Chapter 85: Bisharp and Charcadet Competitions
Hello everyone, this chapter will focus on Ash entering 2 competitions that'll help his Bisharp and Charcadet become stronger. Nemona also returns and enters as well. I hope you all enjoy it!
The chapter begins the next day after the last chapter ended. We see the group on another island and are at a battlefield that's behind the Pokémon Center. We see Misty, Leaf, and Tracey watching Ash train his Pokémon. The Pokémon Ash has with him today are Pikachu, Hitmonlee, Gabite, Meowscarada, Bisharp, and Charcadet. We zoom in on the battlefield and see the 6 mons collide with each other then back away. Once they do, they all look at each other waiting to see who'll make a move as Ash speaks.
"Okay Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Charcadet and Charcadet counter with Flamethrower!" Ash calls Pikachu along with Charcadet fire their moves at each other which collide creating an explosion. In the explosion Meowscarada heads for Charcadet and has her claws ready as Ash speaks.
"Meowscarada use Night Slash and Charcadet dodge!" Ash calls Meowscarada, covers her claws in dark energy and goes to hit Charcadet, but the fire child manages to dodge. Once Charcadet dodges Meowscarada looks to her left and right and sees both Hitmonlee and Gabite heading for her as Ash speaks.
"Hitmonlee use High Jump Kick, Gabite use Dragon Rush and Meowscarada jump in the air to dodge!" Ash calls Hitmonlee's left knee glows red while Gabite covers his body in dragon energy, the 2-mons head for Meowscarada but the magician manages to jump in the air in time which causes both Hitmonlee and Gabite to collide. After they collide, they manage to clear away the smoke from the battlefield and begin pushing each other back and forth as Ash speaks.
"Now Meowscarada use Flower Trick and Hitmonlee, Gabite dodge!" Ash calls Meowscarada roars as a spotlight appears above her as she launches a flower bomb towards the two mons. Hitmonlee along with Gabite look in the air and manage to back away dodging the attack as it lands on the ground and explodes. Once Hitmonlee and Gabite get to a safe distance. Bisharp appears behind Hitmonlee while Charcadet appears behind Gabite, Bisharp has his right fist ready while Charcadet has her body covered in fire as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp use Metal Claw and Hitmonlee counter with Dynamic Punch! Charcadet use Flame Charge and Gabite counter with Dragon Claw!" Ash calls when Bisharp goes to hit Hitmonlee the kicking mon quickly turns around his left-hand glows and collides with Bisharp's right fist. Charcadet goes to hit Gabite, but the land shark quickly turns around his right claw glows in green dragon energy and collides with Charcadet. The 4 mons begin trying to knock their respective opponent away. As they're doing that Bisharp sees that Hitmonlee has his right leg ready as Ash speaks.
"Hitmonlee use Blaze Kick and Bisharp dodge then use Air Slash!" Ash calls Hitmonlee, covers his right foot in fire and goes to kick Bisharp. Bisharp manages to quickly bend backwards and dodges the attack. Bisharp then does a backflip and once he lands the blade on his head glows and starts firing multiple slashes of wind towards Hitmonlee as Ash speaks.
"Hitmonlee use Detect to dodge!" Ash calls when the slashes of wind go to hit Hitmonlee the mons left eye glows and manages to jump in the air avoiding the attack. The slashes of wind are now heading for Gabite and Charcadet as Ash speaks.
"Dodge!" Ash calls the 2-mons see the slashes of wind coming and manage to back away from each other in time dodging the attack. The Air Slash is now heading for Pikachu who's sparking his cheeks as Ash speaks.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash calls Pikachu fires a bolt of electricity that easily destroys the move, the electric bolt keeps going until it hits Gabite. Gabite doesn't feel any pain from the attack and begins running towards Pikachu as Ash speaks.
"Gabite use Dragon Rush and Pikachu use Iron Tail!" Ash calls Gabite roars, covers his body in dragon energy and continues heading for Pikachu. Pikachu jumps towards Gabite, covers his tail in steel energy and collides with the dragon. They go back and forth for a little bit then break away from each other and stare at each other. Meanwhile up in the air with Hitmonlee he notices Meowscarada falling towards him and has her claws ready as ash speaks.
"Meowscarada use Night Slash and Hitmonlee use Detect to dodge then use Blaze Kick!" Ash calls Meowscarada's claws glow in dark energy and goes to hit Hitmonlee but the mons left eye glows and dodges the attack causing Meowscarada to miss. Hitmonlee covers his right foot in fire and goes to kick Meowscarada as Ash speaks.
"Dodge Meowscarada then use Play Rough and Hitmonlee dodge then use Poison Jab!" Ash calls Meowscarada manages to duck and avoids the kick. Meowscarada covers her left fist in fairy energy and goes to upper cut Hitmonlee but the mon dodges. Hitmonlee then covers his feet in poison and goes to kick Meowscarada with his right foot as Ash speaks.
"Meowscarada quick counter with Night Slash!" Ash calls Meowscarada covers her right claws in dark energy and collides with Hitmonlee's right foot creating an explosion. Out of the explosion appear the 2-mons as they safely land back on the ground, once they do Pikachu, Gabite, Charcadet, and Bisharp appear. The 6-mons look at each other intensely waiting to see which will strike first, before any of them can do anything Ash speaks.
"Okay that's enough!" Ash says with the 6-mons nodding as they look at their trainer Ash speaks.
"That was a great training session you guys are looking great let's take a break for now" Ash says with the 6-mons nodding as they begin to relax. After that Misty, Leaf, and Tracey walk over to Ash and once they get close enough Misty speaks.
"Your Pokémon are looking great Ash" Misty says with Ash nodding as he along with the others look forward. They see Hitmonlee along with Bisharp and Charcadet meditating, Meowscarada taking a cat nap and Pikachu and Gabite playing with each other (Misty puts Togepi down allowing him to play with Pikachu and Gabite). As the 6-mons are relaxing Tracey speaks.
"I've never seen a Hitmonlee, Bisharp, and Charcadet meditating together or a Meowscarada nap before I gotta make sure I sketch them" Tracey says as he pulls out his sketch book and begins to sketch the mons. As Tracey's doing that suddenly Bisharp along with Charcadet stop meditating and begin training with each other again as Leaf speaks.
"Looks like Bisharp and Charcadet want to continue training" Leaf says as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, I heard from Prof. Oak that they're always training together trying to grow stronger" Ash says as Misty speaks.
"Do you think that they're trying to evolve?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.
"Possibly but I don't know how to evolve them" Ash says as Leaf speaks.
"You'd think that with all of the training they do they'd evolve by now" Leaf says as Tracey speaks.
"Well, when it comes to Bisharp and Charcadet evolving they have to meet certain conditions that'll allow them to evolve, so they unfortunately can't evolve through traditional means." Tracey says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"Man, that sucks and I really want to help them" Ash says as he's trying to think of a way to help Bisharp and Charcadet evolve Misty sees a poster that's on the wall outside of the center. Misty walks over to the poster and begins reading it. Once she's done, she looks at Ash and speaks.
"Hey Ash! Come look at this!" Misty says causing Ash along with Leaf and Tracey to run over. When they make it over to Misty she points at the poster and speaks.
"On this poster here, it says that it's holding a competition for Bisharp's and Charcadet's to help them grow stronger/evolve" Misty says as Ash speaks.
"Cool! So where is it?" Ash asks as Leaf speaks.
"It says the competitions are being held today the Bisharp competition is taking place in a stadium 10 miles away from here with Charcadet competition taking place in a building next to it." Leaf says making Ash excited as he speaks.
"This is it!" Ash says as he looks over at Bisharp and Charcadet then speaks.
"Bisharp, Charcadet come over here!" Ash says as the 2-mons stop training and run over to Ash. Once they make it over to him Ash looks at them and speaks.
"On this poster here, it says that there are 2 competitions' being held today for Bisharp's and Charcadet's that can help make you guys stronger do you want to take part?" Ash says as the 2 mons instantly nod yes making Ash excited as he speaks.
"Alright then let's head there now!" Ash says with the 2 mons along with the group nodding. After that Ash returns his Pokémon (other than Pikachu) to their Pokeball's, Misty picks up Togepi and the 4 kids begin running towards the stadium where the competitions are being held. 10 minutes later the group have made it to the stadium and see a lot of people as Leaf speaks.
"Whoa there's a lot of people here" Leaf says as Misty speaks.
"Do you think that they're all here to compete?" Misty asks as Tracey speaks.
"I don't think so as I see a mix of trainers and spectators" Tracey says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"Well, I don't care how many people are competing because I'm going to win!" Ash says with Pikachu agreeing with him as they both raise their right fist in the air. Just when the group's about to walk forward they then hear a voice.
"Hey!" The voice says causing the group to stop as it sounded familiar, they then look towards their left and see Nemona running towards them as they speak.
"It's Nemona!" The group say in surprise as Nemona then makes it to them. When she does, she looks at the group and speaks.
"Hey, it's been a long time" Nemona says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, it has how have you been?" Ash asks as Nemona speaks.
