Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Unovan Frontier

(Scott) Well now! I believe you two had some welcoming presents for our newest teammate. (Spencer) Ash as our newest Frontier Brain, I thought you would need a partner to defend your city. In that regard I bring you this, he said, as he pulled a pokemon egg out of his satchel. (Spencer) This is from my friend Shiftree, he will bring you lots of wins and excellent companionship. (Tucker) Not to be out done by us, I bring you a similar gift. My Arcanine has only produced 2 eggs in his entire life. This little one was his third, as you can see, this is a shiny Growlithe. I too hope he will be one of your best friends Ash. Thanks Tucker, Spencer! I will care for them like I have my other poke-children. You can count on that!

(Tucker) I do believe you will Ash! But first, on to our next order of business. (Scott) Ash first let me thank you, for accepting the invitation! Next, you have one more trial, Brandon will you join us? You must face Spencer and Tucker in a Tag-Battle. Brandon in a Double Battle and Myself in a full battle. Are you up to your first challenge as Frontier Brain of Battle City? Brandon came out of the quarters, (Brandon) Ash! You look good young man, I am eager to see what kind of battle you provide for us today. I looked at Cilan and Iris and I grinned like a maniac. Scott, I accept your challenge! What ever order you want, bring it on! Dexter: Dial Professor Oak, *ring ring ring, phone call* *ring ring ring* (Oak) Thank you for calling Oak Labs, how can I assist you today? Hey Professor! It's Ash, listen, Scott got a hold of me earlier than anticipated. Now I have a challenge that's a tall order,

I'm gonna need 10 pokemon just to get past it. (Oak) Ohh? What challenge is that Ash? A tag-battle, a double battle, and a full battle back to back no breaks. I'll be facing Tucker, Spencer, Brandon and Scott. Professor? I got some welcoming gifts in the form of two eggs to add to my children. One from a powerful Shiftree, and one from a powerful Arcanine. (Oak) That's great news Ash! I'm gonna send you some of my pokemon. Professor, I am taking possession of Battle City today! I'll send you the recordings later today, show them to Mom please? Better yet, why don't you two pop in with Alakazam and watch the battle!? (Oak) I believe I have no important items of business to attend to. I think Delia would like to see you earn your own domain. Yeah! I know she would too.

As we were having this conversation, Scott was leading us to the battlefield. Ian, I said, would you set the battlefield? (Ian) Aye Captain, it will be done! By the way, he handed me a newer version of the watch sized communication device. (Ian) This device has the capabilities of a poke-nav, poke-gear, and Pokedex all in one. As this was happening Tucker and Spencer came down to the trainer box. My frontier symbol was stamped on the center of the field. As the field settled a bright flash went off. Professor Oak and Mom showed up with Alakazam and Mimey. I grinned widely and waved Hi Mom! Professor! Iris, Cilan, why don't you guys watch with Professor Oak and Mom. I've got this part covered! A young woman about 20ish came out and introduced herself as Lexi, my in house medic for the time being. (Rin) Captain Ketchum, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Welcome to Battle City, I will be your permanent referee. I am known as Rin. Awesome! Thanks for being part of our crew Rin, Lexi, and Ian I have one more person in mind that I could give a job to.

I waved at the robot referee provided by Scott. The digitized female voice was welcoming, at least I thought so. (Rin) Welcome to Battle City, this will be the acceptance battle for Frontier Brain Ash Ketchum of Battle City. This will be a handicap battle, as Mr. Ketchum will be facing four trainers alone. Challengers please choose your pokemon. The field finished settling on the grass/ rock field. (Tucker) You gave us such a riveting battle last time we met Ash. I hope you've improved! (Spencer) Your aura and pokemon seem to be richer and more seasoned. I hope we meet with all of our power today. (Spencer/Tucker) Your opponents for today are (Tucker) Arcanine Go! (Spencer) Shiftree, to my side! There they were, two of the toughest pokemon I have ever had to face. I've faced both of you in battle and I have won before. Today will be no different, you're in my house now! Emboar/ Servine: Defend Battle City!

