Chapter 65 Kanto League Finals

Hello everyone, this chapter is the last chapter for not only the league but for the Kanto Arc as well. The first part will focus on Ash dealing with his loss against Paul and the second half will focus on Paul vs Harrison. I hope you all enjoy it!

The chapter begins the next day after the last one. It's currently 9:30 am we see Misty, Brock along with Red, Delia, Oak, Blue, Rose, Leaf, Giselle, Joe, AJ, Ritchie, Jackie, and Harrison. They're all in the cafeteria currently eating breakfast Giselle looks at Misty and Brock then speaks.

"Is Ashy Kins not going to eat with us?" Giselle asks as Brock speaks.

"When we told him it was time for breakfast Ash declined wanting to stay in the room" Brock responds with the others nodding as Misty speaks.

"Losing to Paul yesterday really affected Ash, I haven't seen him this sad other than his loss to Giovanni" Misty says with the group nodding as Leaf speaks.

"Maybe bringing him some food will help cheer him up" Leaf says with the group nodding Blue tells them that he can't come with them as he has some champion duties to tend too. As they go to give Ash some food Ritchie looks at Harrison and speaks.

"You're not coming Harrison?" Ritchie asks as Harrison speaks.

"Nah I'm going to go train my Pokémon so that I'll be ready for my battle" Harrison responds with Ritchie nodding as he speaks.

"Okay see ya and we'll make sure to cheer for you" Ritchie says with Harrison nodding. The two boys then go their separate ways. A few minutes later the group made it to the room where Ash, Misty, and Brock are staying Delia knocks on the door and speaks.

"Ash sweetie it's your mom, dad, and friends we've brought you along with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie breakfast" Delia says a few seconds go by and they don't hear anything. The group gets worried as Leaf knocks on the door this time and speaks.

"Hey Ash come on open the door" Leaf says but doesn't get a response either. Misty then speaks.

"Here let me try" Misty says with the group nodding. Misty walks over to the door, she knocks on it too and speaks.

"Hey Ash come on open the door we've food you may not be hungry but I'm pretty sure that Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie are" Misty says a few seconds go by as nobody hears a response. Misty's starting to get mad as she's about to knock on the door again, but the door suddenly opens. When it fully opens the group see Ash as he speaks.

"Sorry for not responding to you guys earlier and you're right Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie are hungry." Ash says. Everyone looks at Ash, they look at his eyes and can see that he hasn't slept at all. After that they then walk inside, Delia hands Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs, she looks at the 3 mons and speaks.

"Okay eat up" Delia says making the 3-mons happy as they begin to happily eat the food making Delia and everyone else smile. Ash looks at his Pokémon eating and gets a small smile on his face. The group look at Ash as Giselle then walks over to Ash and speaks.

"Here Ashy Kins we've brought food for you too" Giselle says while holding a plate of Pancakes in front of the boy Ash looks at her and speaks.

"Thank you but I'm not hungry" Ash responds surprising everyone as Giselle speaks.

"Are you sure Ashy Kins because these pancakes are really good" Giselle says making Ash angry as he speaks.

"I SAID THAT I'M NOT HUNGRY!" Ash yells as he smacks the plate of food out of Giselle's hands making it fall on the floor. Everyone has surprised looks on their faces Leaf quickly goes to Giselle asking if she's okay with the girl saying she is. Misty then walks over to Ash, grabs him by the collar and speaks.

"What's wrong with you!? Giselle was just being nice!" Misty says while yelling in his face Ash smacks her hands away from him and speaks.

"I told her that I wasn't hungry it's her fault for not listening!" Ash responds back in anger as Brock speaks.

"Ash, we know how you feel let us help you" Brock says as Ash speaks.

"Oh, please neither of you know how I feel!" Ash yells making Misty angry as she speaks.

"Ash just because you lost a battle doesn't give you the right to be mean to your friends and family!" Misty yells making Ash mad as he speaks.

"I don't need to hear that from someone who ran away from her family and didn't contact them for 3 weeks and is a gym leader of a weak/pathetic gym!" Ash responds back surprising everyone with Misty being the most shocked as tears start to well up in her eyes she then speaks.

"How could you say that" Misty says while looking at the boy. Brock's about to intervene while Ash realizes what he just said and speaks.

"Misty, I didn't me-" Before Ash can say anything Misty slaps him across the face. Ash has a shocked look on his face he looks at Misty as she yells.

"YOU JERK!" Misty yells with tears coming down from her eyes she then quickly runs away with Sobble, Quaxly, and Togepi going after her Leaf then speaks.

"Misty wait!" Leaf says as she quickly runs after her. Ash then puts his head down and goes to leave. Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie notice Ash leaving they go to follow him as Ash speaks.

"You guys stay here I want to be alone" Ash says surprising the 3 mons. They get sad looks on their faces and nod as Ash walks out of the room and begins walking away. Everyone has sad looks on their faces Red walks next to Delia and speaks.

"Don't worry I'll talk to him" Red says with Delia and the others nodding as he leaves. 10 minutes later we see Misty outside sitting on a bench next to a fountain with Sobble, Quaxly, and Togepi looking at her as Misty speaks.


"Stupid Ash and after everything we've been through" Misty says with tears falling from her eyes while her Pokémon look at her. The 3 mons and Misty then see someone approaching they turn and see Leaf. Leaf's panting heavily, she looks at Misty and speaks.

"Man, and I thought that I was a fast runner" Leaf says while panting heavily Misty looks at her she quickly rubs her eyes and speaks.

"Leaf what're you doing here?" Misty asks as Leaf speaks.

"I came to check on you of course" Leaf responds with Misty nodding as Leaf speaks.

"Mind if I sit down?" Leaf asks with Misty nodding once Leaf sits down the two girls sit in silence for a little bit until Leaf speaks.

"You know what happened in the room back there didn't need to go the way it did" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"Yeah, but Ash started it by being rude to everyone" Misty says as Leaf speaks.

"While that's true but Ash did just lose a very important match yesterday" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"I know but that doesn't give him the right to be a complete jerk" Misty says in anger with Leaf nodding as she speaks.

"I agree but at the same time what you did didn't make things better either" Leaf says making Misty angry as she speaks.

"So, what are you taking his side!?" Misty asks in anger as Leaf speaks.

"No, I'm not taking his side what Ash said to you and knocking the food out of Giselle's hands was completely uncalled for it makes since for you to be mad heck I'd be mad too" Leaf responds Misty then calms down and speaks.

"So, what's your point?" Misty asks as Leaf speaks.

"Well, my point is that look at it from Ash's perspective after traveling with him you know just how excited Ash was when it came to competing in the league. You watched him train his Pokémon every day for the league making sure that they're in top form and have the hope/confidence of winning the whole thing. But then all of that goes away the moment you lose as all of the training/preparations he did all feel as though it was for nothing. And it's even worse since he lost to Paul of all people, so Ash feels as though not only his pride was destroyed but it also makes him feel like a liar after promising his friends and Pokémon that he'll defeat Paul and win the league" Leaf responds with Misty nodding. Misty then remembers Ash's first battle with Paul and something similar happened when his pride was destroyed. Misty then looks at Leaf and speaks.

"Now that I think about it, it does make since why Ash's acting the way he is" Misty says as Leaf speaks.

"Yep, and don't worry once he cools down, he'll apologize to you and everyone else" Leaf says while smiling making Misty smile too as she speaks.

"Wow you really know Ash well" Misty says as Leaf speaks.

"Of course, I'm one of his childhood best friends and self-proclaimed older twin sister after all so I do know him really well" Leaf responds with Misty nodding as Leaf continues to speak.

"Besides I can't have my future sister-in-law and her husband constantly fighting" Leaf says with Misty nodding. Misty then realizes what Leaf said as she quickly stands up and speaks.

"What do you mean sister-in-law?! Ash and I aren't in that kind of relationship" Misty says while blushing profusely as Leaf speaks.

"True you're not in a relationship right now but you see I can just see in my mind yours and Ash's wedding day doesn't it get you excited thinking about it?" Leaf says smiling as Misty speaks.

"You're the only one who would think of something like that" Misty says making Leaf chuckle as she speaks.

"True but on a more serious note whenever you and Ash get into a fight come talk to me and I'll make sure to set him straight of course if you haven't done so already" Leaf says smiling Misty sighs she then looks at Leaf and speaks.

"Thank you Leaf" Misty says smiling with Leaf nodding Sobble, Quaxly, and Togepi look at them and smile too. We now cut over to Ash he's currently alone outside walking around the league. While Ash's walking he keeps replaying yesterday's battle in his head over and over again making him frustrated. As Ash continues to walk, he hears a voice.


"Ash!" The voice says, catching Ash's attention, the boy looks at the sky and sees Red riding on his Charizard surprising Ash as he speaks.

"Dad?" Ash says as Charizard lands next to him. Ash looks at his father and speaks.

"Dad what're you doing here?" Ash asks as Red speaks.

"Oh, nothing really come on get on it's been a while since you've rode on Charizard's back, right?" Red asks with Ash nodding. Ash then gets on the fire lizards back sitting behind Red as he speaks.

"Okay Charizard let's go!" Red says with Charizard roaring it flaps its wings and flies high in the air. When they're in the air Ash notices that they're leaving the league stadium as Ash speaks.

"Dad where are we going? the stadium's that way" Ash asks as Red speaks.

"Yeah, I know I just want to take you somewhere" Red responds as he tells Charizard to fly faster with the fire lizard nodding going faster. 2 minutes later they arrive at a forest that's 20 miles away from the league and land in a clearing. Once they make it, they get off Charizard's back Red looks at the fire lizard and speaks.

"Thanks, Charizard now return" Red says with the fire lizard nodding as it goes back in its Pokeball. Ash then looks around and sees nothing but trees and the clear sky as Red speaks.

"Alright let's hear it" Red says as Ash looks at Red who's sitting on a nearby rock making Ash confused as he speaks.

"Hear what?" Ash asks as Red speaks.

"Come on Ash you know what I mean but if you want me to spell it out for you I will. Tell me how do you feel after your loss yesterday" Red asks, having a serious expression on his face. Once Ash hears that he gets a frown on his face and speaks.

"What's there to tell I already told you yesterday that I was fine" Ash says as Red speaks.

"Come on Ash don't lie that little outburst you had back in the room and the tired look on your face tells me that you're not fine. So, come on let it all out it's just you and me here" Red says as Ash speaks.

"So, you want to know what I really feel huh? Well to be honest I feel like a failure" Ash says with Red listening as Ash continues to speak.

"After all the training and promises I made saying that I'll win the league and beat Paul I still lost" Ash says with Red nodding as he speaks.

"I know how you feel" Red says once he does this makes Ash mad as he speaks.

"Really? You the so called "Legendary Trainer" knows how I feel? Hahahahaha please that's a bold face lie! I remember all the stories you told me, Leaf and Gary when we were kids that you'd constantly win every one of your battles. You also won your First league on your very first try SO DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL BECAUSE YOU DON'T!" Ash yells while having an angry look on his face and pants a little bit as Red speaks.

"That's true I have told you many stories of my battles and adventures, a lot of them did include me winning. I guess I never told you of my most painful loss" Red says making Ash curious as he speaks.

"Your most painful loss?" Ash asks as Red speaks.

"Yeah, it happened a long time ago when Delia, Flint, Lola, Yellow, Sabrina, Riley, and I were traveling through the Kanto region together. Now I've told you before that during my Kanto journey I've won every one of my battles whether that included trainer, gym, or just casual battles I always won. Of course, not every battle was easy as I had a few challenges with Flint's, Sabrina's, and Blaine's battles coming into my mind. But after winning my 8th badge I felt unstoppable and that no one could beat me. So, as me and the others were on our way to the Pokémon League we ran into Blue" Red says as Ash speaks.

"Mr. Blue?" Ash asks with Red nodding as he speaks.

