Chapter 13 SS. Anne Tournament Round 3 Part 1

Hello everyone, here's part one of round 3 I'm splitting it into 2 chapters since I'm basically going to cover all the battles of our cast and I want each battle to get focus I also don't want to make this chapter extremely long as well, so now let us begin.

The chapter begins 20 minutes after Joe's and Justin's battle the group is back inside the room that Giselle's letting them stay in as they are waiting for Joe's and Sophocles's Pokémon to be healed (Brock is helping nurse Joy) especially Joe's Victreebel since it was really injured. Joe has tears fall from his eyes the whole time while Giselle and the others tried to comfort him. Meanwhile Ash, Kiawe, Ritchie and Iris are still angry as Ash speaks.

"I can't believe Mr. Goodshow would let him still continue in the tournament it makes no sense!" Ash says in anger as Ritchie speaks.

"I agree I don't like this either just what is Goodshow thinking?" Ritchie says while putting his hand on his chin as Ash speaks.

"Well, I don't care what he's thinking I'm going to go give him a piece of my mind" Ash states in anger he begins to walk towards the door until it opens. Gary walks inside shocking everyone as he speaks.

"So, this is where you have been staying it's pretty nice" Gary says looking around the room as Ash speaks.

"What are you doing here Gary?" Ash asks curiously, making Gary look at him as he speaks.

"I'm here to say that you guys should trust Mr. Goodshow he knows what he's doing" Gary says but that makes the group angry as Ash walks up to Gary, he grabs Gary's shirt collar then speaks.

"What do you mean trust him?! He's letting someone who almost killed Joe's Pokémon stay in the tournament I'm not trusting that guy!" Ash yells in Gary's face as Gary looks at Ash.

"So, what are you going to do now? Are you going to go try and change Mr. Goodshow's mind? What happened is now in the past and you can't change it" Gary says but at that moment Ash punches Gary hard in the face and knocks him to the ground. Everyone has surprised looks on their faces as Gary gets up and speaks.

"Geez Ashy boy it's been a while since you punched me, but this is a real punch!" Gary says with a smirk as he punches Ash back knocking off his hat making Ash angry.

"Why you?!" "Bring it Ashy Boy!" Ash and Gary say to each other as they get into a full-on fist fight, Kiawe, Ritchie, Cilan, and Leaf run towards them and try to stop them from fighting each other. A few seconds later they manage to pull them off each other Ritchie is holding Ash as Leaf tries to calm him down while Kiawe is holding Gary with Cilan trying to calm him down Ash then speaks.

"Let me go Ritchie I need to teach him a lesson!" Ash yells as he struggles to get out of the hold Ritchie speaks.

"No Ash you'll only make things worse!" Ritchie responds while doing his best to hold Ash Gary then speaks.

"Hahahaha as always Ashy Boy you always resort to violence without thinking" Gary says with a smug look on his face and not trying to get out of Kiawe's hold. This makes Ash angrier as he speaks.

"Why you?! Do you not care what happened 20 minutes ago Joe's Victreebel almost died and is going through an intense surgery are you saying you're okay with Goodshow letting that man continue in the tournament where he could potentially do the same thing to other trainers and their Pokémon?!" Ash yells in anger as Gary yells.

"OF COURSE, I'M NOT OKAY WITH IT!" Gary yells back shocking everyone as Gary continues to speak.

"After the battle me, Surge, and Violet confronted Goodshow about his decision on keeping Justin in the tournament" Gary says surprising everyone as Joe speaks.

"Ash it's okay let's hear what he has to say" Joe says as he walks over with Giselle and everyone else next to him Ash looks back and nods Ritchie now seeing that Ash has calmed down let's go of him Ash then looks at Gary and speaks.

"What did he say?" Ash asks curiously as everyone else listens closely Gary speaks.

"He told us to trust him he can't tell us everything, but he suspects Justin and those other people with him aren't who they appear to be" Gary responds as Leaf speaks.

"Not who they appear to be?" Leaf asks as Gary nods with Kiawe letting go of him so Gary can continue speaking.

"Yes, he told us that he has reason to believe that the evil organization Team Rocket is currently on this ship and thinks Justin might be one of the members in disguise" Gary says in a serious tone shocking Ash, Misty, and Pikachu as Leaf speaks.

"Who's Team Rocket?" Leaf asks as Ash and Misty begin to explain their encounters with Jessie, James, Meowth, Cassidy, and Butch (Yes, they got his name right) this shocks everyone.

"You guys have been battling people from an evil organization this whole time?!" Leaf asks in shock as Misty speaks.

"Well, it's not like we wanted to encounter them they mostly show up randomly" Misty says as Giselle speaks.

"I can't believe that my Ashy Kins has not only been fighting against Pokémon Hunters but also Team Rocket an evil organization someone catch me I'm going to faint" Giselle says but no one catches her as everyone's in shock. Ash starts to think for a couple seconds then speaks.

"You know now that I think about it Cassandra and Bob, I knew I heard those names before they kind of sound like Cassidy and Butch" Ash says in shock with Misty being shocked too as Ritchie speaks.

"Shouldn't we report them to the Officer Jenny's now that we know who they are so we can stop them?" Ritchie asks as Gary speaks.

"I don't think that's a good Idea" Gary answers as Kiawe speaks.

"Why not?" Kiawe asks as Gary continues.

"For right now this is all theory we don't have any proof I'm guessing that's why Mr. Goodshow hasn't made any moves yet since he wants to confirm before striking and if we do report Cassandra and Bob, it'll make the other rockets stay hidden and probably escape" Gary says with the group nodding as his words make since Misty then speaks.

"So was the reason you came here was to tell us all this?" Misty asks as Gary nods then speaks.

"Well, that and I just knew that Mr. Hothead over there would want to try something stupid, so I wanted to come and calm him down" Gary says in a mocking tone making Ash annoyed since what he said is true Gary then walks over to Joe and Sophocles.

"Hey, I'm sorry about what I said earlier, and I hope your Pokémon make a full recovery" Gary says in a reassuring tone making Joe and Sophocles smile as Ash speaks.

"So, what should we do now?" Ash asks as Gary speaks.

"That's simple you want to beat Justin right then make sure you train hard win your next match and beat that guy then win the whole thing" Gary responds while having a smile on his face making Ash smile as he speaks.

"Yeah, you're right I'm going to win and I'm sorry for punching you" Ash says as Gary speaks.

"Heh don't worry about it I barely felt your punches" Gary says as he rubs his face Leaf lets out a sign then speaks.

"You two always do this" Leaf says while looking at both of them as all three begin to laugh Cilan then speaks.

"Even though they fought they can still laugh, that's true friendship" Cilan says with everyone agreeing. When Ash, Leaf, and Gary are done laughing Gary walks over to the door and speaks.

"Well anyway I'm going to head to my room to rest good luck in your battle's tomorrow" Gary says with everyone nodding as leaves. As Gary's walking he feels pain from his face he then smirks and speaks.

"Man, he really got me good" Gary says to himself as he continues to walk away. Back in the room Misty looks at Ash then speaks.

"Are you okay Ash?" Misty asks in worry as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, I'm fine I just need to lay down and man Gary can be a jerk sometimes but I'm happy he showed up to stop me before I did something stupid " Ash responds as he lays down on the couch while Misty and Leaf begin putting bandages on his wounds Kiawe then speaks.

"Well, if I'm being honest, I was going to do the same thing as you as well" "Me too!" Kiawe and Iris say as Ash making Ash smile as Ritchie speaks.

"So now that we know Team Rocket could be on this ship it gives us another goal to work towards" Ritchie says the group nods as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, me and my Pokémon are going to train hard so if we do go up against Justin, we'll be ready" Ash says while having a determined look on his face with Pikachu and Raichu having the same look as Kiawe speaks.

"I'm going to train hard as well. I need to teach that Larry guy a lesson for messing with my friend" Kiawe says with everyone nodding. We now cut away from the group and see Croagunk mask walking through the hall while Jessie, James, and Meowth secretly follow him making sure they aren't noticed. As they continue to follow him, Croagunk Masks passing by Goodshow and says something to him. The trio are unable to hear as they're too far away. After that Croagunk Mask continues to walk as he reaches his room and goes to sleep with his mask on.


It's now the next day the battlefield is fixed, and everyone is looking forward to the first match between Brock and Grant except for Sophocles and Joe as they decided to stay in the room. Giselle, Mallow, and Cilan are there to keep them company luckily the room has a TV so they can watch the battles. Sophocles's Pokémon and Joe's Machoke are fully healed but Joe's Victreebel is still being treated but its burn marks are almost gone. Back on the battlefield we see Brock and Grant staring at each other as the ref speaks.

"This is a 3v3 battle between Brock of Pewter city and Grant the gym leader of Cyllage City please send out your first Pokémon!" The ref calls as Brock brings out his first Pokémon.

"Go! Golbat!" Brock says shocking Grant as the giant bat Pokémon appears and lets out a mighty screech.

"So, you're using a Golbat? Interesting" Grant says while smiling as Brock speaks.

