Beginning AN: here it is the next chapter. with Sonic X Shadow Generations releasing next week at the time of this chapter I'm going to at least create the prologue of the winner of the Poll i have going on. it seems Maria Robotnik has won the poll. but I'm not going to leave those who voted for Medli, Cream The Rabbit and Riju hanging. once I feel like the Maria Robotnik story is given enough chapters I'll start the stories for those characters. to keep it simple I'll name the Maria Robotnik story Maria Robotnik Potter just to keep it clear that it's a crossover with Harry Potter in the same scenario multiverse as the rest of my stories. now on with the story.
Chapter 26: Silver Conference Tournament
Soon after leaving Altomare they arrived at the site of the Silver conference.
"So how does the Silver Conference work?" Hela asked as they walked up to registration.
"I can answer that." The Nurse Joy at the registration desk said before Red could answer. "You will have to battle at least one other opponent in a one on one battle for the preliminaries, ending when there are 48 contestants left. After that you will be separated into 16 groups of three and compete against your group Round Robin Style with a win giving you three points, a tie one point, and a loss 0 points, after you have faced both of your group members the one with the most points moves on to the Top 16 then the top 8, top 4, top 2, and final, which are all full 6 on 6 battles with a short break after one trainer loses 3 Pokemon. Also for the Silver League you must register your team before the battles begin."
"In that case..." Hela said looking around, I'll go with Athena, Titania, Dawn, Kitana, Latias, and Mew."
"Surprised you are using the last two." Red said.
"Want to give them a chance." Hela shrugged, "They are still Pokemon, though they will be the last two members of my team I send out."
"Well you are registered." Nurse Joy said. "Good luck Champion Hela. Your only opponent in the preliminaries is a man named Salvadore, and your match starts in 10 minutes."
"Thank you." Hela said before heading to the field with the others except Athena in the Pokeballs, while Red took his granddaughter, still holding the egg, to sit in the stands.
Salvadore sent out Furret while Hela went with Athena, who used Thunderbolt, only for Furret to use Dig to dodge, before Athena used confusion to yank him out of the hole and flying headfirst into an Iron Tail for the win.
"At least as a Champion it is expected you are more powerful then I am." Salvadore sighed. "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Hela said shaking his hand.
The next day were the round robin matches starting with Hela versus Macey, with Hela sending out Athena again.
"So a psychic specialist, versus a fire specialist." Macey smirked. "Let's see how you do, go Slugma."
Slugma started off making a heat haze that made it hard to aim, unfortunately for Slugma, Athena knew Surf and used it to get the entire area, knocking Slugma out. Macey then sent out Electabuzz who started off with Thunderbolt, only to find out Athena has Lightning Rod before Athena teleported out of the way of a fire Punch and hit Electabuzz with a focus punch to the head, followed by a Disarming Voice to knock Electabuzz out. Macey's final Pokemon was Quilava, who went down to a Rain Dance, Thunder combo.
The next battle of their group was Macey versus Jackson with Macey winning.
"Okay, Hela." James said as Hela prepared to make her way to the field. "If you win or tie you move on to the next stage. If you lose you will force a three way Tie Breaker."
"Got it." Hela said going out and releasing Athena again as Jackson used Azumarill, who despite having huge power was unable to survive the Rain Dance, and Thunder combination. The next Pokemon was Shiny Magneton who tried to use Magnet Bomb only for Athena to teleport behind it and hit it with Brick Break, followed by Disarming Voice when it survived with Sturdy. Jackson's final Pokemon was Meganium, but Athena grabbed the vines with co fusion when it tried to use Vine Whip, and yanked it through the air headfirst into an Iron Tail. Knocking Jackson out of the match.
"Congratulations." Red said.
"You did it!" Lily cheered as she hugged Hela.
"So next is the first 6 on 6 battle." James said.
"And it looks like you will be facing Gary." Meowth added as he looked at the screen showing the results.