"Been pretty good and look I got my third gym badge" Nemona says as she shows the badge to the group. The 4 kids look at it and see that it looks like a triumphant star turban with a Gemstone inside as Nemona speaks.
"This is called the Spike Shell Badge" Nemona says with the group nodding as they continue to look at it Misty and Leaf speak.
"It's pretty!" The 2 girls say with as Tracey speaks.
"Whoa! You now have all 3 of the Orange League badges" Tracey says with Nemona nodding as she speaks.
"Yep, I just need to get the last one and then I'll be able to enter the Orange League" Nemona says with the group nodding as she then looks at Ash and speaks.
"By the way Ash how did your gym challenge at the Navel Island gym go?" Nemona asks as Ash smiles and speaks.
"Take a look" Ash says as he shows the badge to her making Nemona happy as she speaks.
"Nice you got it!" Nemona says happily with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"I have to say while the challenges themselves were pretty easy that Triple Battle was difficult if my Palpitoad didn't evolve into a Seismitoad I probably would've lost" Ash says with Nemona nodding as he continues to speak.
"But even though I'm one badge behind of you I'll make sure to catch up soon!" Ash says making Nemona smile as she speaks.
"That's what I like to hear!" Nemona says as Misty speaks.
"By the way Nemona are you here to compete in the Bisharp and Charcadet competitions too?" Misty asks as Nemona looks at her and speaks.
"Yep, that's right I heard that if I competed here, it could help my Bisharp and Charcadet grow stronger" Nemona responds with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"Hey what a coincidence that's why I'm going to compete too" Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"That's great because that means that we might get the chance to battle each other!" Nemona says excitedly with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"Yep, and I'm going to win!" Ash says while having a confident look on his face as Nemona speaks.
"Oh really? Well in that case before the competition starts how about we have a quick battle" Nemona says while holding a Pokeball in her hand as ash speaks.
"Sure!" Ash says while also holding a Pokeball in his hand while Pikachu sparks his cheeks. Off to the side Tracey speaks.
"Welp, we can't stop them now" Tracey says with Leaf, Misty, and Togepi nodding as Ash and Nemona speak.
"Here I come!" The 2 trainers' say. When they go to throw their Pokeball's forward they then hear a voice.
"MS.! NEMONA!" The voice yells causing Ash and Nemona to stop as they stumble forward a bit. They all then look to see who yelled and see Hassel running towards them with Rika and Larry running behind him. Once they make it Rika along with Larry are panting heavily as Larry speaks.
"Can we please stop running it doesn't work well with my suit" Larry says while panting heavily as Rika speaks.
"I'm pretty confident that you're just out of shape hehehe" Rika says jokingly while panting heavily as Larry glares at her. Meanwhile, Hassel looks at Nemona and speaks.
"Ms. Nemona what did I tell you about running off on your own? You never know what could happen" Hassel says while having a stern look on his face as Nemona speaks.
"I'm sorry Hassel but once I saw Ash and his friends again, I just had to say hi" Nemona responds making Hassel confused as he then looks forward and sees the group who're waving at him. Hassel then gets a surprised look on his face then speaks.
"I'm terribly sorry for not noticing you all sooner forgive my rudeness" Hassel says while bowing apologetically as the group tell him that it's okay. Rika then looks at the group and speaks.
"Hey, it's great to see you kids again how're you doing?" Rika asks as the group tell her that they're doing well, they also say hello to Larry who just waves at them. Once that's done Hassel looks at the group and speaks.
"So, are you here to compete as well?" Hassel asks as Ash speaks.
"Yep, I'm competing to help my Bisharp and Charcadet grow stronger" Ash responds with Hassel nodding as Nemona speaks.
"Now that the greetings are done come on Ash let's battle!" Nemona says with Ash nodding just when the 2 of them are about to begin Larry looks at his watch and speaks.
"Actually, it's best if you don't battle right now as registration for both competitions are going to end in 5 minutes" Larry says surprising Ash and Nemona. After that they both quickly run inside the building so that they can register leaving everyone else behind as Leaf speaks.
"And they're gone" Leaf says as Misty speaks.
"We should go find some seats" Misty says as Rika speaks.
"Hey why don't you 3 sit with us we've some seats reserved" Rika says making the 3 kids happy as the 6 of them walk towards the stadium and find their seats. Meanwhile, with Ash and Nemona they were able to register for both competitions before the time ran out, making them both happy. After that they along with 6 other trainers are standing in a big battlefield and are looking at a man in front of them as he speaks.
"Hello everyone, my name is Kevin and I'll be the one hosting both competitions this year!" Kevin says with the crowd nodding as Kevin begins to speak.
"Now as you all know we're having 2 competitions this year one that involves trainers' using a Bisharp and the other that involves trainers using a Charcadet." Kevin says with everyone nodding as Kevin continues.
"Now for the first competition it'll have these 8 trainers' in front of me battle each other using their Bisharp's while they hold onto this item called the Leader's Chrest. It's said that when a Bisharp defeats 3 other Bisharp's that are also holding a Leader's Chrest that Bisharp will obtain a new power." Kevin says while showing the item to everyone. They look at it and see that it looks like a shard of an old blade. Up in the stands Rika speaks.
"Oh, now I understand how this can help a trainers' Bisharp grow stronger" Rika says with Hassel and Larry nodding while Misty, Leaf, and Tracey are confused. Before they can ask back down on the stage Kevin speaks.
"So, as you're probably aware the first competition will have you battle each other using only your Bisharp's and whichever Bisharp wins the final battle shall grow stronger. Now trainers please look at this screen to see who your first opponent will be." Kevin says as he presses a button and suddenly the images on the screen begin to randomize. Once the images are done the 8 trainers look at the screen and see their opponents Ash's match is first and he's going up against a boy named Luke. Nemona's battle is last and she's battling a girl named Emily. The 8 trainers look at their opponents as Kevin speaks.
"Now that you see your opponent's we can now begin. Will contestant's Ash and Luke please take their positions on the battlefield." Kevin says when the other trainers begin to walk away from the battlefield Nemona looks at Ash and speaks.
"Good luck Ash, I hope you win your match and let's meet in the finals" Nemona says with Ash nodding as Nemona then walks over to where the other trainers are. After that Ash along with Luke go to their sides of the battlefield and bring out their Bisharp's. They give their Bisharp's the Leaders Crest to hold, once they do that the referee makes himself known and speaks.
"This is a 1v1 battle between contestants Ash and Luke. Both trainers are only allowed to use their Bisharp's and whoever defeats their opponents Bisharp first will be declared the winner. Now will both trainers please send out your Bisharp's!" The ref says with both boys nodding as their respective Bisharp walk on the battlefield they look at each other and get into a battle stance. Up in the stands Tracey speaks.
"Ash's opponents Bisharp looks strong" Tracey says as Misty speaks.
"True but I'm confident that Ash can win" Misty says with Tracey nodding as Leaf speaks.
"Go! Ash and Bisharp!" "Prr!" Leaf along with Togepi cheer while Rika, Hassel, and Larry stay quiet as they look forward. Back on the battlefield the 2 Bisharp's along with their trainers continue to stare at each other as the referee speaks.
"Now that both trainers have sent out their Pokémon let the battle begin!" The ref says as Luke speaks.
"Bisharp Aerial Ace!" Luke calls as his Bisharp shoots forward Ash speaks.
"Counter with Metal Claw!" Ash calls his Bisharp covers his right hand in steel energy and collides with Luke's Bisharp creating an explosion and causing both mons to slide back. Luke's Bisharp stops itself and begins running towards Ash's Bisharp again as Luke speaks.
"Now Bisharp use Night Slash!" Luke calls his Bisharp covers its hands in dark energy and heads for Ash's Bisharp as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp use Air Slash!" "Dodge Bisharp!" Both trainers call the blade on Ash's Bisharp's head glows and begins firing multiple slashes of wind. Luke's Bisharp sees the slashes of wind and begins to easily dodge them. Once Luke's Bisharp dodges all of them it jumps forward going to hit Ash's Bisharp as Luke speaks.
"Your Bisharp's done for do it Bisharp!" Luke says just when his Bisharp's about to hit Ash's Ash smirks and speaks.
"Sorry but that's not happening. Bisharp use Thunder Wave!" Ash calls his Bisharp roars as he fires 5 rings of electricity that connect with Luke's Bisharp and successfully paralyzes it. Luke has a surprised look on his face as his Bisharp then lands back on the ground and feels electricity flowing throughout its body. Back in the stands Tracey speaks.
"I see Ash was drawing in Luke's Bisharp on purpose so that he could slow it down and land the Thunder Wave." Tracey says with the group nodding back on the battlefield Ash speaks.
"Okay Bisharp let's finish this use Iron Head then Brick Break!" Ash calls his Bisharp covers his head with steel energy shoots forward and hits Luke's Bisharp causing damage and making it slide back a few feet away. Luke's Bisharp groans in pain then sees Ash's Bisharp running towards it while having both of its hands covered in white energy as Luke speaks.
"Bisharp dodge!" Luke calls his Bisharp tries to dodge but can't because of not only the paralysis but it's also flinching thanks to the Iron Head. Ash's Bisharp is now getting closer as Ash speaks.