"Yep, when we ran into each other again Blue challenged me to a battle. Me being very overconfident accepted the battle thinking it would be a nice warm up before the league. I thought that because whenever me and Blue met each other while traveling Kanto I always came out on top so when I accepted the battle, I thought it was going to be easy, but I was completely wrong" Red says making Ash curious as Red continues to speak.

"Throughout the battle my Pokémon were losing left and right there was nothing I could do Blue's Pokémon were just stronger. The only one who stood a chance against Blue's Pokémon was Charizard but even Charizard lost after defeating two of Blue's Pokémon and losing to Blastoise" Red says with Ash nodding as Red continues to speak.

"After the battle I was devastated Blue completely destroyed me. At first, I couldn't believe that I lost and thought it was a fluke, but I was wrong. After that battle I kept losing battle after battle against multiple trainers I even lost in training battles against Delia, Sabrina, Riley, and Yellow. I didn't know why but I was in a big slump then one day after a training battle with Delia when her Dragonite defeated Charizard I got mad. I said really mean and nasty things to not just her but to everyone else as well. When I realized what I said I got on Charizard's back and ran away." Red says surprising Ash as Red continues to speak.

"While I was riding on Charizard's back there was a terrible storm making it hard for Charizard to stay in the air, so we crash landed. 20 minutes later we woke up and found ourselves in a beautiful clearing surrounded by trees and the open sky" Red says as Ash speaks.

"So, this place?" Ash asks with Red nodding as he speaks.

"Yep, exactly when Charizard and I landed here for some reason it felt calmer. It felt like I could just relax and get rid of all of the stress and anxiety I had. But while I was relaxing, I replayed the battles I had in my head and noticed that the reason why I lost was because of how overconfident I was. So, after I realized that my Pokémon and I had an intense training session coming up with multiple strategies, bonding more with my Pokémon and thinking of different ways to get stronger. Then after 2 weeks of doing that my Pokémon and I felt ready. I went back to the others I sincerely apologized for my rude behavior and for being gone for 2 weeks. Then after that was done it was time for the league, I noticed that after getting rid of my overconfidence I started to win my battles. I kept winning battle after battle until I reached the finals and had to face Blue again." Red says Ash continues to listen closely as Red continues to speak.

"When me and Blue started battling it was intense with the both of us giving everything we had. We kept battling until we both had one Pokémon left being our starters Charizard and Blastoise. The battle lasted a long time with neither one of our Pokémon wanting to lose. Then when the battle was reaching its conclusion Charizard suffered great damage from Blastoise's Hydro Pump it looked like I was going to lose but Charizard managed to learn Inferno which knocked out Blastoise and allowed me to win the league" Red says with Ash nodding as Red continues to speak.

"After that I defeated the Elite 4 and became the champion, but I didn't want the champion title as I wanted to continue traveling. So, afterwards I started traveling to multiple different places and battled many trainers. Sometimes I would win and sometimes I would lose but I didn't mind losing as it helped me grow more as not only a trainer but also as a person" Red says with Ash nodding as Red then looks at Ash and speaks.

"So, what're your thoughts" Red asks as Ash speaks.


"My thoughts? Well, I guess what you're trying to tell me is that even though I lost today it's a great learning experience and will help me grow stronger" Ash asks with Red nodding as Ash speaks.

"But I already knew that and besides I've battled Paul before I lost to him once and defeated him once, so I should've won yesterday" Ash says as Red speaks.

"Hmmm you mentioned that you beat Paul before, yes? Then don't you think that Paul learned from his mistakes last time and decided to do things differently when battling you yesterday?" Red asks surprising Ash he begins to think as Red speaks.

"Also, during your battles in the league, I noticed that Paul was watching all of them, so he was probably thinking of different strategies for each of the Pokémon you'd use against him" Red says with Ash nodding as he speaks.

"That does make since" Ash says Red then walks over to Ash once he's close enough he speaks.

"Paul may not say it but even though he doesn't agree with your training methods he most likely respects you as a strong trainer. So, even though you lost against him this time the next time you battle him you'll win I know for sure" Red says while smiling and giving Ash a thumbs up. Ash looks at his father smiles and speaks.

"Yeah, your right dad I may've lost today but this will only help me improve more and next time I battle Paul I'll win for sure. And then I'll continue my goal on becoming a Pokémon Master!" Ash says while having a determined look on his face Red looks at Ash and smiles as he speaks.

"Looks like you're back to your old self again" Red says with Ash nodding as Red continues to speak.

"Now before we go there's one more thing we need to do" Red says making Ash confused as Red turns around and looks at the sky. Red takes a deep breath and yells.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Red lets out a loud yell that startles Ash and scares some of the nearby Pokémon as Ash speaks.

"Dad why're you yelling?!" Ash asks as Red speaks.

"Oh, yelling out your feelings is another good way to let out all of your stress come on give it a try" Red says making Ash confused, but he shrugs his shoulders. Ash walks next to Red takes a deep breath and yells.

"AHHHHH!" Ash yells as Red speaks.

"No, no do it more with your chest like this AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Red says with Ash nodding. Ash takes a deep breath then yells.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ash yells also scaring some of the nearby Pokémon making Red smile as he speaks.

"Yeah, there you go" Red says with Ash nodding as they both continue to yell. The two of them keep yelling for 10 minutes straight until they lay down on the ground panting heavily while having smiles on their faces. Red then looks at Ash and speaks.

"So, you feel better?" Red asks as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, I do" Ash responds while smiling with Red nodding. A few seconds later Ash and Red stand back up Red pulls out Charizard's Pokeball and throws it sending the fire lizard back out. Red then looks at Ash and speaks.

"Alright you already to go?" Red asks with Ash nodding. The two of them then get on Charizard's back and start flying back to the indigo plateau. 2 minutes later they make it back as Charizard goes to land at the league entrance they see everyone there. When Charizard lands Red and Ash thank the fire lizard with Charizard nodding as it goes back in its Pokeball. Everyone else then run over to them Delia looks at them and speaks.


"Red, Ash where have you two been? you've had us worried" Delia asks while having an angry look on her face as Red speaks.

"Oh, nowhere special we were just having some father and son bonding time right Ash" Red asks with Ash nodding making Delia confused. Ash then looks at his friends along with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie then walks over to them. When Ash gets close enough, he looks at his friends and begins to speak.

"Hey guys I just want to say I'm sorry" Ash says surprising his friends as he continues to speak.

"It wasn't right for me to be rude to you guys I know that you were trying to help but I was just letting my anger take control instead and I understand if you guys don't forgive me" Ash says apologetically while looking at his friends. The group all look at each other for a few seconds and smile as Brock speaks.

"Of course, we forgive you Ash if anything we should be the ones saying sorry for not giving you the space you needed" Brock says with the group nodding surprising Ash as he speaks.

"Really? Even you Giselle?" Ash asks as Giselle speaks.

"I'll admit I was a bit surprised that you knocked the plate out of my hand, but I realized that you were under a lot of stress and just wanted to be left alone" Giselle responds making Ash happy. Giselle then wraps her arms around Ash's left arm, looks at him and speaks.

"Also, I kind of like that forceful side of you" Giselle says while looking at Ash making the boy uncomfortable. Croagunk then appears from Brock's Pokeball and jabs Giselle's left leg stunning her and making her fall on the ground paralyzed as she speaks.

"Hey, you're supposed to do this to Brock and Joe not me" Giselle says but Croagunk shrugs his shoulders making everyone laugh. Ash then stops laughing as he looks at Misty. The red head looks at Ash then quickly turns her head away from him as Ash walks over. When Ash's close enough he looks at her as Misty speaks.

"If you've something to say then say it" Misty says she continues to look away as Ash takes a deep breath and speaks.

"Misty about what I said to you earlier today I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to say that, and you were right I was being a total jerk" Ash says apologetically Misty looks at him smiles and speaks.

"Well looks like you can be nice after all" Misty says in a mocking tone making Ash annoyed as Misty speaks.

"But since you're apologizing, I'll apologize too. I have been traveling with you for a long time now, so I should've known that you needed your space I'm sorry Ash" Misty says making Ash happy as he speaks.

"Whoa thanks Misty and from here on out let's promise to never fight again" Ash says as Misty speaks.

"I'm pretty confident that, that won't last long knowing you, but I agree" Misty says as Ash speaks.

"What do you mean by that?!" Ash asks in annoyance as Misty speaks.

"Oh, you know" Misty says as she begins listing off Ash's annoying traits making Ash annoyed as he starts to list off Misty's annoying traits too making the girl angry. The two of them then start to get into an argument while everyone looks at them and smile as Brock speaks.

"Sigh I'll stop them" Brock says as he walks over to them Delia then looks at Red and speaks.

"Don't you think they kind of remind you of us when we were young?" Delia asks as Red speaks.

"Yeah, you were always bossy" Red says jokingly making Delia pout as she turns away making Red confused while Leaf and Rose shake their heads in disappointment. Meanwhile after Brock makes Ash and Misty stop arguing everyone then hear a voice.

"Will contestants Harrison and Paul please come to the battlefield!" The voice says as Ritchie speaks.

"Looks like it's finally time" Ritchie says with the others nodding as Ash speaks.

"Come on let's go cheer for Harrison" Ash says with everyone nodding as they quickly begin running back to the stadium.


10 minutes later the group is in the crowd, they look at the battlefield and see Harrison along with Paul on their respective sides. The ref has already explained the rules and the battlefield they'll battle on is the plain battlefield. Everyone's eyes are glued to the battlefield waiting for it to begin as Joe speaks.

"This is it the final battle" Joe says as Jackie speaks.

"Hopefully Harrison can win" Jackie says with the others nodding. Ash then looks at Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie then speaks.

"Let's make sure we observe carefully" Ash says with the 3-mons nodding as the ref speaks.

"Now then will both trainers please send out your first Pokémon!" The ref calls as Harrison and Paul throw their Pokeballs forward and speak.

"Go Exploud!" "Ursaring stand by for battle!" Both trainers say the first one to appear is Paul's Ursaring who lets out a mighty roar. Harrison's Pokémon appears next it's a blue bipedal Pokémon with a large mouth, red eyes and two tails. When the mon appears, it lets out a mighty roar too then stares at Ursaring with Ursaring staring back. In the stands Ritchie speaks.

"So, it's a battle between Exploud and Ursaring first" Ritchie says as Ash and Leaf take out their Pokedex's to scan Exploud.

"Exploud, the Loud Noise Pokémon a pure Normal Type. Exploud is able to incite earthquakes with its powerful voice. Once it sucks in air through the holes all over its body, a loud attack is sure to follow." The Pokedex says. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to begin as Harrison makes the first move.

"Exploud use Screech!" Harrison calls Exploud lets out a loud Screech it heads for Ursaring as Paul speaks.

"Dodge use Swords Dance then Hammer Arm!" Paul calls Ursaring narrowly dodges the Screech by moving to the right. Ursaring roars as it sharply increases its attack power it then covers both of its arms in white energy and shoots forward going to hit Exploud as Harrison speaks.

"Exploud stand your ground!" Harrison calls with Exploud nodding when Ursaring goes to hit Exploud with its right arm the loud noise Pokémon catches it with its left hand. Ursaring then goes to hit Exploud with its left arm, but Exploud catches it with its right hand. The two mons are now locked in a grapple Ursaring tries its best to push Exploud down, but the loud noise Pokemon stands strong not moving an inch as Paul speaks.

"Ursaring use Low Kick!" "Back away Exploud then use Boomburst!" Both trainers call Ursaring goes to kick Exploud but the loud noise Pokémon quickly jumps back avoiding the move. Once Exploud lands it lets out a mighty roar and fires a big wave of sound that heads for Ursaring as Paul speaks.

"Ursaring destroy it with Hammer Arm!" Paul calls Ursaring roars as it raises up its arms and slams them down on the Boomburst easily destroying it. When that happens Exploud appears in front of the bear as Paul speaks.

