The chapter begins where the last one left off with Tangrowth firing its Bullet Seeds and Kingler charging forward using Cut. Kingler makes contact with the Bullet seeds and begins to easily cut through them, Kingler goes to hit Tangrowth as Pete calls for a command.
"Tangrowth use Stun Spore!" "Kingler quick back away!" Both trainers call Kingler's unable to dodge in time as Tangrowth quickly fires its spores that hit Kingler and successfully paralyzes it. Kingler groans from the paralysis while Ash grits his teeth Pete then calls for his next command.
"Now use Power Whip!" "Kingler use Protect!" Both trainers call Tangrowth quickly summons the green vines they go to hit Kingler but the king crab quickly summons a protective barrier blocking the attack. Tangrowth then appears in front of Kingler surprising the crab as Ash calls for a command.
"Kingler quick use Cut!" "Tangrowth Grass Knot!" Both trainers call when Kingler goes to hit Tangrowth the vine Pokemon summons a grassy knot which makes Kingler trip causing super effective damage. Kingler then looks up it sees Tangrowth in front of it Ash quickly makes a command.

Kingler cries out in pain as it's sent flying and crashes down below Ash's feet knocked out as the ref makes the call.
"Kingler is unable to battle Tangrowth is the winner!" The ref calls allowing for Pete and Tangrowth to cheer in victory in the stands Leaf speaks.
"Darn Kingler lost" Leaf says as Brock speaks.
"I hate to say this, but it was poor judgement on Ash's part to keep Kingler in he knows just how tricky Tangrowth can be" Brock says with the others nodding. Back on the battlefield Kingler looks at Ash saying sorry as Ash speaks.
"It's okay Kingler you did your best now get a good rest" Ash says with the king crab nodding it goes back in its Pokeball, Ash then looks forward he grabs his next Pokeball and throws it.
"Krookodile I choose you!" Ash says bringing the intimidation Pokemon in. When Krookodile appears it lets out a massive roar creating a shock wave it then looks at Tangrowth and gets in a battle stance with Tangrowth doing the same in the stands Joe speaks.
"Why'd Ash send in Krookodile he should know that it has a type weakness against Tangrowth?" Joe questions as Misty speaks.
"He must have some sort of plan" Misty answers with Joe nodding they continue to look at the battlefield as Pete speaks.
"You're sending in a Ground Type against my Tangrowth I must say it's a bad idea it'll just go down like what happened to Kingler." Pete says as Ash speaks.
"I'm not so sure about that my Krookodile's pretty tough" Ash responds with Krookodile nodding making Pete smile the ref calls for the battle to continue as Pete calls for the first move.
"Let's go Tangrowth use Solarbeam!" Pete calls Tangrowth quickly fires the big grassy beam. It flies through the battlefield going to hit Krookodile as Ash calls for a command.

"Tangrowth is unable to battle Flygon is the winner!" The ref calls making Ash along with his Pokemon cheer the Sunny Day also goes away in the stands Brock speaks.
"I get it so Ash brought in Krookodile to do some damage to Tangrowth then when Krookodile did its part Ash brought in Flygon to finish Tangrowth off with Flamethrower as the Sunny Day would boost its power" Brock says as Giselle speaks.
"Wait but why didn't Ashy kins just bring in Flygon earlier?" Giselle asks as Misty speaks.
"Ash knew that if he brought in Flygon earlier then Pete more than likely would have switched his Pokemon. So, Ash brought in Krookodile making Pete think he made a mistake, but it was the opposite instead" Misty answers with Giselle nodding she smiles and speaks.
"That's my Ashy Kins!" Giselle cheers happily as Leaf speaks.
"That was pretty smart of Ash" Leaf says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Pete returns Tangrowth telling it thank you he then grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.
"That was a nice idea Ash but let's see how you'll handle this one Go! Steelix!" Pete says he throws the ball forward as a Steelix appears. The Iron snake lands on the ice field and lets out a massive roar creating a shock wave Ash looks at it and speaks.

Flygon's still standing as it successfully blocked the attack as Ash speaks.
"Are you okay Flygon?!" Ash asks with Flygon nodding it then begins to pant as Ash speaks.
"Even though Flygon hasn't taken much damage this Steelix is still giving it a hard time if I keep Flygon in it'll faint, so I'll have to switch" Ash thinks to himself he pulls out Flygon's Pokeball and speaks.
"Flygon return!" Ash says with Flygon nodding it goes back in its Pokeball as Ash grabs another Pokeball and speaks.
"Krookodile come back out!" Ash says bringing the intimidation Pokemon back in it roars and gets into a battle stance in the stands Leaf speaks.
"Krookodile's back in" Leaf says as Brock speaks.

