hyper Voice!" Jackie calls Sylveon lets out a loud yell which easily destroys the slashes of wind and hits Pidgeot causing damage and making the bird fall on the battlefield Jackie then speaks.

"Now Sylveon use Reflect and Light Screen then use Baton Pass!" Jackie calls the pink fox nods it summons 5 Reflect and Light Screen barriers. When it does that Sylveon summons a baton making it switch out with one of its teammates. Sylveon grabs the baton then goes back in its Pokeball what takes its place, is a bipedal yellow lizard Pokemon it gets into a battle stance as Ash speaks.

"Who's that Pokemon?" Ash says as he and Leaf take out their Pokedex's to scan the mon.

"Heliolisk, the Generator Pokémon an Electric/Normal type and the evolved form of Helioptile. Heliolisk produces enough electricity to power a large building and recharges by spreading its frills." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.

"So that's Helioptile's evolved form it looks fast" Ash says he then notices Pidgeot groaning in pain and thinks.

"Since Heliolisk is an electric type it would be best to switch Pidgeot out for one of my other Pokemon" Ash says to himself as he's about to return Pidgeot Jackie speaks.

"Not so fast Ash Heliolisk use Thunderbolt!" Jackie calls Heliolisk roars it quickly fires an electric bolt at Pidgeot as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot quick fly in the air to dodge!" Ash calls Pidgeot quickly flies in the air narrowly avoiding the Thunderbolt when it does Jackie calls for her next command.

"Now Thunder!" "Pidgeot use Quick Attack to dodge then use Brave Bird!" both trainers call Heliolisk summons a large electric bolt from the sky. It goes to hit Pidgeot but the bird quickly flies forward using Quick Attack and successfully dodges the move. Pidgeot then dives downward it tucks in its wings and covers its body with fire. As Pidgeot's about to hit the ground it lifts itself up, brings out its wings and covers its body in a shiny blue. As it's about to hit Heliolisk Jackie calls for a command.

"Heliolisk use Electroweb!" Jackie calls "What's Electroweb?" Ash says while having a confused look on his face. Heliolisk creates an electric ball with its tail and throws it at Pidgeot. The ball then opens up taking the shape of a net Pidgeot doesn't have time to dodge as the net catches the bird making Pidgeot fall on the ground and canceling its Brave Bird. The net then begins to shock Pidgeot making it cry out in pain surprising Ash as Jackie speaks.

"Electroweb is a move where the user fires an electric net catching its target and shocks it making it so it can't break free" Jackie says as she calls for her next command.

"Now Heliolisk end it with Thunder!" "Pidgeot get out of there!" Both trainers call Heliolisk roars as it summons a large Thunder from the sky. Pidgeot tries its best to break free from the net but can't as every time it tries the net shocks it. Pidgeot then looks at the sky as the Thunder comes crashing down, Pidgeot cries out in pain from the super effective move it then creates an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Pidgeot!" Ash calls in worry when the smoke clears everyone can see Pidgeot it's laying on its stomach having no intention to continue as the ref speaks.

"Pidgeot's unable to battle Heliolisk is the winner!" The ref calls Jackie and Heliolisk cheer in victory while in the stands Giselle speaks.

"Pidgeot lost" Giselle says in a sad tone as Ritchie speaks.

"By having Sylveon increase its special attack power with Calm Mind and using Baton Pass to bring Heliolisk in it greatly increased Heliolisk special electric type moves." Ritchie says as Brock speaks.

"Jackie also knew that Ash would have Pidgeot charge forward so she had Heliolisk use Electroweb to trap Pidgeot. While Pidgeot was trapped in the net it suffered damage that also allowed Heliolisk to summon a Thunder which would hit Pidgeot as it wouldn't be able to move" Brock says as Joe speaks.

"Whoa Jackie really made a good plan to take down Ash's Pidgeot" Joe says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash grabs Pidgeot's Pokeball and speaks.

"Pidgeot return" Ash says returning the bird to its Pokeball. Once Pidgeot's inside he looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thank you Pidgeot take a good rest" Ash says he then puts the ball back on his belt as Jackie speaks.

"So, Ash what'd you think of my strategy?" Jackie asks Ash looks at her and speaks.

"I'll admit that was a good strategy you caught me off guard with that Electroweb but I won't be tricked again and my next Pokemon will prove that" Ash states while holding a Pokeball forward as Jackie speaks.

"Okay then bring it on" Jackie responds as her Heliolisk ready's itself Ash looks at his Pokeball and speaks.


"I was hoping to save you for later, but I need you now Lycanroc I choose you!" Ash says he throws the ball forward sending in his Dusk form Lycanroc. When the mon makes itself known it lets out a loud howl creating a shockwave showcasing its power. Jackie along with everyone in the crowd and those watching on TV are surprised to see Ash's Dusk form Lycanroc. Gary along with Paul also have shocked looks on their faces as Joe speaks.

"That Lycanroc it's different from its Midday and Midnight forms" Joe says as Misty speaks.

"That's because this form is called Dusk Lycanroc" Misty responds making the group confused as Brock speaks.

"After having an intense battle with a trainers' Midnight Lycanroc Ash's Rockruff evolved into this form when it was Dusk, so Daisy Oak named it Dusk Lycanroc" Brock says with the group nodding as AJ speaks.

"I've to say it looks cool" AJ says as Ritchie speaks.

"So, I'm guessing that this is Ash's "Secret Pokemon"" Ritchie asks with Misty and Brock nodding as Leaf speaks.

"It looks so cool I can't wait to see it in action!" Leaf says having an excited look on her face as she takes out her notebook getting ready to observe Ash's Lycanroc while also having stars in her eyes. Meanwhile, in the building where Red, Goodshow, Blue and the Elite 4 are they all have surprised looks on their faces as Goodshow speaks.

"I've watched many Lycanroc's battle before but I've never seen that kind" Goodshow says as Blue speaks.

"I think I remember my Dad and Daisy telling me that this is a new form of Lycanroc called Dusk form since Ash's Rockruff evolved at Dusk" Blue says as Agatha speaks.

"Dusk form huh? Interesting" Agatha says as Rose speaks.

"I knew about Ash's Hisuian Arcanine but I didn't know about this new Lycanroc it looks so cool!" Rose says while having stars in her eyes Lorelai then looks at Red and speaks.

"I've to say Red your son is really interesting" Lorelai says as Bruno speaks.

"I agree I'm interested in battling him one day" Bruno says with Red nodding he continues to look at the screen and thinks.

"That's my boy" Red says while smiling. Back on the battlefield Ash explained to Jackie that his Lycanroc is called Dusk Lycanroc Jackie nods and speaks.

"Man, Ash how many rare Pokemon do you have?" Jackie asks as Ash speaks.

"I only have my Hisuian Arcanine and Dusk Lycanroc for now, but I hope I see/catch more rare Pokemon in the future" Ash responds with Jackie nodding as she speaks.

"I see well even though your Lycanroc's appearance surprised me I'm still going to win Heliolisk use Thunderbolt!" Jackie calls Heliolisk roars as it fires a large Thunderbolt at Lycanroc. Neither the wolf nor Ash are worried as Ash calls for a command.

"Lycanroc dodge then use Accelrock!" Ash calls Lycanroc easily dodges the electric bolt by moving to the right its eyes then turn red as it shoots forward at blinding speed and rams its head into Heliolisk's stomach. The generator Pokemon coughs in pain as it's sent a few feet away landing on its back as Jackie speaks.

"Heliolisk are you okay?!" Jackie asks as Heliolisk groans in pain it stands back up but begins to pant heavily as Jackie begins to think.

"That one Accelrock did that much damage to Heliolisk? It's a good thing that the Reflect is still up because if it wasn't Heliolisk would've fainted" Jackie says to herself she then smiles and speaks.

"Amazing Ash your Lycanroc has a lot of power but we're not losing Heliolisk use Parabolic Charge!" Jackie calls Heliolisk covers its body in electricity opens its frills and creates an electric ball sending it in the air. When the ball is in the air it starts shooting out electric bolts everywhere as Ash speaks.

"Lycanroc dodge!" Ash calls Lycanroc nods it begins running around the battlefield doing its best to dodge the electric bolts. As it's doing so more electric bolts come from the ball making it harder for Lycanroc to dodge as one of the bolts shocks the wolf causing an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Lycanroc!" Ash calls in worry Lycanroc slides back from the smoke it groans a little in pain but is overall fine. Ash smiles he then looks at Heliolisk it glows green as its injuries heal Ash then thinks.

"So, similar to Drain Punch Parabolic Charge heals the user's wounds when the attack lands I'll have to be careful" Ash thinks to himself as he calls for his next move.

"Lycanroc let's go on the offensive use Stone Edge!" Ash calls Lycanroc roars it stomps its two front feet on the battlefield summoning the large sharp stones they head for Heliolisk as Jackie speaks.

