Chapter 106: Orange League Tournament Top 8! Ash vs Barry!

Hello everyone, this chapter will focus on Ash and Barry's battle, and I hope you all enjoy it!

The chapter begins one day after the last chapter ended, it's currently 10am in the morning and the battles have started. Before this, Ash called Prof. Oak to switch out his Pokémon and when he did, he trained them for his battle against Barry with Barry doing some last-minute training too. We now come into present time and head over to stadium 2 where Ash and Barry's battle will take place. In the stands we see Misty, Leaf, Tracy, Nemona, and Hau sitting next to each other. Nemona managed to win her battle easily as she really wanted to watch Ash's battle. Rinto along with Cameron aren't here as they're currently having their battles in their respective stadiums. The group continues to look forward as Nemona speaks.

"Man, I'm excited!" Nemona says with the group nodding as Hau speaks.

"Me too! It's been a while since I've seen Ash and Barry battle each other." Hau says as Misty speaks.

"They've both grown a lot so I'm sure that we're going to see a great battle from them." Misty says with the group nodding as they then hear a voice.

"Here they come everyone!" Jake says causing everyone to look as they see Barry along with Ash and Pikachu walking out of their respective hallways. Once the crowd sees the 2 boys, they let out a loud cheer with Barry, Ash and Pikachu waving at them. They continue to walk until they then go to their respective sides of the battlefield. When they make it the 2 boys look at each other, having smiles on their faces as Jake speaks.

"Now I believe it's time to announce the referee for this battle." Jake says as everyone then see Luana walking towards the referee spot Don George then speaks.

"The referee for this battle is going to be the Orange Crew's North Star and the Kumquat Island Gym Leader Luana!" Don George says causing the crowd to cheer as Luana smiles and waves at them. A couple seconds later Luana makes it to the referee spot then looks at Ash and Barry who smile at her with Luana smiling back as she then begins to speak.

"This is a full 6v6 single battle between contestants Barry and Ash. Both trainers are allowed to switch out their Pokémon at any time and whoever knocks out all of their opponents Pokémon first will be declared the winner. Do both trainers understand?" Luana asks with the 2 boys nodding as Luana continues to speak.

"Now then will both trainers please send out your first Pokémon." Luana says as Barry pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.

"Get ready to lose Ash." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash pulls out a Pokeball too and speaks.

"If anyone's losing it's you." Ash states while also having a confident look on his face and making Barry smirk as he along with Ash go to throw the balls forward.

"Roserade, come out!" "Feraligatr, I choose you!" Both trainers say as they throw the balls forward and send out their Pokémon. Feraligatr is the first one to appear and has a smile on his face ready to battle. Roserade comes out next and has a smile on its face as well. Ash looks at the mon and speaks.

"Who's that Pokémon?" Ash says as he pulls out his Pokedex to scan it.

"Roserade, the Bouquet Pokémon and a Grass/Poison type. Roserade uses its sweet aroma to attract prey, then strikes with thorny whips to defeat it." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.

"So that's what it is." Ash says to himself as in the stands Hau speaks.

"Seems like the first battle is going to be Roserade against Feraligatr." Hau says as Tracey speaks.

"Ash's Feraligatr is at a type disadvantage but he might still have a way for Feraligatr to defeat Roserade." Tracey says with the group nodding as they continue to watch. Back on the battlefield Ash looks at Feraligatr and speaks.

"Feraligatr you may be at a type disadvantage but we can still win!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say with Feraligatr agreeing with them as Barry speaks.

"You sound confident Ash but my Roserade's not going down." Barry says with Roserade nodding as it along with Feraligatr get into battle stances. The 2 trainers along with the 2 mons now wait for the battle to start as Luana speaks.

"Now that both trainers have sent out their Pokémon let the battle begin!" Luana says as Barry speaks.

"Roserade we're attacking first! Use Razor Leaf!" Barry calls. Roserade nods as it points both of its arms forward and begins firing multiple razor-sharp leaves at Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr knock them away with Ice Punch!" Ash calls. Feraligatr nods as he covers both of his fists in ice and begins punching the leaves easily destroying them. Barry then calls for his next command.

"Roserade let's increase the number of leaves with Leaf Storm!" Barry calls with Roserade nodding as it lets out a roar and turns its Razor Leaf into a storm of leaves that head for Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr dodge!" Ash calls. Feraligatr nods as he quickly moves to the left and dodges the attack making Barry smirk as he calls for a command.

"Roserade use Toxic!" Barry calls. Roserade quickly spits out a toxic blob that successfully makes contact with Feraligatr causing the mon to cough as he's now poisoned. Ash has a surprised look on his face while Barry has a smirk and calls for his next command.

"Roserade use Venoshock!" Barry calls. Roserade fires out a stream of poison that heads for Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr dodge then use Ice Fang!" Ash calls. Feraligatr manages to dodge the attack by moving to the right. Feraligatr groans from poison damage but then jumps forward, covers his teeth in ice and goes to bite Roserade as Barry speaks.

"Roserade use Dazzling Gleam to knock Feraligatr away!" Barry calls. Roserade nods as it shines brightly and sends out a big wave of fairy energy that connects with Feraligatr and successfully pushes him away. Feraligatr lands on the battlefield a few feet away landing on his back as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr are you okay?!" Ash asks with the mon nodding as he groans from poison damage then begins to stand back up Barry speaks.

"Roserade let's keep attacking! Use Pin Missile!" Barry calls. Roserade nods as it points its arms forward and sends out multiple pin like missiles at Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr dodge while using Dragon Dance!" Ash calls. As the pin like missiles are about to hit the gator, Feraligatr begins to easily dodge them by dancing and while he's dancing, he's also raising his physical attack power with Dragon Dance. Once Feraligatr has dodged all of the missiles he takes a deep breath as Ash speaks.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls. Feraligatr fires out a big stream of water from his mouth that goes to hit Roserade as Barry speaks.

"Get rid of it with Leaf Storm!" Barry calls. Roserade nods as it points its arms forward again and sends out a big storm of leaves that easily destroy the Hydro Pump and head for Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr use Aqua Jet to dodge then head for Roserade!" Ash calls. Feraligatr covers his body in water, dodges the storm of leaves and begins heading for Roserade as Barry speaks.

"Roserade use Razor Leaf!" "Feraligatr dodge then when you get close enough use Ice Punch!" Both trainers' call. Roserade quickly fires the razor-sharp leaves forward, but Feraligatr manages to dodge them. Feraligatr then covers his right fist in ice and punches Roserade hard in the face causing super effective damage to the mon and making it groan in pain. Ash along with Pikachu have smiles on their faces while Barry has a concerned look on his face but then a couple seconds later, he smiles and speaks.

"Good job on landing that hit Ash, but you made a mistake in having Feraligatr get close to Roserade." Barry says making Ash confused as Barry speaks.

"Roserade use Power Whip!" Barry calls. Roserade nods as suddenly a big green vine appears from out of the ground and jabs Feraligatr hard in the stomach causing super effective damage. Feraligatr coughs in pain and takes some poison damage as Barry continues to speak.

"Now Roserade wrap your vine around Feraligatr and hold it in place!" "Feraligatr quick use Aqua Jet to dodge!" Both trainers' call. Before Feraligatr can dodge Roserade quickly has its vine wrap around Feraligatr holding him in place and squeezing him tightly. Feraligatr's groaning in pain as Barry speaks.

"I now got your Feraligatr where I want it, Ash." Barry says as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr break out of there!" Ash calls but when Feraligatr tries Roserade tightens its vine making it squeeze tighter and Feraligatr groans in poison damage as Jake speaks.

"Looks like Roserade has put Feraligatr in a difficult position what will Ash do?!" Jake says as back on the battlefield we see Ash gritting his teeth and trying to think of something. Barry has a smile on his face then speaks.

"This is the end for your Feraligatr Ash. Roserade use Venoshock!" Barry calls and when Roserade's about to use the move Ash quickly pulls out Feraligatr's Pokeball and speaks.

"Feraligatr return!" Ash says as he points the ball forward allowing for Feraligatr to go inside and causing Roserade's attack to miss. Jake then speaks.

"Ash has successfully returned his Feraligatr." Jake says as in the stands Tracey speaks.

"That was quick thinking on Ash's part because if he kept Feraligatr in there any longer he would've fainted." Tracey says with the group nodding as back on the battlefield Ash looks at Feraligatr's Pokeball and speaks.

"Rest up for now Feraligatr because I'll need you for later." Ash says as he then puts the ball back on his belt Barry speaks.

"Smart choice on returning your Feraligatr so who're you sending in next?" Barry asks as Ash looks at him and speaks.

"I think this one will be a good matchup against Roserade." Ash responds while holding his next Pokeball as he goes to throw it.

"Luxray, I choose you!" Ash says as he throws the ball forward and sends in Luxray. Once Luxray appears she lets out a roar then looks at Roserade and has a serious look on her face with Roserade having the same look. Barry then speaks.

"So, Luxray's your next Pokémon" Barry says as Ash speaks.

"That's right and she's going to take down your Roserade!" Ash states with Luxray agreeing with him and making Barry smirk as he speaks.

"I doubt it now let's continue." Barry says as he goes to call for a command.

"Roserade use Sludge Bomb!" Barry calls. Roserade takes a deep breath and fires out multiple bombs of sludge towards Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Luxray dodge then use Electric Terrain!" Ash calls. Luxray nods as she manages to easily dodge the bombs of sludge. Once she dodges all of them Luxray begins to spark her body and is about to use Electric Terrain as Barry speaks.

"Roserade quick use Pin Missile!" Barry calls. Roserade points its arms forward and sends out multiple pin like missiles that head for Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Luxray blow them away with Discharge!" Ash calls. Just when the missiles are going to hit her Luxray lets out a roar and sends out multiple bolts of electricity everywhere that easily destroy the missiles and hit Roserade doing some damage to the mon. Roserade groans in pain as Ash speaks.

