Round 3 Part 2
"WELCOME ALL TO THE NEXT DAY OF THE POKEMON LEAGUE TOURNAMENT'S THIRD ROUND!! THIS BATTLE IS BETWEEN STRATOS AND DRAKE BY FAR TWO OF THE POWERHOUSES OF THIS TOURNAMENT!! I CAN PERSONALLY GUARENTEE THAT THIS WILL BE A SPECTACULAR BATTLE!!" The crowd bursts into applause and all eyes turn to the two trainers on the field. Stratos is looking down as if mentally preparing himself and Drake has a smile on his face with one hand in his pocket and the other resting at his side with a pokeball in it. Latias floats next to Stratos looking back and forth between the two.
There is a long silence between the three before a whistle pierces Stratos' ears and they twitch as he looks up at Drake who has two fingers near his mouth, "You okay Stratos?" The Lucario nods in response,
"Yeah... it just feels a little weird to be fighting my Dad." Drake chuckles as the pokeball in his hand enlarges,
"Stratos, there's nothing for you to be worried about. Think about it this way: This battle is for you to show me how much you've improved." A smile spreads across the Lucario's face as he nods taking a pokeball from his own belt and adjusting his hat,
"Thanks. I feel better now." Latias can't help but giggle as she listens to the exchange of words between the two,
"Oh Drake, you always know just what to say." Stratos threw his pokeball releasing Swampert onto the field and Drake nods to her flexing his wrist,
"Hold nothing back Stratos, Latias, Swampert. I promise I'll give you a true test of your power." Drake threw his pokeball releasing Suicune to the field, "Now let's go!"
Swampert lunges forward punching the ground creating a huge earthquake that shakes the foundation of the battlefield. Swampert's eyes lock onto Suicune as she leaps into the air taking in a deep breath of air releasing a powerful ice beam. Swampert leaps out of the way but fails to avoid the thin beam of ice and watches as her arm is frozen to the ground. Suicune lands on the ground and lunges forward slamming full force into Swampert making her fall over backwards and making the ice shatter. Swampert throws her leg into the legend's stomach making Suicune gag and jump backwards growling at her.
Swampert slams her fist into the ground again and grins when Suicune jumps up to dodge again. Swampert bends her knees and leaps upward towards Suicune releasing a powerful pillar of water with Hydro Pump. Suicune counters with ice beam freezing the pillar but Swampert stops the water letting the pillar sit in the air before they both begin their descent back to the field. Swampert blasts a Hydro Pump above herself propelling herself back down to the field first and she catches the giant pillar in her hands. She swings the pillar behind herself and Suicune's eyes go wide when Swampert begins swinging the pillar. Suicune screeches as she gets slammed in the side and flies into the wall of the arena falling unconscious.
Drake claps his hands and smiles returning Suicune to her pokeball, "Very well done Swampert." Drake tosses his second pokeball releasing his Blaziken to the field. The Pokemon's wrists flare up as he grins looking across at Swampert and he throws his palm towards the sky making the sun's rays intensify covering the field in the blinding sunlight. Swampert unleashes a torrent of water towards Blaziken who simply grins slapping the water to the side and his palms begin to radiate with green energy. He puts them together a moment later as Swampert releases a glowing pillar of water. The sunlight intensifies the Solarbeam's power while weakening the power of the Hydro Cannon and the water vaporizes when it comes in contact with the beam of energy and Swampert is blasted backwards, her body pulsing with the energy as she passes out. Blaziken rolls his wrists and folds his arms waiting patiently for Stratos' next Pokemon.
Stratos returns Swampert to her ball and puts it back on his belt grinning as he looks at Latias, "You're up Mom." Latias grins as she nods and flies out onto the battlefield. She suddenly unleashes powerful bursts of psychic energy at Blaziken. The bird ducks and rolls closing in on Latias quickly and a few moments of dodging later Blaziken leaps into the air bursting towards Latias blasting through a wave of psychic and slamming into Latias slamming her into the ground and jumping back infecting her with toxic before he throws his arms out to the side and unleashes overheat in a vicious onslaught of attacks.