"Ursaring use Brick Break!" "Dodge Exploud and when you see an opening use Rock Smash!" Both trainers call Ursaring roars it covers its claws in white energy and goes to hit Exploud. As Ursaring tries to hit it Exploud dodges Ursaring keeps trying but Exploud continues to dodge. Exploud then sees an opening it covers its right fist in red energy and punches Ursaring hard in the stomach. Ursaring coughs in pain as it's sent flying a few feet away landing on its back. A few seconds later Ursaring stands back up it's groaning in pain as Harrison speaks.

"Now Boomburst!" Harrison calls Exploud roars it fires the big wave of sound that heads for Ursaring as Paul speaks.

"Jump in the air to dodge Ursaring then use Focus Blast!" Paul calls Ursaring quickly jumps in the air avoiding the wave of sound. Ursaring then puts its hands together creates a ball of fighting energy and shoots it at Exploud. As the Focus Blast is about to hit Exploud Harrison speaks.

"Punch it back with Rock Smash!" Harrison calls Exploud covers its right fist in red energy and collides with the Focus Blast. The Focus Blast pushes Exploud back a little bit but the loud noise Pokemon roars and successfully punches the move back. Paul's unable to tell Ursaring to dodge in time as the Focus Blast hits it creating an explosion. Ursaring then begins to fall from the sky as Harrison speaks.

"Now Hyper Beam!" Harrison calls Exploud roars as it fires a big beam. Before Ursaring hits the ground, the Hyper Beam hits the bear, pushing it pass Paul and makes it hit the wall behind him creating an explosion. When the explosion clears everyone looks at Ursaring and see that it's knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Ursaring's unable to battle Exploud's the winner!" The ref calls Harrison and Exploud cheer in victory while the crowd claps for them. Meanwhile in the stands Joe speaks.

"Wow Harrison took out one of Paul's Pokémon already?" Joe says as Ritchie speaks.

"Yep, and he hasn't even gotten serious yet" Ritchie says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Paul returns Ursaring back to its Pokeball and puts it in his pocket. Paul then looks forward, brings out his next Pokeball throws it and speaks.

"Grapploct stand by for battle!" Paul says he throws the ball forward as a shiny Grapploct appears. The mon has a serious look on its face, it looks at Exploud and gets in a battle stance with Exploud doing the same. Back in the stands Misty speaks.

"So, a Grapploct's Paul's next choice it looks as strong as Bea's" Misty says with Ash and Brock nodding. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Harrison makes the first move.

"Exploud use Screech!" Harrison calls Exploud roars it fires the loud ear-piercing Screech as Paul speaks.

"Use Detect to dodge then use Octolock!" Paul calls with Grapploct nodding its eye shines as it easily evades the Screech by moving to the side. Grapploct then shoots forward reaching Exploud in an instant. Grapploct then wraps its tentacles all around Exploud's body then pins it down on the ground. Exploud feels its defense and special defense decreasing as Harrison speaks.

"Exploud use Strength to break free!" "Grapploct use Close Combat!" Both trainers call before Exploud can use Strength Grapploct begins to hit Exploud with its tentacles repeatedly. Exploud groans in pain while Grapploct continues to punch the mon as Harrison speaks.

"Exploud use Screech!" "Grapploct back away!" Both trainers call when Exploud fires the Screech Grapploct quickly let's go and backs away landing a few feet away. Exploud then stands up and begins to take in more air with its holes as Harrison speaks.

"Now Boomburst!" Harrison calls Exploud roars as it fires a large Boomburst that heads for Grapploct as Paul speaks.

"Use Power Up Punch!" Paul calls Grapploct's tentacles glow orange then shoots forward and collides with the Boomburst. The Boomburst pushes Grapploct back a little bit, but the octopus begins to rapidly punch the move easily destroying it surprising Harrison and Exploud. Grapploct then punches the Boomburst one more time and completely destroys it. Grapploct feels its attack power increase as Harrison speaks.

"Exploud use Hyper Beam!" "Dodge Grapploct then use Circle Throw!" Both trainers call Exploud fires the beam, but Grapploct easily dodges, Grapploct then shoots forward and grabs Exploud again. Grapploct begins spinning Exploud around in a circle until it lets go of it making it crash into the wall behind Harrison. Harrison looks back and sees Exploud fall on the ground knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Exploud's unable to battle Grapploct's the winner!" The ref calls with Paul and Grapploct nodding. Back in the stands Leaf speaks.

"And now Harrison's lost a Pokémon" Leaf says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Harrison returns Exploud to its Pokeball and thanks it. Harrison looks forward, pulls out his next Pokeball and speaks.


"Go! Hariyama!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as his Hariyama appears. The sumo Pokémon has a serious look on its face, it looks at Grapploct and gets in a battle stance with Grapploct doing the same. Back in the stands Jackie speaks.

"I wasn't expecting Harrison to bring in Hariyama so soon" Jackie says as Brock speaks.

"Harrison knows that Paul's a strong trainer so he's not going to hold back" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul speaks.

"Use Bulk Up then Octolock!" "Paul calls Grapploct bulks up its body increasing its attack/defense. Grapploct then shoots forward going to grab Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama use Force Palm!" "Grapploct use Detect!" Both trainers call Hariyamas right palm glows white and goes to hit Grapploct. But Grapploct easily evades with Detect and is now on Hariyama's left side. Grapploct goes to grab Hariyama again as Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama back away then use Dynamic Punch!" Harrison calls when Grapploct's about to grab Hariyama the sumo Pokemon quickly backs away making Grapploct miss. Hariyamas right fist glows white and uppercuts Grapploct sending the octopus high into the air. Hariyama then jumps after Grapploct reaching it instantly as Paul speaks.

"Use Octolock now!" "Hariyama dodge then use Seismic Toss!" Both trainers call Grapploct goes to grab Hariyama again but the sumo Pokemon dodges. Hariyama then grabs one of Grapploct's tentacles and begins spinning it fast. Once Hariyama's done spinning it throws Grapploct making it crash on the battlefield. Grapploct then stands up groaning in pain it looks to the sky and sees Hariyama falling towards it at a fast speed as Harrison speaks.

"Now use Body Press!" "Grapploct use Detect to dodge!" Both trainers call Grapploct can't use Detect in time as Hariyama crashes down hard on the octopus shaking the battlefield and creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone sees Hariyama stand up and reveals an unconscious Grapploct as the ref speaks.

"Grapploct's unable to battle Hariyama's the winner!" The ref calls Harrison and Hariyama smile while the crowd cheers. Paul's a little surprised that Grapploct got defeated quickly but recomposes himself and returns the octopus. Paul then pulls out his next Pokeball throws it and speaks.

"Garchomp stand by for battle!" Paul says as his shiny Garchomp appears. The land shark lands on the battlefield letting out a mighty roar creating a shockwave. Once Garchomp's done roaring it looks at Hariyama and gets into a battle stance with Hariyama doing the same. Back in the stands AJ speaks.

"So, Paul's brought in his Garchomp next" AJ says as Brock speaks.

"Seeing as Hariyama defeated Grapploct quickly Paul probably brought in Garchomp so that it could match Hariyama's power" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul speaks.

"Garchomp use Swords Dance then Dragon Rush!" "Hariyama use Bulk Up and block it!" Both trainers' call. Garchomp lets out a mighty roar increasing its attack power sharply, it then covers its body in dragon energy and quickly flies at Hariyama. Hariyama bulks up its body increasing its attack/defense it points its hands forward as Garchomp connects. Garchomp begins trying to push Hariyama back and moves it back a couple of feet. Garchomp then tries to break through Hariyama's hands, but the sumo Pokemon stands strong. As Garchomp and Hariyama continue to push each other Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama use Ice Punch!" Harrison calls before Paul can make a command Hariyama lets go of Garchomp quickly covers its left fist in ice and punches Garchomp hard in the stomach. Garchomp coughs in pain as it's sent flying back a few feet away and lands on its back. Garchomp's groaning in pain from the super effective hit but stands back up and glares at Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"It really is tough" Harrison says to himself he then pulls out Hariyama's Pokeball and speaks.

"Hariyama return!" Harrison says with the sumo Pokémon nodding as it goes back in its Pokeball. Harrison then grabs another Pokeball and speaks.

"Lapras Go!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as his Lapras appears. The mon roars and has a serious look on its face. Back in the stands Ash and Leaf pull out their Pokedex's.

"Lapras the transport Pokémon a Water/Ice type. This intellectually advanced Pokémon is able to understand human speech. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in Pokémon battles." The Pokedex says as Joe speaks.

"Wow that's one big Lapras" Joe says as Ritchie speaks.

"Yeah, and I can feel that it's gotten a lot stronger than when I battled it before right Sparky" Ritchie says with Sparky nodding. Back on the battlefield Lapras and Garchomp continue to look at each other, Paul wants to keep Garchomp in to deal damage to Lapras but quickly realizes that it would be a mistake. Paul pulls out Garchomp's Pokeball and speaks.

"Garchomp return!" Paul says with the land shark nodding going back in its Pokeball. Paul then grabs another Pokeball he throws it forward and speaks.

"Eelektross stand by for battle!" Paul says as an eel like Pokémon appears. It lands on the battlefield, looks at Lapras and sparks its body a little bit. Back in the stands Ash speaks.

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

"Eelektross, the EleFish Pokémon a pure Electric Type and the fully evolved form of Eelektrik. Eelektross's mouth locks onto its opponents, where upon it delivers an electric shock." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.

"So, his Eelektrik evolved" Ash says to himself, back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul makes the first move.

"Use Electric Terrian then Thunder times 4!" Paul calls the electric eel roars as it covers the battlefield with electricity powering up its electric type moves. Eelektross's body begins sparking more as it roars to the sky and summons 4 large Thunders that head for Lapras as Harrison speaks.

"Lapras counter with Sheer Cold!" Harrison calls Lapras looks upward and roars as it fires a big wave of ice that connects with the 4 Thunders. The 4 electric bolts try to push through the Sheer Cold but are unable to as the ice move easily freezes the 4 electric bolts. The crowd is surprised that Harrison's Lapras managed to freeze 4 Thunders, but Paul isn't. Eelektross instantly appears in front of Lapras its body begins to spark as Paul calls for a command.

"Now use Thunder Wave then Thunder!" Paul calls the electric eel, fires a few electric rings that hit Lapras successfully paralyzing it. Eelektross's body continues to spark more as it summons a large Thunder that comes crashing down on Lapras. Lapras cries out in pain from the super effective move, Lapras then looks at Eelektross and opens its mouth as Harrison speaks.

"Now use Blizzard!" "Dodge!" Both trainers call Eelektross is unable to dodge in time as Lapras fires a big Blizzard that hits the electric eel causing damage to it and freezing it. The frozen eel falls on the battlefield while Lapras pants a little bit it then looks at the eel as Harrison speaks.

"Lapras finish it off with Body Slam!" Harrison calls Lapras jumps forward going to hit the frozen eel as Paul speaks.

"Use Flamethrower to break free then dodge!" Paul calls the frozen eel quickly fires the stream of fire easily melting the ice. Eelektross looks up at Lapras then quickly dodges by flying in the air as Lapras lands on the battlefield. Eelektross begins to spark its body more as Paul speaks.

"Now use Thunder times 4!" Paul calls Eelektross roars as it summons 4 large Thunders from the sky. Harrison calls for Lapras to counter with Sheer Cold, but Lapras is unable to as it becomes paralyzed. The 4 Thunders then come crashing down on Lapras causing super effective damage and making it cry out in pain until there's an explosion as Harrison speaks.

"Lapras!" Harrison calls in concern as a few seconds later when the smoke clears everyone sees Lapras laying on its stomach knocked out. The Electric Terrian disappears while Eelektross lands back on the battlefield as the ref speaks.

"Lapris is unable to battle Eelektross is the winner!" The ref calls Eelektross and Paul nod while the crowd claps for them. Harrison returns Lapris he looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thank you Lapras take a good rest" Harrison says as he puts the ball away. Harrison pulls out another Pokeball and speaks.