Ok you two, I'm gonna need you to go all the way in from the start. These two are no ordinary trainers! (Pikachu) These two are monsters and their pokemon are too!

(Emboar) For Pikachu to give us warning; Servine, let's crush them! (Servine) I hear you big guy, I agree, let's crush them! (Rin) This Tag-Battle will continue until both pokemon on either side are unable to go on. Challengers you have the first move, Battle Begin! (Spencer) Shiftree: Use Pound, (Tucker) Arcanine: Flamethrower. It has begun and there's no turning back now! Emboar: Flamethrower, Servine: Leaf Storm! The flames collided causing a cloud to form obscuring the field. (Spencer) Shiftree: Use Bullet Seed, (Tucker) Arcanine: Extreme Speed! You think so? Emboar: Flame Thrust, all the speed of Flame Charge and all the power of Arm Thrust. Shiftree jumped above Servine's Leaf Storm, and unleashed Bullet Seed on her. Don't let'em in Servine, defend yourself with Vine Whip!

(Spencer) Do what you like! Shiftree: Rock Smash, Servine: Push back with Iron Tail. (Tucker) Arcanine: Iron Tail knock that Emboar out! I don't think so, Emboar: Defend with Roll Out! When Iron Tail and Rock Smash collided both pokemon were pushed backwards. Same with Roll Out and Iron Tail, Tch! Servine: Use Magical Leaf, Emboar: Brick Break! These two were responding like champions today. Servine was holding up well despite being behind by an evolution. Shiftree was not getting past her, Servine: Dragon Tail (Spencer) Shiftree: Use Twister knock that Servine off its feet. (Tucker) Arcanine: Fire Fang, let's slow that Emboar down a bit. Emboar stop, I said via aura bond, let him come to you! Just prepare a Thunder Punch, and be ready. (Emboar) Gotcha Captain, I smiled knowing that I would be refered to as Captain from now on.

Twister broke even with Servine's Dragon Tail. She flipped backwards to land on her feet. (Spencer) Shiftree: Shadow Ball, (Tucker) Arcanine: Extreme Charge! Oh shit! Tucker just turned up the pressure. If I understood him correctly, he instructed Arcanine to use Flame Charge and Extreme Speed. Emboar, don't move: Flame Out! If they were going to play hard ball then so could I. Servine: Dig! (Spencer) Shiftree: Grassy Terrain, he was attempting to remove control of the battlefield from us. For the first time in the battle Emboar took a solid hit. Although it looked like Arcanine didn't really do too well either. (Spencer/Tucker) SOLAR BEAM! Servine was still safe digging underground. She came up just in time to watch Emboar go flying over her head. Hitting the wall from the combined Solar Beam.

Servine held a special place in her heart for the Unova team. They're her home team after all, so watching Emboar tossed around was infuriating. She must have broken a limiter or something because her aura skyrocketed. (Shiftree) Come little leaf, show me what you've got. This made her eyes narrow to slits, (Servine) only one male alive is allowed to call me that. She ground out, AND YOU'RE NOT MY BULBASAUR!! In one solid leap she crashed down on Shiftree with Aqua Tail. Emboar was just getting to his feet when he felt the ground shake. He looked up to watch as Servine flipped backwards off of the Shiftree. (Emboar) Finally showing it off aye? (Servine) Shades and Dewott went out of their way to teach it to me. It's only fair that I use it to defend our home.

Emboar, you good? (Emboar) Yeah, I'm fine, let's do this! (Spencer) Shiftree: Leaf Storm (Tucker) Arcanine: Solar Beam! Servine: Use Dragon Blade, cut through that Solar Beam! Emboar: Flame Charge, they got within 2 body lengths when I said: Switch up, via aura bond. Servine leapt over Emboar as they switched sides right before impact. Emboar cut through the Solar Beam with no struggle. Servine spun her way above the Leaf Storm, delivering the combination move. *Boom Boom* just like that we delivered our first meaningful hit of the battle. Alright you guys, way to go! Servine: Magical Bomb, Emboar: Use Fire Pledge as a counter shield! Meganiun teaching Magical Bomb to Snivy was the best idea ever! Shiftree found that out the hard way, when he was pounded into the battlefield. (Rin) Shiftree is unable to continue, Spencer is removed from battle. Battle Continue! Arcanine wasn't doing too much better than his partner did. One eye shut, gritting his teeth, visible bruising on his rib cage, and a slight limp on the left fore paw.

