Chapter 34 The Pokemon Flying Race
Hello everyone, this chapter will cover Ash and Leaf competing in a flying race. It'll give focus to Ash's flying types and two flying type trainers appear I hope you all enjoy.
The chapter begins a day after the last chapter ended currently both Ash and Leaf are training their flying type Pokemon. Ash currently has Pidgeotto, Noctowl, Hawlucha, Noibat, Corvisquire, Vibrava and Pikachu (Prof. Oak allowed for Ash to keep Pikachu with him but Ash isn't allowed to use Pikachu in battle). Ash was going to use Scyther, Rowlet, Raichu and Haunter too but Scyther wasn't interested as it wanted to continue to train with Ash's other Pokemon in the lab, Haunter can't participate as it alongside Primeape are still helping fix the lab with Hitmonlee watching them, Raichu couldn't participate as Shinx wanted Raichu to keep training it and Rowlet loves sleeping in Delia's house, so Ash decided to let it be. Brock and Misty are spending time with their new Pokemon as well, Misty is currently training her new water types Horsea and Quaxly easily respond well with Misty's training making her happy. Sobble is a little bit hesitant when it comes to battling and every time it gets hurt it cries making everyone else cry, but the little chameleon still wants to get stronger. As for Psyduck and Slowpoke Misty is still having trouble training Psyduck it has been able to strengthen its water moves a little bit, but it still has trouble with its psychic attacks and Slowpoke just responds too slow giving Misty a headache trying to train it. For Brock's Pokemon Klawf, Kangaskhan, Lycanroc and Nacil love helping Brock make food, Klawf, Kangaskhan and Lycanroc are able to find rare ingredients and Nacil puts on the finishing touch by adding some salt. Brock's Croagunk is mainly standoffish mostly keeping to itself, but it helps out with the cooking as well when it's needed like helping Brock and Klawf chop up some food. We now focus in on Ash training his Pokemon currently his flying types are teaching Noibat how to fly better Ash looks at Noibat and speaks.
"That's it Noibat steady yourself!" Ash says with Pikachu agreeing high up in the air we see Pidgeotto, Noctowl, Hawlucha, Vibrava and Corvisquire they're all cheering on Noibat telling it to keep flying. Noibat nods it begins to flap its wings flying towards them as its doing that a sudden gust of wind appears and begins to push Noibat away.
"Noibat!" Ash says worriedly up in the sky Noibat starts flapping its wings frantically trying to fly straight that's when Ash's other Pokemon appear they tell Noibat to spread out its wings. Noibat wants to but it's too scared Hawlucha then gives the bat words of encouragement telling it not to be scared as it won't succeed if it always let's fear control it. Noibat takes those words to heart it then spreads its wings beginning to ride the wind it keeps riding until it's out of it and flies towards Ash's other flying Pokemon.
"Noi, Noi!" Noibat says happily that it is now able to fly better than before thanks to Ash's flying types. The Pokemon nod happy that Noibat is getting better at flying they then continue to fly in the air while Ash and Pikachu look at them smiling Brock then speaks.
"Ash, Misty lunch's ready!" Brock says Ash and Misty nod they call their Pokemon over telling them it's time for lunch they nod and return to their trainers to have some lunch.
10 minutes later everyone enjoyed their meal once Ash's flying Pokemon were done eating they begin to fly in the air again, but this time have aerial battles, Noibat wants to join in, but Ash's Pidgeotto tells Noibat to just watch for now and pay attention to how they battle in the sky. Noibat is a little sad that it can't participate but nods in understanding it then sees Pidgeotto join Noctowl, Hawlucha, Corvisquire and Vibrava in the sky and begin to battle each other, Noibat is in awe and wants to master flying soon so it can join them. When Misty's and Brock's Pokemon finish eating they go to relax except for Misty's Psyduck and Slowpoke as they continue to train the group looks at them as Brock speaks.
"It looks like Psyduck and Slowpoke are really taking their training seriously" Brock says with Misty nodding as she speaks.
"Yeah, they both give me headaches but it makes me happy to see that they're really serious about becoming stronger" Misty responds with Ash and Brock nodding Brock looks to Ash and speaks.
"Your flying types are looking good Ash and it seems like Noibat is improving" Brock says Ash nods and speaks.
"Yeah, soon Noibat is going to master flying and I believe this race will help it" Ash responds Brock nods as Misty speaks.
"Say Ash do you know the rules for the flying race?" Misty asks as Ash doesn't know Brock then speaks.
"Thankfully before Leaf left to train on her own, she told me that the race is a relay race saying that trainers will use the 6 flying Pokemon they have and reach points where they give a wristband to their respective teammate to continue the race" Brock says Ash and Misty nod as Brock continues to speak.
"It seems like you'll have to be careful with your selection Ash as there are some areas in the race that have strong winds" Brock says with Ash nodding as Misty speaks.