"Good job Luxray now use Electric Terrain!" Ash calls. Luxray continues to roar as she sends out a big wave of electricity that covers the entire battlefield. Once Luxray's done roaring everyone can see some bolts of electricity appearing on the battlefield and Luxray can feel her electric attacks are now stronger. Barry's annoyed that Luxray managed to successfully activate Electric Terrain but then calms himself down as he speaks.

"Just because your Luxray activated Electric Terrain means nothing. Roserade use Leaf Storm!" Barry calls. Roserade looks at Luxray and roars as it sends a big storm of leaves at the mon Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Charge Beam!" Ash calls. Luxray covers her mouth in electricity and fires out a big electric beam that easily blows through the storm of leaves and heads for Roserade as Barry speaks.

"Roserade dodge then use Power Whip!" Barry calls. Roserade quickly jumps to the right and dodges the Charge Beam. Once Roserade lands it points its arms forward and sends out 2 large green vines that head for Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Iron Tail to knock them away then use Wild Charge!" Ash calls. When the green vines go to hit Luxray the electric cat covers her tail in steel energy, spins around and easily knocks the two vines away. Luxray then covers her body in electricity and begins running towards Roserade at a fast speed as Barry speaks.

"Use Sludge Bomb to knock Luxray away!" "Luxray dodge and hit Roserade!" Both trainers' call. Roserade takes a deep breath and begins shooting out multiple bombs of sludge at Luxray. Luxray sees the bombs of sludge coming and is easily avoiding them. Once Luxray dodges all of them she continues running towards Roserade and is getting closer to the mon as Barry speaks.

"Roserade use Poison Jab!" Barry calls. Roserade covers its left hand in poison and collides with Luxray. When the two mons collide Roserade tries its best to knock Luxray away, but Luxray begins to overpower Roserade because the Electric Terrain is making the Wild Charge stronger. Just when it seems like Luxray's about to win Barry speaks.

"Roserade blow Luxray away with Dazzling Gleam!" Barry calls. Before Ash can tell Luxray to dodge Roserade shines bright and roars sending out a big wave of energy that begins to push Luxray away. As Luxray's being pushed away she's groaning in pain but is also sparking her body as Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Thunder times 4!" Ash calls. Luxray lets out a roar as she sends out 4 large Thunders that manage to break through the Dazzling Gleam and head for Roserade as Barry speaks.

"Roserade dodge!" Barry calls. Roserade manages to easily dodge the first 3 Thunders but was unable to dodge the 4th one as it begins to shock it. Roserade cries out in pain from the move until it disappears. Now that the Thunder is gone, we see Roserade groaning in pain as we then see Luxray jumping towards Roserade with her teeth ready as Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Ice Fang!" Ash calls. Luxray covers her teeth in ice and goes to bite Roserade as Barry speaks.

"Roserade blow Luxray away with Leaf Storm!" Barry calls. Just when Luxray's about to land her attack Roserade looks at Luxray and roars sending out a big storm of leaves that consumes Luxray. Inside the storm of leaves Luxray's groaning in pain and is slowly being pushed back as Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Discharge to break free then land that Ice Fang!" Ash calls. Luxray lets out a roar as she sends out electricity everywhere easily getting rid of the Leaf Storm and also shock Roserade too causing damage to the mon. Now that Luxray's free she jumps towards Roserade again and goes to bite it as Barry speaks.

"Roserade dodge!" "Do it Luxray!" Both trainers' call. Unfortunately for Barry Roserade's unable to dodge as Luxray manages to bite down hard on Roserade's left shoulder. Roserade cries out in pain from the super effective attack until Luxray lets go of the mon causing Roserade to fall on its back as Barry speaks.

"Roserade!" Barry calls in worry as he along with everyone can see that Roserade's knocked out Luana makes the call.

"Roserade's unable to battle Luxray's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Ash, Pikachu, and Luxray to cheer. Back at Oak's ranch Delia, Mr. Mime, Oak, Daisy, Rose, and Ash's Pokémon cheer too with Raichu and Pyroar cheering the loudest. Back in the stadium the crowd cheers too as Tracey speaks.

"Seems like it was a good idea for Ash to bring in Luxray." Tracey says with the group nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry returns Roserade back to its Pokeball and tells the mon thank you. Once he puts the ball away, he looks forward and speaks.

"Good job at beating Roserade but you won't beat my next one." Barry says as he pulls out another Pokeball and goes to throw it.


"Rapidash, come out!" Barry says as he throws the ball forward and sends out his Kantonian Rapidash. When the mon appears, it has a serious look on its face and looks at Luxray with Luxray looking at it as Ash speaks.

"So, he's bringing in his Rapidash next. Luxray didn't take too much damage from Roserade so I can keep her in for now." Ash says to himself as he looks at Luxray and speaks.

"Luxray let's keep going!" Ash says with Luxray nodding as she along with Rapidash get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Barry speaks.

"Rapidash use Sunny Day!" Barry calls. Rapidash roars to the sky and summons the harsh sunlight. Rapidash can now feel its fire power growing as Ash thinks.

"Rapidash's fire type moves are now going to be stronger. Looks like the Electric Terrian is still active so I should knock out Rapidash now while I have the chance." Ash says to himself as he looks at Luxray and calls for a command.

"Luxray use Thunder times 4!" Ash calls. Luxray roars and fires out 4 large Thunders that head for Rapidash as Barry speaks.

"Counter with Fire Blast!" Barry calls. Rapidash heats up its mouth and fires out a big blast of fire that collides with the 4 Thunders and creates a big explosion along with a strong gust of wind. Jake then speaks.

"You can feel that power!" Jake says as back on the battlefield when the wind stops there's a big cloud of smoke in the middle of the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Charge Beam!" Ash calls as suddenly an electric beam appears out of the smoke and hits Rapidash causing damage to the mon and making it slide back a few feet away. Barry has a surprised look on his face as when the smoke clears, he looks over at Ash and Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Nice it hit!" Ash says happily with Luxray smiling as she then gets a special attack power boost. Back in the stands Hau speaks.

"Wait how did Ash's Luxray hit Rapidash?" Hau asks as Leaf speaks.

"It's thanks to Luxray's X-ray vision allowing for her to see through the smoke and hit Rapidash." Leaf answers with Hau nodding. Back on the battlefield Barry speaks.

"You got lucky landing that hit Ash but that's the only one you'll get." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash speaks.

"I don't know Barry I have a feeling that Luxray will be able to land more hits on Rapidash." Ash responds with Luxray agreeing with him and making Barry smirk as he speaks.

"Okay then let's see how you'll deal with this! Rapidash use Heat Wave!" Barry calls. Rapidash roars as it sends out a big wave of heat that heads for Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Luxray blow it away with Discharge!" Ash calls. Luxray sparks her body and roars sending out multiple electric bolts that collide with the Heat Wave and create an explosion. There's now a big cloud of smoke covering the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Charge Beam!" Ash calls with Luxray nodding as she uses her X-ray vision to find Rapidash. Once she does Luxray covers her mouth with electricity and fires out an electric beam that heads for Rapidash as Barry speaks.

"Just as I thought. Rapidash use Drill Run!" Barry calls. Rapidash sees the Charge Beam coming it quickly turns into a drill and shoots forward. Rapidash easily goes through the Charge Beam and now goes to hit Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Luxray knock Rapidash away with Iron Tail!" Ash calls. Luxray covers her tail in steel energy, spins around and connects with Rapidash. Rapidash tries to knock Luxray's tail away, but Luxray manages to knock Rapidash away making the mon land back on the battlefield a few feet away as Ash speaks.

"Luxray use Thunder times 5!" Ash calls. Luxray roars and sends out 5 large Thunders at Rapidash as Barry speaks.

"Rapidash dodge then use Flare Blitz!" Barry calls. Rapidash manages to easily dodge the 5 electric bolts then covers its body in fire and begins running forward. As Rapidash is running the fire around its body becomes blue and continues heading for Luxray as Ash speaks.

"Luxray counter with Wild Charge!" Ash calls. Luxray covers her body in electricity and begins running forward heading for Rapidash. We see the 2-mons getting closer and are about to collide with each other as Barry speaks.

"Rapidash use High Horsepower!" Barry calls with Rapidash nodding as just when it along with Luxray are about to collide, Rapidash's blue fire disappears as it's replaced with an orange outline. Rapidash then manages to bypass Luxray's Wild Charge and hit the mon causing super effective damage. Ash has a surprised look on his face while Luxray groans in pain then looks at Rapidash whose heating up its mouth as Barry speaks.

"Rapidash finish Luxray off with Fire Blast!" Luxray use Flash then Discharge!" Both trainers' call. Before Rapidash can use Fire Blast Luxray glows brightly and sends out a light that blinds Rapidash. Luxray then sparks her body and sends out multiple bolts of electricity. Rapidash groans in pain but then manages to fight through it and fires out a big blast of fire from its mouth that connects with Luxray creating an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Luxray!" Ash calls in worry as the smoke is clearing the Electric Terrain goes away. Everyone continues to look at the battlefield curiously as when the smoke fully fades away, they can see Rapidash standing while groaning a little in pain and looking at an unconscious Luxray who's laying on her stomach knocked out. Luana then speaks.

"Luxray's unable to battle Rapidash's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Barry and Rapidash to cheer. On the other side of the battlefield Ash returns Luxray back to her Pokeball and tells the mon thank you. Once Ash puts the ball back on his belt he looks over at Barry and speaks.

"I wasn't expecting for your Rapidash to use High Horsepower." Ash says as Barry speaks.

"I knew the only way to take down Luxray was to use that move, but I needed Luxray to get closer. So, I had Rapidash use Flare Blitz and when Luxray got close enough that's when I knew to call for High Horsepower." Barry responds with Ash nodding as he pulls out another Pokeball and speaks.

"Nice plan Barry but that won't work on my next one. Feraligatr come back out!" Ash says as he throws the ball forward and sends Feraligatr back in. Once he appears he's ready to battle but is still groaning in pain from his previous battle with Roserade. Barry then speaks.

"So, you brought Feraligatr back in looks like it's not going to last long making this an easy win for my Rapidash." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr may be tired but I'm confident that he can still take down your Rapidash!" Ash states with Feraligatr agreeing with him and making Barry smirk as Rapidash gets into a battle stance. Ash then looks at the sky and sees that Sunny Day is still active then begins to think.