"Do it Bisharp!" Ash calls as his Bisharp slashes Luke's Bisharp with his right hand causing super effective damage then gets behind the mon. A couple seconds later Luke's Bisharp falls on the ground laying on its stomach knocked out as the ref speaks.
"Contestant Luke's Bisharp is unable to battle making contestant Ash's Bisharp the winner and allowing him to move onto the next round!" The ref says as Ash smiles and speaks.
"Great job Bisharp!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu cheer as Bisharp looks at them and nods. In the stands the crowd cheers for Ash along with his friends while Hassel, Rika, and Larry stay quiet but are impressed. Back on the battlefield Ash and Luke shake hands then walk off allowing for the next battle to take place. After the next 2 battles happen it's now Nemona's and her opponent Emily's turn to battle each other. The 2 girls along with their Bisharp's (Nemona's Bisharp is shiny) are standing on their respective sides of the battlefield. Both Bisharp's are holding a Leader's Crest, the ref then makes himself known he explains the rules as the previous battles then speaks.
"If both trainers are ready let the battle begin!" The ref says as Emily speaks.
"Bisharp use Brick Break!" Emily calls when her Bisharp goes to use the move Nemona speaks.
"Use Sucker Punch Then Focus Blast!" Nemona calls her Bisharp shoots forward and punches Emily's Bisharp across the face causing damage. Nemona's Bisharp then puts its hands together quickly forms a ball of fighting energy and launches it towards Emily's Bisharp. Emily's unable to call for a command in time as the Focus Blast hits her Bisharp and creates an explosion as Emily speaks.
"Bisharp!" Emily calls in worry. When the smoke clears everyone can see Emily's Bisharp laying on its back knocked out as the ref speaks.
"Contestant Emily's Bisharp is unable to battle making contestant Nemona's Bisharp the winner and allowing her to move onto the next round!" The ref says. The crowd is left speechless by how fast Emily's Bisharp went down but then begin to cheer/clap for Nemona as the girl waves to them. In the stands Misty, Leaf, and Tracey have surprised looks on their faces as Leaf speaks.
"She defeated her opponents Bisharp easily" Leaf says as Hassel speaks.
"Nemona's been training a lot and has grown stronger than before" Hassel says with the group nodding. Back down on the battlefield Ash along with his Bisharp are surprised that Nemona managed to easily defeat her opponent, but Ash then smiles and speaks.
"Man, I can't wait to battle her" Ash says with his Bisharp agreeing as they continue looking at Nemona who's still waving at the crowd. After that round 2 happens and both Ash along with Nemona managed to easily defeat their opponents allowing them to make it to the finals. On the battlefield we see the 2 trainers along with their Bisharp's standing next to them. Ash along with Nemona both have smiles on their faces as they're excited to battle each other again. Back in the stands Tracey speaks.
"It's finally time for the final" Tracey says as Leaf speaks.
"Hopefully Ash does well" Leaf says as Misty speaks.
"I'm confident that he will" Misty says with Leaf and Tracey nodding. Meanwhile Hassel, Rika, and Larry just look at the battlefield in silence. We now come back to the battlefield the ref has made himself known he looks at both trainers then speaks.
"This is the final battle of the day both trainers are only allowed to use their Bisharp and whoever knocks out their opponents Bisharp first will be declared the winner!" The ref says with Ash and Nemona nodding as their Bisharp's walk on the battlefield and get into battle stances. Once they do the ref speaks.
"Now that both Bisharp's are on the field let the battle begin!" The ref says as Nemona speaks.
"Here we come Ash let's have a fruitful battle! Bisharp use Focus Blast!" Nemona calls her Bisharp, creates a ball of orange fighting energy and fires it at Ash's Bisharp as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp dodge then use Air Slash!" Ash calls his Bisharp quickly moves to the left and dodges the Focus Blast. The blade on Bisharp's head glows and is about to fire multiple slashes of wind at Nemona's Bisharp as she speaks.
"Use Sucker Punch Then Focus Blast!" Nemona calls her Bisharp disappears then reappears in front of Ash's Bisharp and punches it hard across the face before it could fire the Air Slash. Nemona's Bisharp then quickly creates a ball of fighting energy and goes to hit Ash's Bisharp as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp quick use Double Team!" Ash calls when Nemona's Bisharp goes to hit Ash's his Bisharp quickly creates multiple clones of itself and dodges the attack. Nemona along with her Bisharp are a little surprised as Ash speaks.
"Now use Air Slash!" "Jump Bisharp!" Both trainers call the blade on top of Ash's Bisharp's head glows and begins firing multiple slashes of wind. Nemona's Bisharp sees the slashes of wind coming and quickly jumps in the air avoiding the attack. As Nemona's Bisharp is in the air it then sees Ash's Bisharp in front of it and is holding up its right hand as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp use Brick Break!" "Block Bisharp!" Both trainers' call. Ash's Bisharp's right hand glows white and goes to chop down on Nemona's Bisharp. Nemona's Bisharp quickly brings up its arms and blocks the attack as it's then sent back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone can see that Nemona's Bisharp is still standing as Nemona speaks.
"Bisharp above you!" Nemona says as her Bisharp looks up and sees Ash's Bisharp falling towards it while having its mouth opened as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp use Flash Cannon!" Dodge Bisharp then use Focus Blast!" Both trainers' call. Ash's Bisharp fires the steel beam, it goes to hit Nemona's Bisharp, but the mon manages to jump back in time and dodges the attack as Ash's Bisharp lands. Nemona's Bisharp lands a few feet away. It quickly charges up an orange ball of fighting energy and sends it towards Ash's Bisharp as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp dodge then use Hone Claws and Brick Break!" Ash calls his Bisharp quickly moves to the left and dodges the Focus Blast. Ash's Bisharp quickly increases its attack/accuracy and begins running towards Nemona's Bisharp with its hands glowing white. As Ash's Bisharp's getting closer Nemona speaks.
"Counter with Power-Up Punch!" Nemona calls her Bisharp's fists glow in orange energy then jumps forward and collides with Ash's Bisharp creating an explosion and causing both mons to slide back as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Dig!" Nemona calls as her Bisharp quickly digs underground. Nemona's Bisharp doesn't stay underground for long as a couple seconds later it bursts from underneath Ash's Bisharp and upper cuts it causing super effective damage and sending it high in the air. Nemona's Bisharp goes after Ash's and reaches it as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Power-Up Punch!" "Bisharp quick use Thunder Wave!" Both trainers' call. Before Ash's Bisharp can use Thunder Wave Nemona's Bisharp's left fist glows in orange fighting energy and punches Ash's Bisharp hard in the stomach. Ash's Bisharp coughs in pain and is then sent crashing back on the ground creating a dust cloud as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp!" Ash calls in worry when the dust clears his Bisharp is laying on his back groaning in pain. Ash's Bisharp then stands back up and sees Nemona's Bisharp land back on the ground as its attack power increases Nemona speaks.
"Great job Bisharp let's keep going!" Nemona says with her Bisharp nodding while Ash and his Bisharp look at them. In the stands Leaf speaks.
"Ash's Bisharp is having a hard time" Leaf says as Tracey speaks.
"Yeah, so far it seems like Nemona's Bisharp is not only faster but stronger too" Tracey says as Hassel speaks.
"Ms. Nemona has specifically trained her Bisharp in power and speed making it one of the strongest Bisharp's out there" Hassel says as Rika speaks.
"Her Bisharp back in Paldea is able to take out a lot of trainers Pokémon with ease" Rika says as Larry speaks.
"If we compare Nemona's Bisharp to Ash's Nemona's Bisharp is superior and will soon defeat Ash's" Larry says with Hassel and Rika agreeing with him as Misty speaks.
"No, I disagree while it's true that Nemona's Bisharp may be superior in terms of power and speed I'm confident that Ash and his Bisharp will find a way to defeat it" Misty says with Leaf and Tracey agreeing with her. The 3 adults look at them then back to the battlefield. Back on the battlefield Ash's Bisharp has stood back up and is groaning in pain as Ash begins to think.
"Man, Nemona's Bisharp is strong in terms of power and speed it completely outclasses mine. But I know that there's a way to beat it" Ash says to himself as he looks at Bisharp and speaks.
"Bisharp hang in there!" Ash says with Bisharp nodding as Nemona speaks.
"Looks like your Bisharp can still continue well here we come! Bisharp run forward!" Nemona calls her Bisharp begins running towards Ash's Bisharp as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp, you run forward too!" Ash says as his Bisharp begins running too. The 2 Bisharp's continue to run and are getting closer to the middle of the battlefield. Once they get close enough Nemona speaks.
"Now Bisharp use Dig!" "Bisharp back away!" Both trainers' call. Nemona's Bisharp stops running then dives underground while Ash's Bisharp stops running. Ash's Bisharp can feel something underneath it then quickly backs away as Nemona's Bisharp appears and misses its attack as Ash speaks.
"Now Bisharp use Brick Break!" Ash calls his Bisharp jumps forward his right-hand glows white and chops Nemona's Bisharp's head sending the mon crashing face first on the ground and causing super effective damage. Nemona's Bisharp groans in pain while Ash's Bisharp is standing over it and has its right hand ready as Ash speaks.