"My Golbat is strong make sure not to underestimate it" Brock says with Grant nodding. Grant then pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.

"That's fine by me Amaura Go!" Grant says as a light blue four legged like dinosaur Pokémon appears and has a smile on its face. Back in the stands Leaf gets hearts in her looks at Ash and yells.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S AN AMAURA ASH LOOK ITS AN REAL AMAURA IT'S SO CUTE!" Leaf squeals happily as she begins to viscously shake Ash back and forth.

"I'm happy for you Leaf but please stop" Ash says while still being shaken. Pikachu on Ash's shoulder also being shaken he gets annoyed and lets out a Thunderbolt that not only shocks Ash and Leaf but also everyone else except for Ritchie and Sparky who quickly moved out of the way. When the Thunderbolt's done shocking everyone Ritchie speaks.

"Are you guys alright?" Ritchie asks everyone who're covered in black smoke saying they are okay. Back to the battlefield Brock and Grant saw what happened and let out a chuckle as the ref speaks.

"Now that both trainers sent out their Pokémon let the battle begin!" The ref calls as Brock makes the first move.

"Golbat use Mean Look!" Brock calls Golbat looks at Amaura with its eyes and makes it so Amaura can't be switched out. Brock then pulls out Golbat's Pokeball and speaks.

"Now Golbat return! Vulpix Go!" Brock calls as he switches out Golbat and brings in his Kanto Vulpix the little fox lets out a "Vul!" and gets in a battle stance. Grant's a little surprised that Brock switched out a Golbat but smirks and speaks.

"Pretty smart Brock now let's see you deal with this Amaura use Ancient Power!" Grant calls Amaura roars and fires 4 Rocks towards Vulpix as Brock speaks.

"Dodge then use Will-O-Wisp!" Brock calls Vulpix manages to dodge the 4 rocks and fires 5 purple flames towards Amaura and successfully burns it. Brock smiles and speaks.

"Great job Vulpix!" Brock says making Vulpix smile. Grant isn't worried as he calls for his next command.

"Use Rock Polish then Façade!" Grant calls Amaura roars as it shines brightly and greatly raises its speed. Amaura then charges forward at Vulpix and hits the fox with its head sending Vulpix flying as it lands a few feet away. Brock has a worried look on his face and speaks.

"Vulpix!" Brock calls in worry as Vulpix gets up but groans in pain. Brock lets out a relief sigh and thinks.

"Whew good thing I had Vulpix burn Amaura because if I didn't that attack could've knocked out Vulpix" Brock thinks to himself then calls for his next command.

"Use Flamethrower!" Brock calls Vulpix fires the stream of fire towards Amaura as Grant speaks.

"Block with Stone Edge!" Grant calls Amaura quickly summons a sharp stone in front of it and blocks the Flamethrower making Brock grits his teeth as Grant speaks.

"I borrowed this move from your battle against Roark" Grant says as Brock smiles honored that someone used his technique. Grant then calls for his next command.

"Now Amaura use Hail!" Grant calls Amaura roars to the sky creating clouds as hail begins to fall and start to damage Vulpix making the fire fox groan in pain Brock then calls for a command.

"Vulpix use Dig to escape the Hail!" Brock calls Vulpix quickly digs underground allowing it to escape the Hail. Neither Grant nor Amaura are worried as Armaura starts to lift its right foot Grant speaks.

"Amaura use Earth Power!" Grant calls Amaura suffers from burn but manages to stomp on the ground creating a large crack that forces Vulpix to come from the ground. Brock has a surprised look on his face then speaks.

"Oh no!" Brock says in worry as Grant smiles and calls for his next command.

"Now finish it with Blizzard!" Grant calls Amaura lets out a loud roar summoning a big blizzard that hits Vulpix causing damage. As it looks like Vulpix's going to faint Brock calls for a command.

"Vulpix use Sunny day!" Brock calls as before Vulpix faint's it yells to the sky summoning the harsh sun and gets rid of the Hail. A few seconds later Vulpix falls on the ground knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Vulpix is unable to battle Amaura is the winner!" The ref calls Grant and Amaura smile while Brock returns Vulpix. Brock looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thank you Vulpix you did well for your first real battle" Brock says as he sends Golbat back in. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Grant speaks.

"I'm interested in how you'll use Golbat, Amaura use Rockslide!" Grant calls as Amaura roars summoning multiple large boulders from the sky and flings then towards Golbat. Brock quickly calls for a command.

"Golbat fly forward and dodge with Double Team!" Brock calls Golbat summons multiple copies and they all fly forward doing their best to dodge the boulders. Most of the copies get hit from the Rockslide, but the real Golbat continues to fly forward dodging all the boulders easily impressing Grant.

"Not bad" Grant says as Brock speaks.

"My Golbat trains with my Onix and Graveler it's very good at dodging rock type attacks" Brock says while smiling as Grant smirks.

"Alright then let's try this Amaura use Blizzard!" Grant calls Amaura is hurt from the burn damage but pushes forward and fires the Blizzard at Golbat as Brock smiles and calls for a command.

"I was hoping you'd do that Golbat use Heat Wave!" Brock calls "What?!" Grant says in shock as Golbat fires out a wave of heat from its mouth that collides with the Blizzard. The Heat Wave is easily pushing the Blizzard back as Grant speaks.

"Come on Amaura push harder!" Grant calls Amaura, nods and begins to add more power as Brock speaks.

"Sorry Grant that won't work Golbat flap your wings!" Brock calls Golbat begins to flap its wings fast as that along with the Sunny Day increases the moves power. The Heat Wave then blows the blizzard away and begins to burn Amaura making the Pokémon scream in pain until it falls on the ground in defeat as the ref speaks.

"Amaura is unable to battle Golbat is the winner!" The ref calls allowing Brock and Golbat to cheer while the crowd roars in excitement. At the commentator's table Gary speaks.

"He used the power of Sunny day from Vulpix to increase Golbat's Heat Wave not bad" Gary says with Surge, Violet, and Goodshow nodding. Back in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Aw Amaura was defeated but I was able to some great data from watching it battle" Leaf says while writing in her notebook Kiawe then speaks.

"I wasn't expecting Golbat to have Heat Wave" Kiawe says as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, last week after Brock and I had a training battle with my Alolan Vuplix and Brock's Golbat Brock felt he needed to teach Golbat a move to deal with Ice types so with the help of his Vulpix and my Charmeleon Golbat was able to learn Heat Wave" Ash says with Kiawe nodding making him more excited to battle Brock. Back on the battlefield Grant returns Amaura to its Pokeball tells it thank you then looks at Brock.

"I wasn't expecting your Golbat to use Heat Wave, but I guess I should've known when your Vulpix set up the Sunny Day" Grant says as Brock speaks.

"We came up with this plan to deal with Golbat's weakness to Ice types you're the first one I used this tactic on so I'm happy it worked" Brock says with a smile as Grant speaks.

"Well, I'm happy I'm the first to experience it now Go! Solrock!" Grant says he throws the ball forward as a Pokémon that looks like a sun appears. Back in the stands Ash, Leaf, and Ritchie scan it with their Pokedex's.

"Solrock, the Meteorite Pokémon. Sunlight is the only source of Solrock's power. It can float silently through the air." The Pokedex says. Back on the battlefield, Brock has a worried look on his face then thinks.

"This could be bad" Brock says to himself. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Grant calls for the first move.

"Use Calm Mind then Flamethrower!" Grant calls Solrock quickly calms its mind raising its Special attack and special defense it then quickly fires a large Flamethrower towards Golbat as Brock speaks.

"Dodge with Double team!" Brock calls Golbat quickly makes copies of itself allowing it to dodge the Flamethrower. Golbat looks at Solrock as Brock calls for a command.

"Now Shadow Ball!" Brock calls Golbat creates a ball filled with ghostly energy and fires it towards Solrock as Grant speaks.

"Dodge then use Psychic!" Grant calls Solrock easily dodges the Shadow Ball then fires waves of psychic energy at Golbat as Brock speaks.

"Use Protect!" Brock calls Golbat quickly summons a protective barrier the Psychic lands it begins to crack the barrier and pushes Golbat on the ground.

"Are you okay Golbat?!" Brock calls Golbat quickly flies back into the air ready to continue the battle making Brock happy as he calls for his next command.

"Alright use Nasty Plot!" Brock calls Golbat sharply raises its special attack as Grant speaks.

"Use Psychic!" Grant calls Solrock fires the psychic waves at Golbat as Brock speaks.

"Counter with Shadow Ball!" Brock calls Golbat fires the giant ball of ghostly energy. The Shadow Ball consumes the psychic attack and hits Solrock causing super effective damage as Brock calls for his next command.

"Now Crunch!" Brock calls Golbat quickly flies forward towards Solrock it covers its teeth in dark energy and goes to bite the rock as Grant speaks.

"Now Flamethrower!" Grant calls Solrock fires the stream of fire in front of Golbat and hits it. The Flamethrower does more damage because of Sunny day, Golbat then falls on the ground now as it now has the burn status Brock then speaks.