"Even though Flygon and Krookodile would be good choices against Arcanine they've both received damage from their previous battles I need to use someone fresh, and it'll have to be this one" Ash says to himself he looks at his next Pokeball as Pete speaks.
"So, who's next? Are you going to send in your Flygon and Krookodile again?" Pete asks as Ash looks at him and speaks.
"Nope I'm going to use someone who hasn't battled yet here it is Arcanine I choose you!" Ash responds he throws the ball forward as his Hisuian Arcanine appears. When the legendary Pokemon comes out of its Pokeball it lets out a loud howl creating a big shockwave that almost blows Pete and his Arcanine away. When Ash's Arcanine is done howling, it looks at its opponent and gets in a battle stance everyone in the crowd is shocked to see a Hisuian Arcanine along with the people watching the battle on TV in the stands Joe speaks.
"This is my first time seeing a Hisuian Arcanine" Joe says with Giselle agreeing but she then continues to cheer on Ash along with Misty, Leaf and Brock. Meanwhile elsewhere in the league AJ, Ritchie, Jackie, Gary and Harrison who've finished their battles or are getting ready to battle they look at the TV and are surprised to see Ash's Hisuian Arcanine. Somewhere in the stands Paul is a little surprised too and is curious to see just how strong it is. Next, we go to the building where Red, Blue, Goodshow and the Elite 4 are they're also surprised to see Ash's Hisuian Arcanine Blue then looks at Red and speaks.
"Well looks like Ash got himself a pretty powerful Pokemon" Blue says with Red agreeing they continue to look at the battlefield as Pete speaks.
"A Hisuian Arcanine? I heard that there have been recent sightings of them in the Sinnoh region. I wasn't expecting to actually see one here it looks strong" Pete says as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, my Arcanine's strong and it'll defeat yours!" Ash says with his Arcanine nodding in agreement Pete smiles he tells his Arcanine to get ready with the fire dog nodding. The two Arcanine's stare at each other and begin growling the ref calls for the battle to continue as both trainers call for their moves.
"Use Flamethrower!" Both trainers call the two Arcanine's build up fire from their mouths and launch them creating big Flamethrowers. The two moves collide they fight for dominance for a little bit until they explode Pete then calls for his next command.
"Arcanine use Extreme Speed!" Pete calls his Arcanine shoots forward it reaches Ash's Arcanine in an instant and hits it. Ash's Arcanine skids back a couple of feet but is overall fine having taken barely any damage Ash then calls for his next command.
"Okay Arcanine counter with Double Edge!" Ash calls his Arcanine roars as it covers its body in white energy and shoots forward hitting Pete's Arcanine. The fire dog coughs in pain as it's sent crashing into one of the ice boulders and destroys it Pete then speaks.
"Arcanine!" Pete calls out in worry his Arcanine stands back up it can still battle but begins to pant heavily. Pete is surprised by how powerful that one Double Edge was, he also notices that Ash's Arcanine didn't take any recoil damage from the Double Edge. Pete then looks at the Sunny Day and sees that he has a couple more turns left he then speaks.
"Arcanine let's end this use Burn Up!" Pete calls "Burn Up?" Ash questions he looks forward as Pete's Arcanine heats up its body it lets out a mighty roar and fires a massive wave of fire. It heads towards Ash's Arcanine and starts melting the ice on the battlefield as Ash speaks.
"Arcanine look out!" Ash calls his Arcanine can't dodge in time as the Burn Up hits Arcanine creating a big explosion that shakes the entire battlefield in the stands Leaf speaks.
"What was that move?" Leaf asks as Brock speaks.
"Burn Up is a move where a fire type Pokemon uses up all of the fire in its body and fires a massive wave of heat at its target. This will also make the user not a fire type anymore" Brock responds with Leaf nodding as Giselle speaks.
"Did Ash's Arcanine survive that?" Giselle questions but Brock, Leaf, and Joe are unsure while Misty continues to look forward. Back on the battlefield most of the ice is gone and is replaced with water. Pete's Arcanine is currently on an ice platform and is panting heavily, it's lost its fire typing as Pete speaks.
"Great job Arcanine looks like you were able to defeat a Hisuian Arcanine!" Pete says happily with the fire dog nodding as Ash speaks.
"Are you sure about that?" Ash says Pete and Arcanine look forward on Ash's side. When the smoke clears Ash's Hisuian Arcanine appears it's also standing on an ice platform and has some scratches on it. Pete along with his Arcanine have surprised looks on their faces as Ash speaks.
"That Burn Up move was strong if you used it against any other Pokemon they would've easily fainted, but my Arcanine's tough it can take fire type moves well but that Burn Up did do some damage to it" Ash says with his Arcanine nodding Pete then speaks.
"It's not over yet Arcanine quick use Close Combat!" Pete calls his Arcanine roars it jumps towards Ash's Arcanine going to hit it as Ash calls for a command.
"Arcanine counter with Raging Fury!" Ash calls his Arcanine roars as its body is consumed in fire and jumps towards Pete's Arcanine. The two fire dogs meet in the middle of the sky Pete's Arcanine tries its best to knock Ash's Arcanine away, but Ash's Arcanine roars as it breaks through Pete's Arcanine's assault and rams its head in its stomach. Pete's Arcanine coughs in pain as it's sent flying and crashes next to Pete. The Sunny Day goes away as Ash's Arcanine lands back on its ice platform, on the other side of the battlefield Pete looks at his Arcanine he can see that it's completely knocked out the ref makes the call.
"Pete's Arcanine is unable to battle Ash's Arcanine is the winner seeing as Pete has no more Pokemon left this means Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town is the winner and will move on to the next round!" The ref calls allowing for Ash, Arcanine, Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie to cheer. Arcanine then jumps over to Ash and tackles the boy to the ground. Arcanine begins to lick Ash's face causing him to laugh a few seconds later Arcanine lets Ash stand back up as Krookodile, Flygon, Luxio and Kingler appear from their Pokeballs. Ash looks at them telling them thank you for a good job making the mons happy, Ash, Pikachu, Riolu, Froakie, Krookodile, Flygon, Luxio and Kingler then congratulate Arcanine on winning the battle making the fire dog happy. Ash's friends in the stands along with the people in the crowd cheer for Ash and his Pokemon as the boy and his Pokemon happily wave at them. Pete looks at his Arcanine he returns it telling it thank you he then sees Ash walkover to him the two boys look at each other and smile saying they enjoyed battling each other. Pete also tells Ash good luck in the rest of the league with the boy nodding as the crowd claps for them.
10 minutes later it's now time for Leaf and Giselle to battle each other. Both girls are on their sides of the battlefield the ref told them that the rules are the same as the previous matches. Everyone then looks at the screen to see which field they'll be battling on in the stands Ash speaks.
"Man, I'm excited to watch this battle" Ash says with the group nodding as Misty speaks.
"I wonder how much stronger Giselle has gotten" Misty says as Joe speaks.
"After we left Fuchsia City Giselle and I have been training hard every day with each other she's gotten a lot stronger" Joe says with the group nodding they then look back at the battlefield as the screen finally stops. It showcases that the battle will take place on a water field, the plain battlefield then transforms into a water field with some landing Platforms floating on top the ref then speaks.
"If both trainers are ready, you may now send out your first Pokemon!" The ref calls as Leaf goes first.
"Here I come Giselle Go! Walrein!" Leaf says she throws her Pokeball forward what appears is a large blue Walrus like Pokemon it lands on one of the landing platforms and lets out a loud roar in the stands Ash speaks.
"Who's that Pokemon?" Ash questions he takes out his Pokedex to scan it.
"Walrein the Ice Break Pokemon a Ice/Water type and the fully evolved form of Spheal. Not only does its thick blubber keep it warm, it also protects it from attacks and it also shatters ice with its prized tusks." The Pokedex says as Misty speaks.
"It looks so cool!" Misty says with hearts in her eyes back on the battlefield Giselle grabs a Pokeball and speaks.
"A Walrein huh? well it's no match for this one Go! Jolteon!" Giselle says she throws the ball forward as her Jolteon appears it also lands on one of the land platforms. Jolteon looks at Walrein and begins to spark its body as Walrein gets in a battle stance. Leaf isn't surprised by the choice the ref then speaks.
"Now that both trainers have sent in their Pokemon let the battle begin!" The ref calls as Giselle makes the first move.
"Jolteon use Thunder!" Giselle calls Jolteon sparks up its body and roars as it fires a big Thunder. It comes falling from the sky heading towards Walrein as Leaf calls for a command.
"Walrein dive into the water to dodge!" Leaf calls Walrein quickly dives into the water dodging the Thunder as the electric bolt destroys the land platform that Walrein was on Giselle then calls for her next command.
"Jolteon use Thunder on the water!" "Walrein use Whirlpool!" Both trainers call Jolteon fires the large electric bolt as it goes to hit Walrein, the Walrus summons a big Whirlpool. The Whirlpool begins to make the water in the pool swirl along with the land platforms. When the Thunder hits the swirling water, it disperses which shocks everyone in the stands Brock speaks.
"I see so Leaf's way of countering the Thunder was having Walrein use the Whirlpool in the water causing it to swirl which made the Thunder disperse going somewhere else" Brock says with the group nodding. Meanwhile the land platform that Jolteon is on starts getting pulled into the Whirlpool Giselle quickly calls for a command.
"Jolteon quick jump high in the air!" Giselle calls Jolteon quickly jumps in the air getting away from its land platform as it's sucked inside the Whirlpool Leaf then speaks.
"Walrein go after Jolteon!" Leaf calls Walrein shoots out from the water going after the electric fox. As Walrein's getting closer Giselle calls for a command.
"Jolteon use Thunder!" "Walrein Iron Head!" Both trainers call Jolteon quickly fires the large bolt at the incoming Walrein, Walrein quickly covers its head in steel energy it easily passes through the Thunder and hits Jolteon shocking Giselle as Leaf calls for her next command.
"Now knock Jolteon back down with Aqua Tail!" "Jolteon use Thunder Fang!" Both trainers call Walrein covers its tail in water and goes to slap Jolteon. Jolteon sees Walreins tail going to hit it the yellow fox tries to use Thunder Fang but can't as it's flinching. Walrein then slams its tail on Jolteon's head making it crash down on one of the land platforms Giselle then speaks.
"Jolteon!" Giselle calls in worry when the smoke clears Jolteon stands up it groans in pain but can still battle making Giselle happy as Leaf speaks.
"Walrein go after Jolteon!" Leaf calls Walrein dives downward heading for Jolteon Giselle quickly calls for her next command.

