Chapter 90: Team Snagem's Boss Ash vs Gonzap!

Hello everyone, this chapter will mainly focus on Ash's battle against Gonzap but will also showcase the other battles that are taking place too. This chapter is long and I hope you all enjoy it!

The chapter begins where the last chapter left off with Pikachu and Gyarados colliding with a Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse respectively. The two attacks created an explosion as we now focus in on the battle. Once the smoke clears Gonzap calls for a command.

"Breloom use Mach Punch!" Gonzap calls as his Breloom shoots forward reaching Pikachu instantly. Breloom's right fist glows and goes to punch Pikachu as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Protect and Pyroar use Fire Fang!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly summons a protective barrier and blocks the attack making Breloom bounce away. Once Breloom lands it sees Pyroar appear in front of it with his mouth covered in fire. Gonzap quickly calls for a command.

"Breloom counter with Force Palm!" Gonzap calls Breloom's right palm glows and collides with Pyroar creating an explosion and causing both mons to slide away from each other. Once they do Gonzap's Crawdaunt points its pincers forward as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Crawdaunt use Hydro Pump on Pyroar!" Gonzap calls Crawdaunt fires a big stream of water from its pincers that goes to hit Pyroar as Ash speaks.

"Ninetales intercept it with Ice Beam and Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Crawdaunt!" Ash calls. Ninetales quickly fires an icy beam that collides with the Hydro Pump creating an explosion. Pikachu quickly fires an electric bolt that heads for Crawdaunt as Gonzap speaks.

"Toxicroak use Brick Break then use Sludge Bomb on Ninetales!" Gonzap calls Toxicroak's right hand glows and swings it easily getting rid of the electric bolt. Toxicroak then takes a deep breath and begins firing multiple poison bombs of sludge that go to hit Ninetales as Ash speaks.

"Krookodile use Stone Edge to destroy the Sludge Bombs and Dracovish use Dragon Rush!" Ash calls Krookodile fires multiple sharp stones that collide with the Sludge Bombs creating multiple explosions. After that Dracovish covers its body in dragon energy and runs towards Gonzap's Pokémon as the man speaks.

"Granbull use Dazzling Gleam!" Gonzap calls Granbull covers its body in fairy energy shoots forward and collides with Dracovish. Once the 2 mons collide, they begin pushing each other back and forth. At first Granbull had the upper hand as its Dazzling Gleam is super effective against Dracovish's Dragon Rush. But even though Dracovish's attack is ineffective it still continues to push forward which surprises Gonzap. As the 2 mons keep going Gonzap speaks.

"Enough of this! Armaldo use Stone Edge and Granbull move out of the way!" Gonzap calls Armaldo, creates multiple sharp stones around it and fires them forward. Granbull sees the stones coming and quickly moves out of the way making Dracovish stumble forward. Dracovish looks forward and sees the sharp stones going to hit it as Ash speaks.

"Grovyle quick use Leaf Blade!" Ash calls the leaves on Grovyle's arms turn into grassy blades as the gecko jumps forward and easily manages to get rid of the sharp stones. Dracovish tells Grovyle thank you with the gecko nodding as Gonzap speaks.

"Granbull use Fire Fang!" Gonzap calls Granbull, covers its mouth in fire and goes to bite Grovyle as Ash speaks.

"Dracovish use Fishious Rend!" Ash calls as Granbull's getting closer Dracovish's lower jaw becomes blue and manages to collide with Granbull creating an explosion. Out of the explosion appear Dracovish, Grovyle, and Granbull who slide away from each other. Ash's along with Gonzap's Pokémon look at each other as Gonzap speaks.

"Hmmm not bad but still not enough to beat me" Gonzap says as Ash speaks.

"Oh, don't worry because now that we've warmed up, we're taking you down!" Ash states with his Pokémon agreeing with him. We now cut away from Ash and Gonzap and go over to Biden's battle against Tracy, Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth. We see an explosion out of the explosion appears Tracey's Scyther, Jessie's Arbox, James's Weezing, and Looker's Drapion. The 4 mons are sent sliding back and once they stop themselves Steelix appears in front of them and has its teeth ready as Biden speaks.

"Now use Crunch!" Biden calls Steelix covers its mouth in dark energy and goes to bite the 4 mons as Jessie speaks.

"Wobbuffet use Counter!" Jessie calls Wobbuffet quickly jumps forward and collides with Steelix. Just when Wobbuffet's about to knock Steelix away Biden speaks.

"Now Steelix use Shadow Rush!" Biden calls Steelix roars it covers its body in shadow energy and manages to easily knock Wobbuffet away making the mon go flying as Jessie speaks.

"Wobbuffet!" Jessie calls in worry as James speaks.

"Victreebel use Vine Whip to catch Wobbuffet!" James calls with the plant nodding as it quickly fires its vines, catches Wobbuffet and safely places the mon back on the ground. Jessie tells James thank you with the man nodding as Biden speaks.

"Now Steelix use Flash Cannon!" Biden calls Steelix fires the steel beam as Looker speaks.

"Flamethrower Arcanine!" Looker calls Arcanine quickly fires the stream of fire that collides with the steel beam creating an explosion. Out of the explosion appears Tracey's Scyther, Looker's Croagunk and Drapion, Jessie's Arbox, and Meowth. They're all running towards Steelix as Biden speaks.

"So, you're all coming towards me. Steelix use Iron Tail!" Biden calls Steelix covers its tail in steel energy and goes to hit the 5 mons as Tracey speaks.

"Venomoth stop it with Psychic!" Tracey calls Venomoth fires the waves of psychic energy and manages to stop Steelix in its tracks as Biden speaks.

"That won't work! Steelix break out of their with Crunch!" "Lickitung use Lick!" Biden and Jessie call. When Steelix goes to use Crunch Lickitung quickly extends its tongue forward and licks Steelix causing the mon to stop as it then becomes paralyzed surprising Biden as Tracey, Looker, Jessie, James and Meowth speak.

"Now Scyther use Rock Smash!" "Croagunk use Brick Break and Drapion use Night Slash!" "Arbox use Fire Fang!" "Take my Fury Swipes!" The 3 trainers along with Meowth say. Scyther covers his scythes in red energy, Croagunk's hands glow white, Drapion covers its claws in dark energy, Arbox covers its mouth in fire, and Meowth brings out his claws. The 5 mons then manage to hit Steelix causing some damage to the mon as Biden speaks.

"Now Iron Tail!" Biden calls Steelix quickly covers its tail in steel energy and hits the 4-mons sending them all crashing on the ground creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears the 4 mons are groaning in pain but can still battle. After that Biden sees Tracey's Marill and Smeargle, along with Looker's Arcanine all taking a deep breath as Biden speaks.

"Steelix quick use Stone Edge!" Biden calls Steelix roars as it summons multiple sharp stones around itself then fires them at the 3 mons James quickly calls for a command.

"Victreebel use Leaf Storm!" James calls Victreebel roars as it fires a big storm of leaves that easily destroys the Stone Edge and hit Steelix. The Leaf Storm doesn't do much damage to Steelix as Biden speaks.

"Now Steelix use Shadow Rush!" Biden calls Steelix roars as it covers its body in shadow energy and shoots forward. Just when Steelix's about to knock Victreebel away Weezing appears as James speaks.

"Now Weezing use Flash!" James calls as the 2 Weezing heads glow firing a bright light that blinds both Steelix and Biden. Steelix is forced to stop as Tracey and Looker speak.

"Now Marill use Hydro Pump and Smeargle use Sketch to copy it!" "Arcanine use Fire Blast!" Both trainers calls Smeargle quickly sketch's Marill's Hydro Pump as the 2 mons fire the large stream of water. Arcanine covers its mouth in fire and launches a big blast of fire from its mouth. The 3 attacks combine into one and is about to hit Steelix as Biden speaks.

"Steelix use Dig to dodge!" "I don't think so! Venomoth use Psychic to hold Steelix in place!" Both trainers call when Steelix's about to dig Venomoth quickly fires the waves of psychic energy that connect with Steelix and hold it in place. Biden calls for Steelix to use Crunch to break out of the psychic hold, but Steelix was too late as the combined Hydro Pump and Fire Blast hit Steelix. The Iron Snake is sent crashing into the wall behind Biden creating an explosion. When the explosion clears everyone can see Steelix groaning in pain as Tracey speaks.

"Looks like that did it" Tracey says with the others nodding as Biden speaks.

"You're celebrating too early Steelix use Screech then Shadow Rush!" Biden calls Steelix lets out a loud roar hurting the ears of the 4 humans and their Pokémon. The groups Pokémon can feel their defense decrease as Steelix covers its body in shadow energy and heads for the mons as the 4 humans speak.

"Dodge!" The 4 humans call but were too late as Steelix manages to hit all of them making them all fly high into the air then come crashing back down. The 4 humans look at their Pokémon and see them all groaning in pain as James speaks.

"That one attack did that much damage to our Pokémon?" "Unbelievable" James and Jessie say while having surprised looks on their faces as Biden speaks.

"Don't worry there's more where that came from as my Steelix is just getting started" Biden says while having a confident look on his face as the 4 trainers look at him. We now cut away from them and head into the hallway where Misty along with Leaf are battling Agrev and Wakin. We focus on Misty's battle with Agrev as he calls for a command.

"Ursaring use Shadow Rush!" Agrev calls Ursaring roars as it covers its body in shadow energy and begins running towards Misty's Pokémon as Misty calls for a command.

"Ursaring destroy it with Hammer Arm!" Agrev calls Ursaring roars it covers its arms in white energy and manages to destroy the Hydro Pump. When that happens Brionne along with Palafin appear in front of Ursaring with their bodies covered in water as Misty speaks.

"Now use Aqua Jet!" Misty calls as the 2-mons hit Ursaring hard in the face causing damage and making the mon slide back a few feet away. Ursaring manages to stop itself, it groans a little in pain then sees Golisopod and Carracosta appear in front of it. Golisopod has his left claws ready while Carracosta's curled into a ball as Misty speaks.

"Now use Poison Jab and Rollout!" Ursaring counter with Slash!" Both trainers call Golisopod covers his left claws in poison, Carracosta's rolling forward while Ursaring covers its claws in white energy. The 3-mons roar at each other and collide creating an explosion. They then appear out of the smoke and slide a few feet away from each other. Misty along with her Pokémon glare at Agrev and his Ursaring with the 2 of them looking at them. We now head over to Leaf's battle against Wakin as Leaf calls for a command.

Leaf calls Espathra's eyes glow it quickly fires the waves of psychic energy and manages to grab the 2 mons and moves them to safety. After that Wakin along with his Crawdaunt notice Leaf's Venusaur charging up a Solar Beam as Leaf speaks.

"Fire Venusaur!" "Crawdaunt block!" Both trainers call Venusaur roars as it fires a large grassy beam that heads for Crawdaunt. Crawdaunt quickly brings up its arms as the Solar Beam connects creating an explosion as Leaf speaks.

"Did that work?!" Leaf says as when the explosion clears it shows that Crawdaunt is left unscathed surprising Leaf as Wakin speaks.

"That was a nice plan, but it wasn't going to work." Wakin says making Leaf grit her teeth as she speaks.