Looks like Extreme Speed is out of the picture. Servine and Emboar are both starting to run out of steam. Servine, Emboar, finish this: Solar Beam and Fire Blast! (Tucker) Defend yourself with Fire Blast Arcanine! Solar Beam and Arcanine's Fire Blast clashed, Solar Beam began to lose ground. Emboar's Fire Blast hit the Solar Beam and absorbed it. Making the flames white-hot, the Arcanine's flames began to be absorbed into Emboar's Fire Blast. (Tucker) Arcanine, dodge that! Unfortunately for Tucker he wasn't observing his partner closely enough and it cost him the battle.

*BOOM* (Rin) Arcanine is unable to continue, Tucker and Spencer have both lost their partners. The battle goes to our Frontier Brain: Ash Ketchum. (Delia) Oh my! What a riveting battle, I can hardly catch my breath. My Ashy is so strong now! He's growing up so fast Red, look at our boy! She said to herself (Oak) Ha ha! Look at you boy, show them Ash Ketchum. Show them what the power of the world's strongest is. He thought as he watched Ash work (Brandon) Well *sigh* that was refreshing! It looks like it's my turn to grace the stage. Walking his way to the challengers box, the battlefield finished changing to a Dirt/ Rock field. (Brandon) As you know Ash, I am an archaeologist and I have come across some interesting things in my journeys. Some of my best friends have come from these travels.

He held up 2 pokeballs and tossed them Clay Doll, Aerodactyl: I need your assistance! I grinned at Brandon, in defense of Battle City, Noctowl/ Gabite: I choose you! (Rin) Round Two of the acceptance of Battle City, Begin! (Brandon) Clay Doll: Psy Beam, Aerodactyl: Swift! Noctowl: Shadow Ball, Gabite: Stone Edge! Brandon was mildly surprised, when Noctowl was able to defend with one Shadow Ball. Even more so when Swift and Stone Edge broke even. He grinned (Brandon) Aerodactyl: Iron Head! Now Gabite, I said via aura bond, Iron Head and Giga Impact! Brandon heard me say Gabite: Iron Impact! The strength of Iron Head backed up by Giga Impact. It turned the pinkish energy darker. It looked more amethyst now, than pinkish lilac. (Brandon) Aerodactyl: don't stop! Use Giga Impact as well. *BOOOOM* the smoke and dust cloud blinded us for a few seconds.

Before the dust cleared Noctowl: Confusion, follow it up with Steel Wing! Being able to sense the power that Clay Doll used was a blessing for us. Noctowl landed Confusion, Clay Doll was able to throw Reflect up, right before Steel Wing hit. Then Clay Doll started to smash itself against the battlefield. This is our home Noctowl, Finish it: PSYCHIC! While still under the effects of Confusion, Clay Doll was slammed into the walls ground and then ceiling. Noctowl let it go and Clay Doll fell limply to the floor in a heavy thud. When the dust finally cleared Clay Doll, Aerodactyl, and Gabite were unable to battle. Noctowl still flying over our battlefield smugly looking down on Brandon.

Noctowl, you have a Clay Doll under your belt now! Amazing! Rin was almost a carbon copy of Jimero the referee bot that presided over the battle at Spencer's Palace. (Rin) Gabite is unable to continue, Both of the Pyramid King's pokemon are unable to continue, victory goes to the Frontier Brain Ash Ketchum. Both of you: Return! In two crimson flashes Noctowl and Gabite were returned. I held up Gabite's ball, thank you Gabite! You want above and beyond today taking that Aerodactyl with you. Thank you for defending our new home so hard.