"Heliolisk run forward and use Dragon Tail!" Jackie calls Heliolisk nods it runs forward at the incoming Stone Edge. Heliolisk then covers its tail in green dragon energy jumps forward and turns into a wheel spinning fast. Heliolisk begins to easily cut through the Stone Edge it keeps going until it reaches Lycanroc. Heliolisk then slams its tail hard on Lycanroc's head making the wolf groan in pain, Lycanroc is then sent back in its Pokeball as Gabite comes out instead which surprises both Ash and the land shark as Jackie speaks.

Now Heliolisk use Dragon Tail again!" Jackie calls Heliolisk covers its tail in green dragon energy and starts spinning towards Gabite as Ash calls for a command.

"Gabite use Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Gabite covers its body in dragon energy and shoots forward. The two mons then collide and begin pushing each other back. They keep doing that until Gabite wins the exchange making Heliolisk slide back Gabite then lifts up its foot as Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Earthquake!" "Heliolisk use Protect!" Both trainers call Gabite stomps its foot on the battlefield causing it to shake. Before it hits Heliolisk the generator Pokemon quickly summons a protective barrier blocking the attack. Once the shaking stops and the barrier goes down Heliolisk begins to charge up purple dragon energy in its mouth as Jackie speaks.

"Heliolisk use Dragon Pulse!" Jackie calls Heliolisk fires the purple dragon beam it travels down the battlefield going to hit Gabite as Ash calls for a command.

"Gabite counter with your Dragon Pulse!" Ash calls Gabite quickly fires its own Dragon Pulse it collides with Heliolisk's creating an explosion. During the explosion Ash hears Jackie returning Heliolisk and bringing in another Pokemon instead. The girl calls for a command as a Moonblast suddenly appears out of the smoke it goes to hit Gabite as Ash speaks.

"Gabite knock it away with Metal Claw!" Ash calls Gabite covers its right claw in steel energy and backhands the pink orb making it crash into a nearby wall. The smoke then clears as it's revealed that Jackie switched out her Heliolisk and brought Sylveon back in. Jackie has a smile on her face while Ash grits his teeth in the stands Giselle speaks.

"Wait when did Jackie send in Sylveon?" Giselle asks as Brock speaks.

"It was during the explosion Jackie quickly returned Heliolisk to its Pokeball as she knew it wasn't going to do much to Gabite and she brought her Sylveon back out" Brock responds with Giselle nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash begins to think.

"I should switch out Gabite but the moment I do I know Jackie's going to attack so I'll have Gabite damage Sylveon as much as it can before I return it" Ash says to himself he looks at Gabite and speaks.

"Let's keep going Gabite!" Ash calls with Gabite roaring in agreement as Jackie speaks.

"So, you're keeping in Gabite will that works for us Sylveon use Moonblast again!" Jackie calls Sylveon quickly creates a pink orb of fairy energy and fires it at Gabite as Ash speaks.

"Gabite dodge then use Stone Edge!" Ash calls Gabite dodges Sylveon's attack by moving to the right it then creates a large Stone Edge and sends it at Sylveon as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon destroy it with Psychic!" Jackie calls Sylveon's eyes glow blue as it stops the Stone Edge in midair and easily destroys it. When that happens Gabite appears in front of Sylveon it has its claws ready as Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Brick Break!" Ash calls Gabite's right claw glows white it brings it down and destroys the Reflect/Light Screen barriers. Gabite also hits Sylveon on the head causing some damage and making it slide back a few feet. The pink fox shakes it off as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon use Disarming Voice!" Jackie calls Sylveon lets out a beautiful voice with hearts coming out they head for Gabite as Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Sandstorm to hide!" Ash calls Gabite nods it roars summoning the storm of sand covering the entire battlefield. The sand hits Sylveon's face making it lose concentration and making its Disarming Voice disappear. Gabite then hides in the sandstorm and begins to wait as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon Gabite can appear from anywhere be careful!" Jackie calls with Sylveon nodding it begins looking in all directions waiting for Gabite to attack as Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Sand Tomb!" Ash calls Gabite makes the ground that Sylveon's on turn into sand before Sylveon sinks inside Jackie calls for a command.

"Sylveon jump in the air with Quick Attack!" Jackie calls Sylveon quickly jumps high in the air avoiding the move Ash smirks and speaks.

"Now Gabite use Metal Claw!" Ash calls in an instant Gabite shoots out from the sand hitting Sylveon across the face causing super effective damage. Sylveon lands back on the ground it then quickly stands back up before it can attack Gabite the land shark dives back into the sandstorm again as Ash speaks.

"Use Metal Claw again!" "Dodge Sylveon!" Both trainers call before Sylveon can dodge Gabite instantly shoots out from the sand again and hits Sylveon across the face Jackie then speaks.

"Sylveon Moonblast!" Jackie calls Sylveon quickly fires the pink orb of fairy energy, but Gabite dives back into the sandstorm again successfully dodging the move. Sylveon then suffers from sandstorm damage making it groan in pain in the stands Brock speaks.

"Thanks to Gabite's ability Sand Veil it's able to easily dodge Sylveon's attacks while in the sandstorm and attack Sylveon in multiple directions" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash speaks.

"Gabite use another Metal Claw!" Ash calls Gabite roars it covers its claws in steel energy and shoots forward going to hit Sylveon. As Gabite's getting closer Jackie smiles and speaks.

"Not a bad strategy Ash but it's still not enough Sylveon use Protect!" Jackie calls Sylveon nods it quickly summons a protective barrier and successfully blocks Gabite's attack. Ash and Gabite are surprised as Jackie speaks.

"Now that I've stopped you it's our turn to counter Sylveon Dazzling Gleam!" "Gabite dodge!" Both trainers call before Gabite can dodge Sylveon's body shines brightly, and it fires a big shiny light of fairy energy everywhere. The sandstorm's easily destroyed the light consumes Gabite making it cry out in pain and fly high in the air. When the light disappears, everyone looks at the battlefield they see that the sandstorm is gone they also see Gabite fall from the sky landing on the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Gabite!" Ash calls out to the land shark when he does Gabite stands back up it can still battle but is panting heavily as Jackie speaks.

"That's a pretty tough Gabite" Jackie says with her Sylveon nodding Ash looks at Gabite and begins to think.

"That Dazzling Gleam did a lot of damage to Gabite I've to return it" Ash says to himself he quickly pulls out Gabite's Pokeball and speaks.

"Gabite return!" Ash says with Gabite nodding it safely goes back in its Pokeball. Ash puts Gabite's Pokeball back on his belt he grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.


"Bisharp I choose you!" Ash says he throws the ball forward as his Bisharp appears. It has a serious look on its face and is ready to battle as Jackie speaks.

"So, a Bisharp's next Sylveon's taken a lot of damage I'll return it for now" Jackie says to herself she pulls out Sylveon's Pokeball and speaks.

"Sylveon use Rest then return!" Jackie says with Sylveon nodding it goes asleep healing all of the damage it took from Gabite then goes back in its Pokeball. Jackie pulls out her next Pokeball and speaks.

"Go! Trevenant!" Jackie says she throws the ball forward as what appears is a large slender brown tree like Pokemon that has a shadowy body. When it fully appears, it glares at Bisharp and gets in a battle stance with Bisharp doing the same as Ash speaks.

"Who's this Pokemon?" Ash questions as he takes out his Pokedex.

"Trevenant, the Elder Tree Pokémon. A Ghost/Grass type, Trevenant is able to control trees. It traps those who cause harm to the forest and never lets them escape." The Pokedex says in the stands AJ speaks.

"A Trevenant's her next Pokemon" AJ says as Ritchie speaks.

"I'm interested in seeing how Jackie uses it as in terms of type Ash has the advantage" Ritchie says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash speaks.

"I don't know much about this Trevenant but let's win Bisharp!" Ash says with Bisharp nodding Jackie smiles the ref calls for the battle to continue as Ash makes the first move.

"Bisharp use Air Slash!" Ash calls the sharp blade on top Bisharp's head glows as it fires the slashes of wind. They travel down the battlefield going to hit Trevenant as Jackie speaks.

"Use Shadow Claw!" Jackie calls Trevenant covers its hands in ghostly energy and slashes away at the Air Slash easily destroying it. When that happens Bisharp appears in front of Trevenant it has its right fist ready as Ash speaks.

"Now Night Slash!" Ash calls before Jackie can make a command Bisharp covers its hand in dark energy and slashes Trevenant's chest causing super effective damage making the mon skid back groaning in pain. Jackie then speaks.

"Not bad Ash but we're not done yet Trevenant use Trick Room!" Jackie calls Trevenant's eyes glow as it summons a room which covers the entire battlefield Jackie then speaks.

"Now use Drain Punch!" Jackie calls before Ash can make a command Trevenant shoots forward it reaches Bisharp in an instant and punches it hard in the stomach. Bisharp coughs in pain as it's sent flying a few feet away landing on its back as Ash speaks.