"Man, they're still tough" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"True but we can't give up as Ash is counting on us" Misty says with Leaf agreeing with her as they continue to battle the 2 men. We now come back to Ash's battle against Gonzap. The 2 trainers along with their Pokémon continue to stare at each other as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Toxicroak use Poison Jab and Breloom use Sky Uppercut!" Gonzap calls as suddenly Toxicroak along with Breloom appear from underneath Krookodile and Dracovish. Toxicroak covers its right fist in poison and upper cuts Krookodile while Breloom's left fist glows and upper cuts Dracovish as Ash speaks.

"I see while Toxicroak and Breloom were still in the Sand Tomb, he had them use Dig to reach Krookodile and Dracovish" Ash says to himself as he continues to look at the battlefield Krookodile along with Dracovish groan in pain. This causes their hold on Gyarados to become undone allowing the mon to continue forward and is about to hit them as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu quick use Extreme Speed then use Protect on Krookodile and Dracovish!" Ash calls Pikachu shoots forward reaching Krookodile and Dracovish instantly. Pikachu quickly summons a barrier that blocks Gyarados's attack. Gyarados cracks the barrier a little bit and sends the 3-mons flying a few feet away, but they manage to safely land on the ground as Ash speaks.

"Are you guys, okay?!" Ash asks with the 3-mons nodding. Krookodile along with Dracovish tell Pikachu thank you with the yellow mouse nodding as Ash then looks forward and calls for his next command.

"Gyarados, Crawdaunt more power!" Gonzap calls Gyarados along with Crawdaunt roar increasing the power of their combined Hyper Beam as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu, Pyroar you can do it!" Ash cheers with the 2-mons nodding as they also increase the power of the Thunder and Overheat.

"Now Hyper Beam!" "Quick block!" Both trainers call Crawdaunt fires two big beams that head for Grovyle and Krookodile. The 2 mons quickly bring up their arms and block the attack.

The sea serpent roars in pain from the super effective attack as there is then an explosion. Out of the explosion appears Pikachu he was sent flying then lands next to his teammates. Ash along with his Pokémon look forward as when the smoke clears it showcases that all of Gonzap's Pokémon are down as Ash speaks.

"Yes, we did it!" Ash cheers along with his Pokémon as Gonzap smirks and speaks.

"Heh you really think so?" Gonzap asks making Ash confused as suddenly all of Gonzap's Pokémon stand back up and are ready to continue as Ash speaks.

"That's right since they're Shadow Pokémon they've a lot of stamina." Ash says as Gonzap speaks.

"You are correct, and this is why my whole team is consisted of Shadow Pokémon because they won't go down easily unlike your Pokémon." Gonzap says while having a smile on his face as Ash speaks.

"My Pokémon may not be Shadow Pokémon but they've a lot of stamina too and will continue to fight until we win!" Ash states with his Pokémon agreeing with him as Gonzap speaks.

"I doubt that now get ready for you and your Pokémon's demise!" Gonzap says while having a serious look on his face as his Pokémon along with Ash's get into battle stances. We now cut away from Ash's battle with Gonzap and come back to the battle between Tracey, Looker, Jessie, James and Biden. After Steelix hurt their Pokémon, we see the groups Pokémon groaning in pain as Tracey speaks.

"He's as tough as ever if this wasn't a life-or-death battle, I would love to make a sketch of his Steelix." Tracey says as Jessie speaks.

"How predictable. Steelix use Dig!" Biden calls when the 5 attacks are about to hit Steelix the Iron Snake quickly digs underground dodging the attacks. The 4 trainers have surprised looks on their faces as before they can tell their Pokémon to dodge Steelix reappears from underground and hits the 5-mons sending them high into the air as they then crash back down on the battlefield. Biden then calls for his next command.

"Now Steelix use Stone Edge!" Biden calls before the 4 trainers can call for their commands Steelix roars it creates multiple sharp stones around it and fires them forward hitting the groups Pokémon including Meowth. Once the sharp stones are gone the groups Pokémon are laying on the ground groaning in pain, the 4 trainers ask their Pokémon if they're okay as Biden speaks.

"So, you really believe that you could defeat me and save these Pokémon what a joke" Biden says while having a confident look on his face making the 4 trainers look at him in anger. We now cut away from this battle and go over to the battle between Misty, Leaf, Agrev, and Wakin. We see Agrev's Ursaring charging at Misty's Pokémon as he calls for a command.

"Great Milotic! Now keep holding onto Ursaring and Vaporeon, Palafin use Aqua Jet!" Misty calls while Milotic continues to hold onto Ursaring, Vaporeon along with Palafin cover their bodies in water and shoot forward heading for the bear. Ursaring tries to break free but is unable to because of Milotic, Ursaring looks forward and sees Vaporeon along with Palafin getting closer as Agrev smiles and speaks.

"Ursaring use Hyper Voice!" Agrev calls Ursaring lets out a loud roar hurting Milotic's along with Vaporeon's and Palafin's ears causing the 2 mons to stop. Milotic's grip on Ursaring loosens, Agrev notices this and calls for a command.

Ursaring then grabs Milotic's tail spins it around and making it hit Vaporeon along with Palafin as the 3 of them are then sent flying crashing into a nearby wall. Ursaring lets out a mighty roar as Misty speaks.

"Now Brionne use Aqua Jet then Aqua Tail!" Misty calls Brionne covers her body in water shoots forward and hits Ursaring hard in the face. After that Brionne covers her tail in water spins around and slaps the bear across the face making the mon groan in pain as Agrev speaks.

"Now Ursaring grab its neck!" Agrev calls Ursaring quickly grabs Brionne's neck with its left hand and begins to squeeze it making Brionne cough in pain as Misty speaks.

"Brionne!" Misty calls in worry as this alerts Leaf along with her Pokémon as they see Ursaring choking Brionne Leaf speaks.

"Espathra quick use Psychic to help Brionne!" Leaf calls when the mon's about to do that Wakin speaks.

"Now Crawdaunt use Night Slash!" Wakin calls as out of nowhere Crawdaunt appears and slashes Espathra causing super effective damage to the mon and making it lay on the ground groaning in pain. Leaf along with her Pokémon are surprised as Wakin speaks.

"You honestly didn't think that I'd let you help out your friend now did you? Because I won't let you get in Agrev's way" Wakin asks making Leaf along with her Pokémon angry as she speaks.

"Oh yeah? Just try to keep us here!" Leaf says with her Pokémon agreeing with her as Wakin smiles he then calls for a command with Leaf calling for a command too causing their Pokémon to clash. Leaf then looks over at Misty's Brionne still being choked by Ursaring as she speaks.

"Don't worry Misty my Pokémon and I will be there soon" Leaf says to herself as she then continues to battle Agrev. We now come back to Misty vs Agrev, Ursaring continues to choke Brionne as Agrev speaks.

"That's it Ursaring keep choking it until you break its neck!" Agrev says with the bear nodding as it grabs Brionne's next with its other hand and begins to increase the tightness of its squeeze making Brionne groan in pain as Misty speaks.

"Brionne!" Misty calls in worry. We now cut away from this battle and go back over to Ash's battle against Gonzap as the man speaks.

---

"Now let's continue. Crawdaunt use Hyper Beam!" Gonzap calls Crawdaunt points its 2 pincers forward they open as it fires two large orange beams that head for Ash's Pokémon as the boy quickly calls for a command.

"Pikachu use Thunder times 2!" Ash calls Pikachu fires 2 large electric bolts that collides with the 2 Hyper Beam's creating an explosion as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Granbull use Shadow Rush!" Gonzap calls out of the smoke appears Granbull its body is covered in shadow energy and hits Pikachu with its right shoulder causing damage and sending the yellow mouse flying. Pikachu then lands on the ground a few feet away as Ash speaks.

"Are you okay Pikachu?!" Ash asks with the yellow mouse nodding as he stands back up Ash then looks forward and speaks.

"You're going to pay for that! Pyroar use Fire Fang on Granbull!" Ash calls Pyroar covers his teeth in fire and jumps forward going to bite Granbull as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Breloom use Mach Punch!" Gonzap calls Breloom shoots forward and instantly reaches Pyroar. Breloom's right fist glows and punches Pyroar hard across the face causing the mon to stop its pursuit on Granbull. Breloom then gets its left fist ready as Gonzap speaks.

"Now use Sky Upper Cut!" "Pyroar dodge then use Flamethrower!" Both trainers' call. Breloom's left fist glows and goes to upper cut Pyroar but the fire lion manages to dodge the attack. Pyroar heats up his mouth and fires a point-blank Flamethrower that hits Breloom causing not only super effective damage but also pushing the mon into Granbull. The mons groan in pain as Gonzap speaks.

"Armaldo use Stone Edge on Pyroar!" Gonzap calls Armaldo quickly creates a large sharp stone, throws it at Pyroar and hits the lion making it slide back a few feet away and fall on the ground groaning in pain as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Gyarados use Hydro Pump on Pyroar!" Gonzap calls Gyarados roars as it fires a large stream of water that heads for Pyroar as Ash speaks.

"Grovyle intercept it was Leaf Blade!" Ash calls Grovyle jumps forward and lands in front of Pyroar. The leaves on Grovyle's arms turn into blades as the grass gecko connects with the Hydro Pump. The Hydro Pump pushes Grovyle back a little bit but the grass gecko roars and destroys the move by cutting it in half. Ash along with his Pokémon cheer, but the cheers don't last for long as Toxicroak appears in front of Grovyle and his its right fist ready as Gonzap speaks.

"Now use Poison Jab!" "Ninetales quick use Zen Headbutt then Ice Beam!" Both trainers' call. When Toxicroak goes to jab Grovyle Ninetales shoots forward she covers her head in psychic energy and collides with Toxicroak's fist. The 2 mons go back and forth for a little bit, but Ninetales manages to knock Toxicroak away making the mon slide back a few feet. Ninetales then fires an icy beam that goes to hit Toxicroak as Gonzap speaks.

"Toxicroak get rid of it with Brick Break then use Sludge Bomb!" Gonzap calls Toxicroak's right hand glows white and chops down on the icy beam easily getting rid of it. Toxicroak then takes a deep breath then starts firing multiple poison bombs of sludge that head for Ninetales, Grovyle, and Pyroar as Ash speaks.

"Ninetales use Iron Tail to deflect!" Ash calls Ninetales, covers all nine of her tails in steel energy and begins to easily deflect all of the poison bombs of sludge. After Ninetales gets rid of the final Sludge Bomb she sees Armaldo charging up something as Gonzap speaks.

"Armaldo use Flash Cannon!" Gonzap calls Armaldo fires the steel beam that hits Ninetales causing super effective damage and pushing her into Grovyle along with Pyroar. The 3-mons groan in pain as Gonzap calls for his next command.

"Now Crawdaunt use Hyper Beam on them!" Gonzap calls Crawdaunt fires 2 Hyper Beams that head for the 3 mons as Ash speaks.

"Dracovish use Fishious Rend and Krookodile use Crunch!" Ash calls the 2 mons shoot forward they get in front of the Hyper Beams and bite down easily destroying them. When that happens Toxicroak along with Granbull appear in front of them as Gonzap calls for his commands.