Latias rises from the ground looking fairly worn down as she forms Mist Balls in her hands and throws them at the weakened bird Pokemon. He dodges one but takes the other to the torso getting blasted over backwards. Blaziken rushes forward glaring at Latias taking blast after blast of Psychics and Mist Balls. Blaziken gets within inches of Latias with his claws outstretched before he falls forward. Latias twitches and falls next to him from the poison in her body.
Moments later Latias is removed from the field and Stratos walks forward with a smile on his face, "One left on either side." Drake nods as he takes his last pokeball from his belt,
"True. And only one of my Pokemon can counter your power." Drake tosses his last pokeball and his Pichu appears on the field. Stratos grins as he looks at the little yellow Pokemon,
"Aww, he's so--" Stratos gags as a Dynamicpunch is thrown into his stomach blasting him across the field. Stratos caughs as he sits up and gets back to his feet, "What the heck was that?!" Drake chuckles in response,
"Oh that's right. None of you have seen him fight yet. You're going to have your work cut out for ya." Stratos begins burning with fire as he grins,
"Alrighty then." Stratos runs forward and punches the ground shattering the earth beneath them and magma begins pooling around them. Drake folds his arms watching the fight from his square,
(If I just knew what type he was I'd be able to beat him...) Stratos suddenly grabs Pichu in Crush Grip and throws him up into the air throwing a Sacred Fire Aura Sphere up at him but goes wide-eyed when Pichu begins spinning and pulsing with electricity and when the attack collides with him it disappears into nothingness. Pichu lands back on the field rushes Stratos sweeping him off his feet with Low kick finishing off with a downward punch but Stratos counters by slamming his foot into Pichu kicking him into the air. He throws his arms upward causing dark energy to surround Pichu. His paws begin to pulse and he throws them forward mixing Sacred Fire and Aeroblast and the two attacks collide with Pichu making a huge explosion in the sky. Stratos begins moving his arms in wave-like circles and the magma begins to form together and rise before it all suddenly explodes upwards in a tornado.
Minutes pass before Pichu hits the ground and all of the attacks subside. Stratos lets out a few tired breaths and Drake smiles as he returns Pichu to his ball,
"Congratulations Stratos, you've beaten me and advanced to an even higher level then even I have." Drake finishes his sentence with a bow and the announcer's voice booms through the stadium,
"THE BATTLE IS OVER!! THE WINNER IS STRATOS THE LUCARIO HOWEVER DRAKE WILL BE RECEIVING AN ULTIMA BADGE FOR MAKING IT THIS FAR IN THE TOURNAMENT!!!" Drake blinks and shrugs,
"That works." Drake and Stratos exchange a nod and a smile before they turn away and Stratos, Latias and Drake leave the arena.
Onym stands on the field with Molly by his side looking across at his opponent, a girl with long brown hair mostly covered in a green bandana with a pokeball symbol on the front. Her outfit consists of the typical stereotyped Japanese schoolgirl uniform with a much longer skirt and on her feet is a pair of black boots. The announcer's voice echoes from the loudspeakers booming over the stadium as always,
"WELCOME ALL TO TODAY'S SECOND MATCH!! THE COMPETITORS ON THE FIELD HAVE WON TWO BATTLES EACH AND BY THE END OF THIS ONE, ONE OF THEM WILL HAVE SECURED A SPOT IN OUR FOURTH ROUND!! THE COMPETITORS, ONYM TERRA AND JADE WILL BEGIN THEIR FIGHT ONCE THE FIRST TWO POKEBALLS ARE THROWN!!" Onym takes a pokeball from his belt and smirks twirling it on his finger as it enlarges,
"Hey, if we keep this up we might take the tournament." Molly giggles and looks up at him,
"We'll all fight our hardest for you love." Onym scratches his head smiling down at her,
"I'm still getting used to that." Jade smirks and throws her arm forward,
"Let's make this a great battle!" Her pokeball and Onym's are thrown at the same time and soon Jellyfish salutes staring across at Jade's Lopunny. Jade folds her arms looking fairly unamused as she watches her Lopunny dash forward with Mach Punch only to be blasted away with Counter, "Well this isn't going the way I planned... Lopunny! Normal attacks! Psychic Pokemon take almost no damage from fighting type attacks!" Lopunny looks back at her trainer and nods before lunging forward pulsing with energy only to have it returned to her time and time again until she's suddenly blasted across the field and lays on her back in front of her trainer bruised and unconscious.