"So, do you know how you'll order them?" Misty asks Ash thinks for a little bit then speaks.
"Yeah, I'll have Pidgeotto and Corvisquire go first as they're both fast and should give me an early lead. Next, it'll be Noctowl it may not be as fast, but it should be able to easily maneuver any obstacles. After Noctowl will be Vibrava since it should be able to quickly make it to the next area where it'll meet up with Hawlucha. Hawlucha should be able to easily glide thru the sky and make it to Noibat who'll bring it home" Ash says with Misty and Brock nodding as Misty speaks.
"Are you sure it's a good idea for Noibat to go last?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.
"Yes, the final stretch of the race should be easy for Noibat to fly thru I'm confident it can win" Ash responds as Noibat looks to Ash having a determined look on its face, Ash walks to the bat he picks it up and speaks.
"Noibat I know it's difficult for you to fly and you being the one to fly last puts a lot of pressure on you but I'm confident that you can do it" Ash says when he does his other flying Pokemon fly down and agree with him Noibat looks at them smiles and speaks.
"Noi!" Noibat tells Ash that it'll do its best Ash smiles as Brock speaks.
"Come on we should pack up and go to the area where Leaf told us to go and meet up with her" Brock says he returns his Pokemon, Misty returns her Pokemon too but Sobble and Quaxly stay out of their Pokeball's and go on Misty's shoulders. Ash returns his Pokemon except for Pikachu the group begin to run in the direction of the area hiding in the bushes are Team Rocket they're watching the group run away as Jessie speaks.
"A Flying race? There should be some powerful flying types for us to steal" Jessie says with James and Meowth nodding as James speaks.
"Too bad we can't do anything as our orders are to watch the Twerp we already got scolded by the boss when we told him yesterday that we didn't know what kind of Pokemon the boy caught" James says with Jessie and Meowth nodding as Meowth speaks.
"Come on they're getting away" Meowth says as they go to follow the gang Wynaut comes out of its Pokeball and speaks.
"Wynaut" The happy Pokemon says making the trio quickly turn around and cover its mouth Pikachu's ear's perk up it looks behind as Ash speaks.
"Is something wrong Pikachu?" Ash asks Pikachu gives a "Pikachu" saying it heard something in the bushes the gang look at where Pikachu is pointing as Misty speaks.
"It was probably a Caterpie come on we need to hurry so you can register" Misty says Ash nods as they continue to run back in the bushes the trio are covering Wynaut's mouth and give a sigh of relief once the kids are gone Jessie looks at the Wynaut and speaks.
"Listen Wynaut you can't just randomly appear out of your Pokeball stay inside and I'll call you out when I need to" Jessie says with Wynaut nodding it then goes back in its Pokeball once it does the trio continue to secretly follow the gang.
10 minutes later the gang made it to the area where the competition is being held, they're all amazed by the number of trainers and flying Pokemon as they're looking around, they hear Leaf's voice.
"GUYS!" Leaf yells making the group turn to her, they smile and wave once Leaf gets close enough, she looks at them and speaks.
"You guys finally made it I was getting worried" Leaf says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"Hey Leaf, do you know if all these trainers are competing in the race?" Ash asks as Leaf speaks.
"I think some are, but others are here to see two popular flying type trainers" Leaf says as Misty speaks.
"Two popular flying type trainers?" Misty asks as Leaf speaks.
"Yeah, come on this way" Leaf says as the group follow her 5 minutes later, they reach an area filled with trainers they're all looking in the air waiting for something Misty then speaks.
"Who do you suppose they're waiting for?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"I'm not sure but there's a runway for a plane" Brock says the group look at the runway a few seconds later everyone hears the sound of a plane everyone looks up and see a small red plane. As it's getting closer everyone can see that there are two women inside the trainers in the area start to give a loud cheer shocking the group forcing them to cover their ears. Misty's Sobble begins to cry from the loud noise making the gang and some trainers in the area have tears comedically flow from their eyes Misty quickly returns the blue chameleon to its Pokeball making everyone stop crying. Once that's over everyone can see a man appear on a stage, he has a microphone and begins to speak.
"Hello everyone, welcome to this year's flying race I know you're all excited for not just the race but the two trainers competing this year here they come!" The man says as everyone then see the red plane fly down it goes on the runway stopping then two women appear. One of them jumps out of the plane sporting Auburn hair she lands on the stage while the other one has long Alice blue hair and just walks to the stage; she also has a golf club once they're on the stage they turn to the crowd and smile as the announcer speaks.
"Now let me introduce them first up is Skyla a flying type gym leader from the Mistralton City gym in the Unova region and Kahili is not only a world-famous golfer but is also a master with flying types from the far Alola region!" The announcer says both women turn to the crowd and smile the trainers begin to give a loud cheer as Misty speaks.
"So, these are the two flying type trainers competing?" Misty asks with Ash and Leaf nodding Brock then speaks.
