Winner's Cup! Full Battle 6 VS 6!

After earning four Orange League badges, Ash and his friends are headed for the Orange League where he and his comrades, are confident that either of them will capture the winner's trophy, Melody and Mikato joined our heroes on their Journey. But they had to do some training first, and rest their minds, and by that, Ash is taking a nap after a very long battle for the final badge on a hammock near the beach. While his comrades Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Chibiusa Tsukino, Makoto Kino, Mamoru Chiba, Minako Aino, Naru Osaka, Rei Hino, Erika from the Celadon City Gym, Usagi Tsukino, Jeanette, Duplica, Unazuki, May from the Hoenn Region, Verity from the Sinnoh Region, Sorrel, Misty from the Cerulean Gym are having their snack.

---

During Ash's dream, he and his Pokémon Team took down the champion's last Pokémon, declaring him and his comrades the new Champion of the Orange Islands, Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Chibiusa Tsukino, Makoto Kino, Mamoru Chiba, Minako Aino, Naru Osaka, Rei Hino, Erika from the Celadon City Gym, Usagi Tsukino, Jeanette, Duplica, Unazuki, May from the Hoenn Region, Verity from the Sinnoh Region, Sorrel, Misty from the Cerulean Gym couldn't believe it.

"Ash wins the Orange League!" The announcer called

"We did it! We won!" Ash cheered

"Pi Pikachu!"

"Oh yeah!" Makoto said embracing him

Just then Usagi, Ami, the girls and the moon cats are awaiting for Ash and Makoto to hold high the trophy, and the hall of fame. Holding hand and Hand, Ash and Makoto as well as their Pikachu and Raichu's walked towards the stage, with grace.

"Another Pokémon Leauge bites the dust." Makoto said

But before Ash could say anything, the top of his head began to shake, as he was about to have a seizure. His comrades began to worry.

"A… Ashy, are you ok?" Ami asked worriedly

"Something is going on with the top of his head." Usagi pointed out "Like a Car hood"

Then the top of his head began fly open and back down like a car hood, as his brain began to act like a car engine but his hat didn't go flying off as the top began to shake more, then when Ash as was about to take another step, his head flew open completely, and his brain is trying to literally fly out of his head, and his hat fell backwards, Ash, Makoto, Rei, Usagi, Ami, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and the others are horrified of what they are seeing even the crowd gasp and the announcer too.

"Ahh!" Ash screamed as he tried to pull his brain back to his head

"What the hell!?" Makoto gasped

"Oh no! Ash Ketchum's brain is literally trying to leave him! He better get his brain under control or he is done for!" The announcer gasped

"Quick! We got to help him!" Rei shouted

Makoto, Usagi, Rei, Ami, Misty, May, Minako, Setsuna, Erika, Lorelei all grabbed Ash and tried to help him get his brain back into his head, but it became a dramatic tug of war with the brain trying to fly and Ash and girls tugging.

"Come on Brain! Get back in there!" Ash grunted

Haruka took the cable of Ash's brain to help. "Damn it! We're not gonna lose our prince! Not! One! BIT!" She grunted

"No! The cable is starting to break!" Michiru grunted as the cable is breaking loose

"I don't want to see our prince die on us!" May grunted "Not again!"

But it was too late, just as they were about to think of the worst, after a tug of war of death, they pulled with all their might, but the cable snapped, as Ash's brain flew up and away from the stadium and to space, and Ash and the girls flew backwards, Ash's eyes began to close and he fainted.

---

Then Ash woke up as quickly as possible, as Makoto and Rei shook Ash trying to wake him us and when he did, he found himself in the hammock on the beach where he was napping. He rubbed his head and his hair, meaning his brain is still intact, and he sighed in relief.

"Ashy? Ashy! ASHY!" Makoto and Rei yelled.

"WAKE UP!"

"What? Oh!" Ash gasped "Oh, Hey, Mako and Rei."

"Pi Pikachu!"

"Finally, you're awake!" Makoto said. "Come on! We gotta go!"

"We've gotta head to Pummelo Island and get registered for tomorrow!" Rei said. "Everyone's waiting for you!"

"Oh right! Thanks for reminding me!" Ash said as he got up and followed the two. "I had a very strange and weird dream."

"Tell about it later, let's go!" Makoto and Rei said. "If we don't get there by sundown we won't be able to register."

---

Then without hesitation, they head towards the boat that will head to Pummelo Island, to where the Orange League will the held at, And after travailing for hours, our heroes dock at the port of the beaches of Pummelo Island and they all head into town and admire the scenery, the Island is full of trees and mountains outside of town, which is a beautiful looking town, and the middle mountain, lies a big Pummelo Stadium, The stadium is a colosseum atop a hill overlooking the city. The Colosseum itself looks like a one from Greece.

"Hey there it is!" Minako cried. "Pummelo Island!"

"So that's where the Orange Crew Champion is waiting for us to meet and beat him!" May said.

"The island is so beautiful!" Ami said

"Yeah, I can't wait to challenge the Orange League Champion!" Unazuki said.

---

They all head in the Verification House part of the Stadium, where Pokémon Trainers who wish to participate in the Orange League verify their Badges and are permitted to enter. There is a front desk, that has a computer and a scanner to see if the Badges won are real. Off to the right is a stone Dragonite statue. One can also get information for the League here as well. and they all approached the receptionist desk to get registered for the Pokémon League, one by one, they all showed their badges and All the badges are verified for each of them.

"Hello, we're all here to challenge for the Orange League." Ash said, as he showed his badges.

"It looks like you all came to pallet town, and traveled all the way here, to Challange the competition right?" The receptionist asked "Mr. Ketchum, Ms. Mizuno, Ms. Tsukino, you three would be participating in tag team battles. And so are your comrades. If each of your Pokémon are knocked out, instead of being disqualified, you tag your partner for their turn to take over."

"Oh that's new, I've never had a Pokémon battle like that before." Ash said.

"Maybe it's because the Creator of this fanfic is a fan of Tag Team fighting games?" Minako asked

While the others are at the desk, some of the gang are looking at the statue of a Dragonite while Tracey sketches it. Makoto gazes at it, and reminds her of wanting a Dragonite.

"Wow, this statue is pretty impressive." Tracey said.

"I wish I had a Dragonite." Makoto said.

"Hey, Mako, one day, we'll find a way to get you a Dragonite. Maybe a Shiny one." May said.

While the others are admiring the Dragonite Statue, the Receptionist explained that Ash's group would be battling today, at 11:00 Sharp, with each three of Ash's members will continue on each time the opponent is knocked out.

"Ah I see, so that's good to know." Ami said.

"Aw, man! There's no elite four this time." Rei pouted

"I don't think they have an Elite Four." Makoto said

"Hey is it just me, or have the four Gym Battles we've had here are different from the ones back in Kanto?" Minako asked.

"Yep. It's completely different." Ash said winking "I think we should choose our Pokémon that we would be using for the League."

"Pi Pi Pikachu."

"I'm glad Gary isn't here, i think he headed back to Pallet after blowing off some steam." Haruka said winking

"Yeah, I doubt he could even get this far in the Orange League." Misty said.

"Before we choose Our Pokémon, Let's go inform our Families know where we are." Ash said

"Oh how can we forget that, Daddy?" Hotaru asked

"Good idea Ashy, and we gotta introduce Mikato to your mother!" Verity said.

"There's a video phone near the Pokémon center of the Building." Minako pointed out

"Then let's go!" Erika said.

---

Then Ash, and our heroes, the Moon Cats and their Pikachus and Makoto's Raichu all headed to the Video Phone, and he turns on the Video Phone and prepared to make a call from the Orange League all the way to Oak's Lab back in the Kanto Region, then The screen comes up and Delia and Oak are seen on screen, just as the gang.

"Oh hello Ash, hello everyone." Oak greeted

"HI Honey!" Delia greeted

"Hi Mom, hey Professor

Oak." Ash greeted.

"Hi Mrs. Ketchum!" The girls greeted "Hello Professor!"

"Mommy Delia!" Chibiusa and Hotaru greeted

"It's so good to see you again Ash." Delia said, before she noticed Mikato. "Oh, and who might that young lady with the magenta hair be?"

"Uh, I'm Mikato, I'm currently in a relationship with your son." Mikato said. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Ketchum!"

"Oh my heavens!" Delia gasped "My son has found another girl!"

"Hey uh Mom, there's something wanted to talk with you about." Ash said.

"What is it sweetie?" Delia asked.

"Yeah, Ashy had a very weird and strange dream." Minako cut him off "It's not a bad dream, it was a Weird one!"

"MINAKO!" Everyone groaned.

"We keep telling you not to interrupt Ashy, Mina!" Naru said.

"I was just kidding." Minako said.

He told Delia and Oak that Mikato were attacked by Sharpedo while on a date with her ex-boyfriend and used to have no chest at all, and had to go to the hospital, not only was she outcasted, disowned by her family, but was dumped by her boyfriend, but with Ash's and his comrades help, they were able to help her back on her feet and defeat Damian and used a Z-Move with their powers and nearly destroyed the Vacant lot, and Using the Dragon Balls for the first time, they used their first wish to restore Mikato to her former glory and her new outfit, the second wish to restore the Vacant lot and the third to heal their Pokémon. And after using their wishes, the 7 Dragon Balls all scattered around the earth for a year.

"Oh my goodness!" Delia gasped.

"You used the Dragon Balls?" Oak asked "That explains the yellow beam scattered through my lab."

"Woah, rewind a sec Professor!" Jeanette said. "What do you mean, yellow beam scattered through your lab!"

"One of the Dragon Balls that had been used flew past my lab and then when it landed, it turned into stone, and the Dragon Balls can be used again in 5 months or a year." Oak said

"Also Mom, I was hoping that Mikato could come and live with us." Ash said.

"Why of course, Ash. She can come live with us." She replied

"But of course if there's no room, I won't force anything." Mikato said.