Jade clenches her teeth as Lopunny turns into a red silhouette and disappears into her ball and soon is replaces by a Ninetails who howls to the sky going into a pouncing position with her tails flaring up and suddenly she makes a mad dash at Jellyfish and latches onto him with fangs coated in fire taking pulse after pulse of Counter. She suddenly releases a fire blast relieved as Jellyfish hits the ground and she leaps away breathing rather heavily as Onym returns his Wobbufet to his ball.
Onym releases Supersonic to the field and grins as the Politoad bounces up and down clapping as he recites his name repeatedly. Ninetails looks unamused by this and sends a massive flamethrower hurling towards Supersonic who leaps into the air avoiding the attack and taking a deep breath before unleashing a powerful Hydro Pump that hits its mark slamming into Ninetails and makes her hit the ground hard. Supersonic lands on his feet clapping a few times as Ninetails struggles to stand up but after only a few seconds she collapses and is returned to her ball, "After seeing you in battle I thought I had a plan to defeat your strategy but I just couldn't do enough damage.." Onym scratches his head,
"I won't be surprised if I have imitators in future tournaments." Jade tosses her final pokeball releasing a Gardevoir to the field who twirls majestically winking at Supersonic who's eyes turn into big hearts and he sways a bit, "Ugh... attract. Supersonic! Perish Song!" Supersonic simply stands there doing nothing as Gardevoir begins hitting him with psychic blasts over and over again. Suddenly Onym calls Supersonic back to his ball and both Onym and Molly exchange nods before Molly growls running out onto the field latching onto Gardevoir's arm and pulsing darkness through her with Crunch. Gardevoir screams out in pain and begins trying to shake Molly off but she holds strong biting harder to get the darkness to flow more powerfully.
Suddenly Gardevoir's hand begins to glow brown and Molly's eyes go wide before she's hit in the face with focus blast sending her flying across the field skidding to a hault by Onym's feet. He leans down and touches her side with a worried expression, "You okay?" Molly groans and gets back to her feet shaking her body off,
"That's gonna hurt in the morning... Don't worry, I've got this." She rushes at Gardevoir again and slides under her avoiding another Focus Blast before she leaps onto her back and pushes her down to the ground hitting her with Crunch again biting her shoulder hard until she lays unconscious.
Jade recalls her Gardevoir and puts the pokeball back on her belt folding her arms again as she stands there,
"Well that sucked." Onym had walked onto the field and had picked Molly up into his arms as he smiles across the field at Jade,
"They fight their hardest for me and our combo is almost unstoppable. It does have a few flaws though but no-one has been able to figure them out yet." Jade smirks,
"I'll keep that in mind." She then leaves the stadium waving as she disappears into the dark passageway.
The people in the stadium burst into applause as the announcer's voice booms over the stadium,
"THAT WAS INDEED A SUPERB MATCH!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN STAY RIGHT THERE BECAUSE PALLET TOWN'S ASH KETCHUM IS GOING TO BE BATTLING AGAINST MATHIEU IN THE FINAL MACTH OF THE 3RD ROUND RIGHT NOW!!" Onym begins walking out of the stadium and he and Ash high-five as he walks out of the stadium.