"Walrein pass through it with Heavy Slam!" Leaf calls Walrein covers its body in steel energy and easily passes through the Thunder. Giselle doesn't have time to tell Jolteon to dodge or return it as Walrein crashes down on Jolteon making some of the water in the pool rise. A few seconds later Walrein moves back a few feet as it showcases Jolteon who's knocked out the ref makes the call.

"I see then let's see how it does with grass types come out Tsareena!" Giselle says she throws the ball forward as the Pokemon lands on a landing platform and begins to take form. What appears is a bipedal plantlike Pokemon with a human-like appearance. When it fully appears, it flips its hair back then looks forward at Walrein. Ash and Leaf quickly take out their Pokedex's to scan the mon.

"Tsareena kick one of the land platform's then jump in the air!" Giselle calls with Tsareena nodding it jumps forward and kicks a land platform the fruit Pokemon then jumps high in the air dodging the blizzard. The land platform that Tsareena kicked travels through the Blizzard and hits Walrein in the face making the walrus groan in pain as Leaf speaks.
"Walrein above you!" Leaf calls Walrein looks up in the air it sees Tsareena falling towards it as Giselle calls for a command.
"Tsareena use High Jump Kick!" "Walrein quick dodge!" Both trainers call Tsareena's knee glows white and heads for Walrein.

"Walrein's unable to battle Tsareena's the winner!" The ref calls allowing Giselle and Tsareena to cheer in the stands Misty speaks.
"That Tsareena is very fast and nimble" Misty says with the others nodding. Back on the battlefield Leaf returns Walrein telling it thank you she looks back at the battlefield and begins to think.
"Tsareena is fast, so I should counter with one of my fast Pokemon" Leaf says to herself she grabs her next Pokeball and speaks.
"Let's go Toedscruel!" Leaf says she throws the ball forward as her Toedscruel appears it lands on one of the land platforms and gets into a battle stance in the stands Ash speaks.
"Cool looks like Leaf's Toedscool evolved" Ash says with the group nodding Giselle looks at Tsareena and speaks.

"Tsareena use Acrobatics!" Giselle calls Tsareena glows blue and shoots towards Toedscruel Leaf quickly calls for a command.
"Toedscruel counter with Poison Jab!" Leaf calls the mushroom Pokemon quickly covers one of its tentacles with poison and collides with Tsareena. The two mons begin trying to push each other back a few seconds later they both skid away from each other as Leaf calls for her next command.

"Tsareena is unable to battle Toedscruel is the winner!" The ref calls allowing for Leaf and Toedscruel to cheer in victory the crowd claps for them as well. Back in the stands Misty speaks.
"Leaf defeated her Tsareena quickly" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"Yes, she knew how fast Tsareena is and had Toedscruel wrap its vines around it to hold it in place then attack" Brock says with Misty nodding as Joe speaks.
"Giselle's not done yet" Joe says as he along with everyone else look back at the battlefield they see Giselle return Tsareena and tells it thank you. Giselle then notices Leaf returning her Toedscruel Giselle then speaks.
"You're not keeping your Toedscruel in?" Giselle asks as Leaf speaks.
"Nope I'm going to use this one next Go! Rapidash!" Leaf says she throws her Pokeball forward as a Galarian Rapidash appears it slightly moves its hair and looks forward in the stands Ash speaks.
"Rapidash?" Ash questions he takes out his Pokedex to scan the mon.

"Come out Simipour!" Giselle says she throws the ball forward as a bipedal water Monkey appears. It lands on a land platform having a smile on its face and waves at Leaf with Leaf waving back. Ash and Leaf take out their Pokedex's to scan the mon.
"Simipour the Geyser Pokemon a pure water type and the evolved form of Panpour. Simipour can demolish a concrete wall with the pressurized water it shoots from its tail." The Pokedex says, back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Leaf makes the first move.