But Delia gave a warm smile. "Actually I just wanted to tell you Ash, that I've decided to give the house a renovation." Delia said. "I had a feeling you might meet another girl who became an orphan, I am your mother after all."

"Yeah, I'm really happy!" Mikato said

"By the way Ash, just where are you calling from?" Professor Oak asked.

"We're at the Verification house at Pummelo Stadium, in Pummelo island." Ami said

"And we're registering for the Orange League now!" Tomoko added.

"Oh! Looks like you are all ready and at em!" Oak said

"Ash, I know you and your friends will win." Delia said. "We'll be cheering for you."

"You know it. We have trained hard, worked hard together, and overcome a lot of obstacles along the way. While making new friends and Pokémon." Ash replied

"Pika, Pikachu!"

"A six on six Pokémon match could last a pretty long time. But, either of you will be in the Hall of Fame forever if you win it." Oak said "Even in a Tag Team, you have a 99% chance of winning."

"And we will win." Minako said.

"Just think, all of us being a big hall of fame." Makoto said "One gigantic Picture, one huge hall on the left next to the other champions."

"I'm so fired up for this!" May said.

"Me, Delia, Oak and the townspeople will watch on the giant monitor in Pallet Town Square cheering you all on." Ikuko said "So now, shall we say our farewells?"

"Bye Mom!" Usagi said. "We'll do our absolute best!"

"Goodbye everyone!" Delia waved

"Bye!" Ash and the gang waved.

Then as the Phone call ended, the Receptionist showed them to the entrance to the stadium, which is behind the Pokémon Center, but before they do so, they choose what 6 Pokémon they are gonna use for the league. With Ash and the girls having their Pikachus and Makoto's Raichu as her first, Hotaru, since it is her first Pokémon League, is quite nervous about it, but excited at the same time. ChibiUsa wishes that she can compete in a Pokémon League one day.

"Oh, I'm so nervous." Hotaru said. "This is my first Pokémon League and I only have Pikachu and Lapras."

"Hey, Hotaru, how about you can borrow some of my Pokémon I haven't used before?" Ash suggested acting like a father

"Are you sure Daddy?" Hotaru asked. "Isn't it against the rules to use someone else's Pokémon?"

"I'm not sure." Minako said

"I'm sure it'll be fine." Ami reassured.

"I guess we can do it just once." Ash said allowing Hotaru summoning, Shiny Onix, Tangela, Nidorina and DoDuo. "Here you go, Hotaru."

"Thanks Daddy." Hotaru said.

"You're lucky Hotaru, I wish I could compete in the League, but I'm not old enough!" Chibiusa pouted.

"One day, you will, Chibiusa. Who knows? Maybe you can compete in the Johto league." Ash assured putting his hand on Chibiusa's shoulder.

"Yeah, that's for sure." Ash said "Anyway, let's go."

"Yeah, let's do this!" Jeanette said.

---

Not too far behind them, in One Island which is revealed that the Makai tree is located at in the top of Mt. Ember in the Sevii Islands next to Pummelo Island Ail and Ann were still fuming over losing the Dragon Balls and wishing for world domination, and Team Rocket bailing on them. One Island is an isolated little Place, and most of the younger people living on the island are eager to leave for big cities. One Island is home to the Pokémon Network Center, run by Celio. The Net Center is located in the town of One Island, on the south side of the island. The Pokémon Net Center has a large, long-distance trade machine that enables Trainers to trade Pokémon with others in the Hoenn and Orre regions. A small area extends to an island south of the town, called Treasure Beach, where valuable items, such as Big Pearls and Stardust, wash up and is an enormous volcano, Mt. Ember, at the very north tip of the island, and it is reachable via a path known as Kindle Road, which is popular for its hot springs. The hot springs on Kindle Road can restore energy and vitality to Pokémon. Mt. Ember makes the island a popular tourist spot thanks to the hot springs and climate. Luckily, Mt. Ember has not erupted in years. Although believed to be inactive, the tunnels beneath the volcano are still warm with geothermic energy that attracts Fire-type Pokémon. Additionally, the presence of a legendary Pokémon on Mt. Ember keeps the peak ablaze with flames at night however, ever since the Makai tree grew in the Island, it has became cold and mossy. Mt. Ember and One Island are home to Moltres in Pokémon FireRed and only completes the Net Center after the main character in Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen brings him both the Sapphire and the Ruby, found on Five Island and atop Mt. Ember, respectively. The Makai Tree, An and Ail were witnessing a starling and troubling sight. The Makai Tree's leaves were raining everywhere, all of which were withered and dry, which was a sure sign that it was getting worse.

"Why... is this happening so suddenly?!" An gasped.

"I don't know..." Ail replied. "It's bizarre."

"What'll we do Ail, if the Makai Tree dies, then we'll die!" Ann cried. "I don't want to die!"

"Silence, you two." The voice said

"Huh? Who said that?" Ann and Ail asked, turning around.

It is revealed to be Fiore, who are exactly identical to Ail and Ann, he stepped out of the shadows.

"No way, it can't be!" Ann gasped.

"Fiore! You're alive?!" Ail gasped. "We thought you had died with the rest of our kind!"

"I was resurrected with the Dragon Balls, long ago." He replied "I wanted to be with Mamoru very badly."

"Mamoru?" Ann asked. "What's your connection with him?"

"Me and him are friends when we were very young, he gave me a rose when it was time for me to leave, he lost his parents due to a car accident." He replied

"Fiore, if you've been alive this whole time, where have you been?" Ail asked. "You could've helped us gather more energy for the Makai Tree! You realise if it dies then we'll perish!"

He showed a hologram of Pummelo Stadium, The stadium is a colosseum atop a hill overlooking the city. A statue of a Dragonite, the guardian of Pummelo Island, is situated at the top of the stadium. Similar to Pokémon League Conference stadiums, there is a giant screen standing above the battlefield that displays each Trainer's Pokémon. In the battle for the Winner's Trophy, whenever three of either Trainer's Pokémon are unable to battle, the field is changed. And the audience.

"When the young man, Ash Ketchum who which Ann tried to seduce by the way, wins, and his comrades win the league, we will attack!" He said "We will take everyone's and their Pokémon's energy from them in the entire stadium by force! With that, we will get Mamoru, and if they want him back, that guy and his comrades need to come up to us.The makai tree will be resurrected and in full power to take this entire planet, and turn it into our own energy garden, and everyone on it, will bow down to us." He said

"And your point is?" Ann asked, only catching half of the plan.

"You did plant your boobs on his face." Ail said

"Yeah I did, so what? You want to make a deal about it?" Ann said

"I see." Ail said. "And you didn't bother to show yourself to us until now because?"

"Maybe he is too ashamed to admit what happened last time he fought Sailor Moon?" Ann replied "I'll make Ash mine and I'll tie him up and whip him in the ass good!"

"Do you both want the Makai Tree to survive or not?!" Fiore asked, sounding impatient with Ann and Ail's bickering.

"Y… Yes sir!" They both replied in fear

"Good." Fiore said. "By the way, who are these three called Team Rocket?"

"You mean Jessie, James and Meowth? They bailed on us." Ail said

"Then we move forward without them." Fiore said. "Ail and Ann prepare the Makai Tree for our final battle, wait for my signal to attack and then we strike. Got it!"

"Yes sir!" The two said

---

Back with Ash and the gang, everyone were all gathered in the stadium to watch the Orange League from the bleachers, Then at Pallet Town, the Orange League is live broadcasted on the big monitor in Pallet Town square, and the townspeople and even Ash's and the girls' families are watching in awe, as Ash, Ami and Usagi are going first on to fighting the Champion, who is the challenging them the rest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's Orange League Championship competition!" The announcer called "Live and Broadcasting all over the globe!"

"We're gonna finally battle in the Orange League!" Duplica said. "I'm so nervous."

"Now prepare yourselves, cause we have a bunch of Trainers coming all the way from Pallet and others, to Challange the one, the only… Champion, Drake!!!!"

"So that's the Champion of the Orange Crew?" Jeanette asked.

"Holy hell, he's so hot!" The girls from the crowd roars

"Sure looks like he's popular with the girls." Rei said. "But Ashy's much hotter in our opinion."

"From the other side, are the challengers that came from Pallet Town who they defeated the Elite four and the Champion back in the Kanto region…. Give a warm roar for Ash Ketchum, Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, Minako Aino, Haruka Tennoh, Michiru Kaioh, Setsuna Meiou, May, Sorrel, Verity, Mamoru Chiba, Unazuki and Tomoko!!!" The announcer and notices a few girls "Wow! Look do we have here! Looks like Ash Ketchum has got a 2 Gym leaders, and an Elite Four Member in his crowd! Give a HUGE sponsor to them!"

"Thank you, you're all too kind!" Usagi smiled.

"Thank you, thank you! Hold your applause." Minako gushed.

The crowd roared for our heroes and then when Oooh when they saw Misty, Daisy, Violet, Lilly, Erika and Lorelei and began to roar even loudly, causing the whole stadium to eco though the island.

"Go Ashy, girls Mamoru and Sorrel!" Erika and Misty cheered.

"Do your best!" Daisy, Lily, Violet, Chibiusa, Lorelei and Mikato cheered.

"Looks Like Ash, Ami and Usagi are the first tag team to face off against Drake, Remember if your Pokémon faints, tag your partner's hand for their turn. Rinse and repeat!" The announcer said "Ok, 3…. 2….. 1….. GOO!!!"

"The Orange League Championship battle is about to begin." The referee said. "During the Winner's Trophy competition whenever three of either Trainer's Pokémon are unable to battle, there will be a time out for a field change."

"What's a field change?" Usagi asked.

"Yeah, and how should a Field change be activated?" Minako asked which everyone is dumbfounded Right when Minako said that, the battlefield began to sink into the ground.