"Looks like that Sunny Day is going to be here for a little longer meaning that Feraligatr's water type moves won't be as strong as they usually are, but I have a way to deal with that." Ash says to himself as he looks at Feraligatr and speaks.

"Feraligatr let's win!" Ash says with Feraligatr agreeing as he gets in a battle stance too. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Ash speaks.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls. Feraligatr takes a deep breath and shoots out a big stream of water from his mouth that heads for Rapidash as Barry speaks.

"Rapidash dodge then use Fire Blast!" Barry calls. Rapidash quickly jumps to the right and dodges the stream of water. Rapidash then covers its mouth in fire and shoots out a big blast of fire that heads for Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr dodge then use Hydro Pump again!" Ash calls with Feraligatr nodding as he groans from poison damage but then quickly jumps to the left and dodges the Fire Blast. When Feraligatr lands suddenly Rapidash appears in front of him as Barry speaks.

"Use High Horsepower!" Barry calls. Rapidash gains an orange outline and hits Feraligatr causing more damage to the mon making him groan in pain as Barry speaks.

"Time for the finisher. Rapidash use Fire Blast!" Barry calls with Rapidash nodding as just when it's about to use the move Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr quick use Rain Dance!" Ash calls. Feraligatr lets out a roar causing the Sunny Day to go away as it's replaced with dark clouds. Rain then begins to fall which makes Rapidash stop using Fire Blast as Barry speaks.

"Rapidash don't stop use Fire Blast!" "Feraligatr quick use Hydro Pump!" Both trainers' call. Just when Rapidash's about to use Fire Blast Feraligatr quickly shoots out a big stream of water that's powered up by the rain and consumes Rapidash. Rapidash is sent flying as it crash lands back on the battlefield a few feet away. When the Hydro Pump disappears, everyone can see Rapidash laying on its left side knocked out as Luana speaks.

"Rapidash's unable to battle Feraligatr's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Ash, Pikachu, and Feraligatr to cheer. Back at Oak's ranch Delia, Mr. Mime, Oak, Daisy, Rose and Ash's Pokémon cheer too with the water types, Krookodile, and Tyrantrum cheering the loudest. Back at the stadium in the stands the crowd cheers too as Misty speaks.

"Nice Feraligatr won" Misty says happily as Tracey speaks.

"It was a good thing that Ash called for Feraligatr to use Rain Dance when he did as otherwise Feraligatr would've lost." Tracey says with the group nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry's surprised that Rapidash lost but then recomposes himself as he returns the mon back to its Pokeball. Barry then puts the ball away as he pulls out another Pokeball and speaks.


"Empoleon, come out!" Barry says as he throws the ball forward and sends out his Empoleon. When the mon appears, it has a serious look on its face and looks forward as Jake speaks.

"Barry's next Pokémon is his Empoleon!" Jake says as the crowd looks at the mon Leaf speaks.

"Barry's sending in Empoleon now?" Leaf says as Tracey speaks.

"Well considering that Rain Dance is still active and Feraligatr's weakened it does make sense for Barry to bring Empoleon in." Tracey says with the group nodding. Back on the battlefield Ash looks at Empoleon and begins to think.

"So, Empoleon's his next choice and it seems like it's gotten stronger." Ash says to himself as he looks over at Feraligatr who takes some poison damage as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr, do you want to continue?" Ash asks as Feraligatr looks at the boy and nods with Ash nodding too. Ash then looks forward and speaks.

"Let's keep going Feraligatr!" Ash says with the mon nodding as he along with Empoleon get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Ash speaks.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls. Feraligatr takes a deep breath and fires out a big stream of water that heads for Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon knock it away with Steel Wing then use Drill Peck!" Barry calls. Empoleon covers both of its arms in steel energy and swings them out easily getting rid of the Hydro Pump. Empoleon's beak then grows longer as it becomes a drill and shoots forward heading for Feraligatr as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr counter with Aqua Jet!" Ash calls. Feraligatr takes some poison damage but then covers his body in water and shoots forward colliding with Empoleon. The 2 mons begin pushing each other back and forth trying to overpower the other. They continue to do that until they then back away from each other, then open their mouths as their trainers speak.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Both trainers' call causing the 2 mons to fire out their own Hydro Pump that collide with each other and explode. The 2-mons land safely back on the ground as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr use Dragon Dance then Aqua Jet!" Ash calls. Feraligatr groans from poison damage but then begins to break dance with purple draconic energy dancing around him raising his physical attack/speed. Then when he's done dancing Feraligatr covers his body in water and shoots forward heading for Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon use Whirlpool!" Barry calls. Empoleon raises its arms above its head and summons a big Whirlpool. Empoleon then throws the move forward causing it to collide with Feraligatr. Feraligatr tries to swim through the attack but is unable to thanks to the poison as he then begins to be spun around inside. While Feraligatr continues to be spun around Empoleon takes a deep breath as Barry speaks.

"Use Hydro Pump!" "Feraligatr quick get out of there!" Both trainers' call. Empoleon roars as it fires out a big stream of water. Unfortunately for Feraligatr he can't dodge the attack because he's stuck in the Whirlpool and is taking poison damage. A couple seconds later the Hydro Pump connects with the Whirlpool and creates an explosion as Ash speaks.

"Feraligatr!" Ash calls in worry as the Rain Dance goes away. Out of the explosion appears Feraligatr who falls on the battlefield landing on his back. Everyone can see that Feraligatr's knocked out as Luana speaks.

"Feraligatr's unable to battle Empoleon's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Barry and Feraligatr to cheer. On the other side of the battlefield Ash's sad that Feraligatr lost but then returns the mon back to his Pokeball and tells him thank you. Then when Ash puts the ball away, he sees that Barry has returned his Empoleon then speaks.

"You're returning your Empoleon?" Ash asks as Barry speaks.

"Yeah, Empoleon did his part and besides I'm confident that my other Pokémon will defeat the rest of yours, so I won't need him." Barry says while having a confident look on his face making Ash smirk as he speaks.

"You say that, but my Pokémon won't go down easily." Ash responds which makes Barry smirk too as they then pull out their Pokeball's. The 2 boys look at each other then go to throw their Pokeball's and speak.

"Hitmonlee, come out!" "Rillaboom, I choose you!" Both trainers' say as they throw their Pokeball's forward and send out the mons. Barry sends out a Hitmonlee while Ash sends out his Rillaboom, both mons look at each other having serious looks on their faces as Jake speaks.

"It's now going to be a battle between Hitmonlee and Rillaboom!" Jake says as Don George speaks.

"This should be an interesting match." Don George says as back on the battlefield Barry looks at Ash's Rillaboom and speaks.

"Looks like your Thwackey evolved but it still stands no chance against my Hitmonlee." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom's been training hard since our last battle and this time he's going to win!" Ash states with Rillaboom agreeing with him as he along with Hitmonlee get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Razor Leaf!" Ash calls. Rillaboom lets out a roar and fires out multiple sharp leaves towards Hitmonlee as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee burn them with Blaze Kick then run forward!" Barry calls. Hitmonlee covers its left foot in fire and begins to kick the leaves easily getting rid of them. After that Hitmonlee starts running towards Rillaboom as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Wood Hammer!" Ash calls. Rillaboom pulls out two drum sticks, covers them in grassy energy as they then turn into green hammers. As Hitmonlee's getting closer Rillaboom goes to hit Hitmonlee with his Hammers as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee dodge! Then use High Jump Kick and Blaze Kick!" Barry calls. Hitmonlee manages to easily avoid getting hit by the hammers and is now close to Rillaboom. Hitmonlee's right knee glows red as it jumps upward and knees Rillaboom's chin. Hitmonlee then covers its left foot in fire and kicks Rillaboom hard across the face causing super effective damage to the mon. Rillaboom groans in pain then looks at Hitmonlee as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Screech!" Ash calls. Rillaboom takes a deep breath and lets out a loud screech that connects with Hitmonlee, hurting the mons ears and lowering its physical defense as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee get away from Rillaboom!" "Rillaboom grab Hitmonlee's leg and slam it on the ground!" Both trainers' call. Just when Hitmonlee's about to get away from Rillaboom the grass gorilla manages to grab Hitmonlee's left leg. After that Rillaboom roars and slams Hitmonlee hard on the battlefield making it land on its back. Hitmonlee lays on the battlefield groaning in pain then looks at Rillaboom and sees him clenching his right fist as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Strength!" Ash calls. Rillaboom bulks up his body and goes to punch Hitmonlee as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee use Bounce to dodge!" Barry calls. When Rillaboom's fist goes to hit Hitmonlee the mon glows blue then manages to quickly shoot backwards causing Rillaboom to punch the battlefield instead. Hitmonlee stops a few feet away as it stands back up and heads for Rillaboom going to kick him with its right foot as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom block!" Ash calls. Rillaboom quickly brings up his left arm and blocks Hitmonlee's attack. Hitmonlee puts more pressure on its foot trying to knock Rillaboom's arm away, but the gorilla holds on strong. Rillaboom then clenches his right fist as Ash speaks.

"Use Drain Punch!" "Hitmonlee jump away then use Blaze Kick!" Both trainers' call. Rillaboom goes to upper cut Hitmonlee with his right fist, but the mon quickly jumps away dodging the attack. Hitmonlee lands on the battlefield a couple feet away as it then covers its right foot in fire, shoots forward, and kicks Rillaboom hard in the stomach causing super effective damage. Rillaboom coughs in pain but then quickly recomposes himself as he readies his left fist Ash speaks.

"Now use Drain Punch!" Ash calls. Before Barry can tell Hitmonlee to dodge Rillaboom manages to punch Hitmonlee's right side hard. Hitmonlee is sent flying and falls back on the battlefield a few feet away by landing on its back as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee!" Barry calls in worry as Hitmonlee groans a little in pain but then stands back up telling Barry that it's fine. Over with Rillaboom he managed to take some of Hitmonlee's health and healed himself a little bit as he now feels a little refreshed Ash speaks.