"Simipour dive into the water to dodge!" Giselle calls Simipour quickly dives into the water and successfully dodges the Psycho Cuts Giselle then calls for her next command.
"Simipour use Waterfall!" Giselle calls inside the water Simipour covers its body in water and shoots towards Rapidash. As Simipour's close to hitting Rapidash Leaf calls for a command.
"Rapidash stop it with Psychic!" Leaf calls Rapidash quickly fires the waves of psychic energy and stops Simipour as it was just inches away from hitting it Leaf then calls for another command.
"Now use Megahorn!" "Simipour use Hydro Pump!" Both trainers call before Rapidash can use Megahorn Simipour fires a big Hydro Pump in Rapidashs face making the horse fall into the pool. Rapidashs control on Simipour then disappears as the monkey lands on the platform it runs forward and dives into the pool going after Rapidash. As Simipour is swimming towards Rapidash Leaf calls for a command.
"Rapidash lift yourself out of the water with Psychic!" Leaf calls Rapidash covers its body in psychic energy. As it goes to leave the pool Giselle calls for a command.
"Simipour speed yourself up with Waterfall then use Throat Chop!" Giselle calls Simipour quickly covers its body in water it swims forward and reaches Rapidash instantly. Before Leaf can call for a command Simipour's right hand glows in dark energy and chops Rapidashs neck making the horse cough in pain as Giselle calls for her next command.
"Now Simipour use Waterfall again!" Giselle calls Simipour covers its body in water and hits Rapidashs stomach. The two-mons swim upward they exit out of the pool, Simipour launches Rapidash high in the air while the water monkey goes after it Leaf then calls for her next command.
"Rapidash use Wild Charge!" Simipour dodge then knock it back down with Aqua Tail!" Both trainers call Rapidash covers its body with electricity it falls forward going to hit Simipour, but Simipour easily dodges by moving to the side it covers its tail in water and hits Rapidashs back. Rapidash is then sent crashing back down on one of the land platforms Leaf then speaks.
"Rapidash are you okay?!" Leaf calls in worry when the smoke clears Rapidashs groaning in pain but stands up it then sees Simipour falling towards it as Leaf speaks.
"Rapidash grab it with Psychic!" "Simipour break through it with Throat Chop!" Both trainers call Rapidash roars it fires a big wave of psychic energy at Simipour. Simipour covers both of its hands in dark energy and easily destroys the psychic Giselle then speaks.
"Now Waterfall!" Giselle calls before Leaf can call for a command Simipour covers its body in water and crashes down on Rapidash knocking the horse down and causing an explosion. A few seconds later as the smoke is clearing everyone can see Simipour standing while Rapidash is unconscious the ref makes the call.
"Rapidash is unable to battle Simipour's the winner!" The ref calls allowing for Giselle and Simipour to happily cheer the crowd also claps for them. Leaf is sad that Rapidash lost she returns the horse to its Pokeball looks at it and speaks.
"Sorry Rapidash I was really hoping to use you more" Leaf says she then puts the ball away as Giselle speaks.
"So, which of your Pokemon will fall next?" Giselle asks while having a confident smile on her face Leaf looks at her and speaks.
"Heh don't get too confident we're just getting started" Leaf responds she takes out her next Pokeball and throws it.
"Go! Salazzle!" Leaf says what appears from her Pokeball is her Salazzle it lands on the land platform and has a smile on her face in the stands Misty speaks.
"Salazzle? why'd Leaf send in a fire type against a Water type?" Misty questions as Brock speaks.
"Hmmm she must have a plan" Brock responds with Misty nodding they continue to watch the battle as Giselle speaks.
"A Salazzle? Why are you sending in a fire type against my Simipour also it's on a water battlefield once it falls in the water it's game over. You should bring in your Toedscruel instead because you just made a mistake" Giselle says as Leaf speaks.
"Nah trust me, it's no mistake I'm confident that my Salazzle can win" Leaf responds with her Salazzle nodding while Giselle is still confused the ref calls for the battle to continue as Giselle speaks.
"I'm not sure what you're planning but it doesn't matter to me as Simipour will end this battle in an instant, Simipour use Hydro Pump!" Giselle calls Simipour fires a big Hydro Pump it travels down the battlefield going to hit Salazzle as Leaf speaks.
"Salazzle dodge then use Dragon Pulse!" Leaf calls Salazzle easily dodges the Hydro Pump by jumping left and landing on another land platform. Salazzle then fires a big Dragon Pulse at Simipour as Giselle calls for a command.
"Simipour quick dive into the water!" Giselle calls Simipour quickly dives into the water dodging the attack making Leaf smirk as Giselle calls for her next command.
"Now Simipour Waterfall!" Giselle calls Simipour covers its body in water it swims forward going to hit Salazzle as Leaf calls for a command.
"Salazzle use Poison Gas in the water!" Leaf calls Salazzle takes a deep breath puts its head in the water and lets out the poisonous gas that instantly covers the entire pool which surprises Giselle as she speaks.
"Simipour quick get out of the water!" Giselle calls Simipour jumps out of the water when it does it begins to cough as it's now poisoned shocking Giselle Leaf then speaks.
"Great now Salazzle use Venoshock then Sludge Wave!" Leaf calls Salazzle quickly fires the stream of poison which hits Simipour making it cry out in pain. Salazzle then summons a big wave of Sludge that comes crashing down on Simipour causing more damage to it Giselle then yells.
"Simipour!" Giselle yells in worry as a couple seconds later Simipour appears from the Sludge Wave and lands next to Giselle knocked out the ref makes the call.
"Simipour's unable to battle Salazzle's the winner!" The ref calls allowing for Leaf and Salazzle to cheer Leaf then speaks.
"Great job Salazzle I knew you could do it!" Leaf says happily with the poison lizard nodding in the stands Brock speaks.
"I get it now the reason as to why Leaf brought in Salazzle was so she could make it difficult for Simipour to swim by contaminating the water with poison." Brock says as Joe speaks.
"After that she had Salazzle use Venoshock which causes more damage when the opponent is poisoned then finished Simipour off with Sludge Wave" Joe says as Misty speaks.
"Simipour also had no way to dodge either as the water is still covered in poison and Giselle didn't have time to return it either" Misty says with Brock and Joe nodding. Ash continues to look forward, he smirks and is impressed by the strategy Leaf made. Back on the battlefield Giselle is sad that Simipour lost she returns the water monkey telling it thank you she then looks forward and speaks.
"Well, I now see why you sent in your Salazzle that was an impressive strategy you came up with" Giselle says with Leaf nodding Giselle takes out her next Pokeball and speaks.
"But I'm not going down yet Go! Hatterene!" Giselle says she throws her Pokeball forward what appears is a small humanoid looking Pokemon with its hair far longer than it and is around its body making it look like a cloak. Hatterene looks at Salazzle and has a serious look on its face Salazzle gets in a battle stance as Leaf speaks.
"Who's this Pokemon?" Leaf questions as she along with Ash take out their Pokedex's.
"Hatterene the Silent Pokemon a Psychic/Fairy type and the evolved form of Hattrem. Hatterene emits psychic power that creates headaches, forcing others to go far away." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.
"So, her Hattrem evolved it looks strong" Ash says as Joe speaks.
"Yeah, it's really strong after evolving it's helped win Giselle many battles" Joe says with the group nodding back on the battlefield Leaf speaks.
"Hmmm this could be tricky should I switch?" Leaf says to herself Salazzle then looks at her saying that it wants to continue, Leaf nods and speaks.
"Okay Salazzle I'll keep you in!" Leaf says with Salazzle nodding meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield Giselle smiles the ref calls for the battle to continue as Leaf makes the first move.
"Salazzle we'll attack first use Flamethrower!" Leaf calls Salazzle fires a big Flamethrower it travels down the battlefield going to hit Hatterene as Giselle speaks.
"Hatterene destroy it with Psychic!" Giselle calls Hatterene's eyes glow blue it stops the Flamethrower and easily destroys it Leaf isn't worried as she calls for her next command.
"Now Gunk Shot!" Leaf calls Salazzle summons a poison trash can and quickly throws it at Hatterene. As the trash can is getting closer Giselle calls for a command.
"Hatterene use Psycho Cut!" Giselle calls Hatterene slashes the air and fires a big Psycho Cut which easily cuts the Gunk Shot in half. The Psycho Cut keeps going until it hits Salazzle creating an explosion and causing super effective damage to it. Salazzle is then sent soaring in the air as Giselle calls for her next command.
"Hatterene grab it with Psychic!" Giselle calls Hatterene quickly fires the waves of psychic energy and grabs Salazzle holding it in the air as Leaf speaks.
"Salazzle break out of there with Crunch!" "Hatterene push it away with Psychic!" Both trainers call before Salazzle can use Crunch Hatterene's eyes glow blue and pushes Salazzle away making it go pass Leaf and crashing into the wall behind her Leaf then speaks.
"Salazzle!" Leaf calls out in concern as Salazzle falls on the ground knocked out the ref makes the call.
"Salazzle's unable to battle Hatterene's the winner!" The ref calls Giselle cheers happily while Hatterene smiles in the stands Misty speaks.
"Darn Leaf's Salazzle lost" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"And now they both have two Pokemon left this battle can go either way" Brock says with the group nodding as they turn their heads back to the battlefield. Leaf returns Salazzle telling it thank you she then looks forward as Giselle speaks.
"We now have two Pokemon left are you going to bring in your Toedscruel next?" Giselle asks as Leaf speaks.
"Nope I'm going to bring in another Pokemon instead I caught it while I was training for the league and I'm confident that it'll beat your Hatterene" Leaf responds as she holds a Pokeball forward Giselle then speaks.
"Okay then bring it out I'm curious" Giselle says as Leaf speaks.
"Alright here it is Go! Krookodile!" Leaf says she throws the ball forward as a shiny Krookodile appears it lands on a land platform and lets out a mighty roar creating a shockwave. When it's done roaring it looks at Hatterene and gets in a battle stance with Hatterene doing the same in the stands Ash speaks.
"That shiny Krookodile isn't that Giovanni's?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.
"I believe you're right Ash your father did tell us that after they found Giovanni's body in Tojo Falls they noticed that his Pokeball's were destroyed meaning that his Pokemon left him" Brock says as Misty speaks.
"But how does Leaf have it?" Misty questions but the others don't know they keep looking at the battlefield as Giselle speaks.
"So, your last one is a Krookodile it looks strong, but my Hatterene will be more than enough to beat it" Giselle says with her Hatterene nodding as Leaf speaks.
"We'll see about that" Leaf responds while smiling the ref calls for the battle to continue as Giselle calls for the first move.
"Hatterene use Dazzling Gleam!" Giselle calls Hatterene roars it glows brightly in fairy energy and shoots forward going to hit Krookodile as Leaf speaks.
"Krookodile counter with Iron Tail!" Leaf calls Krookodile covers its tail in steel energy. When Hatterene is about to hit Krookodile the croc swings its tail it cuts through the Dazzling Gleam and hits Hatterene making it cough in pain causing super effective damage. Hatterene is sent flying through the air then comes crashing back down on one of the land platforms it groans in pain as Giselle speaks.
"Hatterene are you okay?!" Giselle asks with Hatterene nodding it stands back up when it does it looks in the air and sees Krookodile heading towards it Giselle quickly calls for a command.
"Hatterene quick use Play Rough!" "Krookodile use Metal Claw!" Both trainers call Hatterene jumps towards Krookodile going to hit it, Krookodile continues to fall towards Hatterene and covers its claws in steel energy. Hatterene goes to hit Krookodile first, but the croc easily dodges it then hits Hatterene with its right claw and sends it back down on the land platform. Hatterene groans in pain it sees Krookodile still falling towards it as Leaf speaks.
"Now end it with Foul Play!" Leaf calls before Giselle can call for a command Krookodile covers its body in dark energy it falls towards Hatterene hitting it and creating an explosion as Giselle yells.