"They're both beautiful!" Brock says having hearts in his eyes as the 3 kids look at him Skyla grabs the microphone and speaks.
"Hello everyone, you all must've come far and wide to compete in the race and must be intimidated to face us. But don't worry we're just challengers too so make sure you give us your best and let's all soar high together!" Skyla says smiling while raising her fist in the air the crowd gives a loud cheer as Kahili speaks next.
"For this year's competition not only will it be a relay race but also trainers placing in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th will get to battle each other in a 4v4 battle setting the winner receives a trophy and some Pokemon food" Kahili says with everyone nodding getting excited as Ash speaks.
"So, looks like we get to battle I'll make sure I make it in the top 4" Ash says as Leaf speaks.
"You'll have to get pass me first little bro" Leaf says having a confident look on her face Ash looks to her and smiles as the announcer speaks.
"The competition will start in 30 minutes make sure you register and get your Pokemon ready" The announcer says the trainers in the area begin to quickly run out going to register while the gang stay put, they see Skyla and Kahili beginning to walk away Brock quickly runs over to them he gets on one knee grabs Skyla's Left hand and Kahili's right hand he looks at them and speaks.
"Oh, Skyla and Kahili both of you have made my heart soar please go out with me so that we can soar high together" Brock says smiling at the two-woman Skyla and Kahili look at Brock confused as Misty is about to pull his ear Croagunk appears from its Pokeball and jabs Brock's butt with Poison Jab making Brock paralyzed he lays on the ground groaning in pain he looks at Croagunk and speaks.
"Not… you…. To…." Brock says in pain Croagunk begins to pull Brock away laughing as Ash speaks.
"Well, that was unexpected" Ash says with Leaf nodding as Misty speaks.
"I like that frog's style" Misty says as she and Quaxly are snickering Skyla and Kahili then look at Ash and speak.
"Hey you're Ash Ketchum, right? The one who won the SS. Anne Tournament" Both women ask as Ash nods in confirmation both women smile and introduce themselves with Ash, Misty and Leaf doing the same Skyla then speaks.
"So, are you competing in this competition as well?" Skyla asks as Ash nods; he also tells them that Leaf is competing too Kahili then speaks.
"Well, I hope you two give us a great challenge" Kahili says with Ash and Leaf nodding the two women then walk away so they can get ready for the competition Ash, Misty and Leaf walk away as well they then find Brock and Croagunk sitting in a corner they see that Brock is still paralyzed making the group chuckle as Brock continues to groan from the pain.
30 minutes later Ash registered for the tournament he along with other trainers are in hot air balloons with their flying Pokemon next to them up ahead is a large forest the announcer for the tournament speaks.
"Hello everyone as you already know this is a relay race your Pokemon will carry wristbands and fly to a point where they'll meet their teammate. Now I will explain the areas there are 6 areas in total the first one you see in front of you is a large forest filled with trees, the second area is an open field with grass, the third is a snow area, the forth is a desert, the fifth is an area where strong wind blows and the final area is an open area where your final Pokemon needs to make a strong finish" The announcer says with the trainers nodding as he continues to speak.
"As you can see on the screen the area's line up to be a perfect circle leading back to here, I'll also tell you that in areas 1-5 there are obstacles that will try to stop your Pokemon from advancing if your Pokemon falls from the sky and hits the ground you're out of the competition. For the first obstacle your flying Pokemon will have to try their best to maneuver thru all the trees and branches." The announcer says with the trainers nodding as he continues to speak.
"Remember the 4 trainers that make it to the finish line first will be able to battle each other and get the chance to win a trophy now with that out of the way it's time to begin the race it starts in 20 seconds" The announcer says as everyone sees a timer counting down Ash looks to Pidgeotto and speaks.
"Let's do this Pidgeotto" Ash says with the bird nodding Leaf looks at her Fearow and speaks.
"I'm counting on you Fearow!" Leaf says with the bird nodding Skyla, Kahili and many other trainers with their Pokemon get ready meanwhile in the stands Misty (with Sobble and Quaxly on her shoulders) and Brock watch hoping for Ash and Leaf to do well as they see the clock get down to five seconds the announcer speaks.
"The race will begin in 5… 4…. 3…. 2… 1… 0 YOU MAY NOW BEGIN!" The announcer says as Ash, Leaf, Skyla, Kahili and the other trainers speak.
"GOOOOO!" They all yell as their flying types quickly fly into the forest the trainers then begin to use their hot air balloons to follow their Pokemon. High in the sky there are Pidgeot's flying above recording the Pokemon in the race the footage is transferred on a screen so the people in the stands, and the trainers can see the Pokemon Ash sees Pidgeotto and speaks.
"That's it Pidgeotto keep going!" Ash speaks "Pidjo!" Pidgeotto yells as it begins to get ahead of the other flying Pokemon easily maneuvering thru all the trees and branches while some of the other flying Pokemon aren't able to pass thru the trees and branches they hit them and fall on the ground knocked out of the race Leaf looks to Fearow and speaks.
