The chapter begins where the last one ended with Ash and Ritchie sending out their next Pokemon.
"I Choose You!" Both boys say as they bring out Bulbasaur and Gem both Pokemon stare at each other with Bulbasaur having a serious expression and Gem smiling
"Let the battle continue!" The ref calls as Ash makes the first move
"Use Razor Leaf!" "Use Fake Out!" Both trainers call before Bulbasaur could fire the sharp leaf's Gem instantly appears in front of it clapping its hands making Bulbasaur stop
"Now Mean Look!" Ritchie calls as Gem summons the ghostly energy from its body
"We're not falling for that again Bulbasaur use your vines to jump in the air!" Ash quickly calls Bulbasaur recovers from its shock and quickly slams its vines on the ground jumping high in the air dodging Gem's Mean Look at last second
"Now use Growth then Razor Leaf!" Ash calls Bulbasaur quickly raises its attack/special attack and fires the razor-sharp leaf's at Gem who's smiling
"Use Protect then Disable" Ritchie calls Gem summons a protective barrier stopping the Razor Leaf its eyes glow blue looking at Bulbasaur making the plant dinosaur glow blue as well only briefly as Bulbasaur is now unable to use Razor Leaf as Bulbasaur lands back on the battlefield.
"Fine let's try this Bulbasaur use Vine Whip!" Ash calls Bulbasaur quickly shoots the vines at the still smiling Gem
"Use Shadow Sneak!" Ritchie calls Gem's eyes glow as a shadowy figure appears behind Bulbasaur and hits it making it stop using Vine Whip Gem then quickly runs forward and its now standing over Bulbasaur
"Use Zen Headbutt!" Ritchie calls Gem's head is covered in Psychic energy as before Ash could make a command Gem hits Bulbasaur in the head doing super effective damage and making the plant dinosaur skid back to Ash.
"Let's keep going Gem use Shadow Ball!" Ritchie calls as Gem fires the ball of ghostly energy towards Bulbasaur
"Dodge then use Leech Seed!" Ash calls Bulbasaur dodges the Shadow Ball and fires the small seed at Gem
"Knock it away then use Poison Jab!" Ritchie calls Gem knocks the seed away and charges towards Bulbasaur with its arms covered in poison
"Trip it with Grass Knot!" Ash calls Bulbasaur roars it summons the grass knot tripping Gem doing some damage to it as the poison on its arms go away
"Now Magical Leaf!" Ash calls Bulbasaur quickly fires the magical leaf towards Gem but it's still smiling
"Use Aerial Ace!" Ritchie calls shocking Ash and Bulbasaur as Gem gets up it easily flies thru the Magical Leaf's cutting them and hits Bulbasaur causing super effective damage to the plant dinosaur as it soars thru the air and falls on the battlefield
"Bulbasaur!" Ash calls in worry, but Bulbasaur gets up it can still battle but it's taken a lot of damage as it looks at Gem who's still smiling annoying Bulbasaur
"Man, what can I do? Should I return Bulbasaur no if I do that then Ritchie will switch to gecko and have it use Roar to bring Bulbasaur back in but if I keep Bulbasaur in this battle it'll lose" Ash thinks to himself as Bulbasaur looks back at its trainer
"I'm not sure what you're thinking Ash but we're going to take this win Gem use Zen Headbutt!" Ritchie calls Gem covers its head in psychic energy as it charges at Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur looks back at Ash waiting for a command but doesn't hear anything from Ash, so it takes matters into its own hands.
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur roars as it charges towards Gem
"Bulbasaur, wait I didn't give you a command!" Ash says trying to stop the plant dinosaur, but it ignores Ash as it continues running towards Gem
"Is Bulbasaur disobeying its trainer?!" Alex says as everyone looks on as they see Bulbasaur and Gem about to collide
"What's Bulbasaur thinking?" Ash thinks to himself he sees Bulbasaur glance back at him Ash is surprised but smiles
"Alright Bulbasaur keep going!" Ash calls Bulbasaur nods as it and Gem are inches from each other about to collide
"Go Gem!" Ritchie calls as Gem goes to hit Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur smiles as Ash makes a command
"Dodge Bulbasaur then use Leech Seed!" Ash calls Bulbasaur roars as it dodges Gem at last second shocking Ritchie and Gem as Gem trips, Bulbasaur quickly fires the Leech Seed on Gems back the seed sprouts open and the vines go all around Gems body and begins to suck its energy.