"Bisharp!" Ash calls in worry Bisharp stands back up it groans in pain but can still battle. Bisharp then looks forward and sees that the damage Trevenant received from the Night Slash has fully healed. Back in the stands Brock speaks.

"I see so the reason why Jackie brought in Trevenant is so it could use Trick Room which makes it faster than Ash's Bisharp" Brock says as Ritchie speaks.

"Not only that the Pokemon Ash has been using so far have all been speedy Pokemon so if he switches to his other Pokemon they will be a lot slower than Trevenant" Ritchie says with Brock and Harrison nodding while everyone else continues to cheer on Ash. Back on the battlefield Ash begins to think.

"I wasn't expecting Trevenant to use Trick Room now it'll be faster than Bisharp. And even if Bisharp successfully lands a hit on Trevenant it'll just heal its damage with Drain Punch what can I do now?" Ash says to himself Bisharp looks at Ash who's in thought and speaks.

"Sharp" Bisharp says catching Ash's attention Ash looks at Bisharp and speaks.

"Are you telling me to calm down?" Ash asks with Bisharp nodding Ash smiles and speaks.

"I see thanks Bisharp a second longer and I probably would've called for a bad command" Ash says with Bisharp nodding as Jackie speaks.

"What will you do now Ash? My Trevenant is now faster than your Bisharp" Jackie asks as Ash speaks.

"Your Trevenant may be fast now but that doesn't matter as Bisharp will still win" Ash states with Bisharp nodding Jackie smirks and speaks.

"Okay then come at us with everything you got!" Jackie responds with Trevenant roaring in agreement as Ash speaks.

"Alright here we come Bisharp use Dark Pulse!" Ash calls Bisharp quickly fires the stream of dark energy as Jackie speaks.

"Trevenant dodge then use Drain Punch!" Jackie calls Trevenant easily dodges the Dark Pulse. Its right fist then glows as it reaches Bisharp in an instant. As Trevenant goes to punch Bisharp Ash calls for a command.

"Bisharp use Screech!" Ash calls Bisharp lets out a loud ear-piercing Screech that hurts Trevenant's ears making the tree stop its advances as it begins to cover its ears. Trevenant also feels its defense decrease as Ash calls for a command.

"Now Night Slash!" "Trevenant use Double Team to dodge!" Both trainers call when Bisharp goes to hit Trevenant the ghostly tree dodges by making multiple clones of itself which surround Bisharp as Jackie speaks.

"Now use Power Up Punch!" Jackie calls the real Trevenant along with its clone's fist glow. They all charge at Bisharp going to hit it as Ash calls for a command.

"Bisharp use Sucker Punch!" Ash calls Bisharp disappears then reappears in front of the real Trevenant and punches it across the face making it skid back Ash then calls for his next command.

"Now Bisharp use Night Slash!" Ash calls Bisharp covers its arms in dark energy as it goes to hit Trevenant Jackie speaks.

"Trevenant use Double Team to dodge!" Jackie calls Trevenant quickly summons multiple copies of itself and dodges Bisharp's attack. Ash isn't worried, he sees Bisharp continuing to run as he calls for a command.

"Bisharp use Night Slash on the Trick Room!" Ash calls "What?!" Jackie says in surprise before she can tell Trevenant to stop Bisharp the long sword Pokemon makes it to the end of the Trick Room and Slashes it. When that happens, everyone sees the Trick Room break apart then disappear, the people in the crowd are shocked as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, way to go Bisharp!" "Pika!" "Rio!" "Fro!" Ash, Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie cheer Bisharp looks back at them and nods. Back in the stands Giselle speaks.

"Wait didn't Ashy Kins do something like this in the SS. Anne?" Giselle asks as Brock speaks.

"Yes, he did but unlike that time Ash already knows the effects of Trick Room. He made it seem like Bisharp was going to hit Trevenant but his real plan was to get rid of Trick Room" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Jackie speaks.

"Heh I wasn't expecting you to break out of the Trick Room so easily but that doesn't matter Trevenant use Growth!" Jackie calls Trevenant roars as it increases its attack/special attack power Ash then speaks.

"We'll increase our attack power too Bisharp use Swords Dance!" Ash calls Bisharp sharply raises its attack power then starts running towards Trevenant as Ash calls for a command.

"Bisharp use Night Slash!" "Trevenant use Grass Knot!" Both trainers call Bisharp continues to run towards Trevenant and covers its arms in dark energy. Trevenant quickly summons a grass knot Bisharp's about to run into it as Ash speaks.

"Bisharp jump then use Foul Play!" Ash calls Bisharp easily jumps over the grassy knot it then covers its body in dark energy and shoots towards Trevenant. As Bisharp is just inches away from hitting the mon Jackie calls for a command.

"Use Phantom Force!" Jackie calls Trevenant quickly dives underground dodging Bisharp's attack making the mon stop as Ash speaks.

"Bisharp Trevenant can appear from anywhere try sensing it!" Ash calls with Bisharp nodding. Bisharp closes its eyes it begins to concentrate on where Trevenant will appear. A few seconds later a portal opens above Bisharp, Trevenant appears from it, the tree has its fist ready as Jackie speaks.

"Now Drain Punch!" "Bisharp dodge then use Foul Play!" Both trainers call when Trevenant goes to hit Bisharp the mon quickly moves to the side dodging Trevenant's attack making the ghostly tree punch the ground. Bisharp then covers its body in dark energy and shoots forward Jackie's unable to call for a command in time as Bisharp hits Trevenant. Trevenant groans in pain from the super effective attack as it slides back a few feet away Ash then calls for his next command.

"Now Night Slash!" Trevenant use Phantom Force!" Both trainers call Bisharp shoots forward going to hit Trevenant but the ghostly tree quickly disappears dodging Bisharp's attack as Ash speaks.

"Bisharp spin around and fire Air Slashes in all directions!" Ash calls surprising Jackie the blade on Bisharp's head glows as it begins to spin firing multiple Air Slashes everywhere. When Trevenant appears from the Phantom Force it gets hit by a few Air Slashes causing super effective damage the mon then falls on the ground as Jackie speaks.

"Trevenant above you!" Jackie calls Trevenant looks up it sees Bisharp falling towards it having its arms covered in dark energy as Ash speaks.

"Now end it with Night Slash!" "Trevenant use Forest Curse!" Both trainers call before Bisharp hits Trevenant the tree eyes slightly glow as it fires a purple vine at Bisharp. The vine hits Bisharp but doesn't do any damage to it, Bisharp keeps going as it successfully slashes Trevenant with Night Slash and appears behind the mon. Trevenant groans in pain as it then falls down laying on its stomach in defeat as the ref speaks.

"Trevenant's unable to battle Bisharp's the winner!" The ref calls allowing for Ash and his Pokemon to cheer as Ash speaks.

"Great job Bisharp!" Ash says happily with the mon nodding the crowd lets out a loud cheer along with Ash's friends except for Brock, Ritchie and Harrison who're silent. Back on the battlefield Jackie returns Trevenant to its Pokeball she then looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thank you Trevenant" Jackie says as she puts the ball away, she looks forward and speaks.

"You may have defeated Trevenant but you won't beat this one come out Delphox!" Jackie says she throws the ball forward as her Delphox appears it pulls out a stick from its arm then lights the tip on fire it looks at Bisharp with Bisharp looking at it as Ash speaks.

"So, a Delphox's next, it's risky keeping Bisharp in but with its speed and dark typing it'll land strong hits. And even if it gets hit by a fire attack Bisharp should be fine as it's built up a small resistance to fire type attacks after training with Charcadet and my other fire types" Ash says to himself he looks at Bisharp and speaks.

"Let's keep going Bisharp!" Ash says with Bisharp nodding in the stands Harrison speaks.

"Ash just made a terrible decision" The teen says with Brock and Ritchie nodding before the others can ask what he means the ref calls for the battle to continue as Ash calls for the first move.

"Bisharp Dark Pulse!" Ash calls Bisharp quickly fire's the stream of dark energy it travels down the battlefield going to hit Delphox as Jackie speaks.

"Delphox Flamethrower!" Jackie calls Delphox takes a deep breath and shoots out the flames from its mouth. The two moves then collide creating an explosion, from the explosion Bisharp appears it has its fist ready as Ash speaks.

"Now Night Slash!" "Delphox Protect!" Both trainers call when Bisharp goes to hit Delphox the fire fox quickly summons a protective barrier blocking the attack. After the barrier goes down Delphox point's its stick forward it begins to heat up as Jackie speaks.

"Now Flamethrower!" "Block Bisharp!" Both trainers call the stream of fire appears out of the stick. Bisharp quickly brings up its arms and begins blocking the move. As Bisharp's blocking the move it begins to sweat because of how hot the flames are. Bisharp continues to sweat more and more until its arms give out and the Flamethrower engulfs Bisharp making it cry out in pain as Ash speaks.

