Chapter 20: Wrapping it All up
After the first two battles of the day, the crowd are getting antsy to watch the upcoming battles ahead of them.
Over at the competitor stands, Ash was currently giving Snivy a bowl of Pokémon with Naruto, Pikachu, Cilan and Stephan nearby.
"You were really awesome today Snivy, so be sure to eat a lot," said Ash happily.
"You really rocked that battle, especially with how you got Snivy to dodge Pawniard's Guillotine attack," said Stephan.
"Thanks a lot Steffen," said Ash.
"Will someone please get my name right?" Stephan mumbled.
Snivy took a bite of the Pokémon food and instantly liked it.
"You like it huh? Cilan whipped it up just for you,"
"It's my special gourmet blend that's totally irresistible to grass types and to give grass types an energy boost after battling, I added lots of extra vegetables," said Cilan proudly.
"Really, kinda tempts me to go into my Natura mode to try it out," said Naruto.
"Don't look now kit, but here comes Burgundy," said Kurama, making Naruto groan as the said person approached them.
"Oh dear, to be forced to eat food made by a connoisseur who has no taste. That has to be the saddest thing I've ever seen," Burgundy said rather dramatically.
Snivy brought out her vines and used them to whip Burgundy in the rear for her to yelp in pain and ran off with Naruto and Kurama laughing their heads off.
"Geez, it was bad enough that she tried to lick me before and now she tries to approach my food…like I'm going to let that happen," said Snivy with a huff.
"Anyways, Cilan's Pokémon food is the best right next to my old friend Brock," said Ash with a look of nostalgia.
"Hey Cilan, hope you can give me the recipe later. You can make all kinds of Pokémon food right?" asked Stephan.
"But of course Steffen," said Cilan.
Stephan's shoulders slumped at what he said "Even a connoisseur gets my name wrong,"
"Zorua! Oh Zorua, where are you?" Bianca passed by while calling out for Luke's Pokémon, she turned to speak to the group "Have you guys seen Zorua around here?"
"Nope, but last I checked she went that way," said Naruto while pointing to the left.
"Oh thank you, wait for me Zorua!" Bianca ran off while the others watched with sweatdrop.
"…you can come out now, she's gone," Naruto's tails twitched a bit before something popped out to reveal that it was Zorua who is currently giggling.
"Hehehehe, thanks for the camouflage Naruto," said Zorua.
"No problem, you better get a move on before she comes back,"
Zorua simply giggled before skipping away with Snivy watching glaring at the black fox Pokémon for having wrapped herself in Naruto's tails.
"Alright if everyone would please return to their seats so that we could commence with the next match which will be between Cilan and Luke!" said the announcer.
"Our turn has finally come, so are you ready?" said Cilan.
"I guess so Cilan, though I can't help but feel a bit nervous," said Luke.
"Well good luck to both of you," said Ash.
"Yeah we'll be rooting for you guys," said Naruto.
"Ash, I'd like to keep the camera rolling while I'm having so could you do it for me?" asked Luke holding out the said equipment to him.
"Huh? You want me to help you?" Ash was surprised with Pikachu feeling the same, but he agreed to help out nonetheless as Cilan and Luke headed out to the battlefield.
"Very well then, let's get things started with the third match of the fourth round," said the announcer.
"I'm going up against a gym leader, I don't feel so confident about this," said Luke nervously.
"Calm down Luke, take this incoming battle like you're filming a movie. First you imagine your finished product and then you make your plan, just like how I imagine my battles would turn out first with the moves that my Pokémon could utilize efficiently for the most satisfying results," said Cilan taking out a Pokéball.
"Imagine a finished product…I think I got it now!" said Luke with renewed confidence as he took out his own Pokéball.
"Do you think that it was wise of Cilan to give his opponent an advice like that?" asked the announcer.
"It probably comes from Cilan being a gym leader," said Don George.
"Alright battle begin!" the referee called out.
Music Start: Pokémon Black; Battle! Trainer
"Allow me to present my Stunfisk!" Cilan threw the Pokéball to summon the brown floundering fish Pokémon.