"Come on Fearow don't let Pidgeotto get ahead of you!" Leaf calls Fearow gives a mighty "Fear!" as it begins to fly faster catching up to Pidgeotto both birds are now neck and neck they begin to fly fast while doing their best to avoid the trees and branches. The people in the audience are amazed by the speed both Pokemon are going Skyla and Kahili are impressed Leaf looks to Ash as Ash looks to her, they smile then look back to their Pokemon and speak.
"GO!" They both yell as do the two birds they keep flying fast trying to get ahead of the other as they're about to exit out of the forest Skyla and Kahili speak.
"Braviary now!" "Go Toucannon!" Both women say as out of nowhere a Braviary and Toucannon appear they easily pass thru Pidgeotto and Fearow quickly shocking both birds and their trainers. Once Braviary and Toucannon make it out of the forest they're now in a grass field they see their teammates and land. Braviary hands its band over to a Male Unfezant while Toucannon hands its band to a female Unfezant both mons take the bands and quickly fly in the air at an incredible speed Skyla and Kahili's hot air balloons fly pass Ash and Leaf they look at the kids and speak.
"We're going ahead see you at the finish line!" Both women say as they speed up their hot air balloons to catch up with their Pokemon Ash and Leaf are shocked at what happen they both quickly recover they have smiles on their faces and speak.
"The one who will win is me" Both kids say to themselves they then see Pidgeotto and Fearow fly to their teammates. Pidgeotto hands its wristband over to Corvisquire telling it good luck Corvisquire bows saying it shall not fail it then quickly flies in the air going after the two Unfezant's. Leaf's Fearow hands its wristband over to Leaf's Shiny Fletchinder Fearow tells it to go fast the fire bird nods it puts on the wristband and quickly flies in the air going after Corvisquire and the two Unfezant's. Pidgeotto and Fearow go into their respective trainers' hot air balloons Ash and Leaf tell their Pokemon good job they quickly pull the strings making the balloons go faster as the announcer speaks.
"We've now reached the grass field where it will test the Pokemon's speed Skyla's and Kahili's Unfezant's are up ahead while Ash's Corvisquire and Leaf's Fletchinder aren't too far behind there are also many other flying Pokemon behind them. Now then let's see what the second obstacle is." The announcer says when he does up ahead everyone can see multiple Onix, Rhydon and Dugtrio just standing Ash then speaks.
"What're they doing here?" Ash questions as the announcer speaks.
"Stone Edge!" The announcer calls the mons roar as they summon multiple sharp rocks heading towards the flying Pokemon the two Unfezant's easily dodge as do Ash's Corvisquire and Leaf's Fletchinder but some of the Pokemon behind them are unlucky as they're hit by the stone edge and fall to the ground out of the race this shocks the trainers as the announcer speaks.
"Not only will this area showcase your Pokemon's speed but also how they control their speed when something appears in front of them now Stone Edge again!" The announcer calls the ground types roar summoning the sharp stones knocking out more flying Pokemon as a stone edge appears in front of Ash's Corvisquire Ash speaks.
"Corvisquire quick do a sharp turn to the Right!" Ash calls Corvisquire quickly turns right dodging the sharp rock as Leaf speaks.
"Fletchinder you do a sharp Left!" Leaf calls Fletchinder quickly turns left dodging the stone edge it catches up to Ash's Corvisquire as they both begin to try and dodge the stone edge while also trying to get ahead of the other the announcer speaks.
"My would you look at that contestants Ash and Leaf's flying Pokemon are trying their best to dodge the Stone Edge as best as they can!" The announcer says as Misty, Sobble, Quaxly and Brock cheer for them as the announcer continues to speak.
"But look contestants Skyla's and Kahili's Unfezant's are having no problem dodging the Stone Edge they're almost out of the grass field and are about to enter the snow field!" The announcer says Ash and Leaf look at the two Unfezant's getting further away they look at their Pokemon and speak.
"GO CORVISQUIRE!" "COME ON FLETCHINDER!" "COR!" "FLETCH!" They both yell as do their Pokemon both Corvisquire and Fletchinder begin to speed up they begin to easily dodge the Stone Edge when they do, they're now just inches behind the two Unfezant's. The two Unfezant's quickly look back and smile, but they begin to speed up even more with Corvisquire and Fletchinder following suit they keep going until they make it out of the grass field and enter the snow field.
"Fez" The two Unfezant's say they quickly go to their teammates Skyla's Unfezant goes to a Pokemon named Archeops while Kahili's Unfezant goes to a Skarmory they give them the wristbands as both Pokemon quickly fly into the air. Ash's Corvisquire and Leaf's Fletchinder go to their teammates as well, Corvisquire gives Noctowl the wristband while Fletchinder gives Trumbeak its wristband both Pokemon put the wristbands on and quickly go after Skarmory and Archeops once they're gone Corvisquire and Fletchinder fly to their respective trainers balloons once they make it they begin to pant heavily Ash and Leaf tell them good job with both mons nodding Ash and Leaf's hot air balloons speed up going after their Pokemon Misty then speaks.