"A field change is the transformation of the battle area." The referee explained. "Here in the Orange League, we think it's important to test both Trainers and Pokémon to think on their feet and to adapt to different terrains. The Gym Leader is forbidden to switch Pokémon, but the Challengers are allowed to switch Pokémon as they wish."

"I guess Ashy's up first." Ami said "Show him what you're made of."

"Don't you worry, I will." Ash said, as the battlefield then came back up, showing the terrain had both rock and water elements on it. "I guess I have to use Electric and Grass types."

"Looks like the first battlefield contains both rock and water terrain." Haruka said. "So this must be how they change the battlefield."

"Now, Ditto, Go!" Drake called as he tossed the PokeBall

Then Ditto materlized from the ball. In its natural state, Ditto is a light-purple or pink blob-like Pokémon with vestigial facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two pseudopod-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile. Ditto bears a variety of unusual and often entirely unique traits that set it apart from every other Pokémon. It is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any physical object or living creature, including its form and abilities. Each Ditto has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transforming; being unable to remain transformed while laughing and getting details of its transformation wrong if based on memory being apparently universal. The Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cardsdepict Ditto being able to transform separate sections of its body into parts from multiple Pokémon at once. In the Pokémon the Seriesepisode Ditto's Mysterious Mansion, as well as in the TCG and some spin-off games, it is shown that occasionally Ditto cannot change its face during transformation; a trait that has become synonymous with the species despite being incongruous with their depiction in core series games. While its transformation ability allows it to get along with almost anything, it does not get along with its own kind, which it will quickly (and generally fruitlessly) attempt to transform into. It is shown to be able to transform into humans as well; however, it cannot mimic human speech. It transforms into a rock when sleeping to avoid being attacked. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Ditto is known to sleep while still transformed into either a rock or Pokémon. On very rare occasions, a sleeping Ditto will transform back to normal when it is relaxed. Ditto is never far from civilization or people, and is the only Pokémon capable of using the Metal Powderand Quick Powder items. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Imposter as an Ability. In The Indigo Disk, various Ditto Blocks can be found as objectives in Blueberry Quests throughout the Terarium, where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium. Despite being milestones for the player to obtain, and not actually obtainable themselves, they can still be Shiny

"It's a Ditto!" Ash gasped

"Just like Mine!" Duplica cried

"Orange Crew Leader Drake has made Ditto his first choice!" The announcer called, as Ditto's picture appeared on the monitor. "Transform is Ditto's one and only technique, but this Pokémon turns its opponent's strength into its own, which can be devastating."

"Ditto, will transform and copy what Pikachu uses." Misty said.

"Ditto's gonna be tricky." Tracey added. "This isn't gonna be an easy one."

"Pikachu, You first." Ash said "Try to outsmart Ditto."

"Pi Pikachu!"

"The challenger has chosen Pikachu, an electric Pokémon who looks charged up and ready for battle!" The announcer said

"Go for it Pikachu!" Chibiusa cheered, as did her Togepi.

"Ditto has transformed into a Pikachu!" The announcer called.

"Let's do this Pikachu, use Thunder!" Ash called.

"Ditto, you use Thunder too!" Drake called.

Both Pikachu and Ditto fires multiple bolts of yellow electricity into the sky. The bolts then combine and form a swirling mass of yellow electricity that fires several bolts of electricity at one another, the attacks collided again, and again and again, until they'd hit, however, Ash's Pikachu absorbed Ditto's Lightning like a sponge

"And it's a high flying voltage Thunder showdown here!" The announcer called. "But both Pikachu and Ditto are taking everything they got and not backing down, proving they can each take the heat! But what's this!? Ash's Pikachu is just as fast as Ditto! And woah, looks like Pikachu is absorbing Ditto's lightning like a Sponge!"

"Pikachu! Thundershock now!" Ash called.

"Ditto! Use your Thundershock too!" Drake called.

Both Ditto's and Pikachu's bodies glows yellow, then they releases a yellow lightning bolt from their bodies, their attacks collided again, and again, until it hit Ditto but Pikachu sucks up the attack with his cheeks once more making him more stronger.

"This pair of Pokémon is pouring on the power, something's gotta give!" The announcer called.

And something did give, and that were the rocks that Pikachu and Ditto were standing on, both rocks began to crumble before they broke and both Pikachu and Ditto fell down, but they stood up.

"Pikachu, Use Iron Tail!" Ash called

"Ditto, Iron Tail too!" Drake called.

Both Ditto Pikachu's tails glows white or turns into iron and they hit each other with it. Sometimes, it leaves behind a white trail of energy where it swings, taking the hit, but they are still standing, Ash's Pikachu, more determined to battle, stood his ground,

"Well fans it may seem as the Orange Crew Leader may have already won this round, choosing Ditto as a strategy we've seen Drake win with before. Some challengers never get passed this terrific Transformer." The announcer called. "But wait, By absorbing The attackes, Pikachu has one more attack!"

"Ashy! Try switching to another Pokémon!" Erika cried.

"What good would that do?" Ash said. "Ditto, will just transform and copy everything we do."

"After facing Ditto, previous challengers have lost their cool, seeing all their own Pokémon's hard earned attacks and abilities thrown right back at them." The announcer said. "Many trainers have failed to make major errors against Ditto, errors that may cost them the Winner's Trophy."

"We'll hit 'em with a combination!" Pikachu, Use an Agility and Thunder Iron Tail combo!" Ash called

"Thunder Iron Tail?!" Drake asked.

Ash's Pikachu picks up speed as it charges as his tail turned into Iron and the lightning spread to the tail ready to attack, Drake's Ditto tried to use Mega Punch, but Pikachu is too fast, then he hit ditto in his chest with Iron tail 3 times with lightning in it, which shocks him to a billion, then Ditto falls to the ground swirly-eyed, meaning one thing that Pikachu has won.

"Pikachu's shocking tail, may have stopped the Ditto cold." The announcer called, as Ditto is knocked out as the referee called.

"Ditto is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner."

"Oh yeah!" Ash cheered "Great Job Pikachu!"

"Pi Pikachu!"

"I haven't seen Agility in a long time, since LT. Serge." Makoto said

"The first victory goes to challenger Ash Ketchum and Pikachu!" The announcer called, as Ditto's picture on the screen went black, meaning Ditto was eliminated from the battle.

"Wow, I had no idea Iron Tail could be used that way." Tomoko gasped. "That's one powerful Pikachu."

"Ditto return." Drake called, recalling Ditto. "You did a great job Ditto. And so did you Ash, I had no idea Agility could be used that way. I must say you definitely caught me off guard."

"Thanks, Drake. We have been training hard and having fun." Ash said

"But this next Pokémon's really gonna rock your world!" Drake called, tossing his second PokéBall. "Onix, Go!"

Then Onix Materlized from the PokeBall. Onix is a Pokémon composed of a giant chain of gray boulders that become smaller towards the tail. Its length makes it the tallestRock-type Pokémon. It has black eyes and a rounded snout. On top of its head is a rocky spine. As it grows older, it becomes more rounded and smoother, eventually becoming similar to black diamonds. Inside its brain is a magnet that serves as an internal compass, guiding Onix wherever they need to go and prevents them from getting lost while digging.

Onix tunnels under the ground at over 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour, which causes tremors and a terrifying roar that echoes a long way. Hard objects encountered while tunneling are absorbed into its body, which makes it very sturdy. It also consumes the boulders for food. The massive, winding tunnels it leaves behind are used as homes by Diglett. As seen in the Pokémon Stadium series, Onix is capable of rotating its head, or any part of its body, in a full 360 degrees. It is a very aggressive Pokémon that will constantly attack humans and other Pokémon when in pain, as seen in the Pokémon the Series episode To Master the Onixpected!. As seen in the Pokémon Adventures manga, Onix can be separated from its body segments in battle and be fine later on, either regenerating or reattaching to its body segments. It is said that an Onix that lives for about 100 years will evolve into a Steelix after its composition becomes more diamond-like. It can be found in mountains and caves. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Onix is known on occasion to sleep while in the middle of digging through tunnels. Onix is believed to be a deep sleeper due to the protection offered by its sturdy body.

"For his second Pokémon, Drake has chosen Onix." The announcer called, as Onix's picture appeared on the monitor. "A Rock Type that's strong against Electric Types. Now will the Challenger remain or will he tag in one of his teammates?"

"Ok, Ami, your up!" Ash said holding

"Got it Ashy." Ami said. "I'll do my best."

With that, Ash and Ami help hands and she went up to the battlefield, which upon seeing Onix, she knows that she needs a Water Pokemon to face him off.

"Okay, against Onix, I choose you, Poliwhirl!" Ami called, before tossing her Pokéball.

Then Poliwhirl Materlized from the ball. Poliwhirl is a blue, bipedal amphibian Pokémon with a spherical body. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head. A black and white swirl covers its belly, which is actually its organs showing through its thin skin. It appears to have white gloves on its hands and rounded, digit-less feet. When out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist and healthy. This keeps it covered in an oily fluid that allows it to slip away from enemies. All of its skin feels this way except where its swirl is, which is instead very smooth. The swirl on its belly undulates slowly and staring at it induces drowsiness.

Even though Poliwhirl is capable of moving on land, it prefers to stay in freshwater ponds and lakes where it has fewer natural enemies. It feeds on both bug and fish Pokémon. While it will leave the water to capture bug Pokémon, it will return and consume them underwater in safety. Its swirl is used to make children fall asleep. Poliwhirl's sweat is filled with slimy mucus. When captured by an enemy, it either slithers to escape or use its swirl to put the enemy to sleep.

"An easy choice for Ami Mizuno, who has chosen her Water-Type Poliwhirl to go up against the Onix." The announcer called, as Poliwhirl's picture appeared on screen.

"That's just what I thought she would choose." Drake said.

"I didn't know Ami had a Poliwhirl." Rei said.