"And here's the star of my show, go Larvesta!" Luke threw out his Pokéball to call on a Pokémon quite new to Ash and Naruto.
It is a fuzzy moth larva-like Pokémon with blue eyes in a shadowed face, a white mane of fuzz encompasses the head and upper half of the body while the lower half is brown and has three pairs of small black legs, and there are five orange, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head.
"So that's Luke's other Pokémon," said Ash then he reached for his Pokédex temporarily forgetting that he's holding a camera, Pikachu quickly moved to grab it.
[Larvesta, the Torch Pokémon. A Larvesta shoots fire from its five horns to repel its enemies. They live at the base of volcanoes.]
"So it's a bug and fire type," said Ash.
"Uh Ash, you're squashing Pikachu," said Naruto.
Ash looked down and saw that he was pressing the camera on top of Pikachu much to his discomfort and quickly lifted it up "Oh sorry about that Pikachu,"
Back in the battle, both sides got ready.
"My Larvesta has a really strong flame, I use it for all the special effects in every movie I make," said Luke.
"Maybe so, but this is a battle and it won't be as easy as that, and I'll start things off with Stunfisk's new move…Scald!" at Cilan's command, Stunfisk opened its mouth to fire a strong stream of boiling hot water which landed on its target.
"With Scald being a water type move, it should inflict a lot of damage on Larvesta due to being part fire type," said Don George.
"Larvesta are you okay?" asked Luke worriedly, Larvesta shot out a flicker of fire from its horn to signal that it's fine "In that case, Use String Shot and action!" Larvesta fired a white stream of sticky thread from its mouth at Stunfisk and upon hitting it, wrapped itself around its body.
"Not in good taste, Stunfisk use Thundershock!" Stunfisk raised its tailfin in the air and its body is body is covered in yellow electricity before firing a beam of electricity towards Larvesta.
"Dodge it and use Bug Buzz!" said Luke, Larvesta darted to the left to evade the attack then it uttered a shrill cry which released red sound waves from its body to hit Stunfisk "That's great! Now wrap this scene up with Flamethrower!" five small streams of fire shot out from Larvesta's horns as it released a stream of red-orange fire from its mouth.
Cilan had a twinkle in his eye "Well I can use that flame to my advantage," this had everyone confused except for Naruto and Kurama.
"The kid was too hasty in choosing the right move to attack," said Kurama.
"True that," thought Naruto.
The flames hit Stunfisk, but then it died out to show the Pokémon completely free of its silky prison much to the surprise of Luke and Larvesta.
"Did you like that? I used the Flamethrower to burn off the String Shot that you fired earlier before, and that was because I imagined that it would," said Cilan.
"That was awesome!" said Iris.
"That's why he's a gym leader," said Ash.
"Oh please," Burgundy scoffed.
"Luke had the momentum, but things are now moving in Cilan's favor," said Stephan.
"I guess that it was not as easy as I thought," said Luke.
"Sometimes making a single mistake could lead to long lasting results, from what I've seen so far your Larvesta has been raised in a perfect condition…however I see a two dimensional view of your strategy given how it dodged our Thundershock," said Cilan.
"Well Larvesta hasn't evolved yet, so what do you expect?!" said Luke angrily.
"Now now Luke, a great trainer would imagine their Pokémon in a variety of settings and make sure that they can handle every one of them. Let me show you just what I mean…Stunfisk soar high into the air!"
Stunfisk leapt into the air and surprised everyone by gliding towards Larvesta while flapping its fins as wings.
"Who knew?!" said Luke in shock.
"A flying fish…now I've seen everything," said Naruto.
"One good strategy is to keep you opponents off balance by doing the unexpected deed, just like what I'm doing right now. Stunfisk use Scald once more!" said Cilan, Stunfisk fired yet another stream of heated water at Larvesta.
"Larvesta, quickly use String Shot on yourself," Luke quickly reacted to the incoming attack, Larvesta shot the white thread upwards which then came down to wrap it up in a cocoon right before the Scald hit as a form of shield.