"Krookodile took down Hatterene easily it's as strong as ever" Ash says as Brock speaks.
"Yeah, and now that it has defeated Hatterene it's going to get even stronger" Brock says with Ash and Misty nodding making Joe confused. Back on the battlefield Giselle returns Hatterene she tells it thank you when she looks back at the battlefield Krookodile roars its body glows red for a split second as its attack power has increased Giselle then speaks.
"Like Ashy Kins Krookodile it also has the Moxie ability" Giselle says with Leaf nodding as she speaks.
"Well Giselle this is it your final Pokemon against my last two" Leaf says Giselle looks at her last Pokeball and begins to think.
"My last Pokemon if it loses then my time in the Kanto league is over." Giselle thinks to herself she then remembers Ash being in a tough spot before, but he never gave up and kept fighting. Giselle smiles, she looks forward, holds her Pokeball forward and speaks.
"I may be at my last Pokemon but I won't give up GO! MAROWAK!" Giselle says she throws the ball forward as her Marowak appears. It lands on one of the land platforms, it holds its bone tightly and gets in a battle stance. Marowak glares at Krookodile while Krookodile glares back in the stands Ash speaks.
"So, Giselle's Marowak is her final Pokemon" Ash says as Misty speaks.
"I wonder how well it'll do against Krookodile" Misty wonders as Joe speaks.
"Don't worry Giselle's Marowak is strong after the SS. Anne Tournament Giselle and Marowak have been training hard every day improving themselves, so I know that they'll do great" Joe says while smiling the group nod and turn their heads back to the battlefield as Leaf speaks.
"Krookodile don't go easy on Marowak!" Leaf says with the croc nodding as Giselle speaks.
"Let's do this Marowak!" Giselle says with Marowak nodding the ref calls for the battle to continue as Leaf calls for the first move.