"Nice Rillaboom got some health back." Ash says happily as Barry speaks.

"You got lucky with that hit Ash but let me tell you this it won't happen again thanks to Hitmonlee's speed." Barry says with Hitmonlee agreeing with him. Up in the stands Hau speaks.

"Barry's right Ash got lucky with Rillaboom landing that attack." Hau says as Misty speaks.

"True, but Ash does have something that can help make Rillaboom faster." Misty says with Leaf, and Tracey agreeing with her while Hau and Nemona are curious. Back on the battlefield Ash looks at Barry and speaks.

"You're right Barry I did get lucky with Rillaboom landing that attack on Hitmonlee and it's true that Hitmonlee is more agile than Rillaboom. But that won't last for long once I call for my next command." Ash says as Barry speaks.

"Please you're just bluffing there's no way that your Rillaboom can gain a speed advantage over Hitmonlee." Barry says as Ash smiles and speaks.

"True not right now but with this he can." Ash responds as he looks at Rillaboom and calls for a command.

"Rillaboom use Grassy Terrain!" Ash calls. Rillaboom lets out a roar as he turns the battlefield into a grassy field. Now that the field is turned into grass Hitmonlee along with Rillaboom feel that some of the damage they received has healed as Barry looks at Ash and speaks.

"Grassy Terrain was your plan? Don't you realize that this will only heal Hitmonlee's damage from Rillaboom?" Barry asks as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, I know but Rillaboom's grass type moves have now also increased too." Ash responds with the gorilla nodding as he can feel his power increasing Barry then speaks.

"Well, guess what even if they have increased you won't get the chance to use them or land a hit. Hitmonlee use Bounce!" Barry calls with Hitmonlee nodding as it begins to charge the move Ash smiles and speaks.

"That's were you're wrong Barry as Rillaboom will land his hits." Ash says as he calls for a command.

"Rillaboom use Grassy Glide!" Ash calls. Rillaboom nods as his feet glow green, he quickly glides on the grass reaching Hitmonlee instantly and punches the mon hard across the face with his right fist. Barry along with the crowd have surprised looks on their faces as back in the stands Nemona speaks.

"Ash's Rillaboom knows Grassy Glide?" Nemona says as Hau speaks.

"What's Grassy Glide?" Hau asks as Tracey speaks.

"It's a move where the user glides on the ground and hits the target. It's also a move that always goes first when Grassy Terrain is used." Tracey answers with Hau nodding as he speaks.

"So, that's why he called for Grassy Terrain." Hau says as Leaf speaks.

"You see after watching my mom's Rillaboom use it against Harrison Ash has been training his Rillaboom to use this tactic too." Leaf says with Nemona and Hau nodding as Misty speaks.

"And now with Grassy Glide Rillaboom's able to close the gap in speed with Hitmonlee." Misty says with the group nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry still has a surprised look on his face but then recomposes himself and speaks.

"I now see why you called for Grassy Terrain Ash, but don't think you've won yet!" Barry says as he calls for his next command.

"Hitmonlee hit Rillaboom back with Blaze Kick!" Barry calls. Hitmonlee covers its right foot in fire and goes to kick Rillaboom as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom get behind Hitmonlee with Grassy glide then use Drain Punch!" Ash calls. Rillaboom nods as he manages to dodge Hitmonlee's attack by gliding to the left and getting behind Hitmonlee. Rillaboom's right fist glows as he hits Hitmonlee's back and sends the mon high into the air. Rillaboom takes some of Hitmonlee's health and feels refreshed as Ash speaks.

"Now Rillaboom go after Hitmonlee and use Hammer Arm!" Ash calls. Rillaboom nods as he quickly jumps high in the air and reaches Hitmonlee. Rillaboom raises his arms above his head as they glow white and goes to slam them on Hitmonlee as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee block!" Barry calls. Hitmonlee quickly brings up its arms as Rillaboom's arms connect and sends Hitmonlee crashing back on the battlefield creating a dust cloud. When the dust clears, we see Hitmonlee groaning in pain but then gets some health back thanks to the Grassy Terrain as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Wood Hammer!" Ash calls. Up in the air we see Rillaboom falling towards Hitmonlee, he pulls out 2 drums sticks and turns them into grassy hammers. Rillaboom goes to hit Hitmonlee as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee quick back away!" Barry calls. Hitmonlee quickly stands back up and jumps backwards causing Rillaboom to slam his hammers hard on the battlefield missing his attack. Then once Hitmonlee lands back on the battlefield a few feet away Ash speaks.

"Use Drum Beating!" Ash calls. Rillaboom pulls out his drum set, spins his drumsticks and lets out a roar as he begins to play the drums. As he's playing the drums two large vines appear and head for Hitmonlee as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee kick them away with Blaze Kick!" Barry calls. Hitmonlee covers its left leg in fire and swings it outward easily knocking the two vines away. When that happens, Ash calls for a command.

"Rillaboom use Grassy Glide!" Ash calls. Rillaboom quickly glides forward and rams his right shoulder into Hitmonlee which sends the mon flying as Ash speaks.

"Now grab Hitmonlee with Drum Beating!" Ash calls. Rillaboom nods as he plays with his drums again, quickly summons two large vines that shoot forward and wrap around Hitmonlee. Barry then speaks.

"Hitmonlee get out of there with Bounce!" "Oh no you don't! Rillaboom pull Hitmonlee closer to you!" Both trainers' call. Before Hitmonlee can use Bounce the vines from the Drum Beating begin pulling Hitmonlee closer to Rillaboom. As Hitmonlee's getting closer Rillaboom has his right fist ready as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Swords Dance then Mega Punch!" "Hitmonlee get out of there!" Both trainers' call. Unfortunately for Barry Hitmonlee's unable to dodge as Rillaboom sharply increases his physical attack power with swords dance and punches Hitmonlee hard in the stomach with his right fist. Hitmonlee coughs in pain as it's sent flying and lands back on the battlefield a few feet away creating a dust cloud as Barry speaks.

"Hitmonlee!" Barry calls in worry as when the dust clears everyone can see Hitmonlee laying on its back knocked out as Luana speaks.

"Hitmonlee's unable to battle Rillaboom's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Ash, Pikachu and Rillaboom to cheer. At Oak's ranch Delia, Mr. Mime, Oak, Daisy, Rose, and Ash's Pokémon cheer too with the grass types, Blastoise and Krookodile cheering the loudest. Back in the stadium the crowd along with Ash's friends cheer too as Hau speaks.

"Nice he managed to take down Hitmonlee." Hau says with the group nodding as they continue to watch. Back on the battlefield Ash looks at Rillaboom and speaks.

"Good job Rillaboom!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say as Rillaboom looks at them and smiles. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield we see Barry return Hitmonlee back to its Pokeball and tells the mon thank you. Barry puts the ball away as he looks forward and speaks.

"You did good in taking down my Hitmonlee Ash, but your Rillaboom won't beat my next one." Barry says as he pulls out his next Pokeball and goes to throw it forward.

"Staraptor, Go!" Barry says as he throws the ball forward and sends out a Staraptor who's flying in the air. The mon has a serious look on its face as Ash speaks.

"So, a Staraptor's next. Rillaboom didn't take too much damage from Hitmonlee so he should still be able to beat Staraptor." Ash says to himself as he looks at Rillaboom and speaks.

"Rillaboom I'm still keeping you in!" Ash says with Rillaboom nodding as he along with Staraptor get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor let's get rid of this Grassy Terrain with Defog!" Barry calls with Staraptor nodding as its wings glow blue and flaps them forward sending out a slash of wind that makes contact with the Grassy Terrain and dispels it. Ash along with Rillaboom have surprised looks on their faces as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor use Aerial Ace!" Barry calls. Staraptor shoots forward at a fast speed going to hit Rillaboom as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom counter with Strength!" Ash calls. Rillaboom bulks up his body, clenches his right fist and collides with Staraptor. The 2 mons begin pushing each other back and forth but Rillaboom manages to overpower Staraptor and sends it spinning out of control as Ash speaks.

"Now use Drum Beating!" Ash calls. Rillaboom quickly pulls out his drum set and begins playing the drum as two large green vines appear and go to grab Staraptor Barry speaks.

"Use Hurricane!" Barry calls. Staraptor manages to readjust itself and flap its wings fast summoning a large Hurricane that easily destroys the two vines and is now heading for Rillaboom as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom use Strength to block!" Ash calls. Rillaboom bulks up his body and brings up his arms as the Hurricane connects with him. Inside the Hurricane Rillaboom's receiving some damage but thanks to Strength the Hurricane doesn't do too much. A couple seconds later the Hurricane disappears and Rillaboom's groaning a little in pain but is overall fine as Barry speaks.

"Aerial Ace!" Barry calls. Staraptor appears out of nowhere and hits Rillaboom hard in the stomach causing super effective damage and making him cough in pain. Staraptor has its wings and feet ready as Barry speaks.

"Use Close Combat!" Barry calls. Before Ash can call for a command Staraptor begins hitting Rillaboom with its wings and feet repeatedly. Staraptor continues to hit Rillaboom until it kicks him one more time and sends Rillaboom sliding a few feet away as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom are you okay?!" Ash asks with Rillaboom nodding as he looks over at Staraptor Barry speaks.

"So, it can still move." Barry says to himself as he calls for his next command.

"Staraptor use Hurricane again!" Barry calls. Staraptor roars as it flaps its wings fast and summons a large Hurricane that heads for Rillaboom Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom dodge then use Drum Beating!" Ash calls. Rillaboom quickly jumps to the left and dodges the Hurricane. Just when Rillaboom's about to use Drum Beating Staraptor appears in front of him as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor use U Turn!" Barry calls. Before Ash can call for a command, Staraptor glows in green bug energy and hits Rillaboom hard in the face causing super effective damage. Staraptor goes back in its Pokeball as Barry's Snorlax appears to take its place. The mon has a serious look on its face as Barry speaks.


"Snorlax use Hyper Beam!" Barry calls. Snorlax roars as it shoots out a big orange blast that heads for Rillaboom Ash speaks.