"Smart move, doing that protected Larvesta from being taken out with that Scald attack," said Naruto.
"That was very good Luke, Stunfisk use Mud Bomb!" said Cilan, Stunfisk jumped into the air and took in a deep breath, then it fired a ball of brown mud from its mouth towards Larvesta with the explosion flinging it into the air. But then Larvesta burst out of the cocoon and was actually floating in the air while emitting flames from its horns.
"Looks like Luke is using Cilan's own strategy against him," said Naruto looking impressed.
"Now it's our turn to imagine, Larvesta use Flamethrower!" said Luke, Larvesta fired a stream of flames at Stunfisk, hitting it before fading away to reveal it scorched and swirls on its eyes.
Music End
"Stunfisk is unable to battle, therefore Larvesta wins, and the winner of the match is Luke," said the referee.
"You were amazing Larvesta!" said Luke happily.
"You did well Stunfisk, take a nice long rest," said Cilan before returning Stunfisk to its Pokéball and walked towards Luke "That was an intriguing battle,"
"Sure was thanks to you, you helped me imagine what it was like to have a gym battle," said Luke.
"I guess I did, and that's due to my bad habit of forcing challengers to show me the best of what they could do. But still you won fair and square so good luck in the semi-finals," Cilan held out a hand to Luke who took it and shook.
"Thanks a lot Cilan,"
"That was a great battle," said Ash.
"You got that right Ash, both of them were great," said Stephan.
"Oui but despite a good battle, he still lost," said Burgundy giddily.
Cilan and Luke approached the stands where Ash and the others are.
"Say Ash, did you record everything including my great victory?" asked Luke.
"You bet Luke, I got it right…here?" Ash looked at his hands to see that he wasn't holding the camera at all "Where did it go? I was holding it right here,"
"Looking for this?" everyone turned to see Naruto in Combo mode and holding the camera with a smirk on his face "You completely forgot to record the battle so I took over,"
"Wow thanks Naruto and sorry about that," said Ash sheepishly.
"Man that last got me all pumped up for the next battle!" said Stephan.
"So I guess that you and I are up next," said Iris.
"Yep, let's get this battle started!" Stephan leapt into the battlefield.
"Wait we haven't been called out yet! It's too early!" Iris followed after him in protest.
"Reminds you of anyone?" Kurama asked with a smirk.
"Let's not go there fur ball," though Naruto with a tick mark appearing on his head.
"Folks, looks like the next competitors for the fourth which is Iris and she's battling Stephen," said the announcer.
"Oh man, even the officials can't say my name right," said Stephan in depression.
"Ready. Set and begin!" said the referee.
"Go Emolga!" Iris threw the Pokéball into the battlefield for Emolga to come out.
"I'm ready!" said Emolga cheerfully.
"Okay you're up Sawk, let's go!" it was Stephan's turn to throw out a Pokéball to call out a Pokémon.
It appears to be a bipedal humanoid Pokémon with a lean blue body and rocky skin while possessing three digits on its hands and feet, there is an ornate sideways z-shaped black feature that forms its nose and left blow. It wears a karate gi with a black V-neck collar that extends down to its black belt.
"Looks like Stephan got a new Pokémon," said Naruto.
You're right about that," said Ash before taking out his Pokédex again to scan.
[Sawk, the Karate Pokémon. Sawk ties its belt to get pumped up and give its an extra bit of power. Disturbing its training angers a Sawk.]
"Sounds like the perfect partner for Lee and Gai-sensei," said Naruto.
"Emolga could you come over for a moment please?" Emolga walked up to Iris looking a bit curious "I wanted to tell you that you can't switch out with someone else whenever you use Volt Switch, but this battle will be so much fun so let's win it together!"
"Okay Iris!" said Emolga happily "And I'll get to show Naruto how strong I am,"
"Done with your strategy session?" asked Stephan.
"You bet!" Iris responded.
"Don't think that I'm going to hold back just because you're a girl, battling is all about hard work,"
"I know, and Emolga is all about not holding back!"