"Hey, Remember back at the Princess Festival that Ami's Poliwag evolved?" Chibiusa asked

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Rei said.

"I don't know, you guys, this one could go either way." Tracy said

"Come on, Poliwirl! Get out there and win this one for all the water Pokémon!" Hotaru called

"Let's go Ami! Show them why your specialty is Water Types!" Misty cheered.

"Judging by Type Poliwhirl has the advantage, but Onix is a rock solid battler." The announcer said.

"Now, Onix use dig!" Drake called

"Poliwhirl use Bubble!" Ami called.

Onix dives underground. Seconds later, it comes back and attacks however Poliwirl counters it by Poliwhirl's hands glow white or blue and then it shoots blue or white bubbles from its hands at the opponent.

"In a lightning shower of speed, Onix has burrowed into the ground dodging Poliwhirl's attack." The announcer called.

"Careful Ami! Onix might come up out of nowhere and attack Poliwhirl from underground." Sorrel warned.

"And now Onix has the advantage as Poliwhirl nervously waits its reappearance." The announcer stated.

"Poliwirl, go dive into the water! Don't let Onix find you!" Ami called.

In an instance, Poliwirl dove underwater, and swam down to find Onix's digging spot, and got ready to use bubble once more

"Poliwhirl is attempting to avoid Onix by heading for the water!" The announcer said.

"Onix, use your Iron Tail attack on the ground and aim at the water!" Drake called.

The Iron Tail slammed into the ground so hard that it made all the water in the pool wavy and Poliwhirl went into the air, before Onix then wrapped its rocky body around it.

"There it is! Onix has smashed Poliwhirl into the air and now has Poliwhirl trapped in its Bind attack." The announcer commented. "This is classic Drake, using the battlefield to his advantage folks. In the past previous challengers have been caught off guard by Drake's quick and unexpected moves."

"This round goes to me." Drake said, with confidence.

"Damn! Poliwirl is trapped!" Ash grunted "Ami, I hope you got an idea to break free!"

"This round's not over yet." Ami said. "No matter how fast Onix is, Poliwhirl has the advantage, and I still have a trick up my sleeve. Poliwhirl use Hydro Pump and spin around like a we saw Tad's Dusknoir did!"

Then Ami's Poliwirl blasts a powerful jet of water from its mouth in the center of the whirl at the opponent, while spinning around and round like a raging whirlpool.

"Poliwhirl's battling back by spinning around in that Bind attack while also spraying a shocked and surprised Onix using Hydro Pump!" The announcer called. "I've never seen anything like that before!"

"Hey, Ami, you sure got a lot of stuff! You've been training your Pokémon like a sensei trains its students in martial arts!" Drake said

"This is amazing folks! Poliwhirl's Hydro Pump is dousing down Onix! The stunned Rock Snake Pokémon can't seem to get out of that attack!" The announcer called.

"Thanks Drake, now let's wrap this up!" Ami said. "Poliwhirl finish this off with Ice Punch!"

Then Poliwirl's hand becomes surrounded by a blizzard, and she punches the opponent, freezing it, before Onix could even slams its head into the opponent.

"A knock out move! That Ice Punch just turned out the lights and now it looks like it's nighty night for Onix!" Tha announcer called, as Onix is knocked out as the referee called.

"Onix is unable to battle, Poliwhirl is the winner."

"We did it! Wonderful job Poliwirl! I'm very very proud of you!" Ami cheered and holds her arms out for her Pokemon

"That is the second inconsecutive defeat for Drake!" The announcer called, as Onix's picture on the screen went black, meaning Onix was eliminated from the battle.

"I thought that Bind would stop Poliwhirl." Drake said. "Onix return!" He recalled Onix. "Thanks Onix, you've earned a good rest."

The people in the crowd of Pummelo Island were impressed by Ash and his friends so far. And started talking about it amongst themselves.

"Way to go, Lovely Bookworm!" Ash called

"Well Ami, I gotta admit, I had no idea Hydro Pump could be used that way." Drake said. "You've definitely earned my respect."

"Why thank you very much, Drake." Ami thanked

"So far you and your companions have beaten two of my Pokémon. But this time you don't stand a ghost of a chance!" Drake called, tossing his third PokéBall. "Gengar go!" He tosses Gangar's PokéBall and he Materlized from the ball

Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal Pokémonwith a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a heat sink. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 F (5 C), because it absorbs the warmth. It is shown in Pokémon the Series that Gengar can fly, turn intangible, possess people and other Pokémon, create illusions and extend its tongue by several meters. In Generation I, Night Shadewas its signature move. Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a Trainer who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via trading, Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in caves and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Gengar is known to sleep deeply while hiding in the shadow of a target it plans to curse

"It's a Gengar!" Minako gasped.

"Hey, like mine!" Ash cried

"Pi!"

"Drake has chosen the Ghost Pokémon Ganger as his third choice." The announcer called, as Gangar's picture appeared on the monitor. "Now will the trainer keep battling or will tag in one of her teammates?"

"Ami! Tag me in! Tag me in!" Usagi begged.

"Ok, Usagi." Ami said as she held her hand to her

"Go for it Usagi!" Ash cheered. "Do your best!"

"Ok, My Ashy-Dashy!" Usagi giggled and hopped like a bunny

"It looks like the Ami Mizuno is switching with Usagi Tsukino!" The announcer stated. "Now which of her six Pokémon will she use?"

"Usako, be careful!" Mamoru called. "There aren't a lot of Pokémon that are really strong against Ghost Types like Gangar!"

"That's right." Usagi remembered, but she did have one Pokémon that might be an even match. "Oh well, guess it's time to test out my luck with my starter. Clefable! I choose you!"

She then tosses her PokeBall and her Clefable Materlized from the ball Clefable is a tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its forehead, much like its long, tightly curled tail. On its back is a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.

Clefable is a timid, nocturnal creature that flees when it senses people approaching and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile to 1,100 yards away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, mountainous areas of which it is protective. It has also been seen at deserted lakes during a full moon. Using a bouncy gait, it can walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. In the Pokémon the Series episode Clefairy Tales, Clefable is depicted as an extraterrestrial Pokémon. According to one tradition, seeing a pair of Clefable ensures a happy marriage. Some scientists believe Clefable stares intently at the moon because it is homesick. There is also a legend to this, which tells of how it listens for the voices of its kind on the moon during clear and quiet nights. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Clefable is known to sleep in remote places during quiet, moonlit nights. It is theorized that Clefable is dreaming about its friends and distant homeland during its peaceful slumber. Before Generation V, Clefable and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémonthat could have Magic Guard as an Ability

"Wait Clefable is a Normal Type, but Usagi knows full well that Normal Type Moves don't work on Ghost Types." Mikato said. "Isn't that right?"

"That's true, but don't forget that Clefable is also a Fairy Type." Haruka said. "And Fairy Type Moves are effective on Dark Types."

"Quite a unique choice but Tsukino might have a secret strategy." The announcer said, as Clefable's picture appeared on the monitor. "The young challengers are 2-0."

"Clefable, use Psybeam!" Usagi called

"Ganger, counter with Mimic now!" Drake called.

Clefable fires a magenta beam of energy with multicolored particles from its eyes at the opponent, only for Gengar to mimic the same, by fires a magenta beam of energy with multicolored particles from its eyes at the opponent, however Clefable dodges it in time.

"Gangar use Poison Jab!" Drake called.

"Oh no! Poison Jab's a Poison Type move!" Verity cried.

"If it makes contact with Clefable it'll be really bad!" Michiru cried.

"Clefable use Safe Guard quick!" Usagi called.

Gengar's fingertips on one or both of its hands glow purple and it jabs the opponent with it only for Clefable's body glows white and it forms a silver force field around its body, protecting it from attacks.

"Gangar use Shadow Ball!" Drake called.

"Use Moonblast!" Usagi cried.

While Clefable summons a moonlight from the moon, Gengar opens its mouth and forms a ball of black and purple energy with black static in front of it. It then fires the ball at the opponent before it makes contact, Clefable gathers energy from the moon. It then forms an orb of pink energy from its mouth and fires it at the opponent, countering the Shadow Ball and Gengar.

"Wow! What a move! Usagi's Clefable gathered energy from the Moon for Moonblast against Shadow Ball!" The announcer called

"Wow, good counter Usagi. But playtime is over." Drake said. "Now Gangar use Hypnosis!"

Gengar's eyes glow red. It holds out its hands and red orbs appear at the end of them. Gengar then brings the two orbs together to form one big red orb in front of it. Gengar then fires red beams from the orb at the opponent, putting Clefable to sleep. All hope seems lost for the Bunny, however she has something up her sleeve.

"Now Gangar Poison Jab one more time!" Drake called.

"I can't watch!" Chibiusa cried, covering her eyes.

"Clefable use Sleep Talk!" Usagi called.

Gengar's fingertips on one or both of its hands glow purple and is about to jab Clefable one more time. However while Clefable is asleep she jumps towards the opponent and cloaks it with a thick, white smoke surrounded by stars. It then repeatedly hits the opponent.

"Hey that was Play Rough, but how did Clefable do that in its sleep?" Unazuki asked.

"Well that's Sleep Talk." Ami explained. "Even though a Pokémon's asleep, it randomly uses one of its moves."

"Sleep talk?!" Drake gasped "We'll have to outsmart her! Gengar, use shadow ball again!"

"Use Disable before it can use Shadow Ball Clefable!" Usagi called, as Clefable woke up.

Clefable releases blue rings of energy from its body that make the opponent unable to move

"That Disable hit its mark before Gangar could use Shadow Ball." The announcer said.

"Gangar! Use Night Shade full blast!" Drake called.

"Clefable! Fairy Wind full power let's go!" Usagi called.

Clefable releases a wind with pink energy in it from its body at the opponent. While Gengar fires a black or dark crimson beam, outlined in red, blue, purple, or pink from its eyes or hands at the opponent.