"Go! Inteleon!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as a tall bipedal blue lizard like Pokémon appears. The mon looks at Eelektross and gets in a battle stance with the electric eel doing the same. Back in the stands Ritchie's speaks.

"Whoa I didn't know that Harrison had an Inteleon" Ritchie says as Ash and Leaf take out their Pokedex's.

"Inteleon, the Secret Agent Pokémon a Water type and the fully evolved form of Drizzle. Inteleon has many capabilities hidden all over its body. It can shoot water from its fingers and glide using a membrane on its back." The Pokedex says as Misty speaks.

"So that's Sobble's fully evolved form what do you think Sobble?" Misty asks as Sobble looks at the mon curiously. Back on the battlefield Paul speaks.

"Really, you're sending in a water type against my electric type? I thought you were a lot smarter" Paul says as Harrison speaks.

"Honestly I think it's a great idea and Inteleon will show you" Harrison says with Inteleon nodding. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul speaks.

"Eelektross end it with Thunder!" Paul calls Eelektross begins to spark its body as Harrison speaks.

"Use Sucker Punch!" Harrison calls Inteleon disappears then reappears in front of Eelektross surprising the electric eel. Inteleon covers its right fist in dark energy and punches Eelektross across the face causing some damage to the eel as Paul speaks.

"Use Charge Beam!" "Dodge Inteleon then use Snipe Shot!" Both trainers call Eelektross fires the electric beam, but Inteleon narrowly dodges by doing a midair back flip. Inteleon points its right index finger forward covers it with water and shoots out a water bullet that hits Eelektross in the face. Eelektross is pushed back a few feet it groans in pain then looks at Inteleon who landed back on the ground as Paul calls for his next command.

"Eelektross use Electric Terrian then use Thunder Times 4!" Paul calls Eelektross begins sparking its body it goes to summon the Electric Terrian as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon use Dark Pulse!" Harrison calls Inteleon points its left index finger forward and fires the stream of energy. The Dark Pulse travels down the battlefield it goes to hit Eelektross as Paul speaks.

"Jump in the air to dodge then use Charge Beam!" "Inteleon counter with Dark Pulse!" Both trainers call Eelektross quickly jumps in the air avoiding the Dark Pulse. Eelektross then fires an electric beam from its mouth that heads for Inteleon. Inteleon then points its left Index finger forward and fires another Dark Pulse. The two moves collide and begin pushing each other back and forth seeing who's stronger. As the two beams continue to fight Inteleon points its right Index finger forward as Harrison speaks.

"Now fire another Dark Pulse!" Harrison calls surprising Paul as Inteleon quickly fires another Dark Pulse and hits Eelektross making it lose its concentration. When Eelektross's Charge Beam goes away it allows the other Dark Pulse to hit Eelektross too causing damage and creating an explosion. A few seconds later Eelektross falls on the battlefield landing on its back groaning in pain. Back in the stands AJ speaks.

"I wasn't expecting it to fire two Dark Pulses at once" AJ says as Brock speaks.

"Harrison must've done a lot of training with his Inteleon so it could do that" Brock says with the group nodding. Misty's Sobble continues to look at Inteleon, back on the battlefield Eelektross struggles to stand up while Inteleon dashes forward going to attack it as Paul speaks.

"Eelektross quick use Discharge!" Paul calls Eelektross tries to move but's unable to as it's now flinching which shocks Paul as Inteleon reaches the electric eel it gets its fists ready as Harrison speaks.

"Use Liquidation!" Harrison calls as Inteleon covers its fists/feet in water and begins to punch/kick Eelektross repeatedly. Inteleon then punches Eelektross in the face one more time making the electric eel back away a few feet groaning in pain. Inteleon then runs forward again as Paul speaks.

"Use Thunder times 4!" Paul calls Eelektross roars to the sky as it summons 4 large Thunders that head for Inteleon. Inteleon looks at the sky and sees the Thunders heading for it as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon run forward and avoid the Thunders!" Harrison calls Inteleon nods as it shoots forward. Inteleon begins to easily maneuver the 4 Thunders as Paul speaks.

"Hit it Eelektross!" Paul calls the electric eel nods it begins to control its Thunders but is still unable to hit Inteleon making Paul and Eelektross annoyed a little bit while Harrison smiles. Back in the stands Misty speaks.

"Harrison's Inteleon is very light on its feet" Misty says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Inteleon continues to dodge the Thunders and is now getting closer to Eelektross as Paul calls for a command.

"Use Discharge!" "Inteleon use Tearful Look!" Both trainers call before Eelektross can use Discharge Inteleon gives the electric eel a tearful look making Eelektross stop its advances. Eelektross feels its attack/special attack decrease as Harrison speaks.

"Now use Liquidation!" Harrison calls before Paul can make a command Inteleon covers its right fist in water and punches Eelektross hard in the face making the electric eel skid back a few feet. Inteleon then starts running towards Eelektross as Paul speaks.

"Use Charge Beam!" "Jump Inteleon and use Snipe Shot!" Both trainers call Eelektross quickly fires the electric beam, but Inteleon jumps in the air avoiding the attack. Inteleon jumps over Eelektross getting behind the electric eel and has its right Index finger pointed at the back of Eelecktross's head. Before Paul can make a command Inteleon fires the water bullet at the back of Eelektross's head causing damage and landing a critical hit. Inteleon then lands safely back on the ground while Eelektross falls down laying on its stomach knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Eelektross is unable to battle Inteleon's the winner!" The ref calls Harrison and Inteleon cheer in victory along with the crowd. Paul's a little surprised that Eelektross was defeated but recomposes himself and returns the mon back to its Pokeball. Back in the stands Jackie speaks.

"Wow Inteleon defeated Eelektross without getting hit once" Jackie says as Brock speaks.

"Inteleon's are known to be very agile Pokémon so I guess the reason why Harrison sent it in was so it could avoid Eelektross's attacks easily" Brock says as Ritchie speaks.

"Not only that but Harrison's Inteleon probably has the Sniper ability giving it a higher chance to land critical hits" Ritchie says with the group nodding. Misty then looks at Sobble and sees how amazed it is by its final evolution. Back on the battlefield Harrison returns Inteleon to its Pokeball telling it good job he then brings out another Pokeball and speaks.


"Go! Hariyama!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as Hariyama comes back out. Paul pulls out his next Pokeball he throws it forward and speaks.

"Nidoking stand by for battle!" Paul says as his Nidoking appears. Nidoking lets out a mighty roar it then looks at Hariyama and gets into a battle stance with Hariyama looking at it. Back in the stands Joe speaks.

"So now it's a battle between Hariyama and Nidoking" Joe says as Brock speaks.

"Both Pokemon are powerhouses I'm interested in seeing how this battle goes" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul makes the first move.

"Use Earth Power!" Paul calls Nidoking punches the ground with its right fist creating a large crack that heads for Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama counter with Brick Break!" Harrison calls Hariyama raises its right hand covers it in white energy and chops it down on the battlefield stopping the Earth Power. The people in the crowd are surprised while Paul isn't fazed as Nidoking instantly appears in front of Hariyama and Paul calls for a command.

"Use Toxic!" Paul calls Nidoking spits out the blob of poison it goes to hit Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Use Detect then Ice Punch!" Harrison calls surprising Paul as Hariyama's eye quickly shines allowing it to bend backwards avoiding the move. Hariyama then covers its right fist in ice and punches Nidoking hard in the face causing super effective damage and sending it flying. Nidoking lands back on the battlefield a few feet away landing on its back groaning in pain as Harrison speaks.

"Way to go Hariyama!" Harrison cheers with Hariyama nodding. Hariyama then begins to cough as it's now poisoned. Harrison has a surprised look on his face and speaks.

"So, his Nidoking has the Poison Point ability I should've known" Harrison says to himself while Paul smirks then calls for his next command.

"Now use Sludge Bomb!" Paul calls Nidoking quickly stands back up takes a deep breath then fires multiple bombs of sludge at Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama block with your hands!" Harrison calls Hariyama points its hands forward as it begins blocking the bombs of sludge. While Hariyama keeps blocking Nidoking quickly appears on the sumo Pokémon's left side surprising it and Harrison as Paul speaks.

"Now use Venoshock!" "Hariyama quick use Detect!" Both trainers call Nidoking fires the stream of poison when Hariyama goes to use Detect it begins to cough suffering poison damage. The Venoshock then hits Hariyama causing major damage and making the sumo fall on the battlefield landing on its back groaning in pain as Paul speaks.

"Now Nidoking use Horn Drill!" Paul calls Nidoking roars it jumps high in the air its horn grows longer then falls towards Hariyama and begins to spin. Hariyama looks at the sky and sees Nidoking coming it's getting closer and closer. As Nidoking's just inches away from hitting Hariyama Harrison smiles and speaks.

"Use Surf!" Harrison calls "What?!" Paul says in shock as Hariyama summons a large wave of water that consumes Nidoking. Nidoking tries its best to fight through it but is unable to as the Surf is causing super effective damage and sends it a few feet away. When the Surf disappears Nidoking's laying on its stomach groaning in pain while Hariyama stands back up as Harrison calls for a command.

"Hariyama quick use Body Press!" Harrison calls Hariyama groans from poison damage but quickly jumps forward going to hit Nidoking as Paul speaks.

"Nidoking use Dig!" Paul calls Nidoking groans in pain but quickly digs underground avoiding Hariyama's attack and letting the sumo mon hit the battlefield instead. When Hariyama stands back up Nidoking appears behind it as Paul speaks.

"Now use Venoshock!" "Hariyama use Arm Thrust!" Both trainers call Nidoking fires the stream of poison while Hariyama quickly brings up its palms and begins hitting the Venoshock. While Hariyama's trying to push the Venoshock back it suffers from poison damage again making it slow down as Paul speaks.

"Do it now Nidoking!" Paul calls with Nidoking nodding as it begins to increase the power of its Venoshock making it more difficult for Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Come on Hariyama you're not done yet keep using Arm Thrust and destroy that Venoshock!" Harrison calls with Hariyama nodding as it begins to thrust its arms faster blowing the Venoshock away. Hariyama continues to suffer from poison damage but doesn't care it keeps going until it completely destroys the Venoshock and is now in front of Nidoking. Nidoking and Paul have surprised looks on their faces while Hariyama begins to cover its left fist in ice as Harrison speaks.

"Now use Ice Punch!" "Dodge Nidoking!" Both trainers call Nidoking's unable to dodge in time as Hariyama punches Nidoking hard in the stomach making the drill Pokémon cough in pain. Nidoking's then sent flying and crashes below Paul's feet creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone can see Nidoking laying on its back knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Nidoking's unable to battle Hariyama's the winner!" The ref calls Harrison and Hariyama cheer while the crowd claps for them. Paul returns Nidoking back to its Pokeball and puts it back in his pocket. Back in the stands AJ speaks.

"Nice Harrison defeated another one of Paul's Pokémon" AJ says as Giselle speaks.

"And now Paul has two Pokémon left while Harrison has 4, Harrison can win this" Giselle says with Joe, AJ and Jackie nodding as Brock speaks.

"That's true but look Paul's still calm" Brock says as everyone looks at Paul and see that he has a calm expression on his face as Harrison speaks.

"I'm surprised that you're so calm since you've only two Pokémon left" Harrison says as Paul speaks.

"That's because I'm confident that my last two can take down the rest of your Pokémon" Paul responds as he pulls out his next Pokeball and speaks.


"Garchomp stand by for battle!" Paul says he throws the ball forward as his shiny Garchomp appears. The land shark lands on the battlefield and lets out a mighty roar ready to continue as Harrison speaks.

"So, Garchomp's back in" Harrison says he then looks at Hariyama and sees it groaning from poison damage. Harrison pulls out Hariyama's Pokeball and speaks.