"That's right!" said Emolga with electricity sparking from her cheek pouches
Music Start: Pokémon Black; Battle! Trainer
"Emolga use Attract!" said Iris, Emolga winked as pink heart shaped projectiles appeared and headed straight towards Sawk.
"Sawk use Close Combat!" said Stephan, Sawk proceeded to quickly and repeatedly punch and kick the hearts until they all laid in a heap before him and disappeared afterwards as he let out a deep and its arms shake much to Iris and Emolga's shock.
"How did they do that?!" said Iris in shock.
"No fair!" Emolga pouted.
"The deal is that all Sawk are male, so Sawk does super intensive training every day to strengthen itself against gender-specific moves just like the one Emolga just used," said Stephan.
"Whoa Sawk actually defended against the Attract, just like what Trip did in our last battle," said Ash looking surprise.
"Guess Iris will have to take them on in a straight up battle," said Cilan.
"Sawk's Close Combat is pretty strong too, wonder how the battle would go if I went up against him while in my Combo mode," said Naruto.
"This is getting interesting," said Georgia.
"Use Bulk Up!" said Stephan, Sawk's body became covered in a crimson aura as it flexed its body to make its muscles thicken for a moment in order to increase its attack and defense stats.
"We're next, use Hidden Power!" said Iris, Emolga's body became outlined with light green energy as she put her hands together to form a green-yellow energy orb which she then launched at Sawk.
"Go for it with Double Kick!" Sawk charged forward and got hit by the Hidden Power but it continued by jumping high into the air before descending towards Emolga with a dive kick.
"Dodge it quickly!" Emolga jumped backwards just in time to dodge the kick, however she was caught off guard when Sawk twirled around and launch a reverse roundhouse kick with his other foot to knock her to the ground, she gritted her teeth as she got back to her feet.
"Hang in there Emolga!" shouted Ash.
"Yeah stay strong, it's still anyone's match!" said Naruto.
"Now Emolga use Hidden Power again!" said Iris, Emolga formed yet another green-yellow energy orb and fired it at Sawk which impacted the fighting type Pokémon who still looked to able to continue "How's that?"
"That's amazing, but by any chance does your Emolga know any flying type moves?" asked Stephan, Iris flinched at the question, making him smirk confidently "I'll take that as a no then, which means you've got no chance to beat Sawk. Now use Close Combat!"
Sawk immediately closed the gap between him and Emolga before unleashing a speedy barrage of punches and kicks before sending her flying backwards with a straight punch, suddenly yellow crackles of electricity appeared around Sawk making him unable to move as well as he wanted.
"What just happened?" asked Stephan in confusion.
"That must mean Emolga's ability is Static, at least she now has a fighting chance," said Cilan.
"Talk about lucky," said Georgia with a scoff.
"Alright Emolga!" Ash cheered on.
"How does Static work?" asked Naruto.
"When a Pokémon with the Static ability gets hit by a physical attack, there's a chance that the attacker could be afflicted with paralysis, It's also my ability," said Pikachu.
"Which makes it risky for one to attack without caution, quite a defensive ability for close range attacks," said Kurama looking impressed.
"Forget Static, use Double Kick!" said Stephan, Sawk dashed at Emolga and kicked her with a foot which was followed up by another to inflict damage "Even with Static we can still attack as you can see,"
"Emolga use Hidden Power!" said Iris, Emolga fired a green-yellow energy orb straight at Sawk.
"Dodge that and use Double Kick again!" Sawk jumped to the side and moved straight towards Emolga though he wasn't moving as fast as before.
"Emolga quickly fly away!" Emolga quickly spread out her winglike flaps as she took to the air and was darting left and right to narrowly avoid the kicks.
"I've got to move faster, faster, faster!" thought Emolga, suddenly she felt something come over her as she started to fly around Sawk at speeds which was quickly increasing by the minute to the point she was leaving behind two afterimages much to Sawk's and Stephan's confusion.
"W-what's going on? How is Emolga moving so fast?" asked Stephan.
Then Ash's Pokédex spoke out for everyone to hear.