"The power from these two super attacks is building up!" The announcer called, as both attacks built up before resulting in an explosion that covered the whole battle field.

"Clefable, no!" Usagi cried.

"My Gangar!" Drake called.

However the smoke cleared, and both Gengar and Clefable are out.

"Clefable!" Usagi cried.

"Gangar!" Drake called.

"Clefable and Gangar are both unable to battle!" The referee called, as both Gangar and Clefable's pictures turned black on the screen.

"What a shocker!" The announcer called. "Both Pokémon are out of this competition!"

"Clefable, you did a great job. Now take a good rest, ok?" Usagi asked

"Gangar return." Drake called, recalling Gangar. "Good work, you've earned yourself a good rest."

"Well Usagi might not have won that round but this is the first time, that the challengers have knocked out three of the Champion's Pokémon in a row." The announcer stated.

"Usagi, you've definitely proven yourself to be worthy of making it here to Pummelo Stadium." Drake said. "Your Clefable's moves really caught me off guard."

"Thank you, Drake. Clefairy was my starter when me and my friends started our Journey." Usagi thanked

"There will be a time out for the field change!" The referee called, as the battle field began to go down into the floor.

"That's right folks, in the Winner's Trophy Competition, whenever three of either Trainer's Pokémon are defeated the field is changed." The announcer called. "And now both Trainers will have to adapt and come up with new battling strategies."

Usagi and Drake then moved to their side stall for a quick break. Usagi sighed as she sat down next to Mamoru and Ash.

"Hey Ashy, Mamo, you think I really do deserve to be here?" Usagi asked. "I thought for sure Clefable could beat Gangar, guess I should've chosen one of my other Pokémon instead."

"You definitely deserve to be here." Ash said "Even if Clefable got knocked out, she gave it her all."

"Yeah Usako, you've gotten a lot stronger for sure." Mamoru said. "It was smart for you to teach Clefable, Sleep Talk."

"You're the only strategy I'll need to win." Drake said, looking at the Pokéball around his neck.

---

Meanwhile, in their tropical paradise Team Rocket were lounging around watching the Orange League on TV.

"Isn't that the twerp?" Jessie asked as he boobs bounce

"Yeah, and his pals are there too." James said. "They must be battling."

"Eh, let's not worry a thing about em." Meowth said

"Yeah you're right Meowth." Jessie said. "Besides we promised them we'd leave them alone for this and the next chapter. And if we break our promise, I'd rather not think what the twerp'll do to us."

---

Back on Pummelo Island Stadium the battlefield began to reappear and this time the field was covered in sand to make it look like a desert. Drake moved back into position while Usagi decided to try one more time.

"The new field's moving into place and the trainers are set for action, this time the opponents will be dueling on a sandy desert like battlefield." The announcer called, as Drake and Usagi walked up to the field as the bell rang. "There's the bell to start the second half of this full Six on Six Winner's Trophy battle! Drake the undefeated Orange League Champion has three Pokémon remaining."

"I choose you Venasaur!" Drake called, tossing his fourth PokéBall.

Then he tosses the PokeBall, and Venasaur materlized from the ball. Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal amphibian Pokémon with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish-pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a gynoecium in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping. Venusaur has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: Sunbathing Sleep, Sturdy Sleep, Vines-Out Sleep, and Atop-Belly Sleep. In the Pokémon the Series episode Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit grasslands.

"Drake has chosen Venasaur, who's won many battles here in the past." The announcer said.

"Venasaur's too strong for Ditto, and Clefable needs to rest." Usagi thought to herself, before making her choice. "Tauros! I choose you!"

Usagi tosses the PokeBall and Tauros materlized from the ball. Tauros is a quadrupedal, bovine Pokémon. It is covered in light brown fur with a thick, darker brown mane around the neck. It has a hump on its shoulders, a rounded muzzle with a dark brown nose, small, triangular eyes, three gray bumps running vertically down its forehead, and a pair of curved, gray horns growing from atop its head. Each of its three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot. Tauros is a male-only species.

Tauros is a violent, rowdy Pokémon that whips itself into a frenzy using its three tails. It serves as a warning to others that Tauros is about to charge with astonishing speed. Once it starts charging, it is unable to stop or change course until it hits something. Tauros are capable of smashing through large boulders when charging. It lives and travels in herds on plains and grasslands. It will lock horns with others of its kind, and the herd's protector takes pride in its battle-scarred horns.

While still ferocious, Tauros are calmer in Alola than elsewhere, likely due to the region's climate. It is believed that the practice of using Tauros as Ride Pokémon, which is done to this day, originated in Alola. In contrast, Tauros in Galar are more volatile and don't like to be ridden. Tauros is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Raging Bull.

"Usagi's using Tauros?" Rei asked. "Wouldn't a Fire, Flying or Bug Type Pokémon have been a better match?"

"Usagi's Tauros has a fire type move." Ash said

"Usagi chose Tauros after carefully considering all Drake's previous Pokémon." Setsuna said. "This will be Tauros' first official battle, so let's see what move she calls."

"The challenger Usagi has chosen to use a Tauros." The announcer called, as Tauros' picture appeared on the monitor. "The Wild Bull Pokémon looks like it's ready to rumble!"

"Venusaur, use vine whip!" Drake called

"Let's shake things up!" Usagi called. "Fissure!"

Several dark green vines come out from under the leaves on Venusaur's back and hit the opponent. Sometimes, it uses only two dark green vines while Tauros rattles the battlefield with his hooves, then uses one of his hooves to slice open the ground with a white energy beam.

"Tauros leads off with a frightening Fissure attack!" The announcer called. "But this time the Fissure fizzled out, the sandy surface sucked up the shock and Tsukino's got herself one stun steed."

"Venasaur, Solar Beam now." Drake called.

"Usagi, maybe you can stop it while it's still absorbing energy!" Lorelei suggested.

"Tauros! Use Take Down attack!" Usagi called.

While Venusaur gathers energy from the sun to charge up Solar Beam, only for Tauros to charges at the opponent at a very high speed and slams into them, causing Venusaur fall backwards.

"Now the whole stadium's shaking as Tauros charges straight for Venasaur!" The announcer called, as Tauros tried to push back, but Venasaur was too heavy and its hooves got no traction on the sand. "Tauros' hooves won't hold, the sand's got it stuck in its tracks."

Venasaur now had enough energy to use Solar Beam.

"Solar Beam, now!" Drake called.

"Tauros! Toss Venasaur into the air with Horn Attack!" Usagi cried.

Tauros then hits anf throws the opponent with its horns sending him flying, before Venusaur could even attack But in midair, Venasaur did a 180 turn while midair as The flower then opens and it releases a yellow beam of energy from it at the opponent. Sometimes, when the beam is ready, the whole flower glows white. It struck right behind Tauros.

"Tauros! Please be okay!" Usagi cried, to her relief Tauros was alright and fine.

"The attack hit Tauros, but he refuses to give in that easily! Looks Like Ash and his crew's Pokémon are really tough, like they say, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!" The announcer called

"Tauros is up again! It looks like that Solar Beam actually got Tauros unstuck from the sand."

"This isn't over yet." Drake said. "Venasaur use Rock Climb!"

Venusaur's claws glow white, then grow longer. It then runs quickly at the opponent and hits it with one of its claws, or slams into it with great force. It can also jump extremely high when using the attack, but Tauros refuses to give in. Tauros was hit hard, and crashed to the ground.

"Tauros! You've gotta try and get up!" Usagi encouraged, as Tauros got back up again. "Now use Take Down!"

"Two can play that game, Take Down as well Venasaur!" Drake called.

Both Pokémon charged at one another at full speed, and slammed eachother really hard

"Wow, it's a clash of heavy weights!" The announcer called.

"Perfect, now I got you right where I want you." Drake said.

"Actually Drake, it is I who's got you right where I want you." Usagi said. "I only told Tauros to you Take Down so we can get close to use our sneak attack. Tauros! Use Fire Blast!"

"Fire Blast!" Drake cried in shock.

Then Tauros takes in a deep breath and releases a powerful 大-shaped blast of orange fire or a stream of orange fire from its mouth at the opponent, and with that Venusaur is down

"Tauros unleashes a powerful Fire Blast right in Venasaur's face, and super effective the Fire Blast attack hits home and Venasaur goes flying!" The announcer called, as Venasaur is knocked out as the referee called.

"Venasaur is unable to battle, Tauros is the winner!"

"We did it! Great Job, Tauros! You did awesome out there!" Usagi cheered

"You heard it fans!" The announcer called, as Venasaur's picture went black, meaning Venasaur was eliminated from the battle. "The challengers have now defeated four of the Champion's six Pokémon!"

"Only 2 left!" Unazuki said

"Venasaur return." Drake called. "You put up a fine battle Venasaur, and now I choose Electabuzz!" Drake tossed his fifth Pokéball.

Then Electabuzz Materlized from the ball, Electabuzz is a slightly humanoid Pokémon with a few feline traits. It has antennae with bulbous tips where its ears should be, two long tufts of fur on top of its head, small eyes, and two large fangs in its upper jaw. It is covered in yellow fur with many black stripes. There is a large, lightning bolt-shaped stripe on Electabuzz's chest, a V-shaped stripe on its forehead, one stripe on its side, a thick stripe down its back, two bands on each leg, several broken bands on each arm, and many rings around its long tail. There are three clawed toes on each of its feet, two in front and one in back, and five fingers on each hand.