"Hariyama return!" Harrison says with the sumo nodding as it goes back in its Pokeball. Harrison pulls out his next Pokeball and goes to throw it.

"Go! Inteleon!" Harrison says bringing the water lizard back in it glares at Garchomp with Garchomp glaring back. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Harrison makes the first move.

"Use Ice Beam!" Harrison calls Inteleon points its right finger forward and fires the icy beam as Paul speaks.

"Counter with Fire Blast!" Paul calls Garchomp heats up its mouth and fires the big blast of fire. The Fire Blast easily goes through the icy beam and heads for Inteleon as Harrison speaks.

"Punch it back with Liquidation!" Harrison calls Inteleon quickly covers its left fist in water and punches the Fire Blast. The blast of fire tries to push Inteleon back, but the water lizard successfully punches it back at Garchomp as Paul speaks.

"Destroy it with Dragon Claw!" Paul calls Garchomp covers its right claw in dragon energy and slashes the Fire Blast in half destroying the move. Garchomp then sees Inteleon pointing its right finger forward as Harrison speaks.

"Use Ice Beam!" "Dodge Garchomp then use Scale Shot!" Both trainers call Inteleon fires the icy beam it heads for Garchomp but the land shark quickly flies in the air avoiding the move. Garchomp then begins to fire multiple black/white scales at Inteleon as Harrison speaks.

"Dodge Inteleon!" Harrison calls with Inteleon nodding as it begins to run around the battlefield doing its best to dodge the scales as Inteleon keeps dodging Paul speaks.

"Now use Stone Edge!" Paul calls Garchomp roars as it creates multiple large sharp stones around it and fires them at Inteleon as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon use Liquidation!" Harrison calls Inteleon covers its fists, feet, and tail in water then begins to start punching/kicking the sharp stones easily destroying them. As Inteleon continues to destroy the Stone Edge Paul calls for a command.

"Now use Dragon Rush!" Paul calls Garchomp roars it covers its body in dragon energy and flies towards Inteleon going to hit it as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon jump back to dodge then use Ice Beam!" Harrison calls when Garchomp's about to hit Inteleon the water lizard quickly jumps back avoiding the attack and letting Garchomp hit the battlefield instead. When Garchomp stands up it shakes its head then looks over at Inteleon and sees it fire an icy beam from its right finger as Paul speaks.

"Dodge Garchomp!" Paul calls Garchomp quickly jumps to the right avoiding the icy beam. Garchomp then sees Inteleon charging up another Ice Beam with its left finger as Harrison speaks.

"Fire Inteleon!" "Garchomp use Sandstorm then Swords Dance!" Both trainers' call Inteleon fires the Ice Beam it goes to hit Garchomp but the land shark lets out a mighty roar summoning a large sandstorm and sharply increases its attack power. The sandstorm covers the battlefield gets rid of Inteleon's Ice Beam and hides Garchomp. Inteleon suffers some damage from the sandstorm but is fine it then begins looking for Garchomp as Paul speaks.

"Use Stone Edge!" Paul calls as a large sharp stone appears and heads for Inteleon Harrison quickly makes a command.

"Inteleon use Hydro Pump!" Harrison calls Inteleon points its right finger forward and shoots out a large stream of water that connects with the Stone Edge, but the sharp stone easily cuts through it and continues heading for Inteleon as Harrison speaks.

"Dodge Inteleon!" Harrison calls Inteleon quickly jumps back avoiding the sharp stone, once it lands Paul speaks.

"Now Dragon Rush!" Paul calls as Garchomp appears behind Inteleon and hits it in the back causing damage and sending Inteleon flying a few feet away. Inteleon lands on its stomach groaning in pain it then quickly stands up and turns around, but Garchomp's already gone. Inteleon then continues to look for Garchomp waiting for it to appear again but suffers from sandstorm damage as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon use Rain Dance to get rid of the Sandstorm!" Harrison calls Inteleon nods it looks at the sky and yells summoning the rain. The rain gets rid of the sandstorm clearing the battlefield once it does everyone can see that Garchomp's nowhere to be seen. As Harrison and Inteleon begin looking for it Inteleon feels something underneath it with Harrison noticing too as he speaks.

"Inteleon jump out of the way!" "Too late use Dragon Rush!" Both trainers call before Inteleon can jump out of the way Garchomp bursts from the ground and hits Inteleon launching the water lizard high in the air. As they continue to go higher Inteleon manages to jump away from Garchomp but begins to fall towards the battlefield with Garchomp going after it as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon use Ice Beam!" Harrison calls Inteleon points its right finger forward and fires the icy beam it heads for Garchomp as Paul speaks.

"Use Crunch then Dragon Rush and Thunder Fang!" Paul calls Garchomp covers its teeth in dark energy and bites down on the icy beam easily destroying it. Garchomp then covers its body in dragon energy speeds up more and hits Inteleon making the water lizard cough in pain. Garchomp covers its teeth in electricity and bites down hard on Inteleon causing super effective damage. The two mons then come crashing back down on the battlefield creating an explosion as Harrison speaks.

"Inteleon!" Harrison calls when he does the smoke clears as everyone sees Garchomp standing while looking at an unconscious Inteleon who's laying on its back the ref then speaks.

"Inteleon's unable to battle Garchomp's the winner!" The ref calls Garchomp roars in victory while Paul nods and the Rain Dance goes away. Back in the stands Brock speaks.

"I see so Paul set up the sandstorm to hinder Inteleon's vision and do some damage to it with the sand. The sandstorm also activated Garchomp's Sand Rush ability to increase Garchomp's speed making it harder for Inteleon to keep track of Garchomp. Then when Harrison had Inteleon clear the sandstorm with Rain Dance Paul had Garchomp use dig so that they could surprise Inteleon" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Harrison returns Inteleon back to its Pokeball he then looks at the ball and speaks.

"Thanks, Inteleon take a good rest" Harrison says as he puts the ball back in his pocket. Harrison then looks forward looking at Paul and Garchomp then speaks.

"I've to say Paul your Garchomp's strong so I'll match its strength with my own dragon" Harrison says as he pulls out his next Pokeball making Paul curious as Harrison speaks.


"Now Salamence it's your turn!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as a big blue dragon with red wings appears. The mon lands on the battlefield shaking it and lets out a mighty roar creating a big shockwave that pushes Garchomp back a few feet. Once Salamence's done roaring it looks at Garchomp and gets in a battle stance with Garchomp doing the same. Back in the stands Ritchie speaks.

"So, Harrison has a Salamence it looks strong" Ritchie says with the group nodding as Ash and Leaf take out their Pokedex's.

"Salamence, the Dragon Pokémon a Dragon/Flying type. Equipped with sharp teeth and massive claws, weighs over 200 pounds, and has the fastest flying speed of all the Flying-type Pokémon." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.

"I can feel just how strong it is" Ash says with Pikachu, Riolu and Froakie nodding. Back on the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul makes the first move.

"Garchomp use Swords Dance then Stone Edge!" Paul calls Garchomp roars, it sharply increases its attack power then creates multiple large stones around it and sends them at Salamence. Neither Salamence nor Harrison are worried as Harrison speaks.

"Salamence use Hydro Pump!" Harrison calls Salamence roars as it fires a large stream of water that connects with the sharp stones and easily blows them away. The Hydro Pump heads for Garchomp as Paul speaks.

"Dodge then use Dragon Claw!" Paul calls Garchomp jumps in the air dodging the large stream of water it then covers its claws in green dragon energy and heads for Salamence as Harrison speaks.

"Salamence use Dragon Dance then counter with your Dragon Claw!" Harrison calls Salamence roars as purple draconic energy dances around it increasing its attack/speed. Garchomp then reaches Salamence and goes to hit it with its right claw. Salamence covers its left wing in green dragon energy and blocks the attack. Garchomp tries pushing down more but Salamence stands its ground, Salamence then opens its mouth as Harrison speaks.

"Use Dragon Pulse!" "Counter with your Dragon Pulse!" Both trainers call Salamence and Garchomp fire the purple dragon beams at each other and collide creating an explosion. A few seconds later the two dragons appear from the explosion and start flying in the air as Paul speaks.

"Use Scale Shot!" Paul calls Garchomp fires multiple black/white scales at Salamence as Harrison speaks.

"Blow pass them with Dragon Rush!" Harrison calls Salamence lets out a mighty roar it covers its body in dragon energy and flies forward easily blowing the Scale Shot away and heads for Garchomp as Paul speaks.

"Counter with Dragon Rush!" Paul calls Garchomp roars, it covers its body in dragon energy and flies forward colliding with Salamence. The two dragons begin pushing each other back and forth trying to see who's stronger. As they keep doing that Salamence begins to overpower Garchomp which surprises Paul as he quickly makes a command.

"Garchomp use Dragon Pulse!" "Dodge Salamence!" Both trainers call Garchomp fires the dragon beam, but Salamence quickly moves to the right avoiding the attack. Salamence gets its tail ready as Harrison speaks.

"Use Dragon Tail!" "Block with Dragon Claw!" Both trainers call Salamence covers its tail in green dragon energy then goes to hit Garchomp, but Garchomp quickly covers its left claw in dragon energy and blocks the attack. When they collide Garchomp covers its right claw in green dragon energy and goes to jab Salamence as Harrison speaks.

"Push it away Salamence!" Harrison calls Salamence roars as it successfully pushes Garchomp away making it fly back a few feet, but the land shark stops itself and starts flying forward as Paul speaks.

"Use Dragon Rush!" Paul calls Garchomp roars, it covers its body in dragon energy and heads for Salamence as Harrison speaks.

"Use Dragon Pulse!" Harrison calls Salamence covers its mouth with purple dragon energy and fires a large Dragon Pulse that consumes Garchomp. Garchomp tries to fly through the move but can't as there's a big explosion. Harrison smiles and speaks.

"Great job Salamence!" Harrison cheers with Salamence nodding as Paul speaks.

"Use Stone Edge!" Paul calls suddenly a large sharp stone appears out of the explosion and hits Salamence in the face causing damage and making it spin out of control surprising Harrison as Garchomp appears out of the explosion. Garchomp has some scratches on its body but continues flying for Salamence it gets its claws ready as Paul speaks.

"Use Dragon Claw!" Paul calls Garchomp covers its claws in green dragon energy and goes to hit Salamence as Harrison speaks.

"Counter with Hydro Pump!" Harrison calls Salamance stops itself and quickly fires the large stream of water that consumes Garchomp. Garchomp groans in pain but roars as it manages to fly through the Hydro Pump and jabs Salamance's chest with Dragon Claw making Salamence cough in pain as Harrison speaks.

"Salamence use Hyper Voice then Twister!" Harrison calls Salamence lets out a loud roar that hurts Garchomp's ears making it back away from Salamence as it begins to cover its ears. Salamence continues to roar as it summons a large Twister that consumes Garchomp making it spin around and do super effective damage. Garchomp groans in pain as Paul speaks.

"Garchomp break out of there with Stone Edge!" Paul calls while Garchomp continues to spin in the Twister it lets out a mighty roar creating multiple sharp stones and makes them go everywhere destroying the Twister. Salamence manages to dodge some of the sharp stones but a few of them hit it in the face causing damage. Salamence shakes its head and sees Garchomp flying towards it as Paul speaks.

"Use Swords Dance then Dragon Rush!" "Salamence use Dragon Dance then counter with your Dragon Rush!" Both trainers call Garchomp sharply increases its attack power covers its body in dragon energy and heads for Salamence. Salamence has purple draconic energy dancing around it increasing the dragons attack and speed. Salamence then covers its body in dragon energy flies forward and collides with Garchomp. The two dragons begin pushing each other back and forth trying to see who's stronger until their trainers call for a command.