"That's going to be great." Hela smiled.
"But I'm the one that is going to win." Gary said from nearby. "I've got a special weapon against you."
"We'll see how well it does." Hela fired back.
The next day Hela met Gary on the Rock field, Hela used Titania while Gary started with Nidoqueen. Nidoqueen started off with Megahorn, only for Titania to teleport out of the way and blast Nidoqueen with a Psybeam. Nidoqueen then tried to use Earthquake only for Titania to use Psychic to lift her in the air before she could hit the ground, then knocked her out by increasing the power of Psychic while she could not escape. Next Gary sent out Magmar who started off with lava plume that hit all around damaging Titania, only for her to use hypnosis, the Dream Eater to recover health.
"Huh," Titania muttered to herself. "You dream of being a Magmortar that crushes the enemies of your trainer. "
Titania then uses Psybeam to knock him out. Gary's next Pokemon is Blastoise who used Rapid Spin, to cut through Magical Leaf, and into Titania, it also did a good job stopping Hypnosis. Titania responded with Charge Beam, dealing damage and increasing her power. Titania then used psychic to send a hydro pump back at Blastoise before hitting him with a Thunderbolt. Blastoise responded with Skull Bash only for Titania to Teleport out of the way before knocking him out with a Thunder Punch to the head.
After the Break Hela sent out Kitana while Gary used Arcanine. Arcanine started out with Extreme Speed only to hit a Protect with Kitana then nailing Arcanine with Thunder Wave. Arcanine then used Roar only for Magic Bounce to activate and send Arcanine back instead sending out Umbreon.
"Good luck with this pokemon." Gary laughed. "As a dark type it hits almost your entire team. Thus it is my secret weapon against you."
"Signal Beam." Hela deadpanned the bug type energy lashing out and dealing a lot of damage.
"Oh that's just not fair." Gary complained as Kitana got close to the recovering Umbreon and nailed her in the head with a Rock Smash. "And that's cheating. Espeon can't learn Rock Smash. And them learning Signal beam is becoming rare and rarer as well."
"Kitana is different from other Espeon, but if you look in the pokedex you will see old information from the very first Pokedex from the Hisui Region talking about Espeon learning Rock Smash. I just figured out how."
"Grrr." Gary growled sending out Scizor.
Scizor started out with X-Scissor only for Kitana to duck so he flew over her while she used Calm Mind. Scizor then tried Fury Cutter only to hit Protect while Kitana used another Calm Mind. Scizor then got blasted back by a Shadow Ball to the face then grabbed by Psychic and slammed into the ground leaving him vulnerable to a final Shadow Ball. Next Arcanine was sent out still paralyzed, only to be hit by a Power Gem which with the boost from the two calm minds earlier was enough to knock him out, giving Hela the win.
"I guess that is why you are the Kanto champion." Gary sighed. "I think I'll go into research like gramps. Battling isn't really my thing anyway I just did it because it was expected of me."
With that Gary left.
"You did it!" Lily cheered with the egg in her hands.
The next battle was the top 8 against Harrison on the grass field.