"Bisharp!" Ash calls in worry a few seconds later Bisharp falls on the battlefield laying on its stomach knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Bisharp is unable to battle Delphox is the winner!" The ref calls Jackie and Delphox cheer as Ash speaks.

"What just happened? I know that Bisharp is weak to fire type moves but it should've been able to successfully block the Flamethrower" Ash questions as Jackie speaks.

"It's because of Forest Curse" Jackie answers as Ash speaks.

"Forest Curse? The move that Trevenant used but it didn't cause any damage to Bisharp" Ash says as Jackie speaks.

"That's because Forest Curse isn't an attacking move when the opposing Pokemon gets hit by Forest Curse it gains the grass typing" Jackie says surprising Ash in the stands Misty speaks.

"So that explains why Bisharp was unable to block the Flamethrower" Misty says as Harrison speaks.

"Yeah, Ash should've switched out Bisharp for a different Pokemon instead of keeping Bisharp in" Harrison says with the others nodding back on the battlefield Ash returns Bisharp to its Pokeball he then looks at the ball and speaks.

"Sorry for making you lose Bisharp that was a bad call on my part take a good rest" Ash says as he puts the ball back on his belt. Ash then sees Jackie returning her Delphox and speaks.

"You're returning your Delphox?" Ash asks as Jackie speaks.

"Yep, I'm saving Delphox for later and I'll bring this one back out" Jackie responds she grabs another Pokeball and throws it forward. When the ball opens Sylveon appears and is wide awake which surprises Ash as he speaks.

"So, Sylveon's back out then I'll use you" Ash says he looks at his next Pokeball and throws it.


"Hitmonlee I choose you!" Ash says Hitmonlee then appears from its Pokeball. The mon is in a meditation position then opens its eyes, Hitmonlee looks at Sylveon and can feel that it's a strong opponent. Hitmonlee stands up then gets in a battle stance as Jackie speaks.

"So, you're bringing in your Hitmonlee don't you think this is a bad idea?" Jackie asks as Ash speaks.

"Nope I see it as a good idea" Ash responds while having a confident smile on his face while Jackie smiles too. In the stands Joe speaks.

"Ash's sending in his Hitmonlee against Sylveon?" Joe says as Misty speaks.

"I'm sure he has a plan" Misty says with Joe nodding. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Jackie speaks.

"We'll go first Sylveon use Moonblast!" Jackie calls Sylveon quickly fires the pink orb it flies down the battlefield heading for Hitmonlee as Ash speaks.

"Hitmonlee kick it back with Blaze Kick then run forward!" Ash calls Hitmonlee covers its right leg in fire and easily kicks the Moonblast back towards Sylveon turning it into a fire ball. Hitmonlee then dashes forward heading for Sylveon as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon dodge then use Psychic!" "Hitmonlee use Sucker Punch!" Both trainers call Sylveon quickly jumps to the right dodging the flaming Moonblast. Before Sylveon fires the psychic Hitmonlee instantly appears in front of Sylveon and punches it across the face. Sylveon groans in pain but stands its ground as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon grab Hitmonlee with your feelers then use Fairy Wind!" "Hitmonlee use Detect!" Both trainers call Sylveon fires its feelers going to grab Hitmonlee but Hitmonlee uses Detect and easily dodges Sylveon's feelers. HItmonlee then runs over to Sylveon's left side as Ash speaks.

"Hitmonlee kick Sylveon in the air with Mega Kick!" Ash calls Hitmonlee's right leg glows as it kicks Sylveon high in the air. HItmonlee goes after Sylveon as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon use Moonblast!" "Hitmonlee dodge then use Bulk Up!" Both trainers call Sylveon quickly fires the pink orb but Hitmonlee dodges. Hitmonlee increases its attack/defense then makes it to Sylveon Hitmonlee gets its legs ready as Ash speaks.

"Now Close Combat!" Sylveon use Protect!" Both trainers call Sylveon doesn't have time to summon the protective barrier as Hitmonlee begins to kick Sylveon repeatedly making the pink fox groan in pain Ash then calls for his next command.

"Now kick it back down with Poison Jab!" Ash calls before Jackie can make a command Hitmonlee covers its feet in poison and kicks Sylveon hard in the face sending it crashing back on the ground Jackie then speaks.

"Sylveon are you okay?!" Jackie calls Sylveon stands back up it groans in pain but can still battle. Sylveon then begins to cough as it's now poisoned, Jackie then speaks.

"Sylveon above you!" Jackie calls Sylveon looks up and sees Hitmonlee falling towards it pointing its right knee forward as Ash speaks.

"Hitmonlee use High Jump Kick!" Ash calls Hitmonlee's right knee glows red it continues falling towards Sylveon going to hit it as Jackie speaks.

"Sylveon Dazzling Gleam!" "HItmonlee use Detect!" Both trainers call Sylveon quickly summons as shiny light of fairy energy it goes to hit Hitmonlee but the kicking mon manages to easily dodge the move and land back on the battlefield. Jackie and Sylveon are surprised they then see Hitmonlee shoot forward reaching Sylveon it has its leg ready as Ash speaks.

"Now use Poison Jab!" "Sylveon use Fairy Wind!" Both trainers call before Sylveon can fire the move it coughs because of the poison. Hitmonlee then covers its right leg in poison then kicks Sylveon hard in the face. Sylveon's then sent flying crashing below Jackie's feet knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Sylveon's unable to battle Hitmonlee's the winner!" The ref calls the crowd cheers as Ash speaks.

"Yeah! way to go Hitmonlee!" Ash cheers along with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie. Hitmonlee looks back at them and nods. In the stands Ash's friends cheer for him too as Joe speaks.

"Hitmonlee defeated Sylveon easily" Joe says while having a surprised look on his face as Brock speaks.

"Hitmonlee trains a lot with Ash's Clefable so it has experience with dealing with Fairy type Pokemon. Also, thanks to Detect allowing Hitmonlee to dodge Sylveon's attacks, increasing its attack power with Bulk Up and landing a couple Poison Jab's causing super effective damage made it easy for Hitmonlee to defeat Sylveon." Brock says with Joe nodding. Back on the battlefield Jackie returns Sylveon thanking it for a well fought battle she looks at Ash and speaks.

"I should've known that your Hitmonlee knew Poison Jab" Jackie says with Ash nodding. Jackie grabs her next Pokeball and speaks.

"Now I'll bring in my next one Go! Heliolisk!" Jackie says she throws the ball forward as her Heliolisk appears. The electric lizard groans from the pain it suffered from Lycanroc but can still battle Ash then speaks.

"Heliolisk is back in Hitmonlee can probably defeat it, but it would be best to switch" Ash thinks to himself he grabs Hitmonlee's Pokeball and speaks.

"Hitmonlee return" Ash says with Hitmonlee nodding it goes back in its Pokeball Ash then grabs another Pokeball and speaks.

"Gabite I choose you!" Ash says he throws the ball forward as his Gabite appears. The land shark roars but groans from the pain it suffered from Sylveon. Gabite then glares at Heliolisk with the electric lizard glaring back in the stands Misty speaks.

"It's now going to be a battle between Heliolisk and Gabite" Misty says as Ritchie speaks.

"Ash has the type advantage but Heliolisk is still a very fast Pokemon he'll need to be careful" Ritchie says as Brock speaks.

"They've both suffered a lot of damage from their previous battles too whoever lands the first hit will win" Brock says the group nod. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as both trainers speak.

"Gabite use Earthquake!" "Heliolisk jump then use Dragon Pulse!" Both trainers call Gabite quickly stomps on the battlefield causing it to shake. Heliolisk quickly jumps in the air dodging the attack it then takes a deep breath and fires the dragon beam at Gabite. The dragon beam quickly travels down the battlefield it goes to hit Gabite as Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Dragon Claw to block!" Ash calls Gabite covers its claws in green dragon energy it brings them up and connects with the Dragon Pulse. Gabite is pushed back a couple of feet, but it successfully blocks the dragon beam causing it to disappear. When that happens Heliolisk instantly appears in front of Gabite it has its tail ready as Jackie speaks.

"Use Dragon Tail!" "Gabite use Dig!" Both trainers call Heliolisk quickly covers its tail in green dragon energy and goes to hit Gabite with it. Gabite bends backwards narrowly avoiding the move, the land shark then digs underground as Jackie speaks.

"Heliolisk quick back away!" Jackie calls Heliolisk quickly jumps backwards as Gabite appears from underground missing Heliolisk as Jackie speaks.

"Now Dragon Tail!" "Gabite use Dragon Rush!" Both trainers call Heliolisk covers its tail in green dragon energy it runs forward then begins to spin fast. Gabite covers its body with dragon energy it flies forward and collides with Heliolisk. The two mons begin pushing each other back fighting to see who's stronger, they keep doing that for a few more seconds until they back away from each other. The two mons stop, they then open their mouths as Ash and Jackie speak.