"Use Outrage!" Both trainers call Salamence's and Garchomp's eyes turn a bright crimson they let out a mighty roar until there's an explosion. From the explosion appear the two dragons they continue flying in the air going at blinding speed clashing with each other over and over again creating multiple shockwaves that shake the stadium. Everyone watching the battle is in awe at the two-mons fighting each other with neither one wanting to lose. Salamence and Garchomp continue to fight with each hit they land doing more than the last they then collide with their heads one more time and create an explosion making both dragons fall back on the battlefield landing on their stomachs. Both dragons are groaning in pain but then struggle to stand up with Garchomp standing up first as Paul speaks.

"Garchomp use Swords Dance one more time and end it with Dragon Rush/Dragon Claw!" Paul calls Garchomp lets out a mighty roar it sharply increases its attack power to the max. The land shark covers its claws in green dragon energy then covers its body in dragon energy and flies over to Salamence who's still struggling to stand up. As Garchomp's getting closer it points its right claw it forward going to hit Salamance until Harrison smirks and speaks.

"Sorry Paul but your Garchomp's going down instead. Salamance use Draco Meteor!" Harrison calls surprising Paul before Paul can tell Garchomp to stop the land shark is about to hit Salamence until Salamence roars. Salamence fires a large purple orb from its mouth that consumes Garchomp and sends it flying in the air. Garchomp tries to break out of the orb but can't as once the orb reaches high enough it then explodes with multiple meteors coming out of it. Garchomp roars in pain as it's sent crashing back down on the battlefield along with the other meteors creating multiple explosions and a big dust cloud. A few seconds later the dust clears everyone can see just how destroyed the battlefield is. They then see Salamence panting heavily while Garchomp's laying on its back. The land shark tries standing back up but ultimately stays down as the ref speaks.

"Garchomp's unable to battle Salamence is the winner!" The ref calls Harrison cheers while Salamence roars in victory. The crowd cheers/clap for Harrison and Salamence. Paul's a little surprised that Garchomp lost but then sighs as he returns the mon back to its Pokeball. Back in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Whoa he was able to take out Paul's Garchomp" Leaf says having a surprised look on her face as Ritchie speaks.

"Yeah, but it was a good thing Harrison called for Salamence to use Draco Meteor when he did otherwise Salamence would've lost" Ritchie says with the group nodding as Brock speaks.

"And now Paul has one more Pokémon left" Brock says with the group nodding. Meanwhile Ash continues to watch the battle in silence and is amazed that Salamence took down the Garchomp that gave him and his Pokémon a lot of trouble in the past. Back on the battlefield Paul pulls out his last Pokeball and speaks.


"Seismitoad stand by for battle!" Paul says he throws the ball forward as his Seismitoad appears. The toad has a smile on its face and is ready to battle. Back in the stands Giselle speaks.

"Seismitoad's his last Pokémon and not Torterra?" Giselle says as Brock speaks.

"Torterra was probably too tired from its battle with Charizard so I'm guessing Paul decided not to use it" Brock says as Misty speaks.

"So, I guess he can care for his Pokémon's well-being" Misty says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Seismitoad looks at Salamence with Salamence glaring at it, Salamence then begins to pant heavily. Harrison notices he quickly pulls out Salamence's Pokeball and speaks.

"Salamence you did enough today take a good rest" Harrison says with the dragon nodding as it goes back in its Pokeball. Harrison puts the ball back in his pocket as he pulls out another Pokeball and speaks.

"Go! Hariyama!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as his Hariyama appears. The sumo Pokémon groans from poison damage but is ready to battle as Paul speaks.

"You're sending in your Hariyama that's poisoned and not a Pokémon that's already healthy?" Paul asks as Harrison speaks.

"Yep, I'm confident that even though Hariyama's poisoned and tired from its battle with Nidoking that it can still take down your Seismitoad" Harrison responds with the sumo Pokemon nodding as Paul speaks.

"Hmph whatever Seismitoad get ready" Paul says with the toad nodding as it gets in a battle stance with Hariyama doing the same. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul makes the first move.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Paul calls Seismitoad quickly fires the large stream of water it heads for Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Destroy it with Force Palm!" Harrison calls Hariyama's left palm glows white and collides with the Hydro Pump. The large stream of water pushes Hariyama back a little bit but Hariyama pushes some more and destroys the Hydro Pump. When the Hydro Pump's gone Seismitoad instantly appears in front of Hariyama as Paul speaks.

"Now use Screech!" "Hariyama use Detect!" Both trainers call Seismitoad lets out a loud ear-piercing screech but Hariyama's eye glows allowing it to jump in the air avoiding the move. Hariyama then showcases its chest as Harrison speaks.

"Use Bulk Up then Body Press!" "Dodge Seismitoad!" Both trainers call Hariyama increases its attack/defense then falls towards Seismitoad. Seismitoad quickly jumps back letting Hariyama crash on the battlefield instead, once Seismitoad lands Paul speaks.

"Now use Bounce!" Paul calls Seismitoad glows blue then shoots forward going to hit Hariyama as Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama counter with Dynamic Punch!" Harrison calls Hariyama quickly stands up and sees Seismitoad coming. Hariyama's right fist glows and gets it ready as Seismitoad's getting its right fist ready too. The two mons then collide with their fist and begin pushing each other back and forth. Hariyama's winning the exchange at first but then suffers from poison damage weaking its strength as Paul speaks.

"Seismitoad kick its arm away then use Venoshock!" Paul calls before Harrison can make a command Seismitoad manages to kick Hariyama's right arm away with its right foot. Seismitoad then fires a point-blank Venoshock which consumes Hariyama causing major damage and making the sumo cry out in pain as Harrison speaks.

"Hariyama use Iron Head then Force Palm!" Harrison calls Hariyama nods it covers its head in steel energy then shoots forward breaking out of the Venoshock and hits Seismitoad's head with its own causing damage. Hariyama's left palm then glows white, Paul calls for Seismitoad to dodge but the toad can't as it's flinching. Hariyama then palms Seismitoad hard in the stomach making the toad cough in pain as it's sent flying back a few feet and lands on its back. Seismitoad groans in pain and feels electricity flowing around its body as it's now paralyzed Harrison then quickly calls for a command.

"Great job Hariyama now use Belly Drum then use Brick Break!" Harrison calls Hariyama groans from poison damage but begins slapping its stomach with its hands which maxes out its attack power but cuts its health in half. Both of Hariyama's hands glow white as it jumps forward and goes to hit Seismitoad. As Hariyama goes to slam its right hand on Seismitoad Paul speaks.

"Seismitoad use Bounce to back away then Screech!" Paul calls Seismitoad's body glows blue as it quickly backs away letting Hariyama chop the battlefield instead which creates a large crack on the battlefield. Seismitoad stands back up, takes a deep breath and lets out a mighty roar firing a big Screech that connects with Hariyama hurting its ears and greatly lowering its defense. Seismitoad smiles then dashes forward as Paul speaks.

"Now use Bounce!" "Hariyama use Detect!" Both trainers call Seismitoad glows blue speeds up and reaches Hariyama. Hariyama goes to use Detect but suffers from poison damage making it stop, Seismitoad smiles as it begins to punch/kick Hariyama repeatedly causing super effective damage. Seismitoad then punches Hariyama across the face one more time then takes a deep breath as Paul speaks.

"Now use Hydro Pump!" Paul calls Seismitoad suffers from paralysis, but pushes passed it and fires a large Hydro Pump that consumes Hariyama and sends it crashing into the wall behind Harrison. Harrison quickly looks back he sees Hariyama stuck on the wall then falls on the ground knocked out as the ref speaks.

"Hariyama's unable to battle Seismitoad's the winner!" The ref calls Seismitoad smiles while Paul nods. The crowd lets out a loud cheer. Back in the stands Ritchie speaks.

"I can't believe it Hariyama lost" Ritchie says as Brock speaks.

"Unfortunately, it was losing damage with the poison and Harrison calling for Belly Drum didn't help as it lowered Hariyama's health even more" Brock says as Jackie speaks.

"I guess Harrison was really hoping to finish Seismitoad off with Brick Break" Jackie says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Harrison's surprised that Hariyama got defeated but recomposes himself he pulls out the mons Pokeball and speaks.

"Hariyama return" Harrison says returning it to its Pokeball. Harrison tells Hariyama thank you and for it to get a good rest. Harrison then looks forward at Paul and Seismitoad then speaks.

"I already knew but your Seismitoad's really strong" Harrison says with Paul nodding as he speaks.

"So, are you going to bring out your Salamence again?" Paul asks as Harrison speaks.

"Nah Salamence's battled enough for today instead I'll be using my final Pokémon" Harrison responds as he pulls out his final Pokeball. Back in the stands Giselle speaks.

"Harrison's using his final Pokémon I wonder what it could be?" Giselle questions as Ritchie speaks.

"I think I've an idea" Ritche says with Sparky nodding. Back on the battlefield Harrison takes a deep breath then smiles and speaks.


"It's finally your turn Let's Do This Blaziken!" Harrison says he throws the ball forward as a bipedal fire chicken like Pokémon appears. The mon has its eyes closed then opens them flames ignite around its wrists and lets out a mighty roar creating a big shockwave that pushes Seismitoad back a few feet and almost pushes Paul away, but he stands his ground. Once Blaziken's done roaring it looks at Seismitoad and gets in a battle stance. Seismitoad looks at Blaziken and can feel a lot of power from it. Seismitoad has an excited look on its face and gets in a battle stance too. Back in the stands Leaf speaks.

"So that's a Blaziken" Leaf says as she pulls out her Pokedex to scan the mon.

"Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon a Fire/Fighting type. When it meets a powerful enemy, fire burns around its arms and legs. Its powerful legs are strong enough to leap over buildings." The Pokedex says as Ritchie speaks.

"Yep, there's Harrison's starter and strongest Pokémon" Ritchie says with the group nodding. Meanwhile Ash, Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie look at Blaziken and can feel a lot of power from it. Back on the battlefield Paul speaks.

"So, your final Pokémon's a Blaziken are you sure that it's a good idea to send out a fire/fighting type against my water/ground type?" Paul asks as Harrison speaks.

"You should know that typing doesn't always matter, it depends on how you use your Pokémon. Besides this is the first time I'm using Blaziken in the league it's been training a lot back at home and is excited to finally let loose, so I hope you give it a challenge" Harrison says with Blaziken nodding while Paul nods. The ref calls for the battle to continue as Paul makes the first move.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Paul calls Seismitoad fires a large stream of water it heads for Blaziken as Harrison speaks.

"Use Thunder Punch!" Harrison calls Blaziken covers its left fist in electricity it punches the Hydro Pump and easily destroys it. Paul and Seismitoad are a little surprised that Blaziken easily destroyed the Hydro Pump but quickly recompose themselves as Paul calls for his next command.

"Seismitoad use Bounce!" Paul calls Seismitoad glows blue then shoots forward reaching Blaziken instantly. Seismitoad goes to punch Blaziken with its right fist as Harrison speaks.

"Blaziken use Blaze Kick!" Harrison calls Blaziken covers its left leg in fire and quickly uppercuts Seismitoad making the toad stop its advances as Harrison calls for his next command.

"Now use Mega Punch!" Harrison calls Blaziken's right fist glows a yellow fire then punches Seismitoad hard in the face making Seismitoad fly back a few feet and lands on its back. Everyone looks at Seismitoad groaning in pain, but the toad stands back up having a smile on its face enjoying the battle while Blaziken looks at it. Paul then sees Blaziken glow red for a few seconds and speaks.

"Tell me does your Blaziken have the Speed Boost ability?" Paul asks with Harrison nodding. Back in the stands Ash speaks.

"What's Speed Boost?" Ash asks as Ritchie speaks.

"Speed Boost is an ability that gradually increases the Pokémon's speed stat by one stage making them faster." Ritchie responds with the group nodding as Ash speaks.

"That explains why you were telling me when you battled Harrison's Blaziken that no matter how fast Sparky was going Blaziken was still faster" Ash says with Ritchie nodding as Brock speaks.