"Okay Bisharp use Brick Break again!" "Bisharp use Low Sweep!" Both trainer's call. Ash's Bisharp goes to hit Nemona's Bisharp with his right hand, but Nemona's Bisharp quickly uses its right leg and kicks both of Ash's Bisharp's legs causing the mon to fall. As Ash's Bisharp is about to hit the ground he sees Nemona's Bisharp stand back up and puts its hands together as Nemona speaks.
"Now Focus Blast!" "Bisharp quick use Double Team!" Both trainers' call. Ash's Bisharp can't use Double Team in time as Nemona's Bisharp fires the move. Before the Focus Blast hits Ash's Bisharp the mon quickly brings up its arms and blocks the attack creating an explosion as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp!" Ash calls in worry as out of the smoke appears his Bisharp as he lands on his back a few feet away. The mon has scratches all over his body and is groaning in pain but can still continue and stands back up as Nemona speaks.
"We're almost there Bisharp! Use Power-Up Punch!" Nemona calls her Bisharp covers its fists in orange energy and begins running towards Ash's Bisharp as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp use Aerial Ace!" Ash calls his Bisharp shoots forward at a fast speed going to hit Nemona's Bisharp as Nemona speaks.
"Hit it Bisharp!" Nemona calls just when Ash's Bisharp is going to hit Nemona's, Nemona's Bisharp counters Ash's Bisharp with its left fist causing both mons to collide. The 2 mons begin pushing each other back and forth as they're doing that Nemona's Bisharp goes to punch Ash's with its right fist as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp back away then use Screech!" Ash calls his Bisharp quickly backs away dodging the punch and lets out a loud ear-piercing Screech that hurts Nemona's Bisharp's ears causing the mon to cover them. Once the Screech stops Nemona's Bisharp can feel its defense lower as Ash speaks.
"Now use Thunder Wave!" Ash calls his Bisharp, points his right arm forward and begins firing out multiple electric rings towards Nemona's Bisharp as Nemona speaks.
"Bisharp dodge to the right!" Nemona calls her Bisharp nods as it quickly moves to the right and dodges the Thunder Wave. But once it does Ash's Bisharp appears in front of the mon and has its hands ready as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp use Night Slash then Brick Break!" Ash calls before Nemona can call for a command Ash's Bisharp's left hand glows in dark energy and slashes Nemona's Bisharp's chest causing a critical hit. Ash's Bisharp's right hand then glows white and punches Nemona's Bisharp hard in the stomach causing super effective damage. Nemona's Bisharp coughs in pain while Ash's Bisharp smiles, Nemona's Bisharp then clinches its right fist as Nemona speaks.
"Now Bisharp use Power-Up Punch!" Nemona calls before Ash can say anything, Nemona's Bisharp punches Ash's Bisharp hard in the face causing super effective damage. Ash's Bisharp groans in pain and sees Nemona's Bisharp get an attack boost from the Power-Up Punch. Ash's Bisharp then gets his hands ready with Nemona's Bisharp getting its fists ready as Ash and Nemona speak.
"Bisharp use Brick Break!" "Bisharp counter with Power-Up Punch!" Both trainers call their Bisharp's roar, and the 2-mons begin punching each other repeatedly. The 2-mons continue with each punch they land on each other hurting more than the last, even though Nemona's Bisharp is getting an attack increase with Power-Up Punch Ash's Bisharp is still able to keep up and do damage to Nemona's Bisharp because its defense was lowered by the Screech. The 2-mons continue to punch each other until they hit each other in the face one more time and are then sent flying. Both mons land on their respective trainers' sides (landing on their backs) and are groaning in pain as both trainers speak.
"Come on Bisharp you're not done yet!" Both trainers say with the 2-mons nodding as they manage to stand back up. The 2 Bisharp's look at each other and are panting heavily as Nemona speaks.
"Looks like our Bisharp's are getting tired Ash" Nemona says with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"Yep, but mine's going to win!" Ash states with his Bisharp roaring in agreement making Nemona smile as she speaks.
"We'll see about that! Okay Bisharp charge up your strongest Focus Blast!" Nemona calls her Bisharp puts its hands together and begins charging up the orange ball as Ash speaks.
"Bisharp quick use Brick Break!" Ash calls his Bisharp nods as its hands glow white and begins running forward going to hit Nemona's Bisharp. As Ash's Bisharp's getting closer Nemona's Bisharp has finished charging the Focus Blast and looks at Ash's Bisharp as Nemona speaks.
"Fire Bisharp!" Nemona calls her Bisharp roars and fires a big Focus Blast at Ash's Bisharp. Ash sees that his Bisharp won't be able to dodge and speaks.
"Bisharp try knocking it back!" Ash calls his Bisharp nods as he collides with the Focus Blast. Ash's Bisharp begins trying to push the move back but is having difficulty as Nemona speaks.
"Bisharp add more power!" Nemona calls with her Bisharp nodding as it increases the power of the Focus Blast more making it difficult for Ash's Bisharp to hold on. Just when it looks like Ash's Bisharp's going to lose his grip Ash speaks.
"Bisharp, I know that you're tired, but I believe in you! Now! Push that Focus Blast back!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say giving Bisharp encouragement. Bisharp hears them and even though he's tired he won't give up. Bisharp then begins to yell loudly and starts to slowly push the Focus Blast back which surprises Nemona, her Bisharp, along with the crowd as Ash speaks.
"Yeah! That's it Bisharp keep going!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu cheer as Bisharp continues to yell and slowly push the move back as Nemona speaks.
"Bisharp add more power!" Nemona calls with her Bisharp nodding as it increases the power of its Focus Blast more making it stronger. Ash's Bisharp gets pushed back a couple feet but manages to stop itself and continues to slowly push the Focus Blast as Ash speaks.
"That's it Bisharp keep going!" Ash cheers as Bisharp continues to yell as Bisharp's yelling there's orange energy covering its body that Ash notices. After that Bisharp continues to yell more as there're now purple streaks spinning around the orange, Bisharp feels a lot of power then shoots forward entering the Focus Blast. Everyone's surprised that Ash's Bisharp did that but then a couple seconds later Ash's Bisharp bursts out of the Focus Blast completely destroying it and is now heading for Nemona's Bisharp. Everyone has surprised looks on their faces as they also see Ash's Bisharp covered in orange with purple streaks, up in the stands Rika speaks.
"That move is that what I think it is?" Rika asks as Larry speaks.
"Yes, that's Giga Impact" Larry says as Hassel speaks.
"So, his Bisharp's desire to win grew which allowed it to learn Giga Impact" Hassel says while Misty, Leaf, and Tracey speak.
"Go! Bisharp!" "Prr!" The 3 kids along with Togepi cheer. Back on the battlefield Nemona along with her Bisharp are surprised but then quickly lose their surprised faces as Nemona speaks.
"Bisharp counter with Power-Up Punch!" Nemona calls her Bisharp nods as its fists glow in orange. As Ash's Bisharp's about to collide with Nemona's, Nemona's Bisharp jumps forward and collides with Ash's Bisharp using its left fist. The 2 mons are now pushing each other back and forth. As they're doing that Nemona's Bisharp goes to punch Ash's with its right fist as Ash speaks.
"DO IT! BISHARP!" Ash yells as his Bisharp lets out a mighty "SHARP!" and knocks away Nemona's Bisharp's left fist. Ash's Bisharp then hits Nemona's Bisharp hard in the stomach and sends the mon flying. Nemona's Bisharp goes pass her and keeps going until it hits a wall right behind her, Nemona looks at her Bisharp she sees that the mon is on the ground (laying on its stomach) and is completely knocked out as the ref speaks.
"Nemona's Bisharp is unable to battle making Ash's Bisharp the winner! Seeing as contestant Nemona has no more Pokémon left this means that contestant Ash is the winner!" The ref says as Kevin speaks.
"And here's our winner!" Kevin says causing the crowd to let out a loud cheer as Ash speaks.
"Yeah! We Won! Great job Bisharp!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say as Bisharp looks at them and smiles. Bisharp then begins to pant heavily and gets on one knee causing Ash and Pikachu to run over to the mon. When they get close enough Ash helps Bisharp stand back up making the mon smile. Back in the stands Misty, Leaf, and Tracey cheer happily for Ash as Larry speaks.
"So, he did manage to defeat Nemona" Larry says as Rika speaks.
"That kid's pretty good" Rika says while clapping her hands as Hassel speaks.
"Brilliant Battle!" Hassel says while crying and clapping happily as Rika and Larry look at him. Back on the battlefield Nemona has a surprised look on her face as she wasn't expecting to lose. Nemona gets a smile on her face and walks over to her Bisharp. When Nemona makes it, she helps the mon stand up, Bisharp looks at Nemona and tells her sorry as Nemona speaks.
"It's okay Bisharp you did your best" Nemona says with Bisharp nodding as Nemona continues.
"And besides this loss makes me more excited to battle him again" Nemona says with her Bisharp agreeing with her as they continue to watch Ash, Pikachu, and his Bisharp celebrating. As the 3 of them continue Ash's Bisharp suddenly stops, Ash looks at the mon and speaks.