"Geez I wasn't expecting there to be Pokemon using Stone Edge in the grass field I was nervous hoping neither Ash nor Leaf's Pokemon got hit" Misty says with Brock nodding as he speaks.
"Now that they're in the snow field I think I've an idea of what obstacle they'll face next" Brock says with Misty nodding as they continue to watch the screen, they see Skyla's Archeop's and Kahili's Skarmory up ahead with Ash's Noctowl and Leaf's Trumbeak not too far behind as they're getting closer the announcer speaks.
"Now here's are next obstacle!" The announcer says as everyone can see a Lapras, Jynx, Beartic, Dewgong and Cloyster appear the announcer speaks.
"Blizzard!" The announcer calls the 5 mons take a deep breath and fire a big Blizzard consuming Skarmory, Archeops, Noctowl, Trumbeak and any other flying type Pokemon the announcer then speaks.
"For the next obstacle the trainers Pokemon will have to successfully fly thru a harsh Blizzard this area is the most challenging as it's the one where it knocks out all the contestants" The announcer says as on the screen the audience can see most of the contestants Pokemon fall on the ground frozen Misty then speaks.
"This is bad if Noctowl and Trumbeak don't make it out they'll be frozen do you see them, Brock?" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"No, I can't there's too much snow" Brock responds as they continue to look at the screen, they see two figures appear Misty then speaks.
"Is that Noctowl and Trumbeak?" Misty questions as Brock speaks.
"No those are" Before Brock can finish Skarmory and Archeop's appear out of the Blizzard neither one seemed fazed by it they fly pass the ice types and go to the desert field. Misty and Brock keep looking but they don't see Noctowl or Trumbeak they get worried until they hear two Pokemon yelling. They look back at the screen they see two figures and two hot air balloons coming into view as they're getting closer, they burst out from the blizzard Misty and Brock smile and speak.
"They made it!" They cheer happily as on the screen Noctowl and Trumbeak are cold but continue to fly while in the balloons behind them Ash, Leaf, Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Corvisquire, Fearow and even Fletchinder are shaking from the cold once they pass through the ice types Ash speaks.
"They should've told us to bring jackets" Ash says while stuttering with Leaf agreeing they keep going until they reach the desert area once they make it they see Skarmory hand its wristband over to a Pokemon called a Baile style Oricorio and Archeops hands its wristband over to a Pokemon called Swobat both mons quickly fly in the air. Ash's Noctowl lands and gives its wristband to Vibrava once the Vibration Pokemon has the wristband on it quickly flies in the air. Leaf's Trumbeak gives its wristband to Leaf's Sensu style Oricorio like Vibrava once it puts on the wristband it quickly flies in the air going after Vibrava, Swobat and the Baile Oricorio. Once they're gone Noctowl and Trumbeak go to their respective trainers' balloons Ash wraps a warm towel around Noctowl while Leaf's Fletchinder warms up Trumbeak with its flame body ability Ash and Leaf's hot air balloons then go after the Pokemon as the announcer speaks.
"We've now entered the desert area what obstacle will the trainers Pokemon face next?!" The announcer asks as while everyone is looking at the screen, they see the Baile Oricorio and Swobat ahead, but Ash's Vibrava and Leaf's Sensu style Oricorio aren't too far behind they quickly catch up to the two-mons surprising Swobat and the fire bird Skyla and Kahili smile as Ash and Leaf speak.
"Now Pass Them!" They both say with Vibrava and the ghost bird nodding they try to get pass the two mons but they aren't letting them thru as they're flying to see who can be in first up ahead, they see a Arcanine and a few Growlithe's the announcer then speaks.
"Sunny Day then use Flamethrower!" The announcer calls the fire dogs roar to the sky setting up the harsh sunlight they then take a deep breath and fire the stream of fire at the Pokemon Skyla, Kahili, Ash and Leaf speak.
"DODGE!" The 4 trainers yell as their Pokemon successfully dodge the attacks once they do Skyla's Swobat begins to pant heavily as the announcer speaks.
"For this obstacle much like a real desert its very hot so the trainers will have to make sure there Pokemon don't get too tired while they dodge the Flamethrowers" The announcer says as he commands the fire dogs to fire another Flamethrower, they do and almost hit the 4 Pokemon. This keeps going on for a few minutes Skyla's Swobat and Leaf's Sensu style Oricorio are getting tired/thirsty, but they are still hanging on ahead of them Ash's Vibrava and Kahili's Baile style Oricorio are doing great neither the sun, nor the flamethrowers are affecting them Ash smiles and speaks.