In the dark, Electabuzz will glow light blue from the electrical charges running across its body. It is constantly leaking more electricity than it consumes. Bearing near an Electabuzz will cause a human's hair to stand on end. Electabuzz often gathered groups around tall trees to wait for the upcoming storm. During torrential thunderstorms, Electabuzz will compete to find locations likely to be struck by lightning to absorb the electric power. Electabuzz is often used as an alternative to lightning rods because it is unharmed by the absorption of electricity. It is also capable of entirely nonverbal communication via electrical currents when near another of its species. Blackouts have been known to happen when groups of Electabuzz gather to consume electricity from power plants, they often get blamed for the occurring power outages. As a result, Ground-type Pokémon are kept around power plants to keep Electabuzz from raiding, although the blackouts are usually the fault of the electric companies, not Electabuzz. There is ongoing research on using Electabuzz to store away lightning until it is needed to be used later.

As demonstrated in the Pokémon the Series episode Showdown at Dark City, Electabuzz is sent into a rage by the color red. In battle, Electabuzz windmills its arms, apparently to add momentum to its punches. This method of battle seems ineffective, as opponents can escape in the meantime. Electabuzz typically resides near power plants and can cause blackouts in cities, though it can also be found in grasslands.

"The atmosphere is charged, as Electabuzz, Drake's fifth Pokémon prepares to take on Tauros, but we'll have to wait and see if the challenger decides to switch out with one of her partners." The announcer called.

"It looks like Tauros is pretty worn out." Tomoko said. "Usagi better switch with Ami."

"Okay, Ami, let's switch out!" Usagi said, recalling her Tauros and holding her hand out for Ami.

"Ok, Usagi!" Ami said as she tags her hand lightly

"The challengers are switching teammates." The announcer called.

Ami then looked at Electabuzz, thinking. "I've gotta go with somebody fresh." Ami then made her choice. "I choose you! Weepinbel!"

She tosses the Ball and Weepinbell materlized from it. Weepinbell is a pitcher plant Pokémon with a yellow, bell-shaped body. Above Weepinbell's circular eyes are three small green spots and a small, brown hook-shaped stem. It has wide, gaping mouth with pink lips. On each side of its body is a large, green leaf.

Weepinbell camouflages itself as a plant in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near it sprays poison powder to immobilize the target before melting it with its internal acids. It oozes a neutralizing fluid that prevents these internal acids from melting its own body. It will also slice its prey too large to consume into pieces with its razor-sharp leaves. Weepinbell live in temperate forests and jungles where it hangs from tree branches by its stem to sleep. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Weepinbell is known to sometimes sleep undisturbed, even after falling down to the ground

"Great thinking Ami! Grass Types can mow down Electric Types in competition!" Melody said. "She should have a lock on this one."

"I don't know Melody, don't forget you have to take Level into account too, not just Type advantage." Michiru said.

"Ami can handle anything that comes her way!" Minako said.

"Damn right!" Ash agreed

"Use Thundershock now!" Drake called.

"Weepinbell, use Sleep Powder!" Ami called

Then Weeepinbell opens the large leaf on its head and a blue, shining powder is released from its mouth, putting the opponent to sleep, before he could charge his attack The Thundershock hit Weepinbell but it was able to shake it off.

"Weepinbell shakes off the shock." The announcer called. "Ami's strategy is working perfectly."

"Good job Weepinbell." Ami smiled, but to Ami's surprise Electabuzz woke up instantly

"No way! How did he wake up!?" Rei demanded "Hopefully Ami can use Poison Powder."

"That was clever of you Drake." Ami said. "You used Thundershock on Electabuzz to wake him up from Weepinbell's Sleep Powder, didn't you?"

"Guilty as charged." Drake said, with a knowing chuckle. "Nothing gets past you does it."

"Ok, now let's continue shall we?" Ami asked nicely

"Ladies first, I insist." Drake said.

"Razor Leaf now!" Ami called.

"Use Thunder to deflect the leaves!" Drake called

Weepinbell releases multiple green-glowing leaves from the two large leaves on the sides of its body at the opponent. Only for Electabuzz fires multiple bolts of yellow electricity from its body at the opponent.

"Weepinbell, Tackle now!" Ami called.

"Electabuzz, stand your ground!" Drake called.

Weepinbell charges at the opponent and tackles it.

"Now we got her." Drake smirked, before Ami realised she had been set up.

"Weepinbell get out of there!" Ami cried.

"Now use Fire Punch!" Drake called.

Electabuzz's fists becomes surrounded in orange-yellow fire, and it uppercuts the opponent. When Electabuzz strikes, the opponent's body becomes surrounded in red-yellow flames for a moment.

Weepinbell fell to the ground, and was knocked out, meaning Weepinbell was eliminated as the referee called.

"Weepinbell is unable to battle, Electabuzz is the winner."

"Oh no! Weepinbell! Are you ok!?" Ami cried

On the monitor, Weepinbell's picture went black, meaning Weepinbell was eliminated from the battle.

"Electabuzz, short circuits the bud." The announcer called. "This high Level Electric Type's defeat of a Grass Type has this crowd buzzing!"

"Electabuzz, short circuits the bud." The announcer called. "This high Level Electric Type's defeat of a Grass Type has this crowd buzzing!"

"I thought Ami had this in the bag." Makoto said. "Drake's Electabuzz must be at a really high level to be able to beat a Grass

Type."

Ash who has been silent about it, finally spoke up "Ami, tag me in. I'll avenge you." Ash said.

"Ok, Ashy, make your lovely bookworm proud." She replied

"Now the heat is on for the challengers as Ami Mizuno switches with Ash Ketchum." The

announcer called. "Which Pokémon will he choose to take on Drake's Electabuzz?"

"I choose you Charizard!" Ash called.

Then Ash tosses the Ball and his lucky Shiny

Charizard materialized from the Ball Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily Black with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two hornlike structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. Two fangs are visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with red undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. In Pokémon Red and Green, Charizard is seemingly shown holding a fireball, implying that it's capable of manipulating its flames using its hands; this is seen in media where it uses Fire Punch. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its plantigrade feet. The tip of its long, feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated. Charizard typically inhabits mountains and valleys, such as the Charicific Valley in Johto. However, Charizard can also live in volcanoes, forming packs with other members of its family, including Charmander. In Pokémon Snap, it's shown that Charizard are fully capable of living inside lava within volcanic craters.

"A wise choice, as Ash selects Charizard, the only Shiny Pokémon we've seen in this competition!" The announcer called.

"I just hope that Charizard's at a high enough Level to beat Electabuzz." Ash thought to himself. "Flamethrower!"

"Electabuzz, use Protect!" Drake called.

Charizard releases a red- orange stream of fire from its mouth at the opponent, while Electabuzz's body glew green protecting him from attacks like a Shield protecting a guy from Fire in mid evil times.

"Now use Thunder Punch!" Drake called.

"Dragon Claw!" Ash called.

Electabuzz's fist glows yellow or white and sparks of electricity surround its arm or antennae. It then punches, then Shiny Charizard's claws grow bigger and glow orange. It then strikes the opponent with them clashing, and then clashing again and again. Electabuzz then dodged the Dragon Claw and made contact with Charizard using Thunder Punch. "Electabuzz connects first with a devastating Thunder Punch!" The announcer said. "Charizard is cooling off quick as the Champion grabs the early lead. But Charizard is hanging in there."

"Dragon claw once more!" Ash called

"Electabuzz, Iron Tail now!" Drake called.

Ash's Shiny Charizard claws grow bigger and glow orange. It then strikes the opponent with them Half of Electabuzz's tail glows white and Electabuzz hits the opponent with it once again clashing. Until Charizard grabs Electabuzz's tail

"Oh no you don't, counter it with Flamethrower!" Ash called

"Electabuzz, Thunder Fang!" Drake called.

Charizard releases a red-orange stream of fire from its mouth at the opponent. While Electabuzz fangs glow light blue and spark with light blue electricity. It then bites down on the opponent, while Electabuzz flips Charizard the Pidgey Charizard took damage from both the Thunder and Thunder Fang.

"Ketchum, better come up with something fast, or I hope he likes his Charizard extra crispy!" The announcer called.

"Charizard, use Fire Spin to clear the electricity away!" Ash called.

First Charizard clears the Electricity then Charizard opens its mouth and a flame is shot at the opponent from its mouth. The flame twists around the opponent, trapping it.

"A scorching response from Charizard, who grounds Electaabuzz with a searing counterattack!" The announcer called.

"This one's Level is higher than I thought." Drake thought to himself.

"Now Charizard! Fly!" Ash called. "Use Flaming Seismic Toss!"

"Flaming Seismic Toss?" Drake asked. "What's that?!"

Charizard flaps his wings and took off in the sky, while holding onto Eletcabuzz, then Charizard, flies into the sky, spins around, with a aura of flame surrounding him, zooms back down, and tosses the opponent into the ground for more damage, using the momentum of the dive.

"Charizard stopped its opponent from launching any counterattacks and now Charizard's got Electabuzz in a flaming clinch, winding up for a super flaming Seismic Toss!" The announcer called, as Charizard came back down and tossed Electabuzz to the ground.

When the dust cleared, Electabuzz was knocked out, meaning Electabuzz was eliminated as the referee called.

"Electabuzz is unable to battle, Charizard is the winner!"

"We did it! Charizard, I knew you can do it!" Ash cheered

"Pi Pikachu!"

"A shocking turn around folks, as Charizard combineds both offensive and defensive skills to toss Drake's Electabuzz right out of this match!" The announcer called.

"Oh, Ashy-Chan! I knew you can do this!" Ami cheered

"Electabuzz return." Drake called, recalling Electabuzz. "Good work Electabuzz, you take a good rest."

On the monitor Electabuzz' picture went black, meaning Electabuzz was eliminated from the battle.

"Now Challengers Ash Ketchum, Ami Mizuno and Usagi Tsukino are only one victory away from that Winner's Trophy." The announcer called. "But as we've seen him do before, Drake has saved the best for last."

Drake then took the PokéBall that was around his neck off, and Ash knew what was coming.

"Get ready." Ash said.

"My last hope." Drake said, before tossing his final Pokéball. "I choose you!"