*Wiggle wiggle* his ball shook in acknowledgement of my words. The nurse on call came and took my pokemon as the field changed once again. She looked similar to a Joy but her hair and mannerisms were different. A plain Grass field locked into place, Rin flew out to the middle of the battlefield. (Scott) Ash, you surprised me yet again! You have not lost your cool once yet. This challenge isn't over yet! I chose to be last on purpose. (Rin) Final Round: acceptance of Battle City. Scott vs Ash. This will be a full battle, once 3 of either side's pokemon have been eliminated. There will be a battlefield change, trainers call out your pokemon! (Scott) Let's see how you deal with this Ash, Tyranitar: Let's Battle! I grinned, excellent! Tit for tat it is, Tyranitar: Defend Battle City! Now, don't get me wrong! Scott's Tyranitar was an impressive specimen. However! My Tyranitar was something else. A head and a half taller a darker shade of green and an aura that was nearly 3 times the one across from us. I could see Spencer's eyes get giant from the stands.

(Spencer) But how? Where did young Ash find such a prodigal specimen? (Iris) He's known Tyranitar since it was a Larvitar, they met in Johto years ago. (Cilan) Yes, Ash's Tyranitar is definitely tough, this is going to be a battle of wills for sure. (Delia) Oh my! What a beautiful Tyranitar it looks so dangerous from here. (Mimey) Miss Delia, that young one is strong! It is also 100 percent loyal to Ash. This will be a fantastic battle! (Delia) Thank you Mimey, I can always count on you. (Oak) Is this the Larvitar from back then? What majesty, his aura is impressive, borderline elite aura now!? Oh yeah, he's going to be something special. (Rin) Trainers are you ready? We both nodded (Rin) Battle Begin!

(Scott & I) TYRANITAR: DARK PULSE

The collision of dark power was intense. It caused the energy shields to show themselves. *BOOM* the deep rumble that it produced was felt. (Scott) Tyranitar: Dragon Claw! Tyranitar: Push back with Metal Claw!

*BOOM* the clash looked and sounded even, until Scott's Tyranitar came flying out of the impact cloud. Rolling across the battlefield, to a face down stop. A muffled grunt that came from Tyranitar, as it was getting back up. I hollered out, Tyranitar: Fire Blast! The flames hit and exploded upon Scott's Tyranitar. He was sent skipping across the battlefield. Other than concussive force and the skipping across the ground, Tyranitar got back up angry.

Do we have your attention yet Scott!? The bellow Tyranitar released was all the answer that was necessary. (Scott) HYPER BEAM! Tyranitar: Push back with Dark Pulse, Show'em they're out classed! I heard Scott scoff at that, I also watched his eyes go wider than his shades could cover, when they broke even. *BOOM* a large collision cloud blanketed the battlefield. Tyranitar: Stone Edge! The storm of basketball sized stonescame flying through the dust cloud at Scott's partner. That didn't knock it out but, certainly put out that fire it just showed. Now Tyranitar: Finish it, Hyper Beam! The poor fella only had time to look up, and see the Hyper Beam headed at his face. *BOOM* (Cilan) Wow! Ash's Tyranitar certainly is strong. (Iris) I know Cilan, I'm really glad we helped him evolve! I can't believe he's only been a Tyranitar for a week! (Tucker) *Spits out drink* A WEEK!

(Spencer/Brandon) How interesting! (Rin) Scott's Tyranitar is unable to continue, Frontier Brain Ash Ketchum's Tyranitar takes the point. Scott, choose your next pokemon please. (Scott) I hear you Rin, that's an impressive specimen you have there Ash! But I have an impressive specimen here too, Milotic: Let's battle! Scott's Milotic was gorgeous but, I had a handsomely fearsome answer to that beauty. I gave them a savage grin GYARADOS: DEFEND BATTLE CITY! *ROOAARR* (Spencer) What an incredible specimen! (Tucker) Those golden scales denote it's beauty as much as it's power. (Rin) Gyarados versus Milotic, Battle Start. (Scott) Milotic use Disarming Voice, I scoffed at that. Gyarados: Roar, the energies from the vocal moves clashed and nullified one another.