"Bisharp are you okay?" Ash asks as the mon doesn't say anything then begins to glow in a bright light surprising Ash along with everyone else as Kevin speaks.
"And here it is everyone the moment that we've all been waiting for!" Kevin says as everyone continues to look at the glowing Bisharp. Bisharp grows bigger, the blade on his head grows longer, gets long black hair and gains a mustache that looks like 2 blades. When the light stops what was once a Bisharp is no more as it's now a Kingambit, the mon has a serious look on his face as Kevin speaks.
"Here it is everyone Ash's Bisharp has evolved!" Kevin says as the crowd roars in excitement Misty speaks.
"So, the prize for winning this tournament allows for the winning Bisharp to evolve into a Kingambit?" Misty says as Rika speaks.
"Yep, that seems to be the case in the Paldea region Bisharp usually evolve into Kingambit after facing a few Bisharp's that also carry the Leaders Crest." Rika says with the 3 kids nodding as Leaf speaks.
"That's amazing!" "I gotta sketch this!" Leaf along with Tracey say as Leaf begins writing in her notebook and Tracey begins to sketch Ash's Kingambit. Back on the battlefield Ash along with Pikachu look at Kingambit and have surprised looks on their faces. Kingambit looks at them as Ash smiles and speaks.
"Congrats on evolving Kingambit!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say as they hug the mon making him smile. After that Nemona along with her Bisharp walk over to them. Once they get close enough Ash along with his Pokémon look at them as Nemona smiles and speaks.
"That was an amazing battle, Ash! I thought for sure that I was going to win but you managed to beat us! Also, congratulations on your Bisharp evolving!" Nemona says with her Bisharp agreeing with her. Ash along with his Pokémon smile as Ash speaks.
"Thanks, Nemona and we enjoyed the battle too!" Ash says with his Kingambit nodding as Nemona speaks.
"Also, Ash, even though you beat me in this competition you won't beat me in the Charcadet one" Nemona says while having a confident look on her face making Ash smile as he speaks.
"We'll see about that" Ash says while also having a confident look on his face. 10 minutes later we now go over to another building that's holding a competition for Charcadet's. Ash, Nemona and many other trainers have their Charcadet's next to them and are looking at the building as Kevin speaks.
"We've now reached the final competition of the day the Charcadet competition! In this competition trainers along with their Charcadet's will enter this building which is a maze and will have to make it to the exit. But on their way to the exit, they'll encounter Bronzor, Bronzong, Sinistea and Polteageist. Trainers will have to battle and defeat these Pokémon as they'll drop items called Bronzor Fragments and Sinistea Chips. Once a trainer's able to collect 10 of these they'll then have to make it to the exit before time runs out. Whoever manages to make it through the exit first will be able to get a special armor that'll help their Charcadet grow stronger. We also have multiple cameras set up inside the building which will allow the audience outside to watch. The time limit is 30 minutes that should give you enough time to travel through the maze and collect the items you need. We'll begin in 20 seconds make sure you're already." Kevin says with the trainers nodding as they then see the timer starting to count down as Ash looks at his Charcadet and speaks.
"We're winning this Charcadet" Ash says with his Charcadet nodding. Meanwhile Nemona along with her Charcadet and the other trainers continue to look at the timer until it reaches zero Kevin then speaks.
"Now let the Charcadet competition begin!" Kevin says once he does Ash, Nemona along with the other trainers and their Charcadet's quickly run inside the building and the 30-minute timer begins to count down. Outside of the building looking at the screen we see the group along with the 3 Paldea Elite 4 members (Pikachu's with them too). They look at the screen and see Ash, Nemona and their Charcadet's running through the maze as Tracey speaks.
"Hopefully they're able to get the material's they need" Tracey says with the others nodding as Leaf speaks.
"Go! Ash and Nemona!" "Pika!" "Prr!" Leaf along with Misty, Pikachu and Togepi cheer. We now go inside the building we see multiple trainers running through the maze and running into dead ends. We focus on Ash along with his Charcadet they continue to run until they stop as Ash sees something floating and speaks.
"What's that?" Ash questions as he takes out his Pokedex to scan the mon.
"Sinistea the black tea Pokémon and a pure Ghost type. The teacup in which this Pokémon makes its home is a famous piece of antique tableware. Many forgeries are in circulation." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.
"So, that's a Sinistea okay Charcadet let's go!" Ash says with the mon nodding as she steps forward. Sinistea looks at Ash and Charcadet and sees that they're looking to battle. Sinistea gets a serious look on its face and fires a Shadow Ball at Charcadet as Ash speaks.
"Charcadet use Flamethrower then Flame Charge!" Ash calls Charcadet fires the stream of fire that connects with the ghostly ball and creates an explosion. Out of the explosion appears Charcadet who's covered in fire and running towards Sinistea. Before Sinistea can dodge Charcadet jumps forward and hits Sinistea making it go flying as it crashes into a wall. Sinistea falls on the ground in defeat as Ash speaks.
"Great job Charcadet!" Ash says with the mon nodding. Back to Sinistea the mon wakes up it goes to leave but before it does it drops something on the ground. Once Sinistea's gone Ash walks over to the dropped item and picks it up. Once he does, he sees that it's a small chip then speaks.
"So, this must be the Sinistea Chip that Kevin was talking about. Okay Charcadet let's get 9 more of these chips and get you that armor!" Ash says with Charcadet nodding as they then begin running forward in search for more Sinistea. We now cut over to Nemona and her Charcadet as we see an explosion. Once the explosion clears, we see Nemona's Charcadet standing over a defeated Bronzor Nemona smiles and speaks.
"Great job Charcadet!" Nemona says with the mon nodding. After that the Bronzor leaves and drops something behind. Nemona walks over, picks up the item and speaks.
"This must be the Bronzor Fragment. Okay Charcadet we've 9 more to go!" Nemona says with Charcadet nodding as they run forward to continue their search. Meanwhile outside of the building we see the group continuing to watch the screen as Tracey speaks.
"Looks like they both managed to find an item" Tracey says as Leaf speaks.
"And now they need 9 more" Leaf says as Larry speaks.
"The first one is always the easiest they'll have a lot more trouble finding the other 9" Larry says as Rika speaks.
"You don't seem too hopeful" Rika says as Larry speaks.
"I'm just being realistic" Larry responds as Hassel speaks.
"Anyway, we just have to believe that they can find the other 9 before the timer runs out" Hassel says with the others nodding as they continue to look at the screen. After that 25 minutes pass during this time Ash, Nemona and many other trainers are able to gather the items that they needed. Ash along with Nemona got lost and ran into a couple dead ends but managed to find their way and collect their specific item. Ash has 6 Sinistea Chips and Nemona has 6 Bronzor Fragments. Both trainers are close to getting 10 but now that they're getting closer to the exit, they're having a harder time finding Sinistea and Bronzor. We see the 2 trainers continue to walk forward until they've reached a big area. The 2 trainers along with their Charcadet's look at each other as Ash speaks.
"Oh, hey Nemona I wasn't expecting to see you here" Ash says with Nemona saying the same thing as she speaks.
"Hey Ash, what item did you go for? I currently have 6 Bronzor Fragments." Nemona asks as Ash speaks.
"I went for the Sinistea Chips, and I also have 6 as well." Ash responds with Nemona nodding as she speaks.
"So, looks like we both need 4 more" Nemona says as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, and we only have 5 minutes left" Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to find anymore Bronzor before the timer runs out." Nemona says with Ash saying the same thing as they look at the timer showcasing that they've 5 minutes left. After that their Charcadet's hear something and immediately get into battle stances. Both Ash along with Nemona are confused until suddenly they see a Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon heading towards them then speak.
"Use Flamethrower!" Both trainers call the 2 mons quickly fire the stream of fire that connects with the 2 attacks creating an explosion. When the explosion clears the 2 trainers along with their Charcadet's look forward as they see 2 mons that look like bigger versions of Bronzor and Sinistea as Nemona speaks.
"A Bronzong and Polteageist" Nemona says as Ash then pulls out his Pokedex to scan the 2-mons.
"Bronzong the Bronze Bell Pokémon it's the fully evolved form of Bronzor and is a Steel/Psychic type. In ages past, this Pokémon was revered as a bringer of rain. It was found buried in the ground." "Polteageist the Black Tea Pokémon it's the fully evolved form of Sinistea and is a pure Ghost type. This species lives in antique teapots. Most pots are forgeries, but on rare occasions, an authentic work is found." The Pokedex says. The 2-mons look at the 2 trainers and their Charcadet's then get into battle stances as Ash speaks.
"Looks like they want to battle" Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"Well, that's fine with me because if I beat that Bronzong it should be able to drop enough Bronzor Fragments for me" Nemona says as Ash speaks.
"And if I defeat that Polteageist it should drop more Sinistea Chips" Ash says with Nemona nodding. The 2 trainers look at their Charcadet's and speak.
"Let's do this Charcadet!" Ash and Nemona say with their Charcadet's nodding as they get into battle stances. Bronzong along with Polteageist look at them as Polteageist fires a big Shadow Ball towards them as Ash and Nemona speak.