"Now Ice Beam!" Dodge Krookodile!" Both trainers call Marowak fires the icy beam it goes to hit Krookodile but the croc begins to roll getting away from the beam. When Krookodile's at a safe distance it stands back up and looks at Marowak as Leaf speaks.
"Krookodile Foul Play!" Leaf calls Krookodile roars it covers its body in dark energy and shoots forward. Giselle calls for Marowak to block with its bone with the mon doing just that, Marowak and Krookodile collide and start pushing each other back. A few seconds later Krookodile wins the exchange and pushes Marowak away making it land on another land platform Leaf then calls for her next command.
"Krookodile use Dragon Claw!" Leaf calls Krookodile covers its claws in green dragon energy and jumps forward going to hit Marowak Giselle then speaks.

"Marowak!" Giselle calls in concern when the smoke clears everyone can see that Marowak is knocked out the ref makes the call.
"Marowak is unable to battle Krookodile's the winner. Seeing as Giselle has no more Pokemon left this means Leaf is the winner and will go onto the next round!" The ref calls Leaf gets a big smile on her face and cheers.
"Alright!" Leaf cheers happily as Krookodile lands on a land platform and roars in victory while the audience clap for them in the stands Misty speaks.
"Looks like Giselle lost" Misty says as Joe speaks.
"Yeah, but she did her best" Joe says with the group nodding back on the battlefield Giselle has a surprised look on her face and is in shock that she lost. Giselle then looks at Marowak and picks it up. Marowak opens its eyes, it looks at Giselle and speaks.

"By the way Leaf how did you get Giovanni's Krookodile?" Misty asks with the others wondering as well as Leaf speaks.
"Oh 2 weeks ago when I was training in the mountains with my Pokemon Krookodile suddenly appeared. At first, I was scared but when I looked at Krookodile its face showed no signs of hostility and wanted to join me. So, after that I captured Krookodile and we've been together ever since" Leaf responds with the group nodding they then hear a voice.

"This just showcases just how strong these two moves are" Brock says with the group nodding as they continue to cover their ears. Back on the battlefield Machamp can feel its defense along with its special defense go down drastically Paul then speaks.
"Now Flash Cannon!" Paul calls before Joe can make a command Aggron fires a point-blank Flash Cannon at Machamp consuming the mon. Machamp is then sent flying and crashes into one of the boulders Joe then speaks.
"Machamp!" Joe calls in worry when the smoke clears Machamp appears it can still battle but is groaning in pain and feels its special defense go down more as Joe begins to think.
"The battle has barely started and Machamp has already taken so much damage I'll need to return it" Joe says to himself as he's about to return Machamp Paul calls for a command.
"Aggron Stone Edge!" Paul calls Aggron roars it stomps its foot on the ground and summons the large sharp stones. They quickly travel down the battlefield going to hit Machamp as Joe speaks.
"Machamp dodge by jumping in the air!" Joe calls Machamp quickly jumps high in the air dodging the Stone Edge when it does Paul calls for his next command.
"Now Thunder!" Paul calls surprising Joe Aggron roars to the sky as it summons a large Thunder that comes crashing down on Machamp. Machamp cries out in pain when the Thunder goes away Machamp begins to fall as Paul speaks.
"Now use Iron Head!" "Machamp dodge!" Both trainers call Aggron covers its head in steel energy and shoots forward. Machamp can't move in time as it's paralyzed Aggron then hits Machamp making the mon cough in pain. Machamp is then sent flying and lands below Joe's feet knocked out as the ref speaks.
"Machamp is unable to battle Aggron is the winner!" The ref calls Paul's Aggron roars in victory in the stands everyone is surprised that Joe's Machamp went down fast as Giselle speaks.
"Joe's Machamp was taken down that quickly?" Giselle says as Brock speaks.
"Well, Aggron lowered Machamp's defense and special defense a lot which made the Flash Cannon and Thunder do more damage. Then when Machamp had enough he had Aggron finish it off with Iron Head" Brock says with Giselle nodding as they turn back to the battlefield. Joe is surprised that his Machamp is already done he recomposes himself pulls out Machamp's Pokeball and speaks.
"Thank you Machamp take a good rest" Joe says he then grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.
"Go! Excadrill!" Joe says he throws the ball forward as Excadrill appears and gets in a battle stance in the stands Misty speaks.

"Aggron use Screech and Metal Sound!" Paul calls Aggron fires the soundwaves again as Joe speaks.
"Excadrill use Dig to dodge!" Joe calls Excadrill quickly digs underground dodging the two soundwaves. It doesn't stay underground for long as it appears from under Aggron and uppercuts it causing super effective damage. Aggron groans in pain, it then opens its mouth as Paul speaks.
"Use Flamethrower!" "Excadrill Focus Blast!" Both trainers call Aggron fires the stream of fire while Excadrill launches an orange ball of fighting energy. The two moves collide creating an explosion making both mons skid away from each other Excadrill then runs forward as Joe calls for a command.
"Excadrill use Swords Dance then Drill Run!" Joe calls Excadrill sharply raises its attack power it becomes a drill and shoots forward. It appears from the smoke going to hit Aggron as Paul calls for a command.

"Aggron is unable to battle Excadrill's the winner!" The ref calls, Joe and Excadrill cheer in victory while the crowd and Joe's friends cheer for him. Paul isn't fazed he returns Aggron back to its Pokeball he then grabs another Pokeball and throws it.
"Darmanitan stand by for battle!" Paul calls as he brings out a Darmanitan when the mon appears it has a smile on its face and gets in a battle stance Joe looks at it and speaks.
"So, a Darmanitan's next Excadrill didn't take any damage from Aggron so it should be able to take down Darmanitan" Joe says to himself he looks at Excadrill and speaks.
"Let's keep going Excadrill!" Joe says with Excadrill nodding the ref calls for the battle to continue as Joe makes the first move.
"Excadrill use Drill Run!" Joe calls Excadrill becomes a drill it shoots forward going to hit Darmanitan as Paul speaks.