"Golbat!" Brock calls in concern when Golbat stands up its body is then consumed in flames which hurts the bat more. The Sunny Day then goes away as Grant speaks.

"Well, it's a good thing I took advantage of that Sunny Day before it disappeared" Grant says with a smile as he calld for his next command.

"Now Solrock finish it with Psychic!" Grant calls Solrock fires the psychic waves at Golbat as Brock speaks.

"Use Double team!" Brock calls Golbat quickly makes multiple copies of itself dodging the move as it starts flying towards Solrock Grant speaks.

"Stone Edge!" Grant calls Solrock summons the sharp rocks from the ground they head for Golbat as Brock speaks.

"Cut them down with Steel Wing!" Brock calls Golbat takes burn damage but pushes through as it covers its wings with steel energy and begins to easily cut down the sharp stones. As Golbat's getting close to Solrock it gets its teeth ready as Brock speaks.

"Now Leech Life!" Brock calls before Grant can call for a command Golbat bites down hard on Solrock and begins to suck its energy making the floating rock groan in pain as Grant speaks.

"Knock it away with Psychic!" Grant calls Solrock uses Psychic on Golbat getting the bat Pokémon off it and throwing it high into the air. Golbat stops itself it looks at Solrock with Solrock looking at it as their trainers speak.

"Use Shadow Ball!" "Use Rockslide!" Brock and Grant call both Pokémon fire their moves the Shadow ball hits Solrock while the Rockslide hits Golbat both Pokémon fall on the ground knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Both Golbat and Solrock are unable to battle!" The ref calls both Brock and Grant are surprised as they return their Pokémon. Grant then looks at Brock and speaks.

"I must say Brock it's been a while since someone's given me this much of a challenge" Grant says as Brock speaks.

"Thanks, and I can see why you're a gym leader you're tough" Brock says as he takes out his next Pokeball with Grant doing the same. Back in the stands Viola speaks.

"I've been getting a lot of great pics from this battle" Viola says smiling as Alexia speaks.

"Yeah, and Grant seems to be enjoying himself" Alexa says with Viola nodding. Back on the battlefield Brock throws his Pokeball forward and speaks.

"Sandshrew! Go!" Brock says as the ground mouse appears ready to battle Grant then speaks.

Alright Brock let's see you try and overcome this last wall Tyrunt Go!" Grant says he throws the ball forward as a small T Rex like Pokémon appears and lets out a mighty roar causing the crowd to cheer in excitement as Ash speaks.

"Whoa! so that's a Tyrunt it's so cool" "I agree I want one!" "This really helps my research" Ash, Iris, and Leaf say with stars in their eyes as Ash goes to scan the Pokémon with his Pokedex.

"Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokémon and a Rock/Dragon type. Tyrunt's jaws are so big and powerful, it can crunch up a car. If it doesn't like something, it responds with a wild tantrum." The Pokedex says. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Brock makes the first move.

"Sandshrew use Sandstorm!" Brock calls Sandshrew summons a large sandstorm that covers the battlefield as Grant speaks.

"Tyrunt use Rockslide to get rid of the Sandstorm!" Grant calls Tyrunt roars it throws the large boulders in all directions and easily gets rid of the Sandstorm. When the Sandstorm's gone they don't see Sandshrew as Brock speaks.

"Now Brick Break!" Brock calls up in the sky Sandshrew right hand glows in white energy then dives toward Tyrunt as Grant speaks.

"Counter with Dragon Claw!" Grant calls Tyrunt leaps into the air with its right arm covered in green dragon energy both Pokémon manage to hit each other in the face as they both fall on the ground. Tyrant quickly stands back up as Grant speaks.

"Now Ice Fang!" Grant calls Tyrunt covers its teeth in ice and charges towards Sandshrew going to bite it as Brock speaks.

"Use Rapid Spin to trip it!" Brock calls Sandshrew starts to spin fast and successfully trips Tyrunt. Sandshrew then raises its right fist as Brock speaks.

"Now Earth Power!" Brock calls Sandshrew punches the ground creating a large crack that heads for Tyrunt as Grant speaks.

"Slam your tail on the ground with Dragon Tail to dodge the attack!" Grant calls Tyrunt covers its tail in green dragon energy then slams it on the ground propelling it in the air dodging the Earth Power as Brock speaks.

"Sandshrew use Swords Dance!" Brock calls Sandshrew sharply raises its attack power as Grant speaks.

"Tyrunt use Rockslide!" Grant calls Tyrunt still in the air fires multiple large boulders at Sandshrew as Brock speaks.

"Sandshrew use Rapid Spin to climb the boulders and get close to Tyrunt!" Brock calls Sandshrew nods as it begins to spin and bounces off the rocks getting close to Tyrunt. As Sandshrew's getting closer Tyrunt gets its teeth ready as Grant speaks.

"Use Ice Fang!" Grant calls Tyrunt covers its teeth in ice and goes to bite Sandshrew as Brock speaks.

"Dodge then use Brick Break!" Brock calls Sandshrew moves the right dodging Tyrunts attack. Sandshrew's right hand glows white and chops Tyrunt hard on the head sending it crashing back down on the battlefield. Sandshrew then starts to fall towards Tyrunt as Brock speaks.

"Now finish with Rollout!" Brock calls Sandshrew curls in a ball and begins rolling towards Tyrunt as Grant speaks.

"Counter with Crunch!" Grant calls Tyrunt opens its mouth and covers its teeth in dark energy ready to catch Sandshrew. The ground mouse then lands in Tyrunts mouth causing both Pokémon to fall on the ground creating a large dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone sees Tyrunt on its back while having Sandshrew in its mouth, the ref's about to call for a draw but Tyrunts grip loosens allowing for Sandshrew to jump out of Tyrunt's mouth and land safely on the ground. Sandshrew stumbles a little but gives a peace sign showing that it won as the ref speaks.

"Tyrunt is unable to battle Sanshrew is the winner! Since Grant has no more Pokemon this means that Brock has won the match!" The ref calls allowing for the crowd to cheer as Brock speaks.

"Great job Sandshrew!" Brock says happily Sandshrew then goes and jumps in its trainer's arms hugging Brock with Brock returning the hug. Back in the stands Ritchie speaks.

"Brock also defeated a gym leader from the Kalos region amazing" Ritchie says with a surprised look as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, Brock is really strong even though I beat him in our gym battle he still gives me a hard time in our training matches" Ash responds shocking the group (except Misty) and making Kiawe more excited to battle Brock. We now come to Viola and Alexia as Viola speaks.

"So, Grant lost as well" Viola says as Alexia speaks.

"Yep, but from the look on his face he's satisfied" Alexa responds with Viola nodding as Grant walks over to Brock after returning Tyrunt. When Grant makes it over to them, he looks at Brock and speaks.

"That was an amazing battle you gave me Brock thank you" Grant says with a smile holding out his hand as Brock speaks.

"I agree it was a fun battle and you almost beat me" Brock says happily while shaking Grant's hand. They hear the commentator's comments on the battle as they go back to their seats Alex then speaks.

"Now will Justin and Zack please come to the battlefield!" Alex calls as Justin and his opponent (a rocket member in disguise) walk to the battlefield. Everyone glares at Justin who just has a smile on his face as he and his opponent go to their sides of the battlefield the ref speaks.

"This will be a 3v3 Pokémon battle please send out your-" Before the ref finishes Zack speaks.


"I forfeit!" Zack says interrupting the referee and shocking everyone except Justin as Zack continues to speak.

"There's no way I'm battling him I'm out of here" Zack says as he walks away from the battlefield the ref speaks.

"Since Zack forfeited Justin will move on to the next round" The ref calls as Justin smiles and goes back to his seat before he sits down, he looks up and waves at Ash happily making Ash angry as Misty speaks.

"Ash?" Misty asks with a worried expression as Ash speaks.

"It's okay Misty I won't do anything he just annoying" Ash responds with Misty shaking her head in agreement Alex speaks.

"Will Larry and Zoe (another rocket grunt in disguise) come to the battlefield!" Alex calls Larry and Zoe go to the battlefield they go to their sides as the ref speaks.

"This will be a 3v3 Pokémon battle please send out your first Pokémon!" The ref calls as Zoe brings out an Arbox and Larry brings out a Tentacruel.

"Let the battle begi-" Before the ref finishes Zoe speaks.

"I forfeit!" Zoe says interrupting the ref as she returns Arbox and goes back to her seat shocking everyone except Larry the ref then speaks.

"Since Zoe forfeited the match Larry can automatically go to the next round!" The ref calls as Larry smiles, he returns Tentacruel and goes back to his seat. Back in the stands Ritchie speaks.

"That's strange I could understand why Zack wouldn't want to battle Justin but why did Zoe forfeit against Larry?" Ritchie questions as Kiawe speaks.

"I'm not sure but I get the feeling that those two are definitely working together" Kiawe says as he looks at Larry. Meanwhile with Croagunk mask he continues to watch Justin and Larry while in the shadows Jessie, James, and Meowth continue to watch him. Back on the battlefield Alex speaks.