"That's it Vibrava keep going you're almost there!" Ash says Vibrava nods as it begins to increase its speed more easily avoiding the Flamethrowers as Kahili speaks.
"Don't let it get ahead of you Oricorio!" Kahili calls the fire bird nods it begins to speed up as well easily dodging the flamethrowers and catching up to Vibrava. Behind them are Skyla's Swobat and Leaf's Sensu style Oricorio they push forward too not letting the two mons in front of them out of their sights they keep flying until they finally make it out of the desert area and enter a cliff area. Vibrava quickly reaches Hawlucha it gives the Lucha bird the wristband Hawlucha gives a "Lucha" saying thank you and telling Vibrava good job the Lucha bird puts on the wristband and begins to glide in the air as Vibrava goes back to Ash and its other teammates to rest. Meanwhile, Kahili's Balie Oricorio makes it to a Pokemon called Mandibuzz it hands it the wristband and Mandibuzz quickly flies after Hawlucha. Skyla's Swobat makes it to Skyla's Mandibuzz it hands over the wristband Mandibuzz puts it on it quickly goes after Kahili's Mandibuzz and Ash's Hawlucha. Leaf's Sensu style Oricorio comes in last it hands its wristband over to Leaf's Flamigo the pink bird quickly grabs the wristband Oricorio then goes to rest in Leaf's balloon Leaf looks at the pink bird and speaks.
"I'm counting on you Flamigo!" Leaf says with the bird nodding it quickly flies in the air going after the other Pokemon.
2 minutes later Ash's Hawlucha is still in the lead with the two Mandibuzz's and Flamigo behind it, but Hawlucha's lead doesn't last for long as Flamigo quickly flaps its wings and makes it to Hawlucha surprising the Lucha bird. Flamigo looks at Hawlucha and smirks it begins to fly ahead of it, but Hawlucha won't let that happen as it tries to get ahead of the pink bird Flamigo speeds up more causing the lucha bird to speed up more too this makes both birds glare at each other trying to pass the other leaving the two Mandibuzz's behind up in the balloons Leaf speaks.
"Looks like my Flamigo now has a rivalry with your Hawlucha" Leaf says with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"True but my Hawlucha will win Go! Hawlucha!" Ash cheers with Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Corvisquire, Noctowl and Vibrava the Lucha bird nods as it begins to speed up more Leaf speaks.
"Come on Flamigo don't let it beat you!" "MINGO!" Leaf yells as does Flamigo the pink bird begins to speed up more it and Hawlucha are neck and neck again Skyla and Kahili look at the two birds trying to fight for first place as Kahili speaks.
"Oh, my look at how far they're going" Kahili says as Skyla speaks.
"They may be up ahead, but the wind is in my favor" Skyla says as Kahili looks at her once Skyla says that ahead of Hawlucha and Flamigo appear two Pidgeot's Hawlucha and Flamigo look at them as the announcer speaks.
"Now for the final obstacle Pidgeot Hurricane!" The announcer calls the two birds yell they flap their wings fast creating two large Hurricanes it sucks up Hawlucha and Flamigo making them spin out of control shocking Ash, Leaf and their Pokemon as the announcer speaks.
"For the final obstacle the trainers will have to find a way for their Pokemon to pass thru the Hurricane as in the wild flying Pokemon get caught in large Hurricane's a lot so what will you do trainers?!" The announcer says Skyla and Kahili aren't fazed as they speak.
"Mandibuzz break thru!" Both women yell the two vultures roar as they fly into the Hurricane once they're inside they struggle a little bit while inside the Hurricane, but they keep going until they break thru the tornado surprising Ash and Leaf, they see the two Mandibuzz's along with Skyla and Kahili fly away Ash and Leaf look at the Hurricane Hawlucha and Flamigo are in and begin to think.
"What should I do there has to be way to break out of the Hurricane think, think!" Both Ash and Leaf say to themselves as they're thinking of a solution, they remember something and speak.
"RIDE THE HURRICANE!" Both kids yell Hawlucha and Flamigo hear their respective trainers command they spread out their wings and begin to ride the Hurricane and head up wards. They keep going until they're out of the Hurricane Ash and Leaf smile and speak.
"YES!" Both kids yell happily as they speak.
"Go after Mandibuzz!" Ash and Leaf say Hawlucha and Flamigo look at each other they nod saying they'll handle their rivalry later they both quickly glide down passing the two Pidgeot's and go after the two Mandibuzz's in the stands Misty speaks
"They did it!" Misty cheers happily along with Sobble and Quaxly as Brock speaks.