"Sabel" Gem cries out in pain finally losing its smile making Bulbasaur happy
"Great job Bulbasaur now use Sludge Bomb!" Ash calls Bulbasaur fires the ball of Sludge towards Gem
"Quick Gem Dodge!" Ritchie calls but the Gem Pokemon is unable to as its hit by the Sludge bomb causing damage to the Pokemon at this time the disable that was blocking Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf becomes undone as it can use the move again Ash notices and smiles
"Okay Bulbasaur run forward using Growth then use Razor Leaf!" Ash calls Bulbasaur roars as it begins running towards Gem increasing its attack/special attack and fires the Razor Leaf's
"Gem use Protect!" Ritchie calls the Leech Seed sucks out more of Gems energy but it's able to summon the protective barrier blocking the Razor Leaf
"Keep firing Bulbasaur!" Ash calls Bulbasaur continues running forward and is increasing the number of the Razor Leaf's making it difficult for Gem to keep up the protect. Gem is trying its best, but the barrier begins to crack Bulbasaur notices and continues firing the razor-sharp leaf's until they eventually destroy the protect and the leaf's hit Gem causing major damage to the Gem Pokemon as it flies thru the air.
"Gem use Poison Jab!" "Bulbasaur use Seed Bomb!" Both trainers call Gem covers its arms in poison as it falls towards Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur isn't scared as it fires a large seed from its bulb that hits Gem in the stomach sending it back in the air causing an explosion everyone then sees Gem fall back on the battlefield it suffers from Leech Seed again and is knocked out.
"Gem is unable to battle Bulbasaur is the winner!" The ref calls as Ash and Bulbasaur give a loud cheer with the crowd roaring in excitement
"You were amazing Bulbasaur thank you for taking the initiative when I was lost in thought" Ash says as he pets the plant dinosaur with Bulbasaur nodding and smiling Ritchie then returns Gem
"Thanks Gem you fought hard take a good rest" Ritchie says returning the Gem Pokemon
"Yeah, go Ash!" The girls of the group cheer loudly with Giselle waving her flag with Brock and the other boys smiling.
"It looks like Ash is starting to gain momentum" Brock says with Cilan agreeing
Meanwhile at Oaks lab Ash's Pokemon cheer happy that Bulbasaur won with Warturtle cheering loud happy that Bulbasaur was able to take out one of Ritchie's Pokemon
Back on the battlefield Ritchie speaks
"Not bad Ash you managed to take out Gem but the battle's only going to get harder from here Gecko I choose you!" Ritchie calls bringing out the wood Gecko it gets in a battle-ready stance as Ash and Bulbasaur look at it.
"Can you still battle Bulbasaur?" Ash asks with the plant dinosaur nodding as it heads back to the battlefield ready to battle it and Gecko stare at each other.

"Let's keep going Clefable run forward and use Psyshock!" Ash calls Clefable quickly dashes forward and fires psychic orbs towards Jelly
"Destroy all of them with Brutal Swing!" Ritchie calls Jelly covers its tentacles and starts destroying all the psychic orbs, but this is what Ash wanted

"Are you okay Gecko?!" Ritchie calls Gecko struggles to get up, but it nods Ritchie then looks at Ash
"Not bad Ash looks like you trained Clefable to be able to take steel type moves" Ritchie says as Ash nods
"Yeah, it's not perfected yet, but we'll keep training until Clefable can take not only steel type moves but poison type moves as well" Ash responds with Clefable nodding Ritchie then calls for his next command
"Gecko use Dig then Leaf Storm!" Ritchie calls Gecko roars as it dives underground
"After it Clefable use Dig then Blizzard!" Ash calls Clefable quickly digs underground going after Gecko. A few seconds go by, and everyone hear something from underneath the battlefield they then see the Leaf Storm and Blizzard appear from the ground with Gecko and Clefable appearing both taken damage but charge at each other.
"Use Leaf Blade!" "Use Fire Punch!" Ritchie and Ash call as Clefable and Gecko begin to clash with each other in the air landing multiple blows on each other Gecko is able to land more hits on Clefable but Clefable keeps going and begins to match Gecko surprising the wood gecko and its trainer. Neither Pokemon wants to lose they hit each other one more time and land back on the battlefield panting both Ash and Ritchie know Clefable and Gecko can't go on anymore they then call for their last commands.
"Gecko fire your strongest Leaf Storm!" Ritchie calls Gecko roars as it summons a large tornado of leaf's and fires it towards Clefable consuming the pixie Pokemon but it holds its ground
"Clefable use Fire Blast!" Ash calls Clefable while in the Leaf Storm takes a deep breath as it fires a big blast of fire that easily burns through the Leaf Storm and heads towards Gecko
"Use Detect!" Ritchie calls Gecko's eye glows as it jumps in the air narrowly dodging the Fire Blast as its now in the air it sees Clefable above it smiling as its holding a big Moon Blast shocking Ritchie and Gecko.