[Acrobatics, the user nimbly strikes the target. If the user is not holding an item, this attack inflicts massive damage]
"And not only that, it's a flying type move! Emolga must have just learned it in order to win this battle!" said Cilan in shock.
Iris was happy "That's amazing Emolga, now show them what you can do!"
At her command, Emolga dived down at Sawk and started to slam into it multiple times in succession with the Karate Pokémon stumbling around unable to put up a defense.
"Come on Sawk get out of there!" said Stephan desperately, Sawk tried to moved but by now the paralysis had taken full effect, completely arresting its mobility "Oh no!"
"It's all over for Sawk now," said Naruto with a smirk.
"Finish this with Volt Switch!" said Iris, Emolga raised an arm into the air and a yellow orb of electricity formed above it, then she flung the orb as it collided into Sawk and engulfed it in electricity before falling to the ground with swirls in its eyes.
Music End
"Sawk is unable to battle, Emolga wins! Which means the winner of the match is Iris!" said the referee as the crowd went wild.
"We did it Emolga, we won!" Iris spoke happily.
Emolga jumped for joy "Yay we won, we won!"
"Iris and Emolga were totally awesome!" said Ash.
"Yeah!" Pikachu was in agreement.
"Hm a delectable victory replete with flavor," said Cilan.
"And that's saying something, Emolga has gotten a lot stronger," said Naruto with a smile, Emolga saw him looking at her and turned away to hide the blush appearing her face "You know, she's kinda cute when she does that and Snivy does that too sometimes,"
"…well it's a process anyway," thought Kurama.
"It was just dumb luck, Ash and Iris just got a lucky break that's all," said Georgia.
"Oui, and their dumb luck is the dumbest," said Burgundy with a pout.
Stephan took out a Pokéball to return Sawk into it "Don't worry about it Sawk, we'll do better next time," then he walked towards Iris "Congratulations on your win Iris, be sure to win the semis for me,"
"Thank you Steffen," said Iris.
Stephan slumped in depression "Getting my name right wouldn't hurt either,"
"And following that white hot club battle, we have four trainers going into the semi-finals. So take a look on the big screen for our matchups," said the announcer. Everyone watched as the portraits were randomly shuffling before finally displaying the matchups and they were:
1st Match: Dino vs. Ash
2nd Match: Luke vs. Iris
"And the winner of these two bouts will be moving on to the exciting final battle club match!" said Don George.
"Well guys we made it this far so let's go all the way. Sound good to you?" said Ash.
"Definitely!" said Pikachu.
"We're gonna win no matter what, believe it!" said Naruto with a smirk.
Soon the semi-finals were underway as the match between Ash and Dino began. Ash chose Pikachu while Dino called upon his Darumakka for the battle. Ash had Pikachu use Quick Attack to evade Darumakka's fire type attacks and retaliating with a Volt Tackle before wrapping it up with an Electro Ball + Thunderbolt combo which knocked it out to earn the win advance to the finals.
Next match was between Iris and Luke, Iris called out on Axew much to Naruto's surprise and worry which isn't a surprise since he took to the young dragon type Pokémon just he did for Konohamaru while Luke used his Golett for the battle. Iris started off by having Axew use Scratch which do a thing on Golett being a Rock/Ghost type with Normal type attacks having no effect whatsoever on Ghost types. Luke commanded Golett to use Mega Punch which scored a direct hit, Axew then retaliated with Dragon Rage to which Luke had Golett use Double Team to defend against it.
Luke commanded Golett to use Gyro Ball to attack, Iris tried to have Axew dodge the attack but it failed in it getting it regardless. Then she had Axew use Dragon Rage again and Luke commanded Golett to use Shadow Ball with both attacks cancelling each other out, Golett used Gyro Ball to attack and all Axew could do was evade but this slowly wore it out. Just when things looked bleak, Axew's eyes glowed red and its body became outlined in a red aura as well, then Axew rushed towards Golett and proceeded to punch and kick continuously before sending it flying into the air then the ground.