"That was smart of them they remembered to have their Pokemon ride the wind from watching the other Pokemon do it during the SS. Anne Tournament" Brock says with Misty nodding they look to the screen and see the two Mandibuzz's reach their respective teammates. Skyla's Mandibuzz hands over its wristband to a Pokemon called Swanna and Kahili's Mandibuzz hands its wristband over to a Pokemon called Crobat once both mons put on the wristbands, they quickly fly heading towards the finish line. Ash's Noibat and Leaf's shiny Swablu look to the sky they see their respective teammates they smile and go to them. Flamingo quickly puts the wristband on Swablu and says "Mingo" telling it to bring home the win Swablu nods it gets a determined look on its face it quickly flies in the air going after Swanna and Crobat. Once Hawlucha reaches Noibat it takes off the wristband handing it to Noibat the lucha bird says "Lucha" telling Noibat that he believes in it Noibat nods it gets a determined look on its face it puts on the wristband and begins to quickly fly in the air going after Swablu, Crobat and Swanna. Hawlucha and Flamigo go inside their respective trainers' balloons Ash and Leaf tell them great job Ash then speaks.
"Okay guys lets cheer on Noibat!" Ash says with his Pokemon roaring in agreement Leaf looks at her Pokemon and speaks.
"Let's give Swablu our support!" Leaf says with her Pokemon agreeing with her, Ash and Leaf speed up their balloons going after their Pokemon in the stands Misty and Brock have let out all their Pokemon so they can cheer on Noibat and Swablu Brock then speaks.
"This is it the final stretch" Brock says with Misty nodding as she speaks.
"Do you think Ash's Noibat will do well?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"We'll see" Brock responds with Misty nodding as the announcer speaks.
"This is it everyone the final stretch of the race let's see who'll win and make it in the top 4 for now it seems as though Skyla's Swanna and Kahili's Crobat are in the lead can Ash's Noibat and Leaf's Swablu catch up and beat them?!"

"Now Sky Attack!" Leaf calls Fearow roars as it glows a bright white it begins to charge up the move when it's done charging Fearow heads towards Pidgeotto as Ash speaks.
"Pidgeotto Brave Bird!" Ash calls Pidgeotto roars it quickly heads towards Fearow it tucks in its wings being consumed in fire it then spreads its wings out becoming a shiny bright blue Pidgeotto and Fearow clash in the air creating a big shockwave and a gust of wind.

"Yeah, that's it Fearow Keep PUSHING!" "FEAR!" Leaf and Fearow yell as Fearow starts to easily push Pidgeotto down, Pidgeotto tries its best to push back, but Fearow is too strong it's about to give in as Ash speaks.
"Come on Pidgeotto you can do it you always train hard improving yourself day after day don't lose Pidgeotto everyone is believing in you SO PUSH BACK!" "PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu cheer the Pokemon Ash has with him in their Pokeball's cheer as well Pidgeotto looks at Ash and begins to think back. When it was in Viridian Forest it felt as though it was the strongest Pokemon there nothing stood in its way but after being caught by Ash Pidgeotto learned that the world is a big place filled with many Pokemon that can defeat it. Once Pidgeotto realized that it trains itself every day to improve making sure it's stronger than it was yesterday for a while it felt as though it wasn't improving and went into a small depression but after learning Brave Bird Pidgeotto felt it can still improve and become stronger. Pidgeotto then looks at Fearow it doesn't want to lose it wants to keep getting stronger, keep improving alongside its teammates, help its trainer win more battles and help him achieve his dream Pidgeotto then yells.
"PIDJOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Pidgeotto gives a mighty yell as it glows a bright white shocking everyone as Ash speaks.
"Pidgeotto's evolving!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer happily as they see Pidgeotto get bigger its hair gets longer Fearow tries to push the bird down but is unable to as it's knocked away Pidgeotto then flies in the air as the evolution is complete what was once a Pidgeotto is now a Pidgeot.
"PIDJO!" Pidgeot gives a mighty yell creating a shockwave everyone is surprised at what just happened Ash and Pikachu have smiles on their faces while Leaf is in shock but quickly composes herself, she looks to Fearow and speaks.

"FEAROW HYPER BEAM FULL BLAST!" "FEAR!" Leaf commands as Fearow yells it takes a deep breath and fires a giant Hyper Beam at Pidgeot but Pidgeot isn't fazed it looks at Ash, Ash nods and makes his command.
"PIDGEOT BRAVE BIRD!" "PIDGO!" Ash calls with Pidgeot yelling it heads towards the Hyper beam it tucks in its wings being consumed in fire then spreads them becoming a shiny blue Pidgeot collides with the Hyper beam and begins to easily cut through it heading for Fearow as Leaf and Ash speak.
"GOOOOOO! FEAROW!" "GOOOOOOOOOO! PIDGEOT!" "FEAR!" "PIDJO!" Leaf, Ash, Fearow and Pidgeot yell everyone sees Pidgeot successfully cut thru the hyper beam and hit Fearow creating a giant explosion and a massive wind that blows Ash and Leaf away, but their other Pokemon come out of their Pokeball's to catch them. Once the wind stops there's a big dust cloud everyone looks to see who won as the dust is clearing everyone can see Pidgeot and Fearow staring at each other panting heavily. Both Ash and Leaf's hearts begin to beat fast waiting to see who won Pidgeot stumbles a little bit but catches itself Fearow smiles it closes its eyes and falls on the battlefield knocked out the ref then makes the call.