Dragonite then materlized from the ball. Dragonite is a draconic, bipedal reptilianPokémon with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly. This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas. Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in Great Bowls of Fire!, however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with Kingdra whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. Drayden stated in Thrash of the Titans! that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In Fiore, Dragonite used by Pokémon Rangers to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the Dragonite Bus. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically living near the sea. In fact, An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS categorises the Dragonite family alongside Legendary Pokémon. Some claim that there is an islandsomewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit. In Generation II, Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémoncapable of learning the move Outrage, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

"I was afraid of this." Ash said.

"Drake's last Pokémon, the Legendary Dragonite!" The announcer called. "If Dragonite goes down, this battle's over!"

"You might be my last Pokémon Dragonite, but with you the battle's just beginning." Drake thought to himself as Dragonite was ready.

"Dragonite's gonna be the toughest one yet!" Lorelei said.

"I know, I faced off against a Dragonite before at the Elite Four. And I even own one." Ash said as he prepares to call back Charizard "Charizard Return!"

However Charizard pushes his Pokeball back to Ash and shook his head no.

"Ashy, I think Charizard wants to keep going!" Minako called.

"He still wants to battle?!" Rei gasped "Dragonite looks like he wants to Battle Charizard and no other Pokémon!"

"Charizard, are you sure?" Ash asked.

Charizard nodded yes, then the shiny Pokémon cracks his knuckles, Dragonite and Charizard gave eachother threatening stares.

"Okay, you've got yourself a deal." Ash said.

"The challenger is sticking with Charizard." The announcer called.

"it looks like we can't stop them!" Drake said "Dragonite, use mega punch!"

"Charizard, mega punch too!" Ash called

Both Charizard and Dragonite's fists glow bright red and they punch one another on the face hard.

"Let's bring it to them Charizard! Flamethrower!" Ash called.

"Dragonite Hydro Pump now!" Drake called.

Dragonite blasts a powerful jet of water out of its mouth at the opponent only for Charizard to blast a huge powerful stream of fire from his mouth colliding the attack. After a struggle, it exploded then burst then the two Pokémon charge at one another and it is a collage of punches and kicks from the two Pokémon.

The Hydro Pump cut through the Flamethrower and struck Charizard.

"Dragonite not only douses Charizard's attack, but it might also be dampening the challengers hopes for the Winner's Trophy!" The announcer called.

"Quick Charizard! Time to fly!" Ash called.

"Dragonite! Use Ice Beam now!" Drake called.

"Charizard dodges Dragonite's Ice Beam with an impressive show of air form!" The announcer called.

"After it Dragonite!" Drake called.

Dragonite flaps his wings and sours through the air after Shiny Charizard

Charizard and Dragonite exchanged blow after blow, until Dragonite launched Ice Beam forcing Charizard to go into a dizzying dive.

"Charizard's gone into a dizzying dive to avoid Dragonite's relentless attacks!" The announcer called, as Dragonite got close.

"Charizard, lookout!" Ash called, as Charizard then slammed Dragonite in the stomach head first. "Okay, now give it your best Seismic Toss!"

"Charizard's moving in on Dragonite!" The announcer said, but before Charizard could grab Dragonite, the Dragon Pokémon grabbed its neck and wouldn't let go.

"Dragonite, use your Slam attack now!" Drake called.

Charizard grabs the opponent, flies into the sky, spins around, zooms back down, and tosses the opponent into the ground for more damage, using the momentum of the dive, while Dragonite grabs the opponent and slams it into the ground at the same time.

"And Dragonite delivers a ground shaking grand Slam attack!" The announcer called.

"Charizard no!" Ash called.

But Charizard got back up again, determined not to be beaten but was now showing signs of tiring.

"Fans this is incredible! Charizard is back on its feet, despite the fact that it's been on the receiving end of Dragonite's relentless attacks, this Pokémon simply refuses to give up!" The announcer called.

"We've gotta do something to end this fast!" Ash said. "Finish it off with Dragon Rage!"

"Fight fire with fire Dragonite! Use Dragon Rage too!" Drake called.

Both Charizard and Dragonite releases balls of orange or light purple energy from its mouth at eachother, Both attacks hit the opponent, and caused smoke to form, and forced everyone to shield their eyes, after it cleared, both Charizard and Dragonite were still standing but showed signs of wearing out.

"Both Dragon Rage attacks hit home and both Pokémon appear to be shaken!" The announcer called, as both Charizard and Dragonite were panting. "The match could be over at any moment."

Ash thought Charizard had won, but to his shock Charizard roared in pain before it fell to the floor and didn't get back up this time. Meaning Charizard was eliminated as the referee called.

"Charizard is unable to battle, Dragonite is the winner!"

"Charizard, are you ok?" Ash asked "Here take a good rest. You worked Really hard out there."

"Charizard is down and out!" The announcer called. "That Dragon Rage drained both Pokémon but Dragonite manages to hold on!"

Ami and the others were shocked that Charizard was defeated.

"Pikachu, I guess this one is up to you." Ash said

"Ashy! Wait!" Ami called. "Tag me in! Dragonite might be more powerful! But Charizard wore it down, let me and Usagi help! We're gonna have to work together as a team to win this one!"

"Ok, Ami show him who's boss." Ash said as he helped her up and she kisses his cheek

"Ash Ketchum is switching with Ami Mizuno!" The announcer called.

"Now Poliwhirl! I choose you!" Ami called, tossing her Pokéball.and Poliwhirl then materlized from the Ball

"Looks like the Blur haired girl genius chose Poliwhirl!" the annoucer called

"All right Poliwhirl use Hydro Pump!" Ami called.

Ami's Poliwhirl releases a powerful blast of water from its mouth at the opponent.

"Dragonite, use your Water Gun!" Drake called.

Dragonite also releases a spiral of water from its mouth at the opponent

"Dragonite attacks Poliwhirl with a bullseye blast!" The announcer called. "Maybe Poliwhirl's earlier encounter with Onix weakened the Water Pokémon."

"Use your Thunderbolt attack quick!" Drake called without giving Ami a chance to give Poliwhirl another command

Dragonite charges electricity in its antennae, then releases a beam of yellow electricity at the opponent from them.

"This could be sayonara for Poliwhirl!" The announcer called. "As Dragonite's electric attack sends its body sizzling!"

"This can't be." Ami gasped. But Poliwhirl managed to hang on and got back up again.

"Poliwhirl still game and, folks, this is one tough tadpole type!" announcer called

"Great Job, Pilowhirl!" Ami cheered "Show Dragonite that Size doesn't matter."

"I might make you eat those words. Dragonite, use body slam!" Drake called

"Poliwhirl, use Surf!" Ami called

Dragonite flies into the air and slams its body into the opponent While Poliwhirl creates a big wave, which it rides until the wave crashes into the opponent, then with that, Dragonite is weakened a bit more, while Poliwhirl falls on his back.

"Poliwhirl is unable to battle, Dragonite is the winner." The announcer called

On the monitor Poliwhirl's picture went black, meaning Poliwhirl was eliminated from the battle.

"Poliwhirl, are you ok?" Ami asked "Here, you deserve a Good rest."

"Ami's Managed to weakened Dragonite even more at least." Rei said

"Now the challengers Ash Ketchum and Usagi Tsukino each have one Pokémon left and this match should be." The announcer said, before seeing something in the sky. "Wait, what's that up there?"

"Gah-thump!" A voice from above cried

Who showed up on the monitor on the blimp is a mysterious girl who has long sandy-brown hair with teal eyes and bright pink bow on top of her head with skull in the center along with red lining and white frills on the end. She wears a matching bright pink lolita-style dress accompanied with numerous white frills in layers and a red bow in the center with yet another skull. On her legs are light pink stockings with bright pink ankle high boots with red ribbons in the center.

"Who's that?" Ash demanded

"I don't know." Ami said.

"Hello everyone!" The girl introduced "This is the Abnes Channel brining to you live in front of the Orange League! and here to save the Children of the word!"

"Is this girl crazy or something?" Artemis asked. "I mean not even Mina would do something as stupid as interrupting a match."

"I'm standing right here!" Minako glared

"Meow." Artemis said, nervously.

"As you can see we have one young man and the girls competing in the competition, tsk tsk." Abnes said

"How dare you interrupt this competition!" Drake glared angrily.

"Who are you?" Ash asked

"Don't act like you don't know me!" Abnes said

"Um, we don't." Usagi said. "If we did know who you were, we wouldn't be asking you know."

"I fight for the children of the world!" She said as she was lowered down by the blimp and approached Ash, Ami and Usagi "I'm the star of the hit internet Series called "The Abnes Channel" everyone knows me!"

"Hey! She shounds like me and Ashy's Pikachu!" Usagi cried breaking the forth wall

"Bad timing Usagi, please don't break the fourth wall." Ash said

"Well we've never heard of you." Makoto said. "Now would you get out of here already! You're holding up the battle!"

"Uh, Uh, uh, first we gotta get an interview of this young man, Ash Ketchum." Abnes said "Hello Gamindustri! A place where these people don't know about, it's your Best friend Abnes here to give you an interview!"

"She's not gonna listen to us." Mamoru said. "We need to think of something or we're gonna be here until tomorrow."

"We'll do an interview later, Abnes." Ash reasoned "Please go wait by the bleachers your holding up the-"

"Mmm…. You're here with the little girls doing a battle." Abnes cut him off "Little girls should be staying home playing games!"

"Little girls?" Rei growled, looking like she was about to burst into rage, resulting in Makoto holding her back. "That little *Dolphin chirps* Let me at her! Let me at her!"

"Woah, hold up, Rei." Makoto halted "and watch your language."

"Please miss Abnes." Ami said. "Wait behind the bleachers until the match has-"

"It's dangerous for kids." Usagi said. "So we'll interview you but only after-"

"Look who's talking!" Minako cried "Are we being called little girls by a girl littler than us?"