"Moving on will Iris and Georgia come to the battlefield!" Alex calls as Iris stands up and speaks.

"Well, I'm off guys wish me good luck" Iris says the group nod as they then hear a voice.

"Yeah, you're going to need all the luck you can get against me" The voice says making everyone turn as they see Georgia behind Iris. Everyone looks at her as Iris speaks.

"So, your Georgia it's nice to meet you I'm Iris I've been watching your battles and you're really strong let's have a good battle" Iris says while smiling and holding her hand out, but Georgia just walks pass her not shaking her hand. Georgia continues to walk to the battlefield making Iris annoyed as Ash speaks.

"Geez what's her problem?" Ash asks as Iris speaks.

"I'm not sure but I'm going to beat her in our battle" Iris responds with fire in her eyes as she runs down to the battlefield and the two trainers go to their sides of the battlefield as the ref speaks.


"This will be a 3v3 Pokémon battle please send out your first Pokémon" The ref calls Iris pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.

"Druddigon you're Up!" Iris says she throws the ball forward as the dragon Pokémon lets out a mighty roar making Georgia smile. She pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.

"Bisharp Go!" Georgia says she throws the ball forward as a humanoid Pokémon that looks like a samurai appears looking it glares at its opponent with Druddigon glaring back. Back in the stands Ash and Leaf speak.

"That's cool!" Ash and Leaf say as they and Ritchie scan the Pokémon with their Pokedex's.

"Bisharp a Dark/Steel type it pursues prey in the company of a large group of Pawniard. Then Bisharp finishes off the prey." The Pokedex says. Back on the battlefield Iris speaks.

"You're using a Bisharp huh so far the only Pokémon you've been using were Cloyster and Jinx I thought you were only an Ice type trainer, so this surprises me" Iris says with a shocked expression as Georgia speaks.

"True I was planning on only using my Ice types and fairy types on you but it's been a while since I've battled with Bisharp so I thought it would be a good Idea for it to get a good workout in" Georgia says as Bisharp gets in a battle stance with Druddigon doing the same. The ref calls for the battle to begin as Iris speaks.

"Use Flamethrower!" Iris calls Druddigon fires the stream of fire at Bisharp as Georgia speaks.

"Dodge then use Thunder Wave!" Georgia calls Bisharp swiftly dodges the Flamethrower and fires out rings of electricity at Druddigon and successfully paralyzing it. Georgia smiles and calls for her next command.

"Now Guillotine!" Georgia calls both blades on Bisharp's arms extend the Pokémon runs forward, and slashes Druddgion before Iris could tell it to dodge. The dragon Pokémon then falls on its stomach knocked out shocking Iris and everyone else as the ref speaks.

"Druddigon is unable to battle Bisharp is the winner!" The ref calls Georgia smiles while Iris is surprised. Back in the stands Ash speaks.

"How did Druddigon lose to one move?" Ash asks as Ritchie speaks.

"Guillotine is a move that can instantly knockout the opponent in a single hit but it's very difficult to land" Ritchie says with Ash nodding as Kiawe speaks.

"I see so Georgia had Bisharp use Thunder Wave to slow Druddigon down allowing Bisharp to land the Guillotine" Kiawe says as Ritchie nods in confirmation everyone then looks back at the battlefield as Iris returned Druddigon.

"Sorry Druddigon" Iris says she then takes out her next Pokeball as Georgia speaks.

"You know for a dragon trainer you're pretty weak" Georgia says making Iris annoyed as she speaks.

"Oh yeah I'll show you how strong I am with my next Pokémon Excadrill GO!" Iris says she throws the ball forward as the steel mole Pokémon appears ready to battle Georgia then speaks.

"I can't believe you want to be a Dragon Master, but you have an Excadrill with you weird" Georgia says in a mocking tone as Iris speaks.

"Me and Excadrill have been with each other ever since I was a little kid of course I'd have it with me!" Iris says in anger with Excadrill nodding while Georgia scoffs.

"Whatever the result will be the same" Georgia responds both Pokémon then get ready to battle the ref calls for the battle to continue as Iris calls for a command.

"Excadrill use Earthquake!" Iris calls Excadrill stomps on the ground causing the battlefield to shake as Georgia speaks.

"Jump then use Laser Focus" Georgia calls Bisharp jumps in the air avoiding the earthquake it then focuses in on its target as Iris speaks.

"Excadrill quick use Hone Claws!" Iris calls Excadrill quickly sharpens its claws and increases its attack/accuracy as Georgia speaks.

"Now Focus Blast" Georgia calls Bisharp quickly focuses and fires a blast of fighting energy at Excadrill as Iris speaks.

"Pierce threw it with Drill Run!" Iris calls Excadrill transforms into a drill and shoots forward colliding with the Focus Blast. Excadrill's trying its best to drill threw it as Georgia speaks.

"Fire another Focus Blast!" Georgia calls surprising Iris and the crowd as Bisharp fires another Focus Blast that collides with the other one. Both blasts then push Excadrill back to the wall behind Iris creating an explosion as Iris yells.

"Excadrill!" Iris calls with a worried expression when the smoke clears it shows that Excadrill is still standing but heavily injured and is panting heavily Georgia then speaks.

"Hmmm not bad" Georgia says with a smile as Iris begins to think.

"Excadrill's taken too much damage already I need to switch" Iris thinks to herself as she returns the injured Excadrill Georgia then speaks.

"So, are you going to send out a dragon type next? Because if you are the result will be the same, you might as well just forfeit" Georgia says in a mocking tone making Iris mad as she speaks.

"What's your problem with Dragon types?!" Iris yells in anger as Georgia speaks.

"I don't really have a problem with dragon types my job is a Dragon Buster I want to battle and defeat every dragon user there is." Georgia responds as Iris speaks.

"But why do you want to defeat dragon trainers?" Iris asks curiously as Georgia speaks.

"Well, when I visited the Dragon village, I challenged a man named Drayden. His Haxorus defeated every single one of my Pokémon ever since then I've been training my Pokémon hard to one day defeat that man and every other dragon user out there. Since you want to be a "Dragon Master" I'll beat you then, I'll keep defeating more and more dragon trainers until I defeat that man" Georgia responds and has a confident smile on her face as Iris speaks.

"She battled master Drayden. I've also lost to him before, and she even visited my hometown. I need to take her seriously or I'll lose" Iris thinks to herself as she takes out her next Pokeball and takes a deep breath looks at the ball and speaks.

"I know you and I don't always see eye to eye but I'm going to need your help come out Dragonair!" Iris calls she throws the ball forward as the long blue Dragon appears and lets out a mighty roar. The crowd stares in awe at the beauty of the Pokémon as Georgia smiles and speaks.

"Heh well it'll be fun crushing this one" Georgia says while having a confident smile on her face as Iris speaks.

"Dragonair let's win this together!" Iris calls as Dragonair looks at her with an angry expression and nodding. It then stares at its opponent and begins to slam its tail on the ground repeatedly showing its ready to battle. The ref then calls for the battle to continue as Georgia makes the first move.

"Use Thunder Wave!" Georgia calls Bisharp quickly fires the rings of electricity at Dragonair as Iris calls for a command.

"We won't fall for the same trick twice use Extreme Speed!" Iris calls as Dragonair disappears before reappearing in front of Bisharp surprising the blade Pokémon. Dragonair then slams its head at Bisharp's face knocking the Pokemon to the ground and annoying Georgia as Iris calls for a command.

"Now Flamethrower!" Iris calls Dragonair quickly fires the stream of fire from its mouth as Georgia speaks.

"Use Protect then Iron Head!" Georgia calls Bisharp quickly summons a protective barrier blocking the Flamethrower it then hits Dragonair in the face with Iron Head making the dragon angrier as Iris speaks.

"Hit it back with Iron Tail!" Iris calls Drangonair quickly covers its tail in steel energy and hits Bisharp across the face with Iron Tail making the Pokémon stumble back a bit as Georgia speaks.

"Now Dark Pulse!" Georgia calls Bisharp fires the dark stream of energy as Dragonair as Iris speaks.

"Quick dodge then use Flamethrower!" Iris calls Dragonair quickly dodges the Dark Pulse it then gets in Bisharp's face and fires a point-blank Flamethrower at it causing super effective damage making Bisharp cry out in pain as Georgia speaks.

"You're not done yet Bisharp use Guillotine!" Georga calls Bisharp jumps forward with its blades extending going to strike Dragonair as Iris speaks.

"Use Extreme Speed!" Iris calls Dragonair quickly backs away narrowly dodging the Guillotine. Dragonair then shoots forward and hits Bisharp hard in the stomach making it cough in pain as it's sent crashing below to Georgia's feet unconscious shocking Georgia. The ref then makes the call.

"Bisharp is unable to battle Dragonair is the winner!" The ref calls allowing for Iris to cheer while Dragonair closes its eyes and blows smoke out of its nose in victory. Back in the stands Ash speaks.

"Yeah! Way to go Iris!" Ash cheers along with everyone else. Back on the battlefield Georgia returns Bisharp to its Pokeball and tells it good job. Georgia then pulls out her next Pokeball looks at Iris and speaks.