(Scott) That's some Gyarados you have there Ash. Try this on for size, Milotic: Water Pulse. I'll meet you head on, Gyarados: you use Water Pulse too. The explosion of water that blanketed the battlefield was immense. Milotic and Gyarados were showing off real power here. (Scott) Well young man, you certainly are unpredictable. Milotic: Use Iron Tail! Alright, we'll take that challenge, Gyarados: Push back with Dragon Tail! *BOOM* the collision of moves caused a cloud of dust to rise. Gyarados: Hydro Pump (Scott) Milotic: Use Hydro Pump to defend yourself! As the splash of water happened, (Scott) Now Milotic: Fairy Wind. I grinned, I was waiting for just a move like this. Gyarados: Fly and use Dragon-Aqua Tail. (Scott) What!? That Gyarados can fly!? Milotic: quick, use Disarming Voice!

I don't think so! Gyarados don't stop, use Aqua Jet as a counter shield! The resulting collision left the field blanketed in a cloud of mist. (Scott) Milotic: use Twister! Nothing happened for a few moments before, Gyarados: Hydro Pump! The cloud parted ways for the flying Milotic, as it rolled across the battlefield. Frustration creeping in, watching his Milotic get tossed around. You thought I wouldn't have an answer to her, didn't you Scott? You figured that Shiny Milotic was going to throw a wrench in my stride. Until my golden boy appeared across from you. Gyarados: Let's heat this match up. Dragon Breath! (Scott) No, I can't say that I did expect you to have an answer to her. Honestly I expected brute force or worse, your Pikachu. He cringed when he said that, (Scott) a Pikachu that can go toe to toe with a Regice and walk away victorious!? Not really the kind of power I fancy taking on casually.

What an interesting choice of words, I thought as I grinned at him.

Don't worry Scott, this is a full battle after all, you'll still meet Pikachu today. Scott grinned and patted his belt, there's a strong electric type there. (Scott) Milotic: Use Swift, the speedy star shaped energy constructs came after us. Hotter Gyarados! Spin in place and use Flamethrower! (Gyarados) This is that counter-whatever you have the team use? Counter shield buddy, yeah we use an attack as a defense mechanism. Allowing us to attack from concealment depending on the situation. (Gyarados) Attack as defense you say? I can get behind that! Now from in there Gyarados: FIRE BLAST! Scott was unaware of our psychic dialogue, so he was caught off guard when Fire Blast came rushing at Milotic. (Scott) HYDRO PUMP MILOTIC! The steam cloud that followed had us waiting for it to clear.

One more shot Gyarados! Hyper Beam, finish this. Gyarados began charging the Hyper Beam, while coiling his body for a jump. The brightest part of the charge happening in the air. Nobody ever looks up during a battle that isn't an air battle. At the apex of his jump Gyarados released Hyper Beam on Milotic. The beam was held at bay by a Protect thrown up by Milotic. However a few moments later, I heard the distinct sound of a Protect breaking. (Scott) Milotic! Are you alright!? The silence after the collapse deafening, as the cloud cleared there was an unconscious Milotic and heavily breathing but still ready to go Gyarados. (Rin) Milotic is unable to continue, Victory goes to Frontier Brain Ash Ketchum and Gyarados. I sighed Gyarados: Return, as the crimson flash cleared I held his ball up: Thank you my friend, I hope this is the pace we keep always. His ball wiggled in acknowledgement.

I readjusted my hat once again Scott, almost to the half way mark. Battle City WILL be my home base and from here I'll prove my prowess. (Scott) I have to admit, I was definitely not expecting you to have anything that could match up to Milotic that soon. Despite that I must ensure you are qualified to be its leader. Magmortar: Let's Battle! Professor Oak!? Did you bring him with you?

(Oak) I did my boy *tosses pokeball* I caught his pokeball and sighed again. I looked at his ball, you're the only one that can do this. Ok Scott, a fire type for a fire type! Infernape: Defend Battle City! (Infernape) Ash! Who are these people? Where are we? and why do I have to defend this Battle City you speak of? I flared my aura as I held my fist out to Infernape, he bumped it. He put a hand on one knee and took a few deep breaths.