"Oh no!" Ritchie says, "Do it Clefable!" Ash calls
"CLEF!" Clefable yells as it throws the large Moon Blast down on Gecko causing it to crash on the ground creating an explosion and a dust cloud. As the dust is clearing everyone can see Clefable it stumbles but is able to catch itself they then see Gecko on the ground knocked out.

We then cut back to the battlefield with Ash, Pikachu and Raichu congratulating Clefable as Ritchie returns Gecko.
"Thanks Gecko you battled really hard we'll keep training" Ritchie says as he takes out his next Pokeball
"Gobi, I choose you!" Ritchie calls sending the goggled dragon back in it gives a mighty roar but is still injured from its battle with Gyarados.
"Let's keep going Clefable" Ash says with Clefable nodding as it walks back on the battlefield
"I wonder why Ritchie sent Gobi in? Not only does Clefable have fairy type moves but also ice type moves which are super effective towards a dragon/ground type like Gobi" Cilan says
"He must have a counter to deal with those type weaknesses" Kiawe says with everyone nodding
"Let the battle continue!" The ref calls Ash makes the first move
"Quick heal yourself with Moon Light!" Ash calls Clefable summons a moon above and begins to heal
"In that case Gobi use Sandstorm!" Ritchie calls Gobi roars creating a large sandstorm that hides the goggled dragon as Clefable is done healing
"Clefable get rid of the Sandstorm with Rain Dance!" Ash calls Clefable roars towards the sky as rain starts to fall getting rid of the sand. As the battlefield becomes clearer and the rain dance disappearing everyone can see Ash, Clefable and Ritchie but Gobi is gone. Ash sees a big hole that was dug up and thinks that Gobi is underground.
"It must be underground Clefable use Dig to go after Gobi!" Ash calls with Clefable nodding as it quickly digs a hole going after the dragon as Ritchie smiles
"Sorry to tell you this Ash but Clefable won't find Gobi under there" Ritchie says confusing Ash as Ash, and everyone hear Clefable scream
"What's wrong Clefable?!" Ash calls as everyone sees Clefable burst out from underground soaring thru the air shocking everyone as Ritchie makes his command
"Jelly use Sludge Wave!" Ritchie calls "Jelly?!" Ash says in shock as everyone then sees Jelly appear out of the hole firing the wave of poison at Clefable the pixie Pokemon screams out in pain as it crashes down hard on the battlefield.
"Clefable!" Ash calls but the pixie Pokemon doesn't move as it continues to lay down knocked out
"Clefable is unable to battle Jelly is the winner!" The ref calls as Jelly and Ritchie cheer with Ash and everyone in shock.
"Wait where did Jelly come from?" Misty asks with everyone wondering as well Ash then returns Clefable
"Thanks, Clefable you did great get a good rest" Ash says as he looks over towards Ritchie and speaks.
"When did you change Gobi for Jelly?" Ash asks as Ritchie looks at him
"When I called for Sandstorm after Gobi hid away in the sand I had it use rest then once you called for Rain Dance, I quickly switched out for Jelly. Ritchie responds
"Okay but where did that hole come from, I thought Tentacruel aren't able to learn dig?" Ash asks
"Oh yes your right Jelly didn't use dig she use Dive instead" Ritchie says
"Dive?" Ash questions
"Yes, Dive like dig is a move which allows a Pokemon to hide deep under water once you used Rain Dance, I had Jelly use Dive digging a hole and had her wait to strike it's a similar tactic your dad used in his old battles" Ritchie responds shocking everyone
"Man, the way Ritchie battles are way above that of a trainer with 5 badges it feels like I'm battling someone of an elite level and now he's using strategies from my dad this battle is going to get tougher" Ash says to himself
In the Galar region inside Leon's house
"This Ritchie kid must've studied you a lot master" Leon says looking at Red who nods
"Hey Mr. Ketchum, can your son really win" Hop asks as Red thinks
"Hmmm yes I still believe he can win battling a strong trainer like Ritchie is great for Ash the battle from here is going to be difficult, but I know my son can win" Red responds with Leon and Hop nodding as they continue watching the TV.