"Use Dragon Pulse!" The two trainers call Gabite along with Heliolisk fire the dragon beams at each other. The two moves collide creating an explosion, Heliolisk then appears from the explosion as Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Crunch!" "Heliolisk use Agility to dodge and increase your speed!" Both trainers call Gabite covers its teeth in dark energy. When Gabite goes to bite Heliolisk the electric lizard dodges and begins to run around Gabite making multiple afterimages. Gabite looks around trying to keep up with Heliolisk's movements but can't as Jackie speaks.

"Now Dragon Pulse!" Jackie calls Heliolisk appears behind Gabite as it goes to fire the dragon beam Ash speaks.

"Gabite use Sand Tomb!" Ash calls before Heliolisk can fire the move Gabite makes the ground below Heliolisk's feet soft as a big tomb of sand appears making Heliolisk lose its concentration as it falls in. Heliolisk begins to struggle in the tomb of sand trying to get out in the stands Brock speaks.

"I see in order to stop Heliolisk's movements Ash had Gabite use Sand Tomb to trap Heliolisk and make it easier for Gabite to attack" Brock says as Misty speaks.

"With this Ash can win" Misty says happily with the group agreeing. Back on the battlefield as Heliolisk continues to struggle in the sand, it sees Gabite above it the land shark has its mouth opened as Ash speaks.

"Now Dragon Pulse!" "Heliolisk use Dragon Tail to get yourself out of the sand!" Both trainers call Gabite fires the dragon pulse before it hits Heliolisk the electric lizard covers its tail in green dragon energy and slams on the sand. Heliolisk is propelled upwards and narrowly dodges the dragon pulse surprising the crowd. Neither Ash nor Gabite are fazed the land shark jumps in the air as well getting above Heliolisk, Gabite gets ready as Ash calls for his next command.

"Gabite use Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Gabite roars it covers its body in dragon energy and heads for Heliolisk as Jackie speaks.

"Heliolisk use Dragon Pulse!" Jackie calls Heliolisk roars it fires the dragon beam at the incoming Gabite before the beam collides with Gabite Ash speaks.

"Gabite Break Thru it!" Ash yells with Gabite roaring as it connects with the dragon pulse. The dragon beam pushes Gabite back a little bit, but Gabite continues to roar increasing the power of its Dragon Rush. Gabite then begins to easily fly through the Dragon Pulse surprising Jackie and Heliolisk as Ash speaks.

"GO!" "BITE!" Ash and Gabite yell before Jackie can tell Heliolisk to dodge Gabite hits Heliolisk causing the two mons to come crashing back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone can see Gabite panting while standing over an unconscious Heliolisk the ref then speaks.

"Heliolisk is unable to battle Gabite is the winner!" The ref calls Ash along with his Pokemon cheer in victory so do the crowd in the stands Misty, Leaf and Giselle speak.

"They Won!" The 3 girls exclaim happily with the others nodding. Back on the battlefield Jackie's sad that Heliolisk lost but smiles she returns the electric lizard back to its Pokeball saying thank you. Jackie looks forward, she grabs her next Pokeball and speaks.

"I was hoping that my Heliolisk would've defeated your Gabite because of its speed but I didn't expect you to call for a Sand Tomb" Jackie says as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, it was the only way I could think of to slow Heliolisk's movements I knew you would have it jump in the air and that's when I knew Gabite was going to win" Ash responds with Gabite nodding as Jackie speaks.

"I see heh just what I expect from you I may have two Pokemon left but I'm not going down Go! Barbaracle!" Jackie says she throws the ball forward as her Barbaracle appears. The mon lands on the battlefield and lets out a mighty roar creating a shockwave that blows Gabite back a couple of feet, but it stands its ground. When Barbaracle's done roaring it gets in a battle stance as Ash speaks.

"So, a Barbaracle's next this is going to be tough" Ash says to himself in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Jackie's 6th Pokemon is a Barbaracle it looks bigger and stronger than Sanpei's" Leaf says with Brock and Misty nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash begins to think.

"Gabite's taken a lot of damage I should switch it out" Ash says to himself as he goes to grab Gabite's Pokeball the land shark looks back at Ash and speaks.

"Bite!" Gabite says telling Ash it doesn't want to go back yet Ash nods he looks at Gabite and speaks.

"Okay Gabite let's go!" Ash says with Gabite roaring in agreement. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Ash makes the first move.

"Gabite Earth Power!" Ash calls Gabite roars it punches the ground creating a large crack, it travels down the battlefield going to hit Barbaracle as Jackie speaks.

"Barbaracle dodge then use Ice Beam!" Jackie calls Barbaracle easily dodges the Earth Power by moving to the side it then fires the icy beam, the beam travels down the battlefield going to hit Gabite as Ash speaks.

"Gabite dodge use Swords Dance then Rock Smash!" Ash calls Gabite moves to the right easily dodging the icy beam it sharply raises its attack power then shoots forward. Gabite covers both of its claws in red energy it goes to hit Barbaracle as Jackie speaks.

"Use Scald!" "Gabite block!" Both trainers call when Gabite's close to Barbaracle the Collective Pokemon fires a stream of hot water. Gabite quickly brings up its arms successfully blocking Barbaracle's attack when it does that Barbaracle appears in front of Gabite as Jackie speaks.

"Now Ice Beam!" "Gabite dodge!" Both trainers call Gabite doesn't have time to dodge as Barbaracle fires the icy beam in Gabite's face the land shark cries out in pain, it then falls on the battlefield knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Gabite's unable to battle Barbaracle's the winner!" The ref calls Jackie and the Collective Pokemon cheer in victory in the stands Harrison speaks.

"Even though Gabite told Ash it wanted to continue fighting Ash should've listened to his gut and returned Gabite" Harrison says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash pulls out Gabite's Pokeball and speaks.

"Gabite return" Ash says returning the land shark back to its Pokeball. Ash looks at the ball telling Gabite it did a great job and for it to get a good rest. Ash pulls out his next Pokeball and speaks.

"Hitmonlee, I choose you!" Ash says bringing Hitmonlee back in, the mon looks at Barbaracle and gets in a battle stance with Barbaracle doing the same the ref calls for the battle to continue as Jackie makes the first move.

"Barbaracle use Scald!" Jackie calls Barbaracle fires the stream of hot water it heads for Hitmonlee as Ash speaks.

"Hitmonlee dodge then use Meditate!" Ash calls Hitmonlee easily dodges the hot water it then gets in a meditation position Hitmonlee closes its eyes and begins to increase its attack power Jackie then speaks.

"Barbaracle use Liquidation!" Jackie calls Barbaracle creates two water swords it shoots forward reaching Hitmonlee, as it goes to hit the mon Ash calls for a command.

"Use Detect then High Jump Kick!" Ash calls Hitmonlee opens its eyes and sees the two blades heading for it. Hitmonlee quickly jumps backwards dodging the move letting the two blades hit the ground instead. Hitmonlee then shoots forward, pointing its knee forward and hits Barbaracle hard in the chest making the collective Pokemon cough in pain. Barbaracle then recollects itself it then holds onto Hitmonlee tightly as Jackie speaks.

"Barbaracle use Scald!" "Hitmonlee quick use Detect!" Both trainers call Hitmonlee doesn't have time to use Detect as Barbaracle fires the stream of hot water in Hitmonlee's face making the kicking mon groan in pain as Jackie speaks.

"Now use Bulk Up then Superpower!" Jackie calls Barbaracle quickly bulks up its body increasing its attack/defense. Barbaracle's right claw glows crimson and it jabs Hitmonlee hard in the stomach making the kicking mon cough in pain. Hitmonlee is then sent flying and lands on the battlefield a few feet away, Ash gets worried and speaks.

"Hitmonlee!" Ash calls to the mon when he does, he sees Hitmonlee groaning in pain, but it can still battle. When Hitmonlee stands up it's then engulfed in flames as it's now burned surprising Ash as he quickly calls for a command.

"Hitmonlee use Refresh!" "Oh no you don't Barbaracle use Stone Edge!" Both trainers' call before Hitmonlee can use Refresh Barbaracle quickly fires a large sharp stone at Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee quickly jumps in the air dodging the attack when it does Barbaracle is in the air as well holding two water blades as Jackie speaks.

"Now Liquidation!" "Hitmonlee block!" Both trainers call Barbaracle brings down its blades while Hitmonlee brings up its arms. Hitmonlee is then sent crashing back down on the battlefield having successfully blocked the attack Ash then speaks.

"Hitmonlee above you!" Ash calls Hitmonlee looks in the air and sees Barbaracle falling towards it as Jackie speaks.

"Now Stone Edge again!" "Hitmonlee use Detect!" Both trainers call Barbaracle quickly fires multiple sharp stones down at Hitmonlee. The kicking mons eye glows as it dodges the stone edge by backing away, Barbaracle then lands back on the ground as Jackie speaks.