(Infernape) Woah! He scowled at me, we should've killed her then. I scowled too, even though I agree with you now. Back then I wouldn't have, now however! I am in the final stretch of accepting my own frontier facility. This field you're standing on IS Battle City, this is almost our very own home field. Help me, make it happen old friend!? He grinned at me and pumped his fist back . He turned towards Scott who was looking at us quizzically. IINFEERRRNNAAAAAAPPEEE! His flame crown flaring intensely. (Rin) Magmortar versus Infernape, Battle Start! (Scott) Magmortar: Use Flamethrower. Infernape: Flamethrower right back at them! Magmortar's dual arm cannons against Infernape's single flame.

Infernape is one of the most loyal and powerful pokemon ever met! I'm so glad I adopted him, after Paul let him go. *BOOM* the flames exploded mid-field (Scott) Magmortar Spikes! I see what you're trying to do Scott, not in my house! Infernape: Dig. My buddy disappeared and ran his course along the field. I felt when he stopped moving, Now Infernape: Flare Blitz from underground! Scott's eyes grew wider with every spike that exploded. Infernape reappeared on my side of the battlefield. Infernape: Fire Blast make that Magmortar work! (Scott) Magmortar: Fight back with Fire Blast! Oh no you don't, Infernape: push it forward with Flame Wheel! Fire Blast ended up acting like a counter shield, letting the Flame Wheel hit.

Or so I thought! (Scott) Magmortar: No restraints, Incinerate! I didn't see the malicious grin Magmortar got. Neither did Infernape, the white hot flame hit him in the chest. Sending him back in to the wall behind me. INFERNAPE! Are you ok!? (Infernape) *Grunting* I'm fine! (Scott) Magmortar: Thunder Punch! The cloud still hadn't cleared, and Infernape found himself on the receiving end. (Scott) Magmortar: Finish it with Thunder Punch! Unfortunately for us it connected, fortunately for us I raised an eyebrow, it connected! Infernape went down for a moment (Rin) Infernape is down, Magmor... (Infernape) You asshole! That really stung, he spat out a wad of bile and snot. Now I'm awake, and I'M PISSED! Blaze! Activating when I needed it most, we are not about to lose a single round!

This battle with my new employer and coworkers. This is the greatest feeling in the world! To be this in tune with your partner on the battlefield . (Scott) Woah. That's impressive (Rin) Battle Resume! (Scott) Magmortar: Hyper Beam! Infernape broke a barrier, he has never moved this fast before! Alright buddy, push back with Solar Beam! When they broke even, Scott readjusted his sunglasses. (Scott) Now there's something I've never seen before. You have an impressive Infernape, Ash Ketchum. Thanks Scott! Your Magmortar is quite impressive as well. To push him to Blaze, that's tough stuff! Infernape finish it: Fire Blast!

(Scott) Magmortar: Lava Plume, don't let them win! The fire star was at least five times bigger than average. Not only did it stand up to Lava Plume but it burned out the molten earth and absorbed the heat. What hit Magmortar was a white-hot Fire Blast that was all of Infernape's power. Plus everything he just put into his own attack. *BOOM* the whir of Rin's propellers as she inspected the battlefield, was exasperating. (Rin) Magmortar is unable to continue, point goes to Infernape and our Frontier Brain. I took a deep breath (Delia) what an amazing battle, my Ash looks so focused on the task. (Oak) Ash, you really have come a long way haven't you? (Cilan) Ash certainly has improved his battling style, the recipe is so robust and full of hidden flavors.

(Iris) That Infernape is something special, I hope we don't have to face him, she cringed at the prospect. (Rin) Three of Scott's pokemon are out of competition. We will take a five minute break to switch battlefields. *Ring, ring, ring, phone call* Ash Ketchum, what can I do ya' for? (Misty) I just wanted to see how you were doing in Unova! I have thought a lot about you recently, and I hope you're ok out there. Sure thing Misty! Dexter, will you link the rest of the battle to her feed please? Let her see what has happened so far. Listen Misty, I gotta get back to work here! The field is setting into place, enjoy the footage so far! See ya later, I grinned at her as I hung up the call.