"Toxicroak use Rock Smash on Krookodile and Granbull use Play Rough on Dracovish!" Gonzap calls before Ash can call for a command Toxicroak punches Krookodile hard in the chest while Granbull begins to repeatedly punch Dracovish. Krookodile along with Dracovish are then sent flying crashing into Pyroar, Grovyle, and Ninetales. The 5-mons groan in pain while Gonzap smiles Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Extreme Speed then Iron Tail on Toxicroak and Granbull!" Ash calls Pikachu instantly shoots forward reaching the 2 mons. Pikachu covers his tail in steel energy and hits them causing damage and making them slide a few feet away as Gonzap speaks.

"Breloom use Mach Punch!" "Pikachu use Protect then Thunderbolt!" Both trainers call Breloom shoots forward it goes to punch Pikachu, but the yellow mouse summons a protective barrier and blocks the attack. Once the barrier goes away Pikachu then fires a point-blank Thunderbolt which hits Breloom and sends it crashing back on the battlefield as Gonzap calls for his next command.

"Now Armaldo use Stone Edge!" Gonzap calls Armaldo, summons multiple sharp stones around it and fires them at Pikachu as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Double Team to dodge!" Ash calls Pikachu creates multiple copies of himself and dodges the sharp stones as they hit the clones instead. Suddenly Crawdaunt appears in front of Pikachu and has its right pincer ready as Gonzap speaks.

"Now use Night Slash!" Pikachu quick jump in the air to dodge then use Thunderbolt!" Ash calls Crawdaunt covers its right pincer in dark energy and goes to hit Pikachu, but the yellow mouse quickly jumps in the air. In the air Pikachu sparks his cheeks and is about to fire the electric bolt as Gonzap speaks.

"Now grab it Gyarados!" Gonzap calls Gyarados shoots forward and manages to grab Pikachu with its tail surprising the yellow mouse as Ash speaks.

"That won't work! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" "Now Gyarados dodge!" Both trainers' call. When Pikachu's about to use Thunderbolt Gyarados quickly let's go of Pikachu and dodges the electric bolt. When that happens, Pikachu looks down and sees Crawdaunt, Armaldo, Granbull, and Toxicroak looking at him while charging up their attacks. Pikachu then looks over at Gyarados and sees it charging up an attack too as Gonzap speaks.

"Crawdaunt use Hyper Beam, Armaldo Flash Cannon, Granbull Moonblast, Toxicroak Sludge Bomb, Gyarados use Dragon Pulse!" Gonzap calls as the 5-mons fire their attacks. Crawdaunt fires 2 Hyper Beams, Armaldo fires a steel beam, Granbull fires a pink orb, Toxicroak fires multiple bombs of sludge, and Gyarados fires a purple draconic beam. They all go to hit Pikachu as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Thunder times 5!" Ash calls Pikachu lets out a mighty "Pika!" and launches 5 large Thunders that collide with the attacks. Unfortunately for Pikachu he's unable to summon a 6th Thunder and gets hit by Crawdaunt's second Hyper Beam. Pikachu's sent crashing into the ceiling creating an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu!" Ash calls in worry as Pikachu starts to fall towards the ground Gonzap speaks.

"Now grab it with your tail Gyarados and squeeze it!" Gonzap calls Gyarados quickly grabs Pikachu with its tail again and begins to squeeze the yellow mouse tightly as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Squeeze it tighter Gyarados!" Both trainer's call before Pikachu can fire the electric bolt Gyarados squeezes its tail tighter making Pikachu groan in pain and forcing him to stop as Gonzap speaks.

"Looks like your Pikachu can't fight anymore" Gonzap says as Ash speaks.

"No Pikachu can still fight, and he'll break out of Gyarados's hold!" Ash responds as Gonzap smirks and speaks.

"I knew you'd say that and you're right your Pikachu can probably still get out of Gyarados's tail. So, in order for that to not happen I'll get rid of it permanently." Gonzap says while having a serious expression on his face surprising Ash as he speaks.

"You don't mean" Ash says as Gonzap speaks.

"Oh, I mean it Gyarados charge up your strongest Dragon Pulse and get rid of that Pikachu!" Gonzap calls the sea serpent nods as it begins to charge up the attack Ash speaks.

"I won't let you! Guys come on let's help Pikachu!" Ash says while looking at his other Pokémon. The 5-mons see Pikachu in danger and stand back up when they go to help the yellow mouse Gonzap speaks.

"Crawdaunt Hyper Beam and Armaldo Stone Edge!" Gonzap calls the 2-mons fire their moves as Ash speaks.

"Dodge!" Ash calls the 5-mons manage to easily avoid the attacks once they do they notice that they're now surrounded by Gonzap's Pokémon as he speaks.

"Did you really think that I'm going to let your other Pokémon do as they please? How naive but don't worry once I'm done getting rid of your Pikachu your other Pokémon will be next and then you." Gonzap says while pointing at Ash as he speaks.

"That's not going to happen!" Ash responds as Gonzap speaks.

"Well then let me give you a taste of reality. Gyarados fire the Dragon Pulse and you other 5 make sure that brats other Pokémon don't get in the way!" Gonzap calls with his Pokémon nodding as Ash speaks.

"Guy's help Pikachu!" Ash says with his mons nodding as they along with Gonzap's Pokémon charge forward and continue to battle each other. As they're fighting Gyarados lets out a mighty roar and fires a big Dragon Pulse that heads for Pikachu as Ash speaks.

"PIKACHU!" Ash yells in concern causing his other Pokémon to look. They try to go save Pikachu, but Gonzap's Pokémon continue to get in their way making them angry as all they can do is watch as the dragon beam's getting closer to Pikachu. Grovyle looks on he can't believe that all he can do right now is watch while his friend is helpless. Grovyle doesn't like this, he doesn't want to see Pikachu, his trainer, or his other friends getting hurt, and he'll save Pikachu no matter what. Grovyle gets a determined look on his face as he yells.

"GRO! VLYE!" Grovyle lets out a mighty yell and glows a bright white surprising everyone as Gonzap speaks.

"What the?!" Gonzap says in surprise as Ash speaks.

"Grovyle's evolving!" Ash says in shock as Gonzap looks at his other Pokémon and speaks.

"What're you idiots doing?! Stop it!" Gonzap calls with the 5-mons nodding as they jump forward going to attack the still glowing grass gecko. Grovyle looks at them then shoots forward going pass all of them and knocking them away surprising Gonzap. The leaves on Grovyle's arms become grassy blades as he then collides with the Dragon Pulse. The dragon beam tries to knock Grovyle away, but the grass gecko continues to roar as he begins to change. Grovyle grows taller, gains a bushy tail, the stick in his mouth grows a bit longer, and he gains a red crest on his stomach.

The still glowing Grovyle then begins to easily cut through the Dragon Pulse until he completely destroys it and reaches Gyarados. Once Grovyle reaches Gyarados the light surrounding him fades away as what was once a Grovyle is now a Sceptile. Ash along with Gonzap and their Pokémon all have surprised looks on their faces as Sceptile then covers his left fist in electricity and punches Gyarados hard across the face sending the sea serpent crashing face first into the ground. When that happens Gyarados lets go of Pikachu causing the mon to start falling towards the ground, Sceptile quickly shoots towards Pikachu, catches him then safely lands on the ground too. Pikachu then opens his eyes, he looks at Sceptile and says thank you with the grass gecko nodding as he then puts Pikachu down. Ash still has a surprised look on his face but then smiles and speaks.

"Amazing Sceptile you evolved!" Ash says happily as the grass gecko looks at him and smiles. After that Ninetales, Pyroar, Krookodile, and Dracovish come over to Sceptile and congratulate the mon too. Sceptile looks at them and says thank you. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield Gonzap's still has a surprised look on his face until he then looks at Gyarados and at his other 5 Pokémon who have surprised looks on their faces and speaks.

"What're you doing Gyarados?! Get up right now! And you 5 break out of your shock already!" Gonzap yells with the 6-mons nodding Gyarados stands back up while the other 5 regain their composure and get into battle stances. Ash's Pokémon notice this they look at them and get into battle stances too as Gonzap speaks.

"Just because your Grovyle evolved means nothing you're still no match for me!" Gonzap states as Ash speaks.

"We'll see about that because now I don't see how we'll lose. Let's go guys!" Ash responds with his Pokémon agreeing with him. Before Ash and Gonzap continue their battle we now go over to Biden's battle against Tracey, Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth. We see the groups Pokémon lying on the ground groaning in pain as Biden speaks.

---

"Now then I believe that it's time for you to give up you can't defeat me" Biden says while having a confident smile on his face as Tracey speaks.

"No, it may look bad for us right now, but we won't give up!" Tracey states with Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth agreeing with him. Biden looks at Tracey then looks at his Scyther who's trying to stand back up. Biden smiles and speaks.

"Is that so? Well then let's see what you have to say after your Scyther's gone. Steelix use Iron Tail on Scyther!" Biden calls Steelix roars it covers its tail in steel energy and goes to hit Scyther as Tracey speaks.

"Scyther dodge!" Tracey calls Scyther tries but is unable to as the previous attack injured him greatly and he's now panting heavily. Scyther sees the tail coming towards him as Biden speaks.

"It's over for your Scyther! End it Steelix!" "Scyther get out of their!" Both trainers' call. Looker's Pokémon along with Jessie's Pokémon, James's Pokémon, Meowth, and Tracey's Smeargle and Venomoth try running towards Scyther but are too far away. The only one that's close to Scyther is Marill, Marill sees Scyther in trouble. She quickly stands up, runs in front of Scyther and gets into a protective position as Tracey speaks.

"Marill look out!" Tracey says but Marill stays put standing her ground. As the tail's about to hit the 2 mons Marill gets a determined look on her face and fires a big Hydro Pump that connects with Steelix's tail as Biden speaks.

"That won't work break through it Steelix!" Biden calls Steelix roars and begins to easily push down on the large stream of water. Marill's having a hard time pushing the tail back as Tracey speaks.

"Marill you can do it I believe in you!" Tracey yells. Marill hears her trainers cry even though she's having a hard time pushing the tail back she won't give up and roars.

"MARILL!" Marill roars not only increasing the power of her Hydro Pump but also begins to glow a bright white shocking everyone as Tracey speaks.

"Marill's evolving" Tracey says as they see Marill get bigger and change. Once the light of the evolution goes away what was once a Marill is now an Azumarill. Azumarill's Hydro Pump gets bigger she manages to knock away Steelix's tail and hit the iron snake causing damage and pushing the mon back a few feet away. Everyone's surprised by Azumarill's strength as Tracey speaks.

"Amazing Azumarill!" Tracey says with the blue bunny nodding as Biden speaks.

"Don't get cocky just because your Marill evolved my Steelix will still crush it! Steelix use Stone Edge!" Biden calls Steelix roars and fires multiple sharp stones towards Scyther and Azumarill as James and Looker speak.

"Weezing use Gyro Ball!" "Drapion use Brutal Swing!" The 2 trainers' call. Weezing covers its body in steel energy while Drapion covers its claws in dark energy the 2-mons spin and easily get rid of the sharp stones as Biden calls for his next command.

"Steelix use Flash Cannon!" Biden calls Steelix fires the steel beam as Looker speaks.