"Now use Bulk Up then U Turn!" Jackie calls before Ash can call for a command Barbaracle increases its attack/defense glows in green bug energy and shoots forward hitting Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee groans in pain before it can counter Barbaracle goes back in its Pokeball as Delphox takes its spot Jackie then speaks.

"Now Delphox use Psyshock!" Jackie calls Delphox's eyes glow blue as it summons multiple psychic orbs, that surround Hitmonlee and go to hit it as Ash speaks.

"Hitmonlee dodge the Psyshock then use Mega Kick on Delphox!" Ash calls Hitmonlee runs forward it easily dodges all of the psychic orbs. Hitmonlee continues to run its legs glow white then jumps forward going to hit Delphox as Jackie speaks.

"Now hold it in place with Psychic!" Jackie calls Delphox quickly summons the psychic waves and catches Hitmonlee holding it in the air. Delphox then points its stick at Hitmonlee's chest as Jackie speaks.

"Now Psybeam!" "Hitmonlee use Sucker Punch!" Both trainers call before Hitmonlee can use Sucker Punch its body is then consumed in flames causing it to stop. Ash grits his teeth while Jackie smiles Delphox's stick glows in psychic energy and shoots out the beam of psychic energy. Hitmonlee is sent flying as it crashes next to Ash. Ash looks at Hitmonlee he sees it try to stand back up but ultimately falls in defeat as the ref speaks.

"Hitmonlee is unable to battle Delphox is the winner!" The ref calls Jackie and Delphox cheer in victory in the stands Misty speaks.

"I wasn't expecting for Hitmonlee to be defeated" Misty says as Brock speaks.

"Me neither after Sylveon lost Jackie figured out a way to deal with Hitmonlee. First she had Barbaracle take the High Jump Kick which then allowed Barbaracle to grab Hitmonlee then use Scald causing some damage and giving Hitmonlee the burn status. After that she made sure to not let Hitmonlee use Refresh to heal the burn status and made sure to keep attacking dealing heavy damage to Hitmonlee. Then used U Turn to bring in Delphox to hold Hitmonlee in place with psychic then finish it off with Psybeam" Brock says with the group nodding as Giselle speaks.

"And now they both have two Pokemon left" Giselle says, back on the battlefield Ash along with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie are surprised that Hitmonlee lost Ash then bends down looking at Hitmonlee. The kicking mon looks at its trainer and teammates telling them sorry as Ash speaks.

"It's okay Hitmonlee you did great take a good rest" Ash says with Hitmonlee nodding as it goes back in its Pokeball. Ash stands back up he looks forward and begins to think.

"I can bring out Lycanroc next since it'll have the type advantage against Delphox but just like what happened to Hitmonlee Jackie probably has made a strategy to beat Lycanroc it would be best to save it for later. That means my next choice is you" Ash says to himself he looks at his Pokeball as Jackie speaks.

"So, Ash are you going to bring in your Lycanroc?" Jackie asks as Ash speaks.


"Nope my next Pokemon should be enough to take down Delphox and here it is Heracross I choose you!" Ash responds he throws the ball forward as the beetle appears. Heracross has a smile on its face ready to battle everyone is surprised by Ash's choice in the stands Joe speaks.

"Ash's sending in Heracross? Why not Lycanroc" Joe questions as Ritchie speaks.

"Even though Ash knows that Lycanroc has the type advantage against Delphox Ash most likely thought that if he sends Lycanroc back in Jackie will have a way for Delphox to counter Lycanroc" Ritchie says as Brock speaks.

"Not only that Delphox is also part psychic type so Heracross's bug type moves will do major damage on Delphox. Ash will just need to watch out for Delphox's fire type moves and strong psychic attacks" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Jackie then speaks.

"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting you to send in a Heracross I'm not sure what you have planned but Delphox and I are winning" Jackie says with Delphox agreeing with her as Ash speaks.

"We'll see about that let's do this Heracross!" Ash says with Heracross nodding the ref calls for the battle to continue as Jackie calls for the first move.

"Use Flamethrower!" Jackie calls the tip of Delphox's stick begins to burn as it fires a stream of fire at Heracross as Ash calls for a command.

"Heracross use Brick Break!" Ash calls Heracross's right fist glows white as the Flamethrower's about to hit it Heracross chops the fire in half destroying it. The crowd is amazed by Heracross's power as Ash speaks.

"Now use Swords Dance then Mega Horn!" Ash calls Heracross sharply raises its attack power its horn glows in green bug energy then flies forward going to hit Delphox as Jackie speaks.

"Use Protect!" Jackie calls Delphox quickly summons a protective barrier and successfully blocks Heracross's attack. Heracross tries to push through it's able to crack the barrier a little bit but is then bounced away as Jackie speaks.

"Now use Calm Mind then Fire Spin!" Jackie calls Delphox closes its eyes calming its mind increasing its special attack/defense. Delphox then opens its eyes as it points its stick forward and summons a fire tornado trapping Heracross inside. Inside the tornado Heracross is taking damage as Ash speaks.

"Heracross use Brutal Swing to break out!" Ash calls Heracross covers its horn in dark energy then begins to spin easily getting rid of the Fire Spin. When it's gone Delphox instantly appears in front of Heracross surprising both the beetle and Ash as Jackie speaks.

"Use Fire Blast!" Jackie calls before Ash can make a command in time Delphox fires the big blast of fire right in Heracross's face. Heracross cries out in pain as there's an explosion, everyone sees Heracross fly out of the explosion as Jackie speaks.

"Grab it with Psychic then use Hypnosis!" "Heracross dodge!" Both trainers call Heracross is unable to dodge in time as Delphox grabs Heracross with psychic then fires the hypnotic waves putting Heracross asleep. Delphox's psychic hold on Heracross becomes undone it falls on the ground happily sleeping as Ash speaks.

"Heracross wake up!" Ash calls but Heracross doesn't respond it continues to sleep as Jackie speaks.

"Alright this is it it's over for your Heracross, Delphox use Fire Blast!" Jackie calls Delphox shoots out a big blast of fire from its stick. The move travels down the battlefield going to hit the sleeping Heracross in the stands AJ speaks.

"This is bad if Ash doesn't do something soon Heracross is going to faint without landing a single hit on Delphox" AJ says as Giselle and Leaf speak.

"Come on Ash!" The two girls cheer loud for Ash, Misty continues to look down at the battlefield she sees Ash smirking as she speaks.

"Look Ash is smiling" Misty says everyone looks at Ash's face as Joe speaks.

"Why's he smiling? Shouldn't he be worried?" Joe asks as Brock speaks.

"Knowing Ash, he most likely has a plan" Brock responds with Joe nodding Harrison and Ritchie continue to watch the battle in silence. As the Fire Blast is getting closer to Heracross Ash then speaks.

"Sorry Jackie it's not over yet Heracross use Sleep Talk!" Ash calls surprising Jackie. When the Fire Blast is about to hit Heracross the beetle suddenly stands up then moves to the right dodging the attack. Heracross's horn then glows in green bug energy (using Mega horn) it quickly flies forward and hits Delphox in the face with its horn. Delphox is then sent flying a few feet then lands on its back groaning in pain as Jackie speaks.

"Delphox!" Jackie calls in worry Delphox stands back up but begins to pant it looks forward as it sees Heracross land back on the ground. Once Heracross lands the beetle opens its eyes as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, way to go Heracross it worked that training with Rowlet paid off!" Ash cheers with Heracross nodding in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Whoa I didn't know Heracross knew Sleep Talk too" Leaf says while having a surprised look on her face as Brock speaks.

"Me neither I guess Rowlet decided to help teach Heracross Sleep Talk before this battle" Brock responds with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Jackie's surprised she then smiles and speaks.

"Not bad Ash I didn't expect your Heracross to use Sleep Talk" Jackie says as Ash speaks.

"Thanks, after watching my dad's Snorlax use it I looked through my Pokedex to see which of my Pokemon can learn the move. Rowlet was able to easily master Sleep Talk as it's constantly sleeping. It took a while for Heracross to learn it but after training with Rowlet it finally mastered the move today" Ash responds with Jackie nodding as she speaks.

"I see but now that I know that I won't fall for anymore tricks Delphox Flamethrower!" Jackie calls Delphox quickly shoots out the stream of fire as Ash speaks.

"Heracross dodge then use Mega Horn!" Ash calls Heracross dodges the Flamethrower covers its horn in green bug energy and flies over to Delphox as Jackie speaks.

"You already tried this Ash Delphox use Protect!" Jackie calls Delphox quickly summons a protective barrier as Ash smirks and speaks.

"True but now I'll use this Heracross use Feint!" Ash calls "It knows Feint?!" Jackie says having a shocked look. When Heracross goes to hit the barrier, its Mega Horn goes away as it's replaced by a white energy. Heracross then slams its horn on the Protect easily destroying it surprising Jackie and Delphox. Heracross then jabs Delphox in the stomach with the top of its horn. Delphox groans in pain in the stands Giselle speaks.

"What's Feint?" Giselle asks as Brock speaks.

