(Next Day)
After a lot of battles, it was time for Ash's Round 3 battle against Cameron and Ash and Cameron were entering the battlefield.
"Now for the last round 3 battle we have Ash vs Cameron" Freddy said as the two took their place on each side of the field.
"Both trainers have shown potential Ash defeating both of his opponents while only using Pokémon from another region, and while he dominated his round one opponent Cameron had a bit of luck against his round 2 opponent in Bianca" Mr. Goodshow said while Alder nodded.
"Ash don't think just because we are friends, I will go easy on you" Cameron said as he took out his first poke ball.
"I won't either" Ash said.
"This will be a 6vs6 battle between Ash and Cameron, the battle will be over when all Pokémon of one side are unable to battle, only between battles Pokémon can be changed, also after 3 Pokémon there will be a 15 min break and it has been decided that Cameron must send out his Pokémon first, are you ready" the Ref said as both nodded" then let the battle begin".
"Ferrothorn go" Cameron said as the Iron seed Pokémon appeared on the field.
"Emboar, I chose you" Ash said as the fire pig appeared on the field.
Although the battle was a short one since Emboar's Fire and fighting attacks and was able to deal a lot of damage, but over the short amount of time Ferrothorn set up Spikes and Toxic spikes, but in the end Emboar finished it off with Flare Blitz although Emboar was poisoned by the Toxic spikes but Ash had a tactic for something like this but waited for Cameron to send out his next Pokémon.
"Ferrothorn is unable to battle, Emboar is the winner trainer please send out your next Pokémon" the Ref said as Cameron returned his Pokémon.
"Samurott, go" Cameron said as the Water starter appeared on the field.
Even though Emboar didn't last long because of the type disadvantage and but at least he was able to destroy the Spikes and at the same time burned the Samurott, but in the end Emboar was defeated by Hydro cannon.
"Emboar is unable to battle, Samurott is the winner trainer please send out your next Pokémon" the Ref said as Ash returned Emboar and Cameron returned his Samurott.
"Volcarona go" Cameron said as the fire moth appeared on the field.
"Samurott, I chose you" Ash said as his Water starter appeared on the field glaring at his opponent.
Samurott was a lot stronger but also had the type advantage against Volcarona and with Aqua jet was able to take it out of the air and finished it off with Ice Aqua jet.
"Volcarona is unable to battle, Samurott is the winner trainer, please send out your next Pokémon" the Ref said as Cameron returned the defeated moth.
"Eelectross, go" Cameron said as the electro eel appeared on the field levitating in the air.
"Return, Samurott" Ash said as he thanked him" Krookodile, I chose you" the sand crocodile appeared on the field with its sunglasses on grinning when he saw his opponent.
The battle ended in a draw dew to both resisting the others stab moves and having a big variety of attacks, in the end it ended with Dragon claw and brick break.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle, this battle ends in a draw and since Cameron has lost three Pokémon there now will be a 15 min break" the Ref said as Ash and Cameron returned their downed Pokémon and thanked them before heading towards the benches on the sides of the field.
(In the stands)
Ash's friends were at the moment discussing about Ash's tactics especially the underground Flare blitz and the Ice Aqua jet.
"How does he come up with something like this, I mean how do you come up with something like an underground Flare blitz or using Aqua jet and then Ice beam to freeze it and making more damage with it" Cilan said as the others asked themselves the same thing.
"That's true, but that shows that Ash thinks out of the box and while the underground Flare blitz is his own creation, the idea of Ice Aqua jet comes from Dawn, but Ash was the one to perfect it and I think that nowadays most of his water types know how to use it to their advantage "Brock said as Dawn nodded and the others were astounded that Ash comes up with such ideas.
"I guess we came to late but at least we didn't miss the whole" ? Said as they turned around, they saw Gary, Pr. Oak, Pr. Juniper, Delia and two people they didn't know.
After greeting them brock asked" who are you".
"Well, my name is Verity and this is Sorrel, we were traveling with Ash through Kanto where we first met and later also through Sinnoh where both of us live" Verity said as they set down in the stands.
"But how is it standing at the moment" Delia asked the others.
Brock explained what has happened until now.
"So, Ash is at an advantage at the moment" Gary said proud about how good his old rival has been doing until now.
"Yes, but what I am asking myself before the tournament Cameron told us he had a sacred weapon" Iris said as Cilan remember what Cameron said the day of the opening ceremony.
"Well, we will have to see" Gary said as just now the break was over.
At the moment Ash and Cameron went back to their side of the field.
(back at the battlefield)
"Now we are back at the last round 3 battle between Ash and Cameron and since Ash has more Pokémon left, he has to send out his Pokémon first" the Ref said as Ash took out his next Pokémon.
"Lucario, I chose you" Ash said as a Lucario appeared on the field bigger than the one he used against Stephan and had a Scar running down his left eye which scared Cameron but not for long.
"When you go with this, I will go to go Lucario" Cameron said as his own Lucario appeared on the field and was a bit intimidated by the Lucario standing in front of him.
The battle didn't go anywhere since surprisingly Cameron's Lucario was able to hold up to Ash's Lucario and that went on for some time, but Ash decided to take it up a notch.
"Lucario how about we take this up a notch" Ash said as his Lucario turned around and nodded at him then Ash took out his Key stone and pressed it" Lucario Mega evolve" his Lucario was engulfed in a blue light and when the light died down there now stood a Mega Lucario standing on the field which shocked most of people in the stadium since they have never seen something like this happen.
Now with the change Ash's Lucario was dominating Cameron's Lucario and it wasn't even close and in the end Ash's Lucario finished it off with a Gigantic Aura sphere.