"Dodge!" The 2 trainers call their Charcadet's quickly jump in the air and dodge the attack. Bronzong appears in front of them and is glowing in steel energy. Bronzong goes to use Heavy Slam on the 2 mons as Nemona speaks.
"Charcadet push Ash's Charcadet out of the way then block!" Nemona calls her Charcadet quickly pushes Ash's out of the way as the mon lands safely back on the ground. Nemona's Charcadet then sees Bronzong coming and quickly brings up its arms as Bronzong connects sending both mons crashing back on the ground creating a dust cloud. Out of the dust cloud appears Nemona's Charcadet as it slides back a few feet away and looks at Bronzong with the mon looking at it as Nemona speaks.
"Ash my Charcadet and I will take care of Bronzong you and your Charcadet focus on Polteageist!" Nemona says with Ash nodding as he along with his Charcadet look at Polteageist. Polteageist stares at them and fires a Dark Pulse at Ash's Charcadet as Ash speaks.
"Dodge Charcadet then use Flamethrower!" Ash calls his Charcadet moves to the right and avoids the stream of dark energy. Charcadet then fires the stream of fire it goes to hit Polteageist, but the mon summons a portal behind itself and enters it allowing the mon to dodge the Flamethrower. Ash's surprised then speaks.
"Charcadet be careful Polteageist can appear from anywhere!" Ash says with Charcadet nodding as she begins looking around for Polteageist suddenly a portal appears behind Charcadet. Polteageist shoots out of the portal and hits Charcadet's back causing damage and sending the mon a few feet away as she lands on her stomach Ash speaks.
"Charcadet quick use Flamethrower!" Ash calls Charcadet stands back up and fires the stream of fire, but Polteageist manages to dodge the attack as it goes back in the portal again. A couple seconds later Polteageist appears on Charcadet's right side and hits the mon sending it sliding back a few feet away. Charcadet's about to go after it but the mon goes back into the portal again making both Ash and Charcadet annoyed. We now go over to Nemona's battle against Bronzong, we see Bronzong create multiple psychic orbs around it (using Psyshock) and sends them towards Charcadet as Nemona speaks.
"Charcadet use Flame Charge to dodge and when you get close use Flamethrower!" Nemona calls Charcadet, covers its body in fire and begins running forward while also dodging the psychic orbs. Once Charcadet dodges the final orb it shoots out a big stream of fire that goes to hit Bronzong, but the mon uses Psychic to grab the Flamethrower and send it back towards Charcadet as Nemona speaks.
"Dodge Charcadet!" Nemona calls Charcadet quickly backs away and easily dodges the attack. When it does that Bronzong appears in front of the mon and its body is glowing in steel energy (using Heavy Slam). Before Nemona can tell her Charcadet to dodge Bronzong hits Charcadet and the 2-mons come crashing back down on the ground as Nemona speaks.
"Charcadet!" Nemona calls in worry. When the dust clears Bronzong's floating in the air while Charcadet's on the ground laying on its back. Charcadet's groaning in pain but manages to stand back up as Nemona speaks.
"Are you okay Charcadet?!" Nemona asks with the mon nodding as it stares at Bronzong Nemona begins to think.
"I wasn't expecting this Bronzong to be so strong" Nemona says to herself as she then looks over and sees Ash's Charcadet having difficulty with Polteageist. We see Ash's Charcadet get hit by Polteageist again the mon is groaning in pain while Ash grits his teeth as he then hears a voice.
"Looks like you're having trouble too?!" The voice says as Ash looks at Nemona and speaks.
"Yeah, I am but not for long as my Charcadet's going to beat Polteageist and then we'll head to the exit." Ash says as Nemona smiles and speaks.
"Okay but my Charcadet and I will beat Bronzong first" Nemona says making Ash smile. The 2 trainers then look at their Charcadet's and speak.
"Charcadet it's time for our counterattack!" Both trainers say with the 2-mons nodding. Over on Nemona's side we see Bronzong fire another round of Psyshocks again as Nemona speaks.
"Charcadet use Flame Charge to dodge!" Nemona calls her Charcadet shoots forward and manages to easily dodge the psychic orbs. Once Charcadet dodges the last one it sees Bronzong falling towards it using Heavy Slam again as Nemona speaks.
"Charcadet stay right there!" Nemona says with the mon nodding as it looks at Bronzong. Bronzong's getting closer and closer to Charcadet just when Bronzong's just inches away from hitting the mon Nemona speaks.
"Okay Charcadet dodge!" Nemona calls Charcadet quickly jumps back as Bronzong slams its body hard on the ground instead. As Bronzong's beginning to stand up it sees Nemona's Charcadet in front of it while heating up its mouth as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Flamethrower!" Nemona calls before Bronzong can dodge Charcadet fires the big stream of fire that hits Bronzong causing super effective damage to it and making the mon cry out in pain. We now go over to Ash's side Polteageist dodges another one of Charcadet's Flamethrowers with Phantom Force. Polteageist then opens a portal that appears above Charcadet and shoots downward going to hit the mon as Ash speaks.
"Charcadet dodge then use Flame Charge!" Ash calls when Polteageist's about to hit Charcadet the mon quickly backs away and dodges the attack causing Polteageist to miss which surprises the ghost. Charcadet then covers her body in fire, shoots forward and hits Polteageist sending the mon flying as Ash speaks.
"Now use Night Shade!" Ash calls Charcadet's eyes glow as she fires two beams of ghostly energy that hit Polteageist causing super effective damage. Polteageist is now laying on the ground groaning in pain as Charcadet begins running towards it. We also see Nemona's Charcadet still using Flamethrower on Bronzong with its body heating up more as Nemona and Ash speak.
"Charcadet use Overheat!" "Charcadet use Flame Charge!" Both trainers' call. Nemona's Charcadet's body heats up more and turns its Flamethrower into an Overheat that does more damage to Bronzong and creates an explosion. Over on Ash's side his Charcadet covers her body in fire and hits Polteageist sending the mon flying as it crashes into a nearby wall creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears Ash along with Nemona can see that Bronzong along with Polteageist are unable to battle. The 2 kids get smiles on their faces and speak.
"We Won!" The 2 kids cheer along with their Charcadet's. After that Bronzong along with Polteageist wake up they each drop something on the ground and go away. Once they're gone Ash and Nemona go over to those spots and look at the ground. Nemona sees 4 Bronzor Fragments while Ash sees 4 Sinistea Chips, the 2 kids smile and pick up the 4 items. They then look at their Charcadet's and tell them good job with the 2-mons nodding as they then hear a voice.
"The Charcadet competition will be ending soon please head to the exit!" The voice on the speaker says as Ash along with Nemona look at the timer and see that they only have 20 seconds left. The 2 kids along with their Charcadet's have surprised looks on their faces as they see where the exit is and begin running towards it. They continue to run until they all pass through the exit and are panting heavily as the timer ends Kevin then speaks.
"Looks like we have 2 winners this year please give a round of applause to contestant's Ash and Nemona along with their Charcadet's!" Kevin says as the crowd begins to cheer/clap for them making the 2 kids and their Charcadet's smile as they wave to them. Meanwhile with the group Misty, Leaf, Tracey, Pikachu, Togepi, Hassel, and Rika cheer while Larry has a smile on his face. After that the rest of the trainers that competed in the competition make it out of the building too but were unable to gather all of the materials in time. Kevin tells them that they can keep the items and try again next year making the other trainers happy, Kevin then looks at Ash and Nemona then speaks.
"Would you 2 please show me the items you've acquired" Kevin asks with the 2 kids nodding as Ash shows his 10 Sinistea Chips while Nemona shows her 10 Bronzor Fragments. Kevin looks at them smiles and speaks.
"Yes, looks like you two did end up getting the items great job" Kevin says as Ash speaks.
"Thank you and where's this "special armor" that can help our Charcadet's grow stronger?" Ash asks with Nemona wondering the same as Kevin speaks.
"Oh yes the armor you can ask the woman next to me about that" Kevin says as a woman appears and speaks.
"Hello, my name is Oakley I come from Zapapico City in the Paldea region, and I can help you will you two please show me your items" Oakley asks with the 2 kids nodding as they show her their items. Oakley looks at the items smiles looks at the 2 kids and speaks.
"If you two don't mind, is it possible for you to wait at the Pokémon Center? And I'll bring the armor for your Charcadet's there." Oakley asks with the 2 kids nodding, making her smile after that everyone leaves. The group along with Nemona and the 3 Paldea Elite 4 members head to the Pokémon Center, once they're there Ash along with Nemona ask Nurse Joy to heal their Pokémon with the woman nodding. 20 minutes go by until they hear a ding as Nurse Joy speaks.
"You're Pokémon are all healed." The woman says while holding a tray of 4 Pokeball's Ash along with Nemona tell Nurse Joy thank you and grab their respective Pokeballs. Once that's done Oakley appears and speaks.
"Hello, I didn't keep you all waiting, did I?" Oakley asks with the group saying no as Ash speaks.