"Use Hammer Arm!" Ash calls. Rillaboom's arms glow in white energy as he raises them up and slams them down on the Hyper Beam making it hit the ground instead as there's then an explosion. Out of the explosion Snorlax appears in front of Rillaboom as Barry speaks.

"Use Ice Punch!" Barry calls. Snorlax covers its left fist in ice energy and punches Rillaboom hard across the face as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom hit Snorlax back with Drain Punch!" Ash calls. Rillaboom's left fist glows as he uppercuts Snorlax causing damage and also stealing some of its energy. Barry calls for his next command.

"Use Ice Punch again!" Barry calls. Snorlax covers its right fist in ice and punches Rillaboom hard in the face causing more damage as Ash speaks.

"Use Drain Punch Rillaboom!" "Snorlax catch it!" Both trainers' call. Rillaboom goes to punch Snorlax with his right fist, but Snorlax catches it with its left hand. Rillaboom then goes to hit Snorlax with his left fist, but Snorlax catches that one with its right hand. The 2 mons are now locked in a grapple and begin trying to overpower the other as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom now that you're close use Screech!" Ash calls. Rillaboom takes a deep breath and is about to use the move as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax use Darkest Lariat!" Barry calls. Snorlax nods as its hands glow in dark energy and begins to spin, forcing Rillaboom to spin too. Snorlax continues to spin until it lets go of Rillaboom sending the mon flying away as Barry speaks.

"Good job Snorlax now use Hyper Beam!" Barry calls. Snorlax manages to stop spinning as it quickly charges up a beam and fires it at Rillaboom as Ash speaks.

"Rillaboom quick knock it away with Wood Hammer!" Ash calls but was too late as the Hyper Beam connects with Rillaboom and pushes him into the wall behind Ash creating an explosion. Ash looks back and speaks.

"Rillaboom!" Ash calls in worry as when the smoke clears everyone can see Rillaboom lying on his stomach knocked out. Luana then makes the call.

"Rillaboom's unable to battle Snorlax's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Barry and Snorlax to cheer. Ash's sad that Rillaboom lost and returned the mon back to his Pokeball. Ash looks at the ball telling Rillaboom thank you and puts the ball back on his belt. Once he does that Barry speaks.

"Now that your Rillaboom's gone I just have to defeat 3 more of your Pokémon and I'll win." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash smiles and speaks.

"True but my last 3 aren't going to be easy to beat." Ash says as he pulls out his next Pokeball and goes to throw it.

"Tinkaton, I choose you!" Ash says as he throws the ball forward and sends in Tinkaton. Once Tinkaton appears she has a smile on her face and is ready to battle as Jake speaks.

"Ash has sent in a Tinkaton will it be enough to take down Barry's Snorlax?!" Jake says as the crowd continues to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry looks at Tinkaton smiles and speaks.

"A Tinkaton's next huh? Heh my Snorlax can easily take it down." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash speaks.

"We'll see about that. Tinkaton let's do this!" Ash says with Tinkaton nodding as she along with Snorlax get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax it's time to shake things up. Use Earthquake!" Barry calls. Snorlax nods as it stomps its left foot hard on the battlefield causing it to shake as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton jump in the air to dodge and use Flash Cannon!" Ash calls. Tinkaton quickly jumps in the air and dodges the Earthquake. Tinkaton then takes a deep breath and fires out a steel beam that heads for Snorlax as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax dodge then use Heavy Slam!" Barry calls. Snorlax easily dodges the Flash Cannon as it then jumps forward glowing in steel energy going to hit Tinkaton as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton block with your hammer!" Ash calls. Tinkaton quickly brings up her hammer and blocks Snorlax's attack as both mons come crashing down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud. Out of the dust appears Tinkaton who's sliding back but then stops herself as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton use Stone Edge!" Ash calls. Tinkaton slams her hammer hard on the battlefield and summons multiple sharp stone pillars that head for Snorlax as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax use Darkest Lariat!" Barry calls. Snorlax covers both of its hands in dark energy and spins forward easily destroying the sharp stones and is heading for Tinkaton as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton counter with Brutal Swing!" Ash calls. Tinkaton covers her hammer in dark energy, spins forward and collides with Snorlax. We see the two-mons continue to clash with each other and when they clash one more time, they slide away from each other as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax use Work Up then Hyper Beam!" Barry calls. Snorlax lets out a roar as it raises its physical attack/special attack power then fires out a large orange beam that heads for Tinkaton as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton dodge! Then jump forward using Swords Dance and Rock Smash!" Ash calls. Tinkaton quickly moves to the left and dodges Snorlax's attack. Tinkaton then jumps forward as she sharply raises her attack power with Swords Dance and covers her hammer in red fighting energy. Once Tinkaton gets close enough she swings her hammer forward and slaps Snorlax hard across the face causing damage along with lowering Snorlax's physical defense. Snorlax groans in pain but then looks at Tinkaton and clenches its right fist as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax use Counter!" Barry calls. Before Ash can tell Tinkaton to dodge Snorlax gains a red outline that goes into its right fist and punches Tinkaton hard in the stomach. Tinkaton coughs in pain and is sent crashing back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton!" Ash calls in worry as when the dust clears everyone can see Tinkaton laying on her back groaning in pain as Barry smiles and speaks.

"Good job Snorlax it's now time to finish Tinkaton off. Use Earthquake!" Barry calls. Snorlax nods as it goes to stomp on Tinkaton Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton quick knock Snorlax's foot away with your hammer then use Play Rough!" Ash calls. Tinkaton manages to knock away Snorlax's foot by swinging her hammer. This causes Snorlax to stumble a little bit as Tinkaton then covers her hammer in fairy energy, jumps upward and begins hitting Snorlax repeatedly with her hammer with each hit hurting more than the last. As Tinkaton continues to hit Snorlax the mon is groaning in pain but then clenches its left fist as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax use Counter!" Barry calls. When Tinkaton hits Snorlax again Snorlax roars as its left fist glows red and punches Tinkaton hard in the face causing her to crash down on the battlefield again. Tinkaton's groaning in pain as Barry speaks.

"Now use Earthquake!" "Tinkaton jump in the air to dodge then use Knock Off!" Both trainers' call. When Snorlax stomps its foot on the ground it begins to shake but Tinkaton manages to safely jump in the air in time. Tinkaton then covers her hammer in dark energy and begins falling towards Snorlax going to hit it as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax block then use Focus Punch!" Barry calls. When Tinkaton goes to hit Snorlax the mon quickly brings up its left arm and blocks Tinkaton's attack. The force of Tinkaton's attack causes the ground under Snorlax's feet to crack a little bit but Snorlax holds on strong and begins to focus energy in its right fist. Once Snorlax's done charging up it goes to uppercut Tinkaton as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton dodge then begin to spin!" Ash calls. Tinkaton sees Snorlax's fist coming and quickly jumps back dodging the attack. Once Tinkaton lands she begins to spin fast as she's gaining momentum Ash speaks.

"Now use Gigaton Hammer" "Snorlax Hyper Beam!" Both trainers' call. As Tinkaton's hammer begins to glow in steel energy Snorlax fires out a big orange beam that heads for Tinkaton as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton keep spinning and knock away the Hyper Beam!" Ash calls. As the Hyper Beam goes to hit Tinkaton the hammer mon continues to spin and manages to deflect the Hyper Beam and sends it high into the air causing it to explode. Barry along with Snorlax are surprised that Tinkaton managed to deflect the attack and over with Tinkaton once she feels that she has gained enough momentum she jumps forward heading for Snorlax as Barry speaks.

"Snorlax quick hit Tinkaton with Focus Punch!" "Do it Tinkaton!" Both trainers' call. Snorlax's left fist glows and goes to hit Tinkaton, but the hammer mon dodges in time and grips her hammer tightly. Tinkaton's hammer glows intensely in steel energy and slams her hammer hard into Snorlax's stomach. Snorlax coughs in pain as Tinkaton swings out her hammer and sends Snorlax flying. Snorlax goes past Barry and keeps going until it crashes into the wall behind him, creating an explosion as Barry looks back and speaks.

"Snorlax!" Barry calls in worry as when the dust clears everyone can see Snorlax laying on its stomach knocked out as Luana speaks.

"Snorlax's unable to battle Tinkaton's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Ash, Pikachu, and Tinkaton to cheer. Over at Oak's ranch Delia, Mr. Mime, Oak, Daisy, Rose, and Ash's Pokémon cheer too with the fairy and steel types cheering the loudest. Back at the stadium in the stands Ash's friends let out a cheer too as Tracey speaks.

"Even though Tinkaton took two counters she managed to defeat Snorlax." Tracey says with the group nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry returns Snorlax back to its Pokeball and tells the mon thank you. Once he puts the ball away, he looks forward as Ash looks at Tinkaton and speaks.

"Great job Tinkaton just two more to go." "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say with Tinkaton nodding as Barry speaks.


"I'll admit I made a mistake underestimating your Tinkaton but I'm not doing that again. Staraptor come back out!" Barry says as he throws the ball forward and sends his Staraptor back in. Once the mon appears it looks at Tinkaton with Tinkaton looking at it as Ash speaks.

"Staraptor's back out. Tinkaton let's keep going!" Ash says with Tinkaton nodding as she along with Staraptor get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton use Flash Cannon!" Ash calls. Tinkaton covers her mouth in steel energy and shoots out a steel beam that heads for Staraptor as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor dodge then use Hurricane!" Barry calls. Staraptor easily dodges the steel beam then flaps its wings fast summoning a large Hurricane that heads for Tinkaton as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton get rid of it with Ice Hammer!" Ash calls with Tinkaton nodding as she covers her hammer in ice and swings it forward causing it to collide with the Hurricane. The Hurricane tries to push Tinkaton back but the mon roars and destroys the Hurricane which surprises the crowd. Tinkaton looks up at Staraptor as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton let's knock Staraptor out of the sky! Use Stone Edge and hit it with your Hammer!" Ash calls. Tinkaton summons a large sharp stone in front of her then hits it with her hammer destroying the stone and sending multiple sharp stones at Staraptor as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor dodge!" Barry calls. Up in the air Staraptor begins doing its best to dodge the attacks but a few of the sharp stones hit it causing the mon to begin falling towards the battlefield as Ash speaks.