"Feint is a move which allows the user to break through moves like Protect and Detect and also cancels out its effects" Brock responds with Giselle nodding as Leaf speaks.

"I never would expect Ash to use a move like that" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"When Ash was training for the league, he felt as though Feint would be a good move to have for opponents who use Protect/Detect" Misty responds with Leaf nodding Ritchie, Harrison and AJ are impressed with Ash. Somewhere else in the crowed Gary and Paul are impressed too and in the building, Red is in he has a smile on his face. Back on the battlefield Heracross still has the top of its horn at Delphox's stomach, the fire fox continues to groan in pain as Jackie speaks.

"Delphox use Fire Blast!" "Heracross quick throw Delphox high in the air!" Both trainers call Delphox raises its stick it goes to launch the move, but Heracross uses its horn and throws Delphox high in the air. Heracross then flies after Delphox as Jackie speaks.

"Fire Blast!" Jackie yells Delphox roars as it fires a big blast of fire at Heracross. Heracross looks at the incoming blast and ready's itself as Ash speaks.

"Heracross break through the Fire Blast with Horn Attack!" Ash calls Heracross points its horn forward and enters the Fire Blast. Heracross groans in pain but continues to fly forward as it manages to successfully break out of the Fire Blast. Everyone is surprised that the beetle was able to do that Heracross then reaches Delphox it raises its horn as Ash speaks.

"NOW MEGA HORN!" "DELPHOX FLAMETHROWER!" Both trainers call Heracross covers its horn in green bug energy making it big. Delphox fires Flamethrower but Heracross cuts through it and hits Delphox in the chest with Mega Horn. Delphox is then sent crashing back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Jackie speaks.

"Delphox!" Jackie calls in worry Heracross flies back down on the battlefield when it lands it begins panting heavily while looking forward waiting to see Delphox's condition. When the dust clears everyone sees Delphox it's laying on its back knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Delphox is unable to battle Heracross is the winner!" The ref calls Ash and Heracross cheer in victory as the crowd cheers for them as well in the stands Misty speaks.

"He did it Heracross did it!" Misty cheers along with Giselle, Leaf and Joe as AJ speaks.

"I can't believe he defeated Jackie's Delphox with Heracross" AJ says having a shocked expression as Brock speaks.

"That's Ash for you, he always surprises us" Brock says with AJ nodding while Ritchie and Harrison smile. Back on the battlefield Jackie's sad that Delphox lost but smiles she returns the fox to its Pokeball she smiles and speaks.

"Thank you Delphox take a good rest" Jackie says she puts the ball back on her belt and grabs Barbaracle's Pokeball. Before she sends the collective Pokemon in Ash speaks.

"Heracross are you okay?" Ash asks he looks at Heracross wobble back and forth until it falls laying on its stomach knocked out. Ash has as surprised look on his face as the ref speaks.

"Heracross is unable to battle!" The ref calls the crowd is surprised as well in the stands Brock speaks.

"The Fire Blast that hit Heracross really did a lot of damage to it as it was also boosted by the Calm Mind. So Heracross fainting shouldn't be too surprising" Brock says as Leaf speaks.

"It was a good thing Heracross defeated Delphox before fainting" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"And now both Ash and Jackie have one Pokemon left" Misty says with the group nodding they continue to look at the battlefield as Ash pulls out Heracross's Pokeball and speaks.

"Heracross return" Ash says returning the beetle to its Pokeball Ash looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thank you Heracross you did great take a good rest" Ash says he puts the ball back on his belt then grabs Lycanroc's Pokeball as Jackie speaks.

"This is it Ash we're both down to our last Pokemon whoever wins this will move onto the Top 16 and that's going to be my Pokemon and me! Come Out Barbaracle!" Jackie states she throws the ball forward as the collective Pokemon appears. It lets out a mighty roar creating a shockwave it then stops roaring and stares at Ash as the boy speaks.

"Sorry Jackie but the ones who will move on won't be you instead it'll be my Pokemon and me! Lycanroc I Choose You!" Ash responds he throws the ball forward as the wolf appears. Lycanroc lets out a loud howl creating a shockwave. Lycanroc then stops howling, it looks at Barbaracle and begins to growl. Lycanroc gets in a battle stance with Barbaracle doing the same as the ref speaks.

"This is the final battle both trainers have one Pokemon left whoever defeats their opponent first will be declared the winner and move onto the next round. If both trainers are ready, you may now begin!" The ref calls when he does Ash and Jackie call for their command.


"Use Stone Edge!" Both trainers call Both mons roar (Lycanroc's eyes turn red) as they both stomp their feet on the ground summoning the sharp stones. The two moves travel down the battlefield and collide creating an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Now use Howl then Accelrock!" Ash calls Lycanroc lets out a mighty Howl increasing its attack power. The wolf then instantly shoots forward going to hit Barbaracle as Jackie speaks.

"Use Bulk Up and counter with Brick Break!" Jackie calls Barbaracle quickly raises its attack/defense it covers its right hand with white energy and collides with Lycanroc. The two mons begin pushing each other back seeing who's stronger, they keep doing that until there's an explosion causing both mons to slide back a few feet as Jackie speaks.

"Use Scald!" Jackie calls Barbaracle shoots out the stream of hot water as Ash speaks.

"Lycanroc dodge then use Drill Run!" Ash calls Lycanroc jumps to the right easily avoiding the move it then becomes a drill and shoots forward. Lycanroc successfully hits Barbaracle's chest making the Collective Pokemon groan in pain, Barbaracle then raises its left hand as Jackie speaks.

"Now Brick Break!" Jackie calls before Ash can make a command Barbaracle chops down on Lycanroc with its left hand making the wolf crash on the ground causing super effective damage. Lycanroc groans in pain it then looks up and sees Barbaracle standing over it as Jackie speaks.

"Now Liquidation!" "Accelrock!" Both trainers call Barbaracle summons two water blades it goes to hit Lycanroc but the wolf shoots upwards hitting Barbaracle's chin causing an explosion. Barbaracle slides back a few feet groaning in pain. Lycanroc lands back on the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Now Stone Edge!" Ash calls Lycanroc roars it stomps its feet on the ground summoning the large sharp stones they head for Barbaracle as Jackie speaks.

"Barbaracle use Brutal Swing and Liquidation!" Jackie calls Barbaracle summons two water blades it then covers its body in dark energy and begins to spin forward easily destroying the Stone Edge. When Barbaracle destroys all of the sharp stones it reaches Lycanroc and goes to hit it with Liquidation as Ash speaks.

"Lycanroc dodge then use Crunch!" Ash calls Lycanroc dodges both of Barbaracle's Liquidations it then bites down on the liquidation that Barbarcle's holding with its right hand and pulls it lifting Barbaracle from the ground as Ash speaks.

"Now throw Barbaracle on the ground!" Ash calls Lycanroc slams Barbaracle on the ground making the mon land on its back. Barbaracle groans in pain it then sees Lycanroc heading for it as Ash speaks.

"Now Drill Run!" Barbaracle dodge!" Both trainers call Lycanroc spins becoming a drill it shoots downward going to hit Barbaracle. But Barbaracle rolls to the left dodging Lycanroc's attack when it does Lycanroc digs underground. Barbaracle stands back up it feels movement underground as Jackie speaks.

"Barbaracle jump in the air!" Jackie calls Barbaracle quickly jumps in the air as Lycanroc appears from under it. Lycanroc continues to go after Barbaracle as both trainers speak.

"Use Accelrock!" "Brick Break!" Both trainers call Barbaracle covers its right hand in white energy while Lycanroc speeds up more. The two mons then clash in the air creating a shockwave, they begin pushing each other back and forth until Lycanroc notices that Barbaracle's going to hit it with its left hand as Ash speaks.

"Lycanroc dodge!" "Barbaracle hit with Brick Break!" Both trainers call Lycanroc manages to dodge Barbaracle's left hand. But the wolf is then hit in the head by Barbaracle's right hand causing it to crash back down on the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Lycanroc!" Ash calls in worry when the dust clears everyone can see Lycanroc groaning in pain, but it manages to stand up. Lycanroc looks at the sky, it sees Barbaracle falling towards it while holding a big water sword with its hands as Jackie speaks.

"Now Liquidation!" "Lycanroc dodge!" Both trainers call Lycanroc quickly jumps back as Barbaracle slams the giant sword on the battlefield creating a shockwave and cracking the field. Lycanroc lands on the ground as Ash speaks.

"Now Accelrock then Close Combat!" Ash calls Lycanroc shoots forward at blinding speed and hits Barbaracle hard in the face making the Collective Pokemon groan in pain. Lycanroc then begins to punch/kick Barbaracle repeatedly causing super effective damage to the mon. As Lycanroc continues to hit Barbaracle the collective Pokemon begins clinching its right fist as Jackie speaks.