Everyone was stunned and wondered what happened, Georgia was the one to tell them that Axew is using a powerful dragon type attack called Outrage and also that once used the effects don't stop. True to her word, Axew rushed at Golett and unleashed another onslaught of punches and kicks before sending it flying into a wall knocked out although it was noted that Axew was flailing around as if confused afterwards. Therefore the final has been decided and the match will be between Ash and Iris which will be held the next day.
The next day, everyone had gathered at the stadium in excitement of the final match as Ash, Pikachu and Naruto, and Iris stood at either end of the battlefield in anticipation.
"Alright everyone, let's get this battle on a roll! The trainer to my left is Ash from Pallet town, and to my right is Iris from the Village of Dragons!" said the announcer excitedly.
"This is going to be one of my most exciting battle documentaries yet!" said Luke as he adjusted the settings on his camera with Golett assisting with the other equipment.
"Let's see what Iris going to do against Ash," said Georgia.
"I'm conflicted with whom to cheer on as both are my friends, but I'm going to cheer for the both of them," said Cilan.
"Competitors, are you ready?" asked the referee.
"Yes sir!" Ash and Iris spoke at the same time.
"Alright then battle begin!"
Music Start: Pokémon Black; Battle! Trainer
"Tokala, I choose you!" said Ash.
"Aw yeah, time to go wild!" Naruto jumped into the field and flared his chakra to display his zeal.
"Okay Excadrill, you're up!" Iris threw a Pokéball out into the field as the Subterrene Pokémon appeared ready for battle, he saw Naruto standing before him and smirked.
"Now why could Iris use her dragon type Pokémon Axew?" asked Georgia.
"Because Axew is still too young to battle plus Naruto is a very strong Pokémon which is why she's using her strongest Pokémon against him. There's also the fact that Naruto has a familial attachment with her Axew and Ash's Scraggy so he wouldn't be happy if she did that," said Cilan having seen Naruto look after the two young Pokémon during their journey so far.
"First move is a hard hitter, Tokala use Extremespeed!" said Ash, Naruto ran forward at high-speed before slamming into Excadrill who grunted from the impact though it didn't do much.
"Excadrill use Drill Run!" said Iris, Excadrill puts its arms up to its head and formed its body into a drill then it jumped into the air and spun its body rapidly while charging at Naruto.
"Use Substitute to dodge it!" Naruto got hit by Excadrill but then he disappeared in a puff of smoke to reveal a wooden log.
"Quick use Dig to avoid any counterattacks!" said Iris, Excadrill while still spinning dove underground right as Naruto reappeared ready to attack.
"Tokala use Shadow Clones to avoid getting hit" said Ash, Naruto concentrated and multiple copies appeared all over the battle.
"That was a good move, it will be difficult for Iris to pick out the real one," said Cilan.
Excadrill burst out of the ground and swiped at one of the clones only for it to disappear much to its surprise.
"Now use Crush Claw!" the clones charged forward with their claws glowing white with energy.
"Fight back with Fury Swipes!" Excadrill started to repeatedly slash at the clones quickly with its glowing claws despite getting hit by the clones until all were taken down with him having destroying the last one with a final slash, however there was no sign of the original anywhere "Where did he go?"
"Tokala switch into Natura mode and use Leaf Blade!" said Ash.
Excadrill noticed a growing shadow beneath him and looked up to see Naruto having transformed into his toad form and descending with the Bokken held in a reverse grip while glowing green and slashed Excadrill to inflict damage.
"Excadrill, use Focus Blast!" Excadrill put his claws together as a blue orb of energy forms between them, then he pulled one of his claws back while holding the orb before throwing it at Naruto who was too close to dodge in time and got knocked back.
"Tokala are you alright?" asked Ash worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm still in the game," said Naruto.
"Okay then use Flame Bullet!" Naruto opened his mouth to shot a fireball straight at Excadrill.
"Quick Excadrill, use Dig to dodge!" said Iris, Excadrill immediately burrowed his way underground for the flaming projectile to miss its target.