"Good job Tinkaton! Now end it with Ice Hammer!" Ash calls with Tinkaton nodding as she covers her hammer in ice and jumps forward going to hit Staraptor as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor use Agility to dodge!" Barry calls. Just when Tinkaton's about to hit Staraptor the bird manages to speed itself up and dodges Tinkaton's attack causing her to hit nothing. Tinkaton has a confused look on her face as Barry speaks.

"Now use Close Combat!" Barry calls. Suddenly Staraptor appears in front of Tinkaton and begins hitting her with its wings/feet with each hit hurting more than the last as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton use Ice Hammer!" Staraptor dodge then use Hurricane!" Both trainers' call. When Staraptor hits Tinkaton again she goes to hit Staraptor with her hammer, but the bird quickly flies back in the air dodging the attack. Staraptor then flaps its wings fast and summons a large Hurricane that consumes Tinkaton making her spin out of control. Inside the Hurricane Tinkaton cries out in pain as a few seconds later the Hurricane disappears, and everyone sees Tinkaton fall back on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Ash speaks.

"Tinkaton!" Ash calls in worry as when the dust clears everyone can see Tinkaton lying on her back knocked out. Luana then makes the call.

"Tinkaton's unable to battle Staraptor's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Barry and Staraptor to cheer. Ash's sad that Tinkaton lost but then returns the mon back to her Pokeball and tells her thank you. Ash then puts the ball back on his belt as Barry speaks.

"So, Ash what do you think of my Staraptor he's pretty cool right?" Barry asks as Ash looks at him and speaks.

"Yeah, your Staraptor's cool and strong but my next Pokémon will take him down." Ash states while holding his next Pokeball forward as he goes to throw it.

"Skeledirge, I choose you!" Ash says as he throws the ball forward and sends in his Skeledirge. When the mon appears, he has an excited look on his face and is ready to battle as Barry speaks.

"So, Skeledirge's his next one. Staraptor we're taking it down!" Barry states with the bird nodding as it along with Skeledirge get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to continue as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor we're attacking first use Hurricane!" Barry calls. Staraptor roars as it flaps its wings fast and summons a large Hurricane that heads for Skeledirge as Ash speaks.

"Skeledirge use Hyper Voice!" Ash calls. Skeledirge takes a deep breath and lets out a loud voice that collides with the Hurricane and easily destroys it. Barry along with Staraptor have surprised looks on their faces as the Hyper Voice also hits Staraptor doing more damage to the mon as Ash speaks.

"Now use Torch Song!" Ash calls. Skeledirge gets on his hind legs, the bird on his nose turns into a fire microphone allowing the mon to sing into it. Once Skeledirge does that out of the microphone appears a big flaming bird that heads for Staraptor as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor dodge then use Brave Bird!" Barry calls. Staraptor manages to narrowly dodge the Torch Song as it then quickly descends and heads for Skeledirge while glowing a shiny blue. As Staraptor's getting closer Ash speaks.

"Skeledirge use Dig!" Ash calls. Just when Staraptor's about to hit Skeledirge the fire croc quickly digs underground and dodges the attack causing Staraptor to hit the battlefield instead. Staraptor stands back up and shakes its head as it then feels something moving underneath Barry speaks.

"Staraptor quick fly in the air to dodge!" Barry calls. Staraptor quickly flies in the air as Skeledirge appears from the ground missing the attack as Ash speaks.

"Sorry Barry but Staraptor's not getting away that easily! Skeledirge use Flame Charge!" Ash calls. Skeledirge roars as he covers his body in fire, shoots upward and hits Staraptor hard in the stomach. Staraptor coughs in pain as Ash speaks.

"Okay Skeledirge now use Torch Song!" "Staraptor use Agility to dodge!" Both trainers' call. Unfortunately for Barry Staraptor can't dodge in time as Skeledirge lets out a roar and sends out a flaming bird that hits Staraptor creating an explosion as Barry speaks.

"Staraptor!" Barry calls in worry as out of the smoke we see the 2 mons appear. Skeledirge lands safely on the ground and can feel his special attack power increasing while Staraptor lands on its back. Everyone can see that Staraptor's unable to battle as Luana speaks.

"Staraptor's unable to battle Skeledirge's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Ash, Pikachu and Skeledirge to cheer. Back at Oak's ranch Delia, Mr. Mime, Oak, Daisy, Rose, and Ash's Pokémon cheer too with the fire types, Gengar, Blastoise, and Krookodile cheering the loudest. Back at the stadium the crowd cheers too as Misty and Leaf speak.

"Skeledirge won!" Misty along with Leaf say happily with Togetic and Poliwag cheering too as Hau speaks.

"And now Barry has one Pokémon left." Hau says as Nemona speaks.

"Yes, his Empoleon." Nemona says with the group nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry returns Staraptor back to its Pokeball and tells the mon thank you. Once Barry puts the ball away, we come over to Ash who looks at Skeledirge and speaks.

"Good job Skeledirge!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say with Skeledirge nodding as Barry speaks.

"You know Ash I was really hoping to end this battle without having to use Empoleon again, but I guess it was wrong of me to think like that since I'm battling you after all." Barry says as Ash looks at him Barry continues to speak.

"But now that I'm at my last Pokémon I'm confident that he won't go down and will defeat your last two Pokémon! Now! Empoleon, Come Out!" Barry says as he throws the ball forward and sends his Empoleon back in. Once the mon appears it has a serious look on its face and looks at Skeledirge with Skeledirge looking back as Ash speaks.

"There it is." Ash says to himself as he begins to think.

"I know it's risky to keep Skeledirge in but since he didn't get hit once by Staraptor and got a special attack increase he should be able to at least damage and maybe knock out Empoleon." Ash says to himself as he looks at Skeledirge and speaks.

"Skeledirge, I'm keeping you in!" Ash says with Skeledirge nodding as Barry speaks.

"I knew you'd do that. Empoleon let's do this!" Barry says with Empoleon nodding as it along with Skeledirge get into battle stances. Luana calls for the battle to begin as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon use Hydro Pump!" Barry calls. Empoleon takes a deep breath and fires out a large stream of water that heads for Skeledirge as Ash speaks.

"Skeledirge blow it away with Hyper Voice!" Ash calls. Skeledirge lets out a loud voice that connects with the Hydro Pump and easily destroys it. The attack now heads for Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon use Drill Peck!" Barry calls. Empoleon's beak grows longer as it then begins to spin forward. Empoleon easily goes through the Hyper Voice and heads for Skeledirge as Ash speaks.

"Use Shadow Ball!" Ash calls. Skeledirge creates a ball of shadow energy and shoots it forward causing it to collide with Empoleon creating an explosion. Out of the explosion appears Empoleon who's sent sliding back a few feet away as Ash speaks.

"Use Torch Song!" Ash calls. Out of the smoke appears a large flaming bird that heads for Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Counter with Hydro Pump!" Barry calls. Empoleon fires out a large stream of water that easily destroys the move and heads for Skeledirge, but the mon is gone. Barry along with Empoleon have surprised looks on their faces as Barry then notices a hole where Skeledirge was and quickly calls for a command.

"Empoleon quick back away!" Barry calls. Empoleon nods as it quickly jumps back a couple seconds later Skeledirge appears from the ground and misses his attack Ash speaks.

"Skeledirge don't let Empoleon get away! Get in close with Flame Charge!" Ash calls. Skeledirge nods as he covers his body in fire and shoots forward heading for Empoleon. As Skeledirge is getting closer Empoleon's not worried as Barry calls for a command.

"Counter with Waterfall!" Barry calls. Empoleon covers its body in water and shoots forward colliding with Skeledirge. Empoleon begins to slowly push Skeledirge back as Ash speaks.

"Skeledirge use Hyper Voice!" "Empoleon dodge then use Knock Off!" Barry calls. When Skeledirge lets out a loud voice Empoleon quickly dodges to the right avoiding the attack. Empoleon then covers its right arm in dark energy and slams it down hard on Skeledirge's head causing super effective damage. Skeledirge is slammed hard onto the battlefield then bounces up as Barry speaks.

"Now use Liquidation then Hydro Pump!" Barry calls. Empoleon covers its arms in water and turns them into water blades. Empoleon spins around and hits Skeledirge causing super effective damage. Empoleon then takes a deep breath and fires out a large stream of water that consumes Skeledirge. Skeledirge cries out in pain as he's sent crashing on the battlefield a few feet away Ash speaks.

"Skeledirge!" Ash calls in worry as when the Hydro Pump disappears Skeledirge's laying on his stomach groaning in pain. Skeledirge tries to stand back up but ultimately stays down as Luana makes the call.

"Skeledirge is unable to battle Empoleon's the winner!" Luana calls allowing for Barry and Empoleon to cheer. Up in the stands Leaf speaks.

"Darn Skeledirge lost." Leaf says as Tracey speaks.

"And now they both have one Pokémon left." Tracey says with the group nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Ash returns Skeledirge back to his Pokeball and tells the mon thank you. Ash then puts the ball back on his belt as Barry speaks.

"Looks like we both have one Pokémon left Ash and soon victory will be mine." Barry says while having a confident look on his face as Ash smiles and speaks.

"You seem confident that you can win Barry but just so you know my last one is not going down easily." Ash responds as he pulls out his final Pokeball and goes to throw it.


"Garchomp, I Choose You!" Ash says as he throws the ball forward and sends out Garchomp. Once Garchomp appears he lets out a mighty roar creating a shockwave showcasing his power, when Garchomp's done roaring he looks at Empoleon and has a serious look on his face with Empoleon having the same look. Barry then speaks.

"So, your Gabite evolved into a Garchomp don't you remember what happened last time? It lost to Empoleon before." Barry says as Ash speaks.

"True, but that was when he was a Gabite now that Garchomp's evolved he's grown a lot stronger and is going to take down Empoleon!" Ash states with Garchomp roaring in agreement with him and making Barry smirk as he speaks.