"Leaf's Fearow is unable to battle Ash's Pidgeot is the winner meaning Ash is the winner of this battle and can go on to face Skyla!" The ref calls Ash and his Pokemon smile as they yell.

"Hopefully he does well" Misty says as Leaf speaks.
"Come on Ash show her that Pallet Town Spirit!" Leaf cheers along with her Pokemon Ash looks to her and nods as Skyla speaks.
"I must say you've proven to be quite the capable trainer, but I've predicted the outcome of this battle and in my mind, you won't defeat me Skyla says in confidence Ash looks to her and speaks.
"We'll see about that I'll show you just how strong me and my Pokemon are" Ash responds holding his Pokeball forward Skyla smirks also holding a Pokeball forward. The ref tells the two trainers the rules are the same as last time and for them to send in their first Pokemon Skyla goes first.
"Go Mandibuzz!" Skyla calls as the big Vulture appears it gives a mighty roar almost blowing Ash and Pikachu away but they both stand their ground Ash looks at the Pokemon and speaks.

"Great Vibrava now use Steel Wing repeatedly!" Ash calls before Skyla can make a command Vibrava quickly shoots forward and hits Archeops before the rock bird can counter Vibrava hides in the sandstorm, but it doesn't stay in for long as it begins to hit Archeops again and again. This keeps going on making Skyla annoyed as Misty speaks.
"Hey, isn't this strategy the one Kiawe used?" Misty questions as Brock speaks.
"I think you're right Misty I guess Ash decided to borrow his strategy and use it against Archeops" Brock responds with Misty nodding, Leaf and her Pokemon continue to cheer they see Vibrava hit Archeops again knocking it to the ground groaning in pain Skyla is annoyed she smiles and speaks.
"Not a bad strategy Ash but I think it's time for us to counter" Skyla says making Ash confused as Skyla speaks.

Both trainers call as Archeops goes to fire the dragon beam Vibrava yells using both Screech and Supersonic Archeops cries out in pain it tries to cover its ears but then puts its hands down as its now confused and its defense is lowered Leaf then speaks.
"I see so Ash had Vibrava use its wings to create a sound wave that allows Vibrava to use both Screech and Supersonic" Leaf says with Misty and Brock nodding Ash then speaks.
"Great job Vibrava let's finish this use, Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Vibrava roars it covers its body in dragon energy and heads towards Archeops Skyla is too late to return Archeops in time as the vibration Pokemon hits Archeops creating a dust cloud.

Skyla yells Braviary hears the cries of its trainer as it becomes stronger beginning to push Pidgeot back. Pidgeot tries its best, but Braviary is too strong Skyla and Braviary can see that Pidgeot is getting weaker that's when Skyla yells.
"GOOOOOOOOOO! BRAVIARY!" "BRAVE!" Skyla and Braviary yell Braviary breaks thru Pidgeot's brave bird it hits the bird on the head and both mons come crashing down when they hit the battlefield there's a big explosion knocking Ash, Pikachu and Skyla back towards the wall before they hit it their Pokemon come out of their Pokeball's to save them. The crowd is also affected by the wind as well but Kahili's flying types along with Leaf's flying type Pokemon protect the crowd by moving the wind somewhere else.
20 seconds later the wind stops everyone looks at the battlefield they see just how destroyed it is, they all try to find Ash, Skyla, Pidgeot and Braviary but can't see anything because of the dust cloud. A few seconds later the cloud of dust disappears everyone can see Ash and Skyla with their Pokemon helping them up as they look at the battlefield, they see both Braviary and Pidgeot on the ground seemingly having no intention of standing back up. As the ref is about to call for a draw one of the birds stands up the ref then makes the call.

"Okay we've are plans for tomorrow let's see who'll come out the victor!" Ash says with everyone nodding they then reach the Pokemon Center head to their rooms and go asleep as the chapter ends.
Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. A lot happened in this chapter Noibat got development, Pidgeotto evolved and Skyla and Kahili were introduced. Tell how me you guys felt about how I handled Noibat's development on learning to fly and Pidgeotto's evolution. I decided to put both developments here as I felt it made since I also felt it was time for Pidgeotto to evolve as well. How did you guys feel about Skyla and Kahili? I didn't have them interact with the cast much, but I think I wrote them well. Lastly how did you feel about the race, the battles and how did you feel about Ash losing to Skyla? I decided to have Ash lose as it shows Ash that he still has room to grow as a trainer.
Next chapter will be the Pokemon land race unlike this chapter there won't be a battle just the trainers racing with their Pokemon I hope you all enjoy it.
Next time chapter 35 The Pokemon Land Race
See you all next time!