In the Sinnoh region with Cynthia and Platinum, Platinum's a little annoyed at seeing Ritchie use one of Red's strategies
"How could he just use one of Master Reds strategies he didn't even do it the right way" Platinum says in anger with Cynthia trying to calm her down
"I forgot how much of a Red fangirl Platinum is" Cynthia says to herself
Back to the battlefield Ash is currently thinking on what he can do next as Raichu tugs on his shirt Ash looks at the floating mouse
"Are you saying you want to battle Raichu?" Ash asks with Raichu sparking her cheeks as Ash smiles
"Okay then Raichu I choose you!" Ash calls Raichu floats on the battlefield sparking her cheeks ready to battle
"Ash has sent in his Alolan Raichu what with Ritchie do now?!" Alex says as Ritchie looks to Jelly
"Looks like Gobi still needs more time can you still battle?" Ritchie asks with Jelly nodding as the large squid goes back to the battlefield Jelly and Raichu stare at each other.
"Let the battle continue!" The ref calls as Ritchie makes the first move
"Jelly use Screech!" Ritchie calls as Jelly is about to scream Ash makes a command "Raichu use Fake Out!" Ash calls surprising Ritchie as Raichu appears in front of Jelly clapping her hands in front of the squid's face making it flinch
"Now Thunder Bolt!" Ash calls Raichu quickly fires the electric bolt shocking Jelly making it cry in pain
"Jelly Brutal Swing!" Ritchie calls Jelly breaks out of the Thunder Bolt and begins to spin with its tentacles being covered in dark energy
"Dodge Raichu!" "Catch it Jelly!" Ritchie calls as Jelly extends its tentacles to grab Raichu but the floating mouse is able to easily dodge
"That's right keep dodging Raichu and when you see a chance use Thunder Bolt!" Ash calls as Raichu is able to successfully dodge all the tentacles it sees an opening and fires a Thunder Bolt towards Jelly
"Use Substitute!" Ritchie calls confusing Ash as Jelly leaves a clone of itself that takes the Thunder Bolt it then appears behind Raichu
"What's Substitute?" Mallow asks
"It's a move which allows the user to leave a clone of itself to take the upcoming attack, but it has a drawback as it weakens the health of the one who used it" Brock responds
"Now grab it!" Ritchie calls before Ash could say anything Jelly grabs Raichu and is squeezing it
"Break free with Psychic!" Ash calls as Raichu starts to build up Psychic energy
"Let go of Raichu then use Knock Off!" Ritchie calls Jelly quickly let's go of Raichu before it could use Psychic Jelly covers one of its tentacles in dark energy and hits Raichu making it crash down hard on the battlefield Raichu groans from the Super effective attack.
"End it with Poison Jab!" Ritchie calls Jelly covers its tentacles with poison as it extends them towards Raichu
"Dodge with Dig!" Ash calls shocking Ritchie Raichu quickly digs a hole dodging the poison jab it then appears behind Jelly
"Quick use Brutal Swing!" Ritchie calls Jelly begins to spin fast as Ash smiles
"Use Double team then Discharge!" Ash calls Raichu summons multiple copies of itself surrounding Jelly before Ritchie can make a command Raichu and its copies scream sending out a large wave of electricity shocking Jelly.
"Jelly!" Ritchie yells in worry as the big squid cries out in pain once the discharge stop shocking it Jelly falls on the battlefield knocked out.
"Tentacruel is unable to battle Raichu is the winner!" The ref calls as Ash and Raichu cheer with the crowd cheering and Ritchie returning Jelly.
"Yeah, go Ash!" Misty and the rest of the girl's cheer
"Just three more and Ash can actually win" Sophocles says with Joe nodding

"It's okay Raichu use Nasty Plot then Focus Blast while Gobi is still asleep!" Ash calls Raichu quickly increases it Special attack and begins to charge the blast of fighting energy while Ritchie remains calm.
"Ritchie doesn't seem worried" Lana says
"He definitely has something planned" Misty responds as they stare back at the battle and Raichu is done charging the focus blast
"Fire!" Ash calls Raichu yells as it fires the ball of fighting energy towards the sleeping dragon but unbeknownst to Ash and Raichu Gobi opens its eyes.
"Use Protect then U Turn!" Ritchie calls as Gobi roars shocking everyone that Gobi's awake it quickly summons a protective barrier stopping the Focus Blast it then becomes a ball of bug energy as it quickly flies towards Raichu hitting the mouse causing super effective damage making the Dragon go back in its Pokeball as Sparky begins to run on the battlefield heading towards Raichu.