"We'll see about that. Empoleon get ready!" Barry says with Empoleon nodding as it along with Garchomp get into battle stances Luana speaks.

"This is the final battle both trainers have one Pokémon left whoever knocks out their opponents Pokémon first will be declared the winner!" Luana says with Ash and Barry nodding as Luana continues to speak.

"Now if both trainers are ready let the battle continue!" Luana calls as Barry speaks.

"We're attacking first! Empoleon use Ice Beam!" Barry calls. Empoleon quickly fires out an icy beam that heads for Garchomp as Ash speaks.

"Destroy it with Metal Claw!" Ash calls. Garchomp covers his right claw in energy and easily destroys the icy beam as Barry speaks.

"Use Drill Peck!" Barry calls. Empoleon's beak grows longer as it spins forward heading for Garchomp Ash speaks.

"Counter with Dragon Rush!" Ash calls. Garchomp lets out a roar as he covers his body in dragon energy, shoots forward and collides with Empoleon creating an explosion. Out of the explosion appears the 2 mons as they slide away from each other, Ash speaks.

"Garchomp use Stone Edge then Dig!" Ash calls. Garchomp stops himself from sliding as he summons multiple sharp stones around himself and fires them forward. After that Garchomp digs underground. Over with Empoleon it's stopped sliding too and sees multiple sharp stones coming to hit it as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon knock them away with Hydro Pump!" Barry calls. Empoleon quickly fires out a large stream of water that easily blows the sharp stones away. Once the Stone Edges are gone suddenly, Garchomp bursts from underneath Empoleon and uppercuts it with his left claw causing damage to the mon. Empoleon groans a little in pain then looks at Garchomp and opens its mouth as Barry speaks.

"Use Ice Beam!" Barry calls. Empoleon fires out a point-blank icy beam that hits Garchomp's face causing super effective damage to the mon as Ash speaks.

"Garchomp hit Empoleon back with Rock Smash then use Sand Tomb!" Ash calls. Garchomp nods as his right claw glows in red fighting energy and punches Empoleon hard across the face. Empoleon groans in pain as Garchomp lets out a roar and summons a tomb of sand underneath Empoleon causing the mon to fall in. Inside the Sand Tomb Empoleon tries getting out of the move but is having a hard time as Ash speaks.

"Good job Garchomp now use Dragon Pulse!" Ash calls. Garchomp looks at Empoleon, he covers his mouth in purple draconic energy and fires the beam at Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon use Hydro Pump on the ground to propel yourself out of the sand!" Barry calls. Empoleon nods as it stops struggling and fires out a big stream of water at the ground. This propels Empoleon upward allowing for it to dodge the Dragon Pulse and get out of the Sand Tomb. Now that Empoleon's high in the air it sees Garchomp flying towards it as Ash speaks.

"Garchomp use Rock Smash!" Ash calls. Garchomp roars as he covers his right claw in red fighting energy and goes to hit Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon block with Liquidation!" Barry calls. Empoleon covers both of its arms in water, turning them into water blades and blocks Garchomp's attack. Garchomp tries breaking through Empoleon's defenses, but Empoleon isn't budging. Garchomp lets out a roar as he pushes Empoleon back down on the battlefield creating a dust cloud as Ash and Barry speak.

"Empoleon!" "Garchomp!" The 2 boys call as out of the smoke appears the 2 mons who slide away from each other and look at their opponent. Jake then speaks.

"Both Empoleon and Garchomp have showed an amazing display of their strength so far!" Jake says as Don George speaks.

"Indeed, it seems as though they're both evenly matched and when you look at their eyes neither one wants to lose this battle for their trainers." Don George says with the crowd nodding as they continue to watch the battle. Back on the battlefield Barry speaks.

"I must say Ash I wasn't expecting your Garchomp to be similar in strength to my Empoleon." Barry says as Ash speaks.

"If you think that Garchomp's strong right now then you'll be even more surprised as we get more serious." Ash says with Garchomp agreeing with him making Barry smile as he speaks.

"Is that so? Well then, the same thing applies to Empoleon." Barry says with Empoleon agreeing with him as it lets out a roar and glares at Garchomp with Garchomp glaring back. Ash then calls for his next command.

"Okay Garchomp let's go! Use Swords Dance then Earthquake!" Ash calls. Garchomp lets out a mighty roar as he sharply increases his physical attack power then stomps on the battlefield with his left foot causing it to shake as Barry speaks.

"You're not the only one who can increase their Pokémon's strength! Empoleon dodge the Earthquake by jumping in the air then use Swords Dance and Waterfall!" Barry calls. Empoleon nods as it quickly jumps in the air dodging the Earthquake. After that Empoleon sharply increases its physical attack power then covers its body in water and shoots forward heading for Garchomp as Ash speaks.

"Garchomp block Empoleon's attack!" Ash calls. Garchomp nods as he brings up his arms as Empoleon connects. Empoleon begins trying to push Garchomp back, but the land shark stands strong not moving an inch as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon now that you're close use Ice Beam!" Barry calls. Empoleon looks at Garchomp and opens its mouth as it's about to fire the icy beam Ash smiles and speaks.

"Sorry Barry but that's not going to work! Garchomp use Draco Meteor!" Ash calls surprising Barry as before he can tell Empoleon to dodge Garchomp lets out a mighty roar as he sends out a large orb of purple draconic energy that consumes Empoleon. Empoleon is sent high into the air and keeps going higher as when it gets high enough the orb then explodes. Everyone sees multiple large purple meteors appear with Empoleon being pushed down by one of them and crying out in pain as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon!" Barry calls in worry as Empoleon along with the meteors crash on the battlefield creating multiple explosions. Then when the explosions stop there's now a big cloud of smoke covering the entire battlefield as Jake speaks.

"Barry's Empoleon took a major blow from the Draco Meteor is it done?!" Jake says as when the smoke clears everyone can see Empoleon laying on its back groaning in pain and has scratches all over its body as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon are you okay?!" Barry asks as a couple seconds later Empoleon manages to stand back up, looks back at Barry and nods, making the boy smile. Ash then speaks.

"Yeah, I knew that wasn't going to be enough to take down Empoleon, but Garchomp did manage to weaken it enough meaning that it should go down with these next couple attacks." Ash says to himself as he looks at Garchomp and speaks.

"Garchomp It's time we end this! Fly forward and use Rock Smash!" Ash calls. Garchomp lets out a roar as he covers both of his claws in red fighting energy and begins flying forward going to hit Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon here it comes get ready!" Barry says with Empoleon nodding as it sees Garchomp coming and begins to glow a faint blue. Ash notices Empoleon slightly glowing and before he can say anything Barry speaks.

"Empoleon use Hydro Cannon!" Barry calls "Hydro Cannon?" Ash says as just when Garchomp's about to hit Empoleon, Empoleon's body is covered in a watery aura (activating its Torrent ability) and fires out a huge stream of water from its mouth that consumes Garchomp. Garchomp cries out in pain as the move sends Garchomp flying going past Ash and hitting the wall behind him as Ash looks back and speaks.

"Garchomp!" Ash calls in worry as when the Hydro Cannon goes away everyone can see Garchomp lying on his stomach groaning in pain. Garchomp then stands back up, he stumbles a little but manages to catch himself causing Ash to let out a relief sigh as Barry speaks.

"Darn that wasn't enough." Barry says while gritting his teeth as Ash speaks.

"What was that attack?" Ash asks as Jake speaks.

"Barry's Empoleon has unleashed a devastating Hydro Cannon that did a lot of damage to Ash's Garchomp." Jake says as Don George speaks.

"Indeed, similar to Blast Burn and Frenzy Plant Hydro Cannon is a move where only water type starters can use and is very powerful when it makes contact. It also leaves the user in a recharge phase after use." Don George says as back on the battlefield Ash looks forward and sees Empoleon panting heavily then speaks.

"So, that's what it is. It must've taken a lot of training in order for Empoleon to learn that move." Ash says as Barry speaks.

"Yeah, ever since the water tournament on Mandarin Island I've been training Empoleon in how to use that move as you can see it's very powerful especially when boosted with Empoleon's Torrent ability, so I'm surprised that your Garchomp survived it." Barry says with Ash nodding as he speaks.

"I'm surprised that Garchomp managed to survive too but I'm happy that he did because I can feel that his desire to win this battle is strong." Ash says with Garchomp agreeing with him as Barry speaks.

"Well, my Empoleon's desire to win is much stronger. Isn't that right Empoleon!" Barry says with Empoleon nodding as it continues to pant and looks at Garchomp who's panting too as Ash begins to think.

"Seems like neither Garchomp nor Empoleon are going to last long and while Empoleon's in its recharge phase I better end this now." Ash says to himself as Barry speaks.

"You're probably thinking that since Empoleon's in his recharge phase that he's stuck well think again. Empoleon use Hydro Cannon again!" Barry calls with Empoleon nodding as it lets out a roar and begins to charge up the move which surprises Ash as he speaks.

"Empoleon can fire another one?!" Ash says in surprise as Barry speaks.

"That's right I've trained Empoleon to be able to fire 2 Hydro Cannon's in a row and once this second one lands your Garchomp's going down." Barry says while having a confident look on his face and making Ash grit his teeth as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon fire!" Barry calls. Empoleon's body glows in an intense blue as it fires out another huge stream of water that heads for Garchomp. Back in the stands Tracey speaks.

"If that attack lands Garchomp's not going to survive!" Tracey says while having a worried look on his face with Misty, Leaf, Togetic, Poliwag and Hau having worried looks too while Nemona watches on waiting to see what Ash will do. Back on the battlefield Ash sees the Hydro Cannon coming and begins to think.

"Garchomp looks tired meaning that he won't be able to dodge in time but even if he could the Hydro Cannon's coming fast so that wouldn't matter. The only thing that I can have Garchomp do is charge forward." Ash says to himself as he looks at Garchomp who nods with Ash nodding too as he looks forward and speaks.