Harrison started out with Kecleon while Hela used Dawn. Kecleon tried to hide only for Dawn to easily sense him with her psychic abilities and knock him back with Psybeam, his color change ability then turned him into a psychic type, so Dawn used Shadow Ball after teleporting away from his Lick attack, thus dealing super effective damage and making him a ghost type which went down to another super effective shadow ball. The next Pokemon was Sneasel who as a dark type thought she was immune, but the time Dawn and the others spent training in Kitana's fur after her evolution left them with the ability to affect dark types and Dawn held Sneasel in place before hitting her with Mystical fire followed by Aura Sphere. Harrison's next Pokemon was Hypno who used Hypnosis only for Dawn to Teleport away and create a Shadow Ball in each hand and smash them into each other creating several dozen smaller and weaker shadow balls, and using them to bombard Hypno before using Night Shade for the win,
After the Break Harrison used Steelix while Hela kept with Dawn. Steelix used Sand Storm while Dawn used Mystical Fire turning some of the sand to glass but Steelix was no where to be seen until he burst out from under Dawn hitting her with Dig into Crunch then used Toxic to spit her out. Dawn responded by teleporting onto his head and slamming him with a point blank Focus Blast followed by Aura Sphere and Mystical fire knocking him out. The next Pokemon was Houndoom who like Sneasel was not happy Dawn could use psychic on dark types and was especially not happy when she sent a smokescreen back at Houndoom with psychic while hiding an Aura Sphere inside it. Houndoom the tried to use Inferno, only for Dawn to teleport behind him and knock him out with another Aura Sphere. Harrison's final Pokemon was Blaziken who took some damage from a Psychic and crash damage from a failed high jump kick, but it was at that point Dawn collapsed from the poison. Athena was sent out next and used Agility to get close and Thunderwave to paralyze it then kept using Agility until it was at max speed and hit the paralyzed Blaziken with Electro Ball, followed by confusion for the win.
After Dawn and Athena was healed it was time to face John Dickson on the grass field,
Hela first sent out Titania against Rhyhorn who used Double Edge only for Titania to teleport out of the way and hit him with Magical Leaf then Calm Mind into Energy Ball while he was trying to turn around to attack again. Next was Rapidash who charged forward with Poison Jab, only to miss as Titania teleported out of the way, though barely, that was a fast Rapidash. Titania then used Grass Knot to trip it up and used two Charge Beams to knock it out both increasing special attack even further. The next Pokemon was Tauros who tried using Raging Bull, but at this point Titania's special attack was strong enough to just lift him up and slam him into the ground with Psychic over and over until her fainted.
After the break Hela sent out Kitana while John sent out Machamp. Machamp started off with Bullet Punch only to run into a Protect. Kitana's eyes then glowed before she used Psychic at point blank followed by using Psych up to copy the Bulk Up just in time for the Future Sight attack to hit followed by a Psybeam to finish it while he was stunned. The next Pokemon was Alakazam, who tried to use Psychic only to find out Kitana was part Dark type, shocking everybody. Alakazam then tried to use Reflect and Light Screen only for Kitana to destroy them with Psychic Fangs before using dark pulse followed by pursuit when she tried to teleport away, knocking her out. The final Pokemon was Muk who as a poison type was in extra trouble with his status moves blocked by Magic Bounce, leading to an easy victory for Kitana.
The next battle was against Sylva Etherel on the ice field.
First was Athena versus Mr. Mime, with Athena using teleport to get to him and attack with Iron Tail while using Brick Break to destroy the Light Screen and Reflects. Next was Sylveon who started skating on the ice only for Athena to use dig to tear up the ice field so skating on it wouldn't work, before bursting up below Sylveon and hitting her with Iron Tail, followed by Thunder while she was in a straight line and too disoriented to dodge. Next was Florges who used Dazzling Gleam, but Athena responded by using Teleport into Nuzzle followed by Thunderbolt. Florges then used Moonblast only for the paralysis tomkick in and let Athena knock her out with another Iron Tail.
After the break Hela used Athena again while Sylva used Clefable. Clefable started off with Meteor Mash only for Athena to intercept it with Thunderbolt before rushing forward and using Iron Tail. Clefable then tried to use Metronome, only for Athena to use dig to avoid it. Good thing too since it ended up as Explosion. The next pokemon was Togekiss who was a part flying type easily went down to Rain Dance into Thunder. The last Pokemon was Alolan Ninetales, whose Snow Warning ability turned the rain into hail.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A loud scream yelled.
"Was that Lance." Hela asked looking up to the section of the audience it came from. "I thought dad was joking when he said that as an ice and fairy type Lance is terrified of Alolan Ninetales."