"Raichu quick use Psychic!" Ash calls Raichu quickly fires the psychic energy towards Sparky
"Dodge with Double team then use Quick Attack!" Ritchie calls Sparky summons the clones as it begins to run faster at it hits Raichu in the stomach making the mouse cough in pain.
"Now Iron Tail!" "Quick use Thunder Punch!" Both trainers call Raichu is able to punch Sparky with Thunder Punch, but it did little effect to it as Sparky's tail glows in steel energy as it hits Raichu on the head with Iron tail sending it crashing down towards the battlefield.
"Raichu!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu call as the dust clears everyone sees Sparky standing over a knocked out Raichu
"Raichu is unable to battle Sparky is the winner!" The ref calls as Ritchie and Sparky cheer as Ash and Pikachu run to the battlefield towards Raichu
"Raichu lost" Lana says in a sad tone
"Even though it lost it still gave it it's all" Misty responds
"But now Ash has two Pokemon while Ritchie still has 3 and they're strong" Kiawe says
"Doesn't matter Ashy Kins is going to win!" "Yeah!" Giselle, Leaf and Iris say as they see Ash pick up Raichu and walk back to his side of the battlefield

"You, Clefable, Bulbasaur and Gyarados have all fought hard helping us reach this point so make sure you cheer for Pikachu and Charmeleon because we're still going to win" "Pika" Ash says having a determined look on his face with Pikachu agreeing Raichu nods as it wipes away its tears and smiles. Ash and Pikachu smile at Raichu they turn back to the battlefield and see Ritchie return Sparky and bringing Gobi back in the goggled dragon gives a mighty roar as Ash takes out Charmeleon's Pokeball.
"Alright Charmeleon I choose you!" Ash says bringing out the fire lizard Charmeleon gives a mighty roar excited to battle it looks at its opponent and starts roaring at it as it wants to get revenge for Gyarados, Gobi also roars back at Charmeleon not intimidated by the fire lizard.
We cut to the Galar region with Leon and Red
"So that's Ash's Charmeleon it looks strong" Red says with Leon nodding
Next, we go to the Silph Co. in Giovanni's office we see Damian getting mad once he sees Charmeleon
"I hope it loses" Damian says in anger as Giovanni, Proton and Matori continue to watch, and we go back to the battlefield.

"Gobi quick Block with Stone Edge!" Ritchie calls Gobi roars as it stomps its foot down summoning the large sharp rocks in front of it blocking the Flamethrower as its blocking the fire Gobi notices the stones starting to melt.
"It must be due to the sunlight increasing the flamethrower's power" Ritchie thinks to himself as he calls for his next move

"I can feel the fire burning from both of them I feel we're going to witness a very fiery battle" Kiawe says as he and everyone else's eyes are glued to the battlefield.
"This is it Charmeleon let's give it everything we've got!" Ash says with Charmeleon shooting a Flamethrower in the air agreeing
"Let's give it everything we have as well Zippo!" Ritchie says as Zippo roars in agreement as it and Charmeleon stare at each other.
"Let the battle continue!" The ref calls as both boys call for their attacks
"Use Flamethrower!" Ash and Ritchie call as both fire lizards fire the giant stream of fire the two moves collide creating an explosion as both Charmeleon and Zippo charge at each other
"Use Fire Punch!" Ash and Ritchie call as Charmeleon and Zippo heat up their fist and punch each other in the face making them both skid back.
"Use Ancient Power!" Ritchie calls Zippo roars as it summons rocks covered in purple energy and shoots them towards Charmeleon
"Destroy them all with Metal Claw!" Ash calls as Charmeleon covers its claws in steel energy and begins to destroy the rocks as all of Zippo's stats increase and begins to charge forward.
"Use Dragon Claw!" "Counter with Flamethrower!" Both trainers call Charmeleon destroys the last Ancient Power and fires a Flamethrower at Zippo, but Zippo is able to block the move with one of its arms as it hits Charmeleon across the face with Dragon Claw
"Use Fire Fang!" Ash calls Charmeleon heats up its mouth as it bites down hard on Zippo's arm creating an explosion as the two fire types skid back but then charge at each other again
"Use Fire Punch!" Ash calls as Charmeleon heats up both its fist
"Dodge then use Brick Break!" Ritchie calls Zippo is able to dodge Charmeleon's punches as it chops Charmeleon in the stomach sending it soaring thru the air
"Now Fire Blast!" Ritchie calls Zippo quickly fires the blast of fire towards Charmeleon
"Dodge Charmeleon then use Dig!" Ash calls Charmeleon dodges the Fire Blast at last second as it heads towards the battlefield digging into it, but it doesn't stay under for long as it appears from the hole and punches Zippo doing damage to It but Zippo and Charmeleon look at each other having fire in their mouths.