"Garchomp let's do this! Use Swords Dance then Dragon Rush!" Ash calls. Garchomp lets out a mighty roar as he sharply increases his attack power again, covers his body in dragon energy and shoots forward colliding with the Hydro Cannon. Everyone has surprised looks on their faces as Jake speaks.

"Looks like Ash's going to have his Garchomp face the Hydro Cannon head on!" Jake says as back on the battlefield we see Garchomp trying to push the Hydro Cannon back as Barry speaks.

"Good try Ash but that's not going to work! Empoleon more POWER!" Barry calls with Empoleon roaring as it increases the power of its Hydro Cannon more making it more difficult for Garchomp as Ash speaks.

"Garchomp don't give up WE BELIEVE IN YOU!" "PIKA!" Ash along with Pikachu cheer Garchomp on. Garchomp hears their cheers as he lets out a mighty roar increasing the power of his Dragon Rush as he begins to push the Hydro Cannon back. Barry, along with the crowd, have surprised looks on their faces as Jake speaks.

"Seems like Garchomp's starting to push the Hydro Cannon back!" Jake says as Don George speaks.

"You can see in its eyes just how much it wants to win this battle for Ash." Don George says as back on the battlefield Garchomp continues pushing the Hydro Cannon back as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon let's show them that your desire to win is stronger! MORE POWER!" Barry calls with Empoleon roaring as it increases the power of its Hydro Cannon again making it bigger and stronger. The attack begins to slowly push Garchomp back as Ash speaks.

"GARCHOMP YOU'RE ALMOST THERE DON'T GIVE UP!" "PIKA!" Ash along with Pikachu cheer with Garchomp nodding as he lets out another roar and when he does his Dragon Rush begins to change. Garchomp's body becomes incased with an orange sphere and the energy from the Dragon Rush turns into purple streaks. Ash notices this as he smiles and speaks.

"That's Giga Impact!" Ash says happily as Barry speaks.

"You're kidding me?!" Barry says in frustration as Garchomp roars and begins to easily go through the Hydro Cannon pushing it away and getting closer to Empoleon as Barry speaks.

"EMPOLEON DON'T LET IT BEAT YOU!" "EMMM! POLLLLLLLL!" Barry along with Empoleon yell as Empoleon adds more power to the Hydro Cannon making it stronger and slow Garchomp down a little bit but the land shark continues as he's getting closer to Empoleon Ash speaks.

"THAT'S IT GARCHOMP BREAK THROUGH THE HYDRO CANNON!" Ash cheers. Garchomp roars as a few seconds later he manages to break through the Hydro Cannon and rams his head hard into Empoleon's stomach. Empoleon coughs in pain as Barry speaks.

"EMPOLEON USE ICE BEAM!" Barry calls Empoleon quickly recomposes itself as it looks at Garchomp and fires the icy beam as Ash speaks.

"Garchomp dodge then use Swords Dance again!" Ash calls. Garchomp sees the ice beam coming and quickly moves to the right dodging the attack. When he does Garchomp sharply raises his physical attack to the max and looks at Empoleon with Empoleon looking at him as Barry speaks.

"EMPOLEON IT'S TIME TO END THIS! USE SWORDS DANCE THEN LIQUIDATION!" Barry calls Empoleon lets out a loud roar as it also sharply increases its physical attack power to the max, covers its left arm in water turning it into a water blade and goes to hit Garchomp as Ash speaks.

"GARCHOMP COUNTER WITH ROCK SMASH!" Ash calls Garchomp lets out a mighty roar as he covers his right claw in a bright crimson red and punches Empoleon in the face with Empoleon doing the same to Garchomp. When the 2-mons clash, they create a shockwave and begin trying to overpower the other as their trainers speak.


"DO IT EMPOLEON!" GO GARCHOMP!" "EMPOLLLLL!" "GARRRRRRR!" The 2 trainers, along with the 2-mons roar as there's then a big explosion that causes the battlefield to shake and creates a strong wind that almost blows Barry, Ash, and Pikachu away, but they stand their ground. A few seconds later the shaking along with the wind disappears as all there's left is a big cloud of smoke covering the entire battlefield. Everyone looks on as when the smoke disappears they see Empoleon along with Garchomp standing and staring at each other while panting heavily. The 2 mons continue to pant heavily until Garchomp stops and begins to fall forward. Ash has a surprised look on his face, but Garchomp manages to catch himself as he looks at Empoleon. Empoleon looks at Garchomp and smiles until it then falls down landing on its stomach as Barry speaks.

"Empoleon get up you're not done yet!" Barry calls but gets no response as Empoleon's completely knocked out. Barry has a surprised look on his face as Luana makes the call.

"Empoleon's unable to battle Garchomp's the winner. Seeing as contestant Barry has no more Pokémon left contestant Ash is the victor and will move onto the next round!" Luana calls as Jake speaks.

"And there you have it everyone after an intense battle Ash has won!" Jake says as on the battlefield Ash gets a big smile on his face and speaks.

"YEAH!" 'PIKA!" Ash along with Pikachu cheer with Garchomp roaring in victory while the crowd cheers for them. Back at Oak's ranch Delia, Mr. Mime, Oak, Daisy, Rose, and Ash's Pokémon cheer too with the dragon and ground types cheering the loudest. Back at the stadium in the stands Ash's friends are happy as Misty and Leaf speak.

"He Did It!" "Tic!" "Poli!" The 2 girls along with Togetic and Poliwag cheer happily as Hau speaks.

"Man, that battle had me at the edge of my seat I didn't know who was going to win." Hau says as Tracey speaks.

"I'll admit I was feeling the same way." Tracey says with Hau nodding. Over with Nemona she has a big smile on her face and is happy that Ash won as she begins to cheer along with the others. Back on the battlefield Ash along with Pikachu run over to Garchomp and give the mon a hug as Ash speaks.

"You did it Garchomp you were amazing!" "Pika!" Ash along with Pikachu say happily making Garchomp smile as he nibbles on Ash's head making the boy laugh. After that Skeledirge, Tinkaton, Rillaboom, Feraligatr, and Luxray come out of their Pokeball's too as Ash speaks.

"You guys were great too!" Ash says which makes the 5-mons happy as they then congratulate Garchomp as well making the land shark smile. Over with Barry he has a surprised look on his face and can't believe that he lost. Barry's frustrated but then takes a breath and smiles as he walks over to Empoleon. When he makes it to Empoleon he helps the mon stand back up, Empoleon looks at Barry and tells him sorry for losing as Barry speaks.

"It's okay Empoleon you along with everyone else did great." Barry says with Empoleon nodding as they begin walking over to Ash and his Pokémon. As Ash and his Pokémon continue to celebrate, they notice Barry and Empoleon walking over to them. When they get close enough, they look at each other as Barry speaks.

"I hate to admit it, but I lost and while it's frustrating if I had to lose to anyone, I'm happy that it's you." Barry says with Ash nodding as Barry continues to speak.

"But Ash now that you've beaten me you can't lose to anyone else in the tournament because if you do, I'll give you a fine for $100000000 Poke dollars." Barry says which makes Ash smile as he speaks.

"You got it, and I promise my Pokémon and I aren't losing to anyone else as when we win this tournament, we'll challenge Drake and beat him too." Ash says with his Pokémon agreeing with him. Barry along with Empoleon smile as Barry speaks.

"You better." Barry says as he along with Ash then shake hands and when they do Jake speaks.

"Let's all give a big round of applause to Barry and Ash!" Jake says with the crowd clapping for them causing the two boys along with their Pokémon to wave at the crowd. Then once they're done with that Barry returns Empoleon back to its Pokeball while Ash returns his Pokémon other than Pikachu back to their Pokeball's and the 2 boys walk off the battlefield. They then reunite with the others who tell them that their battle was great, which makes both boys happy as they say thank you. After that a few hours pass as it's now nighttime Cameron along with Rinto have won their battles and they along with Ash and Nemona are at the Pummelo Stadium battlefield and are looking at the stage where Jake and Don George are as Jake speaks.


"Congratulations on making it to the top 4!" Jake says making the 4 trainers happy as Don George speaks.

"From here on the battles to the top will be even more intense now please look at the screen to see who you'll be battling against." Don George says with the 4 trainers nodding as Jake presses a button and the 4 images on the screen begin to randomize. The images continue to spin until they stop showcasing who's battling who as Jake speaks.

"Seems as though the first battle tomorrow will be Ash vs Cameron and the match after that one will be Nemona vs Rinto!" Jake says surprising the 4 trainers as Cameron looks at Ash and speaks.

"Looks like we're battling each other Ash and this time my Pokémon and I are winning." Cameron says while having a confident look on his face as Ash speaks.

"We'll see about that." Ash says with Pikachu agreeing with him as we come over to Nemona and Rinto. The 2 of them look at each other as Nemona speaks.

"I'm looking forward to battling you tomorrow let's give it everything we got." Nemona says with Rinto nodding as Jake speaks.

"Since it's just you 4 trainers left in the tournament both of your battles will take place in stadium 1." Jake says as Don George speaks.

"Make sure you all get a good night's rest tonight so that you'll be at your peak performance tomorrow." Don George says with the 4 trainers nodding as they then walk away. When they do, they meet up with the others, Ash along with Misty, Leaf, and Tracey tell Nemona, Cameron, Hau, Barry, and Rinto goodnight then head to the Pokémon Center. When they make it to their room in the center Ash begins to strategize on who he's using for his battle against Cameron. After he's picked out the 6 mons, he calls Prof. Oak to switch out his Pokémon. Then when that's done, he, along with the others, go asleep as the chapter comes to an end.

Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. Ash and Barry had their battle tell me how did you like it? What were your favorite battles between Ash and Barry's Pokémon and who do you think Ash's going to use for his battle against Cameron. Remember when I said that there was going to be a battle between where 2 of Ash's rivals were going to battle each other? Did you guess that it was going to be Nemona and Rinto?

Next chapter will come out next week it'll mainly focus on Ash's battle against Cameron while the chapter coming out the following week will mainly focus on Nemona and Rinto's battle. I hope you all look forward to them.

Next Time Chapter 107: Orange League Tournament Top 4! Ash vs Cameron!

See you all next time!