"Now Arcanine use Fire Blast!" Looker calls Arcanine heats up its mouth and launches a large blast of fire out of it. The Fire Blast easily goes through the Flash Cannon and hits Steelix creating an explosion. Steelix groans in pain Biden's getting angrier as he calls for his next command.

"Steelix blow them away with Shadow Rush!" Biden calls Steelix roars it covers its body in shadow energy and heads for the mons as Jessie speaks.

"Now Wobbuffet use Counter!" Jessie calls Wobbuffet jumps forward he's glowing red and collides with Steelix. The iron snake tries to knock Wobbuffet away, but Wobbuffet manages to easily knock Steelix back as Jessie calls for her next command.

"Now Arbox use Dark Pulse!" Jessie calls Arbox quickly fires the stream of dark energy that hits Steelix's face making the mon groan in pain as Looker speaks.

"Let's keep up the pressure! Croagunk use Brick Break!" Victreebel use Leaf Blade!" "Scyther use Rock Smash!" "Have a taste of my Fury Swipes!" The 3 trainers along with Meowth say. Croagunk along with Victreebel, Scyther, and Meowth jump forward going to hit Steelix as Biden speaks.

"Steelix use Dig to dodge!" Biden calls but Steelix can't dodge as it's flinching from the Dark Pulse. This allows for the 4 mons to hit Steelix causing more damage to it and making it groan in pain as Biden speaks.

"Steelix Iron Tail!" "Lickitung knock it away with Power Whip!" Biden and Jessie call. Steelix covers its tail in steel energy and goes to hit the 4 mons, but Lickitung quickly turns its tongue into a grassy whip and manages to knock the tail away. Biden grits his teeth as he then sees Smeargle along with Azumarill taking in deep breaths as Tracey speaks.

"Now Hydro Pump!" Tracey calls as the 2-mons fire a large stream of water that combine into one and goes to hit Steelix as Biden speaks.

"Dodge Steelix!" "Venomoth hold it in place with Psychic!" Both trainers' call. When Steelix goes to dodge it's unable to move because of the paralysis. Venomoth then fires out the psychic waves and begins to hold Steelix in place as Biden speaks.

"What?!" Biden says in surprise as Tracey speaks.

"DO IT!" Tracey yells with the 2 mons nodding as their combined Hydro Pump hits Steelix dead on. Steelix is sent crashing into the wall behind Biden. Once the Hydro Pump goes away Steelix's stuck in the wall then a few seconds later it falls on the ground showcasing that it can't battle anymore. Biden has a surprised look on his face as Tracey smiles and speaks.

"We did it!" Tracey cheers along with everyone else as Meowth speaks.

"Whew I thought that we were goners there a few times" Meowth says with Jessie and James nodding as Looker speaks.

"True but we did it and you 3 along with your Pokémon did great" Looker says with the 3 of them nodding. Meanwhile over with Biden he still has a surprised look on his face he then recomposes himself as he returns Steelix back to its Pokeball and begins to run away as Jessie speaks.

"He's getting away!" Jessie says as Looker speaks.

"He won't get far. Croagunk use Poison Jab!" Looker says with Croagunk nodding as it quickly runs forward gets in front of Biden and jabs him hard in the stomach with its right hand. Biden coughs in pain and is then knocked out. The 4 humans along with their Pokémon let out a relief sigh as Looker speaks.

"Now then let's save these captured Pokémon" Looker says with the group nodding as they go around freeing the captured Pokémon and begin to heal them with Tracey's supplies. As they're healing the mons Tracey begins to think.

"Ash, Misty, and Leaf I hope you're all safe" Tracey says to himself as he continues to heal the mons we come back over to Misty's and Leaf's battle against Agrev and Wakin. We zoom in on the battle and see Agrev's Ursaring still choking Misty's Brionne while Misty's other Pokémon are on the ground groaning in pain. Leaf along with her Pokémon have been trying to help Misty but Wakin's Crawdaunt keeps getting in their way. We come back to Misty's battle against Agrev as the man speaks.

"Hahaha! Just a few more seconds and your Brionne will be no more!" Agrev says while having an evil smile on his face as Misty speaks.

"Brionne break free I know you can!" Misty says. Brionne hears her trainer but is still unable to do anything as Misty begins to think.

"This is bad Brionne's not going to last long what can I do?" Misty thinks to herself in frustration. Togepi looks at Misty then back at Brionne Togepi gets a determined look on his face looks at Misty and speaks.

"Togi, togi!" Togepi says telling Misty that he can help. Misty looks at Togepi and can see that he's serious. Misty nods as she looks forward and speaks.

"Okay Togepi I'm trusting you let's save Brionne. Use Metronome!" Misty says with Togepi nodding as he begins to sway his fingers back and forth Agrev speaks.

"Heh what's that going to do? It'll most likely give you some lame move that won't do anything to Ursaring" Agrev says as Misty speaks.

"As long as it's a move that can help Brionne I don't care!" Misty says with Togepi agreeing with her as Agrev speaks.

"Fine by me but I'm not waiting Ursaring finish Brionne off already!" Agrev calls with the bear nodding as it begins to squeeze Brionne's neck tighter making the mon starting to lose air as Misty speaks.

"Togepi hurry!" Misty says with Togepi nodding as he finishes swaying his fingers and they glow. Once the glow disappears Togepi suddenly rockets out of Misty's arms his body gains a white aura and rams his body hard into Ursaring's stomach. Ursaring coughs in pain which causes his grip on Brionne to loosen as he then fully let's go of her. Ursaring's then sent flying and crashes below Agrev's feet. Agrev has a surprised look on his face as Misty speaks.

"Amazing Togepi that Metronome turned into a Double Edge, and you saved Brionne!" Misty says happily making Togepi smile. Togepi then asks Brionne if she's okay. After Brionne catches her breath, she looks at Togepi saying she is and thank you with Togepi nodding. Meanwhile with Agrev he still has a surprised look on his face and begins to think.

"Impossible how could a Double Edge from a Togepi of all things be able to push Ursaring back?" Agrev says to himself as Ursaring then stands back up Agrev breaks out of his shock looks back at Misty and speaks.

"That attack from your Togepi caught us off guard but you'll need more than that to take down Ursaring!" Agrev says as the bear lets out a mighty roar. Misty's other Pokémon hear this, they stand back up and stand next to Brionne and Togepi as Misty speaks.

"And we'll defeat Ursaring right guys!" Misty says with her Pokémon letting out a mighty roar too. Leaf along with her Pokémon look over at them and smile as Leaf speaks.

"Looks like they're doing okay" Leaf says with her Pokémon nodding as Wakin speaks.

"So, does this mean that you'll now point your attention towards me?" Wakin asks as Leaf speaks.

"That's right and we're taking you down!" Leaf says with her Pokémon agreeing with her. We now come back over to Misty's battle with Agrev as he calls for a command.

"Ursaring use Hyper Beam!" Agrev calls Ursaring fires a big beam as Misty speaks.

"Milotic use Mirror Coat!" Misty calls Milotic gets in front of the beam and takes the hit. Milotic groans a little in pain but then her body glows as she fires out a blast of her own that goes to hit Ursaring as Agrev speaks.

"Block Ursaring!" Agrev calls Ursaring quickly brings up its arms and blocks the attack as it explodes. When the explosion clears Ursaring brings down its arms and once it does it sees Golisopod along with Carracosta appearing in front of it as Misty speaks.

"Now use Liquidation!" Misty calls before Agrev can call for a command Carracosta along with Golisopod create water swords with their hands and slash Ursaring causing more damage to the mon as Agrev speaks.

"Ursaring use Shadow Rush!" "Carracosta, Golisopod dodge!" Both trainers' call. Ursaring roars it covers its body in shadow energy and goes to hit the 2 mons, but they dodge causing Ursaring to miss. Ursaring's surprised as it then looks forward and sees Misty's Vaporeon taking a deep breath as Misty speaks.

"Now Vaporeon use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls Vaporeon, fires out a large stream of water from her mouth and hits Ursaring. The move begins pushing Ursaring back as Agrev speaks.

"Ursaring destroy it with Hammer Arm!" Agrev calls Ursaring roars as it covers both of its arms in white energy and slams them down on the Hydro Pump getting rid of it as Misty calls for her next command.

"Now Palafin use Flip Turn then Jet Punch!" Misty calls Palafin shoots forward and hits Ursaring. Palafin goes back inside his Pokeball but doesn't stay in there for too long as a few seconds later he comes back out and is now in his hero form. Palafin covers his left fist in water shoots forward and punches Ursaring hard across the face causing more damage and almost knocking the wind out of it as Agrev speaks.

"Ursaring counter with Slash!" "Dodge Palafin and Togepi use Calm Mind then Metronome!" Both trainers call Ursaring goes to slash Palafin with its left claws but Palafin jumps back avoiding the attack. Meanwhile Togepi calms his mind increasing his special attack/defense power, Togepi then quickly sways his arms until they glow as Misty speaks.

"Fire Togepi!" Misty calls as Togepi's summons an orange ball of energy in front of him then launches a big Focus Blast that hits Ursaring creating an explosion. When the explosion clears Ursaring's groaning in pain and is panting heavily as Misty speaks.

"Okay Brionne you're up! Use Whirlpool!" Misty calls Brionne nods as she jumps in the air and roars creating a large Whirlpool. As Brionne continues to roar she then begins to glow a bright light surprising everyone as Agrev speaks.

"No, it can't be!" Agrev says as Misty's speaks.

"Brionne's evolving" Misty says as they all see Brionne grow longer, gets long flowing blue hair, and looks more like a seal. Once the light fades what was once a Brionne is now a Primarina as Misty speaks.

"She evolved into a Primarina!" Misty says happily as Primarina roars and throws the large Whirlpool at Ursaring sucking the mon in. Inside the Whirlpool Ursaring spins around and around until the Whirlpool disappears causing the bear to fall on the ground landing on its back. Ursaring stands back up and begins to sway back and forth as it's dizzy Misty speaks.

"Okay Primarina let's end this use Sparkling Aria!" Misty calls Primarina lets out a beautiful voice that summons multiple orbs of water around her and fires them towards Ursaring as Agrev speaks.

"Dodge Ursaring!" Agrev calls but the bear can't dodge as it's too dizzy. A couple seconds later the orbs hit Ursaring creating multiple explosions and causing Ursaring to roar in pain. A few seconds later the explosions stop and Primarina lands back on the ground. They all look forward, waiting to see the results and when the smoke clears Ursaring's lying on its stomach unable to continue as Misty smiles and speaks.

"We Did It!" Misty cheers along with her Pokémon as she then runs over to Primarina hugs her and speaks.

"You were amazing Primarina and congrats on evolving!" Misty says, making the mon smile. Misty's other Pokémon walk over she tells them good job as well as they then congratulate Primarina on evolving too making her smile. Meanwhile with Agrev he has a surprised look on his face then speaks.

"I can't believe it I lost…." Agrev says in disbelief as he returns Ursaring then gets on his knees. We now come over to Wakin he sees that Agrev has lost and speaks.

"Pathetic" Wakin says in disappointment as Leaf speaks.

"And you're going to be joining him soon!" Leaf says as Wakin looks at her and speaks.