"Use Flamethrower!" Ash and Ritchie call as Charmeleon and Zippo fire the Flamethrower close to each other creating an explosion as both fire lizards skid back they look at each other smiling with Ash and Ritchie smiling as well.
"Looks like they're really enjoying the battle" Misty says with everyone nodding
"Let's go Zippo run forward and use Ancient Power!" Ritchie calls Zippo roars it begins running forward with the ancient power surrounding it and it starts shooting the rocks at Charmeleon Zippo's stats also increase as well.
"Charmeleon dodge then use Smoke Screen!" Ash calls Charmeleon is able to dodge most of the rocks it gets hit by a couple of them as Zippo gets closer it fires the black smoke in Zippo's face making it cough Charmeleon then starts walking back as the battlefield is covered in smoke.
"What are you planning now Ash?" Ritchie thinks to himself as Ash smiles
"Zippo listen for Charmeleon's footsteps!" Ritchie calls as Zippo nods as it closes its eyes and begins to concentrate
"Use Flamethrower!" Ash calls as a move heads towards Zippo
"Block it!" Ritchie calls as Zippo is able to block the fire and begins to head towards the direction of the flamethrower
"Use Flamethrower!" Ash calls as another stream of fire goes towards Zippo and hits it from behind making it fall as it begins to head in that direction but then gets hit with another Flamethrower in another direction this keeps happening.
"What's going on? I can't see anything" Mallow says
"I'm not sure but Ashy Kins is winning!" Giselle says happily
"Yes, whatever Ash is having Charmeleon do in the smoke screen seems to be working" Brock says as they hear Zippo get hit with one more Flamethrower, but the fire lizard brushes it off as it gets back up.
"I'm not sure what's going on in there, but I need to get rid of this smoke screen Zippo jump in the air and use Fire Blast!" Ritchie calls Zippo jumps high in the air dodging a Flamethrower that was going to hit it once it's above the smoke it launches a big fire blast on the battlefield creating an explosion getting rid of the smoke screen as the dust is clearing everyone sees Ash's Charmeleon and a bunch of holes around it shocking everyone.
"I see so you used the smoke screen to hide Charmeleon then had it dig holes around the battlefield so it could hit Zippo in multiple directions" Ritchie says as Ash nods
"Yep, you're right it was going well too but Zippo is really tough it held strong against those Flamethrowers" Ash says with Charmeleon nodding as Zippo lands on the battlefield.
"So, you have any more tricks?" Ritchie asks
"Nope from here on out its going to be a battle of power let's see whose Charmeleon is stronger!" Ash states with Charmeleon roaring
"Sounds good to me Ash let's go Zippo!" Ritchie says with Zippo roaring as it and Charmeleon begin to walk around in a circle not taking their eyes off each other as they wait for their trainers' commands
"Looks like they're done with the warmup" Kiawe says "That was a warmup?" Sophocles, Joe and Giselle say in shock everyone in the crowd and on TV are closely watching the battle waiting for Ash and Ritchie to make their commands.
A few moments pass as Ash makes the first move
"Use Sunny Day then Flamethrower!" Ash calls Charmeleon roars as it summons the harsh Sunlight and fires the Flamethrower its bigger than last time it heads for Zippo.
"Destroy it with Fire Punch!" Ritchie calls Zippo roars it heats up its fist and punches the Flamethrower the move pushes it back a little bit, but Zippo successfully destroys the move surprising everyone their shock doesn't last for long as Charmeleon is now in front of Zippo
"Use Dragon Claw!" "Counter with your Dragon Claw!" Ash and Ritchie call Charmeleon and Zippo clash causing an explosion making them skid back but they then charge at each other still using dragon claw and begin to clash over and over again landing some hits on the other.
"Zippo Fire Punch!" Ritchie calls Zippo and Charmeleon clash with their claws again Zippo quickly heats up its fist as it punches Charmeleon across the face but that doesn't stop Charmeleon as it forms a fist
"Charmeleon counter with your Fire Punch!" Ash calls Charmeleon roars as it hits Zippo across the face with fire punch hurting Zippo, but it smiles with Charmeleon doing the same
"Keep using Fire Punch!" Ash and Ritchie call Charmeleon and Zippo roar at each other they heat up both their fist and begin to punch each other repeatedly with each hit doing more than the last they punch each other one more time as they skid back but Charmeleon stops itself as it charges at Zippo.