-Misty Waterflower-

His grin is so endearing, why is he so damned charming!? Ugh! I facepalm because I'm exasperated at these feelings I have for him. *Ding, ding* this is... The video coalesced into a flying droid. This droid looked a lot like the ones they use in the Battle Frontier. Welcome to Battle City, this is the acceptance battle for Frontier Brain Ash Ketchum of Battle City. This will be a handicap battle, as Mr. Ketchum will be facing four trainers alone. Trainers choose your pokemon! The video then goes on to show Ash beat Tucker and Spencer of the Battle Frontier at the same time! As the battle progressed, I couldn't help but feel like I was watching the birth of a legend.

*Deep Sigh* I have to become the strongest water trainer in the world. Nothing else will do to be on his arm. I clenched my fist tightly as I made my choice. Daisy, Violet! I stalked towards them, I challenge you to a handicap Tag-Battle. (Violet) Ok, so like, what are the stakes!? A pilgrimage, to collect powerful water type pokemon from all over the world. Securing the legacy Daddy left us, our status as thee Flagship Water Type Gym. The pokemon we have suffice for daily battles. Daddy wanted Cerulean Gym to be the hardest Water Type battle. I want to honor that the right way. That being said Misty calls: Psyduck and Gyarados, into the water! After Ash left Psyduck started acting like he did after he was taught Calm Mind. A little after that, Gyarados came around like nothing ever changed. The girls don't know about my other nasty surprises.

-Back in Battle City -

(Rin) We will resume the battle on a Rock/ Dirt Field. Scott, Ash, choose your pokemon. I wanted to use you when we came back from the break. I was speaking to Bulbasaur's pokeball. His ball wiggled in response to my words. (Pikachu) Ash, I think he'll come out to play next. I do believe (Scott) Jolteon: Let's Battle! (Pikachu) That it's my turn now, he finished with a smug grin, as he tensed his muscles ahead of the battle. Alright buddy! You win, Pikachu: Defend Battle City! I punched the air in front of me. Pikachu flipped off my arm, landed on all fours and sparked electricity from his cheeks. (Rin) Pikachu versus Jolteon, Battle Start! Reintroduce yourself to the crowd Pikachu: Thunderbolt! (Scott) Jolteon: Use Shadow Ball, they might've met in the middle!

However, Pikachu's Thunderbolt pushed that Shadow Ball back to sender. *BOOM* Jolteon felt the punch from that, he shook his head and barked at Pikachu. (Jolteon) You miserable tiny mouse, I'll crush you! (Scott) Jolteon: Thunder Wave. Alright brother, I said through aura bond, show them! Pikachu: Spin and use Thunderbolt! The counter shield blocked the Thunder Wave causing a dust cloud. (Scott) Joteon: Use Electroball. Pikachu: Electroball, right back at them! Joteon's Electroball might be considered powerful. Until today, when he met face to face with my Pikachu! He broke through Joteon's Electroball and fried the canine. (Scott) Tch! What a monster, that Pikachu is in a class of his own. Pikachu: Fly and follow it up with Quick Attack. Jolteon was barely on all fours when he was sent flying again.

Rolling awkwardly he got socked good, grunting Jolteon forced his way back on to his paws. (Jolteon) You miserable little piece of fodder! HOW DARE YOU! I scoffed, Fodder? Pikachu, show him who the fodder is: Ion Tackle! (Scott) So, you can communicate freely with pokemon. What an interesting new skill you have Ash. Jolteon: Use Wild Charge! Jolteon charged at Pikachu wrapped in Electric Tape. *BOOOM* Pikachu's Ion Tackle sent Jolteon along with the Electroball rocketing backwards. *BOOM* Electroball detonated shooting Jolteon violently into the wall, ending the match. (Rin) Jolteon is unable to continue, Our Frontier Brain and Pikachu take the point. He jumped into my arms (Pikachu) how'd you like that Ash?