"Don't get confident just because you took down one of my Pokémon! Cloyster Go!" Georgia says as she throws the ball forward and a Cloyster appears. The mon looks at Dragonair and smiles making Dragonair growl at it in anger as Iris speaks.

"Dragonair calm down!" Iris says trying to calm down the dragon, but it continues to growl as the ref speaks.

"Let the battle continue!" The ref calls as Georgia makes the first move.

"Use Ice Shard!" Georgia calls Cloyster quickly fires shards of ice and successfully hits Dragonair in the face making the dragon angrier as Iris speaks.

"Dragonair use Thunderbolt!" Iris calls Dragonair fires an electric bolt that heads for Cloyster as Georgia speaks.

"Use Protect then Hail!" Georgia calls as Cloyster summons a protective barrier blocking the Thunderbolt. Cloyster then roars to the sky and summons a Hailstorm that causes more damage to Dragonair as Iris speaks.

"It's okay Dragonair use Extreme Speed!" Iris calls Dragonair nods as it shoots forward and hits Cloyster causing some damage as Georgia speaks.

"Now Ice Beam!" Georgia calls Cloyster fires the icy beam at Dragonair as Iris speaks.

"Flamethrower!" Iris calls Dragonair quickly fires the stream of fire as it collides with the Ice Beam creating an explosion and causing both Pokémon to back away from each other. Dragonair continues to look at Cloyster and takes some Hail damage as Georgia speaks.

"I'll end this with my next attack Cloyster use Blizzard!" Georgia calls when Cloyster begins to summon the blizzard Iris calls for a command.

"Dragonair quick use Rain Dance to get rid of the Hail!" Iris calls as Dragonair roars to the sky summoning rain clouds and getting rid of the Hail. Cloyster then fires off the Blizzard as Iris speaks.

"Now dodge the Blizzard!" Iris calls Dragonair easily dodges the attack making Georgia annoyed as Iris speaks.

"Now Thunder!" Iris calls Dragonair roars to the sky and summons a giant lightning bolt that hits Cloyster causing super effective damage as Georgia speaks.

"Why you! Cloyster use Ice Beam!" Georgia calls Cloyster quickly fires the icy beam and hits Dragonairs face causing major damage to the dragon. Iris then pulls out Dragonairs Pokeball and speaks.

"Dragonair return!" Iris calls bringing back the dragon she then pulls out another Pokeball and speaks.

"Excadrill Go!" Iris says she throws the ball forward as Excadrill appears. The Pokémon lets out a few huffs but is ready to battle as it and Cloyster glare at each other. Back in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Darn looks like Excadrill is still tired from the battle with Bisharp" Leaf says as Ash speaks.

"I hope Iris has a plan cause Excadrill is in really bad shape" Ash says as Misty speaks.

"So is Cloyster all Iris needs to do is land a couple more hits" Misty says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Georgia smiles and speaks.

"Heh you should've kept in your Dragonair thanks for the free win Cloyster use Surf!" Georgia calls as Cloyster yells summoning a large wave of water that heads for Excadrill as Iris speaks.

"Excadrill use Hone Claws then Horn Drill!" Iris calls Excadrill quickly sharpens its claws raising its attack and accuracy. Excadrill then becomes a drill and shoots forward heading for the large wave of water as Georgia speaks.

"Crush it Cloyster!" Georgia yells "Go Excadrill!" Iris yells Excadrill continues as the Surf comes crashing down consuming Excadrill. Inside the water the mole Pokemon continues to spin as it breaks out of the Surf and hits Cloyster creating a big explosion. As the smoke clears everyone can see Excadrill still standing but panting heavily while looking at an unconscious Cloyster. The Rain Dance goes away as the ref makes the call.

"Cloyster is unable to battle Excadrill is the winner!" The ref calls the crowd lets out a loud cheer as Iris speaks.

"Way to go Excadrill!" Iris cheers happily as Excadrill smiles and gives her a thumbs up. Back in the stands the group cheers too as Leaf speaks.

"Yeah, you rock Iris and Excadrill!" Leaf cheers along with everyone else. Back on the battlefield Georgia returns Cloyster to its Pokeball she then looks over at Iris smiles and speaks.

"Heh, please the only reason why you defeated my Cloyster was because you got lucky landing that Horn Drill. Also, that win doesn't count since it wasn't a Dragon Pokemon that knocked out Cloyster" Georgia says in a mocking tone making Iris look at her and speak.

"Stop being a sore loser it makes you look like a kid" Iris says in a mocking tone making Georgia mad as she speaks.

"If anyone's the kid it's you!" Georgia responds, "No you're the Kid!" Iris yells "No you!" Georgia yells the two girls then begin to yell at each for a few more moments until the ref reminds them, that they're in the middle of a battle. The two girls let out a few huffs as Georgia she takes out her final Pokeball smiles and speaks.

"This right here is my strongest Pokémon it was able to almost beat Drayden's Haxorus and you've no chance of beating it Go! Beartic!" Georgia says as she throws the ball forward and a big bipedal bear like Pokémon with white fur appears. It lets out a mighty roar causing some of the people and Pokémon in the crowd to cover their ears as Ash speaks.

"Who's that Pokémon?" Ash questions as he Leaf, and Ritchie scan the mon with their Pokedex's.

"Beartic, the Freezing Pokémon a pure Ice type. Beartic's frozen breath can create fangs and claws made of ice. It lives in frigid northern areas." The Pokedex says. Back on the battlefield Iris looks at the bear and speaks.

"Scary!" Iris says as she begins to shiver like she's freezing Excadrill looks at her with sweat dropping from its head. The ref then calls for the battle to continue as Georgia calls for the first move.

"Use Aqua Jet!" Georgia calls shocking Iris as Beartic immediately shoots forward and hits Excadrill causing super effective. Excadrill is sent flying a few feet away and lands on its back groaning in pain Georgia then calls for her next command.

"Now Icicle Crash!" Georgia calls Beartic roars summoning large icicles from the sky as they all hit Excadrill Iris then speaks.

"Excadrill!" Iris yells in worry a few seconds later Beartics attack stops, and everyone can see Excadrill laying on its back unconscious the ref then makes the call.

"Excadrill is unable to battle the winner is Beartic!" The ref calls Georgia smiles while Beartic roars in victory. Iris has a surprised look on her face as she was hoping Excadrill would last longer. Iris then returns Excadrill back to its Pokeball and tells it thank you, Georgia then speaks.

"Your final Pokémon is now Dragonair who's taken damage from Bisharp and Cloyster my victory is all but confirmed now" Georgia says with a confident smile as Iris speaks.

"We'll see about that I know my Dragonair will pull through!" Iris responds as she throws the ball forward sending the dragon back out. Dragonair roars and begins to slam its tail on the ground repeatedly as it's ready to continue battling the ref then speaks.

"Beartic vs Dragonite this match will decide the winner let the battle continue!" The ref calls as Iris calls for a command.

Use Extreme Speed" Iris calls "Let it hit you and grab it!" Georgia calls as Dragonair shoots forward at blinding speed hitting Beartic in the stomach causing some damage Beartic. But the ice bear then grabs Dragonair necks with its left hand and looks at the dragon while clinching its right fist Georgia speaks.

"Now Ice Punch!" Georgia calls as Beartic punches Dragonair hard in the face knocking the dragon on the ground. Dragonair groans a little in pain as Georgia speaks.

"Now Ice beam!" Georgia calls as Beartic begins to charge the beam of ice in its mouth Iris speaks.

"Trip it with Iron Tail!" Iris calls Dragonair coats its tail in steel energy and hits Beartics legs causing the bear damage and successfully tripping it over as Beartic fires the Ice beam in another direction. Dragonair stands back up it looks at Beartic as Iris speaks.

"Now Flamethrower!" Iris calls before Georgia can tell Beartic to dodge Dragonair fires the stream of fire consuming Beartic making the bear cry out in pain as Georgia speaks.

"Break out of the Flamethrower and use Icicle Spear!" Georgia yells as Beartic manages to escape the flames and summons the spears of ice from the sky that head for Dragonair Iris then speaks.

"Dodge it!" Iris calls as Dragonair begins to fly around the battlefield doing its best to dodge the icy spears Georgia then speaks.

"Use Aqua Jet and grab that dragon!" Georgia calls Beartic quickly covers its body in water flies through the air and not only hits Dragonair but grabs it as well. Both Pokemon fall on the ground with Beartic still holding Dragonair as Iris speaks.

"Dragonair use Flamethrower!" "Freeze it with Sheer Cold!" Both trainers call but Georgai's command was quicker Beartic roars as ice comes out from all over its body and freezes Dragonair before could fire the Flamethrower. Iris has a surprised look on her face as Dragonair's now completely frozen in ice. Beartic then let's go of the frozen dragon letting it fall on the ground as Beartic starts to walk back to its trainer Iris speaks.