"Use Seismic Toss!" Ash calls before Ritchie could make a command Charmeleon grabs Zippo jumps in the air and begins to spin very fast.
"Now let it go!" Ash calls Charmeleon roars as it throws Zippo as hard as it can towards the battlefield Zippo crashes hard on the battlefield shaking it and creating a crater. Charmeleon lands on the battlefield and starts running in the crater as it knows that wasn't enough to take out Zippo and it was right as it sees Zippo standing up but a bit wobblily.
"Use Dragon Claw!" Ash calls Charmeleon roars as it jumps forward and hits Zippo in the face with Dragon Claw.
"Grab it Zippo then use Counter!" Ritchie calls "Charmeleon get out of there!" Ash calls before Charmeleon could leave Zippo grabs on holds on to Charmeleon's arm tightly not letting go as its body glows orange then the orange energy goes into its fist it looks at Charmeleon and smiles.
"Charmeleon quick use Flamethrower!" "Push through Zippo!" Ash and Ritchie call Charmeleon lets out a powerful flamethrower consuming Zippo, but the fire lizard is still holding onto Charmeleon's arm tightly as it goes to punch it.
"Do It!" Ritchie calls Zippo roars as it breaks through Charmeleon's Flamethrower and punches Charmeleon in the stomach sending the fire lizard flying out of the crater and crash hard on the battlefield it rolls for a little bit but stops as it lays on its stomach. Zippo then jumps out of the crater it smiles but then goes on its knee it looks at Charmeleon with Charmeleon looking back at it both fire types pant as their bodies begin to heat up.
"Charmeleon?" "Zippo?" Ash and Ritchie say as both fire lizards begin to roar
"CHARRRRRRRRR!" Both Charmeleon and Zippo yell sending out a shockwave throughout the battlefield as the flame on their tails begin to grow bigger and their bodies burning a bright crimson shocking Ash and Ritchie as both fire lizards continue to roar at each other.
"It's blaze!" Leaf says in shock
"Yes, there bodies have reached their limits and letting out all the power they have" Brock says
"I've never seen a blaze like this both of them really want to win this battle for their trainers and this will decide who the stronger fire type is" Kiawe says with everyone nodding as they look back at the battlefield
"From the look of it Charmeleon won't last much longer, and the Sunny Day is going to go away soon I need to end this fast" Ash thinks to himself with Ritchie having the same thoughts as they both call for their next attacks
"Charmeleon fire your strongest Overheat!" "Zippo fire your strongest Fire Blast!" both trainers call Charmeleon and Zippo roar as they begin charging up their moves and heating up the room everyone is in as they all begin to sweat
"FIRE!" Ash and Ritchie call Charmeleon and Zippo shoot out the Overheat and Fire Blast respectively the two moves collide they fight for dominance for a little bit until they explode but this doesn't stop Charmeleon and Zippo who are running towards each other and heating up their fist.
"FIRE PUNCH!" Ash and Ritchie call as both fist of Charmeleon and Zippo heat up they both meet in the middle of the battlefield and go to land one last punch on each other.
"GOOOOOOOOOOO!" "CHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Ash, Ritchie, Charmeleon and Zippo yell as both fire lizards hit each other in the face creating a big explosion that destroys more of the battlefield and creating a massive wind that effects some people in the stands, the commentators and almost push Ash and Ritchie away it then creates a dust cloud the Sunny Day goes away.
As the dust is clearing everyone waits to see who still standing to their surprise both Charmeleon and Zippo are standing still having their fist on the others face but their fist drop as they both begin to fall down.

"After it Pikachu use Quick Attack!" Ash calls as Pikachu goes after Sparky and catches up to it surprising everyone
"How's Pikachu able to catch up to Sparky?" Joe asks

"Whatever come on its time to begin the plan" Justin (Archer) responds as Larry nods as they and the other disguised rockets leave the battlefield, Looker notices and goes to follow them while Jessie, James and Meowth notice him leave they quickly wipe their tears and go follow him

"Charizard, I Choose You!" Red says as his Charizard gives a mighty roar and flies on the battlefield shaking it. Red and Leon look at each other for a few moments once they feel a gust of wind, they call for their first move.
"Use Flamethrower!" Red and Leon call as both of their Charizards roar and fire the big stream of flames at each other once the moves collide, they create an explosion.