"I doubt it now Crawdaunt use Crabhammer on Nosepass!" Wakin calls Crawdaunt covers its right pincer in water jumps forward and goes to hit Nosepass as Leaf smirks and speaks.

"That won't work! Nosepass use Thunder Wave!" Leaf calls Nosepass quickly fires 5 electric rings that connect with Crawdaunt and stop it in its tracks as it's now paralyzed. Crawdaunt can feel electricity flowing throughout its body as Wakin speaks.

"It doesn't matter that you slowed down Crawdaunt I'll just make it go faster. Crawdaunt use Dragon Dance then hit Nosepass with Crabhammer!" Wakin calls Crawdaunt roars as it has purple draconic energy spinning around it. Crawdaunt can feel that its attack along with its speed have increased, Crawdaunt looks at Nosepass and goes to hit it with Crabhammer as Leaf speaks.

"Espathra use Psychic to pull Nosepass back and Altaria use Moonblast on Crawdaunt!" Leaf calls Espathra quickly fires the psychic waves that manage to grab Nosepass and pull the mon back to safety as Crawdaunt jabs the ground instead. Altaria then creates a large pink orb of fairy energy and fires it towards Crawdaunt as Wakin speaks.

"Dodge Crawdaunt then use Hyper Beam on Altaria!" "Magnezone use Protect then Zap Cannon!" Both trainers call Crawdaunt jumps back a few feet and avoids the Moonblast. Once Crawdaunt lands it points its two pincers forward and fires 2 Hyper Beams that go to hit Altaria. Magnezone appears in front of the mon and summons a protective barrier that blocks the attack. Once the barrier goes down Magnezone creates a ball of electricity and launches it at Crawdaunt as Wakin speaks.

"Dodge Crawdaunt!" Wakin calls Crawdaunt quickly jumps to the right and avoids the attack as Leaf calls for a command.

"Now Shuckle use Sticky Web!" Leaf calls as Shuckle begins firing multiple webs that connect with Crawdaunt and lowers the mons speed as Wakin speaks.

"Crawdaunt break out of their with Hyper Beam!" Wakin calls when Crawdaunt goes to use the move Leaf speaks.

"I don't think so! Venusaur use Solar Beam, Altaria Moonblast, and Magnezone use Thunder!" Leaf calls the 3-mons roar as they all fire their moves that combine into one attack and go to hit Crawdaunt as Wakin speaks.

"Dodge Crawdaunt!" Wakin calls but Crawdaunt's unable to dodge as the combined blast hits it creating an explosion. When the explosion clears everyone can see Crawdaunt still standing. Leaf along with her Pokémon have surprised looks on their faces while Wakin smiles. Wakin's smile doesn't last for long as he along with everyone else see Crawdaunt fall on its back knocked out. Wakin is surprised while Leaf smiles and speaks.

"We Won!" Leaf cheers along with her Pokémon as Wakin speaks.

"I lost? But how?!" Wakin says in anger as he returns Crawdaunt back to its Pokeball. Misty along with her Pokémon run over to Leaf and her Pokémon. Once they make it Misty and Leaf look at each other, smile and give each other a high five. Wakin then looks at the 2 girls celebrating then looks over at Agrev and speaks.

"What're you doing Agrev let's get out of here!" Wakin says with Agrev nodding as they then begin to run away Misty speaks.

"They're getting away!" Misty says as Leaf speaks.

"Don't worry I got this Venusaur use Vine Whip!" Leaf calls Venusaur quickly fires 2 vines that wrap around the two men and stop them. Agrev along with Wakin begin trying to break out of the vines as Leaf speaks.

"You guys won't be able to get out of Venusaur's vines" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"Yep, and it's over for you and Team Snagem" Misty says as Wakin looks at them and speaks.

"We may've lost but our boss is still around, and he'll crush your friend" Wakin says as Agrev speaks.

"Yeah, no matter how strong your friend is he stands no chance against the boss" Agrev says while having an evil smile on his face as Leaf along with Misty roll their eyes as Leaf speaks.

"I've had enough of you guys talking Espathra use Hypnosis to put them asleep" Leaf says with the mon nodding as her eyes glow sending out hypnotic rings that connect with the 2 men and put them asleep. As they're now sleeping Venusaur lays them on the ground as Leaf speaks.

"That's taken care of" Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"Do you think what they said about their boss beating Ash is true?" Misty asks while having a worried look on her face as Leaf looks at her and speaks.

"While their boss definitely looked strong, I can see him giving Ash trouble, but we just have to believe that Ash can win" Leaf says with Misty nodding agreeing with her as they both then look forward hoping for Ash to win. We now come back to Ash's battle against Gonzap. The 2 trainers along with their Pokémon continue to stare at each other as Gonzap speaks.

---

"Hmm sounds like it's gotten a lot quieter out there" Gonzap says as Ash speaks.

"Good then that means that my friends are taking out your men" Ash says as Gonzap speaks.

"That is a possibility and if it is don't think that I'll suffer the same fate as them" Gonzap says as Ash speaks.

"We'll see about that because my Pokémon and I are going to win!" Ash says with his Pokémon agreeing with him making Gonzap annoyed as he speaks.

"You naive little brat. I'll make sure to show you the harshness of reality" Gonzap says as Ash speaks.

"You can try but I have already experienced something like that before." Ash responds making Gonzap angry as he calls for a command.

"Enough talk let's battle! Gyarados use Hyper Beam!" Gonzap calls Gyarados roars and fires a big orange beam towards Ash's Pokémon as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu counter with Thunder and Krookodile, Dracovish run forward!" Ash calls Pikachu fires a large electric bolt that collides with the Hyper Beam and creates an explosion. Out of the smoke appears Krookodile and Dracovish they're running towards Gonzap's Pokémon as Gonzap speaks.

"Breloom use Mach Punch on Krookodile and Granbull use Play Rough on Dracovish!" Gonzap calls the 2 mons shoot forward and reach Krookodile along with Dracovish. As they go to hit them Ash calls for his next commands.

"Krookodile, Dracovish dodge!" Ash calls as the two mons manage to easily dodge Breloom and Granbull. When Krookodile and Dracovish dodge Pyroar along with Ninetales appear as Ash speaks.

"Now Pyroar use Flame Charge on Breloom and Ninetales use Iron Tail on Granbull!" Ash calls Pyroar along with Ninetales roar as they hit the 2-mons causing super effective damage to them and sending them flying as they crash back on the battlefield a few feet away groaning in pain as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Toxicroak use Brick Break on Pyroar and Armaldo use Flash Cannon on Ninetales!" Gonzap calls Toxicroak jumps forward while Armaldo fires the steel beam. As the 2 mons are about to hit their targets Ash speaks.

"Krookodile use Dragon Claw to counter Toxicroak and Dracovish use Crunch on the Flash Cannon then use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Krookodile covers his left claws in green dragon energy jumps forward and collides with Toxicroak. Dracovish covers his teeth in dark energy and bites down on the Flash Cannon easily destroying it. Dracovish then fires a large stream of water out of its mouth that goes to hit Armaldo as Gonzap speaks.

"Armaldo dodge!" Gonzap calls Armaldo quickly jumps to the left and avoids the attack. Once it does Armaldo sees Sceptile appear in front of it with his right fist glowing red as Ash speaks.

"Now Sceptile use Rock Smash!" Ash calls Sceptile's right fist glows a bright red and upper cuts Armaldo doing damage to the mon and lowering its physical defense as Gonzap speaks.

"Armaldo use Crush Claw!" "Sceptile dodge!" Both trainers call Armaldo's left claw glows a bright red and goes to hit Sceptile. But the grass gecko moves to the left and avoids the attack. Suddenly Dracovish appears in front of Armaldo as Ash speaks.

"Now Dracovish use Dragon Rush then use Fishious Rend!" Ash calls Dracovish covers its body in dragon energy and hits Armaldo making the mon cough in pain. Dracovish's lower jaw glows blue and bites down hard on Armaldo causing major damage to the mon as Ash speaks.

"Okay Dracovish finish it off with Hydro Pump!" Ash calls with Dracovish nodding as it fires a big stream of water out of its mouth that consumes Armaldo sending it flying until it hits the wall behind Gonzap. Armaldo then falls on the ground knocked out, Gonzap has a surprised look on his face while Ash smiles and speaks.

"Yeah, that's one down!" Ash cheers as Gonzap speaks.

"Don't get cocky just because you took down one of my Pokémon. Crawdaunt use Hyper Beam on Sceptile and Dracovish!" Gonzap calls Crawdaunt points both of its pincers at the 2 mons and fires 2 beams at them as Ash speaks.

"Sceptile, Dracovish dodge and Sceptile run towards Crawdaunt!" Ash calls the 2 mons manage to easily dodge the 2 Hyper Beams. Sceptile then begins running towards Crawdaunt as Gonzap speaks.

"Gyarados stop Sceptile with Shadow Rush!" "Pikachu use Extreme Speed then Thunderbolt!" Both trainers' call. When Gyarados's about to use Shadow Rush Pikachu shoots forward at blinding speed and hits Gyarados hard in the face making the mon stop. Pikachu then sparks his cheeks and fires an electric bolt that makes Gyarados roar in pain as it then falls on the ground. This allows for Sceptile to keep running towards Crawdaunt as Gonzap speaks.

"Crawdaunt attack Sceptile with Night Slash!" Gonzap calls Crawdaunt covers both of its pincers in dark energy and jumps forward going to hit Sceptile as Ash speaks.

"Sceptile dodge then use Leaf Blade!" Ash calls Sceptile moves to the left and dodges Crawdaunt's attack making the mon hit the battlefield instead. The 2 leaves on Sceptile's arms turn into grassy blades as he jumps forward and slashes Crawdaunt appearing right behind it. Crawdaunt groans in pain as it then falls on its stomach also knocked out. Gonzap's surprised while Ash smiles and speaks.

"Great job Sceptile!" Ash says with Sceptile nodding. Gonzap then looks over at his other Pokémon and calls for his commands.

"Toxicroak use Poison Jab on Ninetales!" Gonzap calls Toxicroak nods as it jumps towards the ice fox, covers its right hand in poison and goes to hit her as Ash speaks.

"Krookodile stop Toxicroak then use Aerial Ace!" Ash calls Krookodile quickly appears in front of Ninetales and catches Toxicroak's right hand with his left hand. Krookodile's right claws glow blue as he jabs Toxicroak hard in the stomach with them making the mon cough in pain as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Toxicroak use Brick Break!" "Krookodile use Dig to dodge!" Both trainers' call. Toxicroak's left hand glows white and goes to upper cut Krookodile, but the croc jumps backwards avoiding the attack. Krookodile then dives underground but a few seconds later he bursts out from underneath Toxicroak and sends the mon flying high into the air. Krookodile goes after Toxicroak as Gonzap speaks.

"Breloom, Granbull go after Krookodile!" "Pyroar, Ninetales use Flamethrower and Ice Beam to stop them!" Both trainers' call when Breloom along with Granbull are about to go after Krookodile Pyroar along with Ninetales fire their respective attacks forcing the 2 mons to dodge and stop their pursuit. Breloom along with Granbull look at Pyroar and Ninetales with the 2-mons looking at them. Gonzap then looks in the air and calls for his next command.