"Dragonair please you can't be done yet ever since I found you as a Dratini you always wanted to be strong please Dragonair don't give up break out of that ICE!" Iris yells with tears in her eyes hoping Dragonair heard her plea but there's no response as Georgia speaks.

"Heh see it's like I told you, you can't defeat me and Sheer Cold when it lands is an instant knock out, so I win" Georgia says and begins to laugh as tears start to flow from Iris's eyes. Meanwhile in Dragonairs mind we see all of its memories it battled a really strong Hydregon as a Dratini but lost badly it thought it wouldn't make it until Iris found it and nursed it back to health. After recovering Dratini decided to stay with Iris with the goal of one day becoming a Dragonite they trained a lot, battled a lot, argued a lot, but it eventually evolved into Dragonair meaning it was one more step closer to its goal and Iris continued to train it more. While Dragonair didn't always agree with Iris's decisions in battle and would sometimes disobey, it still respects her as its trainer. And so Dragonair decides it won't give up now it'll break out of this ice and show just how strong it is.


We now come out of Dragonair's mind the ref is about to make the call that Dragonair is unable to battle but stops as he and everyone else notice the ice covering Dragonair starting to melt. Back in the stands Ash speaks.

"What's going on?" Ash questions as everyone continues to watch the ice melt more Georgia has a surprised look on her face and speaks.

"No, that's impossible" Georgia says with a shocked expression as Iris smiles.

"Yeah, I knew you could still battle NOW! BREAK OUT OF THERE DRAGONAIR!" Iris yells as everyone sees a Flamethrower shoot out of the ice completely melting and Dragonair flying in the air roaring causing everyone to yell in excitement Alex then speaks.

"I can't believe it Dragonair broke out of the Sheer Cold!" Alex says in amazement as the crowd begins to cheer. At the commentator's table Goodshow speaks.

"I see Dragonair was only able to break free because of the Flamethrower it was about to fire if it wasn't for that Dragonair would've fainted" Goodshow says as the other commentator's nod. Back on the battlefield Iris has a happy look on her face and speaks.

"You're amazing Dragonair!" Iris yells happily Dragonair continues to roar until it starts to glow a bright white shocking everyone as Georgia yells.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME!" Georgia yells as Dragonair gets bigger growing legs, arms, its blue skin becomes yellowish orange and gets wings once the evolution stops what was once a Dragonair is now a Dragonite. The dragon roars creating a big shockwave the crowd continues to roar in excitement and the disguised Team Rocket grunts and Croagunk mask are left speechless. In the stands Ash and Leaf speak.

"THAT'S AMAZING!" "YEAH, GO IRIS!" Ash and Leaf cheer loud as do everyone else they then scan the Pokémon with their Pokedex's.

"Dragonite, the Dragon Pokémon a Dragon/Flying type. Dragonite is said to live in the sea. With its small wings and large body, it can fly faster than the speed of sound." The Pokedex says. Back on the battlefield Iris looks at Dragonite she has a happy look on her face then speaks.

"You've evolved you fully evolved!" Iris cheers happily at her new Pokémon but Dragonite looks at her with a serious expression telling her to not celebrate yet with Iris nodding in understanding as they look at Georgia and Beartic who've surprised looks on their faces Iris speaks.

"Dragonite show them your new power!" Iris calls Dragonite roars it quickly flies at the shocked Beartic at blinding speed and punches it hard in the face a Fire Punch. Beartic flies across the battlefield landing below Georgia's feet groaning in pain. Everyone's surprised by Dragonites speed as Ash speaks.

"Wow that's fast" Ash says as Kiawe speaks.

"Yeah, I couldn't even see it" Kiawe says with the others agreeing. Back on the battlefield Georgia has angry look on her face as she calls for a command.

"Why you! I don't care that you Dragonair evolved victory is still mine! Beartic use Sheer Cold!" Georgia calls Beartic stands back up and roars sending out a wave of ice from all over its body that goes everywhere freezing the entire battlefield. The ice's about to hit Dragonite as Iris speaks.

"Dragonite use Superpower!" Iris calls Dragonite roars again as it quickly flies forward and is easily dodging the Sheer Cold. Dragonite's now in front of Beartic its body bulks up and its right fist glows an intense red as Iris speaks.

"GOOOOOO!" Iris yells as Dragonite punches Beartic hard in the stomach making the ice bear cough in pain as it's sent fly pass Georgia and into the wall behind her. Georgia looks at Beartic and yells.

"BEARTIC!" Georgia yells in worry as everyone can see that Beartic's stuck in the wall and is completely knocked out. The ref then makes the call.

"Beartic is unable to battle Dragonite is the winner since Georgia has no more Pokemon left Iris is the winner and will move onto the next round!" The ref calls allowing for Iris to celebrate Dragonite blows smoke out of its nose in victory the crowd roars in excitement too as Iris runs over to Dragonite. When she's close enough she looks at the dragon and speaks.

"We did it Dragonite you were amazing!" Iris says to the dragon Pokémon, but Dragonite turns its head from her not wanting to show her its smile making Iris chuckle a little bit. Georgia returns Beartic and begins to walk over towards Iris. When she's close enough Georgia looks at her and speaks.

"Look I don't consider this as a victory for you as you just got lucky that Dragonite evolved because otherwise I would've won if that didn't happen" Georgia says in an annoyed tone as Iris speaks.

"Yeah, yeah sure whatever the results speak for themselves I won you lost so stop acting like a kid and accept your defeat" Iris says as Georgia speaks.

"NO! I will not accept it when we battle again, I'll be the winner and you'll be the loser. Also, you're the kid!" Georgia yells making Iris annoyed the two girls begin to argue again this goes on for a couple minutes until they had enough then go back to their seats, they don't even get to hear the commentator's comments as Alex speaks.

"Now will Misty and Lana come to the battlefield!" Alex calls Misty and Lana stand and go to the battlefield as their friends tell them to have a good battle with the two girls nodding. When they make it to the battlefield, they stand on their sides and are smiling at each other. Violet is really looking forward to seeing her sister battle another water type trainer, everyone continues to watch as the ref speaks.


"Please send out your first Pokémon!" The ref calls as both girls send out their Pokémon.

"Popplio Go!" "Wimpod your up!" Misty and Lana call as both Pokemon jump out of their respective trainers' arms and land on the battlefield ready for battle. The ref calls for the battle to begin as Lan makes the first move.

"Use Aqua Jet!" Lana calls Popplio covers its body in water and shoots forward going to hit Popplio as Misty speaks.

"Use Screech!" Misty calls Wimpod lets out a loud ear-piercing screech that not only hurts Popplios ears but also Lana's making both trainer and Pokémon to cover their ears. Popplio can feel its defense decrease as Misty calls for her next command.

"Now use Scald!" Misty calls before Lana can tell Popplio to dodge Wimpod quickly fires the stream of hot water has hits Popplio. The Scald doesn't just damage Popplio but also gives it the burn status causing the seal pup to be consumed in fire as Lana speaks.

"Popplio!" Lana calls in worry as the seal suffers from burn damage Misty speaks.

"Great job Wimpod return for now" Misty says Wimpod nods as goes to her side Misty pulls out another Pokeball and speaks.

"Go! Starmie!" Misty says as she throws the ball forward and the starfish appears Misty quickly calls for a command.

"Use Psychic!" Misty calls Starmie fires the psychic waves and Popplio and hit it causing damage to the seal pup as Lana speaks.

"Use Ice Beam!" Lana calls Popplio fires the icy beam as Misty speaks.

"Counter with Thunderbolt!" Misty calls Starmie fires the electric bolt and easily destroys the ice beam. The Thunderbolt keeps going until it hits Popplio causing super effective damage making the seal pup cry out in pain until it falls on the ground. Popplio suffers burn damage one more time and can't fight anymore as the ref speaks.

"Popplio is unable to battle Starmie is the winner!" The ref calls Misty along with Starmie celebrate while Lana is surprised but smiles, she walks on the battlefield picks up Popplio and walks back over to her side. Starmie walks over to Misty the girl looks at it and Wimpod then speaks.

"That was great you two good job" Misty says as she pets the 2-mons making them happy. Back in the stands Iris speaks.

"Misty's really taking this match seriously she took out Popplio in an instant" Iris says as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, her pride as a water Pokémon trainer is on the line" Ash responds making Iris confused as Brock speaks.

"What Ash means is since Lana is also a water Pokémon trainer Misty wants to show her that she's superior with water types" Brock says Iris nods in understanding as Kiawe speaks.

"Well in that case the same goes for Lana" Kiawe says while having a confident smile on his face. Back on the battlefield Lana looks at Popplio and speaks.

"Thank you Popplio I'm sorry I couldn't show you off more in battle let's continue to train hard" Lana says to Popplio with the Pokemon nodding she then places it next to her looks over at Misty takes out a Pokeball and speaks.

"Well, I wasn't expecting Popplio to go down so soon, I can tell that you really want to win this battle but so do I from here on out I'm not holding back Go! Mareanie!" Lana says while having a serious look on her face as she throws the ball forward bringing out the Pokemon and unlike in the second round Mareanie is wide awake and is excited to battle. Misty has a concerned look on her face as she looks at Starmie and speaks.