We now cut away from Red and Leon's battle and come back to Ash as he alongside his Pikachu, Gyarados, Clefable, Bulbasaur, Charmeleon and Alolan Raichu are all on stage currently being handed a trophy. In the past 20 minutes Ash called Prof. Oak once he did Oak, Daisy, Rose, Delia and his Pokemon congratulated him on the victory Ash along with Ritchie sent their Pokemon to the Pokemon Center to be healed. Red also called Ash congratulating him as well and hopes Ash continues to enjoy his journey making Ash happy.

"Oh, and here's the egg you won as well" Goodshow says as an Officer Jenny goes and hands Ash the egg with Ash holding it Ash smiles looking at it
"I believe that egg is the right fit for you while watching your battles I could tell it was excited every time you won" Goodshow says
"Whoa really?!" Ash says as he looks at the egg its faint, but it could feel it nodding to what Goodshow is saying making Ash happy
"You know ever since the first day of the tournament I've had a feeling the Pokemon inside has been watching me tell me do you know what kind of Pokemon's inside?!" Ash asks
"Hmmmm will I do but I think it's better if we leave it as a surprise for now" Goodshow responds Ash is disappointed but nods he then goes to show the egg to his Pokemon
"Look guys we've a new teammate" Ash says as his Pokemon look at it curiously they can feel whatever's inside is going to be a strong Pokemon one day they all smile and roar happy to have a new team member making Ash happy.
"Looks like Ash got a new Pokemon" Misty says

"Man, I can't wait to see Ash try to take care of a baby it's going to be hilarious" Leaf says
"Oh, I just know Ashy Kins will be a great father to that Pokemon when it hatches" Giselle says with the group nodding.
"Hello Ash, it's me Viola would you mind if I take a picture of you and your Pokemon?" Viola asks
"Not at all" Ash responds as he and his Pokemon get into a pose as Viola takes the picture and smiles
"It came out great thank you" Viola says with Ash nodding Alexa then comes from behind Viola
"Hello, my names Alexa I'm Viola's sister I'm a reporter in the Kalos region and I just wanted to ask how it feels to win" Alexa asks holding the microphone towards Ash making him nervous Ash takes a deep breath and speaks.
"It feels great to win but I wouldn't have won today if it wasn't for my Pokemon they really gave it their all-in not only today's battle but the tournament as a whole and I'm proud of them" Ash responds smiling as his Pokemon roar happily
"Great answer" Alexa says happily as Ash smiles and the crowd begins to clap and cheer.
Meanwhile somewhere on the SS. Anne Looker was following Larry and Justin but lost them since he's still trying to get the disguised Rocket Trio off his tail.
We now cut to Archer and Petral (no longer wearing their disguises they are in the ship's cargo and they both have an earpiece in their ears)
"Look at how happy he is" Petral says
"Well, he won't be happy for long" Archer responds he then turns on the earpiece in his ear and speaks
"Attention all disguised Team Rocket grunts operation SS. Anne begins now" Archer says with all the disguised rocket grunts in different parts of the ship agreeing as they take off their disguises and begin their attack the only ones who don't here Archer's order is Jessie, James and Meowth.
Back at the award ceremony Alexa is still asking Ash questions everything is going well until they hear a big explosion
"What's going on?!" Goodshow yells
"IT'S TEAM ROCKET!" one of the bystander's yells as a group of rocket grunts appear in the crowd creating chaos in the room
"So, they were on the ship where's Looker?" Goodshow says to himself in anger, then the big screen that was showcasing the battle matchups appears and shows Justin's and Larry's faces
"Hello everyone, did you like our surprise entrance?" Justin asks in a happy tone
"What's the meaning of this!" Goodshow yells
"Well as you can see, we're taking over the ship and my name isn't Justin its Archer and I'm one of the team rocket executives and Larry here is named Petral and is also an executive" Archer says as he and Larry take off their disguises
"Now we only ask one thing of you hand over your Pokemon or be eliminated" Archer says in a serious tone as everyone looks at him in anger.
Once Justin says that we then cut to another part of the ship where we see Butch's released Muk alongside a group of Grimer and Tentacool with it as they begin to climb the ship.
This is where I'm going to end the chapter
This chapter is currently my longest one thank you all for reading it if you've made it to this point. Tell me how did you feel about the battle and were you satisfied with Ash winning? What was your favorite part of the battle and were you surprised that Ritchie's Charmeleon evolved? What do you think are inside the eggs that Professor Sycamore has, and the one Ash has? And how do you guys think they'll deal with Team Rocket now that they've made themselves known?
Chapter 21 will come out next week as seeing as it's the holidays I want to spend some time with my family, and I hope you all do the same.
Next time Chapter 21: Attack on the SS. Anne
See you all later