"Blaziken as a Pokémon species are already very fast Pokémon but it having the Speed Boost ability which allows it to gradually increase its speed in battle so it can dodge attacks and land even more strong blows makes it a difficult Pokémon to battle and defeat" Brock says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Paul calls for his next command.

"Since your Blaziken's fast I'll lower its speed Seismitoad use Bulldoze!" Paul calls Seismitoad stomps its right foot on the battlefield causing it to shake as Harrison speaks.

"I had a feeling you'd do something like this Blaziken jump in the air!" Harrison calls Blaziken quickly jumps high in the air avoiding the Bulldoze. Everyone's amazed by how high Blaziken jumped, making it seem like it's actually flying, Paul then calls for his next command.

"Seismitoad use Rain Dance then Hydro Pump!" Paul calls Seismitoad roars to the sky summoning the rain. Seismitoad then fires a large Hydro Pump in the air it heads for Blaziken as Harrison speaks.

"Blaziken use Mega Kick!" Harrison calls Blaziken's right leg glows a fiery yellow and kicks the Hydro Pump easily destroying it. Blaziken then begins to fall forward heading for Seismitoad as Paul speaks.

"Seismitoad use Muddy Water!" Paul calls Seismitoad roars as it summons a large wave of water in front of it. As Blaziken's about to hit the wave of water Harrison speaks.

"Blaziken use Brave Bird!" Harrison calls surprising Paul as Blaziken spreads its arms out consumes itself in fire and starts glowing a shiny blue. As the wave goes to hit Blaziken the fire chicken easily bursts through the wave and heads for Seismitoad as Paul speaks.

"Seismitoad use Liquidation!" Paul calls Seismitoad quickly covers its right fist in water and collides with Blaziken. Seismitoad tries its best to punch Blaziken away but isn't able too as Blaziken's too strong and Seismitoad's suffering from the paralysis. Harrison and Blaziken notice as Harrison speaks.

"Do it Blaziken!" Harrison yells with Blaziken roaring as it manages to knock away Seismitoad's fist and hits the toad creating a big explosion and a gust of wind. When the wind disappears, everyone sees Blaziken jump out of the explosion and safely lands on Harrison's side of the battlefield it takes some recoil damage but is still standing. Everyone continues to look at the battlefield as when the smoke disappears, they see Seismitoad laying on its back groaning in pain. Seismitoad manages to lift its head up and looks at Blaziken. The two mons look at each other for a few seconds until Seismitoad smiles then lays its head down becoming unconscious as the ref speaks.

"Seismitoad's unable to battle Blaziken's the winner. Seeing as Contestant Paul has no more Pokemon left this means that Contestant Harrison from Littleroot Town is the winner!" The ref says Harrison gets a big smile on his face as he cheers.

"ALRIGHT!" "BLAZE!" Harrison and Blaziken cheer as the announcer speaks.

"Here it is everyone after an intense battle we finally have our champion for this year's Pokémon league let's give a big round of applause to Harrison and Blaziken!" The announcer says as the crowd lets out a big cheer. Harrison runs on the battlefield and gives Blaziken a hug with Blaziken returning it. Back in the stands Ritchie speaks.

"Yeah! Harrison and Blaziken did it!" "Pika!" Ritchie and Sparky cheer happily with the others nodding as they cheer too. The only one who isn't cheering is Ash as he's in thought.

"I wonder if I'd made it to the finals and battled Harrison could I have beaten him and his Blaziken?" Ash says to himself Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie look at him as Pikachu speaks.

"Pika?" Pikachu says catching Ash's attention making the boy look at the 3 mons as he speaks.

"Oh, I'm okay I'm just impressed by how strong Harrison is as a trainer come on let's cheer for him" Ash says smiling with the 3-mons nodding as they begin to happily cheer for Harrison and Blaziken. Meanwhile back on the battlefield Paul's a little surprised that he lost but shakes his head he pulls out Seismitoad's Pokeball and speaks.

"Return" Paul says returning the toad when Paul goes to leave, he hears Harrison's voice.

"Hey!" Harrison says catching Paul's attention he turns around and sees Harrison along with Blaziken running over to him. Once they get close enough Harrison looks at Paul and speaks.

"Hey Paul, that was a fun battle thank you" Harrison says smiling with Blaziken smiling too Harrison then holds out his hand. Paul looks at Harrison for a few seconds then grabs his hand and speaks.

"You gave me a good challenge" Paul says with Harrison nodding the two boys then shake hands making the crowd clap for them more. Harrison and Paul then go their separate ways, Ash along with the rest of the group leave the crowd so that they can go and congratulate Harrison. Meanwhile in the building where Red is in Lorelai speaks.

"Looks like the trainer from Hoenn is the winner" Lorelai says as Bruno speaks.

"It was a tough battle, but I had a feeling that he was going to win" Bruno says as Rose speaks.

"Yeah, and I'm excited to battle him" Rose says having an excited look on her face as Agatha speaks.

"Well, he'll have to get through Lorelai, Bruno, and myself first before he can battle you" Agatha says with Rose nodding as Delia speaks.

"Hey, does anyone know where Red went?" Delia asks while looking for her husband as Blue speaks.

"He just left a couple seconds ago saying that he wanted to go talk to someone" Blue responds with Delia nodding. Meanwhile in the hallway where Paul is in as he continues to walk, he notices Red standing against a wall Paul then stops and speaks.


"What are you doing here?" Paul asks as Red speaks.

"Oh, nothing really just wanted to say that your battle against Harrison was great" Red says while smiling as Paul speaks.

"Thank you" Paul says as Red continues to speak.

"I was pretty surprised that you didn't use your Torterra in your battle against Harrison" Red says as Paul speaks.

"After yesterday's battle Torterra was too exhausted so I decided not to use it" Paul responds with Red nodding as he speaks.

"Do you think that if you'd used Torterra in your battle against Harrison that you would've won?" Red asks as Paul speaks.

"No, I still would've lost" Paul responds with Red nodding as Paul continues to speak.

"If that's all you wanted to ask then I'm leaving" Paul says as Red speaks.

"Wait don't you still want to battle me?" Red asks as Paul speaks.

"No after today's battle and yesterday's battle I realized that I'm not strong enough to defeat you yet so I'm going to train" Paul responds as Red speaks.

"So where will you go next?" Red asks as Paul speaks.

"The Hoenn region I want to test myself there then once I win the league and defeat the champion, I'll request to have a battle with you again" Paul says while looking at Red having a serious expression on his face as Red smiles and speaks.

"Okay then I wish you luck and even if you don't defeat the champion, I'll gladly take you on anytime" Red responds while smiling. Paul looks at Red and sees Ash as he speaks.

"Hmph you really are his father" Paul says with Red nodding as Paul begins to walk away Red speaks.

"Oh, and Paul one more thing tell Reggie I said hi!" Red says Paul stops walking then nods as he continues to walk away leaving the hallway as Red leaves too. 5 minutes later we come to the trainer hall where we see Harrison he's met up with Ash, Ritchie, and everyone else. They congratulate him with Harrison saying thank you as Ritchie speaks.

"Hey Harrison, even though you've become the winner of the Kanto League which puts you ahead of me and Tyson, it won't make me stop training because sooner or later I'll catch up to you and defeat you" Ritchie says having a determined look on his face with Sparky agreeing making Harrison smile as he speaks.

"I look forward to it" Harrison responds Ash then walks over to Harrison and speaks.

"Hey Harrison, congrats on winning the league and I wish you luck in your battles against the elite 4" Ash says with Harrison saying thank you as Ash continues to speak.

"But just like Ritchie I'll continue training too and one day I'll battle you defeat you and win a league" Ash says while having a determined look on his face with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie having the same look. Harrison looks at Ash and his Pokémon he then smiles and speaks.

"Sounds good Ash the next time we meet let's battle" Harrison says with Ash nodding.


After that 5 hours pass the group spent the rest of the day relaxing going to many different shops and food stands. It's now nighttime as we see all the trainers who've competed in the league standing at the main stadium except for the top 4 trainers. We see Goodshow on a stage standing next to him are Red, Blue, and the Elite 4. Goodshow grabs a microphone and begins to speak.

"First off, I just want to say thank you to all of the trainers who've participated in the league you all fought hard and gave us intense battles, so I reward all the trainers who didn't make it in the top 4 with a participation trophy. Goodshow says as the league staff give the trainers participation trophy's making them happy the crowd claps for them as Goodshow continues to speak.

"Now then it's time we congratulate our Top 4 trainers first up we have Asunta and her partner Typhlosion" Goodshow says as Asunta and her Typhlosion appear the crowd lets out a loud cheer as the girl and volcano Pokemon walk on the stage where Goodshow is standing on. Asunta shakes Red's, Blue's, the Elite 4's, and Goodshow's hands. Goodshow looks at her and speaks.

"Here you go the 4th place trophy congratulations" Goodshow says Asunta takes the trophy and speaks.

"Thank you" Asunta says with Goodshow nodding the girl and Typhlosion turn to the crowd who all clap/cheer for them. Asunta and Typhlosion then walk over to the left side as Goodshow continues to speak.

"Now then for our 3rd place trainer let's give it up for Ash Ketchum along with his Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie!" Goodshow says as everyone see Ash and the 3 mons appear the crowd claps for them. Once Ash and the 3 mons make it to the stage, he shakes the Elite 4's Blue's, and Red's (who has a proud look on his face) hands. Ash then walks over to Goodshow the old man hands Ash a trophy and speaks.

"Congratulations on making it to 3rd place I look forward to seeing how much stronger you get in the future" Goodshow says as Ash speaks.

"Thank you, Mr. Goodshow," Ash says as he along with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie turn around facing the crowd and hold the trophy in the air. The crowd along with Ash's friends, mom, and Prof. Oak cheer loudly for him. Ash's friends/rivals from different regions watching the TV also cheer, clap, and smile for him. Back in Pallet Town Daisy, Mr. Mime, and Ash's other Pokémon cheer loudly too. Back in the stadium Ash along with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie walk over to where Asunta and Typhlosion are and stand next to them as Goodshow continues to speak.

"Now here's our 2nd place trainer Paul along with his Torterra, Seismitoad, and Garchomp" Goodshow says as everyone see Paul and the 3 mons walk to the stage. Once they make it Paul shakes Red's, Blue's, and the Elite 4's hands. Paul then walks over to Goodshow who hands him a trophy and speaks.

"Congratulations on making it to 2nd place I wish you luck on your future adventures" Goodshow says with Paul nodding. Paul along with his Pokémon then walk next to Ash and his Pokemon. Riolu looks at Seismitoad and growls at it while Seismitoad sticks his tongue out. Riolu gets annoyed and goes to throw an Aura Sphere at Seismitoad but Pikachu and Froakie quickly stop her. Seismitoad chuckles while Torterra and Garchomp let out a sigh as Goodshow continues to speak.

"And for the trainer that came in first place and won this year's Indigo League give it up for Harrison along with his Blaziken, Hariyama, and Salamence!" Goodshow says as Harrison along with the 3 mons appear and make it to the stage. Harrison shakes Red's, Blue's, and the Elite 4's hands then walks over to Goodshow. Goodshow hands Harrison a gold trophy and speaks.

"Congratulations on coming in 1st place and I wish you luck in your battles with the Elite 4" Goodshow says as Harrison speaks.

"Thank you" Harrison says with Goodshow nodding Harrison then turns to the crowd and showcases his trophy as they all clap/cheer for him. Harrison and his Pokémon then go stand next to Paul and his Pokémon as Goodshow continues to speak.

"Here they are everyone our top 4 trainers let's all give them one big round of applause!" Goodshow says as everyone claps/cheer for them. After that everyone goes back to their rooms to sleep as the Moltres flame is then put out signaling that the league is over.


It's now the next day it's currently 8:30am we see Ash, Misty, Brock, and Leaf at the league entrance saying goodbye to Giselle, Joe, AJ, and Jackie as Ash speaks.

"So, you guys are really heading out huh?" Ash asks with the 4 trainers nodding as Jackie speaks.