"Starmie be careful Mareanie may not look it but it's really strong!" Misty says as Starmie nods. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Misty speaks.

"Use Psychic!" Misty calls Starmie fires the psychic waves at Mareanie as Lana speaks.

"Use Protect!" Lana calls Mareanie summons a protective barrier and easily blocks the Psychic. Lana then calls for her next command.

"Now Pin Missile!" Lana calls Mareanie immediately fires multiple pin like missile's at Starmie as Misty speaks.

"Use Rapid Spin to dodge!" Misty calls Starmie begins to spin very fast across the battlefield doing its best to dodge Mareanie's attack. As Starmie continues to dodge Lana smiles and speaks.

"Keep firing!" Lana says with a confident smile Mareanie nods as it continues to fire the Pin Missile and even increases the number which surprises Misty. Starmie's now unable to dodge the attack and starts to get hit by multiple pins with each one causing super effective damage causing the starfish to fall back on the battlefield groaning in pain as Lana speaks.

"Now finish with Knock Off!" Lana calls Mareanie quickly jumps in the air, covers one of its tentacles in dark energy and goes to hit Starmie. As Mareanie's getting closer to Starmie Misty calls for a command.

"Use Psychic!" Misty calls Starmie fires the psychic waves and hit Mareanie causing damage, but the Pokemon continues forward and slams its tentacle on Starmie causing the starfish to skid back toward Misty knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Starmie is unable to battle Mareanie is the winner!" The ref calls Lana and Mareanie cheer in victory while Misty returns Starmie and tells it good job. Misty then looks over at Lana, smiles and speaks.

"Not bad Lana your Mareanie is really strong" Misty says with a smile as Lana speaks.

"Thank you" Lana responds while having a smile on her face. Misty pulls out her next Pokeball and speaks.

"Vaporeon Go!" Misty calls as she throws the ball forward and the water fox appears ready to battle. Vaporeon looks at Mareanie and gets in a battle stance with Mareanie doing the same as Lana speaks.

"I knew this one was next" Lana says while having a smile on her face. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Misty speaks.

"Use Quick Attack!" Misty calls Vaporeon quickly shoots forward as Lana speaks.

"Counter with Poison Jab!" Lana calls Mareanie covers its tentacles in poison and collides with Vaporeon. Vaporeon tries to push Mareanies tentacles away, but Mareanie wins the exchange and pushes Vaporeon back making the water fox slide back a few feet. Vaporeon then looks at Mareanie and sees it taking a breath as Lana speaks.

"Now Scald!" Lana calls Mareanie fires the hot stream of water at Vaporeon as Misty speaks.

"Freeze it with Ice Beam!" Misty calls, Vaporeon fires the icy beam and freezes the Scald. Lana isn't worried as she calls for her next command.

"Use Sludge Wave!" Lana calls Mareanie fires a wave of sludge at Vaporeon as Misty speaks.

"Dodge it with Quick Attack!" Misty calls Vaporeon quickly jumps in the air avoiding the wave of sludge as Lana speaks.

"Now Gunk Shot!" Lana calls Mareanie immediately throws what looks like trash at Vaporeon and hits the blue fox making it fall from the sky as it crashes back down on the battlefield. Vaporeon stands back up the Gunk Shot not only caused damage but also poisoned it. Vaporeon's now struggling to continue standing as it can feel the poison throughout its body Misty then speaks.

"Vaporeon use Quick Attack to get in close!" Misty calls as Vaporeon charges forward Lana speaks.

"Heh you already tried this before Misty, and it didn't work. Mareanie finish it off with Venoshock!" Lana calls Mareanie fires the move at the incoming Vaporeon consuming the blue fox causing major damage to it as Misty speaks.

"Come on Vaporeon push through!" Misty yells giving Vaporeon encouragement. Vaporeon groans in pain from being inside the Venoshock but it still pushes forward until it makes it out of the Venoshock and is in front of Mareanie surprising both Lana and Mareanie as Misty speaks.

"Now use Façade!" Misty calls as Vaporeon lets out a mighty roar. A red aura covers Vaporeons body it spins around and hits Mareanie hard in the face with its tail sending it crashing into the wall behind Lana. Lana looks over at Mareanie and sees it fall on the ground knocked out the ref then speaks.

"Mareanie is unable to battle Vaporeon is the winner!" The ref calls Misty cheers while Lana is left speechless as this is the second time Mareanie lost in battle. Lana lets out a sign but smiles that Mareanie did good and returns the Pokémon. Back in the stands Kiawe speaks.

"Wow she really took down Lana's Mareanie even I had trouble beating it not bad" Kiawe says as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, Misty's Vaporeon is amazing" Ash says with a smile. Back on the battlefield Misty looks at Vaporeon and speaks.

"That was amazing Vaporeon I knew you could do it!" Misty says happily but notices Vaporeon breathing very hard as it falls on the ground unable to battle shocking Misty and the crowd as the ref speaks.

"Vaporeon is unable to battle both trainers now have one Pokemon left!" The ref calls Misty loses her shocked expression as she smiles and returns the blue fox to its Pokeball thanking it for battling hard. Back in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Darn Vaporeon went down" Leaf says in a sad tone as Ritchie speaks.

"Well, when you consider the fact that Vaporeon was hit with Gunk Shot, was poisoned and hit with Venoshock it makes since as to why it fell" Ritchie says with Leaf nodding as Brock speaks.

"Now they both have one Pokémon each Misty with Wimpod and Lana with Dewpider both Pokémon haven't taken any damage yet so this will be the deciding match" Brock says with everyone nodding Ash looks on at the battlefield and thinks.

"Come on Misty and Wimpod you can do it" Ash thinks to himself with determination in his eyes. Back on the battlefield Lana pulls out Dewpiders Pokeball looks at Misty and speaks.

"Well Misty this is it we both have one Pokemon left I've really been enjoying our battle so far but I'm going to be the one who wins Dewpider Come Out!" Lana says she throws the ball forward and brings out the water spider Pokemon who gets in a battle stance as Misty speaks.

"I've also been really enjoying our battle as well Lana, but the one winning this battle will be me! Wimpod I Choose you!" Misty says as Wimpod crawls back on the battlefield and is ready to win the match for its trainer. The ref then speaks.


"Now let the battle continue!" The ref calls as both trainers call for their moves.

"Use Scald!" Both trainers call as both Pokemon fire the hot water at each other the moves collide creating an explosion Lana quickly calls for her next command.

"Use Sticky Web!" Lana calls Dewpider fires multiple webs from its mouth they head for Wimpod as Misty speaks.

"Use Aqua Jet to dodge the webs!" Misty calls Wimpod covers it body in water and shoots in the air easily dodging the webs as it heads straight for Dewpider Misty speaks.

"Go Wimpod!" Misty calls "Counter with Poison Jab!" Lana calls when Wimpod's about to hit Dewpider the water spider quickly covers one of its legs with poison collides with Wimpod. The 2-mons push each other back and forth for a little bit until they skid away from each other. Wimpod manages to stop itself as Misty speaks.

"Use Swift!" Misty calls Wimpod fires multiple stars from its mouth they go to hit Dewpider as Lana speaks.

"Knock them all away with Liquidation!" Lana calls as Dewpider covers its legs with water and starts to easily knock away the Swift Misty speaks.

"Now Scald!" Misty calls as Wimpod immediately fires the hot water at Dewpider Lana speaks.

"Block it!" Lana calls Dewpider quickly brings up its arms that are still covered with water and succufully blocks the Scald. The Scald does do some damage to Dewpider but it's overall fine as Misty speaks.

"Let's keep up the pressure use Aqua Jet!" Misty calls as Wimpod immediately shoots forward and hits Dewpider in the face. This makes the water spider mad as it looks at Wimpod Lana speaks.

"Now Ice Beam!" Lana calls "It knows Ice Beam?!" Misty says in shock as Dewpider fires the icy beam right in Wimpod's face causing some damage to the bug Pokemon causing Wimpod to back up a little bit. Dewpider then gets its teeth ready as Lana speaks.

"Use Crunch!" Lana calls Dewpider covers its teeth in dark energy jumps forward and bites down hard on Wimpod causing damage and making it cry out in pain as Misty speaks.

"Hang in there Wimpod!" Misty yells encouraging Wimpod as Lana speaks.

"Sorry Misty but this is my win Dewpider use Poison Jab!" Lana calls Dewpider covers one of its legs in poison and goes to hit Wimpod as Misty speaks.

"Use Screech!" Misty quickly calls as Wimpod lets out a loud screech making Dewpider cancel the Poison Jab as it backs away covering its ears and making sure its bubble doesn't pop. Dewpider can feel its defense is lower as Misty calls for a command.

"Now use Aqua Jet!" Misty calls Wimpod covers its body in water and shoots forward hitting Dewpider in the stomach causing damage to the water spider as Lana speaks.

"Knock it away with Liquidation!" Lana calls Dewpider covers its legs in water and jabs Wimpod knocking it a few feet away. Both Pokémon then lay on the ground and start to pant heavily as Lana speaks.