"Toxicroak use Close Combat on Krookodile!" "Krookodile use Stone Edge!" Both trainers' call. Up in the air Toxicroak begins falling towards Krookodile and has its fists ready. Krookodile summons multiple sharp stones around him and fires them towards Toxicroak. Toxicroak sees the sharp stones coming and begins to easily punch/kick the sharp stones away. Once Toxicroak destroys all of the sharp stones it sees Krookodile getting closer and goes to punch him with its right fist as Ash speaks.

"Krookodile dodge then use Dragon Tail!" Ash calls when Toxicroak goes to punch Krookodile the croc manages to dodge the attack. Krookodile covers his tail in green dragon energy spins around hits Toxicroak hard in the stomach making the mon cough in pain as Ash speaks.

"Now Krookodile finish it off with Stone Edge!" Ash calls Krookodile creates one large sharp stone and throws it at Toxicroak hitting the mon. The sharp stone sends Toxicroak crashing down hard on the battlefield creating an explosion. Krookodile then lands back down he looks forward to see the results, when the smoke clears it showcases that Toxicroak's laying on its back and is unable to battle. Ash along with his Pokémon cheer while Krookodile roars gaining a Moxie boost as his attack power has increased. Gonzap's getting angrier as he looks over at Breloom and Granbull then speaks.

"You two better win! Now use Shadow Rush!" Gonzap calls Breloom along with Granbull roar as they both cover their bodies in shadow energy and begin running towards the 2 mons as Ash speaks.

"Pyroar use Bounce and Ninetales use Dig!" Ash calls Pyroar's body glows blue and shoots high into the air while Ninetales dives underground causing Breloom and Granbull to miss. A few seconds later Ninetales bursts from underneath Granbull and hits it causing damage to the mon. Ninetales then looks at Granbull and opens her mouth as Ash speaks.

"Now Ninetales use Blizzard!" "Granbull dodge!" Both trainers' call. Granbull's unable to dodge in time as Ninetales lets out a loud "Nine!" and fires a large Blizzard that consumes Granbull. The pink dog groans in pain as once the Blizzard ends it showcases that Granbull's now completely frozen. Gonzap's surprised as Ash calls for his next command.

"Okay Ninetales use Iron Tail!" Ash calls Ninetales, covers all nine of her tails in steel energy jumps forward and hits the frozen Granbull knocking it out of the ice and sending it landing on the battlefield a few feet away creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears everyone can see that Granbull's knocked out making Ash smile as Gonzap speaks.

"Why you! Breloom use Mach Punch on Ninetales!" Gonzap calls Breloom shoots forward reaching Ninetales instantly its right fist glows as Ash speaks.

"That's not going to work! Pyroar use Bounce and Flame Charge!" Ash calls up in the air Pyroar has finished charging up his bounce attack and begins heading for Breloom. As Pyroar's heading for the mon he covers his body in fire too and looks like a flaming comet as Ash speaks.

"Do It Pyroar!" Ash says as Pyroar lets out a mighty roar and hits Breloom before it could hit Ninetales creating a big explosion. When the smoke clears everyone can see Pyroar standing over a defeated Breloom as Ash speaks.

"Alright that's the 5th one down just one more to go and we'll win!" Ash says with his Pokémon roaring in agreement as Gonzap speaks.

"Yes, you do have one more and it's my strongest Pokémon. GYARADOS USE HYPER BEAM!" Gonzap calls as the sea serpent stands back up lets out a mighty roar and fires a giant Hyper Beam towards Pyroar, Ninetales, and Krookodile as Ash speaks.

"Pyroar use Overheat, Ninetales Blizzard, and Krookodile use Focus Blast!" Ash calls the 3 mons roar and fire their moves that combine and connect with the Hyper Beam. The 3 mons try to push the blast back but are unable to as the beam destroys their attacks and hits the 3 of them creating an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Pyroar, Ninetales, Krookodile!" Ash calls in worry as out of the smoke appear the 3 mons who're sent flying then land back on the battlefield groaning in pain as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Gyarados use Shadow Rush on them!" "Dracovish intercept it with Dragon Rush!" Both trainers call Gyarados roars it covers its body in shadow energy and heads for the 3 mons. Dracovish covers its body in dragon energy and collides with Gyarados. Dracovish tries its best to knock Gyarados away, but the sea serpent overpowers Dracovish breaks through its Dragon Rush and hits it. Dracovish is then sent flying and crashes next to Ninetales, Pyroar, and Krookodile groaning in pain as well. Gyarados lets out a mighty roar in victory as suddenly Sceptile appears in front of it and is clenching his right fist as Ash speaks.

"Sceptile use Thunder Punch then Leaf Blade!" Ash calls before Gonzap can call for a command. Sceptile covers his right fist in electricity and upper cuts Gyarados. Sceptile then turns the 2 leaves on his left arm into a grassy blade and slashes Gyarados's neck doing more damage to the sea serpent. Sceptile smirks but then sees Gyarados covering its mouth in purple dragon energy as Gonzap speaks.

"Now Dragon Pulse!" Gonzap calls Gyarados lets out a mighty roar as it fires out a big Dragon Pulse that consumes Sceptile and sends him crashing next to the other 4 creating an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Sceptile!" Ash calls in worry. When the smoke clears it showcases Sceptile laying on his back groaning in pain alongside Ash's other Pokémon as Gonzap speaks.

"Now's time to end them! Gyarados fire another Hyper Beam!" Gonzap calls Gyarados lets out a mighty roar creating a big ball of orange energy and fires it as the 5-mons as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Extreme Speed then Protect!" Ash calls Pikachu dashes forward reaching his teammates instantly. Pikachu then summons a protective barrier and begins to block the attack. As Pikachu's blocking he notices the barrier starting to crack as Gonzap speaks.

"Break that barrier Gyarados!" "Pikachu don't give up!" Both trainers' call. Gyarados roars increasing the power of its Hyper Beam and starts to crack the barrier more and more. Pikachu's having a hard time keeping the barrier up, but he knows that if it goes down then it'll not only hit him but also his teammates. Pikachu doesn't want that to happen he lets out a mighty "Pika!" and increases the strength of the barrier. A few seconds later there's an explosion covering the entire battlefield. When the smoke clears it showcases Pikachu panting heavily with Gyarados panting heavily too as Ash speaks.

"Great job Pikachu I knew you could do it!" Ash cheers as the yellow mouse looks at him and nods as Gonzap speaks.

"It managed to block a Hyper Beam from Gyarados?" Gonzap says while having a surprised look on his face as Ash speaks.

"That's right Pikachu didn't want to see his friends get hurt which allowed him to pull out some extra strength increasing the power of the Protect and we'll use that power to defeat Gyarados!" Ash states with Pikachu agreeing with him as Gonzap speaks.

"You honestly expect me to believe that the bond your Pikachu has with its teammates was enough to give it the strength it needed to block that Hyper Beam?" Gonzap asks as Ash speaks.

"Yep, that's right!" Ash responds making Gonzap grit his teeth as he speaks.

"Ridiculous! That makes no sense a bond isn't what makes a Pokémon strong, and I'll prove it to you by crushing your Pikachu!" Gonzap says while having a serious look on his face as Ash speaks.

"Well bring it on! And we'll show you that our bond can overcome anything!" Ash responds, making Gonzap angry as he speaks.

"Enough talk! Gyarados use Dragon Pulse!" Gonzap calls Gyarados roars and fires a large Dragon Pulse at Pikachu as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Surf to block it!" Ash calls Pikachu gains a blue outline and roars summoning a big wave of water that collides with the Dragon Pulse and gets rid of it. The wave of water heads for Gyarados as Gonzap speaks.

"Gyarados break through that water then use Crunch on Pikachu!" Gonzap calls Gyarados roars as it shoots forward and easily breaks through the Surf reaching Pikachu. Gyarados covers its teeth in dark energy and goes to bite down on the yellow mouse as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Double Team to dodge then jump in the air!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly creates multiple clones of himself and dodges the attack as Gyarados bites a clone instead. Pikachu jumps in the air and begins to spark his cheeks with Gyarados looking at him as Ash speaks.

"Now use Thunderbolt!" "Gyarados counter with Dragon Pulse!" Both trainers' call. Pikachu along with Gyarados roar as they fire their respective moves which collide and explode creating a cloud of dust as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Extreme Speed then Iron Tail!" Ash calls inside the cloud of dust Gyarados's looking for Pikachu but can't find him. Up in the air Pikachu shoots down towards Gyarados, covers his tail in steel energy and slams it down hard in Gyarados's head causing the sea serpent to crash face first on the ground and get rid of the cloud of dust as Gonzap speaks.

"Dragon Tail Gyarados!" "Dodge Pikachu!" Both trainers call Gyarados covers its tail in green dragon energy and goes to hit Pikachu, but the yellow mouse quickly backs away dodging the attack as Gonzap speaks.

"Now use Shadow Rush!" Gonzap calls Gyarados roars as it covers its body in shadow energy shoots forward and hits Pikachu. Pikachu coughs in pain as he's sent flying crashing next to Ash's other 5 Pokémon as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu!" Ash calls in worry when the dust clears Pikachu's laying on his back groaning in pain but can still battle. He looks over at Gyarados as Gonzap speaks.

"THAT'S IT I'M ENDING THIS NOW! GYARADOS HYPER BEAM!" Gonzap yells Gyarados lets out a mighty roar it creates a large ball of orange energy which causes some of the rubble on the battlefield to shake as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu we're ending this too! Use Thunder times 5!" Ash calls Pikachu nods as he begins to charge up the move. Once Gyarados and Pikachu are done charging their attacks the 2 trainers speak.

"FIRE!" The 2 trainers yell as Gyarados fires a giant Hyper Beam while Pikachu fires 5 large Thunders. The attacks travel through the battlefield fast until they collide. Once the attacks collide, they begin going back and forth creating a strong wind in the process. As they continue Pikachu's Thunders begin to overtake the Hyper Beam as Gonzap speaks.

"WHAT'RE YOU DOING GYARADOS?! MORE POWER!" Gonzap yells as Gyarados roars increasing the power of its beam and begins to push the 5 Thunders back as Ash speaks.

"It still has this much power?!" Ash says while having a surprised look on his face as Gonzap speaks.

"THAT'S RIGHT THIS IS THE KIND OF POWER YOU GET WHEN USING A SHADOW POKEMON! NO "BOND" CAN OVERCOME IT!" Gonzap says as Ash speaks.

"That's not true! And Pikachu and I will prove it!" Ash responds as Gonzap speaks.

"WELL IN THAT CASE YOU BETTER HURRY BECAUSE YOUR PIKACHU IS STARTING TO LOSE STEAM!" Gonzap says as Ash looks at Pikachu and sees him panting heavily as he begins to think.

"Darn I hate to admit it but he's right Pikachu's starting to lose steam because of those attacks he got hit with before" Ash says to himself as Gonzap speaks.

"You see you won't see that kind of exhaust with a Shadow Pokémon because no matter how tired they get they'll continue to fight until their very last breath NOW! DIEEEE!" Gonzap says as Gyarados roars putting more power into its Hyper Beam and pushing Pikachu's Thunder's back. Pikachu continues to fight but doesn't know if he'll be able to hold out much longer. Just when it looks like Pikachu's about to give up Ash speaks.