"Yep, I'm heading back home to Shalour City in the Kalos region to train then when my Pokémon and I feel ready we're going on another adventure" Jackie says with the group nodding as Brock looks at AJ and speaks.

"What about you AJ?" Brock asks as AJ speaks.

"I'm going back to my gym to train for a little bit then once I reach 500 straight wins in a row I'm going to travel to another region" AJ responds the group are surprised by the number 500 but nod. Joe then walks over to Ash and Leaf then speaks.

"Hey Ash, Leaf Giselle and I are going back to Pokémon Tech to teach the rest of the students what a journey is like and the next time we meet let's battle" Joe says with Ash and Leaf nodding as Ash speaks.

"Sure, we look forward to it" Ash says with Leaf nodding making Joe happy. Giselle then pushes Joe out of the way she wraps Ash in a big hug and speaks.

"I'm going to miss you Ashy Kins!" Giselle says with tears in her eyes as Ash lets out a sigh and speaks.

"Yes, I know Giselle" Ash says as Misty speaks.

"I certainly won't" Misty mumbles to herself as Giselle glares at her. Giselle quickly makes her way to Misty and speaks.

"Sorry did you say something?" Giselle asks as Misty speaks.

"Nope nothing" Misty responds as Giselle speaks.

"You're lying!" Giselle says as Misty speaks.

"And you need to get your ears checked!" Misty responds the two girls glare at each other for a few seconds making everyone scared. Misty and Giselle keep glaring at each other until they smile then laugh making everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Afterward the group say goodbye to Jackie and AJ as they're about to say goodbye to Joe and Giselle. Giselle pulls Misty aside wanting to talk to her privately. Once they're at a good enough distance Misty speaks.

"Is there's something you want to talk about?" Misty asks as Giselle speaks.

"Yes, it's about Ash" Giselle says making Misty roll her eyes as Misty speaks.

"Let me guess you're going to tell me that you'll continue having a "love" rivalry with me and never give up on Ash" Misty says as Giselle speaks.

"Actually, I wanted to say that I'm not attracted to Ash anymore" Giselle responds surprising Misty as she speaks.

"You're not attracted to Ash anymore?!" Misty exclaims, having a surprised look on her face with Giselle nodding as Misty speaks.

"But during this week you were still showing signs that you had feelings for him" Misty says as Giselle speaks.

"Yeah, I was just acting" Giselle responds as Misty speaks.

"Acting? And what made you not attracted to Ash anymore?" Misty asks as Giselle speaks.

"You see it happened during the Fuchsia City festival when we were all looking at the fireworks. The moment I saw you and Ash holding hands while looking at the fireworks I knew that Ash wasn't in love with me but was in love with you instead" Giselle says with Misty nodding as she speaks.

"Wait me and Ash were holding hands?" Misty asks while blushing profusely as Giselle speaks.

"What you didn't' know? Well, that would explain why you two acted like nothing happened after that moment" Giselle says as Misty speaks.

"Okay but why were you acting?" Misty asks as Giselle speaks.

"Well, you see I wanted to see that if I kept acting like I was in love with Ash that my feelings for him would return but they didn't. Of course, I still love Ash, but I mainly love him as a friend and still care for him. But I just don't see him as a love interest anymore and I've grown feelings for someone else instead" Giselle responds with Misty nodding as Giselle continues to speak.

"So, as much as it pains me to say this in the end you win so I wish you and Ash a happy life together" Giselle says having a smile on her face making Misty blush as she speaks.

"You know that me and Ash aren't a couple, right?" Misty asks as Giselle speaks.

"Oh, I know I just like teasing you hehehehe" Giselle responds making Misty annoyed but Misty calms herself down and speaks.

"Now that I think about it you mentioned something about falling in love with someone else who might that be?" Misty asks as Giselle speaks.

"Do you really have to ask it should be obvious" Giselle says as she points over to Joe surprising Misty as she speaks.

"You're in love with Joe?!" Misty yells in shock as Giselle quickly covers her mouth and speaks.

"Don't say it so loud" Giselle says with Misty nodding. Giselle then removes her hand from Misty's mouth as Misty calms down and speaks.

"I have to say you falling in love with Joe is surprising" Misty says as Giselle speaks.

"I'm surprised too but after traveling with him and watching Joe grow every day, I realized that Joe was the prince I was looking for all along" Giselle says with Misty nodding as Joe speaks.

"Hey Giselle, are you ready?!" Joe asks as Giselle speaks.

"I'll be right there Joey Kins!" Giselle says making Joe confused as Giselle looks at Misty and speaks.

"I want to say one more thing to you Misty even though we didn't like each other at first I'm happy that I've been able to become friends with you" Giselle says as Misty speaks.

"Me too" Misty says as she and Giselle hug making Sobble, Quaxly, and Togepi smile. As they're about to break out of the hug Giselle smirks then whispers into Misty's ear.

"Next time I see you and Ashy Kins I better hear that you two kissed and have become a couple" Giselle says making Misty's face become bright red as she's about to yell at Giselle the girl quickly runs over to Joe grabs his arm and speaks.

"Well Ashy Kins, Leaf, Brock, and Misty we'll be taking our leave now take care!" Giselle says she then begins to run away while pulling Joe as Leaf speaks.

"And they're gone" Leaf says with the group nodding. Once Misty makes it over to them Brock looks at Misty and speaks.

"Hey Misty, your face is bright red do you have a fever?" Brock asks as Misty speaks.

"No but it feels like I've one" Misty responds making Brock confused as Leaf speaks.

"Well, we should go meet up with our parents and Prof. Oak" Leaf says with Brock and Misty nodding as they begin walking away, they notice Ash standing as Misty speaks.

"Is something wrong Ash?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.

"Oh, nothing I just want to see something in the stadium I'll meet up with you guys later" Ash says as he, Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie begin running to the stadium leaving Misty, Leaf, and Brock behind.


10 minutes later Ash along with the 3 mons have made it to the stadium before they go inside Ash notices Paul walking by and speaks.

"Hey Paul!" Ash says catching Paul's attention as the boy turns around and speaks.

"What?" Paul asks in an annoyed tone as Ash speaks.

"The next time we meet let's battle again and I'll win" Ash says having a determined look on his face with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie having the same look. Paul looks at them, he smirks then speaks.

"Hmph, I doubt you'll beat me" Paul responds as he turns around walking away. Ash watches Paul walk away until he can't see him anymore as he then walks in the stadium. Once he's in the stadium Ash notices Ritchie and Sparky in the middle of the battlefield looking at the sky. Ash and the 3-mons run over to them as Ash speaks.

"Hey Ritchie, Sparky!" Ash exclaims, catching the boy's and yellow mouse attention they turn around and smile as once Ash and his Pokémon get close enough Ritchie speaks.

"Hey Ash so you came to the stadium too huh?" Ritchie asks as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, and where's Harrison?" Ash asks as Ritchie speaks.

"Oh, Harrison already left he told me that he'll be challenging the Elite 4 in 3 weeks, he left somewhere to train so he'll be ready" Ritchie responds with Ash nodding as he speaks.

"I see" Ash says as he looks at Ritchie and speaks.

"So, Ritchie what're you going to do now that the league is over?" Ash asks as Ritchie speaks.

"Hmmm? Oh, that's right I haven't told you after our battle a man named Scott came to me saying that he's going to let me challenge the Battle Frontier" Ritchie responds surprising Ash as he speaks.

"The Battle Frontier?" I think I remember hearing about that from my dad when I was a kid, he said that each frontier brain is strong and keep getting stronger with the last one being the strongest and most difficult to defeat" Ash says with Ritchie nodding as he speaks.

"Yep, Scott told me that the Battle Frontier starts again in 4 months so that'll give me enough time to study them and I'm heading back home to Littleroot town to train up my Pokémon so that we'll be ready right Sparky" Ritchie says with Sparky nodding as Ash speaks.

"Wow that's so cool Ritchie" Ash says as Ritchie speaks.

"Thanks, so what're you going to do next Ash?" Ritchie asks as Ash speaks.

"I'm not sure yet I think for now I just want to relax and congratulate my Pokémon" Ash answers with Ritchie nodding as Ritchie speaks.

"I see well Ash whenever we see each other again let's have a battle and next time I'll win" Ritchie says having a determined look on his face with Sparky having the same look. Ash looks at them smiles and speaks.

"Heh, I look forward to that and the winners will be my Pokémon and me" Ash states also having a determined look on his face with Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie having the same look. The two boys and Pokémon continue to look at each other until they start to laugh. They laugh for a few more seconds until Ash speaks.

"Well Ritchie I wish you luck on your Battle Frontier challenge" Ash says as he, Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie give Ritchie and Sparky a thumbs up as Ritchie speaks.

"Thanks Ash and I wish you luck on whatever challenge you decide to take on next" Ritchie says as he and Sparky give them a thumbs up as well. After that Ritchie and Sparky say goodbye and leave the stadium heading for the Hoenn region leaving Ash and the 3 mons by themselves. 1 minute later Ash pulls out his Pokeball's and throws them in the air bringing out Gyarados, Clefable, Venusaur, Charizard, and Primeape. Pikachu, Riolu, and Froakie go stand next to them they look at Ash as the boy speaks.


"Hey guys Paul really kicked our butts huh?" Ash asks with the mons, agreeing, having sad looks on their faces as Ash continues to speak.

"Yeah, it sucks that we lost as not just me, but you guys wanted to win too but, in the end, we just weren't strong enough" Ash says with the 8-mons nodding as Ash continues to speak.

"I'll admit after losing I was frustrated because after all the training, we did together to become stronger and win only to come out short and hurt our pride really made me angry" Ash says with his Pokémon nodding as Ash continues to speak.

"But even though we didn't win the league this time I know that the next time we compete in a league we'll train harder than ever before and win the whole thing. Then after that we'll keep on competing/traveling until I become a Pokémon Master!" Ash cheers while raising his right fist high in the air as the 8-mons roar in agreement making Ash happy. They then notice the sun starting to rise and they look at it as Ash begins to remember. Ash begins to remember, the people, Pokémon, friends, rivals, battles, bonds, the good times, the bad times, the Pokémon he's caught, his league battles, the day he became a trainer meeting Pikachu, Misty, Caterpie, Magikarp, seeing Ho-oh and getting the Rainbow Wing. Once Ash remembers all of that we come out of his mind and see him along with his Pokémon continue to watch the sun as it fully rises. They all have smiles on their faces as they hear a voice.

"Ash" The voice says making Ash along with his Pokémon turn around as they see Delia, Red, Leaf, Oak, Blue, Rose, Misty, Sobble, Quaxly, Togepi, and Brock. They all have smiles on their faces as Misty speaks.

"Are you ready?" Misty asks as Ash smiles and speaks.

"Yeah!" Ash responds as he along with his Pokémon begin running over to them as the chapter comes to an end.

Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. And there it is the final chapter of the Kanto League and the Kanto Arc entirely tell me what did you guys think. What are your thoughts on how I handled Ash's loss and his moment with Red. How did you feel about Harrison's and Paul's battle? Were you surprised to learn that Giselle isn't in love with Ash anymore?

Seeing as this is the end of the Kanto League and the Arc tell me what was your favorite battle, moment, strategy, Pokémon, character, and tell me what are your overall thoughts on my version of the Kanto Arc as a whole.

For me, while I know I could've done some things better I feel as though I was able to showcase my version of the story well and I'm looking forward to writing the Orange Islands Arc.

Next chapter will come out next month. The reason I'm doing this is because I need a break from writing but also to plan out the next arc and re edit some of the old chapters.

Next chapter will come out on November 18th. The next arc will introduce new rivals, new villains, new Pokémon, new captures for the group, and some old characters return as well. I hope you all look forward to the next arc and continue to look forward to reading my story.

Next Time Chapter 66: Pallet Town Party and The Hexagon Pokémon

Thank you all again for reading/commenting on my story and I'll see you all next time!