"Come on Dewpider we're almost there we can win!" Lana yells with encouragement Dewpider pants as it struggles to stand back up Misty speaks.

"Wimpod, I know you can win you've proven you're brave and strong don't quit now!" Misty yells in encouragement as well Wimpod pants but both it and Dewpider don't want to give up, they want to win for their respective trainers both Pokémon then yell.


"WIMP!" "DEW!" Both mons scream as they then start to glow white shocking their trainers and the crowd. Dewpider gets bigger and becomes more spider like once the evolution stops what was once a Dewpider is now a Araquanid and lets out a mighty roar. As for Wimpod it gets bigger as well it grows legs, stands up right, has very big arms with sharp claws, it's now wearing what looks like armor all over its body and looks like a samurai. Once the evolution stops what was once a small and scared Wimpod is now a strong and brave Golisopod the Pokémon roars as well both Misty and Lana look at their Pokémon in surprise while the crowd looks on in awe. In the stands the group are surprised too Ash, Leaf and Ritchie pull out their Pokedex's to scan the 2-mons.

"Araquanid a Water/bug type. It launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal." The Pokedex says (Before anyone asks yes Ash does know what an Araquanid is after battling Hunter D's henchmen he just didn't have time to scan it with his Pokedex).

"Golisopod, the Hard Scale Pokémon. A Bug and Water type. The shell on its body is as hard as a diamond. Its most powerful weapons are its claws, which it can extend and retract at will." The Pokedex says everyone looks at the 2-mons in awe as Lana speaks.

"I'm so happy you've evolved Araquanid!" Lana says happily as the big spider looks at its trainer and smiles and her. Meanwhile Misty looks at Golisopod and speaks.

"Wimp or I guess I should say Golisopod are you still you?" Misty asks in a scared tone as Golisopod looks at Misty the girl is scared but doesn't back away as she continues to stare at the Pokémon waiting for its answer as Golisopod smiles and nods confirming that it's still the same making Misty smile.

"Alright Golisopod lets win this battle show off your new power!" Misty calls as Golisopod roars it immediately disappears before reappearing in front of Araquanid and hits water spider in the face with its left claws causing the big spider to slide back a few feet as Lana speaks.

"It learned First Impression?!" Lana says making Misty confused. Back in the stands Ash speaks.

"What's first Impression?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.

"Like Quick Attack, Aqua jet and other priority moves First Impression allows the user to get the first hit in but unlike other priority moves it can only be used once" Brock says as Ash and everyone else nod in understanding. Back on the battlefield Misty speaks.

"That's great Golisopod!" Misty says happily (Lana told Misty about first impression) as Lana speaks.

"That may be great for you Misty but we're not going down yet, Araquanid use Spider Web!" Lana calls Araquanid nods as it quickly fires a large amount of slick that covers Golisopod Misty speaks.

"Golisopod!" Misty yells in worry but the Pokémon immediately breaks out of the webbing and is holding what looks like a water sword in its right-hand surprising Lana as she speaks.

"Is that its own version of Liquidation?!" Lana questions as Misty calls for her next attack.

"That's great Golisopod use Liquidation!" Misty calls Golisopod charges forward and summons another water sword from its left hand. Lana quickly calls for a command.

"Araquanid counter with your Liquidation!" Lana calls Araqaunid roars and covers all of its legs in water as it charges at the incoming Golisopod. The two Pokémon collide and begin to clash with each other back and forth. Araquanid tries to attack Golisopod's exposed underbelly, but it can't because of Golisopod's water blades and its armor. Golisopod is also getting more hits in, they keep clashing until Golisopod jumps high in the air and Misty calls for a command.

"Now finish with Liquidation!" Misty yells Golisopod takes the two blades and combines them into one big sword it then falls ready to cut Araquanid as Lana speaks.

"Hydro Pump!" Lana calls as the large spider fires the large stream of water at Golisopod but Golisopod easily slashes the move and is still heading towards Araquanid as Lana speaks.

"You use Liquidation too!" Lana calls as Araquanid puts a lot of water covering its legs as it's ready to counter Golisopod Misty yells.

"GOOOOOOOO!" Misty yells as Golisopod slashes the spider with Araquanid trying to counter but it wasn't fast enough. Golisopod appears behind Araquanid bending down on one knee still holding its sword. Everyone looks on in silence and wonders who won. They continue to stare at the two Pokémon until Golisopod stands up its sword disappears and Araquanid falls down unconscious. The ref then makes the call.

"Araquanid is unable to battle Golisopod is the winner!" The ref calls as the once silenced crowd begins to cheer loudly Leaf then speaks.

"That was a great battle you two!" Leaf along with Iris yell as Kiawe speaks.

"OHHHHHH! I'M MOVED TO TEARS AT HOW AMAZING THAT BATTLE WAS!" Kiawe says with tears comedically flowing from his eyes as Ash speaks.

"Misty, Lana great battle!" "Pika!" "Rai!" Ash, Pikachu, and Raichu cheer alongside everyone else. Back at the commentators table Violet speaks.

"YEAH! THAT'S MY BABY SISTER!" Violet cheers happily as the other commentators look at her and smile. Meanwhile with the disguised rockets Justin speaks.

"Guess will have to watch out for that girl tool" Justin (Archer) Thinks to himself. Back on the battlefield Lana recovers from her shock and smiles. She walks over to Araquanid and pets it on the head as the spider looks at her telling Lana sorry as Lana speaks.

"Don't worry Araquanid we may have lost today but this lost will only make us stronger let's keep training and next time we'll beat Misty" Lana says with a smile as the Spider nods happily, meanwhile Golisopod walks over to Misty and is now looking at its trainer as Misty speaks.

"Did we win Golisopod?" Misty asks with the Pokémon smiling as Misty gets a big grin on her face.

"YAY! WE WON!" "GOLI!" Misty and Golisopod cheer happily as the crowd claps for them. Misty then pets Golisopod on the head congratulating it she then sees Lana and Araquanid walk over to them. When they get close enough Lana looks at Misty and speaks.

"That was an amazing battle Misty I wasn't interested in battling that much before but after today me and my Pokémon are going to train hard every day and when we have our rematch we'll win" Lana says with determination in her eyes with Araquanid nodding in conformation as Misty and Golisopod smile.

"I'm excited for when that day comes, and we won't lose either" Misty responds with a smile as she and Lana shake hands the crowd claps again the commentators begin to comment on Misty and Lana's battle.

"You both showed amazing power and skill well done" Surge says with a smile as Violet speaks.

"AMAZING BATTLE I LOVED IT! I'm so happy I recorded it" Violet says happily as she runs from the commentators table and goes to give Misty a hug annoying Misty, but the red head smiles Lana gives a small chuckle as Gary speaks.

"You two did a great job showing off your water types well" Gary says while smiling making the 2 girls happy as Goodshow speaks.

"Indeed, today you young lady's proved just how strong water type Pokémon can be in battle and you're both amazing water type trainers" Goodshow says while smiling the two girls nod, they then begin to head back to their seats and Misty had to forcibly get out of Violet's hug as she just wouldn't let go. Once they make it to their seats the group tell them how great their battle was with Misty and Lana, saying thank you Alex then speaks.

"Now will Leaf and Whitney please come to the battlefield!" Alex calls as Leaf and Whitney walk down to the battlefield and go to their sides the ref speaks.


"This will be a 3v3 Pokémon battle please send out your first Pokémon!" The ref says as both trainers bring out their Pokémon.

"Go Jigglypuff!" Leaf calls as the pink spherical Pokémon appears while holding what looks like microphone.

"Go Girafarig!" Whitney calls as a Giraffe like Pokémon appears ready for battle Leaf, Ash, and Ritchie scan it with their Pokedex's.

"Girafarig, the Long Neck Pokémon. Girafarig has a second head on its tail that bites those who approach it carelessly." The Pokedex says as the ref speaks.

"Let the battle begin!" the ref calls as the two trainers call for their first moves.

"Use Mega Punch!" Leaf calls as Jigglypuff charges forward with a glowing fist Whitney speaks.

"Use Zen Headbutt!" Whitney calls Girafarig covers its head in psychic energy it charges forward and collides with Jigglypuff's fist as the chapter comes to an end.

Thank for reading if you've made it this far. Tell me what you guys think of the battles so far. Are you guys satisfied with how I evolved Iris's Dragonair and Misty's Wimpod? At first, I wasn't planning on evolving Iris's Dragonair but I felt this was the right time to do it. I know some people are going to have a problem with it breaking out of Sheer Cold, but I think I gave a good reason as to why it broke out. I was always planning on having Wimpod evolve in its battle with Lana and now it's one of Misty's strongest Pokémon.

Next chapter will conclude Leaf's battle with Whitney and showcase Ritchie's, Kiawe's and Ash's battles. Chapter 14 should come out soon after this one, so you guys won't have to wait too long.

Next time chapter 14: SS. Anne Tournament Round 3 Part 2

See you all next time!