When Excadrill goes to hit Darmanitan the blazing mon moves to the left its right arm glows white and punches Excadrill sending it high into the air. Darmanitan then jumps after Excadrill and reaches it in an instant Joe quickly calls for a command.
"Excadrill use Stone Edge!" "Darmanitan use Superpower!" Both trainers call before Excadrill can fire the sharp stones Darmanitan's body bulks up glows red and slams both of its hands on Excadrill's head making it crash back down on the battlefield Paul then calls for his next command.
"Now Fire Punch" Paul calls Dramanitan's left fist heats up it quickly falls towards Excadrill and punches it hard in the stomach causing an explosion as Joe speaks.
"Excadrill!" Joe calls in worry when the smoke clears everyone can see Darmanitan standing over an unconscious Excadrill the ref then makes the call.
"Excadrill's unable to battle Darmanitan's the winner!" The ref calls Darmanitan smiles in victory while Paul has a stoic expression on his face not surprised about the outcome. Joe then returns Excadrill to its Pokeball he looks at the ball and speaks.

"Now Stone Edge!" Paul calls Darmanitan creates a large sharp stone and throws it at Arcanine before it hits the dog Joe makes a command.
"Arcanine jump in the air then use Extreme Speed!" Joe calls Arcanine jumps high in the air dodging the stone edge it then shoots forward at blinding speed and hits Darmanitan. Darmanitan is pushed back a few feet but can still battle. Darmanitan looks forward as Arcanine lands back down on the battlefield Paul pulls out Darmanitan's Pokeball and speaks.
"Darmanitan return" Paul says he returns the blazing Pokemon then grabs another Pokeball and speaks.
"Druddigon stand by for battle!" Paul says he throws the ball forward as a Druddigon appears. The dragon lets out a mighty roar then gets in a battle stance as Joe begins to think.
"A Druddigon's next it looks strong but I'm confident that Arcanine can beat it" Joe thinks to himself he looks at Arcanine and speaks.
"Let's keep going Arcanine!" Joe says with the fire dog nodding the ref calls for the battle to continue as Joe makes the first move.

"Now end it with Dragon Pulse" Paul calls before Joe can make a command Druddigon fires the big purple dragon beam it consumes Arcanine sending it crashing into a nearby boulder causing an explosion as Joe speaks.
"Arcanine!" Joe calls in worry when the smoke clears everyone can see that Arcanine is unconscious as the ref makes the call.
"Arcanine is unable to battle Druddigon is the winner!" The ref calls in the stands Brock speaks.
"I see so Paul had Arcanine come in close with Play Rough so he could have Druddigon dodge land an Aqua Tail then end it with Dragon Pulse" Brock says as Misty speaks.
"And now Joe only has two Pokemon left" Misty says as Giselle speaks.
"It's not over yet Joe can still turn this battle around I know he can" Giselle states having a determined look on her face as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, Giselle's right we should believe in Joe" Ash says with the group nodding they turn back to the battlefield and begin to cheer for Joe. On the battlefield Joe looks at his friends cheering for him and smiles he looks forward and begins to think.
"I may have two Pokemon left but I can still turn this around and this one will do just that" Joe thinks to himself he grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.
"Go! Goodra!" Joe says he throws the ball high in the air as the mon appears it's a large bipedal slug like Pokemon. It lands on the battlefield shaking it and lets out a roar.
"GOODRA!" The mon roars creating a shockwave that almost blows Druddigon back. Paul looks at the mon and smirks Goodra then stops roaring as it looks at Druddigon with Druddigon looking at it. In the stands Ash and Leaf speak.
"Who's that Pokemon?" The two trainers question they take out their Pokedex's to scan the mon.
"Goodra, the Dragon Pokémon a pure Dragon type and the evolved form of Sliggoo. Goodra are very friendly Pokemon and it's said that their hugs can cover their trainer's with a sticky slime" The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.
"So, Joe's Sliggoo evolved" Ash says as Giselle speaks.

"And now they both have two Pokemon left Joe might just be able to win this" Misty says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"I'm not sure" Ash says everyone looks at him as Giselle speaks.
"What do you mean Ashy Kins?" Giselle asks as Ash speaks.
"After battling Paul, a couple of times, I can tell when he's serious or not and right now I hate to say this but he's not taking the battle seriously" Ash responds surprising the group as AJ speaks.
"I've to agree with Ash it seems as though Paul has just been letting his Pokemon go down on purpose just to see how strong Joe is" AJ says as Giselle speaks.
"But if he keeps doing that, wouldn't he let Joe win?" Giselle asks as Ritchie speaks.
"No, I don't see him doing that" Ritchie responds as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, and now that they both have two Pokemon left I feel as though Paul's going to get serious" Ash says while having a serious expression on his face everyone looks back at the battlefield, they see Paul return Weavile to its Pokeball. When he does, he looks at Joe and speaks.
"I'll admit I wasn't expecting much from you, but you've done well and it's time for me to end this" Paul says as he grabs his next Pokeball Joe then speaks.
"Will bring it on my Goodra will take down your next Pokemon too!" Joe responds with Goodra nodding Paul smirks and speaks.

"Goodra's unable to battle Seismitoad's the winner!" The ref calls and everyone is surprised about the outcome in the stands Giselle speaks.
"No way it defeated Goodra that easily?" Giselle questions as Brock speaks.
"That Seismitoad's gotten a lot stronger than before" Brock says with Ash and Misty nodding Riolu looks at Seismitoad and hates to admit that it's impressed by its power. Back on the battlefield Joe has a surprised look on his face he wasn't expecting Goodra to go down, but he then calms himself grabs Goodra's Pokeball and speaks.
"Goodra return" Joe says returning the dragon he thanks it for a well fought battle and begins to think.