"Tokala try to sense where Excadrill will appear and then use Energy Ball,"
Naruto closed his eyes as he calmly absorbed a small portion of the natural energy around him with the yellow markings on his body glowing, he sensed that Excadrill was coming up from behind as he quickly turned around and then fired a green ball of energy from his mouth which connected and reduced Excadrill's defense power.
"Excadrill don't give in, use Drill Run!" said Iris, Excadrill got up and charged at Naruto while spinning rapidly.
"Quickly dodge it and then switch to Aqua Mode to use Aqua Blade!" said Ash, Naruto's body glowed blue before fading to reveal him in his serpentine form as he smoothly evaded Excadrill then his scythe-like tail glowed blue before lashing out to slash him and landed a super effective hit.
"How many forms does that Pokémon have?!" Burgundy exclaimed.
"I have to admit that it's quite a mystery," said Cilan truthfully.
"I might have gotten to battle Tokala had I won, well there's always next time," said Stephan.
"It may not be a dragon type but I definitely need to keep an eye out for it," said Georgia.
"Excadrill, please get up!" Iris said worriedly.
"Let's finish this, Tokala use Water Dragon!"
Naruto opened his mouth and spewed out a large amount of water which shaped into a giant powerful dragon, the water construct raced towards Excadrill with jaws wide open as it impacted with its target before Iris could speak a command, then the water disappeared to reveal Excadrill sprawled out on the ground with swirls in its eyes.
"Excadrill no!"
Music End
"Excadrill is unable to battle, which means Tokala and Ash!" said the referee.
"Tokala we did it, we won!" said Ash happily.
Naruto reverted to his polymorph mode and smirked at Ash "You better believe it!"
Iris walked over to Excadrill and knelt next to it "Excadrill, are you alright?" Excadrill tiredly raised its head to look at Iris before nodding "You did great, and I'm proud of you no matter what," then she returned it into its Pokéball.
"After a hot match which got cooled down in the end, the trainer that made it all the way to the top is Ash Ketchum!" said the announcer.
"And let's not forget about Iris who helped give us a battle worthy of final round status!" said Don George as the crowd gave Iris a big round of applause.
Then Ash went to stand on a pedestal while holding up the seven feather top class Driftveil City wing set for all to see.
"Congratulations Ash, may we please have a few words about your stunning win and also your new Pokémon?" asked the announcer.
"Well I owe it to all my Pokémon including those who weren't even used in the tournament, and let's not forget about all of my family and friends from Pallet town and the regions which I traveled through before coming to Unova. Tokala happens to be a Pokémon whom I met back at Straiton city and wanted to join me, and we've been training hard together since then," said Ash "And I'll be sending the wing set to my mom via delivery service,"
"You heard him folks so give them a big hand!" said Don George with the crowd clapping loudly than before.
As the sun was setting, Ash and the others were standing outside the stadium as they prepared to leave and Georgia was currently talking to Iris.
"Let me tell you this Iris, you better become stronger than what I saw today so that I can battle you for real, otherwise I can't call you my rival. So see you when I see you," Georgia then turned and left Iris looking a bit confused though Naruto smiled a bit seeing the similarities shared between him and Sasuke back when they were younger.
"Let us settle our connoisseur battle the next time we meet," said Burgundy.
"Why of course, I would be happy to," said Cilan with a smile.
"With all the footage I shot, I'll be able to make a documentary that really rocks," said Luke.
"I'll help you, and then I get to spend more time with Zorua," said Bianca happily.
"Yippee for you," said Zorua hiding behind Luke.
"You gotta see it when it's done, okay Ash?" asked Luke.
"Sure thing, can't wait to have a look," said Ash.
"So where are you guys headed off to next?" asked Stephan.
"Nimbasa City, for my next gym battle, this tournament has shown me how strong my Pokémon and I have gotten, and that we can get even stronger,"
"Good luck Ash, I'm right with you!"
"Thanks a lot Stephen,"
"Will someone ever get my name right?!" Stephan shouted out to the heavens.
"Catch you guys later," said Naruto.
"See you," said Luke.
"Bye for now," said Stephan.
With that said, everyone went their separate ways with Ash and the gang making their way to Nimbasa city.