Ash takes a step back as he looks across at his opponent, who simply stands there smirking as he looks across at the famous trainer,
"So..." Ash blinks as Pikachu sits on his shoulder,
"Huh?"
"You're that famous kid who a lot of people have been saying will win the tournament. Well... either you or Neo. Personally I don't think either of you will win this thing." Ash looks angrily at Mathieu,
"And why is that?"
"Because I'm here too." The announcer's voice drowns out both of theirs,
"WLECOME ALL TO THE FINAL MATCH OF THE THIRD ROUND!!! THIS MATCH IS BETWEEN, IF YOU DID NOT HEAR ME BEFORE, ASH KETCHUM AND MATHIEU!! WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET THE MATCH COMMENCE!!" Mathieu's look is truly intimidating. His head is covered with short, spiky, blonde hair and he is shirtless with massive muscles. His pants are long and tattered and he wears a rope around his waist as a belt. Also he wears no shoes.
Mathieu takes a pokeball from his 'belt' and tosses it releasing a fairly mean looking Raichu to the field,
"Meet Javert." Ash grins seeing this and tosses his own pokeball releasing his Glalie to the field. Both Mathieu and Javert fold their arms in unison as Glalie begins rocketing towards them and as soon as he's within range Javert suddenly bolts forward in a combination of Volt Tackle and Thunderpunch blasting Glalie across the field into the wall behind Ash. A moment later Glalie falls from the indent his body made and lies unconscious on the ground till he returns to his ball. Ash stands there stunned as he looks back at Javert and Pikachu begins sparking at the cheeks,
"You go buddy!" Pikachu nods and leaps off of his trainer's arm hitting the ground and springing forward in his own Volt Tackle. Javert stands not even flinching as Pikachu rams into his stomach only to be deflected by Javert's stance and he hits the ground hard. Javert raises an eyebrow as he looks at the little yellow mouse hitting the ground and Pikachu stands up radiating with electrical energy before he rockets forward again this time being punched to the left and sent flying but nearly a second later Javert disappears and reappears in front of where Pikachu is flying to and uppercuts the yellow mouse into the air and disappearing again, "Pikachu!!" Javert instantly reappears above Pikachu and spins slamming his lightning bolt tail into Pikachu's body making him fly back down. Mathieu looks up at Javert and whistles,
"Hey! No killing!" Javert nods and reappears under Pikachu punching him into the wall on the outside of the arena. Pikachu hits the ground a moment after purple with bruises and bleeding in a few places on his head. Ash's eyes go wide as he runs forward yelling Pikachu's name and Mathieu simply watches and when Ash picks up Pikachu he speaks, "You have one more Pokemon left Ketchum. Get back over there." Ash glares at the trainer and heads back over to his square clenching his fists before he throws his final pokeball releasing Charizard to the field.
Mathieu whistles and Javert turns around, "This one looks stronger then the others. Full power, one hit knock out." Javert nods and faces the dragon to see him flying forward and Javert bends over backwards avoiding the claws of the Charizard before he smiles and throws a punch into Charizard's stomach making the Dragon gag for a few seconds and a few drops of blood hit the ground before the impact occurs and Charizard is blasted away landing next to Ash thoroughly knocked out, "BOOSH! Nice try kid." Mathieu then returns Javert and walks out of the stadium.
Ash stands there speechless as he watches Mathieu leave and he returns Charizard to his pokeball placing it back on his belt before he bolts out of the stadium towards the Pokemon center. The announcer's voice occurs in the stadium next,
"AND IN A SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS ASH KETCHUM HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT BY MATHIEU!! I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR WHOEVER HAS TO BATTLE HIM NEXT! THE THIRD ROUND HAS COME TO A CLOSE AND THE FOURTH WILL START TOMORROW!! WITH THAT I BID YOU ALL, GOOD DAY!!"Chapter End Notes:here ya go guys. comments are very much accepted and I'll respond to them once I get them ^