"Did…. DID YOU JUST CALL ME A LITTLE GIRL!?" Abnes gasped and yelled as she saw her crew being pushed away "Leave my crew alone! Leave me Blimp alone! Fine! I'll let you get back to your battle! But I'm gonna be a second announcer!"

She stormed out of the stadium while Abnes cried out just like, well a little girl.

"Yikes! What's that about? Well at least it's not you-know-who." Ash said

"I almost feel sorry for her." Tracey said.

"Almost but not quite." Rei said.

"We apologize for the interruption from Abnes, we'll get back to her later. But now, Will Ami choose Ash or Usagi to battle?!" The annoucer asked

"Ami, tag me in!" Usagi cried. "We'll save Ashy for last, I'll weaken Dragonite just a little more."

"Ok, Usagi! Do your best." Ami said

"Tauros! I choose you!" Usagi called then She tosses the ball and Tauros materlized from the Pokeball, ready to battle Dragonite.

"Usagi brings back Tauros, but we'll have to wait and see if it's recovered from that brutial battle with Venasaur!" The announcer stated.

"Tauros, I know you're tired, but we really need you now." Usagi said. "Use Take Down!"

"Dragonite fly! And use Body Slam!" Drake called.

Tauros charges at the opponent at a very high speed and slams into it. Sometimes, Tauros becomes surrounded by orange streaks of energy as the move is used. After attacking, Tauros suffers from recoil damage. Dragonite flies into the air and slams its body into the opponent

"Oh!" The announcer flinched. "Tauros takes a direct hit and I don't see how it'll survive this one folks!"

But when the dust cleared, Tauros was just fine and now was pushing back. Drake was surprised and so were the others as Usagi smirked.

"I figured that sand would act like a cushion and help Tauros absorb that Body Slam!" Usagi said, the clear smugness in her voice could be heard clearly.

"Hey, She's been studying the Pokemon Battles before she goes to it." Minako said

"Wow, Usagi really knows what she's doing out there." Diana said.

"Yeah, she's using her head." Luna said.

"The challenger's strategy works and now Dragonite's hooked on those horns!" The announcer stated.

"Tauros, send it sailing!" Usagi called. "With a Horn Attack!"

Tauros charges at the opponent and strikes it with its horn, and Tauros throws Dragonite off its head and to the ground

"Dragonite's down but it's far from out!" The announcer said, as Dragonite still refused to go down.

"Dragonite! Thunder attack now!" Drake called, so fast Usagi didn't have time to give a counter command.

Dragonite charges electricity in its antennae and fires a beam of yellow electricity from its body at the opponent Tauros then fell to the ground and didn't get up, meaning that Tauros was eliminated as the referee called.

"Tauros is unable to battle, Dragonite is the winner!"

"Oh no! Tauros!" Usagi cried

"Tauros was prying for victory but even its stubborn brand of battling wasn't good enough to make the great!" The announcer called, as Tauros' picture went black meaning Tauros was eliminated from the battle. "Dragonite's taken out three of the challengers Pokémon and now both trainers are down to their last Pokémon!"

"Hey, he's almost down! Good work, Usagi!" Ash called as he held out his hand

"Ashy, I did my best." Usagi said. "Sorry I couldn't do more."

"I'm proud of you Usagi, you and Ami did great out there." Ash said, as Pikachu's cheeks sparked with determination. "I guess it's up to both you and me now Pikachu."

"Judging by his determination, he's got this in the bag." Makoto said

"Go for it Pikachu!" Chibiusa cheered

"The challenger's final Pokémon is Pikachu! Has it recharged its batteries after that battle with Ditto, or is it running too low on power to defeat Dragonite? By the looks of it, after taking a very good rest. He is ready and at em!"

"Let's do it Pikachu!" Ash called. "Pikachu, Agility!"

"Dragonite let's go!" Drake called. "Stop Pikachu with a Dragon Tail attack!"

Dragonite's tail becomes covered in a green, scale-patterned aura. It tried to hit Pikachu, only for Pikachu starts to run forward on all fours, leaping from side to side. Other times, Pikachu appears to repeatedly vanish and immediately reappears in different spots while running. The opponent may become confused, he tried to hit Pikachu with Dragon Tail only for it to become a silly Whack a Mole with Pikachu being too fast for Dragonite and Dragonite hitting his tail down again and again

"Uh Oh, Dragonite's Getting confused!" Announcer called "Pikachu's Too fast for him."

"Pikachu! I know you can do it!" Ash called.

"Hyper Beam!" Drake called, without giving Ash time to counter.

Drake calls for Dragonite's most powerful attack!" The announcer called, as Dragonite fired. "Does Pikachu have the energy to escape Hyper Beam?"

But Pikachu had something up his sleeve, or rather up his Tail, as the attack struck and Ash and the others feared the worst.

"PIKACHU!" Ash and the girls cried.

A white or orange ball of energy forms in front of Dragonite's mouth and then fires a beam of energy from the ball at Pikachu only for Pikachu to bounce really high with his tail. Pikachu is up in the air, dodging the attack

"Pikachu!" Ash cried, relieved.

"What the!" Drake cried, shocked.

"Unbelievable! Pikachu used its tail as a springboard to escape the Hyper Beam! Pikachu bounces back, but Dragonite doesn't look very bouncy!" The annouced called

Pikachu then flew down and grabbed Dragonite's antennas and held on. Dragonite tried to shake him off but Pikachu refused to let go.

"Try as it might the exhausted Dragonite, can't shake Pikachu!" The announcer called. "Pikachu's holding on for all its worth!"

"Pikachu, can't hold on any longer!" Makoto cried.

"Ash has to act fast." Tracey said.

"Pikachu! Thunder full power!" Ash called.

Pikachu fires multiple bolts of yellow electricity into the sky. The bolts then combine and form a swirling mass of yellow electricity that fires several bolts of electricity at the opponent, The attack hits and lights up the stadium After another minute, the attack stopped and Dragonite tossed Pikachu off, Pikachu fell to the ground but Dragonite roared in pain, as then both Pokémon stared each other down, panting heavily as everyone waited to see who would fall first. After what felt like an eternity, Dragonite then fell to the ground and didn't get up, meaning Dragonite was knocked out as the referee called.

"Dragonite is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner!" The referee called. "The winners of this competition is Ash Ketchum, Ami Mizuno and Usagi Tsukino!"

---

After Ami, Usagi and Ash won against Drake first, our heroes one by one by each Team took on against the champion, with their strong teams, taging up more and more, they gave it their all, and they all defeated Drake's Pokémon even his Dragonite. After the battle, Ash, the Girls, the men the moon cats and their Pokémon were standing in the winner circle holding the Winner's Trophy. The Winner's Trophy is awarded only to Pokémon Trainers skilled enough to defeat the Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader in a Full Battle in addition to gathering the four Gym Badges from the Gym Leaders of the Orange Crew after the completion of several different tasks. Trainers who earn the Winner's Trophy are honored in the Palace of Victory forever as Honored Trainers* of the Orange League.

The modern version of the Winner's Trophy is a gold trophy consisting of a conical base, an upside-down elongated tetrahedron made of metal sticks, and a silver-winged golden depiction of a Master Ball.

"The challengers win the match! The challengers win the match!" The announcer called, as Ash, Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru, Naru, Duplica, Jeanette, May, Unazuki, Verity, Sorrel, Mamoru and Tomoko's pictures appeared on screen with all their Pokémon with big red letters saying 'WINNERS' next to their pictures.

While all of this is going on, the Makai Tree, Ail, Ann and Fiore then watched Our heroes win the Pokémon League Championship in the Oranges, and then the Makai tree is growing more and more impatient by the moment and it shook violently. Then giant roots shot from the tree and on the stadium from all directions.

"Hey what's that!"

"What's happening!"

"Are those roots!"

"Mommy! I'm scared!"

"Let's run!"

They grabbed the audience and their Pokémon, draining them from all their energy till they fell unconscious, even Drake too.

"I want more energy!!" The demonic voice from the makai tree shouted

"What is this!" Drake cried, before he fainted.

"What was that?" Ash gasped.

"Oh no…. It's the Makai Tree, it's growing impatient and is running amok again!" Ami gasped

"Not again!" Luna cried. "If it's here then that means, Ail and Ann are nearby!"

Then suddenly, one of the giant roots grabbed Mamoru and his Machamp and dragged him away, only for Ash take a hold of Mamoru's hands and the others grabbing Ash and tried to pull Mamoru back to them.

"MAMO!" Usagi cried.

"Mamoru!" Ash called.

"Ash, Usako! They got me and Machamp!" Mamoru cried

"Damn it! This is like the weird dream I had when my brain is literally being flown out of my head like a Car engine!" Ash cried "Hand on, Mamoru!"

"The roots are growing out of control!" Haruka said.

"We've gotta stop them!" Michiru cried.

"Oh crap! Looks like a mysterious tree is going out of control in one Island in the Sevii Islands, Mt. Ember is now Mt. Tree! Everyone evacuate the stadium immediately!" The announcer called

Then the roots dragged Mamoru and Machamp back to the Makai Tree, leaving our heroes determined more than ever to save the world. So without any argument, our heroes all rushed out of the stadium and set sail to One Island.

---

A hour later, they all reached One Island and the tower of Mt. Ember, which is now covered with vines, roots and plants of the Makai tree and our heroes looked up and saw that it grew a bit more bigger. Usagi and Chibiusa took a breath and held up their transformation brooches, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru and Naru held up their transformation pens and Erika and Misty held up their transformation bracelets.

She elegantly stretches out her arms, and pink ribbons cover them, forming into her gloves. She then raised her right foot high with incredible flexibility, and pink ribbons cloak it changing into her boots. The heart made of blue light then turns into a circle of sparkles swirling around her waist, forming her skirt and bow.