"Now Superpower!" "Lycanroc dodge!" Both trainers call Lycanroc can't dodge in time as Barbaracle's body bulks up its right fist glows a red crimson and punches Lycanroc hard in the stomach. Lycanroc coughs in pain as it's sent flying 10 feet away and crashes on the battlefield creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone can see Lycanroc it's groaning in pain and panting heavily in the stands Brock speaks.

"This is bad if Lycanroc takes one more hit from Barbaracle it'll faint" Brock says with concern in his voice everyone continues to look at the battlefield they see Lycanroc stand back up and continuing to pant as Ash begins to think.

"Lycanroc won't last much longer I'll need to have it land a heavy blow on Barbaracle. The only move that'll work is the move Lycanroc learned after evolving but it'll need to take a hit" Ash says to himself he looks at Lycanroc and speaks.

"Lycanroc hang in there!" "Pika!" "Rio!" "Fro!" Ash along with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie cheer Lycanroc looks back at them and nods it looks back at Barbaracle as Jackie speaks.

"Well Ash this is it both of our Pokemon won't last much longer so I'll end it with this attack Barbaracle use Bulk Up then end it with Superpower!" Jackie calls Barbaracle roars it increases its attack/defense its body bulks up more covers its right fist in red energy and shoots forward. Barbaracle reaches Lycanroc in an instant it goes to punch the wolf as Ash speaks.

"Take the hit Lycanroc!" Ash calls Lycanroc nods as Barbaracle punches Lycanroc hard in the face causing super effective damage. Lycanroc feels as though it could black out at any second, but it holds on strong it looks at Barbaracle stands on its hind legs forms its right paw into a fist as it begins to be filled with orange energy Jackie gets a surprised look on her face as she speaks.

"Wait that move it knows it too?!" Jackie says as Ash nods and speaks.

"Yep, it does Now Lycanroc USE COUNTER!" "LY!" Ash and Lycanroc yell the wolf's fist begins to glow more as the orange energy becomes green energy Jackie then speaks.

"BARBARACLE DODGE!" Jackie yells Barbaracle nods when it tries to dodge Lycanroc's holding onto its right arm with its left paw. The wolf looks at Barbaracle giving it a look saying it's not going anywhere when Lycanroc is done charging the move Ash yells.

"NOW LYCANROC!" "ROCK!" Ash and Lycanroc yell as Lycanroc punches Barbaracle hard in the stomach. The collective Pokemon coughs in pain as it's sent flying going pass Jackie and crashing into the wall behind her. Jackie quickly looks behind and yells.

"BARBARACLE!" Jackie yells when the dust clears everyone looks at Barbaracle it's in the wall the mon then raises its head as it manages to get out of the wall. Barbaracle stands back up shocking everyone Jackie smiles as Ash speaks.

"It can still fight?" Ash says while Lycanroc pants but glares at Barbaracle with Barbaracle looking at it. The Collective Pokemon smiles its smile then goes away as it feels pain all over its body, closes its eyes and falls down laying on its stomach. Jackie's smile goes away as the ref speaks.

"Barbaracle's unable to battle Lycanroc's the winner. Jackie has no more Pokemon left meaning Ash from Pallet Town is the winner and will move onto the next round!" The ref calls Ash gets a big smile on his face and speaks.

"ALRIGHT!" "PIKA!" "RIO!" "FRO!" Ash, Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie let out a loud cheer while Lycanroc howls in victory the crowd cheers for them as well. Back in Pallet Town at Oak's ranch Delia, Oak, Daisy, Mr. Mime and Ash's Pokemon cheer happy that he won. Torracat continues to look at the screen and is happy to see just how strong Lycanroc has gotten after evolving but as its rival Torracat will continue to grow strong too. Meanwhile in the Johto region in a Pokemon center we see Gladion next to him is his Midnight Lycanroc they watched the battle and have smiles on their faces. We now come back to the stadium in the stands Ash's friends cheer for him as Joe speaks.

"He did it he defeated Jackie!" Joe cheers happily with the others nodding as Brock speaks.

"It was a risk calling for Lycanroc to use Counter, but it worked out in the end" Brock says with the others nodding Ritchie, AJ and Harrison both have smiles on their faces. Somewhere in the crowd Gary has a smile on his face while Paul has a stoic expression and leaves the stadium. Meanwhile in the building Red is in Rose is happily cheering for Ash Blue looks at Red and speaks.

"You seem happy" Blue says with Red nodding as he has a big smile on his face he continues to look at the battlefield as Ash's Heracross, Hitmonlee, Gabite, Bisharp and Pidgeot come out of their Pokeball's. They along with Ash, Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie run over to congratulate Lycanroc the wolf is happy as it jumps on Ash tackling him to the ground and begins licking his face. Meanwhile Jackie walks over to Barbaracle when she makes it to the mon Barbaracle looks at its trainer telling her sorry that it lost. Jackie looks at the mon smiles and speaks.

"It's okay Barbaracle you, Delphox, Sylveon, Heliolisk, Trevenant and Hawlucha all did great it sucks that we lost but this shows that there's still more we need to improve on" Jackie says her 5 Pokeball's wiggle as the 5 mons appear agreeing with their trainer. Barbaracle looks at them and smiles. Jackie then helps Barbaracle stand up when she does, she along with her Pokemon notice Ash and his Pokemon run over to them once they're close enough Ash speaks.

"That was an amazing battle Jackie you gave my Pokemon and me a tough challenge" Ash says with his Pokemon agreeing Ash then holds out his hand Jackie looks at him smiles and speaks.

"My Pokemon and I enjoyed it too Ash we may've lost today but next time we'll be the winners" Jackie states with her Pokemon agreeing with her as Ash smiles. Jackie then takes Ash's hand as the two shake hands with the crowd clapping for them. For the rest of the day a few more battles happen its now nighttime we see 16 trainers in front of Goodshow as he speaks.

"Congratulations on making it to the Top 16 from here on the competition will become a lot more challenging please look at the screen and see who you'll be facing" Goodshow says everyone looks at the screen as it begins to randomize their images. A few seconds later the images stop the trainers begin to see who they'll be facing Ash looks at AJ and speaks.


"Who're you facing AJ?" Ash asks as AJ continues to look at the screen, he finds his image and sees his opponent. AJ gets a smile on his face and speaks.

"Looks like I'll be facing Paul" AJ responds surprising Ash they look over at Paul who looks at them the boy then walks away heading for his room. Leaf, Gary and Harrison find their opponents too Ritchie then looks at Ash and speaks.

"Who's your opponent Ash?" Ritchie asks as Ash speaks.

"I'm not sure but whoever it is I'm going to win" Ash responds with Ritchie saying the same thing the two boys continue to look until they find their images. When they do they get shocked looks on their faces and speak.

"We're battling each other?!" The two boys exclaim as they see that they'll be the final battle of the day as Leaf speaks.

"Whoa I wasn't expecting you two to battle each other next" Leaf says with the two boys nodding Ritchie then breaks away from his shock he looks at Ash and speaks.

"Ash tomorrow just like during the SS. Anne tournament don't hold anything back I want to battle you at your full strength and this time the winner will be me" Ritchie states with Sparky giving a "Pika" in agreement Ash looks at Ritchie he smiles and speaks.

"Don't worry Ritchie my Pokemon and I won't hold anything back and we'll be the winners" Ash states with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie agreeing with him. The two boys continue to look at each other having excitement in their eyes. After that everyone leaves heading back to their rooms to sleep, we come over to Ash, Misty and Brock's room Misty looks at Ash and speaks.

"I'm surprised that you're going to be battling Ritchie tomorrow Ash do you know who you're going to use?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.

"Well, I know for sure that I'm using Charizard as Ritchie will most likely use Zippo. As for the others" Ash responds as he begins to think on who to use next Brock speaks.

"How about Noivern and Gengar. Noivern is fast, can deal heavy damage and would be a good counter for Gobi. Gengar can be tricky with how it fazes in and out of thin air" Brock says as Misty speaks.

"I think Wartortle and Tinkaton can be good choices too. Wartortle can help battle any ground types and Tinkaton is a powerhouse and can cause a lot of damage to the opponent if she hits them with her hammer" Misty says with Ash nodding as he speaks.

"Yeah those 4 should be great as for my last Pokemon I'll pick Farfetch'd in case Gengar goes down it'll be able to defeat any ghost types with its Scrappy ability" Ash says with the two trainers nodding Ash then speaks.

"Alright I got my team and I'm excited for tomorrow" Ash says with his friends nodding after that they all go to bed. We now come into Ritchie's room he's currently up with Sparky they are sitting at a desk Ritchie is currently writing on a sheet a paper. A few seconds later Ritchie smiles and speaks.

"Okay I believe with this team I'll beat Ash" Ritchie says with Sparky nodding. Sparky then yawns Ritchie looks at the yellow mouse smiles and speaks.

"Now that I look at the time it is pretty late let's go to bed" Ritchie says with Sparky nodding the two then go to bed looking forward to tomorrow as the chapter comes to an end.