Ninetales started off with Aurora Veil, into Blizzard, which Athena countered by teleporting behind Ninetales and using Iron Tail, only for the tails to whip back with a Tail Slap in retaliation. Athena then used confusion to grab the hail and throw it at Ninetales, before using Rain Dance to turn the hail back to rain ending the Aurora Veil so it only took two more Iron Tails to win.
The next battle was the Finals, against Eevee Lover Johnny on the Water field. Because of this Hela decided to use Kitana first against Vaporeon.
Kitana started out with Light Screen and Reflect while Vaporeon dived into the water and started setting up Acid Armor, Calm Mind, and Curse until Defense, Attack, Special Attack, and Special Defense were maxed out.
"Why are you smirking like that?" Johnny asked only to pale when Kitana used Psych Up to copy the maxed stats.
"Guess what else?" Hela smirked, causing Johnny to look worried. "Stored Power."
The attack easily defeated Vaporeon and drained the water from the pool. The next Pokemon was Umbreon who lost to a Dazzling Gleam with the boosted stats, and then Jolteon who tried to use Pin Missile on the slow Kitana, only for her to dodge it with Detect and use Stored Power again.
After the break the water had been refilled and Hela sent out Kitana again while Johnny used Glaceon. Kitana used Substitute into Morning Sun as Glaceon froze the water to create a land platform before Kitana used Quick attack into Iron Tail, with Kitana then using Psychic to toss Glaceon in the air before dodging the retaliatory ice beam and knocking him out with another Iron Tail. Next was Espeon who used Light Screen and Reflect while Kitana used Calm Mind and Curse to max her stats again, with Johnny then smirking as he had Espeon use Psych Up, only for him to pale when Magic Bounce stopped it before being knocked out by Dark Pulse, with the last Pokemon being Leafeon who lost to a single Stored Power.
"You did it!" Red smiled. "Now you just need to face the Elite Four and Champion."
"Yep, then I will be champion of two regions." Hela smiled. "Come on we can do that after the award ceremony."
"Being a champion already did give you a major advantage." Meowth said. "But that is why you were the favorite to win,"
"Even champions can be defeated." Dawn said before sighing. "I'm the only one of her pokemon that was knocked out, but new champions are made by defeating the old ones."
"You were knocked out by a status affect." Hela said. "That wasn't your fault. I miscalculated how long Toxic would take to knock you out. I forgot it gets stronger over time. I am sorry about that."
With a smile Dawn nodded as she said "It's okay." And with that they headed to the award ceremony.
Meanwhile at Hogwarts
Lily The PokeWitch has been learning the Hogwarts curriculum like a sponge and even made some friends. she was sorted into Ravenclaw because of her ability to create potions without any formal training and reading recipes from a book.
Severus Snape in particular loves his transfer student because of her skill at potion making to the point where he offered an apprenticeship that she accepted.
but at the moment it was lunchtime and Dumbledore decided to give everyone a show using a pensieve like a projector after Lily told him that Titania was in the Silver Conference Tournament.
everyone was a little confused at their heroine being ordered around by a Pokemon but Lily explained that the Pink Gardevoir was a Pokemon Trainer and when Hela which was the Pink Gardevoir's name won the tournament everyone gave an applause at the hard won victory.
Lily did tell them that Titania's time in Johto wasn't done yet and that there was the Johto elite 4 and the regional Champion Lance remaining. so everyone at Hogwarts will be watching that.
Ending AN: that's the chapter. Johto is almost done with only the Johto Elite 4 and Lance remaining in the way of Hela being the champion for both Kanto and Johto. and after that it's on to Hoenn for Hela, Titania, Dawn and their entourage while Red goes back to Pallet Town to spend time with Delia and Professor Oak.
Next Time: the Johto Arc comes to an end with Hela, Dawn and Titania facing the Elite 4 and Lance and winning a second regional title. before going to Hoenn the Indigo League winner of the year has defeated the Kanto Elite 4 and tracks down Hela for her title but loses the match against her.