"Overheat" Paul calls Darmanitan heats up its body and roars firing a big wave of heat that easily destroys the sludge bombs and hits Victreebel causing an explosion as Joe yells.
"VICTREEBEL!" Joe calls in concern when the smoke clears everyone can see Joe's Victreebel laying on its back. The bell plant tries to stand up as it wants to win for its trainer, but Victreebel ultimately stays down as the ref speaks.
"Victreebel is unable to battle Darmanitan's the winner. Contestant Joe has no more Pokemon left meaning that contestant Paul is declared the victor and will move onto the next round!" The ref calls as the crowd cheers for Paul and his Darmanitan. Darmanitan roars in victory while Paul isn't surprised, on the other side of the battlefield Joe has a surprised look on his face in the stands Giselle speaks.
"I can't believe it Joe lost" Giselle says in a sad tone as Ritchie speaks.
"What makes it worse is that while Joe was putting everything, he had into the battle Paul wasn't taking it seriously until the end" Ritchie says with the group nodding they continue to look at the battlefield they see Joe walk over to Victreebel he lifts up the mons head as Victreebel looks at him. Victreebel tells Joe that it's sorry as Joe speaks.
"It's okay Victreebel you along with everyone else did their best" Joe says with Victreebel nodding. Joe then returns Victreebel to its Pokeball he then looks over at Paul who has returned Darmanitan and is walking away. Joe stands back up and begins walking away too in the stands Giselle speaks.
"Come on let's go" Giselle says with the group nodding as they quickly leave the stadium to go meet up with Joe. A few minutes later the group make it to the trainer hall they see Joe sitting by himself along with his Shiftry who's trying to comfort Joe. They're next to a water fountain Joe has a sad look on his face the group walk over to them. Joe and Shiftry notice them, Joe quickly rubs his eyes, looks at them and speaks.
"Hey guys" Joe says while putting on a smile as Giselle speaks.
"Joe are you okay?" Giselle asks as Joe speaks.
"Yeah, I'm fine it sucks that I lost but my Pokemon and I gave it our all but, in the end, we weren't good enough" Joe says as his smile disappears and is then replaced with a frown tears then start to flow from his eyes as he speaks.
"But the thing I find most frustrating is that I won't be able to continue to compete and battle you guys also losing hurts" Joe says with tears coming out of his eyes everyone looks at him having sad looks on their faces Giselle and Shiftry give Joe a hug as Ash speaks.
"You may have lost today, Joe, but this lost will only make you stronger so take this as a learning experience and cheer us on in the league and I promise if one of us face Paul, we'll defeat him" Ash states having a determined look on his face Joe looks at him smiles and speaks.
"Yeah, you're right Ash I can't let this loss keep me down I'll learn from this, train hard and next time I'll win" Joe states having a determined look on his face making Ash smile Leaf then whispers to Misty and speaks.
"It's great that Ash was able to help get Joe out of his depression fast" Leaf says with Misty nodding. After that Giselle along with Joe go to their room to rest, more battles then happen when those are done the other trainers who're still in the tournament are at the battlefield, they look at Goodshow as he speaks.
"Today was another successful day filled with intense battles we've now have 64 trainers left please take a look at the screen to see who you'll be facing next." Goodshow says everyone looks at the screen they see it randomizing their pictures when the images stop everyone sees who they'll be facing Ash looks at Ritchie and speaks.
"So, who're you battling Ritchie?" Ash asks as Ritchie speaks.
"Looks like I'm battling a trainer named Otoshi I think he was in the SS. Anne tournament. Who's your opponent Ash?" Ritchie responds as Ash looks for his picture, he sees it and next to it is a teenage girl Ash then speaks.
"Looks like I'm facing a trainer named Jeanette" Ash responds with Ritchie nodding as Jackie speaks.
"I've heard that she's a pretty strong trainer be careful Ash" Jackie says with Ash nodding he then sees the girl who's a few feet away from him. The girl looks at Ash smirks then walks away as Goodshow speaks.
"Now as you all know after tomorrow's battles if you win the next rounds after will consist of 6v6 battles I wish you all luck in your battles tomorrow" Goodshow says with the trainers nodding they all go to their respective rooms to rest. When Ash, Misty and Brock make it to their room Ash speaks.
"Man today was pretty intense I'm exhausted" Ash says with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie agreeing they all lay on the bed as Misty speaks.
"Hey Ash, do you know what kind of Pokemon you'll use in your match with Jeanette tomorrow?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.
"No, I don't do you guys know anything about her?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.
"Hmmm I've heard that she has a very strong Bellsprout but other than that not much" Brock responds Ash nods and speaks.
"A strong Bellsprout huh? Muk should be able to handle that one as for my next Pokemon" Ash begins to think about what other Pokemon he'll use when he does, he along with everyone else go to bed.
It's now the next day the battles have started the group of Ash, Misty, Brock, Joe and Giselle are currently in the stadium where Ritchie's battle will take place. As they're waiting for the battle to start, they hear a voice.
"Hey mind if I join?" The voice says everyone turns left and see Harrison Ash then speaks.
"Sure, we don't mind" Ash says allowing for Harrison to sit down when the teen takes his seat Misty speaks.
"Are you here to watch Ritchie's battle?" Misty asks with Harrison nodding as he speaks.
"Yep, I just got done finishing my battle so that I could watch Ritchie's" Harrison responds with the group nodding as Brock speaks.
"You must've defeated your opponent fast" Brock says as Harrison speaks.
"Yep, thanks to Hariyama and my other Pokemon I was able to defeat my opponent quickly" Harrison responds with the group nodding they're surprised that he defeated his opponent fast Harrison then speaks.
"Looks like they're starting" Harrison says everyone looks down at the battlefield they see Ritchie (with Sparky walking next to him) and Otoshi appear. They both make it to their sides of the battlefield and have serious expressions on their faces the ref makes himself known and speaks.
"This will be a 5v5 Pokemon battle both trainers are allowed to make substitutions whoever defeats all of their opponents Pokemon first will be declared the winner now let's see which field you'll battle on" The ref says everyone looks at the screen they see the wheel spin for a few seconds then stop as the ref speaks.

"Use Quick Attack!" Both trainers call Gecko and Accelgor instantly shoot forward and collide. The two mons begin pushing each other back seeing who's stronger everyone watches on as the chapter comes to an end.
Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. Whew there were a lot of battles in this chapter unfortunately Giselle and Joe have lost and won't move onto the next round. Even though they lost I wanted to show them putting up a fight against their opponents. Tell me how did you guys like the team updates I gave them. Also were you surprised to see that Leaf captured Giovanni's shiny Krookodile? I decided to do this as I felt it made sense for Krookodile to go with Leaf as back on the Silph Co. building it grew respect for her.
Next chapter will come out next week it'll mainly focus on Ash and Ritchie's battles I hope you all look forward to it.
Next time chapter 57: Kanto League Top 64 battles
See you all next time!