"So, where's this armor?!" "Yeah, I want to see it!" Ash along with Nemona say while having excited looks in their eyes as Oakley speaks.
"Don't worry I've them both with me but first could you two hand over the 10 Bronzor Fragments and Sinistea Chips?" Oakley asks with the 2 nodding as they hand her the items. Once they do Oakley pulls out 2 sets of armor, one that's yellow and has red markings while the other is purple and has blue markings. The 5 kids look at the 2 sets of armor as Oakley speaks.
"I bet you're wondering what these armors are called and I'll tell you. First Nemona after handing me 10 Bronzor Fragments I'll give you the yellow armor with red markings and it's called the Auspicious Armor." Oakley says as she hands the armor to Nemona then looks at Ash and speaks.
"And for you Ash for handing me 10 Sinistea Chips I give you the armor that's purple and has blue markings it's called the Malicious Armor" Oakley says as she hands the armor to Ash who takes it as Oakley continues to speak.
"It's said that once a Charcadet wears either one of these armors they'll grow stronger" Oakley says with the kids nodding as Ash and Nemona continue to look at their respective armor Ash speaks.
"So once my Charcadet wears this it'll help her grow stronger?" Ash says as he continues to look at the armor as Nemona speaks.
"Hey Ash, let's test it out" Nemona says with Ash nodding as they both bring out their Charcadet's. Once the 2 mons appear they look at their respective trainer who both bend down. Nemona looks at her Charcadet and speaks.
"Hey Charcadet if you wear this Auspicious Armor it'll help you grow stronger" Nemona says as Ash looks at his Charcadet and speaks.
"The same is true for this Malicious Armor too Charcadet do you want to wear it?" Ash asks. Both Charcadet's look at their trainers then at the armor. The 2 mons can feel a lot of power from them then look at their trainers and speak.
"Char!" The 2-mons say telling their trainers that they'll wear them. Ash along with Nemona smile as they then help put the armor on their respective Charcadet. Now that both Pokémon are wearing the armor the group look at them as Misty speaks.
"Um is something suppose to happen?" Misty asks as Rika speaks.
"Just wait" Rika says making Misty confused as a few seconds later both Charcadet's glow a bright while surprising everyone as Ash and Nemona speak.
"They're evolving!" The kids say while having excited looks on their faces as they see the 2-mons change. Both mons grow bigger Nemona's Charcadet gains a gold chest plate, and its color stays the same. While for Ash's Charcadet her arms become purple ghostly blades and her body becomes a dark purple. The light continues to glow until it stops showcasing the 2-mons as Rika speaks.
"Looks like Nemona's Charcadet evolved into an Armarouge" Rika says as Larry speaks.
"And Ash's evolved into a Ceruledge" Larry says as Ash along with Leaf pull out their Pokedex's to scan Ceruledge.
"Ceruledge the Fire Blades Pokémon, the fully evolved form of Charcadet and is a Fire/Ghost type. The fiery blades on its arms burn fiercely with the lingering resentment of a sword wielder who fell before accomplishing their goal. Ceruledge cuts its enemies to pieces without mercy." The Pokedex says as Misty speaks.
"Wait but I thought that Charcadet could only evolve into Armarouge?" Misty says as Hassel speaks.
"You're probably already aware of this but there are Pokémon in the world like Charcadet that are capable of evolving into different Pokémon if a certain condition is met." Hassel says with Misty nodding as Leaf speaks.
"Interesting" Leaf says while writing in her notebook and Tracey's sketching Armarouge and Ceruledge. Nemona then wraps Armarouge in a big hug and speaks.
"Congratulations on evolving Armarouge!" Nemona says making the mon smile. Meanwhile Ash looks at Ceruledge he still has a shocked look on his face but a couple seconds later he smiles and speaks.
"Congrats on evolving too Ceruledge and you look so cool!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say making Ceruledge smile as Oakley speaks.
"Well, my job here is done I'll be taking my leave now" Oakley says with the group nodding as they wave her goodbye. Once she's gone Ash looks at his Ceruledge and speaks.
"Not only do you look cool, but I can feel that you've gotten stronger too" Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"In that case how about we've a battle Ash my Armarouge against your Ceruledge it'll be a good way to test out their new power" Nemona says making Ash excited as he speaks.
"Sure, let's do it!" Ash says while having an excited look on his face with Ceruledge having the same look as Nemona speaks.
"Great let's head to the battlefield behind the Pokémon Center" Nemona says with Ash nodding as they then begin heading towards the battlefield leaving everyone else behind as Misty speaks.
"Well, there they go" Misty says as Leaf speaks.
"This was to be expected" Leaf says as Rika speaks.
"Come on let's go watch" Rika says with the group nodding as they begin walking to the battlefield. A couple minutes later they're all at the battlefield Ash along with Nemona are on their sides of the battlefield and are looking at each other having smiles on their faces. Hassel then walks over to the referee spot and speaks.
"This is a 1v1 single battle between Ms. Nemona and Sir. Ash. Both trainers are only allowed to use one Pokémon each and whoever knocks out their opponent's Pokémon first will be declared the winner. Do both trainers understand these rules?!" Hassel says with both Ash and Nemona nodding as he continues to speak.
"Now will both trainers please send out your Pokémon!" Hassel says as Nemona speaks.
"You're up Armarouge!" Nemona says the mon walks on the battlefield and gets in a battle stance as Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge, I choose you!" Ash says with the mon nodding as she also walks on the battlefield and gets in a battle stance too. Off to the side Misty speaks.
"This is exciting I can't wait to see how strong they're now" Misty says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield both trainers and Pokémon are looking at each other waiting for the battle to start as Hassel speaks.
"Now that both trainers have sent out their Pokémon let the battle begin!" Hassel says as Ash speaks.
"Let's go Ceruledge use Night Slash!" Ash calls the blades on Ceruledge's arms glow in dark energy as the mon shoots forward and reaches Armarouge instantly. Ceruledge goes to hit Armarouge with her right blade as Nemona speaks.
"Armarouge block with your left arm then use Dark Pulse!" Nemona calls Armarouge quickly brings up its left arm and blocks Ceruledge's attack. Armarouge's right hand glows in dark energy and launches the stream of dark energy at Ceruledge as Ash speaks.
"Block with your left arm!" Ash calls Ceruledge quickly brings up her left arm and blocks the attack. Ceruledge is sent sliding a few feet back until she stops herself. Ceruledge then looks at Armarouge with Armarouge looking at her while their trainer's smile. Off to the side Larry speaks.
"Looks like they're feeling each other out right now" Larry says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Nemona speaks.
"You're Ceruledge has gotten faster Ash" Nemona says as Ash speaks.
"And your Armarouge has gotten bulkier" Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"Alright let's keep going! Armarouge use Dark Pulse!" Nemona calls both of Armarouge's hands glow as it fires two streams of dark energy at Ceruledge Ash then speaks.
"Ceruledge get rid of them with Night Slash!" Ash calls both of Ceruledge's blade arms glow as she easily cuts the two streams of dark energy in half as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Psychic and bring Ceruledge towards you!" Nemona calls as her Armarouge fires out the waves of psychic energy and grabs Ceruledge. Armarouge then begins bringing Ceruledge closer to it as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Flame Charge!" "Ceruledge quick use Night Slash to break free!" Both trainers' call. Ceruledge is unable to use Night Slash in time as Armarouge quickly covers its body in fire and hits Ceruledge sending the mon flying. Ceruledge lands on the battlefield a few feet away creating a dust cloud as Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge!" Ash calls in worry. A couple seconds later the dust clears showcasing Ceruledge laying on her back. Nemona's Armarouge gains a speed increase as Ceruledge then stands back up Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge are you okay?!" Ash asks Ceruledge groans a little in pain but nods making Ash happy. Ash then notices a part of Ceruledge's body breaking, making Ash curious as Nemona speaks.
"Let's keep going Armarouge use Psyshock!" Nemona calls Armarouge, summons multiple psychic orbs around it and fires them at Ceruledge as Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge run around using Night Slash and when you get close enough use Flame Charge!" Ash calls Ceruledge nods as she covers her blades in dark energy then begins running around the battlefield. As Ceruledge's running around she's easily cutting through a lot of the psychic orbs. Ceruledge keeps going until she destroys the last one, then covers her body in purple fire and begins running towards Armarouge as Nemona speaks.
"Armarouge quick stop Ceruledge with Psychic!" Nemona calls just when Armarouge's about to use the move suddenly Ceruledge manages to hit the mon and sends it sliding back a few feet away. Nemona has a surprised look on her face as she speaks.
"Armarouge are you okay?!" Nemona asks with the mon nodding as it looks back at Ceruledge (who gains a speed increase). Nemona wonders how Ceruledge got so fast as Ash speaks.
"You're probably wondering how Ceruledge managed to hit Armarouge right? Well, I'll tell you it's because of my Ceruledge's ability Weak Armor." Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"Weak Armor? Of course," Nemona says while having a shocked look on her face as Misty speaks.
"What's Weak Armor?" Misty asks as Larry speaks.