"Pikachu don't give up! I know you're tired but not just me but everyone's counting on you to defeat Gyarados!" Ash says as Pikachu looks back and sees his injured teammates. Pikachu begins to think that Ash's right he alongside his teammates have been fighting hard this entire time and if he loses then his alongside their efforts would be for nothing. Even though Pikachu's tired he begins to dig deep wanting to bring out more power. Pikachu continues to go deeper and deeper until he finds something. Pikachu looks forward and yells.

"PIKA! CHUUUUUU!" Pikachu lets out a mighty yell increasing the power of his Thunders and pushing the Hyper Beam back as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, that's it Pikachu keep going!" Ash cheers while Pikachu continues to yell pushing the beam back more and more as Gonzap yells.

"GYARADOS HURRY IT UP!" Gonzap yells the sea serpent roars trying to increase the power of its Hyper Beam more but is unable to as the 5 Thunders are too strong. The 5 Thunders continue to push back the Hyper Beam until they eventually destroy it and begin to shock Gyarados making the sea serpent roar in pain. Gonzap has a surprised look on his face as Ash speaks.

"Keep going Pikachu!" Ash cheers while Pikachu continues to yell Gonzap gets mad and yells.

"I'M NOT DONE YET GYARADOS USE SHADOW RUSH!" Gonzap yells. While still being shocked by the Thunders, Gyarados covers its body in shadow energy and begins to slowly make its way towards Pikachu, surprising Ash as Gonzap begins to laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SEE WHAT DID I TELL YOU NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOUR "BOND" IS IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE STREAGTH OF A SHADOW POKEMON! NOW GYARADOS DESTROY THEM!" Gonzap yells as Gyarados roars continuing to slowly make its way towards Pikachu as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu keep going!" Ash cheers as Pikachu continues to yell but he doesn't know if he'll be able to draw out more power. Suddenly Ninetales, Pyroar, Krookodile, Sceptile, and Dracovish stand up and begin cheering for Pikachu too as Ash speaks.

"See Pikachu Ninetales, Pyroar, Krookodile, Sceptile, and Dracovish are cheering you on so you can't give up now. Let's show Gonzap that our bond is stronger than any Shadow Pokémon! KEEP GOING PIKACHU WE BELIEVE IN YOUUUUU!" Ash cheers with the 5-mons cheering as well. Pikachu hears their cheers and feels more strength flowing inside him. Meanwhile Gyarados has finally made it to Pikachu as Gonzap yells.

"THIS IS THE END DO IT GYARADOS!" "PIKACHUUUUU!" Both trainers yell when Gyarados goes to hit Pikachu. The yellow mouse gets a sudden bursts of power he looks at Gyarados and yells.

---

"PIKA! CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu lets out a mighty yell as suddenly a 6th Thunder appears and begins to shock Gyarados causing more damage to the sea serpent as Gonzap yells.

"WHAT?!" Gonzap yells in shock as Ash speaks.

"DO ITTTTT! PIKACHUUUUUUU!" Ash cheers along with Ninetales, Pyroar, Krookodile, Sceptile, and Dracovish. Pikachu continues to yell as suddenly the 6 Thunder's begin to send Gyarados flying back. Gyarados continues to fly back as it goes pass Gonzap and crashes into the wall behind him that creates a big explosion causing the entire building to shake and making everyone feel it as they then begin heading to where Ash and Gonzap are. Back to the battlefield we see Pikachu panting heavily. He's about to fall down but then catches himself at the last second and looks forward waiting to see the results. Everyone continues to look forward as when the smoke clears, they can see Gyarados stuck in the wall but then a couple seconds later the sea serpent falls back on the battlefield groaning in pain. Gyarados then stands back up and looks at Pikachu while panting heavily as Gonzap speaks.

"HAH! What did I tell you that 6 Thunder surprised me but look Gyarados can still battle!" Gonzap says while having a smile on his face as Ash speaks.

"Darn was that not enough" Ash says while Ninetales, Pyroar, Krookodile, Sceptile, and Dracovish look at Gyarados and get into battle stances too as Pikachu speaks.

"Pika!" Pikachu says telling the five of them to stand down. The 5-mons look at Pikachu they see him continue to pant heavily while having a serious look on his face. The 5-mons then stand down making Pikachu happy as he then looks back at Gyarados. The 2 mons continue looking at each other panting heavily as Gonzap speaks.

"Now then let's continue Gyarados use Shadow Rush!" Gonzap calls but Gyarados doesn't do that. It continues looking at Pikachu and smirks with Pikachu smirking too. Suddenly Gyarados closes its eyes then falls on the ground not moving anymore as Gonzap speaks.

"GYARADOS WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! GET UP! GET UP RIGHT NOW! THIS IS AN ORDER!" Gonzap yells but Gyarados doesn't respond as it's completely knocked out Ash speaks.

"Is it finally down?" Ash questions as he then looks over at Pikachu how has a smile on his face making Ash smile too as he speaks.

"WE BEAT GONZAP!" Ash cheers along with his Pokémon. Pikachu smiles but then goes to fall down as he's exhausted. Just when Pikachu's about to hit the ground Sceptile manages to pick him up. Pikachu looks at Sceptile and thanks him with Sceptile nodding. After that Ash along with the rest of his Pokémon run over, when they make it Sceptile hands Pikachu over to Ash who looks at the yellow mouse and speaks.

"You did it Pikachu you were amazing, and I wasn't expecting you to unlock a 6th Thunder that caught me by surprise" Ash says with the yellow mouse nodding. Ash then looks at his other Pokémon and speaks.

"And I can't forget about you guys neither as you all did a great job too and Sceptile congrats again on evolving" Ash says with the 5-mons nodding as suddenly Ninetales, Pyroar, and Dracovish jump on Ash tackling him and Pikachu to the ground and begin to lick them (Dracovish is gently nibbling on Ash's head) as Ash speaks.

"Guys stop that tickles" Ash says as he and Pikachu laugh but the 3 mons ignore the command as Ninetales and Pyroar continue to lick their faces while Dracovish continues to gently nibble on Ash's head. Off to the side Krookodile and Sceptile watch them while having smiles on their faces. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield Gonzap's surprised that he lost and speaks.

"I lost? But I had 6 Shadow Pokémon with me how could I have lost?!" Gonzap says to himself in anger as he then calms down and speaks.

"Is a bond between a trainer and Pokémon really that special?" Gonzap questions as then he along with Ash and his Pokémon hear a voice.

"ASH!" The voice says making Ash and his Pokémon look as they see Misty, Leaf, Tracey, Looker, Jessie, James, Meowth, and their Pokémon running towards them. Ash along with his Pokémon get smiles on their faces as Ash speaks.

"Hey guys!" Ash says while he along with his Pokémon wave at their friends. When the group gets close enough Misty looks at him and speaks.

"Ash are you okay? We heard a big explosion and quickly came here" Misty asks as Ash speaks.

"Yep, my Pokémon and I are doing alright and guess what we defeated Gonzap" Ash says as the group then look around, they see the destroyed battlefield, 6 Pokémon that are probably Gonzap's, and Gonzap himself who has a defeated look on his face as Looker speaks.

"Wow you really did beat him I must say Ash I'm impressed" Looker says while having a smile on his face with the others agreeing with him as Ash speaks.

"Thanks, it was a hard-fought battle, but my Pokémon and I came out on top. Also, Pikachu unlocked a 6th Thunder and my Grovyle evolved into a Sceptile" Ash says as the group look over at the grass gecko who looks at them and smiles. Leaf gets stars in her eyes and speaks.

"Wow he was already cool before but now he looks even cooler!" Leaf says while looking at the mon as Misty speaks.

"Well, your Sceptile isn't the only one who evolved as my Brionne evolved into a Primarina" "And my Marill evolved into an Azumarill" Misty and Tracey say as Ash looks at the two mons smiles and speaks.

"Wow amazing!" Ash says while looking at the 2-mons making them smile. Ash then looks at his friends and speaks.

"Oh, before I forget how did your battles go?" Ash asks as Tracey speaks.

"Our battle against Biden was tough but we won, also the members of the International police are currently taking care of the captured Pokémon" Tracey responds with Ash nodding as Leaf speaks.

"Me and Misty won our battles too and they were pretty easy" Leaf responds while smiling and doing a peace sign with Misty smiling too. Ash looks at his friends and nods. We now go over to Jessie, James, and Meowth. They look around the destroyed battlefield as James speaks.

"I have to say it's a good thing we stopped going after the Twerp and his friends" James says with Jessie, Meowth and their Pokémon agreeing with him. After that everyone then hears a voice.

"Looker!" The voice says causing everyone to look as they see Wes and Rui running towards them. When they make it the 2 of them look around at the destroyed battlefield as Looker speaks.

"Ah Wes, Rui there you are" Looker says while running over to them and when he gets close enough Looker speaks.

"It's great to see you two again and thanks for helping us take down Team Snagem" Looker says as Wes speaks.

"No problem and by the way what happened here?" Wes asks as Looker speaks.

"Oh, it seems like a very intense battle between Ash and Gonzap happened, and Ash came out the victor" Looker responds as Rui speaks.

"Ash?" Rui asks as Looker points over to the boy who's currently talking to his friends as Rui speaks.

"So, that's the trainer who defeated Gonzap I can tell that he's strong and kind" Rui says with Looker agreeing with her as Wes then walks over to Ash. As Wes is walking over to them Ash and his friends look at him. When Wes gets close enough, he looks at Ash and speaks.

"You're the one that took down Gonzap huh?" Wes asks as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, that's right" Ash responds as Wes continues to look at him, he then smiles and speaks.

"Well allow me to say thank you I faced Gonzap and defeated him before but was unable to capture him back then" Wes says as Ash speaks.

"Um you're welcome and are you from the international police?" Ash asks as Wes speaks.

"Yep, that's right I forgot to introduce myself but my name's Wes and I'm one of the top officers of the organization." Wes says as Rui walks next to him and speaks.

"And my name's Rui I'm an officer of the international police too and Wes's top companion" Rui says as Wes looks at her and speaks.

"Top companion?" Wes says as Rui speaks.

"Yep, top companion because if it wasn't for me, you'd be lost in some random place right now" Rui responds as Wes speaks.

"Well, I guess you have a point there" Wes says as Ash speaks.

"Well, it's great to meet you Wes and Rui my name's Ash Ketchum and I'm from Pallet Town" My name's Leaf Green and I'm also from Pallet Town" "My name's Misty and I'm from Cerulean City" "And my name's Tracey" The 4 kids say greeting the 2 young adults with their Pokémon greeting them as well. Wes and Rui look at them and smile. Wes then looks over and Gonzap then loses his smile as he speaks.

"I'll be right back I need to speak with an old friend" Wes says as he then begins walking towards Gonzap Ash speaks.

"He's going over to Gonzap" Ash says as Misty speaks.

"And what did he mean by "old friend"?" Misty asks as Rui speaks.

"Well, you see before Wes joined the international police he used to work with Team Snagem" Rui answers surprising the 4 kids as they speak.