"Cameron's Lucario is unable to battle, Ash's Lucario is the winner, trainer please send out your next Pokémon" the Ref said as Cameron returned his Lucario and thanked him.
"Samurott come back out "Cameron said as the burned Water type appeared on the field again.
"Return for now, Lucario" Ash said as he returned the Lucario and thanked him" Serperior go" Ash said as the Grass Serpent appeared on the field.
The battle although Samurott knew Ice type attacks was a short on since Serperior was too fast for Samurott and dodge most of the attacks and in the end, she finished it off with frenzy plant.
"Samurott is unable to battle, Serperior is the winner, trainer please send out your last Pokémon" the Ref said as Cameron returned his Samurott and thanked him before taking out his last poke ball.
"Well, it is time for my sacred weapon Hydreigon go" Cameron said as the Dark dragon Hydra appeared on the field glaring at its opponent, but what shocked Ash was that he had a mega stone in a necklace" and I will take it up a notch Hydreigon mega evolve" As Cameron's Hydreigon was engulfed in a blue light and when it died down there now stood a mega Hydreigon on the field. (the one from Pokémon insurgence)
Hydreigon had no problem taking out both Samurott and Serperior and even though it put up a good fight Lucario also was defeated.
"Lucario is unable to battle, Hydreigon is the winner trainer please send out your last Pokémon" the Ref said as Ash returned his Lucario and thanked him.
Most of Ash's friends and his rivals asked themselves if he would be able to defeat Cameron's Mega Hydreigon or if this was the end of the road for Ash.
"I guess it comes up to this, but I do have to say this I would have saved this sacred for longer but since remembered your sacred weapon and because of it I decided to reveal it now " Ash said as he took out his last Pokémon but everyone apart from Pr. Oak, Delia, Gary, Verity and Sorrel was confused about what Ash talked" Show them your power" Ash threw out his last poke ball and suddenly a thick fog appeared in the stadium which confused most of the Stadium but shocked Alder, Mr. Goodshow, Paul, Brendan, Tobias, Misty and Brock because they knew only one Pokémon that was capable of creating such a fog, but that meant that Ash now had a Legendary Pokémon.
"Out of nowhere suddenly has now appeared a thick fog, but where did it come from" Freddy said as in the middle of the fog was a heard a howl and as suddenly as it appeared, it also disappeared, and it showed something shocking in front of Ash stood the beautiful Suicune with its fur shinned beautifully in the moonlight" I don't believe it Ash's last Pokémon is the Beautiful Suicune and with it Ash is now already the third trainer that has a legendary Pokémon".
(meanwhile in the stands)
"Since when does Ash have a legendary" Max asked as most of them were mesmerized by its beauty.
"Ash caught when he traveled the second time through Jotho and Misty, Brock Ash told us that you two know the Suicune and Suicune isn't the only one Ash has" Gary said as Misty and brock where shocked to see the same Suicune that helped them in the Ilex Forest incident.
"What do you mean" Bianca asked.
"You will see later in the tournament" Pr. Oak said as the others nodded and they then went back to watch the battle between the Pseudo Legendary in its mega form and the Legendary Pokémon.
The Battle was a close one and both were at the same strength with both having very effective attacks but with its ice attacks Suicune even thought through its ability Hydreigon could attack 8-times at the same time, but Suicune was able to dodge most of the attacks in the end Suicune finished it off with a combination of Ice Aqua jet and giga impact while pushing through eight hyper beams combined into one attack.
"Hydreigon is unable to battle Suicune is the winner, and the winner of the match is Ash Ketchum" the Ref said as Ash run to his Suicune and hugged her around the neck.
"And after an amazing battle Ash moves to the top 32" Freddy said as the hole Stadium roared in union at the amazing battle.
"You did an amazing job my girl" Ash said as Suicune started to lick him all over the face as everyone in the stadium smiled at the close bound between the two but the two separated when Cameron and his Hydreigon who was back in his normal form.
"Ash this was an amazing battle and I thought I had you when I defeated your, but you took myself by surprise when you send out your Suicune" Cameron said.
"Well, I met her years ago, but I has caught her a year ago and when I remembered you telling us about your sacred weapon and decided to use her since I actually thought that it was a legendary, but I guess this is close" Ash said as he was petting Suicune's head
"Well, I will wish you good luck in the rest of the tournament" Cameron said as he and his Hydreigon left while Ash stayed for the moment waiting for next rounds matches to appear on the screen and in the meantime, Ash returned his Suicune to its poke ball and when the matches appeared he saw he would have to face Harrison in the last 32.
After greeting his mother and the others he went to sleep and decided to choose his team tommorow.
(the next day)
Ash was sitting in the computer room looking up Harrison's Pokémon and was surprised to see Harrison having a Tyranitar and a Salamence.
Ash did think that probably Harrison's team would be Tyranitar, Salamence, Steelix, Houndoom, Weavile and Blaziken and as of this assumption he went with his Charizard, Lapras, Seismitoad, Houndoom, Tyranitar and if Pr. Juniper found him Archeops and if not his own Salamence.
After he decided his team, he called Lisa again and asked her for his Charizard, and after sending Charizard to him she also told him that his 2nd sacred weapon was destroying the legendaries he send to Lisa yesterday and Ash was proud about that his old friend had become that strong.
After he ended the call, he met up with Pr. Oak and Pr. Juniper who gave me the other five Pokémon Ash wanted to use in his last 32 match and Pr. Juniper gave him the Archeops and said that it took a long time to find the flock.
After that they went to watch the matches until Ash's match was up.