"Weak Armor is an ability where if the Pokémon that has that ability gets hit with a physical attack it gets a speed increase, but the downside is that its physical defense gets lowered. Also, even though Nemona's Armarouge gained a speed increase from Flame Charge Ash's Ceruledge was faster." Larry answers with Misty nodding. Back on the battlefield Nemona speaks.
"So, that explains it." Nemona says as Ash speaks.
"Yep, and now our counterattack begins. Ceruledge use Night Shade!" Ash calls Ceruledge's eyes glow as she shoots out 2 beams of ghostly energy Nemona speaks.
"Armarouge use Protect!" Nemona calls Armarouge quickly summons a protective barrier and blocks the attack. Once it does Ceruledge appears in front of the mon and has its blade arms ready as Ash speaks.
"Now use Night Slash!" Ash calls before Nemona can call for a command Ceruledge's blade arms glow in dark energy and slashes Armarouge causing super effective damage and getting a critical hit as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Dark Pulse!" "Dodge Ceruledge then use Flame Charge!" Both trainers call when Armarouge fires the stream of dark energy Ceruledge quickly jumps back dodging the move. Ceruledge lands a few feet away then covers her body in purple fire and begins running towards Armarouge as Nemona speaks.
"Counter with your Flame Charge!" Nemona calls Armarouge, covers its body in fire and runs forward. The 2 mons then clash in the middle of the battlefield and begin pushing each other back and forth. As they're doing that Armarouge's about to knock Ceruledge away as Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge move to the right and use Night Slash!" Ash calls before Armarouge knocks Ceruledge away the fire blade Pokémon quickly moves to the right and is now on Armarouge's left side. Ceruledge covers its right blade in dark energy and hits Armarouge in the face causing super effective damage and making the mon slide back a few feet away as Ash speaks.
"Now use Night Slash again!" Ash calls Ceruledge, covers both of her blades in dark energy and jumps forward going to hit Armarouge as Nemona speaks.
"Quick use Disable!" Nemona calls just when Ceruledge's about to hit Armarouge the fire warrior's left eye glows as it manages to disable Ceruledge's Night Slash making it disappear. Ceruledge lands right in front of Armarouge as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Dark Pulse!" "Block Ceruledge!" Both trainers call Ceruledge quickly brings up her blades as Armarouge fires two streams of dark energy that begin pushing Ceruledge back. Ceruledge continues to be pushed back until she manages to stop herself and continues blocking the Dark Pulse. As Ceruledge continues to block she sees Armarouge heating up its body as Nemona speaks.
"Now use Overheat!" Nemona calls Armarouge roars as it fires a big wave of fire that easily consumes the Dark Pulse and connects with Ceruledge. Ceruledge continues to block the move but is now being pushed a couple feet back as Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge don't let that Overheat beat you!" Ash says with Ceruledge nodding as a couple seconds later she manages to stop herself and begins walking forward while pushing the Overheat back as Nemona speaks.
"What?!" Nemona says in surprise as Ash speaks.
"Okay Ceruledge it's time we show off your new move use Bitter Blade!" Ash calls Ceruledge's blade arms become covered in purple fire. Ceruledge then begins to easily slash the Overheat which surprises Nemona. Ceruledge continues to slash the Overheat until she completely destroys the move and is now right in front of Armarouge. Ceruledge gets her right blade ready as Ash speaks.
"Now Ceruledge finish it off with Bitter Blade!" Ash calls Ceruledge's right blade burns more intensely with purple fire and jabs Armarouge hard in the stomach. Off to the side Misty speaks.
"Did that do it?" Misty questions with Leaf and Tracey wondering too while Rika along with Larry stay quiet. Back on the battlefield Ash smiles and speaks.
"Looks like it's our win!" Ash says happily as Nemona smiles and speaks.
"Are you sure Ash? You should take a closer look" Nemona says making Ash confused as he sees the fire that was on Ceruledge's blade going into Armarouge. Ash has a surprised look on his face as he speaks.
"Wait your Armarouge has the Flash Fire ability?!" Ash asks with Nemona nodding as she speaks.
"That's right and thanks to that Bitter Blade it increased Armarouge's fire type moves." Nemona says as Ceruledge looks at Armarouge and sees its body heating up as Ash speaks.
"Ceruledge quick get away from Armarouge!" "Too late Armarouge use Calm Mind then Armor Cannon!" Both trainers' call. Before Ceruledge can get away Armarouge quickly calms its mind and increases its special attack/special defense. Armarouge then puts its arms together turning them into a cannon. After that Armarouge shoots out a big fire ball that consumes Ceruledge sending the mon crashing into a tree behind Ash and creating an explosion as Ash yells.
"Ceruledge!" Ash calls in worry. When the explosion clears everyone can see Ceruledge laying on her stomach. Ceruledge tries to stand back up as she wants to continue but unfortunately her body gives out as she lays on the ground knocked out. Hassel can see that Ceruledge can't battle anymore and makes the call.
"Ceruledge's unable to battle making Armarouge the winner. Seeing as Sir. Ash has no more Pokémon left this means that the winner of this battle is Ms. Nemona!" Hassel says as Nemona smiles she runs on the battlefield, gives Armarouge a hug and speaks.
"Great job Armarouge I knew you could do it!" Nemona says happily with the mon nodding. Off to the side Ash's friends are sad that he lost as Leaf speaks.
"Darn Ash lost" Leaf says as Tracey speaks.
"He was close too" Tracey says as Rika speaks.
"If Ash had known about Nemona's Armarouge having Flash Fire as an ability he could've called for a different move and won" Rika says as Larry speaks.
"Nemona got him good" Larry says as Misty speaks.
"True but Ash along with Ceruledge did their best in the end" Misty says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash's surprised that he lost but snaps out of it as he along with Pikachu walk over to Ceruledge. Once they make it to the mon Ash bends down and speaks.
"Are you okay Ceruledge?" Ash asks with the mon saying that she is but tells Ash sorry that she lost as Ash smiles and speaks.
"It's okay Ceruledge it was my fault for not knowing that Armarouge had the Flash Fire ability and besides this battle was just to see how much stronger you've gotten after evolving so I'm satisfied" Ash says with Pikachu agreeing with him as they both smile. Ceruledge looks at them and nods. After that Ash helps Ceruledge stand back up once he does, he along with his Pokémon see Nemona along with her Armarouge running towards them, once they get close enough Nemona speaks.
"Hey Ash, that was a great battle your Ceruledge gave us a good fight" Nemona says with her Armarouge agreeing with her as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, Ceruledge and I enjoyed it too and your Armarouge was tough" Ash says with Nemona nodding as Ash continues.
"Also, even though you've beaten me today the next time we meet my Pokémon, and I will be a lot stronger, and we'll defeat you." Ash says while having a determined look on his face with Ceruledge and Pikachu having the same look. Nemona along with Armarouge look at them and smile as Nemona speaks.
"I look forward to that but in the end my Pokémon and I will be the victors." Nemona says while having a confident look on her face with Armarouge having the same look making Ash and his Pokémon smile. The 2 trainers along with their Pokémon continue to stare at each other until Ash and Nemona shake hands. Off to the side the group look at them having smiles on their faces while Hassel's crying tears of joy. Once that's over it's time for Nemona along with Rika, Larry, and Hassel to leave. As they're about to leave Ash speaks.
"It was great to see you all again and Nemona good luck on getting your final gym badge." Ash says as Nemona speaks.
"Thanks, and I wish you luck on getting your third badge" Nemona says with Ash nodding. After that Nemona along with the 3 Paldea Elite 4 members say goodbye to the group, get on a boat and begin to sail away. The group waved them goodbye until they couldn't see them anymore, once the ship's gone the group headed back to the Pokémon Center where Ash called Prof. Oak to switch out his Pokémon. Once that's over they've come to the shore of the island where Ash sends out Lapras who allows the group to get on her back and the mon begins to swim. As Lapras is swimming Ash speaks.
"That was a good day" Ash says with the group nodding as Misty speaks.
"Yeah, we got to see Nemona, Rika, Larry, and Hassel again and 2 of your Pokémon evolved." Misty says with Ash nodding as Leaf speaks.
"I also got to learn some new information on how Bisharp and Charcadet evolve" Leaf says as Tracey speaks.
"And I got some cool sketches" Tracey says as he shows the sketches to the group making them smile as Ash speaks.
"Nemona's gotten stronger and going to get her 4th badge soon but I'll soon catch up to her" Ash says with the group nodding as Misty speaks.
"So, which island should we head too next?" Misty asks as Tracey speaks.
"There should be a nearby island where we can relax and recharge" Tracey says as Leaf speaks.
"That sounds nice as we do need a break" Leaf says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.
"Okay we've our next destination!" Ash says with the group nodding, Lapras continues swimming forward into the sun set as the chapter comes to an end.
Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. Tell me how did you guys like the chapter were you satisfied with the battles and how Ash's Bisharp and Charcadet evolved? Even though this isn't an episode from the anime I wanted to give Bisharp and Charcadet focus and also have Nemona return as it's been a while since we've last seen her.
Next chapter will come out next week it'll focus on the group reaching an island where they can hopefully relax and recharge.
Next Time Chapter 86: A Day to Relax
See you all next time!