"He worked with Team Snagem?!" The 4 kids say in shock as Rui nods and continues.

"Yes, but after Wes learned about how they treated Pokémon and experimented on them to turn them into Shadow Pokémon he left the group and decided to stop them" Rui says with the group nodding as they then see Wes continuing to walk towards Gonzap. Gonzap lifts up his head and sees Wes once Wes gets close enough Gonzap speaks.

---

"So, you really are working with the International police" Gonzap says as Wes speaks.

"Yep, that's right and now I'm going to put you under arrest so don't try to resist" Wes says as Gonzap speaks.

"Heh if there's one thing that I liked about you, you were always cautious. But in this situation, you don't have to be as I'm coming willingly and will answer any questions you have." Gonzap says surprising Wes as he speaks.

"That's strange usually you'd put up more of a fight" Wes says as Gonzap speaks.

"True you're right about that but after the battle I had with that boy over there I came to the conclusion that I'm done fighting and resisting. I'm also disbanding Team Snagem as well my men won't like hearing that at first, but they'll come to understand later." Gonzap says with Wes nodding as Gonzap continues to speak.

"So come on put me in handcuffs and take me to jail already." Gonzap responds while holding out his hands. Wes nods as he puts the man in handcuffs, once he does that two other international police officers appear and begin to escort Gonzap away. Before Gonzap gets far enough he looks at Wes and speaks.

"Oh, and Wes one more thing" Gonzap says making Wes look at him as Gonzap speaks.

"Make sure my Pokémon get a much better home" Gonzap says as Wes smiles and speaks.

"You can count on me" Wes responds making Gonzap smile as he then continues to be escorted by the 2 officers until he's out of the room. Once Gonzap's gone Wes looks at the 6 mons he left behind and speaks.

"Looks like it's time for me to get to work" Wes says to himself as he then puts on his silver goggles. The group look at him as Leaf speaks.

"What's Wes doing?" Leaf asks as Rui speaks.

"He's about to capture the 6 Pokémon that Gonzap left behind" Rui responds surprising the group as Ash speaks.

"Can he really do that?" Ash asks as Looker comes over and speaks.

"Yes, you remember that I told you about the international police having Snag Machines, right?" Looker asks with the group nodding as Misty speaks.

"Is that what Wes's going to do now?" Misty asks with Looker nodding as he speaks.

"Yep, so just sit back and watch" Looker responds as the 4 kids look at Wes, they see him pull out 6 Ultraball's. Wes's goggles along with the 6 Ultraball's glow as Wes speaks.

"It's time" Wes says as he throws the 6 balls that connect with the 6 mons and suck them inside. The 6 balls then begin to shake they shake 3 times until they ding confirming the captures. Wes then puts his goggles on the top of his head, smiles and speaks.

"Snag complete" Wes says while smiling. The 4 kids have surprised looks on their faces as Tracey speaks.

"Whoa he really caught them" Tracey says as Looker speaks.

"Wes's our best officer when it comes to capturing Shadow Pokémon as he has a lot of experience." Looker says as Misty then speaks.

"Hey Looker, didn't you also say that there was a way to purify Shadow Pokémon?" Misty asks when Looker's about to give the answer Wes appears and speaks.

"Yes, in the Orrie region there's a place called Agate Village that has a stone called the Relic Stone which is able to purify Shadow Pokémon and turn them back to normal. But since the Orre region is far away the international police have made a machine that's able to purify multiple Shadow Pokémon at once." Wes responds with the group nodding as Ash speaks.

"That's great so this means that the Pokémon that were turned into Shadow Pokémon won't be like that anymore" Ash says with Looker, Wes, and Rui nodding as Tracey speaks.

"Question what're you guys going to do with the Pokémon that were captured?" Tracey asks as Looker speaks.

"For the wild ones we'll send them back to their homes and the ones that were taken from their trainers we'll make sure that they get back to them safely." Looker says as Leaf speaks.

"That's great also if it's not too much trouble can we head to Phenic City? As the people their got their Pokémon taken earlier today." Leaf asks as Looker speaks.

"Yes, that's fine in fact that was going to be our first stop" Looker says making the group happy as Wes speaks.

"Well Looker Rui and I will head back to headquarters first to begin interrogating Gonzap and the Team Snagem members." Wes says as Looker speaks.

"Yes, that's fine Jessie, James, Meowth, and I will come back to headquarters once we and the other international officers return the Pokémon back to their homes." Looker says with Wes and Rui nodding as they then say their goodbyes with the group saying goodbye too. Once they're gone Looker looks at the group and speaks.

"Now then I believe it's time we head out as well" Looker says with Ash nodding as he speaks.

"Yep, and our first stop is Phenic City!" Ash says with the group nodding. After that they all return their Pokémon back to their Pokeball's then head towards Phenic City. Once they reach the city, they return not only the Pokémon that were stolen but also the old man's 4 wheeled desert car. The group also used the Pokémon Center to not only heal their Pokémon but also switch them out too. When that was over the group along with Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth say goodbye to the people of the city. After that we now see the group along with Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth at a shore as Ash speaks.

"Well looks like this is goodbye for now" Ash says with the 3 adults and Meowth nodding as Looker speaks.

"Yes, it was great to see all of you again" Looker says as Misty speaks.

"Yep, but some more than others though" Misty says while looking at Jessie, James, and Meowth as Jessie speaks.

"Are you looking for a fight!" Jessie says in anger as James speaks.

"Calm down Jessie she's only joking" James says with Meowth agreeing with him as they try to hold Jessie back making everyone laugh. Once the laughing's done Ash looks at Looker and speaks.

"Oh, by the way Looker were you able to find out if Team Snagem was truly working alongside the Cipher Co.?" Ash asks as Looker speaks.

"Well, we don't have any confirmation yet, but Gonzap said that he agreed to talk so hopefully he should have some valuable information for us" Looker responds with Ash nodding as Ash speaks.

"Well, if you find out anything let us know because we can help" Ash says with his friends agreeing with him as Looker speaks.

"Honestly I'd rather not want to get you involved as I don't want to make Delia or Rose angry with me" Looker responds with the 4 kids nodding as he continues.

"But if we do ever get the chance to see each other again and we're in need of help I'll let you know. Also thank you again for helping us take down Team Snagem today." Looker says having a smile on his face making the 4 kids along with Jessie, James, and Meowth smile. After that Ash sends out Lapras who allows the group to get on her back, Lapras then begins to swim away as the group look back on the shore and begin to wave Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth goodbye. They all continue to wave until they all can't see each other anymore. We now focus in on Looker, Jessie, James, and Meowth they've all stopped waving as James speaks.

"You know I'd never thought I'd say this, but it was nice to see the Twerp and his friends again." James says with Jessie and Meowth nodding as Looker speaks.

"Yes, I agree but now we should be getting back to work come on let's go deliver these Pokémon back to their homes so we can go back to headquarters and help Wes interrogate Team Snagem." Looker says with the trio nodding as they go into their truck and begin to drive away. We now come back to the group and see them riding on Lapras's back. As Lapras continues to swim Ash along with Pikachu lay on their backs as Ash speaks.

"Man, what an exhausting day" Ash says with the others nodding as Misty speaks.

"I agree we battled Team Snagem, met up with Looker, those 3 that used to be with Team Rocket, and our Pokémon evolved" Misty says as Leaf speaks.

"Yeah, that part of the day was pretty exhausting, but I did like the time that we spent in Phenic City before everything became crazy." Leaf says with the group nodding as Tracey speaks.

"Well, the good thing about Team Snagem being gone is that we won't have to worry about running into them on our adventures anymore." Tracey says with the group nodding as Leaf speaks.

"True but there's also that Cipher company that Looker mentioned that was probably connected to Team Snagem." Leaf says as Misty speaks.

"I hope we don't run into them anytime soon as after today we need a break from dealing with evil teams." Misty says with the group nodding as Ash then gets back up and speaks.

"Well even if we do run into them one day I know that we can beat them. But for now, we shouldn't worry about them as I still need to get my last two gym badges." Ash says with the group nodding as Misty speaks.

"That's right we're still doing that, and I still need to prepare for the Mandarin Island competition as that's happening soon." Misty says as Tracey pulls out his guidebook and speaks.

"Hmmm let's see according to my guidebook we should be reaching Trovita Island in a couple of days for Ash's next gym challenge and after that it should take us a day to reach Mandarin Island for the water competition." Tracey says with the group nodding as Ash speaks.

"Alright then so the first stop is Trovita Island let's go!" Ash cheers along with everyone else as Lapras continues to swim. We now skip a few hours, it's currently nighttime and we head inside international Police headquarters. We zoom in and see Wes along with Looker in a room currently interrogating Gonzap as Wes speaks.

---

"We just have a few questions for you first off was your team connected to Team Snagem?" Wes asks as Gonzap speaks.

"Yes, we were, and they were the ones who supplied us with Shadow Pokémon" Gonzap says as Wes then looks at Looker with the man nodding as Looker speaks.

"So, our intel was correct. Next question who's the Cipher company's leader?" Looker asks as Gonzap speaks.

"He's an old man named Greevil and before you ask no I don't know much about him our relationship was strictly only business related." Gonzap says with the 2 men nodding as Wes speaks.

"Next question do you know where their base is currently located?" Wes asks as Gonzap speaks.

"Unfortunately, I don't whenever they asked us to ship Pokémon to them, they had my men meet them in certain areas of the Orange Islands. So, no neither me nor my men know where their base resides currently." Gonzap responds with the 2 men nodding as Looker speaks.

"Thank you that's enough questions for now you can go back to your cell." Looker says with Gonzap nodding as he leaves the room and is now being escorted back to his room by a guard. Once Gonzap's gone Wes speaks.

"Well that went pretty well" Wes says as Looker speaks.

"Yes, we learned that Team Snagem and Cipher do have a connection with each other, but we unfortunately don't know where their base is." Looker says as Wes speaks.

"Well, wherever it is I'm confident that we'll find it one day" Wes says with Looker nodding as Wes then lets out a yawn Looker smirks and speaks.

"I think it's time for us to go to bed as today was pretty busy" Looker says with Wes nodding as they leave the room and begin walking to their own rooms to rest. We now cut away from them and go over to the unconstructed Realgam Tower. Inside the tower we see Greevil sitting in his office with Resix there too. Resix gave Greevil a paper that says that Team Snagem has been defeated, Resix looks at Greevil and speaks.

"Now that Team Snagem's been captured what should we do now sir?" Resix asks as once Greevil's done reading the paper he looks at Resix and speaks.

"Nothing Team Snagem being captured doesn't affect us in any way as it was going to happened to them eventually. The international police also don't know where our base is as I made sure not to tell Gonzap that. So, we'll keep doing what we've been doing." Greevil responds with Resix nodding as he then leaves the room. Once Resix's gone Greevil's sitting alone in his chair and speaks.

"Hmmm to be able to take out Gonzap who had 6 Shadow Pokémon in his possession I'll admit the son of Red Ketchum is impressive but compared to me he'll be no match as once I have you nothing will stand in my way." Greevil says to himself while looking at the Lugia picture he smiles as the chapter comes to an end.

Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. Whew long chapter today there were a lot of battles in it tell me which one was your favorite.
